Hammock is Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson. Since the band’s founding in 2003, when they began collaborating to escape Nashville songwriting circles, Hammock have released a litany of acclaimed albums, masterfully tracing across sub-genres of post rock, neoclassical, ambient, and electronic.
IT IS TIME . Time to attempt to make the right choices, time to be brave, time to have those difficult conversations with yourself, those around you , and as Human collectives 'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings in the 1800s]
It is difficult, even impossible i dare say, to articulate the emotions i get listening to this masterpiece… i want to thank you from the bottoms of my heart for what you have created… it warms my soul to know that there is still good music being written out there…
This song managed to so fully intwine itself with a time of my life over a decade ago. They are the most vivid memories I possess. Hearing this song is like opening a time capsule containing the emotions, visuals, and ambience of a dear and cherished time. But knowing I cannot ever return to it.
Im going back 34 years ago station at camp Fuji Japan running through a deep green forest sun breaking through the branches man it was awesome to be younger Semper fi brothers
I think this is an extended sequence from the scene around 1:00 in their Tape Recorder video...which is kind of amazing, their music always feels like looking at your life from a different angle
When I'm sad and think of those who have left me through death, I like to listen to this song. I think of my two brothers, my parents and my two cats. They are no more. This song helps me through my sadness.
Is it delusional if for example i imagine mine or someone else’s death to be like this, beautifully devastating scene. But in reality it is only painful and miserable like your body just shuts down slowly and there’s nothing rly pretty about that, like its much better to die when youre in shape
My heart run through all of its expressive cycles while listening to Hammock's music, particularly this tune. Thi is what true, intrinsic, & uplifting music is. To appreciate the joy while also recognizing the sadness ❤
Uwielbiam taką spokojną muzykę. Zapalam kilka świeczek w pokoju zamykam oczy i czuje się jakbym już tutaj nie musiał nigdy wracać :) to są dźwięki szczęścia dla mnie :)
This is what I want to say about this beautiful, tear-inducing emotional track!!! The composition makes you rethink your life, reboot, clear your mind!!! and so, listening to it, I came to the conclusion that I want to keep my soul clean, and not in the dirt, like a pig, so that I can then go into eternity with this gentle, very beautiful composition and a pure soul, into eternity, where there will only be love, joy, freedom, where there will be no lies and pain!!! All the best and health!!! 😊
From my favorite album from Hammock, NWES. I wish they would do more albums like this. So ethereal. I listen to this album on repeat for my long days developing software and writing code. My programming flows like the feelings of this music. I buy all of their albums yet I find their earlier work so much more expressive.
Hammock always evens me out. Would be interesting to see how it affects babies, or kids with ADHD, prisoners, etc. I imagine it would work much like classical music is reported to, calming the mind and body, improving studying, etc.
Refreshing to see that music like this still exists, in the ocean of artists twerking their behinds, lyrics full of debauchery and downright awful taste. Thank you.
