Exactly. No other colony in real life would allow the human race to integrate with their growth & expansion. Humanity is a greed race to a self destructive point & humanity is also deathly afraid of anything different from itself so that's war to TAKE what they want out of desperation or take another reason off the board. In reality the final frontier is TRULY the Final Frontier. The death of the last of humanity is that finale.

"Who can trust us when they learn why we're adrift," is such a good lyric to capture the hopelessness of this situation.

Who can trust a species negligent or callous enough to do that?

They will recognize the cracked souls of those whom have lost their one and true home behind tired and steely eyes.

That would be cool, but unfortunately, all of our environmental issues will not end up with a sudden collapse of our infrastructures, volcano and oceans rising up in days. It will be a very slow process that is hard to stop and will create tension within humanity. At some point it will be more and more difficult to produce food (mostly due to global warming) and we will reach a breaking point where we will probably not be able to feed every human one the planet even though he divide it equally among all the people. It will rise tension between nation and food insecurity and conflicts on the globe. So when the humanity will be down to just a big ship, the earth will be still functioning and land will still be here for us too live. Just dryer and hotter and with less land because of the rise of the ocean. It could happen though that the earth become inhabitable by human (shit in the air composition, global acidification of the earth) but with bigger issues and causes that what we have now. (like the dinosaurs meteor with change the air composition and obscured too heavily the sky) And going into the space is that big of a challenge that i doubt if it would happen that we will do it in a century

“Once there was a Ship of Stone Clear domed, broad hulled and clean Where the air shown blue, through whose holds birds flew And whose decks were growing green And no matter how odd these things may seem As madly mazed as shards of dream They are not a dream that you dream alone All ships, all men, are of one kin We shall not forget the Ship of Stone” - Leslie Fish, Ship of Stone

I've been listening to this song every single day since it came out and each time I FEEL what they are going through. The hopelessness, the sadness. Imagine, you being part of the last few people left on the planet you've known all your life, imagine it being destroyed seconds after escaping. That right there, THAT is what got the tears in my eyes. When they escaped the ever burning ash and dust of the building collapsing into/onto the planet, after all the years of panicking that the planet would explode at any moment. when they knew they were free from the hell they were born in, when the knew they had a second chance at life, I felt all that hope and happiness. No song has ever made me feel this way, never. Jonathan may never see this, but if you so happen to see it. Keep making original songs...this is the thing we never knew we needed until it was here. And you know what? I've been thinking, what if this was voiced? The animation I mean?

It was this very feeling that made Firefall, by Red 5 Studios, one of my absolute favorite online games of all time before The 9 ruined it. (Not to mention the CRAZY good gameplay). Humanity had lost earth to a monstrous sentient energy death cloud called the Melding. It had slipped in and invaded our universe from its own like a parasite, because humanity got too greedy with its newfound interstellar exploration powers and attempted too big and too far of an arc spacefold before we were ready. The game was about trying to fight back the melding and reclaim our broken world, which had been forever changed. Unfortunately, The 9 (a fucking money-grubbing cheap mobile-market cash-grab game company from China) got ahold of the rights, ruined the game, and killed it some time ago. What I would give to see that game remade as it was in the heyday of its best public beta versions...

I dunno, I think the video sabotages the core premise of the song. In the song, humanity is running from certain death, and into the unknown. ("undiscovered system far from here" and "where ever the wind may take us" ), they don't even know if the ship will work ("if the wind takes our sails") or if they themselves can survive the journey ("if we live to tell the tale") The video clearly shows the ship working as expected, and they have a place to run to, and not just to run from. Once they've lifted off, it turns from a desperate race for survival and search for a new home to more or less a bus ride.

How is this simultaneously hope and despair?

Still can't get enough of this album! Love the story, the message, the animation, the instrumentals, the melody, the lyrics and those damn vocals of yours Sir, are just abso-bloody-lutely fire! 🤯🤘🔥Top notch job all round! KZread algorithm gods, pls do your thing kthx!

If the algorithm doesn't swipe up this entire soundtrack to drop into trending, I'll riot.

This song gives me big environmentalist/space enthusiast feelings, just listening to the song on the album made me cry. This video gives me goosebumps.

The legacy of the human race, we caused the problems, and we tried to fix them, when we failed, we didn’t give up, we just kept fighting, humans can be horrible, but we dont give in. Not even to our planet being destroyed.

@@Fairydragon- To me that's what I love about people when I see them. a lot of living creatures in history have had severe impact on their environment(often eating a certain animal or plant until it's extinct or something), and wouldn't care any less for it. Humans are one of the few that can become aware of such behavior and attempt to stop eachother from giving out pain to other creatures. I believe modern people need to be taught to love the species they're a part of again. That mistakes does not condemn a group that has been following animalistic impulses since the dawn of time and will continue doing so.

I suggest to look through the HFY (humanity fuck yeah) subreddit

This is the WALL-E prequel anime series we've all been waiting for

This is hands down my favorite music of the album. The esthetics, the world described, everything just fits and meshes to tell you a story that might just ends up being ours.

Got some serious Macross 7 vibes. Space ark's and Rock! Love it!

This song hits so much harder with the animation. Great job, Jonathan, and great job to the animator.

Johnathan Young is leading us to a new frontier with his music

It's amazing how you can make me miss a genre of music that stopped being popular long before I was born.

