Even at a very young age she was already performing. Her first big hit came in 1976, when she released her début song The Alternative Way together with Hans Vermeulen. The record reaches the 1st place in the charts and also her next songs will become a huge success.
Slowly her success descents and she changes record label in 1980. There she gets a fresh new group of people to guide her and there her third single Why Tell Me Why (1981) dominates position 1 in the charts for weeks and it became the best sold record of that year in The Netherlands. This is the true beginning of a booming music career.
In 1983 she performs for the first time with Lee Towers. The record sales diminish slightly in the next period, but in 1986 she records the chart breaker Run To Me with Lee Towers. This will also be her last Top 10 hit in The Netherlands. Still, her albums and concert tickets sell very well. By the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s she performs several times in the completely sold out Ahoy' (a huge concert hall in the city of Rotterdam).
In 2005 she's back in the spotlights by appearing as a team captain in the tv show Het Gevoel Van. In May 2006 she's on stage at the big musical event of Musicals in Ahoy'. Later she will appear as Grizabella in the Dutch version of the musical Cats. Of the five actresses who play this part, she gets to play in the première.
In 2008 she does a series of guest performances for the Luchtmachtkapel in the concert series Hollywood In Concert. She did this together with Lee Towers.
All Time High
Anita Meyer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one.
We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true.
We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time high.
The lyrics to Anita Meyer's song All Time High have a bittersweet and romantic feel to them. The song seems to be about a fleeting romance that has turned into something deeper. The singer did not intend to get involved with the person they are singing about, but it happened regardless. The irony of love is highlighted when the singer realizes that when they were not looking for love is when they found it. The fact that they are two of a kind and move as one only confirms the deep connection they share.
The chorus of the song is an uplifting tribute to the strength of their love. They are on an all-time high and believe that they can take on the world. They want to do more than just fall in love and are eager to start their journey together. The singer does not want to waste a single moment and is so deeply in love that they do not even want to sleep. They feel that they have said similar things before, but this time it is different. They realize that their heart was telling the truth, and they are willing to take a leap of faith with this person.
Overall, the song has a romantic and hopeful tone to it. It is a celebration of love and the feeling of being on top of the world when you find it unexpectedly.
