VNV Nation - Airships

[RxBabe13]

Soo lovely

[violetxprison]

Does this song remind anybody else of John Wyndham's novel "The Chrysalids"???

When David embarks on a vessel to Sealand and leaves worries behind.

"In the midst, they see Sealand horizon and David recognizes it exactly as the land in his dream. They hear thoughts buzzing and realize it’s the entire society conversing beneath them."

[dprada7]

VNV Nation Forever *-*

[jensarmbag]

Listen to this song when your plane takes off at the beginning of your trip.

[ValekHalfHeart]

At the same time...

ADS! ADS! ADS! THE ADS RUIN IT COMPLETELY!!!

[ValekHalfHeart]

I've always loved VNV nation from the first time i heard one of their songs, but this takes it all to a new level!

Incredible band...

[DeepMercenary]

VNV VICTORY NOT VENGEANCE

[Jyotinanda108]

good choice with the clips

[vegangothboards]

Nice!



[binnyficate]

Am I the only one that feels like no other singer in the world can make you feel emotions quite like this guy can?

[inscribeternity]

Oh How I Wish and Pray for this..."I'm leaving ground..stepping into a new world..Now I'm leaving home...leaving everything I have ever known!!!!"....{sigh}

[ElRhialto]

So much hope and wonder in just 8:15min. It definitely is one of VNV's most impressive songs.

[lilmissmullet]

AMAZING!



[Lexabyte]

This song doesn't get nearly enough of the credit it deserves on Futureperfect. Such a beautiful, optimistic, and thought-inspiring song.

[Bookooman2606]

ATBs new song kinda sounds like this

[LessHer0in]

@Bookooman2606 what is the name of that song btw? I love ATB but I am not up and up with their newest stuff. 

[4difference]

7 people did not step into a new world.

[sparkeones]

@4difference

jaja... lol

muy divertido

[bombarto]

great vid

[AddictedtoThought]

They should play this for the people we send to Mars.

[Jaanu0806]

what a song... makes me wanna fly too... leaveing ground, stepping into a new world...

[oilsoaked]

I listen to this song every time I take a flight.

[Panzermuh]

6:50 - Awesome :-D

I love this song

[jeremysart]

This song is BEAUTIFUL. It's great for jump starting your creative process :-)

[Tiefenrausch82]

nice... really nice... love this song and these pictures..... great... just a song to love it :)

*still dreaming*

[naomisyafei]

nice scenes

[sqwashsilver]

This song will always remind me of my best friend. RIP buddy...

[Grave187RIP13]

This song would have made the movie Tron 100x better.

[Rexhungus]

A friend just told me about this band and this is the first song I have heard by them and am just completely blown away.

[HDSUGR78504]

Everytime i hear this song, i imagine it being set in the 1900's New York telling the tale of the first Zepplin and the wonder and awe of the people as it passes.

[Technoblood]

The sheer beauty of this song brings tears of joy to my eyes.

[metrotek5]

Great vid for a great song .... Great job Necrathex ... Definitely favorited...

what I don't know... is what drugs six people were on when they were hatin' ... :( ...

[StellatheBot]

Did I blink as I watched, did I close my eyes.

[uuuultra]

Greetings from USA!!



[BeforeMagellan]

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world

Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything, leaving everything

I step into this new world leaving everything...

[BeforeMagellan]

the last song she listened...

[sagathian56]

Thanks Bryan for introducing me to this band.....they are awesome!

[IanOsei]

I try to catch you in the dark.

With a certain kind of kiss.

I invite you to the darker side.

A kingdom without light.

Can't you see our burning souls.

We hide a secret deep inside.

You search for a gate to a better life

You just need to take my hand.

[BiatchWildcat]

I couldnt yet see you. Still obscured by the city did I blind as I watched? Did I close my eyes? I was not alone, I think it was the first time

Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams

[DarkMessiah6]

I would give my kidney liver and arms to the person who could find me an instrumental version.

I need it... for wisdom stuff ;P

[Sn1p3rSh4wn]

over 9,000 of the people filmed in this vid back then are now playing Halo Reach...

