    The algorithm brought this song to me on the day it dropped and it's basically been in everyday play, if not multiple replays per day, for me. Love it. How a song can be simultaneously relaxing and stress-inducing is beyond me.

    I love the theme that the best revenge is to let them go, let them live. Live with regretting all the pain they cost you, all the things they did to you until that hate burns them up all on its own. The concept that this is fine when you know it’s not, her being in the woods and going from being victimized to becoming a full on predator and killing him where no one can watch and judge you, as we all know in the setting we absolutely could give into that animal. Then after she’s blood soaked and he’s gone she realizes even then that wouldn’t satisfy her she so she finally let’s go and tells him I hope you live with this for the rest of your life.

    I hope you live
    If there's no end
    and we are infinite
    still, I hope you live

    Anyone who liked this song, go listen to the entire album, to which this is the song XI. It is meant to be listened on loop, which explains the abrupt ending - the first song begins as abruptly and through a messy static you are launched through this little cosmic life the band have created for us.

    I don't get how it's depressing? The way it comes across to me is whether there's something after this life or not, I hope you live... That seems like one of the most positive and uplifting things I can think of.

    So excited to see what BLACKSHAPE do next. Only song on the album with vocals, but they just tear through me. Seems like they're working on new stuff right now, possibly with more vocals on the tracks, vocals which are a dude btw! That lady is just in the video, but it works so well.

  • @entropytheory8875
    @entropytheory8875 Год назад +29

    I honestly love how the video has a sense of dread with the ambience of the music…I often ponder about death and this song, for me, perfectly captures that feeling…… absolutely beautiful
    It doesn’t need to have lyrics in but, holy crap…when the song title is sang… it gives me chills and brings a tear to my eyes
    11/10 for me

    The song title ITIIITIATIIHYLIHYL is made up of the first letters of every word in the first four lines of the lyrics: If this is it
    If this is all there is I hope you live I hope you live...so yeah, it's an acronym.

    That song…..literally just broke me for a while and all I could say was “I’m trying”. It’s not….words are hard. Big emotions. I’m happy for you to have found the song and to share it with a wider audience and maybe we can all realize just a little more about how similar we all are. I don’t know what I’m trying to communicate right now. I’m getting a little lost watching again.

    I've always listened to extreme, heavy and fast metal since I was a kid. Only in the recent years have I discovered DSBM and my life has never been the same, in a positive way. Sometimes slow and ambient is needed to fill a certain hole. This isn't DSBM, but still gave me that same feeling. Love it!!

    It's funny that you mentioned Low Roar, and then Sigur Ros and Radiohead, because when I first played Low Roar for my wife she said it was like Thom Yorke was singing for Sigur Ros. I just heard this song a couple of days ago, and have now listened to their full album twice just today. It's good shit. Definitely post rock/post metal. I put them in the same area as sleepmakeswaves, If These Trees Could Talk, This Will Destroy You, et. al....
