In 1982, Still Life self-released a two song 10" of repetitive and rhythmic semi-ambient music using both organic and electronic instrumentation.
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.

Still Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hand?
The song Truth by Still Life is a profound and introspective work that explores themes such as the search for meaning, the struggle to break free from societal conditioning, and the need for human connection. The opening lines of the song "This sky is green, this grass is blue. I'll paint this picture and give it all to you" immediately set the tone for the rest of the piece, inviting the listener to question their own perceptions of reality and acknowledging the power of art in putting forth a new perspective. The second verse speaks to the notion of feeling trapped in one's own mind, and the longing to connect with others despite the obstacles that may stand in the way. Finally, the chorus brings together these various themes, declaring the truth of one's feelings while simultaneously acknowledging the fear that comes with vulnerability.
Line by Line Meaning
This sky is green, this grass is blue. I'll paint this picture and give it all to you.
I see the world in a different way than most others do, and I want to share that perspective with you through my art.
When I'm here I feel so free, it's cold out there. Why can't you believe?
I feel most comfortable expressing myself through my art, but others don't always understand or accept it.
It's true, so true. My words fall down.
I speak my truth, but it often goes unheard or dismissed by others.
It's true, I need you. Looking past what I believe.
Despite my independent spirit, I crave validation and support from those close to me, even if they don't necessarily agree with my beliefs or perspective.
Break this silence it brought me to my knees. I'll break past what I've been shown.
The lack of understanding and acceptance I've experienced from others has been emotionally painful and limiting, but I am determined to break free from those constraints.
Now I see that I've finally found a home. Shining star from yesterday fell to the ground, faded away.
Through my struggles and growth, I've found a sense of belonging and purpose. However, I also recognize that certain people or things that once seemed significant have lost their value or disappeared from my life.
Look to the sky to understand. I've got my grip, but I've lost my hand. It's true.
I've gained a clearer and broader perspective on life, but I've also experienced setbacks and losses that have challenged my resolve to keep moving forward.
Take a look inside, I can see what's real. Let loose my pride. Open up my world.
I've learned to trust my own intuition and sense of truth, and I'm willing to be vulnerable and authentic in order to broaden my experiences and connections with others.
In this place of peace, I can understand. Will you look at me, will you take my hand?
When I am able to be true to myself and feel a sense of inner peace, I become more receptive to emotional and physical connections with others, and I hope that someone will be willing to support and accompany me on my journey.

This album was voted hardcore album of the year by Profane Existence, which to me was a big deal, since at the time we had bands like Dystopia, Aus Rotten, dropdead, etc at the front of the anarcho-hc scene that PE represented.
Still Life means more to me than most music, and they continue to inspire me. Maybe it's punk as fuck to express our emotions instead of hide from them. To be at peace with the darkness and uplift the love we feel for others.
Doesn't the machine of capitalism want us all divided and hating each other? Fuck that.
Brandon Chilian
Too bad this band never took off. Another underground gem though. :)
