El Perro del Mar was founded in the end of 2003 around the idea and need of making music on terms of one's own. Behind the alter-ego is the sole member Sarah Assbring.
Sarah started out as what is often referred to as an mp3-artist and in spring 2004 the first cdr-ep 'Baby, I've been in a bad place' was released by the then newly started Swedish label Hybris. Two more cdr-ep:s, 'I've got good news' and 'Holiday Special', were released shortly thereafter. In late 2004 the first official ep 'What's new? El Perro del Mar' was released, including the songs 'I can't talk about it', 'This Loneliness' and 'It's all good'. Also around this time, she contributed with the song 'Shake it off' on a joint and very limited split single initiated by friend Jens Lekman. She joined him shortly thereafter as opening act on his tour in Sweden.

In May 2005 all the previous unofficial and official releases were gathered to form the compilation album 'Look! It's El Perro del Mar!'. Later that year the ep 'God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get) was released, including the songs 'God Knows', 'Do the Dog' and 'Say'. In December El Perro del Mar and Jenny Wilson performed together in the winter concert 'Under a Starlit Sky' at Södra Teatern in Stockholm. During spring 2006 a reworked version of the album was released in England and Europe by British label Memphis Industries. Around this time El Perro del Mar went touring as support act for José Gonzalez as well as on her own. By the end of 2006 the self-titled album was released in the U.S. as well as in Australia and New Zealand. The album received rave reviews. El Perro del Mar also had the opportunity to make a short yet highly successful tour in Brazil. In spring 2007 El Perro del Mar toured the U.S. together with her band consisting of Jesper Jarold(Fontän), Björn Synneby(pacific!) and Jon Ölmeskog(Silverbullit). El Perro del Mar left the label Hybris and found a new home on Licking Fingers, the Concretes own label. It was time for new ideas and new ways. During the spring and summer of 2007 the much longed-for work on the second album 'From the Valley to the Stars' began. The recordings as well as the producing were done by El Perro herself in her own studio in Gothenburg. With the exception of a trip around India in the fall the intense work on the album lasted until December 2007.

Candy

Oh I think it's so hard trying to figure out what
They want me to do
I've spent most of my days only to deny
What I know inside is true

Oh I think it's so hard trying to get around what
They want me to be
I've done just about all trying to care about
Everyone else except me

I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy now

On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy

Oh I make it so hard getting clear about
What it is I want me to do
One day I’ll get myself out in the sunshine
Then I’ll get rid of the blues

I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy some candy now

On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night

I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy now
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy

Here comes that feeling

(d.burnette / j.osborn)

Here comes that feeling again
And it ain't right
That lonely feeling that came
To me last night
It hurts to see you
In the arms of my friend
Here comes that lonely
Lonely feeling again

I saw you last night
In a drive-in way downtown
Locked in her arm
You didn't know I was around
Alone in my room
I remember where you've been
Here comes that lonely
Lonely feeling again

I've got to get rid of this lonely feeling
That makes me feel the way I do when a day is done
One day you're gonna know what it means to be
Lonesome
You're gonna want me back while I’m having fun

Here comes that feeling again
And it ain't right
A lonely feeling that came
To me last night
It hurts to see you
In the arms of my friend
Here comes that lonely
Lonely feeling again
Oh, I’m so lonely
I feel that feeling
I feel that feeling
Alright...
Oh yeah...

Do Not Despair

The stars send a message from the far above
I think it’s a lesson that’s filled with your love

Half of the world is asleep, is awake
Do not despair, do not despair
Today’s gone to bed and tomorrow’s unmade
Do not despair, do not despair

A last breath is taken, a first one is drawn
Do not despair, do not despair
Your loved one has left, a new one will come
Do not despair, do not despair

This is the lesson that comes from above
Do not despair, do not despair
You send the message, the message of love
Do not despair, do not despair

Somebody's baby

Somebody's baby
Somebody's baby

You was somebody's baby but
You went back into the sky
Want somebody's daddy but
You kissed them all goodbye
There's an end for everything
There's an answer for everyone
Just like the day when you was born
You will oh always be

Somebody's baby
Somebody's baby now
Somebody's baby
Somebody's baby now

Somebody's baby
Somebody's baby now
Somebody's baby
Somebody's baby now

Somebody's baby now
Somebody's baby now
Somebody's baby now
Somebody's baby now...

