vnv nation - forsaken

[Lilliphus]

greed* not green, ha ha

yes...the color green is your enemy

[Lilliphus]

@VampireBaru

People are creatures of habit. We destroy, because we can, not because we are meant to. In the past we have understood the concept of necessity, but as we evolved, so did our need for possession. We fancied ourselves Gods and stepped outside of our station, advancing with medicine and technology. It's not a bad thing, but anything in excess can be. Humans are not bad. Humans are products of balance. The earth creates, man destroys. Ambition and green are the enemy, not humans.

[stradlemonkey444]

Singularity can poison you over time.

[bracketdance]

Love the video dude!



[utubes4u]

Whats this more greatness from VNV so many great tracks iam glad i discoverd them good old youtube.

[ElRhialto]

Dramatic. 

[sparkeones]

Epic track and video... makes me feel like everything is broken. The human has destroyed everything but it´s okay

[VampireBaru]

@sparkeones That's not VNV's aim. It's to touch upon subjects that those who should know, don't, and those who don't know, should. Carbon is similar, but still, the aim of the song is to show, not to suggest that it's the human's doing that creates the evils. They'll always be there, under our skin, but it's how we deal with them which labels us men or gods.

[sparkeones]

@VampireBaru

It´s nice your point of view mon cherie. I think that the world were a better place if the humans don´t exist...

Maybe is hard to read this but the earth were builded in so many years and the humans just became to take the earth like omniprecent deidities. And in a few years just spoiled up this wonderful blue world. Does this makes you sense? Sorry if i have a bad english but... isn´t my mother leguage (:

Buen dia!

[VampireBaru]

@sparkeones To be honest, you do the same thing. Regardless of whether you justify yourself or not, you are the same as everyone else. We are parasites, our JOB is to destroy or use, and human nature is just as it is. The earth wasn't built, it was just here, and we happened to be here. So now if we destroy the earth, so what? There's nothing we'll do about it. We're parasites, we'll find another place to live and desecrate. Because that is our nature.

[sparkeones]

@VampireBaru So.. Is it okay if we destroy everything because is our nature? the earth were there let me give you an example; so when you go to an friend house..do you take everything that you see just because you think in that first?? Do u destroy everything because is your instinct? No.We cannot destroy this place because is the only one that we have. Let me told you an Indian quote When you have cut down the last tree and poisoned the last river you will understand that you cannot eat money

[pammenjk36]

@sparkeones I embrace destruction.

Breaking things just feels so good.

[bracketdance]

@sparkeones

Got your back!

[bracketdance]

@VampireBaru

I pray for the singularity.

[AmeriMick]

I always thought of raindrops - or someone's last thoughts as they are drowning. (Wow, that is morbid :) Good job with this.

[GodendtheDevil]

The rainy weather makes a perfect combo with the music, goosebumps... thanks man!

[sarastro1825]

EXCELENTE TEMA ME RECUERDA UN POCO A JEAN MICHEL JARRE , DA GUSTO VOLVER A ESCUCHAR ESOS DELICADOS SONIDOS ELECTRONICOS QUE PARECE SALPICAR UNA ENCANTADORA MELODIA .

[TheTrancer85]

amazing

[TheBishopandroid]

thats simply epic

[LipsLikeSugar78]

Achingly beautiful. ♥

[BloodNorseGods]

traffic is frustrating

[jas240sx]

This captivating video, along with the incredible music overwhelm me with a plethora of emotions...and makes my heart swell within my chest.

[elementindustrial]

This was when VNV was good & worth listening to. How that time has passed.

[XPD541]

If you had been in nm, i would have hugged you for this and then bought you a case of energy drinks. lol

This is the best video of this song. I rock it on my droid every chance I get.

[K1LL3RB1TCH]

i wanna make a video of my driving too.

[FutureCSICrystal]

this is suppose to be making a reference to 1984 by George Orwell, right?

[SargentoDuke]

Sounds like Deep Trance... because it is =)

VNV nation cmixes all trance subgenres i like... enjoy!

[dreamlooser65]

genialer song!träumen,träumen,was sonst!!

[SoJuMa11]

I stumbled upon this song on my lastfm account as recommended music. It's one of the most touching songs I've ever heard. Songs like this were part of the healing process in my journey through a tragedy of lost innocence in my childhood.

[AntipaladinPedigri]

I've plotted to bring down the potty;)

Anyway, nice song.

[imastoner]

@AntipaladinPedigri ive plotted to bring down the party

[AntipaladinPedigri]

@imastoner I know. I saw "1984":)



[JuhaMaja]

There are so many great songs of VNV Nation, but this one is really one of the very very best ones ... it runs so easily down to the depths of my soul ... and it shakes me like most beautiful earthquake ... LOVE THIS SONG

[kyttikhat]

as a child i remember many trips in the family vehicle on the florida turnpike. some where sunny days and some were rainy days. they've all forsaken me now.

