The Rare Occasions | "Notion" Official Music Video 

Dude this is like finding a hidden gem, I wanna keep it to myself but at the same time I want it to blow up.

I absolutely love the lyrics: "I'm sure there won't always be sunshine but there's this momentary beam of light". Means so much to me 💙

WHY ARE THEY MAKING THIS SONG LOOK LIKE A MOVIE

You searched this on your own. The algorithm did not give this video to you. Good job.

The fact that this song is a couple years old and is poppin now makes me so happy. It means no matter what happens the good music will always push through. Proud of y’all and keep making great music

Nostalgia. Regret. Fulfillment. Always in motion.

WE GOING BACK TO OUR CHILDHOOD WITH THIS ONE 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🙏🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When summer vacations starts i gonna put this song

I lost a close friend this week. We both loved this song cause we would always skateboard to it. This song helps me understand that I have to live no matter what! I’m so happy this song is here for me. In his memory, long live Magdiel

This song feels like a combo of both sadness and euphoria at the same time.

I never heard this song before. But it just has the nostalgia feeling to it.

If this comment blows up or not, so be it. This is a gem that I wish I had discovered earlier. I first heard this song that my friends did for a sound recording technology ensemble project last year when I was in college. Needless to say, I was hooked. I have a friend of mine that encouraged to try listening to indie and expand my horizon. The indie bands he listens to have a nice vibe that I can appreciate. This taught me that not all rock music has angry screaming and yelling, which was the notion I held onto for the longest time I could remember. Why didn't I try indie earlier? Well, like I said, it was the notion of rock music having nothing but angry screaming and yelling that held me back from trying something new. Thank you for changing all that.

it is a rare occasion when songs this good come out

I lost my father this month, this was his favourite song since it came out.Thank you for being the best father for 14 years dad.😢

I wanna keep listening

This song never gets old 😭

0:11 Lyrics: Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion But I don't need the comfort of any lies For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending Rise Oh, back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters That my end will be torture beneath the earth 'Cause I don't see what they see, when death is staring at me I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all If you could pull the lever to carry on forever Would your life even matter anymore? Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion But it's not what you signed up for I'm sure there won't always be sunshine But there's this momentary beam of light You don't have to wait those salty decades To get through the gate, it's all in front of your face I'm sure there won't always be sunshine I'm sure there won't always be sunshine But there's this momentary beam of light I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion For every shining second, this fragile body beckons You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters Sure it's a calming notion, but it's a lie...

This song is real art and the start is just perfect and I’m so glad 6-9 years later people still appreciate this

I love this

best music I've ever heard in my life

This song is a memory core to me, I used to think about all the fun times I had with my friends during elementary school when this song played. Now it's all gone. I miss my old friends.

We don’t search for old songs… we search for old memories.

RU-vid gave me a 15 second unskippable ad on this bruh, I needed this

Combination of nostalgia and sadness 😭

Someone like this please i want to come back to this song so i can listen to it forever

"Sure its a calming notion, but its a LIEEEE" Chills. Literal chills.

the lyrics resonate so much

Bro this song gives me freaking goosebumps. One of the best songs

im so glad this is small for selfish reasons but its like a diamond in a world full of dirt, i hope it blows up in time

6 years and still one of the best songs out there my opinion

this music is everywhere

It feels like time has stopped

i just discovered this band an hour ago and i'm already in love. you're underrated af

“Sure its a calming notion, perpetual in motion; but i dont need the comfort of any li-iI-IIIes.” That first line hits hard

I love it!

the running is the perfect timeing when the drums go

I like how everyone is talking about how awesome the song is, but no body mentions the cult in the video

Brings a sense of nostalgia, like when I first realized that worth cannot be achieved, but always is there with you.

This is.. beautiful.

Nostalgia.

This song still hits from 2017 to 2024 Good job bro 😁

I'm leaving this comment here so when anyone likes it I get a notification Edit: i can't belive that my comment actually blew up omg

Everyone: wow! Such a good song! The lyrics are so deep! Me: HOLY- what is goin on in the music video

this is my favorite song so far..

Beautiful song

This reminds me of that one audio where someone asks “is there anything after we die?” And the answer is “no. And that’s okay”

Lyrics: Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion But I don't need the comfort of any lies For I have seen the ending and there is no ascending Rise Oh, back when I was younger, was told by other youngsters That my end will be torture beneath the earth 'Cause I don't see what they see, when death is staring at me I see a window, a limit, to live it, or not at all If you could pull the lever to carry on forever Would your life even matter anymore? Sure it's a calming notion, perpetual in motion But it's not what you signed up for I'm sure there won't always be sunshine But there's this momentary beam of light You don't have to wait those salty decades To get through the gate, it's all in front of your face I'm sure there won't always be sunshine I'm sure there won't always be sunshine But there's this momentary beam of light I could cross the ocean in a fit of devotion For every shining second, this fragile body beckons You think you're owed it better believing ancient letters Sure it's a calming notion, but it's a lie

I'm a huge metal head but every now and then I just find songs like this and can't do anything but thoroughly enjoy it. Indie is such a good chill vibe. Well done guys.

this always keeps me vibin ngl

노래 좋다

This is one of those songs that you can lie down in your bed and think about life

this is the song for the first day of summer

I love this song

"but i don't need the comfort of any lies" hits my soul

Notion isn't just a song, it's a cultural reset, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world

This is so good I listen to this every day

The start is so cool😮

2017: wow this is actually a bop! 2018: this song is so underrated! 2019: this song fills me with so many emotions 2020: this brings back so many memories 2021: *the single moms 2 miles away: 😢*

I honestly don’t know why but this song makes me so emotional. Like it makes me think “what have I lost?” This song just makes me feel so awakened. Love the song keep it up!!

