Via Audio was formed in 2003 in between classes at the infamous Berklee College of Music in Boston. After releasing a self-titled EP on the small independent Kill Normal Records in 2004, the band first garnered attention when Death Cab for Cutie’s guitarist Chris Walla dubbed them his “new favorite band,” in his column for Under the Radar Magazine.
They soon after caught the attention of Spoon drummer Jim Eno, who would become their longtime producer, collaborator and comrade. With Eno’s help behind the board, Via Audio released their first full-length, Say Something, in 2007 on California-based indie label Sidecho Records. Pitchfork Media described Say Something as having “such a beautiful gloss over everything that it sticks, hurts, and feels delicious" and the album received accolades from Spin, Nylon, Under the Radar, Alternative Press, theTripwire, and Stereogum, among others. The band has since toured the U.S. and Japan alongside the likes of Spoon, White Rabbits, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Ha Ha Tonka, and Modern Skirts, making appearances at the South By Southwest, Monolith, and CMJ festivals.
Shutting themselves up again in Eno’s Austin, Texas home studio in 2009, the group tackled their latest songbook- the lo-fi electronics of “Digital,” the soul-infused funk of “Goldrush,” the ethereal surf-lament of “Wanted,” the glittery R&B pop of “Babies”- as Eno carefully and artfully crafted different sonic palettes for each unique song on Animalore. The result is an album that plays like a pop-up book for adults, bursting with vivid colors and secret corridors at the turn of every page.
From Clouds
Via Audio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I hear your voice when I’m awake
You’re more than just a voice,
Because I’ve seen the sun light up your face.
More than just a memory
You came out from the clouds of my dream
Always something more to give me
The first thing that I heard
My train departed never to return
The new year rolling in
The strangers in the dark had much to learn
More than just a memory
You came out from the clouds of my dream
Always something more to give me
Come out
From the clouds
(repeat)
A blinking of the eyes
And 15 years of dreaming came and went
Remembering those times,
I can’t recall a moment of regret
More than just a memory
You came out from the clouds of my dream,
Always something more to give me
Come out
From the Clouds
(repeat)
The lyrics of Via Audio's song "From Clouds" suggest a symbol of hope and a message about the power of dreams. The lines "You’re more than just a dream/Because I hear your voice when I’m awake/You’re more than just a voice/Because I’ve seen the sun light up your face" describe the impact that someone has on the singer, an effect that cannot be explained away as just a figment of the imagination. The metaphor of clouds is used to convey the idea of something that is intangible or seemingly impossible becoming a reality. The line "You came out from the clouds of my dream/Always something more to give me" reinforces this idea, suggesting that the person is not just a product of the singer's imagination, but that they offer tangible benefits and gifts.
There is a sense of time passing in the song, with the lines "The first thing that I heard/My train departed never to return/The new year rolling in/The strangers in the dark had much to learn" suggesting that the singer is looking back on a time of change and transition. However, even as years pass, the impact of the person in question remains strong. The phrase "A blinking of the eyes/And 15 years of dreaming came and went" suggests that time has flown by, but the singer's admiration and affection for the person remains constant.
Overall, the song suggests that dreams and hope can be powerful forces in one's life, and that even the seemingly impossible can become a reality. It also touches on themes of time passing and the enduring impact that certain people have on our lives despite the passage of years.

You’re more than just a dream
You are not just a figment of my imagination
Because I hear your voice when I’m awake
I can sense your presence even when I'm conscious
You’re more than just a voice,
You are not just a sound that I hear
Because I’ve seen the sun light up your face.
I have witnessed the radiance of your countenance
More than just a memory
You are something more than a recollection
You came out from the clouds of my dream
You emerged from my subconscious
Always something more to give me
You always have something valuable to offer
The first thing that I heard
You were the first sound that I perceived
My train departed never to return
I left that moment behind, unable to revisit it
The new year rolling in
A new cycle was beginning
The strangers in the dark had much to learn
The unknown individuals in the shadows had many mysteries about them
Come out
Reveal yourself
From the clouds
From obscurity
A blinking of the eyes
A brief moment of inattention
And 15 years of dreaming came and went
Fifteen years passed while I was lost in thought
Remembering those times,
Recalling those moments
I can’t recall a moment of regret
I don't look back on those times with negative feelings

Lyrics:
I fell down, down, down
Into this dark and lonely hole
There was no one there to
Care about me anymore
And I needed a way
To climb and and grab a hold
Of the edge, you were sitting there
Holding a rope
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
Go up in the clouds
Because the view's a little nicer
Up here, my dear
It won't be long now
It won't be long now
When we get back on land
Well I'll never get my chance
Be ready to live
And it'll be ripped right out of my hands
And maybe someday
We'll take a little ride
We'll go up, up, up
And everything will be just fine
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
Go up in the clouds
Because the view's a little nicer
Up here, my dear
It won't be long now
It won't be long now
If only
I had a little bit more time
If only
I had a little bit more time with you
We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
We'll sit there holding hands
And everything will be just right
And maybe someday
I'll see you again
We'll float up in the clouds
And we'll never see the end
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
Go up in the clouds
Because the view's a little nicer
Up here, my dear
It won't be long now
It won't be long now