[00cavy]

i love there music, it helps me think about things that are going on. it also reminds me of spending time with my dad when i was younger. and how I then moved out and never talked to him again but maybe a few times then the last time i saw him, he was dieing on a hospital bed from a brain hemorrhage. he was in a coma never actually talked to him for about 5yrs before that. weird how there music work. but it makes me think about the future and spending time with my kids.

[neef00007]

nice video with, of course, fantastic music. Thanks for sharing !

[sparkeones]

This one plus further.... wahhhh they take me outside from this screw up world.

[drmike1158]

nice, but I like Illusion better

[drysuitbear]

just so beautiful,eurphoric

[roguemutt]

not many pieces of music can make me cry but this one does.

[ThePoisonDoor]

@roguemutt Great words.

[FourtySven]

thats fucked

[NexusTheDark1]

what is said at the end :o

i cant understand it -.-'

[amirshap]

איביאםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםםם­םםםם

[wassasge]

This song is so unbelievable. it just puts you in a trance.

[MsFlipper23]

I would rather say...descent while diving..tranquility & adrenaine..GORGEOUS

[ripgallows]

Now if you measured out the BPMs you could have the frames change every set amount of milliseconds (whatever it may be for this song). Then the flashes of those low frame rate changes will sink with the arpeggiator.

But the concept is nice. VNV Nation can keep me alert yet calm on the highway. Something you need while (here goes a troll) dodging people changing lanes while filming on the interstate in the rain.

[NebelkriegerUruk]

I love this song, is so amazing

Yyyyeeeaaahhhhh!!!

[BearAnkles]

My freinds, this current scenario will not change unless we help it along some.. you know its true..if u dont then you should.

[DYRKK]

...traffics not better than in Russia...

[MolecularSimulator]

Every night and every morn

Some to misery are born,

Every morn and every night

Some are born to sweet delight.

Some are born to sweet delight,

Some are born to endless night.

[punkrokchik4]

@MolecularSimulator i love this book :) :) (if you were referring to agatha christie)

[darkchaser25]

such pure emotion in this song brilliant!

[angeltears08]

sunrise

[suchirudoragon]

in response to what metrotek5 said, i agree, vnv have made me cry on many occasions. they are a band that thru music and lyrics have helped cleanse my soul thru tears. as a poet getting those emotions out is very important to me and i've written a lot of poetry while listening to vnv!!!!!!!!!! thank you to all who appreciate this wonderful band ;-)

[NebelkriegerUruk]

♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪♫ ♪ ♪ ♫☺☻☺♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪♫ ♪ ♪ ♫

[Galaxy9000]

It makes me so cry cry cry..... What a great Video/Music ! Very good to the music...

Look also the live version vnv forsaken there - it pushes my emotions so unbelieable up.

[AshAsmodeus]

I like the version WITH lyrics better then the one without it.....even if this one does have a cool vid.

Like a soldier to his end I go, 'cause I'm convinced that there is nothing more....

[TrampSmite]

WTF?! Who cares about this one?! Where is the cool one from Star Wars??!!?

[WinterbornSalem]

I hate florida highways, but mostly the construction on 95 in / around Palm Bay. Damn that sucks.

[smellington100]

Forsaken on the floria turnpike, so appropriate. Great music.

[Zwierzaczor]

Very cool video! :)

[iroaxni]

this is cool, I like how it uses most of the notes from Further but still its own song

[TheEvilBit]

Me too. Especially since it shows in the comments.

[TheEvilBit]

@TheEvilBit Love the tags btw. Good job, Batman =)

[ElderTheGreat]

Yeah that looks like Florida XD!  I-4 lol

[MrStillKillin]

lol i think this vid was shot in fl...im pritty shurrr

[fuckyoubugger]

Anybody know which film the quote at the end is from?

[RKOwensAIPACWhore]

It's from Jacob's Ladder.

[fuckyoubugger]

@RKOwensAIPACWhore Thx man

[TheUnresolved]

@RKOwensAIPACWhore Amazing film, btw.

[NebelkriegerUruk]

Amazing!

[MrCasbax]

you said it

[Xendgame]

Great Sound! The Melodie is very nice.

[fuckedupsickfuckboy]

my fav part is from 2:16 to 2:38!!

[pc000019]

great song, fantastic video! really original yet simple idea (bet it took ages tho lol). love it :)

[strudelo]

great song, terrible video.

[someone42895]

i tHiNk i may agree With u

[K1LL3RB1TCH]

@strudelo no this video is fcking good

[sadophobic]

in your brain

[BethInuzuka]

Which album(s) is this song in? I want to get a CD for my brother, I'm hoping this is in the "Burning Empires" CD, because his favorite is on there.

