Love how a car just slams into a giant worm and suffers no damage, because it's cool.
Too cool to get bruised
@Rayan the guy in the car is probably just like, "I'm too cool for injuries."

I like how Creo made us so attached to spheres just by giving them names that everytime we see something about them we get hyped up and invent headcanons

Drifting is an efficient way for cars to go around turns, usually sharp curves. Curves are parts of circles. Therefore, this is a song about circles.
Anthony is probably driving (Somehow) so the song was always about spheres

Dear Creo,
I know you will probably never see this, but. I absolutely love your music. My whole life I have been searching for music like this. It is an absolute privilege to be able to listen to your music. Thank you for making such awesome music. By the way, my favourite songs are:
-Awaken
-Drift
-Gravitate
-In Circles
-Never Make It

-Lightmare
-Nautilus
-Glome

wow, u know a lot!
What you know about rollin' down in the deep?
I love when I can tell just by listening to something the amount of time and effort put into it. This is something that you don't often see in a lot artists, they don't have personality to their music, they don't necessarily spend time going over every single fine detail to make it just perfect. The fact that I can listen to this hundreds of times over and still find something new and exciting about it and never get bored says SO MUCH about your music. It's clear that you care about your work and that every song is something meaningful to you, because it 100% translates through each and every song.
I listen to so much music with so much variety its almost absurd, and yet still I've found nothing that gives me the same feeling as listening to your music. I feel like I could write an essay on each track about why it's so unique, well-crafted, and special in it's own regard. Most people find it impossible to have a "favourite artist" just because there is so much variety out there and so many good songs by so many different people... but to me the answer has always been and will always be Creo. To be able to make something so special each and every time you touch an instrument is unfathomably rare- and is something I compare in my mind to some of greatest bands of all time. Just.. thank you for doing what you do and I hope one day I can tell you more about everything you've done for me and so many others in the last 5 years :)
Uh ok. I totally took the time to read all of that btw.(I did not(sorry))

@@TitaniUwUm ah, understood.
edit: discoword
sandy indeed
Hooooooooly smokes this one tingled the little parts of my brain that like percussion! I'll get to the rest, but I gotta hand it to the percussion for just being excellent throughout! It never feels like it's the same as it was before, always whipping out something new and keeping you on your toes the whole way; just like racing through the desert! New challenges, new bumps in the road, watching for the little details to adjust your wheel just the right amount or hit the clutch a the right time. It's absolutely excellent! Adding in claps, little bits of flare, it truly does feel like someone is sitting behind a drum set and just messing around; just messing around, as we all do when drifting around in the desert! My absolute favorite has to be during the second drop, the pause makes you feel like you can see the drummer twirling around in joy. There's just so many little things you can notice about it if you listen closely, it's impossible to mention them all. Amazing!
Of course, I would incur the wrath of the comments if I didn't mention the saxophone in the middle. Taking up the main focus of the post-first drop, it makes itself unique and yet fades into the background quickly, making another appearance in the second drop. At first I was a bit confused - I expected it to be in more places. However, as I listened more and more, I realized it was replacing the melody wherever it went, and then it clicked to me. It wasn't replacing the melody, it WAS the melody! Well, sort of. A revelation came to me: the more electro pulsing you usually have as the melody sounded awfully like a saxophone, just if someone messed with it quite a bit! Is that intentional, or am I making way too many connections here? Whatever the reason, it works so well and I love it! It just makes it all feel more controlled, and yet so wild.
The pulsing bass works great! There was never anything astonishing, but given the focus on other elements it's not like it was meant to take first place anyways. Working in tandem with the percussion, it does it's job perfectly! The higher pitched elements that match it at parts (I don't really know what to call them) definitely give it more power and help in connecting it to the melody. Excellent work!
Just like with the percussion, there's so many little elements so numerous I can't pick out all of them. Each one adds it's own little twist - like the record spins and little guitar at the beginning making it feel like an early-2000's music video! Or little twinkles and twists here and there, like cartoonish machine parts clunking around and making noise. They're just great, and I love each one!
I also love how this piece takes it's time to build up and warm up, and yet it never wastes your time. It's like it's own little action scene, as if you're watching a punch head toward a guy's face; you know what's to come, and you're enjoying the now to enjoy the later. The pauses build up your anticipation, like watching the punch in slow motion, and the general aura this song gives off just pumps you up, giving you a charge! You've somehow made a song both chill, powerful, and extremely hype-worthy.
All in all, you've hit the target again my guy! I don't know where this'll fit into the Creoverse (I don't follow that too much because I feel if I did my old stories would end up bleeding into it lol) but I'm sure people are already busy shuffling stuff around! Whatever the case, you've added another great song to all of our playlists, and now begins another cycle of "CREO SONG WHEN" yet again. I've actually considered making a Creo Song tierlist - or are tierlists dead yet? Doesn't matter, because I'm going to listen to this on repeat anyways!
As long as you're here to bless our ears, I'll be here to write for ya my guy. Hope your summer has been going well!
About the 2000's, yeah it has that vibe, in fact the clip, car, fight part, road and sounds remind me a lot of 19-2000 by Gorillaz

