Tears fall out of my eyes involuntary at 6:07 .. its one of those songs you can associate so many memories with.. good or bad. And yet, I also feel better after listening

[@bboyStuntZ]

YES! YES! It's exactly how I feel. Even think of the title of the song. It's like a song for the end of the world or something, like eternity and fighting through extreme difficult situations. Overcoming extreme obstacles.

[@WiseWo908]

To me it feels different. It reminds me of old times, especially because similar music was in a documentary about Chernobyl. It was the part where they were showing soviet propaganda I believe hehe.

[@yossarian2014]

Is it a true fact, that High Contrast´s sound never gets old.

My 2nd time being totally immersed in the rave scene. It's crazy to think this was 20 years ago, and even crazier to think my 1st time - the greatest time ever, never to be touched - was 30 years ago. Out to all the original ravers....

[@leighmichelle9585]

I'm 36...first rave was 20 years ago @ the Sanctuary, Milton Keynes! From then I was addicted & raved to DnB EveryWeekend all over London...No longer live in London & my heart aches for it ✌💜🎶

[@TheTwingings]

I quite clearly recollect the whole atmosphere in the background of the chill out talking to fellow raver friend’s when I used to speak my mind, so many memories and vibrant feelings of the time attending the odd rave. Now I brock out to PsyTrance whenever I get the money available to me.
