I'm so sorry for your loss. I have my own little girl and I love her so much that I couldn't even think about losing her. I can only imagine what you might be feeling. I hug you in my mind.
@@aaaabbby4154 Thank you so much, for your kind words and sweet hug. I have a little daughter too, but I will miss my first forever..😢 You are a mother, I think you understand this feeling.. I will never forget your kindness.🤗 Love and light to you and your little love.💕✨
@@efemotionmi1389 Dear Mother, I fully understand you and I can feel what you must feel. One day you will be reunited with your little one and with everyone you love. I sincerely wish you to find peace in your heart.
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die
Magic is that which is an illusion, something that requires faith in order to exist. This composition requires no faith in order to express its existence. It's real. It's pure. It's the highest gift of emotion.
No idea who this guy is, RU-vid just autoput me on this video but....I was playing Civ 5 and Barcelona was just converted to Islam. Half Life 3 confirmed.
“Music is more powerful, when there’s less of it.” -Jóhann Jóhannsson There’s a beautiful and complex simplicity in this music. And I don’t think melancholy describes it accurately. Perhaps we feel something that we think is sadness or melancholy, but really, what we FEEL is more complex than the simple names that we prescribed as emotions. This seems to me and metaphor for a mothers love; something as a male I could never UNDERSTAND, but being raised as a single mother I think I FELT. JJ - Thank you for letting us FEEL what we can’t explain with words. Rest in power.
Beautifully said ❤ I fancy myself a writer now and then, so I love explaining and describing things through words… but you are absolutely spot on that some feelings simply cannot be described. And that’s why music is so powerful. It says what words cannot. And we feel it, and we know it, and we try to explain it but find we cannot… so we just keep listening 🧡🧡🧡
These are the most wonderful and touching pictures to show a positively spiritual relationship between a mother and a daughter, the mother holding her close, giving her safety and warmth and yet is able to let her go when she needs to, only to take her back into her motherly arms when the time is right.
Johan was my dad’s favourite composer, and is mine too. He passed away a few days ago, and this song was played at his funeral. Despite loving Johan’s work before, I knew only of his film compositions like Prisoners and Arrival. I think this song will stay with me forever, it’s a masterpiece.
when the music touches your heart and cuts it with a million cuts, when it squeezes your throat so hard that you almost can't breathe, when the music hurts your soul and you cry but you can't stop listening. this piece is a pure beauty
Here's what I'm getting from this. A mother is raising her daughter to prepare her for the world, and holds her close for comfort as though she's scared of the world herself and just wants to cherish her daughter. When the day finally comes for her daughter to go off into the world, she becomes a jumbled mess, with the impression of her "forgetting how to swim" as if she is now just unsteady and needs her daughter. Then we see the daughter just gracefully swimming and her movements are odd, as if she's learning to cope with the world around her without the comfort of her mother. The mom's swimming starts to become more calm as if she too is learning to cope without her daughter, and then her daughter comes back, implying that no matter what happens, her mother will always be there to run back to. Not sure what you guys think, but this is what comes to mind for me.
I think that is very spot on. I think the video is a representation of the love between a parent and a child. I view my son this way. I think that while I may be hard on him sometime, he knows I want the best for him. It may seem backwards, shy of true feeling and overall a not-so-nice way of raising a young man. I think that a child should be made aware of "meanness" out there, as well as love, from their parents. I Love my son more than anything, and would literally do the most difficult thing for him, if I thought it was in his best interest. And right now, that is helping him understand respect and kindness, at the same time. I Love you buddy!
