1) Already in their early years Joe und Daniel were experimenting with different music genres and found their destination in electronic music. Soon their first output "Demo Lition" was taking the dancefloors by storm. SAM was born. Shortly after the first, self-titled debut album "Synthetic Adrenaline Music" was being released by the Pro Noize label from the Dark Dimensions family. With their clubhit "24 Stunden" SAM entered the German Alternative Charts (DAC) and several other disco- and webcharts. That was in 2006.
After a short time of absence and development SAM started working on their new release "Destruction Unit", which was released in 2008. After the pause, it seems that the music is more powerfull and agressive than ever!
The new album features 12 new brute dancefloor-tracks as well as exclusive remixes by top acts like Soman, Xotox, Reaper, C/A/T and Modulate. The perfect start for a powerfull year 2008!

- Note from the artist: We want to clarify something about the correct spelling of our project-name and the associated Last.fm account.
The correct spelling is “SAM” without any dots. The name “S.A.M” is incorrect.
That is important, because our music is listed in various Mp3-portals like iTunes with the tag “SAM”.

Sam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came in like a vision from the old west wind
Like a bright new dream that I was steppin' in
Saw your face and I knew it was a sign
And I still think about that moment all of the time

You know that I could never make this up
I found the reason I'm not givin' it up
I felt the fever when I knew he was mine

Oh, and I am gonna love you for a long time

And in the mornin' when I'm wakin' up
I swear that you're the first thing that I'm thinkin' of
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time

Oh, I never knew it, yeah, you took me by surprise
While I was gettin' lost so deep inside your diamond eyes
So many things that I still wanna say
And if devotion is a river, then I'm floatin' away

And in the mornin' when you pick me up
And all the world is quiet, 'cept the mourning dove
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I

Oh, don't slow down now, gonna break me down
Put your hands in my hair, put your mouth on my mouth
Don't slow this down, never let me go
Baby, don't you wanna see how far this thing can go?
Can go?
How far it can go
Oh

And in the mornin' when I'm wakin' up
I swear that forever could never be enough
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I
Oh, and I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I
Oh, I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I

I'm gonna love you for a long time
Gonna love you for a long time
Oh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm gonna love you

Oh, I'm gonna love you
Ooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Time" by Sam addresses the theme of change and personal growth. The lyrics start with a call for everyone to dance and move away from fighting that consumes their lives. The first line suggests that the people are running away from something or towards something, and their home doesn't provide the comfort they need. The next few lines hint at the singer being caught up in the fast-paced city life and getting a glimpse of how the rich and poor both move through the system. It is during this time that the singer realizes that he needs a change in his life and feels that the old values were not worth keeping.

In the chorus, the artist mentions that time is everything, and he needs to lift himself up to be a better man. He acknowledges that the world around him is full of problems that could potentially bring him down, but he needs to change to show himself and others why he doesn't belong here. The final lines of the song indicate that the artist's time has come to an end, and the game is over. He invites people to come and see for themselves that time waits for no one, and they need to make the best of their time here.
