The calm surrender. The desire to release from the burdens that we don’t deserve to carry. A wish of peace and a prayer for comfort. Quiet, humble, and gentle. In the silence of the song I find serenity.
hahahah thats how it is man, same happens to me a lot, i just have to come back to certain songs, they find me one or another way, either i remember the song, or i find it somehow, somewhere either in youtube or my pendrives, old chats, etc

My Family once adopted an old english setter, that was found in the swiss alps and would‘ve put down otherwise. He spent 4 good years with us, until one day, when we were back in the italian alps (very close to where he was found) he walked out the gate of our house and never returned. He was a very quiet dog and he barked no farewell. We looked for him for days, the dogs lost his scent not far from the village. I hope, that this is how he died. Knowing his time had come, without fear, finding rest between the rocks and intense smelling herbs. This happened when I was a boy and I felt like I had failed him. This Video brought me to tears, but also „healed“ me. Rest easy Quintus, or whatever your real name was. You‘ll forever be our fifth!
This brought me to tears, it’s as if he returned to a place he’s always known. Many years ago I found a starving kitten, he had no tail, a ton of fleas(and tapeworms along with them). He likely would have died if we had not heard his meows in the backyard. We took him in, we washed him, and bought a litter box. We tried to give him a better life than he would have known outside. I was so glad we found him and got to care for him. He loved to go outside but he would return, I always feared something might happen to him. The winter of 2021 he went outside and shortly after it started snowing, I hoped he would come back due to the cold but he never did. The snow lasted for days and we usually don’t get any snow., I doubt he was expecting it. We waited and waited and he was still gone. I feel like I didn’t even get to say goodbye, he just disappeared one day and never came back. He’s the cat in my profile picture
I lost my dog Thor 9 months ago, i feel you bro....they are loving walking spirits. I even made one song while he was still alive...like hommage for dead pets...what the heck heres a link...i never loved one animal so much...may they find rest on eternal meadow.... th-cam.com/video/5i2vDxSR9m8/w-d-xo.html
Most animals prefer to die alone, its part of their nature. I am sure Quintus knew how loved he was. And I hope you and your family can live with love too, for the rest of your days.
For me, this song is about reconnecting with the present moment. The present moment is both life and death. It's not about loss, its about connection. In the video, the main character reconnects with Source. This wholesome bond is available to us all, at any point in time. Undoubtedly we've all felt it at one point, even if just in dream. May all beings find peace.
Watership Down is one of those films from my childhood that haunt me. There is something about those 70s/early 80s animations that got to the core of you and then just stuck. Paired with AFX, this couldn’t be better! The Last Unicorn and Fantastic Planet are others that still stick with me. Night, all!
Never watched the film but read the book in my later teens some time in the 80's. I draw rabbits. But this book and C.G Jung's, "Man and his symbols", are probably the two books that impacted me the most. Never heard this track but it reminds me of some of my last ex's and best friend's music. Julia Gjertsen if interested. Richard Adams also wrote "The Girl in the swing", that is a totally different thing but really good IMO. Take care
I have not seen this film yet but my favorite film ever also happens to be an 80s animated film called Night on the Galactic Railroad. Truly no other film or piece of media at all has done to me what that film did, it is so very important to me. That's my addition
Sad but beautiful.. Life can not continue without death I never thought about this song as something that sad, I was just imagining some peaceful autumn forest
the old past Human has to die, but when born again, Life is eternal, in Jesus Christ mighty Name. may god YHWH bless you and pull you to his son Yashuah, Amen !
Such a beautiful song, because of my older brother he turned me onto them as a teen. I love Aphex twin and I’m now 46 on almost 47 years old… unfortunately my brother and I are now estranged we don’t speak haven’t spoke in several years and it will never happen. it’s bittersweet because this movie was something that we watched so many times together and we shared Aphex twin in common so this really tugs at my heart and to my brother,… if for some reason you ever read this…. I’m sorry for everything and I love you and I miss you more than you will ever know.
