It was the single most successful pop group in Germany (by sales).

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.

FEELING LONELY DRIFTING THROUGH THE DAY

Love to love you
Люблю любить тебя

Feeling lonely drifting through the day
День за днем одиночество чувствуя,
Was so sad and then I walked away
Было грустно мне, и тогда оставил я
I felt the disillusion
Все разрушенные иллюзии,
Headless of confusion
И несбывшиеся мечты,
Baby!
Детка!

What you did and that you lied to me
Видел что ты делала, как ты лгала,
I'm old enough and not to blind to see
Довольно опытный и не слепой был я.
We walk through different doors now
Разными дорогами с тобой идем,
We sail on different shores, oh
К разным берегам плывем, о,
Baby!
Детка!

All I can say is that I love to love you
Могу сказать лишь, что я люблю любить тебя,
From the bottom of my broken lonely heart
Всей глубиной своего разбитого сердца.
All I can say is that I need to need you
Могу сказать лишь, что хочу в тебе нуждаться,
I feel down, feel high and then I fall apart
То грущу, то радуюсь после расставания.

Remember all the times we had
Вспоминаю то время, что было у нас,
Makes me feeling down and feeling sad
Грустно становится, и я грущу.
Need time to rediscover
Нужно время все осмыслить,
Can I still be your lover?
Смогу ли я вновь быть любим тобою?
Baby!
Детка!

I have the courage you will see it's true
Увидишь, мужество в себе найду,
Living my life I don't need you
И без тебя прожить смогу.
Even my heart is burning
Даже если сердце пылает,
Even it is yearning
Даже если тоска не отступает,
Baby!
Детка!

All I can say is that I love to love you
Могу сказать лишь, что я люблю любить тебя,
From the bottom of my broken lonely heart
Всей глубиной своего разбитого сердца.
All I can say is that I need to need you
Могу сказать лишь, что хочу в тебе нуждаться,
I feel down, feel high and then I fall apart
То грущу, то радуюсь после расставания.

We walk through different doors now
Разными дорогами с тобой идем,
We sail on different shores, o
К разным берегам плывем, о,
All I can say is that I love to love you
Могу сказать лишь, что я люблю любить тебя,
From the bottom of my broken lonely heart
Всей глубиной своего разбитого сердца.
All I can say is that I need to need you
Могу сказать лишь, что хочу в тебе нуждаться,
I feel down, feel high and then I fall apart
То грущу, то радуюсь после расставания.

All I can say is that I love to love you
Могу сказать лишь, что я люблю любить тебя,
From the bottom of my broken lonely heart
Всей глубиной своего разбитого сердца.
All I can say is that I need to need you
Могу сказать лишь, что хочу в тебе нуждаться,
I feel down, feel high and then I fall apart
То грущу, то радуюсь после расставания.

Thomasi Dietere úžasná písníčka Všechno co můžu říct je že miluji tě milovat z hloubi mého zlomeného osamělého srdce Všechno co můžu řícit je že potřebuji potřebovat tě cítím se dole cítím se nahoře a pak se rozpadám
