Lorn - 'Diamond' 

Lorn is a master of the soundscape. He doesn't create songs he creates worlds. Too bad this song doesn't have more views because it's his best imo

I hope I can listen to Lorn when I'm dead.

This song means so much to me , i keep running away from my problems as if they will solve themselves , i hope in this little corner of the internet my story resonates with someone.😢

I totally forgot how dope Lorn is... holy mother of jesus...

I'm late to the Lorn party but one thing I've learned very quickly is that his fan base and the community he's built around his music is incredibly friendly and open minded.

Lorn's videos, i have noticed, are very ambiguous, open to several interpretations and all seem valid. This is art.

Even just that first super-low menacing bass hit at 0:30 gives me goosebumps. Feels like your brain is compressing.

I only just discovered lorn a few days ago,what a fantastic musician,i honesty have not heard anything quite like this before,really great work.

I love this so much. I am happy to know that some souls sound the same. Thank you for the community

Words cannot do justice to explain how beautiful Lorn's music is.

This song feels really massive to me. I think that's a really good way to describe it.

Lyrics: You stare every second So much building gone So, will I stay in these endless seconds Suspended on? I try hardest steel I try fresh stone But these nails won’t keep Just wanna build a home It’s the best advice Got to pave a road Lay that surface down

this song makes every hair on my arms stand on end and pulls tears from my eyes. Never have I heard such human emotion in an electronic track, and I've been making it myself for 20+ years.

Persistence is existence I shall prevail

Time is the biggest monster of all of us. Its always lingering right beside us. Devouring every moment that passes. Love, loss, life, death... It's all meaningless to times never ending onslaught. A diamond is a prime example of time. Carbon compressed for millions of years, creating a shiny little crystal which people prize and cherish. Where does its value come from? It looks pretty? Its rarity? The fact it took millions of years to form? All of the above? We as humans will never be around as long as diamonds, even though we are both made of carbon. We must constantly move forward, living in the moment, through obstacles of misfortune, never dwelling on the past, whilst hoping that we will live for a fraction of the life of a diamond.

To the Animators of this video (and "ghossts" video) ... Thank you! Amazing job.

Lorn is undoubtedly one of the best around right now and this track confirms it...

Lorn will forever hold a place in my heart this song gave me strength when I needed it most and I can’t even explain why but for some reason it’s just so powerful.

Every time I look at this video, I'm reminded about life and death... How death is never really far away from us, no matter what we do or what we find ourselves in, because in the end... death comes for us all and life begins anew for someone else to repeat this journey.

Some say he's still running to this day

Words cannot explain the sinking feeling I felt in my gut once I saw him back in the first room and realized the whole sequence was starting again.

My first Lorn experience.

This song made me feeling like I was running for my life, but I've never felt more alive. Only to die in the end. Music and video. I can't explain the way Lorn makes me feel. I may not understand, But I Do love it.

lorn is love, lorn is life

sends chills down my spine

Lorn is something special

I'm so glad i discovered this song years ago! That bass drop @ 0:30 has become my default bass test whenever I get new speakers/headphones. Absolutely earthshattering with the right setup

I don't really care why, but when I listen to Lorn songs I feel better.

0:15 You stay every second 0:21 So much paved in whole 0:28 So I will stay in these endless seconds 0:36 Suspended on 0:42 Much they are still at selfish dome 0:50 But these days I keep 0:53 Just wanna build a home 0:57 It's the best advice 1:00 Go to pave old road 1:04 That's of a stone // lyrics

Let's start 2022 right by listening to this 💕

So far I have not heard 1 bad Lorn song, he's talented.

11 years since this masterpiece, the world has changed so much since

I've just found this masterpiece in 2019.

this song back in the day helped me get pass through a really hardtime in my life, thanks Lorn ♥

I've seen this video plenty of times, looking for my own interpretation. Today watched it out of the blue and something finally hit me. To me, this running man, or whom ever it.. is us. All of, or any of us that are constantly trying to deal with life's stresses, traumas, and pain. The black is the breakdown, the point where we give up or give in to it all. So we keep pushing forward, running from our own insecurities or problems. Eventually it will catch up with us though, as it's probably not the best way to deal with our problems, and as we have a moment of clarity from the breakdown that eventually catches up with us, we hopefully learn, gain some enlightenment... if not, we're doomed to repeat the cycle again.

I went to bed and turned on Lorn’s a/d album, which is fairly light ambient music. I felt asleep very fast. And then I started seeing the worst nightmare in my life. In one moment I woke up in cold sweat and in my headphones i heard this track playing. RU-vid just decided to recommend it to me ))

For such a simple video, there's tons of meaning & depth!

Every once in a while, during my dangerous journeys through RU-vid, I'll stumble upon some kick ass artist like this!

It's taken me a while to come to this conclusion but this might be my favorite bit of Lornage. The visual, the aural, the implications... Yeah, this is it.

