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.
RAIN IN MY HEART
Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I have to die, oh baby I will
As long you stay, baby by my side
If I have to beg, if I have to steal
If I have to swim, through oceans, I will
As long you stay, baby by my side
I miss you forever, forever my love
My sweet baby?
Oh my lady, I can't live without you, oh no
Oh baby, why does it always rain in my heart
Tell me baby
Oh my lady, I'm lonely and I'm blue
If I have to climb, on the greatest hill
If I have to fall, oh baby I will
As long you stay, baby by my side
If I have to lose, everything just for you
If I have to fight, oh baby I'll do
As long you stay, baby by my side
I love you forever, forever my love
The lyrics of Modern Talking's song Rain In My Heart depict the depth of love and devotion that the singer has for their partner. The first verse portrays the extent to which the singer is willing to go in order to keep their loved one by their side, including crying, killing, and even dying. The second verse similarly emphasizes the lengths the singer is willing to go for their partner by depicting physical acts such as stealing, swimming oceans, climbing hills, and fighting.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's deep longing for their partner, as they question why it always feels like it's raining inside their heart when they are without them. The singer's desperation and loneliness are clear in the line "I can't live without you, oh no" as they express their deep love for their partner and their need for their presence in their life.
The overall theme of the song is the overwhelming power of love and the lengths that people are willing to go to keep their loved ones by their side. The lyrics are emotional and raw, expressing the intense passion and pain that can come with loving someone deeply.
