Tech Noir
Feel the breeze, I feel alive
Will you come to away with me
You’ll be my focus
Could this be, could this be the highway
Before you save me
Just wait your turn, look at me now
Steady as we burn
It was all for love
Just move yourself, drop it back down
And push it out in front
Keep your heart out on the road
Will you come to Tech Noir with me
You’ll be my focus
Could this be, could this be the highway
Before you save me
Just wait your turn, look at me now
Steady as we burn
It was all for love
Just move yourself, drop it back down
And push it out in front
Guided by voices, it’s you and me
Before you save me
Just wait your turn, look at me now
Steady as we burn
It was all for love
Just move yourself, drop it back down
And push it out in front - เพลง

I just now noticed: when the hero grabs the three VHS tapes before jumping into the movie, he grabs Rocky, He-Man and Escape from New York… but someone had put Care Bears inside the Escape from New York box, which is why he was bewildered when he transformed into the care bear later instead of Snake Plisken.
Mix matched videos and boxes. This truly is the authentic 80’s experience. XD
Brilliant! So many subtle references to the 80’s. The villains with an adjustable spanner like in Aha’s Take on me.
Holy cow you're right. That was subtle. Very amusing.
Didn't even notice till you mentioned it.
That is sweet attention to detail. And let us all face it - dang but this video is just begging for us to notice stuff. It's like, a big turn-on to the part of my brain that notices stuff in Weird Al or Phish videos
36 years old here. VHS tapes in the wrong box was constant. The worst was renting them from the video store and realizing the wrong tape was in it when you already got home. Also a pain in the ass when someone didn’t rewind it - be kind, please rewind.
I lost my older brother to depression and suicide about a month ago now. World's been pretty messed up since. This was the last song he ever shared with me. It hurts a lot, but listening to it and watching the video just puts me back in a place where I can feel his presence as we vibe and watch a lot of these old movies. Wonderful song, video and band. Thank you for this gift.
(EDIT) Its been over two years since I listened to this song for the first time and made this comment. A lot of life has happened in the interim. I find myself is better straits than I was back then. I've grown closer to friends and to my surviving siblings and learned more of myself and what I want out of this life and world. Still through all of the trials and successes since then, this song and GUNSHIP have remained a place of comfort to me. I am ever grateful for the stories they share.
To all those who have replied, no matter your intent or thought or belief, I appreciate the outpouring and expression of humanity and connection. To reply to any one in particular I'd feel the need to reply to all, so forgive me my laziness in grouping it all here instead. Thank you for making the world a little bit smaller and strangers a little bit closer. I ask that you choose to live your lives with compassion and kindness, to both yourself and to others when you're able so as to bring more beauty into your life. Tell someone you love them today. Tell yourself that you are loved. The world can be full of so much pain and tragedy, but beauty abounds throughout as well. Appreciate it when you're able. Stay rad and look out for one another.
So so sorry to hear that Lee. Stay strong brother, sending love. GS X
sorry for your loss, weve all lost that special someone in our lives. Never forget him yo
May the good soul RIP, the strength from the Universe to you. Beautiful art indeed to remember by.
He hasn't gone fella, he's takien this gem to a higher place
@@sewen70 exactly. he's still with you bro
Imagine being a John Carpenter's movies fan in childhood and then having him as narrator in your songs. That's what I call dreams come true.
great voice acting too!
Карпентер и сегодня ништяк.
John has done some narration for dance with the dead also another great band.
Yeah man, when I started high school, I hated it. For the first month after school, I'd go straight to my bedroom and put "The Thing" vhs in my top loader almost every night. Fast forward some years later and I'm making a music video with JC narrating. Life's funny like that.
@@leehardcastlethe thing does have such a high school vibe honestly, surrounded by possibly hostile unknowns just trying to sus out every scenario for the best possible result not knowing who’s gonna try to assimilate you next. That’s awesome you made it dawg your style is amazing!
I don't really get why this band isn't huge. They're fucking awesome honestly.
not mainstream enough
The entertainment industry at large and marketing.... But it's kinda cooler that way... It's like, if you don't know, I can't tell ya .
the best music doesn't get exposure anymore
its basically just copying the 80s artists but with steroids and annoying nostalgia, its OKAY
@@andreitarkovsky3214 you're, OKAY
It seems like I’ve always loved this kind of music but didn’t actually know it.
Discovering Gunship is one of the greatest things a lover of 80's era imaginative cinematic musical creations could ever find. Gunship is the wonder I experienced being alive during that period of media's history. Thank you Gunship. Thank You for making something that brings it all back with such precision and nostalgia....
Waggy Waagg some bands or songs do that to me too. Somehow feels like I used to love this, but it's not possible 😅
ElixirNinE Digital Creations was it really like this in the 80’s. Sorry I haven’t really done my research and I’ve never been taught about it
Waggy Waagg music c and Books bring people together
What kind of music is this? And what kinds of artists do this?
I can still smell the cheap candy and carpeted flooring at Blockbuster's...but all those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.
I feel your pain!
But there are still blockbusters in the world, they are like survivors from an apocalyptic war. For example check this video: th-cam.com/video/FyUpvTLlFxk/w-d-xo.html
Blade runner... good choice my friend ;)
This comment is GOAT
@@StormBlessed786 and goat is a stupid modern bullshit trend
@@TheLuri89 and you are smart and wise and good to callout stupid modern trends
Gunship, Dance with the Dead, Fury Weekend, Midnight Danger....keep the synthwave alive my friends! Best music on the planet.
True story
Remember, once you're inside you're on your own...
Don't forget Kavinsky, dude gave birth the Outrun genre.
Snake? I thought you were dead!? Lmao 😅
@@mrmojorisin6496 ....call me Plissken.
Isn't the Tech Noir that discotheque in the first Terminator movie?
And i really love you guys! This song is fuel for the mind.
Yes, it is 👍
Yes. Direct Terminator reference. Gunship rocks.
I had this blasting in my store. A customer asked who it was. When I told them and that they are a newer band. He nodded in respect. I nodded in respect. Fast forward a week. He comes back in and tells me he hasn’t listened to anything else. At that time I have fly for your life on. This is what music is about. Bringing people together.
Rad story. Thanks for sharing it Aneronix.😺 Gunship is so incredible. I'm so happy they exist. As someone who was a teenager in the late 80's, I get where they are coming from on a visceral level.
@@voightkampff7936 i love your username fuck yesss
@Aneronix keep up the good word brother and spread the word of the retrowave
Love this band......they should be the biggest band in the world.....discovered them last week and cant turn them off!!!!
awesome
I'd be surprised if this doesn't become a hit just because of that chorus. Definitely would have been on every radio in the 80s.
Protagonist 'as The whole point is a recreation of 80s music. You literally just described every chorus in the 80s. By that logic, I'd say they're doing great.
I'd actually say it sound MORE 80s than 80s bands. TV shows and movies didn't have the connections to pop or rock bands, so most all TV dramas would hire one guy (on coke 😊) with a synth to do soundtracks. Miami Vice was the first exception to that. So I think you miss the mark. This is 80 TV music, not radio music.
+Blade Runner I think the cheesy chorus is an intrinsic part of the effect. Remember Hans Zimmer? A "better" chorus would make this sound too modern, or perhaps weirdly older. I don't know what you're thinking. We're you even around I the 80s?
How is the chorus 'cheesy'?
It's not cheesy at all, it's fucking amazing.
DO people still listen today???? I hope so. Because I do.
i do
Why wouldn’t they
Always
The intro dialogue basically became a reality…..imagine that? 😡
F*** yeah I do :)
As a child of the 80s... WELL done Gunship! LOVE your music!
it's not fair, this should be way more popular
It would be, but Record Corporations killed off almost everything good about music
Its a rare gem hidden in one of the corners of the internet
Depends how you look at it. I live in Denmark, we have a population of about 5.8 million people. This vid has 4.6 million views. This music has been enjoyed by an amount of people almost comparing to a small country. I think that is pretty cool.
With that being said though, does it bother me that not one of my friends listen to Gunship? Heck yeah!
@@martinlaursen4020 this Video Need more share's
We should keep it that way.. otherwise.. other worldly beings will kill it like Monsanto killed life..
god damnit 10/10. that rare instance where you play a song over and over and get chills every time, then see the video and burst into flames because it's so good.
Little Katie Steady as we burn ;-)
Iv'e listened to this album easily 100 times over since it's release and get chills every time. I know exactly what you mean. The music is just so good I can't stop listening to it.
10/10. that rarer instance when someone (word for word) describes your own experience.
I feel the same way. There is something about this song that's so fucking good, it pierces really deep into my heart and evokes all kinds of feelings. Maybe it is cause I grew up in the 80s but I feel like this transcends that as I've met teens who are in love with this song.
Yyyyyup. No regrets
My dad just died. He was in ICU for 14 days and died from multiple heart attacks I just went to the funeral home to arrange a burial. This song makes me feel better so thanks for creating this just makes my day.
Had this song on repeat for the last 3 days. Wow. Just wow
Now listen to Tech Noir 2 👀
This is honestly one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. And I'm a metalhead.
I'm a metalhead too. I think synthwave is the closest genre to metal
So are they, check out Dan and Alex's other band Fightstar. Charlie simpson, the singer of fightstar is featured on this song
hardly surprising.
I've also known a few metalheads over the years that liked dubstep (not all, but some)
And I, as a techno guy found I like some metal as well.
It's cool to see how music can take so many different forms, but at it's core, is still just audial expression at its finest
@@CCaribou Early dubstep really was the shit... none can dispute
I'm blown away by these guys. Discovered them yesterday and this whole 80s synth wave genre and I don't know if I will ever be the same
I was introduced to this genre the other day. Now I can't...stop...listening!
Welcome aboard, guys!
Welcome to the club lads n lasses
share your list. im hunting for this genre for over a month now
@@Luluwahkey I mean, make sure to absorb all GUNSHIP possible first! ;D But if you want more: watch some Prime Thanatos here on youtube, esp Back to the 80s compilations.
My personal faves are volume 7 and volume 8 with artists such as Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Dance with the Dead, Scandroid, Juno Dreams, Daniel Deluxe, FrankMusic, DONBOR, The Midnight, SUNG, Arcade High, Mitch Murder, Dynatron... and from elsewhere, Turbo Knight, Icarus Project, Neon Nox.
STILL ON HIT IN 2024.📡🇺🇸👽
The care bear was hilarious.
Every time I listen this song I just wanna drive in the city at night and forget all my problems
+David Flores That's what I do. It works, if only for a while.
+Turtleproof but that short while feels awsome
warrick miller It's the only time, other than performing first aid on someone, that I do not feel vulnerable or alone.
Turtleproof
dude you need somone to talk to or somthing?
+warrick miller ^hahahaha
Just the fact that the Legend himself, John Carpenter narrated this one stands for its own and the Video kills it even more. So much love was given into this one and it deserves nothing but love.
YES! Totally agree with you!
Yeah, but where's my boy Michael Myers?
I thought it was Snake Plissken speaking into the recorder.
🤩👍🏼💖💖💖💖
Totally love this it's super powerful
My ex girlfriend introduced me to the beautiful world of Gunship. The characters in the music video even look like us, which is crazy to me. I miss her so much, I miss the good times we had together. This song helps me remember those good times and feel ok about my sadness and loneliness today. Thanks Gunship
bro cmon, your life isnt to be lived for or by someone else, its for you not them, to be sad when alone is to be sad when you eat. its the natural way my bro.
@@JOSH2625 Yea I'm good man
@@quillandovis5104 i hope thats still the case, have a great life dude, live free and without worry
Hope you're doing good bro.
I feel what u sayin brother all i can do is tell you to stay strong
Corvus recommending some good vibes jams for the smoke sesh, even brought Perty and Rogal together with this one
I understood that reference
Real talk

+Stinger911 I'm not sure, but I think it says "Hard way" instead of "Highway";
+Mixmaximum ITA i think the same...
+Mixmaximum ITA Am I the only one that thinks it says "could this be our way?" Just with vocal emphasis at the beginning which is why we hear the sort of "H" sound at the beginning, I could be wrong, but our way seems to suit the previous lines of "you'll be my focus" and "could this be"
+Stinger911 You best man )))
+VVVEndZeiT
in the preceding lyrics, the singer is really soft on his d's.
it could be possible that he is singing "could this be the hard way" as well.
it does make sense that it would be highway though, given the previous lyrics.
are you shitting me?! how can this song be soooo damn good and the music video soooooo insanely creative? I can die in peace now.
RIP Edie 1987 - 2017
7 Month Vigil will be held for Eddie tonight. RIP.
1987 is a good year to be born.
I was born in 1986 :)
Hail from 1977! So nice to see that class is still in session! That the hunger and appreciation for strange and spectacular, created during our generations, have not diminished; but intensified. Glad to know there are more of us out there who have continued to listen and look for the gems of uniquely inspired, amongst the commercially popular static of today’s musical offerings. -Rock on!-/sorry for big words/-the song deserves my reverence. A++
Second single form the new album just dropped Eddie. Hope you're on the right side of the dirt to hear it mate.
