Porter Robinson - Sea of Voices (Audio) 

You ever listen to something that makes you want to live longer

Was too late to discover the world, too early to explore the stars, but just in time for this beauty

Porter Robinson after finishing the song: What have I done

Today I realised that there is a voice in the background singing "in a perfect world" over and over again I've been listening to this track for 6 years What.

ever wanted to live inside of a song?

"I say goodbye to a world that I thought I once knew as I drown in sea of voices"

Lyrics: in a perfect world (repeated) I'll see creation come undone These bones that bound us will be gone We'll stir our spirits til we're one Then soft as shadows we'll become

Once, I had a dream with this song playing in the background. And it was the most beautiful, surreal dream I’ve ever had. Earth was dying, and the government had issued each family a spaceship to take us to our next habitable planet. But my family, much like many others, stayed until the very last day. Right before we were going to take off, I told my parents I wanted to say one last goodbye to our planet. So I spent that time wandering around in woods and fields I grew up in. The sky kept darkening, so my only light was the one built into my spacesuit. Finally, right before I was ready to leave, I stopped at the edge of the field and stared at the wall of trees (the woods) in front of me. And like magic, a light glowed from the woods, rising up. It was our neighbors, leaving behind everything in their spaceship. As I watched everything around me light up, animals of all kinds gathered beside me to watch. With the wind and dark surrounding us, all creatures in harmony, we watched the spaceship fly away. In earth’s final hours, every creature upon it was at peace, residing together in harmony. It was like they knew the world was ending. And only then, every being was truly together, without hurting one another. Right before the end of the world. But I left earth behind. Needless to say, it was the best dream I’ve ever had.

Literally sounds like heaven on Earth.

"We'll see creation come undone" "The bones that bound us will begone" "We'll stir our spirits till we're one" "The soft as shadow we'll become" Feel free to interpret it into anything, we all are one entirety anyway.

A lot of the music industry I've noticed puts so much into the climax of the song, but neglects the rise and fall. The climax is only as good as the rise makes it, in my opinion at least, and this song is good evidence of that. Otherwise, you find people just skipping around to the "drop", and the song itself is not taken seriously. I want to enjoy the piece as a whole, not just the "drop" that people look for. Sea of Voices is so good, I love how long it takes to build up, slowly lifting you up, as you become more and more enthralled by these sounds, until the climax arrives, and at that point you're just floating to the music. So beautiful, I truly have yet to find a song quite as powerful as this. Easily the best song I've ever heard.

This came on Spotify and my heart dropped. I nearly started sobbing at my desk. Holy crap.

"You can't touch music but music can touch you." -Mordecai, Regular Show (or Bob Marley?)

I honestly think this is the greatest piece of music to ever exist on this planet. We are lucky to be living at the same time as Porter.

I just bought this CD for my ten year old nephew for Christmas... Hopefully he'll love Porter as much as I did a few years ago. ('=

This is the most peaceful comment section i've ever seen. GG RU-vid

This song reminds me of clouds: It's... ethereal, floaty, airy, light, slow, and beautiful, like a cloud. So this is what clouds sound like...

I almost cried this is so beautiful. I don't understand why no one is commenting about this instead of what Fandom brought them here.

when i was in senior high, i recommend this song as an opening song of my school music extracurricular/Music class concert to the leader of the concert and the teacher, they just said this song is not good, even some of my friend said this song's weird. I don't think this is a bad or a weird song, Porter made this song with his imagination and his pure skill, even this is one of the best song and have the sickest drop beside Grand Escape and Fix You. But for my friends if you read this just remember, you've made a huge mistake :)

It’s been 6 years and I’m still coming back to listen this masterpiece. So, 2021 anyone?

I remember listening to this song on my way home from my last day at middle school. My old friends i've known since first grade and I were there. The school hosted a small "goodbye" party with pizza and a bad dj. Then, when the party was over, and I had said bye to all my friends, this song started playing. It made me remember all the good memories from middle school, and that i probably never would experience such good times again. Damn, my heart breaks every time i listen to this song.

