In 2010 the band got in contact with Grammy Award Winning producer Chris Laney at Polar Studios, Stockholm.
He wanted to produce the band, and I quote …
”You guys possess a sound like no other Swedish band, I love your gift for pop melodies and you’re doing it without losing the cool spirit of rock”.
In December the same year TND won Sweden’s biggest rock band contest “Bandit Unsigned” and got the opportunity to sign a major record deal with Warner Music. TND released two singles on Warner Music and made a Swedish tour.
In 2012 the band realized they wanted to refresh and modernize their image and sound. TND contacted producer Dino Medanhodzic in purpose to create a new modern rock/pop sound with influences from the Electro wave that strongly affected parts of the band. TND recorded the debutalbum "Sound Of A Broken Heart" with Dino in Radionika Studios and released the first single "Miss U" on Cosmos Music in March 2013.
Sthlm
The Neverdies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make a living for tonight
Rain falls down
People look so cold and grey
Everything's like everyday
I'm far away
Coz I'm gonna live my life
I will loose control
Max my stereo
I'm gonna let the champagne flow
A bottle full of dreams
Brings my soul to Stockholm
Broken heart and on my own
Delete my number from your phone
Coz I'm alright
Even though I miss that kiss
All I see is opportunities, oh yeah
Coz I'm gonna live my life
Anywhere I go
I will lose control
Max my stereo
I'm gonna let the champagne flow
A bottle full of dreams
Brings my soul to Stockholm
Yeah I'm gonna use my time
In any way I want
Have myself a ball
Just dont care at all
And let this heavy rythm flow
A bottle full of dreams
Brings my soul to Stockholm
Jump right into my dreams
To find out what it means
To fly and dare to fall
To fear nothing at all
Unlimited and high
Brighter than the sky
Never be a shadow
The song "Sthlm" by The Neverdies is a fast-paced track about living life to the fullest and chasing your dreams. The song describes the feeling of being on your own, with the rain falling down and everyone around you seeming "cold and grey". However, the singer is determined to make the most of their life wherever they go, and they are not afraid to "lose control" and "let the champagne flow".
The chorus repeats the lines "A bottle full of dreams, brings my soul to Stockholm", which could be interpreted as the singer's ultimate goal or destination. The idea of Stockholm as a symbolic destination goes beyond the actual city, and represents a state of mind, where the singer's dreams can come true.
Line by Line Meaning
Walking at the speed of light
Moving quickly and with purpose
Make a living for tonight
Making the most of the present moment
Rain falls down
Observing the weather and surroundings
People look so cold and grey
Noticing the emotions of others
Everything's like everyday
Feeling stuck in a routine
I'm far away
Mentally and emotionally distant from the present moment
Coz I'm gonna live my life
Taking control of one's own life and choices
Anywhere I go
Having the freedom to travel and explore
I will lose control
Letting go and having fun
Max my stereo
Listening to music loudly and passionately
I'm gonna let the champagne flow
Indulging in the pleasures of life
A bottle full of dreams
An optimistic outlook on the future
Brings my soul to Stockholm
Finding happiness in a specific place or experience
Broken heart and on my own
Dealing with emotional pain and isolation
Delete my number from your phone
Cutting ties with someone who caused pain
Coz I'm alright
Feeling confident and secure in oneself
Even though I miss that kiss
Reflecting on past romantic experiences
All I see is opportunities, oh yeah
Having a positive outlook on the future
Yeah I'm gonna use my time
Making the most of one's time and opportunities
In any way I want
Not conforming to societal expectations or norms
Have myself a ball
Having fun and enjoying oneself
Just don't care at all
Not worrying about the opinions of others
And let this heavy rhythm flow
Getting lost in music and movement
Jump right into my dreams
Taking risks and pursuing one's aspirations
To find out what it means
Discovering the unknown and learning more about oneself
To fly and dare to fall
Taking chances and accepting the possibility of failure
To fear nothing at all
Being fearless and confident in oneself
Unlimited and high
Having endless possibilities and potential
Brighter than the sky
Being optimistic and positive
Never be a shadow
Standing out and being unique
