Hope you enjoy this one everyone. This is probably the most personal song on the album for me, dealing with the daily struggle of separating my value as a person from the things that I make. Getting to make this with Michael was an absolute privilege and I learned so much in the process. Easily one of the best highlights of my 20's before entering my 30s... I'm so proud of the guys in this band, what we're making, and where we want to go from here. Thanks for watching, listening, and commenting and I hope we can bring this to a stage near you soon. ❤- Sam
Soft and mellow and yet so heavy on feelings. the effort you put into this was unmeasurable. my only disclamier is that this song has no solo and despite on that, the rest was carefully written. this is hands down my favorite song in the album. keep it up guys. we already got enough mediocrity in this world. it's time to crush it all and wash it away with real art.
You guys are by far my favorite band. I feel like if I made music this is what it would sound like because it's so my style. I can't speak for everyone but in my opinion it's just a matter of time before you guys blow up and have 700k subs instead of 7k.
What can I even say at this point? Not only is this song so good, but to also make a song like Legend on the same album…. This band’s range is elite!!!
This song means so much to me and i wish i had it sooner. Just over a year ago i was hospitalized for a month and narrowly clinging to life. It was one of the worst experiences of my life and never truly had the words or expression to put to my pain. This song more than encapsulates that pain and helps me heal emotionally every day. The power of music can never be understated and you guys clearly know how to write a perfect song. Thank you! ❤
"Seeking approval and constantly catering to the wants and needs of others can lead to losing one's sense of self. This pursuit is draining, both mentally and physically. Try to be courageous and prioritize personal goals above all else. You are in control" this is basically me. I love this song!
You guys are a gift from God. You inspire me to make everything as holy and beautiful as the feelings your music produces in me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Asked myself the same question. I think they need some international tours and a great support opportunity for a big modern prog band in the US. They are by far one of the most talented bands in the genre and deserve to by named next to the big names IMO I'm 100 percent sure they'll become big
for 2 main reasons, its a fairly recent project and they dont have enough material out yet for the mainstream, and also the songs are quite lenghty the second reason is, the "scene" itself is not ready yet aviations for me is reminiscent of bands like dance gavin dance, a lot like birds, lower definition etc, its an early to mid 2000s kinda of sound, once every few years a new wave of prog bands take over the scene, last decade were periphery and AAL, then chon and polyphia, and now bands like aviations, plini, stephen taranto are slowly getting more attention i believe in the theory of a 20 years gap, bands that were underground 20 years ago becomes popular in the present, that also applies to genres, the same way mathrock became popular recently, i believe the next genre will be exactly the bands like dance gavin dance, a more technical post-hardcoreish pop style
This is so different from the other songs released so far but so good. The versatility you guys have is unbelievable, what a band. Brilliant cinematography too by the way
Dear God in Heaven, from 06:00 onward was a cosmic-religious-planetary ride for me. That last shot in the woods and the sun rays is just amazing🔥🔥🔥 PS: This song is a MASTERPIECE!
