#Orbital #Halcyon
God bless the 90's
🙏🏻
God blessed the 90's
Amen!
Dressed like the 50's, though.
best decade of ever
Since I was a teen in the 90s, whenever I needed to get some piece of code done quickly...Halcyon has been the only track that got the job done for me. I have this track (or some Halcyon remix) on repeat sometimes for 16-18 hours straight... After a few minutes listening to it, I stop hearing the track and go into the zone and I write hundreds (sometimes thousands) of lines of code in one sitting; the best part is that when I'm in the Orbital zone, most of the code I write tend to be better written and require less time debugging. Thank you Orbital, I owe you guys my career in software, I couldn't have lasted in this industry this long without Halcyon.
I wish to be that great someday.
Powerful statement
just becareful for your wrist man im only 19 and have wrist pain from years of being on the comp for 10+ hours daily
Seems to disrupt the matrix of time!
This is my favourite comment of the year.
This video is starring Kirsty Hawkshaw who was the original singer of the sample used from Opus III "Its a Fine Day".
I am such a former drug addict and current stoner. Thank you for making that sample connection. I am really out of it at 37 haha.
I recognized her voice instantly. Don't know why though.
Its a fine day lada didada....
wow, looks like i knew :its a fine day: only by Dallas Superstars version
I'll just leave this here: th-cam.com/video/4vgcYBwyw28/w-d-xo.html
Watched Hackers last night. Made me feel old. I turned 22 four days before the film was released. Angela Jolie just turned 20. I was working at Grand Central Terminal the night they filmed the rollerblading scene.
A true cult classic
This went from being a kooky techno song to perhaps being, arguably, the most spiritual electronic song ever made by rearranging the same sounds and adding some incredible string arrangements.
If not the most, then at least second with _Unfinished Sympathy_ being #1
Thanks for the recommendation
they refined this and made it greater for sure
fully agree!
You're God damn right
Couldn't agree more ❤
What i love about this song, is that everytime I listen to it, it takes me on a Euphoric flashback to my amazing childhood in the 90s. They named this song "halcyon" as a reference to someone with a drug addiction to a drug of the same name, however "halcyon" literally means denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful. :)
It was actually their mom who was addicted and unfortunately passed. This song is dedicated to her memory.
And my god is it a wonderful memory.
The song has strong lullaby-esque overtones in its arrangement. Which heavily invoke the innocence and simplicity of early childhood.
@1lovesoni another weird thing about this song, as much as I love it, I've noticed it's the one and only song that makes me have seizures. Thing is, I love the feeling. Its incredibly Euphoric. It happens in the intro for me. It's like when they say "this song sent me somewhere else" and I'm like "no. Literally, I felt as tho I left this entire universe. The feeling is so intense, that sometimes I stop hearing the song entirely, even on full blast, theres a few moments of pure bliss where I literally can't hear, feel, or sense anything else.
I've had too stop listening to this in the car aswell. This is before I really knew what the song can do to me. I was in Nevada, driving home from work, when this amazing song came on shuffle. It was a pretty lonely drive through a mountainess area, the way the sunset was hitting it, it just looked beautiful. So I thought nothing of it, and just enjoyed the beautiful view with this beautiful song, then literally about 45 seconds into the song, I was making a sharp left turn and I felt this strange "whoa" like sensation and I felt this panicy like feeling tho also Euphoric. Before I knew it. I lost consciousness while making that turn. During the euphoria, I felt immense peace, my eyes were closed and the 1st sensation to return was this vibrating feeling going throughout my body. Then I started to feel the sensation of my hands touching the steering wheel, then thought, "what's going on, am i...Holy shit that's right, I'm driving! Wtf. I had literally forgotten I was even in a car, let alone operating it. Mind you, this whole time I'm going 45 mph. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't even on the road, I was on the dirt and seconds away from hitting a pole. I feel like I should be dead from this. I literally drove the car subconsciously because, despite not being conscience, I did infact complet the left turn, dodged traffic, rocks, cliffs, and ditches for a good minute. So long story short, this song is special to me, and I know to never listen to it in the car while driving again. Cause my gf drove a couple months later, and as passenger I tried listening to the song, and sure enough, I accidentally scared her because I was having a seizure withing 45 seconds of the song again. Idk why it happens with this song only, but I love it.
One last thing to add. I tried 🍄's to this on another occasion at home. and with that combination I experienced ego death for a few moments lol. 🤙
First time seeing this music video! Wow! What a trip!
I was born in 95 and my uncle introduced me to this song through mortal combat when I was young and I've held onto it ever since, it's a masterpiece I'll never be without it.
I was born in 92 my older brother bought mortal Kombat on vhs and boom here we are now 👏🏽
Exactly the same for me! Born in 95 and I watched the movie on VHS with my cousins when I was around 1
Wasn't this hackers not MK
88' born. i got MK on vhs as a stocking stuffer and those credits thoe.
@Mike Tatler Ending credits of MK for sure, not sure about Hackers.
Knowing the history of this song, and that their mother was on Halcion (Triazolam) and being heavily addicted to it, it really puts a huge pain in my heart.
Better benzos than alcohol or meth or heroin or gambling. Think about it that way.
I mean, harm reduction is probably most compatible with benzos. And what more could we possibly want aside from harm reduction...
@@MultiNatla better benzos??? They have some of the most horrific long lasting withdrawals, permanent cognitive impairment with sustained use and can cause death in cessation
Oh that explains it, thanks.
@@MultiNatlaalcohol is worse. Also math and heroin. Also benzo.
@@HKotolos yes. Better benzos.
Rest in peace my grandpa. You were perfect, thank you for your time and effort into my life. I'll always remember and miss you
: |
thank you beaucoup Guys, this music kills my sadness about my dying mom, I can't resist listening ... it eases my suffering and my anxiety. ..
Cordially.
🍀Gods have mercy🌈
May the Gods bless your mother and you.
Hope you’re doing ok. Godspeed
the exact same with my dad's loss. TH-cam recommended this song to me in 2020 when he was in a coma and died afterwards. Sending love❤
Just discovered this song a few months ago. How did I miss this in the 90s?
google iLLcyon
Hackers, Mean Girls and Mortal Kombat bought me here
Don't forget CKY
wrong song
Teen spirit brought me here
me too but only Mortal Kombat and Hackers
Hackers and mortal Kombat comes into mind when I hear this
This track changed my life .
Timeless melodic beautiful Halcyon ....
I love to wake people up after serious party with this song, it helps with hangover and gives wonderful mood :)
Man, wish i had such friends.
I heard this first in 92 at 14 almost 30 years later I never knew the song was about their mother, such a deep song, love it just as much now if not more, and Kirstys voice, an angel
Have you ever heard the original, by Jane & Barton... that Opus III covered?
i wasnt old enough to rave in the 90s but i have a feeling that at 1:34am mountain time, on the 30th of june in our year of the lord 1993, there was a heck of a banging rave happening because this stuff is deep in my soul.
Forgetting nostalgia and crap, this is still easily among the best of all times. If someone would release it today it probably wouldn't be as popular because of how saturated the electronic music scene is but it would certainly be acknowledged as something amazing and memorable.
I miss the 90s... This song echoes in the mind of my younger years... Didnt know then that theyd be some of the best times of my life...
@Mc Carthy agreed...
Absolutely! Take me back
Ah childhood memories like your first acid trip and subsequent mental breakdown followed by 3 months locked in a room only to emerge as a fully formed Chris Squire. Who could forget?
Me ether
This song is inspirational for me. Got me thru some turmoil. The melody popped in my head and the 1st search brought me straight here. Amen 🙏
Dun dun dun
Dah dun dun dun
Dah dun
Eee eee eee
In case you're wondering, The Plastics broke up.
Regina's spine healed, and her physical therapist taught her to channel all her rage into sports.
It was perfect because the jock girls weren't afraid of her.
Karen used her special talents to do the morning weather announcements
and Gretchen found herself a new clique and a new queen bee to serve.
Aaron went to Northwestern, so I still get to see him on weekends.
And me? I had gone from home-schooled jungle freak to shiny Plastic to most hated person in the world to actual human being.
All the drama from last year just wasn't important anymore.
School used to be like a shark tank, but now I could just float.
Finally, Girl World was at peace.
And if any freshmen tried to disturb that peace...
well, let's just say we knew how to take care of it ;-)
Dun dun dun dun dun

Eeee eeee eee
This is one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever created.
Inspired me to keep making music when I was a teen, no matter how dejected I got.
I'm 45 now and still love, and make electronic music.
oh the 90´s, sooo lucky and happy for being part of it
Seeing this performed live in 1999 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA was one of those life-changing concert experiences that I can’t fully express… so excited they are touring again!
I was born in 2000 but 80s-90s music is unmatched
Bro this is the most un-80s song ever, i know its before your time but get your facts straight this is more 2000s than 80s 😂
@@ahmedsarkhoh that’s why I mentioned 90s too dumbass lol
@@ahmedsarkhoh He said 80s AND 90s, genius. Yes, it's nothing like 80s music, but it's literally from the 90s. It's possible to like more than one genre.
@@cthulhurising666 my point is don’t mix things up, genius. Him mentioning 80s makes it seem relevant to the song. I won’t show up in a guns n roses video saying, heavy metal-french house is unmatched 😂
@@cthulhurising666 bro just likes to be condescending and project whatever he’s got going on inside , you can tell by such a comment like his lmfao like just the way he wrote that
I used to go to sleep to this album every night. Thank you Orbital.
Glastonbury 1995 best gig ever and I been to lots. That's what bought me here.
The full track touches an extremely rare level of evocative enlightenment that touches the soul for decades to follow.
*Lui looks out to his friends*
"Let's go home."
Just re-watched it, loved that ending.
Besides the fantastic music (I've been listening to this since it came out, and the Opus III original before that) the video itself is worth a praise. I think many who grew up in the late 70s, early 80s gets a funny nostalgic feeling watching this. Not quite a memory, as a vague dream of a memory perhaps. There was still housewives, our mothers tended the house and our dads earned money, there was a kind of utopia with new, cheap, synthetic materials, polyester, vinyl and nylon, all in bright colors, or rather garish, according to contemporary palates... Greens, reds, browns, orange and yellow.
I remember colorful, plastic drinking glasses, drapes with big bold flowers illuminating the kitchen, floral patterns in the vinyl floors, flower patterns on the wallpaper and caravan awnings in the summer where i bathed in red light. Everything was synthetic, maximalistic a sensory overload of colours and shapes.
It was like being burnt by the sun. I can only stomach minimalistic design and monochrome colours in my environment these days, but there is a nostalgic longing for days where everything was saturated beyond the natural....
I'd call that feeling "Fauxstalgia".
It takes me back to some time in the 90's, and reminds me of a place that I've never been to.
It's overcast, with dark grey clouds moving quickly across the sky. There's a steady breeze blowing and it's been raining. It isn't cold but I'm still wearing a warm jacket. I'm by myself on top of a grassy hill with trees sporadically dotted across the landscape as far as the eye can see.
I'm completely at peace, feeling like I'm at home.
@@pheargoth Fauxstalgia... great word!
sorry but Opus III wasn't the original. this was the original from 1983. th-cam.com/video/4vgcYBwyw28/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Pure LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️
Who else is here because they like Orbital and the song Halcyon?
You mean rather than being here because it was on a TV programme? Then yes.
Yes 😁😁
Exactly this o/
I’m here because i love commenting on the most obvious pointless comments on youtube videos
@@sub-jec-tiv If it garners a reply or someone to comment....was it pointless. After all the point was to get you to reply....and you did.
This is still the best wake-up tune I know ❤️
All I can hear in my head is Raiden saying, "I don't think so!" 🐉
Best club times in NYC 🥰
Great to see Orbital on Cardano Summit NFTs 👏
Always brings me back to when my Dad took me to go see Mortal Kombat. This song will always bring me joy.
Hackers... The movie of my life, the prodigy... Band of my life, and thiese madterpiece
YES!! I’VE been looking for this song for YEARS. Finally found it, now hopefully i don’t forget.
I forgor
This track was a tribute to the Hartnoll brother's mum who was on the drug Halcion. That is them in the photos at the kitchen sink.
Hm...
Yup. That's why it's beautiful, melancholic, uplifting, timeless, and very affecting.
@Wololo hacyon was taken off the market because it was also slight psychadelic. benzos are for people who have a mental illness. i am bipolar and have my arsenal. but that doesnt mean i abuse or even feel that when i take them. one which would be considered boring for the pill popping kiddies. is also a mood stabilizer. its the fake pills going around that have research chems that are the problem. and NEVER just quit if you do have an addiction. reduce you dose 10% every 10 days. but for people like me, who cant take ssris, antipsychotics, or a lot of the new drugs. sometimes the older ones work better. but if you dont need them, dont take them
@Jock McMerry It's mentioned in the text that shows up at the end of the video. "A hypnotic sleeping pill. Side effects include detachment and possible psychosis."
Lucky enough to see them in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. What a setting in the late August sunshine. Out ma tree.😅😅 Great Days.
as awesome in the past so awesome in the future magic
It is exciting to remember when I was 17 years old and was looking for a vhs tape to record the video clip on MTV. It is one of his best songs, and a masterpiece of British techno.
All hail the QUEEN of Trance KIRSTY HAWKSHAW😍😍😍
Kirsty Hawkshaw of opus 3 in the video. It’s her vocals they sampled from *its a fine day-opus 3. Also an amazing tune.
Eines der geilsten Titel überhaupt. Habs damal Anfang der neunziger glaub ich nachts auf Viva zum ersten mal gehört. Und geweint vor Freude weil es einfach sooo schön ist. Immer noch:))
This majestic song has always touched me since Hackers then Mortal Kombat... then I hit my 20s and mean girls care out and this played and I smiled.
Reminded my self this tune recently, great teenage memories, would gave all I have to go back in time...
Time less classic!!!
This Radio function is great
Mortal kombat always brings me back here🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽
Opus III used a sample from a Japanese Kleenex commercial from the 80s remember reading it in Mixmag when released early 90s
The music video for Orbital's "Halcyon On and On" is a beautiful and ethereal journey through the human psyche. The video begins with a shot of a young woman sitting alone in a dark room. She is clearly troubled, and her eyes are filled with sadness. As the music begins to play, we see her begin to dance. Her movements are slow and graceful, and they seem to be a way for her to express her inner turmoil.
As the video progresses, the woman's dance becomes more and more fluid. She begins to move in ways that seem impossible, and she seems to be floating on air. The music reaches a crescendo, and the woman's dance becomes a wild and frenzied expression of joy.
The video ends with the woman collapsing to the ground, exhausted but happy. She has finally found a way to release her inner demons, and she is now at peace.
The video can be interpreted in many different ways. Some people see it as a metaphor for the human journey of self-discovery. Others see it as a representation of the power of music to heal the soul. Still others see it as a simple celebration of the human spirit.
Whatever interpretation you choose, there is no doubt that the music video for "Halcyon On and On" is a powerful and moving work of art. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
Here are some additional thoughts on the music video:
* The use of color is very effective in creating a sense of mood and atmosphere. The dark and muted colors at the beginning of the video reflect the woman's sadness, while the bright and vibrant colors at the end of the video reflect her joy.
* The camera work is also very well done. The director uses a variety of shots and angles to create a sense of movement and fluidity. The woman's dance is often filmed in slow motion, which gives it a dreamlike quality.
* The music is, of course, the heart of the video. It is a beautiful and haunting piece that perfectly complements the visuals.
Overall, the music video for "Halcyon On and On" is a stunning work of art. It is a visual and auditory feast that will stay with you long after you have seen it.

This is the original version and is just called "Halcyon". The version most people are familiar with, is their longer version called "Halcyon On and On".
It's about his mother being addicted to Valium both the tune and video.
DAD mom's on acid doing the dishes again!
For years I thought the 9+ minute long remix was the original, but now having found this I think the original is much better!
Way better
This has a more eerie feel than the remix
Am I the only one who gets emotional listening to this
No you are not, and theres nothing to be ashamed either
This song been stuck in the corner of my mind since I first heard on mortal Kombat years ago,finally found it lol💪
Just proves techno is the best solvent for house cleaning 😂
Teen Spirit brought me here and just realized I heard this before on Mortal Kombat 1995. How time flies?
This is so dope
что видео,что музыка,шедевр!
I thought of the movie "Requiem for a Dream". The psychotic hallucinations she was having about her refrigerator.
Great stuff 😊
The best production EVER
Spotify just brought me this amazing song, love the genre👍🏼
Listening to this at the end of 2020.
Oh the memories...
agreed
138BPM definitely
God i love this song its literally perfect and so 90's takes me back
Какая жуть 🤭
Dang, this is so good
I dig this version!
This some be ol goo dah sheet mon 😎
Its a fine Day brough me here
I grew up listening to this song in the 90s and remember the music video vividly but could not for the life in me find the name or artist. I was just listening to an apex twin radio and this came up and I swear I died a little and then ran to search the songs video to confirm if i finally found it ! Will play on repeat now......
❤ SO FETCH ❤
I remember this... seen only a number of times when i was very small this video has always stood out to me throughout my early childhood for some unknown reason. To now rediscover and see this video after 20+ years gives me chills, I instantly remember the video after all that time. Crazy.
Doiiwn
Obra maestra. Grandes recuerdos.
Thank you for your work and time, Hummm so sweet 🙏🇧🇪
Beautiful!
CKY brought me here. Thanks Bam!
Halcyon is such a prayer…
Very good and absolut only amazing:))
We were all born in the right generation, where everything we grew up in is only a click away
Swifty Incredible warrior tricks 2
:D I got here from random youtube "mix", but instantly reminded me to that video from 2008.
YES- Leave It/ One down one to go another town and one more show. AAAAHHHH! Leave it!
短期作用のベンゾ系に共通した感覚を抜き出せている。どうやったらできるんだ。
This song is a deep psicodelic trip
Hackers and Mortal Kombat ❤
I’ve done amazing things while playing this song from cognitive/academic to the physical/Olympic hopeful; it really is a masterpiece that centers you or places you on a emotional journey
De school ❤️
Выжжены солнцем глаза
Я не встречал красоты без боли
Сожжены все мосты назад
Не создать красоту без порыва воли
Семьи создают детей своей любовью
Дети создают будущее, как волны в море
Так время течет - поколения шаг
Его невозможно отмотать назад
wie auch immer .. wunderschoenes Teilchen
Спасибо Шуссу с его подкастами за этот трек)
Saw these guys at the Electric Factory, Philly, 1998 I believe? Maybe 97. Awesome time. I miss those days so much.
Favourite tune of all time. Pretty sure the creators of this video were on some heavy shit.
Dun dun dun
Dah dun dun dun
Dah dun
Eee eee eee
Orbital brought me here.
I heard the remix from crystal castles and wanted to find the original
This is also a remix. The original song is ‘It’s a Fine day’ by Opus III
@@sean..L remix on remix)
Fun fact: Halcyon On And On is now Liu Kang's Theme!
yes!!!! AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR OVER 20 YEARS LOL
I never saw the movie, never heard the soundtrack. I only know this is a hell of a song
I'm a total fan of the hackers movie. Orbital is still cool in my book. I remember seeing them on the cover of "MixMag" in the early 2000s "We Don't Follow New Dance Trends". Awesome!
MORTAL KOMBAT ✊🎶👍❤💪🍀
Totally XD
Hackers
Flawless Victory!
The ending of Mortal Kombat the beginning of Hackers :D
not exactly, you need the + on + on version for that
