Following this release, she received two Swedish Rock Bear awards; one for Best Swedish Newcomer, and the other for Best Swedish Female Artist of the Year.
She followed up her musical success forcefully with the album Fallingwater, released in 2003, quickly climbing to the very number one spots of Swedish pop charts, even reaching platinum sales. The album's success came greatly from two of its songs Lady Stardust and Sing To Me which both became hits.
Lisa´s third album was called Changes and it was released in august 2006. It sold gold after a couple of months and the singles Mary and Sweet Misery became both hits. Lisa received two Swedish Rock Bear awards, for Best Swedish Female Artist of 2006 and for Best Album 2006.
Some of her music was directed by Joakim Berg, also known as a songwriter for the Swedish rock band Kent, and Simon Nordberg.
Miskovsky is a songwriter as well as a singer and musician, and wrote the lyrics to Shape of My Heart, performed by Backstreet Boys.
Miskovsky contributed vocals to the track Dead End on Come Clarity, the 2006 release from Swedish melodic death metal outfit In Flames. However, she does not actually appear in the band's special edition DVD included in Come Clarity. Instead she appears as "Her body double, 'the Mexican'", who is just a man in the studio with In Flames who sings her parts.
She has recently worked with EA/DICE on the title track Still Alive for the video game Mirrors Edge.
Besides the music, Miskovsky enjoys snowboarding, to the point of participating in the Swedish national snowboard team, and she's also known to be fond of ice hockey as well as surfing.

Sing To Me
Lisa Miskovsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna drive the fastest car
I'm gonna teach them while you're learning
I'm gonna take it very far
I'm gonna ride the steepest mountain
I'm gonna travel to the moon
I'm gonna swim the deepest ocean
Sing to me, why won't you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?
It was such a long, long time ago
It's not a question of devotion
You cannot carve your own tattoo
I'm not a part of your emotion
You can't tell me what to do
I'm gonna star the greatest movie
I'm gonna write the perfect song
I'm gonna make it through the wires
I'm gonna make it all alone
Sing to me, why you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?
You fall easy,
But it's easy to give in when you fall
Oh, and you fall easy
But it's easy to give in when the rain falls
I won't fall at all
Sing to me, why won't you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?
Sing to me, why won't you sing to me
Why won't you sing like you did,
A long, long time ago?
You've got to sing
You never sing like you did before
You used to sing
You've got to sing like you did before
You never sing
You've got to sing like you did before
You never sing, like you did before
Like you did before,
Like you did before
I've got a hole in my heart,
I see darkness ahead
I've got a whole lot of living
To do before I left
There's a hole in my heart,
It was something you said
You've got a whole lot of nothing
In that pretty little head

I've got a whole lot of living
I have a lot to accomplish and experience
To do before I left
Before I die, I want to make my mark on the world
There's a hole in my heart,
I feel a sense of loss and emptiness
It was something you said
Your words had a deep impact on me
You've got a whole lot of nothing
Your actions and words have little substance or meaning
In that pretty little head
Your thoughts and ideas are shallow and superficial
