“Watch The Sunrise” still lingers in our hearts as the hypnotic melody reveals the true house flavor that has always been embedded deep within Axwell’s soul.
It comes as no surprise that as part of the Swedish House Mafia, Axwell has always been at the forefront of the massive dance music explosion, delivering some serious fire and taking the scene by storm alongside Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. Even as we take a look at his most recent career move as one-half of Axwell /\ Ingrosso, this dance music aficionado will always stand apart, staying true to his own unique flavors and producing pieces of work that instantly become fan favorites. But, before Swedish House Mafia was even a thought, Axwell was paving his own way as a true house music solo artist with tracks that dominated the house scene including “Feel The Vibe”, “Wait A Minute”, “Lead guitar”, and this week’s #TBT, “Watch The Sunrise”.
In 2005, Axwell would stake his claim as one of the greatest creative visionaries on the planet as instantly, the buzz about Axwell’s “Watch The Sunrise” would have dance fans all over the world begging for more airplay. With an insatiable melody and an addicting house groove, the track would quickly reach the number three spot on the UK Dance Singles Chart and the BBC Radio 1 Dance Chart. Take one listen to Axwell’s “Watch The Sunrise”, released on Axwell’s very own imprint called Axtone, and we are transported into the world where Axwell sits on the throne of the house music elite.
Axwell’s top track of 2005, saw the house guru pair up with Steve Edwards, famous for Cassius’ “The Sound of Violence”, to deliver a groovy melody perfect for those sweet morning moments, as the party winds down and the sun begins to rise over the horizon. It is a song with a story. A story of a passionate love, where everything around you fades away and you are left yearning for those sweet moments, together, looking deep into each other’s eyes as the sun rises on your passionate love. 12 years later, I find myself consistently gravitating to this track and appreciating the timeless hold that it has on my soul.

Axwell feat. Steve Edwards – “Watch The Sunrise” lyrics:
Every time I see the sunset in your eyes
Words can not express the feeling deep inside
Your fire gives me sweet inspiration
When the morning comes
You bring life like a sunrise, sunrise
There’s nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (with you)
And watch the sunrise
There’s nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (to feel you)
And watch the sunrise
Every time I feel the pressure start to rise
Heaven only knows the way you’ve satisfied
Your fire gives me sweet consolation
And when the morning comes
You bring life like a sunrise, sunrise
Watch the sunrise
There’s nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (with you)
And watch the sunrise
There’s nothing more that I want
Than to touch you
To seek truth
In your eyes
The only thing that I want
Is to be with you (to feel you)
And watch the sunrise
