In Europe, they are known for a series of melodic pop rock/soft rock anthems such as "Ohne Dich (schlaf' ich heut' Nacht nicht ein)", "Tausendmal Du", and "Herzschlag ist der Takt". Many of those singles were emotional love songs released in the 80s. They are best known in the English-speaking world for the single (in English) "Keeping The Dream Alive". This song became a Top 15 hit in the United Kingdom when released, making Münchener Freiheit (or Freiheit) a 'one hit wonder' there. In the United States, the song failed to chart when originally released.
Yet it gained favor with the American public after it was featured in the soundtrack for the popular drama film 'Say Anything'. The single has received additional exposure in the U.S. thanks to the singing talent contest 'American Idol' on the Fox television network. The song has been used in recent seasons as a backdrop to video montages featuring Idol contestants.
Münchener Freiheit was the entry for Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1993. They performed "Viel Zu Weit", which was composed by Stefan Zauner. They sang in position #3 and earned the final position of #18 out of #25, with 18 points earned. The events were held in the small city of Millstreet, Ireland in a small hall normally used for horse auctions. Over the years, the group has attracted fans new and old alike from their sound, which incorporates both schlager-style commercial pop and more arena rock styled influences.

Durch die Wand zu gehen
Die Geduld um zu warten
Mich zu verstehn
Deine Augen eröffnen den Blick? auf mein Glück
Woher kennst du das Leben
Aus meiner Sicht
Teilst meine Sorgen
Und beklagst dich nicht
Deine Augen eröffnen den Blick? auf mein Glück Ich will dich nie wieder verliern
Ich will dir vertraun und dafür alles riskiern
Zum Leben geboren zum Leben verdammt
Es geht nicht alleine komm gib mir die Hand? deine Hand Du bist schön wie ein Märchen und du weißt es nicht
Du betrittst einen Raum und erstrahlst im Licht
Deine Augen eröffnen den Blick? auf mein Glück Ich will dich nie wieder verliern
Ich will dir vertraun und dafür alles riskiern
Zum Leben geboren zum Leben verdammt
Es geht nicht alleine komm gib mir die Hand? deine Hand
