@@_Jobicomplicated because we own a house , 50%me, 50% the wife, difficult to sell it in a descent price, especially now with this bloody pandemic.. While lawyers trying for a fairly solution, I am looking elsewhere to rent.. (excuse my English)
A few years ago, I tried to listen to Boards of Canada and didn't like it. Now, I come back here and I truly love it unconditionally. I guess my ears weren't ready for it yet. The lesson here is not to judge people who have different taste. It just means that they are not ready yet. Give them time.
I listened to this while hiking alone on the Faroe Islands. The rough, wild nature gave this song a very special meaning. Please listen to this when you are about to do something special. As long as you do it alone - you dont want anyone around then. Unbelievable.
i have the similar experience with this song of explosions in the sky - logic of a dream, you might enjoy it next time you do something special. Lots of love.
I've been searching for this sound, attempting to fabricate what that perfection would sound like. God, I'm so high right now, and its perfectly accompanied by this, like a morning coffee with a hint of hazelnut and vanilla. Whoever comes across this, you're an extraordinary person, you are worthy, and you are so deeply loved by forces that you cannot even comprehend. Time is not of the essence, you will achieve your souls purpose.
I remember driving 3,000 miles from one end of U.S. to another and while passing through South Dakota and Montana (2:40 AM) - this song came on, while doing 75 mph on 80. The only light that shined was the full Moon, stars and my head lights. If anyone has driven on I-90 through SD or MT, at night... you know how dark it gets out there! But that moment was special for me. Just cruising alone, with God-like snowy Mountains beside me, as I drove. The song made me feel scared but more like an "excited fear" but also a very majestic fear, as if I am bowing down to this Earth.This Universe. Now because of that, I have an emotional-connection to this seven minute song 🥰
Skyliner, driving through Banff National Park at 5:21AM as the sun comes over the mountains pouring red orange light into the valley... THAT is a feeling.
Bud this is layered more than a Tokyo high rise. I produce psychedelic trap, and can tell you there’s about 8 different intricate parts being blended together off the main drum pattern. I’ve seen these guys work, it’s pretty complicated.
I come back to listen to this so often, I'm also flipping out with "Aphex Twin - Rhubarb" "Aphex Twin - Stone In Focus" few Brian Eno's songs like "Brian Eno Invisible" (the first result) and a real masterpiece "Just another day" few other songs of Boards of Canada like "Echus", "Olson" or "Left drive side" and then something totally different from the '70s, but maybe one of the most romantic beautiful songs ever written: Jorma Kaukonen - Genesis (live and studio versions are both beautiful) good vibes, let me know ;)
morePrivacyPlease Our brains must share the same music taste Rhubarb and Stone in Focus are a couple of my favorite Aphex Twin songs and seem to bring me into and immediate meditation just like many BoC songs
Look into Solar Fields, Ulrich Schnauss, Emancipator, and Com Truise if you like this! Just enjoy recommending music to people, if you’ve heard of them that’s cool
Everytime I listen to BoC I feel loved, understood and connected - like a spiritual bridge in the form of soundwaves. I love all of you. Be strong, be free.
This track, mostly the beginning, always remind me when during in a snowy afternoon, there was a white german Shepherd following me in the distance on a trail, there was only fields and woods, nowhere to get safe. I didn't know if I should run or keep calm, I kept walking calmly and when the dog was close, he turned out to be friendly. I petted him and called someone to come pick us up, then the owner came a few days later to get him home and thanked us for keeping him safe in our house, lovely encounter and memory...
No. There were two Boeing 757s and two Boeing 767s involved in the 9/11 attacks. The 747 is completely different, much larger plane all together that has a large hump on the top toward the front.
Half right. It is a type of aircraft, but none were used in he September 11th attacks. Two Boeing 767s, smaller planes, hit WTC 1 and 2. A Boeing 757, a little smaller still, hit the Pentagon. However, it could be a flight, of course. Any 2-4 digit number can be a flight.
That part at 2:35 when the angelic choir voices start to pour in like you're on your deathbed but your spouse was kind enough to attach an acid iv into your arm so your soul's memories could transition to the next existence smoothly.
That's the magic of Boards of Canada. I'm pretty sure that, if you just let their songs touch your memories even before your ex present, it will quickly become purely yours.
If sadness had a pretty face, long never ending hair, a warm timeless smile, and a deep mystery in her eyes, an intoxicating gaze that penetrates the soul, for sure, that baddie would be listening to BoC.
I love BoC. It’s just beyond words. The only problem with some of their track is that they sound so perfect sublime and BIG that it makes me feel soooo small in this universe. Their music is unreachable. It’s like forever expanding universe - some say it’s beautiful, but I feel left alone on this weird planet. Kinda same feeling.
@@bustingdogarchive4240 yes, find power in the fact that you can perceive this and move forward in life. Learn and fulfill your self instilled intentions.
