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.

Just Imagine
Hungry Lucy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The troubled times in which we live
Do you believe that love is all we need?
Impossible superlative
Just imagine we are gone
We fade away, into the sun
No one here, no legacy
No me
Can you see what's inside your hands?
Something secret to feed
Give it memories of good and bad
To help you find what this life means
Just imagine we are gone
We cannot hide from anyone
All I want is legacy
To know him know you, know us
Know me
Just imagine we are gone
We fade away, into the sun
No one here, no legacy
No him, no you, no us
No me
In Hungry Lucy's song "Just Imagine," the lyrics convey a message of reflection on the uncertain and challenging times in which we live. The song is a poignant reminder to the listener that love and memories are among the most valuable commodities we possess. The lyrics explore the idea that, while we may not be able to control the world around us, we can control the experiences and memories we create for ourselves.
The singer addresses her sister, expressing her confusion about the current state of the world. She questions the belief that love is all we need to survive, acknowledging the impossibility of such an idealistic concept. However, the song's message is one of hope and encouragement, as it suggests that we should focus on making meaningful connections and treasuring our memories.
The repeated thematic refrain "Just imagine we are gone" is a reminder to appreciate the present moment and create a lasting legacy. The lyrics paint a picture of a world without the singer or the people she cares about, highlighting the importance of leaving a lasting impact. By emphasizing the significance of memories, the song suggests that we should aim to make a positive impression on those around us and strive to create cherished experiences that will last a lifetime.
