[@ContraNihility]

I cannot describe how much you all have improved as a band, this is excellent, I love the lyrics!

[@jackphillips6742]

A new year. A new single. A new banger.

[@BountifulGames]

remember when they did stuff with the yogscast. damn man, my childhood

[@martynlendud8334]

YEAH

[@steve9886]

Oh god yes. Where did those years go?

[@BountifulGames]

@@steve9886 they are years passed my friend. Now its just gmod and gta. But i will always remember the days I would come home from school and run upstairs to the computer to see if they had uploaded another tekkit video

[@sondreholm5618]

I love this song to bits. Everybody take a piece of this song

[@jimmythehandsome]

everybody gets a piece

[@phoenixtalon100]

This came out of fucking nowhere. loved it. good job as usual, folks.

[@Nermian]

Idc what anyone says, this new shit is lyrically better than all they have done before and this makes me hopeful and happy where the band is going with their style. I loved MS like everyone else. But this just. Feels more open for me to interpret and just chill and listen to - Good job guys :D

[@Liamneedham29]

Just saying, Lyrical Genius once again from this amazing band. Evidence... "Oh speak to me, you stones!" I can't reason why, but somehow this seemingly throwaway line resonated with me. Maybe its the desperation I felt in the tone of his voice, maybe its the fact that it gets my brain going trying to think of its meaning. I dont know really. Is he actually speaking to Stones? Or Stoners? Or just people who are stubborn (unmoveable like rock)? Or people who wont talk to him (because stones dont talk)? Is it a metaphor for feeling nothing but apathy or lacking the inspiration to create things? Is it a metaphor for relationships that lack communication? Is it a metaphor for drug abuse, or loveless marriages, or a government that doesn't listen to the people, or a faceless corporation, or a god who doesn't answer prayers? One line and yet so many possible interpretations. I haven't been in a while, is digital haunt wiki still going?

[@feelingkoii]

Could also be as a witch calls apon Runes or cards to cast judgement and tell them what they're missing or what the future may be.

[@Winter_Chill_]

It's sad to be one of those fans who will always prefer the older stuff and finds it harder to listen to the new but I'm still happy to say it's enjoyable, it sounds a lot more inspired and professional than the old obviously anime-inspires stuff I can't wait to hear the album when it comes out

[@Zappygunshot]

Again and again, when A11 releases a new song/album and it's in a somewhat different style than what I'm used to, the first time I hear it I'll dislike it. The second time, I'll still dislike it, but slightly less so. The third time, it'll come by on a playlist somewhere and I catch myself bopping my head to it. And by the fourth time, I love it to bits and can't get enough. That's how it went, from the moment I first heard 'em, back when they'd just released Blackline and the Yogs played Euphemia on a stream I thought "what the hell is this his voice sounds like arse." Then it happened again with Dream & Reality when they released AtLitS, and again with Hommunculus, and again with GO!, and In the Blind, and After the Flags, and so on and now with this one I just reached that "love it" threshold. I'm not really sure why I'm spouting this, it doesn't even have all that much to do with your comment, but I just needed to share it because it's interesting and funny to me. But yeah, A11's been my favourite band for years now because of/despite that.

[@lachlanlandreth9069]

They defiantly grow on you. All your friends/New Magiks still has to be my favorite singularity songs.

[@renderXR]

With this song in particular I really didn't like it (mainly the vocal style), but I went back to it when I saw it in my recommended feed and I got a new appreciation for it. I now like the vocal style paired with the bass and synth. Curious what they do next with the ep.

[@Ari_Bytes]

This moved me in ways few songs have ever done. "Knowing smile `cause we'll make it anyway. Cling to me and my scars that prove it all."

[@MyRegularNameWasTaken]

I love that the first half of this song is entirely from the perspective of a character who's decided their best option is to die, and then the ENTIRE SONG MOOD shifts when "The Watchers gather in the sky" to this powerful inspirational chorus. The shift to a major key just makes that whole moment feel almost angelic. Who are the Watchers? No clue. But I know what they stand for.

[@aidymch7805]

This is a really good song guys, love the music yous have been putting out recently :))

[@thebluemoa5563]

was 2nd comment but lag lmao, but gg on 1st comment

[@Smurfebror]

It kinda reminds me of 30 seconds to mars :) (In a really good way.)

[@siren_atlantica]

First three seconds had me hooked. Sounds awesome through headphones.

[@leprechaunbuttmilk6892]

Big mood

[@softenthegrave]

holy shit this is gorgeous and i love the scenery and music. So much

[@DownWithLogic]

This one gave me a weird unexpected nostalgia, Area 11 you always bring something interesting to the table. Thank you :)

[@PorkchopousPig]

The lyrics have this depth that speaks to my depression. I love seeing you and your music evolve. This is incredible.

[@miwiarts]

Every time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps all over my body! 😍 Your (the whole band's) songs inspire me so much, in so many ways. 💕

[@ava_3230]

This is amazing, it has this almost haunting quality to it. It sort of sounds like a cry of frustration and the lyrics are as profound as ever. I loved the old Area 11 but I love the new Area 11 even more. KEEP THIS UP, YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING BEASTS!

[@ShroomRPG]

It's insane how this band evolved from being some dudes making songs about anime to being genre bending pioneers with a totally unique vibe that make absolute BANGERS like this Definitely the biggest musical glow up in recent memory

[@davidma1471]

Not here for the Yogscast memories anymore, I'm here for the amazing music that everyone needs to hear

[@christopherrice4816]

Glad to see more new music. Hope this trend continues... even if not as often, just more solid music.

[@lachlanlandreth9069]

Amazing! These singularity songs are just Awesome! Great to see you guys experimenting!

