  • Of course is god an astronaut. Or better: he was one.

  • Is god an astraunat?

  • 11 people are dead and cremated dust not amongst the living to enjoy this beautiful music.lol

  • @ratamuerta01 Uh what does this have anything to do with this song?

  • 1.45 send to me different world..

  • Simply perfect. Indescribable feelings.

  • i feel the pain.

  • flubba dubba

  • lol I love all these deep comments XD

  • Cazzo, provate ad immaginare quanto vi amo!

  • Not that it isn't good. It is just all to real and very poignant for being so. So much pain, suffering, brutality and cruelty when we are capable of so much better. As ALL Life on our world is VERY rapidly being extinguished for the lack of Wisdom to wield such awesome power that we have unlocked, We are well past the point of no return and on the threshold.. Will we unify and pull together in Enlightenment or revert to barbaric tribalism as we all plummet into the endless void of the Abyss?

  • @DougRH52 you are so right~ we all have to get together join in our own masses~strength in numbers~its almost time to revolt~ a revolution is in dire need~ it is time for change other wise we will be be destroyed by our own devices

  • who?

  • 2:33, Muhammad Ali

  • i wish maynard would sing for one these guys albums

  • @pawnsinplay this music is perfect, it needs no singer.

  • like i said sing for ONE of their albums, a collaboration of ideas clashing into something new. I love their music and i love to see things expand. If they had a choice in a singer I would choose Maynard. If you listened to TOOL you would know why.

  • 1:25 reminded me a album art...

  • I think it´s music to drive, but i like it XD

  • 0:27 The dude from the movie Inception.

  • You guys don't get it! The main point of this whole video and the name of the band goes back to the stupid idea of religion. We kill each other in the name of God. Muslims kill us, as we are Infidels for me, we killed Jews and all that jazz. This is fucking stupid we need to kill the religion

  • @GGG4733 Very true and well said. I think the song is also asking the question of how there could be a God is he/she allows such atrocities to occur and to inflict so much suffering on innocent people. Yes, there are evil people in the world, but why should innocent people suffer?

  • fish

  • giaa is perfect, such a beautiful music i love it

  • aaaaxxx apisteuto tragoudi...!!!

  • This needs to be played for the final space shuttle launch.

    In 1905, the first heavier-than-air flying machine is invented, lifting us from the dust of the earth to the skies. 55 years later we put a man into space, stepping into the Great Beyond. Now, the most famous icon of space exploration is being grounded permanently. Dust to dust, I suppose.

  • @jackofblades2007 Hopefully we can find a new and better means of space travel, because space travel as a whole is not being discontinued. Just space shuttle trips. I wish people would understand how important exploring space is, and how can we understand ourselves without understanding what's around us? I hope this does not mean the end of the space program.

  • @Santeria231 , im already in da space dude, its great :-" , u can do it man , just a lil bit of dope and u got ur space travel Suit on ;)

  • that boy haunts me..

  • awsome song just awsome

  • brilliant video, your creation?

    The very beginning with that boy, being waken from sleep(as i saw it),seemed scared shitless as his chest starts beating heavy, while he's looking around to try and make reason for this sudden fear...that's as powerful as human emotion gets...the only real people on this earth are children, and to see them scared...scares me

  • i can't believe i'm watching this right before i go to sleep... wtf kind of terrifying dreams am i going to have now...

  • "Cr8 what you can Destroy" Destroy what you can Cr8"

  • Shit sucks

    

  • If you like God Is An Astronaut, Boards of Canada, Helios, Hammock, The Album Leaf, Goldmund, Eluvium, Rachel's, and similar artists, you might like my stuff. I'd love some support. :)

  • tune

  • Well you shut the fuck up?! Enough of the politics! Listen this amazing track!

  • Comment removed

  • @blackghost2516 Halo Reach for Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • @gfgfdger0 wow sure that dosent sound like a fanboy at alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllll

  • Ok, I Think I have a major problem, in which I think I need to seek immediate professional help. I have become addicted to GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT!!

  • GIAA are so much better than Mogwai

  • god ...god...god

  • holy shit! this is great.

  • finally a youtube argument worth reading. 

  • War is rationalized violence against another group of people. Animals are not self-conscious of their actions. We organize mass killings and then glorify them as victories. Ants and other animals are not conducting warfare, they are simply reacting to their immediate environment.

  • @extropian I totally disagree that animals are not self-conscious. The term itself is to vague but implies an inferiority to the cognitive abilities of other animals. Characterizing all wars as mass killings which are glorified by the victors is not just. War itself is derived from the primal instincts of man. I concede that humans give undue symbolism to war, but war itself is not an act of barbarism. Nature is full of instances that constitute "mass killings". Violence is not unique to man.

