In 1995, Christoph "Christ" von Freydorf (vocals) and Stefan "Fini" Finauer (drums), pupils of a convent school, founded the band together with Christoph's church choir friend Jamie "Citnoh" Richardson (bass guitar). They were joined by Stephan Karl "Moik" and Franz Wickenhäuser (both guitar). The band was founded in Hohenschäftlarn near Munich. The name Emil Bulls is derived from a children's movie.
In 1996, they recorded their first CD Red Dick’s Potatoe Garden themselves. The CD is in great demand today because of its small circulation. In 1997, they attended the Emergenza festival and finished third in the European competition. For this competition they hired DJ Paul Rzyttka (known as DJ Zamzoe) who afterwards became a permanent member of the band.
After a long tour, their album Monogamy was released by the indie record label Oh My Sweet Records. The record could only be purchased through the internet or during live shows. Monogamy was noticed by Island Records, which offered the band a recording deal. Some of the songs on Monogamy and a few new songs were recorded. The result was Angel Delivery Service, released in 2001. The album was already out of stock a few months later. A new edition was released including a cover version of A-Ha's "Take on Me". The songs "Smells Like Rock'n'Roll", "Leaving You with This" and "Take on Me" were released as singles.
In May 2002, Porcelain was released through Motor Music. "The Coolness of Being Wretched" and "This Day" were released as singles. Between June 2001 and August 2002, the band played 129 live shows including Rock am Ring. In August 2003, drummer Stefan Finauer left the band to go to university. He was replaced by Fabian Fab Füß. In 2003, the band played some shows in Canada and the United States.
On June 20, 2005, The Southern Comfort was released on Pirate Records. It was the last record with DJ Zamzoe.
In February 2007, the live and acoustic album The Life Acoustic was released. The album, which was recorded in Pullach in 2006, was followed by an acoustic tour.
The following album The Black Path was released on April 4, 2008, on Drakkar records. It is the hardest record of the band so far and was recorded in Hannover by Benny Richer (Caliban, Krypteria). The single "The Most Evil Spell" was offered as a free download.
In 2009, Chrissy Schneider left the band and was replaced by Andy Bock, who was the guitar player of From Constant Visions. On September 25, 2009, Phoenix was released. "Here Comes The Fire" was offered as a free download on their website. In September 2009, a music video of "When God Was Sleeping" was released.
The band's latest studio offering, Oceanic, was to be released on September 30, 2011.
WATER
Emil Bulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I hurt you so
I'm empty and cold
Black shone like gold that night
So I lost myself again
The lyrics to Emil Bulls's song 'Water' are emotional and intense. The first line, "I yes I love you," expresses the singer's love and affection for someone. However, the next line, "I know I hurt you so," conveys a sense of guilt and remorse. Despite their love for the other person, the singer acknowledges that they have caused them pain in the past.
The next line, "I'm empty and cold," hints towards a sense of loneliness and depression that the singer is feeling, possibly due to their actions that hurt their loved one. The phrase "black shone like gold that night" implies a sense of darkness that seems appealing, which the singer may have succumbed to. The last line, "So I lost myself again," shows how the singer is unable to break free from their past mistakes, leading them to continue down the same path of hurting their loved one and feeling empty and alone.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Water' paint a vivid picture of a narrative of guilt, regret, love, and loneliness. It is through the emotions of the singer that the listeners feel connected to the song.
Line by Line Meaning
I yes I I love you
I'm acknowledging my love for you emphatically.
I know I hurt you so
I'm aware of having caused you pain and regret it.
I'm empty and cold
I'm feeling emotionally vacant and unfeeling.
Black shone like gold that night
An ominous event occurred that was paradoxically glamorized.
So I lost myself again
I ended up coping unhealthily with the pain and stress.