Man, if Creo does this art by himself then he has to be one of the most talented people on this planet: making absolute bangers, making amazing art for each video, and doing it in 1 month after the previous song. Even if he doesn’t do this art, he’s still amazing.

Unlike Dark Tides and Worlds, I have not warmed up to Wavelight over time. Perhaps it will happen one day, but for now I hope Drift picks up where Creo's banger streak left off.
Edit: Creo drifted, and drifted, and drifted into the golden collection box of bangers.
I didn't really get it that much with Worlds/Aurora/Wavelight, but this is definitly picking it up
Didn't like worlds or wavelight much but this one and Aurora were both so rad
I personally love Wavelight and kinda dislike Aurora and Worlds
Some people may not like Creo's newer tracks but I honestly like that he keeps adding something unique and different to his music and art instead of always sticking to the same old style
Where are these people who dislike his newer tracks? They must be high out of their mind!
I didn't like his recent songs it's true, but this one is actually kinda cool, I like it :)
and he never ditches his iconic sax
You cant tell me 1:51 doesnt hit hard
I’ve been looking at videos of rats spinning to the Free Bird solo, and the music reminded me of this song.

Top 1 things that make me happy:
Creo uploading a new song.
It's literally the best thing in the world in my opinion. Today I got vaccinated and I am looking at this as a reward. Thx for everything Creo, don't stop being awesome.
These visuals really gives me 6-year-old-me-playing-with-toy-cars vibes and I absolutely dig it. Stellar work dude, this is such a bop!!
That car will never die
2:30 THOSE BACKGROUND NOISES ARE SO GOOD
I am very much disappointed that I am not even close to first
With every release, I always find myself wanting to say more yet not being able to come up with the words to say it. This is the twenty-somethingth release I’ve been around for, and there are only so many words in the english language that appropriately capture how blown away I am with each new song.
I find it amazing how you can put so much effort into both the music and the art, and they both turn out flawless each time.
I said this with Wavelight, but I seriously appreciate the effort that goes into making the song and the art collaborate to create a feeling and atmosphere. It’s something your old art was able to accomplish, but never to this extent. I love the stories that you’ve been developing with your videos recently. It’s so much fun to watch for the first time, even when some of it has been spoiled via Twitter teasers
I think I said something like this about Outlaw at some point, but I absolutely love when you make desert environments. Living in the hell-hole that is Arizona, it’s nice to be able to relate something awesome and exciting to endless fields of sand and dead plants lol. I can imagine myself getting pretty reckless on the 303 listening to this song, the art looks almost exactly like where I live (If you throw some buildings into the distance and get rid of the giant sand snake, but those are small things, y'know?)
And speaking of which, both of the character designs in this song are astounding. I’ve never been a fan of music videos that feature cars, but this one removes some of the self-absorbed seriousness that is often associated with those videos and has fun with the concept. It almost feels like a parody, but I feel like saying that wouldn’t be giving it enough credit. Sandy is just as amazing. I think I would like living here ten times more if there were sand snakes that shot explosives at me while I was driving, but that might just be me lol
I find it sort of comedic how well Anthony dodges Sandy's blasts, it's almost as if he went there to pick a fight he knew he could win. Seems like it would fit with his reckless nature
