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 ↴
She is like a, a helpless child, left alone in the dark
no place to run no place to hide, except the pain of the cut
She is waiting, just waiting for the moment to end it all
you are the one, your soul was left alone
sweet angel without love
why are the stars were fading from your sky
when you needed caring, there wasn't any time
rejected so many times no wonder she was shy
I felt so ashamed of my good part every time I saw her scars
she hated live and can't you blame her after all she had to take
you are the one, your soul was left alone
sweet angel without love
why are the stars were fading from you sky
when you needed caring, there wasn't any time
you are the one, your soul was left alone
sweet angel without love
why are the stars were fading from you sky
when you needed caring, there wasn't any time
The song "September" by Deep Insight explores the true pain and agony of an abused child who has been left alone to suffer in silence. The first snowflakes falling down from the sky symbolize the time of year in which the child's pain is amplified, and it seems as though there is no escape from the darkness. The lyrics attempt to paint a picture of a helpless child who has nowhere to run and no one to turn to, except the pain of the cut. The child is waiting for the moment to end it all, possibly out of desperation or a feeling of hopelessness.
The song conveys the message that the child felt unloved and rejected, as evidenced by the line "sweet angel without love." The stars are fading from the child's sky, which could represent the loss of hope or the absence of light in the child's life. The child has been molested, abused and tied to the chains of fear, which left her with deep emotional scars. The song explores the feelings of the singer who feels ashamed of his good part every time he sees the child's scars.
The song provides a somber and emotional depiction of the experience of child abuse and neglect, offering a glimpse into the pain and trauma suffered by millions of children worldwide.
