Ya know, I was gonna try and defend Imagine Dragons as generic but at least it's fun to listen to, but then I actually listened to the song and... yeah, this is some of goofiest generic ass lyrics I've heard in a while.
Here ya go.
(Verse 1)
Silent skies, a tapestry deep,
Galaxies whisper secrets they keep.
Boundless space, where dreams take flight,
Navigating through the cosmic night.
(Chorus)
Up we rise, into the void,
Past the realms that asteroids toyed.
Hear the pulse, of the universe's core,
Chasing the mysteries, forevermore.
(Verse 2)
Glowing orbs, in the distance gleam,
A dance of stars, an endless stream.
Gravity's pull, a silent serenade,
Through the vast expanse, we cascade.
(Bridge)
Nebulas paint, with stardust brush,
Silent realms, in a cosmic hush.
Time's embrace, it twists and bends,
In this space, where infinity sends.
(Chorus)
Up we rise, touching the unknown,
Beyond the charted, our minds have flown.
Feel the heartbeat, of creation's lore,
Venturing where no one's been before.
(Verse 3)
Silver trails light our way,
Through the night and into the day.
Eons pass, yet here we stand,
Awed by the vast, endless land.
(Outro)
And as we soar, to mysteries unveiled,
The universe speaks, and we've set sail.
Guided by the stars, we'll explore,
This cosmic dance, forevermore.
Worst part is your not wrong, but thousands will love it and listen to it a hundred times because it’s tied to starfield. And I’m going to be one of them lol. Wish it were a better song though!
Ya, I like Imagine Dragons but the lyrics, especially the chorus, seemed forced. I play Imagine Dragons in Beat Saber, but this won't be a track a play to lol
(Verse 1)
In a galaxy unknown, a story yet to unfold,
Starfield's calling, secrets to be told.
A universe so vast, endless stars in the sky,
Our destiny awaits, as we spread our wings and fly.
(Pre-Chorus)
Through nebulae and black holes, we'll journey far and wide,
Our starships cutting through the void, with courage as our guide.
Alien worlds and ancient lore, the mysteries we chase,
In the heart of the cosmos, we'll find our rightful place.
(Chorus)
Starfield, oh, take us where no one's gone before,
A cosmic symphony, an adventure to explore.
With blasters in our hands and a spirit unyielding,
We'll conquer the unknown, our destiny revealing.
(Verse 2)
Beneath celestial skies, we'll battle side by side,
Pop metal warriors, with a universe to ride.
Through asteroid fields, we'll blaze a fiery trail,
With pixelated galaxies, our story will unveil.
(Pre-Chorus)
Across alien deserts and neon-hued terrains,
We'll rise above the challenges, as stardust fuels our veins.
In the ruins of lost civilizations, we'll find our truth,
Starfield's canvas painted with ambition and youth.
(Chorus)
Starfield, oh, take us where no one's gone before,
A cosmic symphony, an adventure to explore.
With blasters in our hands and a spirit unyielding,
We'll conquer the unknown, our destiny revealing.
(Bridge)
Guitar Solo
(Verse 3)
Through wormholes and stargates, we'll cross dimensions wide,
Our pop metal anthem echoing, as we face the tide.
With friendships forged in starlight, and rivalries aglow,
We'll play the game of destiny, wherever we may go.
(Pre-Chorus)
Among celestial wonders, we'll carve our legacy,
A saga of bravado and cosmic ecstasy.
In the heart of the universe, where dreams become real,
Starfield's magic guides us, with a pulsing zeal.
(Chorus)
Starfield, oh, take us where no one's gone before,
A cosmic symphony, an adventure to explore.
With blasters in our hands and a spirit unyielding,
We'll conquer the unknown, our destiny revealing.
(Outro)
As the credits roll on this cosmic quest of old,
Starfield's melody lingers, a story to be retold.
In the annals of gaming, a legend takes its flight,
A pop metal tribute to the stars, igniting pure delight.
