SIGN have defined their music in a modern, unique sound, based on old school rock, performing it with fierce and confident musicianship that surpasses their young age. A powerful, tight set involving Zolberg ’s unique voice gives the impression of excitement.
SIGN came together in early 2001 to compete against 30 other bands in Battle of the Bands in Iceland. They finished in second place and Zolberg was awarded the title of "Best Singer," claiming afterwards in newspaper interviews that he is first and foremost a guitarist. At 7 years of age, Zoilberg would entertain at family parties imitating Hendrix, playing behind his back. At the age of 14, he no longer needed a mentor.
Later that year (2001), they recorded and released their first album "Vindar og breytingar" (Winds and Changes). The album’s first single "Cassandra" shot straight up to number one in the Icelandic top 20 rock chart and was the starting point of a strong fan base. In 2002 SIGN released "Fyrir Ofan Himininn" (Above the Sky).
The band recorded and released their third album this year, going straight to number 12 on the official Icelandic sales chart. In the preparation for the release, SIGN, were fortunate enough to work with New York producer, Mark Plati, and legendary guitarist, Earl Slick on three of the tracks.
This was an inspiring collaboration where Mark managed to focus on the core of the music and underline the strength of the band. It didn’t come as a surprise that one of the tracks, "A Little Bit", has been playlisted on national radio in Iceland along with two of the main rock stations.

Sign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not looking back
Leaving everything that doesn't feel good
Now we're out to seize the world
We're finally free
Nothing left to do than just to be
No one
No one can touch me now.
A little bit's not enough
When we're waiting for it all
No matter how much it hurts us
We always want more.
A little bit means nothing
When we're fighting for it all
No matter how much it hurts us
We still want more
Since love is blind
We're only trusting what we hear
Listen to the love that we give
The echo of our singing spreads
And we're not alone
Determined souls will gather
for this love
Let go Let go the strain that you contain
Lets go Lets go try to find our way
In here we are surrounded by our soul
No one No one can stop us now
A little bit's not enough
When we're waiting for it all
No matter how much it hurts us
We always want more.
A little bit means nothing
When we're fighting for it all
No matter how much it hurts us
We still want more
Every scream is trying to say something
We're all on a quest and we're aiming for it all
We will forever be OK
And you dicide whats right or wrong
A little bit's not enough
When we're waiting for it all
No matter how much it hurts us
We always want more.
A little bit means nothing
When we're fighting for it all
No matter how much it hurts us
We still want more
The lyrics of "A Little Bit" by Sign describe a journey towards freedom and self-realization. The song starts with describing the singer's decision to leave behind everything that doesn't feel good and to seize the world. They feel liberated now that they are finally free, and they don't need to do anything else other than be themselves. The singer emphasizes the importance of self-sufficiency by expressing that they're surrounded by their soul, and no one can touch them now.
The chorus conveys an idea that a little bit is not enough; people are always waiting for more, they're always fighting for it all, and no matter how much it hurts them, they still want more. The singer recognizes how people are blinded by love, and they only trust what they hear. The only way for their love to exist and flourish is to listen to the echo of their singing, and determined souls will gather for this love.
The bridge speaks about release from the strain that people contain and encourages listeners to find their way. Every scream is trying to say something, which can be interpreted as people trying to express themselves in the only way they know-how. The song concludes with the repeated idea that a little bit is not enough, and people are always waiting for more. However, they will forever be okay because they decide what's right or wrong for themselves.
