I don’t know why, but I love how a lot of older anime had a more gritty and pseudo-realistic style to them, and marred with the intense colors and bat-shit insane visuals makes them so intriguing. Welp, now I have more shit to add to the “watch later” list.

@Kekulous well, I'll take abstract and satisfying electronic music over nu-metal any day my friend. Other metal genres are also better too so... I don't disagree with you, but your comment also didn't change my opinion on the subject.
Modern anime has been industrialized and of course, any anime with a weekly or monthly release would make shortcuts to release their product. I'm disappointed that this type of effort and technique is no longer required in production. It's just not worth it for the industry to make money.
This is part of a sci fi anthology film called Neo Tokyo from 1987. It had 3 different shorts by 3 different directors. This one is called Running Man and it was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, who also directed Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust. He's also the co-founder of Madhouse.
This song immediately transports me to a different world, that is at the same time fascinating, and wonderful, but extremely dystopian, and that somehow makes me feel nostalgic for it.
Yeah exactly. Unsettling but very comforting kinda. Kind of a beauty behind the pain thing. Very dark but makes you kinda feel comfortable in the darkness
@@jakeohalloran952 Yeah, I was referring to the fact that from late 80s to the early 2000s was the realism era of japanese animation And same, that period really is gold
It's 2056, an 87 year old is lying in a hospice bed, plagued with dimentia. The final things going through their mind is a vague recolection of playing arcade games in the 1980s.
I discovered this song/video over 7 years ago and I was never able to find it again. I even doubted I had actually watched it. Tonight I came across it and it is the best feeling ever! This is a masterpiece.
There was a song used in another video that used one of the same sounds as this. I was studying for mid-terms and couldnt focus bc it was bothering me so much not knowing where i had heard it lol
Interesting the sounds picked are verry violent yet the composition doesnt invoke hate or violence but rather serenity? Its like falling from a building to death, but slowly and gently
This makes me feel like I'm on a drive to nowhere, speeding down an empty highway, going dangerously fast, yet feeling like everything is moving in slow motion. It's 3am. The city is asleep, but I'm awake trying to accept how nothing in my life will ever be the same.
thank you finally somebody knows what i mean..lol its hard to descirbe his music or be ready for it i was at a particular moment in my life i needed it funny someone a long time ago showed me him and i wasnt ready i remember not liking it at first now i love him cant get enough its funny young mind i had i really had no clue then,
the sheer intensity of this has stuck with me for years now. I'm commenting after all this time because this particular song and segment always lurks deep in the darker thoughts of my mind, waiting for me to forget just to remember again - the combination of the art and the song leave me completely breathless and numb in the mind still after 9 years. I cannot fathom a deeper, more meaningful combination of media.

Well said. I shared this track with some of my freinds who suffer from PTSD. They said the same thing, it sent their anxiety sky high but turned it up. Other worldly
Ahh yes..one of the key experiences of a life well lived. All souls would do well to experience that at least once in their lifetime here.. Threre is a certain alchemy to it, which enhances everything thereafter.. if only you can surrender to its message and not resist its' unpleasantness
Probably the best combination of video and music I've ever seen. As if they were made for each other from the very beginning, not separated by 20 years.
This animation is the best and most intricate style of animation there is, involving more hours of work than any other type. The movie was highly underrated and should go down as one of the best in animation history. Something about riding the last stand is amazing
*Yeah* *Retro Anime from the video its from "Neo Tokyo" 1987 Segment directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri of Ninja Scroll fame.* *i reccomend you guys watch some like akira / metropolis (2001) / ghost in the shell / kimagure orange road / future war 1980x / geno cyber / megalobox / lain* *serial experiments / Cowboy Bebop / The Animatrix / Steamboy / Freedom / Memories*
I think I know what you mean. It feels validating because it's like the music is a friend who "understands". Sometimes you need to let yourself be drenched in the feeling before it can pass.
Did this last week, friend has a huge bass in his car, and it was so loud driving down a road in the middle of nowhere with the windows down at 3am. It felt like it was tearing at my chest and the high intensified it. Highly recommended.
1:10 That expression he makes as he extends past his physical limits. It's not hesitation but it reads something like a moment of fear. This is beautifully edited and it seems to tell an even more interesting story than the source.
MetaCitizen I only learned of Lorn 1 1/2 days ago on Rage, Australia's music video show. I have listened to this track at least 6 times, and sent the video to all of my friends. I can't get enough of this.
lorn i just discovered it and it feels like music i have heard before maybe in another life. i swear i have heard these before even though i just discovered them.
