After quietly uploading “No Matter What” and “Lift Me Up” to Soundcloud, Violet Sands organically began to gain a following. The likes of PressPlay and HillyDilly noted their modern genre blending of early influences such as Cocteau Twins, Peter Gabriel and The Cure with glitch pop, 90s R&B, shoegaze and trap, resulting in a sound “incomparable to anything out.”
The trio released their first two tracks as part of the Strange Attractor EP. The song “No Matter What” continued to gain traction - featured in a commercial for Spotify’s Party App, included on a Vinyl Moon limited edition compilation, & it’s surreal music video selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick & a 2017 Webby Awards Official Honoree (Music Video Category).
In 2017, Violet Sands returned with the release of “Hello, I’m Free” (the soundtrack to Spotify’s announcement of its Discover Weekly feature) followed by the release of their debut album “Hotel” on YouTooCanWoo. The trio are working on follow up singles to come in 2018.
No Matter What
Violet Sands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even when the memories make it hard to stay, we stayed
Even if we under bin and on family underground
Please, you're always gonna be the one
That I'll be your woman
Oh you know I know it's time to run
Show me if I am, oho
We will make it, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what
And when the world wants you to turn your back on me
On me, it's one, what we got can really be the thing to free the future cities
From what's to come, and when you got that kind of power
You can start and say it's done
Show me if I am, oho
We gotta make it higher
We will make it, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what, no matter what
No matter what
The lyrics of Violet Sands's song No Matter What convey a sense of perseverance and determination in the face of struggles and hardships. The first verse speaks of a couple who have gone through difficult times together but have stayed together regardless of the challenges they have faced.

The chorus ("We will make it, no matter what") is a resounding statement of hope and faith in one another, and a refusal to give up despite whatever obstacles may arise. The second verse then takes on a more global perspective, acknowledging the ways in which society can try to tear people apart, but insisting that the love shared between two people has the power to overcome even the most daunting of challenges, and to "free the future cities" from whatever struggles may arise.
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a message of perseverance, hope, and resilience in the face of adversity, both on an individual and societal level.