My mom just died yesterday. This was her favorite song. We would listen to it and just laugh. So atleast I have this song to keep her with me. Thank you for this music. I miss you mom.
🌹 I heard you out there.
So sorry for your loss...I too can relate. Hopefully things will start to look up for you. God Bless😇😇😇🙋
Thank you, Gunship. You made 2023 a little more bearable. This song, and many others, helped me through some hard moments.
Holy shit! It's like this is the genre I've been looking for the past 30 years.
Dude, SAME!
Hold on, you've been looking for the 80's since the 80's?
haha I know that feel man, I discovered the genre over a year ago while playing Miami Hotline 2.
Exactly
Which genre though I want moree
It would be cool if this song is in Cyberpunk 2077.
Eli Ayase if this band in general was in it
maybe pull a Red Dead 2 and have this playing during a 'one last ride' moment. Imagine it.... while you've kicked your monocycle into high gear to go attack the bad element, a loved one finds the recording at home, maybe even a keepsake left beside it.. meanwhile, you are into the thick of it, bullets and electrics flying with blood and guts everywhere. But then, right by the end of it, you get mortally blasted and turn over to attack.
..and it's them. Your best friend, the one you trusted.
This needs to happen.
Theres alot of songs they forgot to put in alot of good songs like this
This is not the future I want to live
How have I only just found this? This song is just... WOW!!! I'm lost for words every time I listen to this masterpiece.
Ditto, sometimes the algorithm provides, even if it's a little late 😎
@@awabooks9886 you're not wrong there😁
Check out part 2 also!
@@TheMokeleMbembe thank you for putting me onto part 2. Love that as well😁
welcome to the club. stumbled across it years ago and it hasn't lost any of its magic. Gunship songs are strange in a sense that all of them grow on you. If youre not really feeling a song, then one day you'll hear it and it you will love it. Haha . it will sound totally different and you're like how did i not like this song before b/c now its amazing!! Its really weird but eventually you like them all. that was my experience anyway. And im still waiting to come across someone live in the flesh who is a fan. Crazy how nobody I know or meet has heard of these guys.
"Hope for our future is now a still born dream"
Jeez.. Cutting deep with this one line.
Wouldn't expect anything less from the legend himself.
So so so so fucking dope!! This is so 80's synth, it sounds authentic, but new. It has that emotion those old songs had. I get them Bloodsport feels bruh!
the song is much more cleaner vs the 80's but this sounds much nicer
This genre is called Synthwave. Check out Anoraak, Grum, Kavinsky, Com Truise, College, and Electric Youth as well.
Surprised perturbator isn't on that list XD
toadbear Also, subscribe to the Reddit forum called New Retro Wave: www.reddit.com/r/newretrowave/
Agreed. I get some Pink Floyd in it as well. And the beginning Synth sounds like it belongs in The Terminator. If you want another great 80's flashback, watch that new Netflix show, Stranger Things.
This song was literally playing in one of my dreams and it was EPIC
so not literally
Wtf, same!
That’s cool.
@@Ryfinius Well it depends on what he means by 'playing' - if he meant it was actually playing a game as opposed to simply that he could hear it play, then yeah, it was literally 'playing' in his dream.
Same shit
One of the coolest music videos ever, cool characters, amazing song, and a great story. All around fantastic.
seriously what a great video
Gunship needs to compose the soundtrack for the next Tron film!
I just realized he accidrntly grabbed the Care Bears tape when he took the Escape from New York tape. Nice job. Awesome song.
Care Bears still got the job done!
yeah thats what he means, he grabs the escape from new york tape but it accidently had care bears inside, he didnt intentionally take it
Of course he intentionally took it, he was hiding his guilty pleasure of care bears inside escape from new york so no one knows he loves it.
Нe lucky that it was not porn.
wrtltable XDXD
I love how the title is a reference to the bar that Kyle and Sarah met in The Terminator
Somebody got that reference. Nice
That's actually how I found this song. I typed in "tech-noir" lol.
Tbh, nearly EVERY synthwave band has a track called "Tech Noir".
Just off the top of my head : Noir Deco. Perturbator. Gunship. Babylon 86. Nowtro. List goes on...
It's a genre trope at this point.
Typical 80s couple that meets at a club with this kind of music.
