The best thing about System of a Down is that nearly all of their songs can be considered "their best song". All of their songs are amazing and unique, I might even go so far as to say they have never made a bad song.
I have never listened to a band that can mix ballad, heavy metal, punk and Oriental elements so well to create a distinct, dark comical theme that's distinguished them from all bands that ever was or ever will be.
It's neither Oriental nor Spanish. SOAD all derive from Armenia and have openly said they use lots of sounds with a Middle Eastern influence in their works.
John Dolmayan is one the top drummers of all time. You’ve got 5/4, 9/8, and 3/4 odd time signatures, John handles them like a master! The 9/8 (or perhaps it’s 9/4) parts are so subtle but critical to the flow of the song. John Dolmayan is a drummer’s drummer! He brings skill in spades, but never overplays.
Name me a modern drummer who's an internationally accredited musician who is also incapable of doing polyrhythms. Your statement yearns to be more significant than it actually is.
@@gaby_3637 I feel like nu metal is such a broad term. Like how is it we see soad, limp bizkit, Korn, and slipknot grouped together? I typically refer nu metal as artists that use some hip-hop influences, such as rapping, hip hop turntables, etc. While bands like soad and tool I think of as alternative metal.
SOAD is probably the only band who's never made one single bad song. You can put their whole discography in the playlist and never have to skip a track. They're easily the GOAT of the alternative metal scene! ❤
Best thing about SOAD is how they just don't follow the rules of "normal music" Hard to explain, but the flow and everything is unique to only SOAD. One of the most important metal bands in history I would say
Manny Singh Omg! My sister was on my RUclips. sorry, I introduced her to some music other than the popular crap that's on the radio today, and she considers every song with electric guitar as thrash metal. I'm sorry, she can be really ignorant sometimes, and she has her own RUclips, so I don't understand why she uses mine, but my apologies my dear Friends ^~^
I first heard SOAD when I was 13 years old… I’m now 27 and going to my first ever SOAD concert in February 2022. Almost 14 years later and I will FINALLY see them live. I can cross that one off my bucket list my fellow SOAD fans! Update: It was the BEST concert I’ve ever been to. The whole crowd was in the moment. Everyone was either in the pit or head banging! Haha. The energy was INDESCRIBABLE. Honestly, still can’t believe I had the chance to see them. Hope all my fellow SOAD companions are still blasting their music!!
ikr i hate the songs these days most of the artists nowdays are copying eachothers typa songs even if im a teenager but im obsessed with these old bands & songsss and i hope these types of songs never stops
@@Serjtankia 100% agree. when this came out, it wasn't on the radio as much as pop songs. now most of those pop songs are largely forgotten and a song like this has stood the test of time
@@MRSYSTEM96 it's still underrated for me💔omg can't explain the way this band gives me the best feeling ever it enters my heart before it enters my ear
Do you have that feeling when you realize a band has that sound that was made for you? Like when all of their songs are perfect for your ears? When you feel that all of those songs are splendid and when you hear them you feel like the best version of yourself? That's what SOAD does for me. They remind me of who I am and what I want in my life. This band has a whole meaning for me.
15 years later. God, can't believe how much literally everything has changed yet my love for SOAD remains. I still remember the first time I saw this video on Fuse when I was 13...
The melody. The transitions. The change of pace. The vocals. Everything about this song is a beautiful masterpiece and it is a damn shame that this song does not receive the appreciation and recognition it so richly deserves Edit: 1.3K likes?! Thank you guys!
This song always reminds me that we're all going to die someday, and life is nothing but a theater for everyone to see, we're all actors in our own world, generations fall, and new ones are born.(As you see at the end of the video.) The circle of life repeats itself, the show must go on.
If you are young and yet have to explore all the music that SOAD made, then i wish i was in your shoes. When SOAD was new and done all these incredible songs it was the most wonderful time for me to do my things and listen their music. If you are young and explore em now, enjoy. It's sick what they done. It's awesome!!!!!!