This music tingles that certain part of my brain. The part that starts sparking up when you think too long about he concept of darkness. The one that sparks up when you try to understand the size of the universes around us. It’s like the fear of the unknown mixed with this helplessness and intimidation that whatever is out there, is better at surviving than you are. That it knows more somehow. The video is awesome and really extends this feeling but just. My god. There’s something absolutely unsettling about listening to this with nothing but your own thoughts too.
Excellent comment. English is not my first language, so I can't put it into words as good as you did. But this is what I associate with the vibe this song gives me: Are you really ready for the world out there? Are you going to make it? Are you ready to face your own death one certain day?
This gives me a more hopeless dismal and truly gray feeling, not yet black, yet decidedly very much so darker than white, despondent dreary and most of all.. Dingy. It feels ironically despite it's dystopian aura, very much so real
Nothing is more motivating than the impending sense of doom. Living our lives, we forget about our own demise, we forget about the fact that all of us will eventually die. When death comes closer, we can just regret that we haven't done more, that we can't do more. How many times do we live shallow, searching for cheap pleasures instead of fighting for what we truly care? Whenever I hear this song, it just makes me a bit more motivated to sort my life because the worst sin someone can do is not trying to fulfil his own potential. The guy in the anime chased his dream so much he eventually tried to catch his future self... . This song is more about life than death. We live cause we die.
I remember that day, when i found this track. I was sitting on window sill and watched the city from high building, outside the window was rainy. And this track fullfilled all that, what was happening in the city.

Sometimes I like to lay in bed at night, when everyones asleep and not a single foreign sound can be heard, apart from the faint buzzing in my lights, my heartbeat and this song playing quietly on my phone beside me. Sometimes its great to have a minute of silence to yourself, when no one can say anything to hurt you, even my thoughts go silent. Sometimes I let a tear roll down, to remind myself I have come this far, and I will continue to go further. Sorry guys, Im feeling nostalgic tonight...
Vance Apollo I'm doing that right now. It's 5am and quiet enough that I can hear my heart beating. This music really complements the melange of silence.
In my opinion, the man lost his soul by going over the speed limit, and his body continued to drive until he went around in a loop and caught up with his soul, and outstripped himself until he finally died.
The anime is a short for the Running Man. A racer with telekinesis. The story is told from the narrators', a writer, point of view. It is one of the best ever made. The music at the end is haunting.
No, there are 3 segments and this segment ("Running Man") was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and not Katsuhiro Ōtomo. Katsuhiro directed the third segment ("Construction Cancellation Order").
To anyone feeling lost or alone and don't think they can proceed with life, just take a deep breath and hold it down. You ain't alone. Thank you Lorn for helping me through some of my darkest hours.
This is so insane. This makes me feel like im dying and getting motivated at the same time. Perfect music+sound mix goddamn it im so flashed! Nice work man, nice work!!!!
This song and this AMV must always exist on the internet. I refuse to accept a reality where this video has been scrubbed from youtube and is no longer present on the internet. When that day comes, the remaining scraps of my tattered soul shall linger no more in this realm and dissipate into the cold harsh wind... LongLiveLorn.
That feeling of dread after realizing the meaninglessness of existing and that you're more likely trapped in hell rather than anything remotely related to paradise.
I keep coming back. Lorn did something with this song and Acid Rain that will make you bleed emotion. There's no other electronic artist like him. I dare say no other artist like him. A conduit drawing out something suppressed. No words really fully describe it.
In short: The seasoned undefeated champion “Zack Hugh” of the “Death Circus” has won yet another victory. His trick? While all other drivers are physically there. Zack uses telekinesis to control his car, and a cyborg driver... In this scene: The race is won, and the champ remains undefeated. After all of the other drivers have left the track. Zack goes for a victory lap. He continues to drive on, tearing around the track. A ghost driver suddenly appears. There can only be one champion.. Even after his body is pushed past its ultimate physical limit.. He pushes even further, past death to finish the race. They say it was a ghost of his past self he saw out there on that track...
Found Lorn on Christmas Eve (technically christmas) at 3am my Junior year of high-school, there will never be an artist to emotionally and physically effect me more than Lorn. In probably the most vulnerable moment of my entire life, I was saved by the most melancholic sounds to have ever been produced. I cannot explain how much this music means to me, Thank You! btw Anvil is the best song, but this is the best vid B)
Omg same. I've followed his work since then... and it's really inspired my general artistic mood and style ever since. It's like this grungy, gritty, textural thing that just stays with u. It's so cool.