I also want to point out how you made an entire beachside scene, just to use it for 2 seconds of the song. The fact that so much effort was put in to 1 scene shows how much work you really put into this. Also, the water looks fantastic!
The only complaint I have is that the right set of wheels glitch out a bit on occasion. Big thanks to Cupcake for pointing that out to me. I really appreciate it. But yeah, other than that it’s flawless. The transition from casual afternoon law-breaking to sandstorm-shrouded sand snake boss fighting is such a random, unique, and creative concept!
I recently reread all of the comments I have left on your videos, and found that I haven’t really been talking about the songs as much recently. And of all of the songs to start that trend again, I’m glad it’s this one
I love the energetic funk vibes in this one so much. I can almost feel the heat radiating off of the song, or maybe that’s just PTSD from the 115 degree weather we’ve been having out here for the past week
I also really like how the art reflects the song’s change in pace. It goes from a high-octane (pun intended) race feeling to a foreboding and menacing action feel, and I find that awesome. I love it when you manage to capture an entire atmosphere change within shorter songs like this, it adds to much life to it and is part of why you stand out so much among other musicians to me.
The sax in the middle part does a perfect job of cooling off all of that energy that the first drop built up, and I love how it comes back during the second drop to add an odd sense of peace during such an intense fight scene
And speaking of the second drop, I like how it relates to Crazy’s second drop, in the sense that it starts off with heavy variation of the first but then goes to being the same as the first to finish off the song. I think it’s a fun technique that gives the song a sense of unity, which is especially nice here since the second half of the song is so different from the first
Overall, I think this was a job done extremely well. The song slaps, the art is addictive, and the way both of them work off of each other is awesome. Yet despite how great the art is, the music still stands on its own - and that’s what’s important. wish there was some way to enjoy the art as casually as the music, because I’d love to be able to watch it while doing other stuff, if that’s even possible lol
Also, another thing I discovered by rereading my comments is that the first one you ever ended up seeing was me saying I was gonna piss my pants in excitement, so there’s that too. Glad that was our first interaction. Quite the first impression, if you ask me.
EDIT 2: I also want to mention that the art reminds me of this one game I was obsessed with around the time Crystallize came out. I spent most of my time in the desert zones of it that summer, and those zones all featured a portion of a highway road that this song reminds me a lot of. Thanks for the nice punch of nostalgia, I forgot how fun those zones were!
EDIT 3: That sunset scene at the end is too good to be true
Epic comment, as always :)
You don't really seem too happy about me pointing out the tire glitches, sorry about that lol. I like how you mentioned the recklessness about Anthony, really makes his character stand out a lot. I like him even more now that I noticed how utterly kickass he is.
And yeah I can feel the heat coming from this song lol, it's not just you. Creo's songs do that to me for some reason. Like how Atmosphere makes me feel quite chilly and Red Haze makes me feel like I'm standing in a forest in the evening.
@@TheRaspyCupcake Lol it’s not a big deal, it’s only for a few seconds here and there
But yeah, I love the way Anthony is portrayed here. Maybe it’s just down to interpretation, but the way I interpret him makes him seem like a badass
Great comment, totally agree. I just think that the sax in the second drop adds to the dramatic effect of the song instead of providing some peace in the midst of an epic battle. But i find interesting how you interpreted it like that.
