God is an astronaut - Remembrance Day

[TheBozzCL]

Godlike. One of the most atmospheric and powerful songs EVER.

[ImmortalOsiris]

a truely inspirational band <3

[JoeDunn93]

Sounds quite Halo like.

[euamominhairma]

HOW THE FUCK CAN SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS !!!???

[H3ADL1K3AH0L3]

Is it just me or does anyone else see the similarities in the piano melody here and the one used in the outro of "The Perfect Drug" by Nine Inch Nails?

[Xplosive59]

@H3ADL1K3AH0L3 Was just gonna mention that, when i first heard it I was like they took the most awesome part of The Perfect Drug by NIN and made an entire song around it!

[iamnarcotic]

3 people are justin bieber fans apparently

[Metal4live1000]

The song at the end sounds cool..

[MrBignick214]

this song makes me sad :(

[1marcusgibson]

Thumbs up if Michael Jordan Pure Greatness 1995-96 Brought you here!!

[xxswordbenderxx]

which 2 shitheads dislike this song?

[armeniomanuel]

i see faces in the clouds..that one also.. true this musics makes you high..

[ashnavaro]

haha guys , probably we all are high rite now , so sure :D

[themassau]

whats the song at the end?

[HaleQuin]

Does this remind anyone else of the music from the original Spyro game?

[Goth89Tube]

@HaleQuin Ahah because of the pads and the bright keyboard. But it's actually simplistic music, it can sound like a lot of other stuff.

[7Ecstasy]

this music makes me believe in freedom... in absolute freedom...

[Aelad99]

Two people just found out that Justin Beiber is a boy.

[zer0da]

just hearing the song makes makes you high, you don't need the drugs!

[BDean97]

@zer0da haha aint that the truth :D

[fat420tokes]

@zer0da haha well if you think it sounds great now then listen to it after smokin some harmless weed.youll probably shit your pants lol

[YouSuck1543]

@zer0da Yea but i really high right now, and this song is a lot better!

[zer0da]

@YouSuck1543 jajajaja, but that's if you want to get higher than usual (:

[YouSuck1543]

@zer0da Yea but im really high right now, and this song is a lot better!

[TheOriginalEntz]

@zer0da It's not about NEEDING the drugs it's about enhancing. You don't need to hear this song to feel good either but we listen anyway because it is fun and further improves the quality of life... same reason we take psychedelics..

[AntonUralskiy]

@zer0da

That's correct.

Buuuuuuuuut, with a drop of Lucy it's fucking incredible. You grow wings whether you want it or not.

[hdgblindkr]

@zer0da lol!!! agree!



[GuMkAkAciK]

@zer0da well, anyway, i love to listen to this band when being high :D

[MudHut67]

@zer0da This is true, if you need drugs to appreciate music then you weren't listening in the first place

[Kotakai]

Damn this song is awesome when your high.

[RiseMyChildren]

this was always my favorite song by these guys. great band though, especially if you wanna get high and have hardcore group sex.

[bmovie67]

Nice theme. It sounds like a Simple Minds concert intro. I like it.

[kingman4889]

Does anyone else feel like the cloud blocking out the sun in the picture is moving away from the sun as it goes further into the song?

[wygram]

@kingman4889 yeah!!!

[Greathoof]

@kingman4889

Now I do...

[John2K90]

Has anyone ever read daz4zoe book this music so suits it

[misiaggrivation]

Has anyone else noticed, this sounds almost identical to the piano bit at the end of Nine Inch Nails' Perfect Drug?

[extropian]

@misiaggrivation Thank you! I knew it sounded like NIN, this is definitely in the key of Reznor.

[KimdaKiller]

D I V I N E

[blinkingredlights]

so sad i am crying like so badly oh ya my grandpa was in the world war 2 cry cry i had nightmares all about him .and he said what is inside of you is a girl that i will never forget. so sad but i will alway's remember him no matter what love you grandpa ebbet i will never forget you no matter what love you.

[blinkingredlights]

so sad i am crying

[strang14]

... the intro sounds like the ending from The perfect drug by NIN :O @glider2k8 sad as it is, there isn't anything wrong with... its a music video, not a ceremonial chant or celebration. Chill down. Go bring your rituals to another area, instead of the YouTube comment section.

[glider2k8]

@strang14 sorry, but i just dont see anything right about it. there are definetly versions of that song with a different title, and to have the respect and pay another 30 seconds to look for it shouldnt be too hard in my mind. yes i realize people are people and all that and freedom of speech, but still, have some respect. thios isnt directed just at you btw.

[Egahm23]

i remember the day i heard this song for the first time. i shuffled my phone songs and this came on as i was in the shower in spring break with my best two friends. i had to stop immediately and look what the song was. its something ill never forget. i played it over and over. that was my "remembrance day" of this song

[mountainvoyager]

just awesome...these guys are..em..Cosmic Sailors Of the most intelegent kind

[santiagoCajalmacorra]

Probably the best melody I've ever heard in my entire life, every time I hear this song it boost me up.

[kman618]

2 people don't know real music.

[crazyassblinddude]

im sad for you guys that have to be under the influence of soemthing to enjoy this kind of thing, this beautiful composotion this band this genre, trippin, getting high, in a way i think your only hurtin yourself, because having to do that in order to make this worthwhile, you have no idea what this music sounds like with a clear head

[catslashdolphins]

@crazyassblinddude "that have to be under the influence of soemthing to enjoy this kind of thing"

no, I just said you don't have to, but you can do both ;)

[crazyassblinddude]

@catslashdolphins you can be sure, but i mean fuck when i go to a post rock show and youve got all these obnoxious 15 yr olds talking about how spacey this is and how high there gonan get, kinda hurts the band, because nobody wants to sit through a two hour show with abunch of people sober reeancting scenes from how high

[Agalloch100]

Listening to all their albums and trippin.....nothing beats it.........

[Localdrummerweb]

Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug

[Localdrummerweb]

You guys don't get it. "Without you, without you everything falls apart".

[juakoG]

wish it never ends...

[aneww0rld]

Yeah, I also want to know the title of that song.

[voidofsilence]

What song is the one that is played in the ending of the video? 

[billdoesjudo]

My favourite song too. Thank you sheslikeastar1993! Good choice of photos too :)

[jeffreyzal]

This is a different kind of music, i personally appreciate all kinds and all types, when i heard this it changed the way i thought about music.

[AntonUralskiy]

God, I am so high right now, some GHB, some MDMA, and I love you all. Yes I do. And I love this music. And the whole world.

[aschen]

tpd?

[nineinchnailsrock]

@asamorris wow. you must be a failure from ETS. This isn't a bad song at all, nor are they stealing from TPD in any way. It was probably INFLUENCED by the song heavily, but no stealing was here.

[thedirtys2006]

@nineinchnailsrock

u can borrow certain amount of notes or chords from other songs w/ out having to pay for a sample, clear or rights to use. this is a clear inspiration of far to similiaries in the beginning w the piano but. we listen to songs over n over again they are burned in our heads.

drum samples for rap / hip hop or other genre's became clear in the 80's w/ music share holders and corps who weren't getting paid. w Biz Markie to have the 1st rap record to have "All Samples Cleared"

[hyoung235]

Am I the only one that thinks this song sounds almost exactly like "The Perfect Drug" from NIN? Seriously, I actually caught myself singing "Without you... without you everything falls apart" to this song, which btw was recorded significantly after TPD.

[TheWhiskeyChristie]

If nature made music, it would sound like this.

[RonnehLex]

Fortunatly these guys will never become mainsteam or popular :) so we get to sit and listen to this without reading hate comments :P

[BakiNBG]

I love this. It's so calming, and in the same time makes you think, about your life, your past actions-bad and good, it also makes me think about the universe... A lot.

[Babboleadoro]

there are simply no words..

[TukenNuken]

I don't even know what mainstream is anymore. Is it like radio or something?

I don't listen to radio...

[TheHumansight]

odd... anyone else hear the latter half of 'the perfect drug' within this song? same thing with a resemblance between nin's 'a warm place' and the very beginning of giaa's 'all is violent all is bright'. i havent even listened to nin in years and i said to myself i heard this somewhere before, took me a bit to pin point. opinions?

[bebeeMagic]

wůů... great song and amazing pictures!

Thank U!)

[CrusaderEomer]

My god i love this sound...

[ErebDot]

God ...

[Miracle67]

when i listen this music, everything seems possible...

[BlackDollarBills]

let the radio cater to the mainstream. as long as i've got my god is an astronaut, my collapse under the empire and my explosions in the sky, im happy :D

[arthuro13]

listening to this.. when ur high as a kite.. staring at the sky with a really good friend.. epic..

