He reads the lyrics like a freaking narrator i love it

[@alefmazlan3571]

A god does'nt need to prove that he can sings better than others..

[@trfmusic902]

A songwriter is a type of storyteller. So of course he would :)

[@seisialily]

His singing voice and his normal voice are so different from each other so it's weird hearing him talk.

[@meancat5551]

starset deserves more.. they're getting more known now but i hear from a lot people that they've heard better and i just can't comprehend that. ever since i heard my demons back in like 2014 or smth like that, i've listened to starset more than anything.

[@trs5127]

Exactly, like friends say "I've heard better than them" and I'm like "stfu, it ain't even possible"

[@piniie]

Same. I've never listened to anything that could make me feel the way their songs do

[@meekman6680]

those who don't know who starset is, I highly recommend you check them out, they are definitely one of the best bands I have heard in a long time

[@the69smasher]

Could recommend me some more :3

[@MetalGildarts]

Meeker :D seeing them in a few hours looking forward to it

[@ResidentEvilAssasin]

I’ve started to become one of their biggest fans in 2017 💗 I really love them

[@DarkEyedJunko]

Ya one of my fav bands!

Yaaaaa

[@slnoll21]

Listened to Starset since the first single off their first album dropped. I know they're new, but Starset had become my favorite band of all time. It's more than music. If you think I sound crazy, just listen you will understand

[@shadowsoul1695]

Scott I definitely agree with you on this because I feel the same way. I just got into them when Vessels released. I didn't like it that much when I first heard it but after 10 listens, it finally hit me and it hit me harder than any other album I've heard this year and even the past 3 years. Phenomenal band and phenomenal albums they have released!!👍👍👍😎😂

[@FireflyProductions]

I definitely know what you mean. There's something about them that makes it more than just a band, more than just music. I don't even know what it is, but it's amazing. I've never followed a band more closely than Starset.

[@MrMtcaleb]

Look up downplay, while Dustin only recently began starset it is not his first foray into music, downplay was his first band and it sounds like old starset, some songs were originally written and performed with downplay such as dark on me or my demons and even carnivore

[@borntofly8947]

I know what you mean. Such an underrated band. Everyone on earth could be a fan and they’d still be massively underrated.

[@KingoftheSage]

For me I think it's the lyrics that do it. I can relate (in my own way) to what's being said. And the music that's composed is outstanding! For me, it's like a therapy lesson with good music. Revealing things about myself that I couldn't not previously express or put into words, but they've done that for me... then put it into a poetic form, made it rhyme and added music. It's like my life is now a soundtrack..

[@kallie5340]

I love this, and love Dustin to pieces. He's so smart, and speaks so intelligently, as well as when I met him he was also a super kind, giant goofball.

[@flamehaze59]

Same, I've also met him and it was the best experience EVER

[@cobyboeder9879]

[@clintbeasthood9758]

This is one of, if not THE smartest people in the rock scene. A true musical genius imo.

[@JustAWildSkullKid]

The fact is that he has a huge brain out of music world too

[@Pluvillion]

He's a literal rocket scientist and I'm glad

[@ilay829]

Homie wrote a whole novel based on the transmissions album and is also an electricity engineer.

[@GabrielLima.]

Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein were jealous

[@theiathegreatest]

[@spacenerd7786]

Starset seriously needs more recognition. Not only do they make amazing songs that have deep meaning and the music videos show a whole different side, Dustin Bates is a space nerd and here we support that. I _highly_ recommend people to listen to them because damn I love their music.

[@TurbopropPuppy]

_Give us the instrumentals, Dustin, and no one gets hurt._

[@Starlightfur]

RandomAccessMisery agreed

[@amaster9241]

Dustin's voice is so calming that I want to hear him read stories to me every night while I fall asleep lol. That would be awesome.

[@SanjaSleipnir]

Starset is everything I've ever wanted music to be. Seeing Dustin here and explaining the story behind this song is just pure fulfillment

[@starwalker6]

I love listening to Dustin talking through the song here. He's got such a calming voice, and obviously he's smart, so I could listen to him explain his songs all day!

[@ACBKindle]

I comeback every once and awhile and man love to hear more from this group and Dustin in anyway or form.

[@cynthiamaney7202]

It's weird hearing the song without his high notes

[@DVRKSTXR]

One of the coolest bands with one of the freshest and most progressive sounds in the industry. Easily one of my favorites. Transmissions was a dope album and Vessels is awesome as well. Starset never disappoints. 💯

[@lcamilo3840]

The bridge of this song is so good.

[@deepbluefyre777]

[@flex4285]

This is my absolute favorite song. The chorus lines have so much energy and I love the story behind it.

[@IVANSITO73]

This channel needs to bring more Starset songs, I don't know why u bringing such crap nowadays when there are such amazing lyrics

[@socks1w]

Damn he’s got a deep voice.

