Prev track: • Godspeed You Black Emp...
Next track: • Godspeed You Black Emp... - เพลง
One day in 1999 8 guys woke up and proceeded to create the best song of all time
Literally
How is this even possible
I love how his voice breaks and he's ready to cry when he says : they don't sleep anymore in the beach
Very emotional track
@@Daponics89 amen
Ok
I love it because I don't think he's ready to cry. I don't think it's a sad story at all - he's just a sweet old man with a creaky voice. The band pulls this dirty musical trick with that guitar chord at just the right moment, and then suddenly this line gives us goosebumps like it's the saddest thing in the world.
to me it sounds more likes he's saying it cheerily, his voice is just shaking because he's laughing a little as he's saying it
When the doctor says you have 23 minutes left to live
No seriously, this is definitely the song I want to play right before I die
Yeah that'd make a nice requiem to my death
WORD !
Put on "The Irishman".
This or earthmover by HANL.
To me this whole phrase "they don't sleep anymore on the beach" is very heavy for the reason that we just heard almost a minute of a man reminiscing his youth, you can feel he has good memories, and this sends us all back to all the good times we had. We all have good childhood memories, we can all relate. And he gets lost in the past, apparently remembering even more about this place where he spent a part of his childhood, and then comes the phrase, a return to reality, and the realisation that this time is over. Not only that Murray Ostril is now an old man who doesn't sleep on the beach, but also "they" don't sleep anymore on the beach. The new generation will never live an experience like he did, making it a thing of the past forever.
And i cant stop thinking about Murray Ostril's sleep on the beach, how it's a finished thing and all memories of it will be gone when he passes, just like we and all traces we ever existed are washed away by the tides of time and i see the first lights of the morning as I tell myself "don't think about it, sleep"
Which is why I think this song is named sleep.
Sleep, as in reach the state of mind numbness where you do not think about the fact we are all doomed to be forgotten, the state of mind where such an idea is tolerable. Which is why the music is so calm, but breaks into crescendo at times, because such a state is not possible to maintain constantly, and we all scream at this harsh fate during some pointless rebellion against the inevitable way things are. Then it ends, then all things end, then the song ends.
I'm a 36 year old man and I can't listen to this track without breaking down sobbing, and I think you just summed it up. They don't sleep anymore on the beach.. Just hearing him say that, in that voice, with all of those obvious memories behind it, breaks me completely.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Titus 2 (KJV)
11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
This can also be interpreted as, "They don't sleep anymore... on the beach". Meaning they don't sleep, they don't dream anymore.
your reductionism, however thick, can't encapsulate this work
this song makes me feel like the loneliest human in the world, and it's beautiful beyond words.
Wow ,Honestly that is exactly how it made me feel
strange I felt that way walking down the street today and this song came into my head.
Loneliness is a very useful thing to be honest. When you don't have shit to do, you begin to think. That can be a very good thing at times. Not always though. For example, I am a total idiot.
Very Fast you're cool tho
This is exactly how GYBE makes you feel in general... absolutely astonishing
They played this last night at The Observatory, soon as everyone heard the first word from the beginning monologue a wave of cheers and applause filled the room.
I remember going to see Godspeed for the third time. I brought a friend with me who'd never seen them. He kept saying "oh I hope they play Sleep, it'll be so awesome if they play Sleep" I said "They won't, they never play it" but when we arrived Sleep started off and we were both like "holy shit!" The whole audience cheered and we hugged eachother. Awesome moment.
Chills reading this alone
18:20 your future self is watching you right now through memories
i think this may the best comment i have ever seen in my entire life
...And is sad. Sad, because he says: if you'd spent more time with your loved ones, I'd be happy. But I can change that. I will. Thanks for your comment.
goddamn what an imagery
you're dead inside if this song doesn't make you shiver
18:20 makes me shiver everytime i listen to this song
always give me goosebumps, this piece of musical wizardry is just amazing
I've cried at the 17th minute.
