Being awake at 4am feels like everyone else on Earth is gone, and while that's a bad thing, you're at peace with it. This playlist really encapsulates that feeling.
As a teenager, I would often stay awake all night and sleep most of the morning away. This playlist brings to mind one of my favorite memories of that timeframe: my brother had to work early in the morning and his car had broken down so I'd offered to give him a ride. He needed to be there around 6AM, a tad bit after I'd normally just have fallen asleep but I figured I'd push through to help out my sibling. Around 4 or so, I started to feel my normal fatigue and was worried I might pass out and not wake up for my alarm so I decided that I would go out to the pool to wake myself up. It was a clear night and the stars shined so brightly. It seemed absolutely quiet as I lay on my back in the pool, floating, staring at the beautiful night sky. I recall wondering how many people were doing the same thing as I was in that moment across our expanse of our world. It felt special to me, as though I was the only person to be experiencing that moment as I was. I think about that memory quite often.
1AM - scrolling through your socials until your fingers go numb. 2AM - hyper music, cool beats, dancing. vibing until your ears ring. 3AM - dark and funny rituals, silly potions, cringe videos. laughing until your lungs hurt. 4AM - peace, quiet, calm. birds have started singing. reading until your eyes are dry. 5AM - its time to sleep now, you had fun tonight. time to rest, youve done enough. 6AM - good morning.
*To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. *
8 months ago my one and only brother had an serious accident. The doctors were confirmed that there is no way that he can survive. My family was in great misery. We all were praying so hard for him. And the miracle happened. He was in the hospital for 5 months 20 days. My parents were giving all it takes to save their son. We got him back safe and fully recovered. It's 12:50 am right now and sitting next to my brother. He is in fever and I am pampering him right now and listening to this calm beautiful music. I don't know why I just cried thinking that at that time when he was in the hospital I prayed to God so hard for this moment today and now I have it. Life has taught me to appreciate each moment from that accident. I am very thankful to God for this moment and for my brother and my family. After reading all of yours comments I thought to share this story. To whoever reading this God bless you.
I'm so glad that he is better, I can *never* imagine losing those I love, and seeing others suffer from his misery breaks my heart... hopefully we all can appreciate even the smallest moments of our lives with those we cherish so much before they go. Have a nice day
Reading everyone's comments, i just realized how similar all of us are. How similar we all feel and think, it's like we all are experiencing the same thing. During highschool, even though i had to go to class in the morning, i would always stay up all night, and think about the little things in life. I would look at the moon and admire how peaceful it is, i would look at the stars and think about where they are in the space, i would stay up all night, just to watch the sky turn blue. Just to hear the birds sing, to feel the cold morning breeze. I would admire everything in the world, while lying in my tiny little bed, away from everyone else. I felt so happy during those times, it really felt like i needed to be alone after dealing with people at school. It was so drainig that all i longed for during the day, was to finally get home, lie in bed, play some music, and just chill. To all of you who are struggling with school, who find it draining to talk to people or to be around them, it's okay. Highschool will also end. Remmeber to keep doing the things that make you feel happy or at ease. Remmeber to find something that will make you feel calm. It can be the moon, the stars, the blue sky in the early morning, the birds singing, or just the cold morning breeze. Remember to love yourself, you are so much cooler than you think, so much better than you think. I hope you are happy, i hope you are healthy, and if you aren't, there is no need to worry. Things WILL get better. Trust me. If you read untill here, thank you. Have a peacefull night, and atay safe. thanks for this amazing playlist.
The best part about being awake this early is that you feel like it’s only you in the world. The silence is beautiful. The stillness is beautiful. I think more people need to witness this level of peace
I had a moment in my life, around 16's, when I used to sleep really early after I got from school/work, so I could wake up late at night and silently leave home at 2-3am and walk around town. There were some gas stations and vendors open the whole night, so I would just go to some store, buy a soda and some snacks, stay a while and walk again. I lived uphill and the way down was totally dark, a trail across the woods. Somehow I enjoyed walking the dark path, felt afraid but wanted to face it everytime. I was totally conscious doing so, but couldn't identify the source of fear. As time passed, I questioned myself if I was really afraid, and concluded I never was. Perhaps it was an excitement found when confronting the unknown in total solitude. I used to return home by the sunrise, so I could make coffee and leave real early for school. I had problems at home and questioned my existence since young. During my walks I met interesting people and figured out many things that I carry until this day. Anyways, congratulations on your music. As you can see it got me right there. You are very talented, keep doing it.
When I used to travel a lot across the ocean, when I'd get back home, the first day my sleep schedule would be messed up hard. So I'd get outside and walk the streets as the city slowly woke up around me.
Your story is familiar one to me. My parents split when I was 5 yrs. I began sneak out at night for as long as I can remember ... early from 4 am things felt still enough for me to go outside and go everywhere. I lived in Gainesville near downtown .. mid 1960s thru the early 70s .... I would roam the town .... it definitely was the most exhilarating thing to experiment with. Cheers ....
My husband drives OTR and one of his coworkers will only drive at night unless he HAS TO drive during the day. If you bought it, a truck brought it. Thanks for what you do 😊
Just from this very short comment, I have a feeling you're insightful and smart. That's a good gift from God too... you can open up the world for yourself and others, through sharing what you see. I think you should keep doing it 👍
Make the most out of it, it goes by so much quicker than you think. Life can change in an instant, enjoy the time you have while you have it, take those risks and live your life while you can
I'm convinced 4am is the time of day most people are asleep. Most people go to bed before 4 and wake up after 4. It's the most calming and quiet hour of the night.
Personally, this may sound a little off putting to you (sorry in advance), but for me midnight (specifically 1 - well, 4AM) is when I’m most energetic and when I’m not nearly as pervaded and immobilized by overthinking and anxiety :/ “fun” fact it’s partly a reason as to why my name is what it is, with the other being well.. Sif is far too underrated for how amazing he really is. (If ya get it ya get it)
So done my fair share of night drives cross country. I'll tell you... 1-3 am are the most desolate. Trucks lay in around midnight. Families lay in around 9 or 10. It's just you, your car, the road, and the sky above. Especially already feeling lonely and depressed, you really get the feeling nobody is out there for you. You leave the places you call home to get told it's not home anymore. Where do you belong? Driving through Montana late at night was one of the most soul taking experience I have had. Nobody out there. Just nobody.
Yeah, except if you're still trying to sleep, in that case is kinda frustrating laying on the bed for hours tryna get some sleep and your conscious just gets more and more active
It’s the exact reason why I am up at this time. 4am right now. My kids and wife are upstairs in bed so I’m downstairs listening to music and about to go drive for an hour and come back home and go to bed. I’ve been doing it for a year and a half. Battling depression.
@@PickledPork420 same man. It will get better. Remember they love and value you. Your feelings matter. If you don't already, open up to those that care and allow yourself to receive support. The most important is to have hope. When I lost hope it got so bad. It's difficult but it won't always be like that. Stay strong
Being awake at 4AM is a very sacred time, Since going to college and getting a girlfriend I never really stay up this late, but tonight was different. My head just didn't seem to calm down so here I am with the same kind of people, up at 4 feeling that peace in the loneliness. I hope whoever is reading this is happy with where they are in life and if you aren't, I hope you strive to make yourself better day by day. I love you
I feel this! I’m here because I’m staying away from my partner for a night (not because anything’s wrong, just because I’m visiting my parents). Haven’t been here in a while… it’s quite an experience 🌌
As a person who goes out on late night drives for relaxation due to the calmness that empty roads give during that time of the night, this playlist best describes this feeling when taking these drives. Its not that I'm depressed, sad or have stress on my mind. The night drives are mostly a form of meditation or "peace moment" for me and even gives me a chance to self reflect about things, mostly positive or curious thoughts. It's amplified more so if you take these trips with friend(s) and/or family member(s) who have that same self reflective mindset.
i remember going on non-stop road trips where we wouldn’t sleep at hotels, and we started often around sunset or nighttime. i often just stayed awake for the entire night before we got there the next day, and it felt lonely and desolate. i also remember everything about the gas stops we took, right down to the smell of the gas and the vibe of the store. those gas stations were often empty, too, so it truly felt like i was the last one on earth left.
This playlist reminds me of when me and my grandma would sleep on the couch together. I use to get very bad panic attacks at night when I was a kid and my parents would get angry with me if I woke them up. Me and my family lived with my grandparents and my grandma slept in the living room most nights. I would usually leave my shared room with my sister and go see my grandma. She usually is awake all night watching tv because it also helps her calm down. I sit next to her and we both always ate a piece of cheese before me explaining what my panic attack was about. She would ask if I wanted to watch anything special and I usually said the show where they build treehouses. We would lay down and watch TV while we both fall asleep. usually those mornings Me and my grandma would wake up early and go get breakfast from McDonald's if I had school she would take me( or take me to the beach). I miss my grandma. Shes still alive but she lives far away now. I moved to Kansas while she stayed in the same house on the same couch. I still get very bad panic attacks at night and I always hold anything that deals with my grandma. I want to be home with her. I want to watch the treehouse makers and tell my grandma we should make one. I want to be home. This place isn't home.
Home could also be when you think of your grandma, you always carry those awesome memories around with you. Even if she's far away. Keep writing. I enjoyed reading what you wrote.
I wish I still had my grandma. We did everything together, she was my Best friend. Cherish every moment you have with her because one day God is going to take her and he doesn't care about what you feel about it. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and spend the last few moments with her as she passed, one day I hope to see her where we will walk the clouds of heaven.
I grew up in a neighborhood in rural Pennsylvania. This playlist brings me back to my childhood. My friends and I would sneak out and wonder the town deep into the morning hours without a worry in the world. The buildings and streets felt so lifeless but were alive with the awe of youth. At that time we had no idea where our lives would take us. Life was calm and still. 13 years later I am 25 years old and live in a city. I have loved, lost, laughed, cried, hated, and forgave many times since then. Most of my childhood friends have moved on, some died, and a few I still talk to. It all seems like a distant memory from another life. And I know all my friends that explored the streets with me on those nights have done the same wherever they may be. I am content as I lay here.
I also did the same in central PA. I miss those times during the summer where my friends and I would go all around the woods and into abandoned buildings to just explore and do whatever. Times were easier back then
4 am finds me awake from Monday to Friday because as a single Dad I have to wake up extra early to get my son and myself ready for the day. We have our early morning drive playlist as well as our afternoon home bound list. Some people ask me how do I manage being someones everything in this world sigh its an awsome task. To all the single moms and dads keep strong.
we have a habit of finding fault and whining about every bad thing that we don't like or that we would like to give up just to make it easier for us. enjoy these moments while you are together and while you have the energy and until he has gone on his way without you. be proud and love you both. bright ideas and lots of good emotions for you
It's 4:48 right now, honestly, this sounds about right. 4 am is when you feel like you're the only one awake in the world. Wether that's a good thing or a bad thing you don't know, but it's peaceful in some way.
I didn't realize how much I missed the feeling of being awake, intentionally, without obligations or commitments at 4AM. Walking on train tracks or going for a drive. The air's cool and misty, the roads are quiet and empty, everything seems at peace for once. Way to capture that in a single playlist. I'm impressed.
That feeling when you see the sun rise after staying up all night, its addicting. Its like the best feeling ever youre happy and you just feel perfect.
I've never been one to comment on videos, but reading the comments gave me inspiration. As a young teenager, I remember spending many nights wide awake at 3AM laying on my friend's trampoline wondering how many people were staring up at the sky the same way I was at that very moment. I was in a small rural midwestern town and would take walks around down back roads while the sun just began to light up the sky. During the day, some of the worst times of my life happened, but at night, after the sun had been down for hours and in a few more the sun would be rising, there was such a sense of calmness and peace. People always talk about how high school are the best days of your life. I never understood that at the time. I still don't believe it was the best time of my life, but I would give anything to be thirteen again staring up at the midnight sky, listening to music without a care in the world.
This playlist reminds me of when I used to run away from home at night, because my father was always drunk and he could rant and shout all night. I would go to a fallen tree in the middle of an empty cornfield, spread a blanket on its trunk and lie down facing up the open sky, watch the stars until I fall asleep. This experience taught me to be unafraid of the dark, of being alone, and being far away from home.
Once a week, I wake up at 4AM and sneak outside with a grabber and plastic bag n start picking up trash from the local playground. Usually I do this around the start of the week, because on the weekend youth n other people hang out at night on the playground leaving behind trash like broken beer bottles, sharp bits of random plastic, used small plastic bags with drug remains, very rarely a used needle. Then I broaden the range to around the block where I know kids play outside bare feet. Somewhere around 5:30 I'd have a bag full and dump it in the local communal underground trash container before it's picked up by the trash collector. I'm gone before the first morning people go to work in my neighborehood. Clean streets is that easy. One person with a grabber n a plastic bag. They'll never know who and they don't need to.
One of my cousins, when a little kid, picked up a needle he found, put it in his pocket and gave himself a jab. That was quite the scare and could've easily been a disaster, but he was fine afterwards. You're awesome. Dont let anyone make you think otherwise.
