I suppose it fits in a way. Command & Conquer's original concept was effectively a reaction to the politics and media of the time as well as how drastically the nature of war had changed; and that era was very much when we were starting to really feel the Birthing pains of this brave new world...

It was heavily influenced by the Bosnian War which was going on at the time of its development, I guess Tiberian Sun 2030 is also some people's predictions (it won't be as bad as that at the time but might be on track).
@DSW22 Hi there. I'm a Norwegian dude (blond hair, blue eyes, all that nonsense) who is engaged to a girl who is half-Jewish from her mother's side. Is that a problem?
So several people have mentioned how relevant this song is now. It was relevant in the 1990s of course though....the wars that Yugoslavia broke apart with, the Persian Gulf war at the beginning of the decade, Kosovo, and some other wars too. Despite being a decade of "peace" after the end of the cold war, crime was also actually pretty bad for at least the first half of the 1990s too in the US.
My guy, I made that comment a decade ago. Also, how are you going to call something an ancient truth and reference a philosophical exercise created only two centuries ago in the same breath? Stop trying so hard.
Wow, can you believe that was 18 years ago?! Andi545, if you did that video, great job. The simplicity of it = badass. While I always imagined news footage of riots, molotov (sp?) cocktails and general anarchy, this is cool. Thanks for that. And thanks to everyone who loved the game and this song. I was sorry to see Westwood be consumed by EA. In 1995, I don't think any of the gaming companies were using independent music in video games. Westwood took a chance and we owe them our thanks.
Command and Conquer was the first video game I ever played, and it's still one of the best. I remember playing it on my PS1 all the time, it's the reason why I love RTS games so much.
HarzerII Handy Actualy it is but Ideas of brotherhood are pretty much real their link brotherhoodofnod.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page besides where you come from brother
Set Brother The Blackhand do -they assassinated the Austrian Kaiser Ferdinand, which cheesed the Austrians off, and that triggered ww1 after Serbia (where the BH come from) gets attacked by Austria.
that one part "armies of hatred that no longer have civil rights." perfectly encapsulates the vanu sovereignty from planetside 2, an indocrinated alien worshipping cult like armada that deems humanity as a whole as insects. not exactly a real life based comment but it came to my mind.
Song is from the album "There's a home" by I AM, released in 1995. Search for 'I AM las vegas 1995 klepacki' (cannot post yt-link here, stupid). It's a nice album :)
somthing about rock today pisses me off. Bring back this style of music as it dominated the 90's and i think the landscape of music will be alot less limp and boring as shit and above all else KICK ASS.
Old post that I do have to agree with. But for all these people who complain for the need for better metal/rock. GO FUCKING FIND IT. There are so many smaller underground bands that go for those styles that could use support. Just because what you want isn’t popular, doesn’t mean it isn’t out there.
Hello, I don't know if this still would be relevant to you but the wiki page says "I Am" was a progressive rock band. I myself would somewhat categorize this as industrial metal but there are so many sub genres that I only say that tentatively. I hope it helps a little. I could maybe recommend 3Teeth as a similar band that is active.
I know this video is two years old, but just as a FYI, the lyrics appear to be wrong in several places. Here's Frank posting the full lyrics in the Petroglyph forums : [PetroglyphGamesDotCom]/forums/index.php?/topic/7296-to-frank-klepacki/#entry118864
if someone had the real Album of I Am please contact me. I need it in original Quality. I see a UA-cam Release which was ok, but i want the full Sound :)
Cars and trucks rigged with bombs roll up at key government structures, explodes next to buildings filled with civilians(car alarm goes off).

