Their music style varies between synthpop, trance and ethnopop. The band members are Matthias Uhle (composition, keyboards), his sister Claudia Uhle (vocals until 2007) and Alexander Kaiser (lyrics, keyboards).

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.

Take Me Home
X-Perience Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me home
Please take me home
To the place where I was born
Take me home, take me home, take me home

I don't want any friends
In my new home
'Cause I'd prefer to stay

There all alone

You told me
"I would like to be with you"
Now you're gone
And everything's so strange and new

I love my friends
And you know I miss them so
I miss my friends children
And I miss watching them grow

Take me back to the place
Where I was born

'Cause it's the place where
I feel like being home

Overall Meaning

The song “Take Me Home” by X-Perience is about a person who is feeling lonely and isolated in a new place and wants to return back to their hometown. The song starts with the lyrics “Take me home, please take me home, to the place where I was born”. This clearly indicates the longing of the singer to go back to their roots where they feel they belong. The singer later says "I don't want any friends in my new home, 'cause I'd prefer to stay there all alone". This shows how the person is not comfortable around their new friends and environment and wants to be by themselves.

The next lines of the song talk about a person who had promised to be with the singer but has now left, making everything feel strange and new. The singer is reminiscing about how they miss their old friends and their children and how they miss watching them grow. The song is an emotional plea to be taken back to where the singer belongs, to a place where they feel safe, secure, and surrounded by their loved ones.

Overall, “Take Me Home” is a melancholic ballad that expresses the feeling of displacement one can experience in a new environment and the strong personal connection one can have to their home.

Line by Line Meaning

Take me home
I want to return to the place where I feel I belong

Please take me home
I am requesting to be taken back to my birthplace

To the place where I was born
Return me to the location where I came into existence

Take me home, take me home, take me home
Repeated zealous pleading to be brought back to my origin

I don't want any friends
I desire solitude rather than companionship

In my new home
In the place where I currently reside

'Cause I'd prefer to stay
Because I would rather remain alone

There all alone
Completely isolated and without company

You told me
You once had said

"I would like to be with you"
"I desire to be in your presence"

Now you're gone
Currently, you are no longer present