Every synthwave band has a track called Tech Noir, but I wonder how many people do get what they're referencing with that particular title? :)
This is the most synthwave thing to ever synthwave and I frigging adore it.
Never has a song or genre sucked me into a time space wormhole like this. I was instantly transported back to the 80's and no I'm not high LOL.
Im so glad that in the billions of years of this planets existence, I existed at the same time as this track.
Any other track you’re glad you’re existing along with? Thanks
What a fucking dope ass comment! Damn! What and epic compliment to this masterpiece of a song!
And I'm glad to exist along with you, sir. :)
Well said!
There is no off/on switch for existence. Everything works together and exists at once. Form is all the changes.
"Hope for our future is now a stillborn dream." 😱
Lani Kelly it's beautiful
Reminds me of what the writers of Venture Bros said about their show documenting the failure of the 60's to deliver on all the space age dreams they promised us, like jet packs and cities on the moon.
Lani Kelly that was my fav part as well
I was today years old when I found this band. Wow!! Feels like I'm back in the 80's!! Excellent!
As an 80's baby('81), this one of the sickest things I've ever seen and heard in tribute to our culture/era. GUNSHIP rules
Holy fuck this is amazing.
Today's kids will never know how awesome VHS was. Friday night at block buster, picking out scary movies...
Richard Delacruz I was born in the 90's.. I remember vhs tapes so much. they were SO awesome. Still have a VCR to this day!
im a 90s kid but how can I forget joining those cut tapes to what not!
What? Apart from nostalgia VHS is an objectively worse format.
yes, i was happy about dvd :)
Everything is too accessible now. So everything becomes commonplace. Meaningless. The point is, a world without VHS is a world of depression. ;-)
God damnit i love gunship. My wife and I don't agree on alot of music. But we ALWAYS agree on Gunship
Corvus Corax really knows his music.
Is the John Carpenter line a sample or did he actually do it for the video?
+GUNSHIPMUSIC Love this! A friend shared this with me. This music has a good vibe. I find many songs in this "style" are very bland. But this one is amazingly done! :D
+Iron City Chronicles Yeah like I heard the Miami Hotline soundtrack after this and Gunship just sounds SO superior it makes that one sound cheap and like the composer was on drugs the whole time.
There's a J. Carpenter interview where he talks about reading the lines for this video. It's read solely for the music video.
+GUNSHIPMUSIC how s carpanter Halloween? ;)
+Ashley Coulter
What are you even talking about, the Hotline Miami sountrack doesn't have a single composer. They found a bunch of good synthwave artists and got permission to use their preexisting songs in the game
Gunship is the bridge between my carefree youth and my messed up adult life... gunship is life.
feel you 🖤
Damn bro I felt that . . .
U a funny u think u got it worse than me... smhhhh maybe u God lord bless u plz stay positive love u
What a perfect statement or feeling...
I love this but Jesus is the way the truth and the more abundant life.

“I know Tech Noir…It’s down on Pico.” This song & video expertly convey the sound and vibe of many 80’s movies. I’m reminded of Terminator most. Of course Tech Noir was the name of the bar & dance club that Sarah Connor took refuge in when she met Kyle Reese & the T800.
just discovered Gunship... my life is complete.
reallydumbforeal1 you sure?
Gunship: I found you on Spotify, you are my 2019 best music group
Gunship are awesome. I'd also recommend checking out "The Midnight"
@@BanielDrown los angeles ❤
I think this is the most beautiful song of all time.
I like that guy, alone. I like his hair. He's friendly.
Why is gunship suddenly more important to me than anything...
Where has this been?
I can’t believe something this good exists...
I can’t believe I found it
I knew it! More and more people are finding About this synthwave and the 80's revival movement, i'm a 100% sure the 2020's Will be the decade to revive the 80's!
I think thats how everyone who discovers GUNSHIP for the first time feels haha
You'll want to listen to Scandroid as well.
Diego Estrada I’m excited for it then. I just started listening to this type of music, discovering it from a roblox game believe it or not haha. But I love it!
@@diegoestrada56 I literally only found out about Gunship a few days ago. Absolutely amazing music. Where has this been all my life??? Seriously :O
extremely underrated artist
12 Million Views??? Should have 12 Billion views!!! Awesome song. Awesome video. 🤘
1:10 The best part. The voice makes me feel like I'm surfing a perfect wave in summer sunset, while the background music is dipping my hand in the crystal clear water.
