The Oh Hellos - The Four Winds (Notos, Eurus, Boreas, Zephyrus) Full Album 

That is one hell of a line

Can I use this in the story I’m using?

very Patrick Rothfuss!

zephyr is a god not a creature mate

@@AshenPeach In your logic, that makes a Breeze, Winds, and Gusts creatures? You okay?

Yesss my jaw dropped the first time I heard it

YESSSSS

I'd heard Constellations before listening to the full EP, but it still hit like a truck when I listened to that melody and realized what was happening (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I didn't even realize until i look up at myscreen and moved my mouse

What did you think when you were done listening?

@@agonyoverdrive4289 good music :)

​@@skyeaurelliah9883Which album was your favorite? Or song? My fave album is Eurus and my fave song is Hieroglyphs

@@flaoro I think I'll have to listen again to decide, too early to tell now

same, i will never regret this

That’s just so chill ✨

@@IdentifiantE.S This band is great, I just found out and I think its super chill too.

@@caste.chronicles Yes !

i don’t find this comment section to be the place that i should spread cynicism which is the emotion i find when learning about history, especially usa history, but i would not reccomend suggesting the falsenarrative that america was built on freedom. i know any american could tell you that

@@noctuabird Before I respond, I don't want to misinterpret what you are saying, but, in what way was it not founded on the idea of freedom and separation from the Monarchy and Britain?

@aldgate I will warn this is a very cynical comment on a place I’d like to enjoy as a gentler place of reflection, but this album actually touches a lot on these themes as well. Because it was founded on fundamentalist puritanical religion, the backs of people kept as property, and the deaths of countless people that the land truly belonged to- both accidentally to disease and purposefully by g*nocide. That the founding fathers only wanted white landowning men to be “free” here. Many of the first people who came here were not from Britain at all, but rather from all over the place, but particularly Holland and Germany and France when their religious views were too extreme for even the Protestants there. I highly recommend you looking further into it and reconsider who ever told you America was the land of freedom and what their goals were. A healthy amount of criticism for any ideology is important.

@@TheSakuraSunset I thank you and the other commenter for trying to educate me on the subject, however I am well versed and I think you have both misunderstood what I was trying to say. 

My original comment was not trying to make a wide statement on the reality of life in America, merely ideas that country was founded on. Ideas that compared to most of Europe at the time, completely revolutionary and liberating. The United States brought about a completely new societal system, a new social structure that didn’t exist anywhere else in the European sphere. 
 
Despite this there are still major issues in even suggesting early America was a land of “freedom”, which is why I chose to use the word “sense”, as I was hoping to emphasis how this was more of a feeling and an idea, instead of something more material. 
 
I was not trying to downplay the horrors of colonialism on the native peoples of America, or the role slavery played in the matter. The comment, being so short in nature, and really not intended to be a matter of debate, didn’t include the various way in which the U.S failed the idea of freedom, for example slavery. I honestly didn’t think this was needed as, I generally thought this was pretty obvious. 

Your comment about the extreme religious beliefs of the European settlers is a more interesting one. However, due to the variety in religious beliefs, along with a large amount of not very religious people living in the United States at the time of independence, this never really strongly affected the overall foundation of America in regards to how free it was when compared to Europe. 

 The comment was always a comparison between the U.S and Britain (but you can include Europe and Western Asia in that), and so was the comment about the sense of freedom. In a vacuum it is very clear how America was not the land of the free, and how the ideas that founded it were not, by MODERN standards, particularly liberating. However, with the backdrop of Britain (a more free place than most of Europe at the time), and Europe as a whole, there is a very clear difference between the two. This was what I was trying to comment on.

Druid type beat

​@@sheepketchup9059these feel like real life druid spells

you get it

The Good, The True & The Beautiful 🫶🏽

Words cannot express how much that song makes me feel 😭

i am also doing that (im just sitting in the dark imagining things)

@@midvamp I am sure you will have exciting adventures soon enough. ( good luck 👍)

hey mood, i'm living my little polytheist monk life and drawing art of my gods to these tunes

These do feel like the spells of a druidic circle in which the archdruid multiclassed into bard

I'm a young bard forced to study the way of trades, but instead of focusing I'm eavesdropping the tunes of other bards in the distance. (Business studies whilst listening to this)

You could say they are straight up fire🔥

Haha, yes. Same. It's got that gentle quality that gets me in a happy mood, without anything overpowering to distract me. Perfect for writing. I've already gotten 3k words down today with this on repeat! I almost never get past 2k normally because I get bored and quit.