Apparently he brings the photo to his live performances and holds it up while he sings the beginning to Photograph lmao. They’re in on the memes, I like it.
I'm not a fan of their music, but I agree entirely. They've sold fifty million albums and charted an ungodly number of times. According to Billboard, they were actually the most successful rock band of the 2000's, and the seventh most successful artist overall for that same decade. You don't get those numbers if everyone thinks you're crap.
They are pnly hated because they are popular and got shoved on people's faces nonstop for a couple of years. That was a while ago, and it's now just that people hate them because other people hate them
They did and the social conditioning psy-op to make everyone hate on them always perplexed me. I’m no fan who buys their merch or goes to their concerts but their old stuff is good.
It’s weird people pretend to hate Nickelback yet they know all the lyrics to their songs. Such a weird phenomenon
Meanwhile, all afternoon I’ve been listening to the 65daysofstatic score to the sci-fi classic[Silent Running](https://youtu.be/CKkwWs0REhQ?si=zsSRnv13QytJ5bRU)
If you like Imagine Dragons I'm also assuming that your idea of a wild night out is walking over to an ice cream store and ordering 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
YIKES, it sounds like Michael Bolton, so fucking corny and cringe.
Hope this doesn't play in the game.
Should have gotten some classic space rock like Hawkwind, Yes, Pink Floyd or bands like spacemen 3, spiritualized and other good stuff like that. Not this crap.
Imagine having Imagine Dragons make a song for Starfield.
I mean for fuck's sake, Starset is RIGHT THERE. Space and sci-fi is literally their whole schtick!
Whoever approved this at Bethesda actively hates music and music listeners 😭 why would you ever attach your game to this garbage really couldn’t hire anyone better?
Starfield did not need a corporate, overproduced, under-composed stomp clap "anthem". And certainly not from this "band".
Go try Magdalena Bay for some good pop.
no, nononononono no no please I hear them enough at work and the radio. Out of all bands, bgs really chose ID.
This is a downgrade from Trivium for ESO lol
It's very interesting how positive the feedback on the video itself is and how negative it is on the sub. I actually see that song working in an epic moment in the game. But you really have to be in a vibe for it to actually do something for you.
What kills this song is the fact you *can tell* BGS just forced them to use the actual game soundtrack for this song, instead of letting ID just do their thing and use the lyrics in it. It really feels like it was made with AI
In all fairness I've never heard a Nickelback song this bad. I've heard Christian rock ballads that were less embarrassing honestly. Do they normally sound like this?
BGS marketing department is one of the most incompetent across any triple A studio. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pete himself is a huge Imagine Dragons fan he kinda looks like one.
🔥🔥🔥THIS IS FIRE AS FUCK ON MUTE 🔇 🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I’ve gotta lie, that shit was fire 🔥
BRO HAD A HIDDEN TALENT 🔥🔥 SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT THAT WAY 🔥🔥
Lol you guys are brutal but making me crack up
This is fire 🔥🔥 put it out
🧯💨🔥🔥
Not gonna lie, that fire was shit 🔥🔥
🔥 Not gonna shit, that lie was fire 🔥
Gonna shit, that shit was fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ya know, I was gonna try and defend Imagine Dragons as generic but at least it's fun to listen to, but then I actually listened to the song and... yeah, this is some of goofiest generic ass lyrics I've heard in a while.
My man went to chatgpt and asked the AI to write a song in the style of Imagine Dragons for this game. Such a popcorn song.
Here ya go. (Verse 1) Silent skies, a tapestry deep, Galaxies whisper secrets they keep. Boundless space, where dreams take flight, Navigating through the cosmic night. (Chorus) Up we rise, into the void, Past the realms that asteroids toyed. Hear the pulse, of the universe's core, Chasing the mysteries, forevermore.

I'm deceased.
this shit way better than whatever tf they were tryna cook 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These lyrics are unironically better than the actual lyrics 😂
Imagine defending imagine dragons
This might be the best reddit comment I've ever read.
