I love how that final “Don’t look before you take a fall” ties into the protagonist jumping blindly to defeat the evil. It’s either a beautiful coincidence or wonderful choreography, either way it made for a hell of a shot.
It still can be. Art is extremely subjective. You can interpret the song however you like and you'll still be right. This is just to show what Nate was thinking when he wrote the song and when he plays the song. I thought the song was about escaping from your problems at first but then you realize you have to face them in order to surpass them.
DanGarlockMusic It really did! Also, the figures reminded me of Nate and Christina, which made me wonder if it's a story about them falling in love. :)
So I'd like to point out for thats that...may not have noticed, but Nate is still doing it... He's still referencing earlier things he's done in his newest songs. "You're not a shadow, you won't fade." A direct callback to Hold onto You, which had "We're just shadows, meant to fade." And then: "And that's all logic, takes no luck to see the end." Come on? Nate's voice acting work for the dub of Luck and Logic? Jumped out at me before the above one ever did. I suspect there's one more that I'm missing somewhere.
Sandcastle kingdoms (the song not the album) the last line was from is fnaf song No more “maybe one day you’ll find humanity until then don’t you dare say that we are the same”
Gamer Element55 Yeah, I just recently heard the song. I think it's "To The Ends Of The Earth" where he says "Breaking down my walls, my lights and doors". Which is another reference to "No More".
This is a cool animation style. I also like how you did an animated music video rather than a live action one. Really conveys the message of the song better.
You think so? Maybe you interpreted the song differently than me then. After hearing “permanent escape” and with the tone of the song, I always felt like it was about being on the edge of suicide, but trying to snap yourself out of it to love life to the fullest
I wanna cry every time I listen to this. It's such a powerful song. I'm not sure how Nate actually meant for it to come across, but for me, especially with the video, It's about helping someone overcome depression. The smoke dragon symbolizes the dark thoughts that come with being depressed. Not to mention "She found a way out of this place, it's a permanent escape." I feel like it's all about a girl with depression wanting to end it all, and a boy coming along to help her cure it. Hence him killing the dragon (suppressing the dark thoughts) and then they show up somewhere with light. I'm currently struggling with depression, so this hits really close to home with me. I have some battle scars, but my boyfriend's helping me kill the dragon.
@@sjoerdjaspers better. Not great, but better. He and I are no longer together but that's okay. I'm working on it :) thank you for asking. It means a lot
Holy crap! The artist in charge of the art and animation for this video deserves so much praise and recognition. It blends so well with the song. Great job, guys!
I really liked this video! The animation style, the story within the video, the music and lyrics, everything about this video was just beautiful. The dragon’s shadows instead of flame being representative of the song and the darkness is just... beautiful. And that leap where the music stops was very well done.
I wasn't actually watching the video (I was animating, myself actually) but I don't regret anything! I'm not embarrassed to listen to Steampianist, Give Heart Records and Diabolik Lovers soundtrack almost daily! This is GOOD music! Something most people are blind to nowadays!
Bro he worked his butt off just to give us a good music to listen to yeah not the best but at least he tries to and im In band starset so I can understand the community and mistakes that he might have with the community and its not like he's the only one because I did to and learn the community and did it for myself because its special to me and this music is special to him so go on and try to make someone else feel terrible
@@TheXXDude Dude. They said a *compliment.* Not an insult. When someone calls something underrated, they mean that the thing/person they're refering to should get *more* attention. Saying that Nate is *overrated* would have been an insult, but saying that Nate is *underrated* is a compliment.
