The next two years was a time of learning and experimenting finding both artists creating electronic music solo and with other projects. From 1999 - 2003 Johannes and Jürgen were members of the indietronic band Volksgarten (keyboards, sampler, beat programming). During 2002 and 2003, the artists performed some live acts together.
The end of 2004 saw the formation of Fern.
Fern is also an American rock band from Springfield Missouri.
Fern toured as a four-piece rock band from 1995-2003. During that time they released 3 albums. Recently they decided to regroup and do a show for the heck of it. The band has been discussing a new record in the works.
After several years of pursuing their own musical paths, Fern has recently reformed with its original lineup including Jason Gaylor (Vocals/Guitar), Jay Sandidge (Drums), Brian Pierson (Guitar), and Brian Snadon (Bass).

"Wasting Time"
Well I'm sitting here flipping
Through excuses for why I shouldn't call you
I just can't put my finger on however
Hard I try to slap away the halo around you
Still it lingers and abruptly without warning bitter memories appear
When I think on it for long enough
Of all the time we wasted on each other's love
It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow
What was once so fine, has been broken and burned
So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return
Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives
Blinded, 'til I understood that only the
Good love survives, only the good love survives
But you and I were wasting time
You and I were wasting time
All those wringing hands and cheap ideas we could reason as failures
But to run it through again would only serve to do nobody no good
So let the universe decide how we can
Loosen all the knots and tangled ways we came to
And resolve to never speak of it again - oh love if only we could
When I think on it for long enough
Of all the time we wasted on each other's love
It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow
What was once so fine, has been broken and burned
So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return
Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives
Blinded, 'til I understood that only the
Good love survives, only the good love survives
But you and I were wasting time
We were only wasting time
In Fern's song "Wasting Time," the artist reflects on a past relationship that has ended. The singer is hesitant to reach out to their former partner, despite the desire to do so. The memory of the past relationship lingers, and the singer acknowledges that they wasted time on it. Despite the pain and heartache caused by the break-up, the singer still believes in the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.
The song addresses themes of regret, the passing of time, and the struggle to move on from a past love. The lyrics suggest that while the relationship may have seemed fine in the past, it has since been broken and burned. The hope of tomorrow is contrasted with the darkness of the present, where the singer is waiting for the light to return. The lines "Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives" and "But you and I were wasting time" demonstrate that the singer has come to accept the inevitable end of the relationship, and recognizes that there is only so much they can do to salvage it.
Overall, "Wasting Time" offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and relationships, and the difficulty of moving on when things come to an end.

Well I'm sitting here flipping
I am aimlessly searching
Through excuses for why I shouldn't call you
I am going through reasons why I should not contact you
Every muscle, every fibre, every hair object to the very idea
Every part of me opposes this thought
I just can't put my finger on however
I cannot identify the reason
Hard I try to slap away the halo around you
As much as I want to forget about you, I can't help but see you in an idealized light
Still it lingers and abruptly without warning bitter memories appear
Despite my efforts, painful memories surface unexpectedly
When I think on it for long enough
As I ponder the past deeply
Of all the time we wasted on each other's love
I realize how much time we spent in a relationship that didn't work out
It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow
It's surprising that I still have hope despite feeling so lost
What was once so fine, has been broken and burned
Our relationship was once beautiful, but it's now destroyed
So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return
I'm waiting for things to get better
Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives
I couldn't see the truth until I experienced the pain; love only works if both parties are committed
Blinded, 'til I understood that only the
I was blinded until I realized that
Good love survives, only the good love survives
True love only exists when both partners are fully invested
But you and I were wasting time
But our relationship was unproductive
All those wringing hands and cheap ideas we could reason as failures
Our attempts to fix things were useless and ineffective
But to run it through again would only serve to do nobody no good
Trying again would be a waste of time
So let the universe decide how we can
I leave it to fate to determine how we should move forward
Loosen all the knots and tangled ways we came to
We need to let go of the past and move on in a positive way
And resolve to never speak of it again - oh love if only we could
We need to agree to leave the past behind and never mention it again
We were only wasting time
Our relationship was merely a waste of time
