Aviators - Holy Ground (The Ascended) (Synthwave)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2017
- As Halloween is growing near and the Dystopian Fiction uploads are almost over, it's time for a cyberpunk synthwave concept piece. This song is a storyline setup for the album in a similar way that "Oblivion" set up the theme of Stargazers, and it's definitely dripping with 80's sci-fi inspiration. Specifically, this is a song about a holy war between cybernetic demigods and the subjects that they enslaved. It takes place in the post-apocalyptic Miami setting of the rest of Dystopian Fiction, and holds a theme of revolution and struggling to hold on to rights when they're being aggressively taken away. The song also sets up the events of Building Better Worlds, sowing the seeds of an uprising and preparing to rebuild what was lost.
This song and my other recent uploads are part of Dystopian Fiction, which you can find right here:

Lyrics:
Sickened by their equals
And disgusted by the signs
Burning down the records
Now they're taking back our minds
So untouchable
They rose above it all
Ascended
Livid in the moment
That division wasn't law
Tracing in the footsteps
Of what twisted leaders saw
Our true superiors
We are inferior
Surrendered
Here we stand on holy ground
I have heard the thunderous sound
Of millions saying wake up, set us free
I am not the enemy
They have found the worst in me
Bleed it out and drown them in the sea
Sickened by departure
From their wicked way of life
Gods among us fight
To keep their thrones out of the strife
So they threw us out
Sowed the seeds of doubt
Ascended
They made the noose the artist's savior
And the thinker's cold demise
Restless into cults
To tell the people pleasant lies
Our dystopian
Home we're rotting in
Offended
We are building better worlds
For the future to endure
Kill their misdirection
So we keep our minds pure
Fight for all the dreamers' love
Stargazers looking above
Fighting grave injustice
Knowing what we're made of
Here we stand on holy ground
Joining in the thunderous sound
Of new resistance in this bleeding city Видеоклипы
IT'S OVER AVIATORS I HAVE THE HOLY GROUND
you underestimate my power
@@knightrider5050 Dont try it!
A Star Wars reference? A surprise, to be sure. But a welcome one.
Best comment award goes to you
@@BackburingPyro I HATE YOU (SCREAMS IN PAIN)
Me: "What's 'Synthwave'?"
*listens to five seconds of the song*
Me: "I know what Synthwave is."
Really cool song by the way. For being seven minutes long it sure goes by quickly.
yup
You know those artists, where you can't help, but adore everything they release? Aviators sure is one of them.
Chrysalis imposter He sure is.
These artists never get enough attention too.
You should go kisten to Miracle of Sound to, but I'm sure you knom them already.
That intro and outro is my aesthetic.
....
What?
I love the Blade Runner-esque synths is what I meant.
Did anyone else hear the broken Chicago tornado siren at the end as it fades out? Or am I just crazy? Either way love the song, and tornado siren was a good addition :D
WinterPianoPrincess he uses it on this song and "Fantasy". It sounds so ominous, I love it😅
Its the same one for siren head!
It sounds dystopian
The siren in the end is the same one used for siren headdddd
7 and a half minutes of my life well spent.
Excuse me, it is actually 7 minutes and twenty-nine seconds of your life well spent. XD
Ryan Roy Considering how much I have rewatched this, it is a little more that 7 minutes and 29 seconds
already 42 likes ... sorry
I think we all know damn well we’ll listen to this enough to last a lifetime
I got like an hour into this song.
Why does this cloud look like Godzilla?
Who better to guard holy grounds?
This represents the Hunter's weird kaiju powers, like breathing fire.
you thought it was a cloud but you were wrong , it was me goDIOzilla
I get an Oblivion feel from this song and I love it!
Yo, I got chills when the song said "We are building better worlds." Great call back or call forward either way that was fantastic. Your music is truly the original stuff I have been waiting for.
And that “Stargazers looking above” name drop too, perfection
EpicFroggz ikr I love this guy
I wasn't surprised when I first heard that line. The whole album is meant to fit into the same sort of storyline as Building Better Worlds and Stargazers, so it makes sense that both would be referenced.
