And I am actually releasing the song the day before his birthday. And growing up, I was always singing with him, writing songs to him when he was sick, to uplift him where he was. My father who was my best friend and mirror in life, battled cancer for a long period of time. The story behind Singing without You, comes from a very personal place. Can you tell us the story behind this song? I like the fusion of all these different kinds of music, and I feel like they have influenced my appreciation for just music in general. My musical influencers come from different parts of the world, from USA, Middle East, Europé, Africa and even Latin America. I have always listened to different kinds of music. How would you describe your musical leanings, past, present or future? Made me understand myself better and the world around me. So I started singing about all of these things. I always thought it was easier to express what I felt in melodies and words being sung. Music has always been my escape, comfort zone and home. I’ve always been very positive as a person, but you know, when my father passed, I drowned in that sorrow for a while. I started writing songs about the world, the people around me, what they were feeling and how I wanted to see the world. I realized when I was younger that God blessed me with a sensitive spirit to the things around me. I actually started writing my own songs when I was nine. And I have been singing a lot of worship/gospel music as well. I grew up listening to a lot of Arabic music at home. I started singing when I was a little baby, and I shared my singing together with my dad, who had a beautiful voice. Music has always been a very natural part of me. How did you first get into music? Have you always been drawn to it? Besides music and my family, my faith has been a strong and important pillar in my life. In our warm home, we have always had some sort of an ideology that nothing is out of reach – my parents taught me and my younger sisters that the word ”impossible” is overrated. (I bet you’ve never heard the name of that town ever). I’m just your ordinary gal who grew in a small town in Sweden called Skövde.
Hi Eylie! Firstly, how old are you and what is your personal background? We spoke with Eylie about her upbringing, the story behind “Singing Without You” and what’s next for her in life.
The touching story is reflected in the music video, which is a collection of real footage from their personal home videos. This track in particular is a classic soul-pop ballad, bringing the classic emotionality of the piano, interspersed with heavenly harmonies, rich vocals and honest lyricism. Having grown up in a musical household, listening to diverse influences from Arabic music to gospel, it is no mystery how Eylie is able to channel this powerful energy in her music, with a crisp sense of modernity. The expansive and beautiful “Singing Without You” is a soulful tune that walks you through the essential “day one” father daughter relationship and Eylie’s perseverance throughout her daily life. The song is a calm yet expansive tribute to her father, whom she lost to cancer and whose life she commemorates with this song, the day before his birthday. Get ready: Swedish singer and songwriter, Eylie, is here to deliver all of the feels with a brand new music video and heartstring-tugging single, “Singing Without You”.
