Von Venn’s “Be Free” Is a Call to Think for Yourself
Dublin’s Von Venn are back with “Be Free,” the third single from their forthcoming album “Forgetting the Fall,” and they’re not messing around. After “You Can Talk To Me” and “Only In The Night,” the band has delivered something that feels both urgent and necessary right now.
The song is about exactly what the title says. It’s about thinking for yourself, speaking up, and refusing to let anyone control your perspective. In a world where information gets spun, filtered, and packaged as truth every single day, that message lands hard.
“There’s so much manipulation out there now,” the band explains. “Information gets filtered, twisted, presented as truth when it’s anything but. We wrote this as a reminder to question everything and form your own opinions. Don’t be anyone’s fool. Don’t play to someone else’s agenda.”
Heavy stuff, right? But here’s the thing: “Be Free” doesn’t feel preachy or heavy handed. It’s actually a feel good track that’ll get stuck in your head for days. There’s a nostalgic rock vibe running through it that feels familiar, like revisiting the bands you loved growing up, but with enough modern energy to keep it from feeling like a throwback exercise.
Vocalist Gary Cox really delivers here. His performance has that quality where you hear it once and it stays with you. And that chorus? Good luck getting it out of your head.
The lyrics don’t dance around anything. “Somebody’s watching you, got to keep watching you, checking what you’ve got to say, got to be sure that everybody’s thinking is right.” Then the chorus hits and suddenly you’re moving: “We should be free, say what we want, put it out to hear, tell anyone.”
There’s definitely frustration in this song, maybe even some anger bubbling underneath. But there’s also hope, which is what keeps it from feeling like just another complaint about the state of things. Von Venn aren’t just pointing out problems. They’re reminding you that your voice still matters and you should use it. And they manage to do all of that while making you want to crank the volume.

VAAST drops “Remember These Days” and it seriously feels like the future of French pop
France has given the world some of its biggest electronic icons. From Daft Punk to DJ Snake and David Guetta, French artists have shaped global music culture for decades. But lately, finding a track that mixes real emotion, cinematic vibes and dance energy all at once? Pretty rare.
That’s exactly where Vaast steps in.
His new single “Remember These Days” is an addictive mix of modern French electronic production and timeless pop songwriting. Think emotional melodies, huge atmosphere, deep basslines and the kind of track you want both in your headphones at 2AM and blasting during a late-night drive.
The production blends layered synths, marimba-inspired textures, synthetic African vocal elements and immersive cinematic energy. And yes, there’s even inspiration pulled from Avatar, the legendary movie universe that defined a whole cultural era. That influence gives the track its futuristic-but-nostalgic feeling, like a memory from the future.
