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.

Pietre În Alb
Luna Amara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ultimul meu mal cand nu mai simt
Si luna-n ape negre ar tacea
Sa ma sting
Dus de valuri verzi in larg de mari
Singur cum eram cand am venit.
Am sa trec
Ca si cum pe albe foi inchizi un cerc
Pot sa iert
Sau pot sa mint ca pot sa iert cumva
Cand tot ce-a fost al meu va fi al altcuiva.
Toate pietrele albe
Aduna uitare
Si tot ce e viu se stinge si moare
Neagra uitare acopera urma
Esti sange si lut viata ta-i una.
Ai putea
Sa te minti ca voi fi tot aici cumva
Dar stim atat de bine sa uitam.
Daca vrei
Doua pietre-n alb s-arunci nu sa le iei
In gandul tau sa nu mai fiu nimic.
Toate pietrele albe
Aduna uitare
Si tot ce e viu se stinge si moare
Neagra uitare acopera urma
Esti sange si lut viata ta-i una.
The lyrics of Luna amară's Pietre În Alb are quite deep and poetic, touching on themes of life, death, forgetting, and moving on. The song appears to be about the singer's acceptance of his own mortality and his desire to be forgotten after he dies. He talks about wanting to "light up" his last pebble (ultimul meu mal) when he no longer feels anything, and for the black moon in the dark waters to be silent, as he dies. He feels like he is facing the vast, unknown ocean all by himself, just as he was when he was born.
As the song progresses, he talks about how all the white stones gather forgetting, and everything that is alive fades and dies, and how the black forgetting covers the trace. He understands that his life is one of blood and clay, and he has the power to forgive or lie about the ability to forgive when everything he had will belong to someone else. He suggests that we are all capable of lying to ourselves and each other, but it is human nature to forget and move on, and everything that is alive will eventually die.

Vreau s-aprind
I want to ignite
Ultimul meu mal cand nu mai simt
My last shore when I no longer feel
Si luna-n ape negre ar tacea
And the moon would be silent in black waters
Sa ma sting
To suffocate me
Dus de valuri verzi in larg de mari
Taken by green waves in the open sea
Singur cum eram cand am venit.
Alone as I was when I came
Am sa trec
I will pass
Ca si cum pe albe foi inchizi un cerc
As if you close a circle on white sheets
Si mana ta deprinde alt contur
And your hand takes a new shape
Pot sa iert
I can forgive
Sau pot sa mint ca pot sa iert cumva
Or I can lie that I can forgive somehow
Cand tot ce-a fost al meu va fi al altcuiva.
When everything that was mine will belong to someone else.
Toate pietrele albe
All white stones
Aduna uitare
Gather oblivion
Si tot ce e viu se stinge si moare
And everything alive dies out
Neagra uitare acopera urma
Black oblivion covers the trace
Esti sange si lut viata ta-i una.
You are blood and clay, your life is one.
Ai putea
You could
Sa te minti ca voi fi tot aici cumva
Lie to yourself that I will still be here somehow
Dar stim atat de bine sa uitam.
But we know so well how to forget.
Daca vrei
If you want
Doua pietre-n alb s-arunci nu sa le iei
You would throw two white stones not to take them
In gandul tau sa nu mai fiu nimic.
In your mind, I am nothing more.

I want to light up
My last shore when I stop feeling
And the moon that shows up in darkened waters would be silent.
To fade away
Taken offshore afar by green sea waves
Alone, as I was when I first arrived
I will pass
As on whitened papers you close a circle
And your hand depends on another contour.
I can forgive
Or I can lie that I can forgive, somehow
That everything which was mine will someday be someone else’s
All the white stones
Gather forgetfulness
And everything that is alive, withers and dies
Black oblivion, cover the trace
You’re blood and clay, your life is only one.
You could
Feel that I will still be here somehow
But we both know so well how to forget.
If you wish,
Two white stones to throw, not hold
And in your mind I’ll be no more
All the white stones
Gather forgetfulness
And everything that is alive, withers and dies
Black oblivion, cover the trace
You’re blood and clay, your life is only one.

Ce voce curata are baiatul asta, Nick...de asta il ascultam in adolescenta, caci in rock, mai mult decat balade, se alimenteaza sentimente periculoase. Fata de 2002-2003-2004 cand eram prin adolescenta si ii ascultam, e inspaimantator ce suferinta e stransa acolo, prin ochii lui. Ce sa facem, se intampla multe prin viata...Oricum, frumoasa si curata voce.

Am aflat acum că bătrânul este chiar tatăul lui Mihnea. Uau. Ce fain! Videoclip-metaforă despre tată, despre trecerea timpului, asocierea dintre iarnă și moarte. Iar imaginile sunt superbe! Știu de LA din 2009 și de atunci îi ascult!

am auzit piesa pentru prima data live, si de atunci de fiecare data cand o ascult imi da aceeasi senzatie de piele de gaina
