  • @stabwound16 yeah I see your point, well said

  • Great music but MAN this video's quality is just horrific :(

  • Why isn't music like this having millions of views? Oh wait...."artists" like Nicki Minaj and Bieber are getting them and for what? songs like Stupid Hoe and Baby? Gimme a fuckin break man. Bottom line if we want the true art of music back out in the spotlight, it's up to us fans to promote them as much as we can cuz the media sure as hell won't. Start using Facebook, twitter, whatever social network to get these names out. These musicians need the recognition they deserve people.

  • @Grilasap That is all very true but there's no regognition or fame needed... The moment people start to realise that this music is superior, is the moment this music dies!! It is vital that music like this stays as 'low' as possible to avoid falling into the hands of the majority of this disgusting society... Those who have the ability to understand and appreciate these sounds are the ones worthy of it's presence... Most people today don't even bother to question the meaning of talent.

  • oh. my. god.

    

  • I'm on you tube because of Post Rock/Progressive rock/instrumental....one question. can you FEEL the energy?

  • anyone know where i can get this album for free

  • @abarbar06 buy it!

  • Does anybody know if this song was featured in movies?

  • Guys guys! go to 2min of miley cyrus - right here

    /watch?v=B-4XYkeAK6k

    I loled!

  • These guys and Hammock changed my liife

  • @commonloon0 Love Hammock. If you haven't listened to Balmorhea I highly recommend them.

  • <3

    

  • Wait, There are seriously dislikes on this. Either they have no attention span and they can't make it past a 3 minute song, or they just have no soul.

  • @TOOLbottomfeeder7001

    or they have actual taste.

  • My favorite Genre of music. It's not mood altering, most of the time, but mostly enhances every emotion and feeling you have while listening to the song. This is true art!

  • 4:02 *Headbang*

  • @darthsarth no

  • I lied down on the floor, shut my eyes, and played this song through some really good noise-cancelling headphones. It felt like I was sinking ever deeper into a pool of sound, not noise, but sound. Pure Sound.

  • Add Chino Moreno and this band could be the best known band in the world.

  • @GenerationMine I believe that you are thinking more of a short bald individual named Maynard James Keenan.

  • @TOOLbottomfeeder7001 Both Chino and Maynard would great in this band. It would be an orgasm to my ears.

  • @GenerationMine

    Maynard + this = astronomical God.

  • this band is just a rip off of ozzy osbourne

  • @mickmos wat

    

  • @mickmos what ???

  • Fuck whoever hates this song or band these guys are fucking awesome!!!!

  • This music can say so much, but just so much without use of any words

    Amazing

    This band shivers my soul

    @Chazgd yes man you are totally right!

  • a bit boring if you ask me, need vocalist and not much progression going on

  • @SwirlyBrokenHearts yes, but shut up or you'll get flamed. This people dont like there music analyzed...

  • Originality and individualism are noble traits which come at a price in the this world in terms of those who decide what's commercially viable and what is not. The pioneer spirit which unearthed the likes of Bowie or the Beatles is gone and has been replaced on the whole by formulaic elevator music devoid of edge and produced without risk by men who wear their waistband around their armpits. This band is in dire need of a multi threaded and concerted marketing campaign at viral level and beyond

  • this is not pink floyd. fuck you !

  • @CrownVictoriaBand who dare said this was pink floyd

  • low quality ;/

  • i can't express the way it makes me feel. maybe...amazingly incredible! No -even that doesn't have that powerful and inspiring feel to it. I will just continue to sit here and repeated hit the repeat button ^_^

  • When I first heard GiA I threw everything out of a window (metaphorically) I thought music was. It's highly subjective, but this, THIS is what I think real music is. This music truly emotionally satisfies me, though I'm not an emotional-kind of a guy. So I bow low to the gentlemen who made this astonishing an miracilous music.

  • @Justas923

    Perfectly stated; this music captures true emotion without overdoing it. How great the world would be if everyone could just experience the feelings brought upon by this specific type of music.

