Deep Insight was formed in early 2002 in Kokkola, Finland by childhood friends Jukka (vocals) and Johannes (guitar). They soon found Joachim (drums) and Kaj (bass), cousins to each other, to complete the band.
The first release, Julia ep, was a theme record focused around the life and death of Julia, a character created by Jukka and Johannes on their crazy road trip to Paris in the winter of 2001. It actually gained many good reviews, most of them praising the young band’s promising songwriting and Jukka’s exceptional voice. It also got the band’s name spread around the music industry.
In 2003 big things started to happen for Deep Insight. The band recorded their debut album Ivory Tower at Soundtrack Studios in Helsinki, Finland, and Kaj was replaced by Miska on bass. Miska instantly gave a whole new meaning to sayings “ripping the bass” and “man uses his instrument like he uses his women”. The album came out in May, and the band started their first ever European tour.
Timing was perfect; Deep Insight’s mix of American rock and emo with Scandinavian influences was received with great enthousiasm amongst the audience and critics. It was only back home in Finland where the response was more reserved. Deep Insight soon returned to Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Latvia for summer festivals, and in October, it was time for the third foreign tour, a 5-week European adventure.
The second album "Red Lights, White Lines" was recorded and mixed in June-July 2004 with producers Jens Bogren (Katatonia, Lambretta) and Jonas Olsson (Callisto), who also supervised the pre-production before letting the band enter one of Sweden’s finest studios, Fascination Street (ex-Kuling) in Örebro. Finally, the album was mastered by Thomas Eberger (Bo Kaspers Orkester, Nine, Raised Fist) at Cutting Room in Stockholm, Sweden. And the sound and songs turned out great. Some critics gave it a rating 10/10 some gave it a 3/5.
Joachim decided to move to pastures new after the recording sessions and in came Ville. The third album "One Minute Too Late" came out in 2006 and is stylistically more diverse, including e.g. Mexican influences (on Five Minute Murder). After a while Miska also decided to leave the band, and along came Jore to fill his place.
After a little break in July 2008 the band was back to the studio recording new album. And this time they spent more time on making it instead of the usual one month locked inside. The release of the album is due to next spring. However, first single Rock With My Band will hit the stores in Finland on the 18th of February and digitally released on the 2nd of February in iTunes.
Deep Insight is back on the road and the Eropean tour starts in the end of April 2009.

Beautiful to Me
Deep Insight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You need to know the ending of your favourite show
And that's how the day goes by
You like to listen to the stereo
Singing to the songs you and your friends all know
And that's how the day goes by
You're sweet enough to me
Ohooo
I would give you everything
If I could turn back time
I'd take away those bitter tears
You had to go
Wohooo
I heard they caught you on the second floor
You tried to scream but they cut your throat and you
Bled
And that's how the day goes by
They talk about you on the radio
But they don't know you the way I know
And that's how the day goes by
You're beautiful to me
You're sweet enough to me
Ohooo
I would give you everything
If I could turn back time
I'd take away those bitter tears
You had to go
Wohooo (4x)
The lyrics of Deep Insight's "Beautiful To Me" tell a story of a person's daily routine - setting a timer for a video, watching favorite shows, listening to the stereo and singing along to known songs. The song is detailing how this person's day passes by so quickly due to indulging in such activities. The chorus of the song is quite melancholic in contrast to the otherwise upbeat tune. It talks about how the person is beautiful and sweet to the singer and how they would give everything to that person if they could turn back time and erase the bitter tears from their eyes as they had to go through something traumatic. The bridge offers a glimpse into what could have happened to this person- the lyrics talk about how they were caught on the second floor, and someone cut their throat, and they bled.

Bled
The horror of another's death weighs heavily upon you.