Are you sure the genre isn’t gospel, because I have a religious experience listening to this synth masterpiece!
EpicFroggz top kek
lol
Anyone else see Godzilla in the cloud on the left?
I see Godzilla in cloud.
Now I do... thanks
Excellent song, created a warm sensation in my chest area and though out my limbs with hair raised. Such energy here!
Oh, man. I actually had this on my mind this morning. The synths here are just beautiful, especially in the beginning and end. I do find myself getting "Pegasus Device" vibes from the bass, for some reason. And I'll say, this is an amazing song.
I just realized that the end of this song has siren head sounds!
Omg so amazing
From dark fantasy rock to sci-fi synth, you got it all don't you Aviators?
I only wish the vocals were a bit louder, but other than that it's a great song!
Update: Got a new headset, and sounds great! Disregard first statement.
I just realized the third Chorus contains multiple references to other songs by you...
You seem to remain one of my favorite artists, even throughout all these years
If someone ask me what is synthwave, i will show him/her this song. This is one of the best songs i have listened, thanks for that Avi.
Constellations too is another great example of synthwave (like synthwave/trance piece)
This is definitely one of my favourites from the album, it's just so good!
All these albums look like they are coming together as one story. I just luv it!
Definitely the best Synthwave song you've made. I love the BBW and Stargazers name drops. I really think this album has some of the best bridges you've ever done, 4:21 being one of the best ^^
I'm finally far enough to say that you, aviators, had made most of the songs I love and use as a inspiration for my story. This songs let my emotions explode while I make my story, and your voice fit so good to the main character. I love your songs and hope for more :)
oh holy ground
i see a monster in the clouds
who could this be who i found
it's godzilla back to the town
Game and Movie Community 😂😂😂
wait, don't you mean:
it's old Godzilla stomping around
Tokyo city like a big playground
@@Dunryan mad bars either way...
Almost two years on and this song still holds up. I love it so much.
Make that 3
Ever had a song that you somehow feel connected to on a spiritual level? For me, it's this one. Wow. What a masterpiece. Definitely my favorite song from Dystopian Fiction. Though the entire album is also pretty amazing!
I'm speechless... It's amazing ★w★
Lovely! Your newest albums give me inspiration for my dystopian fiction ideas always when I create and draw.
That is a beautiful description you got there. And song of course.
Wow, everything about this song sends chills down my spine, from the vocals to the synths! Can't wait to buy this, along with the rest of the album!
Hands down my favorite track off the album. It has those groovy drums reminiscent of old tracks like Losing Control, amazing synths, and memorable lyrics. Amazing job Avi!
Another beautiful song by Aviators! I love it!
This is just great, like, what else is there to say? You make so much great stuff it's truly hard to come up with new ways of praising your work!
This is... magnificent...
Love these futuristic pictures and soundtracks glade I pushed the thumbs up !
GAK, where to begin?! 😆 This song is AMAZING! 🤩 The verses tell a compelling and immersive story; the chorus evokes something awesome (in the literal sense); and the synth solos are crazy good (at least, I think so)! I love the harmony and longer notes of "Here we stand on holy ground"--it sounds like unified resolve, itself.
My one criticism is that the POV is confusing, at least to myself. The verses are clearly from the perspective of those who criticize the Ascended, but the chorus might switch sides with an air of self-righteousness. Who is standing on holy ground? Certainly the Ascended, by their definition, though the rebels could be acknowledging that the City of the Bleeding Sun is now the domain of self-proclaimed deities. Alternatively, the rebels could be saying, "No, you aren't gods--we're the ones who are actually righteous." The part, "I am not the enemy--they have found the worst in me," could be the Hunter explaining that she's different from the other Ascended, or it could be the Elder convinced that he's not the villain. "Bleed it out and drown them in the sea," definitely sounds more like the Ascended's point of view. However, it could also be the rebels thirsting for vengeance by way of giving the Ascended the same punishment that the Ascended gave dissenters. So, is Holy Ground (The Ascended) from the rebels point of view, the Hunter's, that of the Ascended, or some combination? 🤔 Did anyone else have confusion here?
