People do not understand how amazing this music is. This is a gem I keep coming back to...

@Naphto22 2 месяца назад

Revisiting for over 7 years. The drum solo takes me to a spiritual world.

@unknown8332 6 лет назад

@3:30 onwards is literally one of the most magical pieces of music that will ever be created. Some serious "tunnel" music here.

@deanowlord1 7 лет назад

This actually changed my life.

@marlonborreo 8 лет назад

Thank God for Bill Laurance. And this absolute visual hi-def feast of a video. It's like treating my eyes and ears to a most blissful spa.

@BrendanNagy 9 лет назад

Now I know why the solo stops at 6:11. That recovery.

@Zsnakeistaken 7 лет назад

I always assumed it was supposed to be there. it fits so well

@uncommonmix 6 лет назад

The Circumstances make the music, in a sence, it was to supposed to be there ;)

@BongoBaggins Год назад

Sput always plays to complement a song, he never overpowers it. Bit he really took control and shone in this, it was almost Nick Mason-esque in its power. Faultless

@Scarecrow6459 9 лет назад

Dat Steve Urkel shirt doe... it is so apt for Sput's solo towards the end of the song.

@mgladrummerforlife 9 лет назад

Love it! And the drum solo, so open, but made so much sense; It was like creating a story.

@sapichay 9 лет назад

sin palabras, no se puede explicar la magia que transmite estos temas, gracias por compartirlo

@jerrymasters2691 Год назад

I heard the story of my life in that drum solo

@marshallt94 8 лет назад

Also Andy laviolette kills it on this one with the video editing

@emarinm1 4 года назад

It's weird, but it reminds me of where I lived when I was little ... wonderful, unsurpassed

@althejazzman 9 лет назад

Michael League is now so God-like he has worked out how to clone himself for this video.

@benjaminfehderau237 9 лет назад

If Sput's headphones didn't fall off, my favourite part of the solo wouldn't have happened. Fate? I guess haha

@leirMedia 9 лет назад

Jajajja yes is just terrific

@gabrielferrarimusic6795 4 года назад

Just magic ! So glad they kept this take !!!

@misterbrocoli 4 года назад

Exactly

@yesloow 8 месяцев назад

On the album it’s an inspired break when in reality it was the headphone falling off and him having to stop to readjust them! Brilliant!

@101xaplax101 9 лет назад

omg that was brilliant!!! the drumming just freaked me out.......the arrangement was equally amazing......perfection, perfection, perfection......i want to play it again but i'm afraid to. i want to savor the memory of it and the feeling that pervades. gawd.....how can you guys be this good?

@tjamas7498 8 лет назад

@albe1216 9 лет назад

@ccadevllcadams5505 8 лет назад

No words at all...... Wow!!! Just when you think that they have reached the top they go beyond into another element of greatness.....

@jackchito 4 года назад

Beautiful song accompanied by a group of incredible musicians.

@brycemillikin 6 лет назад

One of the most beautiful - and inspiring [as a composer] - pieces I've heard in a LOOONG time! Great work Bill and everyone involved.

@andrewxu3602 3 года назад

Listening to this with thunder in the background helps with the mood.

@jake7671 9 лет назад

Ive listened to this song loads but only just saw the video. I thought that break in the drum solo was to let the song breath not just his headphones falling off haha

@Michael-kv5of 7 лет назад

I've had a hard go at things, recently. This song's beauty helps me feel more happiness. Thanks for sharing.

In case you're still searching... Bittersweet, you come to me and say That at the time, it was right Oh what a way, to walk away Satisfied, he knows you’re taking over But hold yourself, nobody else When you want to discover You, find a way through

@GeoffreySkinner 9 лет назад

I like. I had a bit of flashback (in a good way) to Pink Floyd's Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun when I listened to it

@@davidwalts4589 Yep and they were recorded right out of the box too!

@yesloow 8 месяцев назад

Seriously! Until I saw this video, I had always figured it was an electronic kit with tuned samples. The snare is so crisp and the toms so robust

Inspired by norwegian fjords?

Love this but how is Michael playing bass and mandolin and presumably slide guitar all in the same take ;)

What are these headphones they're all wearing? I'm in the market. I play bass and was going to go for the good ol sennheiser. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

Слишком длинный и скучный фрагмент от4:20 до 6:47 портит впечатление от композиции в целом хорошей.

@callahanjohnson 9 лет назад

Not a fan of adding lyrics to Bill Laurance's music. Not a huge fan of Prologue: Fjords or U-Bahn because of that. Love the rest of the album, though. And Flint was great.
