@@frigginirishloons Bad decisions in the direction of the band... The first album was the best, and the second one is saved by some songs, and then the band got lost. They started out with an industrial and experimental rock style and then drifted into generic rock.
It was too cool for that time. Therefore, it was underrated. Can you believe that this song lives for more than 20 years? It looks like a novelty, still fresh.
I agree. I remember hearing Pretty When You Cry on the radio when I was in HS. Never heard anything like it before. Check out Turquoise/Crimson and April if you haven't.
@@CharlesBronsnPinchot I first heard it in an amv with samurai x. Vast is a touchstone to my heart since that few moments when Kenshin found the breaking pain and this song collided. Since then, I've taken great tragedy and don't complain.
I bought the album back in 1999 after reading a 5* review in 'Sounds' music magazine. The album is superb but this track is otherworldly. I have played Touched hundreds of times and it ALWAYS makes me cry... now that is songwriting genius. I'm in my mid-sixties and this is still my favourite song.
Interestingly enough, the band Catharsis used the same song for their work Sabbat. The album Passion...obsession came out a year later than VAST. Edit: the song on Passion...is Izgrejala jasna zvezda. My bad.
There have been two times in my life where music managed to perfectly articulate what I was going through and what I was feeling. The first time was in 1994 when I first listened to Nine Inch Nails. The second time was about a month ago when I discovered Vast. I've been listening to his albums on Spotify and he doesn't have a B track. Every song knocks me on my ass and is helping me process a broken heart. I wish I could write the dude and say thanks. My God, this is some of the most beautiful, moving music I've listened to in my life.
It's good to read this comment, but unfortunately I can't understand the lyrics beacause my listening of English is almos t in basic level still. What is about this song, my friend, please?
When I first heard this song I was absolutely blown away and it instantly became my favorite song of all time. It's the perfect mix of past, present, and future with acoustic and electric guitars, industrial and ancient elements, thundering drums and deep bass. I only wish the album lyrics focused more on the unknown rather then relationships.
Laird Hamilton's tow surfing brought me here. Massive crash of music engulfed me in an ocean swell that keeps me tumbling in the rip tide. I died and went to rock heaven..........
Did you know? AJ Styles' theme in ROH was modelled around this song. But however it was remixed and sampled by Slim Jim and Lab Rats. Giving it their own taste.
This is quite possibly my absolute favorite song in the world. Sure it helped that I first heard it at age 16…from the trailer for The Beach. And immediately became obsessed. Ironic it’s not in the movie. VAST was one of my first introductions to “goth rock”, which led me to appreciate other artists and bands they were inspired by. Also VAST was my first concert and saw it with my band members/best friends. I still have the guitar pick from the show! Such good memories.
Iv been looking for this song for almost 20 years Lol i hear it on the trailer for the movie the beach, went out and bought the soundtrack but it wasnt on there ugh..... I asked my friends and tryed to sing it to them but nobody ever figured it out cuz i suck at singing but i finally found it.....hellz yeah
This was on a show called Angel -- maybe one or two you know it -- and I heard it for the first time there... It was one of those times where a song just completely took over my mind for a couple of weeks. I would just play this song and get high off it over and over. I wouldn't want to change one second of it.
Just a random musing. We all have an encounter with someone who effects us like this song interprets and portrays. Intentionally or not they hit you right at your core. And for better or worse you are altered in a fashion you would not have thought possible. It can leave you keening for it should it fail...which of course in most instances it does. The other person is simply another human being after all. No different from yourself. You think you have found something, in them, lacking in yourself. But here's the thing. That which they ignite is simply an aspect already within yourself. It's never gone. It's been with you since your moment of conception. Once you understand this then you can move into your future in a fashion better than you have to date. Good luck. John~ American Net'Zen
This song is so underestimated and I found it by chance, checking out some Bulgarian folk songs. These guys need more promotion, concerts, radio presence, whatever.
An absolute banger that came in hot as the first track of a Scholastic book series promo CD. Never finished _Everworld,_ but have kept this lodged in my mind for, what, over two decades now?
