For those that do not know. This song was written as a companion to Arkham City the video game by Rocksteady Studios. The song itsself is written about/as a companion to the Killing Joke. A famous Batman graphic novel written by Alan Moore. The point of the book is that anyone can have one bad day that will make you lose control and go deranged. The video snippets we see are from The Man Who Laughs a film adaptation of the novel by Victor Hugo. The appearance of Gwynplain as portrayed by Conrad Veidt served as the visual inspiration for the Joker from artist Bill Finger and writer Bob Kane. So by putting the Man Who Laughs as the background video they have brought their song full circle from the inspired to the inspiree.
Even though every work is derivative, the creative process has the ability to build something even greater than each of its parts. I've heard the song before in the context of arkham city. Its strange how it feels both familiar and new. The original actor from this piece is truly haunting. Maybe Claudio was introduced to the connection or he explored it out on his own, but just seeing how the inspiration has carried through to our present time is impressive.
I agree, but most people ibshow it complain that his voice is too high. The same people who will listen to led zeppelin without impunity. It's really just an excuse not to explore music. Music is more often than not appreciated for the wrong reasons imo.
So technically there may actually be legal reasons they are allowed with Arkham Asylum as a creator. I know Warner Brothers is very lenient if you are “in the club” which they get kickbacks but are allowed to add to the canon as there are alternative universes coexisting in story
This song is such a banger. Coheed is so criminally underrated. If they don’t get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday, us Fence Kids might have to riot 😤
Yesterday was the 9 year anniversary of my daughter who passed away at 3 months from SIDS. Her name is Cambria. This popping up today makes me feel like she's absolutely is with me and my husband. TYSM co&ca..been a long time fan since 2003 and your music has been a blessing to me 🙏💯🗽 edit: from my husband and I thank you for your love 🥹 one among the fence ✌️
That's exactly how it works. Divine Intervention. Just as you, yourself, are not merely a Woman. But in actuality, you, yourself are an actual AngeL, if you embrace becoming.
All those haunting layers of "We're one in the saaaaammmmeee, Deraaaannnged, HAHA, HAHA"'s at the end are really buried in this mix :( that part always sent chills down my spine especially since it all builds up to that moment. Personally preferred the higher pitched "world will prove empty, I promise you will always remember me" and "streets of misfortune, I pick the innocent from my dirty teeth" as the main vocal. It IS interesting, however, using that lower range as the main vocal on that part in a cool way though. The more I listen, the more it grows on me. Plus, that's how Claudio sings it live. Overall, great mix. Chris Pennie's drums sound crystal clear and huge. People don't give him enough credit for being their drummer for a hot minute.
Was so pumped as soon as I realized the "visualizer" was just clips from The Man Who Laughs 😍 I finally made myself watch the film last year and it's such a heartbreaking story 😭 the sound of Deranged fit the feeling pretty well imo, and it was super clever of them to use this for the video, considering both the song and the films' connections to the Joker 😌
@@FrameworksPhoto I think they just re-released it because of "The Joke" (which people think is for the upcoming VR-only "Batman: Arkham Shadow", or possibly for "Joker: Folie à Deux").
Just when you think Coheed and Cambria couldn't get any better, they gotta drop this Arkham City Gem on all of us. Thank you for going above and beyond for COTF
This music video inspired me to go watch the film. For those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Such a tragic tale, and all the emotion is conveyed expertly, even without the modern convenience of sound.
Storytelling through silent film was a whole other beast, and the techniques have largely be forgotten with the advance of cinematic technology and the emphasis on spectacle for entertainment in film. Silent film actors required such discipline of movement and subtlety that they could convey entire stories through facial expressions and body language alone, sometimes even needing to emote through literal inches of wax and greasepaint. If you fancy tracking down some others, try the German Expressionist films of Robert Weine ("The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari") and Fritz Lang ("Metropolis"), the Soviet Montage of Sergei Einstein ("Battleship Potemkin"), and, of course, the truly insane camera and stunt work of Buster Keaton ("The General").
I looked this band up after a friend posted one song I was meh on, but this one ohhhhh back to the band I loved back in the early 2000's. Outstanding Coheed and Cambria!!!
All the artists I grew up with hitting the 30 year marks all round. Every one of them absolutely in control of their sound - Coheed no exception. What an illustrious career for Claudio Sanchez, surefire destined child for the Halls of Fame.
Holy shit I loved this song and hadn't heard it since it was released. I just sang along again for the first times in literal years, thanks for the welcome reminder!
I have been a massive Coheed fan since 2003. Been to several shows and even got the keywork on my shoulder. I am almost positive i have NEVER heard this song!!
@@itsyaboiherman If I had to take a guess, the original version of the song is written in the form of a letter portraying the Joker's thoughts from him towards Batman, as the song was originally part of the Arkham City Video Game back in 2012 or so, whereas now it's all about a deformed man falling for a blind woman who can't see his deformity, and a blind woman falling for him, she accepts his disfigurement, probably the only person to understand and accept, and then she gets killed in a cruel twist of fate, so it's a sad, sad story.. Both are disfigured, and the town goes insane, AKA deranged.
@@leonhart829 - or it could be the remastering of the song. The video is clips from the silent film "The Man Who Laughs" based on the Victor Hugo novel of the same name, and Conrad Veidt's portrayal of the mutilated and disfigured Gwynplaine was the inspiration for the Joker in subsequent years. As for Dea, the blind girl (played by Mary Philbin), you're correct...she was the only person Gwynplaine could love that he knew wasn't horrified or otherwise moved by his appearance.
I've watched it recently and its on youtube. Its crazy how i could watch it and feel every scene and enjoy at the same time get sad at every moment, never had a thought of "this is boring there is no dialogue and sound."
Man. I listened to this on repeat back in the day. Kind of forgot about it. Thanks for releasing it again! Been a child of the fence since a teenager and I am so happy to see the continued success.
Words cannot explain how happy i am that youve remade my absolute favourite song of yours since the Arkham City soundtrack was taken off Spotify and i lost my digital copy of the album 10 years ago
I know this is just a collection of scenes from a movie, but the editing along with the music is subtly brilliant here, especially with the last chorus toward the end. I'm so glad this song has a new lease on life.
Just because it's been inspired by prior greatness does NOT mean its worth reverence presently. They are capable of more. We shouldn't expect anything less.
I'm genuinely so glad this got a new mix. i've loved this song for years but have only ever found trash quality. There are so many new notes that I can hear now!
Loved this and the clip fit so well ❤. He definitely had that Joker character feel and even tho this was not Arkham City I felt it was a perfect visual for Deranged. 🥰.
I thought this was a remake at first lol when i first discovered this song for the Arkham game when they released it i thought it was awesome. I listened to it on repeat for over a year. Then once day listening to it at work i was in deep thought about a break up and somehow subconsciously focused in on the " ha ha, ha ha ) " then it was like a train hit me so I restarted the song and then realized " I pick the innocent from my Dirty Teeth " 👀 this entire song is the Joker talking to Batman 🤯🤯 👆🏾Coheed and Cambria will forever be a legendary Tier Band 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the better mix FOR SURE. 🖤 The Drums and Guitar sound WAY better and more full. I will say it's quieter than the original, tho, and The "HA HA's" at the end SOUND more "deranged" with the higher pitched laughs. Even when Claud says "DERAAAAAAANNGED," it sounds more haunting on the original.
If people would understand that the art of expression is on display and the medium is still claudio as a vessel. Its interpersonal and everlasting reflection for anyone to relate too
God this makes me want a Joker and Batman inspired album even more now. Or just an album about the Translucid comic he did (super inspired by the same concept)

