LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[@johnschaffer6968]

The song with breaking Benjamin sounded like older startset because it was. Dustin wrote that song for his first band and re-recorded it for this special release.

[@Max-jl2ie]

Isn’t it a cover?

[@johnschaffer6968]

@@Max-jl2ie Dustin (Starset singer) wrote the song for his first band, Downplay. So he just re-recorded it for Starset/BB, he even commented on a Facebook post recently saying it shouldn’t be considered a cover.

@@johnschaffer6968 oh whatttttt

[@johnschaffer6968]

@@Max-jl2ie yeah. The downplay version is on KZbin. I couldn’t find it on Spotify though.

This video is deep in the STARSET lore. This is about 30 years in the future, and the three dots on the temple are the BMI, brain machine interface. It is supposed to basically turn your brain into a computer, where you can relive memories, attend events while not actually being there in person, and experience literally anything. It serves as your ID, banking info, etc. It can do amazing things, but it also shows the extremes of capitalism and consumerism. The WERK, SHYFT, E-SCORT, ALWAYS-ON, BODY TUNE* programs are all created by the corrupt New West/New East (corporation/governing body), who get people hooked on these artificial means of having a "perfect" life, but then they get trapped when they can't afford their next fix. There are means of hacking the BMI, which you can see in the video for Symbiotic, and then there is the New West, which is taking control of people who can't afford to pay for the BMI features and enslaving them. The BMI is also a tracking device, and when it's online, you are only allowed to go certain places, do certain activities, etc. (The Breach video), and if you go out of bounds, you will be "supplicated" (basically shut down) by drones. There are rebels who sneak people to safety, away from the technology that has corrupted society, too. *The redheaded guy who shows up at the older lady's door during the BODY TUNE part is also the main character in the video for Ricochet. I won't detail the entire video, but definitely check it out. It's one of my favorite songs from Vessels. Monster also shows an early iteration of the BMI and how it lures people in. Bringing It Down shows how someone's memories can be accessed by others and why that's a double-edged sword. It also happens to be my favorite STARSET song (although the music video is v. 2.0, and I like the original better).

[@flamehaze59]

STARSET is so unique in their style!

[@MrSnowwi]

This is the most perfect comment one could ever imagine to a Starset song

[@flamehaze59]

@@MrSnowwi I agree!!

[@abtuseplays]

so basically Neuralink

[@lc81002]

@@abtuseplays similar. It's not based on it, though. Dustin came up with the BMI concept for the lore storyline before Elon Musk ever talked about Neuralink.

[@Chaos77777]

This video is the reason I like Wyatt so much. The analysis, the self reflection, the shift in mentality from the negative to the positive, the way he convinces you to free yourself without trying to convince you. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[@Jmespo83]

I never listened to the band before the most recent single, but it’s been on nonstop since. Can’t get enough of Starset.

[@fernandolemus5965]

I get what u mean with the breaking Ben Collab, it was originally an old Downplay song (Dustins old band before starset), it was made close to the transmissions era, and kinda has that feel, I thought it was fine, it improved the originally and added on to it, to each to their own

[@NotQuiteCupid]

All the Starset you guys have been checking out is making me so happy!!! I'm also excited for the move! Good luck and lots of love!

More starset! Dig back in their catalog if you need to and just pick a music video. Love the in depth break down that you both have of them. The videos are supposed to make you think about them. Symbiotic is another recent one that was good as well.

[@tyfi31]

I thought the song with Breaking Benjamin was underwhelming too at first, but I love it now after listening to it a few more times. On the other hand though, Icarus grabbed me right away! It's one of my favorite Starset songs

[@fynruss1359]

I only listened to it once but I literally couldn't tell who was singing when in the BB feature

[@bl00by_]

There's a icon at the left side of the lyric Video which indicates that. Ben sang the 2nd verse/chorus.

[@flamehaze59]

YESSS!! More Starset reactions from you guys!! You need to check out more LIVES from them! Also, Starset has a immersive lore behind the songs :)

[@slploudmouth]

Great reaction!! Starset always pushes the envelope! Glad you all got into some philosophical discussion. Most people do not take the time to ponder on the what if's/ out side the box mentality. We have free will to do what we want. Great reaction.

[@RogueBipolarDemon]

I think y'all would love the new Waiting For The Sky to Change (Feat. Breaking Benjamin) that Starset just released. Luke Holland did the drums for that track.

[@thewanderingwolf7116]

I loved the song with BB honestly. It sounded like old Starset vibes. But both of their voices sounded huge and the strings and composition of the song just made the whole thing feel epic to me lol. Nice reaction!

[@jonnybunner5344]

Keep up the Starset!! Gotta check out the new I prevail though

[@badspirits2038]

No way more starset impossible! Awesome video!!

[@travismanuel8127]

This video is soooooo deep.

