What I love about A7X is that they explore many new and interesting themes in their music rather then keeping to just one constant theme that is present in most music these days- sex, drugs and breakups. Each of their albums express a new theme, particularly from their self titled to present album. In Nightmare we truly feel the pain they went through after losing their best friend and drummer Jimmy Sullivan, and The Stage- holy shit it has to be one of their best. Not many musicians in modern days would strive to explore the theme of science within their music, but A7X did. How this band has evolved really blows my mind. Exist has to be one of their number one songs- it has to be. Avenged Sevenfold NEEDS to win that grammy. They have to. I believe in A7X xx
It has. But 80% of it is just instrumental. Even so, I don't think it's impossible to make a lyric video out of this. Especially with the song's concept. However, I think we would have already seen it if they were planning to make it.
Lyrics I. The Creation [instrumental] II. Earth Our truth is painted across the sky In our reflection we learn to fly No hand to hold us No one to save us from tomorrow Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone No light to follow A shot in the dark Does anybody know? Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone High from the heavens I can't see the pain Does anybody care? Think for a moment of all the lives Stripped of their essence before their time We stand to conquer But is there nothing left tomorrow? I'm sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone There's no light to follow A shot in the dark Does anybody know? Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone High from the heavens I can't see the pain Does anybody care?

Brilliant work. These images especially in the last 5 minutes are exactly what i had in my head while listening to the song. Like how the world has evolved around us and the meaning of our existence which is the exact meaning of the song. I was hoping someone would make something like this. Well done man
Kwstas Samaras: " Like how the world has evolved around us and the meaning of our existence which is the exact meaning of the song." I'm sorry, but are you implying that the universe revolves around us? If so, then I'd have to disagree. I mean, Neal DeGrasse Tyson's speech is basically about believing that this belief is extremely arrogant and that there's so much more o ut there.
I said E-volved not RE-volved. I know my english is not the best but dont get hung up on a phrase or a technicality. I think most people understand what i mean. I also believe there's so much more out there.
This is one of those videos that humble me in an existential way. Many of us claim that humanity is a mistake and irredeemable, and that we cause too much chaos in this world to do any good. However, this video proves something different. Chaos, randomness, and wild events are what created and shaped this world. Earth was built, destroyed, and rebuilt naturally until it became a habitable and healthy planet. It is only natural that we as a product of this world would do the same. We will continue to make mistakes and rebuild, rinse and repeat, until we finally get it right. Once that happens, we will be ready to venture out beyond our rock. Not as one single race, nation, or culture, but as an entire species of individuals. Of course, that won't be the end of it. We will continue to make mistakes, figure things out eventually, and then go on until again we get it right. It's a perpetual cycle of creation, and whether it is divine will or simply the nature of all things, we cannot deny that it exists.
Haha, I've seen this documentary a bunch of times. It's probably my favorite video to learn about the Earth. And you've just coupled it with an amazing song from one of my favorite bands.
So this is one of my favorite songs of all-time (Saw A7X in concert seven times since 2011). And I have to say, this video captures it immaculately. Kudos to you, my good sir. You nailed it.
Avenged Sevenfold always had different genres on their each album, many people hate it but that's why I love it! This is one of my fav A7X song! Great job with video
This is how education should be taught.. Dramatic. Exciting! Thrilling. Also its a proven study that people who learn while listening to metal perform exceptionally better than country or rap. Something to do with Metal and Classical music having the key chord structures. Key chords tones and vibrations are keys to unlocking higher consciousness .. Theory.. We don't learn.. We already know everything and we remember.. All information within our reality is stored in our genetics.
I must say... you did an amazing job with this. It kind of reminds me of "Dark Side of The Moon" over "The Wizard of Oz", but much better! The timing actually did fit well on your adaptation, even with the video sped up. Watched the entire thing, and will most definitely watch again! Thanks for this!
I'm not going to lie I was very skeptical when I saw a video put out by someone other than the band, but this video was incredible and definitely does the song justice. Very fitting images that are just as thought provoking as the song itself. Awesome video!
wow. this is pretty much what went through my head when I listen to this song. I love it when Matt starts singing "sailing away beyond the reach of anyone" the camera timing on all of the vocals made me feel like I was flying with Matt's voice. again amazing job.
0:00 - 1:31 (Preceding the big bang "15 billion years ago" there was the singularity, little known and very speculated, where all the matter and energy that exists today, were confined in a single infinitely hot point, which logically had no space, and no time). 1:31 - 2:19 (The big bang followed instantly with the expansion of the universe. From the second initial of the expansion "appearance of space, time and energy", passing through the Planckian periods; Separation of gravity; Separation of the 4 fundamental forces of the universe; Creation of quarks; Of protons, neutrons and electrons; And the formation of the first chemical elements, Hydrogen and Helium; 800,000 years passed). 2:19 - 2:51 (High-density clouds with Hydrogen, Helium and perhaps other elements, were gravitationally agglomerating and attracting, was the appearance of the first galaxies). 2:51 - 3:14 (With the emergence of galaxies and their different dispositions, the stars, which progressively appear and collapse in events known as the supernova, for example, creating other chemical elements such as Carbon and Iron.) 3:14 - 3:35 (From the ashes of some stellar explosion came the "our" Sun ...) 3:35 - 4:19 (...From the remaining materials of the sun's appearance, the solar system was formed, with its comets, asteroids, and planets...) 4:19 - 5:18 (Among these planets, 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth appeared. That before the "present" constitution, it passed through many phases, among them, the great asteroid bombardments that came from the material that remained of the solar system, for example, and that directly or indirectly gave rise to the rocks and the first forms of relief.) 5:18 - 6:55 (About 2.5 billion years ago, the first forms of life appeared, which despite having experienced great periods of mass extinction "when the guitar stops" some have evolved until they reach ...) 6:55 (...1.6 million years ago, the emergence of the human being).
I feel like this song is so underrated. This song is amazing, definately my favorite song of A7X. I really hope that they keep up this kind of music making. You can hear their enthousiasm and creativity and years of experience as a band. I love the route the band took with this album and absolutely hope they will keep up this work :D
This is best thing I've ever watched...... I'm big into space so this whole video with the meaning behind the song was unreal to me. If the creator of the vid looks at this props man good fucking job. One thing that should Be done with this video is do some acid put this on a projector with surround sound with all lights off. That would probably be crazyyyyy. Just liked and subscribed.
While this song "Exist" is amazing in several ways, Tuomas Holopainen's (Nightwish) "The Greatest Show On Earth" is more like an opera. Different styles of metal music, but I really like both.
Sailing away beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone I AM sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone
amazing! this is exactly what i pictured in my head the first couple times i heard this song. hell on earth then calmness into a boom of life. if i had one suggestion, i would have put scenes of people during Neil's speech to really bring the message together of humanity and that we are one. thank you for this!
I just discovered this video yesterday and I've rewatched it at least 6 times since then. It's simply amazing. And I ordered this album right after seeing it.
this is such a powerfull song and video. made me think about a lot of things in life. I can proudly say it made me tear up. A7x you are more powerful and inspiring then what you guys get credit for. Thank you.
What I love about A7X is that they explore many new and interesting themes in their music rather then keeping to just one constant theme that is present in most music these days- sex, drugs and breakups.