I dont know what happened between you , but i really think you should left all behind. I dont know man, maybe this is just another commentary in a bad english, but life goes too fast. go after him
it’s a very long complicated story. That’s just hard to talk about without me crying. we had a really tough upbringing my brother and I and my brother and I we just went through a lot of things together especially as children . A lot of things have happened like I said it’s so hard to explain but I know for sure he doesn’t want anything to do with me and he never will and I just have had to learn to accept that these past several years. I’m just thankful that I have the good memories that we shared. Maybe one day he will want to talk to me, but I don’t foresee that happening anytime soon. It’s already been over 10 years… I don’t know how to find him. I don’t even know how to reach him or get in touch with him. But thank you. It means a lot in this lonely world. ❤
@@lalaslife6506 you can cry, then you face it. I can’t teach you, maybe send some stones away from your backpack if you know what I mean. Maybe he doesn’t want to be fined? Maybe one day he knocks your door? Know just you are not alone, never, your pain is wisdom. You got love, I’m struggling my own thoughts but il pray for you I promise.
Richard (Aphex Twin's real name) is the GOAT of making music. His songs can invoke different meanings and interpretations to people listening to this song. IMO, this song sounds like a lonely day. It can also sound like a slow ballad to dance with your loved ones with. Or it can also sound like your dad playing a lullaby to put you to sleep. Listening to this song made me cry because of how sad and calming this song is. Thank you, Richard, for making these good songs.
my dog that helped me get through my grieving of my grandma died 3 months ago and this song reminds me of her. my dog was the first pet i really connected with and me and her were best friends and this song always reminds me of her. Woke up at 3am to this song on shuffle along with other aphex twin songs and I just started bawling and couldn’t control myself. I’m usually the type to hide my emotions very well with people and I tend to cry about lost one’s months later but I just can’t move on. Crying right now as I’m typing this.
I understand shuffle Richard the same way you do, same hours, I got his logo tatoo at 16 I am now 36 dear friend I don’t know why I want you to know your loss is not exactly a loss, don’t be sad be peaceful thinking about your beautiful moments together, anyway we will learn what we have to learn here in this world, then that love you have in your heart will be recompensed just try to live even tho it’s hard. Thank you, it means a lot.
@@jackassir6060 Thank you for this video. I just finished reading _Watership Down_ last night. I had watched the movie when it first came out, many, many years ago, and when I was very young. I think I cried throughout and didn't understand it. I had always interpreted the title as an allegory for the end of the world, for apocalypse, the world being the Watership, and down meaning it had sunk or was lost. I had owned the novel for many years, always wanting to read it, but too frightened it would devastate me and leave me sad for a long time to come. This music video popped up in my feed about 5 months ago. I was moved to tears. I love this song very much, and the beautiful animation fit it perfectly. After finishing a book trilogy I was slogging through, I decided I would read this novel, finally, after putting it off for so many years, thanks to this video. I learned that Watership Down is an actual place. Though in some way, Hazel-rah, Fiver, Bigwig, Hlao-roo, Acorn, Dandelion, Silver, Holly, and the rest suffered an apocalypse, they also found through the combination of all of their talents, their camaraderie, temerity, and tenacity, they could survive the 1000 enemies, and find a new lovely life basking in the glory of Frith on Watership Down. _Watership Down_ is like a Greek heroes' tale. It reminded me in many ways of _Jason and the Argonauts_ or of Homer's _Illiad_ . It's simply one of the most gripping, beautiful novels I've ever read. The English countryside comes to life through every page. Never have I read of a more noble cast of characters, save, perhaps, in _Lord of the Rings_ . Their love and loyalty to one another, their reverence for the divine, and their own sacred hero, El-ahrairah, casts them in the most indelible, glowing light. They are mighty, yet fragile, daring, yet ephemeral, paragons of all that is noble, all that is good in life through friendship. For anyone who reads my humble comment, please read this masterpiece by Richard Adams. It's a true work of genius, and there are few other books like it.
This is my favorite song by Aphex Twin. In 2023, Spotify said that I listened to this song 377 times, without skipping. I hope other people get the same feeling as I do from this masterpiece.
I sometimes felt very strong sensations when I discovered it 2/3 years ago, but now everything is turned off in my mind. I encourage you never to touch drugs or vices, everything became black and white because of it for me.
This film is one of the darkest children’s films ever. Aphex Twin has produce some seriously dark music in the past. Putting these two together for this you tube vid. I can decide if its evil or genius
i love not only the composition but also the sound of this recording itself. the piano sounds very 'physical' and intimate, so up-close as if you put your head inside the resonance box lol
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a awhile. Not going to lie it made me tear up a bit. I've always been scared of death. The fact that this may be it frightens me. This song kinda helps with that thought.
Death is just the beginning my friend, make your days count for something and be good to others and you should never worry about where you end up next 💙 and yes I agree with the other comment! Long live the ramen guy!! The true hero of narutoverse 😂🍜
I listen to almost every genres of music & like many different instruments but i'm always down for slow atmospheric piano pieces anytime, regardless of my mood or what situation i'm in. Seeing this included in an album like Syro, really made me genuinely happy. Feels like being greeted with an unexpected warm hug at the end when you come back home amidst all the noises of everyday life :') It's like if Erik Satie or Brian Eno incorporated field recordings or nature sounds into their music. this track would be the main result
Guys don't lose hope, there is a better future upon you, you just gotta have hope and continue instead of giving up. I am an 22 year old who recently decided to make the big jump in my life and just traveled to other countries (while broke as s***). I'm now back in my hometown and have achieved things in a short while that I believed was impossible for me to even think of. Just hope that it stays that way :')
What a magnificent choice of video to combinate with Aisatsana... This could have been the official clip of it, the emotions are so increased. The passage at 02:32 is.. damn.
This track always puts my life to a peaceful yet confronting stop. Helps me to really revaluate where I’m at in this non stop life and think about all the people I truly love and care about . It’s a beautiful composition.
Richard makes wonderful music.... just amazing work with this piece of animation. This works so well! Could listen to this for hours and never get bored.
i just finished this movie, and i find it so incredibly touching that watership down is set in the english countryside. to see such a painful and dramatic story in a place so deeply associated with quiet and tranquility was an important reminder that hardship, joy, and beauty can be found anywhere.
This song feels like losing a loved one You feel scared , depressed and uncomfortable but you are happy and thankful too Because you remember the good times you had whit your loved one and because he can finaly rest
this music is so melancholic and beautiful, everytime i listen to it i feel like i'm dying without accomplishing the things i wanted in life but still feel peace and grateful for it all.
This song reminds me of the part of my childhood where I was still figuring out life. It was like the universe just opened up to me. Now I can't seem to get it back open.
everytime i hear this i always think of my college friends. I've been thinking about them for the past three years non stop. I miss them and felt I could never talk to them once college was over. I miss them and hope they're okay
Ambient music is hands down the most beautiful form of music & this is coming from someone who listens to extreme metal all day. This music is like meditation, it helps me connecting with my inner self.
Many things can be said from this video, but now I just want to say that it is an increadibly genius move from your part to put Aphex Twin's music (specially a theme like this) to a Watership Down segment (specially if it's THIS scene). Great video, bro.
to me this song is about the love we need and the love that is around us it's about how we live and breath how its apart of us always without fail and without caution it will always be there.
how it feels to take a walk in my garden embracing the soothing warmth of the sun after a 6 hours of revision for my additional mathematics exams next week. I have finally accepted the reality that theres not enough time to catch up for 2 years worth of syllabus in just a week.
@migueljara9399 hey I'm not sure if you still care but I got absolutely destroyed. But no matter, I shall not falter. I will work harder this time and not repeat the same mistakes. Have a nice day 💪
Im 25 years old, sad,alone and drinkijg ə smoking. Im glad i was here, i wish one day i'll listen to this magic again and apreciate as much as i do now
Wonderful combination of picture and sound, even if somebody says the melody is not about death. It`s about feeling, and thank you that you feel things this way
In Sanskrit, "satsanga" (सत्सङ्ग) is a compound word that combines "sat" (सत्), meaning "truth" or "good," and "sanga" (सङ्ग), meaning "association" or "company." Thus, "satsanga" refers to being in the company of the "highest truth," or in the company of people who seek truth, often used in spiritual contexts to denote gatherings for meditation, prayer, and discourse on philosophical or religious matters.
Bro, the title is a reference to Richard's wife, only spelled backwards. I don't get why people need to bring up some ancient spiritual teachings or religious philosophy, it's not that deep.
@tutubism You're absolutely right-"aisatsana" is "Anastasia" spelled backward, referencing Richard's wife. I just thought it was an interesting coincidence that it also resembles the Sanskrit word "satsanga," meaning "company of the truth" or a spiritual gathering. Given the meditative nature of this piece, I found that parallel intriguing and felt it added another layer to appreciate. Sometimes these unexpected connections can be fascinating. For example: "Schwarzschild" translates from German as "Black Shield," and the Schwarzschild radius defines the event horizon of a black hole. It's named after Karl Schwarzschild, who first described it mathematically. The Poynting vector describes the direction of energy flow in an electromagnetic field, and it's named after John Henry Poynting. I think looking for these spooky coincidences can be fun
This song tells us about the shortness of our days .I was there with him brother .He grabed me by my arm and whispered that my days are numbered just like his were
I lost the girl whom I loved more than year ago. The grief was too much at first but as time went on it became more and more bearable, now as if its guiding me, holding my hand or as a small fire inside of me.. reminding me of what once was and what I once felt. I will always love you
This is only a beggining of a great end. I hope to see myself with a great sight of creations and well beings that i brought into the world. The very end will be the last time you will ever experience anything that you did during this time, and for the first ever, i truly see life as something very valuable in this very moment. To all the people that dont wish to live upon anymore. Atleast be willing to dig through the ground of sorrow, atleast dig your grave with smooth corners, with space, with decoration, and dignity. Every person has a story to share, weather they are infront of you, beside you, near you, under you, far away from you, or passed away from you. The dirt that seperates the lively and the unlively is thin, thinner than air itself. There is no need for you to leave so early, because life has barely begun. Yet it is so close to end..
I remember when Syro was first released. It took a while for its quality to really shine as It felt so different from previous releases. I knew Asiatsana was going to be a classic bit of RDJ piano music right from the beginning though. It’s it’s like looking out at a museums courtyard during a grey cloudy day.
@@negativecreep44 I miss my cat too....I'm sure your cat had a happy life, hopefully one day we can all see the ones we lost....if not, we'll still be together in the same place.
I’ve always wondered how things happen, why they happen, and most importantly, how? I mean seriously how do we really know what is going on? How did we end up knowing certain people at certain times? Why do we do the things we love and hate? I’ll never know. I’ll also never know how she felt about me. I knew this girl for at least 9 years and one day my family decided to move for about a year to a different state. During that whole year I didn’t even think about her once because we were only just friends because our parents were friends. We knew them so much to the point where they were considered family. This year me and her family went to go camping for about 5 days. On our way to the camp site I got to get a ride from her, just me and her and her 2 dogs. The car ride was 2 hours and we talked a lot. And I mean a lot, but we had so much things in common that we loved. And this was one or if the only time we’ve ever really been alone together. We had a lot of fun camping together. She even let me use her glasses, in fact she put them on me. After the camping trip we went back to her parents house and I recommended some shows to watch, because she was on Netflix and wanted to watch a different show. I said breaking bad . In my opinion is the best show ever. 30 minutes later my mom picked me up so I could go home. Once I got home I felt something between us. Idk how to explain it though. At least I got her number and insta. Even tho she has ghosted me for 70 days 🫡

I learned that Watership Down is an actual place. Though in some way, Hazel-rah, Fiver, Bigwig, Hlao-roo, Acorn, Dandelion, Silver, Holly, and the rest suffered an apocalypse, they also found through the combination of all of their talents, their camaraderie, temerity, and tenacity, they could survive the 1000 enemies, and find a new lovely life basking in the glory of Frith on Watership Down.
_Watership Down_ is like a Greek heroes' tale. It reminded me in many ways of _Jason and the Argonauts_ or of Homer's _Illiad_ . It's simply one of the most gripping, beautiful novels I've ever read. The English countryside comes to life through every page. Never have I read of a more noble cast of characters, save, perhaps, in _Lord of the Rings_ . Their love and loyalty to one another, their reverence for the divine, and their own sacred hero, El-ahrairah, casts them in the most indelible, glowing light. They are mighty, yet fragile, daring, yet ephemeral, paragons of all that is noble, all that is good in life through friendship.
For anyone who reads my humble comment, please read this masterpiece by Richard Adams. It's a true work of genius, and there are few other books like it.
@@jasonuerkvitz3756 thank you for the recommendation, I will update my comment when I'm done reading it
This is my favorite song by Aphex Twin. In 2023, Spotify said that I listened to this song 377 times, without skipping. I hope other people get the same feeling as I do from this masterpiece.
Yeah, this song is dope, better to use headphones though
I sometimes felt very strong sensations when I discovered it 2/3 years ago, but now everything is turned off in my mind. I encourage you never to touch drugs or vices, everything became black and white because of it for me.
This film is one of the darkest children’s films ever.
Aphex Twin has produce some seriously dark music in the past.
Putting these two together for this you tube vid. I can decide if its evil or genius
It’s comforting yet sad,it makes you think deeply about life and death.
i love not only the composition but also the sound of this recording itself. the piano sounds very 'physical' and intimate, so up-close as if you put your head inside the resonance box lol
Such a beautiful song. It’s pure innocence and love.
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a awhile. Not going to lie it made me tear up a bit. I've always been scared of death. The fact that this may be it frightens me. This song kinda helps with that thought.
Great profile picture and name, brings back many childhood memories.
@@stasiasfriend Aw im glad you like it. Anime has always been my escape from reality. I think we all need an escape Sometimes.
Death is just the beginning my friend, make your days count for something and be good to others and you should never worry about where you end up next 💙 and yes I agree with the other comment! Long live the ramen guy!! The true hero of narutoverse 😂🍜
I listen to almost every genres of music & like many different instruments but i'm always down for slow atmospheric piano pieces anytime, regardless of my mood or what situation i'm in.
Seeing this included in an album like Syro, really made me genuinely happy. Feels like being greeted with an unexpected warm hug at the end when you come back home amidst all the noises of everyday life :')
It's like if Erik Satie or Brian Eno incorporated field recordings or nature sounds into their music. this track would be the main result
I never knew there could be a video for this song. Absolute perfection.
Aphex Twin's music is the only one that has made me genuinely cry, and without a word, incredible.
You know you've lost everything, when all you have left to lose is yourself
That’s the exact moment when you also have everything to gain. Life is one intricate paradox
@@percival8193wonderful
And yet you still have not lost yourself
And that is the only thing you cant lose.
Guys don't lose hope, there is a better future upon you, you just gotta have hope and continue instead of giving up. I am an 22 year old who recently decided to make the big jump in my life and just traveled to other countries (while broke as s***). I'm now back in my hometown and have achieved things in a short while that I believed was impossible for me to even think of. Just hope that it stays that way :')
There's so much beauty to see in this world ❤️
What a magnificent choice of video to combinate with Aisatsana... This could have been the official clip of it, the emotions are so increased. The passage at 02:32 is.. damn.
This track always puts my life to a peaceful yet confronting stop. Helps me to really revaluate where I’m at in this non stop life and think about all the people I truly love and care about . It’s a beautiful composition.
My dad passed away August 17th 2024.
A doe was looking into his house the day after. I have the picture and it makes me think about this sound.
really beautiful choice of video to accompany this
Richard makes wonderful music.... just amazing work with this piece of animation. This works so well! Could listen to this for hours and never get bored.
The Animation is from Watership down. Wonderful movie 😎
i just finished this movie, and i find it so incredibly touching that watership down is set in the english countryside. to see such a painful and dramatic story in a place so deeply associated with quiet and tranquility was an important reminder that hardship, joy, and beauty can be found anywhere.
Very comforting music.
Ein Meisterwerk
This song feels like losing a loved one
You feel scared , depressed and uncomfortable but you are happy and thankful too
Because you remember the good times you had whit your loved one and because he can finaly rest
I hope you’re at peace with whom you’ve lost, my thoughts are with you ❤️
this music is so melancholic and beautiful, everytime i listen to it i feel like i'm dying without accomplishing the things i wanted in life but still feel peace and grateful for it all.
Great pic for visuals. Read the book in 5th grade. Stayed with me my whole life.
Yeah, it’s definitely something that stays with you. This is perfect.
THE FACT YOU CAN HEAR HIS FINGERS ON THE KEYS MAKES ME CRY BRO HE IS THE BEST FOR LIFE
one day we will all live in peace....
In Jesus name bro, AmenAmenAmen.. May God bless u and keep u at peace❤❤❤
This song reminds me of the part of my childhood where I was still figuring out life. It was like the universe just opened up to me. Now I can't seem to get it back open.
Watership Down ❤
My favourite book 🐇🐇
@@CHodgyThe show and movie too!
Maybe I watched it too young (in my teens), but man it was hard to watch. Maybe I will give it another go now that I am a bit older.
everytime i hear this i always think of my college friends. I've been thinking about them for the past three years non stop. I miss them and felt I could never talk to them once college was over. I miss them and hope they're okay
This video helped me discover Watership Down one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in my life. Thank you.
Ambient music is hands down the most beautiful form of music & this is coming from someone who listens to extreme metal all day. This music is like meditation, it helps me connecting with my inner self.
shed a single tear listening to this, not sure what the emotion behind it was... what a beautiful piece
Many things can be said from this video, but now I just want to say that it is an increadibly genius move from your part to put Aphex Twin's music (specially a theme like this) to a Watership Down segment (specially if it's THIS scene). Great video, bro.
to me this song is about the love we need and the love that is around us it's about how we live and breath how its apart of us always without fail and without caution it will always be there.
Will you come to me,
In your dreaming, dead?
Will you find me, lone,
Ember fading from red?
With little hope to be her spark for the kindling
how it feels to take a walk in my garden embracing the soothing warmth of the sun after a 6 hours of revision for my additional mathematics exams next week. I have finally accepted the reality that theres not enough time to catch up for 2 years worth of syllabus in just a week.
Please tell us how your exam went
@migueljara9399 hey I'm not sure if you still care but I got absolutely destroyed. But no matter, I shall not falter. I will work harder this time and not repeat the same mistakes. Have a nice day 💪
I watch this when I feel like I'm panicking and it resets my nervous system. God bless Aphex Twin.
saddest thing ive seen in a while...
Im 25 years old, sad,alone and drinkijg ə smoking. Im glad i was here, i wish one day i'll listen to this magic again and apreciate as much as i do now
🙏❤
this song feels like a hug to me, i love it
Wonderful combination of picture and sound, even if somebody says the melody is not about death. It`s about feeling, and thank you that you feel things this way
This is one of the best songs i ever listened. This feeling of peace makes me cry.
I dont know if i will be able to feel myself complete after so long... But sometimes, i wish...
In Sanskrit, "satsanga" (सत्सङ्ग) is a compound word that combines "sat" (सत्), meaning "truth" or "good," and "sanga" (सङ्ग), meaning "association" or "company." Thus, "satsanga" refers to being in the company of the "highest truth," or in the company of people who seek truth, often used in spiritual contexts to denote gatherings for meditation, prayer, and discourse on philosophical or religious matters.
Bro, the title is a reference to Richard's wife, only spelled backwards. I don't get why people need to bring up some ancient spiritual teachings or religious philosophy, it's not that deep.
@tutubism You're absolutely right-"aisatsana" is "Anastasia" spelled backward, referencing Richard's wife. I just thought it was an interesting coincidence that it also resembles the Sanskrit word "satsanga," meaning "company of the truth" or a spiritual gathering. Given the meditative nature of this piece, I found that parallel intriguing and felt it added another layer to appreciate.
Sometimes these unexpected connections can be fascinating. For example:
"Schwarzschild" translates from German as "Black Shield," and the Schwarzschild radius defines the event horizon of a black hole. It's named after Karl Schwarzschild, who first described it mathematically.
The Poynting vector describes the direction of energy flow in an electromagnetic field, and it's named after John Henry Poynting.
I think looking for these spooky coincidences can be fun
@@codybevan300 chatgpt cord woke up
Damn it Richard, you are one evil genious.
Perfect song for this last scene of Watership Down.
The wren and the blackbird singing in the background, this was beautiful and sad at the same time♥️
This song tells us about the shortness of our days .I was there with him brother .He grabed me by my arm and whispered that my days are numbered just like his were
I lost the girl whom I loved more than year ago. The grief was too much at first but as time went on it became more and more bearable, now as if its guiding me, holding my hand or as a small fire inside of me.. reminding me of what once was and what I once felt. I will always love you
Just listened to this song and ended up being late for work, it’s to good..
Pierces the soul.
I’ve been depressed all day and this hit me like a ton of bricks. Can’t stop crying. Feels good to finally let it out.
I’ve been depressed too
Watership down... What a great movie it is..
это так успокаивает, спасибо Aphex Twin
energy becomes everything
This is only a beggining of a great end. I hope to see myself with a great sight of creations and well beings that i brought into the world. The very end will be the last time you will ever experience anything that you did during this time, and for the first ever, i truly see life as something very valuable in this very moment. To all the people that dont wish to live upon anymore. Atleast be willing to dig through the ground of sorrow, atleast dig your grave with smooth corners, with space, with decoration, and dignity. Every person has a story to share, weather they are infront of you, beside you, near you, under you, far away from you, or passed away from you. The dirt that seperates the lively and the unlively is thin, thinner than air itself. There is no need for you to leave so early, because life has barely begun. Yet it is so close to end..
I remember when Syro was first released. It took a while for its quality to really shine as It felt so different from previous releases. I knew Asiatsana was going to be a classic bit of RDJ piano music right from the beginning though.
It’s it’s like looking out at a museums courtyard during a grey cloudy day.
"The Space in Between the Notes...."
This is my favorite part of TH-cam
Sometimes I feel like the lone bunny. Just watching everyone around me thrive and here I am sitting alone disconnected from just about everyone.
this video is beautiful thank you.
This concluding sequence is the most beautiful part of the film. The music is very apposite for it.
man this song gives me chills when i THINK about it. I wish i could love and be loved as deeply as this song is beautiful...
True
You must love yourself first.
"the fields are filling with blood" -Fiver
This made me cry the second time I watched it
This video was suggested to me a year ago when my cat Lilly died. The song, the video... it can't be a coincidence.
I miss her so much
@@negativecreep44 I miss my cat too....I'm sure your cat had a happy life, hopefully one day we can all see the ones we lost....if not, we'll still be together in the same place.
Watership Down..Beautiful animated movie from the 80s🙂..Goes well with Aphex👍
wow, that's magic. I like this very much
Rabbits dance over their dead in a similar way to how the spirit moves
My two favorite things in one video
This song makes me thing of the film ‘Her’
Hermosa! La felicidad de estar triste.
This song makes me want to reflect on my life.
Really makes you think
this makes me cry
This mixed with the watership down final scene 😭
Love yourself, you really need this.. really.
When I eventually leave this realm, all I ask for at my funeral is for my coffin to swing like a pendulum across the alter as this song plays.
such a deadly combo
I really liked this video
one day i hope to find someone to listen ti these songs with. quietly in each others arms
I remember this .... I remember us ..... I remember people ...... I remember all.
For Mydely... Forever.
We're here and gone like a vapor.
Watership Down, an animated movie not suitable for children. But poetic and dramatic.
Take me instead Lord not my mother and sister take my remaining days and give it to them Im sorry Lord but I cant live without my father anymore.
*sentimental comment*
I’ve always wondered how things happen, why they happen, and most importantly, how? I mean seriously how do we really know what is going on? How did we end up knowing certain people at certain times? Why do we do the things we love and hate? I’ll never know. I’ll also never know how she felt about me. I knew this girl for at least 9 years and one day my family decided to move for about a year to a different state. During that whole year I didn’t even think about her once because we were only just friends because our parents were friends. We knew them so much to the point where they were considered family. This year me and her family went to go camping for about 5 days. On our way to the camp site I got to get a ride from her, just me and her and her 2 dogs. The car ride was 2 hours and we talked a lot. And I mean a lot, but we had so much things in common that we loved. And this was one or if the only time we’ve ever really been alone together. We had a lot of fun camping together. She even let me use her glasses, in fact she put them on me. After the camping trip we went back to her parents house and I recommended some shows to watch, because she was on Netflix and wanted to watch a different show. I said breaking bad . In my opinion is the best show ever. 30 minutes later my mom picked me up so I could go home. Once I got home I felt something between us. Idk how to explain it though. At least I got her number and insta. Even tho she has ghosted me for 70 days 🫡
