"Lorn - Entangled" from The Maze To Nowhere Part 2 Available at lorn.bandcamp.com/music Video excerpt from "Beyond the Black Rainbow" (2010) directed by Panos Cosmatos
This particular piece reminds of the struggle to remain sane in a world of pure absurdity and hypocrisy. The fight to protect yourself in a system bent on breaking you.
Being alive its a miracle, we must be thankful for that really, make the of your life, pal. Put be thanksful for who put you alive in this world, for who wanted you to live well and with love.
Lorn puts me right between the emotions I want gone, and the ones I want amplified. His music melts away my depression, but forces memories out that I wasn’t aware I had. He fucks with me, and I love it!
you couldn't describe it better Jasmine.i feel exactly the same thing. and i feel the same about all Lorn's songs.they are dark but is a lovely fascinating dark you know
Amazing how a piece of music can be so beautifully bleak and literally soul crushing then express the most euphoric happiness and fill your mind with hope... Maybe that's just me though i listen to this high as fuck and i literally feel every note course through my body.
this is from a interview with Lorn LORN: I grew up surrounded by alcohol and drug addiction, no father, tossed around between family members. I was taught I was a piece of shit by racists in Arkansas. My older brother cut my middle finger off with an ice skate, beat the shit out of me, and later threatened to shoot me in the head with his Glock. I moved around a lot, went to three different schools, always restarting as a stranger. I learned to hate cops fast, spent a year on probation after being arrested for graffiti. Sucked at school, could never and still can never concentrate too well, nearly failed high school had it not been for some art awards I won. At 19 I was institutionalized against my will, met people who hadn’t been outside for 15 years because they weren’t allowed.. met the same people for the first time again and again every morning who forgot everything because of their shock treatments.. eventually got myself out. After that shit I quit school, took acid as I mentioned earlier and put everything I had left on the line into music and here we are.
I've been listening to this nonstop for two oder three days now. I did know about lorn and his music for a while now and looove his music but this sticks to me differently. When I'm home alone, everything is quiet and only the song is playing I feel like I'm in a void. Like this, everything around me is in fact not there, fake, an illusion. It's crazy what his music makes me feel
I find a Lorn video and I say "this is so good, it's my favorite", then I find another and the same happens. They're something else, they really have something to express. True art.
Even when we are the most trapped and with feelings of hopelessness, we still are able to access that part of mind that allows us to see light and dark. If it were not of this case I dont think us as humans would ever feel anything. This is probably the most beautiful thing Ive ever heard.
Theres waaaaaaay more than one person has time to take in. Shame, that. Youve heard all the notes millions of times yet new compositions seem to be whole new experiences. Like an epic journey of sound.
This song makes me feel like I'm turning my entire body into a flower that opens only at night and spread life all over the devastated/futuristic world in ruins and is only a big sand landscape. And I'm the life, and I'm the new beginning of everything.
They' defined they're own genre that only one artist fits in, Lorn. Thats how unique they/he/she are/is. The music makes me speechless. No words please, all ears.
4:41 I always listen to Lorn when on withdrawals. The feeling is indescribable but has something wonderful in this darkness. Am I the only one who feel this?
All those feelings good and bad so noisy they vibrate through your body and mind there is something about the clarity and confusion of a withdrawl, you been out there or in there blocking whatever it is you want to block & not deal with but here it comes your shield is gone and you are going to feel it all
I connect with this...if I ever had the skills Lorn has (which will probably never happen) I wish to express my similar views on how I see reality and life as is using different forms of art. Both visually and audibly, so that people will at least better understand why I am the way I am...
Fox1190 Essentially...that’s the same thing as what I said before. Reality as we know it is determined from our own eyes, and at that, it’s really up to your own interpretation what that _actually_ means to you. That’s what makes each one of us unique from the rest. That’s what separates us from mindless clones to conscious thinkers. It is perfectly normal to ask questions about this, as we are programmed in a way that we need to find the answer to everything. When you look at reality you inevitably question it. Because “reality” per say is merely ones existence in the world, and it goes by quite easily unnoticed because it’s all we’ve ever known. But when you really home in on it, there’s never an easy answer. For me, at least...because one question always seems to lead to another. If this sounds at all confusing, I understand. It’s not something you can put into words easily. That’s why I wish to express this “perception of reality” into different forms of art so that people _will_ understand me. That’s what I meant from my first comment you see...