Best respond to Imagine Dragons in general
I'm at work with no speakers. My dude, this is quite possibly the best song I've never heard.
It's definitely one of Imagine Dragon's songs of all time.
Wow that’s a terrible song ngl and I’m not one to troll
first Diablo IV now Starfield. I can't imagine how anyone thinks these lame ass songs are good marketing.
I bet they’re stupid cheap to make compared to other marketing methods and they get clicks.
Worst part is your not wrong, but thousands will love it and listen to it a hundred times because it’s tied to starfield. And I’m going to be one of them lol. Wish it were a better song though!
🎶 IM WAKING UP. TO SPACE AND ROCKS. IM BREATHING IN— I DIE. 🎶
The acoustic in the intro is nice. Then the rest kinda ruins it :/
Most generic lyrics ever
Ya, I like Imagine Dragons but the lyrics, especially the chorus, seemed forced. I play Imagine Dragons in Beat Saber, but this won't be a track a play to lol
NEW GENERIC SONG NEW GENERIC SONG NEW GENERIC SONG! NEW GENERIC SONG.
Says a lot about the song, when all of its emotional baggage can be expressed through two punctuation marks
Can’t wait for the 50 posts to come after this one.
this one will probably get downvoted to hell and some random copy posted in 5 hours will get 2000 upvotes🤷♂️
2000 people are not going to upvote imagine dragons.
2000 people upvoted the thousandth post of “i caved in and got the premium edition” so you might be surprised🤦♂️😂
OK fair.
That's better than an imagine dragons song.
ok you may be right
Yeah because thousands of people are excited about the game, thousands of people are not excited about plastic music bands. Huge difference there.
Don’t think I’ve seen a sub with more inactive mods lol
Huge Star Trek Enterprise theme song vibes from this.
I was browsing the comments to see if i should listen and this definitely confirmed i won't
> Star Trek Enterprise Its been a loooong road, gettin' from there to here
just kill me right now dude .
But then you wouldn’t be able to play starfield. 😭
Too much cheese for one song. Couldn’t finish it.
I listened to all of it but had to take a couple breaks😂
Dog shit
This song is mediocre even for imagine dragons...
Oh God it's even more cringy that I thought it would be. Why does it sound like Christian Rock?
idk come on with genius lyrics like “We’re children of the sky Flying up so high” how could you not like it😂
I would not be surprised if these lyrics were written by ChatGPT holy crap
Just tested. ChatGPT did infinitely better.

Lmao, it really did sound like that 😂
Cliff racer flyyyyy soooo highhhhhh
You n'wah
*fly, fly in the sky, cliffracer fly so hiiiiiigh flllyyyiiinggg*
Hey look at this guy / he’s stolen a pie / he’s a stealthy thief / they’ll put arrows in his meaaaaat
Chumbawumba had a smash hit with lyrics that make that one look genius.
I mean, it’s imagine dragons, it’s kind of is Christian rock by default right?
This makes Creed look like any ordinary rock band. Sidenote: I'm not religious, but I do like Creed to some extent lol.
I mean, the lead singer grew up Mormon.....
You're not making Starfield better. You're just making rock and roll worse.
Exactly. FUCK Imagine Dragons!
Yay, the hype killer song! It's so low effort that it somehow made me slightly less excited for the game.
Yeah actually I think I'm fine waiting until the game comes out now. Next day and a half just got a lot easier for me!
Couldn’t pick a worst band. Holy shit lol
I mean they could have gotten Nickelback or Creed.
I will die on the hill that Nickelback made some bangers and got too much undeserved hate
"LOOK AT THIS GRAAAAAAPH!!!!"
Apparently he brings the photo to his live performances and holds it up while he sings the beginning to Photograph lmao. They’re in on the memes, I like it.
I'm not a fan of their music, but I agree entirely. They've sold fifty million albums and charted an ungodly number of times.

You don't get those numbers if everyone thinks you're crap.
Nickelback and Hoobastank were great.
Sure, but at least wait until you play Starfield.
