Downplay - Waiting On The Sky To Change (lyrics)

[@c.f.1133]

And here we are... the night of the release of the new single with Starset and Breaking Benjamin... and the song is just as fantastic. Nicely done.

[@tinyrogue1320]

Was thinking the exact same thing ^^

[@Akirafox05]

Fun Fact, The lead singer of Starset(Dustin Bates) is also the lead singer of Downplay

[@KeenanBernard]

You can really tell they adjusted their tone and pacing to integrate the breaking Benjamin sound and vocals.

[@jamestacoronte]

Fun fact: The reason Starset and Breaking Benjamin's version of this song is actually not a cover, it's considered a remaster cause the lead singer of Downplay is actually the lead singer of Starset, Dustin Bates. Cool little fact for ya :)

[@veryfarfromhome]

This is 100% Starset material... would love to see it in their third album!

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

Fun fact: Dustin Bates used to be the singer of Downplay before he started Starset.

[@alexbaribeault]

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 Yeah... pretty sure he knew. That's why he commented that in the first place

[@ProdKeyla]

Chi

[@apollon1ghts]

Same thoughts. The best Downplay song.

[@flamehaze59]

Jup, awesome song!! There's no song from Dustin which I don't like ❤ A re-release of this would be great

[@fernandolemus5965]

My god the remastering of this song for the Collab was amazing

[@Cam-bi2xq]

Absolutely fucking nuts. I absolutely CRANK it when it comes on. Slaps for sure.

[@MalySports]

As someone whose favorite song off this Downplay album was this, Starset & Breaking Benjamin took this song to new heights, their remake is so much better!!

[@jakebradley8202]

Ah, right, that song "Title" written and sung by Subtitle. Pure gold. 👌🏻

[@flamehaze59]

"And I waited for the skies to change, but oh, it never did" (Earthrise - Starset) "Waiting on the sky to change" (Downplay) 😊

[@ProdKeyla]

Earthrise=Starset

[@Thechaosmaster1997]

Just waiting for the song that says, "And after all this time, the skies have finally changed"

[@rockmusicrocks333]

This song, "Title" by the band "subtitle" , is amazing

[@RetoskiCat]

"I waited for the skies to change but oh they never did"

[@echostar034]

Someone pointed out the connection between this song and Earthrise and it blew my mind that Dustin is still paying such respects to the band who kinda started his career. I just hope he decides to primarily continue to focus on Starset and MNQN though, as much as I like Downplay its not nearly on the same level.

[@flamehaze59]

EARTHRISE 😊

[@foresto9901]

We've been waiting for nearly ten years and the sky finally changed

[@Zukadic]

@@echostar034 He really should just play Downplay songs with Starset now and then and let Downplay rest.

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

@@Zukadic some of the songs from transmissions were made for downplay and their remaking this song as starset with breaking benjamin.

[@mythra1598]

I bet Dustin is over the moon getting to remake this song with Breaking Benjamin 😭 he's come so far, I'm so proud of him

[@jamestacoronte]

Dude I felt that too 😭😭

[@triad5766]

Reminds me of Bringing It Down in the beginning.

[@janifromspace]

Omg yes

[@roxis48]

I do too.

[@mightydolphinxd8472]

Since Starset is doing a remake of this song I think it would be a great opener for the fifth album. The lyrics would make a great fallow up to something wicked

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

Agreed, plus they don't really have collaborations on their albums as far as I know, so this would be a first.

[@hallowseve_6472]

Only issue is i doubt this will be an album opener, it would be cool and it definitely fits but it’s only been like what, 9 months since their latest album, which usually their albums take about 2 years

[@michelcastro6422]

Bro, it will be a collab with Breaking Benjamin! For me that makes it even more hype!

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

@@michelcastro6422 yeah, imagine if it was the album opener tho, it would be their first on album collab. Prob unlikely tho

[@nedimemreozkas6875]

ah yes my favourite lyrics of all time 0:02

[@nedimemreozkas6875]

it's written with so much compassion it has so much more than just a meaning this is art this is everything a songwriter wants to achieve

[@GastropodGaming2006]

Title Subtitle

[@Mmmmmmmmtasty]

It has such a great message

[@blazinge4207]

So good 😢

[@creepyreflection8072]

As hyped as I am for the Starset version of this song, I hope that they will one day remake Edge of the Universe as well.

[@cjsm935]

So glad this song got the spotlight recently with breaking benjamin they really improved it which I didn't think was possible

[@JC-ei3ci]

Man, I gotta say, Dustin's voice was GOLD back then.

[@patrickhoover8501]

It still is

[@ddawg123]

still absolutely is

[@JC-ei3ci]

@@ddawg123 it's still good, but for some reason I like his earlier voice better. I think it has to do with how he pronounced his vowels...

[@flamehaze59]

"Beyond the Machine" is my favorite Downplay album and THIS needs to re-released as a Starset song! Maybe with a different instrumentation... Amazing song!! 😍🔥

[@lexsanders212]

Breaking Benjamin and Starset are doing cover of this together.

