After spending a year writing and recording, the Autumn of 2000 saw the release of Hungry Lucy's debut album, "Apparitions". The album garnered much attention across the US and Europe for its combination of pop song structures, trip hop grooves and Christa's haunting vocals & other-worldly lyrics. The attention to their debut CD lead to a licensing deal with Belgian label Alfa Matrix and subsequent European release of "Apparitions:Revisited" in Fall of 2001.
After spending Spring and early summer of 2002 performing live, Hungry Lucy completed their next full length album entitled "Glo". Glo captures all the elements that Hungry Lucy are known for while continuing to explore other genres such as jazz, blues and europop. Once again, the album received critical acclaim and glowing reviews worldwide and expanded Hungry Lucy's reach to a much wider audience.
In the Summer of 2003, Hungry Lucy embarked on a tour with Pittsburgh's ThouShaltNot across the Western and Midwest regions of the United States. This gave people a chance to hear, as well as see, what Hungry Lucy is all about. True to form, Hungry Lucy delivered stunning performances along with synchronized video accompanyment. Several one-off shows in late 2003 / early 2004 (including performances with Cruxshadows & Wolfsheim) followed.
In Spring of 2004, it was time to head back into the studio and capture the new material Hungry Lucy had compiled over the preceding months. The result, Hungry Lucy"s third full-length CD, "To Kill a King" was released in Nov. 2004 to critical acclaim from both fans and the media alike, debuting at #9 on the French Alternative Charts in January, 2005. In addition to college and club DJ exposure, "To Kill a King" has been featured on Public Radio programs such as PRI's "Echoes" and the X-Star Network's "Audiosyncracies". The album brilliantly displays Hungry Lucy"s passion for musical contrast and clever songwriting for which this duo is known.
Hungry Lucy released their fourth album, "Pulse of the Earth", in 2010.
In October 2013, Christa Belle and War-N separated, disbanding Hungry Lucy.

In the Circle
Hungry Lucy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A spark will land inside your heart
You will never be the same
As ashes tear your life apart
Tragedy can make us stronger
But cannot be undone
If you wish it, it will happen
It flickers in the circle
A dance of life for you
It's safer in the circle
Where visions remain true
So often people judge those
That they do not understand
The innocent are dying
At those judging hateful hands
If only we can show them
We do not wish them harm
Instead we like to live life
Inside each other's open arms
We sparkle in the circle
There's fire in our eyes
So much magic in the circle
We're in need of no disguise
Be with me in the circle
You're always welcome here
It's safer in the circle
But do not bring your fear
I'll meet you in the circle
Within your own good time
I'll be here in the circle
Forever with you interwined
The song "In the Circle" by Hungry Lucy talks about tragedy and how it can change someone's life forever. The first stanza describes how something as small as a spark can land in someone's heart and change them completely as ashes tear apart their life. The second stanza describes how tragedy can make someone stronger, but at the same time, it cannot be undone. The lyrics suggest that if someone wishes for something to happen, it will. However, fate isn't sealed for everyone.
The chorus talks about being in the circle, where there is a dance of life that is safer and where visions remain true. The circle represents acceptance and understanding, where people can be themselves without the fear of being judged. The lyrics suggest that we often judge those we do not understand, and the innocent are dying at hateful hands. If only people could see that there is no harm in living life inside each other's open arms.
The song concludes by inviting people to be part of the circle, where there is so much magic, and you need no disguises. Everyone is always welcome in the circle, but they must not bring their fear.
