So simple but the sheer stamina that's required is insane. I haven't played drums properly in years but I'll always practice this beat and probably never perfect it 😅
"I hold my inner child within And tell him not to cry: "Don't fear the living" One day you will stand as a king And no fear can erase this light below us Each one of us is now engaged This secret we all have, this truth is growing And as a warrior, I have to fight I can already feel the love I'll discover" absolutely beautiful.
This is absolutelly beautifull. It represents the secret of death metal. A lyrical art within a dark enshellement. A comunity stigmatised by a superficial appearance. We look wrong, with our black clothes, long hair, beards, chains and spikes, we make brutal death walls and moshpitts, we cast anger and fear. We are different, we are who we are, but we stand for these lyrics, we stand for such a poetrie amplified by these instrumentals. We stand for the reality of a performance by musicians facing a crowd of brothers and sisters. This music can make a crowd loud as an earthquake, or silent as a void. The point of experiencing the moment, the trance that is given to us.
The fact that this song was written in 2004, and it is getting even more relevant every year is truly impressing. Joe's text are amazing, the best band of their generation without a doubt.
@@rye8i Guess You don't believe in global warming, for this song si almost 20 years old and global warming is destroying the earth more each day that passes, so yes, it is relevant
I feel like people don't realise how talented a singer Joe is. It's crazy what he pulls off here. It's like he has several effects he can switch on and off in his voice, screaming with heavy distorsion and still maintaining notes (and producing overtones I guess?). Very impressive.
You've probably seen this, but if not, the last couple minutes are (in my opinion) more impressive than Joe's performance here. th-cam.com/video/DrDM6V08wcE/w-d-xo.html
@@Bealz709 Sure, I know about Townsend and I've seen this performance of his. He's a very impressive singer with a very particualr technique. Not sure what that has to do with my remark though ^^
@@arthursimsa9005 he was coming from a comparative mindset, so i get why you're noticing how outta left field his comment is. Big devhead here, big fan of gojira, love both of em.
This is by far the best song to end a album. I think if you listn to From Mars to Sirius from start to end, its kind of a journey, a experience you have to make.
What I really like is how grounded this song feels compared to the others - the rest of the album is filled with metaphors (The Ocean Planet, the Flying Whales, the move From Mars to Sirius, etc.) but this song says it how it really is on our planet, beautiful ending that is both dark but also filled with hope: “we will see, our children growing”
Saqqara King I'm not throwing shade. Just saying that it's an advantage to have a jazz drummer as your teacher. I know Mario is talented and very hard-working, we can see it in his double bass technique(which is very uncommon in jazz) at which he's a master.
He's doing it with such ease. Just look at 3.05. He does not even seem bothered, which kind of scares me. If I even was able to play like that, I would probably make the weirdest faces trying to not mess it up. Mario is just such a beast and an inspiration!
Yes! I completely agree. These four guys in a studio practice setting is FAR more impressive than any big budget concert happening with so many effects and gimmicks.
Same here yo, but they would also do a few Metallica covers. I crave Master of Puppets by Gojira, Joe's vocals and Jean-Michaels slightly lower tone of the guitar and Mario's skill as well as Christians energy would amplify the song by a million.
It's hard to believe he's in his 40's. He just sounds as energetic as ever. He's not the most technically advanced vocalist, but that's probably for the better, because it leads to really emotional and soulful performances, as everyone pointed out already. And in the last years, that he got the clean vocals improved, he's just a boss at everything he does...
Ο Επιστήμων he's actually one of the most technically advanced vocalist in music right now. His clean vocals are great but his growls and screams are from another world. He's using a very hard screaming technique so it can be powerful, sometimes brutal and yet melodic. It's one of the most unique voice in extreme metal. Only devin townsend is on the same level.
fuck, I was like all deep in emotion after this song, started to read the comments with the outro still playing, and here's yours. I loled)) Fucking died right there)))
There's such a childlike innocence to those harsh vocals that is a desperate plea from all the good things in this world to preserve and protect itself as it has everyone and everything's best interests at heart.
Their parents were both artists and raised them to appreciate nature. Their sister is a photographer who is an artist and whose fashion pictorials are in Vogue. Their mom was a yoga instructor... back in the day when it wasn't trendy. Their father is a muralist. Both brothers are avid readers also when not kicking ass...
I doubt Joe is singing with full emotions expressed by facial expressions, because singing with emotions hurts vocal cords ( look up Melissa Cross ). Still impressive though.
Man I love Gojira but kudos to the sound engineer on this recording, it’s got to be one of the most well produced and mixed live recordings I’ve ever heard
Best part of this is at the very end, when Joseph is still tapping and the rest of the band is kind of in awe of what they all just accomplished. You can tell that a lot of emotion was put into this recording.
Butler The causer of MAYHEM they took out the first part of the second chorus on this one. Imma guess that Joe didn’t wanna do the death metal voice on this video.
@@butlerjokersanspai it doesn't sound like the studio version at all... the vocals are very different and a huge improvement to the already outstanding track. Didn't think there was anything wrong with the album version until I heard this version.
My hat's off to the bassist. It takes a high level of taste and restraint to play only simple things firmly, in the midst of virtuosi running incredible techniques; without trying to "compensate upward" to run with them. Rick Laird, from Mahavishnu Orchestra, was great at this; his patience and focus were truly profound. This gentleman here is very close to Laird's level. Well done.
And he's absolutely a virtuosic bassist in his own right, but his greatest skill is knowing and perfectly maintaining his place in a song. But he can totally turn it up to 11 when the need arises.
Studio version = Chills down my spine and goosebumps up and down my arm Live version = all of the above plus the tears that ran down my face. Gojira truly are such an amazing and powerful group.
This is incredible. Joe's voice is on point, it is evolving, he is now a master of clean singing, it is powerful and emotional. His growl voice has changed since Magma, and I am diggin' it so hard. Incredible performance, shivers down my spine.
I'm 26 and now that I have a son, the lyrical content of this song hits so much deeper than I could even explain. I come to this when I need to feel like the world is bigger than my problems and perspective for how I'll raise my son in today's world. I love you Gojira 🤘
You have gotta hear The Ascent by Caligua's Horse, then. Those lyrics are about the singer passing the torch of experiencing life to his daughter. Like this song, I'd place that one very high on my list of most important songs I know. Congrats on the kid, I hope he has a happy life
Best metal band in history. Most innovative band. Musicianship. Heavy. Influential. I just can't explain how I feel when I listen to Gojira...and then you have videos like this. I'm just so grateful I can enjoy them. Thank you, Gojira.
Lightbringer They sound heavier than your favorite band will ever sound. No band I've seen has the low end and the tightness Gojira has. Elitists in 2018 are a dying breed fortunately.
Mario can drum such fast, heavy, hard hitting, complex patterns but what separates him from the rest is how fucking fluidly he puts it all together. Its poetry in motion. He just floats across the kit, its like the drum set is an extension of his body. Everything just sounds so natural and human. Everything from his ride technique to his kick technique...I could fanboy on Mario for hours
@@spudmagnum7394 everything Mario does brann can do but Mario is nonchalant about it. I was trying to be a troll but idk if Mario can sing at the same time so I think brann is better.
The bass plays that in the intro as well, or a slight variation of it. I love how Gojira foreshadows and contextualizes like that. Makes each song feel complete and well thought out.
THANK GOD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THINKING THIS BASS IS SINGING!!! But i will be the only one hearing Joe Duplantier singing when i hear the Riff at the very beginning..
I think just holding that open string hammer on/pull off with guitar perfectly all day while singing and hardly looking at the guitar is just nuts. That repetitive motion with little movement really tenses your fingers out lol.
Wow merci Gojira pour la vidéo ! Franchement, j'en ai encore eu les larmes aux yeux 😭 cette chanson est incroyable, votre jeu est fou, la mise en scène est folle... Carton plein à toutes les équipes ! 🤘🏻
Lyrics: Four hundred thousand years ago They came from outer space And gave us life here We are taking everything for granted I don't think we should do this now And when I see the smoke all around I feel like I'm now From humankind down there I feel like glaciers are my eyes And mountains are my head My heart is ocean And I feel all alone Because everybody's wrong I feel the living What is this thing that we call hate And that's inside of me Get out of here! A world is down And none can rebuild it Disabled lands are evolving My eyes are shut, a vision is dying My head explodes And I fall in disgrace I hold my inner child within And tell him not to cry "don't fear the living" One day you will stand as a king And now fear can erase This light below us Each one of us is now engaged This secret we all have This truth is growing And as a warrior I have to fight I can already feel The love I'll discover I had this dream, our planet surviving The guiding stars always growing And all the worlds The fates all the countries They're all rebuilding at the same time I never fell and always believed in We could evolve and get older Open your eyes and let all this flow Now see a now hope is growing inside We will see our children growing Enjoy :)
@@wayde5545 You unedited comment was "4000 years? Someone please explain. Are they Christians, or maybe scientologists?" To answer the question, as far as I know it's neither. I highly doubt they're scientologists, because it would've been shoved down our throats to join over & over again by now. As for being Christians? There are christians that don't go along with the normal Bible's creation story. Instead you have the Big Bang happening 13.8 billion years ago, the Earth was created 4.5 billion years ago. But the one who created the universe & everything in it was 'God'. As for the significance of 400,000 years, that would be that it is theorised that the Homo sapiens species (Us) diversified from our evolutionary ancestors & became our own species around this time. There's a lot of talk about "the missing link" between the ancient proto-humans & what eventually became us. We haven't found the remains of what links our theorised ancestral species & the species that eventually became us. This is something that deniers of the Theory of Evolution like the latch on to & insert conspiracy theories, religious explanations, or like in this example, suggest that there may have been outside interference by an intelligent species.
@@TheLonelyBrit I think the 400.000 years references panspermia, basically that life came frome somewhere else in the universe and landet on earth some time ago. 400.000 years is more of a placeholder.
The bass line at 4:38 is so smooth how it leads into the end of the song. This song is so nice in its "simplicity", I've really learned to appreciate it.
Huge thrash guy here too. Usually put off by "screaming" like Gojira does, but something about this band is great - been listening to them non stop. Maybe because even when he screams, words are still distinguishable.
Never heard the song until now and I'm blown away. Dude is crazy talented pulling off that lick the whole song while singing better than most other frontmen could dream of. Everyone was super in-sync too. I think it might be time for me to go through Gojira's discography.
Listen to songs like The art of dying, Flying Whales, of blood and salt, Dawn, from the sky, born in winter, Deliverance, Toxic garbage island, The heaviest matter of the universe, the gift of guilt, Silvera, stranded, pray, 04, love, Wolf down the earth, and vacuity. Sorry for so many suggestions but all these songs are amazing. Really all their songs are amazing.
Lyrics... Four hundred thousand years ago They came from outer space and gave us life here And we are just taking everything for granted I don't think we should do this now And when I see the smoke around I feel like I'm not from humankind down there I feel like glaciers are my eyes And mountains are my head, my heart is ocean And I feel all alone 'Cause everybody's wrong, I fear the living What is this thing that we call hate?

His voice is is so explosive. My favorite in all metal for sure. He's one of the few singers who can actually nail growling and singing actual melodies at once.
I remember the first time I heard this tears came out like nothing else.. Thank you Joe, Mario, Christian and Jean-Michel Labadie! I love you UPDATE: I wrote this comment before I started the video, and now when I finished watching it I can safely say, I teared once again.. Its so emotional to me, especially the outro of this song I thought about what Joe and Mario went through with the death of their mother, and put that thought together with the final lyrics- we will see our children growing.. I love you gojira. Thank you
Same here, I always wanted to see it live, now I understand why they never did play it. Sounds absolutely amazing, thank you Gojira for this beautiful gift!
To the band members of GOJIRA.. when I learned of you was soon after the death of my father.. Vacuity was the first song I heard after his passing on Pandora of all applications. After the first listen through I was hooked. I immediately opened TH-cam and played it again about a million times. I’ve already been given a lack of information throughout my lifetime that blinded me. Thank you so much for opening my 3rd eye and saving my life. Since then I’ve bought most of your music and plan to have everything you guys make. You guys are amazing. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 THIS IS EXACTLY What the world needs right now. Sometimes another voice to think for someone else to learn from so others can take action rather than feel like they should speak up; the time for action is now. No one can tell me how 🥰 I’ve made it SO far.. nobody understands how and I don’t expect them to but everyone has their own meaning in life; mission, goal, the end result is what matters most and you’ll never understand until you allow that river to flow. I apologize for the series of puns but to everyone their own understanding of the flip side of life. I love you all. If you guys read this.. a name you should use for a future song is “nyarlethotep” or “god of 1000 faces”
I HAVE BEEN WAITING 14 YEARS TO SEE THIS SONG LIVE! THANK YOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You might like mastodon as well; their drummer is very technically talented and not in a “I’m playing this way because I can” sort of way, if that makes sense
Gosh... One of my favorite song. And perfectly performed. I hope they will do the same for Born In Winter : one of the most mystic song i've ever heard. VOUS DECHIREZ LES GARS !
If I had the power to give immortality to just one band, it would probably be Gojira. God, I hope this band never disbands or goes on hiatus! I still can't be grateful enough to the day I found about these guys 2 years ago! This band has changed the way I feel about music.
N0peD0pe I mean subjective taste is a thing so any band can be hated, even Gojira. This said holy shit was this good! The end was insane with that extra addes parts!
I mean they can play and sing well but the music does nothing for me, don't really see the hype about this band. Don't hate them though, at least the lyrics are relevant.
Coming back to cure my existential dread, as hurricane Milton is potentially about to wipe Tampa, FL off the map...Gojira, youve helped me in ways ineffable
My favorite band of all time, seeing this performance on what is probably my favorite from the record is a privilege and it is completely beautiful in every aspect of its existence.
Honestly, I never fully appreciated this song until now. I liked it, but it definitely wasn't one of my go to songs on this album. Seeing them do this live has brought a new perspective to it.
If a band nails a song like this live, I always have a better appreciation for it, so many bands I didn't like before I saw them live now they some of my favs
does this song make anyone else kinda emotional? not exactly sure why, i guess the lyrics are part of it but the other part is the first time I heard this song was the day my granddad died. the "we will see our children growing" part is beautiful too
My eyes do get watery every time I hear this version of the song. You're not the only one. Especially when Joe sings, "I hold my inner child within and tell him not to cry..."
I have been interested in climate change, global warming, and environmental issues (pollution, biodiversity...), since the end of the 90s. At that time, nobody among my relatives (family, friends) felt concerned by this. They considered me as an anxious teenager. When I discovered this band in 2005 (From Mars to Sirius album), I was totally amazed that a metal band (a French one, and a very talented one, moreover!) could write a song about global warming at the time. Almost 20 years later, I am a father of 2 children, and the lyrics of this song seem even more meaningful to me. I discovered then that many of Gojira songs talk about environment, future of our planet and humankind. Gojira is not only one of the best metal bands right now, but they were also pathfinders 20 years ago. PS : Please forgive my bad English, I am French, and my level in English is much weaker than Joe Duplantier ;)
I've never cried over a song this hard before. The guitar, the vocals, everything. They all work together so well and put to much emotion into the song
I keep coming back to this video all over again. I can't do anything else than respect and admire the skill of this whole band. Especially Mario and Joe, I just love how you can see the way they feel the music. Just amazing.
