Around this time 8 years ago I remember I found this song and I like it so much that I spent days listening to it. I have one vivid memory of me being in my room, with a door open, sitting in front of my computer and enjoying the song with this particular video while my dad would be somewhere behind me in the living room. I remember his presence and I cannot believe that this is all gone now. 2-3 months later I left my home and my country to seek a new life and in the search of my happiness my dad passed away from cancer on 02.09.2017. This song helps me relive that October evening in my old place with the presence of my father, this time is gone now, as well as my dad, the house we used to rent for 12 years, the car he used to drive, it's all gone. I built everything from 0 and in less than 8 years I have everything I could think of, a good career, good friends, a beautiful wife, and a nice place to live, but sadly he didn't manage to see the successes that he hoped to see from me. He didn't see where I live, what I do, who I married and didn't hear any of my life stories. He left this place with a hope that I will be a man one day who could accomplish 10 times more than he had. He didn't manage to see it happening. This song is the only thing that makes me remember that I had this simple and easy life with little responsibilities, and a valuable family member who was there for me. Don't take things for granted in life, your life could change drastically in months even in weeks or days. Use the time that you have to speak to your mom, visit your family, learn to draw or whatever you had initially planned, and if you have kids spend time with them, tomorrow you'll be the parent that will have to leave them on their own. My dad's last regret in the hospital, the last time I saw him, was that he didn't spend more time with me, going out in parks and being together. Thank you Ulrich for making this beautiful music, my only time traveling machine that I have with me. And I want to thank the algorithm for reminding me about this song, randomly, two days ago, which was a day before his anniversary
From Wikipedia: on Ulrich's next album, Goodbye. In an interview he said: "I have always loved music that has both elements: melancholy and sadness as a description of the current situation you are in, but at the same time a hopeful, utopian element that reminds you of the possibility of a different life."
In some weird, alternate universe I'd love it if there existed a soundtrack for Sonic CD made by Ulrich. I dunno why I'm thinking that, just the whole past/present/good and bad future versions of each level with their own music thing might lend itself really well there.
Λατρεύω να βλέπω στα σχόλια αυτό το υπέροχο κομμάτι να σημαίνει κάτι ξεχωριστό για τον καθένα, χωρίς να ξεχνιέται με το πέρασμα του χρόνου. Κάθε λίγο πάλι εδώ βρισκόμαστε. Αλλά το γεγονός ότι έχει σκηνές από Intercity, πέρα από το ότι ταιριάζει στον τίτλο του, χτυπάει ακόμα πιο πολύ στις δικές μου αναμνήσεις. Ατέλειωτα ταξίδια, από τη μια άκρη της Ελλάδας στην άλλη Χριστούγεννα, Πάσχα, καλοκαίρι, ατέλειωτη αναμονή, ατέλειωτα χιλιόμετρα. Αν ήταν timelapse της ζωής μου θα με έδειχνε να στριφογυρίζω με κάθε δυνατό τρόπο στο κάθισμα, προσπαθώντας μάταια να πείσω τον εαυτό μου να κοιμηθεί. Κι αν ήμουν τυχερός, στα τελευταία ταξίδια, ένα cd player με τέτοιες κομματάρες και διάρκεια μπαταρίας μια ώρα το πολύ από τις 12 του ταξιδιού. Και μόνο μια έγνοια στον κόσμο, το πτυχίο. Σχεδόν γελάς κοιτάζοντας πίσω... Σε ευχαριστώ που το ανέβασες
I went through a divorce two and a half years ago (after seventeen years of marriage) and it almost killed me emotionally. It took me two years to get over it. Every now and again I'd listen to this tune and it would help me keep my bearings straight. May the Lord bless Ulrich Schnauss for making it.
I really like this artist! heard this song on pandora last night, and woke up with it on my mind. Going to buy this one! Really makes me feel like I'm on a train; felt different feelings, like one does when leaving to travel
One of Ulrich's best songs. I agree with others that this is the best 'travelin' song' to the other side. Love his snappy percussion that sound like train wheels clicking over the rail ties.
this give me melancholy about my beloved country Greece...there are difficult times in here...we have to stay strong otherwise soon we re gonna say "Goodbye" Hellas...
