This is the kind of EP that makes you want to start waking up early and drinking coffee with the sunrise and just generally changing your life in small bright ways
I’m sitting crosslegged on the floor, reading this and typing my reply with one hand shading my eyes as the morning sun floods the room. Mug of coffee steaming by my right knee. Big day ahead...
It’s just perfect. I listen to it while doing homework, driving, working out, and even on one of those days when you jus feel like laying down on the bed and doing nothing.
It's really overwhelming to see so many people listening to my silly music on here. Just wanted to say thanks for all the kind comments and for taking the time to listen. It really means the world to me. Hope everyone is doing well, Joel x
Wow... This popped right when I clicked on RU-vid's homepage. It sounds ethereal and calming. It almost reminds me of my non-existent trip to a New York museum, or a morning drive in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the vast sea and the towering trees. It's beautiful how music can take you somewhere you've never been and immerse you right at that moment.
I played this in the morning when the sun was streaming through the windows and I had a cup of coffee in my hand. How was it, you ask (?) Glorious. Absolute bliss.
Hate when people say music nowadays suck, they are so wrong, peoples music taste nowadays suck, which is different. Music like this deserves more attention, this is just a masterpiece.
There are alot of people who are not willing to dig past the shitty surface layer of trending and mainstream music that flood the charts. You shouldn't have to care. Enjoy your time. Let them do what they want.
Everything is in and everything is out - everything is trendy and it isn't. We've come to this point in music. Mainstream doesn't have it anymore and anyone saying otherwise is basing a generalized opinion on ppl who base nostalgia as better than what is on the radio or mainstream nowadays. It disregards the genres and subgenres that are all popular right now. literally every genre is popular right now.
1. 00:00 BETWEEN DAYS It's hard to know Which way to go Come and find me, come and find me She's dressed for snow In your winter coat Through the slight breeze, through the slight breeze The city sleeps With autum leaves On the side streets, uninviting I spend my days In a summer haze By the pine trees, all the times we Knew not what's right So intertwined I remember She's dressed for Sun as we came undone Waiting for the cold To leave for a while So I'll take it as it comes It's hard to say between these days Retrace my steps back through the west I remember I remember I remember I remember
During June 2019 we went to Japan for the first time, and I kept on playing this entire ep the whole time I was there. Now, everytime one these songs play, I'm taken back to those long car drives, strolling along alleys, the taste of that matcha ice cream from the kiosk by the street, walking around in Don Quijote never knowing what you'll find, and the thrill of seeing Tokyo from below from the Sky Tree. Thank you so much for these memories, Far Caspian 💖💖
@@gardensoundrecords3598 Idk, maybe because I watched and liked a Bane's World song about 2 years ago? Haha, yeah that, and watching and liking lots of other indie artists since then.... funny thing is.... I usually wait a while to finally listen to the recommendations on youtube.🤔😏 A lot of the songs are nice to workout to.😃😎✌🏼
Yet another nostalgic piece of timeless art. Really brings back that teenage hope and optimism I lost a few years back. In short, a healing masterpiece.
This will always be one of my favorites indie albums of all time. It really means something special. Along with a bunch of other albums, it marked a line in which after so I started to appreciate music in a different, deeper, emotional way. This albums means my youth, my transition from being a teenager to becoming a young adult. It hits hard and it reminisces different episodes of my life. What a gem.
I can relate to that so well, I've just begun my transition over from teenager to young adult and this music along with Current Joys, VACATIONS, and Surf Curse are carrying the nostalgia of my teenage years. Skating huge hills with my friends in the middle of the night with music like this playing loudly in my ears. I only wish it could have stayed that simple... So now I just sit here and listen to this to help remember all of the good times.
I live in Colorado and we listen to this EP everytime we go into the mountains. Makes me think of early mornings, good coffee, breathe taking views, loved ones. Just wanted to say Thank You
Lets go Outside is an absolute masterpiece. The mixing of the vocals in the first half kept them clean and pairs them well with the frontal instrumental which may be louder than the vocals themselves but doesnt change the melodic patterns throughout. Then the beautiful second half where the vocals are muddled by a loud chorus behind ranging throughout the high and low end of the spectrum, getting a heavenly and airy sound to come off of them this time instead through its use of reverb and space. Masterclass in mixing. The use of a DnB style beat on this works surprisingly well too. And DONT YOU DARE get me started on Finding my Way Home
I've been listening to this EP a whole lot recently. It just speaks to a lovely feeling, a good day, a small smile, a simple act of kindness. I really love this EP. Thanks, Far Caspian.
This album has been keeping me going. I travel 5 days a week, 2 cities a week for work. Always away from my wife and kids trying to make it happen for them. When i wake up in a strange timezone and with no friends in sight, i put this album on and it brings me up. Thank you. So much.
Been listening to this whole album literally almost every day for a year lol . Nobody and I mean NOBODY sounds like Far Caspian. Not even similar artists anywhere. I got tears in my eyes when I first listened. Walking through the streets of Berkeley CA and feelings of being so free. I sing along and really love how I sound. You've changed my life.
@@paul-marie I was thinking too like real estate or.. i couldn't think of any that really were this exact vibe where the energy is high but mellow but i can recommend hibou to u op for similar songs
I literally play this album for everything I do, cleaning, studying I play it at work for my kids since there are no curse words the kids love it it’s so cute to see them bobbing their little heads to it 😂🥰 it’s just easy listening music 🙏🏽
Still remember years ago when this album had less than 10k views. The album was released in 2016 or 2017, can't remember for sure, but it's quite a long time ago. 'Blue' got the highest view at like 4-5 millions at the time, but the whole album stayed at like around 10k for years. Then out of sudden in 2021, it jumps to millions, then 10 millions, and now 20 millions. No wonder why Joel is in shock. I'm really glad that more and more people appreciate this genre of music. 'Astoria' and 'The Heights' are also my favorite songs.
When I heard this EP, I was fascinated by the way the songs made me feel. They made me excited to live and I was filled with happiness. So, thank you...
I’ve listened to this album almost everyday for the last three months… it’s gotten me through some heavy shit. It’s like my own personal soundtrack for figuring out life
I just feel like this is the lifestyle perfect album I have heard since high schooL. Like, I cannot think of another album - at least in the last decade - where each song felt not only good, but great. Like, I remember growing up listening to albums, emotive albums at night, and not always they would be perfect, but always hoping they would be, and sometimes getting rewarded. This album feels like that reward, executive instead of their being months between the instances of perfection - there have been years. I simply cannot keep playing this whole album repeatedly. And I love a lot of different music - basically everything except heavy metal and trap and some of the really hard rap (and not necessarily including the pop/Top 100 rap, which some of which I like), but I just can’t get over how this is the first album I’ve fallen in love with in this personal way since probably mid-way theory high school, I think. Or maybe in college. But definitely not after that. So great job Far Caspian! Great cover art too btw!

@Seth Williams Hey there, your love for this band is something great, music is as valuable as the deepest emotion it provokes. I'd just keep in mind that while music is subjective, there are objective ways to measure quality, and while thats something which Caspian has a lot of, they don't excel in ilustrating the whole arrange of emotions that a deep understanding of theory gives you access to.
I've been fighting major health issues for almost a year and I can honestly say that this album has saved me more times than I care to admit. "You gotta let it hurt" Thank you so much for creating this beautiful music. Nothing has ever spoken to me this deeply. I listen to prog and jazz lol! ❤❤👏👏👏
Helloooo from South Africa ❤️🌍 this song has a mellow, positive feel to it. It's whimsical and like a gentle breeze. I pull this up when ever I'm on a road trip or just chilling at a bonfire under the open sky at the ocean. Zanks you Far Caspian ❤️
2. 03:09 BLUE Last night the rain blew down I called you up with no answer It's all a waste of time I've wanted this since forever But I don't know It's not the way I thought I tried for you to see But you'll never know Oh It will never work Don't you see You gotta let it hurt Oh It will never work Don't you see You gotta let it hurt I think of ways to fly We smoked away in the basement I kissed your lips slow and dry We danced until we were wasted Oh It's a dream I'm in And all I need Is many ways to fly away Oh It will never work Don't you see You gotta let it hurt Oh It will never work Don't you see You gotta let it hurt oh oh you
Some of the best music I've found and listened to was 95% come across by accident or music like... All hidden gems. I've often wondered if it sounds the same to you the musicians as it does to us the listening fan base. Probably not. That's what makes it ones own version of a song. Thanks to all the musicians who give life to another world through music.
This album is sublime, orgasmic, and transcendent! I’m going through a lot right now and this music is really helping me through it right now. Thank you Far Caspian for your efforts and soul!
Jokes aside from a psychological standpoint it's extremely unhealthy to do or be anything for the sake of other people or at the whim of other people. My friend come back and enjoy this song because you like to enjoy this song, may all the gods smile upon you
Do it if it's what you will love to do Money only gets you so far but if you love fixing bodies then have it. Don't be anxious of them just be aware of what's happening each moment.
it's really interesting how every song manages to evoke the same feeling of adventure, of detatchement and going back to your roots and living again.. amazing album! so underrated
Estaba imaginando que alguien venía y me daba un abrazo. Esto es lo más cercano a un abrazo por estos días. Calientito, agradable, dulce y sobre todo lleno de energía.
beautiful. im sitting in front of my computer alone in middle of the night, i just finished for today. everything in silence except for this music. peace . i feel like when i was on my teen days and i was just eager for living, and i lived. right now just need one beer and this music to bring me back to the days when my hobby was looking for new bands and music and lost myself in that and didnt have the complications from adulthood
I finally realised there's a part in Let's go outside that sounds like Under Pressure! It's a very pretty album. Finding my way home really touches me.
3 - The Place 06:34 Talking I know nothing Stay in my head Stay on your bed I fought It out Bargained with the price All of your advice On hold, on hold I know what to say I'll go, I'll go To my unknown place I love it when she rolls me up But I know I never weigh enough I fought It out Bargained with the price All of my advice is gone I know, I know I know what to say But I'll go, I'll go To my unknown place I love it when she calls me up But I know I never say enough I love it when she rolls me up But I know I never weigh enough I love it when she calls me up But I know I never say enough I love it when she rolls me up But I know I never weigh enough
This is so nostalgic and at the same time futuristic... I feel complete and at the same time I can see where everyhing connect to everyone, future and past, now and then. Thanks youtube to get me something so refreshing
For some reason I have this ep on my 'watch later' list since last year. Today, I woke up and listened to it and omg I feel like a whole new universe was born inside me. This is amazing ♥️
This EP makes me want to chase my dreams i cant explain actually why but as someone said before it has that kind of Energy that takes you to the places and moments you ve never been before and never lived through. This is pure Gold!!

Throughout life, grief happens in various forms…. … upon hearing the first note of the first of these song’s, sung by beautiful free spirited voices, I knew this is where I needed to be to free my spirit of despair, and replace it with a little thing called “hope”.🕊
Hey, I want to say thank you for this music. I listen to it constantly when I'm working on homework and it really helps me zone in and focus. I sometimes get really overwhelmed when trying to do homework and this EP helps me relax and concentrate. I wish the words that I just wrote better reflected how grateful I am, but I don't know if words can express this feeling. All in all, thank you so so much, I hope whoever just read this comment is doing well and has a great rest of their day
It's exactly the same for me. I listened it a lot during the end of my master's degree in this year. And these musics helped me to get over the end of my relationship, in this year too. This album is really like a treasure!! Have a nice day!
started listening to them randomly and their music has awaken a side of me from when i was younger and more hopeful that i thought had been lost. idk why i am writing this, guess i just wanted to voice out that it always gets better and to never forget who you are.
i was driving cross country when this started singing by its own volition, and it kept singing till the end of the album, where i was in tears, because i was going back home too, leaving behind a part of my heart
Been listening to them for over a year now. I knew i liked this band when every song they made at that point i loved. It was actually this video who introduced me
Back and back again with this in my ears, in myself, on this second lock down... LET'S GO OUTSIDE (!), let's listen to these great Caspian, who are not "far" from me at all ;-) !
5. 15:20 FINDING MY WAY HOME Break from this Three days since I've gone Fallen out of place Lay down by the lake house I grew on Time takes on her age Step back, rebuild All the damage has been done I could find my strength Let them refill all their thoughts of heavy lungs And though it seems I've lost my time Drifting through the pines Finding my way home Take from this Three years since I've flown Calling out my fate Lay down by the lake house I grew up Running out the same Take up a hobby anything to keep yourself warm I could find my strength Step back rebuild all the damage has been done So it seems I've lost my time Drifting through the old headed pines Looking for a place to go Finding my way Home
Had the pleasure of seeing Far Caspian live in Dublin at the weekend and believe me this guy is sensational live asset so underrated its amazing if you ever get a chance see this guy live its so worth it!
