Wish Upon A Blackstar, one of the most anticipated albums of the year, is a masterwork by a master artist. The album's sixteen songs seamlessly blend genres from Electro and Dubstep to Rock and Orchestral with an intricacy and precision seldom heard in today's Electronic music. But it's not just studio wizardry and digital complexity; even the best production has little staying power without strong songcraft to back it up, and this is where Celldweller brings his deeply honed songwriting ability to bear, making Wish Upon A Blackstar an album that will long outlast its contemporaries. Truly epic in scope and execution, Wish Upon A Blackstar will not only leave a lasting mark on the always-changing landscape of Electronic music, but will stand the test of time as a remarkable statement of artistic virtue in a sea of disposable trends.

Haha, it's okay. I don't blame Poland. There are trolls everywhere & they're all the same. They foolishly think their opinion matters but sadly for them, it doesn't. //_^
Right.
What, Poland? What does Poland have to do with anything here o.O?
@@captainbodyshot2839 I think some trolls were trying to culturally appropriate this song. Who cares though, haters gonna hate
It's an amazing song, man. Keep 'em coming, please.
Seriously? How does this song have anything to do with culture? I mean, I'm Polish as you can tell from my name, but I can't believe people tried to attribute this song to my culture...
I love how most of the comments now are telling Theists and Atheists to stop arguing; havent seen a single atheist/theist comment...
Klayton's magic. You see people telling haters to fck off, because if it doesn't suit them may they just not listen to it... And not a single hater comment xD
probably because those comments have been downvoted into oblivion and people telling them to shut up have all the thumbs ups (and rightfully so, lmao it's a fucking song)
I'm atheist and love this song.. only discovered this band an hour ago and have been hooked by this.. and as far as the lyrics go, as far as I can tell, it's just meaningless artistic escapism
I don't understand where the hate comes from to start with. It's not like the expression "sing hallelujah" is inextricably tied with religion in our secular society. It's so commonplace that it can just mean "rejoice" without necessarily having the religious aspect ingrained. Taking the use of a phrase as some sort of religious statement seems pretty knee-jerk in my humble opinion.
I know I'm late to comment on this, but I'm an atheist, but I just see this, and many others as songs. Nothing more, nothing less.
Celldweller is the only person who i've seen able to infuse rock so well with electro and dubstep..... he's so good.
His asking alexandria remix is so good!
Try Sullivan King
Guys. Stop complaining about people who are complaining about comments about people complaining about complaints.
Wait, now I'm complaining, CRAP.
Lmao
COMPLAIN-CEPTION
YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!! - complainers gonna complain...
I don't understand why this track has so many dislikes.
Klayton has always mixed various styles together in his music.
To me this album wasn't a break from character.
He basically channeled all of his influences for this one.
It think it's amazing.
Thanks!! //_^
Why do people hate this song?
Its actually very good.
EarnSomeRespect Taters gonna tate.
IKR!
EarnSomeRespect people are weird
At this point I think people hate some bands Becuse where their from. Detroit makes some bad ass artist
Hhg Given Jhf totally agree with you there xD
“Sing hallelujah cause you cant change anything.” My favorite line
My brother introduced me to this a few years ago and we both still love it!
I wish I was skilled enough to create an animation, cause I vividly see very specific scenes in my head with how this track plays
Klasse !!! Klasse Song !! Klasse Musik !!❤
As somebody who had never heard of Dubstep until very recently, I always considered Celldweller's work to be Electronic Rock occasionally combined with orchestrals. So much classic Electronica is now being rebranded by fans as Dubstep for some reason.
i've listened to celldweller for a few years now, absolutely love it. great stuff
You must have wished on it
Because I saw them riding in on a Blackstar
They'd rather chew than spit
And they're full of piss and vinegar
There's no way to persuade, them to give up their crusade
They've come to grant the wish, you should have never made
Sing Hallelujah because you can't change anything
They'll let you try
To reverse everything
Don't waste your time
Sing Hallelujah because you can't change anything
They move without a sound
And their eyes will paralyze who gaze into
They'll leave you gagged and bound
To the whip of the wish they've granted you
There's no way to persuade, them to give up their crusade
They've come to grant the wish, you should have never made
Sing Hallelujah because you can't change anything
They'll let you try
To reverse everything
Don't waste your time
Sing Hallelujah because you can't change anything
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah ...