Avenged Sevenfold NEEDS to win that grammy. They have to. I believe in A7X xx
The media has an agenda and our job is to be aware
Jeez we get it, they’re a good band. No need to keep sucking the kool aid out of their dicks
15 minutes and 46 seconds of reasons why A7x is my favorite band
seriously i would write a 10 page paper on why they are the best if i had to
Why is Avenged Sevenfold called A7x?
@@Relics275 it's from the bible. "Sevenfold" means "7 times"
I feel the song was more based on the viewpoint on the entire universe, not just the earth.
RazeD its was, just did have footage for that.
RazeD same
RazeD Stoney they said in an interview it was based off the Big Bang theory and the evolution of earth
that's the beauty of music. You can interpret it however you like.
00:00 - 04:40 Creations of Universe
04:40 - 15:40 Creation and Evolution of Earth
My biology teacher told us that if you put earths history into a clock. Fully evolved humans would be like the last 2 seconds.
Too bad that's all complete bs, God made the earth not that long ago.
That screaming note at 10:53 makes my eyes well up. This is Avenged's masterpiece. It deserves a Grammy.
Amazing! I hope A7X makes a music video for this song at some point. I can end up being a masterpiece.
I personally think it's more likely to be a lyric video. But since it hasn't come out yet, I don't know...
This song doesn't have enough lyrics to warrant a lyric video, it's mostly instrumental.
It has. But 80% of it is just instrumental. Even so, I don't think it's impossible to make a lyric video out of this. Especially with the song's concept. However, I think we would have already seen it if they were planning to make it.
you can be a masterpiece
A 15 minute music video might be too long.
that was so fucking amazing. good job dude.
Thank you appreciate the feedback, makes it worth it
If they actually did something like this just for the fans i would watch it every day
I've never been much for Avenged Sevenfold... But this song changes things.
dujfraz i did too!
This song just made earth's origins look intense as hell, and I swear this would make a really good amusement park ride
Juan Sanchez I know, right? this is amazing!
watching this high is even better
Ewok_Slayer27 YES!
I’m about to do that tonight :)
honestly
Ewok_Slayer27 this itself makes you get high
You dont need to be high to enjoy music??
I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This is why I love Avenged Sevenfold's songs!
Absolutely fucking incredible, you captured the song perfectly well done dude.
🙏🏻
Lyrics
I. The Creation
[instrumental]
II. Earth
Our truth is painted across the sky
In our reflection we learn to fly
No hand to hold us
No one to save us from tomorrow
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
Far beyond the dreams of everyone
No light to follow
A shot in the dark
Does anybody know?
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
Far beyond the dreams of everyone
High from the heavens
I can't see the pain
Does anybody care?
Think for a moment of all the lives
Stripped of their essence before their time
We stand to conquer
But is there nothing left tomorrow?
I'm sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
Far beyond the dreams of everyone
There's no light to follow
A shot in the dark
Does anybody know?
Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
Far beyond the dreams of everyone
High from the heavens
I can't see the pain
Does anybody care?
The Timelapse of the Universe
0:00-1:31 The almost empty universe
1:31-2:20 The Big Bang
2:20-4:06 The constant yet instability formation of stars and exo planets
4:06-4:40 The formation of the Milky way. A place utterly insignificant and almost unregarded among the other millions
4:40-5:20 Earth formed and a part of us slips away forming the moon, which gravitates towards Earth. Forever then.
5:20-6:10 Our planet Earth revolving around it's axis, cooling down...
6:10-6:56 Water showering over Earth and the so thought Art begins
6:56-7:26 Evolution takes place from the first anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria to the hominids
7:26-11:45 Humans. The wannabe supreme beings reigns over. ( I sincerely do not know if this was a pretty neat idea) Till then, bask in with the final words of My Tyson.
11:45-15:40 ... "Until the rise of a new visionary culture, the cosmic perspective; a perspective in which we are one, fitting neither of the above nor below, but within."
Bro Maniac awesome man
This whole video is wrong by sequence
Deep song! Literally and metaphorically.

