1) Formed in Edinburgh, August 2006. The Vivians were made by long term friends and strangers; Damon, Chris, Kit, Scott & John who are now based in London. With their "gives a fuck" attitude The Vivians do nothing by halves. This attitude may be reminiscent of "punk" although their music refreshingly takes influence from a broader musical spectrum. Twin guitars fighting one another for the rawest, catchiest riff over a disco beat and impassioned vocals of Damon Deville, creating the perfect musical concoction for their exhausting live performances.
2) The Vivians is a rock band from Cleveland, Ohio formed in 1988 who shared members with many of that city’s avant-punk outfits, including Pere Ubu. The “CLE 3X” compilation features their version of Pere Ubu’s “Codex” as well as the original composition “One Eye.” They were also featured on From The Eerie Shore compilation along with Pere Ubu side-project Home And Garden and other local Cleveland post-punk bands.
The Vivians were: drummer Scott Benedict (DWI), vocalist Diane Duncan, guitarist Michelle Temple (Home And Garden, Pere Ubu), and bassist Rae Martello (The Heathers). In the early 90s they toured with bands such as Urge Overkill. In 1995, the band became a duo consisting of only Duncan and Temple. The Vivians also recorded with artists Jim Jones (Pere Ubu, Home And Garden, Easter Monkeys) and Tom Dark (The Dark, Knifedance).

The Sun
The Vivians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We set out for the sun
Why do I care?
Why can't I rest
My head on a shoulder till I'm dead
Why does it matter?
Why can't I stick around until he's gone?
Why do I wait around for this one?
We set out for the sun
We set out for the sun
Give me the protection
Give me peace
Just give me something that I need.
Why does it matter?
Why can't I stick around until we're free?
Why do I wait around for this dream?
Why do I wait around for this one?
In "The Sun" by The Vivians, the lyrics describe a desire to set out on a journey towards something bigger and better, symbolized by the sun. The repetition of the phrase "We set out for the sun" emphasizes the sense of purpose and determination behind this quest. However, the singer also expresses feelings of uncertainty and doubt, wondering why they can't simply stay where they are and rest. The lines "Why does it matter? / Why can't I stick around until he's gone?" suggest a potential conflict or obstacle, perhaps in the form of a person or group that the singer is trying to escape.
The second half of the song takes a more introspective turn, with the singer asking for protection, peace, and something they need. The repetition of "Why does it matter?" reinforces the sense of frustration and confusion, as the singer struggles to understand their own motivations and desires. In the final lines, the singer wonders why they are waiting around for a dream or goal that may never come to fruition.
Overall, the lyrics to "The Sun" are evocative and poetic, hinting at larger themes of longing, ambition, and self-discovery. The song's dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes only add to the sense of yearning and mystery.