Looks like they're over it
I saw them riding off on a Blackstar
With nothing left to chew, they split
Because it makes no difference who you are
They'll let you try
To reverse everything
Don't waste your time
Sing Hallelujah cause you can't change anything
They'll let you try
To reverse everything
Don't waste your time
Sing Hallelujah cause you can't change anything
Sing Hallelujah cause you can't change anything
Sing Hallelujah cause you can't change anything
I never really got into this guys other music, but the chorus of this song is genuinely one of the greatest things I've ever heard.
So if I'm getting the story right from the comments, the 500 dislikes are from some failed religious crusade against this song?
They got cursed by there ignorance,very very very long ago
I’m a religious zealot and I don’t even know what people would be upset over
@@_Cato_ Then you're not a zealot. No intention to offend or anything but "zealot" is usually used to refer to people who are OVERLY zealous for their religion and have an illogical level of obsession over it. If you can see reason, you aren't a zealot.
I think that they're from boomers and music nerds realising that it's not David Bowie
Hey now i'm not a boomer but I also like David Bowie's Blackstar. ;)
Great song and great album. If anyone has followed Klayton since the "Circle of Dust" days, they know that his work is constantly evolving and changing. In my opinion, for the better!
To all those of you arguing about science and religion... don't waste your time. SING HALLELUJAH CAUSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!

The people that change nothing in the end are people who do not provide valid reasons for moving the telesis forward.
People who are mystically non-dual consciousness-[non small]minded and scientifically/philosophically-minded (like the Ken Wilber E.E.G machine video) are actually the ones who change the most.
God I love Celldweller.
celldweller, i love god

@@walkinghorizon god damn it i just read this and i can't fucking breathe.
@@sumiatheangel9397 Yeah, Klayton is like.. Catholic isn't he? I can't remember entirely, but i remember something about him having a religious background. I'm an atheist, and quite frankly, I don't care tbh. Klayton is a great guy the few times I actually spoke to him via facebook replies, and his music is absolutely amazing. plus his analogue set up is beyond amazing.
Perfect mix of metal and electro, I'm freaking in love with this band now!
Oh man....so many memories of college listening to this song it was one of my favourites. Cyber goggles, tie in dreads, new rock boots! Now I'm a 32 year old mum 🤣
35 year old new mom here. I was living in Japan around this time. Listening to Celldweller and Scandroid while walking around in the cities was magical.
I love this song so much...
One of my all time fav . Just now leaving a comment ⭐
The perfect pukeing noise at the beginning gives it a real good kick
PUKEING NOISE? LOL
This is quite literally Homura's themesong for Madoka Magika!
A Madoka Magica AND a Celldweller fan out in the wild? Crazy
@@sorat5000fr
Thank you for this amazing song, Celldweller!!
This has got to be one of the best songs for the modern world. Keep it up Klayton, you're doing great!
This song is great... I listen to it when I workout
I love your music
I don't think I have found a Celldweller song I don't like. Keep on doing what you love Klayton, your fans will always be here, if they leave they weren't fans to begin with.
This song is absolutely amazing. Such a wonderful voice you have, Klayton. The pacing is also very nice. I have a little more hope for the future of music because of your work.
It is humanely impossible to dislike Celldweller. That's a fact.
I love this song, it's pretty much THE SONG we all expected since the first chapter, like cherry on a cake ;)
This song = break dancing on Mars, swimming in the void, ballet on the surface of the moon. So majestic.
like, yes
O.O That's what I thought. O.O
Hey dere :3
This way! :D
Keep going
Almost there....