  • @ImpendingSerendipity They already do, minimalism is based on the idea that concentrating on a small idea can pronounce itself to a unique level not achievable through raw talent like Beethoven's. Thats why modern musicians usually cant write their own music, because its easier to achieve 'something' but doing a silly thing again and again until it feels spiritual rather than doing a monolith of creativity like they used to. Everyone can experience it, but can everyone say if it was worth?

  • Comment removed

  • jerbear showed me this song a while ago havent heard it in such a long time

  • love it! <3

  • Comment removed

  • @mickmos bollocks, you have know idea what you're saying dude, you could not get two more differing bands.. muse are a pain in the ass most of the time anyway

  • @mickmos your a fuckin idiot,how is this ripping off muse,theres no lyrics for a start and no high pitched screaming

  • @mickmos muse is garbage and they are also an over the top "polished" version of radiohead wannabes

  • @aristurtle1 There we go

  • @mickmos you stupid prick. 

  • I. Freaking. Love. This. Song. I also freakin hate all you losers that keep criticizing this song.... Just shut up and go away. No need to bring everyone else's mood down.

  • now i know y they call it god is an astronaut

  • @HardCoreGamer997 its pretty self explanatory, really

  • yyeess ii aamm

    

  • Surely one of the best bands I' ve listened to the last year...

  • ΚΟΜΜΑΤΑΡΑ!!!!

  • This band is just a rip off of metallica.

  • @mickmos Haha, you must be 10 years old or something.

  • @MatthiasHyde you must be a big doodoo head

  • @mickmos omg are you that mentally retarded. I mean there not even in the same genre. There completely different.

  • @mickmos

    best joke I've heared today

  • @mickmos I want an honest answer. How are these a rip off of Metallica?

  • @potterhead321 HAHAHAHAHA, fucking yeah RIGHT. Metallica eats these guys for breakfast. Dont get me wrong, I dig GIA, but really, Metallica is Metallica... I don't think I need to explain myself.

  • @darkeststreetx I think you misread my comment. I asked someone their opinion on how these are a rip-off of Metallica. Go search through the comments and you'll find the comment I replied to. I'm not comparing the 2 bands and I never intend to, just to clarify that.

  • @potterhead321 Why would anyone even try to compare the 2? They're entirely different bands with entirely different fans.

  • @studiiamericane2 I wasn't suggesting it, darkeststreetx mentioned something along the lines if it. Maybe he's trolling or something. And I don't compare bands any more as a rule of thumb. I'm not starting a flame war, just putting my opinion there.

  • @studiiamericane2 When was there a comparing of the two? My question was asking how these are a rip off metallica.

  • @mickmos lol!

  • @mickmos

    They don't even play the same style of music or have the same aims in their music.  What are you talking about? Because they both have distorted guitars in their music?

  • Another great instrumental post-rock band discovered

  • Whenever I listen to this band, nothing else really matters.

    I'm really able to just block out the world, and dream of space. <3

  • just remind that i upload that.. still fav

  • ummm your title, Astonaut?

  • wat is the genre for these guys?

  • @PatrickWitt666555 Progressive rock/instrumental/unbelievably­fuckinawesome

  • @ Called Postrock

  • @PatrickWitt666555 its actually called soemthing laki 'shoegazing'

  • @PatrickWitt666555 its actually called soemthing llke 'shoegazing'

  • what genre is this? i just found it.

  • @PocketsGotBigMoney post rock..

  • I've jsu died and gone to heaven

  • You misspelled Astronaut.

  • Is this a christian band?

  • @pogmstillfly ......

  • @pogmstillfly Who gives a fuck? Their music is good...

  • sau gut die band ;)

  • shits magnificent!

  • Thanks THAT Astronaut for giving me ears to listen this awesome music.

  • Thanks THAT astronaut to giving me ears for listening this music

  • this....song....is........AWES­OME! First time I hear about this band, how has this awesomeness eluded me so?!

