VNV Nation is amazing.

Here is the link to the song.

Here are the lyrics. They are so powerful and somewhat romantic.

VNV Nation - Nova (Shine a light on me)

I long to feel,
My heart burned open wide,
Until nothing else remains,
Except the fires from which I came.

Like parted souls,
Divided for an age,
Or in wonder I'd embrace,
And the world ended again.

But now,
This picture from me fades,
From steel's cold hand there's no reprieve,
Light the fire in me.

Shine,
Shine your light on me,
Illuminate me,
Make me complete.

Lay me down,
And wash this world from me,
Open the skies,
And burn it all away.

Because I've been waiting,
All my life, just waiting,
For you to shine,
Shine your light on me.

I dreamt the world,
With my eyes open,
But time moved on and then,
New worlds begin again.

Oh my heart,
In this universe so vast,
No moment was made to last,
So light the fire in me.

Shine,
Shine your light on me,
Illuminate me,
Make me complete.

Please shine,
Shine your light on me,
No hesitation,
Make me complete.

Lay me down,
And wash this world from me,
Open the skies,
And burn it all away.

Because I've been waiting,
All my life, just waiting,
For you to shine,
Shine your light on me.

Lay me down,
And wash this world from me,
Open the skies,
And burn it all away.

Because I've been waiting,
All my life,
Forever waiting,
Shine your light on me.

Because I've been waiting,
All my life, just waiting,
For you to shine,
Shine your light on me.

I love VNV. I missed him the last time he came to Philly. I was sad.

VNV Nation? Never heard of 'em. What? My signature? No way, you're on crack. My signature isn't one of their songs. It's Baby Got Back, 'cause when a girl walks in with an itty bity waist and a round thing in my face, I get sprung.

I like VNV Nation too. They have a lot of mellow alternative music.
They also have one of the most depressing songs that I know of out there.

I really enjoy listening to them too, actually thanks to nerdygirl's sig .

Haha... listening to "Standing". One of my favorite VNV songs.

They really are incredible live. I've seen them:

Empires Tour with Apop in NY (Limelight)
Futureperfect tour with Icon of Coil in NY (Limelight)
Mater + Form tour with Soman & Imperative Reaction in NY (Irving Plaza)
Don't recall the tour, but with Aria and Wartapes in Philadelphia (Theatre of Living Arts)
