This song represents for me a way out from the boring daily life. When I hear this song I think of the beautiful scenery and I transfer me there with the mind, without thinking of anything else. Many people say that you can not escape from life's problems, but it is not entirely true. In some cases you can. And it's fucking beautiful.
Okay, let me get something straight. I have NEVER cried at a piece of art or anything of the sort and when I see or hear people saying that 'Oh this song/painting/etc made me cry', I always thought those people were A: Weirdos or B: Bullshitting as I didn't think something so materialistic could affect someone so emotionally. Boy, was this a wake up call as when that video faded to white at the end, I realised I had tears in my eyes. I hope that wasn't just down to my sleep deprivation. It felt so damn good and I wanted to thank KOAN Sound & ASA Carson for their beautiful music and also Dan Hoang & John Weeks for their brilliant, unique work on the visual aspect of this upload. I wish I could make this sound less cliche but I only know so much English.
We all relate to music/art in our own way. For me, my now parter, followed me through a pretty dark and rough part of my life. She followed me down where most would walk away and at the time I kinda took it for granted. We then spent some years apart, to me, represented by the broken stairway leading up in the video, a time through which I grew and healed as a person, only for us to reunite and now stay together. I always felt like there was something special to our relationship, like a ying to each others yang. This video/song represents this struggle and triumph in my life so well. Thankyou.
This music that this group makes is literally what you'd hear in videogames and movies. Ladies and gentlemen this is real music. This is what music is when a god creates it. This my friends is beauty incarnated into sound. If you dislike this then you have no ear for music and dont deserve to exist amongst the individuals that have taste in music.
My cousin, best friend, and all round legend has passed away at the age of 26. I came to this song to close my eyes and wish him on his journey to wherever he goes next. I love you Tom.
I don't know why, but this song really gives me a heavy feeling of nostalgia. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to :)
I don't know what it is but when i first heard your album it spoke through me and touched my heart and changed me so much. This was so soothing for me when i was depressed and so down i just went to listen to music and this came on and it made me look at my screen and made me feel like life outside is beautiful and can be seen so brightly. I never thought a song would come to change me in any way and this album just made me cry so much. It made me cry tears of joy cause I felt so at peace and i had no idea how happy i should be more often. Everyday i wake up now to this song and when i get a call i listen to this song. and when i'm down i listen to this song. Every time i have free time i just sit back and listen to the album. I cry every time no matter what to this song. Most of my homework i turn in has my tears on it and everyone wonders why i cry. I tell them "I found peace within my heart" and it just keeps me so calm now. I haven't stopped listening to the album and hasn't ever gotten old. I do my homework when i listen to this album. I now do after school activities because of the motivation of this album. I help my family with anything that needs done due to the fact of how peaceful and relaxing this song has done to affect me! I just have no way to give so much gratitude to this song and the whole album in general. There's just so much motivation because of what i've heard when i was depressed and how much i am doing better now. I'm now passing in my school when i plummeted to the very bottom of school. I help kids in need and even tutor some people in certain subject!
It doesn't lol. I get what You meant by the way, Better wording would be "to give a powerful feeling" than "to say what it means". (Again, I understand fine, but some other people might not) :)
That's fine! Learning a new language can be tricky, but if You keep it up, then as long as You can communicate, even if it's not full proper English, that's all that matters, so I don't mind. :P
I think that everyone should be told that the dislike button isn't for songs you don't like. It's actually for songs you think didn't have any EFFORT put into. This song obviously did.
actually man i am rather sure it is just to let things know that you dislike or like a video so that you can either see more of it or less of it and it all comes down to preference man, don't be a mong
I came across this song on Pandora and liked it a few years ago, but I forgot the name of it. Spent an hour looking for it and I'm so happy I did. This song and video is so deep and inspirational!
You know when they're collaborating with Asa that it's going to be chilled and melodic. I love all their styles. But this... this is MIND BLOWING. The production quality is unreal.
Everyone is commenting about skrillex yes I do love skrillex but you must also admire this beautiful and the wonderful producer who made it KOAN great song much support
Why obsess over skrillix when you could be saying YES I LOVE YOU KOAN SOUND! Just because he had a role in this, its koan sounds work and their other work is just as amazing. KOAN's name should be filling the comments, not skrillix.
OMG Y SO MANY SKRILLEX COMMENTS? I like skrillex and all and I do realise he sign KOAN Sound onto his record label aaand he left a comment BUT you guys dont need to keep banging on about it. This is KOAN sound's song and its beatiful. I came here because KOAN Sound are my favourite DJ duo and I saw this song on their soundcloud not coz im some no life Skrillex stalker who looks at his comment history. Im sorry but it just really annoyed me.
Some people like skrill amd I just saw a commemt on skrillexes channel so im going to listen to Koan sound for the fucking first time. Skrillex is boss and he is back with a new album thats boss
Dolphinately I totally agree with you but aren't you forgetting that Asa was a part of this? I mean I know KOAN Sound are legends in and of themselves but I get this feeling that everyone is undermining Asa. Asa is one who probably did most of the string work on this EP and maybe a lot of the drums (but that's more of a mixture). Not only that but Asa held an AMA on reddit about production and the Sanctuary EP on /r/edmproduction. I know that you specifically don't mean to undermine anybody but I just wanted to give a shout out to Asa who seems under-appreciated on this EP.
Third Estate I am indeed! When I wrote this comment I just didn't think so that was stupidity on my part. As you rightly said, Asa did work extremely hard on this EP and he should be credited for it (a bit hypocritical of me but hey, life :P). Also, have a nice day sir!

It seems to me like at the end of the video the girl finds her higher self/true self and realizes that we are one and she becomes truly enlightened. Amazing video.
Am ya ._. todo por que me guste Bieber no me puede gustar Skrillex? plz, no sean pendejos, cada uno tiene sus gustos. Además lo mio es un sentimiento por Skrillex
45% of people came here beacuse of Skrillex's comment. 45% because they hate Skrillex, so they can even criticize him. and the rest 10% because they love Koan Sound's music. Incredible society!
Liz Cirelli rumour has it they are working on an album. All the collaborations with asa are amazing and the movember collaborations are always great too. I think this might be my favourite track by the duo and asa.
