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.

Love In The Dark
The Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By tidal waves of passion
Like a sailor drinking rum
Beyond the limits of his ration
I'm all at sea and
I'm lost like a vessel with no course
I can't see through the night
The ship sails on
And you are sleeping down below
Now you're in the hold
I'll never let you go
(I'll never let you go)
Love in the dark
In the middle of the ocean
Love in the dark
In the storm of our emotion
I don't need to know the time of day
Or night or our direction
Only one thing justifies itself
And that is our affection
We don't look out for the signs
That the current ebbs and flows
And we live in a nest
Made for love and not for crows
The ship sails on
And you are sleeping down below
Now you're in the hold
I'll never let you go
(I'll never let you go)
Love in the dark
In the middle of the ocean
Love in the dark
In the storm of our emotion
The Twins' song Love in the Dark is a romantic ballad that describes the overwhelming feeling of passion and love. The song's opening lyrics tell us that the singer was completely swept away by the tidal waves of passion when he found his love. He compares his feeling to that of a sailor drinking rum beyond the limit of his ration, implying that he is intoxicated by love. The second verse suggests that the singer is going through a rough patch in his relationship, and the turbulent forces of nature mirror the ups and downs of his relationship. The use of the metaphor of a ship sailing on in the storm of their emotion reinforces the idea that love is not always smooth sailing, and the couple may face turbulent times.
The chorus describes how the couple's love exists in the dark, away from the distractions of the outside world. They don't need to know the time of day or direction, but only their love justifies itself. The bridge of the song reinforces the idea of being in the moment and not worrying about what's ahead. They are living in a nest made for love and not for crows, implying that they are creating a loving environment that is not influenced by external forces.
Overall, Love in the Dark is a beautiful love song that captures the power and intensity of love. It showcases that the journey of love is not always smooth sailing, but the experience makes it worthwhile.
