Reddit will know the story behind this upload.
Here you go /u/Team_Braniel any less creepier? - Hudba
I think David Byrne really doesn't know what a horse is
Update: David Byrne now knows what a horse is and plans on creating a new song to properly depict them
I don’t think he does.
You don't know what those guys are thinking. Maybe this is the sound that you hear behind their eyes
That song doesn't even sound like a horse lol
Played this in an abandoned aircraft hangar to scare anyone else who might have been in there. Only scared myself instead lmao
It's sodium chloride
@@Ibrahim___246 Uh dude it's salt
@@joseradio9202 That's what I said, sodium chloride

@@matthewpowell4629 If you don't know what salt is, maybe mopping duty's too complicated for ya.
Friend: *hands me the aux*
Also friend: you better not play any trash music
Me:
Yeah, I get that a lot..fuckers! X
I doubt he is still your friend after that ...
Sounds like a guy is slowly turning into a horse and dying.
That's disturbing o_o
I like the way that sounds actually. Perfect for this song especially
To me it sounds like some kind of alien singing and riding an alien horse. Wtf is wrong with me
Bogdan Also very good o v o)b
Eh, that would be some weird fucking horse
this is just what horses are like, and what they sound like, in real life. they know your sins. they watch. and they wait. next time you hear a horrible snuffling moaning dragging noise, its just a horse.
Horses are the real murderers....
Thanks for letting me know, I’ve wanted to own a horse and if I had before I read this comment I would be PETRIFIED
For some reason I sing along to it
Thanks for this comment! I wish I could forget about it! I can't even come up with something creative I'm just terrified!
false, horses arent real
'How much creepiness you want?'
David Byrne : yes
How to summon a horse
David was actually creeped out when he heard it.
I love that David Byrne can write This Must Be The Place, one of the most beautiful songs about love; and then make this terrifying shit. Jesus Christ, he really needs to work with David Lynch sometime
The only one of his songs I'd heard before this was Like Humans Do since it was one of the pre-installed tracks on Windows XP, this is uh... not the same vibe lol
This song makes me feel like i unlocked a hidden emotion that no human has felt
Fear. Cool, dude
Dorcelessness
Can you explain? Cuz else im thinking you felt like you were being watched.
@@Catty779 Harfam for me.
It's a surprise tool that will help us later.
THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL HORSE
get a look at this hornses ass
Horse with sharp teeth and horns and 6 eyes
THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL STABLE
Letting the days go by, letting the water hold me down
MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
Okay so at first it sounded very nice... Then it got all creepy and disturbing...
Then shifts back into something nice.
What I can't figure out is why this is called "horses".
sdagoth1 Same.
sounds almost like hooves running. thumping or whatever. artist never has to be literal
There was some movie dealing with it I think.
This song is so bizarre. And yet strangely I find myself listening to it again. I feel like I'm trying to figure something out. It makes me feel really strange listening to it like physically feel odd
Amanda Miller same
yea, I feel kind of high blood pressure-y/ anxious/ kind of pins and needles, maybe nauseous?
Paranoid/insane me is like "This is BRaInWaShInG peopleeee."
Also me: *listens to this on repeat*
@@martinthedrainedsedlak Psychological phenomenon. Sounds can actually directly affect a person's mentality. And for these kinds of songs, there is a kind of wrong that we all can pick up but unable to understand
Yes the heart beat getting faster gives me a sense of urgency and danger. Like I have to hurry before... something.
When I hear this,I think of a dog slowly being taken over by rabies. The singing in the beginning is just the dog living normally. Then the weird ghostly noises are the dog decenting into rabid madness. Then when it starts to sing normally again but the heart beat is in the back ground,that is the dog being confused at what is happening to him. Then when he goes crazy at the end again but this time,the electric little beeps come on,that's him in the vet about to be put down. When he sings again,that's his last moment of being disease ridden as he is taken out by euthanasia.