I just realized that this is the exact same as the 40's-50's generation went through....an idealistic portrayal of a "better" time. Let me tell you one thing....maybe the 80s were glam and fun as hell... but at night we all went to bed with the specter of a literal nuclear apocalypse hanging over our heads. Maybe that's why we partied so hard.
the cold war never ended, this is you being just like those boomers you are slandering, we still have to worry about russia for gods sake. nothing ever changes. war never changes, hell even the times barely change, read love letters from history and you'll see.
At least you could get a date that wasn't a scumbag.
And now we have the spectre of Civil War, which is SO much better (sarcasm).
I really don't think it is the same at all. The only comparison I think would be if they all started getting into art deco but called it new deco wave. But given the 40s-50s generation were living in the aftermath of two world wars, they probably weren't saying 'Things were better back then, I want to party like it's 1916' but going 'Hey the future is great I have a job a car and a record player, I can't wait until the 80s!'
We still live with that fear. Out generation was better informed about the risk. We still live in an era of possible nuclear annihilation. There are even more nuclear players now than ever, with nuclear weapons becoming...almost...within the grasp of terrorist entities. It's even more dangerous now than when we were kids. Only now....people in the millennial generation live blissfully unaware. But we.......we.....know what is at stake.
This IS the era when phantasy and reality are mixing, I think that explain why this world became so mad. Thanks for Brazil.
Man 1980 times were cool
@Standard Excelsior I think the 80's early 90's were probably the best time in History to grow up so far, because we had Technology, but the internet was just burgeoning and kids weren't stuck in a phone or a computer, we had great imagination (D&D, all sorts of RPG's and table top games), the toys were so much better than the shit they have out today.... GI Joe, Lazer Tag, and the cartoons that went with them. It was really the last Era where you could get a way with crazy shit, without someone calling the police on you, or turning your parents into CPS. We would buy cases of roman candles, and mortars to have massive fireworks wars, we would jump in old cars and race the shit out of them...….
@@mountedpatrolman Yes. Very much. I live in a what is increasingly less a rural area and it was great. Cruise the local shopping center parking lot. drinking or getting with the gals, if a cop or deputy caught you it was pretty much "take it to the back roads kids and we don't have to notice" type of things. The only people who were a problem were and are the jackoff tourists. We had it made. You only got into deep doo if you did something pretty bad. Miss those days.
the 2080s will be better.
@Drakilicious Well I grew up in the late 80s & early 90s and while I get what your saying I'm also pretty sure the world just really sucks now.
@Drakilicious I totally get what you are saying. Just like Socrates quote and how every generation thinks the next is going down hill but I think the internet is the big game changer here. Historically technological advances have never moved so fast. Yes, the telephone replaced the telegraph, the car replaced the horse and buggy, tv replaced the radio but those changes were nothing compared to the sociological changes the advancements in computers, the internet and now social media have not only brought to our society but the world as a whole. Kids today don't even know what an encyclopedia is (I know because I'm a teacher) and they retain less information than ever before because everything is stored on their phones or computer drives. They interact socially less and we are seeing a rise in anti-social behavior across large populations of young adults and teens. This isn't me talking, this is sociological research. Ok, I may have rambled a little, but the point is before everyone was connected to everyone else with a push of a button and before screens became the main way people communicated, things were a lot different and for a great many people, better. Statistically Icelanders are some of the happiest, healthiest people on the planet. In studies they contribute a great deal of their happiness to community and local gathering of people....thats something the internet has a tendency to circumvent. Sorry, I research this stuff and I just find it interesting. I tend to get carried away. :)
Corvas really knows his music
"Please remember me"
Sincerely the 80s
As an 80's child and Carpenter fan... I cannot like this enough. Radical shit, man.
i can not stop listening
Took me 7 years to find this absolute vibe, worth the wait..
This Song has got me through some very dark times living on the streets and going through separation with my daughter's mom and inability to see my daughter. I was working a Full-time baking Job in Austin TX. Every start of my shift as it was just me working i would blast this on a bad ass Speaker just to create a Good energy to bust out the night. Things are Kind of better for those who see this and care.
Keep on jamming, freindo. Hopefully, things'll get better.
I want to move to texas with my family from germany. Any good advise?
keep your head up brother. Im sorry for ya loss 🙏
Hope things are better 10 months down the road bud
Keep on going you’re winning don’t let the darkness take you STAY STRONG BROSKI💪🏼
The vocals always gets me off guard. Can't put my finger on why, but I feel the breeze the moment that deep, beautiful, mature voice starts to sing.
