Caspian - "Hymn For The Greatest Generation" (audio) 

Some of the most beautiful music ever written. I feel bad for people who haven't heard this.

this song might be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me

Thank god music like this exists. I discovered Caspian when I was in college back in '07-08' and this band, Maserati, American Football, Unwed Sailor, If These Trees Could Talk, Tristeza-the greats of post-rock, really-were all that kept me from offing myself. I still love Caspian, and this is no exception.

I know it's not some official video, but this visual is just... perfect.

The whole song is beautiful. but I love how real the acoustic guitar sounds in the beginning.

I never thought that a song would cheer my life in such a way that I forgot the pain

This is the kind of music that just lifts you up from the depths of depression and makes you feel again. I love it!

Why hadn't I heard of these guys before? Definitely a worthy addition to my mental catalog of post-rock bands.

"This ain't no sweet guitar this is emotion like real emotion."

If all of humanity were wiped out and our remains were discovered in millennia, and all that was left was this video and music, they would think we were beautiful.

When I first heard this song I almost bursted into tears. It is so moving and I love listening to the wonderful price of music. I’m so glad I found this song and listened to it or I would never had felt this moved by one song. ❤️

The title of this song makes me really sad. Actually, it's hard for me to listen to this song because I start to get really emotional. My grandfather is a member of the greatest generation (WWII vet) and I knew several others while I worked at an assisted living facility. Such gentle, wonderful people. We'll lose so much when they're gone.

I keep coming back to this. It never gets old..

Few bands can achieve such emotional heights.

My grandmother who was one of the greatest generation passed away 2 weeks after her 92nd birthday 3 years ago. She shared a birthday with me and this song always reminds me of her while bringing me to tears.

this kind of music will save the world.

I started shivering and got goosebumps all over!

Don't usually listen to music like this, was introduced by my Son. Can honestly say, I don't regret it. I've never known an instrumental track to make me feel simultaneously exhilarated and sombre. What an incredible track, thank you Caspian, thank you Son.

Never knew this existed until a friend told me to check this song out. I'm wondering why/how I lived without knowing before?! Such a beautiful song...

This song heals my soul a little bit

Caspian just keeps getting better with every release. Amazing song guys.

Fell asleep to this last night, it was amazing

The incredible Ricky Gervais series After Life brought me here and I am so grateful! What beautiful music

Ive listened to this 10 times and its still just as amazing as the first time I listened to it

TOO GOOD!

It´s magic, wonderful... It´s an Hymn.

This song is gold! Listening to this song in the background of an episode from After Life gave chills.

I cried a little. In memory of Chris!

It's been years and this still blows me away. I really hope there's more coming soon. Can never get enough of these guys

Not sure if I'll ever get married, but I want this song playing on my funeral if not a wedding

stunning. i love the hints of pedal steel in this work.

This song is the reason I haven't commited suicide in this pandemic. Thank god I discovered this song.

omg i am almost cryin

Seeing them and 65daysofstatic live, together

I've listened to this too many times to count since they announced it this past week. Favorite of theirs instantly. And that's saying quite a bit. Can't love it enough!

Just found this track. Incredible. What a tribute!

What makes this so powerful is that country vibe. Great effects.

absolutely amazing, breathtaking

Keep calm and keep smiling every day, because of you... Pam. This song is our song of dawns. :)

I’ve just recently been turned on to this band..... better late than never. Fantastic stuff!! Their song Crawlspace got me hooked. That song sent me on an emotional journey. Great music! 👍🤘

oh man , that will be a match made in heaven

doctor : you have 7 mins to live me : *plays this*

Jaz Coleman or Peter Hook could give this to one of their pet orchestras to cover. i’d completed burying our 14 yr old black Lab Peppa & sat back with muddy shovel staring at the graves’ heap of soil with this loudly coming from the Erbauer Builders Radio & out across the neighbourhoods gardens . with us having listened to the tune during our times on the forest heaths it provoked my bawling my eyes out for the first time for 25 years . Thanks Caspian. ❤️

This is really incredible.

AMAZINGLY AMAZING

Beautiful!!!!

And they say modern music is dead.

Job 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

Is our song. :) All the dawns, All the nights...Every single day

Thank you!!

Rock Sound, fancy seeing you here! ;)

This song is my favorite song of all time.

Otra obra maestra.

Bless you Ricky

Simply, I Love it ♥ :'3

I hope someone makes a heartfelt video with this song to photos and stock video footage from our grandparent's generation/ww2. Families bidding their fathers, brothers and sons, wives, sisters and daughters farewell as they head off to fight for freedom, the life back home during that time, families reuniting afterwards, maybe some of sacrifice and loss of life. Then maybe ending up with a slideshow of veterans comparing pictures of them then to newer photos of them in old age with their kids, grandkids, and great grandkids with them. I think I'd break down a bit at a video like that.

Me fui a la chucha con esta canción. Es maravillosa.

it's the second "Sycamore" for me

Remarkable.

nos canta el corazón y late fuerte

❤

Yeah.

🖤

RIP Chris

thumgs up if you watched the whole video :) RIP Chris

!meditation!

why am i crying (T_T )

This is what classical music would be like if electric guitars and drums were used hundreds of years ago.

Such a contrast from modern culture that almost despises the elderly and their wisdom. No 'generation' is perfect or unique. We are all going through our journeys as best we can on this planet. Fighting for a destiny or purpose. A distinct meaning that makes life great. Whatever generation you are. Whether young or old...you contributed to the cosmic tapestry that is the cycle of life. Part of this chain that has been ongoing for many millennia. Salute the elders who came before. They have both wisdom and sacrifice whether we realize it or not. One day we will join them as well...and the cycle continues for another generation.

The Real Post/Rock!!!

Man.

Someone teach me this on guitar.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes, but only if it will listen.

Ummmmmm...I must be missing something here or somehow the comments for another song/video have accidently ended up on this page.

Would anyone know where to find the guitar tabs? Much appreciated.

:)
