First samples of their work appeared on Soundcloud in April 2012, after that their career took off: Oliver Koletzki was pretty impressed by their samples and signed them for his Label "Stil vor Talent". HVOB had their debut appearance at the "Urban Art Forms"-Festival in Graz, Austria. After that, they appeared at "Melt!" in Germany where they were signed by the "Four Artists" agency.
The Duo consists of Anna Müller - who composes, produces and sings for their tracks - and Paul Wallner who gives the finishing touches to their songs in his own studio. HVOB always performs live on stage, accompanied by a drummer.
Moon
HVOB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are hiding on the far side of the moon
We are hiding on the far side of the moon
We are hiding on the far side of the moon
How far we go
How far we go
How far we go
How far we go
How far we go
How far we go
How far we go
(How far we go) we are hiding on the far side of the moon
(How far we go) we are hiding on the far side of the moon
(How far we go) we are hiding on the far side of the moon
(How far we go) we are hiding on the far side of the moon
"HVOB's Moon" is a song that leaves much of its meaning up to interpretation. The lyrics themselves are simple and repetitive, with only three lines being repeated throughout the entire song, followed by a mysterious question about how far they will go. However, it is the tone of the song that gives it a haunting and somewhat eerie atmosphere.
The first line of the chorus, "We are hiding on the far side of the moon," can be interpreted in a few ways. It could be seen as a commentary on the human condition, with people hiding their true selves, motivations, or past mistakes from the rest of the world. The far side of the moon represents the darkness or unknown aspect of a person's inner self. Alternatively, the song could be a metaphor for a relationship or even a global issue. The line could represent a couple's desire to be alone and away from prying eyes, or it could be a statement about the environmental or sociopolitical issues happening in the world, with the far side of the moon being analogous to an uninhabitable or unnoticed part of the planet.
The repetitive nature of the lyrics, with the same lines being sung over and over again, adds to the sense of disconnect within the song. The repetition also pulls listeners into a hypnotic state, allowing them to dive deeper into their own interpretations of the song's meaning. The final refrain of the song, questioning how far they will go, again leaves open the possibility for multiple interpretations based on the listener's perspective.

When life sucks but u know everything is going to be okay

This song give's me a huge feeling of longing to a group of special people that I met when I was an exchange student, people who taught me that loving yourself and having fun sometimes is something that we have to do every now and then, they taught me that a hug can help a lot and can give a big feeling of happiness and comfort, I'm thankful for these people and for the good people in my life.
To whoever reading this comment, hard times in life will pass, no matter what. Live and enjoy the moment and make everything simple so it becomes simple.

Whenever I’m having a bad time I listen to a playlist including this song to remember that time yet the best of my life and remember how I spent it amongst people I truly loved, by the time I lost the meaning of life but I learned great valuable life lessons, it’s not about how much time you spend with people but how you do spend with them and how you could get along in no time as if you’ve known each others for decade, and that life shouldn’t always have a meaning but having the great people you spend the greatest time of your life with beholds the meaning of life within itself, no words could describe how I truly love you my friend and how much I’m aspiring we could get along again
Till that time
My one and only resort should be the memories I spent with you

Questo pezzo ti entra nel deep più profondo e non ti molla più ... tanta roba per davvero.

This is not just random noise being thrown around on YouTube in order to grab a few 👍 This is art as far as I'm concerned ❤💛💙 very much relevant to our very own day-to-day lives still in 2023. The time has come to finally put the headphones on and actually listen for a change! Music is not just a medicine for the mind, heart or soul... regardless of your genre. It is a game changer in one's life should one use it wisely 😇 In a world where everybody lies, we may very well still have HVOB on our side to help us along 🙌

Es un tema muy elegante y nostálgico. Motivante e inspirador. A mi opinión y gusto muy bien construido y muy bueno entre sus propios tiempos!

i used to listen this song 9 years ago when I was fucking depressed then I have forbidden myself to listen to this song during years because it reminded me this bad period and also because this song has something sad in the background. but now I feel better and I enjoy to listen it telling myself that I go out of it and that makes me feel happy ❤
