VNV NATION - BEFORE THE RAIN

"Before the Rain" is taken from the forthcoming VNV Nation album "Electric Sun" (Out 14th April 2023).

LYRICS :

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 dreaming

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

Revived in youth again
With each step as we claim
Shattered mirrors in the rainfall

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

VNV Nation: Release a new song

Me: Just hook it to my veins!

[frederickrobbins]

Ronan kicks ass. Don’t ever die. Become immortal. Ronan Rules. Love you man.

[Silberwolf]

A beautiful hymn of the depths of life <3

This is just phenomenal, I heard my first VNV Nation track when I was 11, back in 2002. Since then Ronan's voice has been a constant guiding light in my life through some real tough times and now I sit here with my 3 year old daughter on my lap enjoying the same constant voice for a new generation. It is just surreal and so good

[cloudbloom]

Just this morning I opened Youtube and scrolling down, looking at page after page of negative, depressing, anxiety-inducing news videos.

Then I notice, through all the negativity, that Ronan has a new album. 🥲 What a god-send.

[VenVile]

VNV Illusion has reinvented itself, again. While still staying true to VNV Illusion.

[silke]

Great song. Every time good feeling. Thanks.

Oh, it’s always worth waiting for. Thank you Ronan and please come visit us. We’ll drive to Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis even… it must have been 2016 or 17 that we last saw you. We were shocked to not see Mark.
