The mall as a concept has largely been dying off since the mid-2000s. between cost-of-living crisis, the disappearing capability of small brick-and-mortar to compete with online shopping convenience, and the inaccessibility due to poor city-planning creating traffic nightmares and urban decay around areas where malls used to succeed, Malls have been a slain animal in the field just waiting for a mercy kill. Visit any mall in post-2020 and walk around for a bit, and you'll quickly notice. they're very rundown and decrepit, poorly maintained, dimly lit to conserve power costs, and most areas in the mall are boarded up or empty glass windows into empty carpeted rooms where businesses had to shutter from lack of revenue. aside from some generic shopping music echoing through the hall's dated speakerphones, a few elderly couples wandering the ruins of places they used to hand-hold and dance, and the occasional gang of low-income hoodlums/thugs running around shoplifting and causing trouble, the lifelessness of a modern-day shopping mall is haunting.
The old terminals here at the Kansas City Airport are getting torn down in the next few weeks, and I traveled out of them once or twice a month throughout my whole childhood. Watching them get torn down tears my heart, and I wish they would play this song before demolition
You and a group of survivors are held up inside the upper level of a once bustling mall. You are the one on sentry duty that night, and you start hearing this song playing on the speaker system. The enemy is rapidly advancing through the outside parking lots, but you could care less as you simply listen to the echo of this beautiful song play. You sigh with a smile on your face as the song slowly draws closer to the end. And then you see a large flash of light outside the windows. Seconds later it all goes dark.
Plot Twist : You found a exit as the countless of creatures that were chasing you in the mall, all stop and sing congratulating you on finding your way out, you come to realize they were as trapped and scared as you were.
I LOVE THIS SONG OMG…. THE WAY IT SOUNDS SO FAR AWAY AND SO..I would live here, this is the song i would like to play in my head while i talk and feel about my future. The silence and echo through the hall of this song combines with it so well.
this played on repeat after the attacks happened some years ago, it turned off recently, but it turned back on a few hours ago. its eerily creepy but, its one of the only places that i still know from the old world
I'm seeing all these POVs so I thought I'd write this as a warmup or something. (Wonderful remix of the song btw!) Online shopping has overridden malls in the recent years, and today, another mall had to meet its tragic ending by being demolished. You worked your last day on the job, seeing only a few customers pop in and out. On your lunch break you milled about the building, taking in it all; the laughter of teenage girls with their coffees, the scent of hot dogs in a nearby food court, the popular tunes echoing throughout the somewhat empty corridors, the flashy electric advertisements mounted on the floor, and the nooks where the doorways had metal over them and the lights were off. Heck, you even had a minute to pass by the area where every Christmas, "Santa Claus" would wait to greet little kids with a smile. You spent most of your life coming here, as a kid, and now an adult. As a cashier in one of the countless stores, you didn't have much, but you got by. The pay was good, and you had made a couple of great friends. Memories come flooding into your mind like a hurricane of all of the good times you've had here, and sometimes the bad ones as well. At this point you wondered what layed in stock for you next. ----------------- 9:00 pm. It was closing time. All the employees were walking slowly towards the front glass doors, some examined at the space around them one last time. The building was to be bulldozed tomorrow morning, so they cherished the moment for as long as they could before they could get back home. Among these people, you stumbled across your boss, who was looking pretty down. You run up to them, an idea sparked in your head; you wanted to play one more song over the intercom before you left for good. Luckily for you, the boss humbly agreed to your pitch. You rushed over to their office and searched up the song that came to mind. When you found the tune, you took a deep breath before clicking the play button. A trumpet intro opened the song and you went outside of the office, turning your back to the door while looking around the empty hallways once more, lit only by fluorescent lights. A young woman's voice began singing afterward and you sighed with contentment as her beautiful voice reverberated through the whole mall. "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when. But I know we'll meet again some sunny day."
Ah, the Randal park mall, once the largest in the US, bustling, multiple flagship stores, over a million square feet, eventually abandoned because of vacancy rate and lack of funds. Eventually, demolished from 2015 to 2017 for an Amazon distribution center, it goes to show, we thought we were ready for this giant boom of business in these giant buildings filled with stores, but we really weren’t.
