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.

La Vedere
Luna Amara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Și nu te mint mai mult decât mă mint pe mine
Și dacă azi m-am ascuns iar sub pat
A fost să vad dacă mă încap.
Și nu mă simt mai întreg sau mai fals decât tine
Și nu mă-ntreb dacă vezi ce-i în mine
Și dacă azi m-am ascuns cuminte-n sertar
N-am să mai fiu cum mă știu când iertam
Nimic de dat doar de uitat zi după zi... zi după zi...
Și nu ma simt decât puțin pierdut și strâmb
Cândva aici, cândva în gând
Și dacă azi ești aici sper că știi
Că tot ce e bun nu moare-ntr-o zi...
La vedere... sunt la vedere... la vedere... sunt la vedere...
N-am să mai fiu cum mă știu când iertam
Nimic de dat doar de uitat zi după zi... zi după zi...
The lyrics to Luna Amară's "La Vedere" reveal a sense of emotional vulnerability and self-reflection as the singer compares themselves with their significant other. The lyrics suggest a sense of equality between the two, with neither feeling more alive or dead than the other, nor lying to each other more than they lie to themselves. The singer mentions hiding underneath the bed and in a drawer in an attempt to see if they can still fit, hinting at a nostalgia for a simpler time when they were still together.
The chorus states that the singer will not be the same as before, when forgiveness was easy and not a day goes by without something to forget. Despite feeling lost and crooked, there is hope for the future as long as the good things in life continue to endure.
Overall, the song is about the process of moving on from a past relationship and coming to terms with the fact that things will never be the same again. The lyrics are introspective and demonstrate a search for inner strength and personal growth in the face of heartbreak.

Și nu mă simt nici mai mort sau mai viu decât tine
I don't feel any more dead or alive than you
Și nu te mint mai mult decât mă mint pe mine
I don't lie to you any more than I lie to myself
Și dacă azi m-am ascuns iar sub pat
And if today I hid under the bed again
A fost să vad dacă mă încap.
It was just to see if I fit
Și nu mă simt mai întreg sau mai fals decât tine
I don't feel any more whole or fake than you
Și nu mă-ntreb dacă vezi ce-i în mine
And I don't wonder if you see what's inside me
Și dacă azi m-am ascuns cuminte-n sertar
And if today I quietly hid in a drawer
A fost c-am vrut să mai stai, să mai stau.
It was because I wanted you to stay, for me to stay too.
N-am să mai fiu cum mă știu când iertam
I won't be the same as I was when I forgave
Nimic de dat doar de uitat zi după zi... zi după zi...
Nothing to give, just to forget day after day... day after day...
Și nu ma simt decât puțin pierdut și strâmb
I only feel a little lost and twisted
Cândva aici, cândva în gând
Once here, once in my mind
Și dacă azi ești aici sper că știi
And if you're here today, I hope you know
Că tot ce e bun nu moare-ntr-o zi...
That everything good doesn't die in just one day...
La vedere... sunt la vedere... la vedere... sunt la vedere...
In plain sight... I'm in plain sight... in plain sight... I'm in plain sight...
