It started in 2001 when a group of students of the Rock Academy in Tilburg decided to form a band. They received national attention when their lead singer Roger Peterson quit from the last group of 10 in the first Dutch finals of Idols. The untitled first album was released in 2003, preceded by the single Happy. Their second CD, Perfect, was released in 2004. The song Cruel Man was featured on the soundtrack of the Dutch movie De Dominee. The sophomore release earned the 3FM Award for Best Album in 2005. In the same year, they also performed at the Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf.

In 2006, they released their third album: Pyrrhic Victory. It was recorded with sound artist Gordon Groothedde (whose CV includes Absynth Minded, The Sheer, Vengeance, Spittball and others), who also worked with Intwine on their previous albums.

Intwine was forced to go through several line-up changes, of which the latest was Ferdinand van Duuren's departure.

In 2010 the band broke up.

Solo
Intwine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dream about the day I go back home, all so wanted
Memories so bittersweet, took for granted
Everything around me, all the warm emotions
Now I'm stuck here in the cold

Waiting for you to come around
Don't know how long I can have been pretending to hold on
Just stand outside with my hands of high

I know you notice, hope you hear me, please, don't pass me by

Even though it wasn't always fun,all surrounded
Picture perfect, who's got days? I was grounded
But lighted by the beauty, everyone outthrew me
Maybe never cared at all

Waiting for you to come around
Don't know how long I can have been pretending to hold on
Just stand outside with my hands of high
I know you notice, hope you hear me, please, don't pass me by

Sucker for love, out in the cold

Waiting for you to come around
Don't know how long I can have been pretending to hold on
Just stand outside with my hands of high
Hope you notice, hope you hear me, please, don't pass me by

Out in the cold, reachin' out high
Sucker for love, out in the cold
