Arrival of the Birds (Extended) 

making algebra homework sound like saving the universe

"Remember to look up at the stars, and not down at your feet" -Stephen Hawking

"intelligence is the ability to adapt to change" -Stephen Hawkings

“Something good is about to happen” I get this feeling when I hear this.

I feel so blessed to be unified with those of you who have found the profoundness of this music!

Howevery bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope. Stephen Hawking (1942-2018)

Not to sound all melancholy but I feel that this is what it sounds like when your life is flashing before you, before leaving this earth. All the beautiful happy and sad moments. The moments worth remembering, knowing that you lived and you did your best, and that everything you were searching for was within you the entire time. We are all made of stars, we are all connected with each other and the universe. 😌

LOOK. . . WHAT. . . WE. . .MADE

I didn't get to live in the Ages of Galileo, Newton, Curie or Einstein. But Stephen Hawking was our Age. And how fortunate we are for that.

This piece touches my soul like no other. It brings me to tears every time.

The problem with reality is that there is no background music

study to this... it will make even the most boring assignment feel enlightening ;)

The is beauty in everything. But not everyone can see it. ~Confucius

anyone listening this masterpiece during corona(covid-19) pandemic

This makes me feel melancholy and elated all at once.... introspective and extrospective and all points in between; on the ground and in flight, wings fully extended and wingless. A trip gladly taken.

When you solve the problem on your homework that everyone is complaining about

I cried a lot when i got my pilot license! I though was impossible.. and anybody believed in me. It's awesome.

Everytime when i feel down, when i want to quit, when i'm not motivated or inspired, i play this son and magically my heart, my mind, my soul and the whoooooooole fucking universe explodes inside of me and brings me to the center of my self again!!! Thank you!

I listen to this song when the pollution of the world weakens me. It gives me hope that beautiful things are still possible.

i lost my beloved cat, Pearl< today. my heart is broken. i find solace in the beauty of this song.

This song is just... I can't express what I feel whenever I listen to it. It takes me to another dimension, jeez! What a masterpiece!

Would a 10 hour version be possible?

A while back, my husband suffered from dementia. When it came time for me to clean him, he could be a might bit trying and as you know they can't help it. I would play this piece, not for him but for me. It helped me to stay calm in turn helping him stay calm. He has since passed and now hearing this beautiful piece is a bittersweet memory.

dad sent this to me he said: "listen to this at night while sleeping, it will make you more intelligent and relax you"

Rest In Stars Stephen Hawking ;(

this whole soundtrack is a masterpiece. rest in peace Jóhann Jóhansson, thank you for your wonderful contributions to the world.

I have a feeling that I am going to loose my mom who is fighting with covid. This music kind of summarizes her life: hope and despairs .

Found this masterpiece even before it came out in TOE movie, never gets old, goes deeper in your heart, each time you listen to it. 🎧🌠💜

Stephen was specially abled. He couldn't even move enough to write or hold a chalk. Imagine what possibilities the man could've reached with just the power to write on a chalk board. Imagine what discoveries he could introduce to mankind. Imagine how his curious heart would've felt if he just lived a year more to see the first image of a black hole, something he spent his whole life in the study of. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine. That's what he'd want for all of us to do.

This part of the soundtrack is simply one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

I'm listening to this right now and all of a sudden my garden is full of birds. There are 3-4 different kinds of birds searching the leaves... Magical

"A Stephen le dieron dos años de vida en 1963 y luchó contra esa miserable enfermedad hasta este año (2018)...fue como si un gigante hubiera sido derribado, cuando nosotros pensábamos que era inmortal. Creo que eso fue lo que sentimos todos" Jane Wilde

doing maths while listening to this feels like i just found the cure for cancer

*Stop reading comments. You have exams soon. Just listen and study*

I listen to this nearly every time I do creative homework and It completly changes my thinking

Let me just have a shout out to which ever composed this like seriously do you know how much effort this must of been to make? Hats off to the composer

Rest in peace Dr. Hawking.. you will always be inspiration to countless humans

I played this for my mother while she lay dying. The music is so emotionally moving, and now I think of her when I play it.

My experience as a professional musician - successful pianist, composer, arranger, songwriter, and 28+ year veteran music educator - gives me small amount of "music authority" ... Nevertheless, I am as "moved" as a child or anyone else with no music experience when I hear this piece. It has this beauty that goes far beyond analyzing "what makes it tick". It was such a fitting addition to the soundtrack of THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING. It musically describes the movie: a story of brilliant intelligence woven into a beautiful and tragic love story ... as sweetly stated below, this music touches my soul.