i think it's about a girl who has anxiety and she's afraid to leave her house for some reason. the boy feels lonely, because girl isn't around anymore. one day he finally decides to step out of the shadows to help her and he rescures her from herself (maybe she tried to kill herself or shut everyone out). in the end they find out that this was just a beggining of their life. what do you think they tried to tell us with this story?
Hey guys! The new original album "Paid in Exposure" is out June 1st. Pre-order/Pre-save it and hear the whole thing DAY 1! LINK ▶️ ffm.to/paidinexposure
I had this song resonate with me for a while (I'm in a better place now thankfully) because it reminded me of my anxiety and the tough times I went through. Taking new medications, feeling hopeless... saving suicide for a rainy day. Praying for better days... and as Nate said, I never did fade. Even with the music video, and... I'm glad I found someone like the boy in the video. Having someone to help fight off the worries. Hey Nate, thanks for getting me through some rough shit. And maybe they're all just songs, it's not my business to read into it, but I hope you're doing well too and if not, I hope you get somewhere better. Again, thanks for sharing your music, it's helped so much.
I love how this video takes the style of Nate's older zw multimedia videos (camera moving and panning around a 3d space) and gives it the professionalism of his newer videos by adding the amazing looking animation
Really good animation, and the song is really nice. I loved the part when he says, forget the enemies you made, you are not a shadow, you won't fade. Really, is really nice to see this type of things, and more when people deny you, it really helps to get going, like, you are not just broken beyond repair. Really, thank you Nate
This song was one of my biggest motivations for a long time when I didn't know who I was or what my purpose in this world was. Thank you, Nate. You helped me to find my own way.
I forgot how much I love this song! The animation is amazing! Can anyone else picture Nate and Christina as the characters? Love the little waddle that is their walk animation! ;)
This was probably my favorite song of the album. Not only is the song great, but i absolutely loved this music video. it was an entire story in a few minutes. Bravo!
1.OMG that was a cool animation/animator . 2. So many great references in there 3. I'm glad there is now a official video now 4. Amazing song as always 💖🎤
I’M SHOOK THE LYRICS HAD SHE AND HE IN THE SONG THE WHOLE TIME WHAT BTW I am absolutely in love with the video!!! Especially the fact that it’s animated!!! Fantastic job to the person/team who created it!!!!
I love how all the videos by the side of this are just a mix of Panic! Fall Out Boy and All Time Low because Nate is exactly like all three of them bands but in his own way. His voice is so mesmerising
I think he means passed the pilot. Personally I have no idea (and if someone knows anything about that please do tell me) but the channel is posting other videos that look like they’re continuing the story with comic dubs. Haven’t really watched those but I’ve seen people do comic dubs in the past so that’s just my guess from how the video preview looks
They didn't drop the project, it's just still being worked on and since it's an animation series it's gonna take a bit more time. I'm placing my bets on later 2018 to mid 2019
I know this song is 5 years old now but I would really love to see you do a short for the explanation of this song. One of the most inspirational imo. I've been following you for about as old as this song is and the song that got me interested Was Your Kingdom Hearts tribute. I discovered it randomly and have been a fan ever since(maybe longer). I've just never been much of a commenter 😅
Kimmy It dosent seam much to you but as a artist i know how wonderfull the feeling is Of knowing that you have fans in all diffrent kind of places. SO pls. think bevor you stard a offensive talk
I can't tell if I'm more impressed by the music video or the music itself... Actually, I think I'm just refusing to choose one over the other. Loved this
This video is bugging out on me I can hear it but it's going really fast and it keeps pausing and skipping Edit: I just watched it on my laptop instead of my phone and it sounds great
This song made me cry...i thought a song would never cry unless i paired it up with a visual i thought might fit it but... THIS SONG MADE ME CRY! NATE! (i know this is late by years) BUT YOU'RE A FLIPPING GENIUS!
Not thast I expect replies but ever since I found Nate when I saw his FF15 song, I've been obsessed with his music. Can safely say he is my favourite artist by a mile, listen to his stuff daily. Keep it up Nate!

