This is the most beautiful song about grief that I've ever heard. Thank you to Ronan Harris for helping me throughout my life with his complex,stunningly gorgeous lyrics and music. I hope that vnv nation get the fame,appreciation and blessings that they so richly deserve. I'm a fan for life. They are the best musicians that I've ever heard in my life. I'm extremely lucky to have found them
I remember this peformaces from the Limelight NY show Thanksgiving night 20 years ago when a fan wrote a note to Ronan and he sang this song to the individual who was dealing with a dark path and because of VNV music help him see a light and live again.....long live VNV!!!!!!!
I miss you so much P.S.F. RIP. You were the best Mom any daughter could have.Ronan & Mark I thank you so much for helping me with your music.You blow my mind.I'm your fan forever.You guys are my favorite band ever by far!!!!
Ronan and I talked about my sister Who left earth when I was 8. We Also talked about my toxic partner. I left him one week after the show in november 2013. Many negatieve things happened. And then. In june 2017 I met my current husband. Now again in troubles regarding our lovely son. I really need his advice. Not about my husband but my Parents
When I have nothing left to feel. When I have nothing left to say I'll just let this slip away. I feel these engines power down. I feel this heart begin to bleed As I turn this burning page. Please forgive me if I bleed. Please forgive me if I breathe. I have words I need to say. Oh so very much to say. And whose life do I lead? And whose blood do I bleed? Whose air do I breathe? With whose skin now do I feel? I'm supposed to walk away from here. I'm supposed to walk away from here. And whose life do I lead? Whose blood do I bleed? Whose air do I now breathe? I'm convinced there's nothing more. The day you died I lost my way. The day you died I lost my mind. What am I supposed to do? Is there something more? The engines power down. Like a soldier to his end I go. Because I'm convinced That there is nothing more. And whose life do I lead? And whose air do I breathe? With whose skin and whose blood do I feel? What happens now? Have I done something wrong? Forgive my need to bleed right now. Please forgive my need to breathe But I've so much to say And it wouldn't matter anyway. You're not here to hear these words that I must say. And I'm convinced inside That there is nothing more. Whose life do I lead? Whose air do I breathe. Whose blood do I now bleed? With whose skin now do I feel? I have nothing left to say. I have nothing left to feel. Am I supposed to let this go now, Let darkness come and take you away?
And you probably never will :( Ronan Harris has said he doesn't want to perform it live because it ends with him blubbering on stage, which isn't much fun for the audience. I've been to tons of different shows, and I have never seen anyone as personable as connected with the audience as much as this guy.
Super late reply, but i think this definitely a very personal song to Ronan. Ive never seen him more passionate. But basically its about coping with death. Grief, loss. Acceptance.
This is about his wife he lost to Cancer. There's an interview out there about it. I really appreciate Ronan being open and allowing fans to be part of his personal journey. The next song in series is Beloved, then From My Hands. I'm not sure if there's another in there or after.
