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.

Sweet Surrender
Helene Fischer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Direction in the darkness until I saw you
Every time I look and I see your light
I can't give up 'cause you're my life
Sweet surrender, now it's all that I can I feel
Sweet surrender, this time I know it's real
And like in a wonder my heart was born again
Cause that's what sweet surrender means
Gone are all my doubts, gone is yesterday
I no longer want to turn and walk away
Sometimes I was lost I didn't see the signs
But now I'm found because you're mine
Sweet surrender now it's all that I can I feel
Sweet surrender, this time I know it's real
And like a wonder my heart was born again
I'm not afraid to give you everything
Cause that's what sweet surrender means
I almost feel ashamed, my heart, my everything
My weaknesses are there to see
But I don't care at all, I'll show you how I fall
Cause I know that it has to be
Sweet surrender now it's all that I can I feel
Sweet surrender, this time I know it's real
And like a wonder my heart was born again
I 'm not afraid to give you everything
Cause that's what sweet surrender means
The lyrics of Helene Fischer's Sweet Surrender convey a theme of finding direction and meaning in life through a romantic relationship. The singer admits to feeling lost and directionless before meeting her partner, symbolized by being in darkness until seeing their light. The partner is seen as the source of the singer's newfound purpose, and their relationship is described as being transformative; the singer's doubts and fears are dispelled, and they are "born again" as a result of their connection.
"Sweet surrender" is used as a metaphor for the state of vulnerability and openness that the singer experiences with her partner. This surrender is characterized as both scary and rewarding; the singer admits to feeling ashamed of her weaknesses but is willing to reveal them to her partner anyway. She recognizes that this relationship requires her to give everything she has, but ultimately sees this as a positive thing.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of being lost and directionless before finding someone who gives life purpose and meaning. It shows the transformative power of a meaningful relationship, and the vulnerability required to fully engage with someone else.
Line by Line Meaning
Now I wondered where I was going to
Lost and unsure of my direction
Direction in the darkness until I saw you
Navigating the darkness of life until you brought light
Every time I look and I see your light
Your presence provides guidance
I can't give up 'cause you're my life
You are the foundation of my existence
Sweet surrender, now it's all that I can I feel
Fully accepting and giving into love
Sweet surrender, this time I know it's real
Knowing that this love is true and worth it
And like in a wonder my heart was born again
Feeling as if my heart has been rejuvenated
I'm not afraid to give you everything
Willing to share my all with you
Cause that's what sweet surrender means
Because true love requires letting go and vulnerability
Gone are all my doubts, gone is yesterday
Leaving behind insecurities and past experiences
I no longer want to turn and walk away
No longer afraid of commitment and giving up
Sometimes I was lost I didn't see the signs
At times, failing to recognize the right path
But now I'm found because you're mine
Now finding a sense of direction with you by my side
I almost feel ashamed, my heart, my everything
Feeling vulnerable and exposed
My weaknesses are there to see
Fearful that my flaws may be unacceptable
But I don't care at all, I'll show you how I fall
Willing to take the risk of being vulnerable
Cause I know that it has to be
Because my heart and soul are longing for you
Sweet surrender, this time I know it's real
Fully embracing and committing to love
And like a wonder my heart was born again
Experiencing the magic and wonder of love
I'm not afraid to give you everything
Willing to share my all with you
Cause that's what sweet surrender means
Because true love requires letting go and vulnerability