  • @varg42 Violence is not unique to man. But the technology man uses to instigate mass killings is.

  • @varg42 it has been observed that other apes lead wars. It is nonsence to think that we have somethink in our biology or dna that other animals don't. Unfortunately it is the bronze age view from the time when people needed to be separated from nature.

    All we have are some behavioral patterns that however aren't given, but are passed on from generation to generation. Everything we have we have thanx to people before us.

  • Comment removed

  • i agree we are being fed one lie after another to the powers to be u have no control over me i am a free spirit, i will forever continue to listen to music like this my soul will soar and u cant do anything about it

  • Bands like God is an Astronaut show something that connects us, something beyond all the differences, beyond all of the wants and needs.

  • Dutchy Man without Modem and passTheword sent me here :)

  • thumbs up if virture and vice halo reach beta montage brought you here

  • love this song

  • Nice clip of the part more terrible and cold of the uman-world.

    I Hate the War.

    I Love the peace.

    Peace!

  • One day, we may learn, that we are all one in the same on this planet, that our differences are what unites us, that our different skin or beliefs all add to the beauty that is life on this planet. A beauty, that we as humans have corrupted and contaminated with our own personal vices, greeds, and egos. One day, I hope we can learn to let go. Just let go. Let go, and Love

  • pTw FTW

  • pTw sent me

  • This video is freakin EPIC. It's so damn beautiful. Watched this video like 10 times in the past hour.Thank You for making this.

  • 3:45 greatest picture ever taken...

  • You are wrong.

    Peace is not a thing which needs human blood to exists.

    However - as long as we live wars will never end.

  • @Revarax Well, you know what they say, if you want peace prepare for war.

  • @Revarax As long as anything exists there will be war. Animals fighting for food, land and instinct. Galaxies collide and go to war for survival. War is found naturally in everything.

  • @TheGreyKnightXx War is a human invention, animals kill so they can survive, we kill so we can dominate and take what isn't ours.

  • @extropian Animals kill for territory and power all the time. Male lions fight for control of the pride and if they win control they eat the last leader's children. Killer Whales toy with their victims and make them suffer and sometimes don't even eat their prey. War is not a human invention it just is.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheGreyKnightXx .The lion does all the work. He does not call his subordinates to do his work. I feel that a good definition of war is that the will of the few being enforced through violence by others.The only other species that I can think of right now that exhibits similar characteristics to man in manner of war is ants. Since ants predate the evolution of man, I think its fair to say that humans did not create the concept of war. We just fight for intangible things, such as a the pride.

  • @varg42 A lion's pride does work for him and it is enforced. A member that doesn't contribute doesn't eat. It's not a violent way of enforcing but works just as well. But I will agree that we do fight for some intangible things such as pride and love. I find it kind of ironic saying humans fight for intangible things such as pride and the example we are using, lions, in a group are called a pride. So technically everything they do is for pride, their pride.

  • Masterpiece.

    Sound and clip which makes people think about everything around us is definitely a masterpiece...

    Im glad that there, somewhere there - true people exists.

  • real life is cold and fucked up

  • guys, calm down, its a song, its not meant to make you think about your existence, its made so you can enjoy it, so lets just enjoy it, rather than straining ourselves thinking about our existence. our existence is what it is, now lets listen to the song and enjoy, okay? :)

  • @FleshMan7063 i agree mate just listen the song no matter what someone know or think abaout that everyone here think giaa are amazing thanks btw i se ya like this kind of music try hammock band ...cheers and a add one thump up =P

  • @FleshMan7063

    Music is something that touches people personally; something that language can never do. To tell music what it should and shouldnt do is arrogant and out of your control. Let music do what it supposed to do and let people respond to how it makes them feel. okay? :)

  • gr8 video Lovesaves

  • I downloaded this song and everytime i play halo reach i play this song all the time

  • @breen099 DUDE HALO REACH OWNS XD

    the shooting is brutal thats real life

  • this song makes me feel great

  • Thumbs Up If That "Halo: Reach" Video Got You Here  :D

  • halo reach got me here

  • stupenda, come tutto l'album che finalmente sono riuscita ad avere !!!!! ^__^

  • God is an astronaut:

    Powerful

    Postrock

    Positive music

    This music touches something greater than what words can grasp.. Why would they even bother putting in music what they could simply express in words ?

    There is no need for lyrics.

  • This is some true Goldeneye music right here.

  • I just like the music

  • I see allot of WWI and WWII footage in this video. Very sad and touching!

  • Capitalism and money is reason for war.

