Celldweller - Tainted

[@blackarachnyia]

Klayton, I will definitely never be able to thank you enough for this song. It always brings tears to my eyes, but not tears of pain, not exactly. Your Music (and this song in particular) has always helped me through some tough times. If I could have a super-power, I would want to be able to make you understand the way your Music makes me feel, the way your Music has always saved and healed me. I have absolutely no intention of flattering you, but if you ever read this comment, please know that you are the only artist who created so many worlds in which I totally find myself. If I didn't know better, I'd believe you actually know me. Thank you.

[@e13kid]

I like it too.

[@phoenixstone5709]

I'm so addicted to your music new and old.

[@patricklauer4452]

phoenix stone Same!

[@BeyondBlackStars]

one of the best songs on the blackstar album...

[@Sammy_Scratch]

It's not a question of why and if she'll make it It's more a question of when and how she'll take it Standing out there alone completely naked Another secret's been kept and left her tainted There's nothing more she can do to make them change it She does the best that she can to rearrange it There's still the question of how she's grown so tainted A tattered canvas unfurls, watch as they paint it [Chorus:] She's at the edge of the world She's there standing alone She's the loneliest girl And now she finally feels like she's coming home [Bridge:] Slowly fading and decaying Please ignore what they're saying [x4] She fought them bravely until defenses caved in Pressing their teeth to her neck until she gave in Now there's no question this girl is well acquainted With suffering in a world that's left her tainted [Chorus:] She's at the edge of the world She's there standing alone She's the loneliest girl And now she finally feels like she's coming home She's just done what she’s been told Her heart is turning to stone Here at the end of this girl This time she finally feels like she's coming home Like she's coming home Like she's coming home Slowly fading and decaying Please ignore what they're saying Like she's coming home She's at the edge of the world Like she's coming home Slowly fading and decaying Please ignore what they're saying Like she's coming home She's at the edge of the world Like she's coming home Like she's coming home Slowly fading and decaying Please ignore what they're saying She's coming home

[@maetheron1160]

Oh thank you! The lyrics in Spotify are wrong lmao

[@sashimimisha]

Dear world, WHY haven't i heard of Celldweller before?!

[@KhaoticWolf]

He has such an amazing voice. Klayton is awesome!

[@IMVADER2]

Definitely one of the strongest tracks of this album, and I *always* return to it. So raw & visceral, with pleas of desperation, and finally acceptance towards the end. As much as I love your new stuff, and "side projects" (really Scandroid is much more of a 'part 2' in my mind these days), I always find myself humming along to this album in my mind, until I can't take it anymore and have to put a track on...usually, it's this one.

[@stalk8r]

I cant't help it, but this is one of my favourite songs from Wish Upon a Blackstar... It's so strange that it's almost exotic...

[@Ghost10111991]

Клейтон лучший!!!!! класс песенка!

[@TheSk1996]

ΤΟ ΚΑΛΙΤΕΡΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΠΟΥ ΕΧΩ ΑΚΟΥΣΕΙ ΠΟΤΕ ΣΤΙΝ ΖΟΗ ΜΟΥ!!!!!!!!!!

[@Swerve_City]

Feels very Muse-y to me, at least musically. Gives me a Supermassive Black hole vibe.

[@ciprianparaschiv7591]

Now that you say it ... yeah lol.

[@kellyflute]

this is LEGIT. I don't see how you're not a music LEGEND right now.

[@Nesekas9]

Notice that at some point in the song , when Celldweller says She is on the edge of the world, picture apear where that angel sits on Celldweller's logo ;] like he is that edge :)

[@edv42069]

who dares to dislike this??? :O

[@liquicitygaming8881]

+Kitty KitKat The Tainted.

[@edv42069]

omg yes! what a fabulous pun!...or criss angel! XD

[@TheDennys21]

Sociopaths

[@TheeAbstractHero]

It is probably best for all of us fans that Klayton doesn't go mainstream... every artist that goes mainstream goes bad.

[@nievesshiratama3964]

This song just drips epicness everywhere. I love every single one of these songs! You've got my subscription, like and all my support! Keep it up dude! You're the best!