My favourite song by far! But I can’t just listen to that song on its own...I feel ‘the fall’ after it is like an extended part of this song and they go so well together🤓👍🏻
I was literally blocks away in my apartment when this happened. I wonder wtf I was doing at that moment. For no other reason than curiosity. It's so weird to think that greatness is happening so close.
Mesmerizing music. And I love the fact that they focus on real problems, Metal is is more than just blasphemy and hate. Music and education is the power of knowledge!!! We are more than just humans surviving in this world.
Yeah I think perhaps too many people out there who don't usually consumed metal music get the impression that most if not all metal music is just black metal from wanna be edgelords featuring unintelligible vocals and and lyrics focused on death, etc. Metal may not be mainstream enough to get radio play like the billboard's top 100 but there are a lot of great metal acts out there that don't conform to those kind of stereotypes.
I listen to these guys pretty regularly now, but what you like about them is what I hate. I don't need life lessons from my metal music. Save the water carrying for the system. These lyrics are like listening to hall monitors with drop tuned guitars in the background.
that was just last month haha, and yh now and in 10 years they will but in 20 most of them will be 60... nothing bad iron maiden are 60 and still play great but this music is a lot more technical so yh itll be interesting haha
The guy in black is amazing!

"I hold my inner child within
And tell him not to cry: "Don't fear the living"
One day you will stand as a king
And no fear can erase this light below us
Each one of us is now engaged
This secret we all have, this truth is growing
And as a warrior, I have to fight
I can already feel the love I'll discover"
absolutely beautiful.

My hat's off to the bassist. It takes a high level of taste and restraint to play only simple things firmly, in the midst of virtuosi running incredible techniques; without trying to "compensate upward" to run with them. Rick Laird, from Mahavishnu Orchestra, was great at this; his patience and focus were truly profound. This gentleman here is very close to Laird's level. Well done.
Yes!!! Jean -Michel doesn't get the credit he deserves I think. He is an awesome bassist. Thanks for pointing that out!
And he's absolutely a virtuosic bassist in his own right, but his greatest skill is knowing and perfectly maintaining his place in a song. But he can totally turn it up to 11 when the need arises.
This ghost notes may be haunting the studio till this day!
"We never play this live as it is challenging" /proceeds to rip off a flawless performance. You guys make it look easy. So Awesome
Opolis notice it’s cut kinda short before the outro
Francis Marceau not only on guitar but the drums as well, especially esoteric surgery
ThaTruth223 The ghost notes are fucking a torment too play lmao
Absolutely love Mario.
It’s a fun song to play on guitar. But rhythmically it’s challenging
Francis Marceau dude born in winter kills my hands every time with the tapping
Studio version = Chills down my spine and goosebumps up and down my arm
Live version = all of the above plus the tears that ran down my face.
Gojira truly are such an amazing and powerful group.
Never seen them live, but will aug.18th in Stl..cant wait, best metal/heavy band out right now
@@genebuesking5101 I saw them live. I plan to do it again. You will ascend on Aug. 18th. Forget your phone, don’t record: just be there.
Goosebumps everytime I ear this song
@@DimitriSabadie I don't understand people who record the whole concert with their phones. They're not living in the moment
@@XtremeKillah101 I feel the same.
This is incredible. Joe's voice is on point, it is evolving, he is now a master of clean singing, it is powerful and emotional. His growl voice has changed since Magma, and I am diggin' it so hard. Incredible performance, shivers down my spine.
certainly a different sound, luckily while others musicians loose something, this still sounds pleasant.
a blessing for us
Hockyy Changed since Magma? It’s still a new album, more or less
K9 Rootless yes but i feel like it has changed and Joe is mastering it more and more
Hockyy i wouldn't say he's a "master of clean vocals" they sound pretty good, but it's not like he's Freddie Mercury or something! XD
KuBaYa well it is my opinion ahah
I'm 26 and now that I have a son, the lyrical content of this song hits so much deeper than I could even explain. I come to this when I need to feel like the world is bigger than my problems and perspective for how I'll raise my son in today's world. I love you Gojira 🤘
th-cam.com/video/xUJC4cRoA_M/w-d-xo.html
That's a super neat effect of the song I wasn't expecting. Could you elaborate?:)
@@keagan0000 this song is about humans damaging the Earth and which causes global warming slowly the World will end one day due to this
You have gotta hear The Ascent by Caligua's Horse, then. Those lyrics are about the singer passing the torch of experiencing life to his daughter. Like this song, I'd place that one very high on my list of most important songs I know. Congrats on the kid, I hope he has a happy life
Good for you bro! You will see your children growing!
Joe is amazing. He has the most emotional voice I've ever heard in metal music. He gives me goosebumps!
I know this is late but you should look up Devin Townsend - Deadhead(live), it's fucking enthralling
I love both. But Devin Townsend is on a whole new level for any vocalest honestly. Almost godlike.
