LYRICS:
Is this a new beginning?
Or are we close to the end?
Now my ears are ringing
It’s getting close
Is this a new beginning?
Or are we close to the end?
Now the room is spinning
It’s getting closer now
I’ve been waiting for the great leap forwards
I’m so impatient yeh I want to cut corners
I stare at the skyline
Reach for a lifeline
I shout into the great unknown…
If there’s anyone out there
Just give me a sign!
I shout into the great unknown…
Oh the beauty of the twilight glow
Oh the delusion of Vincent Van Gogh
A red sky at night
A shepherd’s flashlight
His beam sweeps like brushstrokes across the sky

IF THERE'S ANYONE OUT THERE JUST GIVE ME A SIGN
Hello
RONA is out there *This song is epic*
When you realise the band members haven't changed for 20 years you realise how fantastic they truly are.
Going from Sorry You're Not A Winner which seems to have been recorded in someones living room, to this. Wow
Sorry, You're not a winner
A banger especially even if it was created in a living room... check out Pendulum's cover of that song. The fact that Pendulum found this band's first few songs and RECREATED IT ❤
I think it was recorded in his houses garage .....
WoooW
The good ol dayz
& Still L💗ving this Band
yep, once again my subwoofer is trying to kill me through palpatic anurisms :D
Headphones are now fucked, running from a Denon amp to some "gaming" logitech headset through a converter, they are dying hard, i must invest...
Roses are red, violets are blue, and still I will be here, standing like statue
OOOWWW
BOOM! Idk if you stole this, but Tim is impressed.
@@TheTimster007 Lol, it's from one of their olllllddd songs.
It didn’t rhyme...
RED SKY AT NIGHT, A SHEPHERD’S FLESH LIGHT
Brad Sim hahahah!!!!
Brad Sim oh no 😂
Linkin Park wishes they had made this video in the 2000s.
Enter Shikari playing in Midgar. Get ready for Nobuo Uematsu orchestra playing in St Albans.
I was thinking Midgar lol hope shinra don't destroy the plates
Some comments are pointing out references to Blade Runner aesthetics, others - like these ones - are referring to Final Fantasy VII. These two universes are the first two things that pooped into my mind just as the video started.
@@SimoneCalloni they pooped into your mind?
0:58 Oh look, "Nihilist Blues" from BMTH easter egg
I though the same during the whole video!
Was directed by Polygon who did the music vid for Nihilist Blues as well.
Oh yeah can't believe I missed that
I am 26 years old. Deeply involved in music my entire life. This may be the most beautiful composition I’ve ever heard. Truly
Really?
@@WAZOOMA Really, I've also been deeply involved in music my entire life and I second that 100%.
@@_axyss fair enough everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, I quite like this song I'm just surprised anyone would call it the most beautiful composition ever, over a classical piece or just anything older. I wouldn't even really describe it as beautiful, it's pretty cool though. I'd probably chose a Leonard Cohen song or some 60s soul song as the most beautiful composition ever. For me, Adieu is by far the most beautiful thing Enter Shikari ever did.
Enter Shikari: THE GREAT UNKOWN
Directed by- Ridley Scott & Denis Villeneuve
add in Mamoru Oshii too. This is the exact color pallet of Ghost in the Shell.
I'd watch a cyberpunk Enter Shikari show honestly. Bonus points if Crossfaith joins in the effort
Along with T.I.N.A. the best song of the Album!
And Satellites? I think that one's energy is quite great too!
The Great Unknown, T.I.N.A. & satellites!
GAME CHANGER!! please go in this direction more!
1:00 "Paradise is in my soul, and i'm terrified i can't get out..." Always love videos polygon made
oh is this the same guy? that's sick
Oh no way!
this song represent the decade, "is this a new beginning or we are close to the end?"
3:31 STOP THE CLOCKS EASTER EGG!!!!
Thats Thor
@@aliefsuryo lol
Getting Neon Genesis Evangelion/Akira/Ghost in the Shell/Bladerunner vibes
I love it!
i get futuristic assassins creed and ghost in the shell vibes
Probably the best song on the album.
Thanks for being so awesome you guys, you’re all incredible. You’re making the world an easier place to live in when things get too much. Love you all ❤️
How has this only got 397,000 views?!?!! Absolute tune
Been a fan since take to the skies in 07 and I will always follow them on their journey. However I gotta say I do miss Rou's scream even if it was a little bit here and there. I loved that inhale scream he does so well!
Me too!