[@JayRidge]

The amazing lyrics combined with the beautiful scenery of the video makes for a breathtaking experience all packed into 4 minutes, bravo

[@BEASTYNATH]

I just came from a yogscast throwback I used to love this stuff crazy listening to it again hope yall makin money

Holy shit! this song gave me goosebumps. You guys really have hit it out of the park this time!

[@anametuerartist2250]

wasn't sure but it really picked up at the end and i had a big smile by the time the song was finished. love this :D

I'm loving this sound. This song is lit, like every song they release

[@2queer2deer]

freaking superb 👏👏👏 oh man, you guys absolutely nailed this one

[@Parker_OSRS]

Been a fan since you guys dropped your first EP. So glad that you guys are still at it. Still jam out to Blackline in my car while people look at me weird lol. Love you guys.

[@just.Athena]

For those that want to sing along Curtain Fall: There are some ways to wins The primal games we're in I'm bleeding out the toxin Waiting for the curtain Where white and black collide Ground one foot either side You're bleeding out your options No more words of Caution Back when I thought I was Built that way, just because I'm walled inside a garden Deep within an ocean Injects ideas with life Through fear and not despite Bleeding out my options Bleeding all the options Oh, you better believe The shadow haunting me It knows what I could be I can see The serpents inside me Contorting, warping me Finally No matter, time dethrones Oh, speak to me, you stones! I'm so tired of waiting For the bloated and deceptive Where white and black collide Speak truth reveal the line Bleeding out my options Bleeding all the options A cure to shame the disease The shadow haunting me It knows what I could be Silently The serpents inside me Contorting, warping me Finally I believe The watchers gathered in the sky. Don't let the curtain fall. Don't let the curtain fall. When you sink in the quicksand of the night Persevere 'cause I know we'll be alright Cling to me and my scars that prove it all Don't let the curtain fall. You ignite in the fever of the day Knowing smile 'cause we'll make it anyway Cling to me and my scars that prove it all Don't let the curtain fall. When you sink in the quicksand of the night Persevere 'cause I know we'll be alright Cling to me and my scars that prove it all Don't let the curtain fall. You ignite in the fever of the day Knowing smile 'cause we'll make it anyway Cling to me and my scars that prove it all Don't let the curtain fall.

Absolutely love it.

[@brianmccarthy3613]

This video is beautiful and the music sounds great. Awesome job.

[@AmethystLuna07]

I love so much about this, and now having the added visuals I especially like the flower time lapses. Additionally: "The symbolic meaning of the dahlia in the Victorian language of flowers has survived. When given as a gift, the dahlia flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. It is also the symbol of a commitment and bond that lasts forever."

Got an Area 11 hoodie for Christmas and it's for sure my favorite pice of clothing, love the songs you guys make and I hope one day il be able to make it to one of your live shows ❤️

[@RizenST]

I've gotta say, not a fan of this song. I mean i'll listen to this a couple more times and i'll enjoy it, but right now the song feels... underwhelming. The chorus feels like a build up to a chorus, when it first ended I was thinking "here it comes", and nothing. I really wish that the next songs they do are a bit harder. Maybe like the random bit at the end in EGAP, or something akin to Modern Synthesis.

[@ytpanda398]

I love the verse but not the chorus..

[@VikingSchism]

Not going to lie, I'm not a big fan of this - which sucks because I love a lot of A11's music. To me, this kind of feels like it doesn't really go anywhere? I'm not into ballads at all, and this song is quite ballad-y, so that's probably it. But in any case, I think I'll just stick with ATLITS, Underline, and MS. I haven't really enjoyed any of the songs since AYF/NM, they just seem to lack something that the older ones had. I'm sorry to be the voice of negativity here, but it seems like the rest of the comments are all incredibly positive and that's not the viewpoint I share. I'll keep listening to the new songs in the hope that I enjoy the other ones better.

[@ytpanda398]

Yeah I feel you I enjoyed their MS enter Shikari style songs by not so much of a fan of all your friends new magicks etc. (New magicks was ok)

[@vinesn1213]

I have to agree. The new songs are okay, but they don't catch me like MS did. I still listen to some of the old songs and get chills, but these new ones lose their luster after a play or two for me. I want to enjoy them, but I'm just not feeling it.

[@IsPxTeCh]

@@vinesn1213 Luckily I completely disagree with that.

[@raining214]

I'm still not a fan of AYF but new magiks grew on me definitely. And I loved Everybody wants a piece ngl

[@softenthegrave]

Which this is fine, i still enjoy these songs as well, but the other songs from ATLITS and MS hold a special place in my heart.

[@tellur2714]

Great song ... the Music video is a bit lame though

[@brendanlock5046]

The lyrics are good, the song is catchy, but I don't like it. It just feels like it barely has any of that energy their older stuff had. It just makes me feel sad and empty.

[@ava_3230]

I think it's supposed to do that

[@brendanlock5046]

@@ava_3230 no song is ever supposed to feel as though it has no soul and that no effort was put into making it.

@@brendanlock5046 That is not what you said, YOU said it makes you feel "sad and empty". I believe it is supposed to make you feel that way.

[@ava_3230]

@@brendanlock5046 Furthermore this song has so much soul it gives me goosebumps, and many others have commented the same. It sounds to me like a cry of frustration or "a formal list of complaints". You ears are broken if this isn't what you think of when you hear the name "Area 11"

[@brendanlock5046]

@@ava_3230 this is me saying that it doesn't have the same feel as their older stuff and that it doesn't feel like they had much soul in it. If you listen to some of their older songs with tge same goal, it works. This is sad because I can't enjoy it because it's not as good. I'm sad that it isn't good because I want to like it. Your ears are broken if you think it's the same, because they even said themselves that it wouldn't be the same. So, before you go questioning whether I'm a real fan, maybe look at yourself and whether you actually have good taste. Now then, fuck off.
