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 ↴
And I wasn't sure
How I'd find you
I saw a glow at your window
Right behind you
You were all alone
No TV, no telephone
When I found you
I gently wept beside you
I will hold your hand (tonight)
I will love you wrong (or right)
We don't have to live a lie
You woke to find me there
But you didn't care
When you saw me
You held my gaze so deep
With sorrow underneath
Do you know me?
You looked away
As I began to prey
You would want me
You try to move but I will prove
You will love me
i will hold your hand (so tight)
I will love you wrong (or right)
Please don't close your eyes
Tonight
The song "Voyeur" by Hungry Lucy captures the essence of a person's unhealthy obsession with someone they're infatuated with. The lyrics start with the singer expressing their uncertainty as they approach their subject's house, but they find them alone and decide to enter undetected. They then confess their feelings through their thoughts while watching their crush sleep. The singer wants to be close to their subject, hold their hand, and love them right or wrong. The singer then wakes up their subject, hoping they will give in to their love. The lyrics highlight the singer's manipulation and disregard for their crush's autonomy.
The lyrics establish a chilling and frightening atmosphere that reminds us of the downside of unrequited love. The chorus suggests that pretending to love someone for the sake of fulfilling your personal needs is no way to live. It is a warning that we should be careful with our actions and intentions towards others, and always respect their feelings and choices.

I walked to the door
I went to your house
And I wasn't sure
I was uncertain about finding you
How I'd find you
I didn't know how to reach you
I saw a glow at your window
I noticed light from your window
Right behind you
Standing behind you now
You were all alone
You were by yourself
No TV, no telephone
You didn't have access to any entertainment form
When I found you
After locating you
As you softly slept
While you were in a peaceful sleep
I gently wept beside you
I cried silently next to you
I will hold your hand (tonight)
I will comfort you tonight
I will love you wrong (or right)
I will love you in the way that I do
We don't have to live a lie
Our love doesn't have to be secretive
You woke to find me there
You woke up and found me by your side
But you didn't care
But you didn't mind my presence
When you saw me
After noticing me
You held my gaze so deep
You looked deep into my eyes
With sorrow underneath
But sadness was evident in yours
Do you know me?
Do you recognize me?
You looked away
You averted your eyes
As I began to prey
As I launched my plan to seduce you
You would want me
Eventually, you'll want to be with me
You try to move but I will prove
You might try to resist me but I will convince you otherwise
You will love me
You will eventually fall in love with me
I will hold your hand (so tight)
I will hold you tightly
I will love you wrong (or right)
I will love you despite the odds
Please don't close your eyes
Please don't reject me or our love
Tonight
This evening or today

I know music is supposed to carry meaning in the ear of the beholder (so to speak), but I feel like every song Hungry Lucy made has some sort of backstory to it.
This song makes me particularly curious about that.
