Splash! (festival)
The Splash! Festival is one of Europe's biggest hip hop and reggae festivals. It used to take place at the Oberrabenstein reservoir near Chemnitz, Germany until 2006. In 2007 and 2008 the festival was held on the Pouch peninsula in Bitterfeld, Saxony-Anhalt. Since 2009 the Ferropolis in Gräfenhainichen is the ground for the Splash! festival.
The first Splash! took place in 1998 in the inner city of Chemnitz, in a former powerhouse. From 1999 on, it was hillside the Oberrabenstein reservoir.
In the early years there were two stages, one for hip hop, and one for reggae. In 2006, the festival had extended to six stages and four party tents. The hip hop stage is adjacent to the reservoir, visitors can see the concerts while bathing. The tents house, amongst hip hop and drum and bass DJs, dancehall and reggae sound systems, a graffiti contest and ITF matches.
The name "Splash" hints at the waterside location of the festival and the phrase "to make a splash".

Wanting You
by: Mark SholtezYou took the clouds from my sky So I could see the sun It was so warm on my skin I couldn't feel your love Momentarily blind 't was hard to see why everything was
You took the waves from the sea So I could safely swim It was so peaceful and calm I dived right in But with the water in my eyes 't was hard to see why everything was
Sometimes love can get so big, you can't see the all of it But know that everything you do
You've got me wanting you Got me wanting you Can't live without your love That's all that I want You're always on my mind Like a constant haunting Girl you've got me wanting You
You took away the brightest star To give me a place to shine I was inspired of course To light your sky Momentarily high 't was hard to see why everything was
Sometimes love can burn so bright that I can't help but close my eyes But know that everything you do
You've got me wanting you Got me wanting you Can't live without your love That's all that I want You're always on my mind Like a constant haunting Girl you've got me wanting You
Sometimes love can get so big that you can't see the all of it Girl you've got me wanting you Sometimes love can burn so bright that I can't help but close my eyes But know that everything you do