I just haven’t been able to get into their stuff properly since I think the third album? I absolutely loved TTTS, was a huge part of my teenage years, and Common Dreads. One problem I have with a lot of the newer stuff is the lyrics. They are always like super direct and obvious, like I really liked the mysterious weird lyrics in the earlier stuff. Not that I could do better, all my lyrics are super cringey, but for whatever reason I really don’t vibe with stuff like ‘outrage! I think I’m going on a rampage!’ Or whatever. Maybe it’s just cos I associate the early stuff with good times idk
@@WAZOOMA I kinda agree. Subtlety isn’t exactly their strong suit when it comes to lyrics. Bands like SOAD are about as direct in their message, but somehow manage to come off as less preachy and pretentious. But the thing with Shikari is that when they hit, they REALLY hit. And when they don’t, the music is still catchy enough to carry them.
@@Sealedaway Yeah definitely. my feeling is that Rou has a natural talent for writing cool weird lyrics, like the ones on TTS, the Zone etc. but when he started to try to get more pointed with his message the lyrics became a bit 'let wing sixth former poetry' level if you know what I mean
2:11 Vincent Van Gogh My favourite artist and his midnight painting
For some reason, the lyric “Red sky at night, a shepherd’s flashlight” really sticks with me. It just makes me feel really happy.
Same, that line always sticks with me! Very poetic, fantastic imagery.
I can´t tell how much Enter Shikari means to me. I´m struggling with a lot of things.. but everytime I hear this music it just makes happy
A little sneaky Stop the Clocks cameo
ShawnDWMC 3:31
The first impression: "Torn Apart" updated version
This song and TINA are the best tracks on this album.
Amazing Sound, Amazing Band 😍
This song makes me cry... it's like you're crying out in desperation but no one could hear you... This song is a whole mood and people complain about it... this was my top 5 songs to listen to on Spotify and when I go to the field with the Army, I like to listen to this stuff lol
It’s getting closer now ;”)
Me too
I now
It is :)
T.I.N.A or Marionettes video would be awesome
or satellites
The pressure`s on
THIS. SO MUCH.
Waltzing off the Face of the Earth (I) has to get one too
tina!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!! This is definitely a new beginning!
AND STILL WE WILL BE HERE!
I always hear the line from The Sights whenever I see this song title
That piano intro uses the same chords as Frozen "Let it go". Way to make an actually good song with these chords, this is epic
Now my ears are ringing
It's getting close...
I shout into the great unknown
Best song on the record! Loads of trance energy!
That's exactly what i imagined in my head when listening to this song before.
This song is so good. I absolutely enjoyed listening to this! 💗🤘😄
I like the visuals but I feel as though the camera movements are too slow to really match the energy of the song
Same. It feels like the video is just way too slow
In my head, the video I had imagined was more of a storytelling, high energy feel. This just kills it a bit.
I personally miss music videos such as Last Garrison, you can never go wrong with a high energy video like that
I feel that it does actually fit, more on a metaphorical level though.
I fill like it fits ideal. Like its Bladeruner cinema. some time before i would say same as you . but now i know how to feel video like this
Amazing video guys, love love love the blade runner aesthetic. The editing didn't quite much the energy of the song, but loved the vibe.
When you think these guys cant get any better - they pull it out of the bloody bag! Immense! Stay Safe All! 🤟🙏
Massive Final Fantasy 7 Remake vibe here
And awesome video overall
I listened to this song when it first came out in may but am only really just now taking into account how excellent it is.
This feels more like a tech demo than a music video. Every shot lasts at least 10 seconds. I like the bit where the band hologram played on the rooftops, but it came way too late and was over too quickly. That should've been the consistent concept, instead the whole thing just felt like an impressive but unremarkable cyberpunk world. Great song though
I thought exactly the same
Looks just like an architectural demo reel or something , the pans are super slow and unrelated to the rythm of the music
There were some cool shots but nothing spectacular for me
I was thinking the same! I like the bit where it speeds up on that road (?) segment, but the rest was just a bit too slow. :(
100%. The music video doesnt convey the emotion of the track at all and just slowely moves around. Swap the track for some slow synth-heavy ambient and i think it will work really well, but it doesnt really mesh well with the song they chose for it.
To be fair though, this was filmed in lockdown!
Rhiannon Elliott Well yes, but I don’t think there was anything wrong with the concept. The cinematography’s the issue, and that’s mostly down to directing choices.
I mean, if you take Slipshod/Price on your Head animated videos, or the Undercover Agents pixel video, they may not be technically as amazing as this but they’re so compelling because they’re vibrant, variant and suit the music perfectly. This kinda feels divorced from the song and uninspired
I love cyberpunk, and I love Enter Shikari. This is a good day for me! 😁
The guys kicked ass in Leeds last night. Still feeling it today.