Maynard James Keenan
Devin Townsend is from another dimension.
What are those vocals!? holy shit i cant even...AMAZING
*begins throwing ice cubes at the globe*

275Ranger275 This is so sad
I just laughed my ass off
Jean Michel holding down the groove like no other. Honestly one of the best bassists in metal. So much energy during shows too.
Best metal band in history. Most innovative band. Musicianship. Heavy. Influential. I just can't explain how I feel when I listen to Gojira...and then you have videos like this. I'm just so grateful I can enjoy them. Thank you, Gojira.
I completely agree.
KC Deportes Most elitists would never put them among the classics, but i dont give a shit. One of the best bands ever.
Lightbringer They sound heavier than your favorite band will ever sound. No band I've seen has the low end and the tightness Gojira has. Elitists in 2018 are a dying breed fortunately.
I actually slightly mis-read this, i wouldn't agree that they're the best in history, i think that's too subjective. They are brilliant though.
The Batman And that's how it should be. YOU enjoy a band/whatever. YOU are feeling. That's the important thing.
This song is the perfect conclusion for the perfect album. Thanks for this gift, this performance made me cry
0:00 instant like
I liked during the ad
i liked before they made the song
You like blackscreens?
Gilles Andrea same tbh ❤
I did the same and I finished with tears of joy, incredible performance
Jamming along this feels like you're with them. Can't describe the feeling, but its the same every time
Mario can drum such fast, heavy, hard hitting, complex patterns but what separates him from the rest is how fucking fluidly he puts it all together. Its poetry in motion. He just floats across the kit, its like the drum set is an extension of his body. Everything just sounds so natural and human. Everything from his ride technique to his kick technique...I could fanboy on Mario for hours
Listen to brann dailor from mastodon
@@Navrozs I'm familiar with mastodon. He's no joke either
It would be amazing if he could dig more latin rythims
@@spudmagnum7394 everything Mario does brann can do but Mario is nonchalant about it. I was trying to be a troll but idk if Mario can sing at the same time so I think brann is better.
@@antonluerre6929Both are phenomenal drummers
4:38 I love the bass at this part, it's kinda like it's singing "we will see our children growing" before Joe does.
The bass plays that in the intro as well, or a slight variation of it. I love how Gojira foreshadows and contextualizes like that. Makes each song feel complete and well thought out.
THANK GOD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THINKING THIS BASS IS SINGING!!!
But i will be the only one hearing Joe Duplantier singing when i hear the Riff at the very beginning..
Haha, you're right! Cannot un-hear it now either.
YEAH I GUESS THAT WAS THE POINT OF COMPOSING IT LIKE THAT
The bass does a little foreshadowing of the coming melody change and I love it.
The endurance that drummer has is insane
he does constant double bass for 1 hour straight every day
he used to, that's how he got to where he is, eh?
The more technique, the less sweat
It's the vegetarian diet.
I think just holding that open string hammer on/pull off with guitar perfectly all day while singing and hardly looking at the guitar is just nuts. That repetitive motion with little movement really tenses your fingers out lol.
Wow merci Gojira pour la vidéo !
Franchement, j'en ai encore eu les larmes aux yeux 😭 cette chanson est incroyable, votre jeu est fou, la mise en scène est folle... Carton plein à toutes les équipes ! 🤘🏻
Lyrics:
Four hundred thousand years ago
They came from outer space
And gave us life here
We are taking everything for granted
I don't think we should do this now
And when I see the smoke all around
I feel like I'm now
From humankind down there
I feel like glaciers are my eyes
And mountains are my head
My heart is ocean
And I feel all alone
Because everybody's wrong
I feel the living
What is this thing that we call hate
And that's inside of me
Get out of here!
A world is down
And none can rebuild it
Disabled lands are evolving
My eyes are shut, a vision is dying
My head explodes
And I fall in disgrace
I hold my inner child within
And tell him not to cry
"don't fear the living"
One day you will stand as a king
And now fear can erase
This light below us
Each one of us is now engaged
This secret we all have
This truth is growing
And as a warrior I have to fight
I can already feel
The love I'll discover
I had this dream, our planet surviving
The guiding stars always growing
And all the worlds
The fates all the countries
They're all rebuilding at the same time
I never fell and always believed in
We could evolve and get older
Open your eyes and let all this flow
Now see a now hope is growing inside
We will see our children growing
Enjoy :)
TheLonelyBrit thank you!
I Hope so 😃
400 000 years ago? Someone please explain.
@@wayde5545 You unedited comment was "4000 years? Someone please explain. Are they Christians, or maybe scientologists?"
To answer the question, as far as I know it's neither. I highly doubt they're scientologists, because it would've been shoved down our throats to join over & over again by now.
As for being Christians? There are christians that don't go along with the normal Bible's creation story. Instead you have the Big Bang happening 13.8 billion years ago, the Earth was created 4.5 billion years ago. But the one who created the universe & everything in it was 'God'.
As for the significance of 400,000 years, that would be that it is theorised that the Homo sapiens species (Us) diversified from our evolutionary ancestors & became our own species around this time.