My type of Gospel but brother why wouldn't you fully commit to the most important person in your life.

@@fellowgames8245everyone has a light for their path, lower your eyes to yours and walk your own my brother. You’re not going to be able to wake the sleeper and if you could they wouldn’t thank you for it anyway, so let them dream.

@@euthymialy John 8:12 Jesus spoke to them, saying,“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” there is only one way brother I hope hes eyes have opened that he may see Christ the brightest light

fr this genre is so good

The description has a little on the names overall; there's a bit about the Abrahamic religions in Eurus with the Tower of Babel ("I babble on" and a crumbling tower) and tables in temples.

the albums are named after wind gods of the Greek pantheon, each one is based on where they come from, Boreas is the Northern wind, Zephyrus is the West wind, Notos is the South one, and Eurus is the East wind, if you take their art on the albums it also inspire a season, Notos is summer due to it having a Cicada, Eurus is Fall the migration of birds, Boreas for winter, the bear hybernating and Zephyrus the spring, the breeding season for many animals as rabits. The rythms associated with each album also seems to evoke that feeling of seasons. Also there seems to be lore among the 4 albums, at the start on Notos Father Ignorance and Mother Fortuna seem to be antogonizing each other, but at the end they seem to come to peace in Zephyrus, telling their story through the 4 albums

a lot of the songs are political and draw inspiration from, as kentario1610 has stated, the abrahamic religions "On the Mountain Tall" was released in 2017 and is about how people weaponize the Bible to further their own agenda "Though the fire and wind / Shattered down the hills with a rage unbent/And a fear that shook the firmament / He was not within them, the clatter of brass and drums" the fear-mongerers and rabble-rousers might bluster and bloviate, but He (as in God) is not with them honestly ngl, I always had a sneaking suspicion that the song was more specifically directed at Donald Trump than anyone else. one of the lines mentions the act of "Firing bricks from broken canon and prose / To build a wall so high it reaches the heavens in the sky," and Trump is infamous for wanting to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border "Torches" was written in the aftermath of the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally. the entire song is about how violence is perpetuated by the cycle of hate and ignorance "I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth / (Running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth) / It's got you burning at the stake / Innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take" hate groups, such as those present at the charlottesville rally, condemn others who are different from them regardless of whether they are innocent or guilty. it is not about what crimes they've committed so much as it is about how unfamiliar they are "And Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all / (Brothers of us all, brothers of us all) / As he sets our torch aflame / Chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create" ignorance binds the bigots together, and they feed into each other's hatred, stirring themselves up to hunt down a perceived threat. the threat does not actually exist, of course. it is a product of their own creation arising from their fear of the unknown "Over and over, again / We keep that old wheel turning / We spin it around" thus the cycle of violence continues "Mandatory Evac/Counting Cars" is supposed to be about Hurricane Harvey, I think? for context, the Heaths live in San Marcos, Texas, so they would've had to evacuate to avoid the storm "New River" alludes to the story of Noah's Ark and the Flood "Eurus" is a cautionary tale against the greed exhibited by those with power in the upper echelons of society "But Zeus and his pantheon of kin / Take the first nine out of every ten / Minas, like lightning changing hands / It all returns back to his pockets, in the end" Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, takes the wages of others "You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave / Nothing we make can we bring" coveting material wealth is useless when the dead have no need for it "As Fortuna sits idly by / I spin her wheel with all my might / Crushing my kin for warring-wage / Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye" greed is a destructive force that leads to conflict "Hieroglyphs" is about how some Christians are too focused on the soul and what comes after death to care about the body and what's occurring in the present "Stamping your heels along with the drum / Praying the serpent's underneath one of 'em / Like there's some villain left to defeat / Instead of a dance with a rhythm and beat" the serpent represents the Devil. According to Christian belief, Jesus's death was the ultimate sacrifice that defeated the Devil, so Christians should not be acting like there's still some great evil for them to destroy "Cause you've been too busy thinking ahead / Of where we're all going after we're dead / To maybe consider our bodies are worth / More than the dust that we can return" "Passerine" is about the hypocrisy of Christians, who are supposed to model themselves after Jesus "Cause you were the song that I'd always sing / You were the light that the fire would bring / But I can't shake this feeling that I was only / Pushing the spear into your side again" the "you" here refers to Jesus, who the singer recognizes as their song and light. however, they feel as though they aren't acting as they should, expressing the sentiment that they are "Pushing the spear into [his] side again," as the Roman centurions did "See, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like / Centurions than any little messiah / And as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine / I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind but" Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah. the word "Christian" literally means "little Christ." saying that their "birds of a kind;" i.e., their fellow Christians, are looking more like centurions than any little messiah once more conveys the idea that Christians are being hypocritical and doing more harm than good "Boreas" was made in 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown "Yeah, I’m one spoon away / From setting the ends of my hair on fire / If I’m kindling for a little while / At least I'd feel of use" While I myself found quarantine to be rather enjoyable, I am aware that many/most people did not/do not share this attitude with me "Making lists, folding laundry / Keeping tidy with my radio show / I’d be lying if I told you / I’m keeping tidy anymore" Not everyone is suited to a life of quiet isolation and repetition, and Maggie sings of this "Rio Grande" is about immigrants and the U.S. border policy "Somewhere down south of here / There's a woman with an armload of grass / Weaving a basket / That’ll float the Rio Grande / She'll send her baby off in it / The river running wild and fast / To curry the favor / Of whatever Pharaoh owns the land" like Jochebed, the mother of Moses, this woman on the southern side of the Rio Grande sends her baby away on a river. Jochebed did so to prevent Moses from being killed. were it not for his own safety and protection, she would not have put him in that basket. the people crossing the Rio Grande in hopes of entering the U.S. likewise would not make the journey unless they truly believed that the other side of the river is safer for them than the side they come from

