Aviators - Momentum

[@ConnorSwatzyna]

OOOOOH THAT TRANSITION to "..I don't wanna lose momentum" WAS SO SMOOTH! OH YEAH! :D

[@ConnorSwatzyna]

+Scatman 24 Music makes me excited....too excited

[@shafeefeeroz9426]

hellya that line was awesome!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@wardedthorn6523]

About the description, yes, it was a love it/hate it reaction...I love it when it's on and hate it when it ends!

[@JRHainsworth]

Those last 4 notes in the song...give me so many emotions..

[@leandrosvarus6943]

How does this not have 9 million+ views?! Such an amazing song from an already amazing album.

[@slayerofthebad9265]

Aleu Dazven Because, sadly enough, Aviators is quite unknown. Also, a lot of people will know him as a brony music artist, and since a lot of people aren't willing to give those a chance, they aren't willing to give Aviators a chance. (Shame on them, they're missing out.)

[@leandrosvarus6943]

Fore sure, sucks that being a brony has such a negative connotation to it, I didn't get why it is so bad before or after I was one and probably never will understand. I just like good music, don't care who or what they are apart of.

[@slayerofthebad9265]

Aleu Dazven Same here. I had some friends listen to some brony music, and they were like: "Hmm, this is pretty good. Who made this?". *Tells them it's a brony musician*. Them: "o.O You're kidding, right?"

[@leandrosvarus6943]

SlayerOfTheBad Such a shame, the way society(for the most part) thinks though. Gender roles and the like tend to muddle everyone's view on what is acceptable/good.

[@slayerofthebad9265]

Aleu Dazven The sad truth.

[@PrelateZ]

I immediately loved this song when I started listening to it back in October, likely because it so closely related to me. I truly was in an abusive relationship, but with several friends rather than a significant other. It reached a climax on October 6 and made the next few weeks among the worst of my life... The scary part was that one of the friends was my roommate, and the combination of his history of anger issues combined with his now-negative feelings for me was terrifying (no joke, I lost sleep thinking I was in danger) I'm so happy I got out of all that, and I can also turn to this song to remember what I'm free from and look forward to a brighter future. Aviators, keep doing what you're doing. It seriously makes a difference to people. This stuff's life-changing and we're all better off for hearing it.

[@tiffanywhite3385]

This was possibly my favorite song in the album, actually.

[@HazardousCorrosion]

another masterpiece from Aviators NEVER QUIT MAKING MUSIC

[@TehBakerye]

I have yet to find a song better than this one holy shit

[@DaScribbler]

This album was boss as fuck. I'm so glad I managed to pick a physical copy. Always blasting that music with my car stereo.

[@LucarioandDialga]

So prevalent to my life right now. And SO motivating.

[@flamelash8668]

This song feels personal to me... It reminds me of when i was bullies in school and how i felt after i was no longer bullied

[@szarak6065]

After all those years, songs, and albums, it's still pretty nice

[@raelarson1523]

Literally the best song ever! I am addicted to Aviators, and I will never stop listening! Thank you so much for your amazing voice and music!

[@MinecraftVideoHunter]

Just here to remind you after 5 years that you will never stop listening

[@raelarson1523]

[@bowsbeforehoes8006]

Still love this after so many years

[@busy_beaver]

I'm still finding so many hidden gems among these songs from 9 years before!

[@arcticsim5760]

Words can't describe the epicness of this song.

[@monroe4082]

Momentum and Mirrors are probably one of my favorites! These are great songs! :)

[@mattlatorre9084]

Why tf did lots of people not really like this when Mirrors first came out? A few years later, I think it's one of the best tracks. Very unique sound. Bass line steals the show, lyrics fit the album perfectly. Beautiful!

[@Didierpelupessy]

Because they have terrible tastes?

[@K4RN4GE911]

That's it, you've broken me. I held off because Bronies already outweigh the list, but to Hell with it. I'm subscribing right effing now!

[@TehF0cus]

Not every subscriber is one ... Like me :P I don't care what music is about unless it's good.

[@TehF0cus]

You guys are pissed off really fast... you are a good example. I did'nt say anything against you guys, I don't have anything against you anyway.

[@Goirdy]

InsaneCommunity He didn't sound very pissed off to me. I think he was talking to K4RN4E911 anyway.

[@K4RN4GE911]

Joel Watlington Dude, I'm a Brony myself. What I meant was that guys like Mandopony and Bronified outweigh other guys I'm subscribed to like Game Grumps and Caddicarus.

[@VladimirZharkov]

Every time. Every time you amaze me with an awesome new song.

[@Ketirz]

I like the sound to this one a lot, and it fits your vocal range really well. The bass is heavy without being overbearing, and you're always superb with layering and progression with this being no exception. As your originals go, this is probably my favorite to date!

[@ryann42]

Huh. I had no idea you'd never uploaded this. It's actually one of my favorite tracks from Mirrors, along with the song of the same name.