"who can trust us when we can't even trust our self." reletable for me!

I don't usually comment on videos but I want to help with the youtube's algorithm. I liked the song and the video! keep up the good job uwu

I swear this song makes me weep every goddamn time. With all the gems of Starship Velociraptor, this is the best one for me. So powerful - it punches my guts like the best apo/post-apo stories in less than six minutes. Thank you, Jon, and please keep rockin'.

A song for the ages to be sure!

The lyrics are haunting. The visuals are brilliant. Excellent work as always, Jonathan.

Cannot wait for the rest of the Starship Velociraptor animated music videos.

I don't think I've ever been so emotionally invested in the animation for a music video! When the planet started breaking I was terrified that the family was going to be left behind. Great work and fantastic music!

I think what I like most about this song is that, while it's appeal to society in part & whole is clear, and it openly states our guilt, it doesn't focus on making us feel bad for our mistakes. It encourages us to do better despite them. Which is a step that I wish was taken more: The difference between "you did this badly/wrong!" and "You can do this better!". And, y'know, the fact that it's a banger to listen to.

You know, at first I judged this song hard because of its environmental message. But I realize now that I made a snap judgement. I feel very strongly about how manipulative environmentalism can be, and at times I only see a weapon to exploit Western civilization. In the midst of that, sometimes I forget that the world isn't black and white and there's a reason for everything. Sorry for the paragraph, but you're right friend. This song doesn't try to break you apart with guilt. It encourages you to be your better self. I just hope that someday I can become better about not judging others and seeing the bigger picture. It's hard.

@@WokeandProud True, an objective analysis would allow one to reach that conclusion. The reason I'm skeptical is that often the US is singled out as the cause of the world's destruction, treated with a level of harshness not imposed on any other country. When scientific studies are abused for political gain, hardly anyone speaks out against it, as if they're perfectly okay with fear mongering as a solution to pollution. I guess my question is: Is this really science, or a forced consensus to manipulate statistics? Considering how hard it is to predict the weather, even today, an accurate prediction of its distant future is something to be skeptical of. I just don't trust that the numbers are reliable, since research is hardly ever as cut-and-dry as what we're currently presented with. It's entirely possible that with the control of a biased majority, we just aren't getting all the facts.

I love the sense of tragic yet determined lamentation yet persevering in this song and video

I can't stop listening to this album. We need more of your original content like this, some of these songs are easily the best you've put out.

This song has the best lyrics on the entire album.

ALEX! PLEASE! DO SOMETHING WITH MY BOY JONATHAN! You two would CRUSH the music world!!

Something about 3:45 to the end REALLY struck me. It solidified this song as not only a declaration of determination but also it was as if whoever is singing this is trying to inspire hope while acknowledging how terrifying a journey such as this is. It's a really thought provoking piece. How would we as human prepare ourselves for a journey into deep space as a species? Not just a 5 person crew? In any case, badass stuff man!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾well done!🔥🔥

So I've been listening to this album regularly since it came out and damn the line "burning bed our fathers made" goes so hard.

4:34 Was half expecting at this point an elderly man in a cloak to pick the plushie up, remove his hood to reveal an elderly Jonathan, watching as the ship takes off, giving a smile before looking at the plushie and in subtitles say "left you behind huh little guy, that's fine, lets watch the end together." before walking away into the chaos around him.

Wow. The oldshool anime style makes it even better

seeing the ending shots where we see the earth from the outside, it made me deeply sad. earth is our home planet, to see it destroyed in such a way hurts a lot.

Because this hits so hard I feel that this is such a great possibility that it terrifies me to think about what awaits our children or youngsters. WE HAVE TO CHANGE, OR EVERYTHING THAT HUMANITY BUILD WILL BE LOST

As if the album wasn’t epic enough, you went the extra mile with these animated music videos!

Holy shit, we are blessed with originals

the animation makes it so much better and it was already so good

Had to order a signed copy-this album has no weak tracks. PERIOD.

Damn straight, and I couldnt be happier.

Something i really love is how the song and video condemns the worst of us but also celebrates the best of us,

I'm in love with this song, so happy I'm subscribed so this song showed up for me, pls youtube algorithm see this and share this song for more people

I finally figured it out. This song sounds like a folk song put into rock. That’s why I love it so much.

Flip, why did you have to add that stuffed rabbit? It made this 10 times sadder ;-; Maybe I'm just in a poetic mood but I really felt that strong metaphor to the good memories being left behind to be destroyed.

The lyrics are really fantastic. I really hope that the mighty algorithm picks this song up, because many needs to hear it!

Ohhhh this is SO GOOD, why am I only seeing this now?????

Depressing song on its own, hopeful with the video. Now that’s what I call creative flexibility! I love this song lol

My favourite song on the album, followed by Ten Thousand Light Years.

I think this might be my favorite from the new album! Great video and song Jonathan! Since my last comment on your "Thank you. Big Changes coming" video, I noticed I was mistaken and you had already posted animated music videos for Best Band in the world and Jetpack race. I feel kinda silly having stated that you had only released the full album video but figured I better come clean ahaha! Anyway, glad to see another video for another track and I'm counting the days to see the rest! I'm sure many of your audience are like me and don't know what they've missed (KZread notifications amirite?) until more and more comes out and we will all look back at the masterpieces you're releasing!

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
