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.

Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sharing all my love with you
Oh, I know I can't live without you girl
I can't live without you
Take me away
Make my day
Every time I see your face
Oh, I know I can't live without your love
There's one life to live
And one heart to give
Tell me that you need
Body heat
Just turn out the lights
You and me
Dreams are free
Just a woman and a man, babe
You and me
Can't you see
That I'm doing what I can, babe
Babe, you and me
Ecstasy
And I never want to lose you
To the end of the world
Oh, I'll stay by your side
You and me
Oh, I feel
Like the moon was made for lonely
You and me
Oh it's real
You are the one and you're the only
You and me
Memories
All the love that's never ending
To the end of the world
Oh, I'll stay by your side
It's getting late
And I can't wait
The ocean beating in my heart
Oh, I know I can't live without you girl
I can't live without you
I call your name
Again and again
I lose my soul, my self-control
Oh, I know that I can't live without your love
That I can't live without you
There's one life to live
And one heart to give
Tell me that you need, body heat
Just turn out the lights
The lyrics to Modern Talking's song "You And Me" describe the deep and intense love that two people share for each other. The singer shares that he cannot live without his beloved and that he feels a passion and connection that is so strong that it fills him with delight. He dreams about a life spent with this woman and how they can overcome any obstacle together. He describes how their love is only for each other and that they will stay by each other's side till the end of time. The song captures the essence of what it means to be truly in love and how it can make one feel complete.
The song's chorus emphasizes the beauty of love, how it's a rare and precious gift that is shared between two people. The phrase "Dreams are free/Just a woman and a man, babe" implies that although dreams are often difficult to fulfill, they can still be cherished as long as the two lovers are together. The song also highlights the physical aspect of love, as the singer mentions the need for "Body heat" which can only be fulfilled by his beloved. The song finishes with a plea from the singer to his beloved to never leave him, to be always by his side, till the end of the world.