Jilly the Kid well goddammit now that's sad
Wow that's heavy but some powerful imagery
Stuff like this is why i can't walk away from youtube comments. I always thought this song was just Byrne trying a bit too hard to be avante gard and only meant to disturb the listener. I'd have never come away with an interpretation this tangible and sensible.
wow so dark...but amazing, how can people come up with this stuff?
....
When it said "dsdksdhksj" I felt that
bio teacher used to play classical music during our quizzes and tests. for some reason this song started playing, and the best part is that he didn't turn it off. never had a harder test in my life
That’s hilarious
this played at my funeral. im now a horse.
+Rainy Day then how did you comment??? (you know horse's legs are pretty thick)
Έρικ Κωνσταντόπουλος THICC
Oh hey! Were you the horse from Horsin' Around?? I love him

I can confirm I was the casket
How to make a atheist go to church
Matthew Bray DAM RIGHT U BETTA GO TO CHURCH
Nah I’m good
but atheists relly on truth
Nah man this doesn't make me wanna go to church this makes me wanna party, This is good shit.
@@awesomepossum4375 I know right? This song is not even creepy me
It will be great for a Silent Hill soundtrack
silent hill is more serene and calm but eerie
It WILL be? Are you one of the developers of the Silent Hill games lmaooo
Yeah I agree
It should play when you ride a horse
It would
My mind tries to picture a horse but I just see ghosts, demons, witches etc.....beautiful work of art this is.....the only safe word is horse.
david Byrne is one helluva drug
rutela not evem once
Sounds like the singer ate the microphone, spit it back out when he realized it, then ate it again because he kinda liked the taste.
They played this song at the club.........
The Pro364 What kinda club you going to...
Was it the Devil Worshipper's Club?
Sounds like my kind of club.
I'm guessing the wrong song played and everyone just stopped dancing and looking at each other like "what the fuck?" And the DJ was scrambling to play a different song.
Thanks for the idea, it would be a great opener for a set
Damn Satan's new mixtape is *FIRE*
Underrated comment
How did the lead singer of the Talking Heads make _this_?
Probably with synthesizers and drum machines, with the drum machine being used sparsely. As for the voice, I have absolutely no idea. Maybe he used an EQ?
@@teamyordle23 Recored his voice on a vinyl and played with it on a record player. synthezised afterwards...or before...
BananaPhoPhilly right???
Vocoder and drum machine.
It's strange cause the artist hasn't made anything else like this, and I love it.
Best song, such deep lyrics
“Manama Aymamama”
Nice pfp
@@skytheterrible5087 ikr so deep
when they said "uuuuhhmmuhmuuuhhwuuuhhmuhhhh", i felt that
nemu pfp hell yeah
this is actually exactly what I think when I think of horses. glad they made a song of it
There's a very Silent Hill-ish vibe about this track. I love the melody, it's peaceful, and it makes the creepy parts more drastic.
I'm starting to see that as well
I'm thinking it starts to play when the main character is at a horse farm
This song makes me think of Alzheimer’s Disease, specifically the feeling of being inside a hospital and not knowing why you’re there but at the same time not being able to remember life outside of this melancholy confusion
I wouldn’t be surprised if The Caretaker was inspired by this
this is some great asmr
what is asmr
Ethan Vanhouten asmr are 3D sounds you are listening to when you're need like a deep relaxation. amsr sounds goes from ocean waves and to the weird things like the sound of rattling plastic ☺

Sassy _ Spoon you welcome
I'm officially obsessed with how this song sounds. I'd love to do an in depth analysis on it and the images that the song gives me.

No need to you'll hear it when the gates of hell open for you and you'll hear it and you'll be happy!