When I'm at home on my day of and I receive the call from my command stating that the team is being activated to handle whatever problem there is that requires our expertise. After telling my family I love them very much and kissing them goodbye, I get in my car and play this track. As I proceed down the highway, I think about my training and all the dangers of the entering the unknown and how I'm ready to face whatever there is before me. This song sets the tone for my mind and puts me in the game. Thank you for uploading! Great Track!
It always feels like LORN and their music videos are just a small cutout of something bigger. Their musictracks sound like previews taken right from the middle of a bigger work and their videos could as well be obscure full length movies. It definitely hits a spot.
Lorn songs are often like a black rose. Only those who have crossed the darkness can see the full beauty of this rose and still you prick yourself with the thorn. the pain doesn't hurt that much.
I came across Lorn in a time where I was going through some dark shit. The melancholic vibe in this and many other Lorn songs made it slightly easyer to cope with pointless existance.
*Retro Anime from the video its from "Neo Tokyo" 1987 Segment directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri of Ninja Scroll fame.* *i reccomend you guys watch some like akira / metropolis (2001) / ghost in the shell / kimagure orange road / future war 1980x / geno cyber / megalobox / lain* *serial experiments / Cowboy Bebop / The Animatrix / Steamboy / Freedom / Memories*
Madhouse studios anime is the best catalogue of anime ever. Paprika, Perfect blue, ninja scroll, animatrix, vampire hunter D, all the cyberpunk stuff including this, mark my words all that will be the new trend in Hollywood fo sho
Two artists, separated by decades but unified in what their art has accomplished. Lorn was born to make Sega Sunset edit for Neo Tokyo. Your soul just feels it. This is glorious. I’m burning, and as you resonate with their art, resonate with me, let’s burn it all out, until we are ones who burn.
I see so many different translations to this video. Unavoidable tragedy is a big one, however, I also see pushing past our limits. Taking ourselves to extremes that we aren't supposed to go but as humans we inevitably do. I see addiction, yearning for the highest high but that addiction kills you in the end. There's so much to these Lorn videos, truly it's art 🎨 😍
Thanks, I actually was unaware of amv's as a popular trend before I did this, but watch Neotokyo for sure, another really good anime anthology is "Memories" watch both, and listen to more from Lorn, he composed half the music for the new Killzone game as well.
I, likewise, have gotten the urge to acquaint myself with this Anime of which I have never heard of before after watching this very well-composed AMV. Might I also add, this song, especially the distorted guitar sound, reminds me of the movie Dead Man, with a soundtrack written by Neil Young.
Pterodactyl I just watched it, it don't think it's better at all. The explosions on beat breaks are cool, but that mirror effect is stupid and the build up and editing quality of this video is 100x better.
This song isn't just sad--it literally hurts to listen to. Maybe it's the heartbreaking video that pairs so well with it, but just listening to it takes me beyond crying and into something much more soul-wrenching.
+Rin Tohsaka Not sure where you're from but censorship in the UK 80s was very strict from the BBFC who pretty much banned and cut every video nasty. Today, movies get away with a lot more, a 12a is more like a 15. I don't know what Japans censorship is like or if anyghing has changed but there has certainly been a saturation on anime.
I get full body goosebumps and chills up and down my spine and my mind goes fuzzy every time this song plays. and i don't mind it one bit. not to mention the visuals are beautiful and go so well with the song.
![Perturbator - Death squad (Unofficial Videoclip) [REUPLOAD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_26VnMsLg9U/mqdefault.jpg)
This type of anime artsytle needs a revival tbh. There's a certain feel to them that just makes them special
yep like when the guys cigarette drops.
Just gimme a pen and paper and some paintbrushes and you got yourself a deal!
Probably because a lot of anime was hand drawn back then, and they didn’t rely too much on flash and photoshop animation
Yippers i agree!

Much like most of his music... This one hits me right in the gut!💜
This music sounds like a living organism, futuristic and ancient at the same time. Lorn is a genius. Period.
I just found lorn....his music has so much emotion it's crazy...you can feel it tells a story without any words...
