Three years after they were founded they released their debut album "V" (BMG). In 2003 and 2005 the following releases "Alive" (Warner) and Don't Look Down (Hammersound) became the true debut of the band (both albums Top 30 in Switzerland), offering their fans a freer, fresher, smarter more awake sound, the real sound of VIVIAN. With "Alive" and Dont Look Down VIVIAN exploded onto the scene with main stage performances at Open Air St Gallen, Montreux Jazz Festival, support shows with The Cranberries, Lenny Kravitz, Avril Lavigne, Status Quo and a three week US-Tour. One who wishes to move forward - for example from Switzerland into the international billboard charts - must be as determined as the band VIVIAN. On VIVIANISM (release in May 2007), which is already their fourth album, they have put together all their experiences from the past years and their most recent European-Tour with Status Quo (29 shows). Compared with its predecessors VIVIANISM has got an even more grown up and mature approach. It is a representative work of experience, self awareness and confidence, bringing the quartet directly to their definitive point. 2) Vivian Vivian, also stylized VXVIAN, is a singer-songwriter from L.A. She released a solo EP through her Soundcloud and her website in late 2015 entitled "Flowers."

Hang Around
Vivian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish you`d see the sense of life
I`m still, tryin´ to show you the way
So I always thought you'd find a better way
You'd find some better days
You never heard me, you never listen, so I never hope
I helped you out at times - help you out, of your sad sad life
I tell you
You just ever hang around

You don`t ever care about
I can see that`s not okay
I hope you never hide behind your other face
Never moan about your lack of wealth
When you don't even work
Can't you understand that you ain´t livin´ life
When you live this way
Ya gotta forgive me, cuz´ if you forgive me, I´ll open your eyes
I can see you fallin in a deeper hole
But i can help you out
I tell you
You just ever hang around
You don`t ever care about
I can see that`s not okay
I hope you never hide behind your other face
solo
I tell you
You just ever hang around
You don`t ever care about

I can see that`s not okay
I hope you never hide behind your other face

Overall Meaning

Vivian's song "Hang Around" deals with themes of hope, frustration, and disappointment in a relationship. The singer of this song is imploring someone close to them to see the sense of life and start living it actively. They have tried in the past to encourage and help this person, but with little success. The person just hangs around and doesn't seem to care about their own life, ignoring the guidance given to them. The singer is worried that this lack of purpose will only lead to more despair and a deeper hole for the person to fall into.

The lyrics suggest a sense of helplessness and frustration as the singer tries to help someone who seems unwilling to change. They have given advice before but now feel like they are talking a wall. The line "I can see you falling in a deeper hole, but I can help you out" shows the singer's desire to help but the person will not accept it. They hope that by forgiving them, they may be able to open their eyes to the bigger picture and show them that they are not living life to the fullest.

Overall, the song portrays the singer's love and concern for someone who seems stuck in a rut. They want to see them happy and thriving, but the person must be willing to make changes in their life. The tune has a sense of urgency, with Vivian's sorrowful voice carrying the message of hope.

The rent is not paid and the room is dark and cold
Have empty whiskey bottle on the floor
And there really is covered
on newspaper and dirt

I'm hangin' on to my sanity
I'm hangin' on to reality
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on

It's 6:00 am on the Tuesday morning
I look eyes on a ten
Pickup some money
to exist for another day

I'm hangin' on to my sanity
I'm hangin' on to reality
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on

The rent is not paid and the room is dark and cold
The children are in government care
Not leaving much to think about

I'm hangin' on to my sanity
I'm hangin' on to reality
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on

The rent is not paid and the room is dark and cold
Has empty whiskey bottle on the floor
And there really is covered on newspapers and dirt

I'm hangin' on to my sanity
I'm hangin' on to reality
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on
I'm hangin' on

The rent is not payed and the room is dark and cold
Have empty whiskey bottle on the floor
And the room is covered on newspapers and dirt
I am hanging on to my sanity
I am hanging on to reality
I am hanging on (4x)
It is 6 am on a tuesday morning
I will sign on a ten to get some money
To exist for another day
I am hanging on to my sanity

Arabwak` Messenger

Hey
Deep confusion to Mr Vivian
Same to Sir Lee Scratch Perry
This personne praises for her lives next the beginning
Messangers from kingdom of Power
God chooses the workers

My name is bachir
In Arabic language is the message from Gabriel to prophets
Praises for all
God need for all persons make the peace forces

Thanks for the upload! It is with sadness that I type that my uncle, Vivian Weathers has died after a battle with cancer, last Saturday May 1st 2021. Keeping his memory/music alive is such a comfort to those grieving for him at this time! Thank you once again!

Sad to hear Vivian has passed. My condolences to you and your family. I've known Vivian since I was13 years old when we used to attend Shepherds Youth Club at Railton Road, Brixton. He used to give me and my sister singing lessons. May he rest well with the ancestors 🙏🏾

This is one copacetic tune to the point of being exquisite.
That's been my narrative since purchasing hanging on 1987 from daddy kools. Killer tune in everyway.