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

@@lexsanders212 not so much a cover as it is a remake since Dustin made the song.

[@MalySports]

Now that it has, it’s safe to say it’s INCREDIBLE

[@djmaydraws3862]

About that… lol

[@123Mathzak]

Nice guess

[@xxtriplethreat3372]

Came here after the release with braking Benjamin because I couldn't find the downplay version on Spotify, just as good as I remember 👌

[@ddawg123]

they took the downplay version off in fact

[@solracstormhunter3023]

1:29 This line always peaks my attention. It reminds me of Breaking Benjamin's "Anthem of the Angels", which is one of my favorite songs: (Verse 2) "Cold light above us, Hope fills the heart and fades away Skin white as winter, _As the sky returns to gray"_

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

You’re not gonna believe this…

[@matthewjohnson1891]

I think I like this version better then the new one.

[@tomcanningmusic4923]

this version is much better, new one is good but waaaay too overproduced

[@sodasandcoffeee]

Awesome! Can you do more lyrics by Downplay and Starset? They're my favorite! Specially they're lead singer, Dustin Bates, Loves the Outer Space which make everything awesome!

[@TheBigTimeBoiler]

Starset ft Breaking Benjamin about to make this song a huge hit

[@Brandon2940]

This is really the song where that Starset sound was formed

[@alexrehak5564]

This song aged incredibly well😏

[@uzmamahfooz2305]

Starset, MNQN, Downplay: ❤

[@Fitzroy0]

The Big 3

[@DoinkReacts]

The remake overall is way better. But the final chorus in this one is punchier and I like it a bit more. This one is a vibe, but it’d really just depend on my mood for which one I choose to listen to. I love the remake, but it’s a bit criminal that the original was removed from Apple Music and Spotify

[@GastropodGaming2006]

Original had a way better vocal intensity progression than the remix, although the difference is minor.

[@mrcrashspectra6633]

I just realized the reference to this song in Earthrise lmao

[@kylenielsen5083]

what reference?

[@Anzarth]

@@kylenielsen5083 "and i wait for the sky to change but oh it never did"

[@Mr.WolfOhBoi]

The fact that he has been making music since 09 shocks me

[@manuelchavez7713]

Actually, back in 2005. Dustin started Downplay back in 2003 when he was still in high school, but only performing covers until their debut album "Saturday" in 2005.

[@typhlosion7872]

Can't wait to hear the remaster soon

[@BUTTERRECRUIT]

I feel like they could have named this Atmosphere

[@alexbaribeault]

Meh. The current title is more original, and it's more emphasized in the song.

[@user-kr2lb1pk2o]

I think that's more of a starset title

[@darkbadwordangel]

Here after the remaster with Breaking Benjamin. God I love Starset

[@rairose4944]

Weird. I was expecting a climactic orchestral outro for some reason...

[@rairose4944]

@DiamondPie i know I was making a joke.

[@rairose4944]

You know, when I made the joke about this sounding like a Starset song, I certainly wasn't expecting it to ACTUALLY BECOME a Starset song lmao

[@crackerlydraws]

@@rairose4944 This aged like fine wine 😂

[@frontire_ace]

Tbh I still like this one better. The new one has got some edm vibes which for most people would be likeable. But this one just gives me the chills.

ye but this one doesnt have any screams

What a f'ing great song!

[@bkb-dx6bz]

Best part is after 2:45

[@Fitzroy0]

Agreed

[@justsomeguywholosthismusta8495]

And now Dustin re released it as a Starset song with Ben/Breaking Benjamin(I'm not sure if the whole band with Aaron and the whole crew were featured) just to give us this damn banger and make it more banging!... So my take is he did not really scream in the song before compared to now which gave it more heaviness and adding Ben's gritty/pent up angst vocals makes it better.

[@dragonx6706]

Who are here after the remake by Dustin and Ben ?

[@rekttt_7374]

This song is already good, but man starset is another level of music WTH!

[@Archerphil9000]

Definitely Breaking Benjamin-esque.

[@chadhenry961]

Perhaps that’s why they’re featured on the starset remake

[@devinsethna1287]

Imma be honest, I had no idea this song already existed. I lowkey thought Starset made this song 😂😂😂

[@Lampy13713]

Same singer lol

[@parkourandfreerunning4214]

This was sung by Dustin Bates who used be in Downplay. Then he created Starset. The song is just remade lol

Same singer??? Omg i just knew it now coz i realize that the voice is similar to someone and its dustin!! Wohoo!!

[@dsmith8616]

@@rajadayana15 almost ALL of “Transmissions” was supposed to be a Downplay Album, but the Record Label was Shafting the band big time… STARSET was actually a side project while some of the other Downplay members were going to University.. guessing the old label is feeling pretty stupid now… lmfao 😂

Yes, Downplay was his previous band before forming Starset
