There is a woman whose voice graces the beginning of this track. I saw her twice. The first time was on East Hastings, right outside of the Army & Navy store on Hastings, possibly where she was recorded. The second time was while riding the bus up Robson from the west end.
I'm some kid from Omaha, NE, USA, but was a graduate student at SFU then. Good times.
I remember hearing her voice, then looking and her, and then recognizing.
I cannot possibly express the feeling I have in my heart for the wonder of Vancouver during that time.
That was almost 20 years ago.
I'd forgotten I wrote that, and was surprised to see my own words. Upon seeing them, I thought I should write to provide more context. I'm originally from Nebraska, a long way away from where I heard her. But I moved to Vancouver in the early aughts. It was a mesmerizing time for me there. Very spiritual. I have a memory (and hope always to have it) of standing alone on the Lion's Gate Bridge very late at night watching the evergreens in Stanley Park sway in the smoke during a winter rain storm. Many memories of Stanley Park and Siwash rock, but that one stands out. Anyway, shortly after I moved there, I was down on Hastings and heard her voice -- like I said, outside of the Army and Navy. I was a big fan of Godspeed then (still am), and felt this shock of recognition. I looked up, and there she was, preaching away to anyone who would hear her. I don't know why I didn't approach her, but I didn't. I remember commenting upon my celebrity sighting to my friend Graeme (hi, Graeme!), and he laughed and said, "Well, the song's called East Hastings." But to me, for whatever reason, it was a big deal. Still is. Also, a shout-out to Godspeed. Thank you for your music. You all are wonderful.
Wow human life is so weirdly sad and great at the same time
Yeah, the elderly woman’s voice at the beginning: in the 90’s I regularly would see exactly this lady on East Hastings. She would be seated in a fold out chair chiming her hope into this bleak neighborhood. I would usually stop to admire her, and enjoy the soundscape against her melodic bellows. I seem to remember her in a lavender/pink sunday-best outfit with white gloves. Was so elated when when I first discovered her voice sample preserved in this music piece; Makes it a Double Treasure. - and I’m with you on how it can take you back!
@@malaikamillions Yes, distinctive voice. But it was more than that, wasn't it? Wasn't it her entire presence?
Holy shit. I had no idea.
Thanks for giving me a newfound appreciation for this.
I am in Milano, on the 6th floor of apartment building, watching how army vehicles patrols the streets and whole city is on lock-down, schools are closed, shops are closed, streets are empty, you can barely see anyone walking.
This song makes it even more depressing
keep calm brother everything will pass from turkey
The man in the long black coat stay strong this too will pass
The times are depressing.. hold on, hang on
Hang in there everyone..
Stay safe, dont let anyone control you after all this is over. God bless.
This whole album needs to be played during a long long walk in the most desolate places you could ever imagine
Bohouha :(
I literally just did that on holiday recently. I went to Fuerteventura where I climbed a mountain on my own with this song playing. No one around for miles. It was great.
every time i listen to gybe i see and feel post-apocalyplse. desolate, cold, silent, yet so beautiful

