@grimlund He's the protagonist from a video game called Alan Wake. At the end of the DLC "The Writer" they used this song as the ending tune for the credits.
This song is pure dark energy. Both a supernova and a solar eclipse at once. This is how it feels to be buried in darkness but enlightened by moonlight in the interim.
@DiiDee66 Video game where you play as a writer who has to deal with some spooky shit. The game is broken up into episodes, which I suppose could be like chapters/levels in other games, but each one plays a song at the end and recaps the story so far.
Depeche Modes New music may not have progressed for the better since it's 80's and 90's heyday, but wow, Gahans voice is like fine wine, just gets better with age.
Awesome job in uploading this. I uploaded this myself in august but it never shows up in search results (guessing its a c0pyright issue, sigh). Anyway, thanks :)
@angel1994estrada i konw your comment was posted a year ago, but ill reply anyway by saying you are not the only one hoping!! And im sure you've seen the dissapointing trailer for the new independent downloadable alan wake game : American nightmare. Its just for xbla and ps network. so its not a sequel...
Why would remedy spend two years making a 4 hour long downloadable title when they ended the writer dlc with a genuine lead up to an official sequel?
What I found odd in Alan Wake was that Haunted and Up Jumped The Devil were both shortened in length, but this one was featured in its full 6:42 minute glory (the full versions of the other two are still shorter than Darkest Star).
@alanwakeup1 I have to ask what makes you think this song won't fit the ending to the episode. Something tells me that they wouldn't have picked it unless it fit somehow. I'm sensing some kind of twist to the episode. But thats just me
@alanwakeup1 I don't know, I just beat the dlc and i feel like it really fits. You really sit there and feel done listening to this, now we get to wait for the sequel. :)

Won't lie, Alan Wake led me here. But it's all good in my book. c:
Awesome tune, but I'm surprised it took a video game to help me find this.
