Your world is so fragile
Thank fate you don’t know
Every step that you take
I will be in your shadow
You conquer your world,
careful but clear
Vivid horizon
but blackening dreams
And all that matters lies in you
Not always can I watch your step
My distant light will always shine
It helps you to find back
Learning again
with innocent eyes
Showing you beauty
and hiding the night
So precious
So fragile you are
The voices you hear
and the shadows you’re scared of
I will try to protect you
while I know that I can’t
Blessed and naive
Generous heart
Caring and honest
A true piece of art

I have been following VNV and attending their concerts for years. They are an amazing band, so prolific, well travelled, classy, and down to earth. Ronan is such a humble, amazing fellow. I'll never forget his taking a person's cellphone so he could give the person on the other end in hospital a front row experience. But this track, their music, is so moving. Lyrics are so well thought out, and their sound so consistently emotive over the years. Can't say enough good about VNV. realbibliodude
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Terrific minimalist synth music from Melbourne, where robotic electronics lock into rigid beats to make a Kraftwerkian wonder. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2021
