1. Vamp is a folk rock band from Haugesund, Norway, which was started in 1991. The band's musical profile is a mix of Norwegian folk music, Celtic music and rock. Members: Torbjørn Økland (guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, trumpet, chorus), Øyvind Staveland (violin, viola, accordion, flute, vocals), Carl Øyvind Apeland (bass, guitar, keyboards, chorus), Paul Hansen (vocal, guitar), Odin Staveland (keyboard, drums, guitar, vocals).

2. VAMP is a classic hard rock band from Germany. Line-Up: Tom Bellini - vocals, Oliver Scholz - bass, Ricolf Cross - guitar, Dicki Fliszar - drums. They released the album The Rich Don't Rock in 1989, to very good reviews, but the album went nowhere commercially due to a lack of support from the Dive-bomb record label. The album was unavailable for decades, until a deluxe re-issue came out in 2012.

3. Following the demise of London-based psychedelic rock band Sam Gopal Dream in early 1968, Sam Gopal started a new band under his own name. Meanwhile, 'SGD' members Andy Clark, Mick Hutchinson and Pete Sears formed a new band with Viv Prince (previously in The Pretty Things). This short-lived outfit was called Vamp and released the druggy single 'Floatin'' (1968) on Atlantic before splitting up again.

vamp Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jeg tror på mennesker som brenner.
Det knitrer dypt i dem en mening.
De synker aldri ned i slammet
Med hjertet kaldt som er forsteining.
På godt og vondt (Det er det samme!)
Er de med vidt utstrakte hender
Korsfestet til en drøm om livet,
Om Gud , om hvite horisonter,

Som alltid er der, men som viker
Hver gang du tror at du er nær.

Jeg tror på hjertene som skriker
Sitt lysrop ut og tenner verden
Og går mot en usynlig stjerne,
Men aldri finner fred på ferden
Og aldri stanser noensted.
Å slike mennesker er fjerne.

Jeg tror på mennesker som brenner
Ned -

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Savonarola" by Vamp Feat. Kringkastingsorkestret celebrate those who are passionate and driven, who burn with a deep sense of purpose. These individuals never give up, never sink down into the muck of mediocrity, but instead reach out with open hands towards a dream of life, of God, of a horizon that is always there but remains just out of reach. This dream is both beautiful and elusive, always slipping away when you think you're close to reaching it. These passionate individuals are crucified on the cross of their dream, suffering on behalf of their vision of the world.

The lyrics also suggest that these passionate individuals are rare and overlooked, ignored by the masses who go about their lives in a state of apathy. While they strive for greatness and chase their dreams relentlessly, they never find peace or rest, constantly pushing forward towards an invisible star in the sky. In the end, they burn themselves out, falling to the ground like dying embers, but their legacy lives on, inspiring others to keep the flame alive.
