Lyrics:
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
#SystemOfADown #Aerials #HD #Remastered - เพลง
Here after watching machine gun kelly's cover. Needed to rinse my ears out. Feel much better now
The whole sort by newest section is so funny we’re ALLLLL here for the same reason 😂
Yep, thanks Machine Gun Kelly.
This is exactly why I’m here lmao
Literally LOL
My first time hearing this song by both System and MGK. I’ve been an MGK fan for years but I gotta say, K butchered the ever loving soul of this song. Please don’t do it again K. Lawdy
This video is actually very profound. For those that don't understand the music video, it's the story of the circus freak that looks up to the aerials performers. He closes his eyes and imagines a world where he is wealthy and powerful, however, his limited knowledge of real life frustrates him even in his imagination, like when he is questioned by the other kid.
This goes in hand to the lines "When you loose small mind you free your life / when you fee your life eternal prize"
What that basically means is that our limited perception, like that kid's, holds us captive. If we are able to confront our perceptions of life we'll get the eternal prize, which is happiness.
Thanks cap
How do you know this? Did you work with the makers of the video.
+GypsyFairy85 it's very explicitly told in the video if you follow it's story.
I think that's fairly accurate, one detail though, the lyrics are "when you free your eyes eternal prize". Which basically emphasizes what you said about perception.
Alfredo Benavides proof to this?
2024 anyone?
Ofcccc
Im
Right here
Me!
2025 and still listening
This HAS to be one of the best songs of all times.

It is
It’s one of the songs
I agree with you , bro
The entire Toxicity album is amazing… but this song is just, absolute perfection. It will never get old and will always be relevant.
bruh.. ur the stalker
I Agree, more relevant every day! 😎 Serj
Perfection is not enough. This is GOD's WORK. Wait, I think that is perfection....
Sow my
@@stonecold5373 That would be fiction.
My daughter was born with asthma and would cry alot. This was the only song I could get to her to calm down or sleep! She still loves this song, 5yrs later!
first I've heard of SOAD actually calming someone. that's pretty damn cool.
It's a perfect song
Plz i listen to SOAD while i fall asleep
Awesome!
Aww that's amazing!🥲
Masterpiece, even all these years later, absolute anthem!
Всегда им будет

Couldn’t have said it better 🙏🏻👍
Like Tool at times
Sounds like a description of my coworker's mom :33

awee I’m sorry for your loss rip Joshua🤍🕊️ !!
Sorry for your loss. I mean it. You will be together sometime.
Sad for a father to deal with but it's an awesome way to remember him
grew up in a really religious home where everything was censored and music was only instrumental. 27 years old and i'm just now discovering system of a down. this is just magic.
Edit: Thanks for the amazing comments and suggestions :)
Rather find something late then never! 🤘✊

I missed a lot of great songs but honestly you can listen to everyone of there albums and you won’t find one bad song there an amazing band ✊🏽👌🏽
What a shitty childhood you had
Try , Metallica , Iron maiden , led zeppelin, Pink Floyd, black Sabbath,nightwish
the ability of my man SERJ's storytelling+ singing at the same time, proves he's in god like situation.
and the way how he draws pictures in our minds only using his voice(words)is just mind-blowing..what a m(us/ag)ician
was never a HUGE system fan but like some of their songs, this song though one of the best pieces of music ever made IMO.
I genuinely feel bad for people who won't give rock/metal music enough of a chance to give SOAD a chance. Band made a huge impact on my childhood.
It takes a skillful ear to hear the beauty in the noise....and not alot has that skill, so be greatful to have it...ur mind open
Huge impact on me to. Have a tat in homage
@@tiyanahweber9684 man I used to absolutely hate metal just a few years ago, but I've been tryna grow a musical ear recently and the more I learn about drumming and music production, the more I've been learning to appreciate rock and metal, its seriously awesome, just dipping my toes for now with some SOAD and breaking Benjamin and a lil bit of Metallica, this kinda music is really growing on me
In my college only 2 guyz likes and listens 2 metal; Me and my best friend...
@@omarallabban8242 Me too... I've been listening since 2019... My best friend introduced it 2 me...
19 YEARS LATER!! this song is still as good as it ever was.
Gawd. Now I feel really old. Was in Jr Highschool when the song came out. Lol, my fave band
It is ever so relevant definitely. I just started to see how it resonates now as an adult. I used to hear these songs as a high schooler.
Play this on rock band all. The. Time.
obvio mrk enotnces que
ah
Stfu nerd.youre not special. Always want to play but never want to loose.
Life is a waterfall. We're one in the river. And one again after the fall.
But not during the fall - powerful lyrics. I did forget how perfect this was - is.
One of the beautiful rock songs ever.
Is metal bro
Had to cleanse my ears after hearing a cover of this so came back to listen to remind myself just how great this song is
PLEASE COME BACK AND DO MORE
because of machine gun Kelly I am here
Same
had to drown out the memory of mgk’s version
Exactly the reason I'm here
MGK killed it
The night my dad passed away... i was driving home and this song came on... it was my most notable moment of coming to peace with him being gone... thank you for this masterpiece
Rest in piece to you father mate
Estos días he sentido mucha rabia por cosas que me.han hecho mis padres. Aunque ya los perdone vienen a mi mente en momentos oscuros. Y está canción en cierta forma me hace olvidar

3:32 is so special. The harmonies between the two vocals are beautiful and give a sense of “final”. The faster tempo kind of adds a feeling of desperation.
Even though I am so sad that I discovered this song recently in my 30s, I am soooo happy because I have the rest of my life to enjoy it! Amazing song and amazing band! ❤
yes you are correct
I’m not even a teen
Never late!
Es una canción que transcendera en el tiempo
@@hectorreyes470 estoy de acuerdo ☺️
This song get's better and better with age, like a fine wine.
Yep
this one and all the other songs from SOAD. it's like a teenage comeback that never gets old and, just like you said, it gets better and better with age.
Hell yeah. Over a decade later and so still get chills ne’er the end.
You got that from Garfield’s 4th treasury

The best of the best indeed
Didn't expect to see you here Joey

Oh damn Joey

Quit asking if we are still listening, we've never stopped listening! So shut up and enjoy! 🎧🎶
Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river
And one again after the fall
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go, but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
Then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void, we hear the word
We lose ourselves, but we find it all
'Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go, but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Oh
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind, you free your life
Aerials, so up high
When you free your eyes, eternal prize
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
The meaning of the song, I think:
It's about how people get sucked into materialistic culture. They get obsessed with fame and popularity and money. They become like this kid, altered beyond human recognition (plastic surgery being the most direct example) in an effort to try to be perfect in the eyes of society. They lure you in from childhood by convincing you that this is what success looks like, but the kid isn't happy because this doesn't make you happy. This - money, fame, being a celebrity - isn't success at all. To be happy, you have to "lose small mind". You have to see past this small picture of earning and buying and getting famous, and find your real purpose in life and do what fulfils you. Only then will you claim eternal prize. True value. Because after all, life is a waterfall. Just a small flash of activity where we all get to be unique. Before and after the waterfall. Before we're born and after we die; we're all the same. We can't take any of our money or fans out of this life. They get lost and forgotten one way or another. That's what makes these things useless. But during the waterfall, all we can honestly do is be happy, find peace, and try not to lose ourselves.
For a band who almost exclusively focuses on worldwide issues, this is a very personal song. That's what makes it special. It's a personal message to each and every one of you to see past the facade and live for yourself.
go look for this song on genius
you have my respect good sir
@@macrando565 and you, mine
thank you for the comment
pizza
I saw them back in maybe 2002 thinking there was no way Serj could pull it off live. I was so wrong. They were incredible. I've recently been learning how to sing for real and it makes me appreciate Serj even more. Such incredible range and power.
this comment from "boxes" is epic !
System of a Down has had alot of political backlash in usa and uk due to belif=efs alot like the dixie chicks and their country vs the gw bush etc etc republican stuff or anti this or anti that
in my personal belief system of a down is a musical group thats convinced the system doesnt work however its projection is to fail meaning corporate global destiny is resulting in failure as a product
AND THATS WHAT MAKES THEM SO AWESOME they cant be fooled they cant be controlled and they know it and love it and its what fuels Americans and humans of all races -just sayin
we grow thru failure (wright brothers) and continue to push through even though this world is terminal
if you need more explanation IQ higher than me seek out Marylin Manson hell educate all just as he has his interviewers
however this comment is from a true fan who isnt caught u in the controversy at all well said
My mom told me the same that it was like listening to the album how good they were live I wanted to see them so bad was too young when they were touring all kinds and idk if I’ll get the chance to see em before they stop for good
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🤘🏻✌🏻👍🏻❤
I still consider this one a best from them. The sinister yet graceful tone in the instruments is always jaw dropping to me, and serj's vocals really bring this whole track together
don’t dare sleep on this gem of a song! Wonderfully written and paced so magnificent
Yeah, Chopsuey was fire, and Toxicity had y’all thinking. But this song was the most important song on the album imo. This was such a fire video and such a great ending to such a masterpiece of an album.
ya right dude, both aforementioned songs are fucking great..but this one is something special
Truth brother! This song brought it all together right?
This song change the game for themselves
idk, prison song seems pretty important
Always wanna play but you never wanna lose.
that opening guitar riff is so haunting that it sends chills down my spine..and John Dolmayan is such an underrated drummer man he hits that snare and high hat with such precision it reminds me of John Bonham.
Dolmayan isn't a real person, he's just a robot they wheel out for live shows and videos
Hombre de cultura
John Bonham is actually one of John's main influences on the drums.
Agreed. That guitar riff is up there with Randys crazy train solo.
vou brotar
Love this.
Cleans my spirit. ❤
Serj's cocky head toss and smile is *chefs kiss*
System Of a Down is one of dem bands that will never be forgotten
amen
Потому что система сша заточена под раскрытие талантов, ради этого страна и создавалась - собирать все самое лучшее и самое талантливое что есть в мире. Поэтому сша всегда будет лидером.
Не могу с Вами не согласиться.

