The band was formed by Andreas Kubat and Sebastian Bohn (DJ Boon) in 1997.
Their debut album "Small Chamber Works" was released in 2001 on their own label "1St. Decade Records".
Later, Larry Lowe (Guitars) joined the band and brought some rock influences. Since then they sound similar to bands like The Faint, Fischerspooner and Death in Vegas, with both rock and electro influences.
In 2004, Northern Lite released their sequel album called "Reach the Sun".
In the same year, Larry left Northern Lite again and Sascha Littek took over his work.
One year later the band won the German Dance Award as "Best Indie/Electronic Artist" and they released their third album "Temper". The album "Unisex" followed in 2006.
At the German "Bundesvision Song Contest 2007" Northern Lite represented their home state Thuringia, performing the song Enemy with the group "Chapeau Claque".
Later the same year, Sascha Littek left the band, too. He was replaced with Valerian Herdam. A fifth album "Super Black" followed in 2008.
Their latest album, "Letters & Signs - Part One", was released on the 18th September, 2009, followed by Letters & Signs - Part Two in 2010.

Away From You
Northern Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I run a...
I run away from you
No givin' it time
Away from you
I can't take it any longer
Only then i'll be fine
Away from you
Even though you got me wrong
(Repeat)
The lyrics of Northern Lite's "Away From You" convey the message of distancing oneself from a toxic relationship or individual. The repetitive line "I run away from you" highlights the urgency and determination to break free from the negative influence of the other person. The singer emphasizes that they need to run away from this individual to find peace and happiness. Even though the other person may have misunderstood or mistreated them, the singer acknowledges that it's better to cut ties and move on for the sake of their own wellbeing.
The connotations of running away from someone also implies a sense of fear and distrust towards them, emphasizing the difficult decision to leave. The line "no givin' it time" suggests that the singer has had enough and can't afford to wait or try to make things work anymore. In a broader sense, the song's theme could represent the importance of prioritizing self-care and recognizing when it's time to sever ties with negative people or situations in our lives.
