This,is one of those songs you can't believe you've went your whole life without hearing ..glad I found it now.
Yes❤❤❤❤
Better late then never! Discovered Starfucker 8 years ago and felt it was better late then never back then. Listening in 2024.
Just saw them live 2 weeks ago.... They played this song and it was stellar
Am I the only one who finds the video and the song together so weirdly enchanting?
We all find the two enchanting
Yeah, Matt. You're the only one
Anytime you ask the question 'am I the only one...', actually think about it. the conclusion you'll come to is probably no. so don't ask; just make a point saying it.
Yes indeed
Hypnotizing
This song is like Home Resonance: oddly familiar, even when you hear it for the first time. A song you have alway known, even before it existed.
Well said.
@@RawDeneWar Which song ?
no
yeet
Its always been in the eter....we just recall it....
RIP to all the people who will never find this song
It’s my favorite, I want it all to myself
Rip to all the people who's playlist gets interrupted by that dumb censor.
F
@@spacecowboy1438 Dude, I only now noticed. WTF is this? YT is going down the drain huh
That's why I have it saved in a playlist, because I know I would never find it again.
@@spacecowboy1438 Hallelujah, it's no longer censored.
I'm amazed on how many people are discovering this band now because of algorithims, and I'm so happy you all are enjoying it
Pls shut up about algorithms you don't understand how computers work
Geez, David Hogg really is an asshole.
Guille A+ for asinine

This song makes me feel like I'm traveling through space on a mission .
If you haven’t already, listen to space song by beach house, it has that same sort of feel to it.
But you are travelling through space on a mission , we all are ....
You are dude
Bump this when you are going to explore a new place with your friends and you have the windows down, middle of the night on the open highway. We’re all flying through space :)
Love the reply’s
Always remember it’s the bassline that made you addicted.
As I was listening in my head I was like "damn I gotta get a bass and start playing again"
Yes!
Nope the little sound affect in the back ground is what made this
@@rubencarbajal1237.... It was both......
For me it was the drums.
Got baked and found this song. Ill never go back
Check out more of their albums. You won't regret it! Amazing band.
I did that with Bakerman by Laid Back, I think you'd like that one also.
@@chrisdstard5644 ill check it out
same
Brooooooooooo
Me too
This is something I have never seen or heard in my life and yet, it feels so damn familiar, right down to the core.
Allthais Nostalgia. c:
The secret formula to creating pop music
Agreed i feel a its music from ~inbetween the in between~felt but never heard...usually. Till its interpreted like this; hella smooth still energetic &damn fine funkdafied
You had never heard of Tame Impala?
Know that feelin 🤖
You knew its gonna be a keeper when you heard those first synths....then the bassline came, hugged, and pulled you in :)
total hug. As if it was saying..."come....let me hold you and take you on this journey"
It reminds me of another song. Any idea?
namibjDerEchte Sunbeam Sound Machine - In Your Arms ??? Reminds me of alot of songs lol
Pretty good description of what happened on my first listen. Instant love
Hard to believe that almost 2 minutes goes by before the vocals kick in.
When the world ends, hopefully this can play in the credits...
i just want it to be over
i just want it to be over
@@nicholasvaughan1328 dont hurry friend. Hope dies last
@@AlexMartinez-hr5gm I just want it to be over
Songs are so relevant with a completely new meaning when listened to in context of the current times, Listen to Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop for one
On one of my most depressing nights of my life this made me feel loved. Thank you.
Keep your head up
Bruh, it’s the void but I’m here with you. Wanna sip of whiskey?
You are loved but more importantly, love yourself, warts and all
Remember in times of hardship. Can't remember the Greek dude that first observed this, but here goes. The only constant in the universe is change and change is constant. Ponder on that for mo.
@@matthewbrown-smith7734 I prefer my personal version - The universe has no beginning and no ending we just live for the moment so take the best from it and enjoy it.
Six years later I'm just finding this
Me too, what the fuck
@Dork Born Okay idk about that, good yes. Brain-broken is more like Off The Air Liquid on a hit of some good Lysergic ;P
me too
totally...
same, better late than never tho.
dude the bass in this song is immaculate
That bass is so punchy, gawddammit.
don't take the lard's name in vain!
@Kym Meadows ironically, their bass player doesn't like to dance
Crazy how simple it is too, I love covering this song
@@rustynosebleed I do like to dance actually. _shawn
@@STRFKRMusic I've been lied to! ::gasp::
Love your new album :)
A great song so well choreographed with this nostalgic imagery. So much happiness here and yet, as others have said, a sense of mysterious foreboding and melancholy. Hats off to the band and the editor.
