achilles come down ━ gang of youths (slowed + reverb) 

to get rid of any adds this may have, skip to the end of the song and then hit replay!

His voice sounds the way dark chocolate tastes, you know what I mean?

Me and the rest of the artists furiously writing down our animatic ideas for this song:

6:09 “Be done with this now, and get off the roof. Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you.” Chills, man, chills.

“name one hero who was happy.” “you can’t. let me tell you a secret. i’m going to be the first one.”

'tis a story of the olden days when gods wandered the earth where a warrior endured his end long before he met his death

it is even more wrecking when you understand the French intermissions. when it says: so many people die because they think life is not worth living

Achilles and Patroclus: *madly in love* historians: _and they were roomates_

after song of achilles this song be hitting different

this SLAPS when you're laying in bed depressed lmfao

Patroclus: You're scaring us, and all of us - *remembers Agamemnon * Patroclus: - uh, some of us love you...

this isn’t helping my OBSESSION with this song (it’s an actual problem)

When it's slowed down like that he sounds like a storm cloud pouring down around while thunder rumbles so deep it shakes the very ground on which you stand. A face forms out of the clouds above you, a face; stern but kind locks eyes with you he encourages you to keep going. There's so much to do. Lightning splits a tree and from the burning limbs you see cruel face, spitting poison into your ears. The burning tree extinguishes and the storm continues in relative silence.

My family better play this at my funeral or I'm not dying.

this has such a different vibe from the original I'm ascending

Explain how NOBODY HAS MADE AND ACTUAL ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS ANIMATIC WITH THIS SONG WTH :(

Me: Ah so, the CORPSE version

it's *MY* mental breakdown and *I* get to choose the music

the “bad” thoughts give me like... zeus vibes? i definitely imagine his voice to be super deep.

"Where you go I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping. Since there is no me without you" I got serious Mark of Athena vibes

This truly sounds like my voice of reason fighting me to safely get off the roof in the middle of a heavy storm, lecturing me in a voice deeper then the rolling thunder (Haikyu fans please don't-). The voice in nearly frightening, rumbling without any physical impact, like being lectured be a parent that you've never seen, but somehow know, almost like a dream where you know someone's name, or who they are, or your relationship with them without it ever being stated. Like a heavy storm forming in my lungs, through my blood like a stern river. The second voice only seems to resonate in my head, blocking off the rest of my body, nearly paralyzing. More so like when you're playing some form of hide and seek in the dark and feel something brush against your back, despite you being all alone. A true heart vs. head argument. Together, the voices almost seem to suffocate me, like someone reached out and just stopped my diaphragm, controlling when I can breathe at uncomfortable intervals. It feels almost like watching something you love, or something ridiculously expensive be destroyed in front of you as you stand powerless, some invisible force holding your feet to the floor.

“When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”

POV: It’s the end of 2020. You’ve survived it - a global pandemic, the hardest year of your life, unable to see people you know and losing those you love. You look back at this year and realize that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, a silver lining to the cloud laced with lightning and echoing of thunder. Even against the odds, you survived.

does anyone know any other songs like this. i need them to breathe.

"he is half of my soul, as the poets say"

It feels like the dawn of a new era

there are not enough people talking about the "how the most dangerous thing is to love" part, chills every time.

my religious trauma tells me this; A kid whose always lacked faith, never really interested in the words of the church but still forced to go because of their family had been driven to a vulnerable state of mind due to the shame they've felt for not believing in a higher power. They find refuge on the roof of a cathedral, their mind in an incredibly dark place. The view is beautiful, a portrait made from heaven if the kid could believe in such a thing. Conflict tears the kid's heart in two, and suddenly, the open air beyond a marble ledge seems incredibly inviting. They prepare to jump. Maybe in death, they will finally have an answer to this chaos. They'll find peace, faith. But before they could raise a foot to jump, a statue of a winged figure questions the kid. Believing this was some desperate hallucination, the kid tries to ignore the moving concrete- until the one on their left decides to speak up. "Jumping, are we? That's certainly a way to get noticed." The winged figure chimes, disinterested in the child's turmoil. While the one on their left, also winged with bat-like features disagreed. "Don't listen to the angel, with as many eyes it has, it cannot see sorrow like I can." The kid, very confused, and ultimately terrified, watches as the statues converse back and forth. The topic being the very soul that stood between them. The angel scoffs "The unfaithful will find their punishment." The demon retorts, "Sit with me, your time does not end on holy ground." The kid looks down, a final time. Their hands trembling as the two statues argued, it was as if the conflict had physically manifested. Now, the ledge didn't seem quite as welcoming... EDIT!!! For those interested, I've made a wattpad so that I could continue this story, and explore religion :))! As well as write other stories, if you are interested, it's @theyriot

