2) sela was formed in early 2004 in Rotterdam, NLand started off experimenting with different sounds to eventually find it’s way in a mixture of grunge, metal and indie. To get a rough idea, their songs have been influenced by bands like At The Drive-in, Far, Sevendust, Green Lizard and Nirvana. The name sela has been extracted from the hebrew word 'selah' - the point of silence before the (musical) climax or explosion. It is commonly used in Christian songstructure.
Dimitri and Daniël met in 2003 with the desire to start a band together. After alongwayout ( Dimitri's band ) broke up, they decided to do some sessions. Bart, a former bandmate of Dimitri’s, was invited as well and he brought along Daniel Lakens to play bass. Soon Jeremy was added to the foursome to do the vocals, then after a couple of sessions, all band members decided to look out for new bassplayer. A former bandmate of Jeremy’s, Javier, took the job for two shows, but after that he decided to continue with some of his own projects.
Robert, a friend of Bart’s joined in for a session, and stayed in the position of bass player.
After a couple of succesfull shows, the band moved on without Jeremy and found a new vocalist in Erik.
In 2007 the band recorded a 3 song EP named A day in the flames with Nick Radich of Digitube recording studio.

Sela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En ik mis U dag na dag
Heeft U mij niet zelf beloofd
Dat ik bij U schuilen mag
Waarom zou ik angstig zijn
Als het leven mij benauwd
In de storm bent U, O God
Vaste rots van mijn behoud
Waar mijn ziel zo naar verlangt
Is thuisgekomen in Uw Huis
Rustend aan Uw Vaderhart 2x
Dwars door alle moeite heen
Alle onrust diep in mij
Laat U mij Uw liefde zien
En bent U in de nood dichtbij
één ding vraag ik van U Heer
Waar mijn ziel zo naar verlangt
Is thuisgekomen in Uw Huis
Rustend aan Uw Vaderhart 2x
Al verlaat mijn vader mij
Laat mijn moeder mij alleen
Liefdevol neemt U mij aan
En slaat Uw handen om mij heen
één ding vraag ik van U Heer
Waar mijn ziel zo naar verlangt
Is thuisgekomen in Uw Huis
Rustend aan Uw Vaderhart 2x
In "Vaders huis," Sela expresses her longing for God's comfort and protection. The opening lines reveal a sense of emptiness and despair: "The fire in me has gone out / And I miss you day after day." Despite this feeling, the singer remembers God's promise to shelter her: "Did you not promise me yourself / That I may find refuge in you?" This promise gives her hope in times of distress, as she proclaims: "Why should I be afraid / When life oppresses me / In the storm, you're there, O God / Steadfast rock of my salvation."
The chorus reveals the singer's ultimate desire: to be at home in God's house and to rest in His loving embrace. She asks for one thing from the Lord: "What my soul longs for / Is to come home to your house / And rest against your Father's heart." This yearning for a sense of belonging and security is a common theme in religious and spiritual contexts. The second verse repeats this longing and emphasizes the singer's need for God's love during times of restlessness: "Through all the trouble and unrest in me / You show me your love / And in distress, you come near."
Overall, "Vaders huis" is a deeply personal song that speaks to the human heart's desire for comfort, protection, and love. Through its simple yet powerful lyrics, Sela shows us that even in our darkest moments, we can find solace in God's presence and promises.

Het vuur in mij is uitgedoofd
I am no longer passionate and enthusiastic
En ik mis U dag na dag
I miss you more and more with each passing day
Heeft U mij niet zelf beloofd
Didn't you promise me yourself
Dat ik bij U schuilen mag
That I can take refuge in you
Waarom zou ik angstig zijn
Why should I be afraid
Als het leven mij benauwd
When life feels suffocating
In de storm bent U, O God
You are there in the storm, oh God
Vaste rots van mijn behoud
Steadfast rock of my salvation
Eén ding vraag ik van U Heer
One thing I ask of you, Lord
Waar mijn ziel zo naar verlangt
Is what my soul longs for
Is thuisgekomen in Uw Huis
To come home to your house
Rustend aan Uw Vaderhart 2x
Resting at your fatherly heart
Dwars door alle moeite heen
Through all the struggles
Alle onrust diep in mij
All the unrest deep within me
Laat U mij Uw liefde zien
Let me see your love
En bent U in de nood dichtbij
And be near in times of need
Al verlaat mijn vader mij
Even if my father leaves me
Laat mijn moeder mij alleen
Or my mother abandons me
Liefdevol neemt U mij aan
You lovingly accept me
En slaat Uw handen om mij heen
And wrap your arms around me
