Hi everybody!
To conclude our autumnal triptych of holy melancholy, we present to you a track by the name of No Connection, which might lyrically be one of the darkest Viola tracks yet, so it's fitting we're releasing it on All Hallows' Eve.
Musically it falls under the same category as our other previous more cinematic efforts, like Never Cease To Wonder, Ada Bell (In A Montage) and Planet Struck. To top things off, the song has 9 parts but not a single one of them repeats the same vocal melody. Furthermore, the instrumentation is built with the idea that once an instrument enters the picture, it has to stay in until the end of the song, building layer after layer after layer of intertwining melodies and harmonies. So if you got bored of our over-the-top pop antics in the summer, I hope these autumn weepies have provided you with enough contrast to bear through another summer of carefree euphoria that's inevitably looming in the future.
Oh, and by the way, the melodic kick drum is a total rip-off from Kanye West's amazing 808s and Heartbreak album. I really recommend you check that album out without prejudice.
But anyway, hope you like this one. Next month we'll yet again be back with something very very different. Something we haven't done in 5 years... But first, let us know how you like this one!

Lyrics
no connection
can't get through
inside the box
no space to move
stuck in the night
with this lonely sound
there's no connection
there's no way outisolation creeping in
yet it gets too crowded
within the skinno connection
time stops soon
I hibernate in this steel cocoon
cut off from life
and the line is torn
there's no connection anymorewhen you're left with just your thoughts
captured by the walls
you start to wonder
if there is a world at all
even the boy in the bubble
was able to see through
and the love leaked in
and the started to bloomno connection
no rainbow
no sky up above
no breeze of hope
claustrophobic inner voice
too much information
head filled with noiseno connection
the line is dead
tangled around my throat instead
communication cut off like claws
of a tamed old beast in it's time-worn cagebut there's a message coming through
I can feel it in the air
how can it be true
if there's no connection
a signal pushing through
emerging from the noise
the air is getting thin
there's still no connectioneveryone needs protection from themselves sometimes
so I drift into sleep
when amber light illuminates I am connected
but until then there's no connection
no connection
no connection
no connectionnothing else could get through
couldn't pierce it's way into this non-room
nothing else could get through
what if all this time I was waiting for - - - - -