It was very chilly outside. The December air felt so cold and sad at the same time. As a little girl, around her 4th or 5th year at school was at the 5th-floor roof. Unlike her age, her eyes are surprisingly dull and tired. She was heartbroken from all the words and assault she got from someone that should've thought her not only math but social life and love. But yet the teacher only broke her forever and shattered. She didn't even leave a note on her phone. The teacher had kicked her out cause she was too slow to calculate the numbers. She can jump. It will be all over and see the loved ones again. As she left out her first step to the edge of the room. Something inside her heart tugged her back. "Don't." She didn't understand why. "Don't you want this pain to end forever? You'll see the people you love again. In other ways, you're just a waste of air and money anyways just like the teacher told you." a second voice told her. The other voice spoke " You'll regret jumping. You'll miss a lot of things in life." "MY LIFE WAS ALREADY RUINED ENOUGH FOR HER!" the other shouted. The girl didn't know which one to listen to. As her wrist didn't show the scars her heart was shattered and unmendable. But something inside told her to not do it. To come down. As about 30 minutes passed. The girl came down. She survived another day against her will.

yangyang PLUS one of my favorite song ever??? you're a BLESSING!

this is so different from the original but still so hauntingly beautiful and I love this so much omg

I feel like a maiden in flowing dress running through a large castle with flowers in my hair whenever I listen to this

idk if this sounds weird but this song makes me feel certain emotions that i only feel when i listen to it

I want this instrumental so bad I love the violin

AHHHHHH HIS VOICE IS LIKE ALL RICH AND SMOOTH AND ITS SO CALMING😭❤️ tysm for making this🥺🥺🥺💖💖

a life of dullness and cruelty, the poor child suffered. her so-called parents had done nothing but stab her consciousness with their sharp venom-laced words, tearing her up and spitting her out. as she ran up to the top of the building without her adults' knowledge, she sits on the edge. nothing but the quiet humming of the fan near her seat, she enjoyed the soft breeze that she would never feel ever again. or so she thought, as she stood up and removed her shoes, a voice reached out. "don't go." it said, "please", its voice was as soft as marshmallows and as warm as the fireplace on a cold december . her feet itched to jump, but as she tried, her heart couldn't. it yearned for love because it knew that the world isn't as dark as the girl thought. before she could shake her heart off, "please, you'll regret it." and so, she hid the scars on her wrist, put her shoes back on, and came back down. she knew the world is cruel now, but it's up to her to make it a better place. and she will.

A girl only 15 years old, live a life of full of friends and everyone thinks she has the best life. What they don't know is everyday she returns to an empty house, cold and alone. Every full moon the girl wakes up at midnight and climbs the roof, and those times on the roof are the best times of her life. She has always felt lonely and empty, and so she goes to the roof for the last time. She looks to the moon and smiles finally feeling free and content. She falls backwards, feeling the exileration of the wind at her back with her gaze to the sky. Leaving behind the cold mansion and fake smiles. As the nears the ground she can only utter two words... "thank you"

my man yangyang in the thumb and this masterpiece of a song is the best combination ever

hits different at 1:51 am on christmas when you have nothing but bad memories associated with the holiday and you’re thinking about how things would be if you were gone and how close you’ve come before and wondering why you stopped yourself and sobbing all the while

I'm listening to this with headphones (not earbuds), and let me tell you guys, my ears are literally vibrating. Listening to this super loud is definitely recommended!

I can't even explain how this makes me feel. It's unreal

This song sounds like how a sunrise looks. edit: i should probably add i have something kinda like synesthesia with certain things and this song happened to look like a sunrise. the vibe of this song does not fit that at all.

This version of the song’s vibe is like: “Achilles grieving Patroclus death and then smiling when the arrow strike him down”

Listening to this while studying for my Latin exam✨

5:30 Saving this for myself but the "you want the acclaim" part starts here with the two voices fighting

listening to this while reading "the song of achilles" (madeline miller) ... it is an experience. it adds on to the pain that the book itself gives.

Bro I love how this song just blew up

His voice went really deep and I got chillssss

I’ve been trying to find a slowed and reverb version of Achilles come down for so long, thank you for making this 💕

i need a 1 hour version right now

I really have weird beautiful feelings when i listen to this song, i don't know how to describe it so imma cry

I imagine this happening after Achilles jumps and he's sitting in Hades remembering his lover begging him to get off the roof, waiting to see if he get into Elysium or if he gets punished.