i just can never get over how bloodchillingly soothing, unsettling but beautiful the last 30 seconds are. perfection
I feel the exact same
truly. it makes me shed a tear every time
Check out coma from buckethead
Agreed!
Just great music. I'm not usually into harder, "metal" music tho this is so distinctive, unique anyway. Think I can appreciate nearly all kinds of music. Even Call Me Maybe tho I've said that already. (Anyway I like the TT memes they do about it. I will do you dirty if you come up on me)
Terrific!! the song is a timeless rock masterpiece, and the lyrics are a clear message about the lack of identity which has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
W tym zespole ,ogromną masa tofu.Właśnie one scalają utwór.I zdaża się to nagminnie.No i dobrze.Ten zespół bez dobrej akustyki gitarowej.Ma predyspozycje,Łamnie Kanon metalu.I nie ryczy nagminnie.Dobry wybór.
I still consider this one a best from them. The sinister yet graceful tone in the instruments is always jaw dropping to me, and Serj's vocals really bring this whole track together
I agree with you
One of the most chilling guitar riffs in the history of music…. Man Malakian on another level of genuis

This songs just moves my soul like no other. An ancient feeling, survival instinct kicks in, yet comforting
I have been listening to this song for over a decade now, I even learned how to play guitar because of system, still coming back to this song gives me chills after the second hook
Thats the cringiest shit ive ever heard in my life
Amen to.that.
This song perfectly describes my spiritual awakening. A death and rebirth after feeling like an alien on earth.
@@jonathanbergendahl7517 wow. Same here. Like I'm remembering things I forgot already learned . I healed my dogs missing fur with my spit...lmao who woulda thought or guessed that after a year of unable to find a cure for my best friend.
Best shroom trip I ever had was chilling in a lake cove with close friends all wearing life vest floating around thinking we were jetboats racing around while this song played in the background. The entire drive home felt like a monorail...so smooth and controlled...at least that's what I felt lol. Made it home safe so yeah
Há mais de 18 anos sem gravar, eles ainda faz sucesso com as músicas antigas, pra nós que curti nunca são velhas ❤
Deixa desse papo né, óbvio q a música envelhece, mas música boa quanto mais velha melhor, n deixa de ser boa
Em 2020 eles voltaram e lançaram 2 músicas: "Protect the Land" e "Genocidal Humanoidz"
Legends die but are never forgotten.
nunca são velhas mas sempre serão boas, creio que isso que faça ela sobreviver ao passar do tempo

