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.

My Autumn's Done Come
Hooverphonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give everyone a penny that cries
You can throw all my tranquil pills away
Let my blood pressure go on it's way
Cause my autumn's done come
My autumn's done come
Done come
Let those "I don't care" days begin
I'm tired of holding my stomach in
No more slinky folk dollars for me
I'll take Sears & Roebuck dollars gladly
Cause my autumn's done come
My autumn's done come
Done come
Bring me water short and Scotch tall
A big long black cigar, and that ain't all
Hang me a hammock between two big trees
And leave me alone, damned! Let me do as I please
Cause my autumn's done come
My autumn's done come
Yeah, done come
The song "My Autumn's Done Come" by Hooverphonic is a melancholic yet liberating song about acceptance and letting go. The first verse talks about letting go of material possessions and worries about one's health. The line "Let my blood pressure go on its way" suggests that the singer is no longer concerned about taking medications, possibly because they have accepted that they are getting older.
The second verse conveys a sense of apathy and resignation. The line "I'm tired of holding my stomach in" implies that the singer is tired of pretending to be someone they are not, and they are ready to embrace their true self. The singer also mentions being happy to take "Sears & Roebuck dollars" instead of "slinky folk dollars," which could represent a desire for simplicity and a rejection of materialism.
The chorus, "Cause my autumn's done come," is a metaphor for the singer's acceptance of their current state in life. Just as autumn represents a season of change and letting go of the old, the singer has reached a point of acceptance and is ready to move forward, no longer concerned with the opinions of others or societal expectations.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of peaceful acceptance of one's self and one's place in the world. The singer has reached a point of understanding that life is not about accumulating material possessions or trying to fit in with societal norms, but rather about finding contentment in the simple things and embracing the natural ebb and flow of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Kiss all the pretty ones goodbye
Bid farewell to all the attractive people
Give everyone a penny that cries
Give a monetary token to those who are emotional
You can throw all my tranquil pills away
Dispose of my calming medication
Let my blood pressure go on it's way
Allow my blood pressure to remain unmonitored
Cause my autumn's done come
My old age has arrived
Let those "I don't care" days begin
Let the days of apathy commence
I'm tired of holding my stomach in
I do not wish to maintain a flat stomach anymore
No more slinky folk dollars for me
I no longer desire to be fashionable and trendy
I'll take Sears & Roebuck dollars gladly
I am content with inexpensive clothing from Sears & Roebuck
Bring me water short and Scotch tall
Bring me a small glass of water and a large glass of Scotch whiskey
A big long black cigar, and that ain't all
I also want a large, dark cigar
Hang me a hammock between two big trees
Place a hammock between two large trees for me
And leave me alone, damned! Let me do as I please
Do not disturb me and allow me to have my freedom
Cause my autumn's done come
My old age has arrived
My autumn's done come
My old age has arrived
Done come
Has arrived