You should do gaming or something
thank you finally somebody knows what i mean..lol its hard to descirbe his music or be ready for it i was at a particular moment in my life i needed it funny someone a long time ago showed me him and i wasnt ready i remember not liking it at first now i love him cant get enough its funny young mind i had i really had no clue then,
by the way if you like lorn you should hear apparat omg.........
Your f**&king right.........
Lorn's music is like surreal raw emotion..... Unexplainable and makes you feel....
Listen to some coil and further back throbbing gristle and you will see where he gets his style.

Whenever im in a bad state I come here and this makes me feel.... somehow worse yet, also somehow, in a good way.
Let the hate baptize you.
+BaneDain That pretty much sums up "Lorn" as a whole I reckon.
No, it's not hate. Its some kind of realization you didn't want to have, but must to...
I think I know what you mean. It feels validating because it's like the music is a friend who "understands". Sometimes you need to let yourself be drenched in the feeling before it can pass.
It feels good momentarily, but I don't think it would be good for you to dwell in such a darkened state for any lengthy period of time.
listening to this at night while driving is just great but it feels so dark
+antonyb80 Certainly when you light one if you know what I mean. Put this on repeat.
+Jesus Isalie haha yesssss definitely
favouriting it just so I can try that
really would like to do this
Did this last week, friend has a huge bass in his car, and it was so loud driving down a road in the middle of nowhere with the windows down at 3am. It felt like it was tearing at my chest and the high intensified it. Highly recommended.
I like the part where it goes Doo-di-doo BWOOOOOOOOOOOM
Beep boo boo bop?
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
heheh
You killed me ! :D
honestly, that's what everyone's here for. lol
1:10 That expression he makes as he extends past his physical limits. It's not hesitation but it reads something like a moment of fear.
This is beautifully edited and it seems to tell an even more interesting story than the source.
He's being psychically controlled to his death. Movie; Neo Tokyo (1987)
It's 100% hand drawn btw. A real master work.
I completely agree, you can literally FEEL the anxiety
100,000 views! You guys are insane. I'll do a new lorn video this weekend for you all.
For the record, I did 3 of them. 😁
MetaCitizen your doing a great job.lorn is amazing :)
MetaCitizen I only learned of Lorn 1 1/2 days ago on Rage, Australia's music video show. I have listened to this track at least 6 times, and sent the video to all of my friends. I can't get enough of this.
+MetaCitizen this should have double the views
+MetaCitizen sub to my channel please
Goosebumps. I am staying here.
Weird to see you here, you have a good taste sir :)
lol, trolski xD
ah, i see you're a man of culture as well (;

God i just love the older style of anime, such a high contrast between the low saturation of the normal scenery colors and the neons everywhere else.
Corrodan Anime had less of a budget back then and wasn’t as popular around the world why did the animation change
@@magicman3163 Once anime hit mainstream, lazy and greedy companies churn out as much as they can in the shortest time period for more profit.
there is an anime coming out that has a modern and 80s/90s artstyle mix it looks very cool. Name: *Cyberpunk Edgerunners*
Discovered this during acid trip. I felt the intensity of this in my bones - not music anymore but emotion
lorn i just discovered it and it feels like music i have heard before maybe in another life. i swear i have heard these before even though i just discovered them.
im not happy y
ExEDE exactly
Its like you can picture and feel an image that is within' your mind. A place where have been or going to be. That is some deep thinking haha
Gaby V That's crazy, I feel the same way!!!
off topic but A+ ERASED profile picture
This music tingles that certain part of my brain. The part that starts sparking up when you think too long about he concept of darkness. The one that sparks up when you try to understand the size of the universes around us. It’s like the fear of the unknown mixed with this helplessness and intimidation that whatever is out there, is better at surviving than you are. That it knows more somehow. The video is awesome and really extends this feeling but just. My god. There’s something absolutely unsettling about listening to this with nothing but your own thoughts too.
Excellent comment. English is not my first language, so I can't put it into words as good as you did. But this is what I associate with the vibe this song gives me: Are you really ready for the world out there? Are you going to make it? Are you ready to face your own death one certain day?
This gives me a more hopeless dismal and truly gray feeling, not yet black, yet decidedly very much so darker than white, despondent dreary and most of all.. Dingy. It feels ironically despite it's dystopian aura, very much so real
Yes, you perfectly described it.
I would love to know more people like you with excellent feeling of moment and understading conecpts of unknow reality. Thank you for your comment !
Local man literally too angry to die.