Exactly. About a year ago, I really only knew their hit songs. A few months after getting Spotify, I decided "You know what, I'm gonna listen to more of SOAD's discography" I have been a massive SOAD fan since and have never looked back. Love almost everything they have released and are now 1 of the few bands that immediately comes to mind when I think of my favorites
Serj and Daron’s voices is absolute perfection like someone acknowledge this with me and that these people are true musicians (edit) I just came back to this comment to rephrase this a little bit because the whole band is absolutely fucking amazing.
I love how _angry_ the final act of this song is. It still has the same desperation, but as soon as Daron plays that single chord for a couple measures just before the chorus, there is rage as well.
I think the world needs system of a down right now. Cannot believe how relevant the lyrics to most of their greatest songs still are its almost terrifying.
Everything about this song is perfect. The wildly shifting moods and time signatures, the incredible instrumental and vocal performances, the simple yet beautifully introspective lyrics...it has it all. It's my favorite song by SOAD and possibly my favorite song of all time.
Been a metal fan for 20 and more years, SOAD do things with tempo and moods that only the greatest of the genre have achieved. Not necessarily complicated, but tasteful and well placed, and incredibly, wildly dynamic. Helps to have one of the tightest rhythm sections ever, a guitar player all about the sound and the songs and a truly gifted vocalist.
When I was 16 years old, this album came out, I wasn't living at home due to many difficulties, but I was living with an aunt... And even though my mother did not have a lot of money, I begged her for the cd, and lo and behold, she sent it to me, from Texas to North Carolina!!!!! This band is one of the things that saved my life as an adolescent, and this song along with many others kept me alive and going..... I'm 34 years old now, and have children of my own... Thank God for System of a down!!!! And the community that comes with it... April 27th 2024 ☺️
100 million views and many different time signatures later, this is still a timeless song through and through. Chop Suey might have made me a fan of this band, but this song cemented that. Long live SOAD, forever.

When listening to SOAD tracks, it feels like there is a story behind every track i listen to... Their music is so pure yet aggressive, its purely awesome...
No Offence but most songs do ill name u three difrent artist who do Rise Against Three Doors Down Linkin Park 4 more Eminem Three Days Grace Black Sabbath Stone Sour 2more Slipknot Five Finger Death Punch need i go on?
This band still towers over most of what comes out anymore. Ive had these guys on my playlist for prolly 15+ years now. Sad that their creative differences get in the way but theyll always be in my hall of fame.
Creative differences aside, I saw them last year in Las Vegas at Sick New World Concert, also my birthday, Best Birthday EVER! Not gonna lie the program was full of so many bands I wanted/needed to see, at times I was overwhelmed and leaking awsomeness from my eyes, and SOAD was the last band of the night. Amazing show! Definitely a Bucket List Show for me.
This is one of the songs I was listening to when I OD'd back when I was 15 (32 now). I went into a coma for a day and a half and had a near death experience. I still don't know what happens when we die, but I did hear what they call the music of the spheres and see a bright light, which I understand have empirical explanations. Fuck, I'm glad I got through that. I love SoaD but had kind of forgotten about this song. Weirdest nostalgia I've ever felt
Me encanta esta canción. . Me dio fuerzas . Cuando estaba en un momento oscuro de mi adolescencia, solo me ayudó a llevarlo un poco mas . .Como te encuentras hoy
Wow, in 14 I had a NDE and heard/saw/felt the MUSIC in HEAVEN/World above us. Saw the STARS as ANCESTORS who WELCOMED ME HOME...then was taken into some initiatory procedure/ceremony or something and placed back here and knew MANY FUTURE EVENTS...that have mostly ALL COME TO PASS NOW...and I too, was JAMMING these tunes. Maybe there's something in the FREQUENCIES TRYING TO AWAKEN US before we PERISH without NOWING anything of SIGNIFICANCE. More happened, seemingly EONS of things...not enough TIME here to tell it all. But we're THE ALIENS here...we don't BELONG HERE. So much MORE to LIFE. This world is TEMPORAL. We are not. CONGRATS on your JOURNEY!
