"Nothing But You" is a single released by Paul van Dyk in association with the group – Nothing But You is a re-work of their 2002 single "Arctic". It also features the well known trance singer Jan Johnston, as well as Kym on vocals. The song was featured in the soundtracks of EA Games FIFA Football 2004 and the Cirrus remix in Need For Speed Underground 2. The song also appears in DJ Hero, mixed together with Sandy Rivera's "I Can't Stop (David Penn Remix)". It reached #14 in the UK Singles Chart and #6 in the US Hot Dance Club Play.
The vocals featured in this track are Norwegian. "Jeg har ingenting, men jeg har alt når jeg har deg" which translates to "I have nothing, but I have everything when I have you."
The music video for Nothing But You is filmed in the style of the Reflections album. It includes various images of the streets of Cape Town, South Africa and follows a girl who climbs to the top of her apartment to the roof as a boy does the same on the other side of the street, interspersed with shots of Paul van Dyk in his apartment suite doing various mundane activities, reflecting on himself whilst looking in the mirror, cleaning his hands, eating dinner and watching football on the TV with a glum look on his face. At various points in the video, Paul van Dyk looks up at the unnamed girl and thinks to himself, but in the end does nothing, whilst she connects with the boy on the opposite side. The girl and boy both climb down and they meet in the street where they inevitably kiss. The meaning behind this video probably reflects on the vocals of the song; while Paul van Dyk has all the money and flashy apartments, he is still unhappy at the thought of being alone, whilst the girl and boy are happy despite not having anything but each other.