2 years ago i had just joined brazillian army, we had to be ready at 5am for morning obligations so most of us were generally awaken at 4am. But sometimes, 3:30am was the best time to wake up because we could see, at least for 5-10 minutes, the sun rising up in the sky and it was one of the most beautiful views i have ever seen in my life, specially in rainy seasons. When i did my 1 year minimun required time of active service, i still find myself awaken at 4am staring at the sunrise before going to college. I can't explain the feelings, but sadnees is definetely not one of them.
Since everyone is sharing their beautiful 4am stories, I might as well share mine: It was somewhere around 4am and when my friends called me and asked if I could sneak out the house and hang out. I thought I might as well try so I somehow successfully snuck out and met with them. One person in the group was my crush, he was literally shining under the silver light the moon was producing. After some few hours the rest left but my crush stayed behind with me and we hung out. He suggested we went to the beach and watch the sunrise together. I was overjoyed and my heart felt as if it was going to jump out of my chest. We walked along the beach for literal hours before we same the hint of light, me and him both looked at each other and smile. We sat down and I dug my hand under the sand. The wind was gentle and the atmosphere was as perfect as it could be. I felt so free as the wind hit my face gently. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. I seriously never felt so alive. We’ve been together for 5 years now and still counting🫶
There have been countless nights where i have stayed up all night and left my room to go watch the sunrise. I can't recall any one specific moment, but the feeling of doing this is so incredibly special, it makes me feel like i'm the only person around for miles: quietly somber, but content. It's incredibly draining but I've never had any regrets
You all are my people. Its nice to see people here who don't jump straight to depression and addictions as the only reason people willingly stay up so late. Sometimes that is just how your body works though, you're naturally more awake and motivated in the dead of night than you ever can be during the day and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Well for me i think it does come from depression and addiction 😅 but I also just like the night a lot. There's less pressure at night. You're usually in a quiet, lonely situation that you can control. During the day all kinds of stressful and out of control things can happen. A lot of good things can happen too. Daytime is really important for physical/mental health. But its still nice to just rest quietly at night.
This reminded me of some very lost memories. I always used to be an odd kid. I was more mentally mature then other kids and was very self reflective for a young child. My upbringing was pretty normal nothing to bad. But for some reason I always would get this feeling of adrenaline and would love the feel of the cold early mornings on my skin in the summer. Fast forward in life and it is middle school. I have no real friends, a rather smart kid but didn't do well in school, and overall found no real purpose in life. This is when I started going to my father's baseball games in a league made up with middle aged fathers. I ended up meeting a group of friends and we would spend hours talking before the games and after when our parents drinked beers and chatted until four in the morning. The group consisted of me, another guy friend, and two sisters. Over the course of two summers we all became inseparable. That was until the other guy in our group had his parents divorce and he moved away. It was just me and the two sisters left. Until their father died in a DUI accident. He was killed by a drinking semi truck driver. They ended up moving away to their mentally unstable mother's a great distance away. Just three years ago I was looking through my memories and realized that the older sister was the closest thing to true love I have ever felt. I went to go reconnect with her to find and obituary saying she had ended her life with pills. The younger sister at some point ended up in jail. I live about a two hour walk to and from the old baseball field. So whenever I felt uneasy at night I would pick some flowers put some music in my ears and walk to the field. I would put the flowers on an old bench and sit there until I saw the sun. I never really felt sad. Never cried. Never felt anything really. It was just a calming stillness of brisk summer air and familiarity of the bench. I also realized that a single bench probably saved me from a similar fate of the sister's. It was because I found that you don't need a purpose in life to enjoy it. I don't need to be the one to benefit from connections of people. It turns out I want to be the person that would cause someone to walk in a dark early summer morning and enjoy a rising sun. This video reminded me of that bench. And a lost smile that hasn't been forgotten.
I'm awake everyday at 4am. Weekday and weekend. I think I prefer waking that early. . . while the world is still sleeping. Quiet. Peaceful. Can hear Mother Earth.
About 2 to 3 years ago, during the summer I would fall asleep at 6am and wake up at 2pm everyday. When I was awake I would do nothing but play video games and listen to music. One morning I had made a bowl of cereal at around 6am and just sat on my bed staring out the window. I felt so at peace with myself and the world around me. I think about that moment a lot, sometimes I crave to feel that experience again but I have learned that it can only really come to you organically.
About a year ago, I snuck out of the house to go on a walk at night. To be honest, it was kind of spiritual for me. I went to the park and it was completely empty. I could see the stars in the sky and the only lighting being the street lamps along the sidewalk. At first I was frightened and scared that I’d get hurt because that’s all I’ve ever heard about what things are like outside at night. But I calmed down once I laid in the grass and listened to everything around me. Pure silence. My brain not making me feel horrible about everything, nobody talking down to me… just silence. And that was truly the best feeling I have ever felt. Since then, I’ve been sneaking out when life has been hard for me. That’s quite often, of course, but it does seem to really help me calm myself down. Life has been hard lately but it’s been hard trying to find time to sneak out. Hopefully I can go back soon, but this playlist reminds me of it. It’s very calming.
it's so soothing to even read this. i feel good that you have found your happy place. even if it's outside of your so called home. take warm wishes stranger
I know exactly what you mean, about a 7 minute walk from my house is a field beside a river. Whenever I need some time to truly be alone I go there in the dark of the night. My thoughts accompanied by the sound of the flowing river.
I do this too, but I find it is even more soothing for me when it is raining. My area doesn't have rain often and that little benefit of my favorite weather on top of being completely alone in nature is just perfect.
I wish I could a moment when no one is screaming or blaming something on you just to stare up at the stars alone just enjoy the calm atmosphere...sound like heaven ^^ maybe when I get older?
I go on 3 am walks every few weeks. They're so peaceful, as no cars are around and its so quiet, just me and the world. I'd go to a local park and just lie on the hillside watching the lights of the city. One time I saw a coyote or something in the grass which was kind of spooky, but it went away after a brief staring contest. Once I accadentally fell alseep on the hillside and woke up at around 6 when the sun was rising. I was like "oh shoot" and rushed back home before my parents found out I had left. Fun times
this comment section feels like a safe place. Where we all are laying Inside a camp like thing under starry night and listening to the same music and one by one everyone tells about their experiences and each one of us gets to hear it. It's so lovely, This comment box and this music is my favourite thing. Hugs for y'all ❤️
Im a mental health professional/ therapist these days. I had insomnia and anxious nights throughout my younger years. This playlist and pictures symbolize to me so much of what it feels like to feel like that again. Im thankful that I have gotten to a better place mentally and I hope everyone else watching this is doing ok.
It’s currently 3:39am and I decided to go out for a walk and made it pretty far. I made it to a bus stop with this peculiar light that flickers on and off right above me. I feel so alone but at peace, yesterday I woke up around same time and went for a hike to a mountain and stared off a cliff as I stood at the edge. There’s something about feeling very close to your demise. I look up at the stars and wonder just how many other people are walking around just as I am right now and what goes through their heads. My names Jorge by the way but people call me George. I’m 21 years old and I wish to someday make more of myself by moving into the mountains out of California with my dog and becoming a firefighter.
I love staying up past 4. No phones ringing, no one asking questions, no obligations. Just you and the night. Its like at that moment you know who you are.
at 4am, it feels like the only time being alone with your own thoughts isn't terrifying but so relaxing. no one is there to see you, hear you, or do anything to you. it's pure solitude and reflection. whenever it's late at night and not so cold, i like to sit on the porch and stare down at the street, breathe for once and just think. when the world is asleep, it is the best time to be awake.
I really, really hope you guys never stop sharing these stories. I’m going through it pretty bad right now but this feels like such a safe haven. You all are awesome
Hi Bradyn. Im not sure what your going through,i dont know you,your story or anything about you. Im a stranger who you will most likely never meet. But i want you to know something Bradyn: I want you to know that whatever it is or however hopeless it may seem,that you have a choice. You have a choice to be kinder A choice to be better A choice to overcome A choice to go the extra mile A choice to change You have a choice to live. Not because life is easy,but because it isnt. Because life is a gift and a great challenge. Never forget that in your darkest dark there is a way out. I know because, just like you can, i fought to it and found it.
I struggle alot of the month and find myself awake at 4am wondering if anyone else is doing the same. I listen to my family sleep and try to be as quiet as I can. Up just staring into the fire some nights..just...thinking...u are not alone. I guess if life didn't have struggles we wouldn't know what true joy is..
I was homeless when I was younger. New York City is different when you're up at the witching hour. This music gives me the feeling of when I would explore to keep myself up at night. I was lost but the night and stars always guided me the right way and this album truly expresses those moments. It was a tough time in my life but those moments helped me grow both spiritually and mentally. I currently work overnights as security guard and I listen to this at 4am. By the time the album is finished. I open up the doors and if it's Summer (currently it's 7/7/22), I get to see the sunrise and the beauty it brings with it.
@@richullingfivefivefive1745 There was a time I did want to write but my family shunned the idea of doing anything that is too risky. I regret letting them mold me but I'll look into writing my feelings like I did above and see how it works out. Thanks for the advice
It’s honestly so nice to see people come together and relate in the comments. You might feel alone with whatever you’re going through but hearing and seeing other people talk about how they have had the same experiences offers some sort of solace. We might all feel like you’re alone, but when we all feel the same we’re never really truly alone. I hope we can all be better as time passes.
Reading all these stories makes me feel a connection I rarely feel. This music brings me to a place of serenity, peace, and balance. The feeling of being awake at 4am, existance, creation, life, makes me feel like there is more. I love these hours. Nobody is awake and expects anything from you. You have a moment to dream, where the world slows. I think about the future. Staring at the stars, the moon, the planets, we all know there is more out there for us. All of that, and to think, what am I doing with my life? Why don't I take advantage of this? The whole world should be like 4am. The connection that this music invokes is a great wonder to me. Dreamy. Inspiring. Balanced.
“Nobody is awake and expects anything from you” - I felt this! I have a less night-owly schedule now, but I remember really liking this feeling back in the day… especially on night runs. No strangers expecting me to act “normal” on those late nights… just me and the stars 🌌
@@trendingone42 depends what place you live in, around my area, barely anyone is awake. Plus biking at 4am is such a nice thing, you have so much area to urself
When I was thirteen, I had horrible bouts of insomnia. One November, during a full moon, I took a walk around 4 a.m. It was clear, cold and achingly beautiful walking through the small forested area behind the house. I walked for hours. No light to guide me other than moonlight. I have rarely felt so at peace, yet so alive at the same time. That was forty-six years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. This music reminds me of that magical walk.
Lots of good comments here. As another introvert, I have always loved those off-hours times when no one else is around. I used to live in Minneapolis, and very early winter mornings were a special time. I used to play video games until very late, and then before going to bed spend time looking out my living room window that had a view of an urban residential alley way. Snow falling under the light of an orange sodium gas street light against an overcast sky, filling up the road with more fresh snow. Absolute quiet and peace. I miss those times.
It feels comforting to know how many people enjoy the feeling of total peace and calmness of the night. I used to work as a chef and night was the only time I felt safe. Not calm, not happy - safe. I used to work in places where you'd get phone calls on your day off, getting shit from your supervisors for the littlest things. The same supervisors would tell you that your paycheck will be late two, three weeks because "business is hard" and then act like nothing happened. I was spending my days off planning my shifts, just to get everything done on time and not fuck up another thing. Work was the only thing on my mind. So yeah, sitting at 2-3 AM on the balcony, beer in one hand, a cigarette in another, just looking at the skyline, listening to the trees humming on the wind. That was my haven. Now I have a steady office job and much more confidence to not get shitted on. And I feel much better on day to day basis. But there was something magical about experiencing the night at those times. And I miss this feeling a lot. Of course, nothing stops me from enjoying the night today. But it just doesnt feel the same. I don't miss the times where the night was the only time I did not feel scared. But I do miss the relief it gave me.
This reminds me of being at a sleepover, while you randomly wake up, while all of your friends are still asleep around you. The moonlight from the window casts a beautiful glow across their faces, and you can’t help but smile; having the most wonderful friends ever. You get up and get a glass of water in the kitchen. The air is still and your mind is half asleep. This is when I feel most at peace, In the dead of night.
I just wanted to say something to the hero behind this channel. Many of your subscribers here that are listening to your wonderful selection of music, are mostly misunderstood, in pain or just seeking some solitude and someone, something to understand them. As you know, music is the best companion to make you feel sane when no one understands what you are going through. So my friend, thanks.
Sometimes, only God understands and cares, but that's alright, because He will give us love like none found in the world. God is so amazing, He has gifts and plans for each and every one of us. Unfortunately, broad is the road to destruction, as many will never listen to Him, and choose their own ways of limited knowledge instead of leaning on Him and His infinite wisdom. The Lord has great plans for those that heed the call.
What you're saying is very true and very beautiful. Yet i would also like to add that soon, this comment will have 420 likes and thats funny; have a nice day/night
Beside my past and present habits, staying up most of the night still makes me feel different and a bit lonely, and nothing beats your parent or friend waking up and deciding to keep you company. For a bit, it's like being a kid again and showing them your strange world out of time and space, where you are yourself and there's only you and that person. Really a special moment to live out
Currently in college, I just always love staying up late and lying in bed looking up into the darkness every night just thinking about everything. It’s just so peaceful and relaxing
a couple nights ago i was awake at 4am and decided to take a little walk through my snowy neighborhood. it was an unmatchable calming experience. i really can’t explain how extraordinary it was. thank you for this
I did this recently, and it was so magical. I walked in the street looking up at the sky. Those are the moments that will be remembered for a life time
Please, do it again, but play this playlist and just walk, and walk... Until you meet the first rays of the sunrise, then get back home and appreciate the gift of freedom you've been given. We can literally go everywhere and anywhere at any given time. How wonderful is that!
@@Milena-ix5mq yeah bro we’re not tryna die or get get frostbite amputations here. Stop trying to be deep and go touch some grass under the snow. Go hug a tree. Give up on your dreams and aspirations because you’re never getting them.
Woke up an early summer morning last year, and i had to drive home from my girlfriend, who lives 150KM away from me. It was around 4AM in the morning, and I drove on the highway as the only person for quite some time. I did probably only see 3-4 cars on the whole way home. I have a hard time describing the feeling it gave me, listening to ambient music like this while driving that morning. Its just something that i won't forget. Such an inner peace. I really felt like i was the last person in this world. That feeling is very fascinating, because it feels really good in some ways, but can be truly scary in other ways.
Going for a walk or run at 4am with this playlist is truly something special. It melts away worry, doubt, and stress for the day to come. It is part of my daily routine now
This reminds me of a time that I somehow found a forever friend. I usually see myself as someone who only helps people and never stays there forever but one day that all changed. I met this girl who was awful and she made me really sad but I wanted to fix her so badly so I tried and tried and tried until I found a way. Tell her what I was doing, she went through with it and found out how nice it is to be nice and to be kind towards others. I told her that I had done my work and had to leave I told her that she did a good job, she didn’t want to leave me though so she tells me that she’s scared of losing someone who is as kind as kindness itself; that sentence made me burst out into tears. We hugged, she is still my friend to this day she always makes me happy. Her funeral was the only thing that made me cry.
I remember one of the first times I got high was with my best friend in his backyard at 2am, we decided to smoke in the hottub and look up at the stars together. Something about watching the stars with him made me feel whole, like he understood the sadness I felt. We just gazed at the stars until the sun came up. He's passed away now, and I often think about that time when we were just dumb kids trying to be happy.
All the best to You, fella. Be strong 💪 Almost three months ago I've lost my best friend as well (13th Sep). Suddenly. He would be 33yo on 11th Nov. I consider myself as an introvert in most part. Didn't really ever had the need to be sorounded by dozens of "friends", because time & life itself have showed me with every single year, that quality is more important than quantity. We knew each other for about 20 years. Once when we got high, He admitted that He kissed my girlfriend, when we were about 15-17yo. But that didn't stopped me from cleaning His house after a party, when everybody bailed and I was the last one left at around 4am. His parents were coming back on the same day afternoon and I knew, seeing Him completely wasted, that He won't be able to clean up later all of that mess. Countless times when He thanked me for that. I think that I'm still in a phase of some kind of denial, just hard to accept it. Miss You, Buddy 💔
Really hope your doing good so many stories lost to suicide like this and ppl with amazing experinces idk what I would’ve done back then without my friend if he passed too many good things we lose
I'm glad to have found yall here. I remember during middle school and high school I would stay awake around this peaceful hour. I used to read a lot of books back then and would often read them when everyone is asleep, they couldn't bother me from doing what I loved most. But around 4am I would often stop and just listen to the silence around me. Yes, at times my mind would wonder to the dark moments of my life up to that point and it would cause me to cry. But looking back I needed those moments to truly feel. I remember once in 7th grade I was going through this same moment and stopped when I started to see the sun rays coming through my bedroom window. My parents were sleeping in the other room and I was alone in my mine. Just having this distinct feeling when listening to these tunes felt so heavy when watching that sun come up. I recall deciding to go on a walk that same morning. I heard my mom wake up and go off to work, I then snuck out. For once I didn't have my headphones on, just simply heard the noise of the world waking up around me with the feeling of the sun warming up my face and neck. When I got back home my dad was already up and for some reason, he didn't question why I was out so early. I went to my room and slept for a few hours. It's great to feel this feeling again, but now its on more happier, calm terms in life. At times I feel this is the same feeling I would get when I would one day lay on a sheet of snow when looking at the bare trees on a cloudy day. My feet would be cold but I know my boots will keep them warm. My ears will be warming up as my coat is now covering them while I lay back. The tip of my nose will be cold as ice when I touch it at the same time that I can feel my neck being secured by the piled up snow lifting my head up. To see each breath I take come out as fog it'll blend so well with my sight of seeing the bare trees in that snowed land. This music have helped me create this distinct memory that I know I am yet to live. thank you
This reminds me of being up late at night with my first love. At a party with all of our friends, we slipped away into the front yard to get some air. We just laid right on the concrete and looked up at the stars for some time. There is something about feeling so small by looking up at the expansive universe while at the same time feeling so significant and loved by the person right next to you. Being present in that moment is one of the greatest memories of my life to this point. The feeling of belonging in such an expansive and improbable existence is a very reassuring feeling. No matter what is out there, we are here, and that in itself is significant. We didn't talk much while laying there, but we didn't need to. We have been together five years now. I am nearing the end of college while doing long distance right now, I have every intention on loving her for the rest of my life.
I'm a really big late night driver. I love just getting in my car and taking off on some random highway or interstate, radio blasting and the windows down. It just feels, calming? Being alone out on the road, having the trees fly past me, it feels like I've found a sort of freedom, like a bird that's taken first flight. Although this playlist isn't the sort of music I play during these drives, it does perfectly match the feelings I get
It’s crazy to think that so many people on earth feel like they’re the only people on earth at 4 AM but are all awake at the same time basking in the peaceful loneliness
It's Christmas Eve, or it was because as the right now it's almost six in the morning. It's been a long time since I've been awake this late the last time. It's been... A very packed day, in it's own way. Thank you for the music and thank y'all for such kind comments to read, as I finally feel a calm settle inside me I've missed from another life. I'm with you there under the stars, and I love you unconditionally
I’m a 14 year old boy who is barely passing school. I use to blame the world and my teachers, but now I realize its all me. I get in trouble a lot, and don’t fit in most places because I’m awkward, and nobody likes me that much. I will stay up until 4am staring outside my second story window at the moon, and at the stars. It’s the only thing that keeps me calm. The only thing I can cry in peace to. The only thing that keeps me…. Me. My dog died last week, and I’ve been very depressed. Sometimes I just wanna end it all, but then I remember that even though life is tough, there’s a path for you. Things WILL get better. I may be going through a hard time now, but it will get better. I want you to know how special you are. How beautiful, talented, and amazing you are. You are better than you think, you are funnier than you think. There are people that love you in this world, and the fact that you had a 1/47trillion percent chance to be born makes you special. If your reading this up to this point, I bless you with all my heart. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay alive. You matter. No matter what anybody tells you. You. Matter.
I have issues with sleep, and im a horrible introvert. I express myself through music a lot and spent most of my time alone because of these 2 things and i just wanted to say thank you for making a playlist that reminded me im not alone. Weird as it may sound. Its good to know there are people out there who think of us and make playlists with us in thought. Thank you.
Music has helped me through some really hard times. I feel as if I have a special connection to it, more special than most people do. It's people like you I look out for, so I admire the fact you took the bravery to leave this comment here! Have a great night/day :)
I know this is mainly meant for when you can't sleep or just to listen to late at night but this is really helping me study. I swear, I've been procrastinating watching TH-cam videos for the past 2 hours but now that I clicked on this video, it calms me down and really encourages me to get my stuff done. Thank you for this 🙏
The middle of the night is always great. A time were nothing matter and anything that does matter can be delt with in the morning. Its very freeing of anxiety, stress, and people. It is my favorite time of day.
My brother and I used to stay up all the way till 6 am playing games (gta, max payne, hitman) I never got to play much since I was young, but I enjoyed watching him play, the sounds of our silent house and neighborhood with only our pc's noise were the most amazing inexplicable feeling to me as a kid. Sadly life happens to people, and we grew apart, he's a happy married man with a beautiful daughter! And I'm so happy for him. And now I'm listening to this, about to cry because I miss those simpler times.
I love seeing so many people share their stories. Hearing how others were impacted by them then sharing theirs. This is what being human is about. The feeling of peace when the rest of the world should be asleep but the folks like us that are still up, soak in it. The smell of the air and the birds chirping as the sun slowly starts to creep in. I love that so many of us can share this feeling. Be connected in some way that doesn’t have to be personal. Just the pure feeling of peace at 4am. May you all know peace like that everyday. When it’s not 4am. But when you wake up or shower or eat or just when you’re being still. Sending love.
I can never find much to say in comments, but..I’m glad spaces like this exist, somewhere. It almost feels like a miracle sometimes, this day and age. I feel at peace here, listening to this music. Even now, I’m sat outside at 2:45 AM in 40° weather, just..listening. Reading people’s stories. Feeling the cold wind on my face. It’s..freeing. I’ve always been a recluse. Felt like an outcast. Depression hits people like that hard sometimes. But..I consider myself lucky nowadays. In this silly little thing called life, I’m finally beginning to find myself, little by little. I’m finding peace and happiness in my own way, little by little. For anybody else out there reading this, who feels like they’re wandering aimlessly..I hope you can find your way. Take it one step at a time, if you need. Its not too late; It’s never too late.
Me too. I feel the same way. 40 degrees is pretty cold. I'm from Southern CA so maybe I'm biased. Was just in the PNW last week and it got down to 20 overnight... now that was cold.
You're not alone 💯 Easy times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. Hard times make strong men. We're in the stage were most guys are tired of the bullshit and just want peace with themselves.
This music takes me back to a time when nothing mattered. I used to stay up till the crack of dawn with friends across the world playing video games thinking the good times would never end. That was over 6 years ago and now in just a month I will be leaving for college. I now have the burden of worrying about my future, my finances, and my relationships. I wish I could go back to one of those winter nights at 4am playing video games without a care in the world. All I have to say is to enjoy the simple times while you have them because nothing gets easier in life.
It's a bit saddening that the general human spirit it to learn, to explore, to yearn for information of everything that exists. When we grow older, we do lose that child-like mindset of being perfectly content with just playing video games. But in every person's life, there will come a point where we realize there's more to life than just the small things, like video games. Sure, those times were the easiest, not knowing anything but fun and games, but... Is that all you really want to know?
Boy if this ain't the realest story. I just told my own late-night story in a new comment and I pretty much had the same feeling there, it was the year I graduated high school and the world was full of possibilities and worries.
Honestly, modern society destroys who we once were. Life is definitely not easy and it does indeed get worse; but I find that people usually trap themselves in a cycle of misery. The system does not care about us and traps us into a loop and we become complacent and simply go along with it instead of standing up for ourselves. If you want to enjoy your life through your adulthood, start doing things that are meaningful for you and try your best to find other options to make income. Also look into minimalism. The best we can do is reduce our suffering as much as possible. Make time for hobbies or things you enjoyed as a kid and that you still do enjoy. Do not lose yourself in this corrupt system, for the system does not care for you; neither should you care for the system. Rebel against it in whatever way you can.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. Lots of young people feel this way, but in a way it's not about you finding your way in this material and superficial world. The real journey is about finding yourself and understanding that there us purpose in your existence, you may not think it's significant, but it is. The molecules within your body was made from the stars (fusion process), and eventually your energy will return there...... Just remember a few simple things (that helped me) 1. Live simply and within your means 2. Avoid materialism and following the crowd 3. Everything in the material world is designed for one thing, to distract you from your true self 4. Seek nature, eat healthy, exercise, and seek people (or animals) of good character 5. Helping others gives far greater inner reward and peace that a high powered career 6. The greatest things you have if value are your health, time, and good family or friends (the rest actually doesn't matter that much at the end) 7. Learn a practical hobby, be self sufficient as much as you can, cook for yourself 8 Don't chase women, focus on improving yourself, and avoid marriage in the West 9. Be kind and tolerant to others, but don't let them step over you 10. The best things in life ARE free, learn to enjoy them. 11. Avoid mainstream media, newspapers, politicians, lawyers and criminals, learn to think for yourself, don't assume what you others say is the truth... There are always at least two sides to a story Don't fear the future, it doesn't exist. Live in the moment and appreciate now. Plan for the future, but do not worry if it does not work out for you. The universe intended for you to be where you are, and tje future is unwritten. All the best and cherish the good memories of life, life has ups and downs, but learn to appreciate what is good in your life and be content with what you have (but strive for more)
I travel to Texas every summer because my dad lives there, meanwhile my mom lives in AZ. This reminds me of the days i travel to and from Texas, i wake up very early and feel a tired feeling while seeing the dark sky with the city lights. That feeling is somehow nice to me, i now absolutely love the mornings in the dark, aswell as nights.
Truly needed this because life has been overwhelming. I hope all of the people feeling like this will be able to rest and feel calmness within their surroundings and themselves.
Just after COVID lockdowns hit I had a lotta time off work alone, so I started riding around Tokyo on my bicycle in the middle of the night. Thanks to the pandemic, everywhere was completely deserted and still. I saw one of the most populated cities in the world in total peace. A truly surreal, beautiful and yet brief time in my life that I will never forget.
As an introvert, the night owl and a person who needs so much courage to do literally anything because of anxiety.. I rarely comment. But reading people's comments here gave the feeling of extraordinary connection that I can't feel often. I always wonder if there's anyone who thinks and do what I do. If there's someone who feels so much, so deeply but at the same time feels empty, broken and lonely, who needs somebody to hold their hand. It's 7am and I'm still awake, my day and my sleep schedule got unhealthy again these days. But I've always preferred the night time, the stars, the moon and that peaceful yet longing feeling. Like.. Nobody wants anything from you and you can just exist. Pretending that time doesn't. Only the blue early morning light breaking through the windows reminds of it. I used to think about the past so much, think about some people's shadows and crying. Or think about the future which is very stressful when you have no idea what to do. So I'm trying to stay in the present and just catching moments, I think. Being so sensitive is difficult, like a curse. But they say that we should think of it as a superpower. And I kinda like it. The world needs us, right? Listening to this music makes me miss something that I don't have. Dreamy. I feel like there's so much to give, so much to tell. Whenever I look at the night sky I wonder, where's this soul who does the same and looks for a soulmate? If you're reading this - hello and thank you! ✨
You know I've been exactly the same way at different times in my life. I'd stay up all night until the sky started to get light outside, then sleep all day. I was also really anxious about going out, seeing people... even anxious about leaving my room. But I always hated seeing the sky get light in the morning. It just felt like I had wasted an entire night of sleep and I was about to waste an entire day, getting bad quality sleep while the sun is up. For your sake I really hope you turn around your sleep schedule. No matter whatever I went through God was always there for me. Even in those darkest times when I had no one, he was there, forgiving my sins and taking care of me. ❤
@James Codz You wrote it beautifully. The cold embrace of the dawn.. Pretty romantic. I can relate to you. There's something in sharing moments with another understanding person. That's my biggest wish I think.
The nostalgia I feel listening to this playlist late at night. When I was a kid, after my parent's divorced, I lived with my dad for awhile. He had to get up super early for work. Every night I would leave him a note under his door before bed to remind him to wake me up at 4am to. I enjoyed having coffee during the early peaceful morning with him before he left. I enjoy getting sleep as much as I can, but I do like the rare occasions (such as this) where I'm up late at night, warm cup of coffee, all is quiet, and the world feels at peace.
This story made me very happy as a dad, I just want you to know that. You really loved him and I know he loved you. You were both blessings from God to each other during that time. Divorce is an incredibly painful thing to go through... you were a lifeboat for him. ❤
For some reason, this playlist makes me cry. This whole playlist reminds me of my late grandpa. He died right after my birthday in 2020, still remember my brother knocking on my door so well, it was around 4am as well. I remember it so well...we had just bought him back home from the hospital, the docs had told us that he doesn't have much time to live so it'd be better if we'd all stayed with him together. The cold chilly feeling of that December night when the ambulance had pulled up at 1am and they got him out and we all went inside together into our house. I remember standing next to his bed as he looked at me while i was trying so hard not to breakdown as my shaky hands reached up to his mouth to feed him my birthday cake. I remember him mumbling something, but i don't remember what he said. Ever since i was a kid, I've been the closest to that man. Literally, the only man i look up to. We used to play games i had created on my own where I'd make new rules every single time we played, he'd always let me win. I remember those days when both of us would sneak out of the house to go eat something without grandma knowing. Death doesn't scare me. The memories the dead leave me with scares me.
it’s kind of scary how much i can relate. my grandpa died too in 2020, barely a month before my birthday. i remember my brother knocking on my door at 5am, and then going over to my grandpas house in the night to say goodbye. i’m sure that even after 2/3 years it’s hard but one thing i know is that we’ll be okay
I'm 23 y.o. and it's exhausting because i thought i'd dead by now. no plans, no thoughts, just existence. i like to lie on the floor at night and listen to such playlists
Damn brother 20 years here pretty much same except it hit me about a year ago when I was like shit I’m still here and realized I have to start helping myself or imma just drown in silence I wish you the best of luck
I'll be 40 in 2 weeks, most of my adult life I have felt the same. I hope things get better. I'm just trying to focus on the beautiful people and things in life, thats what gets me through
Currently 3:10am.. Laying here while all these thoughts flood my mind. Times I contemplate my life being non existent as in not being a tiny spec in this world. This type of music brings me serenity and honestly I haven't had that in awhile
This brings me back when I was younger (like very young like 6yrs old) I would sneak out of my house in the morning to watch the sunrise and sunset. I remember the night after my grandmother passed the sky was beautiful it had a strong orange with a slight pink hint in it, I remember then crying and asking why she had to leave me and feeling a breeze as if it was her giving me a hug and apologizing. I still miss her and watch sunsets and sunrises to this day.
i love reading everyone's story about their pasts and 4am moments while listening to this playlist. it heartwarms me and makes me feel like im reading a calming novel. thanks and hope everyone is having a good day, year and life
Thank you for creating this playlist - it's clear that you put a lot of thought and care into selecting these songs that really do capture the essence of being awake at 4 AM. To those of you reading this, whether you're feeling lonely, anxious, or just unable to sleep, I hope this playlist provides some comfort and reassurance that you're not alone. Remember, tough times don't last, but tough people do. Keep pushing through, and know that you are stronger than you think.
It’s currently 5 am and I’m feeling more restless than usual. My girlfriend is fast asleep next to me and I lay awake here calmed by this beautiful scenery. I just recently got fired from my very first job that I’ve worked at for 3 years, and while that seems like a bad thing I feel a sense of freedom that I haven’t felt since I was an unemployed teenager with no responsibilities except for school. I’m not sure where life will take me now but I have a feeling everything is going to work out just fine. Bless you to all the beautiful people in this comment section, I hope peace follows you all wherever you may find yourself in this life. One love ❤
the last few months of my senior year of highschool were cut short by the pandemic in 2020. I went from sleeping at 12 and waking up at 7:30 to sleeping at 4:00 everyday. Those late night hours were some of the most peaceful times of my life. Now I'm back to grinding school/internships and I kinda miss that period of time when I didn't have responsibilities and could sleep whenever I wanted.
yeah, i can see that. However, the pandemic took a huge chunk of my time and i missed a lot of opportunities to network and build relationships. Those days were a blur as I would constantly wake up and not even know what day it was. After society began to open up in my area, it was kinda hard to adjust and try to gain back my lost time. However, I did kinda missed those days of peace knowing that next day would be the same as yesterday. It was like a very long lunch break that seemed like it would never end but life isn't really about what is comfortable. That comes when you overcome your struggles and look back at your life in your later years and think "i'm content with how my life went". Well anyhoo, if you read my message, hope you doing good in life, from a stranger to another :)
I can not begin to describe how much I love these playlists, life can be stressful sometimes, with school or work, or stuff we hear on the news such as countries threatening to go to war with each other. These playlists make me forget all that, they make me feel peaceful, hopeful, and at ease. I’m so glad I found this channel, not only has it made me a more peaceful person but it’s also inspired me to work harder on the projects I’ve always wanted to do. I hope that the other people listening to this can also feel the same way about it that I do. Well that’s all, thanks for reading!
Around this time last year, I kept waking up at 3:00am on the dot. I would just toss and turn until either the sun came up or I eventually went back to sleep. Then one night I just decided to get up, went for a drive to the inlet and walked onto the beach. Nobody around, dead silent except for the wind and waves crashing. I just laid my coat down and laid on the sand staring up at the stars. Was going through a bit of a rough patch and have some kind of institutionalized paranoia. Always think somebody is looking at me or just generally doesn't mean well for me. Realizing nobody was around I was able to completely just be at ease and let my mind flow freely feeling the cool wind hit me as I watched the stars dance. I feel like something kept waking up me so I could experience that moment.
It’s half 4 in the morning now.. exactly a year ago I moved by myself to the city and thought life would be a lot different, I thought somehow I would change overnight and get to be happy. Things have been tough and for the past 2 years around this time I seem to have to say goodbye to someone. I feel stupid for letting people in when I just disappoint them and myself over and over.. I did spent the last hour drawing and editing a video though when I struggled the whole day to move. I feel safer at night when everyone is asleep..I should stop thinking and sleep myself, thanks for the playlist. I can smell the vanilla candle I blew out a while ago.. it’s already getting light outside. I’m scared moments like these are the only time I get to feel free
Currently sick rn, nothing serious but just feeling extra emotional at the time being. This brings me great comfort and joy, i feel a little bit better with this, thank you 🤧
One November night after all the normal people were in bed, I went walk through the snowfall. With the sky blotted out, the only light came from lampposts every half mile down the mainly unused road. With the soft new snow covering the ground, my footfalls were perfectly silent. The only sound was my rhythmic breathing and an almost undetectable movement of air through light snowfall. The blackness was so complete that I could not make out ground, sky, or horizon. Distance became indistinguishable. I was floating in deep space perfectly alone. I became aware that if I ceased to exist, I wouldn't know it. Although it is impossible for an existing consciousness to perceive non-existence, I had an experience that came close. Non-existence was, surprisingly, not negative. It was a transcendent, timeless freedom beyond even oneness with being. It took an act of will to turn back and walk home, as I was tempted to lie down in the snowy blackness and let the moment become everlasting.
Being awake at 4am feels like everyone else on Earth is gone, and while that's a bad thing, you're at peace with it. This playlist really encapsulates that feeling.
Why would it be a bad thing....
@@halcyonzenith4411 gives a sense of loneliness, but once ur at peace w it all, its not so much a bad thing anymore.
@@xena1254 I remember loneliness. Haven't experienced that in decades. Life's not so bad, it's not great but it's not that bad.
@@xena1254 cause everyone still sleep or else
Literally
As a teenager, I would often stay awake all night and sleep most of the morning away. This playlist brings to mind one of my favorite memories of that timeframe: my brother had to work early in the morning and his car had broken down so I'd offered to give him a ride. He needed to be there around 6AM, a tad bit after I'd normally just have fallen asleep but I figured I'd push through to help out my sibling. Around 4 or so, I started to feel my normal fatigue and was worried I might pass out and not wake up for my alarm so I decided that I would go out to the pool to wake myself up. It was a clear night and the stars shined so brightly. It seemed absolutely quiet as I lay on my back in the pool, floating, staring at the beautiful night sky. I recall wondering how many people were doing the same thing as I was in that moment across our expanse of our world. It felt special to me, as though I was the only person to be experiencing that moment as I was. I think about that memory quite often.
Me pasa a veces.
that’s beautiful. i wish i could experience something like that at least once in my life.
If ever you're dropping a duece remember millions are doing the same thing my friend. It's truely a beautiful thing to think about. 🤔
@@silentneo1431 This is legit the thing I specifically try not to think about while dropping a clinker. It's a form of brotherhood I can do without.

1AM - scrolling through your socials until your fingers go numb.
2AM - hyper music, cool beats, dancing. vibing until your ears ring.
3AM - dark and funny rituals, silly potions, cringe videos. laughing until your lungs hurt.
4AM - peace, quiet, calm. birds have started singing. reading until your eyes are dry.
5AM - its time to sleep now, you had fun tonight. time to rest, youve done enough.
6AM - good morning.

Im gonna do this tonight I just decided

This isn't depression, this isn't sadness, this is peace.
Peace, silence and blissful solitude
peesuh
😊
true talk.
only when you let go of everything will you ever start to gain something.
It's interesting how 3am is the time where all the spooky stuff happens but 4am is the time of pure serenity
This
Calm always comes after the storm I guess no matter how spooky the storm was lol
3am has been fine for me

However 2-3 am is the peak time for people to murder....
8 months ago my one and only brother had an serious accident. The doctors were confirmed that there is no way that he can survive. My family was in great misery. We all were praying so hard for him. And the miracle happened. He was in the hospital for 5 months 20 days. My parents were giving all it takes to save their son. We got him back safe and fully recovered.
It's 12:50 am right now and sitting next to my brother. He is in fever and I am pampering him right now and listening to this calm beautiful music. I don't know why I just cried thinking that at that time when he was in the hospital I prayed to God so hard for this moment today and now I have it. Life has taught me to appreciate each moment from that accident. I am very thankful to God for this moment and for my brother and my family.
After reading all of yours comments I thought to share this story.
To whoever reading this God bless you.
Ah I am so glad to hear this 😎 Hope he's gotten better.
O Coração ficou quentinho com seu comentário...melhoras para seu irmão
God bless
So glad your brother is ok. Wishing him and your family many more years on this beautiful earth
I'm so glad that he is better, I can *never* imagine losing those I love, and seeing others suffer from his misery breaks my heart... hopefully we all can appreciate even the smallest moments of our lives with those we cherish so much before they go. Have a nice day
Reading everyone's comments, i just realized how similar all of us are. How similar we all feel and think, it's like we all are experiencing the same thing.
During highschool, even though i had to go to class in the morning, i would always stay up all night, and think about the little things in life. I would look at the moon and admire how peaceful it is, i would look at the stars and think about where they are in the space, i would stay up all night, just to watch the sky turn blue. Just to hear the birds sing, to feel the cold morning breeze.
I would admire everything in the world, while lying in my tiny little bed, away from everyone else.
I felt so happy during those times, it really felt like i needed to be alone after dealing with people at school. It was so drainig that all i longed for during the day, was to finally get home, lie in bed, play some music, and just chill.
To all of you who are struggling with school, who find it draining to talk to people or to be around them, it's okay.
Highschool will also end.
Remmeber to keep doing the things that make you feel happy or at ease. Remmeber to find something that will make you feel calm. It can be the moon, the stars, the blue sky in the early morning, the birds singing, or just the cold morning breeze.
Remember to love yourself, you are so much cooler than you think, so much better than you think.
I hope you are happy, i hope you are healthy, and if you aren't, there is no need to worry. Things WILL get better. Trust me.
If you read untill here, thank you.
Have a peacefull night, and atay safe. thanks for this amazing playlist.
🙌🏻
thanks man,you're a good person :)
That's so beautiful. ❤ I wish you well and thank you for sharing your story and wisdom! 😊
People with mindsets like yours always succeed in life
Thank you.. so much
The best part about being awake this early is that you feel like it’s only you in the world. The silence is beautiful. The stillness is beautiful. I think more people need to witness this level of peace
it is truly amazing, especially with this playlist.
may you enjoy the peaceful midnight hours.
realmente parece mesmo que você está sozinho
Absolutely
Not where I'm from. 4am still feels like noon here
5am and I'm awake, but going to sleep, so not quite the same i suppose
I had a moment in my life, around 16's, when I used to sleep really early after I got from school/work, so I could wake up late at night and silently leave home at 2-3am and walk around town. There were some gas stations and vendors open the whole night, so I would just go to some store, buy a soda and some snacks, stay a while and walk again. I lived uphill and the way down was totally dark, a trail across the woods. Somehow I enjoyed walking the dark path, felt afraid but wanted to face it everytime. I was totally conscious doing so, but couldn't identify the source of fear. As time passed, I questioned myself if I was really afraid, and concluded I never was. Perhaps it was an excitement found when confronting the unknown in total solitude. I used to return home by the sunrise, so I could make coffee and leave real early for school. I had problems at home and questioned my existence since young. During my walks I met interesting people and figured out many things that I carry until this day.
Anyways, congratulations on your music. As you can see it got me right there. You are very talented, keep doing it.
When I used to travel a lot across the ocean, when I'd get back home, the first day my sleep schedule would be messed up hard. So I'd get outside and walk the streets as the city slowly woke up around me.
That is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this story. It is so beautiful and comforting for me in a way. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day/night.
Your story is familiar one to me. My parents split when I was 5 yrs. I began sneak out at night for as long as I can remember ... early from 4 am things felt still enough for me to go outside and go everywhere. I lived in Gainesville near downtown .. mid 1960s thru the early 70s .... I would roam the town .... it definitely was the most exhilarating thing to experiment with. Cheers ....
This is was deeply and differently beautiful. I wish I could live such days ahead
I am a trucker and hit the road at 4am to have the road to myself and let me tell you this playlist is amazing to drive to at 4am.
Drive safe
best time to drive
@@lifeisabadjoke5750 Stay safe on the road 🙂
My husband drives OTR and one of his coworkers will only drive at night unless he HAS TO drive during the day.
If you bought it, a truck brought it. Thanks for what you do 😊
Cool, but be careful this music makes you want to sleep
I don’t think I do enough as a teenager, These stories are beautiful.
Just from this very short comment, I have a feeling you're insightful and smart. That's a good gift from God too... you can open up the world for yourself and others, through sharing what you see. I think you should keep doing it 👍
most of these stories are fake/exaggerated, you're doing fine
@@ZorroVulpes Bingo.
Make the most out of it, it goes by so much quicker than you think. Life can change in an instant, enjoy the time you have while you have it, take those risks and live your life while you can
I’m 30 now and I felt like this, but let me tell you a little secret - it’s never too late to make the memories you wanna have
I'm convinced 4am is the time of day most people are asleep. Most people go to bed before 4 and wake up after 4. It's the most calming and quiet hour of the night.
Personally, this may sound a little off putting to you (sorry in advance), but for me midnight (specifically 1 - well, 4AM) is when I’m most energetic and when I’m not nearly as pervaded and immobilized by overthinking and anxiety :/ “fun” fact it’s partly a reason as to why my name is what it is, with the other being well.. Sif is far too underrated for how amazing he really is. (If ya get it ya get it)
@@nocturnaliism fr, and I'm reading this at almost 4 am
Only in your time zone.
It's like the world is ours at that time
So done my fair share of night drives cross country. I'll tell you... 1-3 am are the most desolate.
Trucks lay in around midnight.
Families lay in around 9 or 10.
It's just you, your car, the road, and the sky above.
Especially already feeling lonely and depressed, you really get the feeling nobody is out there for you. You leave the places you call home to get told it's not home anymore. Where do you belong?
Driving through Montana late at night was one of the most soul taking experience I have had.
Nobody out there.
Just nobody.
Being up at 4am while knowing most of the others are still asleep is like having a little piece of the world to yourself for a bit.
Yeah, except if you're still trying to sleep, in that case is kinda frustrating laying on the bed for hours tryna get some sleep and your conscious just gets more and more active
It’s the exact reason why I am up at this time. 4am right now. My kids and wife are upstairs in bed so I’m downstairs listening to music and about to go drive for an hour and come back home and go to bed. I’ve been doing it for a year and a half. Battling depression.
I felt this so much
@@PickledPork420 same man. It will get better. Remember they love and value you. Your feelings matter. If you don't already, open up to those that care and allow yourself to receive support. The most important is to have hope. When I lost hope it got so bad. It's difficult but it won't always be like that. Stay strong
@@PickledPork420 you have a family, whatever their reason, whatever it is, I hope you're better, all the best to you and don't give up. 🇧🇷🤍
Being awake at 4AM is a very sacred time, Since going to college and getting a girlfriend I never really stay up this late, but tonight was different. My head just didn't seem to calm down so here I am with the same kind of people, up at 4 feeling that peace in the loneliness. I hope whoever is reading this is happy with where they are in life and if you aren't, I hope you strive to make yourself better day by day. I love you
What was it that had you feeling stressed out yesterday?
I feel this! I’m here because I’m
staying away from my partner for a night (not because anything’s wrong, just because I’m visiting my parents). Haven’t been here in a while… it’s quite an experience 🌌
As a person who goes out on late night drives for relaxation due to the calmness that empty roads give during that time of the night, this playlist best describes this feeling when taking these drives. Its not that I'm depressed, sad or have stress on my mind. The night drives are mostly a form of meditation or "peace moment" for me and even gives me a chance to self reflect about things, mostly positive or curious thoughts. It's amplified more so if you take these trips with friend(s) and/or family member(s) who have that same self reflective mindset.
I want to do this when I get my driver's licence
i remember going on non-stop road trips where we wouldn’t sleep at hotels, and we started often around sunset or nighttime. i often just stayed awake for the entire night before we got there the next day, and it felt lonely and desolate. i also remember everything about the gas stops we took, right down to the smell of the gas and the vibe of the store. those gas stations were often empty, too, so it truly felt like i was the last one on earth left.
Reminds me of driving during covid.
No one on the roads. And it's just you and your business
I do this too! Love those drives. ❤
reading comments of other people's experiences and moments before sunrise while listening to this also after midnight is... very calming
Got me sobbing
indeed
@@charli3824 same I'm glad I'm not alone
Same
It gets me feeling some type of way, sorta sentimental for some reason. Gets me thinking too.
This playlist reminds me of when me and my grandma would sleep on the couch together. I use to get very bad panic attacks at night when I was a kid and my parents would get angry with me if I woke them up. Me and my family lived with my grandparents and my grandma slept in the living room most nights. I would usually leave my shared room with my sister and go see my grandma. She usually is awake all night watching tv because it also helps her calm down. I sit next to her and we both always ate a piece of cheese before me explaining what my panic attack was about. She would ask if I wanted to watch anything special and I usually said the show where they build treehouses. We would lay down and watch TV while we both fall asleep. usually those mornings Me and my grandma would wake up early and go get breakfast from McDonald's if I had school she would take me( or take me to the beach). I miss my grandma. Shes still alive but she lives far away now. I moved to Kansas while she stayed in the same house on the same couch. I still get very bad panic attacks at night and I always hold anything that deals with my grandma. I want to be home with her. I want to watch the treehouse makers and tell my grandma we should make one. I want to be home. This place isn't home.
Home could also be when you think of your grandma, you always carry those awesome memories around with you. Even if she's far away. Keep writing. I enjoyed reading what you wrote.
Your grandma sounds like a special person... you were blessed to have her there. Keep in touch with her
Sounds like you got an awesome grandma
I wish I still had my grandma. We did everything together, she was my Best friend. Cherish every moment you have with her because one day God is going to take her and he doesn't care about what you feel about it. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and spend the last few moments with her as she passed, one day I hope to see her where we will walk the clouds of heaven.
this made me cry stop it rn
I grew up in a neighborhood in rural Pennsylvania. This playlist brings me back to my childhood. My friends and I would sneak out and wonder the town deep into the morning hours without a worry in the world. The buildings and streets felt so lifeless but were alive with the awe of youth. At that time we had no idea where our lives would take us. Life was calm and still. 13 years later I am 25 years old and live in a city. I have loved, lost, laughed, cried, hated, and forgave many times since then. Most of my childhood friends have moved on, some died, and a few I still talk to. It all seems like a distant memory from another life. And I know all my friends that explored the streets with me on those nights have done the same wherever they may be. I am content as I lay here.
❤
I also did the same in central PA. I miss those times during the summer where my friends and I would go all around the woods and into abandoned buildings to just explore and do whatever. Times were easier back then
4 am finds me awake from Monday to Friday because as a single Dad I have to wake up extra early to get my son and myself ready for the day. We have our early morning drive playlist as well as our afternoon home bound list. Some people ask me how do I manage being someones everything in this world sigh its an awsome task. To all the single moms and dads keep strong.
Praying for you to get some help soon my man 🙏 single dad here too. Non custodial though.
Good dad.
You get what you deserve. Be patient
we have a habit of finding fault and whining about every bad thing that we don't like or that we would like to give up just to make it easier for us. enjoy these moments while you are together and while you have the energy and until he has gone on his way without you. be proud and love you both. bright ideas and lots of good emotions for you
Good job sir! Your son definitely knows youre the best father. Have a good day ❤
It's 4:48 right now, honestly, this sounds about right.
4 am is when you feel like you're the only one awake in the world. Wether that's a good thing or a bad thing you don't know, but it's peaceful in some way.
well said *sigh
exactly! It's like, I don't know if kind of the perfect hour but somewhere around there.
I feel like I’m on mars just looking at the earth. Imagine how lonely her magnificent that must feel for the extreme few who may get to do it …
i literally saw your comment at 4:48am too!!!!!!!!!! holy shit
I like the idea of that being the case even for a moment, as the day eventually awakens around you
I didn't realize how much I missed the feeling of being awake, intentionally, without obligations or commitments at 4AM. Walking on train tracks or going for a drive. The air's cool and misty, the roads are quiet and empty, everything seems at peace for once. Way to capture that in a single playlist. I'm impressed.
the best feeling
That feeling when you see the sun rise after staying up all night, its addicting. Its like the best feeling ever youre happy and you just feel perfect.
Beautiful. The world is beautiful when you know you've just watched it wake up. Good morning, to this portion of the vast universe. Good morning.
I've never been one to comment on videos, but reading the comments gave me inspiration. As a young teenager, I remember spending many nights wide awake at 3AM laying on my friend's trampoline wondering how many people were staring up at the sky the same way I was at that very moment. I was in a small rural midwestern town and would take walks around down back roads while the sun just began to light up the sky. During the day, some of the worst times of my life happened, but at night, after the sun had been down for hours and in a few more the sun would be rising, there was such a sense of calmness and peace. People always talk about how high school are the best days of your life. I never understood that at the time. I still don't believe it was the best time of my life, but I would give anything to be thirteen again staring up at the midnight sky, listening to music without a care in the world.
This playlist reminds me of when I used to run away from home at night, because my father was always drunk and he could rant and shout all night. I would go to a fallen tree in the middle of an empty cornfield, spread a blanket on its trunk and lie down facing up the open sky, watch the stars until I fall asleep. This experience taught me to be unafraid of the dark, of being alone, and being far away from home.
you're amazing 💚 i Was brought up with a drunk mother
You're the type of people I would like to have a cup of coffee with, or maybe breakfast. Idk but y'all cool
While bugs start crawling on you and stuff

lyin ass this aint happen
Once a week, I wake up at 4AM and sneak outside with a grabber and plastic bag n start picking up trash from the local playground. Usually I do this around the start of the week, because on the weekend youth n other people hang out at night on the playground leaving behind trash like broken beer bottles, sharp bits of random plastic, used small plastic bags with drug remains, very rarely a used needle. Then I broaden the range to around the block where I know kids play outside bare feet. Somewhere around 5:30 I'd have a bag full and dump it in the local communal underground trash container before it's picked up by the trash collector. I'm gone before the first morning people go to work in my neighborehood.
Clean streets is that easy. One person with a grabber n a plastic bag. They'll never know who and they don't need to.
One of my cousins, when a little kid, picked up a needle he found, put it in his pocket and gave himself a jab. That was quite the scare and could've easily been a disaster, but he was fine afterwards.
You're awesome. Dont let anyone make you think otherwise.
That’s very nice of you, god bless 🙏
You’re awesome
I just want to thank you a lot
For this much of kindness ✨
Real heroes never wear capes and are never known. You're a real one
I suffer really badly from not sleeping, and it really does feel this way. Like you are the only person alive
2 years ago i had just joined brazillian army, we had to be ready at 5am for morning obligations so most of us were generally awaken at 4am. But sometimes, 3:30am was the best time to wake up because we could see, at least for 5-10 minutes, the sun rising up in the sky and it was one of the most beautiful views i have ever seen in my life, specially in rainy seasons. When i did my 1 year minimun required time of active service, i still find myself awaken at 4am staring at the sunrise before going to college. I can't explain the feelings, but sadnees is definetely not one of them.
Since everyone is sharing their beautiful 4am stories, I might as well share mine: It was somewhere around 4am and when my friends called me and asked if I could sneak out the house and hang out. I thought I might as well try so I somehow successfully snuck out and met with them. One person in the group was my crush, he was literally shining under the silver light the moon was producing. After some few hours the rest left but my crush stayed behind with me and we hung out. He suggested we went to the beach and watch the sunrise together. I was overjoyed and my heart felt as if it was going to jump out of my chest. We walked along the beach for literal hours before we same the hint of light, me and him both looked at each other and smile. We sat down and I dug my hand under the sand. The wind was gentle and the atmosphere was as perfect as it could be. I felt so free as the wind hit my face gently. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. I seriously never felt so alive.
We’ve been together for 5 years now and still counting🫶
Wow, that is so cute!!
WOWW that sounds sooo nice
So nice of you 🥺💫 Stay Happy ☺️
wow you are making me cry this is so beautiful
Dannnng that’s awesome… I wish I could feel that one day! God bless y’all ❤️

There have been countless nights where i have stayed up all night and left my room to go watch the sunrise. I can't recall any one specific moment, but the feeling of doing this is so incredibly special, it makes me feel like i'm the only person around for miles: quietly somber, but content. It's incredibly draining but I've never had any regrets
You all are my people. Its nice to see people here who don't jump straight to depression and addictions as the only reason people willingly stay up so late. Sometimes that is just how your body works though, you're naturally more awake and motivated in the dead of night than you ever can be during the day and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Well for me i think it does come from depression and addiction 😅 but I also just like the night a lot. There's less pressure at night. You're usually in a quiet, lonely situation that you can control. During the day all kinds of stressful and out of control things can happen. A lot of good things can happen too. Daytime is really important for physical/mental health. But its still nice to just rest quietly at night.
this doesn’t feel like the walk itself, it feels like *why* you’re on the walk.
facts my man.
Indeed it does. Reminiscence and regret, among other feelings, rushing through the mind. I wish I could go back...
This reminded me of some very lost memories. I always used to be an odd kid. I was more mentally mature then other kids and was very self reflective for a young child. My upbringing was pretty normal nothing to bad. But for some reason I always would get this feeling of adrenaline and would love the feel of the cold early mornings on my skin in the summer.
Fast forward in life and it is middle school. I have no real friends, a rather smart kid but didn't do well in school, and overall found no real purpose in life.
This is when I started going to my father's baseball games in a league made up with middle aged fathers. I ended up meeting a group of friends and we would spend hours talking before the games and after when our parents drinked beers and chatted until four in the morning.
The group consisted of me, another guy friend, and two sisters. Over the course of two summers we all became inseparable. That was until the other guy in our group had his parents divorce and he moved away. It was just me and the two sisters left. Until their father died in a DUI accident. He was killed by a drinking semi truck driver. They ended up moving away to their mentally unstable mother's a great distance away.
Just three years ago I was looking through my memories and realized that the older sister was the closest thing to true love I have ever felt. I went to go reconnect with her to find and obituary saying she had ended her life with pills. The younger sister at some point ended up in jail.
I live about a two hour walk to and from the old baseball field. So whenever I felt uneasy at night I would pick some flowers put some music in my ears and walk to the field. I would put the flowers on an old bench and sit there until I saw the sun.
I never really felt sad. Never cried. Never felt anything really. It was just a calming stillness of brisk summer air and familiarity of the bench.
I also realized that a single bench probably saved me from a similar fate of the sister's. It was because I found that you don't need a purpose in life to enjoy it. I don't need to be the one to benefit from connections of people. It turns out I want to be the person that would cause someone to walk in a dark early summer morning and enjoy a rising sun.
This video reminded me of that bench. And a lost smile that hasn't been forgotten.
This is truly beautiful.I’m sorry for your losses as well. You take care stranger and may you have a wonderful life❤️
I hope you are doing well mate, take care
Hope you're doing well dude, thank you for sharing
What happened to the guy in the group that moved away? Perhaps you could try to build contact with him.
Heartbreaking and beautiful. God bless ❤️
I'm awake everyday at 4am. Weekday and weekend.
I think I prefer waking that early. . . while the world is still sleeping. Quiet. Peaceful.
Can hear Mother Earth.
About 2 to 3 years ago, during the summer I would fall asleep at 6am and wake up at 2pm everyday. When I was awake I would do nothing but play video games and listen to music. One morning I had made a bowl of cereal at around 6am and just sat on my bed staring out the window. I felt so at peace with myself and the world around me. I think about that moment a lot, sometimes I crave to feel that experience again but I have learned that it can only really come to you organically.
About a year ago, I snuck out of the house to go on a walk at night. To be honest, it was kind of spiritual for me. I went to the park and it was completely empty. I could see the stars in the sky and the only lighting being the street lamps along the sidewalk. At first I was frightened and scared that I’d get hurt because that’s all I’ve ever heard about what things are like outside at night. But I calmed down once I laid in the grass and listened to everything around me. Pure silence. My brain not making me feel horrible about everything, nobody talking down to me… just silence. And that was truly the best feeling I have ever felt.
Since then, I’ve been sneaking out when life has been hard for me. That’s quite often, of course, but it does seem to really help me calm myself down. Life has been hard lately but it’s been hard trying to find time to sneak out. Hopefully I can go back soon, but this playlist reminds me of it. It’s very calming.
it's so soothing to even read this. i feel good that you have found your happy place. even if it's outside of your so called home. take warm wishes stranger
I know exactly what you mean, about a 7 minute walk from my house is a field beside a river. Whenever I need some time to truly be alone I go there in the dark of the night. My thoughts accompanied by the sound of the flowing river.
I do this too, but I find it is even more soothing for me when it is raining. My area doesn't have rain often and that little benefit of my favorite weather on top of being completely alone in nature is just perfect.
I wish I could a moment when no one is screaming or blaming something on you just to stare up at the stars alone just enjoy the calm atmosphere...sound like heaven ^^ maybe when I get older?
I go on 3 am walks every few weeks. They're so peaceful, as no cars are around and its so quiet, just me and the world. I'd go to a local park and just lie on the hillside watching the lights of the city. One time I saw a coyote or something in the grass which was kind of spooky, but it went away after a brief staring contest. Once I accadentally fell alseep on the hillside and woke up at around 6 when the sun was rising. I was like "oh shoot" and rushed back home before my parents found out I had left. Fun times
this comment section feels like a safe place.

Im a mental health professional/ therapist these days. I had insomnia and anxious nights throughout my younger years. This playlist and pictures symbolize to me so much of what it feels like to feel like that again. Im thankful that I have gotten to a better place mentally and I hope everyone else watching this is doing ok.
It’s currently 4:10am and I just realized how happy and calm I am during the night.
It’s currently 3:39am and I decided to go out for a walk and made it pretty far. I made it to a bus stop with this peculiar light that flickers on and off right above me. I feel so alone but at peace, yesterday I woke up around same time and went for a hike to a mountain and stared off a cliff as I stood at the edge. There’s something about feeling very close to your demise. I look up at the stars and wonder just how many other people are walking around just as I am right now and what goes through their heads. My names Jorge by the way but people call me George. I’m 21 years old and I wish to someday make more of myself by moving into the mountains out of California with my dog and becoming a firefighter.
i wish you and your dog the best
All the best to you, Jorge. Hi five from Brazil.
You can do it man. If you really want to.
My name is Jorge too and we have a same dream to be a fire fighter. Godbless you mate.
I’ll be praying for you Jorge....my dream is to be isolated from the world into the mountains as well someday where there is no distractions
I love staying up past 4. No phones ringing, no one asking questions, no obligations. Just you and the night. Its like at that moment you know who you are.
One of the best times in the day.
I agree it gives you time to think and compose yourself before starting a another stressful day
Chilling in bed, total darkness I just had that exact feeling of being at peace. Wow its nice 😂
This describes sm...
waking up early tho >>>
Its 4:00 AM here and I feel absolutely great and being able to let go of anxiety and genuinely enjoy memories and living the moment
Waking up, or didn't sleep?
@@DinnerForkTongue didn't sleep ... Whenever I can I stay late for enjoyment
at 4am, it feels like the only time being alone with your own thoughts isn't terrifying but so relaxing. no one is there to see you, hear you, or do anything to you. it's pure solitude and reflection. whenever it's late at night and not so cold, i like to sit on the porch and stare down at the street, breathe for once and just think. when the world is asleep, it is the best time to be awake.
I really, really hope you guys never stop sharing these stories. I’m going through it pretty bad right now but this feels like such a safe haven. You all are awesome
I'm sorry that you're having a rough time and hope things get better for you soon.

A choice to go the extra mile
A choice to change
You have a choice to live. Not because life is easy,but because it isnt. Because life is a gift and a great challenge. Never forget that in your darkest dark there is a way out. I know because, just like you can, i fought to it and found it.
I struggle alot of the month and find myself awake at 4am wondering if anyone else is doing the same. I listen to my family sleep and try to be as quiet as I can. Up just staring into the fire some nights..just...thinking...u are not alone. I guess if life didn't have struggles we wouldn't know what true joy is..
I was homeless when I was younger. New York City is different when you're up at the witching hour. This music gives me the feeling of when I would explore to keep myself up at night. I was lost but the night and stars always guided me the right way and this album truly expresses those moments. It was a tough time in my life but those moments helped me grow both spiritually and mentally. I currently work overnights as security guard and I listen to this at 4am. By the time the album is finished. I open up the doors and if it's Summer (currently it's 7/7/22), I get to see the sunrise and the beauty it brings with it.
that is an amazing story, man. thank you for sharing
Damn that’s amazing to hear. Hope things keep going well for you brother
youre a king
I feel you can write really good. Have you ever considered this? I think it has something to do with you optimism and good spirit.
@@richullingfivefivefive1745 There was a time I did want to write but my family shunned the idea of doing anything that is too risky. I regret letting them mold me but I'll look into writing my feelings like I did above and see how it works out. Thanks for the advice
It’s honestly so nice to see people come together and relate in the comments. You might feel alone with whatever you’re going through but hearing and seeing other people talk about how they have had the same experiences offers some sort of solace. We might all feel like you’re alone, but when we all feel the same we’re never really truly alone. I hope we can all be better as time passes.
Reading all these stories makes me feel a connection I rarely feel. This music brings me to a place of serenity, peace, and balance. The feeling of being awake at 4am, existance, creation, life, makes me feel like there is more. I love these hours. Nobody is awake and expects anything from you. You have a moment to dream, where the world slows. I think about the future. Staring at the stars, the moon, the planets, we all know there is more out there for us. All of that, and to think, what am I doing with my life? Why don't I take advantage of this? The whole world should be like 4am. The connection that this music invokes is a great wonder to me. Dreamy. Inspiring. Balanced.
“Nobody is awake and expects anything from you” - I felt this! I have a less night-owly schedule now, but I remember really liking this feeling back in the day… especially on night runs. No strangers expecting me to act “normal” on those late nights… just me and the stars 🌌
Being awake at night is such a peace i can finally breathe normally
Its just better because the whole world is sleeping while ur awake
You thought you ate that up fr. Superficial ass comment
@@Jaxon_Klein shut up
Technically, half a good percentage of the world is awake too. However, statistically speaking, few of them can speak your language.
you get good wifi and you realxs even thoe you feel sleepy at night....its still better to go to bed
@@trendingone42 depends what place you live in, around my area, barely anyone is awake. Plus biking at 4am is such a nice thing, you have so much area to urself
When I was thirteen, I had horrible bouts of insomnia. One November, during a full moon, I took a walk around 4 a.m. It was clear, cold and achingly beautiful walking through the small forested area behind the house. I walked for hours. No light to guide me other than moonlight. I have rarely felt so at peace, yet so alive at the same time. That was forty-six years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. This music reminds me of that magical walk.
Lovely
It's a lovely feeling knowing how simply going for a walk at such a time can bring such a euphoric feeling to oneself
chills!
That’s beautiful
@Fiskas that hits harder than I think :/
Lots of good comments here. As another introvert, I have always loved those off-hours times when no one else is around. I used to live in Minneapolis, and very early winter mornings were a special time. I used to play video games until very late, and then before going to bed spend time looking out my living room window that had a view of an urban residential alley way. Snow falling under the light of an orange sodium gas street light against an overcast sky, filling up the road with more fresh snow. Absolute quiet and peace. I miss those times.
❤
Fellow introvert here. I once went on a walk at 4 am because I couldn't sleep and didn't need to either and it was the best walk of my life.
It feels comforting to know how many people enjoy the feeling of total peace and calmness of the night.
I used to work as a chef and night was the only time I felt safe. Not calm, not happy - safe. I used to work in places where you'd get phone calls on your day off, getting shit from your supervisors for the littlest things. The same supervisors would tell you that your paycheck will be late two, three weeks because "business is hard" and then act like nothing happened. I was spending my days off planning my shifts, just to get everything done on time and not fuck up another thing. Work was the only thing on my mind. So yeah, sitting at 2-3 AM on the balcony, beer in one hand, a cigarette in another, just looking at the skyline, listening to the trees humming on the wind. That was my haven. Now I have a steady office job and much more confidence to not get shitted on. And I feel much better on day to day basis. But there was something magical about experiencing the night at those times. And I miss this feeling a lot. Of course, nothing stops me from enjoying the night today. But it just doesnt feel the same. I don't miss the times where the night was the only time I did not feel scared. But I do miss the relief it gave me.
This reminds me of being at a sleepover, while you randomly wake up, while all of your friends are still asleep around you. The moonlight from the window casts a beautiful glow across their faces, and you can’t help but smile; having the most wonderful friends ever. You get up and get a glass of water in the kitchen. The air is still and your mind is half asleep. This is when I feel most at peace, In the dead of night.
I just wanted to say something to the hero behind this channel.
Many of your subscribers here that are listening to your wonderful selection of music, are mostly misunderstood, in pain or just seeking some solitude and someone, something to understand them.
As you know, music is the best companion to make you feel sane when no one understands what you are going through.
So my friend, thanks.
Sometimes, only God understands and cares, but that's alright, because He will give us love like none found in the world.
God is so amazing, He has gifts and plans for each and every one of us. Unfortunately, broad is the road to destruction, as many will never listen to Him, and choose their own ways of limited knowledge instead of leaning on Him and His infinite wisdom.
The Lord has great plans for those that heed the call.
@@skorp265 Amen. 🤍🔥
This channel has really helped me quiet my mind and focus on what's important.
What you're saying is very true and very beautiful. Yet i would also like to add that soon, this comment will have 420 likes and thats funny; have a nice day/night
I don’t even understand me bro
And then there's me who just wants to listen to some music :I
Beside my past and present habits, staying up most of the night still makes me feel different and a bit lonely, and nothing beats your parent or friend waking up and deciding to keep you company. For a bit, it's like being a kid again and showing them your strange world out of time and space, where you are yourself and there's only you and that person. Really a special moment to live out
Currently in college, I just always love staying up late and lying in bed looking up into the darkness every night just thinking about everything. It’s just so peaceful and relaxing
a couple nights ago i was awake at 4am and decided to take a little walk through my snowy neighborhood. it was an unmatchable calming experience. i really can’t explain how extraordinary it was. thank you for this
I did this recently, and it was so magical. I walked in the street looking up at the sky. Those are the moments that will be remembered for a life time
Please, do it again, but play this playlist and just walk, and walk... Until you meet the first rays of the sunrise, then get back home and appreciate the gift of freedom you've been given. We can literally go everywhere and anywhere at any given time. How wonderful is that!
@@Milena-ix5mq yeah bro we’re not tryna die or get get frostbite amputations here. Stop trying to be deep and go touch some grass under the snow. Go hug a tree. Give up on your dreams and aspirations because you’re never getting them.
@@Jaxon_Klein calm down dude💀

Woke up an early summer morning last year, and i had to drive home from my girlfriend, who lives 150KM away from me. It was around 4AM in the morning, and I drove on the highway as the only person for quite some time. I did probably only see 3-4 cars on the whole way home. I have a hard time describing the feeling it gave me, listening to ambient music like this while driving that morning. Its just something that i won't forget. Such an inner peace. I really felt like i was the last person in this world. That feeling is very fascinating, because it feels really good in some ways, but can be truly scary in other ways.
Going for a walk or run at 4am with this playlist is truly something special. It melts away worry, doubt, and stress for the day to come. It is part of my daily routine now
This reminds me of a time that I somehow found a forever friend. I usually see myself as someone who only helps people and never stays there forever but one day that all changed. I met this girl who was awful and she made me really sad but I wanted to fix her so badly so I tried and tried and tried until I found a way. Tell her what I was doing, she went through with it and found out how nice it is to be nice and to be kind towards others. I told her that I had done my work and had to leave I told her that she did a good job, she didn’t want to leave me though so she tells me that she’s scared of losing someone who is as kind as kindness itself; that sentence made me burst out into tears. We hugged, she is still my friend to this day she always makes me happy. Her funeral was the only thing that made me cry.
I remember one of the first times I got high was with my best friend in his backyard at 2am, we decided to smoke in the hottub and look up at the stars together. Something about watching the stars with him made me feel whole, like he understood the sadness I felt. We just gazed at the stars until the sun came up. He's passed away now, and I often think about that time when we were just dumb kids trying to be happy.
❤
🫂
All the best to You, fella. Be strong 💪
Almost three months ago I've lost my best friend as well (13th Sep). Suddenly. He would be 33yo on 11th Nov. I consider myself as an introvert in most part. Didn't really ever had the need to be sorounded by dozens of "friends", because time & life itself have showed me with every single year, that quality is more important than quantity. We knew each other for about 20 years. Once when we got high, He admitted that He kissed my girlfriend, when we were about 15-17yo. But that didn't stopped me from cleaning His house after a party, when everybody bailed and I was the last one left at around 4am. His parents were coming back on the same day afternoon and I knew, seeing Him completely wasted, that He won't be able to clean up later all of that mess. Countless times when He thanked me for that.
I think that I'm still in a phase of some kind of denial, just hard to accept it. Miss You, Buddy 💔
Really hope your doing good so many stories lost to suicide like this and ppl with amazing experinces idk what I would’ve done back then without my friend if he passed too many good things we lose
@@dexxfa7274 I'm doing good I appreciate you for asking. Just life is different without them you know
I'm glad to have found yall here.
I remember during middle school and high school I would stay awake around this peaceful hour. I used to read a lot of books back then and would often read them when everyone is asleep, they couldn't bother me from doing what I loved most. But around 4am I would often stop and just listen to the silence around me. Yes, at times my mind would wonder to the dark moments of my life up to that point and it would cause me to cry. But looking back I needed those moments to truly feel. I remember once in 7th grade I was going through this same moment and stopped when I started to see the sun rays coming through my bedroom window. My parents were sleeping in the other room and I was alone in my mine. Just having this distinct feeling when listening to these tunes felt so heavy when watching that sun come up. I recall deciding to go on a walk that same morning. I heard my mom wake up and go off to work, I then snuck out. For once I didn't have my headphones on, just simply heard the noise of the world waking up around me with the feeling of the sun warming up my face and neck. When I got back home my dad was already up and for some reason, he didn't question why I was out so early. I went to my room and slept for a few hours. It's great to feel this feeling again, but now its on more happier, calm terms in life.
At times I feel this is the same feeling I would get when I would one day lay on a sheet of snow when looking at the bare trees on a cloudy day. My feet would be cold but I know my boots will keep them warm. My ears will be warming up as my coat is now covering them while I lay back. The tip of my nose will be cold as ice when I touch it at the same time that I can feel my neck being secured by the piled up snow lifting my head up. To see each breath I take come out as fog it'll blend so well with my sight of seeing the bare trees in that snowed land. This music have helped me create this distinct memory that I know I am yet to live.
thank you
This reminds me of being up late at night with my first love. At a party with all of our friends, we slipped away into the front yard to get some air. We just laid right on the concrete and looked up at the stars for some time. There is something about feeling so small by looking up at the expansive universe while at the same time feeling so significant and loved by the person right next to you. Being present in that moment is one of the greatest memories of my life to this point. The feeling of belonging in such an expansive and improbable existence is a very reassuring feeling. No matter what is out there, we are here, and that in itself is significant. We didn't talk much while laying there, but we didn't need to. We have been together five years now. I am nearing the end of college while doing long distance right now, I have every intention on loving her for the rest of my life.
what a beautiful comment, powerful statement
I'm a really big late night driver. I love just getting in my car and taking off on some random highway or interstate, radio blasting and the windows down. It just feels, calming? Being alone out on the road, having the trees fly past me, it feels like I've found a sort of freedom, like a bird that's taken first flight. Although this playlist isn't the sort of music I play during these drives, it does perfectly match the feelings I get
Wow same here, nothing better than cruising around late night, admiring the city lights and feeling the breeze hit your face as you shift gears.
It’s crazy to think that so many people on earth feel like they’re the only people on earth at 4 AM but are all awake at the same time basking in the peaceful loneliness
It's Christmas Eve, or it was because as the right now it's almost six in the morning. It's been a long time since I've been awake this late the last time. It's been... A very packed day, in it's own way.
Thank you for the music and thank y'all for such kind comments to read, as I finally feel a calm settle inside me I've missed from another life. I'm with you there under the stars, and I love you unconditionally
I’m a 14 year old boy who is barely passing school. I use to blame the world and my teachers, but now I realize its all me. I get in trouble a lot, and don’t fit in most places because I’m awkward, and nobody likes me that much. I will stay up until 4am staring outside my second story window at the moon, and at the stars. It’s the only thing that keeps me calm. The only thing I can cry in peace to. The only thing that keeps me…. Me. My dog died last week, and I’ve been very depressed. Sometimes I just wanna end it all, but then I remember that even though life is tough, there’s a path for you. Things WILL get better. I may be going through a hard time now, but it will get better. I want you to know how special you are. How beautiful, talented, and amazing you are. You are better than you think, you are funnier than you think. There are people that love you in this world, and the fact that you had a 1/47trillion percent chance to be born makes you special. If your reading this up to this point, I bless you with all my heart. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay alive. You matter. No matter what anybody tells you. You. Matter.
its 3 am and i am getting goosebumps reading everyone's 4am stories. its the best
no you ain’t 😭 take that vibrator out and close your window. they should go away pretty quick
I have issues with sleep, and im a horrible introvert. I express myself through music a lot and spent most of my time alone because of these 2 things and i just wanted to say thank you for making a playlist that reminded me im not alone. Weird as it may sound. Its good to know there are people out there who think of us and make playlists with us in thought. Thank you.
Music has helped me through some really hard times. I feel as if I have a special connection to it, more special than most people do. It's people like you I look out for, so I admire the fact you took the bravery to leave this comment here! Have a great night/day :)
Music is something special truly
WE ARE NEVER REALLY ALONE!
I know this is mainly meant for when you can't sleep or just to listen to late at night but this is really helping me study. I swear, I've been procrastinating watching TH-cam videos for the past 2 hours but now that I clicked on this video, it calms me down and really encourages me to get my stuff done. Thank you for this 🙏
The middle of the night is always great. A time were nothing matter and anything that does matter can be delt with in the morning. Its very freeing of anxiety, stress, and people. It is my favorite time of day.
I am in fact awake most days at this hour, the world feels peaceful, chaos is gone, nature takes over, and it makes life worth living
this is so true!
My brother and I used to stay up all the way till 6 am playing games (gta, max payne, hitman) I never got to play much since I was young, but I enjoyed watching him play, the sounds of our silent house and neighborhood with only our pc's noise were the most amazing inexplicable feeling to me as a kid. Sadly life happens to people, and we grew apart, he's a happy married man with a beautiful daughter! And I'm so happy for him. And now I'm listening to this, about to cry because I miss those simpler times.
I didn’t find this playlist; this playlist found me today at 4am - sick, stressed and unable to fall back asleep - and I’m so glad it did.
I love seeing so many people share their stories. Hearing how others were impacted by them then sharing theirs. This is what being human is about. The feeling of peace when the rest of the world should be asleep but the folks like us that are still up, soak in it. The smell of the air and the birds chirping as the sun slowly starts to creep in. I love that so many of us can share this feeling. Be connected in some way that doesn’t have to be personal. Just the pure feeling of peace at 4am. May you all know peace like that everyday. When it’s not 4am. But when you wake up or shower or eat or just when you’re being still. Sending love.
I can never find much to say in comments, but..I’m glad spaces like this exist, somewhere. It almost feels like a miracle sometimes, this day and age. I feel at peace here, listening to this music. Even now, I’m sat outside at 2:45 AM in 40° weather, just..listening. Reading people’s stories. Feeling the cold wind on my face. It’s..freeing.
I’ve always been a recluse. Felt like an outcast. Depression hits people like that hard sometimes. But..I consider myself lucky nowadays. In this silly little thing called life, I’m finally beginning to find myself, little by little. I’m finding peace and happiness in my own way, little by little.
For anybody else out there reading this, who feels like they’re wandering aimlessly..I hope you can find your way. Take it one step at a time, if you need. Its not too late; It’s never too late.
Me too. I feel the same way.
40 degrees is pretty cold. I'm from Southern CA so maybe I'm biased. Was just in the PNW last week and it got down to 20 overnight... now that was cold.
Shoot man, that almost made me cry
You're not alone 💯 Easy times make weak men. Weak men make hard times. Hard times make strong men. We're in the stage were most guys are tired of the bullshit and just want peace with themselves.
@@kylesinclair6324 Same.
This music takes me back to a time when nothing mattered. I used to stay up till the crack of dawn with friends across the world playing video games thinking the good times would never end. That was over 6 years ago and now in just a month I will be leaving for college. I now have the burden of worrying about my future, my finances, and my relationships. I wish I could go back to one of those winter nights at 4am playing video games without a care in the world.
All I have to say is to enjoy the simple times while you have them because nothing gets easier in life.
It's a bit saddening that the general human spirit it to learn, to explore, to yearn for information of everything that exists. When we grow older, we do lose that child-like mindset of being perfectly content with just playing video games. But in every person's life, there will come a point where we realize there's more to life than just the small things, like video games. Sure, those times were the easiest, not knowing anything but fun and games, but... Is that all you really want to know?
Cherish your youth but do not waste your 20s. Realize those times are not coming back ever again but look on them fondly.
Boy if this ain't the realest story. I just told my own late-night story in a new comment and I pretty much had the same feeling there, it was the year I graduated high school and the world was full of possibilities and worries.
Honestly, modern society destroys who we once were. Life is definitely not easy and it does indeed get worse; but I find that people usually trap themselves in a cycle of misery. The system does not care about us and traps us into a loop and we become complacent and simply go along with it instead of standing up for ourselves.
If you want to enjoy your life through your adulthood, start doing things that are meaningful for you and try your best to find other options to make income. Also look into minimalism. The best we can do is reduce our suffering as much as possible. Make time for hobbies or things you enjoyed as a kid and that you still do enjoy. Do not lose yourself in this corrupt system, for the system does not care for you; neither should you care for the system. Rebel against it in whatever way you can.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Lots of young people feel this way, but in a way it's not about you finding your way in this material and superficial world. The real journey is about finding yourself and understanding that there us purpose in your existence, you may not think it's significant, but it is. The molecules within your body was made from the stars (fusion process), and eventually your energy will return there...... Just remember a few simple things (that helped me)
1. Live simply and within your means
2. Avoid materialism and following the crowd
3. Everything in the material world is designed for one thing, to distract you from your true self
4. Seek nature, eat healthy, exercise, and seek people (or animals) of good character
5. Helping others gives far greater inner reward and peace that a high powered career
6. The greatest things you have if value are your health, time, and good family or friends (the rest actually doesn't matter that much at the end)
7. Learn a practical hobby, be self sufficient as much as you can, cook for yourself
8 Don't chase women, focus on improving yourself, and avoid marriage in the West
9. Be kind and tolerant to others, but don't let them step over you
10. The best things in life ARE free, learn to enjoy them.
11. Avoid mainstream media, newspapers, politicians, lawyers and criminals, learn to think for yourself, don't assume what you others say is the truth... There are always at least two sides to a story
Don't fear the future, it doesn't exist. Live in the moment and appreciate now. Plan for the future, but do not worry if it does not work out for you. The universe intended for you to be where you are, and tje future is unwritten.
All the best and cherish the good memories of life, life has ups and downs, but learn to appreciate what is good in your life and be content with what you have (but strive for more)
I travel to Texas every summer because my dad lives there, meanwhile my mom lives in AZ. This reminds me of the days i travel to and from Texas, i wake up very early and feel a tired feeling while seeing the dark sky with the city lights. That feeling is somehow nice to me, i now absolutely love the mornings in the dark, aswell as nights.
Truly needed this because life has been overwhelming. I hope all of the people feeling like this will be able to rest and feel calmness within their surroundings and themselves.
Just after COVID lockdowns hit I had a lotta time off work alone, so I started riding around Tokyo on my bicycle in the middle of the night. Thanks to the pandemic, everywhere was completely deserted and still. I saw one of the most populated cities in the world in total peace. A truly surreal, beautiful and yet brief time in my life that I will never forget.
You mean the whole city was empty? I wish i could’ve experienced that. But unfortunately i live in the USA, the country that never sleeps.
that sounds fuckin creepy
i hope to move there one day
that's sounds like and awesome experience
i am in love with nights like that.. where nothing is out but you and the stars!
As an introvert, the night owl and a person who needs so much courage to do literally anything because of anxiety.. I rarely comment. But reading people's comments here gave the feeling of extraordinary connection that I can't feel often. I always wonder if there's anyone who thinks and do what I do. If there's someone who feels so much, so deeply but at the same time feels empty, broken and lonely, who needs somebody to hold their hand. It's 7am and I'm still awake, my day and my sleep schedule got unhealthy again these days. But I've always preferred the night time, the stars, the moon and that peaceful yet longing feeling. Like.. Nobody wants anything from you and you can just exist. Pretending that time doesn't. Only the blue early morning light breaking through the windows reminds of it. I used to think about the past so much, think about some people's shadows and crying. Or think about the future which is very stressful when you have no idea what to do. So I'm trying to stay in the present and just catching moments, I think. Being so sensitive is difficult, like a curse. But they say that we should think of it as a superpower. And I kinda like it. The world needs us, right?
Listening to this music makes me miss something that I don't have. Dreamy. I feel like there's so much to give, so much to tell. Whenever I look at the night sky I wonder, where's this soul who does the same and looks for a soulmate? If you're reading this - hello and thank you! ✨
You know I've been exactly the same way at different times in my life. I'd stay up all night until the sky started to get light outside, then sleep all day. I was also really anxious about going out, seeing people... even anxious about leaving my room. But I always hated seeing the sky get light in the morning. It just felt like I had wasted an entire night of sleep and I was about to waste an entire day, getting bad quality sleep while the sun is up. For your sake I really hope you turn around your sleep schedule. No matter whatever I went through God was always there for me. Even in those darkest times when I had no one, he was there, forgiving my sins and taking care of me. ❤

@James Codz You wrote it beautifully. The cold embrace of the dawn.. Pretty romantic. I can relate to you. There's something in sharing moments with another understanding person. That's my biggest wish I think.
My therapist told me today that I talk about others with so much care, leaving myself behind. That I need to take care of the "little me"..
The nostalgia I feel listening to this playlist late at night. When I was a kid, after my parent's divorced, I lived with my dad for awhile. He had to get up super early for work. Every night I would leave him a note under his door before bed to remind him to wake me up at 4am to. I enjoyed having coffee during the early peaceful morning with him before he left. I enjoy getting sleep as much as I can, but I do like the rare occasions (such as this) where I'm up late at night, warm cup of coffee, all is quiet, and the world feels at peace.
This story made me very happy as a dad, I just want you to know that. You really loved him and I know he loved you. You were both blessings from God to each other during that time. Divorce is an incredibly painful thing to go through... you were a lifeboat for him. ❤
4:00am (or there abouts) is my favourite time of day, it’s so quiet and peaceful.
Couldn't agree more
For some reason, this playlist makes me cry. This whole playlist reminds me of my late grandpa. He died right after my birthday in 2020, still remember my brother knocking on my door so well, it was around 4am as well. I remember it so well...we had just bought him back home from the hospital, the docs had told us that he doesn't have much time to live so it'd be better if we'd all stayed with him together. The cold chilly feeling of that December night when the ambulance had pulled up at 1am and they got him out and we all went inside together into our house. I remember standing next to his bed as he looked at me while i was trying so hard not to breakdown as my shaky hands reached up to his mouth to feed him my birthday cake. I remember him mumbling something, but i don't remember what he said. Ever since i was a kid, I've been the closest to that man. Literally, the only man i look up to. We used to play games i had created on my own where I'd make new rules every single time we played, he'd always let me win. I remember those days when both of us would sneak out of the house to go eat something without grandma knowing. Death doesn't scare me. The memories the dead leave me with scares me.
My dad died in 2020 a month before my birthday 🥺😔
it’s kind of scary how much i can relate. my grandpa died too in 2020, barely a month before my birthday. i remember my brother knocking on my door at 5am, and then going over to my grandpas house in the night to say goodbye. i’m sure that even after 2/3 years it’s hard but one thing i know is that we’ll be okay
I'm 23 y.o. and it's exhausting because i thought i'd dead by now. no plans, no thoughts, just existence. i like to lie on the floor at night and listen to such playlists
Jesus loves you, He is waiting for you to trust Him with open arms and give you purpose ..
Im right there with you. Just keep on marching on, and hope it gets better.
Damn brother 20 years here pretty much same except it hit me about a year ago when I was like shit I’m still here and realized I have to start helping myself or imma just drown in silence I wish you the best of luck
@@dexxfa7274 I sometimes ask myself am I really here? Because I never thought I’d make it this far.
I'll be 40 in 2 weeks, most of my adult life I have felt the same. I hope things get better. I'm just trying to focus on the beautiful people and things in life, thats what gets me through
My ear infection is so bad I can't sleep at all. It's throbbing and I can't hear through it. This relaxes me enough to.. well.. relax. Thank you
Currently 3:10am.. Laying here while all these thoughts flood my mind. Times I contemplate my life being non existent as in not being a tiny spec in this world. This type of music brings me serenity and honestly I haven't had that in awhile
This brings me back when I was younger (like very young like 6yrs old) I would sneak out of my house in the morning to watch the sunrise and sunset. I remember the night after my grandmother passed the sky was beautiful it had a strong orange with a slight pink hint in it, I remember then crying and asking why she had to leave me and feeling a breeze as if it was her giving me a hug and apologizing. I still miss her and watch sunsets and sunrises to this day.
Beautiful

It’s currently 5 am and I’m feeling more restless than usual. My girlfriend is fast asleep next to me and I lay awake here calmed by this beautiful scenery. I just recently got fired from my very first job that I’ve worked at for 3 years, and while that seems like a bad thing I feel a sense of freedom that I haven’t felt since I was an unemployed teenager with no responsibilities except for school. I’m not sure where life will take me now but I have a feeling everything is going to work out just fine. Bless you to all the beautiful people in this comment section, I hope peace follows you all wherever you may find yourself in this life. One love ❤
For me, being awake at 4am makes me feel at peace. At peace because no one expects anything form you at that time and you can simply be.
the last few months of my senior year of highschool were cut short by the pandemic in 2020. I went from sleeping at 12 and waking up at 7:30 to sleeping at 4:00 everyday. Those late night hours were some of the most peaceful times of my life. Now I'm back to grinding school/internships and I kinda miss that period of time when I didn't have responsibilities and could sleep whenever I wanted.
yeah, i can see that. However, the pandemic took a huge chunk of my time and i missed a lot of opportunities to network and build relationships. Those days were a blur as I would constantly wake up and not even know what day it was. After society began to open up in my area, it was kinda hard to adjust and try to gain back my lost time. However, I did kinda missed those days of peace knowing that next day would be the same as yesterday. It was like a very long lunch break that seemed like it would never end but life isn't really about what is comfortable. That comes when you overcome your struggles and look back at your life in your later years and think "i'm content with how my life went". Well anyhoo, if you read my message, hope you doing good in life, from a stranger to another :)
hi dudu cum back soon
The fact alone that I found this at 4:33 a.m. is just cool😂
I can not begin to describe how much I love these playlists, life can be stressful sometimes, with school or work, or stuff we hear on the news such as countries threatening to go to war with each other. These playlists make me forget all that, they make me feel peaceful, hopeful, and at ease. I’m so glad I found this channel, not only has it made me a more peaceful person but it’s also inspired me to work harder on the projects I’ve always wanted to do. I hope that the other people listening to this can also feel the same way about it that I do. Well that’s all, thanks for reading!
Around this time last year, I kept waking up at 3:00am on the dot. I would just toss and turn until either the sun came up or I eventually went back to sleep. Then one night I just decided to get up, went for a drive to the inlet and walked onto the beach. Nobody around, dead silent except for the wind and waves crashing. I just laid my coat down and laid on the sand staring up at the stars. Was going through a bit of a rough patch and have some kind of institutionalized paranoia. Always think somebody is looking at me or just generally doesn't mean well for me.
Realizing nobody was around I was able to completely just be at ease and let my mind flow freely feeling the cool wind hit me as I watched the stars dance. I feel like something kept waking up me so I could experience that moment.

It’s half 4 in the morning now.. exactly a year ago I moved by myself to the city and thought life would be a lot different, I thought somehow I would change overnight and get to be happy. Things have been tough and for the past 2 years around this time I seem to have to say goodbye to someone. I feel stupid for letting people in when I just disappoint them and myself over and over.. I did spent the last hour drawing and editing a video though when I struggled the whole day to move. I feel safer at night when everyone is asleep..I should stop thinking and sleep myself, thanks for the playlist. I can smell the vanilla candle I blew out a while ago.. it’s already getting light outside. I’m scared moments like these are the only time I get to feel free
You’ll be fine. Takes time in big cities. 2 yrs isn’t that long! Start cooking
i relate to that last sentence so much. it hurts.
Currently sick rn, nothing serious but just feeling extra emotional at the time being. This brings me great comfort and joy, i feel a little bit better with this, thank you 🤧
One November night after all the normal people were in bed, I went walk through the snowfall. With the sky blotted out, the only light came from lampposts every half mile down the mainly unused road. With the soft new snow covering the ground, my footfalls were perfectly silent. The only sound was my rhythmic breathing and an almost undetectable movement of air through light snowfall. The blackness was so complete that I could not make out ground, sky, or horizon. Distance became indistinguishable. I was floating in deep space perfectly alone. I became aware that if I ceased to exist, I wouldn't know it. Although it is impossible for an existing consciousness to perceive non-existence, I had an experience that came close. Non-existence was, surprisingly, not negative. It was a transcendent, timeless freedom beyond even oneness with being. It took an act of will to turn back and walk home, as I was tempted to lie down in the snowy blackness and let the moment become everlasting.
