Failure- "Dark Speed" -Official Video

[@MackenzieJEvans]

Came for David Dastmalchian. Stayed for the song. This is my favorite band now.

[@MonigMedia]

David has been sober for 21 years, this may have resonated with him so much

[@maryrosenbergr7570]

exactly my thoughts

[@lottadmg3374]

I hope this album comes back to spotify. Used to listen to this song all the time >:V

[@therewasascene]

What happened? It’s why I’m here.

[@MarkDanov]

@@f1sk8mm if you live in upsidedownworld, that's true.

[@NicholasGreenwood]

The song never reaches full-on crashing rock and roll, but stays in the tension. I'm digging the vibe. Failure can do anything.

[@Misanthrope1989]

Very well put. I'm positive that there will be other songs that sound more like them on the upcoming EPs & the LP too.

[@implosion321]

I second very good point !

[@DoneBefour]

I can see how NIN was influenced by them for sure. Awesome.

[@fnv-w3n]

I'm a simple man, I see Failure, I click.

David Dastmalchian as Polka-Dot Man (Abner Krill) 🔴🔵🟠🟡🟢🟣😍🥵❤

[@josephvonmeisthal275]

Is this the real Failure ? The guys from the fantastic planet?? Thats incredible

[@JessHart006]

Yes, it is very much the real Failure.

[@woodmansteve6760]

@Marcos XVI I love how experimental they are, they never stick to one formula so everything that they do is a new experience and you get so many more aspects of the song with every listen.

[@skonthebass]

@Choronzon 33 XVI This song is from the follow up album, "In the Future Your Body Will Be the Furthest Thing from Your Mind" and they are on tour in support of it. I caught them in my hometown and they are every bit as awesome in concert. Catch them if you can.

[@FailureBand]

yes

[@jobelthirty1294]

[@the_hellhound_]

David Dastmalchian ! 😍

[@jfayiii]

Perfect actor for a Failure video.

[@Ki11ersix]

HOLY CRAP!! Directed by Ken Andrews? Is there anything you CAN'T DO Ken?! Love that this video feels extremely personal considering the bands past problems with addiction. Excellent work guys!

[@richardroberson2564]

Wow I was subbed to you for a while

[@chexmixsix]

Ken wanted to be a video editor/producer before he went full time with Failure

[@aarynmaurer2814]

Just getting over the hump myself. Just been listening to these guys especially "Crashing Down"

[@tomasarson]

be a human being. that's one thing.

[@majimasmajimemes1156]

Casting David Dastmalchian was also fitting

[@dnaglitchgaming6565]

Getting clean is like putting on a Space suit and walking away from the comfort of well comfort. No fear in the numb, also no progress, endless circles, madness but it becomes you inside and out. He picks up the needle, then moves to vials which I perceive as Methadone to need that crutch, but at the end he decides to take that scary leap into outerspace which seems so dark, scary, and hurtful, which it is, but it's life and space suit isn't going to protect him because it's not really space but just outside. Outside his room, outside the condensed opiate fueled mental world. When your on opiates it covers you in an invisible shield like a space suit void of feelings. Everyone has their root reasons for using and everyone has an excuse to keep using but man the gravity is soo crazy trying to climb out from the hole your in and I could go on forever but this video and song are deeper than people think and if your not an addict it probably seems simple or stupid.

[@-C.T.-]

Thank you for your post. I was wondering about the meaning and your explanation is so personal and profound. I wish you well in your recovery. Thanking God I never slipped into the opiod trap...seems so seductive and scary.

[@konradk1066]

Happy to say am not an addict, am not even a user. But the metaphor comes across hard and loud. Glad to hear that it sounds like you are free from this too, now. I definitely feel for everyone with struggle

[@Infy808]

Polka dot man!

[@ericstever1574]

I have been a Failure fan since the 90's. I am also in recovery. This is one powerful video. Great job guys.

