Song Description
Viviana is an Italian name meaning "full of life". The song is a physical, beat driven love song that admits the contradiction between the emotional submission of passionate love and the authority that it's public, recited expression imposes on the actual experience thereof.
The experience of the expressed emotion is limited by it's expression in writing, as writing, speaking or singing in this way is necessarily one-sided and authoritative - one cannot speak and listen to another at the same time. The danceable rhythm contrasts the limitation of the words by representing the bodily urgency for mutuality in spite of the frustration of it's verbal expression.

Lyrics
Viviana
Viviana, a stone and I
Can feel a crowd form
Too many, too shy alike
To hurry open
So how come it comes?
To be storied over
My will be undone
(Two or so together for a witness or a friend
better for another one to talk with or about
too many to win or turn an equal to an end
but there's only one when I deny.) (- - -)
Viviana:
Is something alright?
October is for kites.
Always the worried one.
Viviana, a stone am I
To speak so clearly
And still mistaking your name for a life
You do better to mistake me for us
Stare back at a sign
I shouting out your eye
You quiet or blind
Viviana
Freedom is only the means
I'm something like you seem
Who is the worried one now?
