‘Skyline‘ is the second single from the Icelandic indie musician Myrkvi. His first single ‘Sér um sig’ has been tremendously well received in his home country and has reached 2nd place on the main radio chart in Iceland. ‘Skyline’ is an eventide song. It is about the end of a relationship, its icy slope and helpless free fall, which the song structure resembles. Beautiful and intimate verses drift towards a chorus drop with a sunset groove.
Myrkvi about ‘Skyline’:
“The end station of a relationship is bleak and despairing. There is a certain contrast between the verses and chorus of ‘Skyline’: the verses describe this slow departure “drifting away.. fading out.. sliding downhill..”, while the chorus relates a swift turnaround where the line is cut in one weekend. Relationships can end swiftly but the feelings linger on and the emotional connection needs its own time to fade out.
“I’m losing my baby again and
there’s nothing that I can do.”
Defeated and dejected, luckless in love yet again, I could not have been more demotivated to start again. Writing this song helped me with that and now I’m back on the horse and racing! Melancholy songs can evoke the whole range of emotions, certainly not only the blue ones but also peace and serenity, understanding and empathy, hope and compassion.
An integral part of the process of overcoming difficulties is to have some means of expression.
My outlet has always been music.”