[@greghavens7679]

Damn good song!!! For years I have wanted to hear a female vocalist, classic background, maybe opera. Someone who could really put some power into it who had a beautiful voice, do this track. Just imagine.

[@RedPandaBearGaming]

2020 and im still jammin

[@pola50001]

celldweller rock forever

[@EzamoX]

cheers, smile from ear to ear.. probably till the release of the next ones :D

[@TooMuchSascha]

the album cover is more representing of this song than i thouhgt. the lines "standing out there alone" and stuff...damn.

[@Sefion666]

by now my favorit song from Wish Upon A Blackstar

[@jakkekop]

again FUCKING AWESOME CELLDWELLER WE ALL LOVE YOU!

[@iDebo]

my ears have been renovated

[@cyke1986]

Brilliant.

[@CharlieTuna8]

3:47, thought I got a Steam message

[@Cyntheeh]

Oh, seriously Me too, I've been feeling like that for years every time I listen to this song

[@Kokola-qh9wp]

Klayton proves that talent and hard work > popular record deal

[@aznboiz4o8]

Damn i love this chapter. Cant wait for the official version of Birthright.

[@PirateHarima]

Freaking awesome!

[@janessamunt5051]

I love this!!!!!

[@Doomsandal]

It is awesome! Downloading time is just so long >.

[@the_haamu]

Great!

[@MihokoDes]

A-ma-zing.!

[@chikapow93]

Thumbs up for CeLLdWeLLer!!!!!! :D

[@BubbaloneyMusic]

Eargasmic!

[@Terjay]

I preordered these. Downloading NOW!

[@lokundjoside]

what I love about this song is that at points the instruments sound radioactive imagine that a radioactive guitar strum that is how celldweller is making these sounds I figured it out

[@yoshu7]

The screen along with the song is tripping me out and I'm not even high!

[@hauntingrequiems]

Geez, Klay, about time! xD Love it!

[@ConditionedResponse]

Glad to hear new stuff as always : )

[@babyyy___]

[@emsen]

[@ComatoseRain]

[@GameplayandTalk]

Nice.

[@IAmAllThatIs]

Wooohouuuuuuuuuuuu!!!Ur the best ever man!!

[@estpwner]

the picture R MOVING

[@Doomsandal]

This part makes me sad 1:15 - 1:35 dunno why, maybe the lyrics but I fell in love with this track.

[@roseywinter]

i seriously can't stop listening to this over & over & over. :3 hehe~ eargasmic. but celldweller always is. long live klayon!

[@lvbomars1]

0 dislikes, keep it up men.

[@hideki12345]

wow this song really kicks ass!!!

[@2shruikens]

I bought this song from the Fixt store! That's saying something because I usually don't buy software, let alone music.

[@mzullos]

"The Lucky One" and "Tainted" are both fantastic. It's just that for me KZbin is f***ing up the sound quality. The FiXT Store's preview of the songs sounded so much better then they do here. I really wanna hear these songs in their best quality.

[@НиколайАгония]

So you're telling me it has better quality?...

[@KillerPassifist]

But either way I couldn't agree more. An automated Repeat button (unless you make a playlist with one song and set *that* to repeat the whole list) would omit the need for third party loop sites

[@Infinitoar]

I know this may sound a bit "weird" but I was listening to this one day and saw on Yahoo News that the soldiers across the seas are ALL coming home. And a there was a picture of a woman crying, she was a mother who was stationed in Iraq and now she's coming home to her kids finally. Other than that...good song Klayton. And welcome back whoever females[and males]in that war finally "coming home". Till next time Infin

[@Xrystian27]

awesome

[@CerberusT93]

@G1gaherz Theres a difference between good and popular, Klayton is the very definition of good and good things are hard to come by on this world. Being popular just means being a daily annoyance. I guess you could say by being one you sacrifice the other... -_-

[@xdarkjimmyx]

This is SO fucking good it's breaking the universe. Goodbye everyone.

[@mikealfonsi5874]

goodbye now fucking be the dark emo jimmy you were always meant too be, prick

[@Cassady1AndOnly]

Something else I've noticed about these songs. In each chapter there is one song about something personal, and they one about the world and it's stupidity. Personals:So Long Sentiment, Eon, Tainted The World: Louder than Words, Best it's gonna' Get, The Lucky One. Makes me wonder what the final 4 will be about.

