There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.<br />
<br />
Now it has happen once again. I´m laying in my bed <br />
Wispering out tears you´ve called and wonder when<br />
When I´ll quit this game and myself start to please<br />
-Tomorrrow cows´ll be flying and then hell will freeze.<br />
<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.<br />
<br />
Now it has happen once again. I´m laying in my bed.<br />
Next to me are you and your slikey, fine hair.<br />
I make myself a fool while sleeping on your arm<br />
An early promise broke before your useless charm<br />
<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.<br />
<br />
Have you got a problem with your mother? A problem with you father?<br />
You played with the wrong kids from start? Now you wont bother?<br />
That you have got a problem with yourself for sure, <br />
You killed a guy one night and now you´re back for more?<br />
<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from you.<br />
<br />
I know, the leaves will be shifting their colours.<br />
I know, the wind will be shifting its way.<br />
I know, the birds fly away after summer.<br />
I hope that I too will leave you someday..<br />
Maybe for Australia.<br />
<br />
There´s one good thing with Australia, It´s far away from here.<br />
But there´s one bad thing with Australia, I rather be with you.Skillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197488597510369354noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35335340.post-27977361022932423652010-10-11T16:27:00.001+02:002010-10-11T16:32:26.273+02:00Let´s Bloggin again, like we did last summer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqxdqJRDuzE">The Offer - SKILLA</a></div><br />
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!<br />

</td><td> <!--- blog body --> <div class="blogContent">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 <span class="short_text" id="result_box"><span>infectious energy</span></span>. <br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
How nice of you to be true to me, you don´t know us<br />
You´re gambling with your hopes and dreams with someone that you´ve met once<br />
Suddenly I´m in a place I never asked for. <br />
The game you wanted me to play, with none of my rules, goes now “game over”<br />
And I will spread it in the shadows<br />
<br />
Don´t you think that this could be the night that you´ll remember?<br />
You want to get close to me a cold night in December?<br />
Of all those summer days and the summer dreams<br />
I´m gonna be the one you´ll never get.<br />
Who shows in your dreams and make them wet<br />
<br />
How nice of me if I´ld be free for you, just for this night<br />
And gamble with my hopes and dreams with someone that I met once<br />
Safe at home I´ve got a man I always dreamed of.<br />
He makes your call worthless. There ain´t nothing here for you. <br />
Now “game over”, Now, let´s spread this in the shadows!<br />
<br />
Don´t you think that this could be the night that you´ll remember?<br />
You want to get close to me a cold night in December?<br />
Of all those summer days and the summer dreams<br />
I´m gonna be the one you´ll never get.<br />
Who shows in your dreams and make them wet<br />
<br />
I look the other way, when you start to change.<br />
Fool me and I will fool you in reverse, revenge!<br />
I look the other way in my heart, but see, <br />
In my eyes there rings a bell that says that you can seek forever,<br />
Cause you will go lost there in the shadowsSkillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197488597510369354noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35335340.post-24001163592271871322010-05-01T12:20:00.000+02:002010-05-01T12:20:55.523+02:00Too far away from the band<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/Skilla3-747276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/Skilla3-745905.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>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. <br />

Tragic Song<br />

Text & Musik: Nina Christensen<br />
<br />
<br />
This is the tragic song, wich is useful in every way.<br />
Put all the darkness in it, so you´ll get rid of it for a better day.<br />
This is the tragic song. The song wich is full of fears.<br />
It only blames the happy ones. It´s written to bring out tears.<br />
<br />
Let her in!<br />
Let me out!<br />
Open that door I couldn’t open before.<br />
But now we can sing about it<br />
<br />
It starts with a rainy day. It turns everything to blue.<br />
Blue is the ocean but also your own darkest deep too.<br />
It starts with a rainy day. What is true and what is false?<br />
To blame the rainy day or to blame yourself?<br />
<br />
Let her in<br />
Let me out<br />
Open that door I couldn’t open before<br />
But now we can sing about itSkillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197488597510369354noreply@blogger.com35tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35335340.post-31918450845991077462010-03-02T12:01:00.002+01:002010-03-02T18:32:44.424+01:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_0077-750302.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_0077-749807.JPG" width="240" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">its nina time in studio saga. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">soon it will be <a href="http://www.billiethevision.com/">lars lindquist</a> time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/larsheidelberg-775351" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/larsheidelberg-775348" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> after that it will be<b> </b><a href="http://www.vilekvartetten.se/">rebecka lassbo and daniel fjellström</a> time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_0086-779710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_0086-779225.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and then it will be nina time again!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/ninahate-704599" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/ninahate-704594" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We´ve got plenty. Today SKILLA had meeting with the splendid photographer and person Azusa Itagaki. And we´re very happy about the ideas that spread in the athmosphere. You see, we are right now planning the shooting for the cover of the coming album. exiting.<br />
Good news is that TJALLAMALLA a great clothing store in Malmö, Sweden, sponsored us with clothes to the cover! Thank you, we say, and smile. <br />
Posters for the next gigs were sent out aswell today. Its a bit in the last minuite though..but they´re sent!:)<br />
<br />
<br />
I am happy, sitting in my bed, writing on my computer and thinking about the shooting on sunday and the continuing recording on monday, tuesday and wednesday.<br />
<br />

