No matter how bad things get, or how awful the work day is, or how many times I feel sad because my Father passed from cancer, this song uplifts me and makes me appreciate the thousands of outdoors adventures I’ve had here in BC 🇨🇦. My Father taught me so much and pushed me hard to go further right from when I was born , right until the day he passed. ❤ The wonders I have seen ….. Have been amazing
VNV Nation is one of the best bands ever to come into this world. I gravitated to them the first time I heard them. They are the only band that I know which gave a lot of comfort with their music to everyone in New York right after the 9/11 attacks. They had over a million hits with Standing.
I met VNV Nation completely unexpectedly when in NYC I was around 15-16 years old. I had only started listening to their music, but they were the sweetest guys ever! That's how you make fans for life.
This is literally the best live performance of this song that i can find. The sound quality is amazing compared to the other live videos on youtube. Been a favorite of mine for years.
not even close....I've seen phone videos from the this tour I just saw friday night and there performance level now is so superior....the crowd might not be as enegetic, but his voice quality now is so next level comparatively and I've been a fan for 12 years now...three tours deep.
@@thereforsunrisethe energy throughout the whole concert was amazing. Just one big party and so much fun. Not much place to really dance but it was briljant.
I was there at the Meraluna Festival 2006 at the Hangar, what a great track. We love Ronan and his songs, the mood and the feeling. Looking forward to the new album in March 2023 "Electric Sun" fan since 1994 & that will never end
The Chicago show on the 25th was one of the most amazing shows ever, Ronan and Mark can put one hell of a show and they did so that night. It was simply one of the best nights of my life.
It will be the best experience you have, I have seen them 3 times, the last time I was sick and they oversold the place, but the other 2 times were better than you can imagine!
Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking. Beyond words they say so many things to me. A stranger here reborn it seems awaking wonders deep in me. If nothing's ventured nothing's gained so I must seize the day. And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever. And will the world stay standing still at least for me. Through my eyes stare into me. I bear my heart for all to see. With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still. It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anyone. It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me. I let the wind run through my hands as I turned to walk away. In distant days I long to sense it all so clear. And fighting time so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever. And will the world stay standing still at least for me. Through my eyes stare into me. I bear my heart for all to see.
These guys are so awesome, and sound ever so grate Live! I just luff the sound of the hats they use in there songs! I could recongnize a VNV song just by the Hi-Hats =D
Just stumbld onto this gem. I wish the video was as good as the audio but I'll take it either way. One of the best choruses in any song ever for those of us growing old faster than we want (and much faster than we feel), watching life just fly by and losing much along the way but still choosing to keep moving forward. -"if nothing's ventured, nothing's gained, so I must seize the day"
Saw em on Tues 22nd here in DC, good show as always and this song is the best live...just wished Ronan wouldve sang this tune w/the same intensity he had here in this video at my show in DC, the crowd wouldve been into it 10xs more, nonetheless what a awesome f-ing tune...MArk just kills the drums set and beats em up good
Absolutely worth seeing, especially in a smalelr venue. I saw them in a small club a couple of years ago. Ronan has a really good time, and interacts with his crowd, but does not take shit from anyone. When they started, they played one song, then stopped and started talking and got given some gifts, including some stuffed moose and a raygun. (Yes, in Canada) He had a good time goshing the crowd, but he kept the moose visible on stage and posed with the raygun. It was hillarious.
You shouldve seen them like I did the other night! I could listen to them all night when they play tunes like this plus Ronan is so fan-friendly, he really gets the crowd into it. They rock!
It's SYNTH. Maybe called something else too, but my brother got me into this kinda music.. and he's liked this kinda music for many many years, we've always said Synth. Music resembling VNV is for instance Apoptygma Berzerk wich is from the city in Norway where I was born :P
I love this song. I love the energy. I love the crowd. And I love that there must be a pretty R rated reason they've decided to not show the front of that woman sitting on the guy's shoulders. :D
@roguemutt You have not lived until you have gone to a VNV gig. Seriously! I went to one in 2008 and it was almost a religious experience. The energy of the crowd is just mind blowing! If you ever get the chance, embrace it with everything you've got - you will NOT regret it!!!
