Billie the vision & the dancers
Billie the vision and the dancers is band about Pablo, Lilly and Jessica. About the Billies and on-going stories. They sing with ghosts, witches, nightmares and friends. Dancing under Scandinavian melodies.
I must confess, their songs have been the soundtrack of my last weeks. Delicious compositions. If you over-listen they could just sound as another cute-pop band, but there is so much more to enjoy there.
Many artists chop their stories to fit the songs. Not them. Their music flows within the story, giving it the color and the mood. It looks like that for the Billies these are more than songs, they are stories, after all. For being stories, the songs have some unusual metrics and rhymes which I liked very much.
Impeccable instrumental inserts, backing vocals and extremely beautiful passages complement the atmosphere. It is also an enjoyable experience to discover citations within the songs and interpret lyrics’ strong ideas.
So, we meet at the Nobel Square?
There are many songs, so I just selected a few I like to put here:
- I’m on the Road (Where the Ocean Meets My Hand)
- My Love (Where the Ocean Meets My Hand)
- A Man From Argentina (The World According To Pablo)
- Ask For More (I Was So Unpopular In School and Now They’re Giving Me This Beautiful Bicycle)
- I Belong To You (I Used to Wander These Streets)
- Want to cannot Help but Dance (I Was So Unpopular In School and Now They’re Giving Me This Beautiful Bicycle)
- Jackass (I Was So Unpopular In School and Now They’re Giving Me This Beautiful Bicycle)

ps: I’m not sure, it just came into my mind, I think there is something on them that reminds me of the Crash Test Dummies.
