First formed at the end of 1984 (Anders was 21), they unexpectedly became immensely popular with their standalone disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", which was then followed by "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady". They released two albums a year from 1985 to 1987 while also promoting their singles on television all over Europe. After splitting up in 1987, the duo reunited in 1998, at first only testing the waters with new versions of hit singles and again reaching the top of the charts unexpectedly. Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to irreconcilable disagreements (they had never been friends in the first place). Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on the German edition of the TV show Pop Idol/American Idol.
Global sales of Modern Talking records were 120 million units, according to BMG in June 2003, and they have become the biggest-selling German music act in history, so far outselling even Frank Farian's projects Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Michael Cretu's Enigma, Sandra, the Scorpions, Snap! and Rammstein.
Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America and some African countries. In the United Kingdom they reached the top ten only once with the song "Brother Louie" (in 1986, #4 UK). They did not feel very good about promoting their singles there due to being marketed in England as a gay group like Erasure and Culture Club. Indeed, in the UK "Brother Louie" is regarded by those who remember it as nothing more than a novelty record by a one-hit wonder.
They were almost unknown in North America by mainstream standards, never appearing in the charts there, and due to lack of backing from a record company and lack of time did not go there to promote their music. Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed, synthesizer-based music which was out of vogue in the U.S. before Modern Talking even formed.
In 2006 Bohlen included a secret message in his song "Bizarre Bizarre" which was played backwards: "There will never be an end to Modern Talking". However, Bohlen said "he meant to say that the music of Modern Talking will live forever" [4]. Anders has kept the Modern Talking songs in his repertoire and produced songs in a similar vein for his solo records ("Independent Girl"). In 2006 he produced an album of Swing and Jazz versions of popular songs (including Modern Talking's first hit). Bohlen has written two autobiographical books, one of which also detailed Modern Talking's history from his perspective, and sold a million copies in Germany. The sequel was heavily criticised for his unfairness towards the people he worked with. As a result of that, he withdrew from the public for a year until 2006, when he said he regretted putting out the second book. Anders had not been the only one pressing charges against Bohlen and demanding that sections of the book be modified.
Heaven Will Know
Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I close my eyes, oh just to be with you
I'm a dreamer and you know
You're my woman and I'll never go
God put an angel here on earth
Who gave me more than all I'm worth
You're my angel in the night
In the darkness you're the light
Heaven will know, oh heaven will know
My love will grow baby
Heaven will know
That I need you so
I can't say, goodbye lady
Heaven will know
That I'll never let go
And I'm stay until my heart stand still
No matter what baby
Feel what you want
Heaven sent me an angel
Heaven sent me a star
And it's more, than a passing phase
And it's more, than a good night's day's
And it's more, than you'll ever know
And you'll never be alone
The lyrics of Modern Talking's "Heaven Will Know" describe the feeling of being down and feeling blue, but finding solace and hope in the presence of a loved one. The singer, who is a dreamer, sees the woman as his angel on earth, who gives him more than what he deserves. She is the light in his darkness, and he knows that his love for her will only grow stronger. Despite the fear of letting go or saying goodbye, the singer is determined to hold onto their love until his heart stands still. He believes that heaven sent him an angel and a star, and their love is more than just a passing phase or a temporary feeling – it's a constant source of comfort and support.
The song carries a powerful message of enduring love and devotion. The metaphor of an angel on earth suggests that the woman is a divine gift to the singer, who values her beyond measure. The repetition of the line "Heaven will know" reinforces the sacred and eternal nature of their love, and the singer's conviction that their love is meant to endure. Through these lyrics, Modern Talking creates a timeless tribute to love that is both passionate and deeply emotional.
