why is no one discussing their 10/10 dance moves? like they're gettin it this ENTIRE video man

Wow I expected to see every comment complaining on how the song is too soft, but I am shocked to see that people actually like the song, as do I. This song is really good!!

Dude it's fucking amazing to see David's growth in this band. He came in later after their Limitless, then he learns how to sing clean parts, and he's now also one of the guitarist in the band. From screamer to singer to guitarist idk that's pretty sick IMO

1:58 "I think I’m worried that I’m into Dave" ~Andy

This is song is fucking great 😈🤘

This reminds me of a song called Hologram by Crown The Empire

Best music videos. Always.

It's been about a year since I got to participate in this video. Such a good memory and great experience!

I love this music video. They should do a visual album. thatd be fun

I have no problem with Dave doing clean vocals. I think they sound great but it almost makes Andy insignificant. I get that both sound different but with Dave doing cleans and playing rhythm guitar, Andy seems like an extra member. I hope Andy gets more time to shine in other songs.

After 3 years searching to find this song again it came up randomly on spotify. Love this tune so much even today.

It's upsetting that Dave is gone. You guys are all very gifted musicians

Not only did there style change, but also their wardrobe lol. No more all black clothes

why isnt their songs the soundtrack to every fallout game

I think this song\video is about how the musicians and bands have to leave their families constantly and all they leave behind in their absence are songs and videos for their children, lovers, and parents to see of them which is the hologram. And to the musicians exploring the world and seeing new things is cool but without their loved ones it feels like a wasteland which is why this has a desert setting, all the while they wonder if their loved ones really know who they are since they can't spend so much time with them and that's why they feel as though a part of themselves are "lost out there"

Geez haven't i been missing out. I just discovered this band last night and i am in love. Every song ive listened to gives me goosebumps! The screaming is perfect too. They sound amazing live too (from the videos ive watched)

Say you have a job somewhere like a certain fast food restaurant. You make decent money and build a good rep. You find another restaurant, that pays better and you can actually grow a little, pay rent or taxes without worrying about walking the line. You go for it, leaving the old job behind and the rep. Bands chance their sound, content with it, and it attracts more attention, broader audience, and potentially more money. Are we criticized for trying to stay financially stable? One other thing: why are we never pleased as fans? A band could change their sound and get called sellouts. But if a band stays the same, they are attacked for making "the same album". We complain no matter what it seems.

I cannot hate Crown The Empire even for retrograde they given so many songs that sound so Great Come Out in the last ten years.

Crown has gotten softer but they still make badass music

This album is a masterpiece to me. Dave doesn't think so and he has every reason not to think so. But this is still to me their best work, even if it's not truly the music they wanted to make after all. The mystique of the album is certainly admonished a tad knowing what really went on behind the scenes, but it's still an incredible album to me. And that speaks volumes to Dave specifically and not just the band. He may not be proud of the album, but he still gave it 110% which is why it's still a masterpiece in my eyes. Props to Dave and knowing now how distant the other guys in CTE got from him, I'm especially rooting for his solo career to take off Cause he was the most talented member of the band and they are undoubtedly weaker without him.

New eden song and plus a crown the empire one? Best day !

Warning: The new album is pop rock, zero is the heaviest song, it is generic radio rock You're welcome

Dave sounds so amazing in this song

This song is awesome!

Review of full album I listened to the leaks and let me say upon first glance i was sad, it wasnt as heavy as i intended, but upon second glance, i became obsessed. This is a big change for crown, theyre easing us into this new atmosphere theyre building. All of these songs are unique from one another, instrumentally its a huge change but i think for the better, vocally though it is lighter, the vocals now match the instrumentation and energy alot more i think. Yes they dont scream as much, but i respect that they arent forcing it. Theres screams when there needs to be screams and theres cleans when they need cleans. The album is very fun, the two songs i feel are the strongest is lucky us and kaleidoscope. I have alot to say about the album, but ill leave this here so theres a real review as opposed to "its generic" or "its the best" if you feel that way, explain. I feel overally this album id say is seriously an 8/10 and i think immensely that they arent done with this idea, its going to get even better. Its hard for a band to make a big switch like they are doing. I respect the pace

One of the things I have noticed about this band is that even if you don't like it at first, the more you listen, the more you love

3:25 "No, I think I'm worried that I'm in to Dave…"

as you grow older, time grows more and more precious. during this time, you find less of it to just sit still and enjoy something, because the things you once enjoyed have become less important than your time. but then there are some things that you just sit. in that moment. and with this, it is one of those things.

absolutely love this! CTE has not failed me yet. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album! This just makes me super excited for Warped

Anybody saying this isn't metal needs to get with times and understand that there is a wide spectrum of metal.

Awesome!!!

Amazing video. Kick ass song. Also, whoever was in charge of their outfits fucking nailed it. And Andy's dancing was awesome.