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."
Please I really enjoyed reading this. But can you explain?
@@Uruguay182 It's from Nietzsche's book "Beyond good and Evil" and the gist of the quote is that if you spend your time in conflict with something horrible you might become just as horrible.
@@slimywater9945 Thank you very much. I found it really interesting.
: )
I really wish I would've taken this quote seriously when I was younger. I didn't understand the significance of it.
Stop staring, stop focusing on negative, go live your life. Your mind can be a prison, or a tool to do great things. Don't let it be your prison. It is living hell, every day.
I live near East Hastings in Vancouver, and this song perfectly captures the hopelessness and desperation of those lost souls wandering the streets, like ghosts. Some cry out for help, others are so far gone they don't want to be saved. People drive through the area, on their way to the glitzy nightclubs downtown, lock their car doors, and scoff at the poverty-stricken, the sick, the disabled. Others turn their heads, avoid eye contact, and pretend that they don't exist. Walking down that street is just heartbreaking. A frightening reminder of a world that each one of us could so easily find ourselves living in some day.
"...those lost souls wandering the streets..." Yeah, and if the modern-day Sanhedrin get their way, we'll *all* be joining those on the streets soon enough.Scoff if you will... Most can't even *begin* to grasp what is happening in this World. Nor do they want to. It's just too terrifying. Many of those on the streets have already figured out that playing the usual scripted part on the big global usury farm, locked in a stall beside the rest of their feckless brethren cattle -- is absolutely and completely FUTILE... Just further contributing to the death of humanity [as intended by the dregs who have always desired that fate.]
I played a gig at a dive bar in East Hastings once. It certainly is rough there, humbling. Sometimes there is a fine line between being on point and just letting go. Many suffer in silence and alone before it ever gets to the point of living on the streets...
damn this is deep
This is not what the human experience should be :(
Deep yet horiffying to hear something like that
I listened to this song on a really long late-night bicycle ride. There's loads of historical landmarks close to my house; five ruined castles, ancient burial mounds, prehistoric forts, abandoned medieval villages, and a Roman road that cuts perfectly straight through the countryside for endless miles.
History has been a passion for me since the age of 5, but this time... it was something else.
Going past the scattered remnants of long-gone cultures listening to this doomy track ironically made the past feel more alive and present that ever before.
Riding down those same paths that have been tread by nameless masses over thousands of years in the dead of night brings out something primal and empathetic that has to be experienced with an understanding of just how catastrophic and horrifying that things like disease and war meant to our ancestors. To us, the Coronavirus means a temporary economic turndown with the odd pensioner not making it through; to them, the plague meant half your family dead within a week at the hands of some unseen force that only needs close proximity to spread.
For us, war is just grainy WW2 footage; for them, war meant being sent off to a far-off land to kill or be killed, if you weren't one of the lucky ones to avoid conscription.
But after all those countless apocalyptic ordeals, here we are now instantly communicating with each other across the world from the warmth of our homes.
And one day we too will all be dead, and our houses too will become nothing more than a stump of old bricks and gravel, maybe the odd broken lighter and crushed can waiting under the dirt to be found by our 40x great-grandchildren.
Let's enjoy our time while it's still ours to enjoy, because it can always become as dark and dangerous as it was in the past.
Brother if I write a song this is what it will be about, my guy
Fam there is no such thing as a “prehistoric fort” lmao what year are you living in 263 bc

"It started as rioting. But right from the beginning you knew this was different..."

How its terrifying?
It’s life.
Suffering
Experience
Understanding

I don't have all of those, but I hear it in this. My god. This music is making me feel so many things.
I remember why I wanted to go. I still do. But now, I have some purpose. I have people that I love, and that I want to make happy.
But that call of the void? I don't think that will ever go away. The comforting nature of depression is horrifying. It lulls you in, until you realize you're trapped in hell.
Avoid.
@@ZeranZeran just walk when you feel empty. Let the musical notes basic bounce in you head . Stand somewhere filled and listen to the empty in you. With that said this is a great, unique, and powerful piece that haunts the concept of basic rhythm in my head 9 outta 10 would recommend. Straight banger
A glimpse into the abyss
Beginning at 8:20 reminds me of how riots start.
Riots are really a form of a natural disaster. You have to have the right conditions for them to start. You really need a prolonged period of high heat, unemployment, and an undercurrent of political and social resentment. Then you just need a spark. It can be anything really, a police shooting, a hit-and-run, an unpopular court decision, but it starts out with grumbles and murmurs of a few, and it builds, more people say the same thing, louder, and it draws in more people until the voices turn to acts, and then the acts bring in more people to act, and once a breaking point is realized, when the crowd realizes the police can't arrest them all, you have a full blown riot.
or a sports team from your town that you don't play on, won the championship
Riots are psy ops.
I really like how this was written. There's a part of me that's always wanted to be in a riot. The current climate of unrest and general level of societal tension where i live and many more places just like it seem to fit your criteria fairly well. Someone just has to strike the match and itll all go up in flames.
This bout to go down in Brazil just watch
@@richardperry1334 I can tell you're a pampered and sheltered individual. Riots are an act of desperation, anyone living in the conditions that lead to rioting just wants a way out of hell. You've got it so easy you don't even know what hard is to begin with.
Living in a third world country in a middle of a crisis where you can barely eat makes this song more terrifying than it is
Venezuela?
hejeval777 yes
Moisés Daniel Lo supe, yo soy de Chile, mucha fuerza hermano!
Your comment was strong and sad, how are you now, my friend ?
hope u are ok friend
I can honestly say that this piece has managed to perfectly represent what it feels like to evolve from depression and anxiety into gradual paranoia and crisis. Listening to this in bed brought a cycle of emotions that I hadnt felt in quite some time. The beginning feels sad but still somewhat hopeful, fading into pure loneliness and desperation, eventually giving way to the anxiety and paranoia of uncertainty, which builds up more and more with the tempo of the song, until it all finally drops out and youre essentially left lost. Then those feelings of fear creep back in, lending itself to scary thoughts that dont seem to be your own. This was an incredible experience to listen to.
Yeah I just went through that scary transition recently. Like all of a sudden you’re not a teenager anymore and the void starts to grip you harder and harder until you submit
That's been the last 4-5 years of my life.
I don't want to die, but the older I get, the more I see it coming. And not at a natural time for most. But I see it. I hear it. I feel it.
I hope that I can do the most for my loved ones while I'm here. They deserve better.
i hope you all are doing well right now, i've been struggling with life lately too

Disagree. This song is the shining light in darkness, last beacon of hope among the Last Men.
The sad mafioso part is some of this band’s best work by far
Drugs in Tokyo takes the cake for me, Ik it isn’t as complex but god I can’t describe how amazing that part is, it’s unreal.
@@thesupplement5214 what did you think of states end? It honestly felt kinda weak and less dramatic to me kinda like luciferan towers
The cello coming on near the start of the buildup of the sad mafioso really fucks me up. Hope in hopelessness. Righteous vengeance. I can't describe it lol
And Danny Boyle knew it damn well! 😂😂😂
east Hastings is a part of Vancouver that is totally deprived,a magnet for the outcasts of the city,it has a big homeless population and is a hangout for drug addicts , mainly heroin users,a truly depressed and depressing area.
Thanks, I didn't know that. I wondered what the name of the song means.
It's also where their studio was I think
+Violet Raven the original Hastings in the UK is a shitty place. The government cleared out all the problem people to seaside resorts cos of the empty space in b and bs cos foreign holidays are cheaper for Brits.
+Grief Prophecy - pockets of depravity exist nearly everywhere
It's a pity that drug addicts dont get paid in Canada.
no song on earth has ever elicited such a visceral reaction in me. i was driving to work on an overcast morning listening to this, and as the pace was picking up towards the end of the sad mafioso i was moving quickly on a four lane freeway with cars all around me. i felt such an intense panic and fear rise in me as the song quickened and quickened, like i was fleeing some beast. as it burst into the depths of drugs in tokyo i was entering the town where i worked. the fear and panic morphed into such a primeval terror as the song finished through black helicopter. the things i was seeing, gas stations, strip malls, streetlamps, storm sirens, substations, seemed sentient - baleful and leering. there was a letter sign out front of a church that read “pray for our city,” as social unrest was still in the news.
seeing that message as the song reached peak madness in it’s final moments sent me over the edge. a pair of completely identical pickup trucks pulled up to an intersection i had stopped at - in hindsight it’s a pretty mundane occurrence but seeing double identical images in the state i was in was too much. i thought i was either going insane or reality was coming apart before my eyes.
i had to pull over and stop for about 15 minutes after the song finally ended to regain a semblance of composure
i’ve never had a song do that to me before. it shifted my entire perception of reality in real time.
i still get the shudders thinking about it.
I see myself as a decently resilient person but that would just completely mess me up.
Brilliantly delivered. Well done.
The NWO pisses off the ones awake, this masterpiece of music represents the desolation of a world that gone insane, but out there theirs other beings that are surviving where they don’t want to be found.
So dramatic.
@@emilkubie mate what are you on about? New world order bullshit?
The ending with good headphones is terrifying yet amazing
It reminds me of death. Becoming one woth life - meeting all the lifeforms, even those extinc and physically merging with them. Then merging with dirt, rocks, the planet and finally becoming one with the whole universe.
This album is incredibly dark, depressing, but the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Mind shredding horror to the most beautiful symphony. The atmosphere is just oozing with existential dread. Only I could dream of making music as authentic as this.
Not depressing at all.

The melodies in this song are some of the most simple yet effective motifs I have ever heard. A masterpiece in how dynamics can make a song as opposed to melodic or harmonic progression.
Yeah i like what you just said (a year later) the dynamics of the melody itself hold such a pure mysticysm it creates all that dead space for the atmosphere i looooove how the riffs somehow dont tire me out
@Skelter cool man you probably have wayyyy too much of a refined taste to enjoy a nice conversation i used to be like that
@Steve Knight why call someone a twat for speaking about something they like though? Like yes i get the initial "wow this sounds dumb" but idk bud keep listening to ur rush and king crimson ill keep talking to people who enjoy talking 😅
Not using vocabulary because it seems too meta for someone as cool as you just puts everyone else in a bad mood, im sure youll learn that soon
I know im probably beating a dead horse at this point but like you become the twat for calling other people twats for their taste, like how i used to make fun of people who listen to rap, maybe you find yourself doing that too
I’m going to play this when my area goes under quarantine for true pandemic immersion

about a year ago I started listening to this and never forgot one comment here. to the person who lost their friend when they took their life to this song, I am sorry, I think about that often when I listen to this song.
oi
That reverb that sweeps in around 11:00 always gave me chills.
met the lady in the beginning of this. she'd sit in her chair on hastings street and preach all day.
+abba zabba Isn't she the one by Hastings and Carrall? Maybe not anymore, that corner's been cleared out a bit in recent years. Ever since The Cage got shut down for good.
+DougglesMagnificent Anyway I think she's Haitian? I ignored the fuck out of any of the preaching nuts on E. H. especially when I was focussed on getting something in me.
+DougglesMagnificent nah that's pigeon park. this is the next block going towards downtown. outside the long gone woodwards building. she had a pet duck with her.
this is recorded outside the woodwards department store on east hastings street downtown vancouver... i tried googling her up to see if there were pictures of her but coudlnt find her. i mixed her up with another old lady who used to walk around down there with her pet duck. the lady in east hastings was a black lady who would just yell like that sitting on a folded chair... people seemed scared and irritated by her i just smiled at her and she'd smile back.
oh yeah so to answer your question she was probably out there for all of the 90s maybe earlier. they'd since torn down most of the woodwards building and the only part that's left is the corner of the building she'd sit. next to the bus stop.
Next time a big thunder storm rolls through your area, put this on. It's the most apocalyptic thing I've ever experienced.
Dani Jones nice
Just found it while a storm is hitting here in Texas. I’m loving it.
My friend and I drove through a blizzard with this album on. The whether waxed and waned with the crescendos and decrescendos...

The last part of this song made me so physically uncomfortable and I love it. The combination of the high pitched buzzing and the sounds either suddenly popping up right next to me or slowly approaching, like something's after me... God. The embodiment of dread. It's not often music's able to pull up emotion like this

