Back in March, Via Rosa visited Chicago's Roscoe Village to perform an intimate set courtesy of Sofar Sounds. While I regret missing this secret occasion, we thankfully received some footage of the experience in the form of her song “We Can't Touch”.

The song was released two years ago via her SoundCloud, when she looped a guitar segment from Tallest Man on Earth's “Dreamer”. This time around, however, she performs the track with a guitarist, turning it into a much more personal experience, especially considering the venue looks like someone's living room. Lines like “I pray to the moon that you come through” should strike a chord with every lovestruck fool that hits play, adding even further to the sincerity when Via smiles and points to a friend in the crowd. Peep the video above (why haven't you hit play yet?!) and stream the song below. Via's full-length Metempsychosis shouldn't be too far down the road. 

“You say your heart is going through motions
and you don’t want to hurt me
so you’re keeping the temperature low
when I’m around, but I’m lovin’ the sound.””

— Via Rosa
