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.
Everytime
Münchener Freiheit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm giving all my best
Pretending there's no passion
You seem to be impressed
Won't you tell me what to do
I'm so in love with you
Don't ever make me give you
I never wanna have to
Pretend and lie and fake
Baby, tell me what to do
I'm so in love with you
Every time you need me I'll be here
Every time you leave me I'll be near
Every time you hold me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Every time you need me I'll be here
Every time you leave me I'll be near
Every time you hold me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Don't make me tell you stories
There's so much I could say
But words destroy the moment
And carry it away
Please tell me what to do
'Cause I'm in love with you
Your love is like an ocean
I'm drowning in your soul
I'm blinded by emotion
I'm gonna lose control
Baby, tell me what to do
I'm so in love with you
Every time you need me I'll be here
Every time you leave me I'll be near
Every time you hold me like you do
I'm so in love with you
Every time

The singer professes their deep love for the other person, but it seems that they are not completely sure of how their feelings are received by their partner. The singer is afraid of disappointing their loved one with a promise they might not be able to keep, and instead, they ask for guidance on how to proceed.
The chorus of the song repeats the same three lines, emphasizing the singer's devotion to their loved one and their willingness to be there whenever they are needed. The singer is ready to put in the effort to maintain their relationship, but they need clarity from their partner on how to do so.
The bridge of the song compares the intensity of the singer's feelings to an ocean that they are drowning in, making it clear that their love is overwhelming and all-consuming. The singer is afraid of losing control of their emotions because they are so deeply in love with their partner.

Because I have deep feelings for you
Your love is like an ocean
Your love is vast and all-encompassing
I'm drowning in your soul
I'm overwhelmed by your love
I'm blinded by emotion
I'm overcome with feelings
I'm gonna lose control
I might not be able to handle it