This brings back so much nostalgia

めっちゃいい曲やん

Man. Everytime I feel empty or just want to cry on my own, this music aways helps. This music just to amazing.

Song makes me think of growing up. The future, teenage years, all that. Time goes by so fast and the fact this song can recreate the feeling of knowing that.. is everything to me

Fantastic

beautiful, truly beautiful.

"Oh back when i was younger" One Lyrics to fulfill me with Nostalgia

underrated af

I can listen to this all time its so good❤️

i love this song,It was one of my first songs i actually listened to

The song with the video makes you feel a little terrified, especially at the end, but when you hear the song without the video or in design, you will feel enthusiasm and nostalgia for the past full of memories and sadness. A wonderful song that brought together all the feelings that I love to feel at the same time. “Continue making songs.”

I’ve listened to this song so much over the past few years and it’s upsetting how underrated this song is

yay, finally found it! Because of your short, I swear other creators... I like the start even more than the famous tiktok part, it is so soothing

i feel sad for those people who haven't listened or discovered this masterpiece.

1:59 imagine waking up and grown ass men were just huddling over you and doing the most goofy dance known to man

I saw this on one of my shorts. It's amazing.. I.. Can't believe such a masterpiece 6yr.s ago..

This is my favorite song of all time.Just before love songs

This is my favorite song. It perfectly sums up everything i feel about religion and life and death all of which can be so heavy and depressing but at the same time the song feels hopeful and makes me feel like running towards something

I absolutely adore this songs underlying philosophical tone behind the immaculately upbeat and exhuberant progression. To me this song hits at face value, when you just absorb the lyrics and their immediate meaning.. to draw that vivid connection. Life is fragile, we all want comfort in it, some choose to live it for each and every new day, some fear the passage of time. No matter where you fall on life's spectrum of choice freedom, it's momentary and beckons you with a frail call. Each silent reminder much like the last, conveying that it can't last forever no matter how oblivious you may become to the innate certainty. One facet of the song that I'd imagine some people would've glossed over are the lyrics clearly referencing the proposition of eternal life through "salty" decades of devout worship to reach that final goal. Now I may have drawn that connection myself, perhaps with a hint of bias surfacing my interpretation, nonetheless the blatant grey area feels almost naturally there for you to reach a similar epiphany despite it not having said that directly. I'm essentially going full circle here trying to piece together the almost story like picture that is being described. Moving on, it very clearly attempts at illustrating 'falsehoods' claimed as indisputable truth in old 'letters' or scriptures. Anyone else catch onto any of the subtle undertones paving religious contradiction? To wrap, I suppose the song in one collective thought, is that there is no proper expectation to be had, loathsome lies for comfort isn't what this life is about, what's right in front of you is all you get. You fill in the rest. Because it's not just about the prospect that death brings, it's about living. Also to note, this is purely my personal interpretation. It is not intended to be hateful, disrespectful, or to speak distastefully of any religious minorities. The principle of our lives is that we have a say in the matter of what does and doesn't affect us, each decision is a mark of the path we all take as individuals. I cordially accept any criticisms some of you may have with my implicit exposition, though I'd kindly ask that it is kept constructive, and passive. I'm merely an enjoyer, much like the rest of you all.

After six years, this still hits hard

I will never not love this song and the memories that rush back to me when I hear it. This will forever be amazing

You either saw this on your home page 6 years later and clicked it, or you searched this with your own free will and you're an absolute legend for that

I'M OFFICIALLY ADDICTED

this song is Fireee

This actually hits home, initially when I listened to it I thought it was talking about religion but after watching the video it really hits hard for me. I was actually raised in a cult and my sibling and I have been healing and struggling with the transition of having left it now that we're adults. It's been 2 years for me. Very few people really get how much of a struggle it is just keeping your sanity, personahood and sense of self alive while it's being hunted down for the entirety of your childhood to early adulthood

😍me encanta 😍

The beat drop and the stutter at 2:39 is craaazy,its a crime to not recognize the talent and effort put into this song

This song gives me nostalgic feelings for stuff that didn't happen

this just hits different eyerytime

Can’t believe it’s been 4 years since this came out and I still listen to it daily

so glad they’re getting recognition with this song the last couple years!! heard it playing in the wild at a festival!

This tena brings back childhood memories

This song can put you in a good mood no matter what

Esta canción merece más vistas, una JOYAA

本当に良い曲なのでこれからも頑張ってください！

Truly is a ✨ *rare occasion* ✨ for a music vid to be THIS GOOD

Discovering new music is forever a happiness that never stops giving. 💯🔥

Crazy how the song is almost 5 years old, once a masterpiece, always a masterpiece. Much love!