[jistrath]

This version is on the Praise the Fallen album. However, the vocal version (same music, but you have to love the sound of Ronan's voice, and the lyrics are great too) is found on the rare Solitary EP.

[n1bleachfreak]

oh wow!!! driving a car in the rain to vnv

[KreuzDame1991]

love it!

[Knoedelhans]

Wonderful, powerful...i love this song!!

VNV Nation - a genius masterpiece!!

[zarghroth]

awesome jacob's ladder quote

[missnymph]

Che me gusta el video, es sencillo pero pega el ambiente con la música.

Aguante VNV!!

[Knoedelhans]

OH YES!! GREAT!!

A track from "Solitary"

[nHeroGo]

Thanks for adding this video footage. It is very fitting. Well done.

[gmodesike]

who would have know that just filming a drive on a rainy day like this....

[joinmeinhell07]

yeah it really works well, it's probably a good time to reflect on thoughts and it just feels most effective with music like this playing

[cm2dude]

I love that they were using samples from 1984.

[KCore32]

this, is 4 minutes and 52 seconds of pure perfection, thank you for sharing!

[killermonkeydingo]

Vnv Nation is the best and great song plus ending quote is awesome!!!!!!!!!

[kehtux]

Begining of the vid seemed promising. It's sad that it had to be one scene; uncut driving lesson with stock effects.

[metrotek5]

Actually, sorry -

More to add -

VNV Nation's music has a tendency to make me cry - Before you start calling me Emo and dumb, understand that I've almost lost my wife several times at a young age due to many diseases, literally. In fact, many times I wished she would pass to end the suffering . . . Somehow VNV Nation captures exactly what I'm feeling. Especially in Forsaken and Further . . .

But, know I absolutely love VNV Nation . . .

[djxxxvxxk]

Your a tough guy, i couldn't go through that. She alright now?

And i love VNV

[SilentLyrics]

you have the courage of a lion if you still take it like a man and tell the world about it... the people who call you emo or dumb, diserve to die a slow death if you ask me...

VNV nation captures a piece of our soul's equality it hink, that's why so many people just dream away to their music, they are truly great artists!...

good luck to you

[HiddenW0rld]

@metrotek5 RIP :(

[pitbohl]

@metrotek5 that`s not dumb or emo-like. THAT`s life. and this is the right music to let all the bad feelings out, dude!!! hope you`ll look into a better future!!!

best wishes from germany

[sparkeones]

@metrotek5

Like James Sunderland?? Or Dominic Santiago??

Or like me...

Yeah i know what you feel. Dont get in the past go beyond! See ya

[melaniexq]

@metrotek5 VNV does have the perfect ability to capture any sad moment in words in many different ways, I cry while listening to them all the time too. I understand how you feel.

[AgainstAllVacuity]

@metrotek5 I'm really sorry for you and wish you well; anyway, I haven't passed through such though times, they make me cry a lot anyway, and I don't give a shit if someone calls me emo or dumb.

I cry how I want.

[metrotek5]

@AgainstAllVacuity ... Thank you ... if you were in Los Angeles I'd buy you Starbucks... :D... seriously thank you

[AgainstAllVacuity]

@metrotek5 :) you're welcome, friend*

[jasmin74spin]

@metrotek5 fuck what other´s think, and do your own thing.

[metrotek5]

@jasmin74spin ... That couldn't have been put any better ... Thanks so kindly - :D

[T00lsh0p]

@metrotek5 lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lolololololol

[edwardhyd3]

@metrotek5 Mate I've seen them twice and both times I cried more than I do when I listen to the music at home.

[metrotek5]

Excellent... Nothing short of superb.

Love this !!!

[kinga1708PB]

AMAZING !

[gmodesike]

if you're frightened of dying - then you're holding on - you'll see devils tearing your life away - if you've made your peace - then the devils are really angels - free again - from the earth. (vnv nation)

[brandonskala]

what came first; Jacob's Ladder (movie) or the VNV song? Same theme, same words.

[gmodesike]

jacob's ladder is the original..i should have said that instead

[santo4600]

This is what is great about VNV. So simple, yet it's just so epic. The sellout music industry pours millions into mass producing, and canning generic music and sending it out on conveyor belts to the public. These said bands will last a year or two, break a few million above even, then be forgotten about. But real music, music that drives people, music that makes you stop what your doing and think, something as simple as driving in the rain to this amazing song, proves: VNV Nation, IS music.

[santo4600]

I meant the beat to Forsaken is so simple. Not VNV'sMusic as a whole. VNVs music as a whole is incredibly deep and awesome just to take all in and dwell on.

