The band holds its roots in California, where Lifehouse's founding members first came together under the name Blyss in 1999. Blyss released a demo album entitled Diff's Lucky Day. Shortly after in 2000, the boys were signed onto a record deal with DreamWorks Records. Five of the twelve tracks from Diff's Lucky Day were re-recorded for No Name Face. This debut album went multi-platinum, standing behind the hit single Hanging by a Moment, which became the most played radio track of 2001. The song became the theme of the 2000 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT.
In 2002, the members of Lifehouse consisted of foreman Jason Wade, bassist Sergio Andrade, drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and Woolstenhulme's younger brother, Sean Woolstenhulme, on guitar. At this time, Lifehouse released their second album Stanley Climbfall. After a few years of touring, Sergio Andrade left the band on good terms in 2004. Sean Woolstenhulme soon followed, leaving the band to pursue personal projects.
With only Wade and Woolstenhulme remaining, Lifehouse picked up a third member, ex-AM Radio bassist/vocalist Bryce Soderberg in late 2004. The band also signed off with Geffen Records, releasing their third self-titled album in 2005. With their style of melodic rock maturing over the years, the album's feature single You and Me remained on the Billboard hot 100 chart for over 60 weeks.
Further developing their image as a band that has overcome stereotypes and endured change, the Lifehouse trio came back quickly, releasing their latest album Who We Are in June 2007. The new single First Time has since been released on radio and television.
It was announced on October 15, 2010 that the new album is called Smoke & Mirrors and would be released on December 8, 2009. However, on November 13 the band stated on its web page that Smoke & Mirrors would be released on February 2, 2010. The first single was "Halfway Gone", which was released on October 27. The Halfway Gone music video premiered on the VH1 Top 20 on VH1.com at the end of November. On December 22, Tommy2.net reported that the album had been pushed back once again, this time to February 23, 2010. The album was then delayed again, but was released on March 2, 2010. The album came in a standard, deluxe, and two-disc deluxe edition.
The album Smoke and Mirrors debuted at # 6 on the Billboard Top 200 chart with 54,203 sold. This marks the highest chart debut of their ten year career beating out first week chart position for their 2002 sophomore set “Stanley Climbfall” which debuted at # 7. On iTunes, Smoke and Mirrors was #1 on the Rock Album chart for one week. After Halfway gone, two more songs from this album were released: All In (June, 2010) and Falling In (January, 2011).
In the spring of 2010 Lifehouse toured with Daughtry and Cavo. They also did a short European tour in September, 2010. After the European tour, the US the Smoke and Mirrors tour took place (October, 2010 and November, 2010). June 11, 2011 Lifehouse stated that they are working on a new album and that they will get back in the studio in the fall. June 12 and June 13, 2011 the band played two shows in the UK. During these shows, they played a new song called 'Angeline.'

Lifehouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you you like to find me
And I treading your borders
We are into the deep
Life's journey in slow motion
Looking how days are upside down
In my hands feels just like a notion
Time is no illusion
Every hour I spent alone
Life's journey in slow motion
Looking how the days are upside down
In my hands feels just like a notion
Til you come back the tears ain't running now
Life's livin' in slow motion
Looking how the days are upside down
In my hands feels just like a notion
Til you come back the tears ain't running now
The lyrics to Lifehouse's song Slow Motion convey a longing for a deep connection and love with someone, who seems to exist only in the singer's imagination. The phrases "Love inside your head now, where you like to find me" and "treading your borders, we are into the deep" imply that the singer is imagining an idealized relationship in their mind. They long to find this person and feel a deep connection with them, but so far, it is only a fantasy.
The chorus speaks of life's journey in slow motion, indicating that time is passing slowly for the singer as they wait for the person they long for. They are feeling a sense of disorientation as they view the world as "upside down" and their situation feels like a "notion" or a dream. However, the singer believes that if the person they are pining for were to return, they would feel complete and their tears wouldn't be running.
Overall, the song Slow Motion conveys the longing that people feel when they are disconnected from someone they love. The feeling of disorientation and time passing slowly represent the intense emotions that are felt when a relationship is just out of reach.
