I still come back from time to time to access the medicine for the soul you shared here. Thank you brother, your contributions to inspiring our human family.
I listened to this song on repeat driving and hiking through the Smoky Mountains and on the beach of the Outer Banks watching a pod of dolphins play for about an hour. I’ve never felt so connected to the universe 🥰 thank you, Emancipator, for translating my awe to song!
I too had a similar experience. We were playing disc golf somewhere in the mountains and this song came on my Bluetooth speaker. I had to check my iPod and see who it was again!
Hey, I have never commented this but THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG EVER IN THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT HAS EVER BEEN CREATED. It’s been my number one song every year for the last, what, 4 years ?? Love this. Thank you thank you. This song has done so much for me
Thank you for coming out to Portland Music Video Fest. I loved hearing about the making of this and now want to go visit Timothy Lake. The video and music are beautiful!
Just a look at your channel, as I love this style of landscape photography/timelapses - absolutely beautiful stuff, and it really does fit perfectly with Emancipator’s music 😄🌱
If we are to ''make it'' out of this sickness we have blundered and stumbled into as a species...WE NEED BEAUTY, GRACE AND LOVE. This video is emblematic of how we can heal...a return to tribes...deeper connections in groups that creates trust, strength, love and a way to get through our suffering...the nuclear family is sick, capitalism is sick, living only to survive is sick....money is not real, the HIPPIES were RIGHT....
Yolngu Australian Aboriginal mythology, two djanggawul sisters and barnumbirr the creator spirit came from the ialand of Baralku. Cool story read into it.
"In Yolngu culture, Baralku (or Bralgu) is the island of the dead and the place where the Djanggawul originated.[1] It is said to lie to the east of Arnhem Land, and is where the Barnumbirr creator-spirit (who is identified as Venus) came from (see Aboriginal Astronomy) as she guided the Djanggawul sisters. Barnumbirr is also said to live on the island[2] and rises into the sky as Venus." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baralku "When Yolngu people die, they are taken by a mystical canoe, Larrpan, to the spirit-land (Baralku) in the sky, where you can see their camp-fires burning along the edge of the great river of the Milky Way." www.emudreaming.com/whatis.htm "The spirits return to Baralku when they die. Djankawa came in his canoe with his two sisters, following the morning star which guided them to the shores of Yelangbara on the eastern coast of Arnhem Land. They walked far across the country following the rain clouds. When they wanted water they plunged their digging stick into the ground and fresh water flowed. From them they learnt the names of all the creatures on the land and they taught descendants all their Law." www.janesoceania.com/australia_aboriginal_thefirst_boatpeople/index1.htm google is your friend.
‘Baralku’ is a mythological spirit island in the Milky Way upon which departed souls build fires to let their loved ones know they arrived safely in the afterlife. I was moved by the imagery of this concept as it relates to my life and the creative process. Music takes me to places, and each song is a spirit island on which its soul lives infinitely. To release a song is both a death and a birth at the same time. The sounds contained in each song have reached the end of their life process. The once shape-shifting collage of expression has been crystallized into a final form, no longer kinetic. Yet it exists in a state of permanent potential energy, waiting to be accessed in the form of music, just as the memory of a departed soul will always have the power to move us. - Doug Appling (Emancipator)
Thanks for coming out to San Diego fellas, loved it. Can't get enough so will be flying out to red rocks for the next one in May. Props to little people as well.
Today was the first time heard this song. I was wandering around Hoyt Arboretum hours with this album on repeat. Cool to see the music was inspired by the same scenery I found it in.
Wow. That was impressive. A lot of people can (or will) be critics positive or negative, but this is art and the artist's interpretation of what it is they want to portray. It needs nothing more than the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. But the storyline, apparel, and imagery/ cinematography, was beautiful and surreal. Of course the music is sublime. That fire and timelapse at the end is amazing (for all you flat-earthers :) Super cool video.
I found this story you told with images and an eloquent symphony of sounds to be very moving. I recognize your wisdom and presence from some past existence I shared with you and I would like to tell you I am grateful we crossed paths again Brother. Shine On.
Baralku, also written Burralku or Bralgu, is a place connected with creation ancestors in the mythology of the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is referred to as island of the dead, and the place where the ancestors known as Djanggawul (Djan'kawu) originated, before travelling by canoe to Yalangbara, where they gave birth to the Rirratjingu clan. Baralku is said to lie to the east of Arnhem Land and is where Barnumbirr the creator-spirit (represented by Venus, the Morning Star in Aboriginal astronomy) as she guided the Djanggawul sisters. Barnumbirr is also said to live on the island and rises into the sky as Venus. (en)
It's not for everyone. I saw emancipator live once and it was probably one of the craziest experiences I've ever had at a concert. Most people don't appreciate stuff like this
@@cumhugs i saw him live at backwoods in 2018. Fy first ever music fest and not just his set, but the entire event was beyond lifechanging for me! Emanci is a magnet that only attracts positivity and im so happy to have been apart of it all
All about interpretation of course. It's a funeral, yet with uplifting/light music. From what I got, it's not necessarily a sad day. The woman is crying for a bit when saying final goodbyes, but the music is kind of there to remind you that death is beautiful in it's own way -- death doesn't have to be scary/intense/sad. It can be as elegant, beautiful, and *light* as the music narrates it. That's my take on it at least -- Awesome stuffs Doug, loved it.
In Yolngu mythology, the Djanggawul are three siblings, two female and one male, who created the landscape of Australia and covered it with flora. They came from the island of Baralku. (Hence the name of the song, and album). The scene where they are in the desert was when they were planting the seeds for the lush forests and waters, where the two sisters later on then bid a final farewell to their brother. :-)

Don't be sad..... You'll see him again in a day or two when the wind blows him and the boat back onto the shore. Probably won't be looking or smelling too pretty though..... Think that's why you're suppose to catch the boat on fire.....Lmao....
I think you're right. However that wouldn't cremate the body. It would just barely char it. But I think the lighting the canoe on fire is part of the ceremony. Waste of a perfectly good canoe though (either way).
Big fan here... I think I know what you were going for here. But I'd be lying I said the video ain't cheesy af. I'm surprised how masterpieces like Ocelot are followed up with this. Nonetheless, keep up the great music. And please come to Toronto.
Careful, you're actually insulting the musician here, not the director. If you look closely at the credits, the concept belongs to emanc and two others he collaborated with. Looks like the director just made it look nice. I actually know her, and she's not a fine art director. She's actually a sports content director & producer, and she's far from run of the mill. ;)
Yeah, no disrespect to the people involved in making this. It honestly isn't bad. It's just sad when the video doesn't live up to the level of the music. That's all. Otherwise, the colorgrading and composition seem well thought out.
Usually if someone makes something that is SOOO good like ocelot or minor cause. The next thing probably wont be quite as good. Thats just the way it is.

Checked out Migos since I didn't know what the shit was about. Highly disappointed, basic shit of the most basic variety. I regret giving it 30 seconds of my time.
I believe it is referencing an Aboriginal Australian story. According to Wikipedia, Baralku is the island of the dead and where the creator spirit lives. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baralku

So under appreciated

She just breathed life into existence!
Emancipators' music is so breathtakingly beautiful that it leaves you speechless.
🎶💫💖🌟

Thanks Francisco! Very interesting stuff
Hmmm my soul feels peaceful and hopeful now. Thanks for sharing 🥰
OMG this is like a fusion of Anglo folk and Indigenous story-telling. WOW. That brings a whole new dimension.

They all have the sweetest smiles 😍
wow, what art. Hope to be there for your SF show at the regency. Thank you
Been enjoying Emancipator for years! This is one of my favorites..... everyone always ask me "what song is that?" Thanks for the amazing work!!!
It’s stunning 🥰 I heard it for the first time listening to Odesza’s Pandora station driving through the Smoky Mountains. I’ve been obsessed since.
Today was the first time heard this song. I was wandering around Hoyt Arboretum hours with this album on repeat. Cool to see the music was inspired by the same scenery I found it in.
I love emancipator 💪😁
You should see his sister.. ❤
i love him more doe.
Emancipator loves you

love emancipator forever
Still one of my favorites of all time
Beautiful … even STUNNING aesthetics
Walking down the aisle to this tomorrow to marry my love 🖤
That’s fucking awesome! Post the video of you guys walking down!! Emancipator fans will go nuts!!!!
This is an awesome video and the song is absolutely amazing!!!!
Can't wait for Electric Forest to hear Emancipator live
In today's crazy world... this is where I found my safe zone
Love it!
12k views.. while lil pump gets millions.. not fair. Real music deserves real appreciation
It's not for everyone. I saw emancipator live once and it was probably one of the craziest experiences I've ever had at a concert. Most people don't appreciate stuff like this
Lucid Beats I’m honestly not into those people, I don’t get why they are so good! 😒
The most precious of lifes offerings come in small packages my friend!
@@cumhugs i saw him live at backwoods in 2018. Fy first ever music fest and not just his set, but the entire event was beyond lifechanging for me! Emanci is a magnet that only attracts positivity and im so happy to have been apart of it all
It gets real appreciation... Those fad songs disappear 3 months after they are released.
Maravilloso!
Really beautiful! keep it up!
Observers of the divine.
I really enjoyed doing kundalini exercises with your music today.
It’s a very intimate connection with the music
Spiritual music ifc what the he’ll no one think . This is it
MAGNIFIQUE!!
CHE VIAGGIO!!!
Excellent
YEE!
Too underrated.
I'm guessing this was shot close to the Williamette Forest near Oakridge/Westfir Oregon?
I lived there and recognize some of the landscape.
Why did I ever leave Oregon?
Machinarium game vibes
Tak piękna muzyka, że się popłakałem ;(
SZOK - pierwszy raz w życiu
Brasil aqui!
Baraklu,,"📢 lovely sound's.☘️🤗
Not sure what it was about but I can dig it.
All about interpretation of course. It's a funeral, yet with uplifting/light music.

Lucid Baralku is the island of the dead.. I the video there’s a funeral.. actually the first comment explained it well(:
JUST GOOGLE THE WORD BARALKU AND THIS VIDEO MAKES SENSE. some of these comments are so dumb
ooooooooooooooo .. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
nice
Onde passo e planto minha semente
Gafanhotos nunca tomam de quem tem

the beginning be crunchy tho
they planted that forest together and now he's past. his queens then sent him out to sea :)
Blue gel🔷🔷material....
1:36 у него на нос чтота есть -_-
It's as if he took a folk song and put it through a computer
This might be the most new age thing I've seen in my entire life.
Don't be sad..... You'll see him again in a day or two when the wind blows him and the boat back onto the shore. Probably won't be looking or smelling too pretty though..... Think that's why you're suppose to catch the boat on fire.....Lmao....
I think you're right. However that wouldn't cremate the body. It would just barely char it. But I think the lighting the canoe on fire is part of the ceremony. Waste of a perfectly good canoe though (either way).
Big fan here...
I think I know what you were going for here. But I'd be lying I said the video ain't cheesy af. I'm surprised how masterpieces like Ocelot are followed up with this.

Lol no need to insult them. Taste is subjective.
The video is 100% liked right now at 86 votes. It obviously is well-received.
Usually if someone makes something that is SOOO good like ocelot or minor cause. The next thing probably wont be quite as good. Thats just the way it is.

I find this to actually be quite fitting for the song
Also MASSIVE fan here
The video is aight, but the music is nowhere near to what was there in the first two two-three albums...
Tim Fox I can agree but still way better than Seven Seas.
Aww man, this album is the best
This is their best song and album IMO
Migos called. They want their video for White T-shirt back.
Checked out Migos since I didn't know what the shit was about. Highly disappointed, basic shit of the most basic variety. I regret giving it 30 seconds of my time.
Are you dumb or stupid
why are there only Africans? ...makes me not want to buy the album
Probably couldn't afford to go to Australia to film and hire indigenous people there. Maybe they partially are
Good song... Terrible music video... It's weird and creepy
I believe it is referencing an Aboriginal Australian story. According to Wikipedia, Baralku is the island of the dead and where the creator spirit lives.
