When a song by gojira touches your soul, the silence that follows is also by gojira

[Solaweee]

Lyrics:
On the first light of the day you march on
Departure has arrived, don't look back
Avoid the darkness, stay away, stay out of sight
Until you feel the blast of a shooting star
Following the spark like a rocket in the sky
Between the bear and the scorpion, getting close
Headed north, frozen land, where tigers go to die
Don't fear the cold, it'll numb your memories out
You are higher
In the sky
Learn the skill to stay alive, survival
The city is so mean, you're being watched
Reach the tunnel, light the torch, you're on the hunt
Until the light calls you back into the wild
When you get to the other side, please send a sign
It'll fly through the atmosphere in time
And if you hold the truth within your hands
You won't be sent back, through the rain, reborn
Everlasting love is ever-growing
Hang on to what you have and let it grow
Everlasting love is ever-dying
It's in the past, you have to let it go

The Magma album was a spiritual experience for me.

[SoberX]

This song has so much meaning for me. My old man was in his last days in the hospital. I was driving home and this song came on. It was weird but at that time everything came clear and emotions came flooding. This is forever his song. When I saw em in Indy, I cried like a SOB, but was glad I saw em at it live. Thank you Gojira for this song, but not only this song... But all the music you make.

[Fluffyolphert]

Fuck me this is ridiculously good, without a doubt the best modern metal band.

[badoinker]

I know that Magma isn't a favourite of Gojira fans, but I love it because it's one of the most melancholic albums I've ever heard. Like every song is a eulogy, this song specifically is my favoruite because of how much it riffs on needing to move on from a painful past. Amazing band as always.

Between The song and comments, massive Goosebumps.

"It's in the past, you have to let it go", then Mario meaningfully looking at his brother.. Great sound, and great editing, also

[Hoojo]

I lost my dad to a brain aneurysm, then my best friend to cancer. "It's in the past you have to let it go." nearly cripples me when i hear it let alone see it in Mario's eyes, Joe's voice and every note played by the band as a whole. This song, this band is so far beyond, it touches and speaks to your soul. Not all music does this. The world is better with these men making this music. I am crying.

[wereign]

Every time I think metal is dead, I find a band like this and my faith is restored.

[TheMarizanebogdan]

Really good version, Joe's vocals sound amazing.

[francislegall]

I'm french, nearly sixty, amateur drummer and very big fan of John Bonham, Bill Brufford, Gavin Harrison, Elvin Jones and Christian Vander. I discovered my french fellow countrymen of Gojira a few weeks ago. This BBC recording of Shooting Star is the most powerful and moving thing I've seen for such a long time. The look of Mario Duplantier at the end is so deep and meaningful. I can die now. Trop fort. Merci

[spartan]

OMFG Christan guitar's tone is absolutely INSANE !!

[theyounggun]

Joe: *plays sick solo*
Cameraman: I wonder what the bassist is doing

[ClaudioLuiz]

Joe's vocals in this version gets all the feels from this song. It felt SO HEAVY to me, it almost brought me tears.

[Peedjay]

The expressions, the song, the band, the meaning... Everything is there and everything is perfect.... Everything.

[Gravityys]

Mario's look at the end sent chills down my spine, it's like he's mourning in his own way through music.

3:52 I love how Joe sounds like he is screaming and singing, literally sounds like 2 voices at the same time

[AmineKabour]

Give Gojira a God damn GRAMMY AWARD!!!

[RafaelMartinez-gvbe]

All the people gone can't be replaced, all we can be grateful for is the time we shared together, and that they're not suffering anymore. I hope all of you who are going or has gone through the loss of someone can grieve with the love and support you deserve.