[WaterboyPhx]

@arthuro13 It's still epic even if you AREN'T high.......

[arthuro13]

@WaterboyPhx

really? .. *sigh*...

[catslashdolphins]

@arthuro13 you don't need to be high ;)

[arthuro13]

@catslashdolphins

Am i saying you should?

[catslashdolphins]

@arthuro13 no, absolutely not, just sayin' not being high sometimes is quite awesome. that being said i'm high too btw. high to meet you arthuro

[arthuro13]

@catslashdolphins amen to that :D

[Egahm23]

@arthuro13 holy shit dude i totally understand... i did that every night on spring break last year. damn i miss high school

[glider2k8]

@arthuro13 this comment actually disgusts me, how can you watch a video saying "remembrance day" in the title, and talk about being HIGH, much less ENJOYING it. thats some sick twisted stuff, not to mention completely disrespectful.

[arthuro13]

@glider2k8

I dont give a fuck to be honest.

Cry more.

Atleast 42 people think its alright to think that, and btw.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

[glider2k8]

@arthuro13. i can sit here and say all kinds of curse words because you know what, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. i could call black people the n words, because you know what, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. i could yell random crap at people just walking because you know what, FREEDOM OF SPEECH. and i HAVE that freedom of speech BECAUSE of those who gave their life for me to be able to. Is it really that hard to show some respect for the people who gave their lives so YOU could sit here arguing about freedom?

[glider2k8]

@arthuro13 my point exactly. free country, free speech. without em, you wouldnt even have a damn computer. minds like yours? poison to society. always negative and forgetting history. good luck in the real world

[blinkingredlights]

@glider2k8 good for you my point is why we need wars awsome job too bad i would fight in the war for my uncle and grandpa and grandma

[glider2k8]

@blinkingredlights thank you, i appreciate it

[blinkingredlights]

@glider2k8you have a point.

[blinkingredlights]

@glider2k8 cool man

[Justin22Kurtis]

@glider2k8 Dude, there's nothing wrong with being high... Just because the title is "Remembrance Day" doesn't mean this has to be a ceremonial song. It's not saying what we have to remember, or that we need to pay homage to the people involved. Don't get me wrong, I respect all veterans from almost every war on almost every side, and just because he said "high as a kite" doesn't mean he feels the opposite. Relax, because that's all he was doin' in the first place.

[glider2k8]

@Justin22Kurtis it isnt just the title.it's wrong that it has to be november 11 for us to pay respect to the veterans and those who gave their lives, or 9/11 to remember those in the twin towers, and december 6th to remember those who died at the ecole polytchnique massacre or the halifax explosion. im not saying it has to be ceremonial, and if it came down to it my complaint should be to the video poster who put it in the title. My pride took a hit to see a comment like his. i did react poorly

[CrystalFox25]

@glider2k8 I agree that they gave their lives for the freedom of speech that we all enjoy but you would be abusing that right if you did all that you say you can do. The freedom of speech is meant to help everyone be free but by using the n word you'd take that freedom from someone else. If you were to yell you would take the right to feel safe from someone else. Therefore I can't understand the point you're trying to make. Please explain if you feel like it. Otherwise ignore this.

[glider2k8]

@CrystalFox25 the point i have is that in a video that says remembrance day, high comments shouldnt be posted. not here. there are plenty of versions of this song on youtube, why comment on this one. the point about freedom was that the person i was discussing freedom with was free to smoke weed, free to watch the video, and free to comment. what i was trying to make him/her aware of is WHY and HOW theyre free. i just feel that either the title shoud be changed, or high comments dont belong here

[CrystalFox25]

@glider2k8 How was that a high comment? I commented on this one because I saw this one I when i read your comment it seemed strange to me. I was simply stating that freedom can go be taken too far and many times it is. Some people wrong others and the justification fo their actions is that they "have freedom to do this or that." Why and how they are free does not excuse abusing other people for the sake of selfish wants or needs.

[PrOdIgAlTiMmEh]

@glider2k8 You obviously have no idea what freedom of speech is. Freedom of speech grants you the ability to voice your own opinions, not the ability to say whatever word you want. And no, you couldn't call a black person the "N" word because that is hate speech, which is illegal.

