I just turned 40, and sadly the older you get the more you look to the past. The past never loses its lustre, while the future always looks a little dimmer. This song will always send me back to my youth with a punch to the gut
I just turned 44 .. once you've seen behind the scenes at the puppet show you can't unsee .. but don't stop chasing the rainbow ( the one we grew up with .. not the gay one) ✌️
It sucks that we get so cynical as we get older.....this is the reality of it though. We are doomed, unless we hit the lotto, I believe our best days are likely behind us.
This song blew my 15-year old brain into another dimension when I first heard it back in 1998. Hearing it again at 40 has an even more profound effect on my entire soul (nostalgia is a hell of a catalyst for good feelings).
Same same same... also 40, also heard this in 1998. I was in a record store (remember those?) and they played this song. I was totally mesmerized, I went right up to the clerk and asked them what this song was, went back to the CDs and immediately picked it up and bought it. I've never regretted that decision.
I was 10 and they were giving this promo cd out with a book. I jammed out so hard back then but could never remember the name of the book or any of the songs/bands just a vague impression. Just figured it out and this is such a blast from the past. I still love it.
The Television show ANGEL (spin off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) introduced me to this song. It’s used in a great montage of a detective scene. What a great song
Funny story. I gave a copy of the album on cd to a Tv show music producer on a flight from LA about 5 months before it was on Angel. I was also sitting next to actress Stania Katic who also got a copy lol. The producer had window seat Stania was in the middle, I was in isle seat. This is way before her role in Castle. She had just filmed a movie called Pit Fighter. Holy shit what a walk down memory lane.
It is, and has been, one of my favorite songs of all time. Jon hits you with that wall of sound with such force that can only be described as an orgasm in the midst of an atomic blast. Eat your heart out Mr.Spector. Jon perfected your method.
Whoever mixed the guitar and drums deserves a lot of the credit for this track. Just the right mix of a thick and crunchy without overwhelming the rest of the song. God bless good audio engineers.
My mother used to always listen to vast before she past, shes the reason why I got into this type of freaky music and when I hear this, its in remembrance of her
I was working for a college radio station in Los Angeles back in the late nineties. This CD came across my desk, and I was legitimately blown away. Called up the label rep, got some extra copies and tickets to go see them at The Whiskey. Great show and I got to meet up with them in the VIP lounge after the gig. Good times.
I was given this cd by the bassist Michael Cry when we were 18! We were outside of Soil, a ol’ goth club in San Diego & he was so excited about his new band!! And they’ll always have muh LOVE!!
@r33mote No you can't honestly believe that. The number of better bands were worth it. Yeah some of those were shit but look at Alice in Chains, Tool, Smashing pumpkins, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Rage against the machine, Snoop Dog, Tupac, Biggie. What the fuck does modern music have? Mumble Rap? The same generic shit rappers who are nothing like Tupac or biggie. The same diarrhea cranked out alternative bands who have nothing to say. Nothing rock related comes close to any 90s bands except for 10 years and a couple others.
I'm here because I was in my 20's for the 90's and I loved a crazy, wonderful, tragic woman. We listened to this a lot. Still brings back the feel of crushed velvet and the smell of incense.
I haven’t heard of them either. I watched Angel I think and I found this song. Also they have a great song “don’t take your love away from me” Which I found on my own but it was in one three hill
@@lovehatedie That's Freaky ! I got a free Angel Album for getting to the Radio Station before they were gone ! That was about 45 years ago. (I'm 64 now)
I haven't listened to Vast in years. I dated a girl for 3 years and this band was what we originally talked out. After we broke up I put Vast out of my mind and just forgot about them. I've deprived myself of an amazing band for too long. Tomorrow I'm digging out all my CD's and listening to them back to back to back. Holy shit they're good.
This is one of those songs that I'll set the resolution to the lowest at 144p and right click to loop and just continue doing what I was doing with other things just to feel a bunch. This song emanates a sort of obsession, wickedness, the ambient noises really fill the smaller spaces in a unique way right alongside the intense and up front drums; This song is a trip, like a trance and I love that in a song. Makes me imagine blurring a camera to accentuate a mind's rearing focus outwards from the world and inwards towards the sense, yet at the same time completely engaged and immersed into someone and the memory of such knowing that it's been broken without repair.
@@autentyk5735 A great question for a random and arbitrary seeming detail, simply that it's the least bandwidth to play on loop; Won't stall other tabs or activities and in most cases you'll find that the selection of pixels doesn't affect sound quality - there are a few that do increase the sample rate for certain songs. That being harder to distinguish as you move up from 144, 240, 360, 480 and above. If you want to imagine it properly, think 8 bit sounds with that chip sound and move up. Very similar to that pattern, going higher quality into synths the higher you go.
The vocals are so Bulgarian it is awesome and they include the sipsi flute so it has a Turkish touch too, but this kind of music is beautiful, the mix between Baltic and Anatolian music makes it so beautiful
"Everworld" was what brought me here. A promotional CD for the books was sold at Barnes & Noble back in 1999 and this song was the first track on it. The lyrics actually fit pretty well with the story.
I saw them at Lupos in Providence RI with Orgy, Disturbed, and Linkin Park and VAST was by far the best set. God this album still gives me shivers down my spine.
@Justin MC no it was a DVD this was like 2k5 or 2k6 I specifically remember Bam was one of the skaters Featured like right around the first build up of the song.
@@springrain9438 I've no idea why my previous reply did not show at all, but the Bulgarian song which fragments are used is called Пиленце пее (probably because written with Latin letters contains a word that's been filtered)
@@xor_r0just came back and the first reply is there! I'm going to be introducing my son to this song and I know he'll love the extra detail you shared so thanks! Also, I imagine the rest of their music is probably pretty good too.
this is the song that drove me to buy this whole album. and what an epic album, too.....I think it was back in '99. when I first heard this song, I was in a tanning bed. how funny....but I couldn't get this song out of my head,,,so I went to tower records that same night,,,and sang the song to the store clerk.! thank god they knew who the band was,,,i played the shit out of that whole cd for years to follow...& well, the rest was history.
I'm very upset this was around int he 90's and I never hear it on the radio. I'm very glad I found this gem later in life and will have it on repeat indefinitely.
You will never find or love someone like that again....cause everyone is different and unique. But life goes on, and you can find better & love better. You can love stronger, and even be happier. You can find purpose...without dependence. It can be real instead of a world that only exists in their eyes.
This song touches me in a way that I simply can't explain (and no, pun is not intended). The lyrics, the background vocals, the etherial sound of the whole thing. I've listened to this song for a rather long time now, and I always enjoy it just as much as the first time. It's hard to decide between Somewhere Else To Be, Nile's Edge and Touched when it comes to favorites.
This song is a masterpiece not only for the text but because of the magical Bulgarian voices in the background. We, bulgarians can make very beautiful things like this. I remember watching Zena,The princess warrior, that was the first time I've heard bulgarian folklore song and now this... I'm very happy!
Funny how years can pass... and a scent, a fleeting sound or sight can bring back a memory. such vivid memories. This is that for me right now. Happy New Year to all of you!
I remember.1998. WAAF. Boston. Ozone let this rip I believe. This track took EVERYONE! OZONE,, Last of the real DJs. Long gone are the golden years.... love out.
Surely this is one of the most epic, moving, phenomenal, emotional, aggressive love/hate songs of all time? It's impossible for me to listen to this song without crying. A travesty that Jon Crosby wasn't recognised as one of the greats; writing the songs, singing, arranging, playing all the instruments... A sort of angst-ridden Mike Oldfield. Awesome stuff. And for the best love song you've maybe never heard of: Blue Öyster Cult "I love the night".
What brought me back to VAST after so many years? A surfing documentary that played this song while surfer was making his way down the face of what was then the largest wave ever recorded. That surfer was Laird Hamilton. The wave was off Maui. It gives me goosebumps still. Never has there been such a pairing of physical defiance and "I got this" mentality. Utterly perfect music for riding a giant.
@@stely_official If you're not sure of the word, phenomenal = amazing or extraordinary. If you just don't agree, that's cool, each to their own but I think it's in my top 10 albums of all time.
@@RS43210he's referring to AJ Styles, a pro wrestler who used a remix of this song called Demigods when he would show up in the promotion Ring Of Honor. He also used it in other places but ROH was where he used it most
Thank you, 1999 Stimulus Response CD (won from a Mountain Dew bottle cap) - I probably never would have known this song if not for you. Good times, epic track. I went on to enjoy a lot more of VAST's music after this too, but it's been years. The nostalgia is real.
Heard this in the trailer to The Beach & the surf movie Step Into Liquid many years ago. Very powerful song REALLY wish there was an instrumental version
@@Xeema4869, Angel or Angel the series (ATS) is a spin off of a show called Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It is recommended you watch the 1st 3 seasons of Buffy, as Angel started on a,character rhere, however it is not needed. The 1st episode of Angel will tell you a little bit about who he is and give references to who Buffy is. He's a vampire, but he's good, and wants to help people. In thjs universe, he has what's called a soul. Which basically means he has a conscience of what is right & wrong. Other vampires in the show do not have that, so they are evil. The show follows a similar theme to Xena, a character looking for redemption. Yeah, I would check this show out.
Fuck, listening to this song again after losing my cat. The day before she died I looked into her eyes and we saw each other, and this song perfectly describes how I feel, every word.
So glad I’m not the only Angel fan here! Which other fans are here in 2024?
Me! Love Angel.
For life. Awesome show.

Both "Endless Summer" and "Endless Summer 2" are also both worthy watches too...😉
For those finding this track from wherever - The entire debut album is just phenomenal, every track is amazing. Highly recommended.
the entire album is "phenomenal".... huh
@@stely_official If you're not sure of the word, phenomenal = amazing or extraordinary. If you just don't agree, that's cool, each to their own but I think it's in my top 10 albums of all time.
@@RS43210 oh you missed the joke
@@RS43210he's referring to AJ Styles, a pro wrestler who used a remix of this song called Demigods when he would show up in the promotion Ring Of Honor. He also used it in other places but ROH was where he used it most
The phenomenal A J Styles brought me here!
My fiance played this during a drunk night and I've been looking for this song for a straight two weeks
how is this song not more popular?!
Reminds me of Lair Hamilton..Dave kalama..Derek Doerner.....Aloha !!
The Witcher brought me back here to this old goodie, hmmm the memory’s 😌😌😌
You are right .
Oh the memories. ❤❤ folk music mixed with rock never fails me
Thank you, 1999 Stimulus Response CD (won from a Mountain Dew bottle cap) - I probably never would have known this song if not for you. Good times, epic track. I went on to enjoy a lot more of VAST's music after this too, but it's been years. The nostalgia is real.
Heard this on the radio in the late 90s and was mesmerized by it. Just found it here recently and still find it amazing in a haunting way.
I, I looked into your eyes and saw a world that does not exist.
I looked into your eyes and saw a world I wish I was in.
That part was tough to make out..i think many people miss hear that section...i know i did till i saw the lyrics a way back
One of the MOST UNDER-RATED tracks EVER!!!
Still coming back to this now. Such an unforgettable album and song.
Heard this in the trailer to The Beach & the surf movie Step Into Liquid many years ago. Very powerful song
REALLY wish there was an instrumental version
A search for Vast Touched brought me here (because I've been listening to this since the 90's).
ditto
I don't know why but I associate the movie "The Beach" with this song. But yeah... 90s.
maybe because it was in the movie and they played it on the TV ads for the movie.......
@@iliketostealyourthoughts this song wasn't in the movie (only in trailer)... what a pity
@@femme-mirage didnt it play at the end during the credits? Its been a very long time since I saw the movie.....
First time I heard this song was on the TV show angel with David boreanaz the vampire with a soul...
The Song is As the Sesaon 1 F. 2 from Angel . Great Song.
Makes me think of Angel the series every time. A great song for a great series.
For real, I wish the show used the song more than once
What's the Angel series? Do you recommend it?
Xee DragonHeart TV show called Angel. MASSIVE recommend. I absolutely love it. Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is awesome.
@@Xeema4869,
Angel or Angel the series (ATS) is a spin off of a show called Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
It is recommended you watch the 1st 3 seasons of Buffy, as Angel started on a,character rhere, however it is not needed.
The 1st episode of Angel will tell you a little bit about who he is and give references to who Buffy is.
He's a vampire, but he's good, and wants to help people.
In thjs universe, he has what's called a soul. Which basically means he has a conscience of what is right & wrong.
Other vampires in the show do not have that, so they are evil.
The show follows a similar theme to Xena, a character looking for redemption.
Yeah, I would check this show out.
I love watching angel and this song is my favorite
came up on my spotify list and brought me back to my past!
Fuck, listening to this song again after losing my cat. The day before she died I looked into her eyes and we saw each other, and this song perfectly describes how I feel, every word.
PHENOMENAL