[@Konstamonsta]

have yet to buy this album and kind of regret not having bought the physical copy feel so ashamed for being the cheap ass i am but i will get myself to buy this album eventually. pinkie promise for now i can only leave this comment saying that you are one hell of an artist and do an amazing job in your profession will follow your uploads for as long as they keep coming

[@Konstamonsta]

@@whywontyouburn9608 lol. digging out my 6 year old comment. but yeah i did

Wow... this is just beautiful!!

[@chuu4youu]

true :) you can dream while his Songs are playing perfectly ^-^

[@shadowstorm551]

I love this song, it's just amazing. Never stop making music, keep doing what you want to do, because that's what we love you for (at least I do). Also, small request: can you put Zero up some time? That is one of my favorite songs from Mirrors, and I really want to learn the lyrics.

[@CommentIsUnrelated]

He has actually posted the lyrics on bandcamp now.

[@PoorFoxface]

Fantastic song. I absolutely love your singing in the chorus and all in all this is one of your best songs.

[@MathewDHennen]

I've been listening since I bought the album back at release. Thank you for all the great songs.

[@Arielrosemusic]

This is fabulous! Really wonderful song and great themes of growth, strength and self-respect!

[@shadowspector3611]

This is honestly one of the most meaningful songs I've heard, and it sounds so awesome on top of that. I wish I could subscribe twice.

[@CommentIsUnrelated]

Ah, yes. Glad you uploaded this one. Definitely one of the best from Mirrors.

[@_TheDemonicTutor_]

Absolutely love the song!

[@eirelavnamtihw9665]

Omc, I love this song SO much, Avi! I think Mirrors is my favorite album of yours because I can relate to the songs so much! Luv it

[@Rottondude2]

This is my favorite track of the album Great piece.

[@strangess13]

However much this resembles Radioactive (and it's not THAT similar), it adds a vital new twist and atmosphere that is quite precious. That song was written (according to the author) as an attempt to portray a healthy model of masculine strength (a worthy endeavor). but I think a song about healing and endurance under adversity and loss is appropriate and even more important. Because we are in a dark time when everyone needs to dig deep for the hope and strength to mend ourselves and face the horrible trials ahead in our collective future. (and the music matches these sentiments masterfully) (Plus it meshes with the Equestrian ethos much better.)

[@Drefsab]

I don't think I've ever heard an Aviators song I disliked. They're all fantastic.

[@UniScratch]

Awesome song dude, IMO, one of the best of yours :D MOAR

[@Deathpony45]

Seriously dude never stop making this music it's awesome

[@Mirage_Seraph]

Wait, Momentum got a love it/hate it reaction? Huh, surprising, was one of my favorite tracks on Mirrors. (Guess that means I'm on the former side but still, quite surprised)

[@leoaaaa938]

I loved this when I heard it on the album :)

[@kevinmorton4805]

I love this song so much

[@LavaLectrode]

I've been waiting for you to post this song for aaaaaaages! Truly amazing.

[@blairtato377]

This is my new favourite song! :D

[@dragonlordchan2162]

LOVE This good work Aviators keep it up Make more

[@DIEFORDETHKLOK696]

YES! this is my favorite song from mirrors. absolutely amazing.

[@cr0ssley]

I love the use of the beat to keep "Momentum" ... HA sorry also love how you used newtons cradle to represent Momentum

[@wardedthorn6523]

Daniel Crossley ironically, the momentum in a Newton's cradle is gradually expended as internal friction. In other words, it runs out of momentum.

[@shieldgenerator7]

I just love the message of this song! It reminds me of that quote from Disney: "Keep Moving Forward"

[@FluffyRainbowDash]

Could you give me a link for that background? That would be a great wallpaper :D

[@datboibronze8673]

Great song.. an guess what.. I've heard 1001 lies!

[@BthaBunny]

THIS SONG IS MY FAVORITE IN THE ENTIRE ALBUM

[@Spurtarsnut]

One other masterpiece by Aviators that outruns itself by ten fold.

[@AndyR_927]

I've listened to aviators for a while, since the godhunter album, travellers song was the first song I heard, and only a few days ago did I find this song and I absolutely love it, can't believe I've never heard this one by you before, immediately one of my favourites

[@mortimerk]

This song makes me so happy

[@bluesystemic5760]

Ugh .. I wanted to scream with excitment, i fucking loved this. ;)

[@Datharian676]

Why would anyone not like this? It's awesome!

[@strongmanlin]

i don't see why anyone wouldn't like this song

[@zeg1010exe]

This song this still here! Thank you, I found you again.

[@KroK013]

Holy everything. This is why you're still my favorite musician.

[@QuothTh3Rav3n]

This is amazing!!!!!!! I loved mirrors, and this edition is wonderful. Never stop making music Aviators!!!!

[@HenningsEdits]

One of my absolute favorites from you. Love the instrumentation! Especially in the bridge and the third verse. It almost sucks that I can relate to it so well...

[@cheftaku6853]

i remember hearing you messing around with this in a stream

[@Talguy21]

A while ago, when you released Mirrors, the title song inspired me to write a story. This song inspired me to write the sequel. It's gotta be a good album if two of the songs drive me to write about them! Awesome job, Avi! =D

[@jamcraftheretoplay1455]

Best music ever ^__^

[@AcidUsagi]

Dude, hook me up with stems and vocals, I wanna remix this!

