They are best known in the English-speaking world for their single "Keeping The Dream Alive". This song became a #14 hit single in the UK Singles Chart when released in 1988, making Münchener Freiheit a one-hit wonder there. "Keeping the Dream Alive" still receives a lot of airplay at Christmas time and can be found included on many Christmas compilation albums. In the United States the song failed to chart there when it was originally released, gaining favour with the American public only after it was featured in the soundtrack for the movie Say Anything.... The single has received additional exposure in the United States 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 contestants on the programme.
Everytime
Freiheit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm giving all my best
Pretending there's no passion
You seem to be impressed
Won't you tell me what to do
I'm so in love with you
Don't ever make me give you
I never wanna have to
Pretend and lie and fake
Baby tell me what to do
I'm so in love with you
Every time you need me I'll be here
Every time you leave me I'll be near
Every time you hold me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Every time you need me I'll be here
Every time you leave me I'll be near
Every time you hold me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Don't make me tell you stories
There's so much I could say
But words destroy the moment
And carry it away
Please tell me what to do
'Cause I'm in love with you
Your love is like an ocean
I'm drowning in your soul
I'm blinded by emotion
I'm gonna lose control
Baby tell me what to do
I'm so in love with you
Every time you need me I'll be here
Every time you leave me I'll be near
Every time you hold me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Every time
Freiheit's song "Everytime" is a love song that speaks to the lengths one would go for love. The lyrics express the singer's willingness to do anything for their lover, even if that means pretending to be without passion or lying to impress them. The singer is so in love and desires to be guided by their lover, to be told what to do because they are blinded by emotion, and will lose control at any moment. There's some vulnerability in the singer's request for guidance, and they are aware that words can destroy the moment, and they don't want to risk this with their lover.
The chorus creates a sense of a promise or a guarantee that the singer will always be there for their lover; the repetition of "Every time" cements the singer's vow to be there when their lover needs them or when their lover leaves. The metaphor of love being an ocean is used to describe how the singer feels overwhelmed by their lover's feelings, with the repetition of "I'm so in love with you" expressing how taken and swept away the singer is by their emotions.
The song's sentiment is one of giving oneself wholly to love, abandoning self-control and allowing oneself to be vulnerable to their lover. The plea for guidance and the unwavering promise of love and support creates a romantic atmosphere that will resonate with anyone who has felt the extreme vulnerability that comes with being in love.
