Marsh - British Progressive House Producer. Tom Marshall
Following his debut ‘You’ll Be Fine’ released on Silk Music’s Arrival imprint in June 2012, half a year was all it took for the UK’s Tom Marshall, aka. Marsh to gain the spotlight amongst many electronic dance music stars.
Recognised for his high energy grooves, pulsating beats and endorphin inducing melodies, it comes as no surprise that the Brit has already gained support by leading talents Dinka, Solarstone, Max Graham, Myon & Shane 54. Yet it is his widely acclaimed ‘Sleeping Now’ taken from his ‘Ethereal EP’ which has gained the most attention to date. Supported by Above & Beyond as both their ‘Trance Around The World, Record Of The Week’ and ‘Web Vote Winner’, the track has later become the record company Arrival’s best seller and continues to stir the hearts of many progressive fans worldwide.
With fresh EPs, remixes, collaborations all in the pipeline, 2013 looks to be Marsh’s biggest year yet. Expect music that will speak directly to the soul.
You Can Do

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're stuck in your own mind (you're stuck in your own mind)
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies (you believe your own lies)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're trapped in your own mind
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies
Fairy tales turn to mystery
I miss the way you looked at me
I miss who we use to be
You don't come to church like you use to
That ain't something that I can get used to
I've heard what you've been up to
Living your best life, that's your attitude
And this love can't save you
You are stuck in your own mind
And I can't save you
You believe your own lies
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're stuck in your own mind (you're stuck in your own mind)
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies (you believe your own lies)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're trapped in your own mind
I can't save you (no, I can't)
You believe your own lies
I miss who you use to be
Your candy kisses comfort me
Things use to be differently
We both thought this was meant to be
Miss seeing you around like I use to
All of our old friends ask about you
You blame me for all your actions
But I'm not the cause of your bad habits
And I can't save you
You are stuck in your own mind
This love can't change you
You believe in your own lies
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're stuck in your own mind (you're stuck in your own mind)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You believe your own lies (you believe your own lies)
I can't save you (I can't save you)
You're trapped in your own mind (you're trapped in your own mind )
I can't save you
You believe your own lies
The song "You Can Do" by Marsh is about a person who is struggling with their own thoughts and beliefs, and the singer is trying to save them but ultimately realizes that they cannot. The repeated lines "I can't save you" and "You believe your own lies" emphasize the singer's frustration and helplessness in the situation. The singer also reminisces about the person they used to be with and how things have changed, particularly in their religious beliefs. The line "Living your best life, that's your attitude" suggests that the person is content with their current situation, even if it may not align with the singer's own beliefs.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful because it emphasizes the idea that the singer cannot change the person they are trying to save. The line "This love can't change you" is particularly poignant because it suggests that even though the singer loves this person, their love is not enough to change the person's beliefs or mindset. The repeated line "You're trapped in your own mind" is also a strong image, symbolizing the person's inability to escape their negative thoughts and beliefs.
Overall, "You Can Do" is a powerful song about trying to help someone who is struggling with their own thoughts and beliefs, but ultimately realizing that you cannot save them. The singer's frustration and helplessness are palpable, and the chorus emphasizes the idea that love alone cannot change a person's mindset.

This set is euphoric, uplifting.
I love the way Marsh played with the sounds. At the middle of the set, I found myself dancing in my kitchen and then crying seconds later, I felt chills from head to toe. That is what trance is all about.
He also keeps the beat going throughout the entire set, and beautifully lowers it to kindly let you know it is over.
Every transition was very seamless, not only does it help your body flow freely while you're dancing, it also helps you release all the negative energy,.
Thank you for sharing and making amazing music, I can’t wait for more sets and songs to be released!!!!
Cheers!
