The band achieved international recognition through the inclusion of the track 2Wicky (from A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular) on the soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1996 film Stealing Beauty (Io Ballo da Sola).
The original members of the group were vocalist Liesje Sadonius, keyboardist Frank Duchêne, bass guitarist and programmer Alex Callier, and guitarist Raymond Geerts. Sadonius left Hooverphonic on amicable terms shortly after the release of A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular and was replaced by Geike Arnaert in early 1998. Duchêne left the band after Blue Wonder Power Milk. Arnaert left the band in 2008 and was succeeded by Noémie Wolfs. On March 26, 2015 the band announced that that Noémie Wolfs would be leaving the band "in mutual agreement."
Hooverphonic released their fifth studio album No More Sweet Music in November 2005, featuring four singles: Wake Up, You Hurt Me, Dirty Lenses and We All Float. One year later they released a Best Of album called Singles 96-06. This was their last release under the Sony label.
Hooverphonic released their sixth studio album The President of the LSD Golf Club on 8th October 2007 in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium and Holland, which includes the single Expedition Impossible. European Release January 2008 (although available via mail-order). This was an independent release, recorded at the Willie Nelson studios in the USA.
On October 10, 2008 the management announced that Geike Arnaert would be leaving the band.
After Geike Arnaert and the band parted ways, it took them two years to find a worthy successor to Arnaert. In November 2010 Noémie Wolfs was announced as the new leading lady. A brand new album called The Night Before followed soon after. The new singer was introduced on Belgian television in State Broadcaster VRT's late night show "De Laatste Show" on Thursday November 4th. The title track of the album is their biggest singles' chart success to date. Also, the album soon equaled the success of A Magnificent Tree.
On March 26, 2015 it was announced that Noémie Wolfs would be leaving the band.
Hooverphonic released In Wonderland on March 18, 2016. This release features a number of vocalists including: Emilie Satt, Janie Price (AKA Bird), Felix Howard, Litlo Tinz, Christa Jérôme, and Tjeerd Bomhof.
They were supposed to represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam with their song "Release Me". The event was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hooverphonic was the only Eurovision entrant for 2020 who refused to take part in the "Love Shine a Light" performance, where entrants each contributed sections of the song, although a photograph of Luka Cruysberghs was included with the other participants making a hand heart at the end.
On 9th November 2020, Luka Cruysberghs left the band and, on the same day, Geike Arnaert announced her return. Also on the same day, they released a new version of Mad About You for the song's 20th anniversary.

Heartbroken
Hooverphonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you' would think I feel lonely
cry all night
lose my mind
I'm all alone and it feels like a blessing
well does that disappoint you
I put out all the stops
but I'm sorry I ain't heartbroken
I put out al the stops
To regret all the fights we had
but really I ain't heartbroken
Hey I feel great
I feel strong does it really seem so wrong
not to long
for you and the way you've been trying
to control me
well you know what
those days are over
Sometimes you should stop...
Hooverphonic's song Heartbroken is a powerful expression of liberation from a toxic relationship. The song reveals the conflicting emotions of a person who can finally breathe freely after being freed from the grip of a controlling and manipulative partner. The opening lines express a sense of loneliness and despair that one would expect after a breakup, but the singer points out that this is not the case for her anymore. She feels all alone, yet it's like a blessing. She challenges the expectations of her partner, wondering if they'll be disappointed that she's not wallowing in sadness anymore. These lines convey a sense of relief and empowerment, as the singer asserts that she is in control of her emotions and her life.
The next verse reinforces this theme of freedom and breaking free from the shackles of a dysfunctional relationship. The singer claims that she has tried to manufacture feelings of heartbreak and sadness, but she admits that she really isn't heartbroken. She puts out all the stops to miss what they had, but deep down, she feels great and strong. She acknowledges that her partner has been trying to control her, but those days are over. The song ends with the singer suggesting that sometimes it's good to stop trying so hard and let things go.
In summary, Heartbroken is a powerful anthem of rebellion against the expectations of a toxic relationship. The song expresses the conflicting emotions of a person who is no longer bound by the control of their partner, but instead feels liberated and blessed by their newfound freedom.

С тех пор, как ты оставил меня,
Ты думаешь, что мне одиноко,
Что я плачу ночами,
Схожу с ума.
Да, я одна, и это звучит как благословение.
Ну что, ты разочарован?
Я положила конец
Грусти и тоске по тому, что между нами было.
Прости, но моё сердце не разбито.
Я положила конец
Сожалениям обо всех наших ссорах.
Ну правда, я не убита горем.
Эй, я чувствую себя замечательно,
Я ощутила свою силу. Неужели это совсем неправильно -
Не тосковать
По тебе и твоими попыткам
Меня контролировать?
И знаешь, что?
Тем временам пришел конец!
Я положила конец
Грусти и тоске по тому, что между нами было.
Прости, но моё сердце не разбито.
Я положила конец
Сожалениям обо всех наших ссорах.
Ну правда, я не убита горем.
Я не убита горем
Я не убита горем
Я не убита горем
Я не убита горем
Я положила конец
Грусти и тоске по тому, что между нами было.
Прости, но моё сердце не разбито.
Я положила конец
Сожалениям обо всех наших ссорах.
Ну правда, я не убита горем.
Иногда нужно просто остановиться...
