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.

Take My Time
Northern Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm almost there
The beauty of the home stretch
Is almost to much to bear
It's just a few steps
And I not even lead
I'm gonna take my time
I gonna take my time
It's seconds now or days
The pieces of the puzzle
Are just falling into place
This is for me to enjoy
Like an amazing ago world
I'm gonna take my time
This is my favorite part
I'm gonna take my time
Let it sink into my chest
Let it search in my soul
This is nothing but the best
A part of me is hoping
That this will never end
I'm gonna take my time
It's time well spend
In "Take My Time," Northern Lite sings about the feeling of being so close to achieving a goal, but not wanting to rush through the last few steps. The lyrics express a sense of appreciation for the journey that has led to this moment, and a desire to savor the experience rather than rushing through it. The repeated phrase "I'm gonna take my time" serves as a mantra for the singer, reminding them to stay present and enjoy the moment.
One possible interpretation of the song is that it is about achieving personal growth or success after a long period of struggle. The singer has worked hard to get to this point, and now that they can see the finish line, they want to take their time and fully appreciate the result of their efforts. The line "let it sink into my chest" suggests that this accomplishment is deeply meaningful to them.
Another interpretation could be that the song is about a romantic relationship. The singer is so enamored with their partner that they want to savor every moment of their time together, and they hope that the relationship will never end.
Overall, "Take My Time" is a song about mindfulness and appreciation for life's small pleasures. It encourages listeners to slow down and enjoy the journey, rather than racing to the finish line.
