CHVRCHES - Death Stranding (Lyric Video) 

I'm playing Death Stranding with a constant thought in my mind: What can I do to help another person?, to have that in my mind whenever I'm playing this game is just Beautiful. Thank you Kojima Sensei.

"Being a father didn't make me scared. It made me brave."

I’ve just got home from work, sitting in the darkness of my car, the rainfall pattering on the windscreen in front of me and echoing off of the rooftop, listening to this and crying my eyes out. I lost someone dear to me recently and I feel so lost despite having a good job, a mortgage, good friends and family. I feel happy to have know her, but sad to have lost her. This is a beautiful song.

Just finished the game last night with my boyfriend. The game was just incredible from beginning to end. The music was heaven-sent, the writing and acting was out of this world, and the game looks spectacular. I will miss everybody: Sam, Lou, Fragile, Mama, Lockne, Deadman, Cliff, Heartman, Die-Hardman, and even Higgs. Thank you Kojima!

This song evokes an undescribable feeling for me. Anybody else?

I remember discovering this group from Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst. Glad to see more big game titles are asking CHVRCHES to make sound tracks.

This song be hitting different when the credits roll.

Just finished Death Stranding tonight. Wasn't ready for the emotional rollercoaster that was awaiting me. This game is a piece of art. A Masterpiece.

CHVRCHES x Hideo Kojima simply the best collab ever

I don't care about what people say about this game, it was innovative, hopeful and refreshing. Was it slow and grinding, intimidating? Yes. But that's also what life is like, and ultimately, this is what the game is about.

The moment when you finish this incredible game and listen to this song will never be forgotten, just watching a black screen with so many inexpressible mixed feelings. The most unique trip ever, and it will always be a close game to my heart, thank you Kojima, this is my GOTY.

This is song is more important now than it ever has been before. Least we can say that we tried.

Everyone who suggest that Death Stranding would be better as a movie hasn't understood how it's using gameplay to tell a story. Some spoilers incoming: The gameplay loop consists of 2 main parts of which people that rushed through the game (aka most reviewers and let's players) mostly interacted with the first part: The struggle. Everytime you progress though an unexplored path of America you are on your own. You have to find your own path withstand the obstacles and the forces of nature to connect this part of land to the network, unlocking footpaths where other Sams walked have before and structures that make traversing the world easier. The second part of the gameplay loop is to contribute to this infrastructure which not only helps you, but might help someone else as well. This is where a lot of the reward comes from in the game. Building an efficient zipline network through an area where you once had to struggle to get through is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had in a game. And this is what in my opinion Death Stranding does better than most other games, where gameplay and story often seem like they are two seperate and mostly unrelated elements. Death Stranding tells it's story through both, cutsenes and the interactive gameplay of all the players. It shows that if we pull our own weight and work towards a common goal we can overcome great challenges. It isn't idealistic about the whole connection theme by suggesting that it's gonna be easy. Quite the contrary. It's gonna be hard, and some part of the society might not be pulling in the same direction (there's always gonna be people blocking paths, or misleading people) but if we focus on self-improvement, we indirectly make society stronger. If you play the game long enough you'll notice that there is a 3rd part of the gameplay loop: Just because you and others worked hard to build the land up doesn't mean it's gonna last forever. Without maintanance the infrastructure (and society) will start eroding. This means we can't rest on our laurels once we think we've accomplished something. If we do for too long everything we've built up will fall apart. The important part is that maintanance requires less effort, but it still requires some effort and recources. If we decide to let it fall apart we'll have to start from scratch. It's impossible to maintain everything, so we have to choose which parts we're gonna keep and which parts we don't need anymore as our outlook and our objectives in this world change. Tomorrow is in OUR hands.

Death Stranding made me love three things. 1. Mads Mikkelsen 2. Indie Pop 3. Monster Energy Drinks

Finished DS today, right today, so many years after the release. And here I am. A cinematic masterpiece, no doubt. Lots of grinding, lots of helping others, lots of mixed emotions on the gameplay. But overall I can say that Kojima sensei operates on another level, will get DS2 as soon as it's released.

I really like the porters connected list that shows all the players' IDs, feeling the connections with other players. Thank you strangers for your help.

This song makes me go through everything, if you are having a bad day just remember it's a bad day not a bad life.

The only problem I have with Chvrches is that their music is literally too beautiful for me to process. I feel like it is literally beyond existing and I just can’t, they are bullying humanity with how overwhelming this stuff is 😂😭

Bands like this deserve to win awards like the grammys .

