This is a great example of why music is art. It’s not just about the lyrics even though that’s part of it. Its about the chords and the emotiveness behind them.

@@ksi8276 to be fair how is he supposed to be known without label or anything? Don't be stupid please... To give a message you have to be known, to be known in music you have to have a label. Easy as this.
@@ArthurV7734 sure. Serj's fame come from his recordings with major labels and SOAD, but he sold his own major lable to universal for more financial profit.

Did they need to have a lable to release all those massive albums? Rise against? White stripes? Elton John?

The part of this video that hits me the hardest is that he says he believes that they are free when their time has come. That death is an escape from the world we've created.
We should never forget, not "we" create this world. Our world is created by our elites. It is not a law of nature that th richest 50 own more than the poorest 3'5 billion people.
They were saving it for a time when it would be more politically useful to get the votes they want that keep them in power. Don't fall for it. Yes, things need to change, but voting based on this is not the way

Instead of asserting you are right by the magnitude with which I have misrepresented whatever indecipherable statements you made.

GMO's aren't going to help us reverse global warming, nor do we know the potential long term effects of them. Human nature is the real culprit in destruction, but we used technology to destroy the world. Now we're trying to save it with technology.
***** I do understand your point. Technology is simply the tool of human self destruction - still, a part of me wishes that there could be a day when humans will revert to the olden ways of living - although my philosophy is only applicable if we existed in a world with a gross population of
+Isaac Baranoff GMOs are not trees that help in the maintenance of the oxygen concentration in the planet. They are made to grow fast a d be harvested faster than normals vegetables will. The basic genetic makeup if the paint has be altered to make it immune to pests and increase yield. Although I don't agree with it, it is the only solution to the food crisis going on in the world. The main cause of all problems is the rising population. Too many human beings are spread on this earth like cancer and eating the planet away to the extant that it cannot repair itself in time. Also about your idea on nuclear power, do you what the waste product of nuclear energy is? It is not water or hydrogen ( that is the waste product in nuclear fusion, which is not harvested by man yet) but more Uranium or Thorium, which ever the plant uses. The energy it produces is more powerful and cleaner that thermal plants but the waste it leaves is one we cannot dispose of and is extremely toxic to us and the planet. What we need is a cleansing, a plague to wipe out a huge number of the population and better family planning ideologies to safeguard this planet if not, there will be no planet for the next generation to care about.
***** GMO's produce seeds, yes, but so do all other plants. The traits they exibit are designed for human benefit, and don't do much otherwise. The plants existing may help reduce pollution and produce oxygen, but no more so than if we used pure, unmodifed plants.

@@AnonYmous-ob7py I know what u mean... and since we are actually living in difficult times right now, i think that we need to cheer up and to remember that simple things like a song can make people get together just to share a couple of minutes of peace or make us think a little of whats going on
Sadly its just some shitty Rap they didnt even write and ordered an songwriter. Most doesnt even play an instrument and for me thats when the music begins, not letting produce a sing and rap about thug beeing and drugs, etc. No, Rap is no music for me. This is music.
8 fucking years ago. 8 Years ago this was made and N O T H I N G has changed for the good. More extinction, more death, more... suffering in every way :\
Most of the things are false though. We are doing extremely well right now (with the exception of global warming but I will get to that). On basically every metric we are doing better than ever before. There is less crime, less infant death, less disease, less wars, when there are wars less people die, less murder, less stealing, more rights across the globe, less people living in poverty, less starvation, less malnutrition, etc, etc. You can essentially pick anything and it's better today than ever before. If you had to pick a time to be born, right now would be the absolute best choice hands down. The only thing getting worse is climate change and our energy use. It's absolutely important and the most important thing in the world right now to switch from fossil fuels ot anything else be it nuclear or wind or sun or whatever. This video has a lot of things wrong; GMO's arent an issue at all, radiation is not an issue at all, wars were definitely fought way before 2925 BC heck Chimpanzees wage multi year wars (pretty brutal wars too btw). I absolutely love this song and it's brilliant as fuck but I feel like the message is a bit misdirected. Yes there are problems that need solving but we humans are pretty good at solving issues. When we found out that CFC's were causing the ozone-layer to get fucked up we globally decided to ban the practice and we were mostly succesful, succesful enough that the ozone-layer is healing. When we found out lead fuel was causing disease world wide, we put a stop to leaded fuel. Humanity is continually making progress and defeatist attitudes like this don't help.
I've watched this awesome music video several times, but i can't resist to fall may tears in my eyes ..again and again, Mr. serj tankian is a Genius Musician i ever know.
***** Yes I do, but it's a sweeping judgement to make that I party every weekend or even own a smartphone etc. There isn't a single meaning to the song anyway - It's open to interpretation :)
***** actually you weren't listening either if you really want to open your mouth about it. It's not critical of capitalism, but people in general. To think you or Daniel Kremecek have any room to judge a simple honest statement and a beautiful girl is just sad.
Discovering System of a Down was a blessing and a curse at the same time, because now I can see more clearly what we have done. You are an amazing artist, singer, compositor, etc., Serj. Your music is one of the most beautiful I have ever listened to ❤