Perfect song to listen to when you're solving math assignments.

I feel like floating and flying in this music. It’s like I’m being pulled out off the Earth and just floating around the Universe seeing new lives form before my eyes. Also I like to imagine this was the background music in my dreams where I was floating or flying. A masterpiece indeed. Couldn’t imagine my life without this music.

i haven't watched the movie but just listening to this music makes my heart explode and melt, bloom and cry at the same time. It's sad and motivational and there is no soundtrack that could beat this, to make me feel so much, like watching the movie without even watching the movie.

This is on loop when I study for my PhD.

This song is the most touching and beautiful song I've EVER heard in my life!!!!!!! So amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

I can fly................................................................... thanks for the extended

You must protect your beautiful thoughts. You must. There is a lot of pessimism in this world that wishes to see them disappear yet there are many more people who will benefit from the beauty that exists in your mind and heart. That is why you must protect your beautiful thoughts. They are ingenious because they hold solutions and unravel details in things and events that hold the possibility of radically transforming our world. Every human being has something inside of them I believe that plays a crucial role in moving time forward into an era where we can all thrive. You must protect your beautiful thoughts but that does not mean that you should lock them inside of yourself. Remember, the flight of the bird amazes us but how much will it touch us if the bird is locked inside a cage? Unleash your flight and the beauty that you see in the world inside yourself. Let it pour out of you into the world protected simply by a divine vision and understanding that everything is connected and that there is harmony in both good and bad. Beautiful people find the way where there is no path to be taken and that is why those people become our heroes, our leaders and our inspiration. To protect beauty is to speak for the poor and shield the innocent and ponder about the journey a flower makes from seed to blossom. What beauty exists in you? Do you let it speak to you and tell you what a marvel this world is?

I love how this music connects us all to the same essence, I pray life comes together in peace and our history prints into a memory that never dies 🙏🏻

It's so much harder now that he's gone. I dedicated my year project to him... I played a recording of him afterwards, and I couldn't finish my speech without crying. Thank you, Stephen Hawking.

When all seems hopeless and dark, when your life is like a dark room without light... this song is like a door that someone opens in that room... the melody help me to go out from my bad thoughts, thank you everybody works on it.

If you are listening to this music, you are a legend.

The best guess of differential calculus that I have found.

it makes me fly.....

moving, touching, inspiring... I'm in awe every time I listen to this extremely wonderful creation.. and I listen to it most of the time

When I was a child, I was fascinated with the concept of flight- for your feet to come off the ground, to defy human gravity, and feel free was a childhood dream. I vividly remember a project I once had where I took fuzzy wires, cheap tape, and colorful feathers and tried creating wings for myself. I never finished them. Maybe it was because I realized, after looking at various pictures of birds and their light bodies, that I was too heavy. But my hope to one day fly never died. Now at 19 years old and at the cusp of turning 20, I'm on the edge- literally and metaphorically. I'm about to end my teens and become a true adult. This fact of life wasn't one I was introduced to sweetly but rather painfully, within a deep state of depression with no idea of who I am or where I want to be. I stand at the edge of a cliff and I won't lie when I say I had considered ending it all. But deep inside me, past the temporary pain, I still want to soar. Despite my current state of depression from this pandemic not only do I still carry that childhood dream to defy gravity but I want to defy all odds and prove wrong to those who don't believe in me. It was just last night when my dad told me about hang gliding. Ever since then, the thought hasn't left me- the possibility of actually flying! It's something that makes my current struggles worth fighting. Naturally, I'm scared and nervous about taking on this activity but as the maxim goes "hope is stronger than fear". I hope that one day I'll finally get to fly among the birds and clouds feeling truly free and at ease. I hope to do just that with this exact same music playing. May all of you find a dream that makes life worth pursuing

I hope nobody will be bullied or anxious all their life. After my anxiety attack, I try to calm down with this music that is incredibly important to me. Please do not offend anyone, nothing is forgotten. At least i am still alive , still strong. But still hurt.

THIS IS THE MEANING OF LIFE

Keys n karates brought me here they added this song to their playlist and I loved it so much I had to find the extended full 💜😍

Had to come listen to this after watching Adam Rippon beautifully skate to it at the Olympics.

Always be thankful for all the little things that life gives you.

I hope this was played at his funeral. The world lost an incredible human being

Johan Johannsson died yesterday. May his music continue to inspire us.

Was casually listening to music while learning and then i found this. Today was a good day.

The first living organism could never have come into existence by chance."

