Please read what I have to say, it's important to me, because I so rarely have anything to say about anything. I have heard so many songs in my life, downloaded the whole internet it seems, but I have NEVER EVER felt what I feel for this song.
So many "stupid" teenagers, and adults alike, talk about the oh-how-meaningful a certain (crappy) song is to them. I often wonder if they really do feel anythign at all, or just say they do for the sake of telling the world "I'm a rocker" or "I'm miserable".
Anyone pouring their hearts out over THIS song however, should be given an award. If you ever listened to this song, you've been connected to the whole world around you, and every VNV solitary listener alongside with you, in some sort of unison silent choir of thoughts and dreams fears and hopes, all drowning into eachother.
I have been completely wrong about the meaning of this song forever, and known about it all along, but somehow it doesn't matter.
I have walked late at night at hours when aboslutely nobody but me is out on the streets in my small town in Sweden (Köping), on paths in the forest nearby, and completely drowned my mind into the dreamy non-existance of this most beautiful and most fantastic vnv nation song of all time.
What is so fantastic about VNV nation in general is that you can retrive to some wonderful bittersweet hypnotic state that seemed to occupy me a whole lot more in my childhood. It's a wonderful feeling of serenity listening to this song.
And you don't just listen to this song... It's the whole universe and the world around you talking to you about how everything is okay even though you are really all alone in this. It's a strange sort of alineated comfort wrapping its arms around you. A wind with hope. It's really everything you could possibly feel about anything at the same time, and I would be damned if not the universe sings along with "I HAVE NEVER WANTED MORE"
To me, the words "I have never wanted more" means the opposite (probably) of what was intended. I want so much more out of my life than I have, and to walk alone listening to this song late at night in the woods is like walking alongside with the singer. I imagine him screaming out his majestic desires to the world in which nobody listens because he is, like me, all alone.
I hope anyone reads this, and feels EXACTLY the same :)
VNV nation is something unworldly, a natural chord strumming along throughout all space and time, and it's such a shame so few people in this world ever even heard of VNV. But at the same time, of course, that's also what makes this song so personal, and beutiful, and for the sam reason, nobody loving it can be stamped with a label on their forhead for screaming out his or hers passion about it.
