+xxAWESOME BROxx WALL-E can't work as a name because its copywriter by Pixar. He needs a different name, maybe something related to a Starset song... maybe Stardust or Starlight, or even Ricochet or Satellite?
That robot is more human then most of humans . I watched with blocked tear , hoping he makes it , and he did ! It was a happy ending better then any novel or movie , and that' s why Starset is the best thing that ever happend in Music history , what they do is not just songs , they give you life and teach you valuable lessons with the most rare informations in such iconic geniune and rare way! There is originality and then there is Starset ⭐️
My friend and I were in the car, and My Demons started playing on the radio. We both looked at each other Friend: "You know this song? This is amazing." Me: "Nope." F: "Damn.." *song ends* Person on Radio: "And that was My Demons by Starset." Friend: *pulls over and starts looking up Starset on Spotify*
Am I the only one who wants to see a music video for Frequency, Gravity of You, and Die For You? I would also like to see another music video come from the Transmissions album. Maybe, Point of No Return.
Last week I learned about Starset. Fast forward to today and I now have both Transmissions and Vessels in my music library. This is some good shit. Looking forward to any future releases from these guys.
This song is quickly becoming my favorite off of Vessels. Something about the high notes and the line "Is this death or rebirth?" just hits me every time. Plus I think Vessels blew Transmissions clear out of the water imo
Funny Thing this is my favorite song by Starset ever!!! If it wasn't for this song I would have never listened to any of their others when I overheard my bro listening to this one!!!
This song hits hard in the middle of the night when your in a bulldozer cab, pointed directly at the stars, dreaming of a different way to make a living 🤘🔥🤬
Sam Ledesma well, if the last album was to be believed, then this song was 100 % guaranteed to get a music video. Monster was also guaranteed. Next is ricochet.
I absolutely love that segment with the gold planet representing the dangers of the near-inescapable pull/desire towards temptation, power, greed, and revenge that many of us are unfortunately far too inclined to lean into instead of resisting.
I'm curious. Does Starset have a canon? I feel like the songs and videos have an overarching story, but there's no way to know for sure as far as I can see/hear.
They actually do! This may be a bit late, you probably already know by now, but if not, check out their book "The Prox Transmissions" for the backstory behind The Message.
STARSET... You put on an amazing performance at The Hampton Ballroom Casino 7/22/17. Your passion is evident. The energy you brought to the venue was the most spectacular theatrics ever witnessed. We wholeheartedly support you and all you stand for. Life is Beatiful. Thank you for the experience. Hope to see you again soon.
Llevo escuchando esta canción desde que se estrenó y me sigue encantando como el primer día, starset es mi banda favorita y para mi todas sus canciones son hermosas e infravaloradas
It wasn't the sun - it wasn't glowing, as evidenced by only one side being lit. It was a planet of gold. (Or whatever golden mineral the bigger robots had them mining.) It was a representation of the temptation of wealth and power.
This robot reminds me so much of Icarus.. Having a vision, a dream, he builds something that helps him reach it. However, when they both saw the sun, it lulled them and they started to burn. While Icarus died, though, this little guy reached its goal.
this band can seriously do no wrong!! I saw their concert in Columbus on Friday and they blew me away with how amazing they were. I also got to meet them and got their autographs following the concert and they're very humble and down to earth and such great guys. honestly tied for my favorite band!
This song from this album was probably the least liked by me, and it was still a good song, but seeing this music video and the story behind this song, it made me enjoy it more! Good job Starset. I don't know why many other bands doesn't put story behind their songs. Red is the only other band that I know that does, and Starset.
marko cinut Being that they supposedly are part of the Starset Society.. I believe in the subliminal part of their songs. Just music to some but there's some meaning behind it. just my .02
i believe when it said "is this death or rebirth" i think its a human like us but trapped on a ruled planet therefore where he or she was killed then turned into a bot or something then he or she found the crystal that bringed him or her back to life then he or she went home
I'm not sure but I think the blue color = the good and the red = the bad (like for god and devil) Notice that Earth is blue and the sun is red too And when the pure blue rock "saw" that the robot was turning red, it decided to not help him anymore, because the rock want to have good persons / things around him, and when the robot was about to die because his rocket wouldn't work without his source of energy that is the rock (aka the good), he realised before almost dying, by crashing into what caused him to turn red, that all he wanted in the beginning was to have a peacefull life on Earth And the robot became a good person again, and the rock noticed it, so it helped the robot and saved him, but if the robot would have stayed red, he would have died on the sun Moral is that if you're planning to do bad things to other people, YOU will be the person that will get rekt by your own naughtiness, but, if you're planning to make people around you happy and to have a peacefull life, then you'll probably succeed Also notice that when the robot first launch his rocket, the rock isn't shinning (even if he has his hand in front), BUT, when the robot came back from the devil, the rock was actually making light and shinning, so it means that the will of the robot to be good is more powerful than ever, so the rock is too ALSO, notice that the very first planet with robot slaves is purple, and what gives purple ? Red + Blue, so it matches with the fact that these are robots and not humans, because they aren't supposed to have emotions, to know what is good and what is bad, and same thing for oppressors, they're not red, they oppress because that is what they have to do, that's all. Without the rock, the fleeing robot wouldn't have ever knew what the good was, and so on, because he knew what good was, he also discovered what the bad was for the first time of his life, but thanks to his wisdom (or the rock maybe ?) he went back to becoming a good person I'm French sorry if I made grammar mistakes
Only issue is that’s not the sun. That’s the planet he left, note that it flashes in and out after the robot fantasizes about ruling it? He wound up turning back towards it and away from Earth. Heaven versus Hell still works though
The video is not one of morals, but is a message with a warning attached. The crystal and its power symbolizes the robot's dream and motivation. The robot strove for this goal, but upon first seeing an additional path, his motivation faltered and he careened towards the fate that tempted him instead. For many, this is the end; they fall too far into the pull of this alternate fate and can't escape: their dream is lost forever. The robot noticed he was veering off course and an alternate fate was pulling him away from his dream, and so, his motivation (the crystal) sparked back to life and he steered himself towards his desired fate: Earth. TL:DR The moral is follow your dream, but be wary not to go off track, for if you do, you might not be able to come back.
Starset - Back To The Earth, Imagine Dragons - Birds, Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit, Skillet - Rise, Skillet - Not Gonna Die, Three Days Grace - Misery Loves My Company.... I'll say, we need more animated music videos from all of our favorite bands!
For whatever reason, the ending part of the song itself (starting at 2:45) gets me all up in my feels and it may just be because of the way I interpret it. Like someone's in a constant state of depression and no matter what they do they always fall back to the earth and nothing they seem to do works but by the end towards the instrumental they just let out all of their emotions, which Dustin's voice in the background of it surely helps. Idk, chances are this sounds overthought and dumb
i was kinda predicting the gem would ignite again in the loud part of the instrumental XD that Gem should be called Everglow Stone!! 0-0 this is an awesome video! as always, and cute X3
This might be one of Starset’s most underrated songs
I agree
With unbecoming
Starset as a whole is underrated
Agreed! This is one of my 3 favorites from Vessels, along with Unbecoming and Ricochet. And this adorable music video just makes me love it even more.
It's my son's favorite song, he listens to it every day
It was a pleasure for our animation studio to work on the full production of this video. I want to give a special shoutout to everyone who was involved and worked hard to make this video truly possible.

Lithos Yuuki thank you
+Essence Cartoon Does the little robot have a name?
He is nameless. :)
Starset has taken me to space without the need for a rocket.
Sayatsuki same
Same
This is why I keep up to date. So glad I found them. Or did they find me?...
"I will be your Apollo" said
They do it all the time
I listened to this song so many times without watching the video.
Just watched the video for the first time and it's emotional af😲😢
the same thing just happned to me and I realized that I haven't clicked the like button yet, it took me only few years :D
Same wth I've been here listening since Transmissions and shit and this is the first time I watched the video tonight
Anyone else wishes Starset did more animated music videos like this one? This was epic! :D
Yea
There's echo
echo
We know but MORE@@improvedaily7265
If the old MTV was around, Starset would had been playing everyday.
Wall-E 2: Back To The Earth
I'd so watch that.
Same Here
Rocked I'll take it...
They actually returned to the Earth in the first part...
Max Christian shush! don't ruin it!
The screaming at the end IS FREAKIN AMAZING
I'm so happy the robo man made it to earth 👍🏼
Tactical Highlights and got captured by the FEC and uses to enslave humanity *Great Job Lil' Robot Dude U Killed Us All*
+NERO THE HERO ^
this is, by far, the best Starset song for me. And it's also my favorite song of all time
Nikola D and it was posted on my birthday
I agree
This robot should be starset's new mascot.
Ty Cable omg! Thought the same
YES! And he needs a name too!
