[@bridgetshaddick9235]

I can't believe I've lived 62 years and I have only just discovered this artist he is absolutely brilliant, Bridget, England

[@hotlover000000000000]

I was afraid that Zack wouldn't upload the entire album to KZbin, since he expressed such hostility towards KZbin in his most recent blog post. Glad I was wrong, because although I really would buy the album if I could, I'm just a broke teenager that loves good music. Thank you, Mr. Hemsey!

[@jwightman795]

Same but memorizing an rapping the lyrics is the next best thing

[@ismafalvar]

What did he say about KZbin? Can you reply with a source?

[@hotlover000000000000]

Ish Alvarez Luke did the honors.

[@Nevermore093]

It's only $10...

[@hotlover000000000000]

Nevermore I don't you understand the definition of "broke".

[@luffyonepiece2]

A bad day. *Opens KZbin, seen a new Zack Hemsey song* Screaming now.

[@australianchalla6597]

Tuercas a Montones yup true mate his music is awesome ..

[@DEvanDADA]

Why is this guy not famous yet ? He's amazing!

[@DillSulix]

Conor THE DON Mcgregor He's already pretty famous. At least his musics are.

[@gregthompson5580]

His music has been used far and wide, in quite a few music trailers, most notably for one for Inception, which made some people see a comparison between him a Hans Zimmer. His music is popular, though I wish his name was as popular as it was. He deserves at least five times the recognition he has so far.

[@stealth_moose]

Conor THE DON Mcgregor His music was used in the trailer for Inception, after all.

[@DEvanDADA]

Stealth Moose I know , but it annoys me seeing people like lil wayne , drake getting all this fame , they don't deserve it as much as zack does , they have shit lyrics , they don't know how to rap . Zack is better then them at every aspect , the thing is , he's not an ass kisser

[@chstras7755]

He is, but not enough. Even more, his name needs to be more famous, a lot of his musics are known by a lot of people, but almost none of them know the name of Zack Hemsey.

[@arbitor_thel2105]

"Friend, go yonder, but bear this in mind. In this world, know one truth: you can't run from time." -Zack Hemsey. Zack isn't a rapper. He's a god damn poet.

[@songbird.9001]

That used to be the very same thing. And stil is, in cases true to hip hop.

[@jordanedson5906]

[@schuylerleithulfr788]

It is .... an indescribable sensation that you will feel when you find a song that describes so much about you. The message of this song is simple: The Runner should find his place, or he'll run until there's no place to find anymore.

[@paragon1782]

Got to love zack. Doesn't have any bad songs just some that are not as awesome as others. This is a super awesome.

[@donniechant1357]

Paragon of Growth That's exactly what's up, really no shitty music from him, it's just some of his music falls short compared to each other, still good though.

[@rivalsigma3023]

No you just don't understand the others

[@CaliTheRaven]

@@rivalsigma3023 mans responding to a comment from 6 years ago lol. Im sure they understood the others, but I agree with them. Some of his music while still good isnt as good as other tracks and thats perfectly okay. An artist will never be at peak capacity for every work, thats just unrealistic. This is not one of those tracks though, this song is simply stellar

[@ahmadjabareen4730]

Once again.... Another masterpiece! Cheers mate!!

[@hussanriasat3663]

To be heard in a trailer soon.

[@chstras7755]

Needs to be in Christopher Nolan's next movie

[@findusuli]

Nah, "No Mand's Land" should be! :) Nothing against this great song, of course. The named would just fit better for being in a movie. :)

[@chstras7755]

findusuli Actually I could see every track of this album in the soundtrack of a trailer XD

[@findusuli]

Yeah, but not really in a movie. I love, LOVE his rap, but it's not very fitting for a Nolan movie. :D

[@chstras7755]

findusuli oh you know, I think mind heist would perfectly fit in inception, or I'll find a way in interstellar x)

[@Creed-Salazar]

He was living his life in a fog Oblivion’s welcoming arms His view of society marred No perception of forces at large Quite the misfit and always on guard In his mind rang a silent alarm And so lays the ground of a future that waits When you feel like you ain’t where you are Out of control his compulsion to flee Absent of value as best he could see As from within so without unto thee Knew he’d strike out on his own eventually And so it would be Patience no virtue amid certainty Fortune unknown but determinedly On the day when he had turned twenty three He decided to leave He was gone The freedom was like an addiction he soared on a glorious high Living to him was a mission devoid of objective in mind He’d move at the drop of a dime with no thinking or questioning why Never developed attachment to things all would get left behind This was the method that patterned his ways Perpetual motion without any reins No repercussions, no piper to pay No obligation to come into play Nothing to weigh No one to sway No inhibition or stress to allay “No benefit to the bonded” he’d say “So die on the morrow but live for this day” Lone as the wolf strays he remained one in kind A habit of force made as he wade far and wide Now onwards and upwards, no grind If you don’t seek you can’t find Devil-may-care, well no devil compared He was onto one hell of a ride He was gone Brick by brick, stone by stone Block by block, home by home Bridge by bridge, zone by zone Piece by piece, forged his own path Years come and gone Sites come upon Miles drifted on Wounds licked and gnawed Fate hemmed and hawed Yet this single flaw Fulfillment he never saw Running from guilt and from sorrow disguised and from things insecurity hides Running from doubt and the pressure to cope with no semblance of hope on the rise Running from heartbreak and love Running from who he had failed to become Running from fear he soon came to realize He was left all alone with but words of the wise And so on the day when our passage entwined Now long in the tooth at the end of his line He said “friend, go yonder, but bear this in mind In this world, know one truth: you can’t run from time”