THEY F F DONT SUV SUCK DICK ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you doing after 11 years?
I first listened to this song roughly a month after my mother passed away of breast cancer. I’ve heard of the band before and how revered they were but haven’t actually listened to any of their music. This song blew me away and made me bawl my eyes out, but the whole time I was listening I couldn’t stop thinking about my mother. Reminiscing on all the great times I’ve had with her and how beautiful of a person she was. I felt her energy surrounding me with the each passing note. Listening to this song to me feels like a portal into reconnecting with her spirit. I remember my mother telling me that she will continue to visit me in the afterlife and my mother haunts this song in the most beautiful way possible. No better way than through art. This will forever be my favourite song. Thank you GY!BE, I love you mom.
how truly wonderful that music says so much without a single word... thank you for sharing this
That was beautiful thank you for sharing, hope you're doing better homie ❤
sounds like a thousand souls are wailing
strikes a chord today
I was born in Coney Island, and am sad that I never got a chance to sleep on the beach... things change.
I slept on the beach once lol . Me and my friends were looking for an appartement to rent next to the beach . We didn't find one because they were all full so we just slept on the beach
I think you still hace a chance.
I grew up in the post Soviet time in the post Soviet country, and there would be a whole bunch of abandoned panel buildings and factories everywhere. I live in US now, but the gloom is with me forever. And this music captures it unlike anything else.
This song has been my comfort song for probably over a year now. Whenever I feel anxious or sad or stressed I turn it on and play it on repeat. I could listen to it forever. It brings a sense of melancholy and nostalgia at the same time and it gives me shivers. I disappear when it plays and it gives me a sense of perfect calmness that nothing else can give me. It’s like they took a feeling no one can describe and turned it into a masterpiece that transforms the mind. It’s perfect.
It truly is. Another one of those is "Mogwai - Take Me Somewhere Nice", in case you don't know that one. My go-to-song when I get in a difficult mental spot.
it helps me as well :)
the drum beat that starts at 18:20 is wonderful
Yes squared. Simple but absolutely perfect.
yeah the ghost notes gives the song grit and structure while not being overly distracting
18:19 makes me feel everything is going to be all right
Hopeful
...it really shouldn't
@@orbitalbutt6757 art is interpretive
Tells you to snap out of it and live life.
No doubt. Beginning at 18:00 is GSYBE's all time peak. A cross between Island era King Crimson and the best of shoegaze.
William Doyle 5:30 in like antennas to heaven is the peak for me
islands is great!!! Name more brilliant shoegaze?
Broken windows Locks of love
Swans too, like Soundtracks for the blinds
everything so perfect
Amazing how something without lyrics can describe how I feel so much
what do you "feel"?
Listen to silver mountn zion, band with the same people and excellent music only it's got people singing in it
Haha, words are very, unnecessary. )
@@wilhemschmitt1349 Yo I actually love their post rock. Could've Moved Mountains hits hard for me
@@guydude439 Nice Could've Moved Mountains and the whole album is very good
I wish I could listen to this for the first time again
Someday, I'll go to Coney Island, listening to this, and sleep.
on the beach i hope
sleep overnight?
They used to
Dont get lost
Let us know when it will happen, and we will celebrate it with you, sleeping beside you on the beach in our thoughts
I don’t even deserve to listen to this
Why? I think everyone deserves to get to listen to amazing stuff like this!
guess the band think everyone deserve
this band is out of this planet.....
human essence, bro
This is thr best discovery since humans discovered fire
@@ralphk.j7809 true and first comment = true
It really is
But still they sleep at the beach
@Iconoclast12100 The voice is of a man named Murray Ostril and he's simply talking about the good old days where things were simple and people seemed to trust each other more. On its own I'm sure it wouldn't stand out; all of us have heard our grandparents talk about the old days, but in the middle of an album comprised of mostly anti-capitalist messages it stands out quite a bit which is why I'm not surprised people are moved by it so much.
