They put so much detail. This type of music requires quality speakers or some good headphones. Definitely one of my favorite bands. What an amazing summary.
This crept inside my ears and worked it's way deep down into my soul. I didn't know who these guys were until about ten minutes ago, and about ten minutes ago I began to wonder just what in exactly the hell I've been doing with my life. Such a great find and a reminder to me as to why I love music so FUCKING MUCH.
Im a very rationally thinking person, but this music makes me question whether there is something greater. I know logically that the answer is no, but the fact there is music that can transcend the rational boundaries of my mind and make me question my very existence is an amazing feat. God is an Astronaut is great music for introspection and just a feeling of one with the cosmos. :)
When I first heard GiA I threw everything out of a window (metaphorically) I thought music was. It's highly subjective, but this, THIS is what I think real music is. This music truly emotionally satisfies me, though I'm not an emotional-kind of a guy. So I bow low to the gentlemen who made this astonishing an miracilous music.
If you are Christian, you believe God created us. And if God created us, than he pretty much has the right and ability to kill us whenever he wants. He is an all powerful being on another plane of existence. To him, we are just little origami things. If he feels our purpose is gone, into the fires we go.
I wasn't aware that the Bible said this world is going to be a place of peace. It actually says the opposite on many different occasions. It's a place where Satan is very present as well as pain, suffering, sadness, etc, which it confirms as well...
@NevinJarek We freakin humans for gods sake, we can listen to whatever the hell we like and as long as we like it it's fine. I love this band and no-one really should care what kind of taste the music is and how much talent it took to create it. If you like it you like it and if you don't you don't. There shouldn't be any in-depth thought as long as the creators made it because they liked it and not to make money.
Honestly, one of the best songs I've ever come across. Don't know what it is about this particular one but...definitely ranks up in the top 10, if not top 5, for me.
@randomusername27 Not a shame. As long as they remain unrecognized and ours, they'll never spawn a thousand band-clones. I think they're perfectly fine just where they are.
@NevinJarek Oh noble sir/madam, that was a very sweet reply, thank you. There are civilized people on youtube after all. I was just bored and grumpy and looking for something to rant about lol. You actually took the time to write an intelligent and understanding reply. Cheers! Hey, if you actually got through Wittgenstein i'm humbled. Keep shining your light on the world
I lied down on the floor, shut my eyes, and played this song through some really good noise-cancelling headphones. It felt like I was sinking ever deeper into a pool of sound, not noise, but sound. Pure Sound.
@vivelavidarocka Post usually means after an event (the opposite being Pre) so, to me anyway, it stands for after rock, or in other words the evolution of. Really it's name doesn't matter does it? The feelings/spiritualism of this type of music speaks for itself.
Who says you cant question it? Dont listen to zealot "christians" , you can question and discern all you you what and come to your own conclusion, but if you chose to believe in God there will be a place where you have to say I dont understand all this and faith will have to take its place. I personaly have had enough of my questions answered to choose to have faith/hope in what we call God and that He is loving. Thats what Jesus showed, would God suffer torture for people He doesnt care for?
I see your point but when you consider that God has infinite wisdom, He will do things that we as human with limited wisdom dont understand. But that is where faith comes in. God has said for us to have faith that He is ultimatly working everything out for a good and loving purpose. And then He gave us a sign of His love when he sent Jesus to suffer a viloent death, this is the "good news" of the gospels.
@NevinJarek Did you use the word "hobo" as an insult? For someone who seems intelligent and educated that's pretty shocking. Cuz i was homeless too, and i know what a tautology is and all the other freshman words you used, and i had friends who were absolutely brilliant, and yet homeless, abused, fucked up, mentally ill and addicted. So, not to go all pc on your ass, but just saying that it's a really ignorant insult, especially for someone who says things like "logical functionality".
@studiiamericane2 I wasn't suggesting it, darkeststreetx mentioned something along the lines if it. Maybe he's trolling or something. And I don't compare bands any more as a rule of thumb. I'm not starting a flame war, just putting my opinion there.
@ROy1849 is it? you can take the song as being about god - as i can say its about a near death experience or about an orgasm - but just because the band has 'GOD' in its name doesn't mean they are singing in any way about god...
@Grilasap That is all very true but there's no regognition or fame needed... The moment people start to realise that this music is superior, is the moment this music dies!! It is vital that music like this stays as 'low' as possible to avoid falling into the hands of the majority of this disgusting society... Those who have the ability to understand and appreciate these sounds are the ones worthy of it's presence... Most people today don't even bother to question the meaning of talent.
@ImpendingSerendipity They already do, minimalism is based on the idea that concentrating on a small idea can pronounce itself to a unique level not achievable through raw talent like Beethoven's. Thats why modern musicians usually cant write their own music, because its easier to achieve 'something' but doing a silly thing again and again until it feels spiritual rather than doing a monolith of creativity like they used to. Everyone can experience it, but can everyone say if it was worth?
@NevinJarek Haha i'm not going to read your fucking 6 part message dude. Seriously, i can respect that you don't like GIAA, that's your opinion. I bet there's a lot of people that they do not appeal to. Just as i do not like a7x, that is my opinion, they are generic and boring. But that does not mean that you have bad taste, it's merely a different taste. If this music can capture an emotion in my eyes, it is in good taste to me.
@NevinJarek No what i'm saying is that dialect is irrelevant in ethical issues. Ethical issues are about morals, which you don't go to school for. You don't have analyse ethical issues using knowledge :/ Gay marriage, did you really have to have a great amount of knowledge to figure out that it's ignorant to condemn it? Music on the other hand, you need specific knowledge to analyse. So saying that argumentative ability in music has a relation with ethics is absurd.
Sorry I understand completely that you're NOT telling me to like it. :P But the fact that you think that music should have certain qualities to make it good for "higher tastes" really is very arrogant. Just because you study music at a higher level doesn't mean you like these "higher tastes" now. You've seen qualities that you've studied which you now appreciate. you don't actually like them any better. A taste is per individual and I personally think it's arrogant to think there are levels...
@MoonrayDrake I agree, not really the essence of the song what so ever, still a bloody shame they couldn't have taken the time to spell the band name correctly, bit of a piss take in all respects
@NevinJarek And yes, the fact that you used the same word 4 times shows that your vocabulary isn't as big as you pretend it is. But that is neither here or there, the fact is that you music can't be in "bad taste" and music can't be measured by quantifiable elements. There is no bad taste in liking GIAA, no matter how boring the band is to you.
Anyway I think you two should stop this discussion. It's kinda getting off track. If you really want to continue do it via PM or something. That'll show whether or not you actually are interested in going any farther. And NevinJarek I don't mean anything harsh I'm just trying to express my opinion and each to their own, but this should really stop. Anyhow, I'm out of here.
@jurjenmolen ok got it. But since you and (your band members?) made the vid y'all KNOW what it means where as an outsider would not? Seeing that this is your band then just overlook my previous comments cause technically they are now not relevant cause this is your band. Good luck out there music is a universal language.
@Hoplite001 well, holland's worse, we only got some mainstream pop/rock bands. Nothing too great that's mainstream. America's got Paramore, Pearl Jam and a lot of great blues artists.
yeah i heard about their gear getting taken,bad buzz alright.going to see them live next month at oxygen festivel next month,cant wait,there class live
@mickmos bollocks, you have know idea what you're saying dude, you could not get two more differing bands.. muse are a pain in the ass most of the time anyway
Those are exactly the thoughts I get when I listen to this band, when I think about human potential and the things we have grown to understand over the centuries. If God made this world, he left a lot of secrets in it for us to find - and we've barely even scratched the surface.
Listened this when on DOM. It was like eternity, full of fractal-oriented lifes inside my mind, when it fact it wass only 5 minutes. It was the longest 5 minutes in my life.
I’ve tried DOM! :) While waiting on the 4 hour come up I was watching 8 simple rules and felt super connected to the emotions the actors were portraying, it was very emotional. Then I had about 6 hours psychedelic trip and the other 10 hours were more amphetamine like jitteriness. Dose was 3mg I believe. Would love to try DOB + DOC. I recommend 2c-e!
@randomusername27 stop blame yourself... if this band was truly recongnised they will be commercialized by one of big label.Now enojy that tihs band is known in a group of they fans ^^
@the ranters in the comments: Who gives a shit about analyzing a song and how it might fit in the grand scheme of all things (or of the music industries).

i went to see them live in dublin on sat night and this song blew me away,pure class

...Perfect name; great song!
The music from this incredible band makes me feel like the guy on the album cover

at first, i thought that the song from GiaA, forever lost was pretty. but this song is pretty too.
i'm fully relaxed now :-D

objective reason and subjective feelings are much different things. but yes, it's always humbling/awe-inspiring to feel transcended

Loving this song about to learn the guitar for a change of pace.
Same here, friend. Also try: Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mono, The American Dollar, Nevermind the Name, Clam's Casino, and Blue Sky Black Death (:
so beautiful.

They're from Texas and are a leading force in the Post Rock genre

there is no god. only oblivion, nothing, emptyness, void, nonexistense and that is comforting.

Underrated as fuck! This is Hit!

There is something heroic in the song after 4:00 for me
Fills mind and heart...
