VNV Nation - From my hands

2020 and I'm still ugly crying to this video.

Sang this to my dog before i had to put him down. Thank you for 16 great years Ein. Have fun chasing cats in heaven.

Impossible to not cry every single time I watch this.

Doesn't matter how many times I've heard this song over the years, it still fucking breaks me into pieces.

Probably one of the most emotionally-charged songs I've ever heard. Beautifully written and sensitively orchestrated.

Jeden Sonntag besuche ich das Grab meiner Mama und höre dieses Lied auf meinen Kopfhörern. Jedes mal muss ich weinen. Ich bin so unglaublich traurig. Ich hoffe so sehr, dass ich sie eines Tages wiedersehe.

I lost my Dad when I was 11. And just like in this video ... I always hoped he would come back, I imagined he'd just gone somewhere. I miss you, Dad.

10 years, Daddy. Rest in Peace. I'm doing much better, now. I got help, and I'm working on being happy. I haven't tried to go to see you in 3 years, now. I have a beautiful wife, and a life you'd be proud of. I'm working on that book you wanted me to write. I love you.

I sent this video to Ronin Harris of VNV Nation who of course sang this song...He wrote back saying how beautiful this video was and was all choked up. I still get teary when I hear this song....

I burst into tears the first time i watched this video along with the song.  I might add that i am a 48 year old straight male.

Every time I listen to this, I think of the torn relationship between myself and my father. As I grow older, I keep hope and try my best to provide a life for my children that will encourage them to maintain their relationship with me. I haven't spoken to my father in years, I miss him very much. I find these youtube comments a silent place to voice my thoughts. I can only hope to instill the values and morals that my father gave to me in my children and give them wonderful and fulfilling lives to live out together. It's a hard thing to do when you don't communicate with your own parents, but I have hope. My greatest fear is getting that phone call that my father has passed and we will still have not patched things up or spoken.

My wife has left me and it's so hard to let her go. I miss her so much. Thank you for sharing this song. Music is honestly the only way I'm holding on right now. Thank you.

So much I've thought I'd have to say Though I try to speak My meaning strays We can't avoid The facts that brought us here I've come to say goodbye The lies I try To tell with my own eyes An act of pride A wilful compromise Please understand How torn I am When I walk away from here I lament The moments we won't share If I am far too sentimental, I apologize Please understand This is who I am And who'll I'll still be  When I've walked away from here You know I'm not unkind When I say  In the future  The past is just the past No going back  No change of heart  But this is now  Time will not defer My thoughts betray So easily confess How long I'll wait here After you have gone Nothing ends But I won't believe that now Please don't walk away from here And when alone When I remember days Nothing will change  A single fact of who you were to me Oh come what may  Forever to the end I find it so hard to let you go Hush now Let it go now There's no need  For sad goodbyes Hush now Let it go now I know it's time to go Time to let this fall  From my hands

No matter how hard you try not to feel. This song just cuts through the barriers you put around your soul like a river crashing upon a mountain, it slowly wears a hole through your hardened heart

Oh. My. God. I have never cried this hard, or been this moved, in my whole life. Brilliant.

Lost my father April 20..2018..rest easy dad..you were the most amazing loving person a son could ever hope or wish for....

My mother passed away about three years ago and I still can't get over her death. This video helped me in a way. In my heart I know when it's my turn to leave this earth , she will be waiting for me with open arms to welcome me into her new world. A place where there is only love & peace for everyone. With no more tears or heartache. I will never give up this hope of seeing her again. Thank-you for posting such a moving video.

VNV Nation writes songs about everything. Everything. Life, death, love, war, afterdeath, existence. Everything. And by listening to them, you can understand it all, but you will still be left with more questions. Only difference is that you'll feel content not always having the answers.

This is one of the most moving songs/videos I have ever watched. I have been revisiting it since first introduced to it about three years ago. I can't believe how much I have changed, and how much this song and video still impact me.

I can only cry, but, as A23 says in another immense song (Damaged), there's beauty in hardship, there are poems in grief. And this song is the best example of that.