Man it really makes me feel all emotional, and honestly it’s so hard to put into words why it’s most likely because it makes me feel nostalgic even though i was a 2000’s, baby, yet it has that power. Also i will admit it’s a sexy voice.
It has a Pink Floyd vibe on the chorus.
The power of Charlie Simpson, a beautiful man with a beautiful voice!
Mature? These boys are hardly singing mid range
The best part. The voice is like surfing a perfect wave in summer sunset, and the background music is dipping its hand in the crystal clear water.
Huh, never thought of Robocop vs Jason. But now I feel like I would pay big bucks to see that. Thanks for this.
Psychic Peanut you mean....."I'D WATCH THAT FOR A DOLLAR!"
comptonfasho Gorgeous.
ew no. Robo is impervious to all of Jason's slash or stab attacks, most environmental deaths too. Dumb dumb dumb.
I bet you think you're pretty smart, huh?
@@CSM100MK2 yeah, and Jason is impervious to literally goddamn everything, including be completely dissolved in acid in Part VIII
I don't understand how I've only just now heard this?
Wow. Not often I instantly love a band.
Bout a year ago I think, I called up my local University college radio in Southern California and requested this song. They dug it up online and played it over the air waves during rush hour, when people where getting off work.
It just made me happy to know this retro artist was played over old fashioned radio. 😎📻
This is beautiful in so many different ways
Hisflock777 never seen so many comments get liked by the creator.
true
The devil went
Bombs are always falling. Lucky to not be underneath and to the side. 👏🎵
ive listened to this song for years and this is the first time im watching the music video and ive got to say that is not the music video i ever expected and im not disappointed in the slightest
This should be a movie
Ok let's be honest: I found this music clip, liked it very much and started to rip song for song from YT. Then I realised I liked it so much I wanted to give them my support, so I visited there site and bough their album (only 8 bucks!) Come on guys, don't let good artists go to waste, buy there album to show your support. @GUNSHIPMUSIC: can't wait till the next album!
I just a vynl brah.
Or at least downloaded from deezer. I don't know if it's in spotify but that will also work I think
Can i get it on google play?
I buy from bandcamp or amazon.
I got a combo pack. Signed CD, Poster, T-shirt and slipmat.
Ive been listening to this song literslly non stop for about 2 and a half yrs now 😂
I listened to this music back in the 80’s then life got in the way,rediscovering it 35 years later.
Hope Gunship see this comment, sir I usually download music for free on the web, but your music is so awesome that i went to the Windows store to purchase the whole cd, your music is so amazing, i have never felt the need to contribute to an artist. hope you could bring many more music like this in near future, your videos are amazing. You are amazing.
I'm glad I'm not the only holdout who still uses rad!
I did the same thing!
Al Mont would be bad ass if they had their albums on cassettes
This music, this animation, this story...moves me emotionally.
I'm an amiture freelance lone wolf CGI animator. I am trying so hard to produce an animation of my own creation to capture the absolute amazing cinematic epicness of this song... I haven't come close yet... I will... I won't give up. I will not fail.. To quit trying is the only way to fail even if I haven't done it justice yet... I will...
YASSSSSSSS!!!!
And you gotta love that nod to cartoon crushes.
At the end, Hellraiser hides from Tenderheart CareBear, his one weakness is love. With this, we can learn that a tender heart can heal the world one hug at a time. I’m here saying hope everyone is okay in 2022.
A lot better than last year, that's for certain.
Music of the 5th dimension
God, I love your songs so so much and all these MV's are so epic
Hammer Geil :)
@@KryoSynkronis God, I love your songs
Can you give me one or more examples of similar stuff that you love
Yeah mean vibes from these songs
Same!
This song gives me a feeling of existential dread, yet I can’t stop listening to it.
That's the 80's in a nutshell.
Always made me feel like I had something to do
The most satisfying music to me has tension in it, where rhythm and melody are pushing and pulling each other. Synthwave is FULL of tension and I can't get enough. Bands are pushing the boundaries and subsets are forming. Like Dark, Goth, and regular Synthwave.
I'm listening for Lee and his brother.
This is how I discovered GunShip and Synthwave which is an obsession. Takes me back to the cassette days which even in 2004 I still had! They never skip on a bumpy ride and I knew how to cou.t how far I rewind and Fast forward to a so g or a favorite part. Gunship is life. This needs to be remembered along with Lee Hardcastle's hard work on claymation giving us the late Will Vinton treatment!