This is one of my all time favorites from them because of the way everything just works together so perfectly in this song. And this is present in all their songs but it’s especially noticeable here. From the kickass guitar and bass with the percussion to the incredible intertwining of Daron and Serj’s voices just coming together beautifully. I’ve never heard a band whose members voices could come together quite as incredibly gracefully as SOAD. As a musician of 9 years, their writing and attention to detail is fucking incredible.
LOL ! Yes the artistic performance is very successful I agree however the message of the text means nothing Theologically it's very poor I don't know what message they want to send but it's rubbish
I absolutely fucking love the way it balances. You have Serj with a scream, Daron with a powerful note, and Serj with a weak and creeping note. Incredible texture and balance and one of my all time favourite moments in music
Lyrics: Sweet berries ready for two Ghosts are no different than you Ghosts are now waiting for you Are you Sweet berries ready for two Ghosts are no different than you Ghosts are now waiting for you Are you, dreaming Dreaming the night Dreaming alright Do we, do we know When we fly When we, when we go Do we die?

Yeah La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la Do we, do we know When we fly When we, when we go Do we die? La la la la la la la la
I love the _anger_ that this song ends with. The journey of emotions, from anxiety and curiosity, to hurt and desperation, and it definitely ends with all those but dipped in fury.
My husband was the same way, except SOAD went with him through his 20s. Probably the same time you were in your teens. :) The music has that eternal quality of excellence.
Now I feel old. I was 22 years old when this came out. Hard to imagine that some people know this because their parents listened to it. In my imagination parents only listen to 50ies-70ies music 😆
I remember that they released this video first on their website, and they emailed us members a code to access it. I didn't have internet service at home, so I went to the internet cafe several times just to listen to this song that wasn't on MTV or anywhere else yet. Almost 20 years from that. Time flies, SOAD is forever.

Agreed. All of their albums are instant classics and they have more replay value.

With this one they made a masterpiece, and you're right when you say that they never make a bad song. But this one......

[Verse: Serj Tankian]
Sweet berries ready for two, ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you, are you?
Sweet berries ready for two, ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you, are you dreaming?
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Do we, do we know
When we fly?
When we, when we go
Do we die?
[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Do we, do we know
When we fly?
When we, when we go
Do we die?
[Outro: Serj Tankian]
Yah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Gracias
Thanks. I have now lost my voice
(Without being alive?)
This song is so fucking beautiful.
Words literally pale, it's so incredibly powerful, true art.
When listening to SOAD tracks, it feels like there is a story behind every track i listen to... Their music is so pure yet aggressive, its purely awesome...
Exactly!
OHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
???????????
No Offence but most songs do ill name u three difrent artist who do Rise Against Three Doors Down Linkin Park 4 more Eminem Three Days Grace Black Sabbath Stone Sour 2more Slipknot Five Finger Death Punch need i go on?
Oh yes, I agree so much, especially songs like Vicinity of Obscenity has such an inspiring story behind it
Took me 19 years to fully appreciate this song…that final chorus is one of the most beautifully melodic pieces of music I have ever heard
I love how half of these thumbnails are just Serj making some kind of face
All of their clips except Lonely day
And they're awesome
So what's the deal with System of a Down? They're not a system and they're not a down!
@@olivervarga-kiss8267 lonely day is daron making a weird face
@@YehudiNimol Thanks, Jerry.
This band still towers over most of what comes out anymore. Ive had these guys on my playlist for prolly 15+ years now. Sad that their creative differences get in the way but theyll always be in my hall of fame.
Creative differences aside, I saw them last year in Las Vegas at Sick New World Concert, also my birthday, Best Birthday EVER! Not gonna lie the program was full of so many bands I wanted/needed to see, at times I was overwhelmed and leaking awsomeness from my eyes, and SOAD was the last band of the night. Amazing show! Definitely a Bucket List Show for me.
@@madmex2kdamn it sure sounds like the last dying wish concert, missed opportunity I see...for me that is
One more album. That all I'm asking for.