I don't know why, buy this is making me feel comforted. Like it just gives me reassurance and almost feels like the song wraps me up in a hug

No one: me clicking this video because of yangyang Me:starts levitating once the music plays🥺

BRO ITS AMAZING I LOVE IT THE AESTHETIC IS ON POINTTTT🥺🥺💕💕🌼💕🌼

Achilles , Achilles Achilles come down, won't you Get up off , get up off the roof? You're scaring us , and all of us Some of us love you Achilles, it's not much but there's proof You crazy-assed cosmonaut Remember your virtue Redemption lies plainly in truth Just humour us , Achilles Achilles come down Won't you get up off Get up off the roof Achilles , Achilles Achilles come down, won't you Get up off , get up off the roof? The self is not so weightless Nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go , I'm going So jump and I'm jumping Since there is no me without you Soldier on , Achilles Achilles come down Won't you get up off Get up off the roof? Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive Today of all days , see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Achilles , Achilles Achilles , jump now You are absent of cause Or excuse So self-indulgent And self-referential No audience could ever want you You crave the applause Yet hate the attention Then miss it, your act is a ruse It is empty, Achilles So end it all now It's a pointless resistance For you Achilles , Achilles Just put down the bottle Don't listen to what you've consumed It's chaos, confusion And wholly unworthy Of feeding and it's wholly untrue You may feel no purpose Nor a point for existing It's all just conjecture and gloom And there may not be meaning So find one and seize it Do not waste your self on this roof Hear those bells ring deep in the soul Chiming away for a moment Feel your breath course frankly below See life as a worthy opponent Today of all days , see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it's more courageous to overcome You want the acclaim The mother of mothers (it's not worth it Achilles) More poignant than fame Or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles) But be real and just jump You dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles) You will not be more Than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat) You want my opinion (no one asked your opinion) My opinion you've got You asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts) I gave you my thoughts Be done with this now And jump off the roof (and get off the roof) Can you hear me Achilles? I'm talking to you I'm talking to you . I'm talking to you I'm talking to you Achilles come down Achilles come down Throw yourself into the unknown With pace and a fury defiant Clothe yourself in beauty untold And see life as a means to a triumph Today of all days , see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you'll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

pov : youre watching zeus ruin everything

Honestly thanks for this, the slowed down version of this song is exactly what I needed right now, been giving me life

oh, my lord, this song is giving me LIFE. it educes such strange feelings within me, but its not a bad thing. idk how to describe it.

me listening to this while reading the song of achilles ❤️😀

This song literally made me buy song of Achilles

i thought i was over this book but somehow i always end up back here

I didn’t think the song could get any better

when you really analyze this song- it’s crazy the way gang of youths puts the struggle of suicide and mental health problems into words is amazing

This song is everything.

Every time I listen to this I hear 'and jet off the roof' instead of 'get' and 'jump'

My POV: I’m standing on the roof, thinking about my life and how much it hurts to live but I think about all the people who love me but it quickly switches to all the bad things they’ve done and how easy it would be to just end it all. Which is better, people being happy with you living while you slowly die inside or for your loved ones to be sad when you’re finally happy for once? My friend is on the roof with me trying to talk me out of it, but is living in pain worth it? She tells me of all the good things as tears stream down my face. “The good things are only temporary,” I say to her, “After that, it’s only pain.” I close my eyes as I stand on the edge, feeling the bitter wind whispering jump. She says back to me, “please don’t do this!” But the wind screams yes and my mind says yes. She grabs my hand and holds it for a few minutes before I step down, collapsing in a heap of tears and pain. She holds me as we sit together on the roof not talking. A few moments pass as tears fall even harder and I say to her in a choked sob, "It hurts." She kisses the top of my head and says, "I know it does. I know"

“Name one hero who was happy” “You can’t”

this is my 20th time today alone listening to this version

This would be what I'd listen to calm me down, if anything traumatic ever happened, or just remembering something from my childhood. It's terrifying how comforting this song is, especially slowed

IDK WHAT THIS SONG IS BUT WHY IS YANGYANG THERE AHAAHHA

This song holds so much power I swear 🙌

how do I want to spend the last 8 minutes and 47 seconds of my life, you may ask

He was standing on the rooftop, on the top of the house. When his mind told him stop, he said no I will jump. His heart told him jump, he said no I will fly. In the end his mind won, and he came down to cry. But when his mind fell asleep, in the night in his sleep, His heart took control, and his heart wanted out. And so out his heart went, and out his soul went, and dead his mind went, who still thought it was asleep

A cold autumn night with the moon shining above, watching the young woman walking alone. No one ever came to these woods anymore, but she was never scared. Why should she be when she herself was the most frightening thing this night had to offer? She breathed deeply and let the crisp night air fill her lungs, rich with the scent of the fallen leaves that crunched underfoot. Feeling the chill bite at her skin as she lifted her head to look at the waning moon above, she felt perfectly at peace. If someone had told her five short years ago that she'd still be alive, much less happy, she would have agreed with no belief or faith behind it. A bright peel of her laughter fills the near silent night as she throws out her arms and spins, bathing in how the relief and peace she feels have combined into euphoria within her. How proud she is for surviving everything that tried to kill her, herself included. How long it took to heal, how shocked and relieved and at peace she was in realizing she was safe. After years of silent pain and tears and hurt, she was finally safe. How much joy and love she now feels everyday she's blessed to not just survive, but live. And how very doomed is anyone who dares try to take her happiness again.

