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 ↴
Ascuns de neliniști — și departe de tine
O noapte în nori mă aruncă în noroi
E ura și greața și furia ce mă trag înapoi
[refren:]
Și doare, și doare, și doare să mă-ngrop între voi
Cenuși de Gri Dorian spălate de ploi
Sunt o lună amară ce se stinge încet
Cât de mult îmi doream să fac totul mai bine
N-ai crezut niciodată în lumea din mine
N-am nimic doar al meu — o lună amară
Beția și urletul surd — ce nu vor să moară
[refren, intermezzo, refren × 2]
The lyrics of Luna amară's song "Gri Dorian" speak of the desire for solitude and escape from the turmoil of life. The singer longs for a moment alone, away from the anxieties that come with relationships and the struggles of daily life. The imagery of being thrown into the mud by the night sky suggests a sense of overwhelming despair and hopelessness. The repeated phrase "și doare" emphasizes the pain and anguish that the singer is feeling.
The second verse speaks of regret and longing to have done things better, but the acknowledgement that there is nothing left but a bitter existence. The metaphor of a broken moon, fading away slowly, represents the singer's sense of deterioration and decay. The use of the color grey and the musical mode Dorian, known for its melancholic sound, add to the overall feeling of sadness and despair in the song.

Cât de mult îmi doresc doar o clipă cu mine
I long for a moment alone with myself
Ascuns de neliniști — și departe de tine
Away from anxieties - and far from you
O noapte în nori mă aruncă în noroi
A night in clouds throws me into mud
E ura și greața și furia ce mă trag înapoi
It's hate and disgust and anger that hold me back
[refren:]
Chorus:
Și doare, și doare, și doare să mă-ngrop între voi
And it hurts, it hurts, it hurts to bury myself among you
Cenuși de Gri Dorian spălate de ploi
Ashes of Grey Dorian washed by rains
Am oasele rupte în somn violet
I have broken bones in a violet dream
Sunt o lună amară ce se stinge încet
I am a bitter moon slowly dying
Cât de mult îmi doream să fac totul mai bine
How much I wanted to do everything better
N-ai crezut niciodată în lumea din mine
You never believed in my world
N-am nimic doar al meu — o lună amară
I have nothing of my own - just a bitter moon
Beția și urletul surd — ce nu vor să moară
Drunkenness and the deafening scream - that refuse to die
