Their second album, Dear Independence, was released in October 2006. The band tour extensively with Australian band Jet to promote 'Dear Independence'.

The band performed at the Danish musical festival SPOT in 2003 (SPOT09), a festival renowned for showcasing the premier Danish musical talent. The band has also gained renown in the United States, due mainly to numerous shows in and around New York City preceding the release of The Art of Rolling, as well as their participation in events such as Austin City Limits Music Festival. In the first quarter of 2007, the band announced that they would be going into a recluse state in a farm house to write material for their 3rd album. "Silly Boy", the lead single from their third album Man Up, was featured in a 2008 US commercial for the Samsung Behold cell phone.

Illusion
The Blue Van Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stroke your hair, look in your eyes
And I can wait for hours
Now that you've changed my life
I've been waiting for you
I've been dreaming 'bout you
Everything else just fades
Make dark times go away
You're just an illusion
But nothing else could be this right
You're just an illusion
I'll know, Baby, when you arrive
I've been waiting for you
I've been dreaming 'bout you
Everything else just fades
She's the one that saves me
Make dark times go away
I've been fighting for you
Worried that wouldn't show
And I tried to picture
Who you'll be and how I'll know you
You're gonna make me better
As soon as we're together
Everything else just fades
She's the one that saves me
Make dark times go away
It's just an illusion
You're just an illusion
I've been waiting for you
I've been dreaming 'bout you
Everything else just fades
She's the one that saves me
Make dark times go away
The Blue Van’s song “Illusion” is a love song that expresses the magic of a newfound relationship. The lyrics are simple yet poignant; the singer talks about holding his lover like a fragile flower, staring into her eyes and waiting for hours. The artist portrays being lost in the girl's image and adores her as the one that fades all his dark times. The singer seems to have dreamt about her and waited long for her arrival, and finally, the awaited time has come, where she will make him feel better and fight for him.
However, the chorus takes an interesting turn where the singer acknowledges that she may be an illusion as she is too perfect to be true, and says that he will only know when she arrives. The song conveys the idea that love is a powerful force that can change one's life and make things better. The lyrics express the longing, the struggle, and ultimate surrender to love. The repetition of the chorus lines and melodies gives the song a sense of euphoria and excitement, making the listener feel the joy of new love.