This shit should be in the new Planet Earth 2, like on the final episode when it's closing and they slowly pull away from the earth and they're saying some crazy deep shit about how we are all one in the end and pull out to the galaxy. I'm bursting into tears already.

Imagine it. After all you have done, all your hard work and determination, after all struggles and internal battles, after every storm, you finally made it. The end of the road. The summit of glory. All your sweats are long gone, only you and this Elysium. A taste of heaven.

Fun fact! The girl who sings at the end is the same girl who sang in Owl City - The Saltwater Room. I love her voice so much ♥

This song is so fucking beautiful I could listen to it any day

I love this song. 3:14 makes me jump everytime tho, because I get too comfortable with the ethereal parts and it suddenly blasts me with sound. Does anyone else experience this?

I say this. I truly believe Porter Robinson is the Hans Zimmer of EDM music.

I imagine this playing softly in an elevator that once you step in, takes you to a world unknown to others. A world of peace, tranquility, beautiful views, beautiful people, satisfaction, love, and emotion.

If this song doesn't affect you in some way, I question your humanity. This is probably the most powerful electronic song/song in general that I've ever heard. It literally gives me chills and makes my endorphins rush like I've never hear experienced listening to a song. I have no idea how someone could have created something so amazing. It feels like God is touching your soul when you listen to this, seriously.

I illegally download all my music, but this entire album deserves to be bought.

I will see Porter Robinson before I die I WILL SEE PORTER LIVE IF IT'S THE LAST THING THAT I DO

Happy 10 years to a track that changed how I listened to music at the time 💚

This is beyond beautiful. I wish I came across Porter Robinson's music sooner.

I've been sitting here for 10 minutes.. lost in the sea of voices.. time to snap out of it and finish this homework lol

I had one of the most special experiences of my life with this song in 2019. I met a guy at an electronic music festival and I had a strong connection with him, that night was just incredible. A few days later I received a message from that guy and it was just this song, I was alone in my bedroom at 1.00AM when I started to listen to sea of voices and I've never heard something like this, it was like a strong light coming into my soul, just magic. Two years later I can say I will never forget that guy and this song, they meant the beginning of a new musical era for me.

I can’t believe this song is 10 years old… One of my favorite Porter Robinson tracks that needs to be heard. ❤

I didn't know that this song was associated with so many fandoms, but I find it pretty cool. A bunch of people with different hobbies and things they like, coming together to listen to this beautiful song. Whether you're here from Undertale, Allegiant, or NHL 15, welcome! And enjoy listening to this miracle of a song. :D

“And that’s how babies are made” ~Berd 2017

the decade's over now, it's been very exciting, lots of things happened and it all happened so fast. but now it's time to start fresh, see what this new decade has in store for all of us. let's all watch it unfold together. good luck on your journey everyone!!

The emotions placed in this music is extremely overwhelming that I nearly peed abit And I felt freakin happy about it

We'll see creation come undone These bones that bound us will be gone We'll stir our spirits 'til we're one Then soft as shadows we'll become 【=◈︿◈=】

I swear the next edm trend is ambient. It's gonna blow up this year.

this year marked the 10th year of this album. what an album!

So.... I'm here, watching the first sunrise of the year listening to this song... it's truly amazing....

Wtf is this feeling

And he's only 22 with music production skills beyond his years

If the world is about to end, this is the song that I will be listening to

Wind chimes remind me of when I lived in my other house; a simpler time. When I wasn't worried about the future, and the present all at the same time. This song gives me a feeling of peace, and happiness, with a hint of sadness because I know that life is gone, at least for now... Edit: This is more of a vent, because my parents are also stressing out, so I have no-one to tell this to and wanted to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading. :)

This song just makes me remember all the stuff I've been through and how I finally got to where I am in life.

the sound of wind chimes

I can’t believe I’ve heard this song for 6 years now and it still makes me sob and get chills like the first time. Porters songs are just infinite stories

This is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard so far in my life.

