VNV Nation - "Illusion" (Andy Huang) 

this is the only song that no matter how many times you hear it ,, you feel something, your skin gets cold!! i really really love it

"The world is just illusion, trying to change you" just saw it today printed on a car driving before me in Leipzig. The most beautiful and shortest explanation for everything around :)

2024 and still makes my heartache. This song is timeless.

Can't stop listening this song in 2021. About ten years ago I discovered this song. Never mind. But every time I listen to this song, tears appear in my eyes...

One of the hardest parts of recovery is not being able to listen to the music i used to love for fear of triggers, but this song, this is the one im willing to risk. Masterpiece.

One of the handful of songs that helped me through the most severe bout of depression I've ever experienced. I'll always have a weird love for VNV Nation.

Super!!! ❤ Höre diesen wundervollen Song sehr oft! Kenne VNV Nation erst seit 2023! Dieser song kommt in meine Sammlung!

2010 my mother passed away. It was a part of my life when I had devoted too much of my time to work, and too little to my own life. This song helped me cry and heal. I started to live again by travelling more and meeting people. Going to more concerts and music festivals. I've seen VNV numerous times since then and I can't help from crying every time Illusion is played. Sadness, happiness and emotional relief. Crying while being close to people enjoying the song, the performance and being in the moment. Thank you Ronan and VNV for this, and thanks to all my fellow fans for the time together at the shows. In 2020 this is something I miss the most.

Perfect video for the song. Such depth of lonliness and sadness

2018 "The further you go away from who you truly are, the more you destroy yourself"

This is bringing tears to my eyes. What a beautiful work this is..... both the song and the doll face vidoe it has been paired with.

Stunning! What is it about this voice that always bring me to tears?

Just wanted to post on here to tell you I listen to this song every single day and it has saved my life on more than one occasion. Thank you VNV Nation.

I have seen the video 1000 times and it still drives me tears in the eyes. masterpiece!!!!!!

This song/video has saved my life more than once the last 15 years Thank you.

Such a beautiful, beautiful song. Got me through dark times. So very human. I'll love it forever.

In 2007, my 1st & only VNV show i attended here in my hometown San Antonio TX, I got to see Ronan Harris & Mark Jackson in person spending time with fans signing autographs so i got to meet both Ronan & Mark. They were SO cool very attentive to whatever you wanted to say, so i asked for both their autographs and to sign my Past Perfect DVD. By the way they performed at was The White Rabbit in 2007 for their Judgement Tour. It was a small place but man the energy that awesome feeling was wonderful. Ahen the show started, i walked up to the front where the stage was as did other VNV fans. Their somg lineup was perfect all their songs i got to see them in person than listening to their CD's in my vehicles. Illusion is just something that hits home to many of us. Like my severe PTSD being battle ridden, those horrible experiences i endured just anchored my heart and mind down to the abyss but that night, was the cure i dereved. I felt human again. Now when they played Honour it was just anger like it was war again. I will cherish meeting them and that show until my last day in this....."life"

Not heard this for a while... made me well up. RIP Sophie Lancaster

It is 2021 and this still gives me chills. Always remembering the good times... but crying internally, knowing time will never be as good as they once were in our youth.

One reason I got rid of my television accounts and Facebook. I see the world more clearly now. I do not miss television or Facebook. No time for it...no purpose either. Many things in this world to distract you from reality. I get it.

Gelsenkirchen, gestern.. Mega.. Vielen Dank, VNV Nation...

Wow this is so heartfelt, I think of my friend who has been through a lot over a good number of years, I wish i could tell her what i genuinely feel for her but i believe i never will 😞 this is for you my friend

This song will make me cry to this day... I remember first hearing it on VampireFreaks, it's never left me. It's utterly beautiful and heartbreaking.

Brilliant. Completely Captured. Beyond Words.

Less than 24 hours until the big release of Hellblade 2, may the second game be as incredible as the first

Every now and then a song and video comes along that makes you stop and think.....this is such a time.enjoy and reflect.

Jedna od najboljih ikada...

This touches me every time no matter how courageous I am.

have watched a few times and so real to the doll face and lyrics. we are all different but society as a whole doesn't allow that to be the case. the small smile, a tiny achievement maybe in trying to be acceptant of giving it a shot to fit in knowing deep down that it's just a mask xx

Such a sad video and song

I always love you vnv

2023 and still great!!!🎉❤

Crying, this song is exactly how I feel 😭

Listening in 2021 in the pamdemy of Brazil

hermoso video y tema musical !!!!

WOW! VnV has the best fans!!! To make video art like this! More please!

7 people are changed by the illusion . can´t understand that, because that song is so great and timeless!

I love this song and the amazing animation. It manages to be beautiful, sad and very creepy all at the same time.

i stg this song gets more and more meaningful every year with every listen.you would THINKG the world would become better, but it becomes worse and this song MEANS more, but also hurts more

I heard this music ending Hellblade and what are the odds...this was the song i heard in the inicial stages of ptsd and now so msny years after i hear it finishijg this game, a game that I started after having a mental breakdown 3 days ago without knowing the game was about mental health. What are the odds of all of this...this music helped me survive, so thank you

Dollar_Vigilante sent me here, love this song 😍

This is one of my best songs ever. Very deep message it touches my heart.

Beautiful, brakes me heart

Omg I can’t believe I found this video again finally after all these years 🥺

So beautiful. Hope to meet you again soon!

