York is an German electronical music duo founded in 1997 by brothers Torsten Stenzel & Jörg 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'.
Jörg 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.
Jörg'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.

York Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fears.
And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong,
The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long.
And so happy Christmas for black and for white
For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.
And so this is Christmas and what have we done
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.
War is over if you want it, war is over now.
The song “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” by York feat. Wadadli Acoustics's is a cover of John Lennon's original 1971 song with the same title. The song is a call for peace and reflection during the Christmas season. The lyrics begin by acknowledging the passing of another year and the arrival of a new one, a time for reflection and introspection. The song goes on to extend the holiday greetings to everyone, regardless of their background or differences, emphasizing the need for unity and cooperation to achieve a peaceful world. The chorus repeats the message of hope for a good upcoming year without any fears, and the final line “War is over if you want it, war is over now” practically sums up the sentiment of the entire song.
The phrase “War is over if you want it” is the most striking and memorable line from the song. It is a powerful message that suggests that peace is not an elusive ideal, but attainable if people are willing to work together towards that goal. It calls for action, awareness, and empathy, urging listeners to do their part in making the world a better place.
The cover by York feat. Wadadli Acoustics's is a faithful rendition of the original song. The reggae-inspired rhythms and acoustic guitar arrangements give the song a relaxed and upbeat vibe, making it a perfect fit for the holiday season. The use of harmonies and background vocals adds depth and emotion to the lyrics, highlighting the message of unity and peace.