Ty Cable the name should be WALL-E
+xxAWESOME BROxx WALL-E can't work as a name because its copywriter by Pixar. He needs a different name, maybe something related to a Starset song... maybe Stardust or Starlight, or even Ricochet or Satellite?
I think that the whole Album will be a story of that robot :3
That robot is more human then most of humans .
I watched with blocked tear , hoping he makes it , and he did ! It was a happy ending better then any novel or movie , and that' s why Starset is the best thing that ever happend in Music history , what they do is not just songs , they give you life and teach you valuable lessons with the most rare informations in such iconic geniune and rare way!
There is originality and then there is Starset ⭐️
I just heard of this band 3 days ago. Now I'm overdosing on every song.
It did the same to me U.U
My friend and I were in the car, and My Demons started playing on the radio. We both looked at each other
Friend: "You know this song? This is amazing."
Me: "Nope."
F: "Damn.."
*song ends*
Person on Radio: "And that was My Demons by Starset."
Friend: *pulls over and starts looking up Starset on Spotify*
me too bro
woah! here's another one
We found this band around the same time I’m still overdosing in each song and last moth I went to a starset concert
This song is criminally underrated.
The meaning of this video is so deep. I love Starset so much.
Gabrielle Vanlandingham The crystal simply woke up his sentience. He always had it, it just needed a wake-up-call
The meaning of this song can make any "cosmos lover" cry❤
Where did he get tape for the picture.. That's the true question
Starset siempre me transporta a otro mundo, su música es realmente especial...
no la dediques y sé feliz amigo mío
great video for great song😘😘
YASSSSSSSSSS
mateo Sánchez yeah I know :)
Sushil Singla VEVO do you like dragon ball super
Mass Cuber yeah,Vegeta is favorite😎😎
cool my favorite is goku you you know cause in the movie battle of the gods beerus got reked by im when goku turned angry
Am I the only one who wants to see a music video for Frequency, Gravity of You, and Die For You?
I would also like to see another music video come from the Transmissions album.
Maybe, Point of No Return.
I know this is three years late, but y e s, these are literally my three favorite Starset songs
HANDS DOWN THE MOST UNDERRATED STARSET SONG
The song and animation tell amazing story. And the cute robot looking at his drawn picture of new home. So well done.
This is their most dramatic song hands down. And also one of the most atmospheric ones.
Last week I learned about Starset.
Fast forward to today and I now have both Transmissions and Vessels in my music library. This is some good shit. Looking forward to any future releases from these guys.
This song is quickly becoming my favorite off of Vessels. Something about the high notes and the line "Is this death or rebirth?" just hits me every time. Plus I think Vessels blew Transmissions clear out of the water imo
Funny Thing this is my favorite song by Starset ever!!! If it wasn't for this song I would have never listened to any of their others when I overheard my bro listening to this one!!!
This song hits hard in the middle of the night when your in a bulldozer cab, pointed directly at the stars, dreaming of a different way to make a living 🤘🔥🤬
I don"t know why i tear after i watched the whole MV
It shocked me
I didn't expect a new video from starset this soon after the album was released ! a great surprise ^^
Sam Ledesma well, if the last album was to be believed, then this song was 100 % guaranteed to get a music video. Monster was also guaranteed. Next is ricochet.
cutedogsweetsugar Ricochet technically already has a video... with the lyrics and 360º.
Sam Ledesma Monster has a music video too! : D
Were you let down? ;)
Is it just me or is every damn Starset tune epic AF?
I cried a little.. thats absolutely amazing, I love it❤ Starset, you guys are truly a miracle! thank you❤❤❤
Starset fuels me, always bringing me back to the earth
Good lord this band is so underrated it should be appreciated.
Bruh did I really almost cried for this?
I was an animator on this video! Let me know if you have any
questions or are interested in our studio, Essence Cartoon!
Thanks - I worked on this with the company I work for, Essence Cartoon! And there may be more Starset in the future!
AbraCadaveric You got talent mate
AbraCadaveric you did an amazing job!
you made me cry) you've done amazing job, good luck in the future!
How long did this video take you to animate?
I love the philosophy of this one, I sympathize with it a lot
I hope more people will get it...
I absolutely love that segment with the gold planet representing the dangers of the near-inescapable pull/desire towards temptation, power, greed, and revenge that many of us are unfortunately far too inclined to lean into instead of resisting.
