thank you brian and adam for more than i could ever explain. there are so many nights i thought i wouldn’t never get through if it wasn’t for the beautiful work you two made. ❤️❤️ rest in peace
I was listening to this the other night in my dark room and it totally ceased to be a song and became more a space rather than sounds. I listen to alot of drone music but something about this track in particular. That night, this song seeped into all of the other sensory systems in my brain and became an experience.
caseystu123 you are so right about the song becoming a space. That description is spot on! I find myself drawn to this song also. I'm mesmerized. I also listen to a lot of drone music. For decades, really. Brian Eno is my blood type. I'm also a poet. But this song. It's as if something is glacially moving. I can listen to myself in the music. I feel a gnostic headband. I guess SOTL are over...no new cd. I'd see them in concert on the desert salt flats. You could hear their drones for miles in the canyons. A soundtrack for the day. What God decides to play for the planet that afternoon. The music is the Buddha!s stare.
Feels like I've watched this video hundreds of times. I was a child in South Carolina and this song pulls old memories out of my head. Now I live far away from rich deep forests. When I get homesick I come back here. I can smell the humidity, moss and dirt like I'm there. For a little over 18 minutes my homesickness fades. Thank you for this wonderful video. Love and peace to all out there.
@@fleaship6134 i can relate. some years ago i realized that my desire wasnt to disappear from this world, but from society. i turned to nature and slowly found the meaning and sense of being that i haven't felt in a very long time... i hope youre feeling better and youre never alone
I used to listen to this song all the time late at night. It's been a while but I just happened upon it again and have to say this video is damn near perfect. It captures that sense of infinity the song evokes - as if you were melting into the world and could feel your whole life, every single little forgotten moment, emotion, thought, kiss, desire, ambition, regret within you, like a long breath outstretching to gasp in the very corners of time and space, and all at once your life and your dreams and your world unfolds before you, endlessly, forever.
Don't think that way, it's not smart. Just try to get inside Heaven, look up and to the future. Earth has nothing for you, what you may think you can get from other time God have that multiply for you in Heaven. Peace and God bless you.
we are on a ball in space. why are we here? everytime i look up into the sky i see a fire burning, far away, but still close enough to touch it. i see other animals look up into the sky too, like they are thinking the same thing. i feel like a child, and i am old.
It kinda reminds me of the Spyro homeworld soundtracks, they were always peaceful and seemed so dreamlike. Hearing this really brings me back to my childhood when I was still around my cousins and old friends, but sadly nothing ever stays the same. Never thought such a random suggestion from RU-vid would lead me to think back into the past like this... just listening to this does wonders! The comments demonstrate that
Just discovered SotL today. What a nice break from what I normally listen to! Great visuals. Reminds me of my childhood, riding in the back seat on a road trip looking up at the trees.
+Matt Fitzpatrick It seemed so normal, did it not? We became used to it as kids, because we grew up with being driven around in cars. Deep down I knew that there was something magnificent going on. It's something that, biologically, humans were not really meant to experience, and yet, here we are. Back then, as a child, I did not have the ability to put it into words like I do now. Thank you for putting that memory back into my mind.
This may be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. It reminds me, in a sense, of Harold Budd's "Bismilahi Rahman ar Rahim" in it's sheer scale of overpowering cosmic bliss and wonderment.
this song brings me at peace when everything isn't going to well or if life is just being difficult it's best to keep yourself happy and at peace for who knows what will happen at the end of it all i wish is to see my love one again but for now i will continue my long and hard journey to get to where i am to where i want to go maybe ill die later but for now ill embrace my peace and let everyone else have there's for i will always find myself in a state of loneliness but that doesn't mean i should be on my knees and wait for it to all end rather i will do my best to continue the life i have now but if its my time to leave this beautiful land so be it ill rejoice in happiness to say goodbye one last time but i will be sad for the ones i leave behind ill miss them so much but ill see my old ones again and there ill finally have my peace forever but the i cannot say for shear where ill end up but that is another story for me to find later in life thank you and may you live a life of happiness
@@synqFPS hey this was my old account my old phone broke never got to log out but thank you too and the other 23 people who liked it while i was going through stuff(and still now but not so bad) im glad people saw my comment and enjoy the message while im not Saint i love to make those feel at ease with themselves and the situations they deal with
Speaks something more true and pure of consciousness. Above the limitations we often feel but do not truly know. Something more pure in tone than the one to shout and explode at curiosity of existence. Perhaps greater than their own fear can handle - but what is fear - an electrically stimulated emotion and physical brain - in terms of wondering where we truly came from or truly go after.
This is art. It moves me and relaxes me. It helps me get through a difficult period. It reminds me how in the end we are one with nature and the universe. It gives me perspective and makes me realize my "problems" are not so bad and shouldn't affect me after all. Thank you so much for that wonderful little gem. I needed to write a comment after watching it so many times.
The producer of this video was able to catch e.x.a.c.t.l.y. how I view the world and everything around me. And this song, being forever blissful, how I feel when I look at things.
Nice video! Reminds me of the drive in western Montana or Lake Superior in Minnesota. Ballasted Orchestra was a pretty dark album and I feel that this song is a fitting ending, It feels like you've made it out of an unpleasant event.
Stars of the Lid is more than a reflection of an era. It’s a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A decadent wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the infinity. This sound architecture is an translucid and short tunnel that leads to light
This song is just flawless. Makes me think about the Yndi Halda album "Enjoy Eternal Bliss", that's quite what it is: eternal bliss. Stars of the lid are huge music and dream producers
A brilliant piece of music that doesn't need describing, just listening to it says it all. Absolutely stunning. The video for this is really mesmerising. Anyone coming across this should also listen to "I will surround you" from Avec Laudenum. I often back to back these two tracks. Thanks Jonathan for uploading.
Wow...how would you categorize this music; to what genre would you say this music belongs? I'd love to find more similar to this. It is hypnotic...meditative. It is an instrumental piece without drums! I wouldn't have imagined this would be my kind of sound - how wrong. I love it!! I have to do some searching on UTube for more from this particular artist and more music like this!!
Sitting in my bed just thinking how I get sleep Cause my problems don’t let me rest But my mind was chill while I was thinking how I resolve my problems
Everytime this track starts i look at my dog and he laughs at me and with me. WE GAZE ENDLESSLY into eachothers eyes, him into my soul - me into his - we are beasts of different breeds but still we understand this music, my dog has his tail begin to WAG TO THE FREAKING BEAT of this song... irreparably magical... quintaessencial soul. I laugh and laugh and laugh beforei cannot stop anymore and I begin to shoot my goo so damn hard it hurts and breaks me into pieces.... dont be like me,, keep in contact'' with family, stay happy, no more microwave dinners and less SODIUM, people talk about sodium like some kinda freaking MIRACLE DRUG but dont freaking put that shit in your veins or youll LITERALLY DIE.
To me, this piece has a “euphoric feeling while driving home from somewhere special” feeling, as well as a “dawn of a new age after the apocalypse” vibe. I like it.