You guys are truly one of the best bands I've ever heard. When I want to listen to something that puts ME in a good mood I listen to this song. 5 stars

This album has its own feel, but if I had to call it something, it's a mix of Restoring Force/That's the Spirit.

Through your eyes I fight for gravity A place to stand, and a place to breathe When the walls begin to shake In the home you thought you knew Will you run? Will you stay? Will you choose? Do you know who I am? I’m so afraid you’ll never understand There’s a part of me still lost out there And I just want to know Yeah, I just want to know Am I becoming a hologram? Close your eyes from the darker side of things A shade of grey hidden under sheets When the walls begin to shake In the home you thought you knew Will you run? Will you stay? Will you choose? Do you know who I am? I’m so afraid you’ll never understand There’s a part of me still lost out there And I just want to know Yeah, I just want to know Am I becoming a hologram? Now I think I’m worried that I’m in too deep Like a phantom that you’ll never see So I just want to know Yeah I just want to know Am I a part of the hologram? You have seen this incident based on sworn testimony. Can you prove that it didn't happen? Perhaps on your way home someone will pass you in the dark And you will never know it, for they will be from outer space Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined Redefined Do you know who I am? I’m so afraid you’ll never understand There’s a part of me still lost out there And I just want to know Yeah, I just want to know Am I becoming a hologram? Now I think I’m worried that I’m in too deep Like a phantom that you’ll never see So I just want to know Yeah I just want to know Am I a part of the hologram? Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined Shadowed in time, another road redefined, redefined

this is my favorite song from crown the empire.. 🔥🔥

And now Dave left the band...

This shows how versatile this band is. I love that this album has a concept and this song is the PERFECT blend of Alternative Rock, Pop and Metal

I went to Warped Tour in Scranton to mainly see these guys! The second I walked in the gates, they are literally standing right there selling there new album! it felt like a fucking dream! Then to take it a step up, I did the TEI workshop with them and it was worth the 40 minute and I will always remember that day! If you ever see these guys, don't be shy! They are really chill and fun to talk to!

cool video and song

first cross our bones then zero then this........who's pumped for their new album

So glad i didnt forget about this one, I discovered Crown The Empire at warped tour. Good times.

The vocalists on this band have really good talent

I wonder if the movie Interstellar inspired any of this album

band that change their sound are always 10/10 to me

Am I the only one who watches this 100 times in a row when I'm sad...? Idk, this song in general just makes me smile

Everybody talking about Dave and I'm just here waiting to find an explanation on the video?

"Hey this is pretty good" *Starts screaming in song* "Ooo never mind"

NEVER CLICKED A NOTIFICATION THAT FAST IN MY LIFE

My favorite Crown The Empire song period 👍

"I'm so afraid you'll never understand there's a part of me still lost out there" it hits me hard.

Fuck….. I miss Dave’s Screaming. Next level

I just love Andy's stomping at 3:03, for some reason...

tree could punch me in the face and i would still kiss the ground he walks on. thats how deep this band has me

People who claims ''One is a true fan who accepts the band's music despite their major changes in genre,'' don't understand anything at all except for being a dog for the band that trails around with anything they do. You need to know that being a fan of the band is being a fan of the music and/or genre they produce. If you're in love with a band's music, you're in love with the type of music they make but when they become the opposite of your pleasure, would you still want to listen to them? In spite of them making something completely different from what you expected (in genre) and what made you fell in love with them the first place? If you're in love with a rock band and they turn the opposite of your liking let's just say they turn into a pop generic band, you people still wanna say you like it cause that's being a ''true'' fan. Who are you being true to here? The band for themselves or the music? I don't get it :/ Most of these modern bands are modifying their sounds just for themselves to be mainstream and earn more but I know I know some people would say if you don't change you're gonna be sounding the same all the time but you're just a lazy thinker. There are no such thing as sounding the same if you make music from your heart and soul. The bands that you people are giving reference to are just having no passion for music. You can never be classified as producing things all the ''same'' unless you're not putting emotion and passion into something.

My favorite song ever. This is everything I ever needed, thank you guys

You have to admit, Andy has the best moves

I really don't know why people keep making awful comments about this album, I liked this album it's not bad, Crown the Empire worked so hard in this one and I don't really understand people because if a band changes their sound they get hate and if they don't change their sound and stay the same they get hate because "they always sound the same" "they keep making the same chords"

At first this song didn't really get to me, but the more I listened to it; I liked it more and more, and now I cant get enough of it!!