GDI Air Support arrives to intercept Nod ground forces Chinooks arrive along with light vehicles, APCs, Medium tanks and Mammoths Orcas and A-10s swoop in and take out some infantry and light vehicles, then get taken out by F-22s, Stealth tanks and Manpad Stinger Infantry. Massive air battle over the city takes place. Nod and GDI commandos meet face to face while both sides are still engaged in combat, exchage close fire, end up and fighting in hand to hand combat, Nod commando kicks GDI commandos ass, puts a bullet in his head. Nuke gets dropped on the remaining GDI forces wipes out most of the city.
AH, sorry i misread your original comment, i thought you meant that it's a shame there's no lyrics in the vid but that it at least makes a good background
There's always Starcraft II, though that's more of a sheer APM game so it may or may not be your thing. Could always try more oldschool games, like Warcraft and Age of Empires.
I imagine it tells us about how Evil can be a timely spirit, how it bypasses the order instaured by humans to be vehiculated by the same men, and how it comes to be. Furthermore, it tells us about how even the most manichean institutions (those that try to make the divison Evil/Good seem clear enough) are weak enough to give in to Evil, probably since they wouldn't know what is Fair/Just, therefore ignoring Evil, since they concentrate on believing all is Good. Finally I imagine, it claims Evil is a waste of time. Not being constructive, it kinda contradicts the way the universe just keeps developping over time, though it does pack up a lot of stimulation in a short period of time. Hence the "live my life fuller before I die". "Holding a candle" apparently means to be "superior to", and the wind, generally refers to something we, as human beings prefer to avoid, or to downright ignore as one says, "so much wind in the trees" it's about things people say and others ignore - until it gets too heavy : in other words, It might mean "Do/say something superior to what is generally done/said in the generally futile/irrelevant lot of what humans actually do/say", and then see how the times react. For all that would help, pleasure to be of assistance, KaxiLaxi. Song kicks ass by the way, been trying to learn the bassline off Demolition by this same Franck Klepacki, can't find any tabs, nor is it simple to break up to reproduce it to the ear.
The whole game is about the world post USA vs USSR. It was meant to be an heroic fantasy game but they endured so much news about the first gulf war that they decided to change the setting. Now I'm not the guy who goes around claiming that Deus Ex predicted 9/11 because no towers, but Command & Conquer however... Western trade center gets destroyed by an emerging fanatic state in middle orient ? Even those lyrics are hard to believe now. A brilliant sci-fi work. I wonder if they tried to be super dark or we're just not very optimistic (but spot-on) about the future. And yeah, it's pretty much about democracies hypocrisy leading to their demise/strenghtening the nod. "I live of the feeding of lies" > refers to both the GDI propaganda AND the Nod propaganda/religious doctrine. While GDI isn't overly christian in C&C, the conflict between GDI and Nod has some strong religious undertones. It's not a fight regarding ideologies, they share the same ideology, GDI isn't helping civilians more than Nod, it's just about who gets the divine right to rule the world and subdue/eradicate his opponent."I corrupted and ravaged her mind" about the Mother (Earth), corruption being pollution by tiberium. At this point I'm seriously tempted to say that the tiberium is just a metaphor for power and greed. That's why it's polluting the Earth so hard.
I agree, but as of lately it has been hard to find any good RTS. EA ripped apart any good C&C coming out. All of them remind me of the horrible Generals that was put together like crap. I suppose that is what EA's trademark is: a pile of shit. lmao.
What's stupid about it? You dislike every sort of car out there on the market so what prevents you from designing your own? You have intelligence. Do you have effort? You can make your own engine and do something new for a change.
That argument is rather stupid. So if I don't like a car I bought I should become a machinist and build my own car? If some company out there wants to make some money and does not want to belong to EA, Bioware, Bethesda, etc; they need to develop a game with some effort and intelligence. Seems everything is using the same engine (unreal for example) along with the same exact game play.
Funny how a song written in the mid-90's speaks volumes of what's happening in 2020 and beyond.
It's eerie as to how easily the lyrics could apply to current events
I suppose it fits in a way.
Command & Conquer's original concept was effectively a reaction to the politics and media of the time as well as how drastically the nature of war had changed; and that era was very much when we were starting to really feel the Birthing pains of this brave new world...
Well the first Tiberium War is set to tale place 2021 or 2022, don't remember which year
@@Morgomir09 Nope. C&C takes place in 1995, after the Soviet Union had dissolved.
@@bobbwc7011 the tiberium meteor landed in 1995, the First Tub War takes place about 30nyears later, after Nod develops the process to harvest and refine tiberium and after tiberium has spread to every continent and some fields have matured enough to be harvested
This game is still one of the best RTS games of all time
and THIS GAME WAS DEVELOPED IN 1995!
Nah, gotten old - like me. I prefer Generals to play now.
The lyrics get more and more chilling as each year goes by.
The original Tiberium Series was so far ahead of its time and predicted so much of what's going on now it hurts.
It was heavily influenced by the Bosnian War which was going on at the time of its development, I guess Tiberian Sun 2030 is also some people's predictions (it won't be as bad as that at the time but might be on track).
Ya dont say
@DSW22 Hi there. I'm a Norwegian dude (blond hair, blue eyes, all that nonsense) who is engaged to a girl who is half-Jewish from her mother's side. Is that a problem?
@DSW22 I'm asking if there is a problem with a guy of Nordic descent dating a girl who is of Jewish descent. A simple yes or no will suffice.