  • epic harmonies =D ... epic

  • satanic black metal from hell

  • sound depresive well ima go kill myself.

  • @mathy0 Kill yourself then, we obviously don't need close minded cunts like you. If you don't like this music then your soul is obviously dead already. No loss.

  • Intense. Beautiful. Amazing. Why has it taken me so long to discover this band?

  • this sounds really good. i didnt expect it to

  • The music from this incredible band makes me feel like the guy on the album cover

  • awesome..the best fucking song!!!!

  • what the fuck is this

  • @hateme668 This is the beginning of your life.

  • watch?v=KLA_UEL7VUg

  • youtube.com/watch?v=0QR9oB26qr­w

    The same track, with a better sound quality :)

  • Chill out and enjoy.

  • yep (sips beer, hits cigarette)

  • Exactly what's wrong with analysing a song, or criticising it? If it is truly good, then it will withstand criticism, if it is truly music, then it will withstand analysis. Neither analysis nor criticism are innately terrible things.

    Also, what's with people telling other people what they can or can not post?

  • forget about hip-hop,reggeaton,and what people call "the shit of today", post rock is much better than all these combined!!!

  • Great band.

    I feel like you have to be high to fully appreciate them though lol.

  • You dbags holding full length conversations here need to s t f u.

    A simple "god is an astronaut is amazing" comment is more than enough, thx.

    Idiots.

  • @melodic218

    DON'T READ THEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM

    another suggestion, upload your own, then disable comments you piece of shit

    another suggestion, upload your own, then disable comments you piece of shit( i had to say it twice)

    another suggestion, upload your own, then disable comments you piece of shit( i had to say it three times), why? because i knew you'd read it, hypocrite(gotcha)

    I LOVE MY NAME, IN EVERY WAY, PEOPLE ESPECIALLY AMERICANS ARE VILE

  • GIAA is a bit more melodic than Mogwai is, but Mogwai subtler and I can relate to it a bit more... Mixing the two bands into one playlist is fucking epic on a nightly train ride down Chicago...

  • This song is so spaced out :O

  • People just b/c the band has "god" in the title doesn't mean its about god. And how do you even know its about god in the first place, there's no words in the music. Therefore, you can take the music anyway you want you stupid asses. So stop arguing and just listen to the damn song.. and if you don't like it don't listen to it! Its really that simple.

  • @CrazySamantha0214 for all we know, they could've misspelled Cod Is An Astronaut and actually stuck with it

  • @zerfsun lol

  • @the ranters in the comments: Who gives a shit about analyzing a song and how it might fit in the grand scheme of all things (or of the music industries). It's about the friggin song, not about what everything means. Just ENJOY it. If you need to analyze a song to enjoy it, you're doing something wrong.

  • epiiiiiiic

  • @miniioana Theres mountains between being religious and being a satanist.. dont forget theres people that just dont believe in a something godlike, like the atheists and agnostics..

  • God is an Astronaut: the traceur's soundtrack.

  • hahahaha he said that under a song about God

  • @ROy1849 is it? you can take the song as being about god - as i can say its about a near death experience or about an orgasm - but just because the band has 'GOD' in its name doesn't mean they are singing in any way about god...

  • @miniioana i know. I looked up the guys and i think there acually satanist. But thats just my opinon

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE GOD DAMN SONG

  • @dsshfjjnh We need more people like you on youtube.

  • @dsshfjjnh I... I think your Caps Lock button might be broken...

  • @dsshfjjnh this is not a song!

  • @dsshfjjnh Amen to that. Best song in the universe!

  • @anonymous564 has been misnamed, she should be @postureman

  • @anonymous564 has been misnamed, she should b @postureman

  • haha did not read any comments haha

  • lol @ comments. they are all like 5 paragraphs long.

