as a Gustaf fan, I came for the video but stayed for an amazing song too! What a piece of art it is-stunning melody and an overall feeling like I've watched all of Adventure Time and completed Dark Souls in 4 minutes
A fan of both since long. can recommend A.G to anyone who hasn't heard him before. and recommend Gustaf to anyone who hasn't seen his visuals before haha. Both are amazing in their own right.
About Anthony’s reply here; does anyone else notice something weird how different the comment sections in this channel compared to PCMusic? How are normies finding AG’s music just now? “They will try to cancel you” is such a weird thing to say like wtf
that's great! it unfortunately makes me kinda depressed that I would never be able to make something impressive (both sonically and visually to be honest)
i have watched this about 20 times in the last two days. the amount of world building, aesthetic and emotion in the video and music are amazing. I feel immersed and transported. thank you
I found AG on spotify the same year my friend passed away, and started listening even heavier when I started dating the love of my life, his music has made me cry many times, but this song hits me harder than any of them! :D Makes me so happy to be alive. (this song reminds me of my childhood when fantasy based video games were a big part of my existence) they still are today, but the connection the artist makes here between that world and real life is too amazing to put into words.

@@bq_xp I searched for old runic alphabets and found a few images that compare them to english letters - it wasn't all in one place but there was enough to piece the words together. The music video director likes to embed untranslated text in some of his other projects too
@@ThatGuyR0X It's all Anglo-Saxon Futhark runes. To add to the other translations, the present-day guy is "Peter Cook" and the future manticore is named "Suton Woo".

Amanda Blodsoga lived from 1000-1055, Peter Cook from 1982-2056/2067, Suton Woo from 2930-3011. Also, "AG Cook" appears next to Peter Cook on the family tree and he lived from 1990-2099.
If you're christian, then I suppose it might seem interesting, but from the perspective of human evoltution, our current calender is completely irrelevant. Also, why should the number be significant just because it's round?
I'm not sure year 2000 is the year to choose. the PS1 (which this video references a bit) came out in 1995 in NA, by year 2000 PS2 already came out. so that means year 2000 is too late. but at the same time year 2000 IS the year when 51% of households (so, the first year more than half of households had them) in the US had at least one computer. keep in mind this is the US. I'd argue for the rest of the world computers became essential in 2000s.
this is one of the most beautiful things I've seen. the music video is everything, and I love that piano outro doing that weird change of scale, very bach! ❣️
this song / mv makes me feel like I'm a knight in a medieval RPG, but then at the end I regain the collective consciousness of all my past lives (i.e. playthroughs of the game as different characters)
Fucking incredible music video. Mindbending, immersive, and imaginative visuals, and the mix of 2D and 3D makes it so unique. The storytelling is quite impressive, too. You can really feel the epic scale as it switches between the different eras.
This video had me bawling within seconds. The visuals and music are so infinitely astounding and emotional. I'm just so grateful to be alive in a world with art like this 💜
This feels like someone took lil Timmy's first 3D animation, then sacrificed their firstborn (still Timmy (sorry Timmy)) to create a work of absolute sublimity from it. There are visuals here that completely blow my mind, using models from a defunct 3D program found on a cartridge stuck in a melted down Commodore 64.
AG Cooked
I hate this meme normally, but this gets a pass
let ag cook
I think they are saying that AG Cook, is cooked. As in tripping major balls, that's what cooked means in Aus and NZ at least 😂

It's perfect as a music video.
Watch Scavengers Reign it has similar vibes (not really but just watch it anyway)
Feels so good to be an A. G. Cook fan right now!
It's difficult to fathom how all of this was created + so pure and original from the minds of true visionaries

When the heads split (example 0:35) … sooooo sick
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS. WHY AM I WATCHING THIS 5 TIMES IN A ROW INSTEAD OF SLEEPING.
this is one of the coolest and most original things ive seen in some time
It’s free flowing silent tears every time I watch this in a way that hasn’t happened since It’s Okay to Cry
this went triple platinum in my bedroom
i've been looking frame by frame and the amount of detail is insane
btw pikachu at 2:22
something abt stories that are about time and the progress of humanity are so captivating ,, best project of the year so far
One of the most beautiful music videos I’ve seen. Teared up
Excellent song Mr Abdullah Geronimo Cook
Bruh 😂

when you think about it, it is cosmically interesting that computers really became part of mainstream culture at almost exactly 2000 ad
Very apt

Looks beautiful. Got my notifications on 🔔
I've used youtube almost every day for 13 years and this is for sure one of the best videos I've ever seen. I have no words.
the animation really reminds me of a CDi game. and 2:29 makes me think about Angel's Egg. so cool
definitely some end of evangelion in here too...
My life changed the moment I pressed play on this video
proof that the human mind is made immortal through art ❤🔥
Beautiful animation and music! Love time-related stuff
Wow need a making of video. The world building is bonkers
The goosebumps came in like 11 different waves - my god.
It makes more sense every time you watch it! Amazing
This is fire
Kind of can't get enough of this rn
This is the edge of sensible meaning in music
.
this shit is incredible and the best music video i’ve seen in a decade
Gustaf this is your time bro. This is top tier creativity coming through.
Beautiful!💙
in love with the art and concept here. can't wait to see more
This video had me bawling within seconds. The visuals and music are so infinitely astounding and emotional. I'm just so grateful to be alive in a world with art like this 💜
Amazing work, I've never seen such a unique combination of aesthetics.
Someone else commented "this song picked me up and threw me across the room". Perfect description for how it felt to first listen to this song.
the color palette and animation matches the song very nicely (which is also great) 💚💙
glad i just discovered that song cuz if i knew it existed 3 years ago i would’ve been mad it wasn’t released on a previous album
omg an animated mv no way ty for keeping real art alive .!!
I'm already a huge fan of Britpop
My favorite anime is A. G. Cook
:)
This is so beautiful . Thank you so much for sharing your music with the world.
This was so cool!!!!! I'm a huge Gustaf Holtenäs fan, such a sense of world building, it feels big.
an audiovisual TREAT!!!! WORK OF ART
everything about this blows my mind dude holy moooooly
Beautiful art
Normally my ADHD makes me skip through songs to see if I like them, but I went back to the beginning on this one.
Your music is like living a lucid dream, an amazing one
What is this pure gold I hath stumbled upon
addicted to everything here
literal human embodiment of creativity
this is incredible. This animation had to have taken such a long time to create, but it was so worth it
so amazing; kudos to the artists and the animators
Beautiful
This is so beautiful. A musical museum.
All those visual ideas and themes in just 4 minutes...I'm speechless
Thank you for making this. I will carry it in my mind for the rest of my life