And too angry to lose.
hes dead
@@lugi7372 After the car blow up. I am fully sure he was alive even they thought he was dead in the control room.
What's Doomguy doing here?
What's guts doing here
I can't listen to this song without thinking of these visuals. Totally matched the late 80s anime style.
+Ronald Jones Yep, incredible how well it fits
this video makes me feel like im gonna die.
+Cyphox You will, at some point.
fair enough
+Cyphox But while you're here, fuck it.
+Cyphox Me too. Me hace sentir en una depresión existencial total. (It makes me feel in a total existential depression.)
What?
Nothing is more motivating than the impending sense of doom. Living our lives, we forget about our own demise, we forget about the fact that all of us will eventually die. When death comes closer, we can just regret that we haven't done more, that we can't do more. How many times do we live shallow, searching for cheap pleasures instead of fighting for what we truly care? Whenever I hear this song, it just makes me a bit more motivated to sort my life because the worst sin someone can do is not trying to fulfil his own potential. The guy in the anime chased his dream so much he eventually tried to catch his future self... . This song is more about life than death. We live cause we die.
That’s cool In all but I found this song because of the doge sex meme
@@odinbodin244 ?
@@odinbodin244 saaame bruh lmao
Do we forget? I feel like you got that from some shakespeare play
I feel yah. Discipline is rewarding.
Something about this song/video invokes me with eternal dread. Yet I always find myself coming back to it
That's the magic of it. Lorn is pretty good at it.
I remember that day, when i found this track.
I was sitting on window sill and watched the city from high building, outside the window was rainy. And this track fullfilled all that, what was happening in the city.
There's this certain feel to this anime artstyle. And that's because it is hand drawn. That just gives it so much soul. Every line tells a story.
Heavy Metal
so happy You Tube turned me onto Lorn. This moody electronic stuff really excites me. Keep if up Lorn.
D. C. Yeah I jerk off to it too
The intensity of the animation really adds to the depth of the song to create something unique. This is mindblowing
Meaning of the video - Zack Hugh (Banjō Ginga) is the titular "Running Man," the undefeated champion of the "Death Circus" racing circuit and has raced for 10 years. Competitors race in high-speed Formula One-like craft, and spectators bet on the lives of these people for huge winnings. A Marlowe-esque reporter (Masane Tsukayama/Michael McConnohie) is sent to interview the mysterious Zack outside of the track and watches one of his races. He soon discovers Hugh has telekinetic abilities which he uses to destroy the other racers, after quietly observing him in the dark chronically over-using a training interface inside his penthouse. As the race ends in his favor, the monitors in the pit displays "LIFE FUNCTIONS TERMINATED." Mysteriously, though seemingly dead, Hugh continues around the track and is overtaken by a spectral racer. He attempts to employ the same strategy, straining to destroy the opponent, but in truth it is against his own mind. The force of the telekinesis is directed inward which rapidly tears both Hugh and his car apart. The Death Circus is permanently shut down afterwards; the reporter believing the event's true draw was the spectators need to see how long Hugh could beat death

thanks for that!
I was wondering about the meaning of the short for over 6 months.
You nailed it! great work, Loved this movie btw
Ameet Baliga the
Badass
This video just goes so well with this track.
Sometimes I like to lay in bed at night, when everyones asleep and not a single foreign sound can be heard, apart from the faint buzzing in my lights, my heartbeat and this song playing quietly on my phone beside me. Sometimes its great to have a minute of silence to yourself, when no one can say anything to hurt you, even my thoughts go silent. Sometimes I let a tear roll down, to remind myself I have come this far, and I will continue to go further. Sorry guys, Im feeling nostalgic tonight...
You know those nights when its so silent you can almost hear yourself think?
same, let's all feel nostalgic together lol
Vance Apollo I'm doing that right now. It's 5am and quiet enough that I can hear my heart beating. This music really complements the melange of silence.
👌🏽
Sometimes i listen to this and touch myself innapropriately in public..........
In my opinion, the man lost his soul by going over the speed limit, and his body continued to drive until he went around in a loop and caught up with his soul, and outstripped himself until he finally died.
The anime is a short for the Running Man. A racer with telekinesis. The story is told from the narrators', a writer, point of view. It is one of the best ever made. The music at the end is haunting.
This has an Akira vibe to it.
thinking the same thing
the music too
This is part of a small movie from back in the 90s called Neo Tokyo, check it out!
omg same director!!!!! now it all makes sense, thanksssss
No, there are 3 segments and this segment ("Running Man") was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and not Katsuhiro Ōtomo.
