as a Communications nerd, I did spend what felt like 5 minutes but was actually an hour looping this song over and over again, thinking about how the lyrics and PV would of turned out if GHOST didn't discontinue Communications and how it would fit in with the story, so here's what i've got: the song starts from Steph's perspective, right as the hijacking started, (she wasn't 100% affected by COLORBARS because she was deaf) with the kind of unnerving tone showing her current emotional state and the ramping up of the song showing her getting more and more nervous and the taking over of her intrusive thoughts. She then decides to pull an all nighter and, after 7 hours, the broadcast stops for a second which i think is displayed as the small stop at 3:00. After that the music "slowly" comes back as the body of Kennith is shown on screen. The rest is history. For the lyrics i think it's mostly from Steph's perspective but when the melody starts sounding like the one in colorbars i think Kennith takes over with lyrics that may or may not reference colorbars/ broadcast illusion in some way. The PV i think would mostly show the two main characters but, like in broadcast illusion, i think Evelyn _HAS_ to make and appearance somehow because he's the one responsible for, basically the entire idea of a hijacking a national TV channel Sorry if this didn't make sense to you, after all English is not my first language and i am terrible at explaining stuff
(Verse 1: Steph) In the depths of the night, a silent invasion A digital hijacking, a twisted sensation The screen flickers, the signal's astray An eerie melody, it won't fade away (Chorus) Digital takeover, a glitch in the code My mind's under siege, my sanity eroded The music's my prison, the rhythm's my guide A hypnotic descent, I'm losing my stride (Verse 2: Steph) The hours blur, time loses its hold My sanity slips, my grip turns cold The repetitive tune, it echoes in my head A haunting refrain, a nightmare I dread Bridge: Kennith) I'm the one in control the puppet master Listen here, now Your mind is my stage, your thoughts I'll plaster The broadcast illusion, my twisted creation (For you to see, for you to see) A world of my own, your mind's my donation. (To see you) (Chorus) Digital takeover, a glitch in the code My mind's under siege, my sanity eroded The music's my prison, the rhythm's my guide A hypnotic descent, I'm losing my stride Outro: Steph) The darkness consumes, the light fades away A broken melody, my final dismay Sign off intrusion, a never-ending loop My mind trapped in a void, a digital tomb. (Edit it possibly?)
POV: Stephanie being deaf can't hear her voice singing, but she can internally hear her fear, confusion and frustration at seeing Kennith's broadcast and that's why we don't hear her singing but we can hear the music... Idk I like to think that ^^ (not me punching the air cause Communications was cancelled)
Ngl, I love this instrumental. It gives off Colorbars vibes while it still becomes a sequel for Stephanie. Just wish I knew who Ghost was before they cancelled communications because I started becoming a fan of them after End-World Normopathy released. :,) I hope Ghost recycles this instrumental tbh.
This song works. I am indeed hypnotised. The fact that its a slower tempo than Ghost's songs usually, has creepypasta-like parts and over all sounds amazing. I wish I could listen to lyrics
Dude, I legit don't remember Ghost posting this back in the day- I'm guessing this was meant to be part of Communications p2, as the sequel to Colorbars?
SOMEONE. ANYONE. MAKE LYRICS THAT FIT WITH THE SONG AND MAKE BOTH OF THEM SING. I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR LIKE A MINUTE SAYING LIKE “when will they start singing” I NEED ITTTT EDIT: I VOLUNTEER TO MAKE THE MV FOR IT. PLEASE.....
If only I had any vocaloid programs I would gladly do it 😭 I tried to improvise on the lyrics recently and try to rewrite the story and the missing gaps tho it still would be cool to have the full song done
does anyone know if this was made pre or post broadcast illusion? since it references colorbars and broadcast illusion is considered the "canon" one of the two
It's a song series made by GHOST, the series got cancelled. You can search it up on Google, the name of the series is Communications, this two characters in the song are Kennith and Stephanie
@D3ath_Th4W0lf ghost cancelled it due the whole story being overall very messy, and because of the pressure they felt while making it due to people keeping to ask for more parts of it to be released
“This message has been initiated by national alert and warning authorities, in coordination with emergency alert system participants, including broadcasts, cable, satellites (?), and wire line(??) participants in your area.” sorry it’s not all there, i couldn’t make out what he said after “cable” small edit: i think after cable, he says "satellites"
I think there is a fan version, but this one was official and deleted. Could be wrong though. For ages I saw Stephanie referred to in memes about ghost and pals and didn't understand at all lol