[Dallows65]

@Sn1p3rSh4wn Now i have the barely resistable urge to hunt you down and slap you... Halo Reach? Don't speak of it here.... This is nothing of war, its only peace on Earth, and "awaiting the ship they had told [us] would come, quietly anticipating..."

[Sn1p3rSh4wn]

@Dallows65

Seriously? You part of a music cult or something?

[Dallows65]

@Sn1p3rSh4wn

No i just have the irresistable urge to slap people lately, particularly people who make comments that have little to do with the video...

[KillerZetzz]

This song reminds me of the movie Treasure Planet.

[ilaninglis]

inspiring. they catch the human experience so right, both the marvels and hope as in this song, and the darkest sides. here are the lyrics, I just cant read them without wetting my eyes a bit.

I pressed my face against the glass

Smiled as my breath made some pattern or other

The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail

Glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky

Awaiting the ship they had told me would come

Quietly anticipating that which was to come

[ilaninglis]

I couldn't yet see you, still obscured by the city

The towers of glass reflected your coming

Silhouetted on the sunrise

Did I blink as I watched? Did I close my eyes?

I was not alone, I think it was the first time

Watching you rise splendid and graceful

I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown

[ilaninglis]

I laughed as I waved and imagined you saw me

In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings

A million faces gazing upwards in wonder

A million faces together and cheering and smiling

You were the warmth of their hearts, you were the sum of their dreams

In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives

Giving this feeling of wonder I could not imagine

[ilaninglis]

You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever convey

This feeling and morning had opened a door

I stepped into a new world, I watched you fly

Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams

I imagined a new world, lands far away,

And imagined those faces as you hung in their sky

[ilaninglis]

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world

I'm leaving ground, a new world and watching you fly

I stepped into, I stepped into a new world

I was not alone, I think it was the first time

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world

Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything, leaving everything

I step into this new world leaving everything

[ilaninglis]

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world

I'm leaving ground, stepping into a new world

Now I'm leaving home, leaving everything that I have ever known

I step into this new world leaving everything

[xMujcicx]

@ilaninglis Nice lyrics ;D

[PornboyFication1978]

vnv gefällt mir sehr....

[emobassist247]

wow youve made it soooo well and it fits so perfectly!

[helimax]

tune

[Mentocthemindtaker]

Excellent video. You've managed to capture the spirit of the song with absolute perfection. This song always fills me with great emotions and your video only makes these feelings more pronounced. Well done.

[MsFlipper23]

I listen to this nr over and over again..unbelievable how it develops..from tranquility to total power..! And the video is just awesome!!!! Looks like born together..

thanks!...

[coolman9899]

this video made my cry :'-) it was awesome been along time since i cried like that

[coolman9899]

@xigbar4ever ZOMG THAT WHAT I DO I typed up a whole valdvictrorian speech in 2 hous because of vnv nation

[kgturkeybutt]

This video captured nearly everything I had ever imagined when I would listen to this song. I love this!

[TheHzhzhz]

FKIN GREAT!!!! :)

[gvndud]

Hey! Great videoclip! (and song)

[danubis69]

i love this video. i honnor nyc and the sky line its my hometowm i love you always ny

[Barbarianface]

I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have this to turn to when I'm feeling shitty. The only thing I can rely on anymore.

[glowedroid]

Excellent Video for an excellent song.

[odenskrigare]

Every time I listen to this song I think about how I'll soon be leaving my dumpy ass hometown permanently.

[thelarkascend1ng]

@odenskrigare and honestly what's so aggravating for me is that i felt the same way a few years ago and now i'm in a position where some of hte places i wanted to go turned out sucking worse than home and some were really as epic as this song and took me to a new place emotionally.

[JulieLunatic]

I have discovered the meaning of life.

[MegaKagato]

May your spirit be free and your heart strong.

[danielsjohnson]

Best. Emotional. Song. Ever.

I almost cried when the song was over.

[bossinator666]

reminds me of BLADE RUNNER....

[Biopunked]

it does have a strong sci-fi feel to it doesn't it?

[lenymo89]

I totally want to do something like this... but man, this was just incredible. You did a FANTASTIC job putting this together. Perfect video for a perfect song.

[farry1988]

life changing music! unbelievable!

[NapoleonLouverture]

perfect song to express the majesty of Airships.

