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

Clothes for the cover and a shooting date!

Love to you all. 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.
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.
Posters for the next gigs were sent out aswell today. Its a bit in the last minuite though..but they´re sent!:)


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.

Good night ladies and gentlemen

After Tomorrow

SKILLA

After tomorrow
Text och musik: Nina Christensen



Whiner, whiner, I?ll always be a whiner. Whiner, whiner, what will become of me?
Better, better, can always do things better. Better than enough, better than possible.

Harder, harder. Can always fight harder. Fight harder, harder or never fight at all.
Faster, faster, can always do things faster. Faster than enough, faster than possible. I hope.

We went through disaster, disaster, disaster. Never held eachothers back, never on eachothers side.
With endless discussions, that we did not think more of then a road to an end.
Then?

New opportunities came when they were needed the most. Let?s do this right now, we said.
Let?s try again.
New found energy arose. It came out of nowhere at all. Let?s do this right now, we said.
Let?s try again.

Smaller, the smaller you?re thinking, the more you will drift further, further away from where you came.
Wider, wider my world after tomorrow will be wider than enough, wider than possible.

Heartbeats, heartbeats can always beat stronger. And weaker, weaker if not fed enough.
Lover, lover, my future?s marked for your love. The end is never near, even if we?ll be there again.

We went through disaster, disaster, disaster. Never held eachothers back, never on eachothers side.
With endless discussions, that we did not think more of then a road to an end.
Then?

New opportunities came when they were needed the most. Let?s do this right now, we said.
Let?s try again.
New found energy arose. It came out of nowhere at all. Let?s do this right now, we said.
Let?s try again.

Things don?t always end the way you think. Winter ends, today it?s spring.
New opportunities came when they were needed the most. Came cause they were wanted of both.

The tale of the Accordian and the forgotten cheese

It was the early morning of the date of today. The band SKILLA and the musicmagican Jonas Siöström were sitting in the car on their way to the yellow, submarine,  house.
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.
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!
Yes what about the cheese?
it´s forgotten.. it´s at ninas tender mom and dads house.
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

Now it´s 12.59, and in the speakers: LANTERN

the day when the pianotuner came

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.

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.

haa ha just now Vanja showed me a fantastic clip from junior eurovision, look

At eleven today the pianotuner came visit to fix a last thing on the grand piano before Elins recording.
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.

love from us for now.