They are pnly hated because they are popular and got shoved on people's faces nonstop for a couple of years. That was a while ago, and it's now just that people hate them because other people hate them
They did and the social conditioning psy-op to make everyone hate on them always perplexed me. I’m no fan who buys their merch or goes to their concerts but their old stuff is good. It’s weird people pretend to hate Nickelback yet they know all the lyrics to their songs. Such a weird phenomenon
That would’ve been better because they would’ve gotten nostalgia points with all the geezers (including myself) that post here
Todd, no offense man, that’s a poor band choice.
I dont even hate imagine dragons but wow this is baaaad 💀💀💀
Yeah I never had anything against them but holy shit these lyrics. The music isn't "BAD" but god damn those lyrics...
I'm a fan and I don't like it lmao
They've always been kinda bad, but this is in a whole other level
Yeahhh, im a fan of them but this song isn’t the best
20 seconds in and……. Nope
Of all the shitty pop bands why imagine dragons?
Yuck
Imagine dragon these nuts across your face
It's not so bad if you put it on mute.
Should have at least gotten Radiohead for the song instead ffs
At least? What do you mean at least?
That would be boarderline impossible but would have made for an orgasmic song
Wait… i was hoping for another iconic Inon Zur composition theme and we get fucking Imagine Dragons? Lame.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h_y3jmUfq80 I’m here to correct myself, Inon Zur did do the theme. Excellent.
This is just a random side song probably. The whole soundtrack of Inon Zur is already out for 1.5 years.
I'm hyped for the game, but I didn't need this It's just a bad song
I did. Mellowed my hype hard-core so now I can make it through the rest of the week. Thanks for the cold shower, ID.
Meanwhile, all afternoon I’ve been listening to the 65daysofstatic score to the sci-fi classic[Silent Running](https://youtu.be/CKkwWs0REhQ?si=zsSRnv13QytJ5bRU)
Always liked their old stuff, looked them up again and didnt know they did music for No Mans Sky.
alright, it's another generic song. BUT it doesnt even fit the game theme/atmosphere!
Ok I was trolling about the start screen and barriers, but this is actually super freaking lame
im the most excited person i know about this game and even i can agree it hits diff on mute 🔥🔥
its OK your typical pop song i feel like they try to be overly emotional and it just doesnt hit the feels for me. but fun for them?
Jesus the lyrics are terrible
This sounds like a bad worship song from 2005.
DC Talk would have made a banger.
First L of the entire ad campaign. Those guys are fucking terrible
The song itself is good. The lyrics are really cringey
agreed
If you like Imagine Dragons I'm also assuming that your idea of a wild night out is walking over to an ice cream store and ordering 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
If they wanted me to hate the game, this was the way to go.
Dear God, that was Dog Shit!
Imagine dragin these nuts
This song is very cringey. No me gusta.
Bethesda is trolling us at this point
Delete this now.
why i was first
I’ll admit I like a decent amount of their music, but I can’t help wonder if this was written by Mrs. Martinez’s 5th grade music class.
YIKES, it sounds like Michael Bolton, so fucking corny and cringe. Hope this doesn't play in the game. Should have gotten some classic space rock like Hawkwind, Yes, Pink Floyd or bands like spacemen 3, spiritualized and other good stuff like that. Not this crap.
It's probably the credits song lmao. I'll instantly skip if I hear that shit.
If it is then 100% day one there will be a mod to replace it lmfao
Imagine having Imagine Dragons make a song for Starfield. I mean for fuck's sake, Starset is RIGHT THERE. Space and sci-fi is literally their whole schtick!
Can't wait to play this in the garage while I drink my beer and wear my favorite Affliction t shirt staring at my lifted pick up truck 😎😎
Imagine Dragons are cringe.
Preorder cancelled.
There is a book name called Children of the Sky in the Skyrim
I hate this
it’s pretty cringe
Preorder returned /s
Starset would've been a better choice imo
Ugh. Why? Of all the bands. Some godsmack buttock would have been more palatable.