I legit hope we get a music video for every song on the album. Every track was killer. Loved the vibe of the video, the slow, post-apocalyptic cyberpunk vibe made the song feel larger than life
I agree, the fact it is slower makes it even better!
you liked the whole album? I'll be honest, I couldn't even make it all the way through :/
@@elainemalmsten7862 The whole albums great, its different sure but damn its well crafted and the whole album has a sort of neistche vibe to it
Great video guys, loved the cyberpunk / blade runner vibes and the fact there are no living beings in the video, goes with the song!
New favorite band where have I been
One of my favorite music videos of all time for sure
Serious Blade Runner vibes, love it
Saw you live in Oberhausen yesterday and oh guys, this is an amazing opening song! Very memorable and man, the lightshow you have going now is stellar too.
Some youtuber from STARSET page pointed me out to this band and now I am here. This songs good
Is this a new beginning?
Or are we close to the end?
@@gbassboy2176 Now my ears are ringing (ringing, ringing)
Perfect
Love how the video plays with the expectations. Shikari never short of a surprise. The gloomy mood is well matched with the slow speed of the shots. Great analogy in the sense that things might get dark in future, but we still have the chance to slow things down, maybe try something new as a society. Well done.
Love this band 💗
I’d love it if Enter Shikari did a music video competition. Get fans to create visuals for songs off the new album.
Love the visuals here just wish the editing was tighter and there was more of an underlying narrative - I liked the idea that this empty world actually had people coming together at the end to watch the ES neon monoliths...
Genius musicians! Great song.
Strong contender for best tune off the new album. Can't wait 😁
ЛАЙК АВАНСОМ! ;2
карма пасьянсом
Love the bit in the middle with the virtual band all playing their parts
Peeps stop with the dissection - this is incredible work - @POLYGON this is amazing!!!
You Music has really helped me through some very dark times and now my son loves you as much as I do giving us common ground and a love for great music. Thank you
Under no circumstances can you meet up to shoot a music video.
Enter shikari: holograms
This is so relevant to everything going on in the world and me, thank you so much for putting this out to us to enjoy!
tbh this felt more like the background visuals on a screen at a concert than it did a music video. great song though, one of my favs from the album.
Enter shikari大好き!
And now I will watch AUTOMATA again. Brilliant Film in my opinion
Love you guys, love this song so much!!!!! Want to see thi live!!!
OPEN THIS PIT UP!
I like rock, I like electric, I love Enter Shikari
100 times on repeating!!!And it's not enough!!!!!!
Did anyone else notice the shot of Rou with glowing eyes from Stop The Clocks? It zoomed by during the last "is there anyone one THERE" at 3:31
If Polygon had played more with the lights according to the rhythm of the music and had used more of his hologram recourse, it would have been more harmonious, the song is good and the animation too. I'm just saying they had the resources to do something more creative and Shikari had already given them a good song. even so I already gave it play several times and a fabulous I like it
It looks to me like they already had that dystopian city made as a showcase and then they was like „yeah let’s make a music video out of it“ so they just added in some holograms but kept the rest as it was...
@@artival22 everything you see on screen was made for this video
@@POLYGON1993 I like it! I saw that the members recorded this at their homes with only a black backdrop. It's impressive. Nice job!
Le son est monstrueux !!! Il est instantanément culte. Ce riff ! Ce son ! Ces paroles ! Ce rythme !!!
A mettre pendant mes vadrouille à NightCity !
I love this song. By far my favorite from the album.
This is a amazing song I love it
I really wish you had played this on your residency shows. I went to all 3 legs in Wolves; really wanted to hear this and T.I.N.A. Two of your best songs ever!
So Cool 🙌🙌🙌🙌😍😍💜
So impatient ya I wanna cut corners!
Wooow that video is awesome! Director take a bloody bow
nice graphics ! i relay expected something like this but more in a space station setting ^^
I USE THIS SONG FOR EVERY HARD BOSS FIGHT IN EVERY GAME TO OVERCOME
So underrated, song is too good!!
Enter Shikari are awake
Clever video!
Awesome man, I need it
This track samples “no good start the dance” by the prodigy in case you didn’t recognise it !
this song goes so friggin hard man, a masterpiece in my oppinion.
Just give me a (neon) sign.
Love the Bladerunner/Ghost in the Shell vibes
So excited for Alexandra Palace in November!! Something amazing to look forward to 😁
Love it! Clips of the band from their homes! Flash of Rou from the stop the clocks video at the end there too.
O my god, it's my birthday May 12th, best present ever!
Happy Birthday))
Mine too, happy bday xd
I'm really liking Shikari right now!! This and the Spark with them trying new things, bringing back the dramatic highs that kickstarted it all. Well done lads
An absolute banger!!
so some people are saying the video doesn't fit the song, but i feel like its more conveying the emptyness of the "world" they're in rather than being a flashy cool video that fits with the ryhtum of the song
Woooooow. This song is amazing
i like