I'm surprised nobody has said this, but it genuinely hurts. How many people made memories here? How many first dates? How many confessions of love? How many breakups? How many love stories played out here? How many joyful surprises? How many reunions? A mother losing her daughter and hugs her with all her might to ensure she never loses her again. A father teaching his son what it means to be a good person. How many lifelong friendships were made here? How many childhood memories will remain? How many people remember this mall? How many are still with us?
I remember the Charleston west Virginia town center (mall) I made a memory many years ago, it was November 29th a very good night for me knowing I'm on my thanksgiving break finally my father (who sadly passed) and my uncle (he's doing well) went there to buy a gift for my brother. I remember a little play area and a large water fountain there, Christmas stuff was hung up. I remember just walking around with my father and uncle I remember eating chillis and learning what military time was while there cause the clock in the chillis was set to military time. When I got home it was about 10 pm to 12 am I remember my father showing me ELO's telephone line. I remember just going back to bed not worrying a thing. This was the last time I ever went to that mall. It was also the last year I was able to stay with my father because he died a year later in the hospital, and I only stayed with him on weekends. That night was one of my greatest memorys. Rest in piece father.
The mall itself knows we will come back after a failure of online shopping so that they can use its service, so it plays this song to boast that it will be part of your life again and will not be replaced, and it will not be as nice as it was before
For those wondering, the mall in photo is the Randall Park Mall in North Randall, Ohio, which was once the largest shopping mall in the world. It opened in 1976, closed in 2009, and was demolished in 2014. An Amazon warehouse now stands in its place.
It was a couple of weeks ago the night of my graduation I had met in the music room of my school to run over the song we were gonna sing that night now the thing you have to know about my school is is that it’s really small my graduating class was 10 people so we had time to do things like sing for it anyways we got don practicing and took a picture one more time cause this group I was singing with we had done this since freshman year the year that Covid happened so we were all pretty close after the picture they all said they were gonna walk to the gym to put there cap and gown on I said ok I’ll be there in a few I let them walk out of the room and waited there a few minutes I turned this video on and walked down the dark empty hallways of my school one more time reminiscing on all the stupid stuff I did with my friends it was surreal but it’s something I’ll never forget doing thank you for this video.
2 weeks. It's been 2 weeks since they came. 2 weeks since the end of humanity and everywhere I go this song plays no matter what it plays. I can hear their voices singing with it singing the voices of the dead singing. Theirs a propane tank here I can make a bomb out of to end it and to make sure that I don't join the singing that dam singing. To who or what finds this please end the voices free theme please set theme free.
I don't need to look at the comments to know it's gonna be trauma dumping about loved ones, times passing, and feeling memories of things that don't exist.
Zydeco Kid. I don't know if you're from Louisiana with a name like yours, but when the mall of Cortana in Baton Rouge finally closed I recalled all the times I went there as a kid with my family before the new mall took most of the shoppers with money. I imagine that final walk through the mall before the wrecking ball felt bittersweet like this song.
Theres a dying mall near my house probably 10 kilometres, I remember they used to sell gameboys and wii's there, now it more or less, dead, every year a celebration will bring the mall back to life, like a light during dark nights, but now the only reason that people go there are because of events, a plaza is near the mall so people go there to eat cheap food while feeling a little fancy(i guess) but nevertheless, its made an improvement over the last few years, almost 20% percent of the mall is closed and new shops appear once in a while but die out in a year or two if theyre lucky One time a shop that sells everything at two dollars had just opened and people rushed there. Until another fad like that appears again i dont think this mall is making a comeback anytime soon
This makes me think of an opening scene of an episode of a tv show as someone is pouring gasoline in a building to destroy evidence or something that makes them think of the past. Then title card
"Me and the rest of my tank crew are pinned in this mall. Our tank has been taken by......them....wither research or scrap metal.....to whoever is listening.....end your own life.....THEY will make it painfull.." [end recording]
It feels sad because it feels like there is no one left and if so, they are fighting for resorces and ammo for weapons and the amount of people are dwindling down to nothing.
