In his early days, StoneBridge created Swedenโs first DJ/Remix company, SweMix. He turned a basement operation into a hugely successful record label and brand and as part of this, StoneBridge was responsible for worldwide hits like Robin S โShow Me Loveโ (StoneBridge Mix) and later earning his GRAMMY Nomination with Ne-Yo โCloserโ (StoneBridge Club Mix). In 2012 StoneBridge received a BMI Songwriter of the year award as co-writer of Jason Deruloโs 'Don't Wanna Go Homeโ, which uses StoneBridgeโs iconic โShow Me Loveโ bass line.
His prolific musical output has led to three studio albums. StoneBridgeโs debut LP came in 2004 with the arrival of โCanโt Get Enoughโ, which garnered international acclaim among clubbers and the worldโs music press. The album went on to sell over 60.000 copies and spawned undoubtedly two of StoneBridgeโs biggest singles to date; โPut โEm Highโ and โTake Me Awayโ, which both scored UK Top 10 chart positions. He then returned to the studio to complete the next album, โMusic Takes Meโ, which featured massive hits like โSOSโ, โYou Donโt Knowโ and โClose To Heavenโ. His third artist album, โThe Morning Afterโ, released in 2010, was regarded by StoneBridge as his โmusical chef d'oeuvreโ. The title track and second single from the album โTripโenโ saw StoneBridge maintain his form for success.
StoneBridge just released new mixes of his classic single Take Me Away for 2018 as well as hitting #1 on Billboard Dance Chart with hus current hit Meet In The Middle featuring Haley Joelle. Other recent singles include Billboard #5 hit Turn It Down For What and two 2016 #1 Billboard hits If You Like It and Put โEm High 2016.
With his music regularly chalking up playlist support on radio networks such as BBC Radio 1, Sirius XM and Kiss FM, StoneBridgeโs presence on the airwaves is familiar. This led to StoneBridge hosting his own weekly StoneBridge #bpmMix radio show on Sirius XM/BPM broadcasting to millions every Saturday throughout North America as well as his weekly StoneBridge HKJ Podcast. As a resident at Sirius XM/BPM his name has become synonymous with Saturday night dance music.
In addition to his busy studio, radio and touring commitments, StoneBridge also runs his own record label Stoney Boy Music, established in 1997 and boasts early releases from future stars Axwell, Eric Prydz and Robbie Rivera and the highly acclaimed sub label Dirty Harry Records.
Take Me Away
StoneBridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
When you''re away at work
I''m seeing this other guy
he''s treating me really well
you know i don''t ask for much
It''s so hard to be alone
you''re always gone
It''s so hard to be alone
you''re always gone
(gone, gone, gone...)
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
Sorry to break your heart
(but you don''t really give me much choice, do ya)
but i have to live my life
(all i wanna do is to dance and have fun)
It''s so hard when you''re away
I''m all alone
It''s so hard when you''re away
I''m all alone
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
(Ohh-whoa Ohh-whoa Ohh-whoa)
I wanna tell you this....
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..

feel the beat in the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
wanna feel the music take me away
I..I..I..I..I..
feel the beat in the music take me away
(away, away, away.....)
At first glance, StoneBridge's song "Take Me Away" seems to be a carefree party anthem about letting the music transport you to a state of ecstasy. Upon closer examination, however, the lyrics reveal a deeper, more complex story. The song's protagonist appears to be in a troubled relationship, as suggested by the opening lines: "When you're away at work, I'm seeing this other guy, he's treating me really well, you know I don't ask for much." It seems she is dissatisfied with her current partner and enjoys the attention and affection of someone else.
The chorus then comes in, with the singer expressing her desire to be carried away by the music, to escape her current reality. She seems to be seeking a release from her problems, a temporary respite from her unhappy relationship. The repeated "I..I..I.." before the chorus could indicate a sense of isolation or loneliness.
The second verse echoes the same sentiments as the first, with the singer expressing her dissatisfaction with her partner's absence and her longing for excitement and release. The final lines, "I wanna tell you this....", leave the song open-ended, leaving the listener to wonder if the singer is going to break things off with her partner or if she will continue to seek refuge in the music.
Overall, "Take Me Away" could be interpreted as a plea for escape, an admission of dissatisfaction, or simply a fun dance track. The lyrics provide a glimpse into the complexity of human relationships and the desire for personal fulfillment, making it more than just a catchy beat.
