Downplay - Waiting On The Sky To Change (lyrics)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2017
- from the album Beyond the Machine
There's something in the air
Burning ions in the oxygen are all aglow
A Felling everywhere
Premonitions of the storm that comes
But I won't go
I'm done running towards
The eyes of tornadoes
Pretending this is hope
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it wash over my fear
Of these heights as I transcend
And become whole again
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it take me out of here
I won't live life in the rain
waiting on the sky to change
Been frozen since that day
I saw my clear blue skies
As they turned to gray
In front Of Me
It's hard to find my way
Can I rise above
When giving up
Is all I know?
I'm done running towards
The eyes of tornadoes
Pretending this is hope
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it wash over my fear
Of these heights as I transcend
And become whole again
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it take me out of here
I won't live life in the rain
waiting on the sky to change
And the water's rising
Going deaf from the sound of rain
And the water's rising
I won't drown in the flood you made
And the water's rising
Going deaf from the sound of rain
And the water's rising
I won't drown in the flood you made
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it wash over my fear
Of these heights as I transcend
And become whole again
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it take me out of here
I won't live life in the rain
waiting on the sky to change
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it wash over my fear
Of these heights as I transcend
And become whole again
I breathe in the atmosphere
Let it take me out of here
I won't live life in the rain
waiting on the sky to change

And here we are... the night of the release of the new single with Starset and Breaking Benjamin... and the song is just as fantastic. Nicely done.
Was thinking the exact same thing ^^
Fun Fact, The lead singer of Starset(Dustin Bates) is also the lead singer of Downplay
You can really tell they adjusted their tone and pacing to integrate the breaking Benjamin sound and vocals.
This song, "Title" by the band "subtitle" , is amazing
I bet Dustin is over the moon getting to remake this song with Breaking Benjamin 😭 he's come so far, I'm so proud of him
"I waited for the skies to change but oh they never did"
Someone pointed out the connection between this song and Earthrise and it blew my mind that Dustin is still paying such respects to the band who kinda started his career. I just hope he decides to primarily continue to focus on Starset and MNQN though, as much as I like Downplay its not nearly on the same level.
EARTHRISE 😊
We've been waiting for nearly ten years and the sky finally changed
@@echostar034 He really should just play Downplay songs with Starset now and then and let Downplay rest.
@@Zukadic some of the songs from transmissions were made for downplay and their remaking this song as starset with breaking benjamin.
My god the remastering of this song for the Collab was amazing
Absolutely fucking nuts. I absolutely CRANK it when it comes on. Slaps for sure.
As someone whose favorite song off this Downplay album was this, Starset & Breaking Benjamin took this song to new heights, their remake is so much better!!
Reminds me of Bringing It Down in the beginning.
Omg yes
I do too.
"And I waited for the skies to change, but oh, it never did" (Earthrise - Starset)
"Waiting on the sky to change" (Downplay) 😊
Earthrise=Starset
Just waiting for the song that says, "And after all this time, the skies have finally changed"
This is 100% Starset material... would love to see it in their third album!
Fun fact: Dustin Bates used to be the singer of Downplay before he started Starset.
@@snazzyjovialwyrm3314 Yeah... pretty sure he knew. That's why he commented that in the first place
Chi
Same thoughts. The best Downplay song.
Jup, awesome song!! There's no song from Dustin which I don't like ❤ A re-release of this would be great
ah yes my favourite lyrics of all time 0:02
it's written with so much compassion it has so much more than just a meaning this is art this is everything a songwriter wants to achieve
Title
Subtitle
It has such a great message
Since Starset is doing a remake of this song I think it would be a great opener for the fifth album. The lyrics would make a great fallow up to something wicked
Agreed, plus they don't really have collaborations on their albums as far as I know, so this would be a first.
Only issue is i doubt this will be an album opener, it would be cool and it definitely fits but it’s only been like what, 9 months since their latest album, which usually their albums take about 2 years
Bro, it will be a collab with Breaking Benjamin! For me that makes it even more hype!