[@DaScribbler]

This please.

[@Ketirz]

Ditto, in a twisted way. I'm trying to remix Open Your Eyes and feel like the bit around 1:28 would fit in with that _way too well._ Also, you know, I just like having stems lately... heh.

[@DaScribbler]

Sam Boyd I'm pretty sure Open Your Eyes and Momentum have the same chord progression. The bassline is the same anyway, shifted up a halfstep in Momentum. It makes sense that some parts would fit. D#--F#--C#--G# in Open your eyes. E--G--D--A in Momentum. I could be totally wrong here, but I think that translates to i-III-VII-iv in both cases.

[@jusey1]

Dude! I want the stems and vocals to chart this for Rock Band 3!

[@JKPieGuy]

DaScribbler I knew something sounded "Familiar" about this song. Thanks.

[@AltitudeHigh]

I loved this fro the moment I listened to it :D

[@VooDooMusic]

Hmmm, I reallly like this. The bass and the drums were good together with your vocals, nice package. But was it just me or did the first chord progressions in the chorus feel like Sail a little bit? Still awesome, in fact that makes it cooler because I love that song, lol.

[@davidculver7965]

as an audio junkie to a composer, I could smoke these tunes all day

[@starrynight5041]

So true

[@ramenai]

"I'm radioactive, radioactive."

[@suzusaotome6047]

This sounds nothing like Radioactive... If anything the intro reminds me of Linkin Park. Ok ok, so he says "Whoa", but so many songs have done that BEFORE Imagine dragons.

[@Ketirz]

I mean, I guess the tempo and rhythm are more or less right, and there's a couple similar chord progressions in there, but if we're going to call the song in the same ballpark I'd say it's at best in the outfield.

[@ramenai]

Sam Boyd It just sounded harmonious with the song. Just kind of popped into my head while listening to this.

[@marksprings3493]

You're actually fucking right I can't believe it

[@PhantumFish]

This is a really good jam.

[@wardedthorn6523]

This really speaks to me!

[@S1lv3rwo1f]

This song is awesome. One of the many songs I love. Keep up the good work! ^^

[@kirstenc4279]

This reminds me of angels fall the farthest in regards to theme. Kinda showing a story of recognizing and leaving an abusive situation.

[@StellaBorneWatches]

Definitely inspired by Imagine Dragons, especially their hit track, "Radioactive". Did a fantastic job emulating their style and tone and such into this song. No, this is NOT an insult; don't treat it as one and please don't take it as one.

[@Heureka69]

This is awesome song! Nice work aviators!! Reminds me of last letter ^.^

[@rockblockstudio]

Another great song

[@jusey1]

Badass song btw! I love it.

[@aprilking8203]

Your just full of talent!!

[@antn0ob]

This is a great song that holds an awesome rhythm and beat. I also really love the music in the song where the lyrics "I've heard a thousand lies" where the song beautifully transitions to the music of the chorus. I'm also a little surprised that no comments have been made on this video, especially with how many views it has.

[@HenningsEdits]

There are more than a hundred comments here... Maybe it's a glitch.

[@antn0ob]

Henning A Really, huh. That's odd. It says there are only two comments here: yours and mine.

[@joelw.2319]

This song is great, I have no idea why you would love it/hate it when you should only be loving it ^^

[@LillyLady]

Not exactly sure how that works, but have you considered getting your music onto Pandora?

[@numbthehedgog3349]

Awesome! And this song might be about lossing others and then being hated by the ones tht love

[@AngelBlood98]

I'm freaking out

[@deepstrasz]

I think your voice worked well on this one.

[@charlescollins5252]

I LOVE IT!

[@lloydthegreat1]

Good song. I like it

[@TigerTakagi]

love/hate? i only see likes for this video and i sure as hell am going to click the like button also. great work on this song its amazing.

[@sporeplayer4]

It was great! the song lyrics were supurb and the background music was awsome. I love your work and look forward to seeing more from you however, one suggestion would be to increase the audio gain of the vocals just a little.

[@7377H4]

Hmm, I might be wrong, but I think this sounds a little like it's about an abusive relationship. If the victim is singing this, then it's a story of letting go of the abuser and escaping to make a better life. It could just be a song about overcoming the odds in the face of danger, but that's just my opinion. :)

[@twistedsailor2825]

May Thein well, his songs are open to interpretation.

[@kobiebarker]

BabyDragonHatchling Yeah that's how they are. Some of his bring songs I can relate to very well.

[@Superpeppepower]

That's what I love about Aviators songs; they're never just a melody, they always have some sort of meaning that's often very relatable.

[@kobiebarker]

Superpeppepower _​ yeah they're always open to interpretation as baby dragon said

[@moonshadowwhiterush6705]

Hmm, quick question... I am very much in to the New Lunar Republic and Solar Empire (I even have my own version of it all!) and listening to this, I'd guess it's related... Could just be me, though. Sounds like Luna talking to Celestia - perhaps when the whole war started! -smells the theory cake baking-

[@moonshadowwhiterush6705]

Or it could have to do with NMM and Celestia... I don't know.

[@denlillaskiten]
