Van Vernon – For Personal Reason

For Personal Reason is the debut album from Van Vernon—an intimate, emotionally rich collection of thirteen songs that dive deep into love, loss, change, and quiet rebellion. With poetic lyrics and raw vulnerability, Vernon explores the grace of resilience (“Ballerina”), the ache of growing older (“Forty Five”), and the quiet unrest of a fractured world (“Rubicon”). This isn’t just a debut—it’s a fully-formed artistic statement, inviting listeners into a deeply human, deeply felt conversation.

Recorded between May and November 2024 at Double V Record Studios in the Swiss Alps.

„Finally I can present my debut album “For personal Reasons” here and now. My journey began years ago. I have climbed mountains and descended into countless valleys. Haunted by doubt, I almost gave up and then picked myself up again and kept going. Further than I ever thought I would. So now it's finally here - the first album. 13 songs that tell stories about life and other things. Partly autobiographical, partly fictional but always based on experiences. Influenced by the overwhelming nature of the Alps. Archaic, dark, brightly shining, sparkling and full of color. The album is no longer mine. I made it and sent it out into the world. It now belongs to you, dear listener, and I hope it tells you your own stories.“ Van Vernon