@@michelcastro6422 yeah, imagine if it was the album opener tho, it would be their first on album collab. Prob unlikely tho
So glad this song got the spotlight recently with breaking benjamin they really improved it which I didn't think was possible
As hyped as I am for the Starset version of this song, I hope that they will one day remake Edge of the Universe as well.
Starset ft Breaking Benjamin about to make this song a huge hit
I just realized the reference to this song in Earthrise lmao
what reference?
@@kylenielsen5083 "and i wait for the sky to change but oh it never did"
This is really the song where that Starset sound was formed
Starset, MNQN, Downplay: ❤
The Big 3
Man, I gotta say, Dustin's voice was GOLD back then.
It still is
still absolutely is
@@ddawg123 it's still good, but for some reason I like his earlier voice better. I think it has to do with how he pronounced his vowels...
This song aged incredibly well😏
Ah, right, that song "Title" written and sung by Subtitle. Pure gold. 👌🏻
Came here after the release with braking Benjamin because I couldn't find the downplay version on Spotify, just as good as I remember 👌
they took the downplay version off in fact
The remake overall is way better. But the final chorus in this one is punchier and I like it a bit more. This one is a vibe, but it’d really just depend on my mood for which one I choose to listen to. I love the remake, but it’s a bit criminal that the original was removed from Apple Music and Spotify
Original had a way better vocal intensity progression than the remix, although the difference is minor.
I think I like this version better then the new one.
this version is much better, new one is good but waaaay too overproduced
"Beyond the Machine" is my favorite Downplay album and THIS needs to re-released as a Starset song! Maybe with a different instrumentation... Amazing song!! 😍🔥
Breaking Benjamin and Starset are doing cover of this together.
@@lexsanders212 not so much a cover as it is a remake since Dustin made the song.
Now that it has, it’s safe to say it’s INCREDIBLE
About that… lol
Nice guess
Here after the remaster with Breaking Benjamin. God I love Starset
Anyone else prefer this over the starset version?
I like them both about the same. They both offer a different experience. One thing I really like about this version over the Starset one, is the final chorus. Its more bombastic in this one. Its a little more subtle it the starset one. But the collab on the starset one is too good.
Their equal tbh
I prefer this one mhm
Nah Starset version a bit more. More screams, more classical instruments, more overall production and flipping Breaking Benjamin is on it! This song is great and you can sense the Starset in it, but the new version is just out of this world
@@djmaydraws3862 I disagree. Starset version sounds a little too overproccessed.
Amazing
Weird.
I was expecting a climactic orchestral outro for some reason...
@DiamondPie i know
I was making a joke.
You know, when I made the joke about this sounding like a Starset song, I certainly wasn't expecting it to ACTUALLY BECOME a Starset song lmao
@@rairose4944 This aged like fine wine 😂
The fact that he has been making music since 09 shocks me
Actually, back in 2005. Dustin started Downplay back in 2003 when he was still in high school, but only performing covers until their debut album "Saturday" in 2005.
Awesome I love this song and I love this❤❤❤❤
I feel like they could have named this Atmosphere
Meh. The current title is more original, and it's more emphasized in the song.
I think that's more of a starset title
breaking benjamin and starset are collaborating on this banger that'll be released in a few weeks
Who are here after the remake by Dustin and Ben ?
Awesome! Can you do more lyrics by Downplay and Starset? They're my favorite! Specially they're lead singer, Dustin Bates, Loves the Outer Space which make everything awesome!
Can't wait to hear the remaster soon
Definitely Breaking Benjamin-esque.
Perhaps that’s why they’re featured on the starset remake
Who else is listening to this in anticipation for the remake tomorrow?
Imma be honest, I had no idea this song already existed. I lowkey thought Starset made this song 😂😂😂
Same singer lol
This was sung by Dustin Bates who used be in Downplay. Then he created Starset. The song is just remade lol
Same singer??? Omg i just knew it now coz i realize that the voice is similar to someone and its dustin!! Wohoo!!
@@rajadayana15 almost ALL of “Transmissions” was supposed to be a Downplay Album, but the Record Label was Shafting the band big time… STARSET was actually a side project while some of the other Downplay members were going to University..
guessing the old label is feeling pretty stupid now… lmfao 😂
The Starset version was delayed until August 19th :(
🖤 Downplay 🖤
What a f'ing great song!