Not for anyone
Songs are not made like this, as other's have posted, this is truly a MASTERPIECE!

This is a documentry called the story of earth. the video is just ripped off. not even edited jjust a 15 min clip taken with a song over it
This is one of those videos that humble me in an existential way. Many of us claim that humanity is a mistake and irredeemable, and that we cause too much chaos in this world to do any good.

Simply the best band of the last decade. Hope they open for GNR in UK and in Europe.
My man this is a phenomenal edit/music video. Thank you so much for this
14:41 that Dino part was awesome!
This is my favorite song
And this is my favorite video
You did a great job making this, thank you
Haha, I've seen this documentary a bunch of times. It's probably my favorite video to learn about the Earth.
And you've just coupled it with an amazing song from one of my favorite bands.
That was the goal . Thanks for the comment
imagine watching this while you're high.
lol how do you think i made it.
Stop acting like you made it, its from national geographic
im sorry, let me rephrase it for you Lonely JD i edited it. OH wait i said that in the description. Have a nice Day
Mr WWE Franchise we probably all ready read the description
BRO I AM LMAO it was pretty trippy tbh
Avenged have a great progressive metal feeling on this one really nice!
This is Avenged Sevenfold's best piece of work.... 💯🤘
So this is one of my favorite songs of all-time (Saw A7X in concert seven times since 2011). And I have to say, this video captures it immaculately. Kudos to you, my good sir. You nailed it.
Thanks man, Being that you saw A7X "7" times. The question is, are your going to break the 7x into 8 ? :)
This reminded me of the stage music video , Pretty good!
Avenged Sevenfold always had different genres on their each album, many people hate it but that's why I love it! This is one of my fav A7X song! Great job with video