there's no way in hell that it's a coincidence.
Is it just me, or did the animation keep you guys more emotionally invested in the song and its story?
It's supposed to.
I thought the song was about overcoming an addiction to drugs.
It still can be. Art is extremely subjective. You can interpret the song however you like and you'll still be right. This is just to show what Nate was thinking when he wrote the song and when he plays the song.

I noticed that as well.
Absolutely love this song
Here's to another Collab but on his new album 👊
MandoPony SAME, my dude!
MandoPony It is an amazing song. Forever support NateWantsToBattle!
Wow! You two make a fantastic duo, your music styles complement each other, and, looks like there's good relation. You two are awesome.
Hi there MandoPony i'm one of your subscribers this is cool
So I'd like to point out for thats that...may not have noticed, but Nate is still doing it...
He's still referencing earlier things he's done in his newest songs.
"You're not a shadow, you won't fade." A direct callback to Hold onto You, which had "We're just shadows, meant to fade."
And then:
"And that's all logic, takes no luck to see the end."
Come on? Nate's voice acting work for the dub of Luck and Logic? Jumped out at me before the above one ever did.
I suspect there's one more that I'm missing somewhere.
“Don’t look before you take the fall” is almost a reply to StopRewind.
The beat to the chorus sounds like the beat to Salvaged.
Sandcastle kingdoms (the song not the album) the last line was from is fnaf song No more “maybe one day you’ll find humanity until then don’t you dare say that we are the same”
Gamer Element55 Yeah, I just recently heard the song. I think it's "To The Ends Of The Earth" where he says "Breaking down my walls, my lights and doors". Which is another reference to "No More".

Agreed

Two years later. How are you doing nowadays?
Theres a little bit about drugs in the mix "new sensations"
He saved her from the drugs she was addicted to while she was contemplating oding

@@umbra9472 still fighting :) so much has changed, and I'm excited to see what comes next.
It's not always easy, but it's worth it
HOW CAN SOMETHING BE THIS ADORABLE AND THIS BADASS AT THE SAME TIME?!? I LOVE IT!!!

Anime logic?
Ever heard of Kirby, King or Knight? Wow they all start with k’s, I promise that’s a coincidence! 😅
THIS JUST IN: NateWantsToBattle loves Funko POP figures
If we could get one of him that would be amazing
TheElijah0 yeah. I’d buy it immediately XD
Yes, of course!
Somewhere on Etsy I think, someone make a Funko Pop of nate
I would treasure that thing
Or a Nendoroid, if it means we can put different guitars on him. Then again, a lot of people would give him the trademark PRS.

Yeah but Caleb hyles took him over
Two emo Android mascots slay a dragon on their quest to break into the real estate market.
Still a better love story than Twilight.

Every love story is better then Twilight...
Thank you for making me laugh
HoodieSticks True my dude👍👍👍
HoodieSticks it's a wyvern actually.
I don't know if I've already said this, but this album really helped me through a rough point in my life. So thanks Nate.
Hope everyone enjoys the music video off of Sandcastle Kingdoms OUT NOW!
DOWNLOAD/STREAM THIS ALBUM ▶️ natewantstobattle.com/sandcastlekingdoms
i think it's about a girl who has anxiety and she's afraid to leave her house for some reason. the boy feels lonely, because girl isn't around anymore. one day he finally decides to step out of the shadows to help her and he rescures her from herself (maybe she tried to kill herself or shut everyone out). in the end they find out that this was just a beggining of their life.
what do you think they tried to tell us with this story?
to me it’s about scuicide and depression and nate’s battle through them (cause this playlist is based of his personal experiences)
Hey guys! The new original album "Paid in Exposure" is out June 1st. Pre-order/Pre-save it and hear the whole thing DAY 1!
LINK ▶️ ffm.to/paidinexposure