As for the point of the album, it's up for argument.
They don't sleep anymore on the beach...
+Bendage yeah huh
+Bendage Let's change that
Lets sleep all of us on the beech... meet one day with sleeping mats in some crazy location with amazing music looking all night to the skies and disperse in music!!! :)
Lets sleep all of us on the beech... meet one day with sleeping mats in
some crazy location with amazing music looking all night to the skies
and disperse in music!!! :)
I feel so hard at that. Such a line of longing and nostalgia. It's very beautiful. I wanna give him a hug
This is the logical conclusion to music.
mr carpenter the organist is that you?
Sharkbait Master whatcha mean?
He means this song is good or the best.... The conclusion. Crescendo. The result. Solution.
... the end
There didn't have to be a decision. It was a conclusion.
This song grabs you by the soul. In my opinion, one of the greatest songs ever made
Not a lot of singing in this “song”tho
@@pinkfloyddwc this is post rock bro, it doesnt need singing
@@pinkfloyddwc classical music didn't have singing in it either, does that make it bad?
@@pinkfloyddwc This song is better than any song that has singing in it ngl, the instruments speak a thousand words anyways
@@narwhal3547 what he really means was a "song" tends to have lyrics to sing into. and instrumental music would be called s "tune" I think cmiiw
there are two things in the world that are 23 minutes long and cause me immense joy; any chapter of Seinfeld and this song.
if i had to choose what to play before dying, i'd definitely play this song one last time.
i have the same thought.
This is the first song by Godspeed You Black Emperor that I've ever listened to. I closed my eyes and let my back straighten, like I was meditating, and cried for most of the song. It doesn't follow reason - music very rarely makes me that emotive, unless the piece in question bears personal meaning or an associated memory. That was beautiful.
Amanda Grainger I recommend 'we drift like worried fire' to continue your meditation - works for me every time😁👌👍👍...
Amanda Grainger luciferian towers is their only positive album. My favorite of theirs thus far. Despite all of skinny fists being a quarter of a hair behind.
i only listen to this song on fetal position while i bawl my eyes out
A comment from Fishmans - 'Long Season' video brought me here. Check that out too - you'll probably like it =)
When you see a song's length and it's 23:17 thats overwelming, but when you listen to it and it's over befor you know it.
and yet somehow keeps going on, and on, and on inside your head; and keeps coming back; as if, it never really ends, does it?
true 😊
Everyone is talking about the last five minutes but around 4:00 that silent guitar is just hitting the spot for me, then the build up into around 6:30 oh my god...
yeah you know what's going on, love that part.
this whole song is so perfect
I feel like this community has changed, Most of these are from years ago. I hope everyone who commented is okay. I feel for all of y’all, this music is something from somewhere we’d have to die to know. It’s 430am and is not okay but it’s something my life is in desperate need of. CLEAR MY SOUL
I sincerely hope you are ok nowadays.
Godspeed is niche. And they don't flood the market with advertising so any new listeners are finding out about them through a friend recommending them. Could be one reason for this community's stagnation.
Another possibility is that things just fade. I was looking up Elvis Costello on a whim and realized I had no idea he ever recorded critically acclaimed music, but he did. Several albums. Everything has it's time and place and eventually fades from cultural consciousness in favor of the new. It's not right or wrong, it just is.
We should all be grateful to have this band in whatever capacity, and grateful to be able to express our admiration.
I hope you're okay too, friend.
I have nothing to say. Except, maybe, thank you for your care.
This song holds a special place in my heart. I've always listened to the first 2 songs of this album (Storm and Static) since i've known this album ( 2 years) but this song and Antennas to Heaven for some reason never made me interested. Fast forward to last week and i'm depressed, high on LSD, failing in everything (college, friends, family, work, etc) and feeling trapped like i have never felt in my life. It didn't help to realize that a lot of my current situation was my own fault and i felt worst because of this. So as high as i was i started looking for records to listen to and i remembered this album. "Storm" made me wept with tears of joy but the end of the song made me remember that there are worst things up ahead. "Static" slowly unraveled and left me paralyzed when it ended. So far so good. They were the songs that i've known and love for over 2 years. Then this track came in. The slow building that starts at 1:08, note after note described me a man defeated, unable to fight back, remembering every little fucked up thing, every sin, every mistake and all the anguish he felt (that i felt) given his situation. The melody became intolerable until it reached 9:25 . The song takes an unexpected turn and suddenly it feels like a weight has been lifted. Suddenly life doesn't feel that heavy and memories start come back. Good memories, of your friends, your family, your first love. That is until the minute 13:00 and you realize that memories aren't good enough, that you want to improve your situation and become a better person. The song takes a break and at 16:00 comes one of most life affirming experiences that i've ever had. It eruptes with joy and you can't help but smile all the way through till the end. When the track ended i felt the urge to search in the internet for opinions of this track, to tell everybody to listen to this album, to not miss out in this experience, maybe someone who felt the same might have some fun reading this comment. This album and this track in particular will always be an integral part of who i am, of course i didn't solve my problems but it will always remind me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I was going to type out a bit of a tale of my first introduction to this band (this song to be exact), but I read yours, and I feel you completely. There are no words to truly explain the nonsense of this band (again, or this song to be exact) and the feels you get as you ride along this roller coaster of highs and lows over the 20+ min songs these true gods provide for our insignificant little ears.
ur comment deserve more like ^^
underrated comment
I feel you. I was depressed af that I thought about suicide more than anything else and then I listened to this masterpiece. Monhiem was the saddest and darkest piece of music ever to me. However, broken windows and locks of love was like my salvation. I felt like heaven was hugging me whispering "It's ok, go on, don't give up"
I hope you're doing well at the moment 💙
Cheers for reminding me to order some acid off the dark web
The last 5 minutes of this song are absolutely beautiful
I love the whole song :D
SunGazer osan Yeah same I think it holds up as the best song on the album, dont know how they manage to keep it this interesting for the whole 20 minutes
agreed :)
13:00 - 23:18 my friend :)
not sure how to say this, but the last 5 minutes remind me of the movie, Sunshine.
Listening to one of the greatest songs of all time, 14 seconds left to fully conclude the song
"Writing's not that easy. Luckily, grammarly can help!"
Like a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.

@@grug2085 yeah I feel you. fk ads especially when listening to this masterpiece
it's like falling in love this track, soft at first, and then all your wildest feelings emerge and overwhelm you completely...
this music makes me realized that i need to enjoy where I am, what I am. Before its too late and no one will ever recognized how it feels like being in that situation.
I’m here listening to this song in 2023. Hope your life is going well :)
Hearing all this chat about 21:00 makes me extremely exited, and I think this is the best song I've ever heard at 6:00. I must be in for a damn good ride.
Monheim is my favorite*, something about the energy
***** static just became my favorite. Mostly the atmosphere.
tell me what emotion makes you transmit the end of broken windows is beatiful
literally one of the greatest bands in the history of music
The 3rd movement is just beyond words, the type of music that echoes throughout the whole cosmos
I slept on a beach once. Rode up near the Great Bear Dunes with some beautiful, nice, girl. We hopped a fence at a state park. Trespassing on miles of gorgeous shorelines. Mid-spring, too early to really be sleeping outside, but just close enough to the frosts of winter where you just need to be outside again. And you'd suffer to just get the freedom again. There were animals tracks all along the coast. We ate fish on a brush-fire. The waves were deafening in the otherwise quiet of night. We got closer, and we slept. And then awoken by a violent storm. We scattered back into the car, running for a while, and climbing the dune and chain-link. We laughed for a while, drying off all too slowly in my little sedan. And it was glorious. Sleeping on the beach is badass.
If you haven't slept on a beach, you should really consider it.
What a beautiful story, something you could find in a book or even in a movie, i realy loved it, living it must have been amazing!
18:18 is heartbreakingly beautiful
+DAD fandango i see drummers having an orgasm... lol
Yes it is
i lost count of how many times i cried to this section
DAD fandango q
Profile picture matches it
18:20 to end - some of the finest drumming I've ever heard
It's not just a song, it's a story.
7 years later, what’s your story? What have you seen in the last 7 years?
@@jimmulator3902 Went to school, got multiple degrees, got wife'd up, got the home, everything I though I needed to do. Nothing really changed. Still find myself coming back to this song, on rare occasions, on lone nights, wondering what it's all about.
Kyler Fisher have you have a clue on what it is? i find myself wondering what is it as well. i feel lost and confused like is there a plan? are we by ourselves? i like to think not even though i dont believe in a higher spirit. whats do you think? what is it all about?
@@redpanda900 7 years have past but you still comeback to gybe!, i'm glad when i see the old comment have comeback 'cuase everytime i read an old comment i wonder what is he/she doing nowadays, is they still alive ? forgot an id ? and most of them never comeback, that why i'm so glad to see you ♥
@@joemama-ny3hl There is a plan, everything happens for a reason.
possibly the best song to exist. Monheim is a testament to the potential of minimalist music, Broken Windows is different from it yet pretty much pure beauty at the same level
Best part starts at 0:01 and it never ends. It just makes everything so much better
Nah! 0:00
Nada en mi vida se ha sentido tan bien como la primera vez que escuché esta cancion ajs
@@youtubeisevil truuueeeeee
I used to listen to this song a lot circa 2009-2010. It has definitely aged well. gives me chills down my spine.
y'all are talking about crying at 18:00 but meanwhile I was already tearing up by 11:50
damn, im weak as hell since i teared up a single minute into the song
everytime 21:00 starts, I just have to close my eyes and smile
18:00 for me
Both 18:00 and 21:00 make me smile but 21 makes me sob from joy
Tears in My eyes it's is beatiful , amazing
Man, to think one day they slept on the beach and didn't realize it would be their last. Almost like how you once played outside with your friends not knowing then that it would be the last time
This band inspires me to become a better musician.
Keep going!
have you become a better one? i hope you did. praying!
I want to marry this song.
One of the best pieces of art ever created. That crescendo at 21:00 is just the greatest thing.
This is still the greatest piece of music in all of history.
timeless
I have the same profile picture on facebook (^^^)
hey me from 3 years ago
Timeless
Hi
hey you from 5 years ago
This song is a caleidoscope for your soul.. magnificent.
this is seriously one of the most inspirational songs I've ever heard
I wish to find a woman with the same music taste like me. That would be very wonderful!
The sentiment that I pick up from the monologue in the beginning is that western countries (more specifically America, in my personal experience) have simply become too socially hostile for you to be as publicly vulnerable as people could afford to be in the past.
It's not helped by hostile urban design. The suburban experiment and accompanying social propaganda atomized everyone and led them to reject any sort of communal solidarity. Not only that, it made walking (the most natural form of human transportation) unenjoyable and more of a hassle than traveling by car. Car based neighborhoods discorage the type of walking based experiences and business that places like Coney Island depended on.
@@fluidthought42 And, worst of all, gun violence. The angry, the distraught, the outraged, the deluded and misled, all can possess weapons with the power of killing someone ten times over. And then they're pointed toward targets to use those weaponized emotions on.
After all that all I can say is that I hope that, one day, we can all sleep on the beach overnight once again.
I slept on the beach on the new year's eve. All I could think about was about this tune.
I slept on the beach in a tent two weeks ago in Delaware. Had to stay hidden from cops and security though.
Whenever I feel like shit I just listen to this and feel good again.
"they don't sleep anymore on the beach" Gets me everytime.
I like the fact how this song appeared in my suggestions out of the blue in a period when i actually needed that. I also like the fact that this song talks about youth and at the same time is 23 minutes long. I don't know if it's a coincidence but 23 is when I feel my youth kinda ended. So many good memories up until then. But I'm still gonna make some good new ones :')
I’ve heard a lot of songs. This is one of the best I’ve ever heard.
Just found this band... This is an immensely emotional piece of work, I feel nostalgic for experiences I've not been a part of, I feel emotions from memories that aren't mine. The entrancing noise seemingly turns into a sort of distorted operatic vocals filled with despair of a happy time long ago, when everything wasn't in a state of abysmal chaos and disorder. This is what the true magic in music is, sadness is sometimes a good feeling.
The best song of all the times.
Corey Feldman - We Wanted Change says otherwise
This song, I was once playing it loud in my house and it lured a pothead neighbor from about three houses down to ask me "who is that playing?" Said he really liked it. Gave him Godspeed You Black Emperor and had to repeat it to him twice. But he really wanted to know. This song lures people in.
This is a piece that really builds your soul and your existence,
perfectly reflects the feeling of the ups and downs that define our
lives and the seminal conquest at the end of the journey.
This piece helped me several times, and still helps me when I need it, no medicine will be as effective as this, do not waste your time on artificial solutions, put a phone in your ears, close your eyes, drink your favorite beverage while enjoying, forget about what is around you, create your own reality and renew your energies with what you will hear, simple like this ... yes, it's that simple, believe me !!
I saw GY!BE for the second time last year here in London, in September. They played 3 dates, and I only found out about them late so was only able to go to one of the 3 dates. Because of that feeling of missing out, I saw they were playing in Stockholm in April of this year, and I immediately booked a ticket and a flight and went with just a backpack, crashing a friend's couch. Midway into their set, we heard the "It was Coney Island...." vocals and the whole room went absolutely insane, screaming and cheering. They played the 'Monheim' movement, and it brought tears to my eyes hearing it. That was my third time seeing them live. I very much hope it wasn't my last (I still want to hear "Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls" live)...every time I see them, I feel like it's more than music I'm experiencing. It's hard to describe...it's almost like it's a philosophy for life, made into music. I go somewhere else, mentally - only a few bands have taken me to that almost purely meditative state through different means. Swans, Sunn O))), Spiritualized, Lightning Bolt. I've introduced friends to this band via this song, and they always have some kind of emotional reaction to it, very often tearing up.
London england?
@@areakastudios6704 Yeah
I listened to this in a house that overlooked the entirety of Sheffield and cried. This song shows that even a place as large and great as sheffield, in time, will shrink down to almost nothing. Fucking ace band
This song is an emotional rollercoaster. You hold back the tears 18:05 but then at 18:19 you break.
I never get tired of hearing GY!BE material, always sounds new and fresh.
The last ten minutes of this song are pretty much unmatched
the haunting collapse of a high trust society now reduced to nihilism and narcissism.
fucking exactly
This band is def in my top artists of all time. So far I’ve got:
.
Radiohead
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Sigur Ros
Björk
Listen to My bloody Valentine
Mogwai! :) "Take Me Somewhere Nice" to start, then the whole "Happy Songs for Happy People"-album. Or Opeths Damnation.
Either way, Radiohead, Sigur Rós and GY!BE are perfect picks. Never got into Bjork.
@@waschkarte3989 mogwai is awesome!
Seven miles jorney
those and pretend are my favourite artists , you should give em a chance
i dont know why, and i cant explain it either but this song is so beautiful its just so amazing its one of the more emotive songs ive ever heard in my life and the fact that this is an instrumental makes me like it more, thank you godspeed you . . .
the entire song is amazing... the best GY!BE song so far...

best song that has been revealed so far...

I agree.
