The momentum started to build over the spring/summer of 2010 after releasing Arrows. The band played tons of shows all over Belgium and shared stages with many international acts. When the dust from the summer run settled down, the band went straight into the studio to record a cover of Justin Bieber's Eenie Meenie, releasing it and solidifying their position as hot new act. The song got nationwide attention and was voted in TMF's "Dag Top 5" for 5 consecutive weeks, 2 weeks on number 1. Due to this success Vienna got noticed by SonicAngel, a record label that’s built around the crowdfunding principle. The band collected all the necessary funds within weeks and started to work on their debut album.
In the meanwhile, the band kept on playing every possible show. They won a "Best Song" award at the Exposure Music Awards, which will allow them to play a few shows in London soon. Vienna recorded their first full length ‘One Heart At A Time’ in Outhouse Studios in Reading with John Mitchell and Ben Humphreys. Both seasoned vets in the trade having worked with You Me At Six, Bullet For My Valentine and Enter Shikari, the band knew this was a good choice. The band released their first single of the album called "Lonely Shore" in september 2011, leading to more highlights: supporting Avril Lavigne in a sold out Vorst-Nationaal and airplay on national radio and television to name a few.
After the release ‘One Heart At A Time’ Vienna toured Belgium and the Netherlands to promote their album. They played Groezrock in April and toured the Netherlands for a second time in the fall of 2012. With their second single ‘One Heart At A Time’ they didn’t only reach the Belgian radio and television, but the single was also released in Italy gaining airplay on national radio and television.
In the meanwhile the band continued writing new stuff. This resulted in a 6-track self-titled EP, which has been released on March 22nd 2013. The music video for ‘Resurrection’, the first single coming from their self-titled EP, gained immediate airplay on national television. Having tons of shows added to their giglist, the future keeps looking bright for this hard working band.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tots ens seguien mirant, potser això de ser la novetat
Pot ser que encara dure, pot ser que siga tot un efecte boomerang
Pot ser que dissimule passant unes runes i t'arribe a tocar

El café era gelat, les escenes què és el que ens diran
Potser t'inoportune, pot ser que riga quan poses la cara de: va
Eixe tema ni el toques, potser t'equivoques, i no saps el que fas

Pot ser que ens interrompa una vella dient quina parella d'enamorats
O potser ens caldrà posar un espelma a qualsevol sant

O tal volta em diràs, que no soc tot el que hi vas pensar
Pot ser que se'ns acoste algun oncle que aposte per nosaltres fins al final
I mirant-me em dius: dubte de tant sols si hi ha una trama argumental

O passant dies clars, passejant agafadets del braç
M'assenyales un vaixell llunyà, que s'albira mirant vora mar
I traus un full de lletres on guardes poemes que vas voler-me dedicar
I m'arrambes contra un arbre de qualsevol institut de ciutat

Pot ser que ens interrompa una vella dient quina parella d'enamorats
O potser ens caldrà posar un espelma a qualsevol sant

I pot ser que un dia de lluna plena t'estaque un bonic contrapunt musical
Tant de bo que aquesta cançó fera que em torne a besar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vienna's song "Pregària" express a sense of uncertainty and the potential consequences of being different or standing out. The opening lines suggest that people are watching and paying attention, possibly because the singer is seen as something new or novel. However, this attention could also be fleeting or have unintended consequences, like a boomerang effect. The singer may try to hide or disguise their uniqueness, but it still manages to touch them in some way.

The mention of a cold coffee and scenes that will tell us something implies that there is something unsaid or hidden beneath the surface. It could suggest that the words or actions of others may disturb or inconvenience the singer, and they may pretend to be unaffected by putting on a carefree facade. The lyrics caution against touching certain subjects, suggesting that the singer may make mistakes or not fully grasp the implications of their actions.

The lyrics also bring up the possibility of being interrupted by an old person commenting on a couple in love or needing to light a candle for a saint. This could symbolize societal expectations or norms that can disrupt or interfere with a relationship. The idea of doubting if there is even a plot suggests a sense of uncertainty and ambiguity, questioning the very existence of a meaningful narrative in their lives.

The song then shifts to a more hopeful tone, describing moments of clarity and connection. Walking arm in arm, the singer points out a distant ship, symbolizing the possibilities and adventures that await beyond the familiar. The mention of a sheet of letters containing poems that were dedicated to the singer highlights the depth of affection and the longing for romance. Finally, the lyrics express the wish that this song would lead to a renewed embrace, suggesting hopes for reconciliation or a rekindling of love.

Overall, "Pregària" explores themes of uncertainty, the repercussions of being different, the challenges of relationships, and the yearning for connection and understanding. It captures a range of emotions from doubt and hesitation to hope and longing.