I've been a fan of CHVRCHES way before Mirrors Edge and Death Stranding, but I cried in excitement when I found out that they were going to be doing a song in these amazing games.

"Our lives are not our own, from womb to tomb we are bound to others. With each crime, and every act of kindness, we birth our futures"

ill never be able to replicate the feeling i had when playing this game, I think i found the greatest game of my life.

I would just like to thank Hideo Kojima for introducing me to CHVRCHES. Been listening to their music non stop since the song first came out.

I've had this song on repeat since it came out, anyone else?!?

Maybe it's not perfect, not by a long shot but it's so refreshing to see someone try and make something new and ambitious. All the game companies like Activision and Bethesda make the same game year after year because they are too scared to deviate from their formula. All these people hating on the game because it doesnt instantly bottle feed their short attention span.

Just finished the story, wow, the most incredible game I've ever played, feels almost like a disservice to call it a game, it was epic

This made me cry when i finished the game

This is seriously the most epic song I have ever heard. I'm speechless and crying.

Still crying over this...

Not many soundtracks have crushed me after playing the game that they are representing... and yet this is defiently one of them... Beautiful.

This song feels like a goodbye. A perfect combination of hope and hopelessness. SO WHY DO I LOVE IT SO MUCH???

Seems like a song for the current day, if things go the worst they can. If so, it's a fabulous eulogy for the human soul.

1st time listening: Oh, this is nice. 50th time listening: YOU CAN TAKE MY HEEEAAART 🎵 Edit: 300 likes?! Thanks everyone! I hope you all have an awesome day!

This song is giving the same vibes as their the bones of what you believe in. I love it

Just finished the game today and holy shit. This game was phenomenal

"we begged and then we borrowed" That little sentence has such a powerful and hidden meaning behind it.

Just perfect, we should make this song the anthem of humanity

This will be sung at the end of COVID crisis

This is going to be the end credits song, calling it now. Hopefully it can get people searching up the name of the song and get CHVRCHES more recognition because they're truly an amazing band that deserve it.

Just finished the game and already missing you BB.

Didn't play the game but, jesus, what a beautiful soundtrack

BEST GAME OF THE DECADE

I hope the second game makes me feel as much as this one did

Every time I listen to this song, I can see Sam holding BB close to his chest. The rain has stopped, the sun starts to peek through the clouds and a rainbow slowly forms 🖤

I imagine this song will be played when Sam climb the endless stairs...

Came back to this game and this song because of the director´s cut, can´t describe how much i missed it, my comfort game whitout a doubt

Where boys cried: Titanic Where men cried:

When everything ends, let's listen to this together 🖐🖐🏿🖐🏻🖐🏼🖐🏽🖐🏾

When I heard this in the end credits, I immediately fell in love with this song.

Things i love of death stranding: -Norman reedus -Low roar - bb

Imagine walking down a big mountain towards a settlement in death stranding and this song starts playing while the camera slowly zoom out to cover the whole scenery. Just imagining this makes me wanna play the game

one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

Spotify told me today this track was the track that got me through - my most played track of 2020

most songs that played throughout the campaign are very slow and has that melancholic feel to it but this one is upbeat and feels "hopeful" it really caught me off guard during credit roll

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going!

Probably the best thing that happened this year so far that this game has been released on pc too. Fantastic game, beautiful soundtrack and this song is so cool as well. Thank you.

This song should be an anthem. I can't describe it. It gives me some kind of hope.

This song and her performance at the Game Awards at the time just kidnapped my soul, and I was happy for it! She is so good at singing, so good lyrics and the music..is just..MAGIC! I love ChVrches! She is alsovery,veery pretty(just a bonus)

This song hits differently after playing the game. When I heard it live at the game awards, I almost fell asleep, but after I played the game, it's emotional

CHVRCHES is such a great band and stuff like this makes em even cooler 😎 they ought to release a compilation of all the singles that didnt make it on the LPs

I absolutely love your songs from Death stranding and Mirror's edge catalyst.It's pure art.Insanely beautiful,toucheable & actually meaningful

Yeah when this song played after the end after all you played through, just amazing

I didn't skip the end credits. It says a lot for me. Then I recorded them using the Share button. Then I watched them again. And again.