[@Gamer3172]

this lyrics are quite hard... i think anybody know some feeling s described here.. i mean, who didnt just wanted to run from everything ? i did thought so sometimes in my life

[@LOLHAXGUN]

yea, instead of "soon" i hear "then" but still, the meaning is quite the same

[@danutthemy]

im singing this everyday at break from work

[@davepi7182]

Oh damn I swear I was wondering what that creepy emperor with his castle in "Resident Evil 4" was called I swear I was wondering for a few days I thought about him like a week ago and could not get the weirdos name. Damn now I know it was "Salazar".. That was his name I was wondering for a few days. I just had him on my mind wondering what his fucking name was. Kinda crazy that I just figured it out looking at your name.. And it is attached to this song. Wow kinda creepy.. I was not expecting that at all.... Kinda weird finding that out of nowhere and especially here out of all the places... His name was Salazar.. Damn I remember when "Resident Evil 4" came out on the game cube. It was fucking lit. It was one of the best and most fun games I have played when I was a teenager. And man I swear to God no fucking lying at all I actually beat "Resident Evil 4" like 30 fucking times. You literally can go ask my neighbor. A friend of mine we grew up together and his name was Adam. He also beat the game a few times but he saw what I had. He seen the treasure and the amount of times I have beaten "Resident Evil 4". I have no idea why or how I was able too continuously repeat and replay the damn game over and over that many times. Today I would play for 15 minutes and say "no more i'm done" I cannot even play a second time now if I beat a game. Just to think I fucking beat "Resident Evil 4" like literally 30 fucking times. It got to a point where I was saving all the fucking jewels and treasures I collected every new game run! And I fucking swear to God I defeated the game literally 14 times without selling one piece of jewelry every treasure was fucking saved I do not know why but I actually did do this I fucking Swear on my fucking mothers life no fucking joke. Wow just thinking about that experience it was such a long time ago... That is fucking insane... I knew where every fucking piece of treasure and gems and jewels where at. I just stockpiled all of it for like literally 14 full game runs without even selling 1 piece of it... That is crazy I just thought about that and actually did that man wow wonder why "Resident Evil 4" and trying to remember the name of that midget Salazar. I just started thinking about this a week ago. It started with "what was that guys name who had the castle" I could not remember and seeing your name just now reminded me. Sorry I just had to let you know this because I think that is one insane crazy coincidence. My mind is blown well not really but still that is very unusual... What a crazy ass coincidence I swear I just had to write about this because this did happen. Like for real everything here is 100% truth I did not lie at all I swear I just had to say something because it was such a bizarre coincidence out of all the fucking time I could of thought about it. It crossed my mind about a week ago and trust me man I have seen your comment 6 Months ago and more then once. Did not even think about "Resident Evil 4" at all. Seeing your comment multiple times I even read the lyrics you have posted a few times but your name... I did not even bother looking at it until now... that is crazy!

[@thewrathematician1911]

Zack Hemsey can say more in a few lines than many artists say in a whole album.

[@jellyfishlamp3611]

Dude, beside the genius lyrics, the instrumental is such a killer! Powerful and dominant and spectacular... that violin strikes in such an elegant way, I can't.

[@lazaroskeisidis6095]

Lyrics couldn't have been any more relatable than they already are. I'm absolutely blown by the fact that each line resonates with my life right now. From 'He was living his life in a fog' to ' you can't run from time'. I cannot even begin comprehend the profoundness of it. And to add to this ridiculously astounding coincidence, I'm twenty three right now.

[@pitti538]

Life isn't meant to be ignored, it's something you savor day by day, and and to run from it is the worst choice you'll ever make.

The linguistic choices in this song are unreal. The way the words ride with the rhythm and stress with the beat are just so perfect, and the bass and the drums and everything about it is just so powerful and awesome--I can't get enough! Favorite song on my favorite album by him, bar none!

Right now I'm like the first half, a young man with no purpose and no aspiration stuck at the bottom of the pile trying to essentially beg for a job. I truly fear that I may well end up like the second half, living an empty life and being most alive when I've got one foot in the grave and the other soon to follow