Now it's even cooler with the new youtube feature.
It's one of those nights. The abyss is encroaching.
It's 00:20 AM and I'm listening to this for the first time. Hands down one of the greatest things I've ever heard, I'm speechless.
I can only agree
Why are we drawn to this? This song is like the anthem to an ending. Like seeing the rise and fall of something. I’m writing this in early December of 2020. I’ve been having massive anxiety and depression recently. I feel alone but full of power. It’s as if there’s a part of me that wants to burn something while wanting to tend a garden. I’m a mess but I hope all of you out there are doing okay. 2020 has been a punch in the face to all of us. But I’m hanging in there. I want to outlive this pandemic so I can do the things I want to do in life before I take my step into the dark.
This song is art and I won’t deny its emotional impact. It brings forth the dark colors of reality that we see in our daily lives.
But I implore you to act not on this basis but on the light in your hearts. Be the flame in the darkness. Be your friend and spread your wings. You can do it. Keep going. Don’t give in until you’ve got nothing left in you. And let the things that fear you remind you of that.
I'm nearly 15 minutes into this song reading your comment. The last couple lines..I keep reading them over and over and now I'm just ABSOLUTELY SOBBING blinking hard to get the tears to clear out long enough to read your words again. I need someone to help me
Thank you for writing the most eloquent and inspiring UA-cam comment I have ever read. Good art brings good people
"Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep."

This is my favourite intro to any song ever, a desperate cry for something better in the darkness, the message and field recording always strikes me
We cant buy love and happiness, it comes from something more
The build up of this track is legendary perfect to capture the emotion of the surprise and panic Jim was facing when he came out of the hospital saw the missing posters and the chase. You can feel it in the song as it picks up the most epic and legendary band ever .
Yes
That ending always has me cowering in fear. Feels like something sinister is approaching
God there is so much feel of the God Machines bleak " Scenes from"... in this song.
truly beautiful.
More like it has already arrived
Bagpipes to mosquito hum.
It's hard to pick a better song to go along with 28 Days Later (one of my favourite films) but this perfectly encapsulates the horror and dread you'd feel in an "empty" London
Perfect song. I love it
Me too
10:30 riding to school on a bicycle at the age of 15 while listening to that part is still one of the more vivid memories I have
Same it has such eerie and dark high school vibes. Those feelings are really not enjoyable to visit but sometimes I do.
Imagine wandering around aimlessly in East Hastings while listening to this masterpiece while you see all the hopelessness and all the lives that got destroyed by hard drugs. That's terrifying.
I think the hopelessness comes first. The hard drugs just finish you off.
I watched my home town Salem Oregon wilt into such a divided, grey place. I remember walking across town in the the rain to my friends house, and I had this song playing. I eventually reached an area under a highway overpass. There were tents upon tents of homeless folks.. yelling, coughing, it reeked of piss. I just thought.. it wasn't like this 5/10 years ago.. but Salem isn't the only place where this is happening. Addiction, poverty and the way ex vets get treated.. and the way nobody seems to be doing anything to help.. it's gut wrenching. Since that day, the bitterness in the world has only become much more apparent.
I really enjoyed reading your sad but true story. do you have Instagram?
Yeah! It’s xmarlboroxbarbiex..
it’s funny, I saw a meme with this album in it and it made me come back to this great song. Forgot I ever wrote that comment.
Now I’m staying with my dad in the only apartment complex in a rich neighborhood and it makes me fvckin sick. ☠️
That shit mainly only happen on the West Coast really. Here in the Deep South there's a shit loada abandos that the homeless can squat in and I think a lotta the East Coast is just like that in general.

Wellcome bro
I came back cos it’s getting bad again 😎‼️ wooohooooo
The whole Sad Mafioso segment is just so perfect, I kinda wish it was a separate song.
That’s not to knock this song as a whole. It was one of the only songs to actually make me feel uncomfortable and paranoid (mainly the ending), which just goes to show the power behind the music and sounds here. This band has some serious skill.
the great thing about depression is that you find these gems at 2 am. that’s pretty much the only good thing though
finding this kind of music is really comforting though, isn’t it? it makes you feel like you’re not alone