Whiner, whiner, I’ll always be a whiner. Whiner, whiner, what will become of me?<br />
Better, better, can always do things better. Better than enough, better than possible.<br />
<br />
Harder, harder. Can always fight harder. Fight harder, harder or never fight at all.<br />
Faster, faster, can always do things faster. Faster than enough, faster than possible. I hope. <br />
<br />
We went through disaster, disaster, disaster. Never held eachothers back, never on eachothers side.<br />
With endless discussions, that we did not think more of then a road to an end.<br />
Then…<br />
<br />
New opportunities came when they were needed the most. Let’s do this right now, we said. <br />
Let’s try again. <br />
New found energy arose. It came out of nowhere at all. Let’s do this right now, we said.<br />
Let’s try again. <br />
<br />
Smaller, the smaller you’re thinking, the more you will drift further, further away from where you came. <br />
Wider, wider my world after tomorrow will be wider than enough, wider than possible.<br />
<br />
Heartbeats, heartbeats can always beat stronger. And weaker, weaker if not fed enough.<br />
Lover, lover, my future’s marked for your love. The end is never near, even if we’ll be there again.<br />

We like food. Everyday we talk about food. Especially amanda, the drummer. This morning we were also talking about food, the breakfast. We eat breakfast everyday together in the studio. nice tradition.<br />
anyway, we were getting closer to the studio, the terrein was very rough, it was snowing and blowing, but the talk about food escalated. mmm bread! mm.. coffe, avocado, tomatos, what about egg and mayo togheter with custard and , and and, cheese!<br />
Yes what about the cheese?<br />
it´s forgotten.. it´s at ninas tender mom and dads house.<br />
And so we had to go all the way back again to get the breakfast. Luckily Elin, Jonas and Vanja stayed in the studio and started to work on DRESSED IN SNOW<br />
<br />
Now it´s 12.59, and in the speakers: LANTERNSkillahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10197488597510369354noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35335340.post-60593735164052103562010-02-21T18:37:00.000+01:002010-02-21T18:37:56.416+01:00the day when the pianotuner came<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_4524-743845.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://skillatheband.com/blog/uploaded_images/IMG_4524-742988.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Someone on our facebook fanpage asked for a studiodiary. So , we came to think about what news from the studio by the sea, we could share with you. First of all we are recordning 9 songs never recorded before. Those of you who has seen us live lately, might ofcourse have heard something, but otherwise this is new stuff from us, and we are really exiting to hear what you think about it.<br />
<br />
Today its sunday and our third day in the studio. Vanja and Amanda has now made a fantastic work with putting the drums and the bass to the songs. Me and the rest has eaten alot everyday, drinking heaps of coffe and pretended that we have been bicycling. <br />
<br />
haa ha just now Vanja showed me a fantastic clip from junior eurovision, look<br />

<br />
<br />
At eleven today the pianotuner came visit to fix a last thing on the grand piano before Elins recording.<br />
We met him by the door to shake his hand. He was smiling, shook our hands politely and said, Hi you must be the "doa doa" choir. That was nice.<br />
<br />
love from us for now.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I left my home feeling like Santa. I was really in a hurry, but in good mood, carrying alot of xmas presents, got some more from my sisters apartement and continued on the trip. Next place to stop by was Sophies place. Thats an old friend of mine and I wanted to give her a small thing for the 24th. She invited me for kanelbulle! cinnamonbun! and then everything was turned upsidedown. To catch the train to Stockholm 19.14, I had to run and wave, and run and wave with my very big suitcase in pile after pile of snow. I couldn´t get hold of any cab and started to panick!!! Then all of a sudden when there was only 10 min left until the train would leave Malmö, An angel suddenly appeared. -Come, he said. -Dont be afraid. I´ve come to drive you to the centralstation. I said: - oo dear! you have very big white wings and you come with very good news. there is nothing else for me now then to obey to your wishes to drive me. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And so he came to drive me to my train, and now I´m on my way to my love. Christmas is saved!<br />

<br />
Exemple 1 : in Kristiansand, on a hotell when we had breakfast, something very strange happened. all of a sudden a teabag flew out of the bin!! that was scary. the same day our tire had been cut up on the parking place. probably with a very sharp knife. o! scary.<br />
<br />
example 2: we drove very nice and proper among the mountains. it was so beutiful that it became strange and all of a sudden we were lost. the road ended in nowhere and there was alot of sharp glass pieces on the road. aaa. oo. sharp edges. <br />
<br />
hmm.. its soon cristmas. in sweden and denmark we´re drinking glögg... and writing songs. I long to get in to the studio again to record the coming album. and I also want to go to germany soon again. .. ja!<br />