@@Avatar1601 I think you have the right of it, as I see it. What I most wanted in life I will never have and that is to be a mother. It was only after many, many years of trying that I learned I am unable to bear children. I will never feel the magical movement of a child in my womb, I will never cradle and feed my newborn, I will never experience the joyous highs and exquisite lows of being a parent and these are the truths I've wrestled with... for the last five years as I enter my mid-forties. A circlet of thorns around my heart that I can never remove, leaving me always bruised and sore. It's a difficult transition for one's internal mantra to shift from "it's not too late" to "it is too late now". 'Accept' and 'make peace with' are not yet a part of my vernacular. Nobody died but it is a death all the same. Forgive me, I hadn't intended to divulge what I don't talk about with even those closest to me. Odd, this. In any case, what I'd wanted to communicate to you is that I've learned so many vital lessons from my own mother, who I once thought was too harsh - even abusive, at times. I moved back in with her after my father passed, at which time her compromised health had taken a significant turn South. She's unable to walk across a room now, and I do my best to keep her spirits up. I've heard so often that it's having a child that teaches you the nature of unconditional love. I believe my ability to love without conditions I learned by adhering to the wisdom of an African proverb, which is to "follow the umbilical cord". I was much closer to my father and in the days before he died I promised him I would never allow her to be put in a nursing home, I'd never leave her to have to face the trials of old age and sickness alone. What I didn't know then is that my commitment would bring me the greatest blessing I've had and will ever have in my life. Taking care of my mom has turned into a privilege and a gift, as we've grown closer than I ever thought possible. I know who she is now, and though she's capable of making me angrier than anyone else, she also brings me the most joy and comfort. I have an uncanny ability to get lost in tangents that move across land and sea, countless miles from where I'd originally intended to illustrate my point. What I wanted to say to you is this: it seems to me you could do your son no better service than to reveal to him the difficulties life can unexpectedly throw at us, trip us up and even knock us down at times; how unfair and unforgiving and cold the world is capable of being, at times. If you can teach your son not only how to be resilient and self-reliant, but further how to get beyond his own self-involvement in order to witness, even learn from, the hardships others go through, you've done your job well. If he experiences trials and tribulations and failures, he's not special... he is human. If you can teach him to recognize that everyone is flawed and we are all helpless sometimes - if he develops the capacity for compassion and patience, how to be tolerant and accepting of himself and others, you've done your job beautifully. You want the very best for your child, you want him to not only survive what the world can throw at us but thrive in spite of it. Trust your instincts and believe in the skills you've cultivated as a parent in order to guide your son and teach him the discipline necessary to become an adult. You're providing him with the lessons he'll need to grow into a man of integrity who is capable of making his own way in the world. A human who is wholly in touch with his own humanity. Does that make sense? As a childless woman, I'm the last person anyone would go to for parenting advice. To that end, I ought to clarify my intention - which is not to provide advice but to affirm what it seems you're already doing. I'm not sure if it was an undercurrent of self-doubt I detected in your post or just a concern that your son may misinterpret the reasons you parent him as you do. Either way, I felt compelled to validate your thoughts and sentiments. I wish you and your family a present and future full of blessings.
I think this piece of art has so much to say about parenthood; the parent tries their best to teach the child how to float, but eventually they have to let them leave their arms. And afterwards, they struggle to form a new identity, one that isn't tied to their child. But ultimately, as we tend to do, the child returns, because she'll always need her mother. I don't know, I love it. I'm not a parent. I'm a 30 yer old single man, I have no sisters, I just know I still need my mom sometimes. I bawled watching this.
This could be one of the most powerful and beautiful things I have seen and heard. I feel this not as mother's love but as the relationship between an adult and her inner child...
10 minutes ago my 15 year old daughter was 7, or 8, and now she's just a few years away from leaving the nest to try flying on her own. If you have little ones, hang on to the moment, be present, because the years will flutter away before you know it... I've been a good dad, could have done better many times but I did my best. And I will always ALWAYS be there for her. I would walk through fire for you baby girl...
This music almost brought me to tears. Then I read his bio and it was all down hill from there. There is beauty in sadness, and his music proves this to me.
I had no idea he died until reading the comments. What a profoundly tragic loss and will change the way I listen to his music. Grateful to him that he left behind the body of work that has.
Often when something feels beautiful or emotional to me, it's also melancholic. But this piece of music is so peaceful, and full of hope. Like a moment of realization. That whatever happens, it'll be alright.
This video has me feeling intense longing yet still comfort. I don’t think I’ve ever felt the type of support and gentleness depicted but I have hope it’s possible.
Wow, what a beautifully shot video. As a Dad with a daughter, it literally brought me to tears. Moms should cry over this as well; enjoy your children while they are young. Just wonderfully done.
Some of the brightest, smartest most talented MINDS suffer from massive depression coping with it takes its tolls. This MUSIC alone is proof of that genius he had but also the pain with in which he struggled. The greatest gift is that this mans music WILL NEVER DIE, SO he WILL LIVE FOREVER>>>> without #JóhannJóhannsson and HIS MUSIC the world would be much less than what it is now. Wish i could seen this guy live. RIP I wanted to persue a career in Music or Cooking or IT | infosec and Computers won...however I am very much moved by music still to this day and how its composed and the brilliant minds behind it. I truly admire people like this the song def touch me first time hearing it which was today 5-5-2022 -Dade
I think we were all born in the right generation to be able to listen to this work of art today and to have lived while many great artists like this were alive. What an honour. This is pure, emotional, *human* art.