@@recantedforger5850its beautiful how art from bygone eras can still resonate and find new audiences 100 years after they were even made.
had to look it up thats amazing
Gee cool thanks for that pal
The Killing Joke is that comic if anyone reads the first comic and wants to check it out. Great comment Coolerest ❤
Coheed and Cambria is literally one of thee coolest bands ever.
lol no

Can’t legally use the Joker from Batman due to copyright issues? No problem, just use his inspiration from a film now in public domain!
Honestly genius
This comment made me go make sure the Joke's music video was still up.
Genius😎
So technically there may actually be legal reasons they are allowed with Arkham Asylum as a creator.
I know Warner Brothers is very lenient if you are “in the club” which they get kickbacks but are allowed to add to the canon as there are alternative universes coexisting in story
But this song was on the soundtrack for Batman Arkham city and the soundtrack just disappeared. I’ve been trying to find this song for 10 years now
This song is such a banger. Coheed is so criminally underrated. If they don’t get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame someday, us Fence Kids might have to riot 😤
Man your battle stations!
The rock and roll Hall of fame is a joke anyway. Iron maiden isn't in there but Jay z is tells you all you need to know about it
I'm ready to riot now
Hey man i named my kid cambria… i LOVE when i come across the ones among the fence
Hilarious 😂
No gatekeeping or hipstering. Im happy ppl are hearing this for the 1st time that feeling is envious. Awesome band and song

Deranged is how I found coheed 10+ years ago. That Batman album was such a banger. Been in love with Coheed ever since.
It was Welcome Home in the trailer for the animated movie “9” for me
It's the opppsite for me, I've been listening to them since Second Stage and I only just heard this song today.
Can we start a petition to have this included in the new Joker movie or something so more people hear it, and it gets the recognition it deserves
That sounds beyond cool
its better

