#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!"

Vanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get a belly ache with you
You're so cute it makes me blue
I'm so weak I'm contemplating taking time away from you
Mind is blurry with the news, that you're leaving me so soon
When I think I'm getting better you get cuter
Guess I'm screwed
Your body's on that hydro beatitude
My mind is on a repeat of your room
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Ooh, you're taking up all of the space, so rude
Your body's on that hydro beatitude
My mind is on a repeat of your room
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
We're not getting younger
So let's fuck it while we can
Time can feel so slow
When we're just hanging in my bed
I call it honeydew
Glad it's you
Sweet and soft, so sensitive
Honeydew, glad it's you
Can we stay here till the end
Drip, drip, drip, drip
drip, drip, drip
drip, drip, drip
Drip, drip, drip, drip
Ooh, you're taking up all of the space, so rude
Your body's on that hydro beatitude
My mind is on a repeat of your room
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Ooh, you're taking up all of the space, so rude
Your body's on that hydro beatitude
My mind is on a repeat of your room
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
Honeydew, honeydew, honeydew, honeydew
Honeydew, honeydew, honeydew, honeydew
Honeydew, honeydew, honeydew, honeydew
Cutie pie, soft and sweet, honeydew