  • Somehow it feels like people spent more time convincing eachother of the size of their ego (especially mr NevinJarek). The song seems to be underrated as still no one has succeeded in making a sharp comment which got over 3 thumbs up. in over 100 000 views,, thats emberrassing, please help:p

  • @tubelessreflects Oh, my ego isnt working at its full, it seems so because most human beings are so driven for things such as respect, and I happen to be a very direct person. if anything Im having fun, its a pleasure, not a contest, thats what I have said several times to anonymous, its not a win or loose contest, not a duel of knowledge or display of ego, you might believe it or not but musicians actually like discussing music, its just some people that take it as an offense to respect.

  • @tubelessreflects And by that I mean "hey, its my music, respect it, dont criticize it, dont taxidermize it, if you dont like something about it leave, if you cant only say good things about it then fuck off". And by the way, its better to have no high rated comments than a high rated comment that alludes to bieber with 160 thumbs up.

  • this band is awsome...grabbed me immediately. must buy all albums now.

  • Anyway I think you two should stop this discussion. It's kinda getting off track. If you really want to continue do it via PM or something. That'll show whether or not you actually are interested in going any farther.

    And NevinJarek I don't mean anything harsh I'm just trying to express my opinion and each to their own, but this should really stop. Anyhow, I'm out of here.

  • Sorry I understand completely that you're NOT telling me to like it. :P

    But the fact that you think that music should have certain qualities to make it good for "higher tastes" really is very arrogant. Just because you study music at a higher level doesn't mean you like these "higher tastes" now. You've seen qualities that you've studied which you now appreciate. you don't actually like them any better. A taste is per individual and I personally think it's arrogant to think there are levels...

  • I understand completely that you aren't telling me not to like it. But what bothers me is that you seem to think that there are levels of taste. There aren't. Music and how it works on a human level is just an illusion. It doesn't exist. I have done research about the study of music before and I compose a lot myself. Dominant works so good because it registers on a human level as cleaner than other intervals because it has a smaller ratio between the frequency. This is only an illusion however.

  • @SeknaTS I know, its 'sensory' illusions, because colors and tones dont exist, yea, and blue is cool and 5ths create less beat, chill....

  • @NevinJarek We freakin humans for gods sake, we can listen to whatever the hell we like and as long as we like it it's fine. I love this band and no-one really should care what kind of taste the music is and how much talent it took to create it.

    If you like it you like it and if you don't you don't. There shouldn't be any in-depth thought as long as the creators made it because they liked it and not to make money.

  • @SeknaTS Im not telling you not to like it, please read carefully before posting naive comments, and I never said nobody should listen to it, I only acknowledged that anyone who likes it has bad tastes, independently of whether they want it or not. And yes, there should be a lot of in-depth thoughts of why do you like something or why dont you like it.

  • @SeknaTS (continued) Understanding music and our syntonization with it has been with musicians since we took it seriously, as our lives. Do you think composers randomized some notes because it was just a fun hobby? They have poured their souls into it, even when they suck at it, they still love their music and will do everything that they can to make it more like they wanted it to be, even if its simple, they want it to be an appropriate representation.

  • @SeknaTS How do you think that we build our music? From inspirations. Do you think that GIAA never studied or analyzed their inspirations or idols? Beethoven analyzed in-depth, studied, and understood Mozart before acquiring a piece of his qualities and mixing it with his own, and GIAA did too, as well as Britney Spears and Metallica. Otherwise everybody would have their own regulative system, tuning, scales and rhythms. We dont, we learn from others, music is both holistic and individualistic.

  • God is dead. ~F.N. 

  • this song is f*ckin'g awesome, replay it again and again and again and again...

  • This sounds like SR-71's "Tomorrow" song, just without the vocals.

  • @usmc212 - a little bit.

  • Comment removed

  • @Warf3reHD dude, your syntax is fucking horrible, are you an asian kid? Learn some english so i can know if youre talking positively or negatively..

  • @kingman4889 nobody said I wasn't enjoying it, however the title still remains mispelt..

  • @japhstar86 not really the essence of the song tbh >>..

  • @MoonrayDrake I agree, not really the essence of the song what so ever, still a bloody shame they couldn't have taken the time to spell the band name correctly, bit of a piss take in all respects