@@orbitalbutt6757 and the ten minutes before the ten last minute of that track
this drummer is just level 100 epicness
there are two of em, that's probably part of it. Bands with two drummers for the win
It was Coney Island, they called Coney Island the playground of the world
There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Coney Island when I was a youngster
No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous.
Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing...
you see
And, uh, I still remember in my mind how things used to be, and...
uh, you know, I feel very bad
But people from all over the world came here...
from all over the world...
it was the playground they called it the playground of the world...
over here
Anyways, you see, I...
uh...
you know...
I even got, when I was very small, I even got lost at Coney Island, but they found me...
on the...
on the beach
And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight.
they don't do that anymore.
Things changed...
you see
They don't sleep anymore on the beach
the first time i heard this song it made me cry my fucking eyes out.
but that's just a testament to the musical weight these guys throw around. you know your music is majestic when it can move grown adults to tears.
This song always makes me think of the movie Requiem for a Dream for some reason. Both this album and the movie are masterpieces.
Because of Coney Island, probably
Quade Carter idk how this song could remind you of that movie. this song isn't garbage
This always seems to get under my skin, always. I can be away from it for months and then come back to it again.... this is just one of the most amazing track I ever heard! truly amazing
18:19 my soul left my body
Is My favorite moment in the music
This song is like an actual nights sleep. The last 5 minutes are the sweetest, warmest, most awesome moments of your existence…but then you finally gotta wrench yourself out of bed
one of the best music ever made
I've listened to this song so many times, and every time I get something knew out of it. Like just now, I'd never noticed in the fifteenth minute very quiet, very faint, incomprehensible vocals in the background. Awesome :)
this is seriously the best music has ever sounded
I've listened to this so many times in the past week that it just plays in my head now even when I'm not listening to it.
2 weeks listening this song every night, I can't stop!
I love the hell out of this song, but the more I listen to it, the more creeped out I get from the man talking at the beginning. There's like a hint of emptyness in his voice that give me goosebumps. Anyone else agree?
I don't hear emptiness. Only sadness and a sense of longing for what's long passed.
The no time restrictions really help in absolutely falling in love with this track, thanks for uploading it.
I'm back here again and listening to this song after my US History Midterm Exam. The only reason I got the question about Coney Island correct is because of this song. You introduced me to post rock, made one of my favorite albums of all time, and even help me with school. What can you guys not do? :)
What was the question? :)
UmbwembweTumwemumbweKuemuvenveOssasVEVO Hmmmm, for some reason, Theodore Roosevelt comes to mind, but perhaps that was just a different question on the test. I'm a university student now and I made that comment back when I was a junior in high school, so I don't quite remember the question now. :|
@@konytookme1670 did you ever manage to remember the question?
@@zodismegalame I'd doubt
hey man do you still at university?
18:20 = heaven
agreed
i once looked myself in the basement with an ounce of speed with this track on repeat for 2 days painting complete bollocks on the walls.... it helped me
jebstock thank you
jebstock I smoke and listen to this shit you sound like a total fking addict
This song sounds so defiant. Like overcoming some great struggle fucking awesome.
It’s the struggle of coming to terms with death and how all are memories will be washed away and forgotten
16:50 is just so much emotion
When those trumpets hit🥴
This music to me is perfect. Loved this album for near 15 years...still will.
I like the darker colours in the picture for this video better than the actual album cover.
adamclark52 and i like the one with a cat in it better
I guess the whole point (or, for me at last!) about postrock is long, 'tedious' parts, to serve as a medium to go in a sort of trancelike state, alternated with short bursts of energy - 'the catharsis', the 'emotional bombing'. But yeah, you definately have to be someone who likes to dream or ponder or drift away during those looong minutes of 'non music' to enjoy postrock for what it is. or something. :)
i've always been a daydreamer, guess thats why the "long" parts never bothered me like some others
Thanks a lot for this lovely music.
the year 2000, wow, it's been almost 2 decades now