Happy 10 years Blackstar! ♥
sing halleluja cause you can't change anything!
God I love this song 💖
Klayton we don't deserve you 😭🥹🤧
Its an amazing song regardless of religious or not. If your too busy reading these comments your not spending enough time listening to the music and that is just an epic fail to miss such an awesome song. ^-^
That moment when u found the song two weeks ago and you have now heard it around 20 times....
William Cox pfffft try 20 times in a day 😂💚
2020. Still a classic album
20? HAH
More like 100
Ah I remember back when I had only heard this 20 times.
That's masterpiece❤️
I love this album and this song! 💗
You're best Klayton👍
The universe will move as it will and there is nothing you can do
Everything is fixt, and nothing is under your control
Nothing is free will, nothing is your fault
Nothing matters and nobody has a choice
Everything has already been decided
Don't feel guilty over things you've done, don't hate yourself for pain you caused
Don't waste your time, don't spend it feeling bad
Sing hallelujah cause you can't change anything
Does Klayton still make music? I remember the hype around Blackstar (you know, when he was releasing two songs every half a year before the album itself came out) and how fucking epic it was when this whole record finally hit the shelves. This song made me piss myself with excitement, all these songs together are so catchy and tell such amazing stories that stir one's imagination. It's four years now and I still remember every song, must have listened to this album a million times back then.
But then Celldweller got kind of quiet. Even the website was last updated in like 2014. So what happened?
The "End of an Empire" Album was released somewhen 2015 - and also dropped in chapters as "Wish upon a Blackstar" did. I think social Media is the best way to stay updated about celldweller - you will not miss a thing. :)
Um... he has since then dropped a new vocal album called End of an Empire through various chapters and as a whole has dropped with that album: A Full vocal album, and album of "Factions" (which act essentially like a Soundtrack for the Voices in My Head album) and 2 remix albums. He has also reissued an old ep, and has dropped a bunch of other instrumental projects. My friend you have a lot of catching up to do :)
You would want to keep track of Celldweller's facebook for info on what Klayton's been up to under the name. Also what has come out recently that I forgot, is that he is doing video game soundtracks, a movie soundtrack and is reissuing and remastering all of the albums he made under his Circle of Dust band back in the 90's and is planning on dropping a new Circle of Dust album and a new Scandroid album this year. So not will you have a lot to look into, you will have a lot to look forward to. Enjoy :)
See Scandroid
Offworld Album.
Who's still listening in 2023?
Missed this one when this album released. Now I'm catching up in listening to it ;D
And this.. is.. to go.. even further beyond!
This song is crazy great
This comment section is cancer
Lmao
I can't stop listening to this, it's genius.
the first and maybe the best song i ever hear by celldweller
Haleluja means also "oh, finally!" And if clayton says "thanks god i don't believe in luck"don't means that the song is about religion. DID YOU EVER LISTENED ELECTRIC OR INDUSTRIAL NU METAL ON A CHURCH??? YEAH, THE PRIEST IS A DUBSTEP DJ!
TBH Klayton firstly created under Christian Label...
Przemek Formela Regardless, doesn't mean there's some religious meaning to the song.
ok but is a cool song
Klayton is actually a member of Mt Zion Church in Clarkson Michigan. I met him when i was also attending, He worked at the Sound board, And was usually accompanied by Bret (Blue Stahli) The Song is"nt very much about Religion, But That's only because Klayton, being an artist who understands most of the people who listen won"t always agree with his religious veiws, distanced his music away from His views on religion. Thus shielding his own opinions, and that of his fellow churchgoers.
Klayton* sorrieee
still slaps klay
Klayton this is some awesome stuff. Your music gets better every time I hear it. You're an inspiration
2018 до сих пор слушаю. Обожаю эту песню.
This song has just been added in Step Revolution's StepmaniaX!
Atheists or christians, JUST FUCKING ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Polish? And I LOVE Klayton's music.