Have the funeral in a cavern as well
I guess i can say
You can only hear a song like that *once in a lifetime*
dont get it
@@overpricedhealthcare the creator of this song is david byrne, the singer of talking heads who made oncec in a lifetime
@@frenchlad9441 OH, i never knew that
didn’t know a simple song could legit give me anxiety for no reason well done 👍
It’s rare that I get genuinely freaked out by music but for some reason this unsettled me a lot , It actually kept me awake at night for some time ,it was a mix of some of the legends I’ve heard about this song, my mind play tricks on me and trying to fathom what I experienced. In short wasn’t a fun night.
I can't help but imagine a human hugging their horse, and then when the try to let go, they can't. Both of their flesh has fused together. Then as the song goes on, the human and the horse slowly merge into a suffering, monstrous creature that occasionally hums, as if it's the last bit of humanity and life shining through.
bruh. Anyway, who are you?
jesus fucking christ. please tell me you write horror stuff because you have such awesome ideas
@@cowbearrie I don't, I just have interesting ideas
1) That’s fucked
2) Ludwig from Bloodborne?
@@djin1745 what?
he really said i wanna make something fun, something for the summertime, something for the girls to get ready and party to.
I think the idea of the track is to disect it's tempo and audio distortion to hear what it really sounds like. sounds like audio encryption
I love how the heartbeat in the background gets faster and faster
Imagine if this was the last and only evidence of life on another planet.
Sounds like 5yo me whenever I was handed a microphone. Just goofing off making weird noises into the mic.
This song is horrifying and disturbing and yet I can’t stop listening to it.
Someone should use this as a song for one of Mr. Incredible's uncanny phases.
As someone who has listened to bands like Godflesh, Sunn O))) and Khanate, I can safely say I've heard creepier. Still, this is brilliantly executed.
fam tell me what songs by any of those bands are dark fucking ambience
Lammy
Try the album "Black One" By Sunn, especially the song "Cursed Realms." Godflesh has songs like "Pure II" and "Streetcleaner II," and pretty much all of Khanate is fucked-up.
thanks fam
You kidding me? Sunn O))) doesn't scare me as much as this. At least I know what to expect with that band, this is uncanny valley territory.
stalaggh is way more intense in my opinion, if you can call that music
I know its supposed to be art, but holy shit it gives me the creeps. I'm sitting here in broad daylight and I'm still getting chills. Idk how you guys aren't afraid of this lol.
art is supposed to make you feel emotions
@@funnysticklady I'm so tired of hearing this, it completely bypasses any and all discussion on what makes this song art. "I feel things, therefore art" is so reductive and lame, type an essay about how it makes you feel instead
This is the weirdest porno soundtrack I ever heard ! That being said I'm still playing this at my daughter's wedding.....or funeral !
AND YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF IN A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE WITH A BEAUTIFUL HORSE
what the hell am I LISTENING TO???? Holy hell
😂😂😂
You're listening to revolution 9
U listening to horses
Art....apparently?
The user being completely stripped from 3 of their senses after the event of arrival...
The green object engraved with Anglo-Saxon glyphs may be a possible depiction of...
The Idol of Eirræbœ...
Soon.
This is a warning SIGN of it's soon arrival
Victims appear to be targeted in large crowds of people.
The beginning is not scary at all.. It's actually chill af and made me relax. Then it sounded a bit creepy but I got used to it pretty fast. I've listened scarier shit lmao
Bogdan link me some of that scarier shit i'm looking for some
Bogdan what more scafier shit?
Pleas tell me
Yes do tell.
Come on I need that creepy shit
You better give me some creepy shit right now
Speed it up it sound funny as shit
Bassman 01 lol you nut! not insulting you just laughing because you were funny
hippyable Thanks !
I think there's a hidden message
For FUCK'S sake, it sounds even creepier
Slow it down to 0.25x, sounds even more fucked up😆
1. The user seems to be stripped of all 3 senses upon the events of arrival. In place of their faces, victims only have a layer of smooth skin.
2. Most of the victims were targeted in large crowds of people. This is most likely to avoid suspicion in its early stages.
3. Eirræbœ, the entity suspected to be behind the anomalies, does not respect the implicit rules of our observable universe.