There's a lot of talk about "the missing link" between the ancient proto-humans & what eventually became us. We haven't found the remains of what links our theorised ancestral species & the species that eventually became us.
This is something that deniers of the Theory of Evolution like the latch on to & insert conspiracy theories, religious explanations, or like in this example, suggest that there may have been outside interference by an intelligent species.
@@TheLonelyBrit I think the 400.000 years references panspermia, basically that life came frome somewhere else in the universe and landet on earth some time ago. 400.000 years is more of a placeholder.
I like to imagine they wrote the intro to this song on a day when they all forgot their guitar picks.
It happens that way lol
intro/the whole song
DirtyScab what a cute thing to happen to such a talented band💕💕💕💕💕
Hmmm even the bassist have his pick lol
Excessive use of tapping = pure shite. Except for the "Heaviest matter..." riff, it's beyond me how successful they've become.
Live versions of Gojira's songs are always the best. They feel so natural. I hope they record and release Maciste all'Inferno again one day
aixPenta that would be ill
Hell yeah dude!
I want a girl that looks at me the way the band looks at the drummer.
I just want the drummer ... he's cute as hell in this...
I want a girl that looks at me the way I look at the drummer, honestly
I just want a girl :(
@@iniquity7 Is it really too much to ask for 😢😢
@@iniquity7 Same here.
This song makes me want to cry. They look so passionate in this recording😢
that's a damn good feeling.
400,000 years ago, Mario and Joe came to this planet from outer space.
I wouldnt doubt it.
Straight up. I always had the sneaking suspicion about these guys..
Not only Joe and Mario, the whole band is insanely good.
I joke could be funny before Magma album
@Scott Heslin Get out of 2009 man.
The bass line at 4:38 is so smooth how it leads into the end of the song. This song is so nice in its "simplicity", I've really learned to appreciate it.
Love how it mirrors the vocals
The way the voice harmonizes with the bass on the last 3 minutes is so beautiful, it's something you don't see everyday
We don't deserve Gojira.
still glad we have them though
Or Gojira don't deserve us ...
We deserve nothing.
They are way too pure and good for us
**removes cocks from mouth** - "what did you just say!?"
I’m a old school speed , thrash metal guy. I love these guys!! My new favorite metal band!!!!!!!
Huge thrash guy here too. Usually put off by "screaming" like Gojira does, but something about this band is great - been listening to them non stop. Maybe because even when he screams, words are still distinguishable.
Same here \m/ But these guys smash it \m/ And they kill live \m/
@@NickGarrett Same here man. This is the only "screaming" band I actually enjoy.
But they're not thrash metal
@@AshkanPacino13 yes , they are thrash, groove, prog death metal band
Never heard the song until now and I'm blown away. Dude is crazy talented pulling off that lick the whole song while singing better than most other frontmen could dream of. Everyone was super in-sync too. I think it might be time for me to go through Gojira's discography.
Do it. Please. Go in chronological order. Pay extra close attention to the 4 newest albums.
It'll change your life.
Are you still the same guy? Don't think so... ;)
Listen to songs like The art of dying, Flying Whales, of blood and salt, Dawn, from the sky, born in winter, Deliverance, Toxic garbage island, The heaviest matter of the universe, the gift of guilt, Silvera, stranded, pray, 04, love, Wolf down the earth, and vacuity. Sorry for so many suggestions but all these songs are amazing. Really all their songs are amazing.
All you so called Gojira Mega-Fans who have only heard Magma... lol

His voice is is so explosive. My favorite in all metal for sure. He's one of the few singers who can actually nail growling and singing actual melodies at once.
Have you listened Spencer Sotelo, from Periphery? If not, try Stranger Things (=
Mikael Stern
And also devin townsend
@@CJCJCJCJ Deadhead 💦
Try Dir En Grey
I remember the first time I heard this tears came out like nothing else..
Thank you Joe, Mario, Christian and Jean-Michel Labadie!
I love you
UPDATE: I wrote this comment before I started the video, and now when I finished watching it I can safely say, I teared once again.. Its so emotional to me, especially the outro of this song
I thought about what Joe and Mario went through with the death of their mother, and put that thought together with the final lyrics- we will see our children growing..
I love you gojira.
Thank you
Orel Arokidas me too man its super heavy and theres so much weight to every word and riff.
Jean-Michel aka Mitch
This song was made before his mother passed away
alegrin1 How? It's on the From Mars to Sirius Album from years ago?
alegrin1 this is not from Magma
my favorite Gojira song of all time....
Merci pour ce cadeau !
Kaosware ils sont énormes !!
Same here, I always wanted to see it live, now I understand why they never did play it. Sounds absolutely amazing, thank you Gojira for this beautiful gift!