The amount of views System of a Down has on their most popular songs is a testament that their music has transcended just being popular for the time.. they are one of only like 100 bands who can escape into timelessness… and I’d say they are in the top 5 Hard Rock/Metal Bands of all time

EveryN have you hear him live lately? Thats disapointing.. Breaks my heart
I just needed some SOAD in my life. Hit shuffle, this is what it came up with. Cranked it up...
Damn, 14 years later and is still a banger.
I remember when I was a teenager, I was just learning how to speak english, and at that time my uncle really liked these songs, he showed them to me and I started writing the lyrics just to practice. Now that Ive finished my courses and im able to teach to other people and give english classes, I will always remember how greatly these songs helped me.
Geníal amigo
I forgot how fucking great this song is
ME TOO

Bro tell me about it
This realm is a Reincarnation soul trap.
ие, ребята вообще крутые
you spelled "masterpiece" so wrong
This song fucked my shit up man, here is my interpretation of the song for those who care (below):
Life is a waterfall -Life is a never ending journey
We're one in the river, -One before we find ourselves
And one again after the fall.-one after we find ourselves
Swimming through the void -going through life
We hear the word,-We hear our calling
We lose ourselves;-We forget our close minded way of thinking
But we find it all? -We find ourselves (peace within)
Cause we are the ones that wanna play, -As humans we want to do as we please
Always wanna go, -Always want to do
But you never wanna stay, -Never want to face the reality (consequences)
And we are the ones that wanna choose, -Choose what to believe and what rules to go by
Always wanna play, -always want to do
But you never wanna lose. -never want to face the reality (consequences)
Aerials, in the sky, -Lost people, looking for a cause. Bending what they think is right and wrong in life
When you lose small mind, -when you open your mind
You free your life. -you find yourself
Life is a waterfall,-Life is a never ending journey
We drink from the river, -We obey what we are told
Then we turn around and put up our walls.-Then we defend what we are made to believe
Swimming through the void-going through life
We hear the word, -we hear our calling (find our purpose)
We lose ourselves, -forgetting our close minded way of thinking
But we find it all? - We find ourselves (peace within)
Cause we are the ones that wanna play,-As humans we want to do as we please
Always wanna go,-Always want to do
But you never wanna stay; -Never want to face the reality (consequences)
And we are the ones that wanna choose,-Choose what to believe and then pick and choose what rules we want to go by in that belief
Always wanna play, -Always want to do
But you never wanna lose. -Never want to face reality
Aerials, in the sky, -lost ones (the close minded)
When you lose small mind, -When you open your mind
You free your life. -you find peace (find yourself)
Aerials, so up high, -lost ones (close minded)
When you free your eyes, -when you see life for what it is
Eternal prize. -you are granted the best gift one can have (happiness)
Aerials, in the sky,-lost ones (the close minded)
When you lose small mind,-when you open your mind
You free your life.-you find yourself
Aerials, so up high, -lost ones (the close minded)
When you free your eyes,-when you see life for what it is
Eternal prize. -you are granted the best gift one can have (happiness)
Tell me what you think about it (and maybe make your own ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
+Mass Furry Genocide Great view on this song. ;)
+Mass Furry Genocide Damn, you just made this song seem really fucking deep to me.
+Mass Furry Genocide Pretty much how I always interpreted the song, with one difference
Always wanna play - always engage in debates/arguments biased by what we've been told/what we believe
But you never wanna lose - never want to admit those biases might be/could be/are wrong
+Mass Furry Genocide this is like a literature for me, what a great song :o
+Mass Furry Genocide Correct!
iconic into riff. i love it!
This song is a timless masterpiece
That's got to be, at least, in the top 100 greatest rock/metal songs of all time.
JD Bock eh maybe
theres alot, its hard to say
JD Bock imo it's definitely their best single, only rivaled by sugar and question, it could possibly be on the list
I would include Toxicity in their best singles; that's a masterpiece
"what profit a man, if he gains the world but loses his soul"
That's exactly what I got from this song
+Kostas diablo 2 man diablo 2