Just learned that this song was a bonus track for Batman Arkham City.
This song is actually over 12 yrs old
Nice to know! The song catches the vibe of "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3" if you ask me.
is a new record? new album coming?
@@wildmatador I'm sure. Usually when they release singles, that means something is coming
@@FrameworksPhoto I think they just re-released it because of "The Joke" (which people think is for the upcoming VR-only "Batman: Arkham Shadow", or possibly for "Joker: Folie à Deux").
That batman album is how I found Coheed 12 years ago
Ever since I found Coheed & Cambria back in 2005, I can't imagine life without Claudio and the crew.
Same
Just when you think Coheed and Cambria couldn't get any better, they gotta drop this Arkham City Gem on all of us. Thank you for going above and beyond for COTF
The music tells its own story while Claudio just pours it out. Coheed's musicality is unmatched.
From first hearing you guys in 02, into watching you warped tour 03. A true testament of greatness through time!

I saw it on TH-cam a couple days ago it's a pretty good silent film another good one is Metropolis
The man who laughs is a fantastic film and this is a brilliant move by the band.
holy shit. this new mix sounds amazing. i never wouldve thought they could make this song even even better
I looked this band up after a friend posted one song I was meh on, but this one ohhhhh back to the band I loved back in the early 2000's. Outstanding Coheed and Cambria!!!
Their range is great
Well played using the man who laughs
I've loved this song since it's release waaaay back then. Can never get tired of this one
Its a love letter to Batman. By Joker. Its amazing 😍
As a Batman and Coheed lover..i absolutely love that this song is about The Joker 🃏
Damn I'm addicted to this song!
“There is no me without you”
Love this movie. One of my favorite silents.
Funny to see it pop up in stuff like this now that it entered public domain this year.
I love this song!!!! The video is such a cool touch. Silent movies FTW
All the artists I grew up with hitting the 30 year marks all round.
Every one of them absolutely in control of their sound - Coheed no exception.
What an illustrious career for Claudio Sanchez, surefire destined child for the Halls of Fame.
Not afraid to say that this is my #1 favorite out of all their songs.
It's really good. Grows on me more every time I revisit it.
Thank you Coheed for being so underrated and amazing
Anyone else hear a tennis ball smack mixed with the snare during the choruses? It's absolutely amazing. Idk who mixed this but it's insane.
Holy shit I loved this song and hadn't heard it since it was released. I just sang along again for the first times in literal years, thanks for the welcome reminder!
It just disappeared for anyone who didn't buy the CD. I lost my copy in a fire but I'm so happy to hear it again 😊
Saw them last night they were great
One of my favorite songs ❤
I have been a massive Coheed fan since 2003. Been to several shows and even got the keywork on my shoulder. I am almost positive i have NEVER heard this song!!
Same, minus the tattoo, I was surprised when I started reading the comments lol
same I'm shocked at how good this is
Dude same. Been a coheed fan for a long time and I’ve never heard this song.
I hear the original "Shabutie" in this one and I freaking love it!!!✨
Now I wish they'd go back and remaster or reimagine their Shabutie demos. I just want "Cassiopeia" on Spotify, damn it! Claudio, please lol
OMG right! Everything Shabutie put out (at least what was able to hear) is totally worth the re-visit. That'd be so awesome!@@BakaTheStruggler
Sick. This song is underrated asf IYKYK

Hell yeah, thanks Claudio and team!
This is such a great movie. It's a silent movie but it's really sweet.
Anyone else get chills during that intense back and forth stare-out?
The higher vocal part in the chorus needed to be higher in the mix personally, but even then still a great remix.
That's my only problem with the remix. Other than that it's perfect.
Is it a remix or is that Josh drumming instead or Chris/Taylor whichever of the two it was
They are as good as they sound
I love that New 52 inspired Joker coverart with the removed face!
I know this is just a collection of scenes from a movie, but the editing along with the music is subtly brilliant here, especially with the last chorus toward the end. I'm so glad this song has a new lease on life.
The vastness of the collective imaginations that key in on this story would be such a great thing to behold on paper!
Phenomenal work wow
How’d they know my day needed a little more “ha ~ ha”?
oh shit are we bringing this back?? hell yeah
This is so cool! I didnt know they did this for Arkham Asylum. Absolute jam and definitely on brand for Coheed
Just because it's been inspired by prior greatness does NOT mean its worth reverence presently. They are capable of more. We shouldn't expect anything less.
Ok this video is incredible
I really want to watch the film, now. Never been interested in silent films but maybe I’ve been sleeping on some good stuff.
@@necrosaplingSame!
@@necrosapling the German expressionist era of silent films are golden. The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and Nosferatu are both brilliant.
I'm so excited to see you guys and Primus, two of the best bands I've seen live doing their thing

When you find out this song came out like 10 years ago on the Batman Arkham City game... You sneaky sneaky band.