@@connecticut1123 Depression overall is bad but in it you start to learn things. You can start to help others becsuse now you know what its like. You become a much more stronger person if you pull through. I've been suffering with depression ever since I was around 9 years old. I am currently 18 and still deal with it but I don't let it get to me as much anymore. I'm glad to have pushed through even when i felt weak because now I have a wife who cares deeply about me and she is the one who was the light in my darkness. In the moment you don't see the brighter side but if you push through and overcome it you'll feel so much different
I'm the only one who Remember the part of the movie "28 days later" when Jim was walking in a abandoned London? I love that movie for many reasons, the soundtrack is one of them. Is one of my favourite movies.
You’re not alone mate
Me too
I definitely remember! My Ex-wife and I seen 28 days later opening night in New Orleans at a small theater, I remember looking at her and saying Godspeed!!!
I am from Montréal, born and raised (80's) and... I never heard of Godspeed You! Black Emperor... before TODAY? What is this BLASPHEMY!? This band is LIFE!
thanks that was terrifyingly enjoyable
I remember first hearing this in 28 Days Later, and just thought it was part of the OST. Then a couple years later my friend got me into GY!BE and I was like "holy shit I recognize this from somewhere".
No way, it's in that movie? I'm genuinely surprised.
Yeah when Jim is walking around an empty London by himself at the beginning.
I was so disappointed that it wasn't on there then my world to great music exploded open.
Exactly the same thing happened to me. 😄
Glad I'm not the only one !
This song ends on a very Silent Hill-esq vibe.
You know Akira Yamaoka listened to these guys
A Friend introduced me to Godspeed by playing some if Raise Yr Skinny Fists to me and that was exactly the same impression I got.
12:20 to the end of the song is straight up nightmare fuel.
After every election I come back to this track, because it makes me aware that it doesn't matter who gets in charge of my country. Nothing, absolutely nothing will change, and if it changes it is downhill, never up.
Currently there's loads of things going on in my country and it's sad that I can't move out neither my family, we are stuck in here. And this song always comes to mind when watching the news, riding a bus packed with sad looking faces and so on.
Anyway good luck to everyone in 2023!
you aren't alone in these feelings.

listening to this while waking on East Hastings, Vancouver. what a paranormal experience lol
Hastings Vancouver!!! My apologies, i didn't imagine anyone would be so thoughtless as to replicate Hastings beyond the borders of that most cynical isle
though, east Hastings has less to do with St Leonards than the west, so that's something at least.!

Man, wish they had a whole song like the scary industrial soundscape at the end 😖
Came here from a video of an abandoned six flags park. Yeah, the song really does have that sort of abandoned feeling to it, I think.
Me too. It was a New Orleans abandoned 6 flags. The music was really fitting but I feel like that place isn't nearly as ominous as the video felt.
This was the first song to ever make me cry. When you absorb yourself in it, this song is one the greatest things ever.
just listened to this with headphones on and all the lights out. that was SUPER creepy near the end. awesome

I would say don't do acid alone either..

i did it when my mom passed away, it just was a sad experience
The last segment takes me to outer space; alone up there in the stars, and finding something so great and profound that I know it was an unnatural occurrence, but having no understanding of why it was there, or who had made it so long ago, and then I hear a buzzing in my ears~
Great piece... outstanding intuition of Danny Boyle to use this in 28 Days Later... sets the scene perfectly

