Did u fly there tho
Like the arrow in the sky I find myself on higher ground
"While many people do not associate heavy metal with the future of aerodynamics, it turns out that French heavy metal band Gojira were onto something in their song 'Flying Whales.' Humpback whales have bumps on the leading edge of their tails, which affects its aerodynamics."
The start of my introduction for my Experimental Aerodynamics project.

For sure this is worth looking into. These guys know stuff.

Bird shit is bad enough ...could you imagine flying Whales flying around deficating?
That shit would flatten cars
HELP LMAO
You ever hear about that whale that they exploded on the beach? Pieces of it flattened cars
...the heaviest matter in the universe.
Better yet, the heaviest splatter in the universe.
My science teacher just played this and now I love science
Why do yall have sick teachers😭 My teachers boring as hell
I f*cking love science!!! oh my science,shut up and take my reddit gold!1!!
Wow goated science teacher holy shit. Mine were horrible I love science in spite of not because of them 😂
my science teacher and i bonded over edm. he loved shit like massive attack and aphex twin.
Context? How exactly did that happen?
That riff. Just that riff.
"Over the winds
They dwell in light
Fly"
Those last lines. The way they close the song. Just sounds absolutely cathartic for me.
SO MUUUUUCH
Which one?
Dime would be proud of that riff..,😎🤘🙏

That's pretty fucking metal

Once this song grows on you, you will tap the replay button manyyyyy times.
true, I hated this song because I couldn't stand listening to the same notes for 2 minutes lol... Now i'm in love with the song and the band in general.
True that
I wish I could hear it for the first time again
Same thing with Art of dying
Who needs this to grow? Shit slaps
That moment when you're favourite singer just fucking screams whales

Aquariums should be mandated to play this song everyday.. Unless they have a problem with whales flying away.
They would have to put a roof over the Whale pool
Agreed get this man to 100 likes
they would then have to find the whales.
Water of chaos
Have invaded all space
The flood on earth again
I have to find the whales
That once did guides us
To dry lands of life
I won't despair
I'll break this dark all around
Under the heavy sea
I'll search the flight of whales
Beneath the seas I searched
And had a different view
Of us on earth
The sinking ship of men
But it's beyond the stars
I found the place
Where they were
And they finally came to light
Over the winds
They dwell in light
Like the arrow in the sky
I found myself on higher grounds
From up here
For I see them in flight
Now I can see the whales
Looming out of the dark
Like arrows in the sky
I can't believe my eyes
But it's true
Huge tunnel ends in light
Like banks of clouds they gather
See massive shape of flesh
Swimming giants in the clear
The mightiest comes to me
I'm on the wing, wide open
They teach me how to fly
Slowly moving in the air
So much told with no words at all
Powerful presence for only speech
Breath
Over the winds
They dwell in light
Fly
I was looking for this. Thank you :)
The hero we do not deserve!
What do you think the lyrics mean?
@@pyramidvince2855 Isn't it obvious ?
@@pyramidvince2855 It about the patriarchy and the downtrodden underbelly of society
Nah i think its about the decline of man and searching for whales that can fly because the whale is wise!
Whatever man it fucking rocks
Top ten greatest riffs ever.
I don't think so
@@wastingtime2380 I think it could be. I mean the first riff around 2:25. It hits so heavy because it has got so little spaces between notes, and except that never gives a resting chance to your ears. And it's coming after 2 minutes of calmness.
Bass and guitar plays the same thing too. They are just on different octaves. So...it's just majestic. That's the riff that made Gojira famous. Maybe not Top 10, but it deserves Top 100 at least, definitely.
@@wastingtime2380 It's not a SUPER creative riff, but after that calmer intro (which let's be honest, could have gone on for 10 minutes and we'd still be happy with it), the drop into that main riff has such an impact that many can't compare to.

Between this song, the video game "dishonored" and the comics from Enki Bilal... The french must have something with flying whales !
World largest ocean area owned by France :

Might have something to do with Jules Verne. He did not write about flying whales, but i'm sure he gave a fascination for the underwater world to a lot of people.
Dude your username.
@@blue123456ization Mine ?
Fun fact - whales used to have legs
I am so glad they finally made this record listenable after all these years.
I know, right? It's a shame you weren't able to listen to this track before April 12, 2019. Even the CD would just skip right over this one. It's really odd that Gojira would do that to their fans...
Yeah man, you could taste it, smell it, see it, touch it but now that I can listen to it I feel fulfilled
@@Tekkenfreek234i cant tell if this is sarcasm since I’ve only recently discovered Gojira the record label is quite funny as this song is definitely much more than just “listenable” lol

Haha. There were actual flying whales in Star war Rebels.
@@skjana06 Indeed lol
Ah, a man of substance and class
I have an entire half sleeve on my arm with a massive whale bursting out of stellar space. I call him Joe. The amazing artist that did it even put the tail on my forearm so when I move my arm it looks like he's swimming
That is genius
Thats so cool! Can i see a picture?
Impossible not to head bang to
4:56 - 5:37 I lose it everytime when that section kicks in. I couldn't care less about elitists say but that section IMO is heavier and pulverizing than most slam metal songs I've listened to date. My face gets involuntarily scrunched up everytime I listen to these riffs. This is coming from someone who's an ardent fan of extreme metal - brutal death and black metal in particular. Gojira just nailed it, that's all I can say.
best riff of the song for me
its so simple yet effective af
@@rorschach7752 well, Gojira literally proved to me that simplicity is beauty.
It really took me off guard the first time, and I'm still impressed to this day how complex it is.
Gojira really understands how to create dynamic songs that are extremely rewarding to listen again and not just stay in one vibe for the whole song.
Great way of describing that. I would have loved to have been in the studio when he first played it and everyone heard it. Reminds me of some of the heavy slower riffs on Tool's latest-like on the song invincible.
One of my favorite Gojira songs. Ending with the apocalyps.
The heaviest matter in the universe
Flying whales breakdown
Now THAT is a breakdown of galactic proportions!
I have always felt like this song has one of the most effective, and hardest hitting breakdowns ever written. It's not the most impressive, nor the most technical. It's relatively simple and straight forward, but it serves the purpose of a huge release after a long buildup better than any breakdown I've heard since. You can say what you will about breakdowns but when it's used right and hits hard, it's an incredibly cathartic feeling.
This one hits like a fucking nuclear detonation.
Hello!!! Greek translation cause why not
Νερά του χάος
Έχουν εισβάλει σε όλο το διάστημα
Η πλημμύρα στην γη ξανά
Πρέπει να βρω τις φάλαινες
Που μια φορά μας καθοδήγησαν
Στις ξερές στεριές τις ζωης
Δεν θα απελπιστώ
Θα σπάσω όλο το μαύρο παντού τριγύρω
Κάτω από την βαριά θάλασσα
Θα ψάχω την πτήση των φαλαίνων
Κάτω απο τις θάλασσες έψαξα
Και είχα διαφορετική όραση
για εμάς στην γη
Η πλημμυρισμένο καράβι των ανδρών
Όμως είναι πάνω τα αστέρια
Που βρήκα το μέρος
Που ήταν
Και επιτέλους μεταμορφωνόντουσαν σε φως
Πάνω από τον άνεμο
Κατοικούν στο φως
Σαν το βέλος στον ουρανό
Βρήκα τον εαυτό μου σε ψηλώτερα μέροι
Από εδώ πάνω
Επειδή τους βλέπω στην πτήση
Τώρα μπορώ να δω τις φάλαινες
Να δεσπώζουν έξω από τον ουρανό
Σαν βέλοι στον ουρανό
Δεν μπορώ να πιστέψω τα μάτια μου
Όμως είναι αλήθεια
Τεράστειο τούνελ τελειώνει στο φως
Σαν ταινίες συννέφων μαζεύονται
Δες μεγάλο σχήμα σάρκας
Γίγαντες που κολυμπούν στο καθαρό
Οι πιο ισχυροί έρχονται σε εμένα
Είμαι στο φτερό,Ανοιχτό φαρδιά
Με διδάσκουν πως να πετάω
Αργά κουνώντας στον ουρανό
Τόσα πολλά λεγμένα με καθόλου λέξεις
Ισχυροί παρουσία με μόνο λόγο
Ανέπνεε
Πάνω από τον ουρανό
Κατοικούν στο φως
ΠΕΤΆΞΤΕ

I only know 2 words in Greek. Yasou and Malaka. I have been there over 25 times, and those are still the only 2 words I effectively know.
@@PEGGLORE Hehe,And that is basically the only words you need to fully get your point across here in Greece,Thank you for visiting our country so many times and hope you enjoy your future stays if you plan on returning once more : )
@@michaelfavvas7519 Yes, it certainly seems like it. But basically, for your interest there is a place called Lindos in Rhodes. That was pretty much my family's holiday destination every single year apart from a few times where we went elsewhere, but was never as nice as Lindos was, so kept going back. Been yh, over 25 times. Last time I went was 4 years ago with a friend for the 1st time in about 10 years which was nice for me. I would like to live there as it is so special a place for me. My favourite place in the world I think. David Gilmour from Pink Floyd has a place there as well. I saw him once on the beach when I was a kid and my dad told me who he was. His daughter Sarah was there every single year when her dad often wasn't. I saw her all of the time there, but never spoke to her properly cuz I'm a dick. I was meant to get with her eventually, marry her and Dave Gilmour be my father-in law, but unfortunately that didn't happen..
Definitely the heaviest song ive ever heard about whales
What about Blood and Thunder?
Happy 15th birthday to this album

How to listen to Gojira
Step 1 : No skipping intro
Step 2 : Read step 1
Truly, a blasphemy that would be
The intro is the best part imo
Who skippes the intro??
@@o_fata_simpla_dar_cool I do. Sorry, I like it, but it is too long and repetitive. I love Gojira but the only band with long intros and songs where I do not skip a single second is Opeth.
I'm skipping it.
I used to skip this song for the longest time because of the intro, and one time i had to hear it in its entirety, and man, biggest regret ever, i never skip this song again.
One of the hardest songs of all time without question. Literally nothing gets me as pumped as when that riff kicks in at 2:28
Imagine riding a flying whale? That would be so fun! 😁🤘

Imagine SEEING a pod of flying whales now that would be metal 🤘🤘
imagine that whales shitting
Whales are loud enough that their calls can kill you if you're too close. They literally kill you by essentially speaking. Whales are metal as fuck.
@@angeleaterstudios1004 Scientists recorded Humpback Wales in the Caribbean communicating with another pod off the coast of Ireland!
i could just go to wal-mart
The most iconic intro to a rock/metal song? 3 notes make me smile every time. Thank you Gojira.
its 4, 4 notes, im crying...
@@beastslayer9153 they're talking about the second part
That riff after the end of the intro slaps me so fucking hard every time. It's like a whale slapping me in the face with another whale.
Everybody a gangster til the whales start flying
I'm here for the Whalecore.
Listening to this song without a Headbang is Imposssible!
true
i knew an artist in college who made the most amazing piece of art based off of this song and it inspired me to start listening to this band. If you're reading this, thanks Joey, this shit (and your art) rocks lol
2:44, goosebumps! Respect!!
That riff at the end after the clean break is so fucking heavy. Shattered my skull dude.

Anyone else obsessed with the "keeeEEOWWW!" noise Joe makes with the guitar? Can't possibly just be me, I could listen to that riff all day.

Oh my god theirs something so cerebral and beautiful about the song and unironically the thought of flying whales. I feel like I’m going to cry. My new favorite song right now (Plus a badass name for a band)

Oh my gad I listening this track last for years really often and I really have more and more joy after every new listening

I’ll never forget hearing this song years ago in a public library. I also heard space time from theirTerra album. Pure chance and it changed my musical world.
Reminds me on the Southpark Episode with the whale who wants to fly to the moon.
Brutal
God damn, what an amazing song.

Whalesome performance.
Altho my favorite sort of metal is deathcore and metalcore. Gojira still keeps being my all time favorite band. They have nailed they're style. And still continue to produce bangers.