Alfred Cristopher fuck off
LingLingTheUltimate sooooon so sooooon
2:04 best part. The way daron and serj delivery "dreaming all right" + the way serj smiles and looks up. Love this clip and this song
Damn imagine if youtube and social media was bigger back then. These guys would have above 500million views in most vids
I was just thinking that. How crazy their view count is and RUclips wasn’t really a thing when it came out.
For sure they could have been big no question
This is one of the songs I was listening to when I OD'd back when I was 15 (32 now). I went into a coma for a day and a half and had a near death experience. I still don't know what happens when we die, but I did hear what they call the music of the spheres and see a bright light, which I understand have empirical explanations. Fuck, I'm glad I got through that. I love SoaD but had kind of forgotten about this song. Weirdest nostalgia I've ever felt
Glad you're still with us.
🙏
Me encanta esta canción. . Me dio fuerzas . Cuando estaba en un momento oscuro de mi adolescencia, solo me ayudó a llevarlo un poco mas . .Como te encuentras hoy
Wow, in 14 I had a NDE and heard/saw/felt the MUSIC in HEAVEN/World above us. Saw the STARS as ANCESTORS who WELCOMED ME HOME...then was taken into some initiatory procedure/ceremony or something and placed back here and knew MANY FUTURE EVENTS...that have mostly ALL COME TO PASS NOW...and I too, was JAMMING these tunes. Maybe there's something in the FREQUENCIES TRYING TO AWAKEN US before we PERISH without NOWING anything of SIGNIFICANCE. More happened, seemingly EONS of things...not enough TIME here to tell it all. But we're THE ALIENS here...we don't BELONG HERE. So much MORE to LIFE. This world is TEMPORAL. We are not. CONGRATS on your JOURNEY!
I don't need caffeine i'll just listen to a System of a Down track
That's enough for three days
Listen Finnish and Swedish metal. It's more than caffeine and SOAD.
Is how i wake up today after 5h and im like tanananna tananaaa
But if you do like caffeine and System of a Down, then try some of Serj's Kavat coffee. It's Armenian.
Wow, thanks for idea. I'll write how it went tommorow morning
This is one of my all time favorites from them because of the way everything just works together so perfectly in this song. And this is present in all their songs but it’s especially noticeable here. From the kickass guitar and bass with the percussion to the incredible intertwining of Daron and Serj’s voices just coming together beautifully. I’ve never heard a band whose members voices could come together quite as incredibly gracefully as SOAD. As a musician of 9 years, their writing and attention to detail is fucking incredible.
And the fact that Daron can sing his heart out while playing super fast riffs is also amazing
remember when slt opened for soad.. so
sick !!!

Jerry and Layne
LOL ! Yes the artistic performance is very successful I agree however the message of the text means nothing Theologically it's very poor I don't know what message they want to send but it's rubbish
IMHO, one of the best songs ever written. I still get chills nearly 15 years on.
Me too man. Fucking masterpiece. My favorite band ever. One of the most unique ever.
1:12 Arguably one of the best vocal harmonies.
"when we go do we die"
that's very deep.
How could i forget SOAD ?!! I grew up with these songs
Nikolai Dantzler Tbh its my best song now :D
This shit in my shit when I'm fucked up SOAD for life baby
xX H3NK3 Xx you shit in your shit?
haha me too tho.
Same here
Serj:😩
Daron:😠
Shavo:🙄
John: 😐
Daron:🍙😤🙄😳🤪
john is always 😐, especially in B.Y.O.B
John😶
😩
That wild lunatic scream at 2:28 though. My favorite part
I absolutely fucking love the way it balances. You have Serj with a scream, Daron with a powerful note, and Serj with a weak and creeping note. Incredible texture and balance and one of my all time favourite moments in music
2:50
me too bro
😮
Such an incredible song and after so many years it still hits just as hard.
please please do not let this song die at all costs
nostalgia
SSSSSSSS
WHAT
E Ué
YESSSS
nostalgia pra caramba mano serio essa musica marcou a minha vida
Serj: 😩😆 😤
Daron: 😡😧 😶
Shavo: 😌
John 😐😐😐😐😐
John is always😐 especially in byob
XD
LOL
Their harmonization is on point 🔥🔥🔥
2:57 one of the best part that I heared in my entire life. It's just simply perfect! Change my mind.
i totally agree.. chills...
