W&W Productions: With tracks like ‘Ensure’, ‘Show my Shuffle’, ‘Origin’ & ‘Stab My Speaker’, Willem and Wardt initially started out producing their own respective floor-thrillers. The serendipitous Trance Energy meet quickly bore their debut W&W production though, which came in the form of the mighty ‘Mustang’. ‘Dome’ & ‘Arena’ (which featured on the Armin Only DVD) followed up its freshman success and fast found the CDJs of trance luminaries like Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Sander Van Doorn & Judge Jules. Tipped by Armin van Buuren as “the best up-and-coming production duo out there”, W&W have continued to rock federation trance to its core with ‘Mainstage’, the Sean Tyas-remixed ‘D.N.A’ and their Ummet Ozcan collaboration ‘Synergy’ each bringing floors to critical mass. Remix-side, their voracious rewires have proved equally as popular - most notably on Armin’s ‘Rain’, ‘Remedy’ (by UK pop starlet Little Boots) and those of Sander van Doorn, Leon Bolier, Sied van Riel, & others.
DJs: Almost a year to the day since Willem & Wardt first shook hands they were on hand to witness Sander van Doorn spinning the furiously phat beats and compressed melodies of ‘Mustang’ at Trance Energy. Galvanised by its floor-response (and defining their sounds as “big room trance with a techy edge”), they, themselves quickly took up the spinning mantle. That route has taken them to some of the most respected nights out there. Ones that have come to include Poland’s Sunrise Festival, the A State Of Trance 400 gigs and a spot playing alongside Tiësto at his massive stadium gig in Kiev. Just two years further down the road from their first gigs together, with Trance Energy 2010 fast approaching the pair are ready to play one of the biggest events in the dance music calendar....
The Mainstage Radio Show: Now a regular standing fixture in the trance enthusiasts listening schedule, W&W’s Mainstage radio show exports their diverse sound around the world on a monthly basis. Broadcasting on the renowned Afterhours FM (one of the world’s five most popular trance-based websites), in January of 2010 it was revamped & relaunched with a host of new elements (including regular competitions, features and interviews). Mainstage goes on Afterhours.FM on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month between 18.00 and 19.00 hours CET.

W&W Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It's not so bad)
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
And even if I could, it would all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It's not so bad
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
The lyrics to W&W's song "U" convey feelings of sadness and disillusionment that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines, "My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I / Got out of bed at all," set the tone of melancholy and introspection. The singer is questioning their own actions and the purpose of their daily routine, suggesting a sense of dissatisfaction or apathy.
The mention of the morning rain clouds obscuring the singer's window frames the scene with a metaphor for the lack of clarity or brightness in their life. This visual imagery reflects the singer's emotional state of feeling unable to see clearly or find joy in their surroundings. The repetition of "It's not so bad" throughout the song can be seen as an attempt to find solace or reassurance in the midst of their struggles.
The emphasis on the grey color palette further emphasizes the bleakness and monotony the singer feels in their life. The contrast between the dullness of the grey world around them and the presence of a picture on their wall serves as a beacon of hope or comfort. The mention of the picture reminding them that "It's not so bad" suggests that there is some ray of light or positivity that they are holding onto amidst their despair.
Overall, these lyrics capture a raw and vulnerable moment of emotional turbulence and searching for solace. Through the juxtaposition of gloomy imagery and a small source of comfort, the song conveys the complexity of human emotions and the resilience to find moments of brightness even in the darkest of times. It speaks to the universal experience of grappling with hardship and finding ways to cope and find moments of peace in the midst of turmoil.

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Feeling disheartened, questioning the reason for my actions
Got out of bed at all
Struggling to find motivation to start the day
The morning rain clouds up my window
The gloomy weather adding to my feelings of sadness
And I can't see at all
Feeling lost and unable to see a clear path forward
And even if I could, it'd all be grey
Even if I could see, everything would still seem dull and lifeless
But your picture on my wall
Finding solace and comfort in the memory of you
It reminds me that it's not so bad
Serving as a reminder that there are still moments of brightness in my life
It's not so bad
Overall, things may not be as terrible as they seem

Saw Hardwell live two nights ago, he played the drop from this and everyone lost their shit. W&W haven't ruined anything, they just put their own style on it. Now people who love big room can listen to it and if you don't like big room, you can listen to the original.

@Filippo Sertoli lol no a crescendo is increase in volume. What you have here is called a legato. If you're gonna be technical at least do it right.

You shouldn't critique music when you clearly don't know anything about it. It's a chromatic scale, not a crescendo. They're not even closely related at all.

That's the point builds you up all euphoric, then fucks you up with a dirty drop!

They didn't ruin anything. The original mix is still there for you to listen, if you don't like this one you can go hear the original.