[yutu34]

every time i listen to this song i see and feel a montage of emotions and images in my mind of the day when the first human space fairing vessel rises up in the sunrise of a new years day in a not to distant futuristic utopia. and the hope that the entire world feels as the first glimpse of the ships silhouette rising in the suns morning light and i always feel the moment is being experienced by a young boy waiting at the space port and in that moment that ship represents the future.

[BrownMatteo]

It is not our spaceships they are sing about it is about our watchers... "did i blink as i WATCHed did i close my eyes I WAS NOT ALONE

[yutu34]

This is just how I feel when I hear this song, not necessarily what is going on with the lyrics :)

[marka5300]

@yutu34

nice comment, u been playing too much final fantasy i feel :D great song

[LessHer0in]

@yutu34 This is one of the most amazing things I have ever read.

[TheHzhzhz]

@yutu34 theres nothing more no one can ever say about this song mate! word!

[Flughund1972]

This song is a great one from ronan.....everytime i listen I fade away in dreams and my past......a past with a lot of lost persons from my family :-((

But this song always give hope in a way I can´t describe..... the video you´ve made are exactly the pictures I would prefer for such a song like this one!!!

Great thanx very much for this excellent work

[mildisek88]

NICE !!

[CaitiVoltaire]

This song would almost be perfect for a steampunk-themed adventure or movie or something.

I can't help but think of the backstory to Arcanum with this one, and the sense of wonder that people must have had to board something as awe-inspiring as an airship would have been in such a place.

[distinctabstract]

..wow <3

[Nexx661]

Beautiful song, perfect video. Many thanks for the upload.

[TheMaroonFox]

No matter how turbulent my day becomes, this video/song always calms everything down.

Thanks a trillion for this upload.

[tbmuex]

Great job. This song has such a big city feel coming from one myself.

[Tohkeeyoh]

Beautiful song with a wonderfully executed video to go with it. Stunning job, Necrathex, this is going into my favorites. VNV Nation does it again!

[Hockeyguy17]

This song is the shit!

[dude123321321]

A bit harsh. To each their own surely.

[Hockeyguy17]

Why cause I like the song? Then go listen to beyonce

[dude123321321]

No I mean in response to the fact you have three thumbs down.

I love this song and agree with you 100%. It is good.

Peace brother.

[VidarDenTavse]

This is excellent! And very touching..

[Soeufans]

great! :O

[davidcoady87]

I fucking love these guys I only found them out today and every song I have listened to have loved every single track

[Orzmott]

Great song, always loved it... Thanks for giving it a great clip.

[vegeta2332]

remind me of Koyaanisqatsi .. great video.. we are lost if we can not see what is right in front of us...

best from new yOrk

[kinga1708PB]

WONDERFUL !

[Dallows65]

"Stepping into a new world...Leaving Everything. I Step into this new world Leaving Everything!!!"

This is my 2nd fav VnV nation song, and paired with this video my favorite YOutube View :D

[ulmeulme]

i love this song :) great video..and all love to vnv nation

[xbanxsanityx]

we watched Chronos in world history the other day,and i started humming this song :).

[bleckmylk]

STUNNING VIDEO, AMAZING SONG

[esca8652]

this is one of them hit the fans songs, right here, can you say, inebriating, here lyes pwwhh, i don't even know, this song is a !!!!!Godsend!!!!, I can't imagine a song sounding more beautiful than this.

[eurapeon]

haven't you listened to 'beloved'? :) ronan said he thought fans would kill him for writing that song, but instead if they don't hear it live they would stone him to death

[SnookRS]

speechlessssss

[DJHelios]

Our world is running faster and faster and we have no time to stop anymore.....

[EverythingInane]

I love Koyaanisqatsi, and this song gives a tottally different, positive meaning to the imagery

[alan98pl]

i meant plane :)

[alan98pl]

beautiful song! beautiful images!

oh and there's an B-1 Lancer strategic bomber at the end of the vid maybe flying to cluster-bomb or nuke-bomb something. it kinda don't fit here for me.. but i guess not many people know what plant it is.

peace!

[loafpork]

This song reminds me of rectangles connected to hotdog buns with dental floss. I don't know why?