Don't hate us. Don't be racist. Don't be haters.
Not every Polish people dislike his music.
I think he is very talented and I love his music.
That's all.
I heard a couple of songs on TH-cam, and loved it so much that I decided to buy this album. Congrats Klayton and everybody else involved with Celldweller, you broke my 18+ month drought of not buying any music. This was just too awesome to resist!
dont let music depict religion i am catholic and i listen to this shit and you dont see me bitching about it. Just listen to the damn song and if you dont like it keep it to yourself. Go Celldweller rock on!!!!
but how does religion relate to this? XD
i don't know I was just thinking the same thing though since most people say this has something to do with religion
+952shadowman cuz he says hallelujha
true but who dosent in half their songs. I mean im not saying its bad but its just I wish people would stop saying that just because he has a religious reference... They are saying its bad for they are assuming he is worshipping a false god. But then again its just music so who gives a shit?
+952shadowman i dont care if he says hallelujha,its stupid to get mad for that reason
It's the job of the artist to stir up some dust sometimes.
It's the job of the public to discuss and exchange opinions.
And my job to watch chaos unravel while singing Hallelujah, I can't change anything.
So what if I'm an Atheist? What does it matter to the song? Just enjoy it.
Its been years, still one of my favorites, along with eon and the lucky one, but then again, all of Klays music is epic
I hope this album won't be the end. Our support will be GIFT FOR YOU. I CAN'T WAIT for another album.
Cobrak says Hi :)
thumbs up if you praise Celldweller and his beautiful creations!!!!!
you just powned all...like a boss.
What an amazing album cover
He is saying might as well sing praise cause there is nothing you can do about it. Thats all. Just for once can people just enjoy something and not pick it apart.
No.
I simply love his new songs.... Old ones were great, but this is AWESOME........ Klayton, carry on with your good work, and Polish "horde players" go troll someone else!
I CAN'T STOP PUTTING THIS SONG ON LOOP!!!!! IT'S SUCH A FUCKING JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
love this!
Makes me think of a world like Warhammer 40K, not like it's actually religious! More like it's describing some formidable space Crusaders who might have their own religious agenda, but are characters in a sci-fi not a real-world people, and aren't Klayton's opinion. Like Sisters of Battle or Space Marines - or the Bene Gesserit. We all know Klayton's a BIG sci-fi fan, and having relentless zealots in a futuristic setting is a common sci-fi trope, and as a lot of his songs play out like sci-fi short stories to music, it makes more sense that he's singing about that than some fatalistic/deterministic take on Christianity.
You say you can´t change anything but how come you suddenly change at 4:01 from wearing a full gear futuristic space suit with space goggles to clothing from this age and no space goggles anymore (the profile pic does pretty much fit spot on over the picture quite nicely)?
Oh well, must be something TH-cam brought to you then technically you´re right.
Hallelujah.
I change the lyrics when I sing to "cause you CAN change anything" because repetition becomes a motto and I need more positivity in my life.
Divine Light a different perspective would be something like, might as well say hallelujah (might as well be positive) because you cant change the past (so leave the past alone and move forward)
Idk how to explain but thats how it feels to me. You might as well party because theres no going back anyway.
His original intent was to release this album in Chapters, and then have the final Chapter be the last two songs (way back, this album was only intended to be 10 songs). He's beefed it up a lot since then, to a point where the full album is 16 songs. So he released half of it via Chapters, and saved the 2nd half for the final album. He chose to release it this way cuz he knew it would take years for him to finish it, and he didn't want us to wait that long before we could hear any of it. :)
Everyone in comments arguing about theism and atheism..... All I can think of is that Klayton must have watched Puella Magi Madoka Magika and this is a song about Kyubey and Homura.
There’s no way to persuade them to give up their crusade
They’ve come to grant the wish... you should have never made
Sing Hallelujah 'cause you can’t change anything
They’ll let you try
To reverse everything
Don't waste your time
Sing Hallelujah 'cause you can’t change anything
I have no idea what this whole comment is about but for some reason it made me smile. Thank you.
