BLACKSHAPE - ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL

[@ZooeySheaMills]

I've spent the day crying and listening to this on repeat. I'm a survivor of SA, to put it very lightly. for some reason, this reminds me, not of the incident itself, but my feelings surrounding it. Listening to this is cathartic. Thank you so much for this song, It's the therapy I need but can't afford.

[@Saavycupcake]

I hear you and I see you. I hope you’re healing and finding support to move forward. There’s still some good people out there and I genuinely hope you find them.

[@inswarlock09]

as a male survivor of sa when I was 12 , it was hard to open up but when I finale told trusted friends about what happened they high fived me , right on bro!. I had to swallow it and smile. I left I didn't feel it was something to celebrate I pulled over to the side of the road and cried. When I first watched this video like you I had a flood of emotions and anger. How could I have been so stupid and weak.

[@battlingbilly]

If this band still exists or sees this, good god I hope you're still making this art. I'm in tears over here.

[@moyashisoba]

This one hits hard. It reminds me of my darkest days. It's absolutely brilliant.

[@mjdunton]

I sat and listened to the whole album a few evenings ago. Definitely interested to see where the band go next.

[@blackshapemusic]

Thanks for taking the journey. We’re stoked for you to hear the new music we’re working on.

This song is what it feels like to be haunted by the hope of a better future

[@seanbunnage4640]

My wife and I have almost 0% overlap in musical tastes. I watched this music video and then immediately showed it to her. We were both captivated in awe ... such an amazing video, and the 3:57 mark just ... HIT. Amazing piece of art, thank you! ❤

This is Art to both Eyes & Ears 🥀

[@ClaireyTee]

Damn.. this was really something 🤯🤯 thank you KZbin algorithm.🔥 🎧

[@wendyparker4021]

Shit gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I first came upon this with the live studio version of the song. He sounds so sweet with the message at the end of the song. Then you watch this, the actual music video for it, and it gives it completely different context. The way she says “I hope you live” with the same cadence as you would say “I hope you die.” As if to say hoping someone lives (infinitely) with what they’ve done to you is worse than death, and that’s what you hope for them. So much symbolism in this music video. Never watched anything that resonated with me like this. It’s brilliant. F*cking brilliant.

[@raynbillson2601]

Why is this guy not on anymore vocals? Finding someone that can sing over music like this is a dime a dozen and he hits ALL the notes. Love the album and listened to it maybe 10 times already but damn -- make an album with this vocalist. If hes already a part of your band, do it! Love his voice, does he have anything else he's on? Songs a mailman certified b a banger. Had this on repeat in my satchel for a good hour delivering mail.

[@ubiquinoxxrosiles2766]

The vocalist is one of the guitarists here. Think his name is Scott

[@laupdivad9352]

All quiet I see on the Blackshape front, although maybe there's hard work going on behind the scenes. This was my musical highlight of 2023, and the video was spellbinding. So we need more !!! Album was good, but having vocals made this the standout track - an album like this ought to be a monster.

[@work7844]

As we age, it becomes more and more rare that a song stops you in your tracks. Haven't had a track hit like this in a long time. Was not prepared for that voice.

[@AdamCarsonMusic]

insane

[@luisrivera3131]

just found this in my disco weekly. glad i checked out the music video, a blessing to the eyes as much as the ears

I love this song so much.

[@Kyourai]

So glad I opened KZbin today this early in the morning, such a good song

[@Beatslaughter]

This song is like a drug in regards to what feelings it triggers. I keep coming back and have it on repeat for a while and just enjoy the ride. Amazing work guys!

[@hjttjh]

Can't stop blasting this song! So good

[@TheEzuf]

One of only a select few songs that, for me, crosses into the realm of transcendent.

[@evaguiboud3441]

WOOOOW.. ✨✨✨

[@hexagramiam]

i knew this band a couple month ago, thanks to wherepostrockdwells, it captivated my whole atention from the begginig, but it was rising, moving things inside of me, and when the lyrics started, everything exploded. i want to thank you blackshape for making one of the most beautiful song i've ever heard. i cant describe how i feel to this song, but is frightening and empowerting at the same time. so thanks again... i know this song will be forever in my heart

[@MoonPi1218]

I show this song to all the hoomans, truly a masterpiece, I have no idea how this isn't in the millions of views! Much love

[@TheHeadOfAGoat]

Who's to say, why there are two identical videos posted of this song by the band but the other one is approaching a million views.

[@zonemorte5053]

This is Art, in its purest form.

[@marcowilliams8222]

I found this out of the blue and it threw me for a whole fuckin loop. What a wild journey. This song is special. The video too

[@jonnesipila1]

For once the algorithm worked and brought me here. This is great! Keep it up!

[@zaraki_byakuya]

Since the start of the song, my mind and my emotions started tingling and then somehow it all made sense driving me through this rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for the katharsis, it means a lot. Sending blessings and good energies to everything out there. Let's put a little more colour in this world

outstanding

[@yoshioharuki5760]

No words to adequately express how much of a musical masterpiece this is..absolutely cathartic.👏

[@abroughear]

Wait, didn't this video come out once already, a few months ago? Oh well, it's still a good video for a fucking incredible song, so I'll take it.

[@blackshapemusic]

Yes, it premiered on WherePostRockDwells and then has gotten some traction on VEVO recently. We also wanted it here on our own channel for those who come here for music. Thanks for the kind words and for listening!

[@lucaigansi]

i was going to complain that the only downside to this song is that it is too short. but then i realized the entire album was basically one long piece, so... yeah, thanks and congrats for this fucking masterpiece!

The rest of the album is pretty much a "meh" in comparison to this song. If they would continue down this road on potential future albums, it would be amazing.

[@klopol_]

I've stumbled into this song by accident on a youtube short of a reaction channel. I just wanted to say thank you for this experience. I don't know what the song is really about but my gf struggled with her mental health (it's better now but she still does) and i hope she live. I get teared up a little writing this but i still have hope. I hope you live too, you reading this. Will definitivly check out the rest of the album, what a vibe !

[@fruchtsaft8851]

I stumbled on this masterpiece a while ago. I listen to every kind of music, every kind of genre. I listened to everything there is... and this, this is the song I would pick to watch the world end. This is the most emotion I got out of any audio, ever. The feeling of piece and war. Of love and hope. Of fear and calmness. Every aspect of this masterpiece is perfect. Thank you

The lead singer, Scott Shepard. It's not a guest singer. You can see him performing it live with the same voice in other videos.

[@pr1sm55]

@@tantalus_complex I saw the video of them playing it live and I was stunned... completely mind blown. It's a shame they are not bigger than they are but at the same time maybe a blessing at the same time and a result of creating these gems you would otherwise not get to lay your eyes(ears) on. Absolute gem of a piece, musically and visually.

They’re called Blackshape. The name of this song is the first letter of every lyric he sings at the end of the song. An acronym if you will.

@@wendyparker4021 Thanks for that. I figured it out a few weeks ago, the Black Shape part. Thanks for the rest of the explanation!!
