The group had its biggest hit in 1992 with She Goes Nana. This song also went to number 1 in The Netherlands, a year after it was already a huge hit in Belgium. Some other hits the band had were I'm Into Folk, Walking the Thin Line, She's My Lover and Dreaming Wild.
In 1994, the band broke up, and the members went their own separate ways.
Teardrops
The Radios Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me feel I ain't seen nothing yet
Catch me now I'm falling,
Hear the angels calling,
Calling somewhere deep inside my head
Close encounters of a different kind
Open up the part that's hid inside
While words are left unspoken
leaving nothing but a worried mind
We could flow like teardrops on the ocean
We could flow like water to the sea
It may sound unclever
We'd last forever
If you want to stay with me
If you want to stay
Never now for sure what's comming up
Sad the echo-beat will never stop
You're the one and only
If you leave me lonely
You might as well let all the curtains drop
We could flow like teardrops on the ocean
We could flow like water to the sea
It may sound unclever
We'd last forever
If you want to stay with me
If you want to stay with me
Instrumental solo
We could flow like teardrops on the ocean
We could flow like water to the sea
It may sound unclever
We'd last forever
If you want to stay with me
If you'd just lay love on me
The Radios' song Teardrops is a melancholic love song, sung from the perspective of one who is hesitant about entering into a romantic relationship. The lyrics open with the singer feeling like they haven't quite grasped the full picture yet, as there are some things that their love interest has yet to say. This leaves them vulnerable and uncertain about what's to come. However, the singer is also captivated by the other person, and feels like they are falling head over heels for them. This is symbolized by the image of angels calling to them from somewhere deep inside their head.
The second verse explores the potential pitfalls of embarking on a new romance, with the lyric "Many hearts get broken / While words are left unspoken / leaving nothing but a worried mind." The singer's natural caution and hesitation are counterbalanced by the other person's allure, represented in the chorus by the image of flowing like teardrops on the ocean or water to the sea. It's a poetic way of saying that they could be in the relationship for the long haul if the other person is willing to stay with them. The bridge offers a warning that if the other person leaves them, it would be devastating, like pulling the curtains on a stage.
