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.

The Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're keeping people at bay
The others dance, you sit and stare
It doesn't really have to stay that way
Take a chance and free yourself
Don't get left on the shelf
Hey girl on the dance floor
You're looking good, but are you sure
You look to good by the light of day
Take a chance and free yourself
Don't get left on the shelf
Love system, love system all have the chance
Love system, love system get up and dance
Love system, love system everyone's there
Love system, love system let down your hair
Love system, love system
Hey mother it can't be true
You're just not making sense
Now you're alone it won't help you
To sit alone on the garden fence
Take a chance and free yourself
Don't get left on the shelf
Love system, love system all have the chance
Love system, love system get up and dance
Love system, love system everyone's there
Love system, love system let down your hair
Love system, love system
Cause I know that there's a love system
It's a circus, it's a fate
If you're unhappy, trust the love system
Now is never too late
It's up you to change your way of life
Take a chance and free yourself
Don't get left on the shelf
Love system, love system

The Twins' "Love System" is an uptempo and catchy pop song with lyrics that encourage everyone to let loose and have fun. The song is a call to action for people who are holding back from enjoying life for some reason, whether they are too shy, too self-conscious, or too stuck in their ways. The lyrics address different types of people who might be holding themselves back, from the boy in the corner who is too cool to dance, to the girl on the dance floor who is too worried about her appearance, to the mother who is stuck in her routine. The message of the song is that everyone has the chance to be a part of the love system and enjoy life, if only they let themselves go and take a chance.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "love system" and encourages everyone to get up and dance, let down their hair, and join in the fun. The song evokes a party atmosphere, with a driving beat, electronic keyboards, and bright synths. The verses are more introspective, with the lyrics addressing each of the different characters in turn and urging them to break out of their own thoughts and insecurities. Overall, "Love System" is a fun and energetic song that reminds listeners to let go and enjoy life.
