Saybia plays alternative rock in the vein of bands like Coldplay and Athlete, their tracks have anthemic and melodic charachter and depth added with Søren Huss' world class vocal - Huss has in recent years established a solo career, singing in danish language, and with a slight change of musical style, leaving the future of Saybia to the unknown, but they have not split up.
They released three EPs before signing to EMI in the spring of 2001, after which they started working on their debut album The Second You Sleep. When this album was finished, the band started touring through Europe. In 2003, the band was about to break up. After recognizing this, the five bandmembers bought an old house on a Swedish island, renovated it and turned it into a studio. Saybia spent months on this island and wrote and recorded a lot of songs for These Are the Days, which was released in 2004. In 2007 they performed "Eyes on the highway" with their new album on studio with the first single "Angel" recorded in their own place first time for months. The band split up and played their last gig at 6 november 2008 at Pumpehuset.
In 2011 and 2012 they played concerts again.
Saybia is a nameplay on the cymbal manufacturer "Sabian", which is Palle's brand of choice.

Saybia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with a rose in my hand
I now understand
I kept you for as long as I could
it's time to let go
I stare into your watery eyes
as you wander off into the light
as my memory capture the sight
I'm breathing though a part of me died
it doesn't seem right
I'm standing
as life lingers on
it's time to move on
I stare into your watery eyes
as you wander off into the light
I watch though my eyelids were closed
as my memory capture the sight
I stare into your watery eyes
as you wander off into the light
I watch though my eyelids were closed
as my memory capture the sight
I stare into your watery eyes
as you wander off into the light
I watch though my eyelids were closed
as my memory capture the sight
one day
with a rose in my hand
I'll see you again
see you again
The song "Dressed In Black" by Danish band Saybia is a beautiful and poignant tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics describe the singer dressed in black, holding a rose and finally coming to terms with the fact that they can no longer keep their loved one with them. The lines "I kept you for as long as I could, it's time to let go" are particularly striking, reflecting the pain and eventual acceptance of loss. The evocative imagery of the "watery eyes" of the loved one is moving and vivid. The repeated chorus, "I stare into your watery eyes, as you wander off into the light, I watch though my eyelids were closed, as my memory captures the sight" underscores the sense of deep sadness and longing.
The bridge of the song builds to a crescendo, with the lines "I'm breathing though a part of me died, it doesn't seem right, I'm standing as life lingers on, it's time to move on". The singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that they must face life without their loved one, even as they hold them close in memory. The song ends with a sense of hope and the idea that one day they will be reunited with their loved one, holding a rose. Overall, "Dressed In Black" is a moving and heartfelt tribute to love and loss, told with a simple yet powerful poetic grace.
