Dropped the lyrics of a verse, then had to explain where it came from. Linked that song, then linked that song in its playlist, because now I'm stuck listening through the rest. Concept albums which hit on every track are transcendent, and this damn album is unquestionably my favorite, I can't help it.
I used to listen to this song as a teenager and kinda forgot about it...I was listening to something unrelated over spotify, but when the didgeridoo started I was shocked! Damn it felt like being 16 again
I had same experience . This was the song I remembered vaguely but I couldn’t remember the band name at all. Then just now the letter A pops in my head … and then Ayreon. I’m like wtf . I too was Around 15/16 when I heard this
I never really appreciated his parts back when I listened to this album as a teen Sigh... I really wish more people were into good metal. Athens stuff is real.
@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz Wait, Devin Townsend and Mikael Akerfeldt are both on this album too?! I never realized that all of my favorite musicians are all on the same album together!
This song means a lot to me, first song i heard from Arjen when i was in high school, its so cool that your favourite artist is so friendly and he answers all your birthday messages, I am honored to have a photo with him
@@berkinoflaz6534 hepimiz burada olabildiğimiz için çok şanslıyız :) daha önce keşfedemediğim için yakındığım bir adam bu arjen. Çok efsane biri yahu...
It was my first experience with Arjens music too and the first experience with progressive music of that scale. I gotta be honest i hated it the first time. But it stuck in my head and about a week later i listened to it again and again trying to understand the complexity and i've been a fan ever since.
This is the album version, in the single edition Peter Vink is replacing Lucassen as bass guitarist while Joost van den Broek is featured as a second keyboardist;. The most notable difference is the substitution of the original Hammond solo by Ken Hensley to a duel between Lucassen and Van den Broek at 2:32 (here present). You better listen to this one.
The circumstances may be different, but this is one of those songs I can relate to a lot in terms of hearing the echo of an abusive parent whenever I feel like I've screwed up, and then the defiant anger that also bubbles up to the surface when I'm sick of putting myself down. This song really paints a picture in that respect. And even if I didn't relate to the lyrics, the song as simply a song is very catchy and well-written.
When I was listening to this at 15 I was living with an alcoholic step father, very relatable , you described it well, especially the end , the defiant fuck you at the end
I was playing keyboards in my first rock band when my vocalist lent me this album to listen to - changed my life, and Ken Hensley's solo in particular on this track just blew my mind and inspired me. This is probably in my top ten Hammond solos of all time - right up there with all the great Deep Purple stuff by Jon Lord and Don Airey!
A song that evokes such raw emotion and the lyrics, while simple, invoke such a narrative that many of us have felt at times. Ayreon just has a way of doing things just enough to make things come across so raw and beautiful.

After 12 years of listnening of this author (and I mean all of their albums) i still return to their songs! Not every Alternative Rock band can tell something like that about their fans...I think that The human equation was their masterpiece, but other albums are also very hard to forget...
Portuguese lyrics Dia 16 - Fracassado [Pai] Olhe para você, deitado aí, indefeso e sozinho Veja eu não sou tolo, eu sempre soube que não conseguiria sozinho Porque você é como sua mãe, bem, onde ela está agora? Você logo vai acabar como ela, a 7 palmos do chão, fracassado Eu vim aqui para vê-lo sangrar, ah como adoro ver Se você tivesse coragem, me pegaria pela garganta Você nem se parece comigo, ha! Nem perto Você é uma aberração, algum esquisito, eu suponho, fracassado Já tive minha diversão, agora vou voltar para onde não chamo de lar Não há ninguém lá me esperando, mas você não vai me ver choramingar Minhas ex-esposas me processam, e com metade de meus filhos presos Eu ainda saio dando risada, por que? Eu nunca falho, fracassado! [Ira] Nunca! Nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca Você está matando de longe, vá contar num bar Você está matando de longe meu pai
master piece... I'm listening this and remembering how awesome ayreon is!!! Arjen is a genius and Devin is the most perfect eclectic singer ever, he can do anything with his voice! amazing work!
How did i even miss this album ? Always knew Ayreon, had the Universal Migrator for ages, been a fan of Devin Townsend for ages and i discover this album and this gem of a song only now ? What is wrong with me ? Oo
I have to be dense, because I've listened to this song many times, yet just now I got unsure if this is his father literally coming to his bedside to mock him, or if it's just the mental construct in his mind.
That's actually not dense at all. The fact that the father might not even be really there, just a creation of his mind, like the Emotions, has never before occurred to me, and I absolutely love it.
I've listened to this album as a whole a few times now and I've never imagined it where it was actually his father at his bedside; I always imagined it as being in his head
As a child of an abusive parent, it's easy for me to interpret this is a memory of his father mocking him for real, or at least an imagined instance of something that really did happen to him on a regular basis as a child. My mother had a habit of spending hours into the night drunk outside of my locked bedroom door yelling about how awful I was.
In the stage show The Theater Equation, the father does show up at the hospital, but I also like the interpretation of him being part of the main character's imagination : )
In the behind the scenes for this album, Arjen mentioned how he and Mike Baker, where really big fans of Alice Cooper, and they tried to have that vibe in this song ;)
Has this been used in a film, or tv show? It's really bugging me that I've heard it associated with a chase scene or something, but I can't find anything about it.
Along time ago it was used in a little short film with a little animated little ninja looking guy I don’t know how to explain it but basically it’s a little animated short that was made when I was a teenager so it’s been a long time ago but that was where I first heard this song.
It's the protagonist calling out how horrible his father is. "Killing it" is a phrase associated with doing well, but the protagonist says it sarcastically. "You're doing a good job raising me from that bar, father."
Arjen is brilliant composer and this song although not awful, is stupidest in whole Ayreon discography. Why it became so famous beside all the other incredible masterpieces by Ayreon ? Some of them from same album as this average creation
The last minute of the song is just perfect. In fact, the whole album is. Love listening to it for almost 20 years.