Am i the only one that feels like this is one of starsets most underrated songs
I vote Satellite (what I'm calling the robot thanks to the "I've become satellite" lyric) to be the mascot of Starset!
Addictive like a gravitational pull.
I'm curious. Does Starset have a canon? I feel like the songs and videos have an overarching story, but there's no way to know for sure as far as I can see/hear.
They actually do! This may be a bit late, you probably already know by now, but if not, check out their book "The Prox Transmissions" for the backstory behind The Message.
Thank you Starset, you made 2023 a little more bearable. This song, in particular, helped through some hard moments.
Honestly, this is the one underrated song that I really love.
STARSET... You put on an amazing performance at The Hampton Ballroom Casino 7/22/17. Your passion is evident. The energy you brought to the venue was the most spectacular theatrics ever witnessed. We wholeheartedly support you and all you stand for. Life is Beatiful. Thank you for the experience. Hope to see you again soon.
am I the only one who instant like every Starset's vids ? :D
that moment when starset make a music video...and it's well animated too!
Llevo escuchando esta canción desde que se estrenó y me sigue encantando como el primer día, starset es mi banda favorita y para mi todas sus canciones son hermosas e infravaloradas
this little alient robot made me so emotional i started cryingggg
I really like the animation style of this video. Starset should do this more often!
When I say the robot flying towards that sun I thought that was Earth, and the robot was too late because humans already destroyed it.
Right
It wasn't the sun - it wasn't glowing, as evidenced by only one side being lit. It was a planet of gold. (Or whatever golden mineral the bigger robots had them mining.) It was a representation of the temptation of wealth and power.
I found this song after 5 years and I am crying now 😭. Damn how good is this.
Men, wtf, why I know that you know that the pieces fit?
I'm only 6 years late ...
I'm a man with simple desires. I see 'Starset', I click 'like', and I feel happy for doing so.
This robot reminds me so much of Icarus.. Having a vision, a dream, he builds something that helps him reach it. However, when they both saw the sun, it lulled them and they started to burn. While Icarus died, though, this little guy reached its goal.
And now there's a Starset song called Icarus.
@@lexsanders212 how coincidental
this band can seriously do no wrong!! I saw their concert in Columbus on Friday and they blew me away with how amazing they were. I also got to meet them and got their autographs following the concert and they're very humble and down to earth and such great guys. honestly tied for my favorite band!
So weird to see a different animation style.
But I love it.
Every Starset song is incredible.
This song from this album was probably the least liked by me, and it was still a good song, but seeing this music video and the story behind this song, it made me enjoy it more! Good job Starset. I don't know why many other bands doesn't put story behind their songs. Red is the only other band that I know that does, and Starset.
EDJR0 That's the beauty of concept bands
EDJR0 Listen to Nothing More, they do it and they do it great!
Check out I-Exist's Humanity album. The entire 4-volume album tells a story.
jbmaverick2012 Holy shit. it's amazing 💙
This band has released two beautiful alums in a row. that's something
The chorus/repeating part(s) before "death or rebirth" are nearly incomprehensible, but to me personally sounds like
"ON MY OWN, MY OWN!"
Cute little robot is cute. :3
This band blows me away.amazing refreshing sound
This is so unique, I love it
I just love it when there’s chunks of a big story in every STARSET music video
My Monday just got a fuck ton better.
Jester Hyhuahua That happens when Starset has a bunch of new music.
Jester Hyhuahua As well as my birthday
11/8 to 6/8 time signature. The verses are in 11/8 and the choruses is 6/8. May not be the exact way they count it, but it’s a solid way to.
Sweet ! I wasn't expecting this ! 😃😃😃
So adorable and creative!! I am never disappointed with Starset.
This animation is LITERALLY out of this world
Yeah hehe omg
I love how the music always makes me feel hopeful at the end
and then he landed in America and got captured and tested on by the Government :D
marko cinut He got that freedom! 'Murica!
This is living proof of AI and extraterrestrial in Area 51!
inner secret
marko cinut Being that they supposedly are part of the Starset Society.. I believe in the subliminal part of their songs. Just music to some but there's some meaning behind it. just my .02
So small.
definitely not what I expected, but that's how good Starset are!
i believe when it said "is this death or rebirth" i think its a human like us but trapped on a ruled planet therefore where he or she was killed then turned into a bot or something then he or she found the crystal that bringed him or her back to life then he or she went home
The power left him when he wished to become the master over others, but returned when he remembered what he really wanted.