It's amazing how a video game from the mid 90's can be so telling of the world's current state.
Looks like after decades, we've still been in the same cycle as before
You just discovered this fact recently, but this has been ancient truth that can be summed up with Hegelian Dialectics.
My guy, I made that comment a decade ago. Also, how are you going to call something an ancient truth and reference a philosophical exercise created only two centuries ago in the same breath? Stop trying so hard.
I remember when I first heard this music in 1996. It ***still*** holds its edge. Captivates, inspires, scares, and rocks!
Wow, can you believe that was 18 years ago?! Andi545, if you did that video, great job. The simplicity of it = badass. While I always imagined news footage of riots, molotov (sp?) cocktails and general anarchy, this is cool. Thanks for that. And thanks to everyone who loved the game and this song.

Imagine the video just being a montage of news on EA ending projects and firing people...
28 years ago now.
frank klepacki was awesome. wonder what he doin now
Command and Conquer was the first video game I ever played, and it's still one of the best. I remember playing it on my PS1 all the time, it's the reason why I love RTS games so much.
Randomly had the urge for this song and randomly saw your ten year old comment.
I just want to say one thing:
*KANE LIVES IN DEATH*
still can play online via cncnet, but red alert is most popular
comand and conquer was ahead of its time , they predicted the future LMAO
they sure did.
We fight for Nod
Too bad this song was not included in the Remaster, especially considering these are destructible times.
@@hanselvogis7301 not in the jukebox :(
I played as Nod just for this song.
Same 😊
Timeless. War truly doesn't change.
I'm a simple man -- I see [?] Times by I AM, I hit "like".
R.I.P. Westwood we will miss you....
True. This game is still one of the best RTS games of all time

Ow wow I had forgotten this existed, which is a shame because this is pretty damned good.
Brotherhood exist

Hello. Year is 2022. The song is about the last 5 years at least, maybe even about the whole XXI century.

While this is playing: Images of a crane pulling a rock out of the ground, then said rock is displayed in a museum and shows: Cain killing Abel....
Song is from the album "There's a home" by I AM, released in 1995.
Search for 'I AM las vegas 1995 klepacki' (cannot post yt-link here, stupid).
It's a nice album :)
you can since months ago, even then you could just select and drag the link onto your comment, like i used to before that got fixed
I'm having flashbacks to 10 year old me thinking this was the coolest thing in the world.
It still is, but it was then, too!
By the way, while the text isn't in the video, the picture itself makes an awesome desktop background :]

somthing about rock today pisses me off. Bring back this style of music as it dominated the 90's and i think the landscape of music will be alot less limp and boring as shit and above all else KICK ASS.
I could not agree more. Rock has lost its edge.

What kind of music is this? Metal? Heavy metal? I would love to listen to similar songs from the 90s.
Hello, I don't know if this still would be relevant to you but the wiki page says "I Am" was a progressive rock band. I myself would somewhat categorize this as industrial metal but there are so many sub genres that I only say that tentatively. I hope it helps a little.

that's because the text scrolls up as the lyrics are being sung, fact remains that the text is in the video
