Shadows of the Sun, enraptured in the sound Hypernormal frequencies illuminating clouds
We televise the noise to all that we can reach The broadcasts preach the word of better times and peace
We automate the lies with images we fake Machines to grant our every wish when all we do is take!
To Apathy we drink when dancing in the flames A chance for us to celebrate because all we do is wait!
Who has the most is King Constructed to be served so that which is destroyed is cheered on while it burns
With nothing left to lose and seconds ticking fast, though time is running out, all we do is laugh—
and hide among the crowd, drowning in its noise, in envy of the beautiful facades of shallow grace
The best would try and fail, feel helpless at the task but lead as if they rule in hell when all we do is wait!
Our fortunes running out and our options running dry With no one else to turn to, still, we sit and cry
We’re dancing in the flames to the sounds of our demise Drinking to our apathy because all we do is wait
The King, the sacred Crown, the Chalice and the Mace who rule over these famine lands whose bounty goes to waste
A power that corrupts, regaling this as fate The waters rising to our necks and all we do is waitVNV NATION - BEFORE THE RAINVNV Nation2023-02-19 | "Before the Rain" is taken from the forthcoming VNV Nation album "Electric Sun" (Out 14th April 2023).
Flash backward to the time Your silhouette disguised the glow of night's reflection Your outline locked in phase like a vivid, liquid haze Lit up, the night Electric
A moment staged for us until we turn to dust until time's evaporated But were we ever there enraptured, unaware? We were lovers only dreaming
We dared eternity and won long before the rain had come We built a universe We held a cosmos in our hands Unstoppable force, the purest light to set the firmament alight We built a universe so we could hold the cosmos in our hands
The switch turned to engage The power rushed and raged Lit up, your face Electric Lightspeed in a dream The static bursts, the stream the ultrasonic strains of music
Revived in youth again with each step as we claim shattered mirrors in the rainfall But were we ever there enraptured, unaware? We were lovers only dreamingELECTRIC SUN TRAILER 1VNV Nation2023-02-05 | The new VNV Nation album "Electric Sun" will be released on April 14th.

Ronan's voice sounded a bit husky due to an allergic reaction to a type of stage fog but still managed a beautiful performance.
The "sky of stars" has become a regular feature and highlight at VNV Nation's shows.

Resonance marks the most prestigious moment so far in VNV Nation’s career. Years in the planning, the album features many of the best known VNV Nation songs, performed purely with Orchestra and Voice. No other studio instruments were used as the goal was for the release to be as authentic as possible.
Already very familiar with classical music, and having taken much inspiration from it for their own songs, this is the album that VNV Nation have always wanted to make.
The album was recorded with the world renowned Babelsberg Film Orchestra at their historic studios in Potsdam, Germany, right next to the stage where legendary films like Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis” were filmed.
Only the best studios were used for the recording, mixing and mastering. The results speak for themselves and can only be described as majestic. This is a soundtrack to a film that has yet to be made.
The album is out on May 15th, on CD (for a limited time in a special Digibook format) and as a deluxe, limited-edition 6x10”/CD Boxset. Inspiration for the Boxset came from the style and quality of record sets from the days of 78s. A regular double vinyl album will also be released a few weeks after the CD and Boxset.
Resonance markiert den wohl prestigeträchtigsten Moment in VNV Nations Laufbahn. Nach Jahren voller Planung finden sich auf diesem Album viele von VNV Nations beliebtesten Stücken, dargeboten ausschließlich von Orchester und Stimme. Andere Studioinstrumente kamen nicht zum Einsatz, da es das Ziel war, ein Werk zu schaffen, das so authentisch wie möglich ist.
VNV Nation waren schon lange mit der klassischen Musik vertraut und haben darin oft die Inspiration für ihre eigenen Songs gefunden - mit “Resonance” ist nun ein langersehnter Traum Wirklichkeit geworden.
Das Album wurde mit dem weltberühmten Babelsberg Filmorchester in dessen historischen Räumen in Potsdam aufgenommen - ganz in unmittelbarer Nähe der Bühne, auf der legendäre Filme wie Fritz Langs “Metropolis” entstanden sind.
Für die Aufnahme, das Mixing sowie das Mastering kamen nur die besten Studios infrage. Die Ergebnisse sprechen für sich und können durchaus als majestätisch bezeichnet werden. Dieses Album ist ein Soundtrack für einen Film der noch geschaffen werden muss.
Das Album wird auf CD erhältlich sein (für einen kurzen Zeitraum in einem besonderen Digibook-Format) und als limitiertes Deluxe Vinyl/CD Boxset. Bei dem Boxset ließ sich VNV Nation vom Stil und dem Niveau der Album-Sets aus der Zeit der Schellack-Platten inspirieren. Ein reguläres Vinyl Doppelalbum wird ebenfalls, einige Wochen nach der Veröffentlichung der CD und des Boxsets, auf den Markt kommen.The Great DivideVNV Nation2010-03-09 | This is the video for the single version of 'The Great Divide'.
