I love this song. The only thing that's stickier for my brain is "Fly for your life" IFF I'm stupid enough to open the video [1] on youtube. I find it interesting that the visuals are not made specifically for this track. But the original video [2] never had the appeal of the gunship version, and it's not even just the music, but mostly the editing. Really goes to show how much good editing matters.

- Legogris 5y agoI don't know exactly why, but the friends-and-fans-collab video to "When you grow up, your heart dies" made me tear up quite a bit https://youtu.be/watch?v=ri9IefTuNzc https://youtu.be/watch?v=ri9IefTuNzc
- twic 5y agoI sort of enjoy the dissonance of knowing that this was specifically, almost cynically, crafted to emotionally affect people of my age and background, rather than to express any genuine feeling on the part of the composer, and being emotionally affected by it. It's the feeling of being subjected to an ingenious hack.
- james-skemp 5y ago> rather than to express any genuine feeling on the part of the composer Having found Gunship a few years ago, I'm not sure that this is true. At least one of the members is in their 40s, and based upon their other works, they definitely seem to have a love of the 80s and 90s (at least the media of it).
- XenophileJKO 5y agoThis feels so wierd to watch. I was a kid when all the referenced pop culture was created. Then having the realization that many/most of the people in the video were not alive when these movies were released.

- cronix 5y agoMy entire childhood just flashed before my eyes. What a great video. Non-stop nostalgia. Thanks!
- matheusmoreira 5y agoAmazing music and video. Thanks! I saw a post here about a similar dogfight in the macross anime, not sure what happened to it. Probably this one: https://youtu.be/0zdJVajCCFE https://youtu.be/0zdJVajCCFE It's always nice to watch planes flying. https://youtu.be/CaIMo1B4ryM https://youtu.be/CaIMo1B4ryM
- IgorPartola 5y agoThis song got seriously stuck in my brain for a bit, and not just the melody but the video as well. What I didn’t know is that it wasn’t the original video for the song and honestly somehow that makes me feel better about it. For those reading this comment that listen to The Adventure Zone and finished the first season, there is an amazing edit of fan art as a music video to Hey Brother that will hit you right in the feels about Taako’s story. It’s not the same genre, obviously, but I bring it up because context + music + amazing editing = magic in that case also.

- maxden 5y agoThat Fly for your life music video is amazing. Thank you for posting it. It made me look into the making of the visual elements [0] and a more technical look here [1] of the short film "Paths of Hate". Given some (or all?) of the elements are 3D models, that would make a great experience in VR. Would it be possible to have it as a VR music video?, or do those compositing shots/passes mean you wouldn't see the same thing? Amazing how creative people are... and how much work goes into such work.
