Been listening to this song regularly for 5+ years. Each time it provides me with some kind of pure energy. This is magic, I cannot be bored while listening to it. It has everything: melody, emotion, power when it drops... Really this is one of my top 10 favourite songs of all time ♥
This has officially been my favorite song for 2 and a half years today. Something about it still gives me goosebumps every time I listen. That itself is hard to explain, and I don't know if this is just me personally. But this song after all this time still completes me. I can't get bored of it. Aleksander Vinter may still be my favorite author, but Shockone was the maker of my favorite song for a such a large portion of the time I've spent listening to music in comparison to how music usually bored the human mind. That can't be outmatched. Making something better than this would be enough to die happy, to put it into perspective. Music is my everything and this song nearly completes it.
+Paul Godden This track gives the listener a sense of purpose and forwardness. In the prelude, you come face-to-face with your challenges and fears, determined to push pass them somehow. Then, the driving, pulsing, but dampened uplifting drop empowers you as you step into your challenges and fears and work to overcome them. The bridge is when you need to catch your breath and the pressure almost breaks you, but you build up one final push and surge through them. In the end piano, you are looking back at what you have accomplished: all the good memories you had, all the new and empowering experiences you were exposed to; and you turn around and walk away, ready to embrace whatever comes next with the knowledge that life will never be perfect, but you will try to make it the best you can (the final resolve.) A cycle, but one full of light.
really?! shit, im glad im not the only one. i love the progression up to the climax, and then breaking it down at the end for like a minute. i love the drop, so so badly! i love the fact that the song is so long, the eargasm just lasts that much longer than if it wouldn't have been so long. i love that it sounds so epic. i love that after more than 3 years it still has that same feel, that it still pumps me up and fills me with emotion as begins and ends. i tried my best, but i honestly cant really describe what this song is, or means to me. in all my years i haven't found anyone that shared this as his/her favorite song. im really glad im not alone on this ^^
just the fact that a piece of music can evoke that response in someone is a testament to the power of the medium of sound and it's impact on the human mind
SHOCKONE --- Whoever you are. There have only been a few times that I have agreed with any modern artists being considered "musical virtuosos" or having created a "masterpiece". That is what you are, and that is what you have created. What an impressive display of talent. Seriously beautiful tracks and a beautiful story told throughout the entire album. Like the top comment, I am unsure if I want to share this unbelievable experience with others.
I listened to this while under the influence of DMT, ShockOne personally describes this song as a psychedelic and sonic journey through the universe. He explains this song to be the sound of a universe coming to its death. I witnessed this and he is 100% correct and on the money, Karl has absolutely hit the nail on the head with this song. Best song off the album by far.
I found this song about 4 or 5 years ago and I just can't stop coming back and listening to it. It really is one of the best songs of all time. Every time I listen to it, it feels like the first time again. It almost makes me emotional.
GODDAMN, well done, it has been around 2 years now and this is STILL MY FAVOURITE SONG. Absolutely fucking marvellous. Sure, I don't listen for a while but I come crawling back, this gives me shivers up my spine.
I found this one in a playlist that AU5 posted almost 2 years ago titled Under rated gold. I've experienced so many thing in life while listening to songs from that playlist, but this one brings pure emotion out of me.
Infinity is just a changeless quality of the mind And within that changeless quality, everything arises If we talk about space, we think, "it's infinite." And our mind is often compared to space There's gonna be an end... If there's an end, there's a beginning If there's one universe finishing There'll be another one starting
I almost never buy CD's, I live in Australia where mainstream record stores have completely rubbish music, I was so stunned when i saw half a shelf of ShockOne Universus CD's in a Sanity Music store I simply bought it on sight out of respect and thoroughly blasted it on the way home.
Universus will never beat welcome reality (NERO) but still it's always great to see artists that tries to explain life and it's meaning by their music, great job on this one, albulm best !!
I went and listened to welcome reality by nero and i disagree with you on it being better than universus. That said, it's a fantastic album! Anything else you could reccomend that's similar or really good?
dragonrayquaza That's a very good question, album are rare in edm. I can certainly recommend you the new Glitch Mob work, which is called Love Death Immortality. For me it's like a mix of Pendulum and Nero !
Beautiful intro mate, and the arpeggio synth reminds me of Spiral by Vangelis, which truly is a good thing. I would so love to hear you remixing one of those classics, it would probably be even better than the Sub Focus version a few years ago... Keep up the good work Shocky, this is my fav from the album and your best work ever in my opinion, though Polygon is a very close runner-up =)
I've got the key signature (d-flat major) and some of the basic melody but I just can't figure out the whole thing. It's bugging me cause I really want to learn this!! -too bad I suck at the piano (and everything for that matter)-
+Phillip H okay maybe I was wrong. The melody is in d-flat but I've figured out the basic chord progression and it includes e-flat major which isn't a part of the d-flat major key. What is going on? Can anybody help me in my ignorance??
Chris James Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be able to figure those out. I'm not even very good at the piano. Even if I could figure them out I doubt I'd be able to play them anyway. But I figured out the gist of it
I'm late but here it is: Infinity is just a changeless quality of the mind And within that changeless quality, everything arises If we talk about space, we think, "it's infinite." And our mind is often compared to space There's gonna be an end... If there's an end, there's a beginning If there's one universe finishing There'll be another one starting just looked for the lyrics cuz was curious as well
it saddens me to read that you'd say the best part stops at 7:00 :< in my opinion, the ending is a huge contribution to how amazing the song is. i'd say that despite how amazing that drop already is on its own, 5:10 - 8:38 is actually one big climax
been sitting here for 2 or so hours trying to type a suitable comment for this song, all that's coming to me is "hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg"
Not as good as the original light cycles but very good indeed. captures the essence of the game grid and the excitement of being in a video game for the first time.

