Clannad Soundtrack: Track 4: Town, Flow of Time, People 

Even if this track is overused during the whole series, it's never annoying. Just too beautiful and touching...

"I hate this town..."

Can't listen to this without getting goosebumps all over my body. Powerful track.

You MUST listen to this with a good pair of earphones / headset. The beginning music/hums occasionally shifts focus from one ear and back to the other in a pretty cool way.

This song is clannad to me

I still remember when I was 16 years old and saw the anime for the first time. A lot of time has passed since then.

I feel so empty after watching Clannad...

Before Clannad I have NEVER cried over an Anime Then when my friends forced me to watch Clannad I thought it would be the same. But then after those 2 hours of crying over after story... I think that's changed... I really love this anime. Its my favorite one. This piece murders my feelings but its one of my favorite pieces next to Shining in the Sky, Nagisa, and Dango Daikazoku.

Surreal, mysterious, and melancholy. Dang, this is good. This song is Clannad.

"I hate this town... this town is teasing us... it gives us happiness... and then snatches it away from us in a blink of an eye..." why did tomoya have to lose nagisa AND ushio... WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THIS?!?!?!? :'( *cries for the next 20 years of my life non stop*

Ugh I remember this music during the sad scenes and now all the feels and rushing up to my eyes D:

Nagisa and Ushio are in a state of quantum superposition- being alive and dead simultaneously. It all depends on how many goddamn ORBS YOU COLLECTED

This song gives me goosebumps all across my skin. Still can't forget about how clannad moved me.

My desk is littered with tissues right now. I have never cried so much over an anime in my life.

It has been a long time this anime but always make me sad

The most emotional song in the game/anime IMO

I watched this anime 5 years ago and this song still makes my eyes water, I'm not going to spoil it for anyone but this anime will touch every emotion you have at some point throughout it, a true Masterpiece this was

Clannad is so very very special to me. I will never forget watching it for the first time.

Dude all these folks talking bout hearing this song and being sad. but all I can think is how good the song sounds. honestly this was a good anime and I do respect yall feelings.

where the hell did these onions come from...

This song has the feel of underlying magic. Not in the forefront but still quietly in the background.

"The day before yesterday I saw a rabbit yesterday it was a deer and today it's you." -Kotomi 2008

I can't listen to this song with out tears slowly starting to form and roll down my face

"I hate this town. It’s too filled with memories I’d rather forget. I go to school every day, hang out with my friends, and then go home. There’s no place I’d rather not go ever again. I wonder if anything will ever change? Will that day ever come?"

i don't always cry but when i do it;s because of clannad / clannad afterstory

This is wild, when i was a huge anime nerd 15 years ago i watched Clannad like 20 times. It really, really messed me up badly in a good way. Obviously, After Story (season 2) being the main component. I was just a mid teenager and had many quite unusual issues. On the outside i was very extroverted and popular, mostly to cover up my insecurities. I mostly wanted to be alone most of the time, so it was more of a mask. Nowadays, after it turned out i had a disease since my childhood explaining all my issues, after it broke through completely a couple of years ago i sit here in a completely ravaged body at the age of 30. I lost my soon-to-be-wife, my family, my friends, my career, my finances, my home (if i ever had one), my body. Everything. A few days ago i decided to rewatch Clannad, for some odd reason. I thought i still remembered it all, what happens to Nagisa, Ushio, etc. The weird thing is, i did not remember that in the end it all came back to them all being fine. I remembered it just being like them both dying, or at least Nagisa being dead for sure. Whats even weirder is, once i realized it, i remembered that i rewatched Clannad already like 5 years ago once and had the exact same thing happen. I remembered them both dying only. I was gut punched, crying my eyes out, partially about the story and characters and partially about my own life, and then the resolution. Only that im still me, stuck with my life. Happy for some ficitional characters. Clannad for sure has some moments of cliche by now and there is a lot of fan service in the first season, but it still is an amazing story with really really good characters. I will never have a child at this point, not for physical reasons but all the other ones, but Ushio is like the cutest child ever lol. I think everyone would love to have a kid like that, or maybe most parents feel that way about their children even if theyre not. I dont know. Clearly, not every parent...

