Artist: Godspeed you! Black Emperor Album: Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven Title: Broken Windows, Lock of Love Part III Track: 3 (Disc 2)
first time i heard this complete song, i was 18 or so and i was just recording music off a local college radio station on to tape. i was just recording whatever came on then monheim starts to play and without knowing who GYBE was i justed listen to the entire song, the full 20 minutes. i was just amazed by it and realized i just recorded something that i knew i was going to listen to for the rest of my life.
I don't think anyone can argue that there is a more beautiful moment in music history than 7:19 to the end. Absolutely fills me up with hope, it makes me feel like i died trying to do something for the better of a loved one, but I died with a smile on my face.
The violin section at the end before the final crescendo brought me to tears when I first heard it. GYBE is quite possibly the most amazing band I have ever heard.
14 billion years of shit floating around in space and this is the greatest thing we have created in that time. And it's completely worth it all. Monumental
there is a sweetness in clumsy efforts stubborn hope always trumps lazy greed & gentle hearts tear vulgar castles down don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid
This music gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation. I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this track Sleep. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.”
From 7:22 and onwards is one of the most intense and powerful moments in all the history of rock music and you can't convince me otherwise. Godspeed is the reason why they call it postrock, as in it truly is the pinnacle of what rock music aspired to be, the culmination of the rock era.
Maldición está segunda parte de sleep me genera un sin fin de sentimientos , desde epicidad hasta la melancolía , la parte de distorsión de la guitarra en el 8:15 realmente me hace sentir como si alguien que quires mucho alguien que amas de repente se va , se siente amargura ,ese final es tan bizarro que están hermoso , mi banda favorita por siempre será GYBE!
I remember getting heavily into this record back when I was playing Fallout 4. The 2 memories have coalesced into some post-apocalyptic super memory. I loved those days.
