Celldweller - Against the Tide

Purchase/Stream 'Wish Upon A Blackstar':
fanlink.to/wuab
Wish Upon A Blackstar, one of the most anticipated albums of the year, is a masterwork by a master artist. The album's sixteen songs seamlessly blend genres from Electro and Dubstep to Rock and Orchestral with an intricacy and precision seldom heard in today's Electronic music. But it's not just studio wizardry and digital complexity; even the best production has little staying power without strong songcraft to back it up, and this is where Celldweller brings his deeply honed songwriting ability to bear, making Wish Upon A Blackstar an album that will long outlast its contemporaries. Truly epic in scope and execution, Wish Upon A Blackstar will not only leave a lasting mark on the always-changing landscape of Electronic music, but will stand the test of time as a remarkable statement of artistic virtue in a sea of disposable trends.

[@JoLeGamer]

Congratulations

[@hughmungus2192]

Well done mate. I hope you are still going strong

[@dirtdiggler9293]

Still strong 💪 😎 ❤ 🙏

[@CycleOfJudges]

Hope all is well. For what it's worth, to me, this song isn't much of a fight against these waves that bury us. It's just acceptance.

[@RAZOR_regrets]

This is by far one of Klaytons best and most meaningful songs he's ever made.

[@peniku8]

The entire album is like this, look at (more like listen to) Eon and So Long Sentiment...

[@RAZOR_regrets]

+peniku8 already did three years ago. Way ahead of you man. I listened to when it was brand new.

[@bulgarianmemes3569]

@@RAZOR_regrets your braging is cringeike and also how dafuq do you not know the guy listened them even before you :D

[@RAZOR_regrets]

Bulgarian Memes I wasn’t bragging, and if it came off like that I’m sorry, I guess. When I said “way ahead of you,” it was meant as “I know what you mean, man” and when I said “I listened to it when it came out” that’s just a fact, not bragging.

[@TheElitekruemel]

@@RAZOR_regrets always easy to correct shit after its done... just stand your ground and take the blame. "You're reaping what you've sown" you have not unerstand this line even though you are talking about the meaningfullness of this song. lol

[@unforgivenxiv]

This song is so underrated, way underrated.

[@MrHate2012]

[@Insanefishinguy]

Lyrics: I finally get what you've been saying Now that we're knee deep side by side The storm clouds are circling above us As we struggle against the tide I feel your grip firm on my shoulder But this fear in my head won't subside They patiently circle around us As we hold out Oh father, why have they forsaken me? You warned me that they would Because it's passing down the bloodline It's spoken and misunderstood We're losing light And strength of will The darkened depths beckoning still Then we hold on against the tide "Another storm you're left to fight alone Remember son, you're reaping what you've sown Under the waves and sinking like a stone I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown" "Another storm you're left to fight alone Remember son, you're reaping what you've sown Under the waves and sinking like a stone I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown" You're reaping what you've sown We're slowly losing ground And hope is harder to maintain We know the prayers we prayed Feel lost like tears in the rain The water is pulling down The Moon's eclipsing the sun The ending that we knew would come Has finally begun It's finally begun You're reaping what you've sown You're reaping what you've sown This sorrow weighs down on my shoulders This fear is getting harder to hide You'll leave me alone in this darkness Left to hold out Against the tide

[@dogthedoo]

+YOU'RE UNDER ARREST Hey I hate to be that guy, but you got several of the lyrics wrong. Here are some of the major ones: "BENEATH the storm AND left to fight alone" "WITH CURSES passing down the bloodline, UNSPOKEN and misunderstood." "WHEN ALL the prayers we've prayed" "THE MOON's eclipsing the sun." Those are the lyrics from the disc insert of the Wish Upon A Blackstar album.

[@Insanefishinguy]

dogthedoo I didn't check them, I just repasted it from somewhere else for convienience. my bad.

[@ulti8106]

This song reminds me of Noah's flood makes sense they ripped what they sowed

[@spicyhalo3040]

Thank you.

[@cellslave]

"The Curse" is passing down the bloodline (The curse of sin).

[@TWolfguarde]

With or without the lyrics, this is by far one of the best pieces of music I've heard. There's so little music with this depth of emotion, with the ability to pick you up and transform what you're feeling into something that resonates through to the core. I originally found this looking for epic music (Audiomachine, TSFH, etc). In its own way, this fits the genre better than nearly everything else I've heard in it. Nothing can match it. I really wish he had more songs like this, but honestly, I think it's impossible to top.

[@ulti8106]

lesen to birthright, just like you, lost in time and other songs i can say give this one a run for his money but remember is a one man army

[@TWolfguarde]

+Ulti Already have, nothing tops this for me. Not just talking intensity, but how well layered and woven this piece is. How it progresses, its peaks and drops melding without dissonance. There is nothing in it that doesn't fit, and in my eyes, nothing that could be done to improve it. How often do we find a piece of music that is literally perfect in what it conveys?