Terrible news today, I'm really saddened by his passing. He'll forever be remembered by his incredible talent. In a way, artists continue to live through their works in the hearts of others. ❤️
I remember the first Johannsson track I heard was Odi et Amo, and I thought to myself; if anyone heard me listening to this, they'd probably think I was hugely depressed. In fact, the truth couldn't be more in contrast; I was blissful. Johann's music incites contemplation and reflection in a very unique way. I though the same of Fordlandia too, the first record I listened to of his in entirety. This album stirs the very same emotions for me. Fantastic work, Johann Johannsson; I thank you very much.
I have just happened upon this piece. So beautiful. Then reading down to find the artist has passed away. Such sadness. I wish I would have known about him sooner. Such emotion.
This hurts to watch so deeply and truly when your mother was abusive. But thank you for this beautiful key thats allowed me to access and process my grief
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard, as beautiful as a precious diamond, as a man who never ceases to give away the poetry of his heart, a heart unique in the all universe.......
I have to say, the comments section here is so much nicer than that of a Sia music video. People don't appreciate this kind of art. This is absolutely stunning.
The desire to be a mother / father is so strong. Sound / music is a nature of our humanity, as well as fatherhood, but I also see an inner god, and only an inner one; Touching your hair while you sleep.
Such beautiful sensitive images to accompany this all consuming track. It brought me to tears however when the image of the migrant from El Salvador, who drowned earlier this year, along with his daughter trying to cross the Rio Grande for a better life, flashed into my mind. Like much of Johanne's work this is full of beauty and peace but also sadness.
I am still in shock to hear about the loss of Jóhann Jóhannsson. Nothing I ever heard was so touching as his beautiful melodies of which we will hear no more new ones. But we still have these, and we should cherish them
This is one of the most beautifully representation of the connection between a mother and her daughter. The music, the imagery, breathtaking heartbreaking beautiful. Thank you.
A comment from a Humble Fan :: Jóhann Jóhannsson is a totally different Music Composer. I have been listening to Horner, Zimmer and Desplat for around 10 years. With no comparison i get different sounds from Johan which I haven't heard off late. A true composer whose music can be embraced by people of very diversified backgrounds across the planet. New waves and New Sounds ! Thanks Jóhann Jóhannsson......
Good Lord, what have I been missing! And yes I am very aware of Johannssons passing and I am very appreciative of what he has left for us, and he has left his heart and soul, what an extraordinary composer.
I like how the recording is so raw, i can hear some of the scratching sounds of the musicians/instruments in the studio -- if you listen closely enough.
I was just listening to his music last night and wondering what he would come up with next. He had a very unique sound that will be missed in film and music. So many talented people have been passing away the last couple of years. I wish the best for his friends and family.
R.I.P Johann Johannsson, one of Hollywood's contemporary composers. His work was one of a kind and beautiful in every way possible. We are all listing to your wonderful creations in this time of grief, as the sun...goes dim.
I feel that the world Needs this kind of love, inspiration, recognition of the human heart and our capacity to be here for one another is nothing short of the human miracle that we are, in the face of the adversities in the world. Still, we are here … and love is eternal.
An Artist.. isn't he a great friend of a human...humanity... / This piece.. this performance... each on their own even, is so deep .., such a beauty.. thank U
saw this video by chance.. absolute beauty.. the child i've never had.. because there are so many to take care of.. this inspires me... give peace... .. sorry to learn this composer left too young recently.. RIP..
Breathtaking and surreal! I interpret this as the trust and bond of two people. But of course the obvious bond of mother and daughter makes it even more precious. The dance of holding on and letting go between mother and daughter is so poignantly demonstrated. This is such an effective visual complimented by the melody!
Listening to this piece is timely. There has been so much loss in my life but I never grieved it until I got laid off amd took a sabbatical recently. So many if my dreams feel dead and buried. Music like this opens a flood gate of tears for me. I often lack the words to describe how I feel on a regular basis but rhis makes me feel some comfort in the tragedies and lessons Ive learned in life.
Life. A Familial bond. Life. Growth. Life. Aging. ....I sense the power of this piece! Eventually a parent must LET GO of his/her child, as he/she approaches death, for we all in our own path of life, ....will die. We can only hope that our love and life experiences can help our child as we leave this life. And in so doing, allow our child to carry on our LIFE in their hearts and life experiences. Long after we have left this life.
