That hit me different. Ever since mindfield I want to become a neuroscientist, next year I will probably attend a different high school and I will have greater chances for a successful career. Maybe I would never have gotten the motivation to educate myself in this way if it weren't for Micheal. I wish I could somehow give something back to him of what he gave me. His videos are still unmatched to date.
I love Vsauce, but I wish more people were talking about the actual music, here. Jake’s music is possibly 40% of what makes Vsauce videos so memorable. His work is astonishing.
Absolutely that's why I came to check it out. I love when a piece of art has amazing music, it makes everything so much richer and Jake's music is interesting while not overwhelming, I read a comment comparing a track of his to C418's Sweden (the Minecraft music) and it really fills a similar niche
Hey vsauce. Michael here. Every cloud has a silver lining. Except nuclear mushroom clouds. Which have a lining of strontium-90, caesium-137 and other nuclear isotopes.
Thank you internet for introducing me to this brilliant website called youtube that introduced me to this brilliant channel called vsauce that introduced me to this brilliant artist M'kay
Thank you computer for introducing me to the internet that introduced me to this website called TH-cam that introduced me to creating an account that introuced me to Vsauce which introduced me to this person called Jake Chudnow
The synths are pretty heavy. But aren't we synths as well? Look at it this way, we are just a complex make-up of many nano compartments called cells, no different from the nano chips we put in our machines today that enabled them to solve more complex problems, and with A.I and machine learning on the way, we are just a step away from becoming synth-creating, synths. And as always, thanks for watching.
17,012 Around november of 2019 a user by the name of MrMarmalad commented a number, that number was the amount of comments this video had. around that same time many others decided to comment the number of comments on many other Jake Chudnows videos, and now everyone just went along with it. Sometimes the numbers don't allign because replies to comments count as comments
The numbering wouldn't be bad if it was confined to a few comment reply threads, but at this point it has ruined the discussions on most Jake Chudnow tracks. It's no longer about the music, it's just about conforming to a trend.
Best song by Jake Chudnow. I sometimes feel nostalgia watching Vsauce videos now, I found his channel around when pandemic started. This song reminds me of long road trips I've had with my family.
17151 "i feel like this is a stand-in-queue symptom where you see a bunch of ppl in a queue, but you join them anyways, even if you don't know what are they waiting for "
You're not actually sitting in a chair. Because you never subatomically, quantumably, metaphysically touch atoms with other objects. You only think that, because your brain allows you to by simply "filling in the blank". This is michalub... from lub blub lub blu
Honestly mate you're just fucking amazing. I wouldnt be at all surprised if you end up being one of those contemporary artists that only begin their true fame years after their lifetime. Your work honestly gives off the vibe of a distant future, and is absolutely brilliant at invoking the most raw and most powerful forms of curiosity and excitement. Your stuff is a really work of art. Thank you.
Randomly got the main chords that is throughout the majority of the song stuck in my head the synth part, scrolled through over half of my liked videos just scrolling and clicking and found the song, still amazing I haven't heard it in years and years and it just popped up one day to find it all over again.
@@void3923 no I know. I’m saying that even if it’s the first time you’ve heard it, it sounds nostalgic. Just on its own. I know it’s from VSauce, that’s how I got here.
@@yahboi maybe it kind of gives a feeling, an emotion that you know, and can imagine how that would sound like. So, this music "Shona" also gives that feeling of that "life continues - you needa get up after falling down" so its nostalagic hehe
121917 - it's the week of February 14th 2022 and this the first time I've searched this song on TH-cam after having it on a Spotify Playlist for years. Thanks Michael for reminding me to come here. The illusion of time made me realize I'm doing a lot better than I give myself credit for sometimes. I love my dog and I love who I am. Life is good ❤💙💚
finally discovered an artist who seems to be an extension of my deep unconsciousness. Getting those chills, those heart bumps, those tears. Finally feeling connected as a human being and not just a binary soul. Life is beautiful, oh God yes it is.
How do you make music that invokes curiosity? I feel like its so easy to invoke happiness, sadness, fear... but curiosity is such an abstract, human emotion that it must be difficult, and Jake has mastered it. It makes you realise how little you really know, or how little anyone knows. 90% of the earth's species have yet to be discovered. We still have no idea how chemistry even became biology 4.3billion years ago. We have literally no idea what is going on - which is disorienting and panic inducing but also liberating. Jake's music embraces this feeling, inviting us to think about the unknown, giving it an awe inspiring but humbling experience. I just wanted to comment something fancy cuz others were doing it lol, music makes me feel like a philosopher
Honestly I think some of the reason you feel curiosity is due to suggestion/association with how you feel when watching vsauce. But also another reason, the structure of melodys can be made to sound like literal questions. The composer Hans zimmer says he likes to do that, by mimicking the inflection of how people speak. I guess that’s a good way to invoke curiosity. This song does this imo.
17181 I'm still learning about time signatures, can someone musically inclined help me out about this? I keep wondering if I'm falling into the "everything is 4/4 if you count wrongly enough" trap or if it's mostly 4/4 with extra half measures or dropped half measures?
Hey, Vsauce, Michael here. Or am I here? What is here? Is here this comment section, or my room I am writing from? You might have noticed my name does not have Michael in it. That is called deception. I said my name is Michael and that I am here, but I am neither. The right way would be, "Hey, comment section, Tomislav here, in this comment section, but also in my own room". And that is funny. As always, thanks for thumbing up.
Mr. Chudnow, you are a genius. This song feel so simple and yet it is deceptively complex. I actually had to listen to the whole thing counting out measures to understand what exactly you were doing with the form. At first glance, it seems like you're simpy giving us a [V-i-rel maj] structure, but firstly, you switch up how many measures of rel major we get. Sometimes it's V for 4 measures, i for 2 and rel-maj for 2, other times it's 4, 3, and 1 respectively. This gives us a very off-kilter and unpredictable structure to begin with. You then also switch things up and give us two times when you break this pattern, and give us [i rel-maj iv]. The whole piece is 20 cycles of 8 measures, an unusual number (or at least not divisible by 8). The pattern ended up being: [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 ------------------------------------ [i rel-maj iv] 4-3-1 [i rel-maj iv] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 ------------------------------------ [i rel-maj iv] 4-3-1 [i rel-maj iv] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 [V-i-rel maj] 4-3-1 [V-i-rel maj] 4-2-2 I don't know, I'm probably over thinking all this, but I love stuff like this. Again, on the surface, what feels simple actually has lots of complexity and elements that really set this (and your other pieces) apart from other music. This piece never gets boring, in part because of simple things like an off kilter and unpredictable structure. There are other elements, too, like your additions of 7ths, 9ths, and whatnot-but even something as simple as form is keeping this piece fresh and interesting and euphonic. Thank you!
@VengefulSpoon84 I don't know a ton, but I know he's talking about the chord progressions. And the five-one (aka V-i) is a very common one, but he's impressed by the lack of consistency when it came to changing up the chords.
@@meh855 But if we follow the rule of E=MC^2 we can calculate how much mass the energy of the soundwaves would be equivalent to. If we want to use the velocity in which those propagate, using E2=(Mc2)×(pc2)2 we could, as well, come to a satisfactory result (I guess lol)
it is such a pleasant experience to hear this song... it is so calm, yet so vibrant and agitated, like an incognito, you can't decipher it, yet it gives you energy and internal peace simultaneously to face life... tremendously beautiful art Jake, thank you
Hey, Vsauce, me here. But what is "here?" How do we differentiate between one place and the next, and why? Is such a differentiation even possible? Maybe there aren't any other places to differentiate ourselves from. Maybe where I am is all there is, and nothing else exists outside of it. But that's crazy... Or is it? Solipsism is a word from the Latin "solus," meaning alone, and "ipse," meaning self, and it refers to the concept that any reality that isn't in your head can't be proven to exist. Scary, right?
expect when the Atomic Structure of your Body is consumed by a ever increasing Vacuum Dacay Bubble which remodels the Fundamental Laws of Physics all together
Am I the only one that finds these music appropriate for that videos on you tube about people getting age. like Muhammad Ali Tribute | From 3 to 74 Years Old ect ect ect ..
Hey Jake, been following your work for a while now, ever since I first heard 'Going Down', your style of music coupled with your use of visuals is awesome. I was wondering if you or anyone in the chat could shed some light on the visual footage in your videos? Are all of the clips simply archived footage or do you generate some of them yourself? I'm particularly curious about the rays emitting from the Sun in this video. Thanks again for the jams
And the heavens opened up, not with a bang or with a whisper. The very atoms themselves shuddered and drew themselves closer and closer. Time and space had begun and it started with Hey Vsauce, Michael here.
recommendation: why you shouldn't fear death. im not, not anymore. not while listening to this piece of art, death is just a new adventure. and as always, thanks for reading.
face it, death is really fucking terrifying, nobody knows exactly what CAN happen. If you practice religion heavily, you might not have such a hard time with this, but oblivion will always be unknown until we do finally die
