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.

Journey
Hungry Lucy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be ready to fly
Above everything
Don't have to know why
Don't have to carry on
We all have wings
We're just afraid to spread them
Your heart tells you where to go
I'm afraid I'll fall
I'm not used to this freedom
Can make up my own mind
Happy is where I want to be
I'm up here so high
See what I was missing
DOn't want to go home
Who'll catch me when I crash down
I spread my wings
Got to fly
When I came home
I said goodbye
The song “Journey” by Hungry Lucy encourages its listeners to be courageous enough to soar above everything and to let their hearts lead them. The chorus emphasizes the necessity of being prepared to fly, embracing one’s wings, and not worrying about why. Often, people are only afraid to use their wings and spread them because of fear. The verse encourages stepping out of one’s comfort zone to explore new heights, even if falling is their only fear.
The songwriter admits to being afraid of change initially, especially the freedom to make her own choices, but gradually came to accept flying high. The lyrics suggest that when we step out of our boundaries and fly, we tend to see and experience things we may have missed before. The song is also about breaking free from limitations and realizing one's potential, following one's heart and intuition, and being happy with oneself.

Be ready to fly
Prepare yourself to soar and take risks
Above everything
Beyond all limitations and boundaries
Don't have to know why
You don't need a reason to follow your heart
Don't have to carry on
You don't have to keep pushing through if it's not what you truly want
We all have wings
We all have the potential to achieve great things
We're just afraid to spread them
But often our fears hold us back from reaching our full potential
Spirits are your guide
Your intuition and inner voice can guide you
Your heart tells you where to go
Listen to your emotions and desires to find your true path
I'm afraid I'll fall
Fear of failure can prevent you from taking risks
I'm not used to this freedom
Sometimes we don't realize the limitations we place on ourselves until we experience something new
Can make up my own mind
You have the power to make your own decisions and choices
Happy is where I want to be
The ultimate goal is to find happiness and fulfillment
I'm up here so high
When you take risks and chase your dreams, you can reach new heights
See what I was missing
Taking the leap can open up new perspectives and opportunities
Don't want to go home
When you've tasted the freedom of pursuing your dreams, it's hard to go back to the same old routine
Who'll catch me when I crash down
There's always a risk when you follow your heart, but the reward can be worth it
I spread my wings
Taking the leap and pursuing your dreams
Got to fly
Going after what you want with confidence and determination
When I came home
Returning to the familiar after taking a risk
I said goodbye
Leaving behind old limitations and embracing new possibilities
