Upon leaving Morcheeba, Edwards was replaced by Daisy Martey (formerly of Noonday Underground) as the band's vocalist. (Martey was subsequently criticised by fans for sounding too much like Skye. She did not tour with the band following the release of their first album with her, The Antidote, her place being taken by Jody Sternberg.)
Edwards is signed to Atlantic Records UK. Her debut solo album, Mind How You Go was released on February 27th, 2006.
New solo album 2009: Skye - Keeping Secrets, Skywards Recordings, www.myspace.com/myskyesite
2010: With "Blood Like Lemonade" Skye is firmly back in place. According to Skye "it all happened quite by chance". After seven years, she bumped into Ross Godfrey at her manager's office. They gave each other a big hug, had a chat, and this led to the brother's asking Skye (through their manager) if she would be interested in singing a few songs on their new record. Skye's immediate thought was "Nope", but she thought about it a bit, they had a meal together, "got pretty drunk" and agreed "lets make another Morcheeba record".
Stop Complaining
Skye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I cant seem to find the right melody today
I can't make the words fit how I feel
I don't know when
Was the last time that I slept the whole night through
And when morning comes around I feel tired
I woke up from the strangest dream
They said nothing, nada, niente
I'm empty
But Your here and I'm here
So I stop complaining it could be raining
And I see the answer in your eyes
Your here and I'm here
I keep on singing just keep on singing
Singing
Do you know why
I cant seem to find the right melody today?
Can't make the words fit how I feel
Do you know when
Was the last time that I slept the whole night through?
Another morning comes around, I feel tired
I drive down to the rodeo
Gonna ride a bull in a video
But nothing, nada, neiente.
I'm still empty
But your here and I'm here
So I stop complaining it could be raining
And I see the answer in your eyes
Your here and I'm here
I keep on singing just keep on singing
Singing singing singing
In Skye's song "Stop Complaining", the singer expresses her inability to find the right melody and lyrics to fit how she is feeling. She also talks about her sleeplessness and waking up tired every morning. In the second verse, she talks about a dream she had about a dancing dog and a beauty queen who said nothing and left her feeling empty. She then shifts the focus to the fact that she is not alone, and her loved one is with her. Thus, she stops complaining and sees the answer in their eyes. She keeps on singing, even though she feels empty.
The song portrays a common emotion experienced by many people - the feeling of being unable to find the right words or melody to express themselves. Skye's use of imagery in the dream sequence adds a surreal touch to the song. The dream could represent the emptiness the singer feels, and the fact that the dog and beauty queen say nothing could symbolize her inability to find answers.
The overall message of the song is that even though life may be tough and full of struggles, the presence of loved ones can make all the difference. The song is a reminder to keep going and never give up.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know why
I am unsure of the reason
But I cant seem to find the right melody today
I am struggling to come up with a suitable tune
I can't make the words fit how I feel
I am having difficulty expressing my emotions accurately
I don't know when
I am uncertain about a specific time
Was the last time that I slept the whole night through
It has been a while since I have slept soundly all night
And when morning comes around I feel tired
I wake up feeling exhausted
I woke up from the strangest dream
I had a bizarre dream
With a dancing dog and a beauty queen
The dream involved a dog dancing with a beauty queen
They said nothing, nada, niente
The dog and queen did not speak
I'm empty
I am emotionally drained
But Your here and I'm here
Despite everything, we are together in this moment
So I stop complaining it could be raining
I need to stop complaining and be grateful for what we have
And I see the answer in your eyes
I find comfort and reassurance in your gaze
I keep on singing just keep on singing
I will continue to express myself through music
Do you know why
Can you help me understand the reason?
Another morning comes around, I feel tired
I wake up feeling fatigued yet again
I drive down to the rodeo
I go for a drive to clear my head
Gonna ride a bull in a video
I imagine myself riding a bull in a video game
But nothing, nada, neiente.
But it doesn't bring me any satisfaction
I'm still empty
I am still lacking emotional fulfillment
I keep on singing just keep on singing
I will continue to use music as an outlet for my emotions
Singing singing singing
I will sing my heart out until I find peace
