Their career started in The Netherlands where "There's A Beat Going On" suddenly hit the Top 10 and it was decided to give additional attention to "9 A.M." which subsequently became a modest success in the United Kingdom. They are best known for their song "I've Been Thinking About You", which hit #1 on the Hot 100 and the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in 1991 and for their close harmonies of vocalists Helms, Chandler and Chambers with Henshall handling all the instruments.

Their follow-up single "A Better Love" became a Hot 100 Top 20 hit, and they returned to #1 on the dance chart with "Come Back" (Hot 100 #62).

In 1995, Londonbeat entered the UK heats of the Eurovision Song Contest with "I'm Just Your Puppet on a ... (String)", however they were not selected to go to the main contest (losing out to rap group Love City Groove) and the single limped in at Number 55.

In 2003 Londonbeat re-grouped with a new line up and signed to German record label Coconut. An album called Back in the Hi-Life featured re-recordings of "A Better Love" and "I've Been Thinkin About You" amongst the new tracks.

Marc Goldschmitz left the band in 2004, now pushing his german-indie-pop-projekt "die Unerklärlichen".

Londonbeat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh bring it up

Bring it up, Bring it up
Bring it up, Bring it up

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I'm watching the sun say good morning
Chasing all the shadows away
I stand face to face with tomorrow
Troubles lost in yesterday
oh the night seemed to last forever
The darkest hour just before the dawn

You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine
You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine

Ooh ooh (ooh ooh) ooh ooh ooh ooh (wooh-oh)

I was lost in a lover's confusion
Waiting for this moment with you
You lifted the veil of illusion
Like only a woman can do

Ho-oh the night seemed to last forever
Today we walk with our feet upon the ground (upon the ground)

You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine
You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Bring, bring it up
Bring it up

Bring, bring it up
Bring it up

ooh ooh

Oh-oh the night seemed to last forever
The darkest hour just before the dawn
Oh the night seemed to last forever
Today we walk with our feet upon the ground

You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine
You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine

You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine
You bring on the sun, it's you making it shine
You light up the sky like this heart of mine

Bring it up, (Bring it up) bring it up (Bring it up)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Bring it up, (Bring it up) bring it up (Bring it up) (on and on and on and on..)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Bring it up, (Bring it up) bring it up (Bring it up)

We are present in the moment and grounded

This is REAL music! What's a better combination than the Dutch Metroploe Orchestra and Londonbeat? Jimmy Helms is just incredible. Imagine being able to sing like that live at 77 years old. And that backing chorus too, wow.
