I just heard it the first time in "Cold Case" - Fightclub" on TV ;-) Now back to Vienna. I'm from Austria, so my question is: Is this song really about THE AUSTRIAN capital VIENNA? Or do the Frey mean any other town called Vienna in the US? vienna | Reviewer: diana | 12/28/2007 I really see this song as being the after occurence of the song Hundred. In Hundred, Isaac is talking about having problems in the relationship, they're trying to work things out but because their just unsure on where they stand, what to say or do things are very difficult between them. Now in Vienna it seems like he's realised that the relationship needs to end. They have communication problems & one or both people can't be truly honest about their feelings thus "maybe in 5 or 10 (years) yours & mine will meet again & straighten this whole thing out". "The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in" I think this could literally mean he's getting on the last train out for that day, or it's figurative for it being the final time he'll be leaving their relationship. The words "last" & "oneway" bear lots of importance here. He's saying it's the last time he leaves (they may have had breakups before but ended up back together) & there's no way of returning (one way ticket). "There goes the downpour Here goes my fare thee well" Usually when it's starts raining - pouring in this case - it's an indication that it's time to go, therefore he has to bid her farewell to catch the train OR it could mean things have become very emotional & one or both have started crying, so he needs to say goodbye & leave before he thinks he can't do it. "There's really no way to reach me, cos i'm already gone" I feel like he's saying, it doesn't matter what she tries to tell him, or if she convinces him not to leave it won't matter, she won't get it through to him because he's "already gone", already made up his mind & has for a while now. "Only so many words that we can say Spoken upon long-distance melody" There are so many things to be/could be said though they won't get a chance to say them.. they'll keep it inside through the time apart or think about it seperately in the 2 places they're at. "This is my hello This is my goodness" His goodbye is also his hello, & his goodness is in not completely closing the door on their relationship. [Maybe in 5 or 10 yours & mine will meet again] "This is the distance & this is my gameface" This is it, i'm going the distance. This is my gameface, he's trying to stay strong, just hold the pain inside & do what he needs to do. "Is there really no way to reach me, am I already gone?" He's questioning himself, Am I really doing this? Is it too late? I think even when we have our minds made up about a difficult decision, right before taking the first step, we stop & question it. Y'know, the old 'easier said than done' "So this is your maverick..." I've thought about this line for weeks. In a close relationship you become dependent on the other person or just used to them, so I see it as by him leaving, he's granting her independence hence "this your maverick", this is your indepedence.

"this is Vienna" Vienna is not only a big, beautiful city, but considered to be a place to find yourself & be whatever it is you want to be. So as they seperate they'll both have the chance to find (metaphorically speaking)Vienna in themselves, i.e. figure out who they really are. Vienna | Reviewer: Sara | 11/28/2007 Hello! This song is simply about visiting Vienna for a short while, falling in love with someone there, and then having to leave to go back home to your own country. It's about leaving that person you're in love with, and how its hard. You want to make it work but it would hurt too much to even try, so you're not planning on it. But your thoughts conflict because you want to try. Hence, "theres really no way to reach me, i'm already gone.... IS there really no way to reach me? AM i already gone?" <3 Questions | Reviewer: Kendra | 11/11/2007 Why does he use Vienna as the setting? If it's because of the population, he could have easily named any other large city so it couldn't be that... And why would he question himself at the end? how i see the song | Reviewer: Chels | 10/15/2007 he is leaving his lover, he is saying he is through, and she wont be able to find him,they can get intouch but not in person, in 5 or ten years maybe they can talk it through but this time with honesty and being true to one another..he says he is serious..this is your independance youve been wanting, this is life ... | Reviewer: marie | 8/25/2007 ...in a way a sad song. ... and its cruel to find yourself in it again ... that song tells how my life is at the moment ... too bad ... ...i love the fray =) ^^ my take on the song | Reviewer: Sylvia | 7/31/2007 This song is about separating from a lover - the train is figurative. She's trying to get through to him, but he's unresponsive, has been for some time and probably will always will be unless he can be open to honesty. About the Fray | Reviewer: ana | 7/21/2007 Hi!!!