Did anyone else come here because of PORTER FUCKING ROBINSON

Who put this water in my eyes? Over a year later, this song still just emotionally grabs me.

happy 10th anniversary

this song. this song saved me. 2020 dec i was diagnosed with depression. i was barely eating, never getting out of bed, constantly sleeping. all i did was sleep or cry my eyes out, i felt there was nothing left in the world to live for. it was like the world had its colour and life sapped out of it, i was seeing through a monochrome lense almost. i discovered porter and i listened to this song. for the first time in months i felt just a spark of serotonin. it reminded me that happiness was still possible and not out of reach. ill never forget this song til the day i die. im so glad to be alive, because of porter.

I can't believe I've been in love with Worlds for 3 years already

I usually skip some parts in many songs, but this song deserve to be listen throughout and repeated.

first time a piece of music has ever made me cry. Absolutely beautiful

"let the dream never end, let the legend never die" is our cry, the cry of a sea of voices...

You know you made it when your song is in the NHL 15 trailer! Proud to say I've seen this guy live twice! :)

For those saying that this song lacks originality, creativeness or difference, I believe that you are neither right nor wrong. Everyone has their personal opinion on things and we should all respect that.

This is a medicine for people having existential crisis right now. May you find peace and gentleness in finding your own answers to the problems we haven't solved yet.

10 years....

Goose Bumps

I don't like the comments hating on people coming from a movie or another video like who cares lol people gotta find this amazing music some how

This should be our anthem for everything we truly value in life.

The beauty of 3:15 when the massive chords hit you is that it comes completely unexpectedly. When was the last time you felt so hit by a song like that? Porter Robinson, in this song but even more in Divinity, creates the most beautiful supersaws.

This made me cry. This is so beautiful.

I remember watching the NHL 15 trailer, and this song gave me fucking chills. I had to look it up, and I'm so glad I did.

Porter’s Music never fails to make me feel as if there’s something that I’m missing yet it’s something that I’ve never experienced. It’s like having a previous life flash before you. I never thought music could touch you so much. Touch you so much your chests gives a small gasp as if it’s inhaling for the first time. As if every breath is knocked out of you. This song just makes me feel like the end is near. But I feel like someone is there. At the end of a tunnel. I may not know them. But I’ve been waiting for them. You can see the final beam of white flash through and as if the earth is taking a final breath,the trees stir for a minute. You feel the sleep kick in and it’s like you’re leaving on another journey. A journey for which you’ve been preparing. A curl of a smile,eyes glinting. You look back on this Earth. Look at the trees whispering softly amongst each other,at the wind softly singing now. At the sun bleeding into slivers of ink and flames And your heart aches for minute. You think of cosmic flares of everything you’ve been through. All for it to end. But you remind yourself that you’re never truly alone. Even if your comfort are phantom arms. “It does look beautiful at the end” you mused.

My Boyfriend showed me this song today, he said that this song always reminds him of me, It makes me so happy that he connects me with such a masterpiece 💜

his whole album changed my life in all honestly.

This song helps me visualize everything I want to achieve in life and the person I hope to become... I listen to it a few times a week, and sometimes on a daily basis. If this song helps me achieve what I want to, I will include this song in my testimony and book! THANK YOU PORTER!!!!!!

not to be dramatic but this song has literally changed my entire life since i discovered it late 2020, a little late im aware but it completely made me think things differently and i dont think i'd be the person i am today if this song wasn't made. most underrated song on the entire album. Mainly the build up,, the climax is good sure but the build up is literally beautiful. i dont know what porter was on when he made this but i would like some,

Up at 2:12 AM tearing up to this thinking about life

This feels like Heaven on Earth... when I listen to this, I feel like I am a small part of something bigger than myself... as is everyone else. We choose who we want to be, and that makes us who we are... all different, but connected... deep down inside. Everyone has a purpose. You matter! You have the power to make a change... to change people's lives, just by what you say! Everyone has a choice... it's up to us, as individuals, what we do with that ability. So, whenever your feeling like you've lost or you can't find your purpose in life... just keep living, and be a positive influence... because life is short. It's alright to feel sad or angry... just don't let those emotions consume you. Live your life to it's fullest capacity... and enjoy every second of it.

