-------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone, before anything i'd like to give a huge huge thanks to the team who has been helping me on this project for so long already
Aishy is an absolutely crazy cool photographer that you've probably heard of before if you follow my work, he's been providing me with absolutely gorgeous visuals for the longest time but this is the first time we got to work together on a full fledged recorded MV ! Even though it was recorded in my apartment with very few ressources, he managed to make everything look absolutely gorgeous and i can't thank him enough for the amount of passion, skill and effort he put into this 💜 Please check his work out !!
Alexia on her end has been an absolute blast to work with, she made this track just as much as i did with how wonderful her performance and writing were. Please check out her stuff and give her some love, she is SO underrated
An additional huge thanks to Julia who you're probably familiar with now ! She made the string arrangement for Deja Vu and many other projects, she's been sooo helpful to bring extra flavour with her super sweet takes on this track, and others that you might hear this year :D
For those who remember when i released 'Von', i mentioned that it was the first part of a bigger project that i've been working on for a hot minute
"Von" is actually the name of the game i'm working on, and i'm so glad to finally be able to share some tracks that i plan on having in the game, it's definitely a passion project that will take a while to finish but i wanted to start sharing some of the progress done, would it be on the music side of things or the development of the project as it goes !
If you'd like to follow our progress, follow us here ! : / playvon_
If you're interested by knowing more about it, feel free to follow the game's twitter right here :D / playvon_
-------------------------------------------------
Lyrics :
It feels so strange
The pain won't dissipate
Memories fade, where have they all gone ?
Fragile light
Wistful eyes
The shadows of the past are far out of reach
Grasping on a thread of hope
Long forgotten warmth that feels familiar
Quiet nights, lonely skies
Wandering without a reason, trapped in time
Fate if you're out there heed my cry
Just give me an answer so i can finally say goodbye

[@AishyZz]

What a wonderful project! Thank you for giving me the freedom to express in images the vision I had of this sweet melody.
Huge congratulations for your work on this track Diego, Alexia & Julia.
Guys take off your sweater because it's going to be warm and soft! 🔥💞

[@PrettyPatterns]

[@mauricioaguilar7227]

The visuals, the vocals, that magnificent Piano, the cinematic feel, the hand reveal everything works so well for this beatifull musical piece. I was sure this was gonna be divine to listen to and it of course it was. TYSM Diego and all you team for blessing again with another amaizing song i won't mind listening all day. Lots of claps to all of you and the wait was worth it.👏

[@PrettyPatterns]

HAHAHA the hand reveal !! THank you Gaston for real, you've been nothing but super sweet and supportive for months now, i really appreciate your presence around here and other people's stuff, you're great and i'll do my best to deserve that support

[@PrettyPatterns]

Thank you so much for coming all the way here from spotify !!

[@GydeonZ]

​@@PrettyPatternsyups np man I listen to all of your songs on spotify after I found this song and I like them all really good job for making such a touching music

[@nana-cp1mf]

beautiful~

[@bettiepop]

This is just what I needed to hear today, and probably for a while. Going through a rough spot and the lyrics, the music, it all is so healing. Thanks Diego and the whole team for such a beautiful piece. 💛

[@PrettyPatterns]

Thank you so much !! I hope life will be kinder to you as time passes, i started working on this track while being in a rough patch myself so i hope we can share a tiny bit of these burdens through music, take care Bettie, things will get better

[@Default_Rain]

Beautiful song... I'm trying to find words for this masterpiece.
The piano, so simple, yet complex and downright comforting.
The strings, a perfect accompaniment leading to a fuller sound and adds more emotions.
The cinematography, beautiful shots. It adds to the feeling of the song.
The vocals! Bruhhh, perfection.
And the lyrics were, I'll be honest, the last thing I listened to. It took me at least 5 repeats for me to actually listen to them, but in that time, I realized the song fully encompassed what I feel in my day-to-day life whenever I let my mind wander.
Truly beautiful, Diego. Can't wait for the EP. Those sounded heavenly too.

[@PrettyPatterns]

Thank you so much woah .. Honestly i'm so lucky to be working with people that make that sort of project possible in the first place, i'm so glad you enjoyed the track so much, i really wanna keep doing things like this for as long as possible, so having that sort of support while doing it means the world

[@tuananhle1214]

Just want to say how much this song moved me and helped me out when i was feeling low. I was at a low point but hearing this literally made me felt a peace and thought life was worth living just so i could hear this

[@PrettyPatterns]

Things are always rough at times but some moments are definitely worth all the trouble, i really hope things will get better on your end regardless though !! thank you so much and take care ♥

I don't know how to explain. When I listen to your music I feel so hopeful for a future I otherwise fear. The melodies make me feel like the world I live in is beautiful.
It helps me take a step back and realize I'm happy to still be breathing.
Thank you for the wonderful work you do. You are amazing.

[@PrettyPatterns]

I think there's comfort in knowing things will be tough, if you can accept that for yourself then everything that comes from there will feel surmountable even if it's still hard to navigate through
I'm really really happy you feel that way about these pieces for real, thank you so so much

[@MunchMeisterVT]

Beautiful song, I love everything about this so much! Well done!!!
About the name of the game, apparently Von is Icelandic for "Hope". I'm looking forward to it!!
.. Not sure if it's a coincidence, but does this happen to be a reference to the song of the same name from the anime Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Resonance)? Both give off such an ethereal and emotional vibe!

[@PrettyPatterns]

Thank you so much !
Good guess on both parts, it was definitely a reference to the Yokko Kano x Arnor Dan song, has been an insane influence and inspiration for me for years now ! Thought i'd pay them a little hommage with that name haha

[@rochichan]

Everyone’s saying such nice things that I feel like I’ll just be repeating and recycling so I’ll use my pretty pattern fan brain to say AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAああああああああああ
