4) Still Life is a Spanish hardcore band from Burgos.
5) Still Life was a British progressive rock band characterized by expert Hammond organ playing, intricate and original vocal harmonies, and an agile and precise rhythm section. The had one self-titled album that was originally released in 1971 and later re-released in 2003. The record was early organ-dominated progressive rock, its lyrical themes dwelling upon uneasy doubt and sadness, the melodies colored with the gothic classicism prevalent in much of the genre during the period. The album credits kept an aura of mystery about their membership. Martin Cure (Martin Cure And The Peeps), and Graham Amos (Rainbows (band)), Terry Howells and Alan Savage were believed to be involved.
6) Still Life were a rock band from Humberside in the United Kingdom. As well as a popular band in their home town they released several critically acclaimed singles and were one of the first UK bands to embrace the internet as a means of advertising and promoting their music.
still life were formed in 1996 by a group of five musicians from Kingston Upon Hull in the UK: Vocalist Paul Terry, drummer Phil Bean, vocalist and bass player James Paddison and guitarists Andy Clark and Mike Richmond. Richmond is credited as lyricist on all of the band's recorded tracks, music was credited to the entire band.
From lowly beginnings in local pubs and clubs, still life rapidly sailed to the top of the local music scene, eventually performing as support for several major acts including Atomic Kitten, Sash! and Fine Young Cannibals. The band finally split up in 2005, with an invite only performance at The Winter Gardens club in Cleethorpes supported by up and coming Hull-based singer songwriter Emma Rugg.
The band's alternative rock sound developed from an early influence of the britpop bands of the time (particularly The Smiths and Suede) into a more mature, experimental sound as the band became more proficient in studio techniques. The band's final release, At The Wheel is considered by many to be their most proficient, featuring the kind of production wizardy that led them to be favourably compared in both the local and national music press to R.E.M. and Queen!
A common misconception, given the band's influences is that they were named after the track Still Life from Suede's Dog Man Star album. In actual fact, the band name was taken by Richmond from another Suede song, "Breakdown" ("Back where the dogs bark, where still life bleeds the concrete white")
Following the break up of the band, guitarist Mike Richmond joined up and coming country rock band The Raindogs, and has recently rejoined former colleagues Clark, Paddison and Terry, along with drummer Mick Harding in new band Circus Envy.
It should be noted that, as in the band's logo, still life was preferred by the band to be written in lower case.

Hole Like The Sky
Still Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside a hole like the sky,
Where I once was.
Now just everything
I never told her
And could not show her.
Thoughts had no weight,
I'm kicking for floor,
There's only distance to fall.
Reaching for the walls,
There's only distance to fall.
She is gone
And I am going.
The lyrics to Still Life's song Hole Like The Sky seem to capture the essence of heartbreak and regret. The singer is lamenting the fact that his lover has left him and he is left with a void that is as infinite and unreachable as the sky. He compares his emotions to an empty space, a void, where he was once whole with her but now that she's gone, there is only emptiness. He is unable to express his true feelings to her and has lost her due to his inability to communicate his love.
The next two lines further establish his regret and inability to convey his feelings. "Now just everything I never told her, And could not show her." He comes to realize that he had never properly expressed his love to her and now it's too late. He was not able to show her his true emotions and now that she's gone, he's left with only his thoughts and regrets. The lines "Thoughts had no weight, Broken words sent her away," are particularly poignant, as they beautifully capture the way in which their relationship fell apart.
The final two lines are perhaps the most intense and emotional of the entire song. "She is gone, And I am going." They seem to indicate a sense of finality, of the singer accepting that he has truly lost her and that he is now slipping away as well. It is a sad, but beautiful portrayal of love lost, and the pain that comes with it.
Line by Line Meaning
She is gone
The person the singer loved is no longer in their life
Inside a hole like the sky,
The void left by the loved one's departure is vast and seemingly endless
Where I once was.
The singer was once with the loved one in the void, but now they are alone
Now just everything
All that remains is
I never told her
The things the singer wished they had said to the loved one while they were together
And could not show her.
The experiences or emotions the singer couldn't convey to the loved one during their time together
Thoughts had no weight,
The singer's innermost feelings and ideas didn't matter or have an impact on the loved one
Broken words sent her away.
Burdens or miscommunications caused the loved one to leave
I'm kicking for floor,
The singer is struggling to keep their balance and stay on their feet
There's only distance to fall.
Without the loved one, the singer feels like they have nothing to stand on and nowhere to go but down
Reaching for the walls,
The singer is trying to grasp onto anything solid or stable in a place that feels unsteady
There's only distance to fall.
Again, the singer feels like they have nothing to hold onto and no way to avoid hitting the ground
She is gone
Reiterated for emphasis - the loved one is no longer in the singer's life
And I am going.
The singer is also leaving, in a negative or melancholy sense
