1)THE TWINS STORY
In 1980, Sven Dohrow and Ronny Schreinzer decided to put a new band together, after they had played in various bands as a guitar-player and a drummer.
In the beginning they were inspired by bands like Tubeway Army, Gary Numan, OMD and Depeche Mode.
The name "TWINS" might sound a bit funny for english speaking fans because Sven and Ronny are definitely no twins (you guessed it, Einstein) and the name itself isn't very ingenious. The idea behind the name was to describe the way of working when they put their music together. In fact, there are no other persons involved during the process of making a TWINS record. Sven and Ronny are the composers, arrangers, musicians and producers and they are also responsible for mixing and mastering of the final product.
Their first single "The Desert Place" turned out to be a real dancefloor-smasher in Germany and the remixed long-version of this song entered the US-Billboard-Dance-Charts in 1981. The big European breakthrough came when they entered the Italian charts with their song "Face To Face" and it was one of the best-selling singles in Italy 1983.
After "Face To Face" they hit the Italian charts a few more times with songs like "Not the loving kind" and "Ballet Dancer". Due to the success in many European countries, some of the German radiostations started playing their songs and all of a sudden the TWINS had a chart-hit with "Ballet Dancer". During these days it was very unusual for a German dancefloor-band to have success in their own country. However, they next titles to hit the German charts were "Love System" and "Love in the Dark".
Due to their big success, Sven and Ronny had to put together a live-band because the fans wanted to see them on stage as well. The TWINS had the chance to prove that they were no "one-hit-wonder"
and according to their fans, their live-act was worth the money. They did many tours throughout Europe with their new five piece band, including a drummer who turned every show into an exciting event due to his powerful support for every TWINS song. A bit later the band set-up was changed again. The fact that Ronny had played drums for many years, enabled the TWINS to add more excitement to the bands live-shows by adding a few parts for two drummers.
By the end of 1987 after the TWINS had released their album "Hold on to your dreams" they were offered to do a tour in the Soviet Union which brought them to Moskow and Leningrad. During these 10 concerts the had the opportunity to play in front of a 120.000 people audience.
After the tour was finished Sven and Ronny decided to take a break and to produce some other artists in their own studios. In 1991 the TWINS had their "comeback" when they released a remix album of their greatest hits which was called "The ClassicsRemixed". The success of this CD was overwhelming and they thought that it's about time to put together a new album as well.
It took them nearly two years to finish this next album because they wanted to make the album as good as possible. The album was called "The Impossible Dream" and the song "Tonight" which was also featured on the album, made them hit the charts once again.
To complete their line of greatest hits CD's, they released the "12inch Classics"-CD in '94, which features many long-versions and mixes based on their greatest hits.
In recent years the TWINS played a few concerts in Germany with their new live-band.

All play highly idyosyncratic rock in a skeletal, surrealist way.

Between The Woman And You
The Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The chance to be alone and free
And yet still we both have to return
To the warm embrace of the other's arms
But this time I can't find my way to you
It used to be such on easy thing to do
I feel nothing but weariness
You look at me, I turn away
I just can't think of a word to say
How could I ever explain the plan
Of something I don't understand
I can feel a breeze behind me
The breath of a world that's spinning around
There's a storm that beats inside me
An earthquake that roars without making a sound
I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
Can't make up my mind to choose between the woman and you
You know that we both need
The chance to be alone and free
And if I don't make it back this time
You know I'll never return again
I can feel a breeze behind me
The breath of a world that's spinning around
There's a storm that beats inside me
An earthquake that roars withoat making a sound
I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
Can't make up my mind to choose between the woman and you
The Twins's song "Between The Woman And You" is a heartfelt ballad about a man who is struggling to choose between two different loves. In the first stanza, the singer acknowledges the need for both himself and his love interest to have the freedom to be alone, while also recognizing the importance of returning to their relationship. However, the singer is feeling exhausted from the effort it takes to maintain their happiness, and he is finding it increasingly difficult to connect with his partner.
The second stanza reveals the internal conflict that the singer is experiencing. He cannot decide between the two women in his life, and he finds it impossible to articulate his complicated feelings. The third stanza offers a glimpse into the emotional turmoil that the singer is experiencing, with lines such as "There's a storm that beats inside me" and "An earthquake that roars without making a sound." Finally, in the last stanza, the singer leaves the decision up in the air: if he doesn't make it back this time, he will never return again.
Overall, "Between The Woman And You" is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love and relationships. The Twins's emotive vocals and the plaintive instrumentation combine to create a powerful mood that perfectly captures the singer's struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
You know that we both need
We both understand the importance of having some time alone and being independent
The chance to be alone and free
The opportunity to be free from any constraints or responsibilities
And yet still we both have to return
Despite this, we still have to come back to each other
To the warm embrace of the other's arms
To feel the comfort and security of our relationship
But this time I can't find my way to you
I'm struggling to feel connected to you this time around
It used to be such on easy thing to do
Being together used to come naturally and effortlessly
I feel nothing but weariness
I feel exhausted and drained
From fighting for our happiness
Trying to keep our relationship strong and happy has taken a toll on me
You look at me, I turn away
I'm avoiding your gaze because I'm unsure how to express myself
I just can't think of a word to say
I'm struggling to find the right words to communicate my feelings
How could I ever explain the plan
How could I possibly explain something that I don't fully understand myself
Of something I don't understand
I don't fully comprehend our current situation or how to fix it
I can feel a breeze behind me
I sense a change or shift happening around me
The breath of a world that's spinning around
The world is constantly changing and moving forward
There's a storm that beats inside me
I'm feeling emotionally overwhelmed and unsettled
An earthquake that roars without making a sound
I'm experiencing intense internal turmoil without expressing it externally
I am standing here, balanced between the woman and you
I'm torn between two options and can't decide which to choose
Can't make up my mind to choose between the woman and you
I'm feeling stuck and uncertain about which path to take
And if I don't make it back this time
If I can't overcome this hesitation and distance between us
You know I'll never return again
Our relationship may be over for good

The Twins didn't get success they deserved. This is a great, though so sad for me, song.