[glider2k8]

@PrOdIgAlTiMmEh correct me if im wrong, but i believe there isnt much difference, if any, between "voicing your opinions" and "saying what you want".

"Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship or limitation, or both. " "In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, such as on 'hate speech'."

i know the word is hate speech; I've dealt with the word my whole life, so im no stranger to it.

[PrOdIgAlTiMmEh]

@glider2k8 What I meant by "saying whatever you want" is that you can't go down the street saying something that attacks one's religion, race, culture, etc. As I said, that is hate speech and you can be fined for that sort of thing. You can, however, voice your opinion on various issues without it being hateful. That is freedom of speech. I'm sorry, but it bothers me when people say "freedom of speech" as a retort when they clearly don't know what it means.

[Agalloch100]

@glider2k8 How is it sick and disrespectful? If you believe that weed makes you forget everything, you're an idiot. It makes things more enjoyable, but it doesn't mean I only listen to this while high, I listen to this sober all the time, so don't talk about being disrespectful when you are acting that way you hypocrite.

[glider2k8]

@Agalloch100 looking back on it, that reaction was poor. i know that isnt what weed does, believe me. it had a significant impact on me at one point.but see? not only did you tell me whats i did wrong and call ME a hypocrite, but you did the EXACT thing just now. im not sayin getting high is bad and should be banned. im just saying when your high you decide to watch the version of this song that says "remembrance day" in it, and then comment and tell the world your fried isnt right

[AntonUralskiy]

Guys, I know this is bad, but try to listen to this song while rollin'.

Rollin' like MDMA rollin'.

Gives you that incredible 'OH SHIT, SO BEAUTIFUL' feeling.

[nizzle2]

That sounds like It would be quite beautiful.

MDMA holds a very special place in my heart. It has made me so close with my best friends and allowed us to connect in beautiful ways which we still do to this date.

It basically set my life up so that it was with the best people possible that love so much.

[RonnehLex]

AWESOME STUFF :)

[DizzyKitsune]

Image at 1:22 is just wow

[RonnehLex]

Okay now this is some truly beautiful music =O how does this sorta stuff never make it mainstream =O

[DizzyKitsune]

we dont want it to make mainstream, else it'll go to shit

[Sebbastar]

@DizzyKitsune haha,, ,, they'll probably start letting akon ruin their songs :P

[Bumchampion420]

@DizzyKitsune thats what happens to almost every band i discover. that shit pisses me off

[69aznboi]

@DizzyKitsune things going mainstream leads to its cancer

80's rock --> 90's alternative

90's rnb + rap --> today's shit

apple --> ifaggotry

we are living in the age of shit but there are few renegades who challenge conformity to bring back epic in its proper form... GIAA

[dmoneyrocks1]

You Ive always wondered the same thing these kind music and less known underground groups dont make it there yet they are so much better than alot of the mainstream!

[nizzle2]

because the majority of people(mainstream) are ignorant scene faggots that are tone deaf and don't know what music is.

[LunatikVibration]

I completly agree with you, me and a friend are actually making a research about that xD. Music is,unfortunatly, not seen as an art by common society anymore. It has become a product...theres no feeling anymore, thats why I love beautiful music like GIAA or John Frusciante's solo work like The Empyrean...such a waste that these masterpieces won't ever be known

[rebargnome]

@LunatikVibration

well, at least you an I appreciate it.

I have thought a lot about the music as product issue as well. The conclusion I came to is that advertizing thru all of the media's we have shouting at us has become so powerful thru years of refining that we are all effectively brainwashed to like what they want us to like.

Of course there are some that resist....

keep the faith!

[djscotty1111]

@rebargnome check out Ride "leave it all behind" also"More"Sisters of Mercy

Love and Rockets "Ball of Confusion" classics ;)))

[Michaelsundell]

Mainstreamers want to listen to crap and horse cum.. This is neither ;P

[Hauntlander]

@RonnehLex

I'm thankful it isn't, many of the best artists are the unknown ones.

[mikesamillion27]

id love to fall forever with this playing

[feliksks]

Breathtaking music and pictures

[orgFAKE]

[GobBass]

I feel as high as the sun when I listen to this.

[birisi06]

[santsukuppi]

i love this song, how can anyone make this sound so beautiful

[LiarOfAngmar]

This is just so awesome ....... there ain't no words to tell how greatly amazing this music is.

[antivierge76]
