Lyrics:
Walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane
Lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame
So mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image has gone only you and I
It means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna

Its Christmas Day and I’m playing this in memory of my father who passed away when he was 54, this was one of his favourite songs, I remember as a child hearing the distinctive sound of this song being played on the record player. Years gone by I often think that my love for music was inspired by the person I miss so much. Love you dad, I know you don’t know what KZfaq is and if you did, I know you would be able to read this message from your son. ❤️

He was a real driving force , if not the primary In those early John foxx days , I remember buying the assembled album Ha Ha Ha , it still today packs a punch , I'm sure you get where I'm at, but anyone not hear early Uvx material put your headphones on and listen to the pre Midge era , John Foxx really good,bit of Iggy pop meets Bill Nelson and Chris Cross sound was mad , 79 I think foxx made the worst mistake on what I remember only one track worth at that transitional year from Punk,new wave , foxx dropped *Underpass* , totally not UvX , Synths, Drum emulators etc , he seemed to vanish , the rest, Midge and Chris , Warren C, Billie C they were , are in my top 10 bands that were banging live ...RIP CC

Ultravox songs carried me through painful childhood. A broken home, a lost hope, abandonment by your parents, high school drop out, poverty. Midge Ure's melancholic voice and UV's piano had some powerful and uplifting energy. I kept listening Dancing With Tears, Hymn and Vienna, over and over just to keep me from running away from home. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

Songs by the English group "Cardiacs" do, but they're not the same. They're also certainly not what I'd recommend to someone who wants to relax, unless you're sort of one who loves to relax in the middle of and in spite of a mental equivalent of a hurricane. Cardiacs are more dramatic, abrupt, chaotic, and (often to first-time listeners who go into Cardiacs' strangest territory) they can be _very_ confusing. One of their easier songs to listen to is "Big Ship," but it's not one of the twistier songs. That would go to "R.E.S.," for starters. After about the 2 minute mark, the song goes all over in an instrumental section for another 2 and a half minutes, including a "stop-start-stop" section that I've never heard repeated in any other piece of music. Here's to give an idea of what Cardiacs may sound like, if you know these following groups; Cardiacs have influences from early Split Enz, Gentle Giant, and XTC.

I remember being a 14 year old kid and listening to this for the first time in 1981. After soaking up music in the 70s, this song heralded that, my era, (the 80s) had arrived. Nothing before it sounded like it. Classic!

We walked in the cold air Freezing breath on a window pane Lying and waiting A man in the dark in a picture frame So mystic and soulful A voice reaching out in a piercing cry It stays with you until The feeling has gone, only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings The rhythm is calling Alone in the night as the daylight brings A cool, empty silence The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky It fades to the distance The image has gone, only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna This means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna
