Some thought farts: Its interesting, when we say things like "life is ultimately meaningless", in order to say that, the person has to take in several information, and from that make logical deduction whatever they think is 'evidence' in order to conclude that. All this conclusion of meaninglessness derived from our brain, which has 90 billion neurons, to store and process information. You might think its 'cruel' to have a brain capable of processing info and yet everything turn out to be meaningless, yet even cruel is a conclusion, a meaning we deduce from what we experience. Science tell us the brain allow pain in the body when things hurt us, to tell us something needs to be healed. If we are capable of feeling "sad" thinking about how meaningless life is, its kind of funny, because if it really is meaningless, joy, happiness sadness are all obsolete, we won't even deduce anything. Yet it is perhaps more safe and comforting to see everything is meaninglessness, it hurts less when things don't go our way, yet are we really living?
Interesting perspective of emotions. if you have a strong foundation from your parents, It's likely that most of your beliefs and convictions have obviously the strongest influence in your game plan, and mentality. I am an individual who doesn't really like to contemplate areas like this. In my eyes, It's like I am always having to be careful with my time. If I don't have great interest in something I try to avoid it, and when I do; I become obsessed about it, I discover everything that I can think of it, take all the juice and move on. Weird research tendencies. Premium nurture. What you said sounded in my head just like stoicism, a great philosophy of leadership. "Stoicism teaches us that, before we try to control events, we have to control ourselves first. Our attempts to exert influence on the world are subject to chance, disappointment, and failure-but control of the self is the only kind that can succeed 100% of the time." - Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman I am not the best candidate to put the two cents on the table for a topic like this. These are some takes I read years ago that I collected from reddit a while ago that *I* believe are prime responses the question: *If everything is meaningless, then why keep going?* --There is no way to tell if it is really meaningless or not, so I decide to live as if it has meaning by being the best I can be and living life at its fullest. If it's really meaningless, at the end when death comes I won't even notice. If not, then I did what I was supposed to do. Kind of a Pascal's Wager but with the meaning of life. This quote by Marcus Aurelius sums it quite well: "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." “Sometimes even to live is an act of courage”. -Seneca “While you live, while it is in your power, be good. Now.” -Marcus Aurelius Living virtuously, in accordance to nature. Improving and applying our wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance in our daily life to the benefit of our own character and to the benefit of those around us. Stoicism is a practical philosophy, so it doesn’t seek to answer questions like “what is the meaning of life, but that doesn’t mean that life is meaningless in Stoicism (that’s nihilism). Everything, every challenge, every bump in the road is an opportunity to practice, to grow, to demonstrate character. "One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Although not exactly stoic, Albert Camus struggled with this a question in his writings. What's the point? Not only is life meaningless and often sucks but may not even be within our agency to change. The stoics often say the same: "Observe, in short, how transient and trivial is all mortal life; yesterday a drop of semen, tomorrow a handful of ash." - Marcus Aurelius. The solution is to consider the alternative, and appreciate how much of a miracle of nature we have this fleeting moment (however trivial) and to make the most of it. Because the alternative is oblivion. And soon. *Why would we paint this dark picture of life saying that everything we'll ever learn in the end is how to be stronger in the face of suffering and loneliness?* Suffering, is in itself a gift. Socrates once said: “I judge you unfortunate because you have never lived through misfortune. You have passed through life without an opponent-no one can ever know what you are capable of, not even you.” The questions can go on- There probably isn't a point to anything. There is no end goal to life. There are no winning conditions. You don't matter. Nobody does. However, you exist at a special time. For billions of years the universe has existed, and for billions of years the universe will continue to exist. But between having existed and continuing to exist, is this special slice of time, no longer than 90 or so years. The awe-inspiring time when you exist and are capable of realizing how special and unique you are. Your DNA will never again be replicated, your silly but amazing hairstyle will never again be seen, your beautiful smile will one day cease to light up the room-- But for now you are here, a bunch of atoms that through seemingly nothing but magic and science happen to know that they exist and that they are real. There's been billions of years of nothing before you. There'll be billions more after you. Savour your cosmic day out. The narrow band of life that can make your mark on, and get to experience the universe and all it has to offer. Go on, be bold, be brave, and be unique, Because you sure as hell aren't ever getting this opportunity again. - Bold Ontarian Life is strange. Yeah, that was also a reference. Some of us are actually in here just for the fun and journey. You all should add me on steam! we should play *Sexquence*
All I know is meaning is found in the effort we put into things. If we don't strive for something then we won't find value in anything. I believe they call that eustress.
@@gamesforyoutwo There's an idea called existentialism which might relate to what you said. Still From an absolute-and maybe consequentialist perspective, there will be an end to everything. Whether it be by the big freeze, gigantic black holes, you name it. Everything as we know it will come to an end. Nothing will matter because there will be nothing. With all that depressing shit being said, I still believe a person should take steps to make their own lives better and chase what makes them happy. Humans are not chairs or knives as we have no such determining qualities when we are born into the world. Our world and universe as we perceive it is quite literally our life itself, and it is our choice on how we should shape it. Damn, look at what staying up at night can do to a person.
Idk if waiting for god to read your resume is very calming, sounds stressful. Rather, the elevator that brings your soul to heaven when you die, and you just see the universe as you go up....
woah this is exactly how i feel, it somehow takes me back to a time in my life that didn’t even exist?? i had this feeling even as a really young kid when i listened to certain music. really makes me intrigued about how real past lives and after lives might actually be 🕊
When I hear this song, I can't help but feel like it is tainted with a hint of darkness. It's like looking back at a once fond memory and realizing that it was a not a joyful as it seemed...
The sound of memories I've never made. The sound of a life I'll never live. The sound of a promise I can not keep. The sound of a peaceful slumber under the stars. The sound of growing up. The sound of death and life all at once. The sound of heaven. The sound of a world ending. A world beginning. The sound of everything coming and going. everything real or fantasy. everything anyone has ever thought. The sound of the universe.
I went through a pretty traumatic life event recently, and after it ended I felt exactly like how this sounds. Like a feeling of tired relief, a break in the clouds after a terrible storm
“Is it... terrifying?...” “No, I don’t think so. It’s the way it is you know? Everything must come to an end, the drip- finally stops.” “See you on the other side?-“ “Oh y/n no, there is no other side. This is it.”

This reminds me of my dad, I remember him playing this all the time in our childhood house living room, he would always try to teach me how to play it, he became blind and couldn’t play anymore, I taught myself to play this piece for him. He died last year before I could show him, but I did play it on his funeral . Fly high I love you. 1/05/2023
I can see the titanic slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean and bottles of corked liquor and eyeglasses and expensive jewelry settling softly in the sand without a sound
Sitting in the stillness of my living room, it’s ten minutes until midnight in august… the windows are open so there’s a slight breeze coming in… I’m laying on my couch, feeling the sensation of the couches fabrics against my back, listening to this with my over ear headphones, feeling suddenly so aware of my own heartbeat… For this moment in stillness, feeling my heartbeat listening to Claire de Lune, I am reminded of my humanness. I am reminded how marvelous it is to breathe and be alive.
Interesting comment... I was thinking how much this sounds like the soundtrack for Blade Runner... which involves made-up memories implanted into the circuitry of replicants. Faux memories.
Who eles will hear when they leave their home. Fantastic living memory songs are good point for dementia people. And each other of the ends of humanity. What if you should dream about your friends?

@@segaking5846 Tbh, I don’t know, but I made that off of how corrupt our society is and how selfish we are. Now, I know most of us are good people, but some of us are not the best at being humane, if you know what I mean. Plus, two years ago, I was kinda in a dark place, so I took everything negatively, so, I don’t really think about things in that perspective anymore. So, I honestly forgot what or how I personally felt here, other than angsty teenaged thoughts.

You decide to draw while listening to this... you get the thought: 'I wouldn't mind dying to this music' But then again, you have so much life to live! You cleanse your mind of all thoughts, and tears roll down your neck You slowly fall into a deep slumber, but something is off- like sleep paralysis- You've had it before, but everything was different this time. The window had a dreamy pink and purple sunset, nothing else the world looks as if you put a filter on it, everything with a hue of lavender Like typical sleep paralysis, a figure enters the room. yet, it seems to emit a familiar aura it approaches your body, and calls your name. "It's time to go home, darling" You open your eyes to find yourself in a different world entirely in a dreamy white and silver gown, with hair that dances in the breeze you find yourself staring at the galaxy, and the stars start to gather you hear a strange song- as if the whole universe paused to sing. you find yourself in a trance, watching the planets and stars preform. for eternity.
it’s midnight. everyone’s asleep. everyone but you. it’s been hours of crying that’s left your cheeks tear-stained and your hair a mess. you know what you have to do. it’s an instinct that take over your whole body. your mind is clear, feet leading you to tiptoe in the bathroom as to not wake anyone. there are clothes there, the finest you could imagine. the whole world is doused in a silvery blue. you pull the shimmering white clothes on. they look like they were sent from pure heaven. you can’t explain it, but you know they’re for you. they fit you perfectly. the moon is shining on you, almost like a spotlight. but there’s no audience to watch your performance. as you step outside, you see it. a beach stretched out as far as the eye can see. your house is gone, the door you came from is missing. it’s just you and the sky. the stars are like tears hanging in the air, meant just for you. like the clothes. like the beach. you walk along the shore, watching the water lap at your feet as the melody plays on. where is it coming from? no one knows. no one will ever know. there’s no one else to know. it’s only you. you’re tired. you need to lay down. but there’s no where to do so. instead, you get to your knees and slide to your back in the water. you look right up at the stars and the moon. they’re yours. right now, the whole universe is. you remember this place. you’ve never been here. it’s familiar, it’s like home. you didn’t belong where you were. you’re finally where you’re meant to be. the light is cast upon you. it fills you up, takes you in. it’s cold, but it’s such a nice feeling. you don’t fight it, you don’t dare take this world away from your fingertips. just like that, the shore rises up again. it doesn’t drown you. just covers you. it takes you. you no longer belong to the earth. you are now a part of the sky a part of the stars. part of the moon. the universe. welcome home, darling.
I'm convinced that those who feel nostalgia for a place they doesn't really know and those who feel like they're travelling through space are both right: Nothing is calmer than that faraway sound. It's like unconditional serenity and universal protection- for me, it's as if I was listening to that distorted music, floating in mother earth belly... :-)
it's painful and calming at the same time. Like a yellow loneliness feeling. It's not dark and cold again. It's became the part of yourself from a long time ago.
We are all listening to this, at different time, places, backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, time zones and we are all sharing an experience in time, where for less than an hour we are weightless from the burdens of reality and life. None of us will most likely ever meet, we will never share a smile, kiss, touch, embrace, we will never look into each other’s eyes. And still we are all on the same planet, going about our days doing our tasks and still never seeing each other. But there is hope, because everyone we meet has their own lives and reality. It’s easy to forget that you are not the only one going about your days and that you are never alone, one call, one text, one drive, don’t waste the time you have been given. You are all loved, and I hope that one day we may all meet when we are with our Savior in Heaven. Goodbye for now❤️
- 5am feeling poetic bars - Drops of guit slide down my drains The bittersweet aftertaste, of what we thought was eternal our beautifully crafted lies are all that remains in the rising sun of heaven Striding down plains of afterlife my echo ponders for if it wouldn't have ended so soon would her primordial boon have saved me she wonders
Makes me long for a place I dont know. This poem came to mind: Perhaps you ache for freedom For the blue that's in your eye was given as a present from the fabric of the sky. And when your gazing skywards It's no wonder that you yearn When part of what your made of Always wishes to return
This makes me feel like the universe has just whispered her deepest secret to me enlightening me and I suddenly became lighter than air and able to float through the colorful infinity of time and space and I'm flying freely like a bird who has just learned how to fly....but after a while I realize I'm all alone and there's no going back. I'm part of the universe now and I'm forever one with the stars. Just floating....forever.
i shifted to this , a while back . this exact video infact . i was crying , reading comment povs and explanations on how they feel about this song , the nostalgia they felt . i ended up resting my head onto my pillow . i wasnt going to sleep , i told myself , just resting my eyes . my vision spins , even with my eyes closed . the spinning slows , and eventually stops . i open my eyes to see a gorgeous land , angelic even . it smelled amazing , the flowers were vibrant and the trees were tall . i stayed for what felt like days , and eventually i grew sad and tired . this magical fairytail land was quite lonely . the colors hurt my eyes after awhile , so i lied down in the grass , and shut my eyes ; just for a minute i promised to myself . i ended up passing out , and waking up back in the real world . the change into dull lifeless colors made me dizzy . i get out of my bed to see that barely an hour has passed . i grabbed a notebook , and wrote down every single detail i could think of before the memory went awry , and here i am retelling it to u .
It is late at night. The moon raising high up in the sky, it's majesties... The sun is nowhere to be found. He leaves everytime the moon appears. The beach house is located only a few meters away from the shallow waters. You are laid in bed. The big glass door is open and the curtains are moving with the shuttle breeze. You are wearing a light semi-transparent beach dress. It is light and you can feel the air touching your skin. The small hairs on you arms and legs raise up. A tingly sensation moves from your scalp down your spine. You step out of the door and start walking towards the water. You get out of you clothes which you leave on the branch of a palm tree and get in naked. The water is cold. The reflection of the moon in the clear waters is spectacular. It is so quite. You feel a sense of relief as you know you are the only one awake this late at night and the lack of sound calms you down. You swim away from the shore, very deep. When you can't see the coast anymore you close your eyes and let your body sink. As you get deeper and deeper you stop feeling the need to get air. You slowly try to breath from your nostrils and as the water runs from them, back to the roof of you mouth and down your throat you feel free. It doesn't burn. It is refreshing and cooling. You breath more water and it feels just like getting air. You open your eyes and gaze at the beautiful sights in front of you. The sliver fish glowing from the light of the moon under the dark waters, the beautiful corals and seaweed that moves in a royal manner with the flow of the sea. You feel hypnotized. You move your head upwards and look at the moon from underwater. You start swimming up to look at it better. You move your head outside of the water. The air hitting your wet skin hurts. The loud crickets that you couldn't hear before are now ruining the quietness. The light of the moon hurts your eyes. You get back underwater and start swimming again. You don't know where you are going. You are moving very far away from the shore but you don't care. You want to get lost in the deep ocean. You don't want to see a human again. You don't want to see the sunlight again. You want to hide from everything under the dark waters. It is almost like someone hypnotized you. You want to leave your family and friends and stay underwater forever. The though of putting you head outside the water scares you. You go deeper and deeper. The deeper you go the less light you see. When you reach the bottom of the sea you start moving the sand with your toes. It all feels natural. You stay there and never go outside again. Under the deep dark waters.
@@arid4699 I would like to make a twist, like I met a mermaid underwater who is in essence the moon itself, glowing and serene, who embraces humans who can get past their ego in her underground commune.
This song makes me imagínate myself in space, floating, looking at all the stars and planets and galaxies and comets and asteroids pass in a beautiful rhythmical pattern like the musical pattern in this piece
everyone is throwing things. plates, vases, furniture, anything. screaming, yelling and fighting can be heard from everywhere in the house. i get up and leave, nobody noticing i'm gone. i go to an empty, grassy field, and i fall backwards, arms stretched wide out. i go into a different world, a better world, my world. it's so peaceful, and quiet, with nothing but me and nature in the world. i get up from the grass and i start to dance as i hear this playing from a non-existent speaker, as if it's just playing everywhere, from nothing. i continue to dance as i make my way to the beautiful beach. i dance in the sand, in the water. with the fish and seaweed. i then make my way up to the clouds, as i then just sit, and stare off into the distance, nothing but nature ahead of me. i close my eyes and lay back onto the clouds, just relaxing and enjoying the world i have. i then open my eyes, and i'm in my bedroom. lying on my old mattress, with tears streaming down my face, i sit up, with a feeling of being alone. but this time, it's a sad loneliness. i'm once again not at peace, sitting on my bed, tears running down my face and neck, thinking about how i hate this world. a small smile then creeps up onto my face as i think of how peaceful and happy i was just a few moments ago, and how i don't have to be in this world. i then close my eyes, and fall back as i re-enter my dreamland, focusing on my world, and nothing else. blocking out reality, and enjoying the short time i still have here.
this is like a song from the void. with hints of all the things that once were and that could have been in another life. memories that never happened and visions into the future. this piece is simply outside of space and time. it's mystical and beautiful, cold and distant. just like the moon.
I love sunny days, they always make you happy! But, this song especially, reminds me of the depressing beauty that is a cloudy day. To be able to see the clouds in the sky and feel the dampness in the air…. It’s calming… to feel the breeze blow wet air in your face… it reminds you of times you’ve never had… it’s beauty at its finest.
IMAGINE: you jump from a cliff into the ocean to end your suffering. As soon as you hit the ocean, you realise there's something wrong. You feel as if you're floating underwater, you can breathe perfectly, you're not in pain, you're in awe of what's in front of you. A beautiful ocean, sunlight piercing through, you see the beauty of what you left behind. You finally regret what you did, and with full force, you try to reach surface again. After making it out, no one believes what you say, but deep down only you know what happened, and only you truly ever will.
The composer who wrote this song was Claude Debussy and he didn’t have a perfect life like most famous composers but he use all of his feelings and thoughts and put them into his amazing pieces.
a lot of famous composers didn’t have a perfect life. in fact i think more than you can think. mozart for example was used by his father as a way to earn money. he was a bad alcoholic and was never completely stable.
POV: it's the 1950's and for your birthday you get a Polaroid for your birthday, you head out with your friends to the mall and buy a lot of clothing and take pictures with the camera, the clock strikes 4 hours before midnight you walk out onto the empty streets and head back home not long after your friends went back home, but on your way back you suddenly can't hear the sound of night anymore you look at your watch, a gift from you grandmother, it's 12 am, you were so occupied with looking at the watch that you don't notice the corvette in front of you, you get hit and everything fades to black , your hearing finally returns only to hear the sound of the car drive off, but you expected immense pain but instead you're just laying there in the pitch black darkness, your hearing finally cuts out for one last time but forever now, you lay there silently now being unable to speak, smell, see, talk or hear, you slowly start to develop sad old and dusty memories that play back and fourth back and fourth over and over again and again, the true horror about this is that the man who killed you drove off and didn't forgive himself for his crime, he himself is no longer human but nor is he considered a living corpse either, he is just a being that'll forever hold your lasting moments with him, and same with you.
Honestly, this sounds haunting yet ethereal. It feels like going into an abandoned house and finding out that the ghosts there are nice and aren’t out to get you.
Imagine being 90 years old, sitting alone with no one around. You sit down and listen to this and remember the bittersweet memories you once endured in your life. Imagine loving someone so deep that this allows you to feel their presence, as your souls dance under the starry night... just one last time. before you finally pass of back into the universe. or you just wake up and its a repeat cycle
Am I the only one who finds this disturbing but calming? Like if I were to hear this in an empty, dark corridor with only one door, and the building with its ceiling lights warning me of some type of danger. But, the gentle and offsetting music that echos throughout the corridor is telling me to trust it with open arms. Two entities are telling me to trust one of them, but I don’t see the point in doing so. Maybe I’m okay as is. Or am I? Maybe the door leads to more in quantity, but what if staying makes me only deal with one big issue? Is there maybe... a third option? What did I just type?
It's 2am and you find yourself in an empty void made of shimmering blues, pinks, purples, and greens you float there not knowing what is happening this is playing from everywhere and nowhere you are filled with a strange calm as suddenly you start to drift towards a patch of silvery blue and you see that it's a different dimension where you can have everything you want this is your reward, you won the game and now you can sit back and relax as you're filled with a sense of fulfillment that you had lacked before you found yourself in the infinite cosmos of a broken reality, you are going home Ok what the fucking fuck did I just put out into the internet
This is the only song that truly ends the war in my head. The only song that quietly plays in the background while I have no thoughts. The only song I can relax to. Love the quiet it brings my ever moving and every thinking self as I can just relax ❤ This gives me motivation to carry on Learning the piano and one day I’ll be able to play like this. ❤❤
This reminds me of all the nameless people lost to time, all the beautiful things they saw and people they loved and feelings they had, thrown off to drift into oblivion
Here is a story just for you, I hope you enjoy it. You see long ago when the universe was just beginning you and I and all you know were stars and as the void began to fill up some stars started to fall until they landed on this here Earth and when the end of this Earth is to happen we should all hold no fear. You may be asking “why?” And the answer is simple, we shall all glow on that day and as we lift off we will find our new homes and lives and some how, some way, we will always find the ones we lost.
This song, especially this remix just brings out this sadness in me that I didn't know I had and I feel like crying. The song makes me feel like the end has come and that I am floating lifelessly in a void with a piano playing by itself, and tears falling down my cheeks as I float for the rest of eternity as the music resonates throughout the void, never ending with just memories to comfort me. I have looked the the comments and see the people have said the exact same thing as me but without the piano and I am fascinated how one song can make us think of the same thing. This song really is different from any other song I have ever listened too, it has so much emotion all put together into one song.
Clair De Lune creates such a unique atmosphere of both desperate melancholy and ethereal joy. The greatest highs and lows of our psyche, pain and serenity to create what can only be described as beauty.
Could y’all imagine what listening to Clair de Lune would be like if everyone already knew why Debussy made/thought of when he made this song? That’s why I respect when artists leave songs for the people to interpret. It gives us chance to dive deep into our own feelings instead of being told how the artist felt and adds this layer of mystery (for a lack of a better word) to the song. So I’m thankful it isn’t widely known why Debussy made this song and I don’t think I ever wanna know.
I have never cried so much... I start to drift from “normal life” and let my mind wander. I start to think about everything sad, and realize how precious life is.
All i think about is space. Just floating through it with out a care in the world. This piece of music is like a trance it makes you feel a type of way you can describe. Im on my 8th mental breakdown and this piece puts my life back into the wrong place but still manages to fit so perfectly while listening to this.
i listen to this song so much because it reminds me of a day that i start to question whether it even happened or not. i went to a piano recital, and a beautiful woman sat at a big black grand piano in a pitch black room that was only lit by a spotlight. when i say this woman was beautiful, i mean it. she looked stunning- she wore the longest, most elegant light pink dress i’d ever seen, and had the shiniest, long blonde hair. she wore white laced gloves, and she just sat there. she just sat at a stool playing the keys of the piano so carefully but care-freely. she was playing just for the sake of hearing it, not for anyone who was listening. eventually, she reached he end of the song and the light dimmed to black. i don’t remember the rest of that day, and sometimes i question whether it even happened...
this song takes you to another world... a place thats empty, quiet... nothingness... but its calming. its welcoming. its a place to run to when you cant run anymore. because no matter how disturbing this place may appear... it brings you back. way back, to when you didnt even need to run. let that sink in

Everyone is kinda dark, philosophical and existential crisis, and I just imagine summer petals falling slowly on the ground and everything is green, the gentle breeze is kissing you and the time flows 10 times slower with this music
I wander through the halls of an old castle, long abandoned. As I pass through the decrepit tunnels, I can hear the music of a royal ball drifting above the fog. I stumble upon a dining room. I do not want to cross the threshold, but a ghostly force pulls me forward. Suddenly the cobweb-covered place settings turn to the most beautiful gold. Piles of food stack the table. How hungry I am, I think. I pick up one decadent morsel from the plate in front of me and bring it slowly to my lips. I bite down and taste ash and sulfur. The illusion is gone, but I don’t feel hungry anymore. I exit the dining room and continue down the corridor, stopping for a moment to observe the tapestry above my head. A great king stares back. I blink and he’s standing in front of me now, crown shimmering in the moonlight. He offers me his hand. We waltz through the great hall. I can’t take my eyes off of him, he’s beautiful. Something behind me clatters and I look away from the king, only for a moment, but it’s long enough. The spell is broken. In my arms lay the tattered remains of a corpse so old even the bugs won’t touch it. I place the corpse gingerly on the staircase and readjust the crown atop its head. I’m walking up the staircase, now, and it goes on forever. It feels like ages until I finally reach the top. I see a bridge, stemming out over the cliffside. I can see the jagged rocks that sit beneath the castle. The fog is too dense to see what’s on the other side of the bridge. Still, I walk forward, driven by curiosity. I make it to what seems to be the halfway point. It must be, since I can’t see the castle anymore. I turn back, and again the spell is broken. There is no bridge to support me, only the warm embrace of the rocks below. I laid there for hours, caught by the rocks. I kept crying out, but no one came to help me. I fell asleep for a while, but I’m awake now. Maybe it’s another illusion, but it doesn’t hurt anymore. edit: your comments have all been so sweet! thank you for your support:)
auburn hippie Can’t say I didn’t see that ending coming with the bridge, but damn. So touching yet horrifying at the same time, but ending with peace. That was a rollercoaster.
this song played in my dreams once when i was 5. I didn't know that at the time. I feel like this song will let me look into a memory of the past life I might've once lived.
The moonlight spills in from the tall windows in this large, empty ballroom. I sit, alone, in the center of the room. It's silent, and lonely, and I can't bear the thought of being so lonesome, so I think elsewhere. I close my eyes, breathe in deeply, and breathe out. When I open my eyes, this melody begins to play, hauntingly beautiful. I turn to look at the sky through the windows, and my eyes are drawn to someone under the moonlight. They are tall and lithe, and pretty, in an otherworldly type of way. The moon's milky beams bathe the figure in white, making them seem ethereal. "Dance with me?" They ask, in a voice that's as melodic as a lover's laughter, and soothing as fresh rainfall after harsh heat. They take my hand in theirs, and we spin and sway and fly to the music, free as the wind. I'm ecstatic, overjoyed. But I'm also confused. "Who are you?" I asked them, peering into their endless eyes. They fall quiet, before smiling, "Someone who loves you." The person didn't stay long, and the moonlight began to grow weaker and the twilight stronger. They stopped our dancing, and raised a hand to my cheek. "Don't forget me. " I try to smile, but tears threatened to fall from my eyes. "How could you leave me when I'm so lonely? " My stranger frowns, seemingly puzzled. "I'm not leaving you." They thumb away a tear, and kiss my forehead tenderly. "As long as the moon shines, I'm with you. If you ever feel lonely, know that I've never abandoned you. If you feel scared, know that I love you, and I'd never want anything to harm you." My stranger kisses me softly, before letting go, and walking back to the moonlit windows. I blink and my stranger is gone. The music is gone. I'm alone once more. The moon is shining, casting a heavenly glow upon everything in sight. I don't feel so lonely anymore.
This song has always made my heart ache in the most painful ways. The notes seem like they are calling me, like they know me but I don’t know them. I always get a feeling I can’t quite describe when I listen to this song, it’s like looking back on things you’ve never experienced, like looking down the tunnels of other lives that all weave together like an intricate quilt. I wonder why I get this feeling, I suppose I’ll never know.
Story of this sound: It’s 12am at night and you and your friends are sleeping over in the living room. You decide to put on music and this song pops up so you feel relaxed and feel so many nostalgia thoughts in your head and feel like you’re in a external universe where your in space and exploring the universe. It’s 1am and you try and fall asleep with your friend but you don’t feel tired and get a snack from the kitchen and keep on listening to it more and you and your friend finally fall asleep from this peaceful soundtrack. Like at 2:40 and 9:23 you feel yourself falling asleep in outer space. This is so calming and kinda horror listening to it at night, but I’m glad I found it and can now put it on repeat tonight for 1 hour straight.
I am on a carousel by the lake. My grandmother is holding me and my grandfather is laughing and waving. It’s 1941 and the breeze is blowing off of the lake through our hair. My grandmother kisses me and blows a kiss to my grandfather. He waves and blows a kiss to us. He is crying knowing he will ship out to the South Pacific to fight in the next few days. We are all scared that he may not return- but he does! I am lost in happiness, innocence, and the the joy of being a loved and naive child in a moment I wish I could go back to daily. Our love for each other was so that it hurt to be a part. A time of happiness, fear, and unexpected future with WII beginning. Life went on and they both lived to 92 with me being their only grandchild. I had to say goodbye and bury my best parents, grandparents, and friends. A piece of my heart is still back on that carousel from years before. Beautiful- played at my grandmother’s and grandfather’s funerals and I could envision their souls leaving and kissing me goodbye as they went to heaven. Happy sad -miss them so. Keep up the beautiful, inspirational, and innovative music!
This song makes me feel as if there is a me another me that is still me but is better than me in every way but just because they are better doesn’t mean they are the best because a key feature they have is that they can give and give more and give everyone a smile and never get one back but why would they need a smile for why did they even give in the first place. It must have been to gain something but no that wasn’t the case at all they simply wanted to see another person smile, slowly they’re own face began to smile as well but when there’s no one to copy no one to make happy that person will also rehearse those feeling in almost a state of defiance they try to change themselves only to realize that it is hard to change and sometimes you need someone to help you change or someone to copy or maybe even something maybe all they wanted to do was feel maybe they thought that encouraging happiness onto others would instill happiness in them but for what does a man care for happiness when he has yet to “feel” for what is feeling something without happiness, what is rain without sunshine, what is success without failure, I sometimes believe the human mind doesn’t need positive reinforcement it just needs assurance, if what they did has had a cause or maybe if what they didn’t do has had an effect, possible, quite possibly all we want to know is if we have even done anything and not exactly accomplished anything but moreover felt something because “the truth is no one can be happy without feeling something first just as no one can do something or achieve something without have first not done anything0
Whenever I listen to this it reminds me of staring at the moon for hours when I was younger and wishing that time would go faster and I’d be older 16 years later I only wish I had held on to those years a little longer and loved the moon a little harder So beautiful
just love imagining that after countless years when every commenters here are long gone, only the video itself will be buried deep in the algorithm someone will find this, and go through all the comments left by their ancestors... wondering how we lived back in the days and admiring this amazing little link between us:)
Doesn't sound so romantic but it's the way debussey spaced the notes. Each note feels perfect and you know exactly what the next note is - but he makes you wait for it. Each note is delayed and creates and inner tension as we wait for it to arrive and then the warm satisfied feeling when it finally does. It creates that feeling of longing love. Looking back on someone you loved deeply. He was a master and this is his master piece. Truly from another realm
it’s the 1800s, you and your best friend are gliding elegantly across the dance floor when you stare into his eyes finally realizing who he is and what a great man he is and how kind he is to you, all the music slows down and all the other couples seem to blur into nothing as you keep your eyes fixed on him, his eyes fixed on you. He’s always loved you, you just never saw it until now. You can’t even hear the music anymore or see anyone else except him, you never want this moment to end. You and him dance until the band leaves while he holds on to you tight and exchange shy glances. This is true love.
In an empty theatre That once held life Proud acts of grandeur Once preformed gracefully on the now empty stage And yet The entire place still echoes Still reverberates With the sound of those long forgotten acts Almost as if the stage remembered every character's lines Every song's notes If you close your eyes You can still hear the songs Nothing but a distant echo As if from another time and place But it will always play For those willing to listen One more time
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING IF YOU ARE SAD OR GET SAD A LOT as I fall asleep, I turn this on a small speaker and turn on my led lights, usually yellow or red and just ponder out my floor to ceiling windows that are met with my backyard, and behind it many cities. I just look at the lights and remember how lucky I am to be alive. No matter how hard it gets, theirs always some times that you just feel truely happy. That’s the point In life. To enjoy it. To embrace everything around you, and think, their are 8 billion people on this planet and only one of me. If I were to go, that’s one less me. No one can replace you. No matter how much you think your family, friends, strangers hate you, they would be so so fucking sad if you left, they would cry. Because they don’t know how much they miss someone until they’re gone. If you ever feel like it’s all going wrong and you want to end it all, let me help you. Dim the lights and sit somewhere. Alone. Turn on your favorite song and look around. What do you see? Write it down. What do you smell? Write that down. What do you hear? Most importantly, what do you feel. Fear? Anger? Sadness? Now, look at your biggest insecurity. And say, this is me. And I’m fucking proud of me. Because I am me, and theirs no one else like me. Take a few deep breathes and go do something you love. You love playing basketball? Go play basketball. Love shopping? Go shopping. Love watching movies? Go watch a movie. Do anything you enjoy. Maybe meet up with a friend. And, if you are suicidal and no one knows, I know it’s easier said than done, but seriously go tell someone. Please please. It will be so much better, trust me. If the person you tell doesn’t believe you, keep telling people until you find someone who does. Please. And, if you are suicidal and are planning to do it, call suicide hotline. If you are a child being abused at home, call cps. Now to summarize, you are a amazing human being. You are capable of so much and you are truly loved.
I’ve always been obsessed with the deep-sea it does seem like a sort of otherworldly silent mysterious calm place at the same time been totally terrifying.
This sound makes me want to desperately grasp the childhood I once had, elementary school with friends, no worries about life, and the ignorance of family secrets, only to find the life I am living now- which is in fact, much different.
yet still, the memory persists, creeping up the back of your ribcage like blooming ivy. the inner rings of a tree trunk. not gone; just blanketed in new layers, held steady, held safe. it stirs in the wake of calm music and late nights and sunny mornings, as if to call out. maybe, as if to reassure you. you have known beauty and love and you will know it again.
My mom used to play this song on piano, and I'd lay underneath the piano and just look out the window. Sometimes I wonder if I'll get that feeling ever again, where for a minute there was nothing else to worry about.
Even if it takes death, I know that, because of this song, there will be a point where everything is alright, maybe for a brief moment, but it will be there… waiting
This music makes me feel like I’m falling super slowly from the sky, and I’m admiring the surroundings before I hit the ground. Just as I was about to hit the ground, it went dark. Then I saw a super bright light, this was it, I died peacefully and now I’m in heaven. It really was more beautiful than I imagined…………
Read while listening once. You're sitting alone in pitch blackness you can't hear anything but your breathing and the song playing The song gets faster You see a light You see a familiar hand reach out to you You take the hand The music get quite and slower The hand disappeared Now you sit in the darkness alone, wishing you can leave but you can't. You're alone
“Mommy. Where do we go when we die?” *The little girl said, laying in her bed about to go to sleep.* “We go high in the sky. ‘Till we reach the stars. If you go high enough, you’ll be some where safe, and nice.” “But mommy, why do we go there?” “Have patience sweetie.” *The little girls tears dripped from her cheek.* “Yeah. Maybe we do go somewhere nice..” *The little girl said, as she held her moms picture in her hand.*
When you're listening to this, imagine you and your crush running through the dark woods lit only by the heavy moonlight, leaping over creeks and stealing glances at each other. Imagine dodging tree after bush after stump after log on a path to no where, or everywhere. Imagine sharing soft smiles in the thick woods, where no where can find you and no will try, because you're sure it's dream. Escaping from nothing or everything, only for the feeling. Climbing up a tall tree to watch dawn approach, until you finally share a kiss filled with longing and melancholy. When you pull apart, the sun arrives, and you float up back into the aether, never to return to this mysterious forest that might not exist.
this sounds like looking back to all the memories you made with a loved person who passed away a long time ago. how everything seemed perfect back then. now everything that's left are the memories
Tomorrow is my last day of going to school being a freshman in high school due to exams. But the day after tomorrow is the official last day for everyone else. Man I am really going to miss the seniors, the memories that were made, all of the breakthroughs, and everything else. 🥺❤️✨

Some thought farts:
Its interesting, when we say things like "life is ultimately meaningless", in order to say that, the person has to take in several information, and from that make logical deduction whatever they think is 'evidence' in order to conclude that. All this conclusion of meaninglessness derived from our brain, which has 90 billion neurons, to store and process information. You might think its 'cruel' to have a brain capable of processing info and yet everything turn out to be meaningless, yet even cruel is a conclusion, a meaning we deduce from what we experience. Science tell us the brain allow pain in the body when things hurt us, to tell us something needs to be healed. If we are capable of feeling "sad" thinking about how meaningless life is, its kind of funny, because if it really is meaningless, joy, happiness sadness are all obsolete, we won't even deduce anything. Yet it is perhaps more safe and comforting to see everything is meaninglessness, it hurts less when things don't go our way, yet are we really living?
live is just a long dying process.
Interesting perspective of emotions.
if you have a strong foundation from your parents, It's likely that most of your beliefs and convictions have obviously the strongest influence in your game plan, and mentality. I am an individual who doesn't really like to contemplate areas like this. In my eyes, It's like I am always having to be careful with my time. If I don't have great interest in something I try to avoid it, and when I do; I become obsessed about it, I discover everything that I can think of it, take all the juice and move on. Weird research tendencies. Premium nurture.
What you said sounded in my head just like stoicism, a great philosophy of leadership.
"Stoicism teaches us that, before we try to control events, we have to control ourselves first. Our attempts to exert influence on the world are subject to chance, disappointment, and failure-but control of the self is the only kind that can succeed 100% of the time." - Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman
I am not the best candidate to put the two cents on the table for a topic like this. These are some takes I read years ago that I collected from reddit a while ago that *I* believe are prime responses the question:
*If everything is meaningless, then why keep going?*
--There is no way to tell if it is really meaningless or not, so I decide to live as if it has meaning by being the best I can be and living life at its fullest.
If it's really meaningless, at the end when death comes I won't even notice. If not, then I did what I was supposed to do.
Kind of a Pascal's Wager but with the meaning of life.
This quote by Marcus Aurelius sums it quite well:
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage”. -Seneca
“While you live, while it is in your power, be good. Now.” -Marcus Aurelius
Living virtuously, in accordance to nature. Improving and applying our wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance in our daily life to the benefit of our own character and to the benefit of those around us.
Stoicism is a practical philosophy, so it doesn’t seek to answer questions like “what is the meaning of life, but that doesn’t mean that life is meaningless in Stoicism (that’s nihilism). Everything, every challenge, every bump in the road is an opportunity to practice, to grow, to demonstrate character.
"One must imagine Sisyphus happy". Although not exactly stoic, Albert Camus struggled with this a question in his writings. What's the point? Not only is life meaningless and often sucks but may not even be within our agency to change.
The stoics often say the same:
"Observe, in short, how transient and trivial is all mortal life; yesterday a drop of semen, tomorrow a handful of ash." - Marcus Aurelius.
The solution is to consider the alternative, and appreciate how much of a miracle of nature we have this fleeting moment (however trivial) and to make the most of it. Because the alternative is oblivion. And soon.
*Why would we paint this dark picture of life saying that everything we'll ever learn in the end is how to be stronger in the face of suffering and loneliness?*
Suffering, is in itself a gift.
Socrates once said: “I judge you unfortunate because you have never lived through misfortune. You have passed through life without an opponent-no one can ever know what you are capable of, not even you.”
The questions can go on-
There probably isn't a point to anything. There is no end goal to life. There are no winning conditions.
You don't matter. Nobody does.
However, you exist at a special time. For billions of years the universe has existed, and for billions of years the universe will continue to exist.
But between having existed and continuing to exist, is this special slice of time, no longer than 90 or so years. The awe-inspiring time when you exist and are capable of realizing how special and unique you are.
Your DNA will never again be replicated, your silly but amazing hairstyle will never again be seen, your beautiful smile will one day cease to light up the room--
But for now you are here, a bunch of atoms that through seemingly nothing but magic and science happen to know that they exist and that they are real. There's been billions of years of nothing before you. There'll be billions more after you.
Savour your cosmic day out. The narrow band of life that can make your mark on, and get to experience the universe and all it has to offer.
Go on, be bold, be brave, and be unique, Because you sure as hell aren't ever getting this opportunity again.
- Bold Ontarian
Life is strange. Yeah, that was also a reference. Some of us are actually in here just for the fun and journey.

@@alpay389 bruh
All I know is meaning is found in the effort we put into things. If we don't strive for something then we won't find value in anything. I believe they call that eustress.
@@gamesforyoutwo There's an idea called existentialism which might relate to what you said. Still From an absolute-and maybe consequentialist perspective, there will be an end to everything. Whether it be by the big freeze, gigantic black holes, you name it. Everything as we know it will come to an end. Nothing will matter because there will be nothing. With all that depressing shit being said, I still believe a person should take steps to make their own lives better and chase what makes them happy. Humans are not chairs or knives as we have no such determining qualities when we are born into the world. Our world and universe as we perceive it is quite literally our life itself, and it is our choice on how we should shape it.
Damn, look at what staying up at night can do to a person.
I feel like this is what the waiting room in Heaven sounds like
waiting for what?
Idk tbh I wonder
Idk if waiting for god to read your resume is very calming, sounds stressful. Rather, the elevator that brings your soul to heaven when you die, and you just see the universe as you go up....
well there are people who have seen heaven and said there actually was a waiting room one had a section for children

Sadness? Who hurt you

Claire de lune is one of those pieces that makes you nostalgic. Like, you’ve heard it before, somewhere, in a memory from another life.
yes !
exactly!!!
I actually was remembering all of the good moments I had with my friends and I coluldn't help but cry. It's such a wonderful piece :' )
@@mayu1663 had and will continue to have :)
woah this is exactly how i feel, it somehow takes me back to a time in my life that didn’t even exist?? i had this feeling even as a really young kid when i listened to certain music. really makes me intrigued about how real past lives and after lives might actually be 🕊
When I hear this song, I can't help but feel like it is tainted with a hint of darkness. It's like looking back at a once fond memory and realizing that it was a not a joyful as it seemed...
groovygirl willz oh my god, you just made me realize what I was feeling hearing this song! Thank you so much, really
This is what I thought as well, like theres something wrong, not quite right.
well it's a good thing i can't really remember anything happy.
groovygirl willz darn it, Sadness, stop touching the core memories!!
@@kaileedartt1097 She soon realized one day she couldn't find you anymore.
The sound of memories I've never made.
The sound of a life I'll never live.
The sound of a promise I can not keep.
The sound of a peaceful slumber under the stars.
The sound of growing up.
The sound of death and life all at once.
The sound of heaven.
The sound of a world ending.
A world beginning.
The sound of everything coming and going.
everything real or fantasy.
everything anyone has ever thought.
The sound of the universe.
is this suppose to be a poem its so nice
Beautiful
The coolest part about this, is that you can sing it to the song 🎵
Isn't life beautiful? You never know what's going to happen to you sometimes it's good and other times bad I wish luck to everyone out there
❤
I went through a pretty traumatic life event recently, and after it ended I felt exactly like how this sounds. Like a feeling of tired relief, a break in the clouds after a terrible storm
hope you feel better now
Since this happened to you I won't be collecting your tax for another 6 months hope you feel better!

This reminds me of my dad, I remember him playing this all the time in our childhood house living room, he would always try to teach me how to play it, he became blind and couldn’t play anymore, I taught myself to play this piece for him.

Coolest part about this song for me is being able to recognize the song on the very first key. And it never disappoints.
I sometimes hear something remotely similar and I think about Clair de lune lmfao
The very first note? The key is something entirely different.
EXACTLY.

Sitting in the stillness of my living room, it’s ten minutes until midnight in august… the windows are open so there’s a slight breeze coming in… I’m laying on my couch, feeling the sensation of the couches fabrics against my back, listening to this with my over ear headphones, feeling suddenly so aware of my own heartbeat… For this moment in stillness, feeling my heartbeat listening to Claire de Lune, I am reminded of my humanness. I am reminded how marvelous it is to breathe and be alive.
This sounds like memories I've never had.
Interesting comment... I was thinking how much this sounds like the soundtrack for Blade Runner... which involves made-up memories implanted into the circuitry of replicants. Faux memories.
It's so familiar, I fell asleep and dreamed...!

Plus, two years ago, I was kinda in a dark place, so I took everything negatively, so, I don’t really think about things in that perspective anymore.

The music is too beautiful for a mr incredible meme
You decide to draw while listening to this...
you get the thought: 'I wouldn't mind dying to this music'
But then again, you have so much life to live!
You cleanse your mind of all thoughts, and tears roll down your neck
You slowly fall into a deep slumber, but something is off-
like sleep paralysis-
You've had it before, but everything was different this time.
The window had a dreamy pink and purple sunset, nothing else
the world looks as if you put a filter on it, everything with a hue of lavender
Like typical sleep paralysis, a figure enters the room.
yet, it seems to emit a familiar aura
it approaches your body,
and calls your name.
"It's time to go home, darling"
You open your eyes to find yourself in a different world entirely
in a dreamy white and silver gown, with hair that dances in the breeze
you find yourself staring at the galaxy, and the stars start to gather
you hear a strange song- as if the whole universe paused to sing.
you find yourself in a trance, watching the planets and stars preform.
for eternity.
it’s midnight.
everyone’s asleep. everyone but you. it’s been hours of crying that’s left your cheeks tear-stained and your hair a mess. you know what you have to do. it’s an instinct that take over your whole body. your mind is clear, feet leading you to tiptoe in the bathroom as to not wake anyone. there are clothes there, the finest you could imagine. the whole world is doused in a silvery blue. you pull the shimmering white clothes on. they look like they were sent from pure heaven. you can’t explain it, but you know they’re for you. they fit you perfectly.
the moon is shining on you, almost like a spotlight.
but there’s no audience to watch your performance.
as you step outside, you see it. a beach stretched out as far as the eye can see. your house is gone, the door you came from is missing. it’s just you and the sky. the stars are like tears hanging in the air, meant just for you. like the clothes. like the beach.
you walk along the shore, watching the water lap at your feet as the melody plays on. where is it coming from? no one knows. no one will ever know. there’s no one else to know. it’s only you.
you’re tired. you need to lay down. but there’s no where to do so. instead, you get to your knees and slide to your back in the water. you look right up at the stars and the moon. they’re yours. right now, the whole universe is.
you remember this place. you’ve never been here. it’s familiar, it’s like home. you didn’t belong where you were. you’re finally where you’re meant to be.
the light is cast upon you. it fills you up, takes you in. it’s cold, but it’s such a nice feeling. you don’t fight it, you don’t dare take this world away from your fingertips.
just like that, the shore rises up again. it doesn’t drown you. just covers you.
it takes you.
you no longer belong to the earth.
you are now a part of the sky
a part of the stars.
part of the moon.
the universe.
welcome home, darling.
how dare you make me cry this early today
thats beautiful, u should be a writer if ur not already
wow. I think im going to cry because of how beautiful this is.
"Welcome home, darling"
AHHAHAAAHAAA THATS SO BEAUTIFUL
“welcome home, darling” that was so cool
I'm convinced that those who feel nostalgia for a place they doesn't really know and those who feel like they're travelling through space are both right: Nothing is calmer than that faraway sound. It's like unconditional serenity and universal protection- for me, it's as if I was listening to that distorted music, floating in mother earth belly... :-)
That's a striking theory!
Beautiful
it's painful and calming at the same time. Like a yellow loneliness feeling. It's not dark and cold again. It's became the part of yourself from a long time ago.
I guess its...painfully calming...😂
Clair de lune has to be one of the best piano pieces ever in my opinion.
It’s already magical, but this edited version makes it even better
We are all listening to this, at different time, places, backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, time zones and we are all sharing an experience in time, where for less than an hour we are weightless from the burdens of reality and life. None of us will most likely ever meet, we will never share a smile, kiss, touch, embrace, we will never look into each other’s eyes. And still we are all on the same planet, going about our days doing our tasks and still never seeing each other. But there is hope, because everyone we meet has their own lives and reality. It’s easy to forget that you are not the only one going about your days and that you are never alone, one call, one text, one drive, don’t waste the time you have been given. You are all loved, and I hope that one day we may all meet when we are with our Savior in Heaven. Goodbye for now❤️
Goodbye 😌
Farewell.
I wanna be ur friend
See you around LifeLongCat0

Imagine shifting to this...
I want this played at my funeral. I think it is absolutely beautiful and would love to leave life with this playing softly in the background
- 5am feeling poetic bars -
Drops of guit slide down my drains
The bittersweet aftertaste, of what we thought was eternal
our beautifully crafted lies are all that remains
in the rising sun of heaven
Striding down plains of afterlife my echo ponders
for if it wouldn't have ended so soon
would her primordial boon have saved me she wonders
Makes me long for a place I dont know. This poem came to mind:
Perhaps you ache for freedom
For the blue that's in your eye
was given as a present from the fabric of the sky.
And when your gazing skywards
It's no wonder that you yearn
When part of what your made of
Always wishes to return
You hurt me, man. I didn't do nothin' to you!😢😭
This is beautiful, I don't know how but this really resonates with me~
Loooove 💙

imma keep this in my head somewhere
This makes me feel like the universe has just whispered her deepest secret to me enlightening me and I suddenly became lighter than air and able to float through the colorful infinity of time and space and I'm flying freely like a bird who has just learned how to fly....but after a while I realize I'm all alone and there's no going back. I'm part of the universe now and I'm forever one with the stars. Just floating....forever.

This song sounds like the afterlife like you can't even identify such a marvelous song. Beautiful song.
i shifted to this , a while back . this exact video infact . i was crying , reading comment povs and explanations on how they feel about this song , the nostalgia they felt . i ended up resting my head onto my pillow . i wasnt going to sleep , i told myself , just resting my eyes . my vision spins , even with my eyes closed . the spinning slows , and eventually stops . i open my eyes to see a gorgeous land , angelic even . it smelled amazing , the flowers were vibrant and the trees were tall . i stayed for what felt like days , and eventually i grew sad and tired . this magical fairytail land was quite lonely . the colors hurt my eyes after awhile , so i lied down in the grass , and shut my eyes ; just for a minute i promised to myself . i ended up passing out , and waking up back in the real world . the change into dull lifeless colors made me dizzy . i get out of my bed to see that barely an hour has passed . i grabbed a notebook , and wrote down every single detail i could think of before the memory went awry , and here i am retelling it to u .
that’s beautiful.

Ok but the stories people are writing here that match with this music is honestly so nice :)
It is late at night. The moon raising high up in the sky, it's majesties... The sun is nowhere to be found. He leaves everytime the moon appears. The beach house is located only a few meters away from the shallow waters. You are laid in bed. The big glass door is open and the curtains are moving with the shuttle breeze. You are wearing a light semi-transparent beach dress. It is light and you can feel the air touching your skin. The small hairs on you arms and legs raise up. A tingly sensation moves from your scalp down your spine. You step out of the door and start walking towards the water. You get out of you clothes which you leave on the branch of a palm tree and get in naked. The water is cold. The reflection of the moon in the clear waters is spectacular. It is so quite. You feel a sense of relief as you know you are the only one awake this late at night and the lack of sound calms you down. You swim away from the shore, very deep. When you can't see the coast anymore you close your eyes and let your body sink. As you get deeper and deeper you stop feeling the need to get air. You slowly try to breath from your nostrils and as the water runs from them, back to the roof of you mouth and down your throat you feel free. It doesn't burn. It is refreshing and cooling. You breath more water and it feels just like getting air. You open your eyes and gaze at the beautiful sights in front of you. The sliver fish glowing from the light of the moon under the dark waters, the beautiful corals and seaweed that moves in a royal manner with the flow of the sea. You feel hypnotized. You move your head upwards and look at the moon from underwater. You start swimming up to look at it better. You move your head outside of the water. The air hitting your wet skin hurts. The loud crickets that you couldn't hear before are now ruining the quietness. The light of the moon hurts your eyes. You get back underwater and start swimming again. You don't know where you are going. You are moving very far away from the shore but you don't care. You want to get lost in the deep ocean. You don't want to see a human again. You don't want to see the sunlight again. You want to hide from everything under the dark waters. It is almost like someone hypnotized you. You want to leave your family and friends and stay underwater forever. The though of putting you head outside the water scares you. You go deeper and deeper. The deeper you go the less light you see. When you reach the bottom of the sea you start moving the sand with your toes. It all feels natural. You stay there and never go outside again. Under the deep dark waters.
@@arid4699 wow this is so beautiful
@@arid4699 I would like to make a twist, like I met a mermaid underwater who is in essence the moon itself, glowing and serene, who embraces humans who can get past their ego in her underground commune.

Beautiful

YOU HAD TO BRING KAEDE IN ON THIS 😭
Thank you.
everyone is throwing things. plates, vases, furniture, anything. screaming, yelling and fighting can be heard from everywhere in the house. i get up and leave, nobody noticing i'm gone. i go to an empty, grassy field, and i fall backwards, arms stretched wide out. i go into a different world, a better world, my world. it's so peaceful, and quiet, with nothing but me and nature in the world. i get up from the grass and i start to dance as i hear this playing from a non-existent speaker, as if it's just playing everywhere, from nothing. i continue to dance as i make my way to the beautiful beach. i dance in the sand, in the water. with the fish and seaweed. i then make my way up to the clouds, as i then just sit, and stare off into the distance, nothing but nature ahead of me. i close my eyes and lay back onto the clouds, just relaxing and enjoying the world i have. i then open my eyes, and i'm in my bedroom. lying on my old mattress, with tears streaming down my face, i sit up, with a feeling of being alone. but this time, it's a sad loneliness. i'm once again not at peace, sitting on my bed, tears running down my face and neck, thinking about how i hate this world. a small smile then creeps up onto my face as i think of how peaceful and happy i was just a few moments ago, and how i don't have to be in this world. i then close my eyes, and fall back as i re-enter my dreamland, focusing on my world, and nothing else. blocking out reality, and enjoying the short time i still have here.
You mind is so precious and beautiful! This gave me goosebumps...
i hope you're doing better, dude. best of luck to you. 💛
Ooooookkkaaayyyyy....
damn thats crazy
tbh write a book, like you need to though, this story made me feel a kind of way iv never felt before :)
this is like a song from the void. with hints of all the things that once were and that could have been in another life. memories that never happened and visions into the future. this piece is simply outside of space and time. it's mystical and beautiful, cold and distant. just like the moon.
I love sunny days, they always make you happy! But, this song especially, reminds me of the depressing beauty that is a cloudy day. To be able to see the clouds in the sky and feel the dampness in the air…. It’s calming… to feel the breeze blow wet air in your face… it reminds you of times you’ve never had… it’s beauty at its finest.
IMAGINE: you jump from a cliff into the ocean to end your suffering. As soon as you hit the ocean, you realise there's something wrong. You feel as if you're floating underwater, you can breathe perfectly, you're not in pain, you're in awe of what's in front of you. A beautiful ocean, sunlight piercing through, you see the beauty of what you left behind. You finally regret what you did, and with full force, you try to reach surface again. After making it out, no one believes what you say, but deep down only you know what happened, and only you truly ever will.

@@thiskindasucks3536 this is the saddest try-hard argument I've ever seen
The composer who wrote this song was Claude Debussy and he didn’t have a perfect life like most famous composers but he use all of his feelings and thoughts and put them into his amazing pieces.
a lot of famous composers didn’t have a perfect life. in fact i think more than you can think. mozart for example was used by his father as a way to earn money. he was a bad alcoholic and was never completely stable.
I just read that as Claude Depussy and my brain just went along with it
Well many composers didn't have a good life too, it's very sad to know that, but their masterpieces already change the lives of many people
Nice run on sentence bro
Oh I love da bussy all I can think about is da bussy
POV: it's the 1950's and for your birthday you get a Polaroid for your birthday, you head out with your friends to the mall and buy a lot of clothing and take pictures with the camera, the clock strikes 4 hours before midnight you walk out onto the empty streets and head back home not long after your friends went back home, but on your way back you suddenly can't hear the sound of night anymore you look at your watch, a gift from you grandmother, it's 12 am, you were so occupied with looking at the watch that you don't notice the corvette in front of you, you get hit and everything fades to black , your hearing finally returns only to hear the sound of the car drive off, but you expected immense pain but instead you're just laying there in the pitch black darkness, your hearing finally cuts out for one last time but forever now, you lay there silently now being unable to speak, smell, see, talk or hear, you slowly start to develop sad old and dusty memories that play back and fourth back and fourth over and over again and again, the true horror about this is that the man who killed you drove off and didn't forgive himself for his crime, he himself is no longer human but nor is he considered a living corpse either, he is just a being that'll forever hold your lasting moments with him, and same with you.
Honestly, this sounds haunting yet ethereal. It feels like going into an abandoned house and finding out that the ghosts there are nice and aren’t out to get you.
Imagine being 90 years old, sitting alone with no one around. You sit down and listen to this and remember the bittersweet memories you once endured in your life. Imagine loving someone so deep that this allows you to feel their presence, as your souls dance under the starry night... just one last time. before you finally pass of back into the universe. or you just wake up and its a repeat cycle
Read the first word again. *Imagine*
Idk man, thats dark man. Dont wanna be 90, its game over at that point
Am I the only one who finds this disturbing but calming? Like if I were to hear this in an empty, dark corridor with only one door, and the building with its ceiling lights warning me of some type of danger. But, the gentle and offsetting music that echos throughout the corridor is telling me to trust it with open arms. Two entities are telling me to trust one of them, but I don’t see the point in doing so. Maybe I’m okay as is. Or am I? Maybe the door leads to more in quantity, but what if staying makes me only deal with one big issue? Is there maybe... a third option?
What did I just type?
I feel the same thing, it makes me feel kind of empty but nostalgic at the same time but honestly more empty
evil within be like
Dude exactly how I feel
Same
absolutely beautiful
It's 2am and you find yourself in an empty void made of shimmering blues, pinks, purples, and greens you float there not knowing what is happening this is playing from everywhere and nowhere you are filled with a strange calm as suddenly you start to drift towards a patch of silvery blue and you see that it's a different dimension where you can have everything you want this is your reward, you won the game and now you can sit back and relax as you're filled with a sense of fulfillment that you had lacked before you found yourself in the infinite cosmos of a broken reality, you are going home
Ok what the fucking fuck did I just put out into the internet
This is the only song that truly ends the war in my head. The only song that quietly plays in the background while I have no thoughts. The only song I can relax to. Love the quiet it brings my ever moving and every thinking self as I can just relax ❤
This gives me motivation to carry on Learning the piano and one day I’ll be able to play like this. ❤❤
Yeah, true. Same for me. The inner war go to sleep for awhile. This song put a frozen spell on my head and heart
Same here, it’s magical
This reminds me of all the nameless people lost to time, all the beautiful things they saw and people they loved and feelings they had, thrown off to drift into oblivion
I love reading everyone's interpretations of this, and what imagery it brings to mind
Here is a story just for you, I hope you enjoy it. You see long ago when the universe was just beginning you and I and all you know were stars and as the void began to fill up some stars started to fall until they landed on this here Earth and when the end of this Earth is to happen we should all hold no fear. You may be asking “why?” And the answer is simple, we shall all glow on that day and as we lift off we will find our new homes and lives and some how, some way, we will always find the ones we lost.
This song, especially this remix just brings out this sadness in me that I didn't know I had and I feel like crying. The song makes me feel like the end has come and that I am floating lifelessly in a void with a piano playing by itself, and tears falling down my cheeks as I float for the rest of eternity as the music resonates throughout the void, never ending with just memories to comfort me. I have looked the the comments and see the people have said the exact same thing as me but without the piano and I am fascinated how one song can make us think of the same thing. This song really is different from any other song I have ever listened too, it has so much emotion all put together into one song.
Clair De Lune creates such a unique atmosphere of both desperate melancholy and ethereal joy. The greatest highs and lows of our psyche, pain and serenity to create what can only be described as beauty.
Could y’all imagine what listening to Clair de Lune would be like if everyone already knew why Debussy made/thought of when he made this song?
That’s why I respect when artists leave songs for the people to interpret. It gives us chance to dive deep into our own feelings instead of being told how the artist felt and adds this layer of mystery (for a lack of a better word) to the song. So I’m thankful it isn’t widely known why Debussy made this song and I don’t think I ever wanna know.
@knivir art in all its forms is truly beautiful in that way for it's left to interpretation and it is up to you to give it meaning
I have never cried so much... I start to drift from “normal life” and let my mind wander. I start to think about everything sad, and realize how precious life is.
*You* are so precious! I wish I knew you..
I want to be ur friend
All i think about is space. Just floating through it with out a care in the world. This piece of music is like a trance it makes you feel a type of way you can describe. Im on my 8th mental breakdown and this piece puts my life back into the wrong place but still manages to fit so perfectly while listening to this.
i listen to this song so much because it reminds me of a day that i start to question whether it even happened or not.
i went to a piano recital, and a beautiful woman sat at a big black grand piano in a pitch black room that was only lit by a spotlight. when i say this woman was beautiful, i mean it. she looked stunning- she wore the longest, most elegant light pink dress i’d ever seen, and had the shiniest, long blonde hair. she wore white laced gloves, and she just sat there. she just sat at a stool playing the keys of the piano so carefully but care-freely. she was playing just for the sake of hearing it, not for anyone who was listening. eventually, she reached he end of the song and the light dimmed to black.
i don’t remember the rest of that day, and sometimes i question whether it even happened...
Sometimes I wonder if listening to this song is what dying feels like. Knowing your time is up and slowly sinking away..
“The pain in my heart is real! The sadness when I lose the people I love is real!”

Ah...shuichi...
Kaede 🤧

“I reject Hope!”
this song takes you to another world... a place thats empty, quiet... nothingness... but its calming. its welcoming. its a place to run to when you cant run anymore. because no matter how disturbing this place may appear... it brings you back. way back, to when you didnt even need to run. let that sink in
This song makes me cry everytime...
Me toooo 🖤🖤🖤 🙌🏻
Thing to do that will wear you out for sleep
1. Some quick exercise
2. Counting in your head
3. Weep for that which never was and never will be
Exercise raises your heartbeat, and pumps blood quickly to your muscles. If anything, that will keep you more awake and uncomfortable in bed.

¨Monsters are tragic beings, they are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy.¨
-Ishiro Honda
Everyone is kinda dark, philosophical and existential crisis, and I just imagine summer petals falling slowly on the ground and everything is green, the gentle breeze is kissing you and the time flows 10 times slower with this music
I want this to be played when my ashes are being thrown into the mountain tops of the Himalayas.
I wander through the halls of an old castle, long abandoned. As I pass through the decrepit tunnels, I can hear the music of a royal ball drifting above the fog.
I stumble upon a dining room. I do not want to cross the threshold, but a ghostly force pulls me forward. Suddenly the cobweb-covered place settings turn to the most beautiful gold. Piles of food stack the table. How hungry I am, I think. I pick up one decadent morsel from the plate in front of me and bring it slowly to my lips. I bite down and taste ash and sulfur.
The illusion is gone, but I don’t feel hungry anymore. I exit the dining room and continue down the corridor, stopping for a moment to observe the tapestry above my head. A great king stares back.
I blink and he’s standing in front of me now, crown shimmering in the moonlight. He offers me his hand. We waltz through the great hall. I can’t take my eyes off of him, he’s beautiful. Something behind me clatters and I look away from the king, only for a moment, but it’s long enough. The spell is broken. In my arms lay the tattered remains of a corpse so old even the bugs won’t touch it. I place the corpse gingerly on the staircase and readjust the crown atop its head.
I’m walking up the staircase, now, and it goes on forever. It feels like ages until I finally reach the top. I see a bridge, stemming out over the cliffside. I can see the jagged rocks that sit beneath the castle. The fog is too dense to see what’s on the other side of the bridge. Still, I walk forward, driven by curiosity. I make it to what seems to be the halfway point. It must be, since I can’t see the castle anymore. I turn back, and again the spell is broken. There is no bridge to support me, only the warm embrace of the rocks below.
I laid there for hours, caught by the rocks. I kept crying out, but no one came to help me. I fell asleep for a while, but I’m awake now. Maybe it’s another illusion, but it doesn’t hurt anymore.
edit: your comments have all been so sweet! thank you for your support:)
auburn hippie Can’t say I didn’t see that ending coming with the bridge, but damn. So touching yet horrifying at the same time, but ending with peace. That was a rollercoaster.
Looks like someone played Dark Souls. Or Demon Souls.
I usually don't like youtube comment stories/poetry but omg this was amazing
TheGhostsSoul this was more labyrinth inspired actually haha the only king I would dance with is my goblin king;)
I feel as if I have been transported to this land of silent imagination
this song played in my dreams once when i was 5. I didn't know that at the time. I feel like this song will let me look into a memory of the past life I might've once lived.
This feels like a gentle song that’d play as you finally reach your end, having lived happily, finally being released to heaven as you die peacefully.
The moonlight spills in from the tall windows in this large, empty ballroom. I sit, alone, in the center of the room. It's silent, and lonely, and I can't bear the thought of being so lonesome, so I think elsewhere. I close my eyes, breathe in deeply, and breathe out.
When I open my eyes, this melody begins to play, hauntingly beautiful. I turn to look at the sky through the windows, and my eyes are drawn to someone under the moonlight. They are tall and lithe, and pretty, in an otherworldly type of way. The moon's milky beams bathe the figure in white, making them seem ethereal.
"Dance with me?" They ask, in a voice that's as melodic as a lover's laughter, and soothing as fresh rainfall after harsh heat. They take my hand in theirs, and we spin and sway and fly to the music, free as the wind. I'm ecstatic, overjoyed. But I'm also confused. "Who are you?" I asked them, peering into their endless eyes. They fall quiet, before smiling,
"Someone who loves you."
The person didn't stay long, and the moonlight began to grow weaker and the twilight stronger. They stopped our dancing, and raised a hand to my cheek.
"Don't forget me. "
I try to smile, but tears threatened to fall from my eyes.
"How could you leave me when I'm so lonely? "
My stranger frowns, seemingly puzzled.
"I'm not leaving you."
They thumb away a tear, and kiss my forehead tenderly.
"As long as the moon shines, I'm with you. If you ever feel lonely, know that I've never abandoned you. If you feel scared, know that I love you, and I'd never want anything to harm you."
My stranger kisses me softly, before letting go, and walking back to the moonlit windows. I blink and my stranger is gone. The music is gone. I'm alone once more.
The moon is shining, casting a heavenly glow upon everything in sight.
I don't feel so lonely anymore.
this was amazing, you should be very proud
i think i'm crying?
Morgan Hinkle damn...
wait holy crap i forgot about this😭 thank you so much, this just boosted my confidence in my writing skills, thank you!

This song has always made my heart ache in the most painful ways. The notes seem like they are calling me, like they know me but I don’t know them. I always get a feeling I can’t quite describe when I listen to this song, it’s like looking back on things you’ve never experienced, like looking down the tunnels of other lives that all weave together like an intricate quilt. I wonder why I get this feeling, I suppose I’ll never know.
I feel the exact same way
pleaaseeee help i feel like that too and the sensation is so strong ive become depressed
this is so beautiful
It feels like something abandoned
Story of this sound:
It’s 12am at night and you and your friends are sleeping over in the living room. You decide to put on music and this song pops up so you feel relaxed and feel so many nostalgia thoughts in your head and feel like you’re in a external universe where your in space and exploring the universe. It’s 1am and you try and fall asleep with your friend but you don’t feel tired and get a snack from the kitchen and keep on listening to it more and you and your friend finally fall asleep from this peaceful soundtrack. Like at 2:40 and 9:23 you feel yourself falling asleep in outer space.
This is so calming and kinda horror listening to it at night, but I’m glad I found it and can now put it on repeat tonight for 1 hour straight.