This is incredibly moving, especially speaking with my friend Nathan who introduced this masterpiece to me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom through music. You are loved, from Vancouver, Canada♥️
This is epic, class, one and only,. for me the Vast thing started when I saw Logo of Vast done by the same people who did open credits for David Fincher's 7even the movie. Kyle Cooper and hid Prologue did CD cover for the Vast's first album. Ever since this music was with me for years. The genius of Cosby will amaze me forever....this music will be played on my funeral. Epic and breath taking in every way. For some reason this band is very underrated. Did saw them ones live in New York and will never forget it, It was epic. Not sure what happened to them after all these years, but any time I go back to Vast tunes I get goose bumps. First album was done by Cosby himself only. He did all the instruments by himself. One recollection ... I need to find out if on video Pretty When You Cry you see a man played by Czech stunt/dwarf Mr. Krytinar and would love to know if it was shot in Prague. Anynone? I would hope so. At the end . . every time I hear Vast . it always remind me of the fact . . . that I am still alive. Simple as that. Thanks you,
Reminds me of me and my man.. my heart burns for hum while I wait for him to come back to me. We're both lost wolves in this vast world and once we found each other. It was unlike anything I've experienced. He is forever my destination to get back to.. Andrew I love you!
I‘m kinda surprised that nobody mentions that this song is about losing a loved one through suicide. Although it still works as a „normal“ tragic love song, it‘s still pretty obvious after seeing the video. Maybe it‘s so clear that nobody has the need to write about it, but i was surprised that I didn‘t see one comment after scrolling down. What a great song….
Yes. It is about loss - it could just be from a normal break up, but the mention of dying roses and razors, and then the film clip make it obvious what the song is about. Also, if you look at the translation of the Bulgarian Choir song that is sampled, then it is about loving someone now because turbulent times are coming.
I don't know why I didn't already know that. But it makes perfect sense. The explosion of sound with the choir and instruments is a perfect representation of the initial impact of grief.
411 vm issue #60... one of the greatest intros to a skate video I've seen. Remembering getting super hyped over this song, and I've been a fan ever since.
This album probably rivals Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness for amount of times played when I was in high school. Holy shit it's so good, and it holds up.
This song and this album where something different from the pack, I think! Huge praise to Jon Crosby! Went back to some forgotten CDs yesterday and just kept on listening to this jewel and "Pretty when you cry" (another super beast of a song)!
As a early teen in early 2000s I always seen this album in the CD store. It always caught my eye but I unfortunately never gave it a chance. 😞 But then I discovered it in my early 30s and can not stop listening. I wish 12-13 year old me would of given it a chance so bad so it would be nostalgic to me now.
Jon Oliva and Savatage were the most underappreciated awesome band of the last century. Sadly, Jon Crosby and VAST have that distinction in this century. JC, thank you for the divine music. (Mothers, do not name your kid 'Jon' if you hope for them to become rock stars.)
I first heard this song in the trailer for "The Beach". The only reason I went to see that movie in the theater was to hear it, and watch the credits to see who it was. It wasn't used in the movie. I was piiiiiiissed. Ha! I did find it shortly thereafter, though, and it's been in my top 3 albums of all time ever since.
I remember hearing this song on the radio late 90s but they stop playing and this song was always in my head for a long time and remember hearing it on the beach trailer and thought the song would be on the cd but it wasn't which a very disappointment. By around 2006 it was still in my head and do some research at the time and finally found it. Still enjoy it to this day.
2024... still love this song ❤❤
Yes 🔥
So happy people still comeback to appreciate this masterpiece
I agree it's masterpiece 👍 10 years past and I still love it.
I’ve been jamming out to this song for over 20 years and will continue for at least another 20.
Why stop?
Same for me
Ditto. It's top 5 that I play all the time.
So incredibly underrated. It's 2024 and still nails my head to the floor.
Me too. What I'd do to see these live again
why is vast so unfamous? this song is just.. i can't
i was in college, in the early 2000's, and VAST was well known. not sure why it didn't blow up
First heard it in Angel episode Lonely Hearts

