ALL FALLS DOWN
CREATED BY #62321
"ALL FALLS DOWN" IS A TRACK RELEASED ON OCTOBER 27, 2017 BY NORWEGIAN MUSIC PRODUCER AND DJ ALAN WALKER, IN COLLABORATION WITH BRITISH ARTIST DIGITAL FARM ANIMALS, AMERICAN SINGER NOAH CYRUS AND SWEDISH SINGER JULIANDER, WHO MAKES A GUEST APPEARANCE. WALKER, DIGITAL FARM ANIMALS, MOOD MELODIES AND THE BAND THE SIX ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCTION. THE LYRICS WERE WRITTEN BY THE SIX, DANIEL BOYLE, PABLO BOWMAN AND SARAH BLANCHARD.
THE TRACK FEATURES A MIX OF ELECTRONIC SOUNDS AND POP MELODIES THAT ACCOMPANY THE EMOTIONAL VOCALS OF CYRUS AND JULIANDER. ALTHOUGH ALL FALLS DOWN RECEIVED A MIXED RECEPTION FROM CRITICS - NOAH CYRUS' VOCALS WERE APPRECIATED IN PARTICULAR - SOME FELT THAT THE SONG DID NOT MATCH WALKER'S EARLIER RELEASES IN TERMS OF ATMOSPHERE AND UNIQUENESS.
Introduction
THE PROMOTION FOR ALL FALLS DOWN BEGAN ON OCTOBER 23, 2017, WHEN ALAN WALKER RELEASED A TRAILER FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO. DESCRIBED BY CRITICS AS “AN ACTION-PACKED ADVENTURE OF EPIC PROPORTIONS” AND “A REAL ROLLER ROASTER AFFAIR,” THE TRAILER TEASES A VARIETY OF INTERTWINING SUBPLOTS — INCLUDING ROMANCE, ABDUCTION, CULT-LIKE BURIALS, EXPLOSIVE SEQUENCES, AND EVEN AN ALAN WALKER-BRANDED TIME CAPSULE. VIEWERS ARE IMMERSED IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD FILLED WITH DESERT LANDSCAPES, FLAMING TORCHES, WELDED METAL STRUCTURES, AND A TICKING DIGITAL TIMER — ALL ADDING TO THE CINEMATIC TENSION AND WORLDBUILDING.
TWO DAYS LATER, ON OCTOBER 25, WALKER REVEALED THE FEATURED ARTISTS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, BUILDING FURTHER ANTICIPATION FOR THE RELEASE.
​IN AN OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT, WALKER SHARED:
“WITH THIS RECORD I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH SOME AMAZING ARTISTS. NOAH CYRUS' VOICE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! EVER SINCE I FIRST HEARD THE TOPLINE, I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH IT AND CAN'T WAIT FOR MY FANS TO HEAR IT AS WELL. IT HAS A REFRESHING PRODUCTION THAT STILL FITS WELL WITHIN MY SIGNATURE SOUND, WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO MAINTAIN AS I EVOLVE AS AN ARTIST. ”
NOAH CYRUS ADDED:
“I'VE LOVED THIS RECORD SINCE THE MOMENT I HEARD IT. IT'S AMAZING TO BE A PART OF THIS SONG WITH SUCH A BADASS DUDE AND IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE TO BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT. ”
FROM THE ASHES
AFTER SIXTY YEARS OF RED NEXUS TYRANNY, THE WORLD IS FINALLY AT PEACE. FOUR YEARS AFTER THE END OF THE SO-CALLED AVIATION WAR IN 2090, HUMANITY BEGAN A NEW CHAPTER. SURVIVING COMMUNITIES SETTLED IN THE VAST RUINS OF THE OLD WORLD, LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE IN WHICH TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES WERE KEPT TO AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. PEOPLE BEGAN TO CULTIVATE THE LAND ANEW, REBUILDING THEIR LIVES ON THE RUINS OF A GREAT WAR.
IN THIS POST-APOCALYPTIC REALITY, THE PAST WAS ALMOST FORGOTTEN - UNTIL THE DAY WHEN THE FIRST SIGNS OF NEW HOPE APPEARED.

time capsule
AT SOME POINT, IN DIFFERENT CORNERS OF THE WORLD, PEOPLE BEGAN TO DISCOVER TIME CAPSULES - HIDDEN DEEP UNDERGROUND, DISCOVERED THANKS TO A PROGRAMMED SOUND SIGNAL. IT IS THEN THAT WE MEET FIVE SURVIVORS WHO COME ACROSS ONE OF THE BURIED CAPSULES.
THEY SPEND THE ENTIRE DAY EXCAVATING IT, AND AS NIGHT FALLS, IN THE GLOW OF A TORCH, THEY FINALLY MANAGE TO UNCOVER A METALLIC RECTANGLE WITH A MYSTERIOUS “AW” SYMBOL AND A DIGITAL MONITOR THAT USED TO COUNT DOWN THE TIME. TOGETHER THEY TRANSPORT THE CAPSULE TO THEIR SHELTER. USING TOOLS, THEY MANAGE TO OPEN THE MYSTERIOUS OBJECT.

INSIDE THEY FIND EXTRAORDINARY TREASURES: FIVE AVI-8 DRONES, A SET OF CLOTHES, A FLAG, AND THE PROPHECY DISK - AN ARTIFACT THAT DECADES EARLIER BECAME ONE OF LILY CADIEUX'S MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.
INTRIGUED BY THE FIND, THE WOULD-BE WALKERS PUT ON THE FOUND CLOTHES, ACTIVATE THE FLAG DISPLAYING THE “AW” SYMBOL, AND THEIR CURIOSITY IS ALSO AROUSED BY METALLIC OBJECTS IN AN UNUSUAL SHAPE - THE MEANING OF WHICH THEY DO NOT YET UNDERSTAND.

THE THREE MAGI
THAT SAME NIGHT, THEIR SHELTER IS VISITED BY THREE MYSTERIOUS MEN. DRESSED IN WHITE, WITH LIGHT-UP MASKS COVERING THEIR FACES, THEY BRING WITH THEM A HUGE CLOTH, WHICH THEY HANG ON THE BALCONY. WHEN THE FABRIC BEGINS TO EMIT A HOLOGRAM, IT SHOWS INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACTIVATION - DEPICTING THE UNFOLDING OF THE METALLIC OBJECT AND ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO AN AVI-8 DRONE.

INSPIRED BY THE MESSAGE, THE NEW WALKERS SET OUT TO RETRIEVE THE ABANDONED METALLIC PARTS THEY FOUND EARLIER. TOGETHER, THEY BEGIN THE PROCESS OF ACTIVATING THEM, UNAWARE YET THAT THEIR EVERY STEP IS BEING WATCHED.

IN THE DISTANCE, THEY ARE WATCHED OVER BY WALKER #83 - ONE OF THE MEN, A SURVIVOR AND ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE MOVEMENT, WHO BELIEVES THAT THEY ARE THE KEY TO REBUILDING THE WORLD.
