Personal life
Helene Fischer was born in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia (then the Soviet Union) as the second child to Peter and Maria Fischer. Her father worked as a physical education teacher and her mother as an engineer at a university. Her paternal grandparents were Volga Germans who had been deported to Siberia in 1941 by Joseph Stalin. In 1988, at the age of four, she emigrated with her parents and her six year older sister to Wöllstein, Rhineland-Palatine, West Germany.
After graduating from school, Helene Fischer attended the Frankfurt Stage & Musical School for three years, where she studied singing and acting. During this time, Helene performed on stage at the Staatstheater Darmstadt, as well as on the stage of the Volkstheater Frankfurt. Since May 2008 she has been dating Florian Silbereisen. In October 2011 Fischer was presented with her own wax figure in the Berlin Madame Tussauds museum.
Career
During her time at the Stage & Musical School, her mother secretly copied a demo CD with six of Fischer's songs and sent it to different recording studios to gauge the reaction of professionals.
Fischer's debut on stage took place on 14 May 2005, in a program of the TV channel ARD. It was a duet with the singer Florian Silbereisen. The two later became a couple.
She has won 17 "Echo" awards, the "Goldene Henne" award 7 times, 3 Bambi Awards, and the "Krone der Volksmusik" prize four times. All her albums and DVDs have achieved multiple gold and double platinum status. Her songs, with their stories of the everyday worries and woes of home-loving folks, are lyrically close to what could be called "country music" although musically quite different.
Her circle of fans extends beyond Germany into large part to Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, and Finland.
She released her first English album, "The English Ones", on 7 June 2010. The album was produced by Jean Frankfurter, a German producer, composer and arranger for 40 years. On singing in English, Fischer commented: "I have always dreamed of singing my songs in another language. English is the language of Country, the music that we call ’Schlager’. Language is a tool, but it is important that what you sing comes from the heart – and that is what this album is about."
In January 2013 she made her acting debut in an episode of the German TV series "Das Traumschiff".
On 4 October 2013 she released her album "Farbenspiel" in Germany, and confirmed a Tour in the year 2014. The album received platinum after 5 days in Germany, Denmark and Austria.
On 12 May 2017, she released her latest album Helene Fischer (2017). It sold over 300,000 copies in Germany in its first week of release, the biggest debut for a female in German history and the 2nd biggest overall. It is certified 5x Platinum in Germany.

Im Reigen Der Gefühle
Helene Fischer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mein bester Freund, mehr warst du nicht
Heut' Abend bist du da, ich spüre die Gefahr
Ich fühle irgendwie viel mehr für dich
Du hast mich nur berührt
Wie schon so oft einfach berührt
Mein Herz brennt lichterloh
Ich träume sowieso
Im Reigen der Gefühle weiß man nie
Ist alles Wahrheit oder Fantasie
Mit dir vor einem steilen Abgrund stehen
Will fliegen oder einfach untergehen
Und wenn du sagst, wir dürfen nichts riskieren
Dann lass mich diesen Wahnsinn hautnah spüren
Ich setz' mein Herz heut' voll auf Risiko
Was auch geschieht, du weißt, ich will es so
Vielleicht hat mich die Nacht
So nah bei dir verrückt gemacht
Und wenn es Liebe ist
Dann will ich nichts bereuen
Der Morgen wird uns das verzeihen
Im Reigen der Gefühle weiß man nie
Ist alles Wahrheit oder Fantasie
Mit dir vor einem steilen Abgrund stehen
Will fliegen oder einfach untergehen
Und wenn du sagst, wir dürfen nichts riskieren
Dann lass mich diesen Wahnsinn hautnah spüren
Ich setz' mein Herz heut' voll auf Risiko
Was auch geschieht, du weißt, ich will es so
Was auch geschieht, du weißt, ich will es so
The lyrics of "Im Reigen Der Gefühle" by Helene Fischer showcase a scenario of a friendship turned into romance. The singer says that until now, the person was only her friend, but today, she feels something more for him, which is dangerous. He has touched her before, but today, every touch feels like her heart is on fire, and she dreams of paradise. The lyrics continue with the singer questioning if what she's feeling is real or just a fantasy. She's standing at a steep cliff with her friend, and she wants to either fly or fall with him. She asks him not to stop her and let her feel this madness. She puts her heart on the risk and wants to experience this love that may come out of their friendship. The morning after may forgive them if they make a mistake. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that in the circle of emotions, one never knows which is true—whether to take the risk or not. However, whatever may happen, she wants it like this.
The lyrics of "Im Reigen Der Gefühle" describe the vulnerability and confusion one goes through when they are in love with their friend. The singer explores the dichotomy of how the risk of love may either make you fly or bring you down, emphasizing the importance of taking risks, even with someone you are just friends with. The song portrays a story that many people can relate to, as rarely does friendship not turn into love at some point. It speaks to the idea of living in the true sense of the word, without needing to hold back out of fears or concerns, because one can never know what life can offer in the end.