Hard vibes
Same boat!
What parts is he on may i ask
I had same experience . This was the song I remembered vaguely but I couldn’t remember the band name at all. Then just now the letter A pops in my head … and then Ayreon. I’m like wtf . I too was Around 15/16 when I heard this
Devin Townsend really amplifies every track he is in on this album. He did a phenomenal job as Rage.
Probably why Pain has always been my favourite.
I never really appreciated his parts back when I listened to this album as a teen Sigh... I really wish more people were into good metal. Athens stuff is real.
Ive been listening to both since I was a kid, never realized he was in this song!
I can't get over Akerfeldt's performance as Fear.
@@IvanIvanov-qx5oz Wait, Devin Townsend and Mikael Akerfeldt are both on this album too?! I never realized that all of my favorite musicians are all on the same album together!

How many times I listen to it, every time have
goosebumps because of Rage. Amasing!
Only Arjen could take didgeridoo, violins and flute and create the ultimate child abuse theme.
Exactly my dear friend.
LMAO This comment absolutely killed me
R.I.P. Ken Hensley of Uriah Heep fame, Hammond player on this track
men taht's too bad
Awesome Hammond playing 😍

And the singer. RIP Mike Baker.
This song has the perfect emotional build up on so many levels. Another gem on this perfect album. :)
When he says never, I hear devil!!! Its not too far from what he’s trying to depict! So incredibly powerful! ❤️

In my listening mind head dark soul, propably the heaviest Ayreon song. 🤘 🙏

That's a very Uriah Heep sounding solo, i never realised it's Ken Hensley
That Hammond solo has to be my favorite solo on any Ayreon album; so good.
Agreed Aaron, Ken Hensley rules! Check out Uriah Heep (Gypsy - live), you won't regret it :-)
I will, thanks!
You can't agree about songs from your own music that you like some part of your music... well... technically you can... but that's not the point
Sergey Sedlovsky You can't tell Arjen Lucassen what to do
...he is freaking Arjen Lucassen ;)
That's the main reason I listen to this song @Arjen @Aaron Walton
Just complete awesomeness in 1 song.
Devin Townsend is so great in this album. Like, dang.
Mi favorita de Ayreon!!
I am an Ayreon Fan from the beginning. I love each and every song from this Genius Aryen Lucassen, but LOSER is definitely his masterpiece!!!
A song that evokes such raw emotion and the lyrics, while simple, invoke such a narrative that many of us have felt at times. Ayreon just has a way of doing things just enough to make things come across so raw and beautiful.
Devin is also a great pick for "Rage". The sheer direct brutality doesn't leave any doubt what it's about.
The villain song for the movie that never existed. AWESOME!

