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.”
The turning point for Nell’s musical career was after the band participated in the rock festival designed by Seo Taiji, the 2002 ETPFEST and joined the Goesoo Indigene Label.

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.”

Fisheye lens
Nell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
짙은 그림자
슬픔의 잠긴 탄식은
날 위한 노래
모든 게 밝혀지는
오늘을 기억해둬
It's all breaking down
천사의 연못에 잠든 피묻은 영혼
소돔과 고모라의 불꽃 영광의 축제
모든게 사라지는 오늘을 기억해둬
It's all breaking down
It's nobody's crown
You were meant to be my reality
But it's over now
It's over now
The lyrics of "Fisheye lens" by Nell are quite mysterious and poetic in nature. The song starts off by describing a hidden melancholy that is hidden behind a mask. The line "자기의 가면 뒤에는 짙은 그림자" translates to "Behind one's mask lies a deep shadow." The sadness that is trapped within this shadow is then described as a song meant for the singer, as if the sadness is a constant companion in their life.
The chorus of the song then becomes more ominous, warning of an impending doom. The lines "모든 게 밝혀지는 오늘을 기억해둬 / It's all breaking down" translates to "Remember today when everything is revealed / It's all breaking down." The imagery used in the next verse takes on quite apocalyptic undertones, with references to a pond of sleeping bloodied souls and a celebration of fire from Sodom and Gomorrah. The final call to remember "모든게 사라지는 오늘을 기억해둬 / It's all breaking down" essentially seems to warn of a time when everything will crumble and all that will be left is emptiness.
The closing verse is more introspective in tone, as the singer reflects on the past and the loss of a former partner. The line "You were meant to be my reality / But it's over now" really drives home the sense of finality and acceptance of what has been lost. The final line "It's nobody's crown" perhaps suggests that no one person is ultimately responsible for the singer's current state of mind, but rather it is something that has come about as a result of many different factors.