Brilliance and intimacy in arrangement and composition that is simply unrivaled in progressive rock. Every member is absolutely at the top of their game, as expected to be honest. Thanks again for keeping the faith and a shout out to Sam for the sensitive treatment of the piece; you moved me man. Richard, your piano on this piece sounds like "tears in rain". Did I mention this was bloody brilliant?
Listened to Safehouse while high and to this piece of art while drunk. It doesn't have any difference in terms of quality, your music is truly beautiful and speaks to the emotions of your listeners. I'm hyped as I was for Sleep Token and Spiritbox releases. This is insanely good stuff!
Corelia was awesome, nostalgia was so good. And I still go through their (unreleased) album once every few weeks, it has some very powerful moments, the vocalist is fckin amazing. Also Bastion has been my alarm clock pretty much since 'release' lol.
How many masterpieces can one band make? For Aviations, infinity seems to be the limit! This is what music looks like when it's made with emotion: love, heartbreak, anger, pain, loss, joy...these guys know how to tap into the deepest parts of my soul! Thank you for making music that is relatable...again! You guys never cease to amaze! Can't wait for this album
This band is my absolute favorite band in recent times. They can be fun, light hearted, get so heavy that makes meshuggah take note, go prog to get my calculator out, and then this track makes me tear up as a grown man. I wish nothing but the best for this band. Come to Florida on tour. We need you now more than ever.
Fabulous finesse, breakneck rhythms, unpredictable melodies, almost cosmic harmonies and only one flaw... the songs end too quickly. Your music is a beautiful journey, a joyful world of the traveler. I wish you a never ending journey. Greetings from Poland.
I have fallen of love with this band. I’ve listened to Prog for 30 years and this album gives me the same feeling as the first time I heard Dream Theater’s “Images and Words” or Protest the Hero’s “Fortress”. And that’s some damn good company to be in guys. Great work, the creativity and talent on display are first class. Thank you for what you do
Fucking legends. I’m absolutely loving how versatile you guys are and how you portray so many different emotions in your songs. I loved the lyrics and vocals so much! As a 26 year old that just completely dismantled my life to follow my lifelong dream (and fighting with the uncertainty behind it) this song hits like a train. Can’t wait for your new album! Thank you for your awesome music 😎
I’m so happy I searched Michael Lessard randomly to see if there was any new stuff. This is the best album I’ve heard in years. I feel like I’m your biggest fan already. I’d kill for a show in NY.
Absolutely fantastic stuff guys. I'd argue this is your best material to date, and I'm beyond excited to hear this album. The work you all put in to this album shows as clear as day!
Contortionist and Aviations in the same room?! what is this, a crossover episode? Please say it's a crossover episode, but it becomes a full spin off show. i'd watch that Love the song, love the vibes, lets go new album!
Another amazing track, Adam! I was not expecting anything less than perfection. Excited for the album, and thank you for making such eloquent music. Extremely grateful for the privilege to hear these masterpieces.
Didn’t expect another single before the new album would released in September! Huge thanks to you guys for this amazing song, again, you never disappoint me! Love you❤

