In the summer of 1991, Niklas had his first interaction with Red Sleeping Beauty, then a duo with a 6-track cassette demo as its only proof of existence, when he showed signs of similar taste in t-shirts (Sarah Records) as Kristina at a Swedish pop festival. Hence, after his moving to Stockholm, RSB transformed into a trio, and began to write more up-tempo and up-feeling songs.
In order to secure proper bass playing and a full live line-up, Carl-Johan joined after the recording of Pop Sounds (interested people can try and hear the extremely low-mixed bass played by Kristina on Christmas). Soon after, the band headed for minor stardom with a series of releases on a variety of labels covering the majority of countries in the world. But with the break-up of the secret indie couple, i.e. Mikael and Kristina, along with the fact that the band had been around for almost a decade, Red Sleeping Beauty decided to do a Björn Borg - ending their career when at the top in 1997.
They decided to reform in 2013, recording a new full length album released in 2016. The first fruits of this reformation was a new single, released on US indie Shelflife in September 2015, called Always. Their full length comeback album Kristina was released on Swedish indie, Labrador in June 2016.
You Are The Kind
Red Sleeping Beauty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your window that day
This time you've tried to hard
To make me feel like nothing
You're the kind of boy
I can't say it now
I used to fall in love with
You're the kind of boy
This could go on
That always makes me smile
For so long
But what do you care?
Do you ever try to
Talk to me
Try to understand
Listen to what I say
Why don't you ever try to
Talk to me
Try to understand
Listen to what I say
Try to understand
I'm the kind of girl
I can't say it now
Who doesn't dare to say much
Always wondered how
I'm the kind of girl
This could go on
That used to fall in love
For so long
But what do you care?
I didn't care
Do you ever try to
Talk to me
Try to understand
Listen to what I say
Why don't you ever try to
Talk to me
Try to understand
Listen to what I say
Try to understand
The lyrics to Red Sleeping Beauty's "You Are The Kind" explore the challenge of communication in a one-sided relationship. In the song, the rain falls heavily on the window on a day when the other person tries too hard to make the singer feel unimportant. The singer describes the other person as the kind of boy that she used to fall in love with because he made her smile for so long. Despite this, she feels like he doesn't care about her or try to understand her. The singer is the kind of girl who doesn't dare to say much and used to fall in love for a long time.
The lyrics illustrate both frustration and longing for deeper connection and understanding in a relationship. The singer wants the other person to try and talk to her, understand her, and listen to what she has to say. However, she recognizes that she struggles to communicate, much like the other person, and their one-sided relationship is unlikely to change.
Several interpretations can be drawn from the lyrics to "You Are The Kind." The song may be a reflection of struggling to communicate in a romantic relationship, an unfulfilling friendship, or a larger societal issue. The song speaks to the importance of open, honest communication in any kind of relationship.

The rain fell hard
It was a day when the rain was falling hard
On your window that day
It was the day when rain was falling hard on your window
This time you've tried too hard
You made an effort to prove that I am nothing
To make me feel like nothing
You hurt me and made me feel worthless
You're the kind of boy, I can't say it now
You are the type of boy, I can't define my feelings for you at the moment
I used to fall in love with, always wondered how
I fell in love with you in the past and I still don't know why
You're the kind of boy, this could go on
You are the kind of boy, where there is potential to continue our relationship
That always makes me smile, for so long
You have always made me smile, for such a long time
But what do you care?
You don't seem to be concerned about me
Do you ever try to talk to me?
You never make the effort to communicate with me
Try to understand, listen to what I say
Please make an effort to understand me and listen to what I am saying
Why don't you ever try to talk to me?
I wish you would try to communicate with me more often
I'm the kind of girl, I can't say it now
I am the type of girl, who cannot express her feelings at the moment
Who doesn't dare to say much, always wondered how
I am someone who doesn't speak much, and I always wonder why
I'm the kind of girl, this could go on
There is potential for our relationship to continue, despite my reserved nature
That used to fall in love, for so long
I have been in love with you for such a long time