[@ulti8106]

Wolfguarde your words speak so much truth, i can not see other songs that have perfection in them from beginning to end

[@HaramiAMV]

Yeay, this one is perfect, You can hear only melody and You will feel it... I love this music and I wish album full of songs like this one :)

[@Riyokintyu]

+Wolfguarde I think lyrically, tonally, and instrumentally it is the best piece of music *ever* created. I have found no other piece of music that comes close to the depth and complexity of this song. Lyrically diverse and nothing in the song overstays it's welcome and is devoid of repetition. The instruments and vocals ebb and flow like a beautiful carefully woven tapestry full of raw emotion and power. Expertly crafted. When you add that the song in it's entirety is completely done by *one* person it becomes even more impressive. Written, produced, mixed, sung, and played by Klayton himself. Incredible. I don't find every song he has ever released up to the standard of this song, but I honesty consider Celldweller/Klayton to be the most talented artist in the entirety of the music industry. He is in a league of his own. The fact that he is relatively unknown is beyond criminal. Most of his music is better than any song that plays on radio stations or racks up the most views on KZbin.

[@Phailmen]

Crazy how I view this as calming despite the screaming parts.

[@Youllneverfindmezx]

Ever since I've listened to this song 2 years ago. That moment I knew the way I feel about music changed forever, whenever I listen to any other song from any other type of genre just doesn't give me remotely the same feeling I get when I hear this. It's indescribable, it is perfection in my eyes. This should be what every other artist in the world tries to match in terms of production, emotion and the feeling you get from it. It's just a shame many people in this world don't give stuff like this a go nor do they care about anything that doesn't suit themselves. This is my favorite Celldweller song of all time (at this current point in time with Just Like You/Lost In Time right behind.) At the same time, favorite song of all time, I've listened to many many different artists and this hands down is unparalleled in comparison to those I've heard. Never change Klayton, the world might not care about you but who cares about them.

[@NightFlame-eb2cn]

I salute your speech

[@rezin5114]

I know im pretty late to answer, but theres just 100% behind your words.

[@XCoNGAMMA88]

If you haven't already, you need to check out Silverstein. They provide all the feels

[@JuanPareles]

Thanks for existing Klayton

[@Kezioduda]

This is my all-time favorite song of Celldweller, it's so perfect!

[@Euroland07]

Agreed. My overall favourite song of anything from the last few years, to be honest.

[@tsar_maple4636]

Still a masterpiece

[@giovanniavery7125]

This song calmed my heart...

[@DiwatWard]

This song has the ability to shake me to the very core. It passes feelings to me without loss. Epic masterwork. This can not be topped, but it's just one color of the palette. I hope you, Celldweller will show me some more fascinating pieces of color which I can fit into my palette. Thank you for this gift. Honestly.

[@aftergl0wmusic]

I always have a music video in my head when I hear this. The emotional buildup is out of this world. Overcoming odds, becoming something stronger in the face of something never expected... Stories in song. Love it.

[@ReckoLOL]

Remember son you're reaping what you've sown Exelent

[@roseywinter]

Celldweller will always be my favorite.

[@ShadowTheVengeful]

No matter how many times I hear this song I always get chills. I will always support Klayton for some of the best music I've ever had the honor of listening to.

[@Vampiresmind]

I heard this song from DOTA CINEMA. Celldweller live forever!!!

[@NotRiansLuke]

This song is so gorgeous, gets me every time, even after 8 years. I can't tell you how much this song meant to me when my wife and I were going through -- due to outside forces -- the roughest struggle of our marriage, circa 2013. Thank you for that.

[@theaceofspades9666]

This sorrow weighs down on my shoulders This fear is getting harder to hide You'll leave me alone in this darkness Left to hold out Against the tide

[@lunatikk_synth3405]

i was immersing in the beauty of that last 30 seconds.... ....then the celldweller spash came on an scared the living shit out of me

[@FerLonguini]

So beautiful it hurts.

[@krasenkoychev7076]

Easily the greatest Celldweller song!

[@ulti8106]

you could say that for 90% of his songs and even the 10% is still high quality

[@Meeran]

The most emotional piece of celldweller's music by far, the first time I heard this, it actually made me cry, breathtaking, Klayton, just breathtaking.

[@Embersword281]

the lyrics in this song are beautiful, they almost make me cry because i can feel the emotion behind them, even though i may not fully understand them

[@smilinsam2172]

Almost religious. This whole album has religious overtones.

[@ziegzeig8625]

[@MisterSavage777]

Seriously underrated band. It's actually criminal. Haha I literally go out of my way to have as many people hear these songs as possible. They are truly amazing.

[@ThaBrownRyder]

Easily the most thought provoking song I have heard especially if you first listen to it after something big in your life

[@soIve_et_coagula]

This song shaped me in middle school in ways I can’t explain

[@mattashworth9744]

A modern-day masterpiece that honestly does not get nearly the attention it deserves. WUaB is a good album, but this song is on it's own level and provides the perfect emotional end. Klayton you've put out some good stuff before and after this, but I personally would be quite surprised if you manage to outdo this one.

