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.

Deep Insight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your eyes I'm nothing but a lost cause
It hurts and I can't walk on
Astray inside everything that I hide
And I can't find my way back home
When it's time to count the costs
And I can't make my way back home
I don't know how to make it
But I'm not gonna waste this
It's a new day 'til the dawn
I don't know how to say this
But I'm not gonna fall for you
It's a new day 'til the dawn
On my own, I need to be brave now
In your eyes, heroes never die
Day by day, I'm living for tomorrow
Do you like to see me this way
When it's time to count the costs
I am so lost
When I can't make it go
The lyrics of Deep Insight's song "New Day" relay a message of hope and determination. The opening line, "It's a new day 'til the dawn," suggests that there is a fresh start waiting, regardless of the pain and confusion that the singer is experiencing. The second line, "In your eyes I'm nothing but a lost cause," indicates that the singer may be struggling with self-doubt or feeling judged by someone else. However, they do not let that discourage them. Despite feeling hurt and lost, they are determined to find their way and not give up on this new day.
The second half of the song focuses on the singer's personal growth and development. They acknowledge that they need to be brave and face their challenges alone, as they say "On my own, I need to be brave now." The repeated line about heroes never dying suggests that the singer is determined to become the hero of their own story and not rely on others to save them. They are living day by day, focused on the future and not allowing their struggles to define them.
Overall, "New Day" is a song about resilience and hope. It encourages listeners to not give up, even when things are difficult, and to take ownership of their own lives and become the hero of their own story.

It's a new day 'til the dawn
Every day is a new opportunity until it ends
In your eyes I'm nothing but a lost cause
You see me as a hopeless case
It hurts and I can't walk on
The pain is too much and I can't keep going
Astray inside everything that I hide
I am lost within myself and my secrets
And I can't find my way back home
I can't return to who I used to be
When it's time to count the costs
When I have to face the consequences
I am so lost
I feel like I'm wandering aimlessly
And I can't make my way back home
I can't seem to find my way back to where I belong
I don't know how to make it
I don't know how to succeed
But I'm not gonna waste this
But I won't give up
I don't know how to say this
I don't know how to express myself
But I'm not gonna fall for you
But I won't let myself be fooled
On my own, I need to be brave now
I have to face my challenges alone and with courage
In your eyes, heroes never die
To you, those who persevere are immortal
Day by day, I'm living for tomorrow
Every day is a step toward a better future
Do you like to see me this way
Do you enjoy watching me struggle? Please help me.