[hankjive]

look at your user name, it explains alot-lol.

i know...and i can tell you're left handed as i am also-peace!

[KazeRSX]

This song reminds me of Final Fantasy for some reason >_>

[lunarcadia]

Final Fantasy almost always had Airships in it's stories. :)

[thest3alth]

I'm leaving ground...

Stepping into a new world

I'm leaving ground

Stepping into a new world

Now I'm leaving home

Leaving everything

Leaving everything

I step into this new world leaving everything.

[fungimusiknatlifrock]

I just started listening to them. Very nice. Thanks for the upload!

[razwu85]

absolutely wonderfull.5 stars!!

[Dabu3]

I love songs like this that you can play for over 8 minutes and not get tired of it.

[mortaltirant]

Can't get enough of the VnV, this has to be one of there best songs EVER.

[slaugh84]

can't get enough of this song... simply the most amazing electronic stuff i've known in years...

[AIDSBOMB]

this is a truly amazing video <3

[esca8652]

again, this is a truly AMAZING song, i honestly don't think it'd be outlandish if they got 50 academy awards just by the one song, that'd be kinda low actually, Transcendental Pop at it's BEST if you know better be my guest

[M1t0s1sReloaded]

Anyone else think that vnv nation's library could make a great story? Even a great film?

[michaeljetfire]

I do.

[roguehearts]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

can't get enough of it!

[esca8652]

i thought this was my comment on the song, couldn't have said it better

[roguehearts]

amazing, amazing, amazing.

[codbarley]

thats true.....

It just seemed so........well.......fake...

greenscreen style

[codbarley]

nice vid. is the plane at the end fake?

the wings jiggle too much

[TBEasyC]

why would you think that? Planes wings aren't stiff otherwise they would snap off in high turbulence...

Also great song, really slows things down....

[yousawthis]

this plane is the B1 lancer bomber nice pane too.

[VAMPLES]

Ronan i love your Voice

[soultaker242]

poprostu piekna sprawa.....

[zMajus]

"Airships" being one of VNV Nation's songs I particularly like, I would say this is quite good homemade video you did. Nicely chosen clips.

[taleya]

Beautiful work Necrathex. I love it.

[violetxprison]

the song reminds me of Wyndham`s ``The Chrysalids``

[leklavier]

Reminds me "KOYANITKATSI"

Great work!!!

[leklavier]

"KOYAANISQATSI"

Sorry =S

[Severuuk]

Koi fish and kitkats. Lulz

xP

[Jewelsjulia83]

(L)

[Sera696969]

Excellent video, really great work!

VNV's music has lent itself to some of the very best videos i've seen on here. The Final Fantasy montage for 'Beloved' and Doll Face for 'Illusion'

Yours ranks up there with those two! :o)

[PHUCKCCDP]

I love this Song!No matter how I feel I always have a smile on my face at the end.

[SeductiveDuck]

What city is that?

[adrianchango]

it looks like L.A judging by the long streets

[SeductiveDuck]

Actually there's clips of NYC in there as well.

You might be right about that first one being LA, although the skyscrapers don't look farmiliar to me. Perhaps it's Houston, which is similarly flat and squarish.

[adrianchango]

True, and some of SF

[moremarmyore]

I love skyscrapers...

w w w . skyscraperpage . c o m

[Hebefrenic]

Such a wonderful song by one of the most hearttouching bands on the planet!

[blacksilverjose]

new to me this rocks

[AddictedtoThought]

Come on, UFO's.

I'm waiting.

Get me the fuck off of this planet.

I'm going to watch this video every night until you do.

[psycodude565]

Lol?

[PRROG]

Excelente video, me entanca, la letra de la cancion, las imagenes del video, el sentimiento, en si todo, cuando la escucho me pone a pensar, me pone melancolico, enserio es una super cancion, no me canso de escucharla, se la recomiendo bastante. VNV Nation.

[davelx]

[TheUberwench]

That's one of the most beautiful things I have seen in a long, long time. Thank you!

[Beigebeard]

It looks like you used Koyanisqaatsi clips for the city

[0utlawedGriffiths]

OMG!! Amazing stuff. it fits so well!!

[ardillarojo]

Friggin' awesome! Top notch work with the editing.