Imagine you are exploring a abandoned haunted mall and suddenly you see a giant odd creature look at you and then this starts playing and the next thing you know you see a health bar
This makes me feel like i'm backed up against a wall, with a vague understanding that *something* or *someone* is playing this song, but from where, I don't know. It's like understanding that something/someone beyond yourself/your fear knows you're there and has ill intent. Hard to describe, did my best.
Pov:youve found the exit but that weird statue thats been chasing you has began playing music from the speaker in its throat and at 1:26 the walls begin to crack and more statues appear from the shadows of the places you havent explored yet. You look back to the exit and now its caved in and the statues begin moving towards you slowly, the largest holding its hand out towards yours
POV : Your Lost. You forgot how you got here- but You don’t mind. You listen to the sing, wondering what has happened in this mall. ‘How many people have been here?’ ‘How is this music playing?’ ‘What was once sold here?’ You shrug of your own questions- continuing your adventure through this mall.
The figure stalked along the halls, its pristine suit now coated with pieces of debris and a few faint splatters of blood. Its void-black skin reflected off any light as it smiled with uneven and sharp teeth, twirling through the halls as it could tell the camera feeds were still being viewed by those at the local police department and general security room of the dying mall. Its voice crackled through as if from a speaker, loud and occasionally crackling with static.* *"We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when... But I know we'll meet again some sunny day!"*
It’s been 3 weeks since the Japanese invasion of the United States. Your friends planned to move to the mall and wanted you to come, you were in the middle of packing your things, your friends already left, when they sent the same message in Japanese reading “JAPANESE” since then, they haven’t come back. The mall used to be thriving with survivors and security guards serving as police, however the Japanese attacked the mall and has since become a ghost town. All the bodies were hanged on the wall with katanas in Japanese fashion. When you went there to see what happened, you saw all the bodies and realized your friends died in the Japanese attack. Nobody survived. The music is still playing, but it glitches out a few times. America is doomed to be attacked by the Japanese, however there is a crumpled up Japanese secret document near your friends bodies. It reads “JAPAN REPORT, SOLDIERS MAY KILL CITIZENS UNTIL THE WAR HAS ENDED. IMPORTANT, DO NOT KILL-“ The rest is covered in thick dark blood. You take one of the security guard’s guns are search the mall, you then find a secret underground bunker. You try to open it, but it doesn’t open. However the door opens soon after and a Japanese soldier opens the door, you then get scared but he doesn’t fire. He then greets you with a tired “Konichiwa..” and lets you in. Tons of fellow survivors and being treated and get they’re own rooms. Japanese soldiers escort you to your room, turns out they only kill civilians that do not support the Japanese. You now live there, wondering what will happen after the war..
If I wasn’t living in this world, I would love to live in a post-apocalyptic world. I’d ride my motorcycle down the empty and dusty roads playing this song through my headphones while dodging the empty cars.
