It is with great pleasure to finally announce our new release marking WIV's 20th band anniversary! On 8 Dec 2023 our new release "Faro (Camara Lenta feat.

WIV – Redamancy (Demo Version) Release

It's some kind of rebirth or even reincarnation of Waiting in Vain as WIV. It's probably worth a more wider news release than a blog post on this web page, but as most in our lives this release is a small step towards a new era of what Waiting in Vain or simply WIV is defined as. There is no definite decision whether WIV becomes the actual band name (as an acronym to Waiting in Vain), but we are more than proud to announce that WIV goes fully...

It’s time for the final song: Evolutionary (From F to K)

It certainly has been a while since we released a new song not to mention a full-time album. But everything has an end. The mark is set. So here we are! Like Phoenix from the ashes. Your starlets are back. Or at least that is how we would like to see ourselves and how you should perceive this opener of our new album Evolution. Straight into your face with a big smile on your lips. Cocky as f**k! We hope we can pay tribute to you – our...

Song #2: Va Piano

"Finding home" is a quite commonly used lore for all the pilgrims seeking the significant other or the place to settle down. Nowadays, most people have lived in different cities, countries or even continents and the place they call home is most likely different from where they have grown up. WiV is not different with Tim and Sebastian having left Dresden more than a decade ago. But as much as you can travel the world, the more you cherish your...

Only three more songs to come: Are We No Good

Life is a b***h! We have all experienced this throughout our lives and without any bad feelings left behind we know we have grown as a person and gained something exceptionally great: dignity. Back in January 2012 it had been a very strong winter in Helsinki. Extraordinary cold and snowy and to date the most snow-intensive winter of history in the capital of Finland. This was the time when one of Sebastian's closest friends got his heart broken...

Although it’s Monday, do not forget your: Beautiful Appearance

Running, running, running. Life is just an Escher’s maze. You don’t know where to go, what to do? What do the others think of you, your thoughts, your deeds? Welcome to real life. But take a rest, contemplate and consider. Shake of all your insecurities and go ahead. Stop hiding. You only live once. You are more than the sum of pieces people notice. Life is short rather it goes on and on and on. So does the measure of Beautiful Appearance....

The question of the day: Do You Believe

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for a song full of love, passion and sex.  Without any doubt love is the oldest topic in music history and thousands of musicians have written about it and millions of music lovers listen to the words singers recorded at some point in time. But any type of  relationship is unique in itself when it comes to shared memories, dreams and fears. Furthermore, they are diverse as life it self - man and man,...

Enjoy Your Weekend and the: Land After Darkness

12 years, three different female vocals and two Cubase Software Editions. It is like a tasty whiskey: it takes experience, the best ingredients and a whole lot of time – okay, and sometimes also some trial and error, you’re right – to get a unique result. Here it is, Land After Darkness, ripened in the best oak barrels just for you. Semi-German oak barrels one have to say. Land After Darkness is the best bilingual representative song of...

Another appealing anthem: Awake Again

Imagine the big reunion for years. You were more than friends. The lost left a big scar inside of you. Imagine redamancy. Imagine you were not able to see or feel or touch or talk or kiss anymore and never get rid of thinking on each other. Imagine there are hazy visions in your dreams. Imagine that you imagine your beloved awakes again. Imagine you are in heaven.