I've just started to watch Clannad, (I'm on episode 4 at the moment), but I had to stop and find this track. It's so peaceful yet so powerful. I love it.

flow of time is what this song is...a past memory, broken promises, something forgotten but sometimg warm ...

樋上いたるさんまじでKeyに戻ってきて欲しいなぁ 最近も活動してるけどやっぱりこの頃が1番輝いてたな 一時期は時代を築いた方だったもんなぁ…本当CLANNADは神すぎ

I just LOVE the music in Clannad. Each OST is like a masterpiece in it's own way

This is far away from wonderfulness... I love this so much that I can't explain it with words what I feel...

This song gave me a painful flash back to 10th grade when i watched this series (at the time of writing this comment i am going into to college).

My favorite track of Clannad and yes, this is the best music from the soundtrack.

This is the most beautiful soundtrack ever, it has been my favorite since the last 10 years

After playing the VN for 127 hours throughout a whole year, this track is just too strong.

The perfect OST doesn’t exist some may say but I think otherwise 😤 this is such a beautiful song

You know when you start hearing this in the background, shit's about to go down

I feel the same way Okazaki does in the first part of Clannad currently. I'm still waiting for things to get better.

Amazing! One of my favorite anime osts ever

The whole show was enlightening and sad. After watching it for the first time, I didn't cry because I unconsciously kept waiting for "the big sad" to happen (didn't know what, just knew by others that the show was sad) and thus semi-ruined the emotional experience for myself. Word of advice: don't tell people to watch Clannad because it's sad. Tell them to watch Clannad because it's good.

This sounds really means a lot for me I remember when I was kid me and my friend used to run along the green field But now she’s is gone I feel I have left something important behind the time Life is unfair 😓😓

Even today my soul still hurts every time I heard this.

2022 and still listening. It's always nostalgic for me to listen to this ost especially when raining

Why do I keep thinking that the picture is zooming in? Am I the only one who thinks it appears that way?

It really makes one aware of the flow of the time

Had to post it here with this ost, Its Oct. 2020 and I rewatched Clannad from beginning to end, to fully take in everything. There was a lot of foreshadowing and queues in the show that indicated what really happened. Kotomi mentioned the secret world her parents researched on. With gravity and objects existing in a multi-dimensional plane that correlates to their world. The emotions and thoughts of someone can be a result of what occurs in their world. Tomoya always hated the city in the beginning and did a lot of bad things, therefore his light was unfruitful. Miyazawa talked about the orb of lights that can be seen by a few persons, which grants any wish you have in the city. Ushio in the end world talked about the lights being so faint but all together can have a great impact or force. After meeting Nagisa, tomoya helped people to the extent of pure happiness, he literally went all out. His light became fruitful and even after the fight with his dad when he proposed to Nagisa. He wanted to run away from the city again. But Nagisa supported him right throughout. Which I believe is the main reason why he loved her so much. She really knew him and knew how to support and love him despite everything. The correlation between both worlds is amazing. When ushio lost her robot toy in the sunflower field, I believe was the robot she built in the end world that was we learned to know was Tomoya. The story that Nagisa and Tomoya knew in the play about the end world was because of Ushio. In these worlds, time was NOT linear, meaning it didn't flow in one direction, the only thing connecting both worlds were the feelings and emotions of the people in the city. Nonetheless, I CRIED at literally every sad scene in this show, even from the first season. But the show was overall very emotional and subliminally creative and I watch a lot of anime. But Clannad is still a classic. Careful what you do and treat others well, you definitely reap what you sow.

I cant even begin to explain how beautiful this anime is

This OST makes me sad and calm at the same time. Love this.

2021 moment who up rn

Just started playing this a few days ago, not going to scroll too far into the comments but wish me luck as I’m coming to this from Higurashi and Muv-Luv… LETS SEE HOW MUCH DEPRESSION MY BODY AND MIND CAN HANDLE

This is so saaaaaaaaad I want to cry

Clannad was the first anime i eved watched, i hope one day i can find it on a streaming service so i can watch it again

This song makes me want to cry and happy at the same time.

