Veda, Queen of Ireland, presents her debut album "Star's Edge". "I'm all about making pop
music for modern homosexuals. That's the kind of shit I grew up listening to - so that's the
kind of shit I make". For almost a decade now, this "self-made man-made woman" has
been the reigning queen of Dublinâs gay nightlight. Space'N'Veda, her weekly show at The
George, has cult status among Dublin's more discerning homosexualists. It's here where
Veda first showcased her own own brand of electro-pop music, and developed her unique
style of drag performance.
"I've always dreamt of having my own album, all my own songs with a big glossy picture of
me, and my name splashed across the cover. This is it! Of course in my dream, I was
Sheena Easton." The album was written over a period of of two years with electro cutie
NeoSuperVital aka Tim O'Donovan (BellX1 drummer). âStars Edgeâ is Vedaâs first solo
album. Combining electro-pop beats with mid-tempo ballads, it is a reflection of Vedaâs
wide range of musical influences. "The style reflects the things I truly love: beautiful 80's
electro ballads, dirty disco music, thumping dance music and queer pop. I love all the
fabulous freaks, like Steve Strange, Pete Burns and Boy George and all the new queens
too, like Justin Bond, Our Lady J, Jonny Woo, Patrick Wolf, Empire of the Sun and MGMT."
Veda's lyrics paint a musical portrait of life lived in an underground club world, a trannimal
jungle where bears eat chickens and where tranny-chasers and drag queens take turns
eating each other. "There's a lot of breakup songs on this album, cause there's been a lot
of breakups. But some of these songs were written for the queens that I work with, in the
spirit of friendship and to try and capture some of their glitter and sparkle in music.
Except Dolly."
The album smells of petrol and perfume, glistens like silver sequins and is fresher than a
new pair of tights. This glittering collection of songs conceived and born live on stage has
finally been distilled and bottled for your pleasure.
Redemption Soon
Veda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my eyes they torture me
my heart it falls so fast, but it looks back
my knees are getting weaker each passing day
with each word of disapproval my backbone falters
could this be my ticket out of here
could this be the one i'm dreaming of
could this be redemption soon
believe me when i say
i'm trying to make it just like you
could you show some grace
fall back into my spell
into my hell
you don't even know where i come from anymore
it used to be so easy
your provision doesn't even fall on my land anymore
conversation weakens in your eyes
In "Redemption Soon" by Veda, the song captures the emotions of someone who is struggling with their identity and searching for redemption. The opening lines highlight the idea that this person is unable to rest, with their eyes unable to close, causing inner turmoil. The heart follows suit and is constantly looking back causing the person to feel like they need to escape from their current situation. The constant disapproval of others causes the singer's confidence to weaken to the point that even their backbone begins to falter.
The chorus is the plea for redemption, with the singer searching for a way to escape the torment they are experiencing. They acknowledge that they are trying to match up to the expectations that have been set before them but feel as though they are failing. They plead for grace and for a way back into the good graces of those around them. Then, we get a glimpse of where this person has come from and how much they have changed. The provision that used to be readily available to them is now gone, and they feel forgotten, as if their needs are no longer being met. The song ends with the idea that communication is no longer effortless and that the relationship between the singer and the others in the song is strained.
