After a splendid debut in 2002 with "The second you sleep", here is the follow-up from this Danish band, titled "These are the days".
A fine album, perhaps rougher and less complete compared to the previous one, yet still attributable to Saybia's typical sound. Some more rhythmic pieces, like the single "Brillant sky" or "Bend the rules", and many atmospheric tracks, generally acoustic sounds, with airy and melancholic melodies, where once again Soeren's great voice manages to make the lyrics, which are always very introspective in content, even more intense.
A band that in my opinion deserves great attention: catchy melodies, but crafted with style, like those of Saybia, are not heard much around... One to keep an eye on!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Brilliant Sky (03:46)
Nothing has changed,
I'm exactly the same
As before we went cruising
In a high speed lane
I'm still dreaming of open sky,
Open road
But grass is not greener
On the other side
I know by now
'cause I walked the red carped and died
There is so much more to life
Than what meets the eye
We're running wild on the ocean
Running wild
Brilliant sky all over
There's a brilliant sky all over
These days, yeah
There's a brilliant sky all over
These days
Hang on, hang on, hang on
And I thought I was safe
On this one-way crusade
But reality claimed my heart
And my friends
Now this is day one
In the rest of my life
And I'm feeling all grounded
And my spirit is high
And I'm longing for open sky
Open road
We're running wild on the ocean
Running wild
There's a brilliant sky all over, yeah
There's a brilliant sky all over
These days, yeah
There's a brilliant sky all over
These days, these days
Hang on, hang on
There's a brilliant sky, yeah
There's a brilliant sky
Ooh, we're running wild on the ocean
Running wild
02 Bend the Rules (03:26)
I'm used to being scared from time to time
Used to redefining my way of life
'cause nothing really stays the same
Nothing ever will
But lately I have come to realize
That voice inside my head belongs to me
Now everything is pros and cons
Ignorance is gone
I'm clinging to my time
There's something in the air, I breathe tonight
Everything gets stock in black and white
Everything is ups and downs
Every single thing
Back in the days
When we were Gods
And we took everything for granted, for granted
And we were wild
And we were young
We bent the rules
And took our chances, our chances
But I'm not really close to giving in
I'm fighting every pound and every inch
Losing every day I live
Every single day
But I don't wanna feel the way I do
I don't wanna say the things I do
I just wanna stay right here
Blinded but sincere
These are the days
When we are Gods
And we take everything for granted, for granted
And we are wild
And we are young
We fuck the rules
And take our chances, our chances
There's something in the air
There's something in the air
03 I Surrender (03:39)
A million suns are glowing in the night
Everything is quiet
Except for all the voices in my head
That say your name
Tonight I'm letting go
About to give in
I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you, to you
I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you, to you
There is only one bridge left for me
My heart is almost free
Beautiful by my side
But all I think about is you
And tonight I'm letting go
About to give in
I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you, to you
I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you
Who really loves me?
You really love me
My beautiful stranger
You really love me
Like I love you

Track: 04
Title: Guardian Angel
Do you remember
The laughter and the joy?
Do you remember?
Do you remember
Driving in our car?
Do you remember
Swimming in that lake?
Just the five of us
Against the rest of the world
Guardian angel left us bleeding
Guardian angel left us screaming
Guardian angel
Do you remember
Fireworks by the sea?
Do you remember
The exact time we went dry on gasoline?
Just the five of us
Against the rest of the world
Guardian angel left us bleeding
Guardian angel left us screaming
Guardian angel
Do you remember?
10 It's OK Love (04:45)
Caught in a well
between heaven and hell
it's getting lonely out here
highways and hotels
and headliner shows
it's all just making me sad
Sorry if I ever let you down
I never meant to
stayed inside the only world I knew
'till I forgot
that nothing is as beautiful as when
I am with you
and life isn't life out there
without you here
Just when I thought
there was nobody out there
no one who quite understood me
I glanced to the side
and I found you there smiling
patiently holding my hand
saying over and over
it's ok love
easy love
I'm here
So finally I'm ready to reveal
what my heart tells me
bring out all that's good inside of me
and let it shine
knowing that I'll never be alone
while I'm with you
and that life isn't life out there
without you here
Just when I thought
there was nobody out there
no one who could quite understood me
I glanced to the side
and I found you there smiling
patiently holding my hand
saying over and over
it's ok love
easy love
I'm yours
