Приєднався 7 лют 2021
Shadow Academy is a new project from Dan Avidan & Jim Roach.
After spending years together in the studio working in a producer/artist capacity with musical duo Ninja Sex Party, Jim & Dan realized they had a shared affinity for many older bands that all shared themes of big music, big guitars, & even bigger songs. During the early months of COVID-19, Jim started sending Dan new music to work on mainly to pass some time, & in turn, Dan would work on lyrics & melodies that were primarily inspired by the classic books he was spending his downtime reading. From Dracula to Moby Dick, many of the song themes were inspired by these classics, as seen with the debut single “White Whale.” “After writing our first song, 'White Whale,' together we knew we were onto something special” recalls Jim - & thus Shadow Academy was born.
Our debut album "Shadow Academy" is OUT NOW!!!

Lyrics:
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
Rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Shadow Academy - White Whale (Official Music Video)
Ew game grumps
I've never read Moby Dick, but when I finally do this bad boy is gonna be playing on loop in the background
Reminds me of a certain dragon and a very angry man
You know what I love most about the animation? Until almost the very end, we never see the whale completely. Only shadows and flickers, and only in the black-red images, when the Captain is the primary focus character. Which leads me to wonder... what if there was no whale in the first place? Only the fixation of an old seadog with alcohol problems.
I was coming to the comments to say that this guy sounds uncannily like Danny... imagine my surprise.
Great as Blood and Thunder is it's music video frankly sucks, this is far better in that and the song is great too.
I honestly love shadow academy No explanations of meanings no crazy promotional stuff just rock just like back in the day where I would open UA-cam and see random tracks by dead bands and a few Smosh videos here and there on my feed
This is everything I need from a track Ambience Electronic sounds Sad old school rock ballad And synth like Dan's voice
Outer wilds ost
CURSE YOU BAYLE!!! I HEREBY VOW YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY!... ...SOLID OF SCALE YOU MAY BE, FOUL WHALE! BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE! WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!
YO LETS GOOOOO! NEW ALBUM!!!
The fact that I've been watching game grumps for as long as I can remember and always seeing him so happy on the show, it's odd to hear him doing something so sad, but I absolutely ador this song. Way to go man!! Ps. Heard this first stoned and it made me cry🤣🤣 love you bub
Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
I keep finding myself coming back to listen to these songs and watch these videos. I love it so much. Dan, this is your best work EVER. As much as I love NSP and Starbomb, this is your holy grail. this is your magnum opus. It is the best music that your amazing talent has ever given us, and dammit I want more!!!! And I know I'm not the only one that does. I'm looking forward to the next album!
This is a favorite for sure next to 10 seconds from panic, point of no return and,custer
CURSE YOU BAYLE!!!!!!
The animation and lyrics are incredibly powerful
This goes SO HARD! I’d love to see Shadow Academy on tour in Texas someday!
Damn this is good shit!
DANNY SEXBANG?!
The pinkest of Floyds
Well shit, now I have to read Moby Dick
Of all of Dan Avidan's ventures, Shadow Academy touches me most deeply. When this came out I cried; it's like knowing an old friend from a holiday is doing alright. I pray for more music from you two, especially original stuff. Your own titled album is, no lie, one of my favourites of all time; it's incredible. You guys don't get the attention you deserve. This cover is exactly what I need to keep my hopes up that one day I'll be graced again by more music from you guys. Thank you Shadow Academy ❤️
“That bastard… has to be alive still!”
This is how I will chart my own path...
Eh, its ight. Original wins a hundred times over.
Yo. I was watching a silly Tom Cardy song 5 minutes ago and now I’m here having my heart rocked by catharsis.
Thought this sounded a lot like Dan Avidan and then i read who did the song
Super excited for it 🔥🔥🔥
ONCE AGAIN, THE FAULT LIES WITH YOU ISHMAEL!
it be said that after he slew the great whale, the sea god cursed him to turn into a white whale himself.
this feels like jojos bizarre adventures
LITERALLY CANTO 5
Oh my God the animation is stunning
Cant believe i missed this drop
Syd Barrett would be proud to hear this remembrance song still being rocked this hard in 2024
CURSE YOU BAYLE!
Beautiful video, and such a well done song! Open and shut like that
fantastic stuff. a teaser for a new album perhaps? boy i hope so! that debut work still gets added to every playlist i make! wishing you success with whatever you decide to make!
THE FAULT LIES WITH YOU, DAN AVIDAN!
All hands, full speed toward where the lights flicker. The waves... will lay waste to everything in our way.
Man, I love this song. Kind of funny to think that I found Shadow Academy before I found Game Grumps, NSP, or Starbomb. I remember I happened to come across an old GG video where Dan discussed this song coming out and was nearly floored. Absolutely incredible.
A dear friend of mine suddenly passed away very recently. Months before his passing, he introduced me to your band, and I instantly fell in love with your music. I feel it only right to dedicate this beautiful song to the memory of his life and kindness.
I do not remember the story of moby dick being this Bat shit insane.
CURSE YOU BAEL!!!!!!
Just what I needed more shadow academy!!! ❤🎉😊
you nailed the floyd vibe. welcome to the machine would sound brilliant with dans voice
2:24 epicness is impossihly cool
It's actually so beautiful that i can't even describe it. The intro, guitar and drums, Danny's harmony - all of it is just magnificent. It's the type of song that you can't just put on the background, you NEED to listen to it carefully, NEED to feel it from the very start to the very begining. Amaizing job!
The phrase white whale was originally used by whale hunters right? And now its transformed into thus obsession for revenge and stuff? Well since whale hunters coined it, wouldn't both the hunter and the whale be each others white whale?
The instrumental beginning to about 3:18 is one of the most beautiful synth-y mixes I have ever heard. I have Synesthesia, assosicate sound w color/imagery, and it is absolutely gorgeous. On top of that, Dan absolutely killed it. Amazing cover!!