When I was 18-23 years old, I loved to go to pubs during week-end nights, getting pissed and what not. At that age, there was a "war" between emos, rockers etc. They were fighting over music tastes. Not fighting like hitting each other, more like.. arguing about what and why their music taste is better. Sound really silly to me now, but we were young and those were the times. I showed up once with a SOAD T-Shirt and I was the only one that nobody picked on. They all realized that no matter what your taste of music is, you cannot hate SOAD or Serj. Therefore, you already united us, Serj, with your music. Cheers from Romania.
In two concerts i remember vividly, one for A day to remembers 15 year anniversary tour and an August burns red tour with erra and born of osiris ( the two shows heavily contrasting in metal styles ) and between bands playing there was a case where a SOAD song played and the whole venue and hall was singing the song together. It was the most pure thing, and it gives me chills just typing it.
People with real musical talent don't get recognized in this generation now, it's all about autotune and singing about the days of the fucking week or bragging about how much money and bitches they get, this generation is completely fucked.
That's what I'm saying! Now people who like Serj, and similar artists/bands with meaning are a dying breed, but I don't care my loyalty is to Serj. I've been one of his fans for 6 years which may not sound impressive to most but I'm 15 so yeah a good portion of my life I've supported this musical genius!
I am a Turk and I overcome the hatred of each other race's(Turks and Armenians) and I love Serj and his songs. He maybe the reason I won't be a racist anymore for 6 years at least.
Songs that open your eyes are getting only few million views. Meanwhile songs about sex, drugs and party are getting 400 000 000 views. This world is fucked up.
No one wants to hear that things are going catastrophically wrong. They want to hear about wealth, pleasure and raunch. But see, it's okay, because those few million viewers would be enough to change the world. That's more than a standing army's worth of folks. So, in the end it's not about if the video has tons of views, it's if the viewers have the will to act.
There are no words. Nothing. Only an empty and bitter silence, you already said it all. Now, is time to do. Our best, in small actions, everyday as one. Thank you. ❤

Two great quotes from this video.
-"The future will view all history as a crime."
-"Man is fully responsible for his nature and his choices."
Not sure if we are fully responsible for our nature and choices.

LYRICS:
We're the day birds
Deciding to fly against the sky
Within our dreams, we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born to die
We're the greying herds
Hurting each other with our lives
Within our dreams, we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born to die
Born to die, born to die
The drum fish
They beached themselves in Hara-kiri
The blackbirds
They fell in thousands from the sky
Their red wings
Streaming down from the higher seas
Deflected by the grounds
They crowned the sun
They crowned the sun
But I believe that they are free
When their time was done
They were drowned by the only One
But I believe that they are free
Washed by the sun
Our statues
The soaring edifice of our times
Detracted from the ways of the wise
The future will view all history as a crime
So father, tell us when is time to rise
They crowned the sun
They crowned the sun
But I believe that they are free
When their time was done
They were drowned by the only One
But I believe that they are free
They crowned the sun
They crowned the sun
But I believe that they are free
And we believe that they are free
'Cause I believe that they are me

Serg is a flat out genius, both in talent and direction IMO, there'll NEVER be another vocalist such as he.
Now, this song holds very important message.
Explain to me, If that everything benefits the planet, then why are so many animals dying?
GMO's aren't going to help us reverse global warming, nor do we know the potential long term effects of them. Human nature is the real culprit in destruction, but we used technology to destroy the world. Now we're trying to save it with technology.
***** I do understand your point. Technology is simply the tool of human self destruction - still, a part of me wishes that there could be a day when humans will revert to the olden ways of living - although my philosophy is only applicable if we existed in a world with a gross population of
+Isaac Baranoff GMOs are not trees that help in the maintenance of the oxygen concentration in the planet. They are made to grow fast a d be harvested faster than normals vegetables will. The basic genetic makeup if the paint has be altered to make it immune to pests and increase yield. Although I don't agree with it, it is the only solution to the food crisis going on in the world. The main cause of all problems is the rising population. Too many human beings are spread on this earth like cancer and eating the planet away to the extant that it cannot repair itself in time. Also about your idea on nuclear power, do you what the waste product of nuclear energy is? It is not water or hydrogen ( that is the waste product in nuclear fusion, which is not harvested by man yet) but more Uranium or Thorium, which ever the plant uses. The energy it produces is more powerful and cleaner that thermal plants but the waste it leaves is one we cannot dispose of and is extremely toxic to us and the planet. What we need is a cleansing, a plague to wipe out a huge number of the population and better family planning ideologies to safeguard this planet if not, there will be no planet for the next generation to care about.
***** GMO's produce seeds, yes, but so do all other plants. The traits they exibit are designed for human benefit, and don't do much otherwise. The plants existing may help reduce pollution and produce oxygen, but no more so than if we used pure, unmodifed plants.
This song should be number one in the whole world...specially these days.