This hits different

The only anime that made me cry

4k likes. Nice. Anyway this sound track is splendid. First time I watched Clannad I was much younger, and even then, I felt the emotion expelled from this series in waves. Especially at times where this very soundtrack played. And not every anime can do that to me. This one, though, is a masterpiece. Great characters, great development, great comedy, and fantastic drama. 9/10

All these years and it still manages to get me in the feels. I love this anime, for giving me my motivation in life....and tearing my heart into a million little pieces

I finished watching Clannad and i have nothing to do now !!!!!

This soundttack really elevated the emotion of all the scenes it was in❤. Sincerelly, if the soundtraxk wasn''t as good as it is, i wouldn't like this series so much😭.

This song is so good and Clannad and Clannad After Story were great and lol i cried watching it lol glad my friend told me about this anime i never watched a Romantic Anime but sure am glad i did.

Many anime and video games have great music, and this is out of this world!

I can remember all the parts where every single song or fragment of music fits into. I am obsessed with Clannad and have watched it more than 20 times. Every time I still cry. I love the plot and everything!!!

I always cry CLANNAD クラナド=ベストとすごいねと=BEST ANIME 4 EVER ^^

Earlier today i went to start re-watching Clannad, and when this song started playing at the beginning of the first episode I could already feel the tears welling up.

This song makes you feel different emotions. And it's very powerful with it's composition. Not only can this be used on serious scenes but it also fits with non-serious ones

I had an automatic response to this song and started tearing up. I forgot that I was crying pretty much any time this song was playing. It's like pavlov's dog.

this OST is enough to make my heart crumble to peaces and I am called the heartless jerks by my friends and I never cried to any anime except this one

Takes me to another place. This soundtrack is amazing.

This OST is so depressing and empty. I remember having this stuck in my head around 2 years ago when I was having a bad day at school

Растворяя осколки грёз мы вспомним вдруг о былом, тень ошибки из детских слёз, с ней и живём. Время жить, время умирать, не время нам о судьбе другой мечтать. Не вернуть былого вновь, прости меня мой дом родной!

I just want to hug Nagisa.

It was so apprehensive. This kind of music made me question my own life.

This could be BGM in an RPG, like when you visit a village that still practices old traditions.

God bless this anime

This is my first 2007 anime and its amazing but i think i have heard this soundtracks before but idk why or when maybe its Just bc they are made to be nostalgic

Watched the opening sence of Clannad jus now and instantly came looking for this song. ITS SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL !!!! 😭😭❤

I love how it starts with Tomoya's narration about hating everything.

Love this I was Listening to this while walking to school and couldn’t help but get emotional over the song

This is how nostalgia sounds

This track is so meaningful, everytime I think of clannad, I think of this soundtrack. I can so damn relate to the protagonist at this time of the anime. God damn.

It's really hard not to get depressed when listening to this. This song has been in the background of so much...

Whenever I listen this I remember my last last old painful days of school .

So beautiful😭..

still absolutely insane after more than 10 years

damn i thought i was over this show after all of these years but here i am getting all chocked up listening to this track...

It sounds sad yet mysterious at the same time

I love this soundtrack the most.

i've never cried from watching or listening to anything before but this anime has a way of moving me in a way that i've never felt before and just listening to this track brings tears to my eyes

This song defines sadness..

Dam this soundtrack just makes me go into deep thought man am I the only one?

Wow. The song makes the picture move. When I stopped the song it doesn't move and when I play it does. I looked very closely and it never moves when it's not playing.

Its been a few years now after watching clannad but this music...

This one track got me to watch the whole show; it is now in my top 10 shows of all time.

i loved it when this came on and Tomoya was in his thoughts..i could relate to him so much

this beat is so deep ! th'ats really catchy it 's take you to another world

Everytime this theme played in the anime I got chills

OGs like me who played the visual novel remember spamming these tracks in the music player as they were unlocked in the game.

This is the one that makes me the saddest...

One of the best ost of the world with nagisa main theme
