El primer intermedio será protagonizado, como no, por una de las bandas que más ha influído en mi vida en los últimos años. La verdad fue una gran sorpresa ya que siempre fui un gran fan del rock y de la música clásica y nunca pensé que un grupo que hiciera música electrónica pudiera tener letras tan profundas.
El grupo es VNV Nation, un dúo proveniente de Gran Bretaña. Su música es denominada "futurepop" y puede verse como una combinación del synthpop, una corriente de música electrónica que tuvo su desarrollo en los 80's, y el EBM (Electro Body Music), un género más cercano al Industrial y que suele ser asociado con movimientos de tipo gótico. Las siglas significan "Victory not Vengeance" que los integrantes atribuyen a la frase "one should strive to achieve, not sit in bitter regret." (Uno debe luchar por alcanzar, no sentarse en amargo arrepentimiento) como explican en su página oficial http://www.vnvnation.com

[February 2000]
At the end of days, at the end of time.
When the Sun burns out will any of this matter.
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?
When the Sun burns out will any of this matter.
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?
And in retrospect I'ill say we've done no wrong.
Who are we to judge what is right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong,
running wild unaware of what might come of us.
Who are we to judge what is right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong,
running wild unaware of what might come of us.
The Sun was born, so it shall die,
so only shadows comfort me.
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
Each day shall end as it begins
and though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
so only shadows comfort me.
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me.
Each day shall end as it begins
and though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Without a thought I will see everything eternal,
forget that once we were just dust from heavens far.
As we were forged we shall return, perhaps some day.
I will remember you and wonder who we were.
forget that once we were just dust from heavens far.
As we were forged we shall return, perhaps some day.
I will remember you and wonder who we were.