It is like watching little snippets of someone else’s memories, odd and beautiful.
Call it Hiraeth.
Take back our birthright.
This song and video make me miss something I’ve never known.
wow what an interesting and original comment that i haven't seen on plenty of other videos before
@@NeonKC but it's TRUE though
@@realghostxd not for me this songs garbage. They got some other good shit tho
Anemoia
@@NeonKC 😂
The power of this sound makes my eyes water, but still determined to press replay.
It's good to cry sometimes, even if you dont know why.
Thank you
I happens to me to but also with other songs... I thinks the cause might be depression lol
holy shit i bought a STRFKR album on accident in high school, in like 2009, and i loved it, and then i forgot about it for ten years until this appeared in my youtube autoplay
Happy Starfuckering.
Yooo same haha I was literally thinking same thing as I came across you comment good shii!
Er ma gerd😮
@Jerome Lund on iTunes I bet
@Jerome Lund i do that all the time, or record shop gives me something to try out or pass along.
Whoever made this edit is a genius and captured the right moments to sync with the snares ,snaps , visuals and etc! Amazingly amazing!!
This is creepy, dark and positive at the same time! With that video, it is complete. Who does that?? What is inside this person? Fcking genius! Thank you. You speak to me deeply through your creation! I feel you.
If this doesn't play at my funeral then I'm not dying
@theFareulookinat lmaoo I was about to say some shit like marry me cause your energy is immaculate
Would you actually have this at your funeral though? I mean, can you actually imagine all your friends and relatives sitting around as they're forced to listen to this indie-pop song while sadly ruminating on your life? Just curious.
@@marlonbrando6615 I would honestly. I would have pictures of me, my family and friends while the song plays and other slow indie songs in the background. It would be a celebration of my life and not my demise. I have it all planned out even though I won't be alive lmao
Gonna storm your funeral and suicide myself because the vibes are just too good to pass up
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.....good one!
for a fanmade music video, this is really on point! Very well done.
His whole channel is this good. One of the best editors on CZcams
@@ben__6180 absolutely
It’s whatedo
i legit thought it was the official video
NO kidding, because this is incredible how good it is.
I feel like something in these music come from an another dimension
Lyrics:
Fade to nothing
Golden Light
Wait forever
But alive
(I just want it to be over)
I remember
Every line
(I just want it to be over)
Fade to nothing
Golden Light
Made of nothing
Fade to nothing
We are so alike
We are so alike
Fade to nothing
Fade to nothing
We are so alike
We are so alike
😂🤣😂🤣
In other words look what they took from us
Thank You

@Apple Is Forever Did you miss, Miss Hawaii?

This song brings me nostalgia for my past life.
One of the best "accidental" clicks I have ever made. What a vibe for a beautiful sunny sunday morning 😍
Listening to this right now, Sunday 04/19/20
Heard this song in documemtary: Close Encounters of Fifth Kind ..made me to immediately look for it! It's an awesome song !!
Same here. Great documentary too, profound stuff.
What blew my mind is I heard this song quite a few years ago for the first time (this video specifically). Then tonight, on a whim, I was drawn to search for ufos on Amazon Prime and that documentary popped up. I was going to overlook it, but felt compelled to watch it... then this song was in it and I had some deja vu, I knew I heard it before. Here I am listening to it again lol. That's a good documentary. It has a lot of truth in it.
I was trying to remember in which movie or documentary I heard it! Thank you..Lol
Been a fan of these cats for a bit and the other night I was watching the ce5 doc that you were watching .this track came on and I got excited. I said hey I know that song!!:)
soundtrack for night-walking
Knowing how rare it was to even see a home video camera back then, I guarantee these people had no clue that they were also smiling for a Starfucker video they would be immortalized in forever ;)
Its actually from a documentary
What an interesting insight
When America was great
@@deweylasv what the fuck has that got to do with anything, why not when these lives were great. america sure as fuck wasnt great back then
@@yvc9 triggered? Its ok to admit we have been a very successful country
One of the, if not the BEST, editing jobs that I've seen...
David Dean burkhart is officially the human that has simultaneously the best music taste and the best editing skills
You should try his clip about a song of king krule where he compiled hundred of people dancing in perfect harmony with each note
this video is amazing to me, because i grew up where everything was recorded in 35mm or super 8, so it really takes me back, to what looking back was a simpler time
I clicked on this because it said starfucker and I’m so glad I did 😳
I clicked because NIN did a song with the same name
ditto buddy
Me too
me tooo mee meee tooo ..haha thought i was gonna get at least some hard core throat rock .......lol
Same here lol
i just spent 3 hours listening this on repeat.
Borne of profound sadness, joy and unrealized nostalgia.
