2 - TimTim are: Jerry (Austria), Timmy (Nigeria) & Claudia (Portugal).
TimTim employs a steady group of professional musicians from Venezuela, Africa, the USA, the Carribean & Europe, who back them in their quest to reach the multi- cultural world of music lovers a repertoir of colourful music, which speaks to and is understood by all humanity irrespective of colour or creed.
Jerry & Timmy, both singers & songwriters, founded the band in 1994 as a hobby project, without realising what dimensions their hobby music would take them to. Since then they have been an inseperable duo. Jerry, who also produces and organizes the bands´ schedules, provides the Soul and Ragga elements & Timmy, who grew up with roots reggae, injects the Afro roots.
TimTim´s search for the perfect female presence in the band has been blessed with the arrival of Claudia, who complements TimTim with her smooth soothing vocal talent and completes the trio. TimTim´s music has been nurtured by experimenting with improbable musical sounds & styles which can only be described as Reggae fusion.
At the begining TimTim toured and performed at national as well as International festivals and were constantly motivated by the positive feedback from the audiences. This made them think ahead and they decided to take their "fun project" a step further and search for ........A RECORD DEAL!!!...and it came to them through the good offices of EMI Records. The begining of their professional career.
All singles TimTim have released so far have climbed into the charts. The 1st sinlge Under the Sun was a top10 hit and stayed in the Austrian charts for 12 weeks. Further chart toppers from the same Album were Weep no Child & Ready 4 the Island. On it´s release the Album, also titled Under the Sun, went straight to #3 in the Album charts and stayed there for 15 weeks. Under the Mango Tree was #1 in the listeners charts, one of the most played singles on air & TimTim´s #1 chart summer hit of 1998.
Under the Mango Tree went Gold and was an "export hit" to Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Latin America, Arabia, Japan and other Asian countries. This made TimTim the most successful newcomer band of 1998 sales wise and on air.
Due to the public«s recognition of TimTim through their CD sales and airplay, the band was invited to play alongside established names such as Boys II Men, Ziggy Marley & Third World, among others, at the Sumfest (prev. know as Sunsplash), the World´s largest Reggae Festival, which took place in Montego Bay, Jamaica. It´s a high point in the career of TimTim which is treasured by the band not only due to the aknowledgement of the bands talent by the worlds media but also because the band has accomplished such a high profile of stage performing in such a short time.
After a "Musical Sabatical" in 1999, their first single SingAlongSong went straight to # 3 in the austrian pop charts,then #1 in other countries, and became - well, did anyone really expect something else? - the summer hit of the year 2000 !
The successful 2001 album No Culture, as well as the singles Man And Woman, Ska-ndal Inna Jungle and Jambo Jambo are just another perfect proof of TimTim´s astonishing capability of mixing up different styles with Reggae and creating their unique Caribbean vibe.
The Summer Album, released in 2003, is a "best of collection" of TimTim´s most successful hitsingles, including also rare material from early releases.
Iin 2007, TimTim released the Single Rum n Cocacola, a unique Andrews Sisters-Cover which became again a Summerhit in many holidayresorts such as Mallorca, Spain, Italy, the Carribean, the Pacific area and reached peak positions in many radiocharts in Germany.
In July 2009 TimTim just released their brandnew single „Here Come The Sunshine“ and they have a message to tell: "Always remember there´s sunhsine, happiness and joy of life .... spread it out to everyone !"
We Can Change The World
Tim Tim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryin\' to get out here, to find a better place
Some are trying hard, lotta times in vain
Few come out on top cause they can play the game
We all could have things irie and bright
If it\'s ever to happen one day we better do what\'s right
Shubidubidu, whatcha gonna do
Can\'t u see, that JahJah will love you
Just hear me when I say...
We can change the world in one day
(I really know that)
We can change the world don\'t delay
(If we really wanna)
We can change the world in one day
(I really know that)
We can change the world don\'t delay
(Get up everybody)
There\'s a girl around, no one knows her name
Got to nowhere to go, she\'s left out in the rain
Hundred little things keep messing up her life
All she\'s ever known is poverty and strife
We all should work for justice and right
Do hundred little things to give our world some light
Shubidubdu, whatcha gonna do
Life is for all, now here is a clue
Gotta try if we wanna be free
Inna one big family
What\'s going on, tell me who is to blame
Some have it all, others live in pain
More fortune, fun and fame
Better not lack in this crazy game
Better not lack... U know
Better not lack in this crazy game
In the first verse of Tim Tim's song "We Can Change the World" the lyrics highlight the struggle that many people face trying to find a better life, and the few who succeed because they know how to play the game. The song speaks to the desire for a brighter future and the need to do what is right to achieve it. The chorus makes a bold claim that the world can be changed in one day if we want it to, urging listeners to take action and not delay. The line "Can't u see, that JahJah will love you" references the belief in Rastafarianism that Jah (short for Jehovah) is the one true God, and that love and unity are central tenets of the faith.
The second verse of the song tells the story of a girl who is struggling and left out in the rain. The lyrics suggest that we should all work for justice and do little things to lighten up the world, calling for unity and working together as one big family. The final line of the song, "Better not lack in this crazy game" is a warning to listeners that in order to succeed, they cannot be lacking and must take responsibility for their actions and make the most of what they have.
