I completely love this song. The VNV Nation remix especially, I feel, gives it the atmosphere and power it deserves. The song, to me, feels like it's about that feeling of being so in love with someone that any time you're around them you're completely awed and swept away by their presence... and then somehow it's gone. Petty things and fights get in the way, and you find yourself wondering how you lost true love over something petty.
I love Claire Voyant. Victoria Lloyd's voice is just amazing, and the gentle tone of the music is perfect. From the first time I heard them I wondered what her voice would sound like with more "bouncier" music. The closest I got at first were songs like Luxt's excellent remix of "Time and the Maiden" (and oh, how I miss Luxt!), which is excellent.
And then I found out Victoria Lloyd has worked on a few side projects! She was lead singer for Mono Chrome (with Clint Sand of cut.rate.box fame), whose album "Collapse" has a great EBM feel that at times ventures into techno and psytrance-y territory. My personal pick from the album is "This Life" (though those who prefer a gothic feel might prefer "This Death"-- the same song reimagined with a very different vibe).
Those interested in IDM and electro-industrial might also be interested in her side project H.M.B. with Daniel Myer (of Haujobb).
