“Laugh Vivid Often Adore Unity” is the second single of debut artist VUOLA: a Finnish drummer, producer and studio manager Jussi Vuola. In his music there’s a shimmer in darkness, a touch in space, beauty in distortion and aspiration in despair. A history of growing with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the like is being shaped with low tunings, vibration and chanting on his concept album based both on geometrics and syntax.
The new single paints a picture of an unearthly reunion beyond life and gives hope to this one. It is dedicated to Vuolas sister losing her husband to cancer recently, way too early. Musically the single is an inter textual salute to the giants of the past. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page as well as Tom Scholz of Boston are being credited, too. All proceeds of the single as well as the anticipated, esoteric, heavy hitting May album ’Alouv’ will be donated to the victims of the Ukraine war via UNICEF.
lyrics
There
I hope we’ll meet again
In perfect peace
Sound harmony and grace
There
In Zions shine
By Edens trees
Where Cherubs greet the sea
The pain of the mortal earth
Cease to exist
In the afterworld
Sure beautiful
Angels and joy fall all over you
The sun is warm
The water’s cool
Flavours astonish you
Are you waiting there for me?
There
Oh yeah we’ll meet again
In perfect peace
Sound harmony and grace
There
The sapphires shine
The tree of life
And Eagles reach the skies
Laugh vividly
Often adore unity
Love like in ecstasy
And you, you get a touch of it
Laugh vividly
Often adore unity
Enjoy the company
And you, you get a touch of it
You’re smiling there for me