@@playr1077 you are not wrong sir. We all have our way of dealing with thoughts of what happens when we die. We have short lifes, that is what makes life so precious, valueble and special.
This gives you a perspective of how far we've come, but how little we've accomplished, although we've landed on the moon, sent robots to Mars, and gone as far to get a picture of Pluto, and even made a bomb that when detonated can blow at a temperature hotter then the surface of the Sun, but us humans are tiny, and nothing compared to what's beyond our little home, we commonly think we're big, strong, effective against the universe, and although we can change our planet, and we've accomplished that already, we have some much to discover, and so little time to discover them, and half the things we used to discover the things we've found, it''s only done a negative cause to society and Earth, it affects the sea life if it's oceanic discovery, it could rock the world if it's weapons, it can bring on life from Earth onto Mars' life if it has it even if we tried to prevent that, I know I'm getting off topic, but just, we mostly bring on negative affects while we bring on positive affects upon ourselves, technology, positive/negative for us, positive because we can learn information we didn't know before, negative because of our health is effected, and the damage it casts upon our world, I'm going off into different topics that are way off of topic from what I began with. Sorry for anyone reading, and this is way off of what this song is probably made off of, just, let me get to the point, some of us humans think we're immortal, important to the universe, or immortalized into history, but our whole time of being around is just a footnote in the Universe's life-time, something that won't last forever, our demise is yet to come, and the universe will bring it on, as a footnote in history, a foot-note that makes foot-notes that make foot-notes, nothing here is here to stay, sorry, I had to do something like this
I see what you mean by the issue of human destruction, but keep in mind we are the youngest species known on this planet, yet we have already surpassed nature and superceded the laws of basic primal emotion. What we've done in our few hundreds of thousands of years is unimaginable to anyone that would live in the past. Destruction and difficulty is an important part of the early cycles of any brilliant thing. The Earth itself was a living hell for billions of years, and now it is the beautiful and flawless home of everything we've ever known. In the past 50 years we have been progressing faster than ever with inventions not only to create utopian future of intergalactic empire, or ascend lower levels of consciousness to a point of omniscience, but also to turn back the clock on all the damage we have caused. If we play our cards right, which is what we most likely will do, then we will make an impact on the universe, no matter how long it might take. The human condition of constantly making our own problems and solving them ourselves is what brought us beyond the times of Neanderthals, and it is what will bring us all the way to the end of the universe, and possibly beyond. The greatest asset of our kind is our emotions and social behaviour, like music, language and philosophy, and we are bringing all of these assets to a point that will make our culture precious for millions of years to come, even if we die out now. Our human compassion has even led to an international law that no insterile human craft can ever make contact with an alien planet with the possibility of harbouring life. The idea that a single human life is worth nothing is not only unhealthy but incorrect. Even a person who never accomplishes anything has contributed to the miracle of the human species, and the photons emitted from that person will cary on exploring the universe for the rest of time. Rest assured, you mean something.
+SteaMonkey I see what you're coming from, no argument intended, Yes we humans are young, yes we humans are young, fairly young, and we have done some great things for our planet and for ourselves, but we could never follow our compassion, exploring outside our universe is impossible, once we do get the technology, it needs to be made on Mars at best, if we do colonize Mars that is. I know we did positive things, here, this is a things I will say to give you a clearer perspective from me of how we're so insignificant on a picture from Voyager 1 that showed a blue dot, that blue dot was Earth, here is what I got to say inspired by someone else saying something similar: "That blue dot is here, it's home, everyone you known, everyone who was born and everyone who died, every king and queen, every empire, every fool and genius, every evil deed and kind deed, every volcano, every sunrise and sunset, incredible inventions and terrible knock-offs, every rumor and every lie, every bomb, every nation, every rocket, every flag, every word written into history, every famous quote, everything we know came from a tiny blue marble suspended flying over 20,000 km every second, lost in space, leaving every human alive wondering, 'What is out there?'" And you, you have a great way of showing our positive ways, but the question lies in-front of us. "What will your move be?", and it could be in only a press of a button (nuclear war) or a rocket ignition (space exploration)

