SMASH INTO PIECES truly makes modern rock, combining the phenomenal vocal and lyrical depth of Chris Adam Hedman Sörbye with the aggressive yet melodic guitar attacks from Benjamin Jennebo and Per Bergquist, and the hard hitting combination of bassist Viktor Vidlund and drummer Isak Snow.
The band reached the semifinal of the Swedish version of “Sweden got talent” in 2009 but dropped out of the competition to sign a record deal with Ninetone Records. Things however really didn’t work out as planned and the collaboration with the label came to a end after just one released single “Fading” – a song still gaining a great deal of attention and airplay, especially from the leading rock radio station Bandit 106.3.
The band picked up superb feedback from their hugely energetic live shows and in a short amount of time the band had the pleasure of sharing stage with among others Dead By April, Twisted Sisters, Teddybears Sthm, Raised Fists, Mustasch, Treat and many more.
Their first full length international album release came in 2013 with Unbreakable. Further headline tours of Sweden, Finland and the other Nordic countries followed along with support tours of the rest of Europe with Amaranthe
The second album The Apocalypse DJ was released in 2015 and another extensive tour cycle continued alongside. For the first time the band were able to complete a full headline Europe wide tour.
The third album is due for release at some point in 2016 but there has been no confirmed date at this point. The band announced that Isak Snow had left the band on 1st April 2016. Most people thinking this was a joke of some sort awaited further news. The band announced on the 6th of April that there was a new drummer that had joined the band. The only name given at this stage has shown that The Apocalypse DJ has descended and joined the band. No other information is known at this stage.
SMASH INTO PIECES is a must – and will definitely thrive in a larger setting – their sound much definitive says arena. Together, their talent and chemistry will not be ignored or denied.
Save it for the living
Smash Into Pieces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All is stop, I guess I'm dead
All of the pain gone
Think I'm a ghost now
I hear your thoughts, I bid farewell
I see you cry, I feel like hell
I want you to be strong
Don't sacrifice the rest of your life missing me
Wish I could see you happy
Get on with your life without me
Think of me as something beautiful
Not the bitter end
All the reason why you feel the life is broken
So hear me (please hear me)
I don't want your love - save it for the living
What ghost around will come around
Cause you don't wanna let it go
I hear you calling
Wish I could take it
Why are your mind next to my grave
Like I'm the one you need to save
Look at yourself now
Why do you feel proud?
Don't sacrifice the rest of your life missing me
I wish I could see you happy
Get on with your life without me
Think of me as something beautiful
Not the bitter end
All the reason why you feel the life is broken
So hear me (please hear me)
I don't want your love - save it for the living
(You save it for the living)
I want you to feel the emptiness inside, while your alive
I want you to find someone to take my place
I want you to...
Save it for the living
You save it for the living
Save it for the living
(ooh)
See you on the other side
See you on the other side
Wish I could see you happy
Get on with your life without me
Think of me as something beautiful
Not the bitter end
All the reason why you feel the life is broken
So hear me (please hear me)
I don't want your love - save it for the living
(So hear me, so hear me)
You save it for the living
(So hear me, so hear me)
Save it for the living
The song "Save it for the living" by Smash Into Pieces explores the subject of death and how it affects the lives of the living who are left behind. The first line "I see me in my final bed, all is stop, I guess I'm dead" immediately sets the tone of the song. The lyrics talk about how the singer feels like a ghost now that he is dead and how he wants his loved one to be strong, even though he knows that seeing them cry makes him feel like hell. He wants to be remembered as something beautiful and not the bitter end.
The chorus "All the reason why you feel the life is broken, so hear me (please hear me), I don't want your love - save it for the living" reinforces the theme of the song. The singer is trying to say that he is gone and does not want his loved one to sacrifice their life missing him. He wants them to save their love for the living, instead of dwelling on what they have lost.
The song addresses the issue of grief and how it can hold someone back from living life fully. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of letting go and moving on, while still honoring the memory of the departed.

Why do you think that I'm the only one who can save you from your emotional turmoil?
Look at yourself now
Reflect on your own actions and emotions
Why do you feel proud?
Why are you holding onto my death and grieving excessively?
I want you to feel the emptiness inside, while your alive
I want you to experience the pain and void of my absence while you are still alive, so you can move past it
I want you to find someone to take my place
I hope that you can find a person who can give you the same love and support that I did, even if I'm not there
Save it for the living
Direct your love and affection towards people who are still alive and need it, rather than towards my memory
See you on the other side
I believe that we will meet again in the afterlife

Love the lyrics ♡

This band was first introduced to me by an ex who I thought would be with me forever.
And this song reminds me of the love I used to feel for her.
I loved her, she betrayed me and she killed my heart.
So this song to me feels like it’s my heart speaking out to me.
Because I turned cold, bitter, angry and there’s darkness in my soul.
My heart, even when it’s dead.
I think it’s telling me that there’s still hope.
No matter how immersed in darkness I am right now.
It feels as if my heart is telling me that eventually there will be light.
... There will be love.
Even if I can’t see it right now.

1) Whoever says there is no good music these days should listen to this song; 2) Why can't I hear bands like Smash Into Pieces, Starset, Red on the commercial radios? Luckily there is internet.

Chris’s vocal range is absolutely insane. SIP is a rare and incredibly talented band. A sound of they’re own that invigorates the soul. And that’s what music is all about.
Dylan White
I knew there was something about it that drew me to this band. I think with enough practice I could possibly do something similar to his vocal range, I already have a pretty easy time with highs. That being said I also feel it’s largely because I have 5 vocal chords (normal is 2-3) so I wonder if he may have an extra chord or two like I do. It’d certainly be awesome to get a chance to learn from him.
