For years, Martin and Bobby Boer had been experimenting with music in a little bedroom. But then in 1990 things really started to happen for them, the single Can't Help Myself was picked up by Dutch radiostations and became an international hit.
After two singles the project was put on a halt. Martin moved into a new professional studio and started making remixes under the name Dancability Productions. He made remixes for acts like Becky Bell and Twenty 4 Seven. In the meanwhile Bobby was busy designing record-covers and CD-inlays.
In 1994 they decided to revive the 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor-project. Bobby joined Martin in his studio and after a while the two presented Never Alone. This single was the first to be launched with rapper D-Rock (real name is Renee Philips) and singer Des'Ray (real name is Desirée Claudette Manders). The song "Dreams", the title cut from their first album, was a major hit nationally and internationally inasmuch as it epitomized the essence of Euro-dance, which was popular when the song released in 1994.
The renewed style and concept were accepted well by the Dutch audience.
Two albums (Dreams (1994) and 2 (1996)) and nineteen singles have been released so far.
Never Alone
2 Brothers on the 4th Floor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Side by side we'll make things better
You're never alone
Dancin' together
Side by side through stormy weather
You're never alone...
Never alone (x8)
I'm always on course with the force off course
Here's an injection to all the people
Don't you stop movin' cause we're all equal
I'm the 3D2 and I'm here to help
Stop the violence and help yourself
To a better place for the human brace
Turn up the bass, time to rave
It's universal
Let's do it now, no time for rehearsal
Wave your hands for the master plan
And jam with the man here to slam
So throw your fist in the air and strive for peace
Happiness and unity
Can't you see we've got to make it better
Black and white together
It's time to wake up it's time to rise
Let freedom ring for you and I
We've got to take care of the world today
Hear what I say, no time to play
Save the ozone before it's gone like a storm
My word is born
Can't you see we've got to make it better
Black and white together
