VOLA - Freak (Lyric Video)

[@UpsilonPsycho]

Can we talk about the perfect balance between savage lyrics and beautiful mélodies ?

[@ale9157]

YES

[@trzigweid]

Literally the best possible blend of the sounds and styles present in Inmazes and Applause. Absolutely majestic.

[@trzigweid]

Plus that bass is utterly luscious. The beauty in how this song is arranged is equally as vicious as the heavy riffs in other songs on this album.

[@tureldragoon3667]

There is no need to talk about it, listen and enjoy.😊

[@F1fletch]

Just today I really looked into the lyrics and it shook me up how accurate it was to what’s happened in my life. Very raw, almost jarring but truth exposes what’s hidden. We see who people really are….just wow!! Thanks VOLA, this song feels like therapy to me.

[@WeIsDaTyrantz]

your pain is a meme, lool no joke, this album is beautiful but that one line sent me up

[@mulishuli995]

Amazingly amazing...

[@gary900]

This album is award-worthy from start to finish. Head Mounted Sideways and Freak might be my two favorites.

[@trzigweid]

Even my least favorite songs from this album are rated incredibly high in my book.

[@That1GUYJJ]

@@trzigweid i have the pleasure of taking a deep dive into their music. i only found them a few days ago. i have liked everything so far

[@AvB.83]

How? How is this the fifth track on the record, and it feels like I'm listening to an entirely new great band alltogether AGAIN? What an amazing record.

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

I love the twist at the end. Vola is a true class-act, every song brings something new.

[@Druminator82]

4:07 The added guitar melody along with the redemptive harmony in the final chorus is pure blizz!

[@GoldFinalStarmanDXJr]

When he sings the melody he goes to an E for the words "came" and "name", but when the lead guitar gets there, it does an E# or F, and it Totally gives it that redemptive feeling. Excellent songwriting!

[@RayneArt]

Why is almost every song on this album making me cry :'(

[@trzigweid]

I can imagine this being played live, and the frontman and the keyboardist are mostly just swaying in a chilled fashion, while the drummer and the bassist are just going ham.

[@jweezy15able]

I'm getting big "sad but true" vibes from this one. I honestly laughed when I began listening to this track because the mood didn't match the title, but the more I paid attention the more seriously I took this track. It's now my official humming track at work.

[@FusionHowie]

If you were wondering what an Eargasm feels/sounds like? Please play any Vola song! I love this band!! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@agitatedzone]

Used to be singles were the absolute best an album could do, now bands like VOLA make songs just as good as if not better than the singles. Gonna be a good summer listening to Witness.

[@turtletrashlicks1771]

I never got goosebumps again since The Contortionist's Clairvoyant. This album is everything.

[@JamesVanCleaf]

We need a TC/VOLA subgenre

[@swmtothemoon6660]

These are the songs that keep you going when you want to give up. I recently have become estranged from my father because of our differences and it has ripped a huge void in my heart. But this song almost makes me feel closure.

[@ckokomo808]

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you find some peace in your life. ✌🏽

[@swmtothemoon6660]

@@ckokomo808 never give up! That's what I tell myself every day. Eventually I'll see success

[@Correactor]

I don't know what this song is about, but for me it's a wonderful reminder that true family is something you create.

[@Varie]

Covered in goosebumps every time it hits 3:45. Each album is so different but they still keep that distinct VOLA sound that I love so much. Don’t think these dudes could write a bad song if they tried.

[@ninasweatt8855]

The chords are heavenly

[@w7class]

Feels like Steven Wilson older works..(e.g. "the raven that refused to sing")...

[@Miniontaart]

I rarely comment on music but I just went through the entire album and all I can say is WOW. Genuinely, from start to finish fresh ideas and stellar quality sound. Love it! comment and like to pump the algorithm for these legends!

[@volaband]

💙

[@MadGladiator-_]

I always feel warmth when i feel this song. Purely magical ❤️

[@garytackett8426]

When my brother and I heard the last line of this song, we both said, "Wow!!" That was a vicious line..

[@neilsmith5510]

My jaw dropped for a good ten seconds

[@muskett00]

Loving this album. nb. Nonsense only has 2 e's in it.

[@raffaelcruz7708]

VOLA is definitely something else!

[@replicated]

This is actually one of my favorite tracks even though I tend to like the heavier brutal stuff. Some of the chord progressions catch you by complete surprise.

[@tijnvanderkooij2532]

i feel you man

[@jericosha2842]

I'm the same. I had this on repeat all day today. It's got an awesome vibe

[@tomyboumboum9822]

@@jericosha2842 I feel a Genesis vibe in the chords. Love it!

[@muhammadsabah6527]

You guys are cure for depression enough said

[@DeceptiveSS]

This is my main ringtone, this is my morning alarm tone. I even made botched attempts at singing along with this to my younger daughter and she smiles. Older one hums along.

[@l0stflip3]

They have been an important part of a stage in my life. its melodies and lyrics go deep! greetings from Chile

[@ZelElz]

You guys are the masters of melodies. Like satisfying sounds. Seeing colours. Penetrating harmonies. Perfection.

[@paulbarrett2566]

Saw them last night in Boston. Absolutely brilliant performance, and genuinely nice guys!