[@alexisjoychandler3604]

+Matt Ashworth the only guy that is on par with Klayton(Celldweller is still always going to be my favourite music artist nothing can and nothing will beat him) is Thomas Bergerson he's like a fusion of Motsart, Packapbel and Bheetoven and timesed it by Ten Thousand Quateruodicillion. but Scott Albert will always be the number one and i don't care if he has very little circurlation with his music because i like it this way he is the GOD of Music from another dimention that talks with Music enhanced by the Godly powers of Klayton. Klayton is so awesome and he has few bad songs but his albums are just so good.

[@XxThePh4ntomxX]

Matt Ashworth well you may be in luck, Klayton of Celldweller is working on a new album dedicating to music he has made such as, Just like you, So long sentiment, Against the tide, and the album is called Offworld!

[@josephseckerson9640]

This song has gotten me through so much. I've listened to it during the darkest of darks and it always feels like I'm listening to it for the first time. Thank you klayton even so many years later. You truly are an amazing artist. ❤

[@iiwolftd.8085]

2017, never heard about celldweller before, just found it alone. I can't understand why is this artist so underrated, this is the best music i ever heard and for much more difference, only 148k subs to this channel? this is the kind of things that makes me lose hope in humanity. This song is amazing, i feel bad for discovering this so late, this song resounded in my soul. Also, i am from Argentina and i don't know how to speak english very well so forgive if i have any mistakes, keep the good work, Saludos!

Y opino lo mismo que tú este tipo está a otro nivel, todo lo crea es simplemente perfecto yo lo descubrí en 2016 y pensé ojalá lo hubiera hecho antes pero bueno más vale tarde que nunca jaja Un saludo compañeros ❤️

[@SpiritLegion]

i've been listening to celldweller and the boys from FiXT for almost a decade now... I'm glad people keep finding out about it and loving their music

[@rofyle]

Check out his other projects too. Circle of Dust, Angeldust, Argyle Park.

[@digitalon01]

Even if you don't like Klayton's style of music, no one can deny that his lyrics are nothing short of awe inspiring. Great song lyrics like this is in such short supply these days, keep them coming and I'll keep listening. Celldweller FTW!

[@chancePurvis]

One of the few songs that Klayton has written that has brought me to tears. Because it hits soo close to home. Its almost shame. I have lived a life that I am soo ashamed of it. If God didn't know anything of it. I'd die with a burden unknown.

[@FerethonCA]

I've never thought I would EVER say that. I want this piece to be played on my funeral, whenever and wherever would that be. Masterpiece

[@NightFlame-eb2cn]

i completely agree. this would be a good song at a funeral

[@TitanAnyMe]

yeah...all the screamo....but still, its good

[@MelkorHimself]

The first time I came across Celldweller was while playing Flash Flash Revolution (keyboard version of DDR) in 2003. It had "Stay With Me (Unlikely)".

[@brandonbomar1765]

Me too!! FFR "Stay with Me (unlikely)" was how I found Celldweller.... and i was hooked!!

[@arthasmenethil3573]

whenever i feel sad, i always find myself in here. Remember son, you are reaping what you have sown

[@xCryokinetic]

kalyton, you are truly one of the only musicians left in this era who can be considered an artist. the fact that you can write songs like "switchback" and also songs like this is a testament to your creativity. this song is so touching especially for anyone like me who has made mistakes and has had to endure the fallout alone. thank you for all your work, good and bad, you deserve way more recognition than you get.

[@TheCaptainEmohead]

this song calms the storms that wage war on my mind

[@sa-x19]

I remember listening to this 8 years ago on this day. All this time later it still makes me feel the same way. Thank you for the music Klayton.

[@TWolfguarde]

There is power in music. It's different for everyone. Sometimes a song's potency will last for a day, or a week, or a month. Less common are the songs that last for years, and they often take on personal meaning for the listener. But there are songs that will last a lifetime, that resonate with the core of the individual hearing them. For me, this is one such. They are rare, and they are precious.

[@tobiasfrey9431]

Found this song and listened a lot to it when my ex girlfriend and I broke up and I had to move across the country. Back then I hoped we would be together for longer, much longer. The lyrics really painted a perfectly matching picture in my mind.

[@NightFlame-eb2cn]

A timeless classic!

[@reycutesy]

One of my favorites.

[@BjallaundBrana]

This is my probably my all-time favorite song! When I found it a few years ago, I bought it and listened to it on repeat for 3 weeks straight. I'm still not tired of it (and never will be!). I love this song so much, it makes its way into almost every playlist I put together and it's a song that I would never ever skip. It just is one of the greatest pieces of music there is out there. Good job, Klayton!

[@zygimantasaugunas2435]

It's 2017 and I'm still in love with this song. I really don't understand why but it just seems that this song is more emotional, a lot warmer and at the same time colder than all these days singles. It has so many emotions hidden in the instrumental part and so much more meaning in the lyrics part. I simply couldn't possibly tell everything what I feel while listening to this song. It is by far the best song to me.

[@AestheticAntiseptic]

I love this song i play it over and over.