CONCLUSION: Humanity must accept it is entering the early stages of its inevitable demise.
me when I see the green object inscribed with Anglo-Saxon glyphs
1:37 he sounds like he is being possessed i played this song in front of my dog and he didn't like it at all
That was fairly relaxing. Of course its day time and im in my safe comfortable home so i bet if it were dark and i was away from home and this song played I’d be freaked out
am i missing something here? because this shit makes me feel like im gonna have my legs eaten in my sleep beyond my volition.
also, listening to the full thing might summon something that's not welcome.
@@digitallytransmitteddiseas4686 Why is that?
Part that threw me off was how it just suddenly ends, no outro, just a sudden stop, and then silence
It sounds like a song played backwards. It probably is tbh.
I reversed it nothing really happened unusual
This sounds kinda like something that might play on a little big planet level... Just saying...
Vriska Serket this seems like the perfect song for aradia,, don't you think. *Dave says, Nudging Vriska*

Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Ben Yoder You're right. °^°
HOLY CRAP! YOU RIGHT! 😱
::::)
Throughout this you hear like scratching and what sounds like a savage hungrily eating raw squishy flesh heartbeats running footsteps whispers choked singing child like voices
The heart beat background just imtensifies the creepymess of it
hmm. I don't know what to think. I feel like I've beenaviolated from the inside. That's even worse than being violated normally.
Princess pancakes I know what you mean, this makes my body feel weird… Like I want to choke, cough, or get something that doesn't exist out of my throat or body. It's not that creepy in retrospect, but just the way it makes me feel physically is... ugh :(
This song is genuinely scary to me
When I hear this I think of a horse and an owner... and the owner is slowly devouring the Dying horses flesh whilst singing harmonic melody’s to show there love for their long forgotten friend showing through the infected mind of the owner good there is still good within grasp!
Thanks I hate it
LMAO you earned youself a like
Cedrik Beiwel damn looking back at this it’s kinda gay...
lol
@@the0n3buc5uc wow it’s been 3 years, this randomly came up in my recommended today lol, looking back, what I said didn’t even make sense
what the living HELL IS THIS IM GOING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES
This is trippy. When I downloaded the song, idk why, upon listening the song was a few pitches higher. Also, the length would change from about only 15 seconds to the full length. Hopefully it’s just all glitches with technology :)
It's like two women horses trying to sing in human but they are rotting, leathery flesh. For a ceremony in the dead zone maybe? And the other scary sounds are of them making sounds as they try to survive in their everlasting dying breaths in this hellish limbo! I can see them lying on the ground trying to sing but death gets a grip of them again for a few moments and other demons are trying to get to them but the only thing that keeps them at bay is the singing. So when death grips them for a few seconds at a time these demons come for their rotted flesh but they regain every time in a never ending battle between hell and heaven. A nightmarish limbo where no human is meant to be unless they die and no human should want to know about.....
Monica what the fuck
That's what goes through my head.....I am one of the few curious ones who search the deep web, forcefully forgotten dark stories/myths/legends, unforgettable horrors of the dark and abyss, and of the vast unknown where so many go insane. I have seen, felt, and heard so many disturbing eye rotting things that may very well be found in hell but somehow exist here on Earth. Brought on by others like myself who want to know more in the name of curiosity and preparation fro all we know and do not know. The thing that keeps me from becoming one the most insane demonic humans on this Earth? My self awareness. I constantly keep myself in check and stop my thoughts when and where I need to in order to keep my own sanity from slipping down that dark diseased slope of humanity and hell. What the fuck indeed said the human amidst the monsters.
LMAO!
Monica West nigga
What the fuck
Having seen the source material, this will never be frightening again.
Not gonna lie the last part has a sick beat to it 😂
not my easiest fap
damn you must be picky :p
comments like these are why youtube is so great.

Pink Ninja WHY ARE U FAPPIN TO CWEEPY MOOSIC
When I listen to this song, I think of a human with their horse happily being together. At the beginning, the human is riding the horse and humming a song. The extra percs sounds like the clopping of the horses' hooves.
