    Listened to Starset since the first single off their first album dropped. I know they're new, but Starset had become my favorite band of all time. It's more than music. If you think I sound crazy, just listen you will understand

    • @shadowsoul1695
      @shadowsoul1695 7 лет назад +16

      Scott I definitely agree with you on this because I feel the same way. I just got into them when Vessels released. I didn't like it that much when I first heard it but after 10 listens, it finally hit me and it hit me harder than any other album I've heard this year and even the past 3 years. Phenomenal band and phenomenal albums they have released!!👍👍👍😎😂

    • @FireflyProductions
      @FireflyProductions 7 лет назад +15

      I definitely know what you mean. There's something about them that makes it more than just a band, more than just music. I don't even know what it is, but it's amazing. I've never followed a band more closely than Starset.

    • @MrMtcaleb
      @MrMtcaleb 6 лет назад +6

      Look up downplay, while Dustin only recently began starset it is not his first foray into music, downplay was his first band and it sounds like old starset, some songs were originally written and performed with downplay such as dark on me or my demons and even carnivore

    • @borntofly8947

    • @KingoftheSage
      @KingoftheSage 6 лет назад +2

      For me I think it's the lyrics that do it. I can relate (in my own way) to what's being said. And the music that's composed is outstanding! For me, it's like a therapy lesson with good music. Revealing things about myself that I couldn't not previously express or put into words, but they've done that for me... then put it into a poetic form, made it rhyme and added music. It's like my life is now a soundtrack..

    Starset seriously needs more recognition. Not only do they make amazing songs that have deep meaning and the music videos show a whole different side, Dustin Bates is a space nerd and here we support that.
    I _highly_ recommend people to listen to them because damn I love their music.

    This song pretty much tells how I feel about my father. He abused me all my life, which ended my training to being a US Marine. He got under my skin, in my head, and I didn't make it through boot camp because of him, as well as myself for letting it happen. Before I left for boot camp, he pulled a gun on my mom right in front of me. He's done so much damage to my family and I. He's brought the house down on us, and I'll never forgotten what he did to my family and I. His manipulation, his physical abusive side of which I was the punching bag, and his cruel ways of making my life hell. I know it was a simple construct of lyrics but it connects with how I feel about my father.

    In almost every way, this is a breakdown of my last attempt at love. From me finally letting go of the walls and trying to be open, to have a healthy relationship. To being used and neglected, turned into a monster, pathetic and weak.
    Able to see what went wrong, hindsight is always 20/20. All the things I ignored in favor of chasing the serotonin.
    You get to that point and you understand the why and the how, but you also know it all comes back on you. There's no one else to blame.

Chronic pain is the monster in my story. And their song Perfect Machine helped me get through my 1.5 hour MRI (was able to listen to them on pandora). Carnivore is another song I relate my pain to.

    What? "I'll drop the darkness in and watch it grow"????
    All my live I thought it was "I'll drop the tiniest seed and watch it grow"

    I always give my own meanings to songs...does anyone think the artist wants it that way or is it bad because it might not be the real meaning the artist intended

      hilde105 - Musicic is therapy. Not just for the listener, but for the artist who writes the music as well. Music has gotten me through some pretty tough times in my life, as I'm sure it has for many other people as well. An artists main objective when writing music, is to write songs that people can relate to and interpret in their own way. A lot of song lyrics are purposely written in a way that leaves the meaning open for interpretation by the listener. That's the beauty of music, the same song can have 10 different meanings to 10 different people.

      Dustin himself has said that he tries to write the songs so that although he might mean it one way, people can be able to interpret it and give their own meanings to it. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s something we do to try to connect us more to the music