I love Nate so much! This music gives me such old school Fall Out Boy vibes he should be as popular as them
shhhhhhhhhhhhh the god has uploaded we need to listen to his word
diamønd fire damn right
Help I can't stop screeching, I need enlightenment
Me every time he uploads😁
Ugh, fucking love the guitars in these songs
I love the part when the music cuts and it's just Nate's voice, it was really powerful to me. IDK why but I really love that kind of thing.
Most. Underrated. Song. In. Existence
WOWIE! THAT ANIMATION... HOLY CRAP! IT'S SO CUTE AND AMAZING! MAN, I LOVE THIS SONG! IT'S MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE WHOLE ALBUM!
I love how this video takes the style of Nate's older zw multimedia videos (camera moving and panning around a 3d space) and gives it the professionalism of his newer videos by adding the amazing looking animation
Easily one of my top 3 favorites from the Sandcastle kingdoms 😍
2:50 best part
This was a Beautiful thing. Nate Never stop being an inspiration for people.
This song is still great. Thankyou Nate.
One year without paying to get the full album on a playlist. Worth it.
THIS ANIMATION IS ADORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL AND BADASS AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
this was needed during my finals week.
Every time I hear a song from this album I already have a box of tissues beside me
this is cute as heck fam
When little Nate started running I just couldn't stop laughing
Two music videos from two of my favorite artists
Cool beans
Fourcent :3
Really good animation, and the song is really nice. I loved the part when he says, forget the enemies you made, you are not a shadow, you won't fade. Really, is really nice to see this type of things, and more when people deny you, it really helps to get going, like, you are not just broken beyond repair. Really, thank you Nate
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I'M SO HAPPY THANKS NATE
This song was one of my biggest motivations for a long time when I didn't know who I was or what my purpose in this world was. Thank you, Nate. You helped me to find my own way.
Nate: You're not a shadow you won't fade.
Thanos: *Snaps fingers*
good lord 2019 truly was the year of all time
Natewantstobattle is a legend in the making
omg finally, i've been expecting a music video for this song so much
Hmm... I always saw this as a sequel to Live Long Enough, but this also rocks!
I forgot how much I love this song! The animation is amazing! Can anyone else picture Nate and Christina as the characters? Love the little waddle that is their walk animation! ;)
I am obsessed with this song. The video makes it even more emotional and I would be crying.
YOU’RE NOT NA-
WAIT YOU ARE?!
hi im Jeff
0:23
“I’ve done my best,
to look inside”
When Twitter is the reason you know the music video is out cause youtube wont notify you
Laura Lou Jackson fix your youtube settings😁 i think its broken
Lol. YYYAAASSS!
Laura Lou Jackson same
This was probably my favorite song of the album. Not only is the song great, but i absolutely loved this music video. it was an entire story in a few minutes. Bravo!
I want these lyrics tattooed all over my body
Update: "You're not a shadow, you won't fade" was part of my first tattoo
this is definitely my fav song from sandcastle kingdoms :)
1.OMG that was a cool animation/animator .
2. So many great references in there
3. I'm glad there is now a official video now
4. Amazing song as always 💖🎤
I’M SHOOK THE LYRICS HAD SHE AND HE IN THE SONG THE WHOLE TIME WHAT
BTW I am absolutely in love with the video!!! Especially the fact that it’s animated!!! Fantastic job to the person/team who created it!!!!
This song reminds me the old school nate covers. Just marvelous 😆😆
How does this not have 1 million views I’ve been listening since it came out
we made it 🥹
I prefer to see you like a badass in a mv but thats sooo cute, nicee!! My fav song! :3
2:11 I wasn't prepared to his arm to dislocate from his shoulder XD
Awesome song!
The character is so cute!
Dana Laptopcharger dude, im from Europe!
Im not American
You understand?

The very definition of perfection
I love this song
I love how all the videos by the side of this are just a mix of Panic! Fall Out Boy and All Time Low because Nate is exactly like all three of them bands but in his own way. His voice is so mesmerising
I was debating to listen to this song. Oh boy I don't regret it.
The Sandcastle Kingdoms songs seem to get some of the best videos. This is such a good song, and the animation goes amazing with it!
This reminds me, when's indigo ignited coming out?
x Suspended The pilot episode is already out
I think he means passed the pilot. Personally I have no idea (and if someone knows anything about that please do tell me) but the channel is posting other videos that look like they’re continuing the story with comic dubs. Haven’t really watched those but I’ve seen people do comic dubs in the past so that’s just my guess from how the video preview looks
Yeah I know, the pilot's been out since quite a while. The thing is there's no update even on the official website. I think they just dropped it
No, they make a comic for it. If you check their TH-cam channel, it has the comics on there. The comics are also published on WEBTOON.
They didn't drop the project, it's just still being worked on and since it's an animation series it's gonna take a bit more time.
I'm placing my bets on later 2018 to mid 2019
This is my favorite song right now and the animation made this song a billion times more epic.
Where the F**K is my #NATEIFICATIONSQUAD ?!!!!?!
Hey memeulous
Right here my man
YO
EXISTANT!!!

Thank you for the years of music.
This music video actually makes me like the song a lot more lol
Perfect By Design official music video when?
this is the coolest music video I have ever seen!!!
I can't watch now because I'm in class, but I'm sure it's amazing
I know this song is 5 years old now but I would really love to see you do a short for the explanation of this song. One of the most inspirational imo.
