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.

Heaven In Your Smile
The Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grip my body tight
And hold me here
I want to escape
To break off these chains
Of doubt and fear
It's an emptiness
It's the feeling I get
I only exist
For the memory
That you were mine
A picture's engraved
Upon my minds eye
Of a forgotten time
It is distant now
It is meaningless
Without you
There is heaven in your smile
And a light is in your eyes
It's a secret you can't hide
There is heaven in your smile
Time passes by
And only confirms
Everything I feared
All of the things
That I once lived for
Have disappeared
It's a hollow world
It's a world without aim
Without you
You are lost to me now
And it's lonely here
Without you
There is heaven in your smile
And a light is in your eyes
It's a secret you can't hide
There is heaven in your smile
The lyrics of The Twins' "Heaven In Your Smile" express the emotions of being lost without the love of someone who was once an essential part of one's life. The first verse talks about feeling trapped in a state of unease, wanting to break free of the doubts and fears that grip the body. The emptiness that follows the loss of love is expressed in the second verse, where the memory of the loved one is the only reason for existence. The song describes living in a world without aim or purpose, where time passes only to confirm the pain of loss.
However, amidst the pain and emptiness, the song brings hope through the reminder of the loved one's smile. The chorus describes the heaven and light that can be seen in the smile and eyes of the loved one. It's a reminder that even though the person is lost, the joy and love they once brought still exist in the memories.
The song's emotional lyrics and melody, combined with its electronic and synthpop elements, create a melancholic yet captivating tone. It speaks to the power of love and the pain that comes with its loss.
Line by Line Meaning
Moments of dismay
Sadness and worry sometimes come over me
Grip my body tight
The intensity of these feelings is strong
And hold me here
These negative emotions prevent me from moving forward
I want to escape
I wish to break free from these emotions
To break off these chains
To release myself from the grip of negativity
Of doubt and fear
The specific negative emotions that are holding me down
It's an emptiness
The absence of something important in my life
It's the feeling I get
This feeling encompasses my whole being
Without you
The cause of this emptiness and negative emotion
I only exist
My life feels meaningless without you
For the memory
I hold onto the past of us being together
That you were mine
The past where you were mine is all i have left
A picture's engraved
The past is imprinted in my mind forever
Upon my minds eye
The memory is vivid like it's happening now
Of a forgotten time
The time when we were together now seems long gone
It is distant now
The past feels like a very long time ago
It is meaningless
The memory has no purpose now since you are gone
Without you
Everything feels empty and pointless
There is heaven in your smile
Your smile brings me so much joy
And a light is in your eyes
I see so much positivity in your eyes
It's a secret you can't hide
Your happiness cannot be faked
Time passes by
Days turn into months and I am still here
And only confirms
The more time goes by, the more I realize what I lost
Everything I feared
All the negative scenarios I imagined are coming true
That I once lived for
The things that used to matter to me do not anymore
Have disappeared
They are all gone and I am left with nothing
It's a hollow world
Everything feels meaningless and empty
It's a world without aim
There is no direction or purpose left
You are lost to me now
You have moved on and I am left behind
And it's lonely here
I feel so alone without you
There is heaven in your smile
Your smile used to light up my world
And a light is in your eyes
I could always see the happiness in your eyes
It's a secret you can't hide
You can't fake the happiness that your eyes show
There is heaven in your smile
I really miss the joy that you brought me
