just came back from the vienna teng show at cafe du nord...simply amazing. surpassed even my expectations. thanks for coming. :)

the venue had atmosphere and vienna sounds even better live. beautiful voice, incredible piano-playing, provocative lyrics...all my favorites were played and we even had a little sing-along audience participation bit.

i so admire talent and hard work. and quitting a safe job at cisco to pursue music took guts! yay stanford!

soon love soon

"Momentum" -Vienna Teng

why am i walking barefoot
upon this road with no one around?
i close my eyes to this decision
the night's like coffee to my tongue
like waking up without a sound
i map the words out
maybe you will say them

would you help me rise up?
touch my face and watch me try to breathe again
would you let me do this?
burn down the final wall

overcome me, baby
overcome me, baby
overcome me, baby
overcome me, yeah
all i'm asking is to be alive for once

always i am mistaken
i look for love, i find a stone
of all the seasons, winter befriends me
i come to you in friendship
and hold my breath against the snow
what are you thinking as i gaze into you?

forgive me the confusion
forgive me as i realize my thoughts betrayed
you are the answer
cry and smile the same