I'm sorry... I broke the replay button.
Mini Brony Here's a new one! 0:00
+MCmaster2014 Thanks!
Mini Brony me too
Double right click
loop
Mini Brony It’s cool, I think we all did
Please continue uploading these videos. It is interesting to know what these songs are about instead of just making blind guesses.
Best song I've heard in 2017. It alone makes DF a masterpiece. And the way it's connected to Building Better Worlds and Oblivion...
OMG, incredible!
For anyone wondering the siren isnt the broken Chicago siren, the siren is a Federal Signal Modulator Alternative Wail
This is incredibly well timed. I just went in a huge 80's kick :D
Sounds awesome 10/10 🔥
One of the best songs off DysFic imo. The chorus (the build up thing and lyrics) sounds amazing, really giving it that epic feeling
Thank god, now I have something wonderful to dream about!
I can't be the only one who thought that the cloud was a Godzilla monster in the thumbnail.
HELL YEAAH!!! NEW AVIATORS SONG!!!!
Avi oh my gooood this song is amazing I love it
You must be on holy ground because

I would've been out of material by now if I made songs like you. how do you do it?
I love your work, it inspires me so much! Please keep it up! And also, do you make the art on the background of the videos? Cuz i love them too.
So yeah, I'll take 3 scifi book series to start out with and 2 scifi movies all based off your music and the vibes it gives. Oh, and a once every 10 years on a shooting star over the top scifi tv series.
All these stories with songs and all... just blow me away! *Not sexually -.-*
It’s all so amazing!!!! 😍🙌🏻😁
Nevermore Titan What do ya mean “not sexually”- wait
EpicFroggz ya that’s why I stated that 😅😂
Only Aviators can make me like 80's style music
I'm super late to the party, but anyone else hear "will we stand on holy ground" the second time he repeats the chorus?
Yes :D
WHY DIDN'T I GET A NOTIFICATION FOR THIS AAAAAAAA RUclips WHY
Now I know why I wasn't getting notified of when you upload..... It's because somehow I missed the subscribe button! I've been missing out but I have fixed my problem
Is it just me or does the cloud in the background look like godzilla?
not just you.
I have that image as my background on my computer XD
Why do I see Godzilla in the clouds to the left? And the city (plus another cloud behind the city) looks like Anguirus.
havent read the story thing but im guessing by the lyrics the story is somethin like: the leaders of a city (probably the cinematic future city) are realizing people are beginning to realize they dont like them and may revolt,so the leaders fight for some reason,and eventually kick everyone out of the city,everyone planning revenge or maybe a new city etc
Damn...
These effects tho...
EEEEEY. I live in Miami!
when you dab
@Aviators, can you tell me where can i get those backgrounds what you use in your videos?
Bulding better words charles weyland
That cloud in the background looks like godzilla.
♥️♥️
Do I hear Sirenhead at the very end there?
you do!
This song reminds me of the darksiders games
I want to know who made the background art.
boyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
What do you know that we dont ?
??
Almost sounds like Celldweller.
every time at the end of this all I hear is the sirenhead siren and like sirenhead didnt even exist when this song was made
is this form a novel, if so which one.
You got inside my head, I want you out! 'Cos I've been betrayed on holy ground!
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!!!!
Yo im here!
There was a city long long ago
this is great but, Its hard to hear your voice its being drowned out by the music if the vocals volume was raised a bit it would be easier to hear your voice. but thats just my opinion.
+Lord_ Xonaz tbh I feel like this is one of Avi’s songs where the real star is the music itself, and his voice is just providing a beautiful supplement to it. 😅
I agree, I feel the same way regarding Traveler’s song and Drive Away for example. It is like the only way he could and should improve...
Aren't you going to make a Halloween song? Please make it scary
Carnivore the killer He is making a whole Halloween EP! Lots of scary songs owo
EpicFroggz I doubt it he didn't do any last year and don't say he did because I've checked there were no scary or Halloween ralted songs in 2016 from this guy so 🤔 yeah
No reason to doubt it. We KNOW it's happening from watching his streams.
Henning A this guy stream's?