Both your comments. I love them. You put it into words.

About two years since I replied... is it still your favourite song?
I also like this song hail satan.
The prelude makes me cry :)
LOL
For real man! First time listening to it with the prelude and it sounds fucking beautiful!!!
The part that starts 1:06 made me cry, this is possibly the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. One of my favourite albums, a masterpiece.
havent heard music like hans zimmer's yet i suppose

I listened to this track under 220muq pure LSD. It will be difficult to forget what I saw
I found this song about 4 or 5 years ago and I just can't stop coming back and listening to it. It really is one of the best songs of all time.
Every time I listen to it, it feels like the first time again. It almost makes me emotional.
7:44 If you're not crying during this, don't speak to me
GODDAMN, well done, it has been around 2 years now and this is STILL MY FAVOURITE SONG. Absolutely fucking marvellous. Sure, I don't listen for a while but I come crawling back, this gives me shivers up my spine.
Its explaining life from beginning to our end
that which cannot be put into words
It's beautiful to come back to the music you enjoyed in the past. It's a rediscovery. And it always comes back.
2024 and still being taken on a journey from this song
so fucking good man
been bumping it since sophmore year
What a beautiful fucking thing this is….6:16 gives me shivers…theres no real words to describe how biblical this is
I am totally blown away. This is the kind of music that takes you places. Mesmerizing as fuck. No fucking words to describe this masterpiece.
its good to see talent in music is still around.... this is modern day music, made with an incredible talent for sound
I found this one in a playlist that AU5 posted almost 2 years ago titled Under rated gold. I've experienced so many thing in life while listening to songs from that playlist, but this one brings pure emotion out of me.
Another one: innerspace apex
Infinity is just a changeless quality of the mind
And within that changeless quality, everything arises
If we talk about space, we think, "it's infinite."
And our mind is often compared to space
There's gonna be an end...
If there's an end, there's a beginning
If there's one universe finishing
There'll be another one starting
This song is pure cosmic energy
never gets old, pure magic
damm, coming back to this one is amazing. What a story this is. Emotion lvl 500.
I love this song.
this is one of the few times i haven't forwarded a song... the intro was too amazing to do it
There's nothing out there like it. Shock has a legit masterpiece on his hands.
Here after Metrik's 019 Stream.. this song gave me such chills..... wow
Still such an amazing song. So god dam beautiful brings a tear to my eye everytime
Beautiful, just beautiful
Simply mesmerizing, took me on a cosmic trip through these beats.
Nothing gets better than this song 😱😱😱😱
I almost never buy CD's, I live in Australia where mainstream record stores have completely rubbish music, I was so stunned when i saw half a shelf of ShockOne Universus CD's in a Sanity Music store I simply bought it on sight out of respect and thoroughly blasted it on the way home.
Absolutely insane! The intro was just perfection.
Somehow i've listened to shockOne years ago and did miss this album. So good.
Finally! I've waited so long for this song.
This is one of the best songs ever made. Regardless of whatever genre you like.
Gotta be my fave track of 2013 so far. Loving it!
Love this song!! Nice job ShockOne!!!
Universus will never beat welcome reality (NERO) but still it's always great to see artists that tries to explain life and it's meaning by their music, great job on this one, albulm best !!

What a fucking masterpiece, I could blow up my eardrums and die on this track.
beautiful
It's very, very good!
I wanna die while listening to this .....i am not kidding
Beautiful intro mate, and the arpeggio synth reminds me of Spiral by Vangelis, which truly is a good thing. I would so love to hear you remixing one of those classics, it would probably be even better than the Sub Focus version a few years ago...

one word: EPIC.
Awesome song, I love Shockone 👌
WOW I loved this song!
grabbed mine in Cairns QLD, from a Sanity music shop at Smithfield shopping center
The Big one!
That intro is amazing :o
Yes it is indeed, almost feels like being in the north with snow and mountains all around
Infinite song
This is fucking awesome...
Blasting this shit in my car makes me feel like I can fly
Pls Suggest some nice car music
I always get chills at 6:16...
100th comment+ this is one of my favorite songs of all time
Learning to play this on piano by ear is proving to be very difficult.
I've got the key signature (d-flat major) and some of the basic melody but I just can't figure out the whole thing. It's bugging me cause I really want to learn this!! -too bad I suck at the piano (and everything for that matter)-
+Phillip H okay maybe I was wrong. The melody is in d-flat but I've figured out the basic chord progression and it includes e-flat major which isn't a part of the d-flat major key. What is going on? Can anybody help me in my ignorance??
+Phillip H I can imagine, those arpeggios are going to be tricky in conjunction with the big chords!
Chris James Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be able to figure those out. I'm not even very good at the piano. Even if I could figure them out I doubt I'd be able to play them anyway. But I figured out the gist of it
***** if you could that would be fantastic!
which song were you referring to that Sub Focus remixed?
Yep.
كـ حلم ♥
Tune plus :)
You're talking the beginning of Walt Disney. Hey, you had him on his knees...
what does the voice exactly say????

Holy Eargasm
WHAT CITY AND WHICH STORE?
This needs a proper music video
been sitting here for 2 or so hours trying to type a suitable comment for this song, all that's coming to me is "hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggg"

Not as good as the original light cycles but very good indeed. captures the essence of the game grid and the excitement of being in a video game for the first time.