The primary base spectrum of human capacity to rationalize emotions . I couldn’t put my finger on it . beautiful observation
all white media is looking dated nostalgia for sure
This video is so perfect it feels like it was filmed just for the song
This song is perfection.
the bass is so sick!
Yes
*Boss passing by my office* :That tune is good, what's the band?
*Me* : Well...
Just spell it out for them
Star Flipper
@@jimmymac2292 course, with only saying STRFKR will be enough
This song takes me to a different place. I love what this genre of music can do to your mind
I love the retro 70's psychedelic look and sound. I'm so glad I got to discover this band today
A mix of psychedelic and electronic ambient in an indie mood. I like it.
Can’t believe I’m just finding this but so grateful I did! This song gives me a special feeling I don’t feel very often
This is the best song I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to
This song is a gift since seven years ago, it was uploaded the same day of my birthday and I can't evite feel nostalgic. Such a good memories we create with music. Feeling nostalgic af with the pass of the time, today I'm turning 18 and my world is over me with this great song.
edit: whoever edited this piece deserves a medal.
edit: All the medals.
Love the aestheticism of this videos that song fit perfectly too
Finally a video where nobody's trying to remind me what year it is or which show brought them here. Priceless !!
I love this video. I was born in 81 so all of my families older pics in al ums and in the wall looked like this. The style of the clothing and hair too. Old photos of family members that I know to this day or that I never met. Very nostalgic. Reminds me of being at my grandma's house.
I truly appreciate the art of beauty that it captures in great depths of great mystery.....
the music is really cool
"Made of nothing. Fade to nothing. We are so alike"
The song is, in essence, about how we are all unified in the cruelty of existence. We are not special. No matter what we do to distract ourselves while we are alive - we came from nothing, we are nothing, we will return to nothing. In this way, all humans are the same.
We are the nothing becoming something to find what it's like... The universe experiencing itself through a funny dream about some monkeys on a beautiful spinning rock... Enjoy it while it lasts ✌️💛
Would be nice if everyone thought the same. Money is the root of all evil.
We are the same. We are all looking for answers to questions that will never be asked. Love one another. Life is beautiful.
Deep man love it
@@chrismoiser6477 lame
This song and this music video have been an important experience for me. Since the first time I watched it in maybe 2014, this song has helped me feel melancholy, ghostly sonder. It much reminds me of when I used to look at the Bay Area from a hill near my home. All these people living out their lives, and they are probably not even aware that I'm watching from my dark hill.
I am the lonely ghost who haunts the people of the Bay Area from my dark hill. We, the audience, are the future ghosts who haunt these people from 1970-most of whom are over 70 years old or dead by now.
I love this song! Every time i hear it i get goose bumps all over my body and pure bliss. It makes me feel like im traveling through space into the stars
This song's reminds me of a longing/yearning feeling for something that can never be fulfilled but you can't help but have hope that one day the empty cup will be filled
It’s about the world we could have had if not for the boomers. We will never have this. Ever.
@@scrambledmegdresqlol569 ayo fuck boomers
yearning is suffering bro
@@scrambledmegdresqlol569 ah damn :( rip but I somehow have hope that one day not in my lifetime it could maybe change but maybe I'm being too bright eyed, things have been so shit this year I hope you are all keeping safe and well x
I lived this
Always find myself coming back to this song, love it.
Smiles of empty souls truly fading to nothing more than a shadow on the ground.
I won i won iam so high.
Why so gloomy? These people look happy.
@@Andre-hu7nm are they though?
“I just want it to be ovvveeerrr”
Best line and so relatable as Josh sings “fade to nothing”
The only thing that can make me sadder/nostalgic than this song is watching the video. I actually miss these ppl i never met.....
....Life and growing old is so, so, fucking strange....
Aquí 10 años después escuchandolo por primera en 14 de julio del 2023 y sigue siendo una increíble canción 👌✨
Just got my Star F)*(*er vinyl today this video is the era I wish I grew up in
Classic
Hello forgotten comment!
I adore this music video
wow, instantly in my playlist. how have I never heard this mix of instruments and melodies like this before....?
This is the generation that throw us under the bus 😆
Sounds like Red Hot Chili Peppers
That feeling of nostalgia. It's both soothing and warming to the soul, yet it is bittersweet.
Knowing that it'll never be again.
Trip much?
@@augustgeary59 do you make sense much? I'm thinking not.
Why have I not heard this awesome song before now... It chills every bone in my body I can't stop listening to it..

@@Brind-amour haunts me video song,so happy I have found this.
And yes thank you.