Chills, I got chills.....

all of these are stories written about abuse or depression but this version makes me think of something else, it makes me think of a person descending into insanity but in the way its only ever written. its beautiful and hollow and peaceful. its how Oscar wilde wrote about death and how Scott Fitzgerald wrote about love. its the golden colour from the sun on a early summers morning, when you've not slept and the sun rises at 4am, you just sit and stare at it and you know that each time you drift further away from sanity but its how Icarus felt. as he flew closer and closer to the sun, feeling the wax melt and the wind in his ears, I do not believe he was afraid. i think he laughed and smiled because Icarus knew that even in death it was beautiful

Literally way to obsessed with this song I found it on a day I was suicidal and it helped I will never not be obsessed

I- omg I can't... This is immaculate

Okay but am I the only one who feels like it’s Patroclus singing this? Patroclus is theorized to be Achilles lovers. Honestly, knowing Greek mythology and historians’ dismissing that half of Ancient Greek was gay and pretty much everyone was bi, they were probably gay lovers.

What the actual flick This is absolutely amazing!

Plot twist : Corpse Husband cover this music

Oh my goodness this song makes you drift off until like a daydream that you never want to come out of

what a brilliant work of music.

I'm so mad I'm only discovering this song now. I love it so much!!

This heals me spiritually

This feels like being out at sea during a thunderstorm and the wave sweeps you under and you drown in a sea of sorrow

fuck i’ve never felt so emotional listening to a song ever

Something tells me listening to this several times a day isn’t good for my mental health, or at least isn’t helping it. Ima choose to ignore that something

I love the original but THIS VERSION HITS DIFFERENT. I think because of how jts slower it fits the song better. For sure makes it easier to sing

i feel like a fucking king listening to this

Is that YangYang from NCT in the thumbnail? 😂😂 love it, they’re incredible xx

This is such a beautiful song. It took me a few replays to like it but it's extremely good.

I've been searching for this! Tysm💕

The talked part at 2:37 is actually French, he says, "Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue, et j'en vois d'autres qui se font paradoxalement tuer pour les idées, les illusions qui leur donnent une raison de vivre. Ce qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir" Which translates to: "I see a lot of people die because they don't believe that life is worth living, and I see others who paradoxically get killed for the ideas, the illusions that gave them a reason to live. What we call a reason to live is also an excellent reason to die."

This song is just too good but the slowed & reverb version is a MASTERPIECE

I literally couldn't imagine anyone than "ACHILLES AND HIS PATROCLUS "

this song reminds me so much of the Storm and Silence series

I only have two things that I can think of at 5:29-6:32 . One is the Son and the Daughter talking to Anakin. Even though the Son represents the dark side of the force, he is trying to convince Ani of his worth to the Jedi and the light. He trying to convince him to stay with the light because he knows what will happen if he doesn't. And even though the Daughter represents the light side of the force, she however, is trying to convince him to the dark. She is trying to confuse him and make him believe Palpatine is right and that the Jedi don't believe in him. She also knows what will happen if he turns and she wants it. The Father is the one speaking in french, the french which (roughly) translates into "Memories of a lost homeland, or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between the man of his life". The Father is watching as his children try to convince Anakin aka, The Chosen One, to either stay and convert. All that he can do is give this little bit of information out as he watches and hopes for Anakin to take the right side. All, the Son, the Daughter, and the Father all know if he goes to the dark, the Mother will return. Sadly, the Daughter wins and he turns. The "I'm talking to you" At the end is Vader coming out to take over. Then I have this, Ahsoka, Padmé, and Obi-Wan are in the back of Anakin's mind, telling him to go back to before, be done with the sith and the dark side of the force, get off the roof of the dark side and go back. However, Palpatine is trying to silence these voices, making him stay to be his slave of the force. Luke is the french, who is also trying to convince him to return to the light. Return and accept the voices of the people he cared about the most. Anakin is the french as he is talking to Vader, also telling him to listen to his son and old loved ones. The 4 voices begin to blur, only Anakin and Luke's being what he can understand. He finally gives into 6 voices an get's rid of Palpatines and turns to the light. He died as one with the light, he died like he should have. He died with the last thing him seeing was his sons face. He was finally at peace, for the first time in 23 years. The final "I'm talking to you" is Padmé and Obi-Wan, finally seeing Anakin again, for the time in 23 years. Ahsoka is also the last "I'm talking to you" as she is finally feels a change in the force. She finally feels the presence of her old master again, before it soon goes away.

This is stunning!!!!!!
