This line-up hasn't changed since 2000. The band’s name is German for “July”. They come from Gießen, Hesse.

When founded in the 1990s as Sunnyglade, they sang songs in English. After changing their name to Juli and beginning to sing German songs in 2002, they released their first single, Perfekte Welle on June 28, 2004. It reached #2 of the German Top 100 in November, and stayed in the charts for 6 months. Their first album, Es ist Juli was released in August 2004 and stayed in the German charts until July 2006, peaking at #2.

Along with bands such as Wir sind Helden and Silbermond they were one of the most successful German pop bands of the summer of 2004, which re-established songs with German lyrics in the German charts.

In late December 2004, Perfekte Welle (which means “Perfect Wave” in English) was banned from radio and TV stations after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The media were criticized for that measure because the song has no relation to catastrophes, but is a metaphorical description of a person taking the chance he/she has waited for. The stations expressed particular discomfort with the lines in the bridge: "Now it slowly comes to you, the water hits you in the face" and chorus: "This is the perfect wave, this is the perfect day/Let yourself be carried by it..."

In October 2006 a new CD was released, called “Ein Neuer Tag” (A New Day).

Ich verschwinde
Juli Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sie sagen dir, ich bins nicht wert,
Du verschwendest deine Zeit.
Sie sagen dir, du gibst zu viel
Und dass nichts übrig bleibt.
Sie sagen, erstens kommt es anders
Und zweitens als man denkt.
Ich schaue raus und weiß,
Wie oft man sich umsonst verschenkt.

Wenn ich anders könnte,
Würde ich mit dir fliegen,
Wenn ich anders könnte,
Würde ich dich lieben.

Und ich weiß, dass alles in dir schreit,
Weil gar nichts von mir bleibt.
Ich verschwinde.
Und ich weiß, dass alles in dir schreit,
Weil gar nichts von mir bleibt.
Ich verschwinde.

Du sagst, ich geb uns keine Chance
Und ich machs mir viel zu leicht.
Ich könnte kotzen, weil ich weiß,
Dass alle Zeit der Welt nicht reicht.
Du hättest mir noch viel zu geben,
Das was uns beide heilt.
Wir wären ewig, wären groß,
Bis auf die Kleinigkeit.

Wenn ich anders könnte,
Würde ich mit dir fliegen,
Wenn ich anders könnte,
Würde ich dich lieben.

Und ich weiß, dass alles in dir schreit,
Weil gar nichts von mir bleibt.
Ich verschwinde.
Und ich weiß, dass alles in dir schreit,
Weil gar nichts von mir bleibt.
Ich verschwinde.

Und ich weiß, dass alles in dir schreit,
Weil gar nichts von mir bleibt.
Ich verschwinde.
Und ich weiß, dass alles in dir schreit,
Weil gar nichts von mir bleibt.
Ich verschwinde.
Ich verschwinde.
Ich verschwinde.
Ich verschwinde.