*remembers how much he/she matters :)*
I am on a carousel by the lake. My grandmother is holding me and my grandfather is laughing and waving. It’s 1941 and the breeze is blowing off of the lake through our hair. My grandmother kisses me and blows a kiss to my grandfather. He waves and blows a kiss to us. He is crying knowing he will ship out to the South Pacific to fight in the next few days. We are all scared that he may not return- but he does! I am lost in happiness, innocence, and the the joy of being a loved and naive child in a moment I wish I could go back to daily. Our love for each other was so that it hurt to be a part. A time of happiness, fear, and unexpected future with WII beginning. Life went on and they both lived to 92 with me being their only grandchild. I had to say goodbye and bury my best parents, grandparents, and friends. A piece of my heart is still back on that carousel from years before. Beautiful- played at my grandmother’s and grandfather’s funerals and I could envision their souls leaving and kissing me goodbye as they went to heaven. Happy sad -miss them so. Keep up the beautiful, inspirational, and innovative music!
Dustin D knight wow this has brought me chills and i’m now crying
Anna H-E -Thank you. It too brings me to tears. But tears of joy and sadness! Mostly great memories last.

this is so beautiful omg
why do have to attack me like that...i was moved🤧🤧
This song makes me feel as if there is a me another me that is still me but is better than me in every way but just because they are better doesn’t mean they are the best because a key feature they have is that they can give and give more and give everyone a smile and never get one back but why would they need a smile for why did they even give in the first place. It must have been to gain something but no that wasn’t the case at all they simply wanted to see another person smile, slowly they’re own face began to smile as well but when there’s no one to copy no one to make happy that person will also rehearse those feeling in almost a state of defiance they try to change themselves only to realize that it is hard to change and sometimes you need someone to help you change or someone to copy or maybe even something maybe all they wanted to do was feel maybe they thought that encouraging happiness onto others would instill happiness in them but for what does a man care for happiness when he has yet to “feel” for what is feeling something without happiness, what is rain without sunshine, what is success without failure, I sometimes believe the human mind doesn’t need positive reinforcement it just needs assurance, if what they did has had a cause or maybe if what they didn’t do has had an effect, possible, quite possibly all we want to know is if we have even done anything and not exactly accomplished anything but moreover felt something because “the truth is no one can be happy without feeling something first just as no one can do something or achieve something without have first not done anything0
I am falling in love with this style☺️. The original is already beautiful. But this ethereal version is amazing 😻
This song will be playing in the depths of the galaxy somewhere
Whenever I listen to this it reminds me of staring at the moon for hours when I was younger and wishing that time would go faster and I’d be older 16 years later I only wish I had held on to those years a little longer and loved the moon a little harder
So beautiful
just love imagining that after countless years when every commenters here are long gone, only the video itself will be buried deep in the algorithm
someone will find this, and go through all the comments left by their ancestors... wondering how we lived back in the days and admiring this amazing little link between us:)
Such beautiful comment :)
And the moon said: I was here before you & all your past generations looked at me & left the earth, now is your turn.
This makes me feel a weird tugging feeling in my heart it’s like as if I don’t want to let go of something, it’s such a strange feeling
Doesn't sound so romantic but it's the way debussey spaced the notes. Each note feels perfect and you know exactly what the next note is - but he makes you wait for it. Each note is delayed and creates and inner tension as we wait for it to arrive and then the warm satisfied feeling when it finally does. It creates that feeling of longing love. Looking back on someone you loved deeply. He was a master and this is his master piece. Truly from another realm
it’s the 1800s, you and your best friend are gliding elegantly across the dance floor when you stare into his eyes finally realizing who he is and what a great man he is and how kind he is to you, all the music slows down and all the other couples seem to blur into nothing as you keep your eyes fixed on him, his eyes fixed on you. He’s always loved you, you just never saw it until now. You can’t even hear the music anymore or see anyone else except him, you never want this moment to end. You and him dance until the band leaves while he holds on to you tight and exchange shy glances. This is true love.
Kinda gay ngl, seems sus

Amore
In an empty theatre
That once held life
Proud acts of grandeur
Once preformed gracefully on the now empty stage
And yet
The entire place still echoes
Still reverberates
With the sound of those long forgotten acts
Almost as if the stage remembered
every character's lines
Every song's notes
If you close your eyes
You can still hear the songs
Nothing but a distant echo
As if from another time and place
But it will always play
For those willing to listen
One more time
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING IF YOU ARE SAD OR GET SAD A LOT
as I fall asleep, I turn this on a small speaker and turn on my led lights, usually yellow or red and just ponder out my floor to ceiling windows that are met with my backyard, and behind it many cities. I just look at the lights and remember how lucky I am to be alive. No matter how hard it gets, theirs always some times that you just feel truely happy. That’s the point In life. To enjoy it. To embrace everything around you, and think, their are 8 billion people on this planet and only one of me. If I were to go, that’s one less me. No one can replace you. No matter how much you think your family, friends, strangers hate you, they would be so so fucking sad if you left, they would cry. Because they don’t know how much they miss someone until they’re gone. If you ever feel like it’s all going wrong and you want to end it all, let me help you. Dim the lights and sit somewhere. Alone. Turn on your favorite song and look around. What do you see? Write it down. What do you smell? Write that down. What do you hear? Most importantly, what do you feel. Fear? Anger? Sadness? Now, look at your biggest insecurity. And say, this is me. And I’m fucking proud of me. Because I am me, and theirs no one else like me. Take a few deep breathes and go do something you love. You love playing basketball? Go play basketball. Love shopping? Go shopping. Love watching movies? Go watch a movie. Do anything you enjoy. Maybe meet up with a friend. And, if you are suicidal and no one knows, I know it’s easier said than done, but seriously go tell someone. Please please. It will be so much better, trust me. If the person you tell doesn’t believe you, keep telling people until you find someone who does. Please. And, if you are suicidal and are planning to do it, call suicide hotline. If you are a child being abused at home, call cps. Now to summarize, you are a amazing human being. You are capable of so much and you are truly loved.
Lmao now I’m mildly depressed and this doesn’t really help shit sorry guys
I imagine myself underwater in the deep sea. Lonely, peaceful but also scary because I have a phobia of the deep sea.
Sameee
haha though i love the sea i would be a little scared too
I’ve always been obsessed with the deep-sea it does seem like a sort of otherworldly silent mysterious calm place at the same time been totally terrifying.
SUBNAUTICA, look it up lol
@@buzzardbeatniks yeah same
This sound makes me want to desperately grasp the childhood I once had, elementary school with friends, no worries about life, and the ignorance of family secrets, only to find the life I am living now- which is in fact, much different.
I'm crying
That hit a little too hard....you good fam??
@@fudge6999 I'm good, still miss it but life's too short to stay stuck so I gotta keep going you know? Might as well make the most out of it bwahaha.
yet still, the memory persists, creeping up the back of your ribcage like blooming ivy. the inner rings of a tree trunk. not gone; just blanketed in new layers, held steady, held safe. it stirs in the wake of calm music and late nights and sunny mornings, as if to call out. maybe, as if to reassure you. you have known beauty and love and you will know it again.

"We become what we behold, we shape our tools and our tools shape us"
My mom used to play this song on piano, and I'd lay underneath the piano and just look out the window. Sometimes I wonder if I'll get that feeling ever again, where for a minute there was nothing else to worry about.
This song can be creepy and heavenly depending on where you are
someday...everything is gonna be okay.
thanks :]💗

@@anormalceilingfan7905 Close your eyes🎶
@@yooyoo2371 you'll be here soon
Even if it takes death, I know that, because of this song, there will be a point where everything is alright, maybe for a brief moment, but it will be there… waiting
This music makes me feel like I’m falling super slowly from the sky, and I’m admiring the surroundings before I hit the ground. Just as I was about to hit the ground, it went dark. Then I saw a super bright light, this was it, I died peacefully and now I’m in heaven. It really was more beautiful than I imagined…………
Read while listening once.
You're sitting alone in pitch blackness you can't hear anything but your breathing and the song playing
The song gets faster
You see a light
You see a familiar hand reach out to you
You take the hand
The music get quite and slower
The hand disappeared
Now you sit in the darkness alone, wishing you can leave but you can't.
You're alone
“Mommy. Where do we go when we die?”
*The little girl said, laying in her bed about to go to sleep.*
“We go high in the sky. ‘Till we reach the stars. If you go high enough, you’ll be some where safe, and nice.”
“But mommy, why do we go there?”
“Have patience sweetie.”
*The little girls tears dripped from her cheek.*
“Yeah. Maybe we do go somewhere nice..”
*The little girl said, as she held her moms picture in her hand.*
thats deep
This made me cry. 😢😢
Damn-
The tears
"Have patience, sweetie." IS SUCH A GOOD LINE OH MY GODS W H A T
AY NO ITS TO LATE FOR THIS
When you're listening to this, imagine you and your crush running through the dark woods lit only by the heavy moonlight, leaping over creeks and stealing glances at each other. Imagine dodging tree after bush after stump after log on a path to no where, or everywhere. Imagine sharing soft smiles in the thick woods, where no where can find you and no will try, because you're sure it's dream. Escaping from nothing or everything, only for the feeling. Climbing up a tall tree to watch dawn approach, until you finally share a kiss filled with longing and melancholy. When you pull apart, the sun arrives, and you float up back into the aether, never to return to this mysterious forest that might not exist.
wow this is actually so accurate and good! :O
i love this but ur pfp- 😭
this sounds like looking back to all the memories you made with a loved person who passed away a long time ago. how everything seemed perfect back then. now everything that's left are the memories
Tomorrow is my last day of going to school being a freshman in high school due to exams. But the day after tomorrow is the official last day for everyone else.
Man I am really going to miss the seniors, the memories that were made, all of the breakthroughs, and everything else. 🥺❤️✨
