Their hit numbers from the two albums are “Words That Shouldn't Be Trusted,” “Already Said and Done,” “A Somewhat Sad Story” and “The Rain of Leaves.”

3) NeLL
NeLL, hailing from Chorzów, Poland, is an energetic indie rock band with a strong big beat influence.
The band was founded in 2003 by Sojer and Bartek, on the ashes of their former band Campbell. They played as a duo for several months, the bassist, Klaus joined the band shortly, though. They released self-titled demo in 2005. In November, Borsuk, a new drummer joined the group. He gave NeLL a strong blow of pure energy and enabled them to revise what they've done up to that point. With a new face, NeLL recorded two brand new songs: "Red Ribbons" and "Lady C", both acclaimed by the Polish Radio Trojka and later released on Piotr Stelmach's compilations.
In 2008 they released their first official single: Downwards the City. The single was funded by the fans via megatotal.pl website and therefore NeLL has became the first polish band ever which managed to release a single in such way.
Their debut album White Noise Zone was released in 2010 by Polskie Radio label.
Their influences include Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, The Knife, Kraftwerk and more recently Interpol, Depeche Mode or The Kills. NeLL is rendering personal emotions into the language of sounds. They vent down their frustrations, joy and despair. The world in their music bends inside. The Real shines with its own glitter and ghosts sit at the bar or lie down to your bed. The music they play is as varied as we are. It’s a rock’n’roll watching its mirror refelction. As one of NeLL’s fans wrote: “With this music, you can drink, die and do couple of other cool things.”

Nell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
홧김에 그냥 한번 해 본
얘기라고
웃어넘길 수 없겠냐고
말해주길 바랬지
사실 정확히 반대라고
솔직히 너도 내 맘 다
알고 있지 않냐고
말해주길 바랬지
하지만 이미 넌 꽤 오랜
동안 준비해 온 듯 해
니 안엔 더 이상 내가
머물 곳 따윈 없는 듯해
좀 지쳤던 것뿐이라고
누구나 가끔 그럴 때가
있지 않냐고
위로해 주면 안되냐고
말해주길 바랬지
아직도 잘 모르겠냐고
조금 더 안아주길 바란 것
뿐이라고
그렇게 해 줄 수 없겠냐고
말해주길 바랬지
하지만 이미 넌 꽤 오랜
동안 준비해 온 듯 해
니 안엔 더 이상 내가
머물 곳 따윈 없는 듯해
이제와 이런 생각 쓸데
없단 걸 알지만
미리 조금이라도 미리
알았더라면
지금과는 좀 달라졌을까
달라지긴 했을까
니가 아니면 안 된다고
너무 흔한 말이라 조금
그렇긴 해도
머물러 주길 바란다고
말해 볼 걸 그랬지
In NELL's song 침묵의 역사 History of Silence, the lyrics express the inner turmoil and regret felt by the singer as they confront a past decision. The singer admits that what they previously stated was not the truth and just something they said on a whim. They hoped that the listener would brush it off and not take it seriously. However, the truth was the opposite, and the singer wishes that the listener knew how they truly felt. The singer wanted to be held and comforted, but it seems that the listener had been distant for a long time, giving the impression that they do not have a place in the listener's life anymore.
The singer acknowledges that everyone has moments when they feel tired and need some comfort. They admit that they cannot stop thinking about how they wished that the listener had hugged them a little bit more. Despite knowing that their thoughts at this point are useless, the singer expresses regret that they did not come to this realization sooner. The singer wonders if things would have turned out differently if they had recognized this earlier. Lastly, the singer says that even though saying "I cannot live without you" is a common phrase, they wished they had said it; they wished they had asked the listener to stay.