"Attention shoppers, United States of America have just launch a first strike on the Russian Federation and nukes will be hitting across the country at any minute now. Heres a tune for our final moments"
This gives me a setting or a plot for a book or something for like when a historic hotel or historic Mall gets demolished for some land office building because of greedy corporations and AI and I could see this song playing before demolition or before they implode the whole entire place and everybody for their last time would sing, the speakers would be installed and everybody would sing will meet again and then after the last note after one second after the last note, there will be silenced and then boom boom boom
Malls. A fading remnant of society. Endless amounts of nostalgia in them. (btw I think the mall in this video is from that king tiger in the backrooms video
You as an american soldier hide in an abandond mall you used to go when you where a kid while the Enemy gets more of the land when you hear the song you smile remembering the song for you know this might be you're last moments
POV:It's your last day alive, so you go to your favorite mall as the nuclear war head is already showing effect, as you walk through you realize.....it's not empty... the people's skin is rotting, as their screaming in agony. You try to run, but one grabs onto your leg, still screaming. You look down at your leg to see them, but you start crying.... as your body begins to feel like it's on fire... you see that your leg has rotted off, so you collapse crying and screaming in pain. You sit, screaming as it sounds like the song is getting louder. The lights flicker... the ground shakes..... and you realize.... you didn't say goodbye
This is a concept from my "Chaos & Void" book series (hope translation from Polish to English is fine): - Adam, what's that? - asked Eva. - This? - he looked around, along with sister. - I've heard about it. From elders in our village. They called it supermarket or mall. - What was that? - Well, 50 years ago in places like this one people went shopping. Those decorations... - teenager looked with his younger sister at Christmas tree. - You see, I've heard all this horror happened at December 21. This tree is for Christmas. - And what's Christmas? - Old holiday, sis. Grandfather known as Santa Claus arrived to every child on Earth and gave gifts, if they were good. If they weren't... Well, maybe nothing. - I wanna ice cream for holiday! - she smiled. - Heheh! Me too, sis. Me too. Only after launching the generator they could have seen Tesco shopping mall in a full beauty. All those decorations of Santa Claus, some reindeer standing next to a column, shop with toys and snowflakes at walls... Salazar children wondered if anything survived from this horrible day. According to what Adam heard from warriors they called it simply The End and believed the fault belonged to the people of science, so that's why all knowledge of previous times was unpleasant. According to them it happened during in the 2147 and the day was Thursday, but he never discovered if there was even a drop of truth among the sea of legends. Leaving their past behind the kids just walked forward and listened some music in not-known for them English. Something like "We'll meet again". Whatever that was, it definitely wasn't Portuguese or European.
Years After the Event, Many, Many years after it. A group of Children would enter the ''Forbidden'' Zone that the Elder's had warned about from creature's called ''Radioactives'' finding a strange device playing a ''Song'', looking around they find strange Metalic Circles with what appear's to be the figures of people on them. surrounded by dozens of skeletons. and burn marks of other people, the elder's would talk about places like theses, called ''Mawl's'' but why where there so many dead people here. only the elder's know.
We will Build a New Biggest Settlement folks! With the help of The Minutemen with their goal of rebuilding the Civilization! We hope this new City going to help people to live in safe and Secure place!
Your limping into a burning mall, it’s March 3rd, 1933. You find an aisle in the mall, it has a giant indent showing the sky through the roof, you’re Great Uncle Stan was brutally killed, His brother Ford, was turned to stone, and you’re sister Mabel, dies by you’re side. You look into the sky, the smell of ash fills you’re brain, you breathe in, then out. You take a look at the sky, and you see the only thing remaining, *Bill Cipher.*
This sends shivers down my spine! Please send the nukes already, let me live my fallout fantasy! I WANT TO LIVE IN POST APOCALYPTIC WORLD! PLEASE TODD HOLD MY HAND
If I wasn’t living in this world, I would love to live in a post-apocalyptic world. I’d ride my motorcycle down the empty and dusty roads playing this song through my headphones while dodging the empty cars.

This should be played in every mall immediately prior to its demolition
who says it isn't?
The mall as a concept has largely been dying off since the mid-2000s. between cost-of-living crisis, the disappearing capability of small brick-and-mortar to compete with online shopping convenience, and the inaccessibility due to poor city-planning creating traffic nightmares and urban decay around areas where malls used to succeed, Malls have been a slain animal in the field just waiting for a mercy kill.
Visit any mall in post-2020 and walk around for a bit, and you'll quickly notice. they're very rundown and decrepit, poorly maintained, dimly lit to conserve power costs, and most areas in the mall are boarded up or empty glass windows into empty carpeted rooms where businesses had to shutter from lack of revenue.
aside from some generic shopping music echoing through the hall's dated speakerphones, a few elderly couples wandering the ruins of places they used to hand-hold and dance, and the occasional gang of low-income hoodlums/thugs running around shoplifting and causing trouble, the lifelessness of a modern-day shopping mall is haunting.

Oh shit, Bill Cipher’s back for blood!
Pov:youve found the exit but that weird statue thats been chasing you has began playing music from the speaker in its throat and at 1:26 the walls begin to crack and more statues appear from the shadows of the places you havent explored yet. You look back to the exit and now its caved in and the statues begin moving towards you slowly, the largest holding its hand out towards yours
Such friendly eyes
POV : Your Lost.
