York is an German electronical music duo founded in 1997 by brothers Torsten Stenzel & JΓΆrg Stenzel. Producing Trance, Downtempo and House their productions are know for catchy guitar hooks and delicate dance textures.
Torsten Stenzel began his musical career early in his childhood, learning the piano from the tender age of 5 when he began his classical training. Until the age of 18 classical music and theory were his life, even playing the church organ in his home town for 2 years. In the early 90's his orientation changed and he discovered the rapidly growing techno/house movement. Little by little he put together his own studio and combined parts of his own musical production skills under the broad control of classical theory.
Torsten is currently one of the hottest and most in demand producers in Germany having worked with the likes of Tina Turner, Jennifer Paige, All Saints, Moby, Tarja Turunen, Faithless, Vanessa Mae, Chris Rea, ATB, Rick Nowels, Rob Davis and Nadja Benaissa. With 20 years of production experience and several Gold & Platinum awards, the 'Echo' Nomination and 3 million sold records, Torsten Stenzel is without a doubt a 'Master of Club and Dancemusic'.
JΓΆrg Stenzel has since the age of 11 been interested in stringed instruments, the guitar in particular, and characteristic of great guitarists such as Hendrix and Santana. He has become an outstanding contributor in the studio, and in 1997, while he was busy with ideas to combine guitar anthems with current house and trance grooves, Torsten joined him with his own ideas and 'YORK' was born.
JΓΆrg's very talented guitar skills are still today widly respected within the dance scene. Furthermore considered the key elements of several 'York' productions.
The York discography includes work with Roger Shah, ATB, Schiller, Taucher, Dj Sakin & Friends etc.
AWAKENING
York Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suffering and angels,
I know now why,
It's because of what I did to you,
It's okay now, if you believe,
I paid my prize and I did it for you,
Those dark days of a millenium, was ment to make me strong,
I guess I made you strong too,
I feel one with you now, so don't run away,
It's you, you know
It's you that saved me, and I want to save you, too
In this particular section of the song, THE AWAKENING, YORK. shares about the agony he has endured due to his past actions. He mentions how he suffered in a way he had never experienced before and alludes to angels. He then admits that the reason why he had to suffer was that he did something wrong to the person he is addressing in the song. However, he has paid for his mistakes and asks the individual to believe him when he says that everything is okay now.
YORK. then goes on to state that the challenging times he went through were meant to make him stronger, but he believes that it also helped in making the other person stronger as well. This realization becomes the basis for their shared suffering. He feels a deep connection with the person listening to his confession, and in acknowledging that they are both in pain, he pleads with them not to run away. He expresses that this person, in particular, saved him, and he wants to reciprocate that by being there for them.
Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of a person who has gone through a lot of pain, acknowledges their past mistakes, and seeks understanding and forgiveness as they come to terms with the consequences of their actions. It's a poignant display of vulnerability and raw emotion that listeners can relate to at some level.