Then the ghostly noises and heat beating happened, which shows that the human is slowly being infected of some kind of deadly virus. It's about midnight, the horse is sleeping peacefully. The human hums again as it slowly walks to the horse. The horse isn't yet aware but it will be after.
Then all hell broke loose as the human grabs the horse and takes a bite, the horse wakes up and tries escaping, but the human overpowers it, pinning it to the ground as it's teeth sinks in the flesh of the horse.
While the human continues eating, it also continues humming. More beings like the infected human show up and also eat the horse, hence the extra whispering in the background.
The final part of the song shows that there are police and swat team members in the area, the beeping symbolizes the sirens. It ends with the sudden cut-off, showing that both police forces ends the lives of the infected humans.
mate you've got to be a fucking behemoth to manage to eat a horse
So zombies?
damn he was so hungry he could eat a horse

When The Grudge plays you her mixtape
the beginning is so beautiful
I mean, David Byrne was known for his experimental songs, but this is just taking the piss...
I don't even know why I'm here but I don't care what any of you say the beginning part is the creepiest part and I will never watch it again.
guys the guy who made this was the lead singer of the group talking heads he's scottish
2:43 WHEN YOU EAT TOO MUCH TACO BELL!!
Usually with either disturbing music or music period I picture a story or event to match things. I can rarely feel myself in a situation instinctually from music. This is exactly that, what is said instinct it provokes? Fear.
Like...A demon right outside a thin salt circle as I sit in terror.
A monster walking by as I hide under a bed.
Just that weird feeling that something dangerous is so close to me, but I can't do anything.
Thats what this makes me feel.
this is my jam.
What surprises me the most is this is from the same person from Once in a Lifetime and This Must Be the Place.
But the beat at the end. holy...
Now that's not creepy at all.
2 seconds in and I already have goosebumps
wilbur what is this sweet murmuring in my ear
Someone: This is fucking creepy, I almost had a panic attack
Me, an individual with anxiety who has frequent anxiety attacks: Oh cool haha I should definitely listen to this
Me, one minute later: This was a b a d i d e a
The shaking and tapping that interrupts the beginning every so often sounds like the beginning of a 90s Jpop song
good taste this guys immaculate
The ghost noises make me think of trying to slurp something really cold and viscous through a straw and it getting stuck midway while trying to suck it in for some odd reason.
does anyone else feel better after hearing this song?
it's creeped me out at the same time as feeling better.
Angel of darkness no
Angel of lite it makes me feel sorta funny. First time I listened to it made me feel really strange. The effect lost intensity after a couple times, but still yet makes me feel physically strange.
lost, hopeless, abandoned, sadness, hate, broken. I feel like that
I feel indifferent
THIS IS SO BEATIFUL .
who else is going to have nightmares for the rest of their life?
Still having nightmares?
STILL having nightmares?
_GOD HAS LEFT THE GROUP CHAT_
Holy fuck no wonder this was used for a creepypasta... what the hell
It gets extremely disturbing at 02:40
Now I'm scared of horses. When you listen to this thinking really deep on what the guy was feeling like when he created this song, you start to creep out
+Lysai Well, David Byrne is some kind of surrealist professional
Check out the band Talking Heads.
+Coffee But his other songs arent that creepy
Lysai
No but it has that psychedelic element
+Coffee I'll check it out once more for sure
And Talking Heads too
Thanks c:
+Lysai I found this "song" while playing an indie game, called "it moves".
wich sounds MUCH better !! (and scary)
Actually...I fell in love with this...song!?!
Si esta bueno
i love how you can actually see a horse in the mountains
This sounds like a bad trip in the desert and for some reason you are half awake but tripping
Hey Wilbur viewers
It sounds like the musical embodiment of suffering. It’s diseased but desperately trying to sound like a sound.
In a way, this is kinda beautiful.
