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.
Deeper Than Deep
X-Perience Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a flood wipes the dreams all away
We're building
an ark for the
dreamers to stay.
We are sailing
please save the souls we ship
for the life's a dreamers trip.
[Chorus:]
Deeper than deep,
faster than light
we are guardian angels ready to fight
Deep in your mind
there's a beautiful light -
all we guardian angels keep it alive.
Cities and streets are no place for a child
and dreamers are children -
so young and so wild.
We're approaching,
we hide behind the scene,
we will guide you
through your life
we have foreseen.
[Chorus]
The song "Deeper Than Deep" by X-Perience talks about the struggle of dreamers and their need to be protected. The opening lines reflect on how the rain falls and wipes away the dreams of the people. The dreamers need a sanctuary, a place where they can be safe from the flood that threatens to destroy their dreams. The idea of building an ark signifies their determination to protect the dreamers, to provide them with a safe haven.
The chorus emphasizes the depth of the dreamers' emotions, how they are faster than light and deeper than deep. The dreamers are described as guardian angels who are ready to fight for their dreams. They are determined to keep the beautiful light alive that shines inside each of them.
The second verse talks about the dangers that lurk in the cities and how these places are not suitable for children. The dreamers are described as children, who are young and wild at heart. The song ends with a promise from the guardian angels that they will always guide the dreamers through their journey in life.
