【Chill】Koda - Emerald Dreams 

so we meet again Koda, so many years have gone only for us to cross paths again.

How has this masterpiece still not seen the light of day? It's been years. This song takes the breath out of your soul and gives it back to you

All of Koda's songs make you think of life I have never heard a bad track from him!

Listening to this after few years, seeing the young myself drowning in depressions... hahaha you aint gonna feel anything at all in the end, enjoy the sorrow.

This was just one of a few songs in a playlist I had made during a period of my life that was extremely difficult. I haven't heard it in maybe 4 years. I was attending university at the time. The first of my family to do so. I was on the GI bill. The love of my life left me for reasons I'll still never understand, but that's ok I'm at peace with that now. However I started failing classes in the midst of my sorrow. Survivors guilt was settling in. I became affraid to fall asleep in fear of my dreams. I couldn't find peace in anything but my creative writing class. Which I wrote poetry and short stories while listening to that playlist. I failed every class that semester but that one. Afterwards I had no where to go that summer so I ultimately became homeless. I became completely disconnected from technology and society. I lived, or squatted rather, in an abandoned cabon in the mountains. Across the highway lived a lonely man named Rudy. He was in his 70s. He lived a simple life in a yurt hidden from society. Rudy was mostly senile, but I helped him any way I could in his old age until he died not much longer after I met him. I was able to get the sheriff to contact his brother to tell him about Rudys passing. Which eventually his brother hired me to clean up Rudys yurt and property. I found out that Rudy was a green barret in Vietnam and a silver star recipient. I also found out that he was abandoned by his father in a letter I discovered that was extremely hard on him, writen while his father was on his death bed. I wept so much over the knowledge of this situation. The new knowledge felt all to familiar. It was extremely difficult to take the payment from his brother, but I had no choice since winter was nearing and I had no means to survive it in the mountains. With that money I was able to start a lease on an apartment, I began work as a tire shop manager for over 2 years. With my savings I was able to put myself back into school while living comfortable as of 2 months ago. Without Rudy I would not have had this opportunity. Without this music I would not have had the creative drive to push myself forward in life. The rush of emotions I get from listening to this song is humbling and somber to my memories. If you are struggling keep pushing, find anything to make you take even one more step. You just might find a "Rudy" of your own.

Looking at you, thinking about you, dreaming about you. The day goes on.

This will always be my go-to relaxing song, it's been almost a full year since I heard it on your Love Your Life mix and I've listened to it daily since.

”Accidently” created words 3:08 - 3:35 I'm just like the moon without her sun Nameless wonderer living in a van. Chaos is my virtue but never an option Leaving behind once beloved nation. Colliding galaxies, black holes in the dark Seeing your lifeless gaze for the last time Before leaving this place which started to fall apart. As I said I'm just like the moon without her sun Nameless wonderer living in a van...

the track is amazing and the photo just brings it to life! beautiful

Such a beautiful song ✨❤️✨❤️

incredibly beautiful

Arctic, you never fail to find amazing songs. :D

You know that maths exam you had a couple of weeks back? I had one today. I fucked it up. I NEEDED this to chill me out, because I'm piiiiisssed XD Such a beautiful song

If you like Koda I would recommend listening to Arcade Fire's soundtrack for the film Her. It's a little different but it inspires similar feelings out of me!

Revisiting older songs and contemplating life....

this should be among the very top from KODA

just spent the last 12 hours with A-E's mixes and tracks in the background... time to sleep. :3 TY FOR THE MUSIC.

Can Koda even create a bad song?

There was a girl who dream the scale, Beyond the mystic, unknowable vale. From starlight bring a chance to claim, Down to path to heavenly fame. And there the world be not before, But something strange of grand galore. To there within the sight behold, A ripple space that torn the old.

Love the intro of the drums! Keep em coming!

Official Pinguen hahaaha, we all fuck up at math exams, I felt like the same happened to me man (still haven't gotten the results). I got your back bro!

3:08 is lit

We shed our skin in ephemeral waters, so cool The drops of essence that lit the underwater candle flame, This dream inside of gods minds eye, The spirit of motion and the appreciation of shape and the gratitude for our songs, Black moth flits by the vision of one during Junes effulgent hours, White moth finds the underwater flame by the lambency of Nyxs' domain. An echo forever fills this place, the halls of Amenti, Renewed are we after the aqua slough, the next step proceeds unrehearsed. TFPL x
