Guano Apes were formed in 1994 in Göttingen, Germany, by guitarist Henning Rümenapp, bassist Stefan Ude and drummer Dennis Poschwatta. Female lead singer Sandra Nasić joined the band later in the same year.
The band's career took off in 1996 after they won the "Local Heroes" competition held by VIVA, beating out over 1000 competitors with their song "Open Your Eyes". The song was also their first and most successful single, followed by the release in October 1997 of their debut album Proud Like a God on BMG and GUN/Supersonic Records. The album peaked at number 4 in Germany and it was certified platinum. The songs "Lords of the Boards" and "Rain" were also issued as singles. "Lords of the Boards" was commissioned for the 1998 European Snowboarding Championship.
Hey you there, how you doin' Can I ask you something Are you dead or alive I saw you running through the night And like always you eat and you're are watching TV You don't look that good or is something wrong with me I can't wait until you operate And now you hide in the bed and you're not coming out Why is it so hard now Do you want me to give in Do you want me to wash it down for you tonight
When you're drifting slowly away I'll be here to bring you the day With fire in my eyes I'll be that fire in you're eyes When you hide yourself from the light I'll be here to burn you inside With fire in my eyes That fire in your eyes And I just keep on filling up with all my love
Somebody put you on the hot track Just one way to go A fire injection From heart into you're soul So you don't get hurt when you will fall
When you're drifting slowly away I'll be here to bring you the day With fire in my eyes I'll be that fire in you're eyes When you hide yourself from the light I'll be here to burn you inside With fire in my eyes That fire in your eyes And I just keep on filling up with all my love
And you know I am right I'm looking for your light And running after you, I'm running after you And you know I was right I'm looking for your light And running after you, I'm running after you Come on Come on Come on Come on
I see the fire in your eyes I see the fire in your eyes