I ALMOST thought "lame" but then the hard riff came on with the meteorites falling and I was just mesmerized. Good job bro!
Perfect Music & Video
Thank's You

wow .. look this .. masterpiece
Learning and listening avenged sevenfold :)
This is probably the best fan made music video I´ve ever seen. Great job!
Pavel Šenítko you didnt see the National Geographic mark at the bottom of the screen.
I did. And what difference does it make?
Pavel Šenítko He really didnt make anything.
he means that the mix of the music/Video was Made as his idea. he grabbed the video from N.G. And Slapped Exist over it
ua-cam.com/video/LQUXuQ6Zd9w/v-deo.html
Official or not, this is one of the coolest things I've seen, love how you did it!
This gave me chills 👌🏻😤
The Ending is a masterpiece
after watching "the history of the world i guess" this is insanely amazing
This is a bloody masterpiece of the highest quality. Put some respect on that A7X name.
fabulous

Such beauty that this song brings to my ears. I can feel every note of every single beat. From start to finish.
Awesome video. My favorite song on the new album.
that was mind blowing... great job.
I feel like this song is so underrated. This song is amazing, definately my favorite song of A7X. I really hope that they keep up this kind of music making. You can hear their enthousiasm and creativity and years of experience as a band. I love the route the band took with this album and absolutely hope they will keep up this work :D
Thanks to you i am now waiting till tonight to watch this video. Gonna be an epic experience
Excellent!! You made my night! Always gotta be one hater though..
Haters gonna hate. F***'em!
Man... I almost cried as these are exactly what I had in mind, except humankind started as M shadows began to sing. This is mindfuck.
This video is more awesome when you're high on weed. It's the best thing ever.
best A7X song ever still miss Jimmy great work on video
Best song in the stage album. Best 15 min of my life
Not even gonna lie I know this is a video from National Geographic cause I'm watching it in class but it honestly fits it so well
My God,why did it take me so long to discover this !! Amazing !
a7x could not have represent better the big bang with this song, and you did it so right with the video, well done
This song just makes you wonder about everything.
This is a really cool idea for a video. I feel like this profile isn't getting paid due to copyright, but probably deserves to.
I've been waiting for a fan made music video of Exist ever since I listened to this masterpiece. Now I'm just waiting on a Higher music video.
This is best thing I've ever watched...... I'm big into space so this whole video with the meaning behind the song was unreal to me. If the creator of the vid looks at this props man good fucking job. One thing that should
Be done with this video is do some acid put this on a projector with surround sound with all lights off. That would probably be crazyyyyy. Just liked and subscribed.
Watched the whole thing. This is so awesome man! I got goosebumps seriously.
This video deserves more love. And it would be so cool if the album cover was actually in the documentary, like in the final screen.
Whenever i listen to this song i think about how everything was created
The last five minutes meshed beautifully with the song, bravo :D
Amazing song, and that is quite a fantastical and imaginative theoretical video to go with it. Thanks for the enjoyment XD
Really one of the more varied and aspiring songs on the album, It confuses me in a way but its good never the less.
I imagined cosmos when I was listening to this song. And now I have found this video. Exellent job!
Never been a huge A7X fan, but this song is incredible
While this song "Exist" is amazing in several ways, Tuomas Holopainen's (Nightwish) "The Greatest Show On Earth" is more like an opera. Different styles of metal music, but I really like both.
Sailing away beyond the reach of anyone
Far beyond the dreams of everyone
I AM sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone
Far beyond the dreams of everyone
That was absolutely fantastic. I cried. Thank you for your generosity, sir.
I still find people who love this band but dont about this album
amazing! this is exactly what i pictured in my head the first couple times i heard this song. hell on earth then calmness into a boom of life. if i had one suggestion, i would have put scenes of people during Neil's speech to really bring the message together of humanity and that we are one. thank you for this!
this song is nothing short of a masterpiece.
I don't even believe in the big bang yet this video still looks amazing. Great job.
I just discovered this video yesterday and I've rewatched it at least 6 times since then. It's simply amazing. And I ordered this album right after seeing it.
This video gave me chills down my spine, such a unique creation. one of my favourite Band of all time!!💯🔥🤟🏻🤟🏻
Love documentaries, love A7X. Good work, I enjoyed this.
The intro is too badass. 🤘🏻
Wonderful aesthetic in the end
This song duration is longer than my last relationship
What a godsend
this is such a powerfull song and video. made me think about a lot of things in life. I can proudly say it made me tear up. A7x you are more powerful and inspiring then what you guys get credit for. Thank you.
Look out badass song coming through
Is a job, with a lot of elaboration, is beautiful very beautiful! Thanks National geo for this video!
Best thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Very nice editing job there. It's really satisfying to feel the metronome of music also in the video
I didnt expect there to be a good music video of this song, but here we are! AWESOME!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤
