Lorn - 'Diamond' 

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

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

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'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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

My first Lorn experience.

Some say he's still running to this day

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

lorn is love, lorn is life

Persistence is existence I shall prevail

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

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

Lorn is something special

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.

sends chills down my spine

Let's start 2022 right by listening to this 💕

I've just found this masterpiece in 2019.

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.

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.

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 ))

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

That bass is Powerful

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.

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

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

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.

This is bloody fantastic

2:37 is when my heart melts

The song and the video... Just amazing.

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.

So, after watching, and rewatching, and rewatching this video numerous times, I feel like I might have a personal idea of what this video could mean. So, of course, we begin with the young boy (assuming he's a child for the sake of my argument, and his cat. At first, he seems to just be doing his thing, and his cat walks along with him. Later on, the boy walks past a mirror (thing...or whatever), and the cat disappears *into* the mirror, and that's when the dino-run destruction apocalyptic thing starts to wane in on his life, followed by more and more dark things and cats appearing, as well as a unicorn and presumably the grim reaper. My personal take on this is that the kid had a pet cat, and he was a naive, happy child until tragedy struck. The cat died somehow, and then the weight of inevitability and death began to settle on his shoulders. As he ignores his grief, he goes through life becoming hypersensitive to *noticing* tragedies, but apathetic to feeling any regard for them. However, he can't always run from the feeling, as the costant reminder of what started this (the constant phantom cats), as it appears in life at different stages. The unicorn, i also feel, stands for the ghost of what was once his childhood after the music becomes dramatic, and then the constant appearance of the grimm reaper is just showing how life is catching up, and so is death. The fall could be either an existential crisis (and the rebirth could later be his child/next generation), or the boy dying and going through regret at life and realizing that it's over, and the train will arrive at its destination, and he's unable to stop it (and personally, i find this option better because that would also fit in with acid rain where the message seems similar, though its more of the fight against death and then accepting that she's dead, and that her life won't be fulfilled)

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

This song makes me feel like I should live another day

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

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

Goosebumps everytime!

There are no words to describe what it transmits.

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

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

This is amazingly dark. Love it.

that unbelieavably beautiful comeback at 4:38 is legendary

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

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

The simplicity and complexity in this work is beyong words.

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

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.

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

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

It's me, running away from deadline

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

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

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

notice the breath sound 3:11

Video of the decade.

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

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

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

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.

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

Powerful.

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

i have to admit, i really enjoyed this video. fit the song perfectly.

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

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

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.

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

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

This video is amazing.

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

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

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

Lorn always have the best videos

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

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

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

Я пережил каждую ноту. Спасибо.