To the band members of GOJIRA.. when I learned of you was soon after the death of my father.. Vacuity was the first song I heard after his passing on Pandora of all applications. After the first listen through I was hooked. I immediately opened TH-cam and played it again about a million times. I’ve already been given a lack of information throughout my lifetime that blinded me. Thank you so much for opening my 3rd eye and saving my life. Since then I’ve bought most of your music and plan to have everything you guys make. You guys are amazing. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 THIS IS EXACTLY What the world needs right now. Sometimes another voice to think for someone else to learn from so others can take action rather than feel like they should speak up; the time for action is now. No one can tell me how 🥰 I’ve made it SO far.. nobody understands how and I don’t expect them to but everyone has their own meaning in life; mission, goal, the end result is what matters most and you’ll never understand until you allow that river to flow. I apologize for the series of puns but to everyone their own understanding of the flip side of life. I love you all. If you guys read this.. a name you should use for a future song is “nyarlethotep” or “god of 1000 faces”
.🍃🙏
Joe gives me freaking chills with his voice. Absolutely incredible.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING 14 YEARS TO SEE THIS SONG LIVE! THANK YOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Me too
My thoughts exactly , friend. It's monumental.
Nice Leprous cover
I think weve been waiting 400000 years to be exact :D
Yes the timing could've never been more perfect !
Omg the emotion he puts in the vocals, it gave me chills, i love Gojira
This is one of the *SICKEST* drum beats I've ever heard and I have been playing drums for 42 years
This is one of the SICKEST bands I've ever heard in my lifetime, and I'm 54yo!
Their drummer is INTENSE! I love him!!! \m/
You might like mastodon as well; their drummer is very technically talented and not in a “I’m playing this way because I can” sort of way, if that makes sense
Nothing to say to Mario. But Jamie Saint Meirat from Ulcerate... ;)
I didn't say anything.
Anyway, I too love Gojira
his voice is so uniqueeee and not as dry as others...loved the feel
But sometimes you can listen Jonathan Davis from Korn,is not a same but you can fell something like that
Yes i was gonna say he sounds a little like Jonathan Davis
his vocals are between dirty and brutal, and thats why everuone likes him hahaha
2:09 The heaviest drummer of the Universe xD
This energy in the playing is very impressive.
Ostruc
Wat?
Hail Gojira 🙌🏽
nkvd41 they has a song "Heaviest matter of the universe"
"We will see our children growing." This is so powerful.
Huh, I always thought it was Glowing. Which, ya know, in context...kinda fit and I never thought about it again
People who think metal is sound.....
I just don't care for what they are missing out on anymore,this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard
This song brings me tears every time I hear it... Is it just me?
You me both
Nope I'm just
It's sad but true
I don't know why I'm always crying hearing this one.
Oh it gets weepy...
Gosh... One of my favorite song. And perfectly performed. I hope they will do the same for Born In Winter : one of the most mystic song i've ever heard. VOUS DECHIREZ LES GARS !
Born in Winter is another fave of mine..if they do it live.. Ill...die...
The unbelievable power in the Drums and the vocals. So deep
And they are brothers for real
It just amazes me how good they sound.
One of the most emotional songs ever written
Most people are commenting metal is dead. No. This music just got not as much as exposure like pop music.
Thank you Gojira.
If I had the power to give immortality to just one band, it would probably be Gojira. God, I hope this band never disbands or goes on hiatus!
I still can't be grateful enough to the day I found about these guys 2 years ago! This band has changed the way I feel about music.
Drake Parker I'd give it to Iron Maiden.
Drake Parker I love gojira, but this would be tough, I’d either give it to between the buried and me, Periphery, the contortionist, or gojira
They're basically boring as shit now...great first three albums but got nothing to follow it up with...style gets old real quick
Drake Parker so true
How can somebody hate Gojira? They are undoubtedly the best music act today! Keep rocking my dudes! \m/
N0peD0pe I mean subjective taste is a thing so any band can be hated, even Gojira. This said holy shit was this good! The end was insane with that extra addes parts!
I don't hate them. But I don't like them. That's the reality of subjective taste. Are they bad? Hell no.
I mean they can play and sing well but the music does nothing for me, don't really see the hype about this band. Don't hate them though, at least the lyrics are relevant.
Henry Walton True
Henry Walton If the music does nothing for you, then why even click on the video? Lol
Coming back to cure my existential dread, as hurricane Milton is potentially about to wipe Tampa, FL off the map...Gojira, youve helped me in ways ineffable
Damn, Joe still sounds the best and Mario, always going crazy behind the kit. So fuckin good!
My favorite band of all time, seeing this performance on what is probably my favorite from the record is a privilege and it is completely beautiful in every aspect of its existence.
gojira is perfection Good profile picture bro, lol
Honestly, I never fully appreciated this song until now. I liked it, but it definitely wasn't one of my go to songs on this album. Seeing them do this live has brought a new perspective to it.
Yes! This is the best version I ever heard. The vocals are so much better in this live performance.
Yeah I really love this song more now since this vid
If a band nails a song like this live, I always have a better appreciation for it, so many bands I didn't like before I saw them live now they some of my favs
So blessed to see them in Florida!!! 🙏🏽 pit tickets and got to mix it up 🤘🏽
It's been said, but this band is the best metal band on the planet and have been for longer than I've known they exist. Existentially vital listening.
does this song make anyone else kinda emotional? not exactly sure why, i guess the lyrics are part of it but the other part is the first time I heard this song was the day my granddad died. the "we will see our children growing" part is beautiful too
Only heartless people don't get emotional listening to this song
The whole song is pure emotion
Nah you’re not the only one this song is so beautiful
I expect to cry when I play this one.
