Sobre el álbum
El álbum que en 1985 inició la discografía de Modern Talking, "The 1st Album", fue el Big Bang del Euro-disco, un trabajo que, sin grandes pretensiones, conquistó las listas de éxitos de toda Europa y definió el sonido de una década. Liderado por el productor y compositor Dieter Bohlen y con la sedosa voz de Thomas Anders, el dúo alemán creó una fórmula musical simple pero irresistiblemente efectiva.
El epicentro del disco es, por supuesto, el megaéxito "You're My Heart, You're My Soul". Esta canción, con su ritmo bailable, su melodía pegadiza y, sobre todo, sus icónicos coros en falsete, se convirtió en un himno instantáneo. El álbum se catapultó a la fama, estableciendo el sonido característico que la banda replicaría con enorme éxito.
El trabajo incluye otro gran éxito, "You Can Win If You Want", que sigue la misma estructura sonora. "The 1st Album" es una obra fundamental, no por su complejidad, sino por su impacto cultural. Es la piedra fundacional de un fenómeno y el manual de instrucciones del sonido que dominaría las radios europeas en los años 80.

Letra
You packed your things in a carpetbag Left and never looking back Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes Music wherever you go You don't fit in a smalltown world But I feel you're the girl for me Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes You're leaving town where nobody knows You can win if you want If you want it, you will win On your way you will see that life is more than fantasy Take my hand, follow me Oh, you've got a brand new friend for your life You can win if you want If you want it you will win Oh, come on, take a chance for a brand new wild romance Take my hand for the night And your feelings will be right, hold me tight Oh, darkness finds you on your own Endless highways keep on rolling on You're miles and miles from your home But you never want to phone your home A steady job and a nice young man Your parents had your future planned Rings on your finger, paint on your toes That's the way your story goes - There's Too Much Blue in Missing You5:30

Letra
Oh my heart is crying in the night for you Oh, my God, oh don't you feel like a fool You're fooling yourself with a millionaire You think it's love but he don't care And one of these days You're gonna be surprised Diamonds never made a lady, lover or a friend I know it Diamonds never made a lady, all your dreams will end I know it Your Californian nights Warm body held you tight Was just a dream But all the diamond lights Can't give you peaceful lives or sweet dreams Oh my God, you really think you have it made Your heart is won, with first class expenses paid You drink campaign, eat caviar A colour TV in the back of your car But one of these days You're gonna be surpised - Night Is Yours - The Night Is Mine4:22