^_^ Your welcome? Lol if you want to know what it's about, it's an anime called Puella Magi Madoka Magika. This song is scary accurate to the shows plot.

...Someone made an AMV for it with this song-- apparently someone agrees.
thought it kind of fits more with darksiders videogame
Fucking hell, all you atheists and religious people fighting on the comment section give your respective ideologies a bad name. Go back to the special needs school if you want to argue. For all the other sane people...
Let's dance.
~Mia San Sumia, Pegasus Breeder and Root Beer Connoisseur
Atheism isn't an ideology, and neither is theism.
So it is not possible to give atheists a bad name because we don't share an ideology or the same values.
Also, humans argue, that's what we do.
***** Respective groups then, if an ideology has to be a fixed system of beliefs.
Humans argue, yes, but ideally in the proper places. (Such as the comment sections of Morgan Freeman's new documentary on prayer). Not here.
Just fantastic
PERFECT music
This song doesn't get enough love. Every other song has been remixed half to death... not Blackstar, though.
RandomAccessMisery. Maybe because nobody thinks they can do it enough justice....
It finally has been remixed
Understanding the working of the mind, the beliefs of a person are expressed in their art, because the mind generated, or fabricated that art, based on their beliefs. It is impossible to genuinely create something without using mental associations and beliefs.
I love you, celldweller!!

Praise be almighty Blackstar.
If he's religious , going to church is going to be 2000x more fun.

I freaking love this! Utter tuuuuuune!
This is why I love Celldweller!
So if i'm religious (Christian) am I suppose to not like this song? Hmm... was I suppose to buy the album as soon as it came out it and listen to it frequently over the next 3 years? I'm not sure...
Well that's a lie, I am. Of course though to me Jesus is infinitely more important than Celldweller (even though he is my favourite musician), the album is a great fictional story that, though it picks up on religious themes, shouldn't be taken too seriously.
I have my own interpretation of every song which probably differs from a lot of other people. This album also inspired a story I have now fleshed out that can deliver a positive Christian message.
True the lyrical content isn't for everyone, but it leaves more room for thought than you'd think. For me God created good from this, and inspired me through it.
THANK YOU!
That would make sense with the rest opf the album as it is, I have no idea though lol
ya, makes sense, but i hate the ppl who r complaining that its against their religion with god. i mean, i doubt it is but if it was why do they even listen to this?
A good point! If there are Christian Celldweller fans like myself, but they perceive the song differently, then of course they'll be dissapointed, and they'll probably want to let Klayton know this in the hopes that future lyrics will be different, or something similar.
As for everyone else, I have few guessing, but I don't know.
lol
whats the fucking deal with this and christianity? whats the connection...
i have absolutely no idea
***** Klayton had a Christian metal/rock band named Circle of Dust. Maybe that's the wrong answer but hey.
Why do ppl think this has anything to do with Jesus?
Im Lutheran and i hear nothing of Jesus in this. the only thing close to jesus i hear is alleluia but that can be used in other terms.
These are the people who see God in pieces of toast remember...
LOVE IT
Hallelujah Can't change anything !!!!
anyone just come from soul eater?
yeah i was thinking that also
BUT MUH JEEESUS. IMA DISLIKE THIS. THAT WILL SHOW EM
Atheists are running rampant everywhere.
Fsck Ubuntu No, I actually don't believe in god, that isn't stupidity, Christianity is stupidity.
Acidic Prodigy .........ha ha?
*facepalm*.......please don't refer to atheism as a religion......
Fsck Ubuntu not sure what you mean by that but whatever
Their sound has changed a lot through out the years
I can listen to this for hours
Say hallelujah 'cause you can't change anything... perfect song for feminists
I see what you did there :D Well done Sir well done.
Oh, burn!
Good one
This song rocks !!!! ;)
I'm so gonna download this song!!!
Amazing song.