You forgot how you got here- but You don’t mind. You listen to the sing, wondering what has happened in this mall.
‘How many people have been here?’
‘How is this music playing?’
‘What was once sold here?’
You shrug of your own questions- continuing your adventure through this mall.
The figure stalked along the halls, its pristine suit now coated with pieces of debris and a few faint splatters of blood. Its void-black skin reflected off any light as it smiled with uneven and sharp teeth, twirling through the halls as it could tell the camera feeds were still being viewed by those at the local police department and general security room of the dying mall. Its voice crackled through as if from a speaker, loud and occasionally crackling with static.*
*"We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when... But I know we'll meet again some sunny day!"*
It’s been 3 weeks since the Japanese invasion of the United States.
Your friends planned to move to the mall and wanted you to come, you were in the middle of packing your things, your friends already left, when they sent the same message in Japanese reading “JAPANESE” since then, they haven’t come back. The mall used to be thriving with survivors and security guards serving as police, however the Japanese attacked the mall and has since become a ghost town. All the bodies were hanged on the wall with katanas in Japanese fashion. When you went there to see what happened, you saw all the bodies and realized your friends died in the Japanese attack. Nobody survived. The music is still playing, but it glitches out a few times. America is doomed to be attacked by the Japanese, however there is a crumpled up Japanese secret document near your friends bodies. It reads “JAPAN REPORT, SOLDIERS MAY KILL CITIZENS UNTIL THE WAR HAS ENDED. IMPORTANT, DO NOT KILL-“ The rest is covered in thick dark blood. You take one of the security guard’s guns are search the mall, you then find a secret underground bunker. You try to open it, but it doesn’t open. However the door opens soon after and a Japanese soldier opens the door, you then get scared but he doesn’t fire. He then greets you with a tired “Konichiwa..” and lets you in. Tons of fellow survivors and being treated and get they’re own rooms. Japanese soldiers escort you to your room, turns out they only kill civilians that do not support the Japanese. You now live there, wondering what will happen after the war..
great story telling! i cant believe that the 50th "we live out until the nuke hits" is more popular then this!
@@Upersona5 thanks
Great story. But the Japanese aren’t gonna great civilians that good AT ALL. They are gonna murder all of them sympathizer or not.
If I wasn’t living in this world, I would love to live in a post-apocalyptic world. I’d ride my motorcycle down the empty and dusty roads playing this song through my headphones while dodging the empty cars.
"Attention shoppers, United States of America have just launch a first strike on the Russian Federation and nukes will be hitting across the country at any minute now. Heres a tune for our final moments"
🤔 reminds me of a song from The Shining. Love it 😁❤
or tower of terror
POV: you got lost in a mall and see weird triangle markings on the floors...
Oh no
He's back....
Bills back
@@emberashes6809 AYYY U GET IT :D
Plot twist : It's not empty or closed. You're just looking at the rebuilding half of the mall on a normal business.
i hope i go here when i die
Chat, are we rolling any giants here?
only watched a bit of fallout but somehow this reminds me of it. also just imagine exploring this place while the music plays.
Know for a fact this will be played before mutual destruction of the world.
Watching this at 1 am hits different
this song can be either shit-yourself creepy or oddly relaxing depending on the circumstances when you play it
When a fun hang out with your friends turns into a real life nightmare….
“Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?”
remember how she said , we would meet again , some sunny day ...
Aye isnt this the mall they hold Airsofts events? I think it's in Milwaukee or smth
It sounds more like its playing in a shop behind you to your right.
Great vid ❤
This gives me a setting or a plot for a book or something for like when a historic hotel or historic Mall gets demolished for some land office building because of greedy corporations and AI and I could see this song playing before demolition or before they implode the whole entire place and everybody for their last time would sing, the speakers would be installed and everybody would sing will meet again and then after the last note after one second after the last note, there will be silenced and then boom boom boom
Malls. A fading remnant of society. Endless amounts of nostalgia in them.