Reminds me of Metallica for some reason idk why
love the extra screams at the end
Friend: so is SOAD prog, punk, numetal, metal, metalcore, psychedelic rock, jazz or a power ballad band?
Me: yes.
Soad is art
*h*
power ballad 🤣
Koplo
@@weetskuy mana ada 🤣
System will forever live rent free in my brain. And hopefully comes with me when I die.
Best rock or metal group ever. Period.
Lyrics:
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you, dreaming
Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright
Do we, do we know
When we fly
When we, when we go
Do we die?
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you
Sweet berries ready for two
Ghosts are no different than you
Ghosts are now waiting for you
Are you, dreaming
Dreaming the night
Dreaming alright
Do we, do we know
When we fly
When we, when we go
Do we die? Yeah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Do we, do we know
When we fly
When we, when we go
Do we die?
La la la la la la la la
Thank you.
The hertz in this song has me breaking tears and goose butters every single time. They hold that note towards the end and i just melt
Brazil here. My heart is burning listening this music.
I've always considered this their best song
Holyshit the harmony. Goosebumps.
IKR??! have you heard ego brain??

The last must be 5/4
Yea.. but can I get a 1/8th. That's the real question!
I don't understand how to read music sadly
first is also 5/8 there is no 9/8 in this song
@@FearOfTheTrooper actually he is right, its 9/8.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question!#Composition
I love the _anger_ that this song ends with. The journey of emotions, from anxiety and curiosity, to hurt and desperation, and it definitely ends with all those but dipped in fury.
if music could kill, I'd die happy
+able2ful1 Fucking true.
just the right words to describe me right now.
This song is so beautiful & always gives me a little of a haunting vibe. It brings back to memory the paranormal experiences I've had.
This band was my shit when I was 8! My dad listened to them all the time and I'm still rocking to it at 18!
Michael Anderz how about 19?
dude it's metal, not rock
My husband was the same way, except SOAD went with him through his 20s. Probably the same time you were in your teens. :) The music has that eternal quality of excellence.
@Thoubaan Pillay?
Now I feel old. I was 22 years old when this came out. Hard to imagine that some people know this because their parents listened to it. In my imagination parents only listen to 50ies-70ies music 😆
Back in 2005 this music video's kinda creeps me out. It's somehow giving me the Sleepy Hollow vibe. But I literally fell in love with this song.
This song saved my life
Just_ that_guy _YK well I'm glad there a lot of band that saved me I'm glad this band was ur
SOAD is one of the most unique sounding bands in metal. I’ve never heard anyone like them.
His voice reminds me of my father, it’s nice to have a memory so intertwined with music. After all, grief is the only human condition we share.
System Of A Downis the most unique band that has ever existed
такие песни помогают не увязнуть в том дерьме, что тоннами выливают на нас ежедневно с радио колонок, телевизоров и т.д. ставлю 3 лайка
С трёх акк чтоле?))
OBRIGADO A TODOS DA BANDA!!! VOCES FAS PARTE DA MINHA INFANCIA !! 2023
LALALAKALLALALALALALA
Aaaaaaaaawaww
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life I'm crying
Masterpiece.
my fav from SOAD
my too
same
yyyyyyeeessss !
my too
yosh!
Best band ever!
Christian Gozo was. Was in 2005.
Arkadiusz Siepiela Still are.
Still the best going around, my all time favourite
I remember that they released this video first on their website, and they emailed us members a code to access it. I didn't have internet service at home, so I went to the internet cafe several times just to listen to this song that wasn't on MTV or anywhere else yet. Almost 20 years from that. Time flies, SOAD is forever.
Coming back to this hell of a song once in a while just to get amazed again and again at how great the energy and feelings are in it.
Love it!
I first heard this song when I was 12 jus found out my mother died this song was playing as I found out
I will never get over how good this song is.
Thank you
