The foundations were placed by Alex Seiberl and Sandro D'Incau but couldn't find a lead singer for the band. After a long search for a lead singer, the band found Andrea in 2001. She became the lead vocalist and their debut album, "Atlantis", was released later in the same year.
"Atlantis" was very successful and Lunatica were booked for many concerts and festivals. Playing at Metaldayz festival (the biggest metal open air festival in Switzerland), Lunatica was elected "best newcomer band" and gained a lot of new fans.
For the second album, "Fables & Dreams", the band worked together with successful producer Sascha Paeth, known for productions of Rhapsody, Kamelot, Angra, After Forever, Edguy, and Heavens Gate. Sascha Paeth created the powerful production Lunatica desired. The songs were developed better and the band had more time to compose and arrange them.
"Fables & Dreams" was released on February 16, 2004 in Switzerland and climbed directly to place 13 of the Swiss Internet Charts. This continued to be a success over that year.
Lunatica released their third studio album, "The Edge Of Infinity", in August 2006.
Their fourth album "New Shores" was release on February 27, 2009.

Lunatica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tide is like the heartbeat of eternity
I feel warm and safe as I'm diving deeper
Into the heart of the ocean, I have no fear
[pre-chorus]
Beauty and wisdom are surrounding me here
Aren't we the ones who try to ignore?
[chorus]
Why I've never felt like this before?
Oh, I cannot say!
It is pulling me deeper
It feels like going home to my fathers
I feel like a child in this deep blue wilderness
♪ [solos]
What I used to be is not important
I feel that something has changed inside myself
I breathe easily inside this liquid life
A total synthesis, immortality
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
[bridge]
Forever free is what I could be if I stayed here
With no idea of human greed I would play my part
I escape from everything that I know
As I'm drifting within this flow
Let me go to where I belong!
Listen to the waves—they're singing our song
♪ [solos, until fade]
The lyrics of "Emocean" by Lunatica are a tribute to the beauty and mystery of the deep sea, as well as a reflection on the transformative power of water. The singer describes feeling drawn into the heart of the ocean, a place where she feels safe and free. She encounters "beauty and wisdom" there, and wonders why humans often ignore this world of wonder and darkness.
The pre-chorus invites the listener to question our own assumptions and biases about the natural world, and the chorus expresses the singer's sense of awe and wonder as she plunges "deeper" into the blue. The solos that follow are another reminder of how music can capture the ineffable, wordless emotions associated with natural beauty. In the final verse, the lyrics suggest that the singer has undergone a transformation, one in which she feels "Forever free" and immune to the "human greed" that plagues our world.
Overall, "Emocean" is a song about the power of nature to inspire, transform, and heal. The deeper we go into this natural world, the more we discover the secrets of our own hearts.

@Makanaille
Discovered Lunatica during the first lockdown in 2020. I am sad to see they are so underrated, their song are so powerful and special. I really love this one 💕✨
@ullanorakk252
Never understood why they would release this version with Olli. It just sound so much better. Never release a bonus track that sound better than the original.....
@Krolis5
Oliver Hartmann with his truly honeyed voice is able to make even a wonderful song even better. I don't know the second such Voice, I once came across him in the early At Vance and since then I have been following him as the same pipe from Hamelin.
If anyone has not heard, I dare to recommend: Echoes (Germany): Live From The Dark Side - A Tribute To Pink Floyd (2019).
@gabs_salem
One day I'll find someone to perform this song duo with me at a karaoke
