![]() Then he wrote the vocal part while bass player Chris Cross started playing some bass lines with his synthesizer. According to Currie, Ure was hesitant about the overly classical romantic feel of the orchestration, and said: "This means nothing to me", to which the producer Conny Plank replied: "Well, sing that then." Ure said that he had in his mind only the line "The feeling is gone, this means nothing to me – oh Vienna!" when he went into studio. The lyrics, which are about a brief love affair in the city of Vienna, were quickly written by Midge Ure. Then, Cann and the classically trained Billy Currie together wanted to create something that might sound like it had been written by a late-19th-century romantic composer, so they started creating the basic chords and sounds of the song, and the romantic viola solo was influenced by German composer Max Reger. The drum machine pattern created by Warren Cann was the basis of the song. Other sounds include a solid synth bass line played on a MiniMoog, an Elka string synthesiser and a Roland CR-78 drum machine. The song features a dramatic grand piano in the verses and chorus, and a viola solo in the middle of the song.

It struck me that it showed up twice in the first season, giving it a sort of thematic resonance." Vienna" is a song by British new wave band Ultravox from their 1980 fourth studio album of the same name. Some cursory research has yielded insight that the inspiration was an affair which took place in rather grim surroundings - which is fitting for the show certainly. It is very romantic sonically but hinges on the lyrics "this means nothing to me" - so maybe speaks to the avoidant nature of the romance between these two characters. It plays again in episode 10 when Travis finally breaks down and seeks comfort in Nat, telling her he loves her. I wonder if the popularity of the show boosted the song in the algorithm? Idk how that shit works.īut anyway, the song plays at the end of episode 3 after Travis's body is discovered by Nat and Misty. It came up on an artist radio I was listening to on Spotify. ![]() A week or two previous I heard the 1980 hit by Ultravox, and became low-key obsessed with it. this caught my attention because I just started watching the show this past Monday (1/17) and binged all the way through.
