This sounds like the final goodbye. Like a series finale. "That's all folks!" Such a melancholy yet somehow cheerful track. Saying goodbye to everyone. To everything. To memory. To sanity. To me...
In EATEOT, I see Quiet Dusk Coming Early as the final, aching goodbye and this track is like the cheerful companion with the same message. Quiet dusk weeps that it is over while fleeting dreams bows silently as the curtains close.
most people I see here associate this song with sadness, while I associate it with a bittersweet happiness, it's like graduating high school, or the final day of school, it's happy because "yay school is over I can move on in life!" but bittersweet because you're leaving your old life behind.
Tom finally caught Jerry after decades of persecution and pain, but after that little monster was finally gone from his life, he had no purpose to live, now he is a melancholic house cat that only gets up to eat, this song represents his life.
*this is like standing on death bed surrounded by your family and relatives, saying goodbye one last time, being sad that its over, but being glad its over now, being happy they will miss you, but being sad you will never be able to make them smile*
I heard this once and thought I remembered it being on Stage 1 of Eateot but when it wasn't, for a while I was actually doubting my memory. The next time I heard this it was so relieving. It's now my favourite caretaker track
It was the last day of elementary school. It was a rough year. It was a long year. It was a tiring year. It was exciting. It was great. It was awesome. It was melancholy . It was… a fleeting part of life. It was like… this song.
Yeah, it was really sad. I remember in 6th grade we were given flowers and enjoyed ice cream talking to eachother. Knowing that that good life, was left behind. Our small class felt like family. Now people from other school are coming here too. It no longer feels like family. And im going to miss school once it eventually ends.
I can imagine that it’s the 40s and a happy family sitting in there warm living room as it snows outside all enjoying each other’s company on this calm night or this could be the song that plays in its a wonderful life over the end scene when everyone comes into George Bailey’s house but it’s more calming and there aren’t as many people in their house
I feel like the Caretaker was swept under the rug as more fan projects came out in my opinion. I will never forget Leyland Kirby. He is the godfather of sampling music and putting a good smile on my face.
This sounds like going to heaven and then realizing youll never really feel the sweet release of death once and for all. To live forever, that is your reward, and your punishment
It feels like the last hopes of a person. They are tired, they can't do anything to improve the state they are in. The trumpets sound like their laments, the song is bittersweet, it is beautiful but melancholic.
It feels like you once had an idea or a "dream" or some sort of huge motivation long ago, but you barely remember it now. It no longer applies to your current condition but it's confusing and wonderful all the same.
As a Trombone player, this and Libet's All Joyful Camaraderie are my favorite caretaker songs simply due to the inclusion of Russ Morgan's Waawaa of Death.
@@vibrantgleam I assume you know what I'm referring to when I talk about the "waawaa of death," but, in case you don't, I am referring to the solo Trombone part at 0:08 . A very distinctive "waawaa." We Brass players achieve the waawaa by utilizing the head of a plunger over our bells, preferably a clean one. With our left hand, we fan the plunger head in and out of the bell, causing it to act as a mute. The more it blocks the bell, the more it dampens the sound of the horn (the "w" sound). Bringing it outwards only releases the richness once again (the "ah" sound). He's an example of what I mean: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kxol-g_H-hk.html
I don't understand why this song isn't liminal space videos It's got that perfect nostailgic, almost end-credit like feeling like My heart will stop in joy. Heck, if someone is up for it, I would like them to make a liminal space video using An Empty Bliss Beyond This World and all the songs in the album.
I’ve come so far. Every décision I’ve made has led up to this moment. Goodbye. I will always be there for you. Here I am, just enjoying myself listening to a song. It’s not deep, but it has an effect, not a deep one, just an effect.
It’s so much bittersweet happiness. I can just see my childhood past, my innocent self. The trauma I went through, yet the moments of bliss I too had. I want to go back. Also see my young-self, holding my parent’s hand, looking up at them as we walk through the mall, through the discontinued stores today. Life in the 2000’s. (Born 2005) Doesn’t sound long ago, but oh, so damn feels like it.
If you lower the volume to the point where you can't hear the bass in the background and only the leading trumpet and brass line, this song becomes even more depressing, specifically 0:06 and its repeats. Without the upbeat and consistent bass backing it up, the music becomes haunting, moreso than it already was. Try it out if you like feeling sad and empty on the inside! I guess!
I feel the same way about Drifting sublime hope, but also see how that one wouldn't really fit with the rest of EATEOT. Sublime beyond loss made more sense with the rest of Stage 3.
WAA WAAAA Catchy trumpet sounds aside, there’s something really disturbing about this song. It sounds like it’s fighting itself, not sure how else to describe it
The image I get in my mind while listening to this is a man, recreating his childhood memories at the same locations they took place in, only now in a post-apocalyptic world. For example, him spending time alone at a playground he frequented as a child, only now in a polluted and destroyed world where he is the only human for miles.
Esta cancion me hace recordar a cuando vi el capitulo final de star vs las fuerzas del mal senti que ya era hora de que acabaria la serie pero mi corazon quedo vacio y con melancolia ❤
I dunno about you but hearing the trumpet parts in the early morning feels quite distressing considering the thought that this is the memory of an Alzheimer’s patient(that’s the plot of this album)
The Brownman Family doesn't like this song. It brings back memories that they don't like to talk about. (Just to clarify, this is for an analog horror series I'm working on. It's called The Brownman Tapes. I'm working on the first episode now. Big stuff is planned for this.)