+Kostas
Life is a waterfall, we are in the river and one again after the fall ( we all are all the same, evey1 has a beggining and en end, and lives their jorney with a different story but its all very alike: born, life , die )
swimming through the void we hear the word , we lose ourselves but we find it all.... ( we lose our souls to acquire fleshly pleasures )
cause we are the ones that want to play , always want to go but you never want to stay
and we are the ones that want to choose ,always want to play but you never want to lose ( we want to manipulate our own lives and future but dont wanna live with the consequences )
aerials, in the sky when you lose small mind you free your life ( when you stop paying attention to frivolous things, such as material things, you start seeing life for what it is )
Kinda difficult to put it all into words...
+Romeo Teixeira We are the ones that want to choose, always want to play but never want to loose.
When you loose small mind you free your life.
From another, "Mutability is a tragedy but it's also our hope: the worst of times like the best, are always passing away."
Loose small mind and see in fourspace. Fourspace is the past, present, future at once, as well as the multitudinous possibilities that did not happen in your experience but which might have happened had the butterfly flapped it's wings.... etc.
In fourspace we see that suffering is not the enemy of pleasure but rather the other side of the same sensation. Both serve to move us. They are not the destination. Man has fallen by forgetting the dual nature of all things.
While it may be desirable to move away from pain and while it may be desirable to move towards pleasure, one must understand that these forces are temporal in nature and only serve to move us in our lives. If we are to stay in pleasure, we must fight the nature of time. A loosing battle for sure.
Beautiful masterpiece
Just one of the best vocalists there’s been
omg im just excited with the idea of SOAD probably launching a new album this year and i just put soo nostalgic....

I'm glad for this comment here. Otherwise my ears lied to me when I heard they are probably back
OMG ARE THEY? WEEK MADE OMG SO HYPED
For those of you that dont get the video: The kid is a Circus freak and he envies the Aerial Performers, he then imagines a world where everyone looks up to him, but he isn't happy with this world given his lack of understanding of the real world (when he confronts the child reporter). "When you free your eyes, eternal prize" - We have to stop looking up to the "aerials of our world", The eternal prize is happiness.
Wow. Never thought of that! That actually explains most of the lyrics! "Life is a waterfall/ We're one in the river and one again after the fall" refers to the gene pool (or just the general reproductive populous) I believe.
Some of us fall fast, some slowly. But all fall.
niceeee
Evan Johnston "swimming through the void we hear the world" Oh plato, oh plato.
AKgamer IsAwesome I will point you to roughly _every fucking other music video in the history of EXISTENCE_ for that one.
Crossing genres!
Imagine Dragons - Radioactive: Muppet bear thing?
Katy Perry - Dark Horse: Egyptian Mouse dancers girls?
Hell, even SOAD's own BYOB has robots invading a club.
"Circus in the middle of nowhere" is run-of-the-mill in comparison to... Whatever the fuck pop artists dream up.
Alfredo Benavides A lot of stuff points to what you're saying, "Drink from the river,then turn around and put up your walls" to me means that people want to take without any consequence,or it could mean to benefit from other's help and then shut those people out. "Always want to play but you never want to lose" suggests that these people looking up to the 'aerials' want what they have,but aren't ready to take on the risk of failing or facing their struggles. Also "we lose ourselves but we find it all" is saying that although they got what the aerials have,they're no longer who they once were.
nostalgic!, the years go by and every time I hear this song again it feels like those days at school... lml
Slipknot and Korn has made a comeback in 2019. I now need SOAD to do the same, so I can die peacefully

