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.

Curious
Northern Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See myself as a man on the run
Denied my feelings too many times
Went further on though I've seen the signs
Curious in a weird way
Knowing deeply that I gotta pay
What I've been longing for is just not there
Watch me moving like I'm not afraid to die
But then on my own I cry
From the highest high down to the ground
Do I always have to loose what I just found?
It's time to stop that and to break out
Thought is in my head, never said it loud
I try and stumble, I did before
Soon you'll find me down on the floor
Curious in a weird way
Heading for my last day
Smelled your interest long ago
And those were the things that you should know
So take me with you, but if you fall
I wouldn't trust myself at all
From the highest high down to the ground
Do I always have to loose what I just found?
The song "Curious" by Northern Lite speaks of a man who looks at his life and sees himself as constantly on the run - denying his feelings, ignoring signs, and never being satisfied with anything that he has taken from anywhere. He moves through life with a curious, almost irrational, detachment and senses that he will eventually have to pay a price for it. He asks himself if he always has to lose something he has just found, implying that he has been unable to hold on to anything significant or meaningful in his life.
The man realizes that he needs to break out of his current way of living and take a chance on something different. He wants someone to take him with them on this journey, but he also acknowledges that he cannot fully trust himself, indicating that he has made many mistakes in the past. The chorus of the song speaks to his deep sense of curiosity about life and death, which motivates him to keep moving despite his fears.
Overall, the lyrics of "Curious" by Northern Lite suggest a complex and introspective individual who is struggling to find meaning and purpose in his life. He is haunted by the feeling that he is missing out on something important and is only able to move forward through his sense of curiosity and wonder.
Line by Line Meaning
I look at my life and all I've done
Reflecting on my past choices and actions
See myself as a man on the run
Feeling as though I'm constantly moving but never progressing
Denied my feelings too many times
Suppressing emotions instead of expressing them
Went further on though I've seen the signs
Ignoring warning signs and continuing down a path with negative outcomes
Curious in a weird way
Feeling a strange desire to explore the unknown
Knowing deeply that I gotta pay
Acknowledging that there will be consequences for my actions
Taken everything from anywhere
Obtaining things through questionable means
What I've been longing for is just not there
Not finding fulfillment in what I've been seeking
Watch me moving like I'm not afraid to die
Engaging in risky behavior and not caring about potential consequences
But then on my own I cry
Realizing the emptiness of my actions and feeling regret
From the highest high down to the ground
Experiencing extreme highs and lows in life
Do I always have to loose what I just found?
Questioning why positive experiences in life always seem to be temporary
It's time to stop that and to break out
Realizing the need for change and growth
Thought is in my head, never said it loud
Having thoughts and ideas, but not expressing them to others
I try and stumble, I did before
Attempting to improve but possibly failing in the process
Soon you'll find me down on the floor
Experiencing setbacks or failures
Smelled your interest long ago
Having sensed someone's attraction or affection towards me for a while
And those were the things that you should know
The information that someone should be aware of regarding my feelings towards them
So take me with you, but if you fall
Willing to take risks and explore new things, but aware of the potential dangers and consequences
I wouldn't trust myself at all
Lacking confidence or trust in my ability to handle certain situations
Heading for my last day
Feeling as though my time is limited and life is fleeting