[@nope-z5y]

This is absolutely gorgeous. VOLA's music is a fantastic mix of beautiful melodies and close harmonies (which I love) and mathy prog metal (which I also love). It's like this band was put together *just for me*. Thanks VOLA for this fantastic music.

[@Glacialvoid]

Been going through these lyrics in my head. At first I thought they were about himself in the past, our greatest critic is ourselves: "your proof is a constant bore", "your pain is a meme". But then he hits me with "you closed the lid to your fathers heart". Im thinking its about himself or his mother. Could be a sibling. Whatever the case, it's hauntingly relatable and an absolute masterpiece. Love you guys.

[@BassOfVeritas]

I am absolutely obsessed with this album, this song in particular

[@johnmojiit9648]

Came through unique music after ages. Thank you Vola and sorry that you won't be given any award for the masterpiece ❤️

[@tureldragoon3667]

And the world will know, you are something special! Mark my words! Maybe thats the music that brings peace to the world.😊 Love your music!

[@johnfierro7662]

This song moves me. Thank you VOLA.

[@kylehyde8378]

Whispers of Porcupine Tree in this one

[@shamster0]

Thought the same. Hints of Glass Arm Shattering by Porcupine Tree, imo.

[@TMmodify]

Made me think of My Ashes, personally

[@gSWG3R]

As I was saying this, I read your comment. I so agree.

[@DanielaQuirozOrtega]

Uno de los mejores temas de Vola, sinceramente me llegó al corazón. Ojalá vuelvan el próximo año a Chile y lo toquen en vivo, porque en el CL Prog quedó al debe.

[@arthurmelo6687]

I think this is my favorite now 😮 It was 24 Light-Years. They're battling hard! But the whole album is amazing, insane. I was worried about how would this album be better than Applause of a Distant Crowd, but it is.

[@stuartpalmer2966]

Amazing album, will definitely see you live in the UK!

[@IsakMagnusson01]

Such a beautiful track guys!

[@waregl72]

Here because I heard Straight Lines on a reaction channel. Have just downloaded the entire album which I never do anymore. Not a skipper in the list. None. Great work Vola. Seriously. GREAT work.

[@nemanjamartinovic9153]

14.09. Vienna Chelsea.....24 days to go......I WILL BE THERE.....looking forward to see you guys!!! Until then, take care, stay healthy and rock the f**k on!!!! 🤟

[@jeefuji]

Pure bliss. This voice (those 's' piercing the mix, goddamn I love that), this crisp Charley, this full round sound, this meme pain. Taking a lot of pleasure guys. Thanks.

[@Stolid]

This is absolutely the best song I listened to this year, thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this absolute masterpiece. Everything from the vocals, lyrics, atmosphere, drums to the way the vocals and guitars blend at the end, I'm moved utterly. Thank you ❤️

[@EV_Comics]

"Your pain is a meme" I'M DYING!

Thank you Pandora ( Tesseract ) radio for playing these guys.

[@alirezaasgari3643]

Amazing stuff, can’t wait to see you live again performing the new songs!

A beauty right from the start till the end. 🤘🤘🤘

[@wujeksmietanko]

I only discovered this band yesterday, had never heard about them or them beofre - they are really good and I have not even started listening to them on my headphones! This song resembles mi another one I heard years ago, though, cannot remember what it was...

[@volaband]

Thank you for listening:)

[@wujeksmietanko]

@@volaband my pleasure. The other one I mentioned in my comment - have you been inspired maybe by Dream Theater's OCTAVARIUM?

[@volaband]

@@wujeksmietanko We have listened a lot to dream theater in the past so maybe we have taken in some inspiration a long the way:)

2 Days ago i heard Napalm.....i was hooked, a perfect blend of melody and groove, with a hint of heaviness......couldn't get it out of my head (yeah kinda in a Kylie Minogue way hahaha)......then i heard inside your fur.....damn.......that one hit hard, i don't know why, but it connected right off ......and just when i thought it couldn't get any better i heard this one and saw the lyrics.....AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!! I do remeber seeing you guys live in Vienna in 2018 with Kadinja and Monuments.....i thought you guys were pretty cool, but i was far into seeing Monuments that night, that i didn't really appreciated you guys as i actually should have had......hope to see you again in Vienna and to pay my respect to you with THE ATTENTION that you deserve. From Vienna with love!

Hey Vola, any chance you could upload instrumental/ karaoke version of this song/ whole album? P. S. ''Thank you for the music, for giving it to me'' ☺️

[@babytiny5807]

Possibly my favourite one next to 24 Light Years. Love the whole album though, not a skippable track on it. Great job yet again everyone

I'm turning to ten but you never hear me speak Your mouth resorts to making your nonsense leak Towers collapse but you have a million spares Enjoy the view you're building from plastic chairs I took your mask away and you became this Underwhelming freak that we will not miss I took your mask away and you became this Underwhelming freak that we will not miss Your pain is a meme Your proof is a constant bore You're spoiling the end of episode one to four I'm out of reach but you still drag me down I'm under siege but here I stand my ground I took your mask away and you became this Underwhelming freak that we will not miss I took your mask away and you became this Underwhelming freak that we will not miss Hiding the code to your human chart Clouding your worn down self-regard Feeding this game with old penalties Closing the lid to your fathers heart The loss of time when he fell apart Feeding this game with old melodies I took your mask and you became Someone I forgot who shares my name