[@pr1med]

This band is so underrated. I saw them live when they opened for Breaking Benjamin and Seether this past May. I hadn't listened to any of their art until I saw them live. I'm already in love.

[@przftl]

I never thought about that song in that way. It's was something like "society try to make us like everyone, and when you are not like them you are the monster, the difference, the non accepted".

[@bitwisedevs469]

That was a beautiful translation

[@balazsbotyanszki5100]

Star set is amazing I hope people will watch this

[@Anime5290]

I am actually glad I found this video. I often end up googling for the meanings of certain songs with mixed results. To have the artist actually explaining what they intended to say with the song was very helpful.

[@Fishy225]

I actually had a different idea from what they meant by the sng and stuff. But I Always tend to add my own subject, my own stories to things. SO yeah. could have expected this.

[@mia8710]

Makes me sad this video only got 50k views

[@Resident--a]

In almost every way, this is a breakdown of my last attempt at love. From me finally letting go of the walls and trying to be open, to have a healthy relationship. To being used and neglected, turned into a monster, pathetic and weak. Able to see what went wrong, hindsight is always 20/20. All the things I ignored in favor of chasing the serotonin. You get to that point and you understand the why and the how, but you also know it all comes back on you. There's no one else to blame.

[@LostBriscut]

How can no one like the bridge part of this song, it's my favorite of all the songs I have in my phone!

[@EdgyMile]

He is so freaking creative, smart and attractive. ❤

[@flamehaze59]

He is a sweetheart ❤

[@colbyashelley9109]

This song pretty much tells how I feel about my father. He abused me all my life, which ended my training to being a US Marine. He got under my skin, in my head, and I didn't make it through boot camp because of him, as well as myself for letting it happen. Before I left for boot camp, he pulled a gun on my mom right in front of me. He's done so much damage to my family and I. He's brought the house down on us, and I'll never forgotten what he did to my family and I. His manipulation, his physical abusive side of which I was the punching bag, and his cruel ways of making my life hell. I know it was a simple construct of lyrics but it connects with how I feel about my father.

[@anxhelovucinaj1576]

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you and your mom are in a much better situation right now.

[@angelacorona5241]

So I know he's not picky about how people relate to his music, but for me this song helped me through the ongoing years of chronic pain with how much I've been cut open and stabbed to try and be fixed. Chronic pain is the monster in my story. And their song Perfect Machine helped me get through my 1.5 hour MRI (was able to listen to them on pandora). Carnivore is another song I relate my pain to. I cannot wait to see them in concert!

Ive noticed, for me, all their songs go into a huge story that keeps going. Something i need ti turn on when i sleep/gong to sleep as its comforting. Probably weird, but i interpret better when half out/hlf awake.

I always give my own meanings to songs...does anyone think the artist wants it that way or is it bad because it might not be the real meaning the artist intended

[@avabarron7366]

hilde105 - Musicic is therapy. Not just for the listener, but for the artist who writes the music as well. Music has gotten me through some pretty tough times in my life, as I'm sure it has for many other people as well. An artists main objective when writing music, is to write songs that people can relate to and interpret in their own way. A lot of song lyrics are purposely written in a way that leaves the meaning open for interpretation by the listener. That's the beauty of music, the same song can have 10 different meanings to 10 different people.

[@unknownuser4275]

Dustin himself has said that he tries to write the songs so that although he might mean it one way, people can be able to interpret it and give their own meanings to it. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s something we do to try to connect us more to the music

Okay this is gonna be a long one, so here's some popcorn 🍿 I never had the attention span to listen to an album in full without any interruption, skips, just full immersion. I always would listen to shuffled music while doing something else, and starset was no exception. I loved My Demons, Carnivore and Monster like the rest of you goobs who came to watch the video. I even hyperfixated on the band for a while, listening to almost their entire discography, again, on shuffle. Of course Vessels was involved, but I always considered it to be my least favorite album because to me, it was too much. None of the songs were bad, seriously. I love starset. But out of all the bangers, Vessels had the least amount of absolute bangers. That was until literally like twenty minutes ago, where i heard Starlight differently for a bit. (Another song off Vessels) I heard a story forming. I realized that this might be what Dustin had been rambling about in that one genius video i saw a year or two ago where he's being all nerdy and excited about his own band I decided to take it upon myself to put on some good quality headphones, and listen to the album in full. Paying reeeal good attention to the lyrics and sound of it all. The sound is probably my favorite part. If you have headphones like I do, i want you to listen to Back To The Earth's climax for a bit. I cant pick it apart, its too beautiful all slammed together like it is. All i know is that the character we're following is taking a long journey back home after discovering something with such an emotional weight, it has its own gravity. And its crushing. This album is a true beauty. Please please please heed my word i beg of you listen to it in full, no interruptions, just immersion
