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 World 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 yars 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 Fragma's song "Take This World For Real," the singer acknowledges their occasional weakness and mistakes. The verses suggest that people often hide their emotions and fall short of their own expectations. However, the chorus brings an optimistic outlook on life as the singer sees their world and relationship as real and fulfilling. The repetition of "We take this world for real" affirms the importance of cherishing and appreciating life's moments, even if they're not perfect.
The lyrics suggest that even strong emotions can be suppressed, but it's important to let them out from time to time. The lines "Maybe we falter from time to time / We often hide the way we feel" imply that vulnerability can be terrifying, but it can also be cathartic. The following line "Surely we alter from time to time" confirms that people can change and grow with time. The repetition of the chorus is a reminder that living life with appreciation and emotion makes life real, even if it has its imperfections.
