“there once was a time I was sure of the bond”
My first listens of Vienna Teng’s Between date back to third year university. Back then, fear of liberation came from the unknown adult world so soon within reach. Something more alive than silence swallowing conversation was social anxiety and the desire to be loved.
I’ve always wondered why her music did not become more mainstream. Perhaps restless souls and beautiful poetry don’t mass market fruitfully.
In subtle averted eyes
the swelling fermata
as the chord dies
The same song played back a decade later still invokes goosebumps, albeit of an entirely new set of emotions.