[@dnaglitchgaming6565]

Trust you are not alone. Fantastic Planet hit close to home.

[@davidniven719]

The absolute best band that no one has ever heard about.

[@jaz3189]

Ahhh me too Sir. Ha, Recovery life 💓

[@JupiterLight28]

hope your recovery is still going well :)

[@openplz3000]

What I thought was freedom was a trap, letting God take the wheel is Mt personal freedom. Yeah I discovered "Stuck on you" as a young professional background in the day, these guys still sound awesome, I hadn't heard them in like 30 years, definitely in my play list!

[@sgt.politeness1677]

This guy is a phenomenal actor, I remember him from Batman, he was just too good

[@deconimus2393]

The use of guitar texture and effects is genius!

[@Approachable1]

Theyre geniuses

[@TheSilverHatchet]

I've always wanted failure to succeed

[@CHodgy]

You articumulated what I wanted to, so thanks for that 👍

[@buyahhhhrooo4418]

Somehow I have been getting into Failure and David Dastmalchian all at the same time and I just now discovered they made a video together. I've heard David's story about addiction and it's beautiful to see this collaboration. This feels oddly healing. I'm rooting for these underdogs, both Failure and Dastmalchian.

[@sethpillowmusic7911]

where you here the davids story?

[@lilithpetite]

I love your music guys, David Datsmalchian is always a Plus

[@ASaltyDogg]

how the hell did i not know about this sooner?? it's got everything. briefcases, heroin, space travel. goddamn i hope ken goes down in history like duke ellington or beethoven

[@rrosenberg98]

Never noticed the gothy composition and undertones of this song. You could definitely tune this 80’s!!!!

[@mrfr0st7]

Wow. Just watched David Dastmalchian in Ant Man the other night. And got my Pledge Music update today. Awesome.

[@BloodlessWolf]

It's a grower and I really dig it now. Deceptively complex.

[@artfluegge]

David D in the fuckin house, awesome... NEW Failure CD

[@Everythingdiesoneday]

this might be the best sobriety song ever made, I always come back here when I’m about to fuck it up . Thanks Ken

[@mangonely]

I still get off spotify to find this song every now and then YOU'RE FREE NOW, YOU DON'T NEED THIS

[@fexofenadine7054]

Haha, I guess there are many meanings to that lyric

[@VeriTasered]

Racin' all around without a head to roll There's nothing keeping you from just floating away Everything you thought you knew that was true Has lost its connection and broken loose A wound that has opened that can never heal But you're floating on a channel that cancels the feel Of being untethered in an open void With nothing to grab you're just a broken toy But you're free now You don't need this You won't freak out You can't feel this When sleepin' is a dream that you want to be given But a waking sort of death is what you're actually livin' You're caught inside a space with no way to leave You're trapped inside a room with no air to breathe I'll run a week, I'll run a full hundred miles You cannot leave, you cannot demote yourself Your words flaring out Your words flaring out But you're free now You don't need this You won't freak out You can't feel this 'Cause you're free now You don't need this You won't freak out You can't feel this You did it right, you tried to forget it all You did it right when you said it was all your fault Don't change your mind, it's already over Can't change your mind when it's already gone But you're free now You don't need this You won't freak out You can't feel this 'Cause you're free now You don't need this You won't freak out You can't feel this

[@omarvgarcia]

So this is this polka dot man's past

[@seanarey9918]

about a month ago i saw this guy in the new blade runner, and was trying to remember where i'd seen him before. turns out it was dark knight. now here he is again. this man is haunting me.

Well if this song is anything to go by your next album is going to be great.

I wish there were more alternative rock bands that like Failure. This is a very good video. Dark but also innovative.

My God, in 2020 we got the new Hum record, Inlet, and the new Deftones record, Ohms. Now this year saw new albums drop from Genghis Tron and Failure. Every one of them complete bangers. What a great time for music and the lost art of the complete album as a brilliant body of work.
