Dagenlang speelde deze song regelmatig 'zomaar' in mijn hoofd, maar waarom?
Hiernaast twee uitvoeringen. Ik bekeek eerst de prachtige filmische uitvoering, maar pas toen ik de live uitvoering zag begreep ik meteen waarom deze song zo aanhoudend bij mij binnen / langs komt / kwam..
Nee, er is niets ....
Ultravox's 1981 classic is one of the greatest synthpop songs of all time, and there's never been anything quite like it since.
'Vienna' was a dramatic electronic track that caught the imagination of the public, and became the group's biggest hit.
Walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