[@viniciuscunha4667]

It's Black Mirror song version

[@Jeff-vn1xz]

This is Aldous Huxleys Brave New World

[@RockMastaful]

Find comfort in the fact that you directly contribute to my playlists xD

[@Max-jl2ie]

You gotta listen to their first album

[@NetDive]

one thinks they can change the path. the other knows it to be real. we will all be here for just a moment of time.

[@carloscordero4898]

Starset is legendary! Awesome!

[@velocitygaming52]

Lets gooooooooo Starset, much love

[@xXhazeviewXx]

I miss this content and thoughts behind reactions. Will miss these reactions wyatt!

[@brianbatchelor152]

I no longer trust your opinion if you didn’t like Waiting on the sky to change

[@CrownMyselfKing]

Random question, Is your outro music by you, or is it part of a song?

[@pablorodrigocalvo]

Hey Wyatt!! What happened to the covers you were doing ?? I miss them

[@slainchaotic9553]

You should try My Demons which an old song a their MOST POPULAR song

[@travismanuel8127]

Where’s the I prevail reactions?

[@K1NGD0M]

Seriously, album is 10/10

[@Mr_Bedlam215]

This is a crazy video. It reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077 with some of the concepts. Amazingly well done from Starset. (And best of luck on all your adventures, guys!)

[@WxB2001]

Do you plan on reacting to anymore I Prevail as their new album is out and it slaps. I'd recommend reacting to Judgement Day and Choke, they're absolutely awesome.

[@flat---line]

The best part of this reaction was the Starwars reference... Followed by the advice at the end. :)

[@stratusedge2k7]

Next, do Symbiotic and Otherworldly!

[@TommyGun3131]

Symbiotic is sooooo gooooood

[@legendthegamer4]

Gotta react to the new dayseeker

[@jettsetter7]

I know it would be easy for you but you should cover “Imprint” by dying in designer and throw in your own stuff where do 😎

[@ocdouty2989]

I was so locked in on what Wyatt was saying until the fly landed on his forehead... 😂😂

[@drlaackenstein]

If something makes you think, thank it.

[@thommoboy666]

Please more starset music video reactions! Symbiotic next :D

[@echostar034]

you guys missed a lot of lore connected to the videos. Go to the STARSETONLINE youtube channel and watch the shorts connected for more context!

[@ja_cow_ski]

PLS listen to Gravity of You you guys would love it

[@mrhawkey8111]

You should like really react to Adam Gilbert performing Leave This World Behind, satisfaction guaranteed

[@eleeashley2304]

Like a storm-(kingdom) New.

[@hugglebunny3]

Watching is commenting

[@2darkzero]

Hello Wyatt! :)

[@TristanTurner2]

React to Without Me by Dayseeker!

[@LuisAlbertoJimenez-pg2rh]

Por favor toca su casion en la batería

[@redwingsfan451]

WYATT!!! You HAVE to listen to the new Electric CallBoy song 😂😂 you're gonna laugh your a$$ off

[@Preffixes]

That video was deeeeep

[@ibraheemlatif1673]

Wyatt starset did a song with breaking benjamin u should listen to it it's a banger

[@JannikBork]

I came for a reaction but got an analysis. You should feel the song and video first and then start a second run. Just my thoughts.

[@dpmFIVE]

The great reset, coming to you.

[@jairogarcia6774]

I do not recomend watching this while high.. cause FUUUCK!!!! 🤯

[@wordierdesert157]

This is a good song sadly the video plays over one of the best parts

[@jjqq2743]

React to the new Currents song!! The Death We Seek

[@emmafletcher9189]

My son is like that, he doesn't want to leave the house, his friends are all online. Covid lockdowns completely screwed people, especially children. It's a very apt song.

[@Bolanos9976]

Can you react to Jtoonzzx inside my head or 17 years of sins

[@MrAchsas]

I kinda like enjoy these songs way more without the video cause most people just only pay attention to the video and not the song..

[@faraz830]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kevinayala5097]

The dooo react to the new song

[@colton444]

Gotta be the first for startset

[@kolkador]

Growth never comes from comfort! Everything worth achieving/ obtaining in life, takes discipline, consistency and sacrifice. Much like if you want olive oil you have to crush the olive in a press, or diamonds are never formed unless they are under pressure. These are all real world examples (metaphors) that God (our heavenly father) has given us, and we are to apply and follow his leading. This is what he is trying to show all of us as his children to wake up (free us from) to the lies of this world, that there are many things that our hearts "love"/ lust after and keep us in bondage to. If you put your faith in Jesus and receive the gift of His Holy spirit, he will guide you and lead you through your wilderness into a promise of freedom from bondage/ mindsets. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. ----- 1 Corinthians 13

[@gaigecoleman8574]

As a hardcore fan, starsets song was overhyped

[@rhanks05]

Waiting on The Sky To Change was just to generic

[@colton444]

Unfortunately as much as I love breaking Benjamin and startset, it was let down with the song as well. A collaboration like that I was expecting something very special. Not what we got.

[@Max-jl2ie]

You gotta listen to their first album