irsan moon where you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
irsan moon dude people heard the message. Nothing will change though, our race is already to far gone, we are so weak, so content being conformed.
The only escape from this controlled world is listening to this and imagining what could've been if we stood up and did something.
and you know the world is going to slowly degrade into terrible pop or rap
I was 10 yo when I started listening to this, and it still resonnate so much in me. Thank you for your music 🙏
Simply beautiful.
Y'all be like "2017 anyone?" bitch I'm here everyday
sentimentaliteetti same
Right
mina boyer facts
Oh hell ya
Ahri is Love guys someone know the lyrics?
Relevant timeless
Still one of my absolute favorites
I sung this song for karaoke at my school. Half of the kids in there probably had no idea who the band was but I’m just proud I had the confidence to get on stage and sing an amazing song from such an amazing band.
I know what you mean. I grew up in the 90s. When our High school held a talent show, two-thirds of the boys and girls would either sing crappy songs from boybands or the Spice Girls while the others would sing crappy R&B love songs. Me and my friends were inspired by Nirvana's Unplugged concert, so we formed a band and played 3 of their songs, also unplugged. The whole school don't even know who was Nirvana.
Bravery often pays off in life. That is awesome.
Listen, if you ever lack confidence just know that no matter what you will sing it better than MGK did
2023 and this song will never die! 👽🔥
im not sure why but this song has been in my head for the few days. a memorable piece of music.
i am glad i found it here with others that have felt the same,
Eebioooorrr somar AAAAAAHHHHHHHSSSS🎶🎶🎶
Это классика она никогда не умрет. Эту песню мы будем давать слушать своим внукам
spectacular....
Yes Brother it's true ❤
I'm just thankful that SOAD was a big part of my youth!🤟
System você fez minha geração anos 90' 20' espero que vocês continuem
Death of Chester Bennington brought me here, going through my childhood memories..
Linkin Park, Korn, Limp Bizkit, System of a Down..
Those were the days !
This song was so underrated back in the days, so glad to see those 160M Views !!
TheSmoothConsultant it's sad that those fucking shitty pop and rap songs gain that their first day...
T-Wrecks they are new songs though and are released on the internet to a younger demographic
TheSmoothConsultant replace limp bizkit with slipknot and you've got something good there
Meh, I loved my limp bizkit ;) But definitely was a BIG Slipknot head as well
Slipknot sucks (my opinion). LB is way better
Still a MASTERPIECE ... timeless
If only peeps would really heat the true lyrics. Have you ever seen or heard of Peter Joseph? Good content.
💯💯💯
this is so good but you must hear "Glory" by SLT !!!
Never dies ❤️

Me too me too
Same man, same.
This group and songs says it all about current affairs in the world.
ITS SO GOOD ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lost in your voice, Mr Tankan, still, until this very day. Thanks.
I love how they incorporated the Armenian melodic elements into the song. True artists. 👍
Amazing how many people still view these gems now.
Never die
Great songs never get not great
True
I agree with that statement on a level so great, no English words can describe it.
Right now
Thanks Tankyan Serg for amazing sounds and lirics!!! On a hole life)))
MASTERPIECE
There comes a time when you start listening to SOAD again and you realize that they haven't released a single weak song and you experience each individual song even more deeply and you start to wonder if this is a legendary band that generations are growing up on. Just pure amazing how good this band is. Impressive.
Fuck to the yeah!
True that!!!
It’s so true, their music is incredibly unique and otherworldly! It’s on another level…
I mean Cigaro is a bit odd lmao but yeah SOAD is great
@@Tykeronia it really is… heard that recently, and was like… hmm, they didn’t take this one too seriously lol
I am a 52 year old man.... System of a Down helped me out the matrix and appreciate all forms of music. Much love!
Well said! Same here.
@@atlaffordableguitarlessons8457 I'm 59 and I've been playing for years, BADASS Song I love everything about SOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@lovethebluesandclassicrock2313 That's awesome! I'm 40 and been playing guitar for 28 years. I love SOAD!
I'm 57 and they are my favorite
This realm is a Reincarnation soul trap... a matrix for spirits.
After 14 years and this song still kicks @$$! 🤘🤘
I remember first seeing the video to this on MTV2 back in 2001. Was in awe then, and still am.
Serj Has a voice of an angel
Dark Angel \m/
Ever heard of a man by the name of johnny craig?
*demons
And that's a compliment
Sounds like something a serj would say
But he doesn't deserve to die
I love at 1:57 or so that classic bass player look away
