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.

Face to Face
The Twins Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought it would be easy
To forget you
For after all it's been
Such a long time

And yet the memories of you
Still hurt me
They've been inscribed

With needles in my mind

I'm sure I could convince you
If only you would let us meet again

Face to face, heart to heart
Face to face, heart to heart

Think back
To when we were together
How long we thought
Our mutual love would last

How hard it was for us
To leave each other
Is all of that now
Buried in the past

I'm sure I could convince you
If only you would let us meet again

Face to face, heart to heart
Face to face, heart to heart
Face to face, heart to heart
Face to face, heart to heart

Face to face, heart to heart
Face to face, heart to heart

Face to face, heart to heart
Face to face, heart to heart

Line by Line Meaning

I thought it would be easy
At first, I believed I could move on quickly from you

To forget you
To erase your memory and the love I had for you

For after all it's been
After so much time has passed and our love has faded

Such a long time
A significant amount of time that should have helped me heal

And yet the memories of you
But the thoughts of you still linger in my mind

Still hurt me
They still bring me pain and sorrow

They've been inscribed
Your memories have been etched deeply within me

With needles in my mind
Like a permanent tattoo that won't fade away

I'm sure I could convince you
I believe I have a chance to make you understand my feelings

If only you would let us meet again
If you would just give me the opportunity to talk to you in person

Think back
Reflect on our past together
