Cooperation forever or die

Go DIY Records, (USA)  are our new friends. And they are going to promote SKILLA in The United States of Amerika. The work is going to start in februari 2011 and our music is going to be sent out to Universitiy Radio stations, radio, to people who provide music for the filmindustry, to recordlabels etc.  You are ofcourse never sure of anything, but it´s still very nice to try it out:) 


 
If we dont get world famous at once, I guess a usually day in SKILLA continues to start with Lisas ballet training. And Amanda can use some time for thinking about choices in life and how she could get hold of better coffe for the rehearsal studio, or something like that, In the SKILLA mansion.

Australia

Australia

SKILLA
Text & Musik: Nina Christensen



There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.

Now it has happen once again. I´m laying in my bed
Wispering out tears you´ve called and wonder when
When I´ll quit this game and myself start to please
-Tomorrrow cows´ll be flying and then hell will freeze.

There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.

Now it has happen once again. I´m laying in my bed.
Next to me are you and your slikey, fine hair.
I make myself a fool while sleeping on your arm
An early promise broke before your useless charm

There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.

Have you got a problem with your mother? A problem with you father?
You played with the wrong kids from start? Now you wont bother?
That you have got a problem with yourself for sure,
You killed a guy one night and now you´re back for more?

There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.

I know, the leaves will be shifting their colours.
I know, the wind will be shifting its way.
I know, the birds fly away after summer.
I hope that I too will leave you someday..
Maybe for Australia.

There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.
But there´s one bad thing with Australia, I rather be with you.

Let´s Bloggin again, like we did last summer


The fantastic SKILLA blogg is working again!! We have had some trouble with it, and have only been using facebook and twitter. We´re not dead, my friends, (  check out the video above ) but sometimes you need a break from some of the socialmedia, and just play music. But now we think it´s fun again, the blogg is working and hope you think it´s a good idea too. See you, around!

Reviews, tension, summer


After the release of our new album "Recall Tension" there has been a big discussion out there, about us and our music. What are we playing? what do we want?? Some meen that we´re an orchestra sent from a mental institution, we´re odd, strange, too difficult.. some think that after listening to this,  the next album could go to history as a masterpiece, that we are developing our own style even more on this album. People mean that we are holding back, and some are talking about the music as if it has infectious energy.

I have here collected what we´ve found in media so far. Most of it is in Swedish though, but if you´re interested, try Google translate.

Summer in December

Summer in December

SKILLA
Text & Musik: Nina Christensen


How nice of you to be true to me, you don´t know us
You´re gambling with your hopes and dreams with someone that you´ve met once
Suddenly I´m in a place I never asked for.
The game you wanted me to play, with none of my rules, goes now “game over”
And I will spread it in the shadows

Don´t you think that this could be the night that you´ll remember?
You want to get close to me a cold night in December?
Of all those summer days and the summer dreams
I´m gonna be the one you´ll never get.
Who shows in your dreams and make them wet

How nice of me if I´ld be free for you, just for this night
And gamble with my hopes and dreams with someone that I met once
Safe at home I´ve got a man I always dreamed of.
He makes your call worthless. There ain´t nothing here for you.
Now “game over”, Now, let´s spread this in the shadows!

Don´t you think that this could be the night that you´ll remember?
You want to get close to me a cold night in December?
Of all those summer days and the summer dreams
I´m gonna be the one you´ll never get.
Who shows in your dreams and make them wet

I look the other way, when you start to change.
Fool me and I will fool you in reverse, revenge!
I look the other way in my heart, but see,
In my eyes there rings a bell that says that you can seek forever,
Cause you will go lost there in the shadows

Too far away from the band

Right now it is happening so much interesting stuff for SKILLA. The new album is getting ready and we´re preparing for the release and for the summer. At the same time I am taking my exams at my school on Bornholm in Denmark. Times like this sometimes feel a bit tough, because Im not able to become two persons and  to make magic tricks so that I can be on two places at the same time. Yesterday missed my sisters in SKILLA too much.

Tragic Song

We´ve got a suggestion from some of you, that we should put out our lyrics on internet. Well let´s do it!
Starting with Tragic Song, from our album "To our mums and dads, brothers and sisters, friends and lovers"




Tragic Song

SKILLA
Text & Musik: Nina Christensen


This is the tragic song, wich is useful in every way.
Put all the darkness in it, so you´ll get rid of it for a better day.
This is the tragic song. The song wich is full of fears.
It only blames the happy ones. It´s written to bring out tears.

Let her in!
Let me out!
Open that door I couldn’t open before.
But now we can sing about it

It starts with a rainy day. It turns everything to blue.
Blue is the ocean but also your own darkest deep too.
It starts with a rainy day. What is true and what is false?
To blame the rainy day or to blame yourself?

Let her in
Let me out
Open that door I couldn’t open before
But now we can sing about it
