The secret is that it's a radio station he misspoke as oneohtrix Point Never' as a kid ... Magic 106.7... I can't understand all the lyrics, but from what I can tell, the whole station didn't burn down.

[@HeavyMellow]

this is the best song i've ever heard in my life

[@tuanjim799]

"Oh the whole station's gonna burn down" Man, there's something very.. ominous and apocalyptic about that line. Something very much of our current moment in history, but also timeless.

[@Firebird2078]

yeah this, black snow and same are about the apocalypse. it's crazy how unsettling yet articulate the mood is set

[@enviousshogun]

Funny how a band called the station was in a nightclub fire and I see this comment while trying to find the video the reporter took lmao like, 100 people died

0PN is going to be remembered one day as one of the most gifted electronic artists in music history. Even if you’ve been following him for a long time and aren't as into his newer music, you can’t deny that it sounds nothing like what anyone else is making. His willingness to experiment is what is going to make him one of the greats. He is an exceptionally versatile producer and I think that he will be sought after more and more within the music industry as time goes by. I just hope he stays true to his art and does what gives him the most fulfilment.

[@dakotarivera2646]

replicant well said!!!! Too true

[@forbescallum]

He will go down as one of the greats.

[@eatfugu]

Yeah no doubt. Guy is up there with Richard

[@aquiestapedro]

Is one of the best already.. And the new music is one step beyond.. This guy is an electronic music god!!

[@moonisland9371]

These visuals feel exactly like a fever dream. Beautiful, haunting animation that together with the song makes such a very unique experience.

[@Arceus5555]

There's something about the animation that's VERY reminiscent of Aeon Flux. It's like surrealist cyber Berserk animated by Peter Chung.

[@jacobdotcom5349]

@@MistahShootrES this song was based on an old demo that opn made for usher, but usher decided against using it. Opn used it himself to make the station.

[@Apathist1408]

@Ryan Smith Usher asked OPN to make him some demos cause he was interested in him. This was the song, but Usher turned it down

[@briepink2292]

This song was performed at Opus Merriweather Event in Columbia, Md a few years ago.. I fell in love with this song ever since. Just imagine hearing this song live it was just soo beautiful..!I just cannot put words to how it made me feel.. 🥰🥰

[@shaimousie6247]

caught daniel at the first armory show, front row. tried for at least twenty minutes to explain the pronunciation of Oneohtrix Point Never to an old frequent-flyer of the armory. She held her phone up to take flash photos the entire time. shout to david/ez/nate for the visuals/being very nice when we chatted after the show. props to daylen seu for this stellar video

[@Sound8VisionVibe]

I used to pronounce it Oh-Neo-Trix and I still think that sounds way more cyberpunk :P

[@Triunity4]

Sound8Vision same bro when i found out how it was actually pronounced i liked my way better haha

[@retardmode]

scarily close to what i imagined a music video for this would actually look like. wonderful

[@NVsionbeatz]

this, song, it's a trip, it's a journey, it's everything

[@jaime5649]

This video is still so underappreciated...

[@lifesoldier]

god this is so beautiful in a way i find hard explaining it's the merging of all the sounds it's all so discordant yet it goes together so well

[@alexfurnas1263]

Seems to be about the Station Nightclub video. I'm reading a meaning in the lyrics about the morbid fascination that drives some of us to watch readily available videos of horrible death, gore and suffering on the internet (open invitation) like we're searching for meaning in it, which is impossible (try to find the bottom of the bottomless hole) and the unhealthy but seemingly uncontrollable nature of the urge to consume that kind of media (nobody needs this information, something I can't control)

[@ryankitch]

Excellent tune, cool video. OPN can do no wrong.

[@zogrush]

What do you guys think of the video? it seems to have an interesting story, almost like these beings experience time differently and everything is ageing really fast around them, one was chained up and controlled by another and once they destroyed the controller everything was falling apart while life was coming to, in objects you wouldn't expect? or maybe there is some kind of mastermind the controller was being controlled by :S:S:S haha Daniel you are something!

[@Goofy476]

It seemed like one had been chained, and to unchaine itself it abuses and confines the other, but this causes everything to fall apart, and both thier deaths

[@tarquinnff3]

Getting an Aeon Flux vibe here.

Has anyone here ever interpreted what the dots at 0:38 mean? The same sequence of dots appear in the video for Black Snow at around 2:17. I am not very familiar with cryptography and I don't know a lot about converting things into Morse Code. If you change the instances of two dots appearing within the same character (double dots :) with a dash, it may more closely resemble Morse Code, but any attempts on my part to translate this into something other than nonsense result in the phrase "ET" with some number of "E"s before and/or after the "T". Please let me know if anyone has a different/alternate interpretation of this; I am wondering if there is another ARG out there for this album/future releases that I have completely missed.