(btw I think the mall in this video is from that king tiger in the backrooms video
You as an american soldier hide in an abandond mall you used to go when you where a kid while the Enemy gets more of the land when you hear the song you smile remembering the song for you know this might be you're last moments
POV:It's your last day alive, so you go to your favorite mall as the nuclear war head is already showing effect, as you walk through you realize.....it's not empty... the people's skin is rotting, as their screaming in agony. You try to run, but one grabs onto your leg, still screaming. You look down at your leg to see them, but you start crying.... as your body begins to feel like it's on fire... you see that your leg has rotted off, so you collapse crying and screaming in pain. You sit, screaming as it sounds like the song is getting louder. The lights flicker... the ground shakes..... and you realize.... you didn't say goodbye
This is a concept from my "Chaos & Void" book series (hope translation from Polish to English is fine):
- Adam, what's that? - asked Eva.
- This? - he looked around, along with sister. - I've heard about it. From elders in our village. They called it supermarket or mall.
- What was that?
- Well, 50 years ago in places like this one people went shopping. Those decorations... - teenager looked with his younger sister at Christmas tree. - You see, I've heard all this horror happened at December 21. This tree is for Christmas.
- And what's Christmas?
- Old holiday, sis. Grandfather known as Santa Claus arrived to every child on Earth and gave gifts, if they were good. If they weren't... Well, maybe nothing.
- I wanna ice cream for holiday! - she smiled.
- Heheh! Me too, sis. Me too.
Only after launching the generator they could have seen Tesco shopping mall in a full beauty. All those decorations of Santa Claus, some reindeer standing next to a column, shop with toys and snowflakes at walls... Salazar children wondered if anything survived from this horrible day. According to what Adam heard from warriors they called it simply The End and believed the fault belonged to the people of science, so that's why all knowledge of previous times was unpleasant. According to them it happened during in the 2147 and the day was Thursday, but he never discovered if there was even a drop of truth among the sea of legends. Leaving their past behind the kids just walked forward and listened some music in not-known for them English. Something like "We'll meet again". Whatever that was, it definitely wasn't Portuguese or European.
This song gives me sinister vibes.. it would fit perfectly in horror movies😭 I love it
Plot twist, this is a backroom that you will never get out
we'll meet again
Plot Twist: It’s just Tuesday in the post-Amazon American mall.
Years After the Event, Many, Many years after it. A group of Children would enter the ''Forbidden'' Zone that the Elder's had warned about from creature's called ''Radioactives'' finding a strange device playing a ''Song'', looking around they find strange Metalic Circles with what appear's to be the figures of people on them. surrounded by dozens of skeletons. and burn marks of other people, the elder's would talk about places like theses, called ''Mawl's'' but why where there so many dead people here. only the elder's know.
Top ten reasons to live in an empty shopping mall
Catch me kicking it with Bodacious T
I'm getting Shining vibes here did you all make it out OK are you stuck in 1983?
This is for The Village Mall in Orange
We will Build a New Biggest Settlement folks! With the help of The Minutemen with their goal of rebuilding the Civilization! We hope this new City going to help people to live in safe and Secure place!
Everything is over.
This sends chills down my spine, creepy.
I might be wrong but is that the Dawn of the Dead mall?
American Horror Story should do "The Mall"
picture if you will, an abandoned mall on the dark side of Hollywood
Your limping into a burning mall, it’s March 3rd, 1933. You find an aisle in the mall, it has a giant indent showing the sky through the roof, you’re Great Uncle Stan was brutally killed, His brother Ford, was turned to stone, and you’re sister Mabel, dies by you’re side. You look into the sky, the smell of ash fills you’re brain, you breathe in, then out. You take a look at the sky, and you see the only thing remaining, *Bill Cipher.*
Sic transit gloria mundi
It's sad to realize but eventually the entire world will be empty one day and this is what might be left.
sick pfp bro

Yeah my 3am deadass thinks that a lot.
If I wasn’t living in this world, I would love to live in a post-apocalyptic world. I’d ride my motorcycle down the empty and dusty roads playing this song through my headphones while dodging the empty cars.