The nostalgia

dave, come back in CTE :(

Going melodic hardcore are you? I can dig it

okay, can you people shut up please? really? These guys worked really hard on this album and for what? to get hate? no, they did this because they wanted to and they enjoy making this music. if you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it, no body is forcing you. just leave and let those of us who actually enjoy it keep enjoying it. thank you

Yep I stand corrected. This song is everything to me

one of my fave bands ever! love this song :D xx

Guys, ever consider that maybe they just like this style now? I know that as someone who listens to a shit ton of music, my preferences have changed over time. The fact that they're professional doesn't mean they don't like change. It's their music, they're allowed to change it if they want to. And another point, this isn't just for fun??? This is their job. This is how they make their living. With all the people illegally downloading music these days, they have to find other ways to make more money, and constantly touring would be so taxing on a person. So yeah, maybe they are selling out, but the alternative could be finding another way to make a living outside of the band. AND ANOTHER THING. Imagine doing what you love and having everyone complain about how it sucks and how it's changed, and then some new fans say how much they love it and how they're so glad they just found it. If they're getting the support from the new fans and the fans that like the new stuff, those are the fans they're gonna be happier to please. Not the bitter ones who can't accept that people change, and that their ways of expressing themselves may change with them.

I've been a fan from day one and to see how much this band has progressed over the year is amazing. Im happy for all of them. I was lucky enough to meet the band, from what I know they are very passionate about their work and fans. I enjoy their change in style and how they present their music. Great job guys.

I cant be the only one very excited for Retrograde?

Not heavy ≠ BAD. It means not the SAME. And that ≠ BAD. This is good shit and it's well written and it stimulates a response from me. All I ask for.

this album is literally so good i dont understand all the other "fans" and how they hate it??? its literally my favourite album of 2016.

Thank you for being so great at what you do. I really enjoy your music. Keep it up guys.

the music video reminded me of interstellar!

This song is lit and stuck in my head!

this is real fucking music, no fucking popular people heard of, and i would like to nominate this band a grammy for alex's dancing in the background

Crown the Empire most underappreciated band in existence

I love this song so much. I play it over and over again.

most catchy song ever, damn good

HOLY FUCK THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching that interview with Andy really made me look at this song and album much more than I though I would. the lyrics make sense and are deeper than what I thought. I love Retrograde and it is one of Crown The Empire's most true and real albums ever..

I love how Andrew moves around while singing or just waiting for his lyrics to come up. He does that live on stage to and its fun to watch, makes you wanna jump and dance around with him x3

I'm just so upset with Andy/ crown the empire itself. I really am. not to long ago, Andy tweeted something like "if you can't get with the progression of music then you won't like us" and here is all I tweeted in response, "well there's a difference between selling out and progressing" - it was very mutal. and then 10 minutes later he literally blocked me. it broke my heart because I've supported them ever since BEFORE they were popular and they have been my favorite band for years. I tried explaining the situation to the offical Cte page and I was blocked on there. it just really is fucked up man. you can't say or do anything without getting blocked. this band has gotten me out of deep shit in my life, and they decided to block such a loyal ass fan, like myself. if you don't believe me, my Twitter is called @/itscalledmetal, so look for yourself. I was totally innocent. and I know this is totally random, but had to speak my mind& say my peace.

Reaaallyyyy hoping this album doesn't suck..I really like CTE but this song doesn't really give me much hope..

Saw these live... amazing as always and still in love with this video

still crying because this song resonates w me so much. how come my favorite band had filmed a music video in my spot, the spot where id drive to and cry, the spot where id drive with my friends to hang out and camp, the spot where i have so many memories in my personal life, it's almost surreal. i spent so many hours with my best friend here, with my older sister who passed away from an overdose. it feels just.. weird.. keep it rocking CTE. Glad you chose giant rock to pick a spot..

2:13 That bridge sounds very Muse-y to me.

I can't believe some people in the comment section calling this pop or that they're like 5 seconds of summer now... Like what is wrong with you? This might not be as heavy as their older stuff, but this is definitely not pop and they definitely sound nothing like 5 seconds of summer

Es hermosa la cancion lo anduve buscando por mucho tiempo . Por fin lo encontre .

The entire band looks amazing, the wardrobe choices are so perfect, the dancing's great, and they all look like they're having a lot of fun with the song. That, paired with an amazing video storyline and a kickass song? I really love this! I love their older stuff as well, and I like the new direction they're going in a lot, they're growing as a band and evolving and it's wonderful evolution! The paired vocals give such an interesting quality, too, I like the differences a lot!

MCR danger days flashbacks up in here

This is so touchy... I've no words to describe what i'm feeling :)

Literally can't stop listening to this song, it's the best thing I've heard all year, so excited for this album 🙈

They need to make more music , they are so good!

They are just getting better and better

Who don't really like the song at first and come back to finally fucking love it?

The young actress who portrays the Astronaut's young 10? year old daughter is Jessica Storm! I just saw a FB post from the creator of the Hologram video where Jessica had acted in an episode of "To Catch a Cheater". She is on the IMDb!!!

So happy that they got off the "trend" wave and are writing actual music

New favorite band

Is this same band who wrote Johnny's trilogy?

Woooowww. I...love this new direction they're going in. CTE never left! They always just seem to make albums that hit hard!

Every time i open the song the intro reminds me for the "Dangerous Days" ..... Sometimes i return the same 7 seconds again and again !
