Living for music

In 2009, I saw Depeche Mode live in Israel, Italy, Hungary, Spain (two shows). I also had tickets for Romania, Bulgaria and Portugal, but the shows were cancelled due to Dave Gahan’s illness. Still, the trip to Porto was good fun!

I also went to two major Gothic festivals in Germany:

WGT, with 192 artists on the lineup. My review was posted on Darkwave.ro and

Blackfield, with 20 bands on the lineup. My review was also posted on Darkwave.ro.

2010 started well for me: on January 9, I saw Depeche Mode in Berlin, and on January 23, I saw them (again!) in Antwerp. The Belgian Depeche Mode experience was a real adventure that I will never forget! The fake tickets that I paid 500 euro for, Peddy the angel from heaven who helped us get in, the last metro, Andreea, me crying like a baby listening to Walking in My Shoes…it all seems like a detective story with a lot of suspense, and in the end the villain and the detective are a couple and they live happily ever after.

On May 8, I saw In Strict Confidence and Rabia Sorda in Prague at the Abaton electro festival. My review here.

On June 26, I am attending E-tropolis, an excellent indoor festival at Columbiahalle in Berlin, Germany (thank God it is indoors as the weather hasn’t been very friendly lately, and, hey, what’s a Gothic girl with drooling makeup ;) . The lineup of the E-tropolis festival is impressive and compact. I expect to see 13 exquisite performances and take lots of pics! Next, Amphi festival! A new post on my blog will be dedicated to Amphi.

Until then, stay tuned to good music, and check Vivi‘s last.fm and blip.fm profiles!

In Strict Confidence – Schwarzes Licht

In Strict Confidence

In Strict Confidence

Schwarzes Licht Video


Die Stadt schläft tief

doch du kannst es nicht

weil ich dich rief

und die Gedanken drehen sich

bist unachtsam,

nur für einen Augenblick

und schon kommt alles zurück

Glaub mir kein Wort

und das was es verspricht

dein Herz schlägt fort

doch die Tabletten helfen nicht

du wünschst es dir

nur für einen augenblick

und ich bin wieder zurück

Jetzt bin ich wieder hier

du reichst mir deine Hand

Lange nicht gesehen, doch gleich wieder erkannt

Du willst so vieles wissen

und du willst mich küssen

doch ich brauch dich nicht

tauch in ein schwarzes Licht

Du rufst mir hinterher

und deine Sehnsucht brennt

Willst mich so vieles fragen

willst noch so viel sagen

doch hier hör´ dich nicht

tauch in ein schwarzes Licht

Der Traum wirkt nach

Ich werde dich verführ´n

Dein Herz liegt brach

Doch du kannst nichts mehr spüren

Bist so naiv

Was glaubst du was du schmeckst

Wenn du dir deine Wunden leckst

Glaub mir kein Wort

und das was es verspricht

Wünsch dich weit fort

Nein, nein es gelingt dir nicht

Ich brauch dich nicht

Ein letzter kuss

Ein letztes mal

In Strict Confidence – I Surrender

I Surrender Video
On the black mountain
the snow is burning
and streams of ashes
are floating down
Against the wild wind
I carry the white flag
lost is my kingdom
lost is my crown
I surrender – Take my romance!
I surrender – Take control!
I am defeated! Help me, Jesus!
Love’s the beast that killed my soul

You were my
silver ray of dawning
saving me from
midnight blue
But a blind man’s trust
was built on dust
as never a single
word was true
I surrender – Take my romance!
I surrender – Take control!
I am defeated! Help me, Jesus!
Love’s the beast that killed my soul