[@reloocoo]

eargasm

[@Cassady1AndOnly]

@ravenscaresAL I listened to the commentaries too, it's awesome to hear how these advance. And Klayton, there are Egyptian flute players! lol

[@kyubikyu]

sweet

[@Mandoolin]

OH MY -- GOD

[@timonks]

great song :P

[@Jaxxtreme]

Epic.

[@Vanist_Meira]

In 2012 I wished upon a black star... Someone please help me.... I cant go back... It's so dark and lonely for so long...

[@arfelfel]

this song is tooo fucking catchy!

[@sickley1]

@Helldweller his style has change radically in the past couple years. even more so than he had been. I also find it hard to REALLY really like all the songs he puts out anymore, however, the songs that I DO enjoy are uncomparable.

[@ravenscaresAL]

I've just heard the commentaries (42-43) ... Really a great artwork, real good way of being humble and simple with someone's own work (like admitting about the release of the beta cessions); except there are a few points I agree about this song, tainted, and others I don't. Anyway, brilliant release for chapter 3... go get some rest, Klayton, you earned it ;) (Who am I to say this...) p.s. Why do this song reminds me of one of the female characters of the 2009 movie "Daybreakers"?

[@casefc3s]

@PollenEye I was thinking the same damn thing, except I thought I was just that tired.

[@ToRRinTiiCz]

awesome :]

[@mrmeatyman]

there really is no other artist like klayton out there, imo.

[@ColeCola12]

366 Likes and 4 Deaths... that's an amazing K/D Ratio

[@Draltal]

@JonLarzon he meant a repeat button as in you click it once and it replays the song over and over again with just one click

[@hyperdude144]

Are those Shadow vessels from B5 in the picture????

[@misterbplays]

Nah, my guess, the "Black Star" of the album. Shadow Vessels are pretty hard to miss, and very spider like. Thats not it.

[@Doomsandal]

DAMN LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

[@TaimMasheen]

0 dislikes... awesome!

[@Maymei99]

I can't believe I didn't know about this song until now! Gotta rape the replay button!

[@mysockispurpletoday]

:o found this song by accident but i love it.. Gonna find some more good music now

[@theuncanspan]

when the chorus starts it automatically evokes sympathy and makes you cry in your subconsious.

[@KillerPassifist]

@DeLethal Just type "endless" in the url at the top of the page before youtube - there's a site called EndlessKZbin that can infinitely loop songs, or just sections of songs if you partition it off

[@wtDrake]

Tainted is A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than Lucky One, that song seriously blows. Dunno what Klayton was thinking with that. But Tainted, So Long Sentiment and Louder Than Words are fantastic!

[@Draltal]

@KillerPassifist or type repeat after the word youtube in the link at top and youll get an endless repeat of the song also

[@DeLethal]

@SilentStormBand thanks for that :D

[@614ragechannel]

@k431 i cant either its gunna be nuts!

[@NYPete90]

@mistermanrocks it is!!!!!

[@DeLethal]

@RPGesus96 Thanks..

[@VladGoldMusic-ofc]

[@artScreamo]

Good job, nice to listen, but as always.

[@madsxcva]

@Sorae90 it has

[@DarkForeign]

1:15 epic part .... wrong ... whole song is epic

[@TheBenji979]

@mistermanrocks It IS moving

[@DeLethal]

@KillerPassifist if works in my country

[@ChibiHoboProductions]

@mrB0DYmassageMACHINE *fought them bravely

[@mrsmartypants4541]

I'm a writer. This kind of music really sets the mood for writing about my protagonist. Short, scarred, drug smuggler girl (16) on the verge of suicide.

[@archibaldmainsfield]

@Zondervann agreed but still pretty good

[@NanoCoasterDarkV]

fuckin'...awesome...

[@yohnazo]

@WretchedDrake For me the best songs on the new album are Louder Than Words, Eon, The Lucky One and Tainted :) Two favourites being The Lucky One and Eon. They're the only two songs I like as much as the original album XD
