2-Continued) Definitely influenced by the then innovative american scene, VANILLA stood out with an emotional yet tortured hardcore style; very energetic and personal.

After a few changes in the line-up , the band finds its definitive team in 1999 with former members Yves and Yann Maisonneuve (who were also part of IVICH) , Jean LeBrun(former bass player from 1992 to 1996 , now guitar player since 1999) and Alain Vidal (bass player since 1996) . Yves and Alain were also part of the short-lived band EL VIDAL SONIDO. 2001 is the year of their 3rd album release on Paris-based label SALVATION. This new turn in VANILLA's career marks important changes on a musical level but also on the songwriting field : the members' various influences bring a fresh inspiration yet staying faithful to their hardcore origins (the DISCHORD/Washington DC scene remains an unanimous source of inspiration within the band).

6) Girlband from Indonesia. Member : Ega, Anna, Mutia, ilo, Caca and Carla. Their first single is "Beri Aku Waktu". Vanilla is under Harpa Records and Red Icon Management.

7) A young singer from Quebec, Canada, called Vanille but listed on last.fm as Vanilla -strange bug-. She's influenced by Françoise Hardy, Margo Guryan & Stereolab.

8) Visual Kei band from Japan. Formed in early 2002 by Shinobu. The first demo tape was sold in selected stores in Tokyo on January 15 2002. Another demo tape was distributed at the first live at Shinjuku LOFT
The band had its first oneman live on July 13 at Meguro Rokumeikan right after the release of the first single.
Drummer TAKA left the band in February 2003 in order to marry and retire from the music scene. Shiun from scissor was then invited to join as a support member.
In early 2003 Vanilla collaborated and toured with Fatima and also created an alter ego band titled Le+vanilla.
On July 13 it was announced that the band would cease its activities due to musical differences.

Vanilla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Ever since she moved in down the hall
Ever since she moved in- hall
I can't seem to keep you here at all-
I can't seem to keep you here at all

Ever since she moved in down the hall
Ever since she moved in- hall
I can't seem to keep you here at all-
I can't seem to keep you here at all

And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I cry when they don't-

I can't seem to keep-
And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I-

I can't seem to keep your here at all

Ever since she moved in down the hall
Ever since she moved in- hall
I can't seem to keep you here at all-
I can't seem to keep you here at all

Ever since she moved in down the hall
Ever since she moved in do- all
I can't seem to keep you here at all-
I can't seem to keep you here at all

And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I cry when they don't-

I can't seem to keep-
And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I cry when they don't bring you home to me

With her is not-
Bring you home to me

With her is not-
Bring you home to me

With her is not-
Bring you home to me

To me

And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I cry when they don't-

I can't seem to keep-
And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I cry when they don't bring you home

And the sound of your footsteps coming down-
With her is not - steps coming
And... I cry when they don't-

I can't seem to keep-
And the sound of your footsteps coming down-




With her is not - steps coming
And...

Overall Meaning

"Footsteps" by Vanilla seems to be a heartfelt song about a person who is struggling to hold on to a significant other who has become distant since someone else moved into their shared living space. The singer expresses their frustration and sadness in not being able to keep their partner close like they used to. The repeated line "Ever since she moved in down the hall" emphasizes the impact that this other person's presence has had on the relationship.


The sound of the partner's footsteps, which used to bring comfort and joy, now only serve as a painful reminder of their growing distance. The singer mentions crying when the footsteps don't bring their partner home to them, indicating a longing for the intimacy and connection they once had. The repetition of the line "And the sound of your footsteps coming down" reinforces the theme of longing and loss.