My eyes do get watery every time I hear this version of the song. You're not the only one. Especially when Joe sings, "I hold my inner child within and tell him not to cry..."
I have been interested in climate change, global warming, and environmental issues (pollution, biodiversity...), since the end of the 90s. At that time, nobody among my relatives (family, friends) felt concerned by this. They considered me as an anxious teenager.
When I discovered this band in 2005 (From Mars to Sirius album), I was totally amazed that a metal band (a French one, and a very talented one, moreover!) could write a song about global warming at the time. Almost 20 years later, I am a father of 2 children, and the lyrics of this song seem even more meaningful to me.
I discovered then that many of Gojira songs talk about environment, future of our planet and humankind.
Gojira is not only one of the best metal bands right now, but they were also pathfinders 20 years ago.
PS : Please forgive my bad English, I am French, and my level in English is much weaker than Joe Duplantier ;)
Hail from Brasil. PLEASE, Gojira, PLEASE, record this song ALIVE nowadays. We all need it.:*
It's incredible how good they photoshopped a shirt on mario, it looks like he is actually wearing one
HAHAHAHAHAHA right?
I've never cried over a song this hard before. The guitar, the vocals, everything. They all work together so well and put to much emotion into the song
ItsTobberos pussy
@@Earthad23 Why are you such an asshole? :I
Haaa, gayyy!
I feel ya man, it hit me damn hard. So much emotion flowing from it
This song as so much heart put into it. It’s trip of emotions. It’s one of my favorites from them.
I keep coming back to this video all over again. I can't do anything else than respect and admire the skill of this whole band. Especially Mario and Joe, I just love how you can see the way they feel the music. Just amazing.
Everytime I listen to the album version I realize this version is how this song was meant to sound.
This makes me want to cry every single time I hear it
I had this feeling when i was listening to shooting star
Merci Gojira. Now I'll be waiting for Born in Winter Live.
That is on my "bucket list",
My favourite song by far! But I can’t just listen to that song on its own...I feel ‘the fall’ after it is like an extended part of this song and they go so well together🤓👍🏻
Would be pretty sick if it happen!!
Real Band, Real Heart, Real Music.
The older I get, the more I appreciate and understand the meaning in their lyrics. I will never love a group more than Gojira.
I was literally blocks away in my apartment when this happened. I wonder wtf I was doing at that moment. For no other reason than curiosity. It's so weird to think that greatness is happening so close.
Mesmerizing music.
And I love the fact that they focus on real problems, Metal is is more than just blasphemy and hate.
Music and education is the power of knowledge!!!
We are more than just humans surviving in this world.
"More than human surviving in this world" I hope so
One of the many reasons why i love this band. They're socially minded as it should be
Yeah I think perhaps too many people out there who don't usually consumed metal music get the impression that most if not all metal music is just black metal from wanna be edgelords featuring unintelligible vocals and and lyrics focused on death, etc.
Metal may not be mainstream enough to get radio play like the billboard's top 100 but there are a lot of great metal acts out there that don't conform to those kind of stereotypes.
this would be a relevant topic on this video if global warming were an actual issue.
I listen to these guys pretty regularly now, but what you like about them is what I hate. I don't need life lessons from my metal music. Save the water carrying for the system. These lyrics are like listening to hall monitors with drop tuned guitars in the background.
I listen to this song every morning before getting to work for almost two weeks. Its getting better with every listening
i can exactly feel this struggle every morning but gojira helps me to deal with this fucked up feelings
That drum pattern is like a modern day Rosanna. Timeless. Perfect.
People are talking about what bands will headline future festivals (in 10-20 years) when all older bands have quit.
Gojira will.
Yes! I'm okay with this 🤘
Vitalism will too
Gojira headlined bloodstock a couple months ago here in England. never really listened to them before but they had an epic show
Fact.
that was just last month haha, and yh now and in 10 years they will but in 20 most of them will be 60... nothing bad iron maiden are 60 and still play great but this music is a lot more technical so yh itll be interesting haha
Well folks I think this is it, the video that gets me into Gojira
yeah man and it didn't need chicks, cars, or money being flaunted... just 4 dudes playing music. No gimmicks needed
Lewis Reeves I’ve been listening a few days. This one may have sealed the deal
Same here. Listened to this then checked out the Gift of Guilt live video and I'm hooked!
Lewis Reeves now go check out their live Poland video and enjoy!
Gojira easily the best band in the world right now. Not just because of the music itself but how much its relevant to the crisis in the world.
Johnny Mark could you suggest some other good modern bands? (Obviously not the really big ones, cause I porbably know them)
Beyond Creation, maybe?
Jakub Kun I know them, i'm not a big fan of the vocals. Great instrumentals though
Intronaut? Not sure you will like vocals either
Alkaloid, Fallujah, Veld, Leprous, Aryeon, The Pineapple Thief.
My heart overflows with happiness for existing at the same time as this band, thank you Gojira
This is amazing. I wish they'd do something like this for "Born in Winter"
Damn, me too.
