Kumm's debut album "Moonsweat March" appeared in 2000 at Soft Records. It was well received, especially in the art-rock and prog-rock communities. With the second album, "Confuzz" (2002 - Soft Records), and new lead singer Dan Byron, the band definitely crossed the line into alternative rock territory. "Angels & Clowns"(2005) was the band's first release on the Italian label Cramps Records, and found the band experimenting with electronics and baritone sax. The album's release was followed by two Italian tours.
In 2005 Kumm attempted their first tour of Germany, and met their current manager Anja Strub, who went on to organize the band's next European tours. Later that year, singer Dan Byron left the band.
Kumm started rehearsing with singer Catalin Mocan ( formerly of Persona) and composed the material for their fourth album, which was released in 2006. "Different Parties", the band's most adventurous and daring album to date, mixed Mocan's soaring vocals with brutal guitar and saxophone riffs and lushly arranged strings and woodwinds. In 2007, Kumm celebrated their first ten years with a concert at the Bucharest National Opera House, amongst their former band mates and Romania's most interesting rock bands (Timpuri Noi, Luna Amara, ZOB, Travka, The Mood). As a friendly gesture, each one of them played one song by Kumm.
Kumm released on 30 October 2009 their fifth studio album, called "Far From Telescopes", which is considered by some critics as being their best album to date.
1000 de chipuri
Kumm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Și cred c-ai o mie de chipuri
La fel cu-acel pe care-l privesc
Zâmbesc, visez cu orbite solare
La fel cu-acel care-i altul mereu
Nu pot să ating
Cuvintele ce-ncet se sting
Mă înspăimânt
Suntem toți o apă și-un pământ
Pe tine te-aștept
Iar tu nici nu știi că trăiesc
La fel, fidel unui punct de răscruce
Ce-aduce cu visele noastre comune
Rămâne doar să vedem unde-o duce
Nu pot să ating
Cuvintele ce-ncet se sting
Nu pot fi altul decât sunt
Mă înspăimânt
Suntem toți o apă și-un pământ
The song "1000 de chipuri" by Kumm is about a person who is deeply in love with someone and believes that the person they love has a thousand different faces or personalities. The singer is constantly looking at their loved one and sees different emotions and characteristics in them. They smile and dream with closed eyes, knowing that the person they love is always changing and evolving. The singer feels helpless to touch the words that are slowly disappearing and can only be who they are. The singer expresses fear that they are all connected, and yet they are all different. Despite this fear, they are still waiting for their loved one, who doesn't even know they exist. The song ends with a note of hope, that even with the uncertainty of where their relationship will go, they will keep dreaming together.
The lyrics of this song are poignant and complex, capturing the depth of human emotions that many people can relate to. It speaks about the idea that people are not one-dimensional, and that everyone has different personalities and feelings. It also touches on the idea of love and how complicated and varied it can be. The song's metaphor of water and earth also emphasizes that even though people may feel different, they are all part of the same universe and are interconnected.

Spre tine mă-ndrept
I am heading towards you
Și cred c-ai o mie de chipuri
And I believe you have a thousand faces
La fel cu-acel pe care-l privesc
Just like the one I am looking at
Zâmbesc, visez cu orbite solare
I smile, I dream with solar orbits
La fel cu-acel care-i altul mereu
Just like the one who is always someone else
Nu pot să ating
I cannot touch
Cuvintele ce-ncet se sting
The words that slowly die out
Nu pot fi altul decât sunt
I cannot be anyone else but me
Mă înspăimânt
I am frightened
Suntem toți o apă și-un pământ
We are all water and earth
Pe tine te-aștept
I am waiting for you
Iar tu nici nu știi că trăiesc
And you don't even know that I am alive
La fel, fidel unui punct de răscruce
Just like, faithful to a crossroad
Ce-aduce cu visele noastre comune
That brings together our common dreams
Rămâne doar să vedem unde-o duce
We just have to see where it takes us

De acum 4 ani inteleg ca nimeni nu s-a obosit decat sa asculte intamplator piesa asta, nu? Sau de fapt suntem toti o apa si-un pamant si nu se mai asculta nici artistii pe ei insisi... :D