This song brings tears to my heart.

I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel Hoping what you need is behind every door Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else Feeling as though you never belong This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy I truly understand, please, don't cry now Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you please, please don't leave here I don't want you to hate For all the hurt that you feel The world is just illusion, trying to change you Being like you are Well this is something else, who would comprehend? But some that do, lay claim Divine purpose blesses them That's not what I believe, and it doesn't matter anyway A part of your soul ties you to the next world Or maybe to the last, but I'm still not sure But what I do know, is to us the world is different As we are to the world but I guess you would know that Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you please, please don't leave here I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel The world is just illusion trying to change you Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you please, oh please don't leave here I don't want you to change For all the hurt that you feel This world is just illusion, always trying to change you Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you please, please don't leave here I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel The world is just illusion trying to change you Please don't go, I want you to stay I'm begging you please, oh please don't leave here I don't want you to change For all the hurt that you feel This world is just illusion, always trying to change you

Senua sent me here

i love this song.. R.I.P. Uncle 💙🖤

2024 is ahead and I'm getting a bit emotional again, coming back here to know I'm not alone and that there's always something we believe in and someone who believes in us❤

2022 and still listening to it.

Oh, my god. I've been trying to find this song for over a decade now! And I just stumbled upon it out of nowhere. The only thing I had is a very vague recollection of the Judgement album cover. I couldn't even remember the name of the band. Wow, incredible.

It's 2022 and i'm still listening

The guy's voice is perfect for this song.

Like for senua

Please feel free to envy me: I'll go to VNV Nation concert in November. ❤ so excited... Wish I could bring yall with me

I find myself coming back to this song all the time. My dog just died the other day and I'm broken.

La vida merece la pena por escucharos.... GRACIAS!!!!

I came here by accident. I love what I heard and I love what I saw, but I feel sad and I can't really explain why. I will definitely have to explore from these people.

Wunderschönes Lied Budiful Song ❤❤❤😥❤❤❤❤❤😥😥😥😥

at the very end of the video i was like "cool" when i noticed that the screen was showing that entire experience on a screen, then i wondered where the doll was, and then i really thought, and found out the true message of this video is beyond words, i learned that the doll is really me, she was trying so hard to become what the screen was showing her to be "her" like a false mirror, but she believed it to be real, and changed herself via influence of the world "trying to change you" as that can only happen if you let it happen. "please don't go, i want you to stay" i feel like the box when she was running so hard it hurt her and she fell apart, the box is the true self maybe, and it was saying that to her. ofc its so much deeper than even this initial insight, so much profound art, i love the person who made this video, thank you aswell from me, the fan who made this.

Oh yes!🙌🏼 love and gratitude 🙏💜💫💫🦋

I hate it when people don't rhyme. And yet, I love this song. And the video, of what appears to be a robot that....just wants to be beautiful, maybe, is like A Beautiful Song from Nier: Automata. It reminds me of that. This song adds to that feeling as well.

Everyone just put a dislike because they don't know what it's talking about😕😊

Безконечно грустная песня. Как и видеосюжет... Но это завораживает.

AWESOME

I can listen to it over and over!

Thank you tp you brought songs that needed sharing and insight that was necessary. Aimafimh💜💜💜💜💜. Forever grateful and happy. 🌌

The recent Senua’s Saga trailer has me revisiting Senua’s Sacrifice and this song. This song hits on so many levels. I listen to it quite often.

Listening to it 2021.

Illusion - I have not stopped listening this song...

Спасибо, Брат!

Well didn't expect that to be that sad

2023 and still gold

Great sounds,thanks

14 years WTF! should be viral

Anyone else watch this while they were literally doing their makeup...? Anyways this song is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in a while

Watching this in memory of Sophie Lancaster.....murdered for being a goth, for being 'different'. Rest in eternal peace angel.

This is such a beautiful song. I hope that they update the visuals with HD cause, man.... 360p does it no justice.

So genial der Song!!!

To Double-O; In case you don't know yet, your Sunny Rae was probably a Narcissist, the relationship you describe screams it. Sometimes, when they can take the pain anymore, they take their own lives. This video is a very good analog for the "mask" they wear, and the emptiness of their lives....

This is beauty personified

2021 i love this song

Great video

This is a good video.

Hab es damals schon oft gehört. Fühl mich wieder genauso. Ist schon normal

Beautiful, that's all

Soundtrack of my life has this one firmly in no. 5. I wouldn't have made it through 2013 if not for this song

love this song!

Transgression and change will always unfortunately be hard we are only human after all

Glad I got to see them at least once...

Love the visuals...

Who was Sophie Lancaster? R.I.P.

Who is in 2022 and suddenly think about this song 🎵 ✨

Only one word, THANKS

Klasse.habe einen Bekannten, der 3 einhalb Jahre jünger ist, als ich, er hat mir das gezeigt, von alleine wäre ich da nicht drauf gekommen. Interressant.

Oh the times we are living in .

I discovered this song when one of my streamer made a play through of hellgate and I watched the ending with wonder. I really understood the song and the game once the streamer launched the video about the game, about the struggle that those people have to go through and I recognise myself in this struggle. Who am I? Am I ? What is my purpose in this world ? I still struggle to find acceptable responses to those questions but I know that I need to seek an answer even if I never find it. The quest is all. In a way, the quest is the answer.

Super melancholy

cool song...