[gmodesike]

love you, santo. you are perfectly correct.

[SilkBoxer]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scarletharlots]

nice video to go with it man.. good work :)

[vsander09]

The "Jacob's Ladder" sample at the end is well known, but the opening samples are from "1984" featuring a young John Hurt. This is the part of the book/movie when Winston Smith has finally been mentally beaten by Big Brother (a.k.a. The Party) and confesses his "treason".

[BodeVanLot]

The final quote is also in an Unkle song. I want to say Eye for an Eye, or maybe Rabbit in your Headlights.

[mazemore]

its from the movie jacobs ladder

[santo4600]

This is a great song, even without the lyrics. And this video is astounding.

[braverychars]

wooooow !!

[uropepyaka]

suddenly i feel that i become an ultimate fan of vnv

[faktualerror]

FANTASTIC SONG! And I love how they used that quote from "Jacob's Ladder," one of my absolute favorite movies!

[GeHaNiSch]

VNV-NATION For ever seid Beginn Der Band!!!! Alles einfach nur Geil und nicht mehr weg zudenken!!! Hat Mir sehr geholfen die stücke von denen. Sind und bleiben Die Besten.

[Smilegyrl222]

I like that sad "it's just me alone" feeling that I get with this song...VNV Nation is something really special! ( .)( .)

[Lulzcaek]

1:17 to 2:13 1:25 to 1:35 best part has a darker part to it that I like, and that unique part would visually fit Tom Cruise's character Vincent in Collateral. 1:41 to 2:13 ascends in a cool way, but is not as good as part 1:25 to 1:35, there is something about that part that is seperate from the rest.

[sdlabs]

Great song, true - a kinda self-ironic school-shooter tune, u can almost feel the weight of some serious hardware on your lap during the first half - but then the video loses control an goes into a kinda glitch mode with the n00b threshold and inverse filters which totally break the scene. Too bad, because the persistent rain and consideration in the beginning was really something.

[TiestoG]

greaz song

[gspir1]

forsaken = the one who has been abandoded by all, the one who walks alone and neven comes back to.

Excellent song.

[sirruli]

forsaken is like reborn but its like undead

[7eki]

what ? what was that !? was that only music ? i'm stunned.

[TelAmiin]

all right thx ...

[TelAmiin]

what's the meaning of forsaken ? is it danks or ? english .. I dont know .. plz tell me :x and .. whats the song about ?

[viralinfecticide]

It's English. It basically means to leave and never come back to.

[razwu85]

it means left behind,forgotten

[Freddy3740]

One word:

Abandoned

[Paingather]

oh gott was fürn vid...

[Curry4King]

es geht ja weniger um das video an sich als um die bedeutung

[xxUnrealcraftxxger]

immer wieder top !

[agt334]

Forsaken , thats how i feel sometimes on the messy german highways and roads ...

[pavarovas]

love it!

[BabyDollDark666]

VNV Nation is a great band!!!Awesome sound!!!

[M1t0s1sReloaded]

I almost thought that was the official video, it was that good.

[GodendtheDevil]

nice

[xxUnrealcraftxxger]

well done , thumbs up !

[cyberkitkat]

where does that end quote come from??

[7he5upremacy]

The end quote, I belive, is from the superb movie "Jacobs Ladder".

Great song and vid although I prefer the vocal version myself.

[Mycopia]

Absolutely wonderful :)

[SpartanRich0]

insanemax21 what a deep comment, and i agree.

And wat a fucking amazing song!!!

Beautiful

[Electronaut87]

Diese Lied berührt mich so sehr... VnV Nation sind die größten. Kanns kaum abwarten sie wieder live zu sehen:)

[modepet]

wie jetzt, gibts schon termine???

[Electronaut87]

Nächsten Freitag sind sie ja aufm Mera Luna;)

[Electronaut1976]

Hey du hast meinen namen geklaut ^^

[Electronaut87]

lol, dann trifft man sich auch noch zufällig hier bei VnV:P

[Electronaut1976]

War ja irgendwie unvermeidlich wenn mal als electronaut auf ein vnv video postet *lach*

[Electronaut87]

Da haste wohl recht*g*

[urawa59115]

Magnifique seance

[chrisnath57]

Beautiful ...

[pyranthus]

Well done video for the song. If only it was night time!

[insanemax21]

despite what every one has stated, after reviewing all 128 text comments, i have come to a relization, the only thing anything ever comes down to anymore is sheer will power..........we can resist our very nature, its hard yes but still have the choice, only those who try to take that choice away if they think they should be in control because they're either spoiled or just naive, we have a choice, no matter what, what one person does affects some one else.

[ZZZStepUpGrlZzZzZ]

Took the words right out of my mouth.
