Area 11 - Curtain Fall

[jackphillips]

A new year. A new single. A new banger.

[ContraNihility]

I cannot describe how much you all have improved as a band, this is excellent, I love the lyrics!

[sondreholm]

I love this song to bits.

Everybody take a piece of this song

[BountifulGames]

remember when they did stuff with the yogscast. damn man, my childhood

[phoenixtalon]

This came out of fucking nowhere. loved it. good job as usual, folks.

[Liamneedham]

Just saying, Lyrical Genius once again from this amazing band. Evidence...

"Oh speak to me, you stones!"

I can't reason why, but somehow this seemingly throwaway line resonated with me. Maybe its the desperation I felt in the tone of his voice, maybe its the fact that it gets my brain going trying to think of its meaning. I dont know really.

Is he actually speaking to Stones? Or Stoners? Or just people who are stubborn (unmoveable like rock)? Or people who wont talk to him (because stones dont talk)? Is it a metaphor for feeling nothing but apathy or lacking the inspiration to create things? Is it a metaphor for relationships that lack communication? Is it a metaphor for drug abuse, or loveless marriages, or a government that doesn't listen to the people, or a faceless corporation, or a god who doesn't answer prayers?

One line and yet so many possible interpretations. I haven't been in a while, is digital haunt wiki still going?

[MyRegularNameWasTaken]

I love that the first half of this song is entirely from the perspective of a character who's decided their best option is to die, and then the ENTIRE SONG MOOD shifts when "The Watchers gather in the sky" to this powerful inspirational chorus. The shift to a major key just makes that whole moment feel almost angelic.

Who are the Watchers? No clue. But I know what they stand for.

[Ari_Bytes]

This moved me in ways few songs have ever done.
"Knowing smile `cause we'll make it anyway. Cling to me and my scars that prove it all."

[Nermian]

Idc what anyone says, this new shit is lyrically better than all they have done before and this makes me hopeful and happy where the band is going with their style. I loved MS like everyone else. But this just. Feels more open for me to interpret and just chill and listen to - Good job guys :D

[aidymch]

This is a really good song guys, love the music yous have been putting out recently :))

[Winter_Chill_]

It's sad to be one of those fans who will always prefer the older stuff and finds it harder to listen to the new
but I'm still happy to say it's enjoyable, it sounds a lot more inspired and professional than the old obviously anime-inspires stuff
I can't wait to hear the album when it comes out

[softenthegrave]

holy shit this is gorgeous and i love the scenery and music. So much

[siren_atlantica]

First three seconds had me hooked. Sounds awesome through headphones.

[DownWithLogic]

This one gave me a weird unexpected nostalgia, Area 11 you always bring something interesting to the table. Thank you :)

[ava_]

This is amazing, it has this almost haunting quality to it. It sort of sounds like a cry of frustration and the lyrics are as profound as ever. I loved the old Area 11 but I love the new Area 11 even more. KEEP THIS UP, YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING BEASTS!

[PorkchopousPig]

The lyrics have this depth that speaks to my depression. I love seeing you and your music evolve. This is incredible.

[ShroomRPG]

It's insane how this band evolved from being some dudes making songs about anime to being genre bending pioneers with a totally unique vibe that make absolute BANGERS like this

Definitely the biggest musical glow up in recent memory

[JayRidge]

The amazing lyrics combined with the beautiful scenery of the video makes for a breathtaking experience all packed into 4 minutes, bravo

[miwiarts]

Every time I listen to this song, I get goosebumps all over my body! 😍 Your (the whole band's) songs inspire me so much, in so many ways. 💕

Glad to see more new music. Hope this trend continues... even if not as often, just more solid music.