Holy shit that screams are so intense and agressive so awesome
Portuguese lyrics
Dia 16 - Fracassado
[Pai]
Olhe para você, deitado aí, indefeso e sozinho
Veja eu não sou tolo, eu sempre soube que não conseguiria sozinho
Porque você é como sua mãe, bem, onde ela está agora?
Você logo vai acabar como ela, a 7 palmos do chão, fracassado
Eu vim aqui para vê-lo sangrar, ah como adoro ver
Se você tivesse coragem, me pegaria pela garganta
Você nem se parece comigo, ha! Nem perto
Você é uma aberração, algum esquisito, eu suponho, fracassado
Já tive minha diversão, agora vou voltar para onde não chamo de lar
Não há ninguém lá me esperando, mas você não vai me ver choramingar
Minhas ex-esposas me processam, e com metade de meus filhos presos
Eu ainda saio dando risada, por que? Eu nunca falho, fracassado!
[Ira]
Nunca! Nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca! nunca
Você está matando de longe, vá contar num bar
Você está matando de longe meu pai
Fav piece in this album
also day eleven is great too xd
Everytime I feel kind of angry I remember of this song. Human equation was an album really emotional
really, really...
master piece... I'm listening this and remembering how awesome ayreon is!!! Arjen is a genius and Devin is the most perfect eclectic singer ever, he can do anything with his voice! amazing work!
What an awesome song. Nice and raw. I'm going to look up more songs from Ayreon!
I'd love it if you could make a loop of the last minute of the song especially the screams that would be amazing
How did i even miss this album ? Always knew Ayreon, had the Universal Migrator for ages, been a fan of Devin Townsend for ages and i discover this album and this gem of a song only now ?
What is wrong with me ? Oo
wtf is wrong with you actually
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are extremely unlucky. :)
If you’re a true fan, you don’t miss an artist’s release. 😜😉
fs dude
F
Every time i listen it ( and i listend it every day over 12 years) it gives me a chills! Great album!
You created the perfect song to dedicate to my father, I love you all
if I were the villain of a musical this definitely would be my song!
Love this song!
Didgeridoos, Mike, Ken, perfection. 4 words to describe this song.
Man this is perfection

This is my favorite from this album 🤘
So epic!
wow this its really amazing
Chingon me cae que si.....!!!!!
Loser is awesome!
Middle part of the song somehow reminds of Alice Cooper. Just plain awesome.
In the behind the scenes for this album, Arjen mentioned how he and Mike Baker, where really big fans of Alice Cooper, and they tried to have that vibe in this song ;)
RIP Mike Baker
LOSER!!!
1:51
2:33
4:14
Just a couple more comments after this one for them to equal the track number, unless you’re looking at Theater Equation.
Arjen, you are truly a master of your craft. I've been enjoying your music for 20 years. Cheers! -Pete
Rage 🖤🌿
omg
I miss baker :(
Baker had better voice for creepy-comic parts than Mike Mills nowadays.
Fucking awesome.
Gee nice dad we have here.
Dad music best music
Always thought daddy was being his worst self on purpose, to provoke a reaction, but maybe he's just that much of a dick

I doubt that helps but anyways...
What is that kind of drum beat called? The one with the main riff and with the violins. It sounds so fun!
2004?!?
This is exactly how the mean voices in my head sound like...
Mike Baker !!!
Wowowowowowowowowowowowowow
Arjen is my favorite... God
Devin Townsend write 3 song whit Lucassen and this one is the best
Hi! Can somebody help me? What does "Killing it from afar" means at the end of the song? Thank you!
It's the protagonist calling out how horrible his father is. "Killing it" is a phrase associated with doing well, but the protagonist says it sarcastically. "You're doing a good job raising me from that bar, father."
*Relation.*
Lyrics kinda reminds me of the abrigde version of the relationsship between Vegeta and Trunks
Ken Hensley Hammond roar!
damn! as i said go for metal
Absoluuttinen bängeri 5/5
Mr. Arjen Antony Lucassen pls come to Ukraine! (dreams -_-)
Shidori
Who the fuck boasts about their son not looking like them.
Then again, who in the everloving memory of Migrator names their son Me.
22 éves lány vagyok. Nagyon ciki?
You're not a loser when you realise that it has been exactly 1 year since this video was uploaded!
Wtf is very strange, it seems like a rush song combined with metal
Singer sounds like Andi Deris from Helloween.
Arjen is brilliant composer and this song although not awful, is stupidest in whole Ayreon discography. Why it became so famous beside all the other incredible masterpieces by Ayreon ?
Some of them from same album as this average creation
Swagger. Attitude.
Who asked you?
Why? Because this is f*cking badass!
It's not stupid, it's agressive
I'm fucking scared