Tell me when
Can I see you again
Tell me how
Far did you go
And did you find
A new place to stay
Please make sure you let me know the way

You know they say
Possibly
You won't meet again
Most certainly
This was the last time
But he's too open
You was happy to go

Into the sunshine
Into the sunshine
Into the sunshine
Into the sunshine...

Someday I'll understand (love will be my mirror)

Someday I will know much better
And I won't need a mirror
To know if this is love

That day
All I need will be here
I won't have to ask you
And I will understand

Look up, baby look up
It's there
Look up, baby look up
It's there

Someday I will know much better
But I won't need a mirror
To tell if this is real

That day
All I need will be here
I won't have to search more
I will understand

Baby love will be my mirror
Love will be my mirror
Love will be my mirror

Look up, it's there
Look up, baby, look up
It's there
Look up, baby look up
It's there
Look up baby look up
It's there

Your name is neverending

You are a memory
These days it's all you are
I have a memory
Sometimes it's all I've got
Don't mean it's over
Don't mean it's over
Don't mean it's over
Just mean you're never-ending
It means it's never-ending...

Gotta Get Smart

I've got something to tell you
Don't wanna make you sad
I've got something to tell you
Don't wanna make you mad
We've been together for so long
Don't wanna break your heart
We've been together for so long
I gotta get smart

Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do

I've got something to tell you
Don't wanna cause a scene
I've got something to tell you
I know it sounds mean
We've been together for so long
I hate to break your heart
We've been together for so long
I gotta get smart

And
I'm done
I'm done
Thinking it over
I know we said we'd give it a try
It hurts now but deep down inside
We both know it's better to part than live in a lie

So
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on

Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on

Change of Heart

Her hand in the darkness
I follow for so long
Your voice in my ear
Carry me back home

Wishing you'd consider
A change of heart
But all are so bitter
And we will never stop

We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop

A light in the darkness
Been dreaming for so long
Searching for a witness
Or means to carry on

Sweet talk for hours
About things we're gonna do
And sometimes I lose track of my heart
But this could never work out, oh oh

Never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop

We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop

Her hand in the darkness
Follow for so long
Your voice in my ear
Help me back home
Why won't you consider
A change of heart

A change of heart
A change of heart
A change of heart…

Heavenly Arms

( Lou Reed Cover )

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Heavenly arms entice you to dance
In a world of ill will, the dancers are still
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms soft as a love song
Heavenly arms bring a kiss to your ear
In a world that seems mad, all the dancers seem sad
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia, Sylvia
Sylvia, Sylvia

Heavenly arms come to my rescue
Only a woman can love a man
In a world full of hate, love should never wait
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms strong as a sunset
Heavenly arms pure as the rain
Lovers stand warned of the world's impending storm
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia, Sylvia
Sylvia, Sylvia

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Sylvia, you mean so much to me
Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Sylvia, you mean so much to me
Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Sylvia, you mean so much to me
Heavenly arms reach out to hold me

A Better Love

This isn't over 'til I say when

I know we could've had it then
Then

Better love
Better love
A better love comes back
To better love
Better love
To better love comes back

This isn't over 'til I say when
When
When

You know we both changed a lot since then
Then
Then

Somehow I lost what I felt back then
Then
Then

And honey, you deserve better than
Me
Me

Better love
A better love
A better love than me
You deserve a better love
A better love
A better love than me

Caused you so much pain
Pain

This isn't over 'til I say when
When

Shelter

(The XX cover / Live)

I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Could I be
Was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown
Whenever you leave
Please teach me gently
How to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I seel it too