This was the song that introduced me to Godspeed. I listened through their whole discography in short order, and in the decade since hardly a day has gone by that I haven't listened to at least one of their songs (usually several more). Glorious.
I remember the first time I heard this song . . . this was my intro to GY!BE . . . . I was a student at UCLA, floundering through the last stages of a dying marriage . . . this music spoke directly to my soul. Hard to believe that was almost twenty years ago now! Brilliant ..... simply brilliant!
Been there..hope your happy now?.....awesome music btw
+andy owen Yes, much better now, thank you!
do you miss her?
See them live. That is all.
Literally the greatest musical privilege anyone will ever have. Seen them 5 times, and they're the 5 greatest shows I've ever been to
I have, three times...each time astonishing...
I don’t think I’ve ever been frightened by a song before.
life is a burden. music is a “taking a break.” this is a taking breath in break.
In the UK right now a cool breeze has blown in after a two day heat wave. You have no idea how much I needed this tune, and this cool breeze.
procrastinating
hows the hair plugs adjusting? it ryhmes
Julian of Rivia the end of the world ?
Dude explain this comment now! Procrastinating what??! I listened to this song when I was at the top of my procrastination.
@@erayerdogan9449 most likely putting life off for another year.
I'm procrastinating so many things right now...
Music of the Lost Generation of Century 21.
The real estate company
I totally agree, this song perfectly fits iconic real estate company century 21
In a way, 28 Days Later kind of captured the modern state of the world with this song and Jim walking around the remains of London. As a result of Covid-19, entire cities have gone into lockdown, making them seem decolate. This pandemic may not be rage zombies going around killing everyone, but 28 Days Later did predict the loneliness in a lot of areas around the world.
And also the senseless violence and social issues that are endlessly ongoing
@@CharlieWielowski I'm kind of surprised anyone at all responded to my 2 year old comment lmao. And yeah, people nowadays are looking to get angry at literally anything to feed their fragile superiority complex or to cater to a cult that they've been indoctrinated to mindlessly follow, rather than acknowledging and fighting against the real issues of the world. Now people are really arguing whether gender means a type of reproductive organ and sex chromosome, or if it's some magical social construct that's decided by what kind of clothes you like wearing. The world's gone mad, and intellectuals like us need to enlighten it.
I actually enjoyed the empty cities during the lockdown. It was really beautiful with all the pigeons and crows in the city, only listening to the wind in trees and rain falling down on stones without traces. Everything seemed so goddamn peaceful. I wish it would have lasted longer.
Hello?
-Jim 2002
Music for the Doomer generation right here.
Ok, boomer. Sorry i couldnt resist
Shut the fuck up you cringe nornie
go to therapy
Follow the flock; step in shit.
Fuck you
I finally got the opportunity to see GYBE perform this track about five years ago. I’d heard a number of live bootlegs from the early 2000s where, during the quiet bridge that is otherwise sung by the band on the studio recording, audience members loudly sang the melody along with the band. Figuring this was commonplace, when the track slowed to a halt, I proceeded to belt out, “YA DUH DUH DUH!!” and immediately, a thousand pairs of pissed off eyes turned towards me. One of the most embarrassing moments I’ve ever had at a show lol
Goddamn that's funny lolo
Somebody still tells that story...
As long as you had fun...fuck em. ..
Funny story though
thats what lifes about right there. the little things.. I for one would have thanked you for the opportunity to witness that. Like that "let me bang bro" dude. that right there was art and what i live for. thank you for sharing and don't allow there anygry eys to disuade you from doing more shit like that. fuck'em if they knew anything they would have joined you
The things I remember most are the times I was embarrassed. I now know other people don't recall those moments about me but it took me a while to realize that
definitely one of the best songs of all time
Definetely.
Sorry, I read this band's name somewhere and therefore come from the realm of normal music... this is not the best song ever, and with songs like "Foreplay, Long Time" by Boston out there I can say that with pretty fair certainty. This just sounds like a peyote trip pressed onto vinyl.
CrazyBrick30 boomer doesn’t get post rock hahaha
@@thrax4939 Haha, yeah, except I'm probably in your age group and appreciate musical excellence. There's not much to "get" with awful music.
@@CrazyBrick30 everyone has their own opinion. I agree that this is one of the best songs ever made, but i can also see why you would look at this song and think that its crap. you just have to learn to appreciate it I guess.
An interesting time to find this song I must say
Especially when your awake as of what society is forcing us to do in order to follow the sheep trends of weak.
@Emil Kubie Calm down there buddy