I love you
Thanks
I only just realised how great the editing is at 0:57. Looks like he is playing the drums
The bass drives the song like crazy...so good...great song...
this sounds so haunting, i love it
years later people are finding this sweetnezz ! love it
anyone else addicted to this song/ video?
This song makes me want to cry I dunno why..
Lost heritage maybe?
Never forget what was taken from us.
I did.
equally
I understand, I feel the same. It's sad and powerful.
Makes me think.
I don’t know why but I still keep coming back to video.
The favourite part is the breakdown with the young lady rocking while playing piano.
I don’t why but that part just sticks out to me and always did, it’s a mixture of the musics impression and the visual of the video they just have a strong aesthetic to them for me.
I see and hear things differently then most and can experience a large reaction to something very simple yet it is so powerful to me.
Fade to nothing
Golden Light
Wait forever
But alive
(I just want it to be over)

Adorable and terrifying! This is one of those CZcams gems you discover many years later. The algorithm isn't complete shit yet!
It appeared to me for almost a year before I've finally ceded up.
No it's terrible now, it can put you in a loop of the same songs forever, I need some new songs mr a.i!!
Even in afterlife this will remain gold , the Base & the sound is out of heaven ☀️ simply this is will take you places ☀️ one of all time favorite ☀️
I encountered this savage gem nearly a decade ago. It still rings just as true today . . .
I think the fact that a lot of the people in the video are probably dead, makes the song and lyrics hit a lot harder.
What a collection of music we have here!! Thanks again David!!
Not many people know this, but Luke Skywalker was originally Luke Starfucker.
Do you mean from the movie or luke from Too Live Crew?
Yep. And his father was Little Dark Age Vader.
well, he blew up the Death STAR after all, so you have a point lad
@@pyrointeam The only true master of the star whores
@@pyrointeam May he Force it in you
Very beautiful. Made me puddle up. God bless America
Like some others, I can't believe I just discovered this badass melodic artistry. Damn, I think I'm in a trance again. And of course the band name says it all. Lol
I surprisingly just found this a few months ago. But it feels as if I’ve listened to it for years.
What this song represents to me is that ultimately individualism, personality, and personal experience is all an illusion. We are all one -- all from the same fabric of space & time & ultimately from the same energy source or life force. We are all here to learn the same lessons. All of us feel the same pains, the same happiness in life -- even though the physical & material may cloud your true vision a lot of the time. Only do we truly reunite with these realizations when we return to the source -- the golden light.
Damn, that's deep.
oh but it’s very real my friend, the stars themselves are all stars but they all have individual purpose and meaning. Some shine brighter than others, some are in the later stages of their progress. The fact of the matter is we all live this, at separate paces. At each moment or the next. don’t forget your personal potential my friend
Enough weed for today homie
@@santiagovillavicencio8073 don’t need herb i am the herb

This song feels like nostalgia.
C’mon man, I quit smoking. This song makes me wanna light one up and go for a drive
Tell me about it! Would take a ton of a load off my back if only for a couple hours.
You still hanging in there?
@@LosAngeles822 wouldn't it...
Hits me right in the feelz
I wanna quit myself....now? Why bother.......
Eerily beautiful and slightly unsettling ..love love love it.
i have really fond memories of travelling to school by train and listening to this album. i hated going to school but i remember listening to strfkr, specifically this song and kahlil gibran.
These guys are incredible musicians. A few years ago I moved to Oregon from Indiana. Made a trip to Astoria and Cannon Beach and played their music while there. It was surreal.
This is a native Oregonian asking you to add Pacific City to your list.
Star Fucker is always so damn great! They make me feel so good.
OMG just discovered! incredible sound!
Whoever edited, composed and put together these clips, and choose the era and setting is a genius. Bravo
The Nostalgia am feeling! I wasn't even born yet.
It’s crazy when you realize the girls in this video are probably in their 60’s now
68-69 years old, if they're still alive. They are peoples grandmas and great grandmas.
Mark Reaves they might also be single and still working
@@neonrot77 this was a different generation. Your lies don't belong in this time.
what is the video sauce?
You're scoping out someone's granma
This song was in the documentary Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, along with a few other great tracks.
About once a year I come back and listen to this ten times. 2:04 Dianne Sawyer in bottom right corner. She was a judge because she had won a previous Miss Junior Spirit.
Candace Bergen was there as well!
six years and 6 months later and I'm just finding this.
Ephemeral female beauty, wholesomeness, innocence, a time capsule of youth, something indescribable you know you can never really have in this new world, this video is everything I love and makes me sad.
now you have antifa, blm, tattoos, pink hair, weird clothing, and rude/obnoxious behavior as a cultural norm. general ugliness all around.
