Shari Vari is a dear friend and inspiration to me. Void Vision is a project that is uncompromising. She’s a fantastic songwriter, singer and musician - anyone who has seen her play live knows this. We first started working together when I was asked to play Wave-Gotik-Treffen and Plage Noire festivals in Germany during 2022. I really didn’t want to play them alone and I asked if Shari would be interested in playing in NightNight as duo for the performances. We had an amazing time working together, even traveling internationally with equipment through the highest of COVID restrictions. We knew we had to keep working together. For the shows, Shari had suggested remixing her favorite NightNight track, “Maybe It’s Too Late”. Her instinct was to increase the speed, add in some more textures and make it an overall more danceable track. Her remix is such a natural translation - a mix that could only have been done by someone who knows me and the music well.
lyrics
Maybe, it’s too late, I know.
It never had a chance.
We can’t help our circumstances, So, maybe now we’ll never know. Such a risk to take.
My stomach hurts.
My body shakes.
Maybe, it’s too late.
I seem to know this place.
The smell, the taste,
It’s so familiar.
I’d like to burn this nest.
The paper dolls we dress. While lying naked with my killer.
Maybe, it’s too late, I know.
It never had a chance.
We can’t help our circumstances, So, maybe now we’ll never know. Such a risk to take.
My stomach hurts.
My body shakes.
The need to let it die.
To stand and watch it writhe,
Or live inside a lie
Over and over and over and over again..
Maybe it’s too late, I know.
It never had a chance.
We can’t help our circumstances So maybe now we’ll never know. Such a risk to take.
My stomach hurts
My body shakes.
Maybe, it’s too late.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