Fox1190 Ahh, so you’re a student too. As am I - I feel your pain in that respect. In fact, I kinda blame my love for writing as a result from my lengthy career as a student, so first off; thank you for appreciating what I say (not many do you see). I probably could have made what I said a little more clear, but it’s kinda difficult when there really _is_ no clear answer to what reality actually is, because like I said it’s all down to ones own perspective. How I perceive reality will be different to how you, your friends, anyone else reading perceives it. Maybe similar and we can generalize as such, but no two viewpoints will be the same really. Listening to music as such almost always influences such questions. Lorn has some brilliant music for losing yourself in your own imagination, which is a great form of meditation. Definitely helps you to regain a grip of reality, as this can be so easily lost without you even realizing...I also suggest listening to Tourist, Washed Out, and Chrome Sparks for more of this kinda stuff... P.S. yeah, actually, I did realize what you said sounded a little disordered. But I didn’t think much of it till you mentioned that numbering system. That’s very interesting... Oh, and you don’t simply “quit” being an artist, believe me. For a true artist, it’s a state of mind. Maybe quit expressing it, but you’ll always hold the same mindset. I thought the same for a while when I took a leave from writing short stories, but I found my passion for writing stories as such kinda transfused itself into writing essays for my studies. Being an artist is a natural talent, it’s not something that you leave behind, its something that makes you you. Good luck for the future my friend, and definitely keep meditating every once and a while. Does wonders for your mental health, believe me...
Fox1190 By definition, yes. If that definition solely means “a fan of anthropomorphic characters”, because the internet has definitely poisoned what it means to be part of the fandom. Hmm I wonder how you figured that one out...lol...but yeah, I was gonna ask the same thing when you posted the paws emoji in your last comment. That definitely raised my suspicions haha. I’ll admit that I _did_ believe I was otherkin for a while (this was years ago when I was a young dumb teen) until I realized how unrealistic and utterly absurd it was to even consider myself as such...although I still wouldn’t regard myself as entirely human, not by comparison anyways. I cease to think of otherkin/therian ideologies as nothing more than nonsense to make you feel special and unique (which in hindsight is all it really was for me). I do believe in spirits and good/bad energy, but they can’t carry an identity like which species they’re from, nor can you pick and choose - that’s just stupid to me. But if you believe otherwise, roll with it, because what I say shouldn’t matter y’know. Nice to see another one of us in the comments though :)
J'adore toujours. Lorn, exceptionnel. Je passe pour un cinglé parfois. Mais, pour d'autres, je leur révèle une nouveauté : ils ont l'oreille adéquate...ça fait plaisir... et merci, belle compo, comme à chaque fois, "LORN", ps: jai un souvenir mémorable où ma fille à dansé sur Acid Rain, c'était juste magique... merci
I think lorn has some classical musical training because theres alot of electronic noises online thesedays which arent musical. This has both, fascinating electronic soundscapes,beats and musical tone
Michael musicians generally have a grasp of melodic and harmonic structure. What gets me about this stuff is that it just has so much feel. Pure vibes man.
I asked him when you were able to message him directly via fb. He doesn't apparently. All by ear. Probably makes him even more remarkable. Natural instinctive genius.
Being musically illiterate doesn’t make you musically inept, just means you don’t know why things work, you just know that they do and that in its own right is impressive. I’m a pretentious twat at times so just keep scrolling.
