The group was formed in 1988 by singer, songwriter, and keyboard player Jascha Richter (b. 1963) alongside drummer Kare Wanscher (b. 1969), guitarist and producer Mikkel Lentz (b. 1968), and Soren Madsen (b. 1967) in Aarhus, Denmark. The group now consists of three members, with the rest parting ways with Madsen. The group started as a little cafe band, but they soon won the annual talent contest in Aarhus in July 1988. MLTR signed with one of the judges, JP Andersen, as their new manager, and the group got a recording deal with Medley Records, who later became a part of EMI.
MLTR's eponymous first album hit the top 5 of the album charts in both Denmark and Norway, selling tens of thousands of copies over and over again. Since that international debut in September 1991, with 'Michael Learns To Rock' being a sensation, the group has sold more than 12 million legal albums, and it has been performing ever since. Their song catalog continues to be very popular as well, with many singles sold online. Since 'Michael Learns To Rock' came out, they have released 'Colours' (1993), 'Played on Pepper' (1995), 'Nothing to Lose' (1997), 'Michael Learns to Rock - Greatest Hits' (1999), 'Blue Night' (2000), 'Take Me to Your Heart' / 'Michael Learns to Rock' (2004), 'The Best Of Michael Learns To Rock – Live' (2007), and 'Eternity' (2008).
MLTR is one of the most popular bands in their homeland. Thanks to social media such as YouTube and Facebook, MLTR's fan-base continues to grow worldwide. They're unusual for a European group in that they have strong popularity both in Asia (particularly China and India) as well as several Anglo-American nations.

Michael Learns to Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're feeling better
Strolling into the night
Thereґs a place
In electrical weather
Shining the bluest of lights in sight
In digital voices
Everything is waiting there
If you tried
You couldn't avoid it
Cyber magic is in the air
Chorus:
Uhh
Look around
Phoney loveґs flying all around tonight
Just look around my friend
Face it Chase it
You are scratching in
The top of the surface
To find that special one
Rushing in
And checking it out
Nobody told you that she has gone
The big relief
When reality's biting
Step into the coolest club
This is a place for refugees
But nothing is ever flesh and blood
Chorus:
Uhh
Look around
Phoney loveґs flying all around tonight
Just look around my friend
Face it Chase it
And they say in a million songs
"Love will find a way"
But Iґm scared that they might be wrong today
Look Around...

Line by Line Meaning
When you're down
When you feel upset or disappointed
You're feeling better
You start feeling positive
Strolling into the night
Walking and exploring during the nighttime
There's a place
A location or space exists
In electrical weather
During a lightning storm, where the atmosphere is electrified
Shining the bluest of lights in sight
Radiating the brightest and blueish lights visible
Reaching out
Extending oneself towards something or someone
In digital voices
Through computer-generated sounds or electronic recordings
Everything is waiting there
All things are accessible and readily available
If you tried
Even if you attempted to avoid it
You couldn't avoid it
It is inevitable to miss the occurrence
Cyber magic is in the air
The exciting telecommunication era is bound to happen
Look around
Pay attention to your surroundings
Phoney love's flying all around tonight
Bad, counterfeit love is in the atmosphere
Just look around my friend
View everything, my comrade
Face it Chase it
Confront and pursue it with vigor
You are scratching in
You are digging below the surface
The top of the surface
Just above the surface
To find that special one
To find your true love
Rushing in
Hastily arriving
And checking it out
To verify and investigate
Nobody told you that she's gone
No one gave you a warning about her departure
The big relief
The massive improvement
When reality's biting
When the facts begin to hurt
Step into the coolest club
Enter the most fashionable place
This is a place for refugees
It is the destination for the people in need
But nothing is ever flesh and blood
But there isn't any true passion
And they say in a million songs
Numerous songs repeat the same idea
"Love will find a way"
"Love will discover a path"
But I'm scared that they might be wrong today
Yet, fearing that it may be untrue these days
Look Around...
Pay attention to everything.
