Although he's been active in Wolfsheim since 1987, his first commercial success was in 1991 releasing the single "The sparrows and the nightingales". In 1998 he had a big charts success doing a song with 80's star Joachim Witt, releasing the single "Die Flut". In the years following, his notability as a singer increased. Collaborating with the electronic music project Schiller, he reached charts positions in 2004 with the songs "Dream of you" and "Leben... I feel you". In the same year, he released the song "Wir sind wir" together with Paul van Dyk. Although the song was controversial because of its message (which could be interpreted as nationalist), the artists recorded another version together with the Filmorchester Babelsberg for the Day of German Unity on October 3rd, 2005 in Potsdam. A more recent project with Mila Mar and Kim Sanders from Culture Beat spawned the single "Aus Gold", intended to support Afghanian poorhouses together with the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz.
His most recent to date collaboration is with previous Wolfsheim producer, José Alvarez-Brill, on the song "Vielleicht", which is featured on Alvarez-Brill's CD Alvarez Presents Zeitmaschine Remixed (2005).
No Matter What It Takes
Peter Heppner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I feel for you
Something that you can't deny
Anything you can rely upon
Each time you're in the mood for any doubts
But there's no evidence for what I hold inside my heart
You need to understand this
Nothing suddenly appears
Neither love, nor your fears
You grow them inside you
Something for idle hands to do
And you want to be sure before you can admit
But I never make a promise that I cannot keep
I won't be afraid
I'll stand with you
And I will understand you
I'll bend but won`t break
There'll be no fear
And I will understand you
No matter what it takes
No matter what you say
And even if it breaks my heart
The lyrics of Peter Heppner's song "No Matter What It Takes" express a deep commitment and enduring devotion towards someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. The singer wishes to prove his love for the person by providing something that they cannot deny or doubt. However, this is challenging because there is no tangible evidence for the strong feelings that the singer holds inside his heart. Despite this, he is willing to do whatever it takes for the other person to understand the depth of his love.
The lyrics go on to suggest that love and fear are not things that suddenly appear in life. Instead, they are gradually grown within a person's heart and mind. The singer acknowledges that there may be doubts and uncertainty in the other person's mind, but he never makes a promise that he cannot keep. He is not afraid of standing by the other person through thick and thin and promises to understand them in all situations.
Overall, the lyrics of this song express the lengths that the singer is willing to go to prove his love for someone. He understands that love is not something that can be easily proven or demonstrated, but he is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that the other person understands the depth of his emotions.

Man, I seriously don't understand how can someone dislike this...
Rubber Mannequin
there are people who just go around downvoting EVERYTHING for the hell of it - they don't even care one way or another about any of the videos. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

some people go around downvoting every video they see without even watching it. They don't care one way or another about the content, they're just smashing windows with rocks.