@@viniciusseth5025 you're right tho, you don't need to be able to read sheet music or know how to write a rondo to be able to make good *sounding* electronic music or use a synthesizer, synthesis is mostly separate from music theory.
i like songs that show the ups and downs of the human mind..that show our selfishness our somber thoughts our attraction too our lost time..our existance is dim and fleeting..some times i i wonder if they is even a point in seeking meaning
Ложусь, вставляю наушники и погружаюсь во что-то неизведанное и мрачное. Классная музыка и ее создатель, Lorn (рад, что встретился с его творчеством). Даже больше, чем просто музыка, потому что вызывает столь многообразные чувства и мысли...
crazy how fate has brought me to discover this song in an auto generated playlist based on random music I’ve been listening to lately... beautiful song
Fuck yeah best part by far, I actually can't stand the 2:48 part like everyone else seems to like. Everything before that is just amazing, that dissonant, dark sound. Fuckin amazing.
suffocating and i touch my mouth. nothing blocks my airway but im choking anyway. i can't talk or move or even whisper for help. im cold, like nothing drapes this sick form in warm cloth. lately it's like i've never been able to get warm. across a blur of pixels, my eyes are glass, darting over the screen, searching for a way out of this electronic penitentiary. light passes through me entirely and refraction disrupts it's origin. everything is rushing as if i have great momentum, and it's like this unstoppable movement is what paralyzes my chest. im rushing forward at the speed of light, and my chest can't rush ahead of me. time slows behind me and in front of me and becomes an infinite spiral, a wrap of maddening fabric around my sullen bones. i define life, but life evolves beyond my definitions. a cosmic bleakness exists always in my hierarchy of being.
When i listen to this song, i keep imagining some clean neat area full of light. An area all grey with a truck. Im just standing there taking it all in. I feel formless like im not being held down by my fragile flesh body bag. Its beautiful.
im just discovering this guys, band (idk, going to research for sure), and i cant believe music can be taken to this level. This is beyond amazing for me. Thanks for the udpload.
then he hit repeat and new life was born Cause this bro was watching himself some 3D Porn. as he was hyming roses are red Fell asleep watching porn When when he woke up He was listening to and watching lorn.
wow 2:45 and onward is the best sound I've heard ever. its so ambient that its hard to get it stuck in your head, so it makes you crave hearing it again.
even the term "the third eye" is enough to show and indicate how unaware and limited people are. they might say they know just to feel included this energy will always be undefined to them. doesn't matter if they want to know or feel, they wont know. i dont think im privileged in any way. if you understand, so be it. if you dont, so be it.
Even if I don't ever make it out of this depression, at least I'll die knowing I had real thoughts and concerns. Why would I want to feel like I belong in a world so concerned with materialism and self-image anyway?
So few of us percieve reality different than the majority who focus on self image, self preservation, and materialism. We do not belong in their reality and that is fact. But maybe we exist because maybe some day reality would change for the better, Humans may some day move towards other things
You should really look into Buddhism and such. Therereally is a beautiful light man i swear ! No religion needed, no assumptions or irrational beliefs needed, you can find the beauty of this universe just look inside you all e answers you need are there ! And i can'tlie, LSD really helps open up that infinite realm of creativity and if you are having trouble reacting it naturally. Even though LSD is nature too haha
I listen to and watch lorn music when I’m tripping on acid and it’s the most amazing, curious, beautiful, scary feeling I’ve ever had. Talk about a 6th sense.
last i recall, in an interview where someone asked him if his songs were a byproduct of him imagining some sort of dark imagery while making them, Lorn just casually replied "uh, no? i do acid."
@@meowchie310 LSD could not touch what this is, The Sound from The Void, The Mind that Created it pierced into the beyond, Imprinted into music a rare state of mind, it's why the hairs at the back of your neck stand up when you hear it.
I just love your videos MetaCitizen and I have found so many good movies through you! Absolutely loved Beyond the Black Rainbow! Keep up the brilliant work!
People impressed by Lorn's production should check out the Killzone 4 behind the scenes for the music. He goes into a bit of detail on how he gets such raw sounding samples.
Lorn is like this omnipresent, viscous, gummy reminder of death. She enshrouds you with acid web so you can see nothing, but always feel her oppressive presence. Web is in the middle of nothing - only abyss devouring your lifetime.