Yall deserve the best and I hope yall get it. Everything dropped from the upcoming album is amazing so far.
Soft and mellow and yet so heavy on feelings. the effort you put into this was unmeasurable. my only disclamier is that this song has no solo and despite on that, the rest was carefully written. this is hands down my favorite song in the album.

strong Contortionist vibe with this one. Michael directing makes sense. i loved this. bring on the album!
Looks like the Return to Earth video.
does copying an existing band make sense to you?????
@@michael_bane_official Inspiration =/= Copying
These lyrics ... any one who ever fought with addiction of any kind can relate to this.
This deserves 1 million views. Playing this on repeat. Beatiful song
Thanks ❤we need all the help we can get!
this deserves 1 billion views and im not even joking
I seriously cannot express how excited I am for this album. If this doesn't get album of the century I'm throwing hands
Hahaha we shall see
What can I even say at this point? Not only is this song so good, but to also make a song like Legend on the same album…. This band’s range is elite!!!
Most underrated band in YEARS. My favorite of the singles for sure. Please show up the album art!

i am so glad to be alive while yall are putting out music

I don’t get how this bad is so under the radar. More musical talent then 95 percent of Mainstream music.
I appreciate it tho. That way the word of mouth hype is that much more hyped! People sharing good music with people!

I heard strong Contortionist vibes on Coma so now it's all coming together... TC/Aviations tour please and thank you.
Absolutely beautiful
This reminds me of The Contortionist’s “Language” release, and I love that.
Man the break at 4:25 is ethereal. It makes this a truly standout song on a great album.
I don't think there is an album I'm looking forward to more then this upcoming release... Too hyped!!! Can you guys just release the album yet?? Haha
And as I have mentioned before. The piano makes all the difference. Love it!!
This is so different from the other songs released so far but so good. The versatility you guys have is unbelievable, what a band. Brilliant cinematography too by the way
Love this guys!
Love uuuu
You guys need to tour together
Dear God in Heaven, from 06:00 onward was a cosmic-religious-planetary ride for me. That last shot in the woods and the sun rays is just amazing🔥🔥🔥
PS: This song is a MASTERPIECE!
The album will be incredible, no doubt !
These just keep getting better. Can't wait for that new album. I'll def be jamming it on my way down to Blue Ridge fest.

Wow, you guys are really killing it. God bless!
Hell yeah
I found you by a Stratele Studios reaction to "Blink". Just gorgeous, guys.
Definitely warrants more than 8k views, but then again, this is top tier music.
The singers voice actually reminds me so much of Michael Lessard's voice as well haha amazing stuff!
Aviation releases never disappoint !
I haven't enjoyed a prog band with vocals band this much since Corelia .
Looking forward to the album .
Corelia was awesome, nostalgia was so good. And I still go through their (unreleased) album once every few weeks, it has some very powerful moments, the vocalist is fckin amazing. Also Bastion has been my alarm clock pretty much since 'release' lol.
New listener here :D Really well done, y'all. ❤
Wow this might be your best song yet
Wish there was a longer piano intro though!
How many masterpieces can one band make? For Aviations, infinity seems to be the limit!

the countortionist vibes, i like it.
very nice job guys
Pure emotion and perfection!!!! ❤❤
Just discovered this and I’m SO glad I did. The vocals are so beautiful, I’ve never heard anything so intricate and well-crafted. 🤍✨
This band is my absolute favorite band in recent times. They can be fun, light hearted, get so heavy that makes meshuggah take note, go prog to get my calculator out, and then this track makes me tear up as a grown man. I wish nothing but the best for this band. Come to Florida on tour. We need you now more than ever.
I really like the instrumental from 0:00 to 0:35
beautiful!! simple as that...
Directed by Michael Lessard you say 💦
Words cannot describe 🔥🔥🔥
Oh this is a beautiful song ❤
Contortionist x Aviations tour please!! *In the UK!*
This full circle is spining... In Shpongleland
Okay so... Y'all HAVE to open for TC on a tour now!!!!
Aviations/Arch Echo/Shrezzers US tour plz
another great single. This song and Coma have me super excited for the new album. Great work guys.
🩵💙 I love this videos where the nature is present 🌿💚 Hugs from Perú 🇵🇪
Fabulous finesse, breakneck rhythms, unpredictable melodies, almost cosmic harmonies and only one flaw... the songs end too quickly. Your music is a beautiful journey, a joyful world of the traveler. I wish you a never ending journey. Greetings from Poland.
Deserves way more views, seriously
This song is fantastic. But that ambient outro...
This album is gonna be quite the experience listening front to back. 🤘
That’s the goal ❤

Thanks Nick ❤
They hit us with a BALLAD this time! Blew it out of the water again, friends!
Yo I never would've imagined a collab with Lessard. That's awesome. So sick to see as a long time fan of y'all.
Love it
Amazing! Love you guys as humans and your music as artists. I hope Aviations gets the recognition it deserves one day ❤
Contortionist and Aviations in the same room?! what is this, a crossover episode?
Please say it's a crossover episode, but it becomes a full spin off show. i'd watch that
Love the song, love the vibes, lets go new album!
Unbelievable song and band! Great work again guys!
Nearly Tesseract.
God damn 🔥🔥
This one hits a little too close to home these days. Can't get through it without shedding more than a few tears.
This album covers so much ground that it's going to have to end up as one of my favorites of all time. There's just no other option.
The album it's not even on pre-order and it's already album of the year for me
The Contortionist's little brother.
This is amazing.
Great job everyone involved!
After Tesseract and Soen now this is out. Whatta week!
Intuition part I vibes inneed! Such an amazing track guys
Beautiful!!!
