#1 Die Einflüsse aus dem TripHop der 90er sind bei Vanda nicht zu überhören. Man mag bei den Songs an Größen wie Portishead denken und doch machen Vanda vieles anders. Entstauben den alten Jungen TripHop und befreien ihn von seiner Schwere. Leichter, sanfter schnurpst es bei Vanda aus den Lautsprechern. Die Flächen, der urbane Sound bleiben. Lieder, die nach einem Nachmittag auf dem Dach eines Wolkenkratzers klingen. Bei denen man unwillkürlich an kühles Herbstlicht und lange Autofahrten denken muss. Gut abgeschmeckt das Ganze und ohne die phantastische Stimme von Sängerin Jenny Ochlich nicht denkbar. Wir jubeln. Und sind schwer überzeugt, dass hier selbst das eine oder andere Raubein verzückt einknickt.

Steve Lyon, Produzent von The Cure, Depeche Mode, etc. sagt über VANDA.: “The guys with the most international sound played by a mid-european band, I've heard for a very long time!"

Fairytale
Vanda Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So hard to remember the last time that I felt this bad
Late night in the desert, I broke my heart and took you back
Was I just lonely or was I holding onto the maybe that you once showed me

So I keep, keep on pushing ahead like I don't feel this bad
So I keep, keep on hoping that this is everything I ever wanted
Ever wanted, the fairytale I had in my head
In my head

Lately, I've been thinking about the things I used to love
Somehow I've forgotten what I used to do for fun
Am I just growing out of the old me
Maybe I'm using this as my crutch

So I keep, keep on pushing ahead like I don't feel this bad
So I keep, keep on hoping that this is everything I ever wanted
Ever wanted, the fairytale I had in my head
In my head

In my head
In my head

Was I just lonely or was I holding onto the maybe that you once showed me
I question if my actions resulted from mere loneliness or if I was desperately clinging to the possibility you once offered me

Despite feeling terrible, I continue to persevere and act as if I'm unaffected

So I keep, keep on hoping that this is everything I ever wanted

Somehow I've forgotten what I used to do for fun
In some way, I have managed to forget the things I used to find enjoyable

Am I just growing out of the old me
I question if I'm simply maturing and evolving away from my previous self

Maybe I'm using this as my crutch
Perhaps I'm using my current situation as an excuse or reliance

In my head
All these thoughts and desires are only existing in my mind