Katsuhiro directed the third segment ("Construction Cancellation Order").
It goes so well together, I begin to believe they are of the same origin. Great job.
To anyone feeling lost or alone and don't think they can proceed with life, just take a deep breath and hold it down. You ain't alone.
Thank you Lorn for helping me through some of my darkest hours.
I just spent 3 straight hours looking for this music video. Time well spent.
The animation is from a movie of compiled shorts called Neo Tokyo that was produced in 1987.
This is so insane. This makes me feel like im dying and getting motivated at the same time. Perfect music+sound mix goddamn it im so flashed! Nice work man, nice work!!!!
so you're motivated to die? wow
This song and this AMV must always exist on the internet. I refuse to accept a reality where this video has been scrubbed from youtube and is no longer present on the internet. When that day comes, the remaining scraps of my tattered soul shall linger no more in this realm and dissipate into the cold harsh wind...
LongLiveLorn.
That feeling of dread after realizing the meaninglessness of existing and that you're more likely trapped in hell rather than anything remotely related to paradise.
>When a patch nerfs your best car and your time trial ghost is now undefeatable.
most underrated comment here
Thats a scary concept
if you're going through hell, keep going
sorry signs They'll kill you...
sorry signs if you are going through hell, be there for a reason xD
sorry signs 😂🙏
You know what the devil said about hell? "Welcome to hell! Who gives a shit!".
Sorry signs
I keep coming back. Lorn did something with this song and Acid Rain that will make you bleed emotion.
There's no other electronic artist like him. I dare say no other artist like him.
A conduit drawing out something suppressed.
No words really fully describe it.
In short: The seasoned undefeated champion “Zack Hugh” of the “Death Circus” has won yet another victory.
His trick? While all other drivers are physically there. Zack uses telekinesis to control his car, and a cyborg driver...
In this scene:
The race is won, and the champ remains undefeated.
After all of the other drivers have left the track. Zack goes for a victory lap.
He continues to drive on, tearing around the track.
A ghost driver suddenly appears.
There can only be one champion..
Even after his body is pushed past its ultimate physical limit.. He pushes even further, past death to finish the race.
They say it was a ghost of his past self he saw out there on that track...
@Ivan Jimenez it's. In. The. Description.
Ivan Jimenez Neo Tokyo. The running man.
@Ivan Jimenez your. Welcome. Not. Smart. At. All.
The Anime is called "Neo Tokyo"
He wasted his life for nothing if we are being honest.
Found Lorn on Christmas Eve (technically christmas) at 3am my Junior year of high-school, there will never be an artist to emotionally and physically effect me more than Lorn. In probably the most vulnerable moment of my entire life, I was saved by the most melancholic sounds to have ever been produced. I cannot explain how much this music means to me, Thank You!
btw Anvil is the best song, but this is the best vid B)
It has meaning, I'm glad you found comfort in it.
Omg same. I've followed his work since then... and it's really inspired my general artistic mood and style ever since. It's like this grungy, gritty, textural thing that just stays with u. It's so cool.
Acid Rain for me but I definitely see what you mean
This is amazing. I feel the same and ALSO YES. Anvil is the best one in my opinion as well !!
When I'm at home on my day of and I receive the call from my command stating that the team is being activated to handle whatever problem there is that requires our expertise.
After telling my family I love them very much and kissing them goodbye, I get in my car and play this track. As I proceed down the highway, I think about my training and all the dangers of the entering the unknown and how I'm ready to face whatever there is before me.
This song sets the tone for my mind and puts me in the game.
Thank you for uploading!
Great Track!
GRiMFoX11 sounds intense, stay strong and be safe out there.
Thanks F.O.G for sending me here. Great song.
this has to be one of the most epic music - video combinations ever. Pure bladerunner feeling
It always feels like LORN and their music videos are just a small cutout of something bigger. Their musictracks sound like previews taken right from the middle of a bigger work and their videos could as well be obscure full length movies. It definitely hits a spot.
Where's my 3AM gang at
They sleepin
almost
1:30 am here, but close enough.
Well that's weird af. It's 3:01 am...
3:23 AM here, close enough ;)
This is a near flawless amalgamation of sound and sight, both representing the same idea, just with a different sense.