​@@LivVirtual i really like your interpretation

probably some people based on the time period of moshuku tensei took place thinks that Nobles are decedents from gods or was chosen by gods to be leaders and Boreas is a god of some sort

the albums are named after four greek wind gods. mokushu tensei probably just took the same inspiration and went somewhere else.

Nope not genshin, but very popular in genshin fandom!! I want to day it's a modern inde folk style music! There are lots of Germanic and other European roots in modern folk though, which mondstadt is based on the traditions from mostly German roots! Which is where you feel the similarity!

Well, it's kinda hard to strictly define 4 albums that were specifically made to evoke different feelings. That, and the description was simply referring to the genre of the band itself, not the 4 albums.

This reads as someone who only prefers a narrow range of music, and someone who thinks deviating from that range makes it objectively bad. Despite the major part of experiencing music and art, in general, being subjective.

@@josh___something You don’t know anything about my taste in music, in fact I think your reaction shows you’re projecting defensively, otherwise you’d simply say “eh, it’s not for everyone” and move on.

@@pete8276 >"Otherwise you's simply say 'eh, it's not for everyone' and move on." ditto to your first comment, buddy. Why post "this is X+Y(This is not a good thing)" on a random yt video of an album compilation that the artist themselves likely isn't gonna see? Really, what does this comment serve, what does some weirdo comparison that manages to disparage 3 bands because they sound similar? What opinion does this express that adds to any conversation other than "This person dislikes these, and thinks it's important enough to broadcast this in a comment section"? All 'round odd hater energy just to be different in a random comment section.

@@josh___something I can't believe you wrote so much. It's obvious you took my critique of this album personally. Finally someone stumbled across my comment who likes all three bands enough to take 300% offense. I think I hoped for something like this to happen but never expected it would. I'm like the dog who caught the mail van. Genuinely, you have no idea how proud I am right now of three-months-ago-me.

@@pete8276 I'm just like this brother, I write a lot. I only know 2 of the bands mentioned, and consider to only like 1. And I was right, you are just a massive hater. Just in this comment section to whine about something hoping to catch some attention. But seriously? Pride is the word you'd use for what you thought "Riling someone up 300%"? That's... kinda pathetic. I still find it a mystery that someone thinks "oh someone wrote a really long, seemingly irritated paragraph to something I said" is somehow worthy of pride. Like, cmon. You thinking I'm somehow a fan of the 3 bands and am somehow "Fuming" is getting you off? (Not literally, I hope) Why?... What joy is there to be gained for fishing for this? (Admittedly, I'm just commenting for engagement. I like the albums, and am just continuing this so more people might hear this. And it doubles as personal curiosity as to what kind of person leaves a weird-ass nothing hate(?) comment.)