@@jeffjohnson419 calm down? I can’t, it’s just my nature, what is going on right now, the elite c0cks****** out there mind controlling people to say stupid sh!t to the masses and getting paid by their masters, glad I never own cable, I’m sticking with my morals conservatism, i guess being awake kinda feels hopeless sometimes.
This is the music you listen to and you don’t care how weird odd and out of place others think you are. And, you look into others with a deeper understanding of how you don't understand them and realize you don't want to, nor, do you need to. It's enough to know, that they don't know how much you, yourself, truly know. Except for the mosquito at the end. He knows. More than any lowly human could possibly comprehend
Asla eskimeyecek bir parça, şaheser...
This is the perfect soundtrack for walking down East Hastings in Vancouver while stepping over homeless people and dodging crackheads. As a Canadian band I'm assuming that's the infamous street they are referring to.
No shit
This right here, this is what made my body tremble, this piece of work right here is what caused me to actually have emotions during a listening. It's pure, it's emotional. It leaves for interpretation. All and all, truly amazing.
If ever a song was meant to be played while watching a snowstorm, this is it
Well, there's also Eskimo by The Residents
The sad mafioso will always be my favourite track by Godspeed.
The end is extremely fucking nigh
oh yeah
About fuckin' time!
28 days later lol
It's been over for years now, just waiting for everyone to catch up.
2021 vibe
Imagine sleeping to this and the mosquito part at the end wakes you up
oi
I have I woke up feeling panicked then realized it was just east Hastings at the end playing. I was like Goddamn You Black Emperor
BAHAHA CHEERS BRO, I DID THE SAME THING
That part is insense, though. Probably their best use of field recordings (?) or manipulations of such.
Thanks coronavirus, i just discovered this band
Oi
Man this track is just so powerful. For me it conjures images of the end of the world, wandering through an endless and desolate wasteland. A city devoid of life. Gray skies. A beam of light through the crack of a tattered curtain. Dusty pews in a church long since abandoned. A field of burned trees. Black smoke on a far off horizon. Coming to terms with an end you knew was coming.
This randomly appeared in my recommended, I don’t know why it’s in there, but I’m glad that this is in there
oi
Oi
I never noticed but both the album art and music is extremely high quality and I can't thank you enough for that.
4:30 the start of infinite melancholy.
28 days later has the best soundtrack!
i listen to it numerous times in 4 years now and each time i find a different beauty in it
Imagine not liking this.
I'm reminded of this song every time I hear a crazy person rambling on East Hastings. This song captures the depressing poverty and addiction down there . The "large barge" sample at the end always bothers me. That voice sounds familiar for some reason.
it sounds familiar and alien at the same time, I think it's the way that the sentence is worded. normally, you wouldn't say charge up a discharge, and it's just kinda unsettling for some reason
Extraordinaria pieza. Mas alla de la maravillosa incursion que tiene en el film "28 Days Later" es una pieza que se eleva por si misma. Una joya.
Jesus, spotify recommendations are on point lately!
This is one of my life songs. I'll keep coming back and listening to this probably for the rest of my life.
I really thought I wouldn't like this. I was so wrong
+grapesNbacon glad you found it friend. keep digging hard. music is the message.
+sonikku dammit I first found out about GYBE through, believe it or not, hip-hop turntablists. This is when they had only released ONE CASSETTE. Skratch DJs often don't get that much respect as real instrumentalists, but some of those guys have a depth and breadth of musical knowledge that is truly humbling and inspiring to learn from. MAJOR respect.
I remember when it first came out around 15 years ago. Everyone hailed it as avant garde so I avoided it. Now i see that its very good.
lets see
not bad
Good to listen to, every now and then.
After 2 hours of exploring music which was previosly unknown to me, I got from Sex Pistols to THIS.
H-H-how??...
Going from one of the most known rock band of all time to another most known rock band of all time, what a surprise.
@@boiledsheep "most known"
the magic of music
the deeper you go, the more you will appreciate and like it
there are a lot of unexplored, never heard of albums out there, in the void of space and time, waiting to be discovered by unknowing individuals like yourself
i literally went from a song called gxth bitch to this masterpiece
@@brazilbr4415 He wanted to say 'best known' but his illiteracy got in the way. Just wondering how well known GY!BE actually is? If I went to my local supermarket and asked the first hundred people who walked past me I'm pretty sure none would have heard of this band.
Heck yeah, this discribes the world we live in now. Great.
Post-rock feels like a derelict, dying American town a la Cairo, Illinois, or full-on post-apocalypse scenery.
Really love the drone sound in the end of Nothing's Alrite in Our Life.