Perfect explanation.
jicudi omg you just said that to yourself ahahaha
Lorn songs are often like a black rose. Only those who have crossed the darkness can see the full beauty of this rose and still you prick yourself with the thorn. the pain doesn't hurt that much.
The dude makes the best "Cyberpunk" music in the world. Thumbs up.
This song gives me some good Blade Runner vibes and Lorn and Dolor often collab ruclips.net/video/mNsL1LLHOzk/видео.html
I came across Lorn in a time where I was going through some dark shit.
The melancholic vibe in this and many other Lorn songs made it slightly easyer to cope with pointless existance.
I just love the visuals on this one, it's actually amazing how well it matches the music
*Retro Anime from the video its from "Neo Tokyo" 1987 Segment directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri of Ninja Scroll fame.*
*i reccomend you guys watch some like akira / metropolis (2001) / ghost in the shell / kimagure orange road / future war 1980x / geno cyber / megalobox / lain* *serial experiments / Cowboy Bebop / The Animatrix / Steamboy / Freedom / Memories*
this shit trippy as hell

Lorn has the most big and menacing sound. Like you’re up against an unstoppable force. You can only listen as it envelopes you.
Madhouse studios anime is the best catalogue of anime ever. Paprika, Perfect blue, ninja scroll, animatrix, vampire hunter D, all the cyberpunk stuff including this, mark my words all that will be the new trend in Hollywood fo sho
This is so beautiful, touches my soul. It's like telling you something, that you deeply regret.

The theme to the hardest moment in your life, the moment you were born for, when everything has come together and now its time to over come it.
Visiting this again, still great as ever.
Two artists, separated by decades but unified in what their art has accomplished. Lorn was born to make Sega Sunset edit for Neo Tokyo. Your soul just feels it. This is glorious. I’m burning, and as you resonate with their art, resonate with me, let’s burn it all out, until we are ones who burn.
I see so many different translations to this video. Unavoidable tragedy is a big one, however, I also see pushing past our limits. Taking ourselves to extremes that we aren't supposed to go but as humans we inevitably do. I see addiction, yearning for the highest high but that addiction kills you in the end. There's so much to these Lorn videos, truly it's art 🎨 😍
Through this whole song you can here the cockpit shaking apart in your head.
I loved this animation. I sse this vídeo so many times and i am not feel tired.
You are king of amv's. I literally thought the music was written for the video as i have not seen neo tokyo, but I now shall.
Thanks, I actually was unaware of amv's as a popular trend before I did this, but watch Neotokyo for sure, another really good anime anthology is "Memories" watch both, and listen to more from Lorn, he composed half the music for the new Killzone game as well.
I, likewise, have gotten the urge to acquaint myself with this Anime of which I have never heard of before after watching this very well-composed AMV.
Might I also add, this song, especially the distorted guitar sound, reminds me of the movie Dead Man, with a soundtrack written by Neil Young.
I think the AMV with the same source video and the song "Wayfarer" by Kavinsky fits just as well, if not better.
Pterodactyl I just watched it, it don't think it's better at all. The explosions on beat breaks are cool, but that mirror effect is stupid and the build up and editing quality of this video is 100x better.
This song isn't just sad--it literally hurts to listen to. Maybe it's the heartbreaking video that pairs so well with it, but just listening to it takes me beyond crying and into something much more soul-wrenching.
anime use to be scary as shit back in the day....
with the old VHS commercials, does anyone else relate?
***** heh,likewise :)
Fuck yes. One piece is gay.
yep! I agree, ninja scroll and ninja resurrection are still terrifying
Real manga.
+Rin Tohsaka Not sure where you're from but censorship in the UK 80s was very strict from the BBFC who pretty much banned and cut every video nasty. Today, movies get away with a lot more, a 12a is more like a 15. I don't know what Japans censorship is like or if anyghing has changed but there has certainly been a saturation on anime.
this song will never leave me
I really like this kind of animation.
If you haven't seen it watch Akira it has a similar animation.
Really almost any early to mid 90s anime
Watch Ninja Scroll
Sunwakka watch the 90s berserk
the 90s Berserk is near and dear to my heart.
I love how such a simple track can invoke so many emotions.
When you are on a trip for new music and you end up here. Quest done ^^
Love the whole Cyberpunk Sci-fi genre of anime, the aesthetic is otherwordly 🔥🙌
I get full body goosebumps and chills up and down my spine and my mind goes fuzzy every time this song plays. and i don't mind it one bit. not to mention the visuals are beautiful and go so well with the song.