Whooow, I’m Owen Wilson. Whooooow

I remember listening to this the day after my dog died, I went for a walk at the park just to distract myself, but I just ended up feeling alone , and I cried a lot at the park. It was just me , it’s a hidden park, so there was no one there , except for like 2 homeless people living there. There’s a field in the middle, filled with flowers bunch of trees surrounding too, I was walking towards the bright sun, and it was really ... I don’t know how to describe it, it just made me feel mentally better and it was beautiful. I have accepted her death, she always shows up in my dreams now, so , I feel like she’s (my dog) just waiting for my family and I on the other side. Okay, anyways, I’m supposed to draw Reigen Arataka , I have no idea how I ended up here, well bye.

"To share your art is to share your soul" -Terrence Mekenna What a beautiful soul shines through the art of Porter Robinson; nearly a decade I've listened to this song, and been moved every time I truly pay attention to it. Thank you for sharing this part of you Porter.

There's plenty of electronic music that's not necessarily big room... Some (NOTE: some) people are acting like Porter is a musical savior who's the first in DJ culture to ever make music that's not necessarily 'mainstream'.

My life feels like shit right now. But this song makes me know everything will eventually turn out good.

This song allows me to see with my eyes closed, hear with no air, feel with nothing to touch, and to live with nothing but my thoughts. It makes me understand. I hope one day everyone else can too.

It‘s 2024 and this song still makes me cry because it‘s so beautiful

I swear the synth is saying "I miss you".

Porter should collaborate with M83 or Blackmill :O

Happy 10th anniversary!

This is what heaven sounds like

I wrote a little story while listening to this: You're walking through an open white space. The ground is glass, like the back of an iPhone. When you look up, you see ice crystals floating in the air, like little diamonds, twinkling daintily. You keep walking, and as you trek further into this place you see beautiful sculptures of packed snow. You don't know what they are, but their shapes bring indescribable feelings out of a place that doesn't exist. Some evoke tears, some bring out memories, some are just there to be. There's a sense of feeling warm and cold simultaneously, and you feel a phantom hand on your shoulder. Nobody is there but you. "Let's see creation come undone..." Everything happens in a matter of seconds. The floor fades away from underneath you as the ice crystals shatter and fall. The sculptures fall apart into bits, but don't melt. The room turns dark, and you descend down. At first, you panic. You're in freefall. You can't see the ground. Terminal velocity haunts you like unpaid student debt. The music is at such a high volume you want to sing along, but with death's shadow so close to your side, you can't help but scream. As the ice falls past you, you can see yourself reflected back. Except, it's memories of you. Some are your own. Many aren't. In some you're the best person ever. In others you're a demon. A few see you as witty, hilarious, a great friend. One sees you as a speck of dust, an ant. Before you know it, all the frozen water bits have flown past you. With nothing left to do, you shut your eyes and wait for impact. "Let's see creation come undone..." All of a sudden, you stop falling, as if grabbed by an invisible hand. and gently lowered to the ground. The ice has become a pool of the clearest water you've ever seen. "These bones that bound us will be gone..." The area begins to lighten once more, trickling from black to space grey, to white. It's now warm. You feel a hug. You're still alone, but it feels nice nonetheless. The shape is familiar to you. A grin arrives on your face. "We'll stir our spirits til' we're one..." The snow from the sculptures begins to fall, the flecks resting in your hair as the spirit comforts you. The room fades between pale, dim colours. Mint, lemon, lavender, strawberry, ocean... "The softest shadows we'll become." You don't know what'll happen next, despite all that's happened before. All you know is you're here now, and that's alright. You blink. . . . You wake up.

