In 2000, a mash-up was produced, taking the music of Fragma's Toca Me and placing the vocals from Coco's I Need A Miracle over the top and renamed Toca's Miracle which gained further attention from DJs Pete Tong and Judge Jules. As Fragma and Coco were on the same record label at the time (Positiva), an official release was made, and went straight to number 1 in the UK charts, as well as in Australia and Ireland.
In 2001, an album was released; Toca, as well as two other singles; Everytime You Need Me (UK #3 hit), which featured vocals by Maria Rubia, and You Are Alive (UK #4 hit) with vocals by Damae.
2002 saw Dirk and Marco set up their own studio, called Evergreen-Terrace.
In 2002, Fragma were permanently operating with vocalist Damae, and have released a second album; Embrace, with hit singles such as Say That You're Here (UK #25 hit), Embrace Me, Man In The Moon and Time And Time Again.
Dirk and Marco are also currently working as a duo under their surname Duderstadt. So far two singles have been released under this name; Sunrise and Taking Over. A third single, Mahananda is expected to be released soon.
The latest release by Duderstadt is Smile, for which they worked with Anita Kelsey. Remixes were provided by the likes of Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Duende.
Take This Wold For Real
Fragma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every now and then I'm wrong
I should have let my feelings speak
'Cause every now and then they're strong
Maybe we falter from time to time
We often hide the way we feel
Surely we alter from time to time
We take this world for real
I am seeing you
Like a dream come true
We take this world for real
And a brand new day's
Just a thought away
We take this world for real
Life is close at hand
Make me understand
And tell me how you feel
I am seeing you
Like a dream come true
We take this world for real
Every now and then we cry
Every now and then we see
We could have let the years go by
'Cause every now and then we're free
Maybe we falter from time to time
We often hide the way we feel
Surely we alter from time to time
But we take this world for real
We take this world for real
I am seeing you
Like a dream come true
We take this world for real
And a brand new day's
Just a thought away
We take this world for real
Life is close at hand
Make me understand
And tell me how you feel
I am seeing you
Like a dream come true
We take this world for real
In "Take This World for Real" by Fragma, the lyrics speak to the universality of human experience. The song acknowledges that everyone has moments of weakness, moments of hidden feelings, and moments of freedom. The song charges us to embrace our feelings and to take the world for what it is - to see the joy in the world as something real.
The song's lyrics also highlight the importance of connection. The suggestion is that we are more than the sum of our parts - in the sense that there is an 'us' that is created when we connect with others. The romantic love story told in "Take This World for Real" speaks to this connection - the connection that unites two individuals to become one.
While the song's lyrics are universal, so is the uplifting melody. Musically, "Take This World for Real" is a dance hit that pairs an energetic chord progression with upbeat rhythm and melody. It is a song that invites the listener to celebrate life and reminds us that joy is something we can choose to see and experience.

Every now and then I'm weak
At times, I don't feel strong enough to face the world
Every now and then I'm wrong
Sometimes, I make mistakes and accept them
I should have let my feelings speak
I regret not expressing my emotions when I should have
'Cause every now and then they're strong
But when I do express myself, my feelings are powerful
Maybe we falter from time to time
Perhaps, we stumble in life occasionally
We often hide the way we feel
We frequently conceal our true sentiments from others
Surely we alter from time to time
No doubt, we undergo changes every so often
But we take this world for real
However, we face the world with realistic expectations
Every now and then we cry
At times, we shed tears due to our emotions
Every now and then we see
Occasionally, we realize important things about the world
We could have let the years go by
We could have ignored our emotions and let time pass
'Cause every now and then we're free
But embracing our emotions can also bring a sense of freedom
Life is close at hand
Life is within reach and available to us
Make me understand
Help me comprehend and empathize with your feelings
And tell me how you feel
Share your emotions with me in an honest way
I am seeing you
I am noticing you and paying attention
Like a dream come true
It feels like a wonderful dream to be in your presence
And a brand new day's just a thought away
A positive outlook on life is achievable with a small change in perspective
We take this world for real
We approach life with a realistic mindset
