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.

Hungry Lucy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After all it's yours
Don't let the world
Push you down
Into its' core
Please don't cry
What's done is done
You can only fix yourself
The other ones
Shine this light down on me forever
My open eyes are so alive
Break through these walls that leave me useless
All of my fears have gone away
The pain is over now
And the wounds are healed
They clipped your wings
But now you see
What's been revealed
Look to the sky
Draw down the moon
Fill your life with silver dreams
Spin a secret spell
You'll find it soon
The song, Shine by Hungry Lucy, is a message about self-empowerment and the beauty of overcoming obstacles. The first verse of the song urges the listener to acknowledge their inner power and fight for what is rightfully theirs. The "world" is depicted as a negative force that can push us into dark places, but the lyrics empower us to stand up to it, as it is ultimately our lives and our emotions. The second stanza is a soothing message of reassurance that everything will be okay, one can fix oneself and move beyond hurtful events. The chorus of the song is a plea to a higher power for guidance.
The second verse carries on the theme of breaking down emotional barriers and living a fuller life. The lyrics suggest a sense of awakening and renewed energy as the listener learns to face their fears and unleash their true potential. The line "they clipped your wings, but now you see what's been revealed" is poignant, as it conveys a sense of loss and pain but also a newfound appreciation for the experiences we go through in life. The bridge of the song brings a surreal dreamlike quality to the lyrics, as ancient symbols of magic like the moon and spells are invoked to foster hope and positivity. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the promise that you will find what you're looking for if you keep searching.

@jaquearashii & @sierrajinx9 Imo there are only 2 genres in music, good music and bad music. Everyone must decide for themselves what they think good or bad music is. I personally am not liking the way the music industry works right now; many artists do not deserve the title 'artist' imo because others are doing their work for them,all they have to do is perform on stage and playback. But luckily we all have a choice; so if you don't like certain music then don't listen to it. Simple as that.