Hey you, random person scrolling through the comments. Most of the time if people address you like I just did, it’s either to say hi or to ask for likes or something. I hope you’re having a good day right now, but that’s not my full point here. I don’t know why you’re scrolling through the comments. Perhaps you are just bored. Perhaps you want to see what other people think about the song. But maybe, just maybe, you want to know why this song makes you feel this way. I’ll quote some other people in the comments, who have gotten some of the joy this song makes you feel. “This feels like Heaven on Earth…” “as if there’s something that I’m missing but something I’ve never experienced…” “I want to live.” “This song makes me feel as if the end is near. But I feel like someone is there. At the end of a tunnel. I may not know them. But I’ve been waiting for them…” “Through all the pain, existence is crazy and beautiful.” “I love the feeling of being in complete darkness, in a cave, then suddenly you see a glimmer of hope which leads to more, and more light and you feel like the darkness was never there...” “Everything melts away. The pain, fear, and worries of today and tomorrow...it’s all gone.” “this feels like some sort of ethereal being is giving you a hug” Do you see? These people have already gotten part of the story. I might know more of the story, but I don’t have the words to tell it to you… or the words I have won’t work. I don’t know what to do. But I hope you see the things that other people have written, and piece together the rest for yourself, and see the full story of what this song makes you feel, why it makes you feel. Fellow Feeling, Hear the Bells, Goodbye To A World, Divinity. Sea of Voices. Beauty.

man.. this song...... this song man, its another level

I started listening to Porter about 6 years ago. His music always gives me chills whenever I listen to it, but since his last album came out I get overwhelmingly emotional whenever I hear this song, among a few others. Truly Porter is making masterpieces. I will always be grateful of his work.

Here's a short story to go with the song.. I wake up on the soft warm sand Looking right at the sky which was covered in purple clouds Hearing a strange but beautiful voice I got up, My mind unclear I went through the crystal trees nearing the heavenly voice. I crossed fog and mist in search for the beauty that sung it. Stumbled on rocks and Tripped on crystal vines I got up everytime I fell on the hard crystals And finally, I found the source of the voice In a clearing, a place where the purple crystals turned white I stare and stare, not wanting to interrupt No one was singing, But some thing was A statue like figure in the very center of the clearing, made of crystals that changed in colour every so often. Then, I looked at myself from the reflection of the crystals And realized... I was myself A crystal

3:07 "We'll see creation come undone." *then the song just gets better*

So it's 3 am and I'm on a porter Robinson binge on the verge of tears after this song and I totally forgot my phone was about to die and it died milliseconds after the song ended and I didn't know whether to be happy or panic but I just. I just can't express the level of nostalgia and heartache and deep calmness this song gives me

This song makes me wish the world wasn't ending. Everything's falling apart. Global warming, rising tension between nations, the surging and evolving pandemic, corporate control, brutality and discrimination, all the bullshit happening. We're at the beginning of our societal endgame. But I just want to embrace the beauty of the world, one last time. If we can't save it, at least give us the memories of it to cherish forever. I wish... I wish we could remedy the chaos. I really do. But there is no free and worthy future, not when we're trying what we're trying. You want a bright and prosperous tomorrow? You can only get there through bloodshed, revolution and pain. And it saddens me that this is the only path to redemption, of people and planet. I didn't want this. Did any of us? But this is what we get, what we have to deal with.

this is making me feel some type of way

Mad props to Porter for doing non big room stuff on his new release despite being blown up n all. I think only a few producers have his kinda mindset..Mat Zo comes to mind, his damage control album was amazing. I just hope the rest of Porter's tracks are as good as this if not better. Sea of Voices sounds more like an intro.

3:14 I swear my heart stopped for a second there after the drop

happy 10 years
