Premiere: Rökkurró – Blue Skies

Blue Skies

Icelandic band Rökkurró strike a majestic and cinematic-styled bit of dark orchestral pop on brand new single “Blue Skies”. Taken from the band’s forthcoming album – the follow-up to 2010’s Í Annan Heim which spent over 100 weeks in the Top 30 of Iceland’s album charts, the wistful and emotionally precise “Blue Skies” was recently explained thematically by singer Hildur Kristín Stefánsdóttir, “The lyrics talk about fulfilling your dreams and the fact that these dreams can die, if you don’t nurture them. I was having a bad day and had this feeling of when things are slipping out of your hands. I noticed that the dress I was wearing had a blue skies pattern on it and it straight away inspired me to write this line: “Blue skies, all your dreams are dying, blue skies, come and bring them back to life.” It was an instant reminder of how you sometimes just need to snap out of it and remember that blue skies are always there.” We’re very pleased to premiere “Blue Skies” below.