Agreed. Please also have a listen to New Zealand band Tripzville and their track "the Nikola Tesla song" ua-cam.com/video/5aQBLMlATXo/v-deo.html
You missed it
Most of the things are false though. We are doing extremely well right now (with the exception of global warming but I will get to that). On basically every metric we are doing better than ever before. There is less crime, less infant death, less disease, less wars, when there are wars less people die, less murder, less stealing, more rights across the globe, less people living in poverty, less starvation, less malnutrition, etc, etc. You can essentially pick anything and it's better today than ever before. If you had to pick a time to be born, right now would be the absolute best choice hands down.
The only thing getting worse is climate change and our energy use. It's absolutely important and the most important thing in the world right now to switch from fossil fuels ot anything else be it nuclear or wind or sun or whatever. This video has a lot of things wrong; GMO's arent an issue at all, radiation is not an issue at all, wars were definitely fought way before 2925 BC heck Chimpanzees wage multi year wars (pretty brutal wars too btw).
I absolutely love this song and it's brilliant as fuck but I feel like the message is a bit misdirected. Yes there are problems that need solving but we humans are pretty good at solving issues. When we found out that CFC's were causing the ozone-layer to get fucked up we globally decided to ban the practice and we were mostly succesful, succesful enough that the ozone-layer is healing. When we found out lead fuel was causing disease world wide, we put a stop to leaded fuel. Humanity is continually making progress and defeatist attitudes like this don't help.

ヤズロシ
😭😭😭
When I was 18-23 years old, I loved to go to pubs during week-end nights, getting pissed and what not.
At that age, there was a "war" between emos, rockers etc. They were fighting over music tastes. Not fighting like hitting each other, more like.. arguing about what and why their music taste is better. Sound really silly to me now, but we were young and those were the times. I showed up once with a SOAD T-Shirt and I was the only one that nobody picked on. They all realized that no matter what your taste of music is, you cannot hate SOAD or Serj.
Therefore, you already united us, Serj, with your music. Cheers from Romania.
In two concerts i remember vividly, one for A day to remembers 15 year anniversary tour and an August burns red tour with erra and born of osiris ( the two shows heavily contrasting in metal styles ) and between bands playing there was a case where a SOAD song played and the whole venue and hall was singing the song together. It was the most pure thing, and it gives me chills just typing it.
Ahh a fellow veteran of the emo wars I see.
Fantastic job, Serj. Thanks from Brazil.
Спасибо. Очень тронуло..
He is areal genius,, sigh.. i hope he got more recognition, multi talent, multi instrumentalist, poet, record producer, etc...... damn this pop era..
People with real musical talent don't get recognized in this generation now, it's all about autotune and singing about the days of the fucking week or bragging about how much money and bitches they get, this generation is completely fucked.
That's what I'm saying! Now people who like Serj, and similar artists/bands with meaning are a dying breed, but I don't care my loyalty is to Serj. I've been one of his fans for 6 years which may not sound impressive to most but I'm 15 so yeah a good portion of my life I've supported this musical genius!
Serj tankians produces such amazing music with lyrics that mean something.
It's so upsetting that most people won't even give this a chance because it isn't something that would be in the "charts"
Just hearing him sing the truth is just enough to one day bring peace to the world.
Serj Tankian is amazing!!! Nice Sarte quote, timeless
Wow! Armenian are lucky to have you Serj as ambassador.

Songs that open your eyes are getting only few million views. Meanwhile songs about sex, drugs and party are getting 400 000 000 views. This world is fucked up.
Has nothing to do with the "world" it is the human race alone that is fucked up. Little human-zees. :(
exactly man
No one wants to hear that things are going catastrophically wrong. They want to hear about wealth, pleasure and raunch. But see, it's okay, because those few million viewers would be enough to change the world. That's more than a standing army's worth of folks. So, in the end it's not about if the video has tons of views, it's if the viewers have the will to act.
it may also be in part due to the fact that the song sucks.

This song and these visuals are so actual and current with the I-P conflict going on. What a timeles body of work.
There are no words. Nothing. Only an empty and bitter silence, you already said it all. Now, is time to do. Our best, in small actions, everyday as one. Thank you. ❤