SPREAD THE MESSAGE STARSET!
1:29 This line always peaks my attention. It reminds me of Breaking Benjamin's "Anthem of the Angels", which is one of my favorite songs:
(Verse 2)
"Cold light above us,
Hope fills the heart and fades away
Skin white as winter,
_As the sky returns to gray"_
Just listened to STARSET collab love it!
I knew this song was familiar when Starset announced they were doing another version of this song with Breaking Benjamin.
Oh my God!!! 😍😍😍
"title subtitle"
and we come back here years later, I actually forgot about this song lmfao
This song belongs in starset lol
Dustin Bates is the lead singer of Donwplay and Starset.
@@darkoss551 That's the joke.
@@darkoss551 wow I had no idea. No wonder they are doing a cover with breaking Benjamin
Title
Subtitle 😂
lmao
Tbh I still like this one better. The new one has got some edm vibes which for most people would be likeable. But this one just gives me the chills.
ye but this one doesnt have any screams
Dustin needs to bring some more songs to Starset.
9 days till the remake YESSSSS
This song is already good, but man starset is another level of music WTH!
And now Dustin re released it as a Starset song with Ben/Breaking Benjamin(I'm not sure if the whole band with Aaron and the whole crew were featured) just to give us this damn banger and make it more banging!... So my take is he did not really scream in the song before compared to now which gave it more heaviness and adding Ben's gritty/pent up angst vocals makes it better.
AND IN STRANGE EONS EVEN DEATH WILL DIE!
Screaming would top this song off
sabia que lo habia que habia escuchado esta rola antes que en starset
Dustin Bates also sings for downplay??
Yes, Downplay was his previous band before forming Starset
Infact Downplay is on Hiatus till some of the band members finish University.. STARSET was the side project..
Almost all of “Transmissions” was actually intended to be a Downplay Album..
Best part is after 2:45
Agreed
Oh
Tomorrow!
Tbh i prefer this version of the song
Ah yes my favorite song title by subtitle.
Title
Subtitle
May I know how you forgot to type Title Subtitle at beginning?
It was a mistake. I had typed the title, but it must not have submitted. I did not notice until after it was uploaded and I no longer have the original file to fix it.
dark god it's ok at least your video is the best!
dark god which album is this?
1 9 4 thank you for the above comment and the album is Beyond the Machine
dark god thank you I really need this song
SOMEONE ASKED SCP 492 FOR DESIAL FUEL INSTED HE GOT THE ATMOSHPERE OF URAUNUS AND HE DIDED FROM SUFFOCATON/FREEZEING
Anyone else here after listening to the Starset B.B. version/cover I guess?
I think this song is the idea for their song ' stratosphere' from divisions
imagine waiting x-amount of years for BB to put out any kind of "new song", so starset re-releases this song featuring BB, Just to find out it's not new at all, and yet another rehash... well done BB...
The very first second of the video is "Title Subtitle", how does that kind of mistake slip?
Because it's a fan made lyric video
It's a fan video and they did put something there but it didn't save and they only caught it after it was uploaded and couldn't fix it since they didn't have the original file after they uploaded it
Where is this on iTunes?
They took it off in anticipation of the remake/collab dropping
Bro What's Name Of Font In This Video?
Broken glass. Here is the link www.dafont.com/broken-glass.font
dark god thank You very much!
Who's here after Starset released new version with Breaking Benjamin?
crei que habia sido una creacion de ambas bandas
Still better than the STARSET version. You just can't beat a Dustin Bates Vocals only experience.
wait starset just made this, how is this real? did they steal it? they are my favourite band ever so somebody please tell me they dident especially because this sounds the same
No. Starset didn't steal it. Dustin's (the lead singer of Starset) previous band was Downplay. Starset just recreated the song collaborating with Breaking Benjamin.
Starset stole it. Downplay's lead singer Dustin Bates currently has a lawsuit against Starset's lead singer Dustin Bates
@@IDontWantHandlesWTF i wonder who is gonna win... dustin starset or dustin downplay?
Much better than the Starset/BB Version. Idk why they had to take this version down from spotify as soon as they released the new version :/
