X-Perience was founded in 1995. Their first single CD was called Circles Of Love, released on their own label. Axel Henninger, who had worked with Camouflage before, produced the track. Circles Of Love became a regional hit in Berlin, mainly through the radio station Fritz. This caught the attention of the major record label WEA, who offered the band a contract. WEA re-released Circles Of Love in 1996 on a larger scale, and this single managed to enter the German Top 100.
They released a second single, A Neverending Dream. Along with the song, a video was shot, which went into heavy rotation on MTV and VIVA. A Neverending Dream became a huge hit in the end of 1996, peaked at #4 in the German charts and reached Gold status (sold over 250.000 copies). The song has been covered several times since, lately quite successfully by Dance act Cascada. The debut album Magic Fields was released in 1997. It peaked at chart position #22 in Germany. In Finland, X-Perience became especially popular, with the album reaching Platinum.
The title track Magic Fields was released as a third single, along with a video that was shot in South Africa. Although the song didn't reach the heights of A Neverending Dream, it also was a hit on TV, radio and in the charts. The second album, Take me Home, was released in the fall of 1997. Like the debut album, it reached #22 in the German charts. Its most successful single became the dance track I Don't Care. In 1998, X-Perience won the radio award R.SH Gold.
After a break of three years, X-Perience came back in 2000. Journey Of Life, released by Polydor/Universal, featured a song called The Meaning Of Life, a duet with Neue Deutsche Welle and Gothic icon Joachim Witt. The single Island Of Dreams was used as a title track for the adventure show Expedition Robinson (Survivor).
In 2006, X-Perience got a new contract, this time with Major Records in Hamburg. They released their comeback single Return to Paradise and the fourth album Lost in Paradise, including new versions of the first three X-Perience hits, mixed by José Alvarez-Brill. The album also included a duet with Midge Ure (Ultravox, Visage) called Personal Heaven, which was released as another single.
With the 2007 single release I Feel Like You Claudia decided to leave the band.
In 2009, the band revealed a new singer on the website. A new album with Manja Kaletka on vocals was planned, but never released.
On December 22, 2019, the band announced the departure of Manja Kaletka and a comeback with Claudia Uhle in 2020 on their Facebook page. After a first teaser-single, "Dream A Dream", "I Feel Like You 555" was the first single in 13 years and was released on May 15, 2020. The fifth album "555" was released via Valicon Records on August 21, 2020. In January 2022, singer Claudia Uhle revealed in a TikTok-livestream that the band began working on a sixth album for 2023.
A Neverending Dream
X-Perience Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm waiting for the night
Drifting away
In the waves of my dreams
To another day
I'm standing on the hill
And beyond the clouds
And catching my doubts
A never-ending dream, a dream of you
I believe I receive a sign of you
Tonight I wanna hide my feelings too
As you do, and I wanna be with you
I am hunting all the night
The slave to my dream
An illustrated scene
Ascends in the steam
We're playing full of vice
Our emotional game
I'm turning off my eyes
For hiding my shame
A never-ending dream a dream of you
I believe I receive a sign of you
Tonight I wanna hide my feelings too
As you do and I wanna be with you
I'm watching all the flowers
Dying away
In heated breath of life
At the dawning day
I'm waking up in spring
And kissing your face
A sweet and burning thing
I feel your embrace
A never-ending dream, a dream of you
I believe I receive a sign of you
Tonight I wanna hide my feelings too
As you do and I wanna be with you
A never-ending dream, a dream of you
I believe I receive a sign of you
Tonight I wanna hide my feelings too
As you do and I wanna be with you
I believe I receive a sign of you
As you do and I wanna be with you
The lyrics in "A Neverending Dream" express a longing for a loved one that is not physically present. The dream represents the singer's subconscious thoughts of this person, and they are waiting for the night to come when they can drift away to the dream world where they can be together. The singer is standing on a hill, looking out over the clouds, and they feel the wind blowing, catching their doubts. This can represent the uncertainty and anxieties that come with wanting something that feels impossible.
The second verse suggests that the singer is constantly thinking of this dream, searching for it all night, and when they finally find it, they are fully immersed in it. The "illustrated scene" that ascends in the steam could represent the vivid and surreal qualities of a dream, as well as the singer's desire to escape reality. The emotional game they play is full of vice, and the singer turns off their eyes to hide their shame, suggesting that their desire for this person is forbidden or taboo.
The final verse reveals that the singer is very emotional and sensitive, as they watch flowers die away in the heated breath of life. They wake up in spring and kiss this person's face, and feel a burning sensation, and they feel embraced. This could indicate that the singer is feeling very connected to this person in their dream world, but they are unable to feel the same way in real life. The repetition of the chorus highlights that this dream is never-ending, and that the singer is desperate to be with this person, even if it's just in their dreams.

I still remember watching this on VIVA when it was still a thing... and hunting down the Bravo Hits Compilation which had this track on it. Good Times <3

@knooshoodkarl-konrad4130
Very good times indeed! It was the BRAVO-Hits No. 15, released on November 15th 1996. That was the one with the "50's style" retro cover, which was one of my favorite of BRAVO-HITS. Loved the music on it, the idea(s), the messages. Better times, so innocent.