I've been a fan of them ever since, unfortunately I only own one album lol Think I should go hunt for more.
.....phenomenal
This whole album is underrated. It has lived in my car since I bought it years ago.
It was too cool for that time. Therefore, it was underrated. Can you believe that this song lives for more than 20 years? It looks like a novelty, still fresh.
the first record was really good too. the album justin and steve made after they left was really good as well. Justin is a phenomenal singer.

What makes him awesome is he didn't change the Bulgarian Choir's sound at all, just sampled it straight in.
Do you name of the Bulgarian choir? I find that part mesmerizing

You speak my mind. Did you know that the albums were produced by sampling? Incredible work.

This song has always been absolutely perfect.
VAST is something I listened to daily. Entire albums over and over. Simply incredible. Still to this day. Unappreciated. Too bad.
I will never stop listening to this song.
This Video Masterpiece deserves a Remastering!
My God! How can this masterpiece never got the acknowledgement it deserves
Agreed, one of the best songs ever
Dude, the song was used in so many trailers and TV shows. It largely got his recognition at the time
AJ Styles! Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap!
AJ Styles! Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap!

Angel tv show introduced me to this song and I’ve loved it ever since.
Same
Same
Me two but it took me two years to find it even low on angel I could know at the time the artist and title of song
Ditto
For me it was through the trailer for the movie the Beach (2000).
Had to pause Angel S1 Ep2 Lonely Hearts to find this 😍🤘😝
Had to have it 💙💚
Stunning 😍
SAME!
Same lol that's my favorite show
@@YuiTheMagicalGirl it's such a great show
Glad I'm not the only one!
😂
I remember when I saw their first video “FREE” I went & bought their first album. It was on cassette tape lol. I have always like these guys.
This song is brilliant beyond all recognition in this dimension.
Laird Hamilton's tow surfing brought me here. Massive crash of music engulfed me in an ocean swell that keeps me tumbling in the rip tide. I died and went to rock heaven..........
Thank you Angel for allowing me to discover this song
Did you know?
AJ Styles' theme in ROH was modelled around this song. But however it was remixed and sampled by Slim Jim and Lab Rats. Giving it their own taste.
I had no clue! That’s why promo joe played this song for a clip of an Aj Styles botch
@@BryceBoudreauxMMA_Announcer I know right
@@BryceBoudreauxMMA_Announcer when?
One of my favorite themes of his
@@cameronwalker4529 when?
Been my favorite song for twenty years. I hope my son will love it as much, some day. Thank you!
I've heard VAST 10 years ago but I love it. And will still love it.
Still remember finding this and "Free" as a senior in HS back in 2000... hard to believe it's been nearly a quarter-century ago. Great music!
Guy has such a beautiful voice very rare to hear artists have this sort of talent. And his lyrics are so well written

That's awesome, I haven't heard this song in 15 years but the chorus has been bugging me for weeks so I had to find it. 😎
Pilence pee
Bulgarian folk song
Also sampled in Narod by DJ-89
It’s an amazing album. Bcuz even after these couple of decades it’s still easy to listen to the album with no skips ❤❤❤
This whole album 💿 is timeless!

Thanks mate.
Thank you.
Ohhhhh, this song...it takes me, it mesmerizes me. I am overwhelmed and get lost in the chasm that is VAST. And I want more, more, more...
This song is so underestimated and I found it by chance, checking out some Bulgarian folk songs. These guys need more promotion, concerts, radio presence, whatever.
Best Vast album. This was the first song I heard back in the day and I've been a fan ever since.
It's not really shocking as it really is a fantastic Album. Most bands/singers get one or two songs.
Still listening in lock down 2020.
To this day still one of my favorite albums.
Again...all over this group since day 1, ALL ALBUMS, very darn underrated!
Masterpiece!!!! Now this is what I call music! And the Bulgarian Voices Sample…OMG!!!!!
Angel season one brought me here
here for the same... that show and this song, what makes you feel like this?!....
2024 greetings from POLAND, this music was super..
My song of my first love. My soul mate. 1996. Still missing him 25 years later 😔
Do not lose hope.
i came here from a video that a fan of Vikings had made with Lagertha and Ragnar scenes!!!it fits so perfect with this couple!!!very beautiful song!!!

I think the amv took control. This song with Kenshin was absolutely epic
I'm shaking thinking about it
A declaration of love that leaves the person touched.
One the best of all time. Perfect
thanks... it's great when a song you love pops up and reminds you... I also love - Pretty When You Cry - by vast...
I blasted this through big headphones on my 8-year-old nephew and watched his mind and mouth explode.
It's the best album I've ever heard. Every song perfekt. Full of feelings, power and pain. A masterpiece.
Ever since I heard this song on Angel, I was hooked. How was this song not on the charts?
Pretty When You Cry and this song had pretty regular rotation on MTV and MTV2 when it came out. That’s how I discovered it in middle school
😂
This is phenomenal
I looked into your eyes and saw a world I wish I was in

00:49 . .starts Drowning into another dimension in 2021 ! Keep this music alive ps!
Vast makes so much more sense when you turn it up all the way and listen to the whole discography while driving from Sacramento to Oregon
THINK ABOUT IT… EVERY PERSON AND MATTER FILLED WITH THE SAME PRESENCE… PRETTY PROFOUND
Reminds me of me and my man.. my heart burns for hum while I wait for him to come back to me. We're both lost wolves in this vast world and once we found each other. It was unlike anything I've experienced. He is forever my destination to get back to.. Andrew I love you!

They had another song on an intro. Believe it was issue 44. “Last One Alive”. Two of the best songs that could have ever been used for a skate part.
2022 the year and still touched.
Ugh my teenage heart was burned and etched with this sound forever. Plead I don't leave you alone!

i love discovering old music
the elements the transendent nature of this artist and there music was pretty captivating at the time
just so you know this is the best song ever made and you guys are true artists, this song means a lot to me, trust me, a lot
This song is incredible.
When I first heard this song, I was leaving bartending school in Az when it first came out. Near the end of the song, I was in tears.
What a song. Lush.
My favorite song by him.
Is it bad if you keep replaying this song over and over again? Cause that's what I've been doing for the hour
I first heard this in the documentary, ' Step Into Liquid" and it's been with me ever since. ♾🌊⛱🐼🐧
GORGEOUS !
Masterpiece and a voice, song writer and band too deep and good for this world to understand.
I'll never find someone quite like you , vast is a fave
the beach trailer brought me here during the release!!!!
I really wish, you would come back to music xxx
Wow, this is powerful and gives me the warm and cold shivers. And I thought romantic Gothic morbid love stories had all been told. 🦇❤🦇
Loved this song from the very first time I heard it. I had to own it. The whole album is timeless!