Not only is death stranding amazing, but the soundtrack slaps so hard...

this song always evokes some sort of undescribable feeling to me

I am a 14 year old writer and just a month ago, I finished writing my very first book. This song was such an important inspiration to my series, and it always get me so emotional and happy to listen to it, so thank you for that

I haven't even touched the game yet but I'm already super emotional, it's been such a journey from the very first teaser trailer at E3 2016 to tomorrow when the game is released. Hearing this song with the visuals makes me choke up even though I've had no part in the making of the game. I still think it's amazing that a band I really like collaborated with Death Stranding

I'm so glad they're gettin the recognition they deserve, fell in love with this band since their first EP and even then i knew that they will become big someday. LOVE U CHVRCHES

Just finished death stranding, amazing..

It's insane this game was made before COVID hit us.

This is why CHVRCHES will always be one of my favourite bands 💖 So glad Kojima asked them to produce a song for his wonderful game. They deserve so much more recognition!

This song really fits the quarentine.

Hearing this song each night makes me remember of each and every one of the mistakes I've made and fuels my desire to end it all. Despite everything, I find at least a tinsy of hope. This is truly one of my favorite songs, and I just feel so hard each one of every chorus I wish I was in space right now, or in a calm place where I could see the stars

0:00 this video is amazing

bring on the death stranding 2 :D

Chvrches is in it? Looks like I'm buying a ps4

最高にいいやん！めっちゃ好き！新曲待ってました！！

DEATH STRANDING IS ABSOLUTELY ❤

replay x50... this song is so fucking incredible

I get the feeling that it's the end of love, and soon no one will ever love each other again. But I'm so desperate for connection, that before love dies completely I want to completely surrender to someone just so that love continues a little longer. If everyone does this, can love continue a little longer? Or are we still doomed? In other words, CHVRCHES nails the intended theme of the game. There's a reason Kojima cried when he listened to this. It perfectly exemplifies what he's going for with Death Stranding. I had almost no interest in the game before listening to this, but now I've been hooked.

I think this is my favourite song now

Bring me the Horizon and Chvrches wrote a song for Kojima

This actually made Kojima cry.

I’m still listening to this in 2058 😎

Love these lyrics. Never noticed them when I heard them at the game awards. A lyric video is powerful when the lyrics are worthy.

Like the game, this song now feels super relevant.

Anyone else wish they could erase this game from their memory so we could play it again fresh just to feel the epic emotions when the credits roll?

He... The captain saved my life. You know why they called me Die-Hardman? Because he wouldn’t let me die. He brought my sorry ass back home every time. And I loved him As much as I loved her. And when he stared me down, that ghost, I knew. He was here to kill me. To make it right. And why shouldn’t he? Why didn’t he? He couldn’t save his kid. His BB. And that’s what brought him back. I guess, when he saw I was trying to do my part for America, He remembered who he was... ...and he forgave me. God! But I don’t deserve it, goddammit! There is no atoning for what I’ve done! Damn! God! But maybe... ...maybe this is the next best thing. Maybe he brought me back from the beach for a reason... ...one last time. He wanted me to do this. To keep on being Die-Hardman

everybody gangsta till the rain makes you older

Im trained to cry each time i hear this song.

I'm gonna cry when I eventually hear this at the end.

Who else heard this song while crying at the end credits of Death Stranding?

Holy hell this song is a metaphor for the game listen to lyrics. "Let's make a toast to the damned, waiting for tomorrow" refers to the timeline where Mads Mikkelson's character is still alive and humanity is facing some world ending calamity. "Let's draw a line in the sand, we had it all in our hands" refers to sam and emily's relationship and how even though sam doesn't feel love anymore he is hopeful. The chorus refers to the connections humanity has to make, and how at the end we all need someone.

You knocked this video out of the park. The music and video editing are just sheer beauty in the platonic ideal sense. Thank you so much for making this.

This music hits so hard on me that made me think about of what we are doing here and what is our propose to this shitty world that me live.

Coming to this song, in this trying times. We are in a way living this game. Isolated in our homes (most of the time), people working in delivery service becoming like Bridges.

This song was my introduction to CHVRCHES. Since hearing it, I've downloaded every single track and remix they've ever released. I dare say there is not a single skipper in the entire lot of songs. I'm very pleased to have a new favorite band at the moment! I was not planning on buying this game because it just looks like a very boring game, but this single audio track has swayed me into considering the game now. I mean, how can a game be all that bad when it has THIS music in it (not to mention several other great tracks from unknown artists). Thank you Kojima!
