VAEB je duo koji čine braća Matias Daviđ Mathiason i Halfdan Helgi Mathiason. Odrasli su u muzičkoj porodici i od malih nogu su u muzici. Njihov otac je orguljaš, profesor saksofona i dirigent hora, dok je njihova majka pevačica i profesorka pevanja. Rano su počeli da sviraju – Halfdan bubnjeve, a Matias trubu. Godine 2022. osnovali su duo VAEB nakon što su na TikToku objavili humorističku pesmu koja je privukla veliku pažnju na društvenim mrežama.

 

Tekst pesme "ROA"

Rowing today, rowing tonight

Rowing to where the stars are bright

And nothing's ever stopping me now

Rowing today, rowing tonight

Rowing to where the stars are bright

And nothing's ever stopping me now

I cut up a tree

And made me a boat

And when I get wet

Well I'll still be afloat

For hours and hours

I pull at the oars

I'm heading for heaven

I'll make it of course

I'm strapped in this craft

In my waterproof boots

Through the sleet and the snow

In my silver wetsuit

The tide is high, the sea is pouring in

I'll sail alone to where I've never been

Cos I'm feeling lucky and I'm gonna win

(So) I'll just adjust the rudder and be sailing again

Rowing today, rowing tonight

Rowing to where the stars are bright

And nothing's ever stopping me now

Rowing today, rowing tonight

Rowing to where the stars are bright

And nothing's ever stopping me now

It didn't tip up

I'm still in the boat

Heading for Greenland

And somewhere remote (God damn!)

Steering out at sea, I'm the captain!

Call me Gísli Marteinn.

Week after week under stormy grey sky

Gonna stay on the sea til the day that I die

The tide is high, the sea is pouring in

I'll sail alone to where I've never been

Cos I'm feeling lucky and I'm gonna win

(So) I'll just adjust the rudder and be sailing again

Rowing today, rowing tonight

Rowing to where the stars are bright

And nothing's ever stopping me now