You're not alone in this feeling. I think that everyone has experienced something like this and deals with it in their own way. No matter how insignificant we all are compared to the seemingly endless expanse of the universe, there's always meaning to be found in our lives. Some examples that come to mind: creating something beautiful/useful, building healthy and supportive relationships with awesome people, meeting new interesting people, learning something exciting, getting through challenges and hardships, growing as a person, recognising the beautiful chaotic complexity of the universe, discovering order in parts of the chaos, being present. If it's any consolation, no matter how small you feel, you still mean the world to the people who love you.
I was listening this on my first high of mushrooms, I felt like a fetus inside my mother`s uterus and inside of this it was like I was floating away on the fucking cosmos
It's Ok,You're Ok Edit: You can all fuck off with the slander. It's ok, you're ok being a sampled song doesn't make it any less better than this one. Both are good in their own ways. Everyone obviously can have an opinion but bashing this artist's work is unnecessary and plain wicked.
oh my god boards of Canada will forever be my fucking favorite band. im a huge music nerd but no other music makes me feel this excited and weird and happy and sad and AHHHHHHHHHHH. thank you boc. you made me the music lover i am today
If i could press a button that would fix everything for everyone, but i would disappear, i know what my answer would be. But nothing would change. Be the things you want there to be, be happy, and be ready for the pain. Never look back with regret it ruins the effort you put into getting here. Remember what matters even if there's not much. Teach and be taught until death. And never think you dont deserve happiness. I love you all, and even though we'll never meet, i hope you're better off after this. Thank you for trying. Please keep going
That's strange, I had a very similar experience with this track. I'd heard "5D" before so I would've technically heard the start of it, but I remember playing it one morning and being proper spooked.
not just before you ever heard it , sometime it feels ( their songs in general) that you listened the songs even before you were even born . like distant fuzzy memories from some other life or something
I’ve been listening to BOC today and it’s the only thing that battles my suicidal thoughts. I don’t want to be here anymore, and my thoughts remind me of that more and more. Listening to this eases my mind a bit, there is no real direction, no set tone for this type of music and it makes me feel free. Sorry I don’t mean to rant nor am I looking for some sympathy, I just wanted to share what this song does for me. I hope it helps you too. Cheers.
the main thing to remember is that a thought is just that - a thought. You can choose to ignore it. you can choose to think something else. You'll be fine. I believe in you. Hugs sent.
There is no need to consume any kind of stuff to get high since listening to this alone is enough to make me feel like I am travelling from between the clouds to the outer space...
Currently 5 weeks into quarantined pandemic. I'll have moments of anxiety where it'll feel like there's no end in sight, as if I'm trapped. Then I'll have "a moment of clarity" whenever I put on BoC where I'm transported to another dimension or some past life. Feeling warm, comforted, and understood. Stay safe and stay sane.
Im from Argentina mate. I feel and understand every concept on what you say to a degree that I believe we could be interlinked by some crazy cord theory. We are currently on day 86 of quarantine start. Not only BoC but the entire genre has been life saving. Clarity mate, you said so. Stay sane, stay safe!
This song reminds me of the limitless universe and utter bliss, scary and unknown, yet peaceful and guiding. Some many emotions within this song for me. Absolutely adore it!
@@henkverhaeren3759 more like cacoon of the soul, marinating in experience, preparing to take flight into the Void only to emerge again to battle the karmic accrueances of its last go-round.
This song's begginning makes me remember the times of me playing around when I was a kid. Then its starts to go on and I Can remember the good and bad times that made me into the person I am today. Then the ending makes me snap to where I am now
Cevanfx I can imagine a cinematography similar to Samsara, or Baraka, featuring their music as a backdrop. Probably because the film's content isn't all too varied from some of BoC's fan-made videos, such as this one.
I hear birdsong! Layers upon layers of birdsong! And probably a great many other things too, but I've listened to this song for years and only just noticed that. You think you know BOC and they keep surprising you.
I don't think you understand where I'm coming from. I'm not talking about being sad. I'm talking about discovering something so beautiful that it makes me feel like life is already lived, like I have achieved the highest level of happiness and that life is no longer worth living because of this. But I suppose it is kind of a sad feeling at the same time.
if i could best explain this sound, it would be when you stay up all night thinking and its 5 am, youre sitting in bed next to your open window, and its a cold breeze
Chicken Nugget country?! Do I have to fit a BOC dress code too? Like wearring american apparel with the beta new male glasses and tight jeans ? Would being a homosexuality trans gender fluid vegan liberal studying social science/white privilege also be a good etiquette ?
Chicken Nugget enough with the liberal bullshit. You had a nice run now its payback time :) its truly a dream like feeling seeing all you butt hurt libertards crying haha this song sets the mood perfectly.
Is the mise-en-scène of Boards of Canada the same as Vaporwave/Nostalgia music? Huge fan of Boards of Canada but even though they look the same they seem completely different. In my opinion, Boards of Canada is about being where you love, and Vaporwave is about wishing you were somewhere.
found what this track sampled: it was a pbs ident, i think in the late 1990s they had an ident with a person (usually a woman) holding a pbs logo. the background vocals sampled it, but they pitched, slowed, and eq'd it.
This is one of the most emotionaly packed songs I've ever heard. It's sometimes hard to listen to something that's so beautiful and melancholic at the same time. It's very overwhelming, but in a good way.