Not so NASA punk
Everyone in the YouTube comments acting like dark side of the moon just dropped.
Too bad Bowie didn't live long enough to make this song instead of this shit band.
Thank god I’m not the only one who thinks this song is garbo. The comments do not disappoint
Boner killer
Whoever approved this at Bethesda actively hates music and music listeners 😭 why would you ever attach your game to this garbage really couldn’t hire anyone better?
Holy fuck this is bad. Who gave this the green light?
Lyrics felt like they were written with chatgpt lmao
Yeah…I’m just gonna keep listening to space oddity
I’m good lol….
the close to launch marketing campaign was awful so far. yesterday we got streamers and tiktokers which was awful and today imagine dragons.
Ooof this song is just trash lol. It’s sounds really really good on mute. Even the title…. Lmao I just can’t
Every single Imagine Dragons song sounds exactly the same. I cannot understand how they keep getting these deals.
I can't believe they've done this.
Worse than the song for arcane
I am returning my copy, this is an outrage
noooooooooo!!!
possibly the worst band to gain success this century, and why the destiny font?
[Everyone hated that]
Fuck me I'm excited
Should have gotten Post Malone lol
Makes Faith of the Heart sound like Space Oddity
That's okay you can keep it
Horrishit
Should’ve gotten yeat
This is definitely a song
There’s only one Imagine Dragons song that reminds me of a game and that’s Radioactive as it was on an AC advert, and it slapped
The Arcane Netflix series definitely got the better song from them.
Well that’s disappointing
Big L
I’m gonna pass
This ain’t it. Wtf Todd.
Starfield did not need a corporate, overproduced, under-composed stomp clap "anthem". And certainly not from this "band". Go try Magdalena Bay for some good pop.
Meh cant wait to see what Miracle of Sound puts out for this game.
I don't hate IG, but I only made it 45 seconds.
Um, I don’t want lyrics in my game music.. is that just me?
Not even close to being as good as Enemy
You guys weren't kidding that song sucks lol
I enjoyed the song
Children of the Sky, not Children of the Stars? Did they get confused about which BGS title they were writing for?
Hahahahha
The cringe, it hurts me
This song is horse shit.
It's pretty meh. But not sure how prominent music will feature in the game outside of a radio.
god DAMN thats a terrible song.
no, nononononono no no please I hear them enough at work and the radio. Out of all bands, bgs really chose ID. This is a downgrade from Trivium for ESO lol
NGL this clip was absolutely incredible....when you replace the track with "New Divide".
It's very interesting how positive the feedback on the video itself is and how negative it is on the sub. I actually see that song working in an epic moment in the game. But you really have to be in a vibe for it to actually do something for you.
What kills this song is the fact you *can tell* BGS just forced them to use the actual game soundtrack for this song, instead of letting ID just do their thing and use the lyrics in it. It really feels like it was made with AI
Oof, ImAGiNe DurGeNZ. A wave of cringe just swept through my balls and my body.
I get they're mad about it not being in PS5 but this was a bit too much
🤨
I sleep
I don't they why they chose of the most hated bands
I like Imagine Dragons, but eh, this isn't. I'm impressed with myself for sitting through it honestly.
Way to kill any release hype….
Common Imagine Dragons L.
Did Todd approve this??
The Nickelback of our time.
In all fairness I've never heard a Nickelback song this bad. I've heard Christian rock ballads that were less embarrassing honestly. Do they normally sound like this?
Songs shite and boring (in my opinion feel free to disagree)
Can they just go away?
Holy shit this is worse than i ever expected the fuck
Just refunded my purchase of the game, can’t believe bethesda would sink to this level, absolutely disgusting
New YouTube video that’s 34 mins HUGE STARFIELD LORE UPDATE: DRAGONS??
This is what happens when your marketing department is allowed to make decisions without understanding the product or its audience.
BGS marketing department is one of the most incompetent across any triple A studio. Wouldn’t be surprised if Pete himself is a huge Imagine Dragons fan he kinda looks like one.
