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.
Beautiful Day
X-Perience Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The places we were born
I wake up I am receiving
A sign of your return
You gave me one good reason
To wait until you come
I'm waiting and I'm dreaming
We're drowning in the sun
You drive me crazy when you hold me tight
I live my life so slow and
I'll walk while you will run
I slam the door behind me
The same way as you've done
The flowers you've planted
Are growing in the light
They're waiting in the backyard
I visit every night
The lyrics to X-Perience's song "Beautiful Day" are nostalgic and melancholic. The first two lines of the song describe how the singer and their lover left the place they were born "years" ago, and how the singer is "receiving" a sign of their lover's return. It is unclear if the lover is truly returning or if the singer is simply dreaming. The lyric, "You gave me one good reason to wait until you come," implies that the lover had promised to return for the singer, and that the singer has been eagerly awaiting their return. The line "We're drowning in the sun" suggests that the singer and their lover are enjoying each other's company, and that their reunion is filled with warmth and happiness.
The chorus of the song describes how the singer feels about their lover. They describe the day and night as "beautiful" and admit that their lover drives them "crazy" when they hold them tight. The singer contrasts their slower pace of life with their lover's more adventurous nature, admitting that they will "walk" while their lover "runs." The final verse of the song references "flowers" that the lover had planted, which are now "growing in the light" in the backyard. The singer visits them each night, perhaps as a way of holding onto the memory of their relationship, and perhaps as a sign of hope that their lover will return.

Its years since you've been leaving
It has been years since you have left

I close the door with force behind me
The same way as you've done
Just as you have done before
The flowers you've planted
The flowers that you planted
Are growing in the light
Are thriving in the sunlight
They're waiting in the backyard
They are patiently waiting in the backyard
I visit every night
I visit them every night