  • @TheHoppalayarim Human greed and egoistical nature is the cause of capitalism and war. Religion as well. Do not blame superficial things, we as a species are the one to blame.

  • @TheHoppalayarim something so complicated as war is never caused by one thing. Capitalism is bad, but relax, humans fought before Adam Smith dreamed up capitalism...

  • @TheHoppalayarim Capitalism means free trade, i.e. peaceful cooperation, and money makes trade - i.e. getting along peacefully without resorting to violence - possible, as it overcomes the problem of the need for the coincidence of wants. Governments and politics are the reason for war. In fact, the government is war, a perpetual war against its citizens. Capitalism and (real, not fiat paper) money are the opposites of government, and thus the opposites of war. Restricting free trade is war.

  • @jrgenkratz I like your perspective, however America was founded on laissez-faire Capitalism - describes an environment in which transactions between private parties are free from state intervention, including restrictive regulations, taxes, tariffs and enforced monopolies.

  • @corruptied FOUNDED? No. That began in earnest after the Civil War. Modern capitalism has very little to do with what America was founded on.

  • @TheHoppalayarim You mean PERVERTED capitalism....don't forget that.

  • I think we are all ceramic pigs in someone's cupboard. That is all.

  • Really? Do you really have to? Hey, why don't you people do this too? Next time someone says "Oh my god". You go on and preach your views and beliefs to them too.

    I mean, that's what you're doing here is it not? You people see the word 'god' and it's like "OHHHH I HAVE TO TELL THESE STRANGERS MY VIEWS ON RELIGION. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY GIVE A FLYING FUCK, ALL I WANT IS TO BE HEARD!"

  • @theCure1234 You really needed to say that even more than they said that shit about religion.. No offense but think before you speak.. And for people who may read this.. ive said this, so you dont need to say it again.. Keep it calm..

  • @theCure1234 Amen

  • I dont know why, but God is an astronaut reminds me Pink Floyd in a strange way...

  • This is true Goldeneye music for real.

  • I wish youtube had a repeat button..this song is sooo emotional and powerful..very moving in many ways!!

  • @tmun24 its called endlessyoutube 

  • HALO REACH BETA MONTAGE

  • @blackghost2516 lol thats how i found this too

  • @blackghost2516 I see i wasn't the only one who found this amazing instrumental peice by watching that video. Lol

  • @blackghost2516 me too this song is awesome

  • @blackghost2516 Shame on you for finding this masterpiece through some shitty game.

  • @Silvade14 educate yourself

  • @Silvade14 Theres nothing wrong with the game its just this song was to awsome for the game MONTAGE

  • @Foxman955 No actually.

    Halo's story fits this theme and almost everything made by GiAA perfectly.

    But I get (and respect) what you're saying.

  • @Ins3ktz well i rekon It kind of sounds a little to techno for use accual in game but otherwise yea maybe

  • @Silvade14 I found this piece years before I saw that game.

    I like the series.

    I love the music.

    Umadbro?

  • @blackghost2516 this song is about pain and destruction that brings war.... it has antiviolence meaning... so go away with ur stupid computer games

  • You guys are thinking to far,you should really drop the PCP.This is simply a song to enjoy like any other song. Chuck norris is god,like it or not.

  • @fatmanontherun spot on!

  • bah generic internet philosophy.

  • seen them in cork at the indiependence they were brilliant........!=]

  • that boy in the beginning of this video looks like the boy on the first apple seed cast album

  • wow these comments are deep. all i can say is i love this band

  • their irish ya know... :D

  • @conorb515 ha yeah probably why theyre so good. im half irish myself

  • @richardblabla yeah man im irish too dude... dey grew up just 5 minutes from my house my family know there family man :D

  • crazy song awesome band and a shady vid, its all u need

  • @Haruntanazar it's starting to make sense now! One must defeat himself to find that light! By meaning himself as his ego. A war with oneself O.o

  • all we can do is fight the dark but how do we fight when we have no light.

  • @makman09 Well said, i think life is a total mystery and it is all about searching that light. And i think about finding this light these days quite often. Our civilized and modern world has a lot of misunderstood concepts like god, like humanity, like peace. But ı don't know the truth either. The answer is not in the things that comes from this corrupted world. Forget about democracy, rule yourself. Forget about religion, find the god himself, forget about society, find the peace within you.

  • Righteous words of wisdom! right on! well said. what is life with out mystery and wonder?! with out curiosity!? BORING... "imagination is more important than knowledge"

  • @nickloco6 What is imagination without knowledge? Knowledge is the only real power of the individual. What we don't know is what they use to control us, what we do know is what they are afraid.

  • @BollocksUtwat who's they?

