Summer 1999, a new name and a new start   After years in a Lieksa basement with cassettes full of sound   Just me and Esa, then Ville joined in   Bext January Anu came to play the keys   First clumsy gig in April thanks to Maxine   We were lost in a forest, played beneath the cathedral   And as Ville left and the door slammed we continued as a trio   A winter session in Hinthaara, silver glitter glue with Virpi   Then the acronymic EP and some gigs but not that plenty   Our laptop drummer had been kind of neat   But then Tommi joined to add some force to the beat      Our little momentum   Under the mountain blue   Our candies made of tears   Won some hearts, got some cheers   Under the wings of Cranes   First little tour felt great   Henkka came to do our sound   First just for those shows   Then more shows   After shows      Hermann The German packed with such great plans   A shared EP and many shared stages with Iconcrash   From Moscow nights to Honkapaari fights, Petersburgian Christmas lights   Disco melancholy made by a duo inside the quartet, almost waiting to burst out   And eventually in July '05 songs ended with goodbyes      Thanks Esa, you're the best   Thank you Anu and sorry once more   ("What happened to Viola?")      We cast ourselves into unknown waters   Anything could have stopped us   A simian mentor and the hidden animals   All night sessions with bad prank calls   Thanks to Sami and Tuomas the show still went on   Via Dollarosa, "the perfumed letter"   A fashion show, a marathon, a masquerade   The strangest Viola's day with Tommi in the USA      A collection of wonders   The last of Tapanila sessions   "Super couple of all times" watched too many times   So it was just the two of us with Henkka on the road   At the zoo with a rabbit and a cat, a squirrel and three rats   And that smelly Mambo tour, fun trips with Respa and Black Audio   Then in September '08, the saddest news broke through:   Henkka was gone, we miss you, our beautiful friend      In 2009 we finally set our songs unbound   They may not fly too far but at least they have a chance   When the last song's gone you're on your own   So transmit the code to all friends unknown   'Cos the smallest song can make someone sing   Ghosts of chances past, set yourself free   And we keep coming back 'cos we owe love   We are Viola and it's been a decade      We'd like to thank the following:      Our parents, Esa, Henkka, Anu, Sami, Tuomas, Ville, Päivi, Teemu, Minerva, Julius, Arttu, Virpi, Mari, Jussi A., Mikko and If Society, Petteri and Pommilaukka, Martti and Jupiter, Nina, Jussi L., Mikko O., Niko J., Marko, Jarkko, Roudi, Szarapow, Ilai, Heikki, Vilunki 3000, Tuukka, Janne, Leevi, Petri, Artemi, Jari, Aija, Jaani, Laura, Niko L., Niksu, Vesku and Miia, Jaana, Soila, Lotta and Mila, Maija and Pauliina, Leena Lehtinen, Avi, Tukeva family, Samu, Sari, Jan, Pitkämies, Jokke, Ossi, Hemppa, Mauri and Vilma, Cranes, Iconcrash, TV Resistori, Black Audio, Red Carpet, Ultrasport, I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper, Regina, 80th Disorder, Ultranoir, Varjo, Angelica Kult, Hannulelauri, Boys Of Scandinavia, Ultramariini, Echo Is Your Love, Hero Dishonest, Sissy Spacek, I Walk The Line, Baby Sweetcorn, Videovalvontaa, Roger, Verneri Lumi, Kris Kylven, Candy Darling, Flannelmouth, The Archangels, Office Building, Tuvalu, The Underdogs      Other bands we have played with   And everyone who has helped us   And everyone who has bought our stuff, come to see our shows and stuck with us through the years   Especially Lassi, Leavvedolgi, Heikki and Leena.      And finally    YOU   Thank you for listening.