Wow. Really glad this popped up in my recommendations
But seriously, u white bruh
Just found something me and the white boy agree on.
Fun Fact: Some songs on the new Alter Bridge album, 'Walk The Sky', were inspired by this very song. As the band's guitarist Mark Tremonti said, this is the oldschool synth-wave at it's best.
SlashArmyPL this is how I heard about these guys👍
The same alter bridge from like 15 years ago? Surprised they still make music
@@c0ded56 You need to pay more attention.
lol Alter Bridge 😂 😂 😂
“I’m not sorry, we had it coming”
I swear Gunship has changed my life.
Profoundly, beautiful and sad... Overwhelmingly good...
Wow! So glad a friend shown me this video. This is EXACTLY my kind of music, very rare these days but so good! The only similar good band I knew was "Perturbator" from France.
Kavinsky
Scattle, Mega Drive
it's like kavinsky and fm 84 had a baby. outrun+synthyromance
Yeah, the latest album of Carpenter Brut "Trilogy" is honestly, the best thing I've heard since Gunship. FM 84 last one was really good too!
I love that it's specifically Beat Up Rocky and a care bear
I Have seen this 100 times and I have never noticed that the care bears tape was supposed to be Escape from New York. LOL that's a great touch.
Everyone mocks the 80's for its yuppie values, Reganism, and Thatcherism, and all the tasteless mercantilism; but the art of that era is unmatched. Science fiction, fantasy, and music were so fresh and inspired back then, and new and exciting ideas were coming by the trainload. Epic time to be a kid.
I guess weirdly tyrannical government spurs amazing creativity
A lot of brilliant satire came from that decade
@@darkartsdabbler2407 I always thought so. A wild time
@@darkartsdabbler2407 Idk, did they make any good music during the Russian revolution? Maybe it has to be tyrannical but not TOO tyrannical right? Lol cuz people were too busy starving to death or being murdered by the state to make music during that
I mean they had Thatcherism now we have Boris, the decrease in quality is blatantly obvious. They had Diana we have Camila . . .
@@c.odubhlaoich2948 The Russian revolution was the liberation of the workers. Only in capitalism are you taught that its tyrannical when you live in the tyranny of capitalism already lol.
This is what you sound like 'I dont know what communism is but let me tell you why its bad. Communism causes mass murder and starvation, my mass murdering and people starving capitalist sources would never lie about that.'
You realise the soviet union had a very much thriving art culture and social culture based on a society where people don't exploit one another for profit? There is very little individuality and creativity in capitalism as the purpose of everything is abstracted to the pursuit of profit. Imagine the highest level of communism - an ethical society without money organised by science. In a society without money the purpose of work would be what the work actually produced instead of earning money.
You have been brainwashed since birth by capitalism, the monetary system. You are not free, you are not an individual. You are a slave. You are a clone.
But once you are intellectually aware of this you then have to overcome your years of emotional conditioning to be in love with the monetary system.
Lol i just realized one of the three movies he brought with him was a mistake. It was suppose to be “Escape from New York” instead it was care bears
Nice catch! It was in the wrong sleeve case! Since we also see the Care Bears VHS on the shelf, i thought it was an intentional choice.
I was literally saying "C'mon, lets see Snake Plissken!" Laughed a lot though at the switch.
I thought he was just hiding the Care Bears in a different sleeve so no one would know that he watches Care Bears
@@ThatGamingGuy911 CareBear Stare Burns your SOUL
There's nothing more powerful than a carebear beam lol!
This song is magic...like the moment you meet someone and you cant put into words how you feel around them or why..just unexplainable magic.
You feel something beyond the reality youre in.
This song makes me think of many people I love. Like my dad or my girlfriend. Always feels good to be around them, you know?
This song utterly changed how I enjoy music. I'm a metalhead through and through, but this song changed so much. I can now enjoy Metal through a lens of other music, and Synthwave has absolutely taken up a big chunk of my musical life.
Just goes to show, don't close your mind. Your new favourite genre comes left field.
I feel the same as you. Are you aware of Carpenter Brut and
Perturbator? These are two french synthwave artists that are influenced by heavy metal. You may find them very interesting.
@@tv-wm3od I have seen both live, they're very good :)
I’m a huge metalhead and my car playlist has a ton of synthwave on it.
