In Europe, they are known for a series of melodic pop rock/soft rock anthems such as "Ohne Dich (schlaf' ich heut' Nacht nicht ein)", "Tausendmal Du", and "Herzschlag ist der Takt". Many of those singles were emotional love songs released in the 80s. They are best known in the English-speaking world for the single (in English) "Keeping The Dream Alive". This song became a Top 15 hit in the United Kingdom when released, making Münchener Freiheit (or Freiheit) a 'one hit wonder' there. In the United States, the song failed to chart when originally released.
Yet it gained favor with the American public after it was featured in the soundtrack for the popular drama film 'Say Anything'. The single has received additional exposure in the U.S. 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 Idol contestants.
Münchener Freiheit was the entry for Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1993. They performed "Viel Zu Weit", which was composed by Stefan Zauner. They sang in position #3 and earned the final position of #18 out of #25, with 18 points earned. The events were held in the small city of Millstreet, Ireland in a small hall normally used for horse auctions. Over the years, the group has attracted fans new and old alike from their sound, which incorporates both schlager-style commercial pop and more arena rock styled influences.

Münchener Freiheit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel you make me lose my mind
Maybe here, maybe now or never
Dreams come true
Burning with desire
I just wanna leave it all behind
Let us drown in the heat of the night
Me and you
There's love, we don't have to hide now
With love everything's all right now
I know and always knew
Baby, it's you
Baby, it's you
It's me and you, only you
Baby, it's you
Baby, it's you
It's me and you, only you
Eyes are telling secrets
There's a fever I could never hide
Maybe here, maybe now or never
Dreams come true
Ooh, why don't we surrender
To the feeling that we have inside?
Let us drown in the flow of the tide
Me and you
There's love, we don't have to hide now
With love everything's all right now

Baby, it's you
Baby, it's you
It's me and you, baby, it's you
It's me and you, only you
Baby, it's you
