You are walking through an empty mall thinking you are alone until you hear this song start to play and carl and shaggy doing the macarena start walking up to you
The reverb and echo really make it. I listen to this song regularly but this version hits different. Thanks for sharing, I've joined the others vibing out 👍
You are walking through an abandoned mall with your friends, looking at all the old clothes from 1980s... or was it 90s? And this starts playing. It startles you, but you and your friends start to sing along. It's nice to hear some good music in a creepy place. But you hear footsteps, at a fast pace. You hide behind a plant, and see.... That it was just a security guard listening and singing along too. She does see you, and you do get in trouble, but she is calm about it and you go home, forever remembering this weird, but nice moment.
@@dramsel Maybe if something is about to be built there, someone owns the property now, and as they’re about to tear it down someone’s making sure that nobody goes in
What terrifies me is that I had a very very odd dream that I was a little boy(I’m a girl) in like the late 1800s or early 1900s and this song was playing in the background. The odd thing was that I hadn’t hear this song in years. Not only that, in the dream I was on some sort of hill and I had a sled and I was climbing up but I kept losing my grip because it was muddy and inside I had a feeling that if I fell I would die. This dream was like 1-2 years ago and I still remember it because of how weird the scenery and the music was as a pair.
A song like this that’s innocent and happy from an older time, with the creepy reverb in an abandoned place; a song that also has relative double-meaning would be perfect for a teaser for a Five Nights of Freddy live action movie.
If anyone is wondering this photo is from a regal cinemas in Tampa FL and it still has the neon. This photo also isn’t actually that old so if your near Tampa I suggest you go there.
@@chant0564 I have a collection of images like this on my drive, I use reverse image search to find ones similar to them to find the photo that fits the audio and feeling perfectly.
Matthew Wilder! Takes me back to my childhood lol. When chart music was fun, catchy and every song was distinct from each other. Oddly enough the still photo has an 80s vibe but looks modern. I guess in an empty mall no body could indeed break your stride lol.
When I hear this I feel like i'm running for my life cause the entire mall is full of zombies. The song just has to be a little glitchy cause the radio is half broken and then it would be perfect.
So weird that this was put together… My introduction to this track many years ago was while I was in the mall! I was walking past a women’s clothing store and this track was playing in the store, and the prettiest girl was dancing away while her friends were talking in front of the entrance.
Imagine walking In a abandoned 1980s mall and this starts playing then a guy with a Mullet pencil mustache and boom box comes around the corner and says “are you going to break the stride”
It’s depressing, where are all the people? It’s like the apocalypse happened but the lights are on and the music keeps playing until the electricity runs out
Bro. Imagine running through the mall to get away from a murder and this shit plays. You knock over a vending machine in a hall way and he just does a little hop over it and slowly catches up to u. :]
Back in late 2021, me and two old school friend’s where messing around one night in the mall after 99% of the people had gone home. We’d all left school that summer and had been at different colleges for some months, not this song sadly, but music was still playing over the speakers and it was really memorable. It’s one of those old 80’s malls by mine that still has all the original interior designs so it was literally like we where back it time 😢
My dreams always seem to predict my future. I’ll dream of a specific setting, vibe, or feeling. I dreamt about the setting of this video. I literally recognize the image on the screen. I was in this video long before I saw it. Months before I saw it.
you wake up in this place. no one's around and it's obviously night time. every exit has a heavy shutter gate blocking them. through the speakers, you hear a gleeful voice say "I can see you", then the music starts. what do
I feel like I was born in the wrong time. I love the 80s and all that comes with it. Looking at this picture, I feel as if I can just walk through the hallway, then I’ll be IN THE 80s. Like fully immersed. But sadly, it’s as if I’m stuck back in this hallway, always yearning to go through, but unable.
It’s funny because I’ve literally been to this mall before. Many times as a kid. I know where this place is. This is actually a movie theater inside the Citrus Park Town Center in Florida (it used to be called Westfield Citrus Park when I went as a kid) and I remember absolutely loving the 80’s neon aesthetic. It’s really surreal and funny seeing one of the places I loved going to as a kid now being regarded as a true liminal space lol.
I have vivid memory of being about 7 yrs old hearing this song while driving in the back seat of my friend’s mom’s car. I had a crush on his mom. She was a hottie.
You walk the empty halls. You've been walking for a long time, but you find that you cannot stop yourself no matter what you do. There is nothing else here to be found or done. Nothing will ever break your stride again.
I have this very odd feeling like the music is about start distorting and getting lower and slower out of nowhere and then all the lights shut off for 3 minutes and some crytpid monster comes running out of nowhere chasing me
if i heard this song in a mall it would remind me back in 1989 Edit 2024: Still listening this, after I heard this me and my dad would make our own dances to dance to this before I go to school
Your walking in the mall until you hear that song you keep walking and walking until you hear something coming from the ally’s it might of heard you but good bless you.
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
This is how the music playing sounded in my mall in its last few years open. Miss my mall every day and it was sad to see it die and eventually close and torn down
I don't know about the mall you go to, but the malls close to me have their music at about this volume. It's still fairly audible even with a lot of people.
You are an alien colonist excavating a war torn planet only to find a mere ruins of an abandoned structure, with a very funky song playing in loop after its predecessors abandoned it.

Fun Fact: Mathew Wilder (who wrote this song) also wrote the music for Mulan.
That is indeed a fun fact. He also voiced one of the boys, the skinny tall one if I recall?
@@radfatdaddy4169 Yep.
I don’t know why, but the end of the song where it’s getting quieter and then silence just feels kind of unsettling, yet weirdly nostalgic to me.
I have spent at least 4 hours listening to this on loop and I love it. This is such a champ vibe, ngl.

I also lived by The Mall of America.

That mall looks like the Pizzaplex in FNaF: SB
This really reminds me of when I went to a shop like at 6am with my friends after a sleepover and staying up all night And this song was playing 😩👌

Ain't nothing going to breaka my stride, except this wrecking ball that leveled the mall to the ground
I love it loud~ ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
Reminds me of my local mall.. used to play tunes like this in the 90s-2021.. it was demolished / repurposed into a strip mall / hotel.
The echo is perfect.

Nothing will ever break your stride again.

Unrealistic. Stores would never play something this good, its always "Someone that I used to know" or "Radioactive".
