The band was founded in September 1999 under the name Tanagra Noise by Nick Fagadar (vocals, guitar) and Gheorghe Farcas (bass guitar). In 2000 they changed it to the current name, Luna Amara. The band has played on stage over 200 times in the past five years, throughout Romania. As a live act, this Romanian five-piece outfit has a style that combines modern heavy metal with alternative rock.
All the artists in the band want to dedicate their lives to promote and support a modern European society in Romania. Luna Amara is involved in ecological projects such as "Save Vama Veche" (protecting the endangered seahorses), "Save Rosia Montana" (protecting the wildlife and natural surroundings of a historical mining area from cyanide poisoning) and social awareness projects, such as the recent "Vote for Them" tour, organized to convince young adults to vote.
Considered a "cult band", Luna Amara is currently Romania's most successful group from the new wave of rock acts. The "Folclor" ("Folklore"), "Gri Dorian" ("Dorian Grey"), "Rosu aprins" ("Scarlet") and "Ego nr. 4" singles reached number one in airplay charts at local radio stations around the country.
In January 2006 they released the album "Loc lipsa" (Missing Place). The band performed a 40 dates tour all over Romania in clubs and open air locations as well as shows in Holland, Germany, Bulgaria and Turkey. For the 2nd time running, Luna Amara has been invited to play live at Sziget Festival in Budapest.

Luna Amara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De jos nu vreau să mă ridic
Stau închis în capul meu
E ce-am ales, e ce vreau eu
Am ales să nu mai cred
Nimic din ce mă lași să văd
Nimic din uniforma ta
Bătaia ta frustrarea ta
Se sparg acum de fața mea!...
În capul tău nu sunt decât
Un alt proces-verbal și-atât
Mă urmărești dar nu mă vezi
M-auzi vorbind dar nu poți să mă crezi
Nu cred nici eu ca arma ta
Îți dă vreun drept asupra mea
Și tot ce fac e ca să ai
Un alt motiv mai bun să dai
Un sens la tot nimicul tău
Ești doar un om mai slab, mai rău!...
The lyrics to Luna Amara's song "Albastru" convey a sense of disillusionment and defiance towards societal norms and authority figures. The singer declares that they will no longer do anything productive or try to rise from their current state of apathy. They choose to remain imprisoned within their own thoughts and opinions, rejecting the beliefs and symbols that others try to impose on them. The singer refuses to believe anything that they are shown or told, and rejects the authority of those who try to control or harm them. The song builds up to the climax where the singer confronts their oppressor, declaring that they are not just a mere object of their judgment or punishment and that they will not back down in the face of violence.
The lyrics of "Albastru" by Luna Amara reflect a theme of existential crisis and rebellion, which is amplified by the post-grunge and alternative rock genres of the music. The song was released in 2004 and became one of the band's signature tracks, as well as a cult classic in Romanian alternative circles. The song's title of "Albastru" (blue) has no direct correlation to the lyrics but is likely a reference to the color's symbolism of melancholy, introspection, and detachment. The lyrics are written in a simple and straightforward manner but offer a poignant critique of the power dynamics at play in society. The lyrics appeal to the listener's sense of individuality and encourage them to question the status quo and stand up against injustice.

De azi n-am să mai fac nimic
Today I have decided to do nothing
De jos nu vreau să mă ridic
I don't want to rise from down below
Stau închis în capul meu
I am closed inside my own head
E ce-am ales, e ce vreau eu
This is what I have chosen, this is what I want
Am ales să nu mai cred
I have chosen not to believe anymore
Nimic din ce mă lași să văd
Nothing that you allow me to see
Nimic din uniforma ta
Nothing from your uniform
Din pumnii tăi, din legea ta
From your punches, from your law
Bătaia ta frustrarea ta
Your beating, your frustration
Se sparg acum de fața mea!...
They are now shattered before me
În capul tău nu sunt decât
In your head I am nothing more than
Un alt proces-verbal și-atât
Just another report, nothing more
Mă urmărești dar nu mă vezi
You follow me but you don't really see me
M-auzi vorbind dar nu poți să mă crezi
You hear me speak but you can't believe me
Nu cred nici eu ca arma ta
I don't believe that your weapon
Îți dă vreun drept asupra mea
Gives you any right over me
Și tot ce fac e ca să ai
And all I do is to give you
Un alt motiv mai bun să dai
Another, better reason to give
Un sens la tot nimicul tău
A meaning to your nothingness
Ești doar un om mai slab, mai rău!...
You are just a weaker, worse human!...

De azi n-am sa mai fac nimic
De jos nu vreau sa ma ridic
Stau inchis in capul meu
E ce-am ales, e ce vreau eu
Am ales sa nu mai cred
Nimic din ce ma lasi sa vad
Nimic din uniforma ta
Din pumnii tai, din legea ta
Bataia ta, frustrarea ta
In capul tau nu sunt decat
Un alt proces-verbal si-atat
Ma urmaresti, dar nu ma vezi,
M-auzi, dar nu poti ma crezi
Nu cred nici eu ca arma ta
Iti da vreun drept asupra mea
Si tot ce fac e ca sa ai
Un alt motiv mai bun sa dai
Un sens la tot nimicul tau
Esti doar un om mai slab mai rau...
