His first album, called simply 'Reim', was released soon thereafter. Though a household name in much of Europe, he faced a tough situation in trying to follow-up such a major hit. By 1999, another nine albums had been released by the Polydor label. His album 'Zauberland' (English: 'Land of Magic') was also released as an international version in Canada under the title 'Wonderland'. In 2000, Matthias Reim released 'Wolkenreiter' (English: 'Rider of the Clouds'), his first of four CDs released on the EMI label. He unexpectedly made a return to massive success with 'Unendlich' in February 2013, a long-delayed album that ended up reaching number one.

Matthias Reim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Kraft, dieser starker Wille und der Mut zu bleiben, da wo das Herz auch wohnt.
Eine helfende Hand unter Freunden gereicht, die Zeit ist überreif, Gemeinsamkeit hilft überleben, home and alive Home, is where we belong to, home is deep in our hearts, to stay home, is all that we want to, home and hope for a brandnew start, home is deep in our hearts.
Sieh her, die Menschen auf den Feldern, Hand in hand geschaffen, so stolz auf diese Kraft.
Viel mehr, ein Sieg ganz ohne Waffen, gegen das Vergessen, hat Menschlichkeit geschafft.
Eine helfende Hand unter Freunden gereicht, die Zeit ist überreif...
Home...
Helping the startin' children, have a look into their eyes, there's so much that we can offer, and if we do, that's doin' right Home...