I'm not sure but I think the blue color = the good and the red = the bad (like for god and devil)
Notice that Earth is blue and the sun is red too
And when the pure blue rock "saw" that the robot was turning red, it decided to not help him anymore, because the rock want to have good persons / things around him, and when the robot was about to die because his rocket wouldn't work without his source of energy that is the rock (aka the good), he realised before almost dying, by crashing into what caused him to turn red, that all he wanted in the beginning was to have a peacefull life on Earth
And the robot became a good person again, and the rock noticed it, so it helped the robot and saved him, but if the robot would have stayed red, he would have died on the sun
Moral is that if you're planning to do bad things to other people, YOU will be the person that will get rekt by your own naughtiness, but, if you're planning to make people around you happy and to have a peacefull life, then you'll probably succeed
Also notice that when the robot first launch his rocket, the rock isn't shinning (even if he has his hand in front), BUT, when the robot came back from the devil, the rock was actually making light and shinning, so it means that the will of the robot to be good is more powerful than ever, so the rock is too
ALSO, notice that the very first planet with robot slaves is purple, and what gives purple ? Red + Blue, so it matches with the fact that these are robots and not humans, because they aren't supposed to have emotions, to know what is good and what is bad, and same thing for oppressors, they're not red, they oppress because that is what they have to do, that's all. Without the rock, the fleeing robot wouldn't have ever knew what the good was, and so on, because he knew what good was, he also discovered what the bad was for the first time of his life, but thanks to his wisdom (or the rock maybe ?) he went back to becoming a good person
I'm French sorry if I made grammar mistakes
Thats a really cool theory
Only issue is that’s not the sun. That’s the planet he left, note that it flashes in and out after the robot fantasizes about ruling it? He wound up turning back towards it and away from Earth. Heaven versus Hell still works though
The video is not one of morals, but is a message with a warning attached. The crystal and its power symbolizes the robot's dream and motivation. The robot strove for this goal, but upon first seeing an additional path, his motivation faltered and he careened towards the fate that tempted him instead. For many, this is the end; they fall too far into the pull of this alternate fate and can't escape: their dream is lost forever. The robot noticed he was veering off course and an alternate fate was pulling him away from his dream, and so, his motivation (the crystal) sparked back to life and he steered himself towards his desired fate: Earth.
TL:DR The moral is follow your dream, but be wary not to go off track, for if you do, you might not be able to come back.
The ending and the music together make me want to cry frs😢
no worries Starset Robot, we will save you from Area 51
A Terra era Linda!
The earth was beautiful!
😔😔
i love when he sings ,,Isolated!"
I listen to Starset at least for one year already but I never heard of this song??
starset needs more views
That's it little robot! Keep that light burning and don't just blindly follow the masses! Love the song and the animation is pretty awesome!
It’s a good song
If anyone knows anything of electric music, THESE GUYS NAILED IT! You gotta agree with me now. Who makes better music than Starset?
wasn't expecting this :D
Absolutely blown away...
It's so cool to see the same people under every Starset's video!
*These are the true fans...*
Starset, you made my day better! Great job, great album!
Isolated, I succumb to the weight of the world
Separated, I fall from the sky
Is this death or rebirth?
Falling back to the earth🖤
I personally believe the ‘screamed’ lyrics are ‘Oh, I know, I know,’ then ‘is this death or rebirth?’ ‘Oh, I know, I am’ falling back to the Earth
Mano que negócio bom, fico sem palavras pra expressar o quanto essa música é boa...
why am i crying all my tears out???

Aynen🌟
I feel like animation is a perfect fit for Starset’s music. I’d love to see more animated music videos from them!
isolaaaateeeeddddddd..............
I succumb to the weight of the world ..!
The music videos of Vessels are so much better than transmission's videos...
It's songs like this that make me fall in love with starset all over again
For whatever reason, the ending part of the song itself (starting at 2:45) gets me all up in my feels and it may just be because of the way I interpret it. Like someone's in a constant state of depression and no matter what they do they always fall back to the earth and nothing they seem to do works but by the end towards the instrumental they just let out all of their emotions, which Dustin's voice in the background of it surely helps. Idk, chances are this sounds overthought and dumb
in the end what got him home wasn't the crystal, it was his will power to go to earth
i was kinda predicting the gem would ignite again in the loud part of the instrumental XD
that Gem should be called Everglow Stone!! 0-0
this is an awesome video! as always, and cute X3
This is one of the cutest music videos I've ever seen.
I wish this was a cartoon series
