THE M… Read Full Bio ↴The Murder Of My Sweet is a Gothic Symphonic band from Sweden.
THE MURDER OF MY SWEET - A name inspired by the 1944 movie Murder, My Sweet. The path, beliefs and concept which the five members of the band share - the journey each of the members has endured finally led them to one another, building up to this point, to realizing common goals.
Formed by drummer, songwriter and producer Daniel Flores who after a few false starts of what was to become The Murder Of My Sweet just by coincidence came across the magnificent singer Angelica Rylin - well endowed with the right look, voice and talents, being exactly what Daniel was searching for. The rest of The Murder Of My Sweet’s line up was then rather easily recruited - guitarist Daniel Palmqvist, bass player Johan Niemann and keyboardist Andreas Lindahl all being mentally, creatively and spiritually the right combination to complete the perfect match.
The Murder Of My Sweet is simple yet stirring musical statement that expands the boundaries of what great music is all about. The band’s sound is rich in influence and yet distinctly unique. The lush melodic cinematic landscapes reflect the diversity of the five members own musical experiences. From Angelica’s soaring vocal melodies and sweeping choruses to the explosive layers of guitars from Palmqvist and the thrilling orchestratic keyboard arrangements painted by Andreas Lindahl backed by the bombastic and dynamic rhythms of Niemann and Flores. The resulting collaborations are a work both haunting and uplifting - fuelled by the curiosity of seeing where their burning ambitions will take them.
The material is mainly written by the wonder team Daniel and Angelica - but not without the inspiration spark and input from the other three members - with songs based on personal experiences, movies and books. The collection of material which has been selected for the bands debut album DIVANITY include all from dark subject matters to pure fiction. Kiss of Death takes a glimpse into the state of love where you give up your self for the desire to have or to do something that you know you should avoid while Bleed Me Dry describes the feeling of being different and wanting to go your own way in life. Follow The Rain is all about breaking a pattern from where you make the same mistakes over and over again into becoming a person with control of your life. The track Storms Of The Sea is a beautiful tale of a young woman on her quest around the world to seek her long lost lover and No Evil is the band’s encouragement to embrace the dark rather than being afraid of it.
The grand finale of the album is the larger than life and described by Rylin and Flores as The Murder Of My Sweet’s own “Bohemian Rhapsody” - a track call Death Of A Movie Star. A massive piece of music which will showcase The band’s dynamics with a sense of playfulness by switching from soft, rippling sounds and beats to limitless rage with beautiful melodies. Magnificent layers of voices shake hands with immeasurable capacity of energy.
The band’s aim is to create a distorted film noir vibe and experience - put the wonder, sadness, humor and sheer zest of life into their music tour de force. Playing it to the point where their drama explode - as the music and the words becomes the utmost expression of direct and ecstatic joy of pure being. The name DIVANITY is the bands own expression of diva, divine and vanity - all of them being essential ingredients in their debut album.
Mixed/produced by Flores and proudly mastered at Cutting Room by Swedish phenomenal sound engineer Mats Lindfors (Gorgoroth, Candlemass, Glenn Huges, Talisman), Divanity will be released by Frontiers Records in November 2009. The Murder Of My Sweet is highly excited to be working with such an experienced and talented label as Frontiers and feel extremely privileged to be band mates with bands such as Journey, Toto and Survivor to mention just a few.

Everyone Wins
The Murder of My Sweet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sinners, haters, poker players
Feed us candy, fools us dandy
You've got to give it up
To celebrate the peace
You've got to tend that stormy cloud
But everyone sins, everyone does
Down the core, same
When everyone wins, everyone loves
Hand on heart, truth
Blood is red unless your kind is blue
No matter what
The world depends on you
Lawyers handy when you're trending
Losers buy guns, trigger happy
You've got to give it up
To celebrate the peace
You've got to tend that stormy cloud
We are all saints
But everyone sins, everyone does
Down the core, same
When everyone wins, everyone loves
Hand on heart, truth
Blood is red unless your kind is blue
No matter what
The world depends on you
Must be a reason for this generation clash
Oh why?
Who is the winner in this endless crashing plane?
No one
We are all saints
But everyone sins, everyone does
Down the core, same
When everyone wins, everyone loves
Hand on heart, truth
Blood is red unless your kind is blue
No matter what
The world depends on you
All saints
But everyone sins, everyone does
Down the core, same
When everyone wins, everyone loves
Hand on heart, truth
Blood is red unless your kind is blue
No matter what
The world depends on you
The lyrics of "Everyone Wins" by The Murder of My Sweet delve deep into the complexities of human nature and society, exploring themes of sin, love, and the individual's impact on the world. The song opens with a provocative statement that everyone wins, suggesting that in life, there are no clear-cut winners or losers, as even sinners, haters, and poker players find a way to come out on top. The idea of feeding on candy and being fooled dandy hints at the illusions and superficial pleasures that can distract us from reality.
The chorus emphasizes the duality within each person, acknowledging that while we are all capable of being saints, we also fall into sin. This universal truth is underscored by the assertion that everyone loves when everyone wins, highlighting the interconnectedness of human experiences and emotions. The call to give up and tend to the stormy cloud symbolizes the need to address and resolve internal conflicts or challenges in order to achieve inner peace and harmony.
The lyrics touch upon societal issues such as the prevalence of lawyers and violence, suggesting a dark underbelly of human behavior that contrasts with the idealistic notion of celebrating peace. The reference to losers buying guns and being trigger happy serves as a stark reminder of the destructive consequences of unchecked aggression and conflict. Despite these grim realities, the song maintains a sense of optimism by affirming that the world depends on each individual to make a positive impact and contribute to a greater good.
As the song progresses, it questions the reasons behind generational clashes and the futility of seeking a definitive winner in the tumultuous chaos of life. The realization that no one emerges victorious in the endless crashing plane reflects a sobering recognition of the inherent struggles and uncertainties that pervade existence. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a message of unity and shared humanity, emphasizing that despite our flaws and differences, we are all interconnected and responsible for shaping the world around us. The repeated refrain of "The world depends on you" serves as a powerful reminder of the individual's agency and potential to drive positive change and create a more compassionate and inclusive society.

Everyone wins
In the end, everyone comes out victorious
Sinners, haters, poker players
People from all walks of life
Feed us candy, fools us dandy
Sometimes we are deceived by sweet words and false promises
You've got to give it up
One must let go of past grudges to find peace
To celebrate the peace
Embrace harmony and unity
You've got to tend that stormy cloud
Work to resolve conflicts and confrontations
We are all saints
We all have the capacity for goodness

Down the core, same
Deep down, we are all alike
When everyone wins, everyone loves
Love and unity are fostered by mutual success
Hand on heart, truth
Honesty and integrity are essential
Blood is red unless your kind is blue
We are all human, regardless of our differences
No matter what
Regardless of obstacles or challenges
The world depends on you
The world relies on the actions of individuals
Lawyers handy when you're trending
Legal representation is important in times of trouble
Losers buy guns, trigger happy
Danger arises when people act out of frustration
Must be a reason for this generation clash
There is a underlying cause for conflicts between generations
Oh why?
Questioning the reasons behind discord
Who is the winner in this endless crashing plane?
In the chaos, it is difficult to determine who is truly victorious
No one
Ultimately, no one emerges as the ultimate winner