Those trains remind me nagoya japan, california, puerto vallarta mx, so many memories, life is just a very short moment in time and space. Where do we go?
Never again be part of - What was once Felt so secure - Just adored this It is getting oh so cold It is getting cold... getting cold You know - You have to let it go Don't cry - So hard to say goodbye So hard to say goodbye - You have to let it go So hard to say goodbye
Listening to this at work, this song makes me want to throw these computers on the floor, pack my bag up , get in my car and never return. go to the place i want to be, start my life over, and live..... sigh
I agree totally. I discovered him on an ambient station on Pandora. I'm a dental hygienist and my patients are treated to Ulrich on a regular basis when they are in my office. They love him!! Makes dentistry much more pleasant than enduring the top 40 or oldies stations!!
So funny Jan O... that is how I also discovered him many years ago and have been glued to him ever since then. I can never get enough of his music. His music has helped me through some very challenging times in my life. Many of his songs are engrained in my soul... including this one :)
Lyrics : Heaven help take me back To the dream That life has been just once Answer my prayer Take away all the fear And let me fall asleep Let me fall asleep Fall asleep You know You have to let it go Don't cry So hard to say goodbye She will never return Never again Be part of what has once Felt so secure Just adored As it is getting oh so cold It is getting cold Getting cold You know You have to let it go Don't cry So hard to say goodbye So hard to say goodbye You have to let it go So hard to say goodbye
Ulrich is the absolute best to listen to alone in the car at night while driving on the freeway on a long trip watching a storm brew as the sky flickers in the far distance. Incredible.
Ulrich is a freaking genius. I hadn't listened to this song in a year or two and had almost forgotten how incredible it is. The amount of euphoria I experience when the chorus kicks in with its jubilating synths (3:56) is absolutely off the charts! I was so happy listening to this part, I almost couldn't believe it when next thing I know I get smacked in the face by my favourite melody of the entire track (4:50) that I had forgotten as well. Hard to contain my excitement for this beauty. I want to spin it over and over again and dance and sing along. Thank you Ulrich!
Heaven help take me back To the dream That life has been just once Answer my prayer Take away all the fear And let me fall asleep Let me fall asleep Fall asleep You know You have to let it go Don't cry So hard to say goodbye She will never return Never again Be part of what has once Felt so secure Just adored As it is getting oh so cold It is getting cold Getting cold You know You have to let it go Don't cry So hard to say goodbye So hard to say goodbye You have to let it go So hard to say goodbye Peelsa llaf Peelsa llaf em tel Dloc gnitteg Dloc gnitteg si ti Peelsa llaf Peelsa llaf em tel Dloc gnitteg
Goodbye, Sybil. I know I have to let it go; I must not cry even though that is all I want to do because, after all, it is "so hard to say goodbye." But this song, this most beautiful song fills the brokenness of my soul just enough for me to tell you what I must. Goodbye, Sybil. I will love you always.
This song helped bring.meaning back into.my life when I wanted to.commit suicide. I cried so.hard at how.beautiful this song was. I'm going to.play this song when my first child is born. I want to.hold him/her and.cry at how I've made it this far into life to.he able to hold him. This...is a work of creative genius and art
yew108 Thank you, my wife will have our first child in 2 months.. im so excited! Ive been waiting to use this song for so long, and im counting down the minutes!
Once I had an LSD trip and I listened this track for 2 hours on repeat cause I just can't get enough of it. And when I say listened, I mean truly listened, without doing anything else. This track is a trip itself.
I have not hardened my heart to the lord, i just do not believe in ''lord'' (god) and never did. You see this is the main difference between you and me, you are a believer and im an atheist. People like you are trying to explain the existance of the world and humanity by a god and religion and firmly believe in god, angels, paradise, hell and all that metaphysical nonsense. And people like me profess a strictly scientific or material approach to explaining the world around them. Did you know that all religion was first created as a way of controlling the minds of people to force them to do what government wants from them? Or did you know that in the entire history of mankind in religious wars and in the name of god was killed more people than because of any other reason? Learn some history my friend, and read some good books like Jack London's iron heel, and then you maybe will understand what religion is, why it was created and who benefits from it.
No, science can prove that christianity was created as just a religious superstructure of culture witch develops along with the society and nothing more. im afraid it is you let yourself get brainwashed by religious nonsense my friend. The rejection of scientific knowledge of the world is wrong and even stupid! Any belief is fake, because when you don't know something for sure, or can't explain it, then you just have to believe it if you really want. The same thing with god witch existance you believers cannot prove, but you believe in it just because the holy bible are telling you so! To survive and come to prosperity, mankind will sooner or later have to get rid of religious, recial or any other prejudices.
I've been listening to this song for 7 years now and today I still consider it as one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life; and I have heard many many many. Absolutely stunning. From the US and Colombia.
@@gregorymckenzie7511 No I'm not a time traveler because I don't need to. I bought the CD when this song WAS released in JULY 2007, not 2009 like you say. 2009 is incorrect. My comment is dated 2014. That's 7 years later. No DeLorean needed here. I hope you don't think that the date a song is posted on RU-vid is the actual release date. Do a simple Google search. See it for yourself.
This song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Im w young producer of ambient music and aiming to be like ulrich but I probably never will. I want this song to be played at my funeral when they lower my grave into the ground
@@ophelloDo you even know OP personally to say that?😆 The audacity and compulsion to dictate what is appropriate or not at HIS FUNERAL is crazy. The song has a hopefulness and melancholy feeling and is a great song choice for something generally sad🤨
The power of this...hit me on so many levels..waves of emotions,bliss,all the pain leaving,tears of joy. I love you all,this life,this gift. Thank you,thank you,thank you!
spot-on remark. too many emotions associated with this song personally for some reason it has accompanied me during some really painful periods in my life. pain and cleansing meet bursting into a wave of otherwordly bliss
This is the most special song in my life, i play it only in the most crucial and life changing moments, it resembles me the journey through life, breaking through bad things, depression, rejection, getting through the hardest moments in life. When all the hope is gone this piece sparks a new flame that helps me to keep moving.
Good question. Listening to Chill and Triphop brought me to Ulrich originally--but my guess is that those are close but not quite his genre. Maybe electronica? I'm guessing here, and thinking for many of us a reason why this guy is so special is that he's sort of created a sub-genre.
Quite a stunning and ambient piece of music, it reminds me of William Orbit's work, this track creates a space where ones mind can put memories into, it's like a form of music that is in between everything or between the now and the then.
This truly is an amazing song. Your lyrics are much better than the ones listed on the lyric generators on Google. And, in analyzing the words, makes much more sense to me now. I've loved this album since it's release. He's an amazing artist.
Heaven help take me back To the dream That life has been just once Answer my prayer Take away all the fear And let me fall asleep Let me fall asleep Fall asleep You know You have to let it go Don't cry So hard to say goodbye She will never return Never again Be part of what has once Felt so secure Just adored As it is getting oh so cold It is getting cold Getting cold You know You have to let it go Don't cry So hard to say goodbye So hard to say goodbye You have to let it go So hard to say goodbye Peelsa llaf Peelsa llaf em tel Dloc gnitteg Dloc gnitteg si ti Peelsa llaf Peelsa llaf em tel Dloc gnitteg ---------------------------------------------------------------- The last six lines are in English, but backwards. Clever, clever Ulrich!
Imagine if Ulrich competed in a mainstream music contest like Eurovision with a piece like this. He would blow all the people who only know mainstream music off their feet and would probably win too.
Yes, that´s true. In mainstream it´s often more about the appearence than the actual quality of the music so you are probaly right. Many people don´t know what they are missing.