"The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness." "It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life." "We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life."

My heart broke when they went back in time in the movie, when Hawking could walk and dance with his love, it was so effective and hit right in the feels, even after years since last watching the movie. Still remains as one of my all time favourite films to this day.

i couldn’t ever describe how this song makes me feel. this is so powerful. words are not enough, i feel everything.

I haven't even watched this film but this music really makes me teary. I'm not sure whether it's the emotional tune or just thinking about the loss of another great mind that's the cause of it.

❤ les deseo tranquilidad en su corazón a quienes al escuchar esta melodía están tristes. Espero que encuentren paz 💌

you never knew how much you had, until you’ve lost it. those words. tear through my skin reach for my deepest fear losing everything i’ve got and not realising that i’ve lost it till it’s too late to get it back.

Am I the only who feel sad every time hears this piece?

In med school and this makes everything come to life.

I used to listen to this every night to fall asleep. I felt relaxed even seeing it recommended to me

I can't believe the amount of love in all these comments. That's stunning!

I'm just a couple of years younger than Einstein when he published the theory of general relativity or Hawkings when he proved one of his space-time singularity theorems. I don't pretend to be someone like these monsters, but listen to this while doing my research makes me feel a little closer to these geniuses.

It's wonderful when music touches the soul. This piece has a huge impact on me as it is inspiring in it's rhythm and nuance.

listening to this while doing psychology homework makes it so much better :)

At distant measure of time. What is time to us, the way we measure the years. In Physics, it is a variable. In time things change.

It's 19 min. in & still gentle, soft, transparent, radiant, Still flying higher & harder to soaring & swooping & gliding thru' the air. Maybe sliding onto a fragiley frozen lake. Early moring . Son glints down & off of the ice. More radiance. The full spectrum of light flashes thru' the air and dances over the lake. Lazy cirles bring us back to main theme. Expectant, breathless , charmed. Coming home toward the warm light. A fire & cozy clothes to wrap up in. Melting into the warmth, the light, the sound.

Whoa!! this song is very deeply meaningful to me, it's like a sun burning through a storm, the ice melting in the void like a raging fire in a galaxy embedded in the deepest of my soul... awesome!!

Whenever I hear to this music I feel calm and at the same time strong.This music takes me into a different world. A world which is beautiful and unique in it's own way.

Simple it is. Beauty gives joy ; Life ain't a toy. Learn to live ; Live to give. Do what is good ; Be understood. Start near to go really ahead ; Be with God and never be dead. Physics is the language of the universe ; Keep some good deeds always in your purse. Smile on friend ; Life knows no end.

After my beloved father died, I felt numb until I heard this, then everything poured out. Sincere thanks. Bought every album since.

I'm in the gym right now. Blasting out a bench session. I usually have hip hop or rock on the speaker, but I can't stop listening to this masterpiece.

R.I.P. Johann Johannsson and thank you for this masterpiece ♥

This is my new favourite piece of music. I can't stop listening to it.

This masterpiece.. I searched everywhere for it and I sadly gave up after months of trying to find it; years later, here I am, finally found it.

there's lots more beautiful music out there just like this-- stay alive so you can hear it all, okay?

As the migratory birds arrive at my feeders on their annual journey south, this beautiful piece brings a mix of joy, and worry. Joy in seeing and hearing them ... worry over what the future holds for our beautiful, sacred, but out of balance planet.

Well, in't this music composed by Johann Johannson, as also the cover says?

Hard to go through but this song gives hope

I've listened to this at least 5 times today. Great reading music as well. Makes the emotion of everything you're reading amplified.

“Music fills the infinite between two souls.” -Tagore

This makes me feel as though I am soaring above the clouds, looking into a beautiful and infinite sky. One of my favourite pieces of all time. Amazing.

"If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don't let some idiot talk you out of it." -Stan Lee

Everytime I listen to this i get goosebumps, my heart beats feels different i can feel something inside which i cant describe in words and every time i listen this man this is melting my heart .............indescribable

It helps me to organize my thoughts. When I listen to this, I can finally hear myself

Sometimes I have extreme hate on humanity. Sometimes I just want to blow up the whole planet. And every single time this piece of music reverts my distrust in humanity and gives me faith. When you suffer you never think of the sher amount of little but great things god has given to us. Like this song.

This melody takes me to a higher level, it is absolutely inspiring, pure beauty.

My grandma passed about a month ago and i loved her so much, she ment the world too me and we played this at her funeral. Its so magical and it reminds me of her when I hear it , it’s beautiful and she was beautiful
