I love how the melody in 6:04 is emphasized throughout the whole EP trilogy. idk why but these parts (this one, the first part of the song Heart and towards the end of sweet nothings) give me a feeling of resolution and whenever I'm listening to the EPs in one go, these small bits make the EPs sound like a bunch of musical stories with interrelation.
Dude, I'm like geeking out about these repeated melody lines Melody from 4:28 of Selenium Forest is the same as 4:57 of Cascade, it is so epic I think there are some other repeated melodies, I think I really wonder what stories his albums hold
@@figloalds yep. jakub zytecki is the one who wrote and recorded it, one of his finest solos. the note that he reaches with the bend at 5:19 gets me everytime, the song is in Eb major then suddenly goes back to Ab major and that note fits in both keys. insane transition
Man the drumming throughout this song is seriously amazing. Just actively listened to it. For sure the unsung/overlooked hero here. (In an overall great song with obviously great guitar-playing too)
@@joafus No way, he did too! Had to look it up. Glad I saw this comment, he's one of the best drummers there is. I'll have to listen through the EP again and listen to the drums.
I literally just found this guy today and I haven't stopped listening, soo sick. I can't get over how groovy it is. As a musician too, just figuring it all out is amazing. It's hard to explain, But I guess I was looking for music like this to listen to! Wierd rhythms, tunings and a damn good groove and flow! Keep it up Plini!
I just discovered these guys by Rick Beato doing a teaching video on how to count non 4/4 time. So glad I discovered this amazing group. I have been following prog rock for 50 years now. I think Plini and the others some here have mentioned have formed a different genre within prog rock. I can't describe it yet in my own mind as there are so many cool nuances. Plini keep up the great work for years to come. I am a hobbyist drummer and love this fellow's playing and choosing his drum parts. Wow. Just masterful stuff. All of it.
@@dreams7091 he might use elements of Djent, but can you really label him as just Djent. The bass features a lot in his melodies, but he rocks a 6 string, a lot of his songs play in 4/4, and even his Sunhead album (his darkest so far) is only in drop Db tuning. His Handmade Cities album is also, imo, way to bright to be classed as Djent. His influences include Periphery, but also the likes of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Guthrie Govan.
This is the pretty much my favourite piece of music. Discovering this EP two years ago has been one of the better things to happen to my way approaching composing.
@@Cotramjoxxx okay? it's a song, far more a song than most "songs" with vocals. His "best song of all time" comment is purely subjective anyway so there is no point in arguing that.
@Faust yo if you think that music with vocals are songs and instrumentals are pieces, you really need to understand how music works bro. It's the structure that makes a song, not the presence or lack of vocals. And this one has clearly demarcated song oriented structure, not an etude or piece based structure. Understand structural harmony dude.
I’m just now hearing this song and this bands songs for the first time today! I’ve been a bit down and struggling but I’m so glad I typed in this song and others ( literally been listening for 2 hours now...) They speak! This song somehow grabs hold of me and resonates within me in a loving way...WOW! The Lord gave these men a truly wonderful gift... I’m breathing in their gift and I’m thankful! Thanks to Rick Beato for sharing this talented gift on his channel! I didn’t need words today, I needed this! Blessings
You have lots to experience. I've listened to him since 2014 and still jam it out everyday! This song isn't actually all too hard once you get the flow of it! I use it as a warm up these days!
Listening to this music, beholding this video, is like a fond reminder of what magic we had in the old world, and how hard we must fight to save the new one...
I literally have all his albums on iTunes just playing in one big loop. Haven't listened to anything else for the past 6 weeks. First thing I listen to in the morning and the last I listen to at night. As much as his time signatures completely fuck me up at times, it has made me really think about timing and rhythm in music. On one side it's so fucking and stunningly melodic, and the other side, the timing makes you really think and works your brain. And I just love his meaty and clean tone. Totally renewed my already undying love for the guitar. Bravo, Plini. You magnificent fellow Aussie bastard!!
I think that you are already right there with Steve Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Govan and some more great guitarists that inspire us. And music doesn't get much better than this, as I read in another comment to your work, - of wich, sadly, I can't remember the author - but couldn't agree more. Thank you very much for the music!
Came here after hearing flaneur on the new EP had to decide which masterpiece was better. And tbh I still pick this song. The drumming and ambient section at 3:26 makes you feel like you're floating through a dream of good memories . Goosebumps Everytime I hear it .
If you don't think 5:23 is one of the best parts of song you're wrong! Lol I've never heard someone make a guitar sound more like it's crying it's beautiful. He truly speaks through his guitar.
That's actually not Plini playing though.. that's a guest solo from Jakub Zytecki. It's Jakub playing between 5:02 and 5:35. One of my all time favorite solos. Jakub is just amazing.
@@Indiegaze I knew Jakub, as well as Stephen Taranto and some other people had done guest work on other songs but not this one. That's awesome. Thanks for letting me know! I love Jakub's music.
Normaly i dont like Musik without voice. But here i very like to make an exception! These guys are very special. this music is so great and wonderful. thank you for sharing it with me/us!
Dale Kay - Marco wrote it and played it on the recordings, Troy Wright played it on this tour. The audio you hear in this video is the original audio from the album.
God, I remember listening to your old Halcyon demos from the Mike Portnoy forum years ago. Crazy to see how your skills have improved and evolved! You've inspired me to work on my own music, now more than ever. Thanks for the tunes, dude!
![Plini - Sweet Nothings [Full EP] HD 1080p](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uBvOW168NM8/mqdefault.jpg)
Still to this day, one of THE most epic songs he has ever created.
Took me like two years to get off the addiction, but I still indulge from time to time while being mindful of the dosage
not just epic, this is beautiful
HUGE Plini fan, own everything and listen to the band's music almost daily but this song just takes me to heaven and back EVERY FUCKING TIME.
I still think Electric Sunrise is his best song. I also like the Glass Bead Game a lot! This song goes hard too though
@@alaaentabi7879 fr, this shit is like crack and I can't stop listening.
heard this song like a thousand times. Still gives me chills
oh And when the Second part Begins. The Chill Bruh. 👊
i always replay the solo. so epic!
Zach Freeman I know right? it's a shame it doesnt look like Plini plays wombat astronaut that much in live shows
Zach Freeman e
Saw this man live. This song definitely got an encore. Hope he plays this next time i see him.
5:19 brings me to tears everytime
Saw him yesterday....this track gets me everytime
I physically hugged this Plini. Thanks bud
The same. And when I watch this video, I feel this humanity that emanes of him.
I love how the melody in 6:04 is emphasized throughout the whole EP trilogy. idk why but these parts (this one, the first part of the song Heart and towards the end of sweet nothings) give me a feeling of resolution and whenever I'm listening to the EPs in one go, these small bits make the EPs sound like a bunch of musical stories with interrelation.

Melody from 4:28 of Selenium Forest is the same as 4:57 of Cascade, it is so epic
I think there are some other repeated melodies, I think
I really wonder what stories his albums hold
Still gives me tears, it’s so good
Me too 😢
Song Structure For: Plini - Paper Moon:
(This is an experimental song, because of that, it doesn't have chorus or verse parts.)
0:00 - 0:13 Layer 1 riff (Section A) (İntro)
0:13 - 0:25 Layer 1 riff + Layer 2 lick (Section A)
0:25 - 0:37 Layer 3 riff (Section A)
0:37 - 0:49 Layer 3 riff + Layer 4 lick (Section A)
0:49 - 1:01 Layer 3 riff + Layer 5 (Section A)
1:01 - 1:13 Layer 1 riff + Layer 6 lick (Section A)
1:13 - 1:21 Layer 7 (Section A)
1:21 - 1:31 Layer 7 + Layer 8 (Section A)
1:31 - 1:42 Layer 5 + Bass Layer 9 (Section A)
1:42 - 1:54 Layer 10 (Section A)
1:54 - 2:06 Layer 11 (Section A)
2:06 - 2:19 Layer 1 riff + Layer 2 lick (Section A)
2:19 - 5:03 Layer 12 quiet slow chords and arpeggios (Section B)
5:03 - 6:57 Free guitar improv jam + orchestrated backing tracks (Section C)
6:57 - 7:13 Transition
7:13 - 7:47 Guitar solo (Section D)
7:47 - 8:33 Section A (Outro)
I don't think 5:03 is free improv, it sounds carefully designed to sound absolutely amazing.
@@figloalds yep. jakub zytecki is the one who wrote and recorded it, one of his finest solos. the note that he reaches with the bend at 5:19 gets me everytime, the song is in Eb major then suddenly goes back to Ab major and that note fits in both keys. insane transition
Imagine calling Jakub Zytecki's solo as free improv jam 🤣🤣 ROFL
Section A outro , despite how short it is, is epic .
Man the drumming throughout this song is seriously amazing. Just actively listened to it.
For sure the unsung/overlooked hero here.
(In an overall great song with obviously great guitar-playing too)
That's what I came here to see if anyone else commented on. Especially around 1:35
I mean... this whole EP was recorded by the one and only Marco Minneman. Of course it will have great drumming
@@joafus I have no idea who that is, so I'll definitely have to look him up.
@@joafus No way, he did too! Had to look it up. Glad I saw this comment, he's one of the best drummers there is. I'll have to listen through the EP again and listen to the drums.
5:02 makes this song for me. Chills every time!
It's what got me addicted
Jakub frickin Zytecki 🖤
i wish i could put this part of this song on my marriage, if i don't die before it
It sound so perfect!!
This is one of my favourite rock tracks of all time. I'm so glad I got to introduce my dad to it 💜
Whenever I hear Plini, it makes me grateful that I found this music, or that it found me. Thank you, TH-cam algorithm!
I wish more people appreciated this music.
looks like you guys are having a shit ton of fun just being around each other, and also making amazing music too. wish i had friends like that haha
Now I feel even more miserable, thank you
i wish i had friends haha
i wish i had skills haha
@@aritrobanerjee8024 chicks dig guys with great skills. Lol
@@rock.n.roll.patriarchy music is 10% talent and 90% practice. So, I'm sure you can make it.
One of the best progressive instrumental!
5:35 And Plini graces us with that familiar old lick again.
Paul Lee You know the 3 EPs were connected right? Even the ending of the Paper moon is the beginning of Heart from Other Things
man, everybody looks in awe so hard
@@mikemorada6290 th-cam.com/video/8waJzs9iDKM/w-d-xo.html
@@ryanhoole4227 yeah including the collab with sityu aye.
@@mikemorada6290 yea, I mean it really doesnt matter its dope as shit
Almost forgot what a masterpiece this is. That middle ambient section into the solo is still perfection so many years later.
missed that sort of music so much...finally these young guys give it back to us and take it to new levels. great.
Finally an older guy who appreciates this stuff! :)
Don't know why but the second half of this track gets so nostalgic! Brings all those high school and college days memories back!
True!
I literally just found this guy today and I haven't stopped listening, soo sick. I can't get over how groovy it is. As a musician too, just figuring it all out is amazing. It's hard to explain, But I guess I was looking for music like this to listen to! Wierd rhythms, tunings and a damn good groove and flow! Keep it up Plini!
check out Selenium Forest. my fav track right now.
Genre is either prog rock, or math rock. There is a lot of music like this, but none better than Plini. Groups like Chon come to mind.
Chon is sick too. I fucking love Chon. But I think Plini's music is more diverse and surprising when listening.
budderman321 its like drop d but the 2 lower strings dropped again a half so its EBGDG#C# Right? CMIIW
Owane is another really amazing musician, give him a listen, I doubt you'd be disappointed
Im ancient and picky at that but recently discovered this bands sound. Plini totally has "it". He's only just begun - fantastic.
simply beautiful
Digg your name eh
6:06 That Chick !
I love how 7:30 comes back in so many songs, it's like it's his theme
What other songs? Thanks!
3 EPS, the "things" trilogy
I hope he keeps doing it throughout
@@pter·o·dac·tyl I've noticed it in Cascade, this song, and Flaneur so far
@@musicdev Bruh, come on. Selenium Forest
1:21 The explosion into that sick riff after that amazing interlude is the best thing on Earth.
Followed by a sick bass solo 🔥 🔥 🔥
I'll forever lift my heart shaped hands to Plini with this song playing.
The second part of this song...I always forget how stunnigly beautiful it is
Just saw him play this live. Mind-blowing, life-changing experience

Check out Animals as Leaders!!!
That song made me cry... It's even hard to describe the feeling...So beautiful I can't deal with it...
The notes, the emotions in 7:32 are always extravagant!
I swear every time I play this song on guitar I get the biggest smile on my face
my pill, for calming my mind
video compliments an already amazing song. epic
This is the pretty much my favourite piece of music. Discovering this EP two years ago has been one of the better things to happen to my way approaching composing.
5:03 is my most favorite solo of all time!! and 7:47 made me remember count of tuscany entry riff for a fraction of a second :o !!
This is what celebrating your love of music sounds like.
cosmic, magic, stellar
Discovered it yesterday! From minute 6:57, I made it my ringtone...so I can hear it every day. Plini, thanks a lot.
Paper moon is probably the best song of all time
It's good but cmon pal...
In first place, this is not a song but an instrumental piece...
@@Cotramjoxxx okay? it's a song, far more a song than most "songs" with vocals. His "best song of all time" comment is purely subjective anyway so there is no point in arguing that.

This might be the most amazing thing I've ever heard. This is what celebration and sheer joy sounds like.
this is just...pure music. incredible
Thank you, Plini. You are the best, man.
3:36, Plini shares some of his magic with a lucky fan
My top 10 favorite Plini songs. Love the guy playing
I wish the first 2:30 of this was its own entire album. Some of the most amazing music I've heard in a really long time.
2022? nothing beats the lyrics so far..keep it up guys..
Oh man so good
Jeezus I never get tired of this song.
Three years later, I learn about Plini and am now addicted. I think this is my theme song for life right now.. Just wish it was easier to play... lol
You have lots to experience. I've listened to him since 2014 and still jam it out everyday! This song isn't actually all too hard once you get the flow of it! I use it as a warm up these days!
@@Drengur Actually yeah, it's getting easier and easier every day, surprisingly!
Can't describe how beautiful and powerful this song is. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
2:19 so calming and inspiring wooowww. Just epic.
incredible video.
I always see you on bandcamp.
+Patrick Riley cool! glad to see my album cover sticks in people's minds haha
Your Blink full album cover was amazing! :D
+Cats, Coffee & Guitars thanks
Still my favorite, all I have been listening this 2019
David Barajas yes sir everyday!!!!
I loved the drums as well!
Favorite Plini song ever. It's so good.
7:47 *chills... every... time*
RUSH fan since the days of yore...now a Plini fan!!! This is envelope-pushing guitar music ... and that drum work!!!
The first section feels like it's 10 minutes long at it's not even 3. This song is a portal to another dimension.
this is crazy beautiful
Listening to this music, beholding this video, is like a fond reminder of what magic we had in the old world, and how hard we must fight to save the new one...
Beautiful words.
I love this band, please more music like this. beautiful music

can't wait august 16th . Paris.
Man you'll be there too?

let's take a moment to appreciate how immense marco minnemann is on this EP.
jugaa jugaa is he drummer ? Wow . He’s taking me places
@@richarddeady6342 yes. He is incredible. Check out his work if you haven't.
His music makes me think of the stars
Beautiful.
Saw them in NYC. Life-changing concert.
Amazing stuff
Normaly i dont like Musik without voice. But here i very like to make an exception! These guys are very special. this music is so great and wonderful. thank you for sharing it with me/us!
Best chills ever. Wow.
7:45 - 8:00 this is how i want my life to sound like
Bruh.....
I saw plini live a couple years ago. Amazing show.
Marco Minnemann did some insane drumwriting for this song, its wonderfull!
So Marco wrote the drum part and this other guy plays it on recording and live?
Dale Kay - Marco wrote it and played it on the recordings, Troy Wright played it on this tour. The audio you hear in this video is the original audio from the album.
Sander had no idea it was Marco Minneman! No wonder the drumming is so tasty!
the metronome at the end always gets me
This is just.... It's the BEST music!
God, I remember listening to your old Halcyon demos from the Mike Portnoy forum years ago. Crazy to see how your skills have improved and evolved! You've inspired me to work on my own music, now more than ever. Thanks for the tunes, dude!
Morning coffee , Plini through my 200watt rig ahhhhh bliss :) keep writing fellas your inspirational music is infectious and humbling
After 5:10 I feel like tearing up for some reason..is it just me??
I will die by this.
Section starting at 2:25 is one of the most calming and beautiful sections ever written.
So beautiful!
this is just so nice...
So going to see you when you come to New York!!!
this is so majestic,,,,
troy wright is so amazing!
I got to talk to him for a few minutes in Greensboro, NC. Dude is pretty chill.
Love this song..
It's so good!!
Fantastic video. 👌👌👌👌
Plini, your existence makes me happy
Masterpiece.
I love this song, is the best song tha i've heard of the album
Saw them in Haarlem, Netherlands in the summer of 2018. Intense !
I love plini!
You re incredibly talented and you re music is full of emotion. Thank you.
Excellent video, and beautiful music. Hope to see you touring in Latin America soon. Best
