Pendulum - Coma

[@matthewcallaghan319]

I still remember showing all the friends at 16 what beautiful song I had discovered.....I'm over 40 now and can still feel and see the friends I had frome back in the day, the love and beauty in this song will always be with me!

hahahaha i did the mistake of listening to it at a young age too - fucking creepy, it travels the brainbark of your skull, merely a visage of itself untill its ready to present itself and you are drawn back into that strange mindset >:)

Haha seems to be a few of us with the same experience. Always creeped me out a bit when I heard it first but draws you back since it's so interesting

[@breedapart51229]

This world we live in is a mixture of 1984 and a brave new world.

[@startouf7613]

@@breedapart51229 " Within the next generation I believe that the world’s rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of Nineteen Eighty-Four is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World. " " Utopias are attainable. Life leads us toward utopias. Perhaps a new century will begin, a century in which the intellectuals and the cultivated classes will dream again of ways to avoid utopias and to return to a non-utopian society, one less “perfect” and more free.

I remember accidentally finding this song when I was looking for a song by the other band names pendulum. I still think about it from time to time.

[@advancingaustralia2913]

This album is one of the greats of Australian music. So underappreciated. Look for "awesome party" by the same band.

[@nvoid2597]

Lol I literally thought this was pendulum (dnb group) first album. Christ I spent my teens telling cunts that they were an ambient band before breaking into dnb. Had no idea I was wrong. Buzzy

@@SAguirre7490 Ha, yeah, it confused me for decades too. This Pendulum was from Melbourne and were only active in the mid 90s. They only released one album and 3 singles, of which this was the best known.

Im here in 2021. First here in 2006 at 13 years old. It's been a whirlwind of time since then. This song just made me reflect on every year since I first heard this song. Was soul soothing

[@dudemcfurgusson7179]

I first heard this song in 2006 while playing World of Warcraft. This brings me back to friends from around the globe that i'll never see again. To roaming a world that was still fresh and new with good people who probably don't remember i exist. Music is the closest we'll ever come to time travel in my lifetime.

[@oldrustyrelic9121]

@Dude McFurgusson thanks for your story, mate. And I know what you mean. I was not to much into games myself but I did move around the world and went to alot of different schools as a kid making friends i remember fondly but I was such a small imprint over there lives I wouldn't of been remembered like I remembered them. Life is a funny event. The depth of this experience is more than the now

absolute genius samples in this (especially the door bell from a clockwork orange) & so beautiful. can’t believe this wasn’t bigger.

[@SmessedUpSquirrel]

I've been defending Pendulum for ages saying that they created this tune so they must have some talent. Talking about post-Hold Your Colour Pendulum. Now I find out it's a different band. Been about 8 years of me thinking it was the other one....anyway, really trippy and incredible tune. A little snippet from 'Natural Born Killers' at the end aswell. Superb track.

I just checked, they're definately not the same, but here's the funny thing, both Pendulums are Australian groups. True the D&B group are based in London, but were originally from Perth. I like both Pendulums.

[@PJozi]

it's weird they let them do that. so many bands have to change their name when they sign with a label because the name they are using has already been used by another band

[@aislinnkerr5618]

this is the most beautiful piece

[@WhoMightThis1Be]

I remember watching the video and talking it very literral. I thought this song was actually about this woman being in a coma, maybe after a miscarriage because they kept showing a baby. After hearing the last line that wasn't in the video "am i not all you dreamed i would be?" i'm pretty sure the weird guy in the elevator was her father, she was the baby, and the whole song is about growing up into a boring role for other people, until your everyday live becomes a coma in itself. The silent screaming in the video and the though of being in a coma myself terrified me, but we might all be in this situation to some degree...

[@nellwright1275]

That is very thoughtful I will now reconsider what I thought

Fell asleep with my phone playing music on KZbin and this song played while I was asleep and I heard it in my dream and then as I was waking up I had a paralysis episode and I could still hear it. Shit was crazy and every since then Ive come back and listened to it every so often. Such an eerie yet amazing song.

@58EM No. If you'd read the previous comments that I was replying to, you'd realise that I am correct. DonnyRedNr1 said that he couldn't believe that he thought this was made by DnB pendulum for 7 years, when it was actually someone else. Then Peapodmaster implied that DnB Pendulum couldn't make beautiful music, so I replied with a great atmospheric track by them entitled Plastic World.

sadly there is nothing similar to that sound, and only one album which is very different than this track. If you listen to the album, you can guess the author must have shot himself just after this is so dark