2:37 is when my heart melts

You stare every second So much building gone So, will I stay in these endless seconds Suspended on? I try hardest steel I try fresh stone But these nails won’t keep Just wanna build a home It’s the best advice Got to pave a road Lay that surface down

Whoever made this video is a god. Love it. Fits the music perfectly.

Jesus, this one's still a real banger. I like to listen to extreme metal but this is extreme on another level. It's like I feel veins or roots seeping into me connecting to my nerves and the sound just exponentiates as I get further into it. Little tendrils of feeling and perception creeping into me as I get crushed by the pressure of it. It's awesome. This music is beautiful and I can't find the words to accurately describe what I mean by that.

Takes me back to my dad playing this in the car driving around New Zealand ❤️

Personally, I believe the cat represents companionship. That we're not completely alone in the world falling apart around us.

That bass is Powerful

Lorn's tracks are great at getting you to recall memories and escape reality at the same time.

I remember discovering Lorn when I was 13 or 14, His music stuck with me and still is amazing to this day. Beautiful, this is art.

It's me, running away from deadline

It is so hard for me to put a finger on Lorn's music. If I was forced to choose a description, it would be like creating a video game starting with only the music

This song makes me feel like I should live another day

Lorn suddenly shows in my recommendations, and I am not disappointed ❤

that unbelieavably beautiful comeback at 4:38 is legendary

The song and the video... Just amazing.

There are no words to describe what it transmits.

The simplicity and complexity in this work is beyong words.

I keep coming back to this song. Never fails to amaze me. Lorn is so underrated

beautiful video. sat here hypnotized in a trance through the whole thing

i love this video! to me this video represents someone facing a long dark troubled road completely lost and right when death is at hand he wakes up and realizes his past and over comes and rises to his greatest accomplishment and begins to live life to the fullest

Lorn's music is like it takes you to the dark side of the world just so you can observe how it functions without getting infected to it.

The reoccurring thought I have when I watch this vid is. "What ever darkness may bring, keep on marchin."

It’s like every time I keep coming back to lorn, every trip is better with lorn...

For the first time. I cried....in a long time.

I too got goosebumps towards the end and climax. There is intensity behind the cute animation. Brilliant video for this song. Absolutely chilling, dramatic, and beautiful. Bravo Lorn.

Remember when people thought everyone was going to die in 2012?

The first time I heard this it made me so uneasy and I felt the urge to look over my shoulder like I was being watched. Music that can do that is powerful.

Video of the decade.

Can you imagine actually playing a video game like this? Steps form and a slap is heard. A dark abyss chases you and the music makes you have this anxiety filled dread. Sounds amazing!!!

Greatest music video ever. I get chills every time.

For some reason I keep coming to this artist 11 years later.

2012. Jesus. Dude was WAY ahead of his time.

The Blob that ate everything, he kept running until the world was swallowed whole. At the end he would look back and not see a blob of blackness chasing him, but death.

one of the bests Short Movies i ever watched!!!!

This video honestly made me want to cry. This man's music and the visuals tap into something extremely deep. Damn

my interpretation: Even death will chase the man who chases nothing.

I love this music video. It really captures the inevitability and futility of existence.

This little dude is my fucking hero though, no lie.

Just a masterpiece. This track kept me holding on when my granddad died.

Goosebumps everytime!

This is the best music video I've seen in a long time, everything about it is fantastic. Awesome

I don't know what this song is doing with me and why i get such strange feeling but i just receive and accept what the universe is giving me. truly amazing

Epic. I love how social media opens doors to artists that are new to me.

This is the type of music I like to go sleep to. I hope I have the weirdest and most vivid nightmare.

This is bloody fantastic

Can we all just take a moment to recognize that death rode a unicorn to work? BLOODY LEGEND.

3:04 that silence just seems to last forever.

I'm glad that my brother showed me this video. I don't know how to describe how this music makes me feel. Thank you

This is amazingly dark. Love it.

The cat appears 9 times before the child(?) falls into the void. Coincidence?

the breath in right before the drop was a really nice touch

the noisy synths and deep bass makes this song truly unique ive never heard anything quite like this and i love it

My girlfriend just declared this to be the song that shall play on her funeral.

death is never alive for long, for when he is dead he is truly living.

It's always out to get us, just right behind you gaining ground. That black mass though 😱

Sitting here, RU-vid's goin with its algorithm, a few Lorn tracks pop up. Never listened to this before......I think I'm a fan of Lorn.

Powerful.

This band is everything I didn't know I needed. The videos all make me think and give me chills.

What this video shows is that the boy, once he died, revived to live the same life once again.

Art makes ordinary people open up to the wonders of life. If the music weren't enough, the comments on this video make it clear that this is art.

Я пережил каждую ноту. Спасибо.