  • @BollocksUtwat imagination is what created there to be(reality) for you to have knowledge of. Knowledge is just knowing of the imagined. So much has been imagined that some only have very little Knowledge about how much is Imagined & how complex yet simplistic "this" really is. Making sense of Nonsense is how you get no where fast.

  • @MeurglysIV Good post! have you read the book A New Earth by Eckhardt Tolle? It's great, I feel the awakening too.

  • @deftdrummer Checking, altough i don't read that much :)

  • @MeurglysIV very well said

  • @MeurglysIV I think like you. I dont know you personally but you are like my brother when you say : "Forget about democracy, rule yourself. Forget about religion, find the god himself, forget about society, find the peace within you. " After all, in fact , the human race are, we are not also intelligents.

    I think the most important is searching at inside ourself. SELF-CONCIOUSNESS too, help to be a human. (sorry for my approximate english, i'm french and i'm global citizen too.)

  • wow...THe song was intense...Together with the video it totally blew me away...What a great, magical work! I love GIAA, their music is timeless!

    well..hope you don't see this as a spam, but I thought this might interest some of you..I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia"

    Take the time and listen to their song "Falling into nothingness"

    Incredibly powerful song by this extremely young guy...just give him a chance..

  • Haunting video ...like it.Cheers!

  • Amazing track

  • What a great band.

  • so... do you want to start a war? such a great song with an amazing video.

  • much rather listen to GIAA than GS!BE. their self titled is a MASTERPIECE. i can listen to that whole thing through without losing focus at all. shadows, echoes, no return, zodiac just to name a few songs.. if you like GIAA listen to FMTM... get 'on little known frequencies' and learn it off by heart and then just feel happy..

  • God Is An Astronaut

  • Shit I will never forgive myself for not going to their concert in Cracov last year......

    GIAA for the win

  • this year giaa will be in poland again!

  • kiedy, gdzie jak ? :D

  • PEAK!!!!

  • war is business, profit and power for a few at the expense of the many;

    religion is a nice little way of keeping the masses in line

  • Comment removed

  • magic..!!!

  • this video speaks by itself. it tells us and reminds us at what stage we are now... despite the talking and the nice tries and good efforts... lest we forget... the goal is elevation... far , very far and high, very high. not the scenes that we see...

  • I llove god.

  • ORLY?

  • Jakob...GIAA...these two bands exemplify post-rock....a.k.a "telling a story without words." Just phenomenal...

  • Hello Toolddruid. I agree 100% with your comment. Jakob is just a bit higher and unreachable for the rest of the bands :-) but god is god ! :-) they both are unbeliavable in their own way !!!!

  • i agree with you 100%. it's just that jakob is top class and haven't found nor heard anyone like them so far! but god.. is god :-) both are the greatest expression of instrumental music (postrock or whatever we wanna call it) these days...

  • I really like Godspeed You! Black Emperor as well. Little slower and has longer songs, but the movements remind me of classical music. It has some real extreme talent. But Like you said, each has their own sound and GIAA and jakob are both great!

  • @riddlesolved Your love for Jakob has me sold. You know man...Anyone that says Jakob is top class will get a reply from me. GIAA and Jakob both are amazing and extremely underrated.

  • Nice video =O

  • I don't know what the truth is. I only know what I feel. I feel there is more to us than we have expreienced...God, no I feel deeply that it is a lie. But, I feel immensely that we are spiritual in a nature we have no idea about because we have been blinded from our truth. We serve a lie.

  • I don't think we serve a lie.

    We must learn to see the universe, and it's inhabitants differently.

    We are trying to achieve the wrong things, if you ask me.

    Although, there is much lying going on everywhere, and the world as we know it creates psychological diseases and suffering.

    I think we need to all sit down, shut the fuck up and change pretty much of what is going on here.

    God is an Astronaut :) <3

  • @TiasAhlgreN "Same game different frame " Well said!

  • @TiasAhlgreN Couldn't agree with you anymore, Well Said...

  • @TiasAhlgreN for Congress 1st vote starts here !

  • @TiasAhlgreN Truth...well said, I will forward your words to my friends.

  • @TiasAhlgreN Truth ..to a $ociety Comfortably Numb ! after this, take a listen to...

    Ride "Leave them all behind "...enjoy

  • YESSSSSSSSSSs

  • @massterra We don't even know why we're here. So no one can say they serve anything. All we are is a different energy transfer form.

  • GIAA <3

  • the first soldier looks like heath ledger

  • My favorite melody on this masterpiece of a debut by GIAA, as well as the album title-track.......the End of the Beginning. All their work is worth a listen, but this one is special!

  • I don't think it's made to necessarily to match the tune, but to convey the truth
