"Blue Skies is one of the first tracks we wrote for the new album. It came quite easily to us at the start but it was somehow way more of a pop song than any of the songs we'd written before. But in the studio the band had a disagreement about some elements in the song and we couldn't really agree on anything. This song kind of turned into a ticking bomb, whenever somebody mentioned... But after some months we noticed how much we missed it. So we decided to rearrange it and make some drastic changes to be able to make it fit with the other tracks on the album," explains Rökkurró vocalist 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," continues Stefánsdóttir.

"We have performed the track a couple of times live and it was amazing to feel the energy in the venue completely changing. Many people came afterwards and talked to us about this song. I feel people can relate very much to it."


Some praise for Rökkurró:  

“Warm, wonderfully textured” -  Lauren Down on The Guardian (UK)

"Warm and inviting like a thermal spring" - NME (UK)  

"If Rökkurró can keep up this kind of achievement, they’ll soon find themselves standing proudly next to their nation’s greats." - The Line Of Best Fit (UK)  

"Their music does go some way to representing that image in sound, complete with the cold landscape of Iceland outside because the Reykjavik residents create that equally grand and delicate sound that, for some reason, only Nordic bands seem capable of pulling off."  - CMU Daily (UK)

“Rökkurró have a cello-playing frontwoman with a lovely voice and songs to match.” - Clash Magazine (UK)

"Beautiful orchestral sounds" - KEXP Radio (US)
