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 ↴
Sing when you're near me?
Sing when you're close to me?
They say that I'm a fool
Loving you secretly
But I crash in my mind
Whenever you are near
Getting deaf, dumb and blind
Just drowning in despair
I am lost in your flame
It's burning like the sun
And I call out your name
The moment you are gone
Please tell me why can't I
Breathe when you're near me?
Breathe when you're close to me?
I know you know I'm lost
In loving you deeply
Loving you secretly
Secretly
But I crash in my mind
Whenever you are near
Getting deaf, dumb and blind
Just drowning in despair
I am lost in your flame
It's burning like the sun
And I call out your name
The moment you are gone
Tomorrow
I'll tell it all tomorrow
Or the day after tomorrow
I'm sure I'll tell you then
Well I crash in my mind
Whenever you are near
Getting deaf, dumb and blind
Just drowning in despair
I am lost in your flame
It's burning like the sun
And I call out your name
The moment you are gone
The moment you are gone
The song "The Day After Tomorrow" by Saybia is a heartfelt narrative of a person's deep and clandestine love for another. The first verse starts with the question, "Why do birds sing when you're near me? Why do they sing when you're close to me?" The singer feels elated when the person they love is around, and nature seems to celebrate their presence. However, the chorus reveals the hidden pain and longing. The singer is dubbed a "fool" for loving the person deeply and secretly. The line "But I crash in my mind whenever you are near" is the crux of the song, where the singer expresses the overwhelming emotions they experience when they are around the person they love. The feeling is intense that the singer becomes "deaf, dumb, and blind" and "drowning in despair" when they leave.
The second verse amplifies the singer's agony. They find it hard to breathe around the person they love, and the person probably already knows the singer's deep love. The last two lines are a powerful repetition of the first verse. The singer is still unclear why they feel this way and suffers in silence.
The last, powerful chorus is sung with more intensity. The singer acknowledges their love for the person and recognizes the pain it brings. The repetition of the lines "And I call out your name the moment you are gone" depicts the crippling fear of losing the person they love, but they also can't help calling out their name.
The song's title "The Day After Tomorrow" depicts the singer's hesitation to confess their love. It's always tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and they remain stuck in their emotions.

Please tell me why do birds
I wonder why birds sing when you're near me
Sing when you're close to me?
Do they sing because they can sense my deep love for you?
They say that I'm a fool
Others may criticize me for loving you deeply and in secret
For loving you deeply
They believe that my intense feelings for you are foolish
Loving you secretly
They think I am foolish for hiding my love for you
But I crash in my mind
Whenever you are near, my thoughts get jumbled
Whenever you are near
Your presence makes me lose control of my senses
Getting deaf, dumb and blind
I become so overwhelmed with emotion that I can't think or perform basic actions
Just drowning in despair
I am consumed by the sadness and hopelessness of not being able to express my love for you
I am lost in your flame
Your love burns within me so fiercely that I cannot escape it
It's burning like the sun
This love feels as intense and hot as the sun
And I call out your name
I cannot help but speak your name aloud in desperation
The moment you are gone
I feel lost and empty without you
Please tell me why can't I
I don't understand why I feel this way
Breathe when you're near me?
Why does your presence make it hard for me to breathe?
Breathe when you're close to me?
Why does being near you make me feel like I am suffocating?
I know you know I'm lost
I am aware that you sense my confusion and longing for you
In loving you deeply
I cannot help but feel love for you that runs so deep it consumes me
Loving you secretly
I must keep this love hidden from the world
But I crash in my mind
Whenever you are near, my thoughts get jumbled
Or the day after tomorrow
Maybe I will finally have the courage to confess my feelings in the future
I'm sure I'll tell you then
I am confident that I will eventually be able to express my love to you

Please tell me why do birds
sing when you're near me
sing when you're close to me
They say that I'm a fool
for loving you deeply
loving you secretly
But I crash in my mind
whenever you are near
getting deaf, dumb and blind
just drowning in despair
I am lost in your flame
it's burning like the sun
and I call out your name
The moment you are gone
Please tell me why can't I
breathe when you're near me
breathe when you're close to me
I know, you know I'm lost
in loving you deeply
loving you secretly
secretly
But I crash in my mind
whenever you are near
getting deaf, dumb and blind
just drowning in despair
I am lost in your flame
it's burning like the sun
and I call out your name
The moment you are gone
Tomorrow
(say it all tomorrow) I'll tell it all tomorrow
(say it all tomorrow) or the day after tomorrow
(say it all today) I'm sure I'll tell you then
Well, I crash in my mind
whenever you are near
getting deaf, dumb and blind
just drowning in despair
Well, I am lost in your flame
it's burning like the sun
and I call out your name
The moment you are gone

Who is still this amazing song in 2024 the same like me?
@Lottiya
I wish more people to know this song... it’s a masterpiece 💖
@lizvandenheuvel3
Not only this song!
@andresarenales4427
I´m form South America and I´ve never heard about Saybia. Someone invite me to listen to this band and I find that it´s an excellent and obviously underrated band. The music is amazing! Congratulations Denmark!
@MadsDKN
What? He is giving concerts next month. The cancer thing must be something you've made up.
@Frantzen79
He has been through a lot of sorrow, but the above statement isn't true. He is still singing and giving concerts. And his girlfriend was killed in an accident, but not while she was pregnant, his daughter was also seriously injured in the accident but survived.
@casperchristensen8354
I guess underrated is relative, they were fucking huge here in Denmark for a good 5-6 years. They never did catch on outside like Denmark like Nephew, which is kinda weird since their lyrics are all English.
@sejed3
They were big here in Denmark, yeah, but not as huge as I think they should have been. Sadly you'll meet a lot of people who have never heard of them... even the early 90's generation. On the bright side, it gives me a chance to show them some absolutely brilliant music for the first time.

It's 2021 and I'm still listening to Saybia.