That would be a monument of great nostalgia.

I don't know, I'm probably over thinking all this, but I love stuff like this. Again, on the surface, what feels simple actually has lots of complexity and elements that really set this (and your other pieces) apart from other music. This piece never gets boring, in part because of simple things like an off kilter and unpredictable structure. There are other elements, too, like your additions of 7ths, 9ths, and whatnot-but even something as simple as form is keeping this piece fresh and interesting and euphonic. Thank you!
@VengefulSpoon84 I don't know a ton, but I know he's talking about the chord progressions. And the five-one (aka V-i) is a very common one, but he's impressed by the lack of consistency when it came to changing up the chords.

Thank you for letting us watch, Michael
*TO SUM THINGS UP* it all started when @MrMarmalad wrote the 3000th comment about 2 months ago
It feels like my whole life is passing towards me when i listen to Jake Chudnow
I always thought this was the somber aftermath of a loud and roaring party
Great, truly...
But how much would this song weight?
717001070
nothing since sound waves is energy, not matter -according to our current understanding on physics-
@@meh855 But if we follow the rule of E=MC^2 we can calculate how much mass the energy of the soundwaves would be equivalent to.
If we want to use the velocity in which those propagate, using E2=(Mc2)×(pc2)2 we could, as well, come to a satisfactory result (I guess lol)
it is such a pleasant experience to hear this song... it is so calm, yet so vibrant and agitated, like an incognito, you can't decipher it, yet it gives you energy and internal peace simultaneously to face life...
tremendously beautiful art Jake, thank you
Hey Vsauce, Michael here.

if you listen closely you can actually hear vsauce talking
Or is it?
Vsauce would like to *know your fingers' location*
What’s vsauce
@@uraid really? Search it up
some1 wow they have good vids I subbed
wow. that's like listening to The Imperial March and then asking "whats starwars?"
I've heard of imperial March but what is star wars?
I've listened to this song countless time on Vsauce videos but I never knew who was the composer. It's an amazing song, thank you very much
Whats that means with counting of numbers in comments?
Search If numbers were alphabetical by Vsauce
This song is great and all but, what if the Moon was a disco ball?
@Jefferson Joseph .... .com will tell you...
@@cdsbz3314 ... how to keep your dong reservoir wet ...
nice to listen to.
but is “listening” real or an illusion of vibrations?
Very fitting for a video showing 4.5 billion years in 1 hour.
damn finally I found this XD I wish Vsauce would actually link the song instead of just saying "by Jake Chudnow" lol
His channel is literally named "Jake Chudnow"
Hey, Vsauce, me here. But what is "here?" How do we differentiate between one place and the next, and why? Is such a differentiation even possible? Maybe there aren't any other places to differentiate ourselves from. Maybe where I am is all there is, and nothing else exists outside of it. But that's crazy... Or is it? Solipsism is a word from the Latin "solus," meaning alone, and "ipse," meaning self, and it refers to the concept that any reality that isn't in your head can't be proven to exist. Scary, right?
Or is it?
If you put one piece of bread on both north pole and south pole, you'll get sandwich made of everything.

the Vsauce guys have a good taste on music tbh
Can you perhaps delete this comment so you can post it on _Vsauce's_? -- No one likes to see one of the top comments be about someone else's channel.

I do
I like it
I fucking love it

I get strange melancholic, nostalgic and beautiful warm feeling from this music. Love it.

Thanks for letting V Sauce use this. it's always a pleasure.
Finally found it!!
or did I?
*vsauce music begins*
or did you say _did I_ ?
Am I the only one that finds these music videos just as amazing as the music itself?
Great work!
Not alone
Am I the only one that finds these music appropriate for that videos on you tube about people getting age. like Muhammad Ali Tribute | From 3 to 74 Years Old ect ect ect ..

Hey, Vsauce! Michael here.
Your home security is great.

Sent this to my mum, whos name is Shona.
She loved it.

sorry, old joke but couldn't resist... have a nice day!

But WHAT is a ...SONG...and how?
What does a song smell like?
But how much...does a song weigh?

It's amazing how this video is more than 4 years old and there are still people commenting frequently to this day.
'Cuse vsauce still makes videos.
Hey Jake, been following your work for a while now, ever since I first heard 'Going Down', your style of music coupled with your use of visuals is awesome.
I was wondering if you or anyone in the chat could shed some light on the visual footage in your videos?
Are all of the clips simply archived footage or do you generate some of them yourself? I'm particularly curious about the rays emitting from the Sun in this video.
Thanks again for the jams
+Alex Mobaraki All vids are in the description - mostly public domain / creative commons via the Internet Archive
+Jake Chudnow do you need/want your own visuals? I'm good at 90s tape visuals/animations. Can make you a demo if you want :D

it sure did.

recommendation: why you shouldn't fear death. im not, not anymore.
not while listening to this piece of art, death is just a new adventure.
and as always, thanks for reading.
face it, death is really fucking terrifying, nobody knows exactly what CAN happen. If you practice religion heavily, you might not have such a hard time with this, but oblivion will always be unknown until we do finally die
@@playr1077 you are not wrong sir.
We all have our way of dealing with thoughts of what happens when we die. We have short lifes, that is what makes life so precious, valueble and special.
I would value my life a lot more if I were immortal.
This is my existential crisis jam.
This gives you a perspective of how far we've come, but how little we've accomplished, although we've landed on the moon, sent robots to Mars, and gone as far to get a picture of Pluto, and even made a bomb that when detonated can blow at a temperature hotter then the surface of the Sun, but us humans are tiny, and nothing compared to what's beyond our little home, we commonly think we're big, strong, effective against the universe, and although we can change our planet, and we've accomplished that already, we have some much to discover, and so little time to discover them, and half the things we used to discover the things we've found, it''s only done a negative cause to society and Earth, it affects the sea life if it's oceanic discovery, it could rock the world if it's weapons, it can bring on life from Earth onto Mars' life if it has it even if we tried to prevent that, I know I'm getting off topic, but just, we mostly bring on negative affects while we bring on positive affects upon ourselves, technology, positive/negative for us, positive because we can learn information we didn't know before, negative because of our health is effected, and the damage it casts upon our world, I'm going off into different topics that are way off of topic from what I began with. Sorry for anyone reading, and this is way off of what this song is probably made off of, just, let me get to the point, some of us humans think we're immortal, important to the universe, or immortalized into history, but our whole time of being around is just a footnote in the Universe's life-time, something that won't last forever, our demise is yet to come, and the universe will bring it on, as a footnote in history, a foot-note that makes foot-notes that make foot-notes, nothing here is here to stay, sorry, I had to do something like this
I see what you mean by the issue of human destruction, but keep in mind we are the youngest species known on this planet, yet we have already surpassed nature and superceded the laws of basic primal emotion. What we've done in our few hundreds of thousands of years is unimaginable to anyone that would live in the past. Destruction and difficulty is an important part of the early cycles of any brilliant thing. The Earth itself was a living hell for billions of years, and now it is the beautiful and flawless home of everything we've ever known. In the past 50 years we have been progressing faster than ever with inventions not only to create utopian future of intergalactic empire, or ascend lower levels of consciousness to a point of omniscience, but also to turn back the clock on all the damage we have caused. If we play our cards right, which is what we most likely will do, then we will make an impact on the universe, no matter how long it might take. The human condition of constantly making our own problems and solving them ourselves is what brought us beyond the times of Neanderthals, and it is what will bring us all the way to the end of the universe, and possibly beyond. The greatest asset of our kind is our emotions and social behaviour, like music, language and philosophy, and we are bringing all of these assets to a point that will make our culture precious for millions of years to come, even if we die out now. Our human compassion has even led to an international law that no insterile human craft can ever make contact with an alien planet with the possibility of harbouring life. The idea that a single human life is worth nothing is not only unhealthy but incorrect. Even a person who never accomplishes anything has contributed to the miracle of the human species, and the photons emitted from that person will cary on exploring the universe for the rest of time.
Rest assured, you mean something.
+SteaMonkey
I see what you're coming from, no argument intended, Yes we humans are young, yes we humans are young, fairly young, and we have done some great things for our planet and for ourselves, but we could never follow our compassion, exploring outside our universe is impossible, once we do get the technology, it needs to be made on Mars at best, if we do colonize Mars that is.
I know we did positive things, here, this is a things I will say to give you a clearer perspective from me of how we're so insignificant on a picture from Voyager 1 that showed a blue dot, that blue dot was Earth, here is what I got to say inspired by someone else saying something similar:
"That blue dot is here, it's home, everyone you known, everyone who was born and everyone who died, every king and queen, every empire, every fool and genius, every evil deed and kind deed, every volcano, every sunrise and sunset, incredible inventions and terrible knock-offs, every rumor and every lie, every bomb, every nation, every rocket, every flag, every word written into history, every famous quote, everything we know came from a tiny blue marble suspended flying over 20,000 km every second, lost in space, leaving every human alive wondering, 'What is out there?'"
And you, you have a great way of showing our positive ways, but the question lies in-front of us. "What will your move be?", and it could be in only a press of a button (nuclear war) or a rocket ignition (space exploration)

And as always thanks for uploading
Well said. Yes. It is so interesting that certain type of music can induce certain thoughts

Atleast 50 000 views must come from me, playing this song over and over.
ikr
Udrakan Morturim, let's do the maths.
50000 views
5:31 Video length
50000 * 5.31 = 265500
265500/60 = 4425 Hours
Hours in a year: 8760
You sir have wasted over half a year watching this video according your estimation on amount of views of this video.
There is a mistake in your conclusion, it's the word "wasted".
Udrakan Morturim It should be "time well spent listening to this song"
It might sound like exageration, but It feels like I am growing psychicaly by listening to Jake Chudnow's songs.

Ok but seriously, I love this song. Any time I heard it in a Vsauce video I hoped it would play for a little longer. I never thought to search for it though. I’m so glad I found it, finally!
