You have struggled into existence and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every. Single. One. The specifics hardly matter...
This song feels like a last hug from someone to comfort you before you’re gone. I think it’s really fitting that it gets played right before Caden finally dies. It’s a depressing movie, sure. But I don’t think Synecdoche, New York is about showing you the miseries of life. Instead, I think what it’s trying to do is give you comfort and show you how to get by when faced with the miseries of life.
Ive always seen it as a cautionary tale of what happens when you spend your whole life worried about yourself and not other people, choosing rather to focus on your legacy instead of sitting back and accepting the shittiness of life and moving on and being happy
What i’ve always taken from Synecdoche is that you aren’t alone in your loneliness, really you’re far from it. Life being so quickly passing and the fact the only person we can truly understand is ourselves is depressing, but like it’s said in the film, this is everyone’s experience. And the fact we share this with everyone is very comforting
There you are, here, reading comments, living, breathing, experiencing, having memories, you are listening to this song that makes you feel... well relieved, like you finally understood something, a piece of you or maybe a memory that reminded you how beautiful it is to live at the same time that it is terrible. You, whoever is reading this comment, I want to tell you that you are not alone in your experiences, your pain, your suffering, your stress, we are humans we suffer together, live together, die together, thats what makes humanity a work of art, thats why I love humanity for everything it is, for everything it was, for everything it will be, I just wanted to remind everyone with this little meaningless comment, that the human condition is a strange concept, we are strange. Remember yourself for everything you are Remember yourself for everything you were. Remember yourself for everything you will be. What are you waiting for? Be free and forget this comment like we always do...
It's comments like this that give me hope. They're like little tokens of love and gratitude echoing throughout cyberspace that catch the eye of the passerby. The thing that is bittersweet, is that these thoughtfully crafted messages parceled with care may never be read by more than one person or even fall upon deaf ears. Yet, even if one person takes the time to read it and feel it brighten the gloominess of their life, it is enough. Though our lives are colored by tragedy, anxiety, suffering and endless possibilities masked in a theater of doubt, we have one another, and that is enough. Will we recall on our deathbeds job promotions, taxes, bonuses or simple possessions? Or will we remember places, experiences, adventures and those we share this strange dance of existence with? In this world of technology, industrialization and modernity we all feel so remote from one another, as if there are walls between us. As if we are encaged by endless barrages of mediocrity and avarice and it seems that there is no room for introspection or compassion. We feel impossible to reach and to convey meaning. Yet, similarly through the power of the same medium we can reach each other through tiny fragments of love and understanding. We understand that we are not so different or peculiar after all. All our lives engender tragedy, loss and suffering. That is the human condition and the beginning of truth of Buddhism: life is suffering. However, through this seemingly meaningless pain we can glean insight and truly rejoice knowing that we are connected so beautifully.
Thank you - I always thought I was the only one feeling like this about that particular passage... these deep strings sound both extremely warm and utterly sad at the same time.
This song means so much to me that it makes me cry every time. I miss my brother so much, 10 years gone. Whats funny is it doesn't even mean that much to anyone but me.
This film and everything about it just breaks me. Totally destroys and annhiliates every layer of my carefully constructed defensive mechanism I've spent my entire life building. It doesn't mean anything, maybe I should just abandon it all together and accept the truth for what it is. Our end is universal. But why does it have to be SO FUCKING SAD. Why can't the end of this soundtrack, and the end for us, be just a little more... optimistic. I don't know what to focus on in life. I'm 20 and I've made one worthwhile relationship excluding my parents. I don't know where to turn and what to look at. I'm running constantly with no end in sight and just like this song I'm afraid everything will end far too abruptly. I'm sorry.. I just can't help but get so melodramatic when listening to the soundtracks of this movie. It's the only piece of cinema (or literature or at for that matter) that penetrates me so much. Peace and love to every single one of you incredible creatures reading this.
It "destroys and annhiliates every layer of my carefully constructed defensive mechanism" almost as if it has... struggled into existence, and is now silently slipping out of it?
Yes!! I'm a very optimistic person and definitely see how this whole idea should be more optimistic. However, the way it is will forever resonate with me for some reason. Just a gorgeous movie and soundtrack and just idea in general. Glad to hear someone else got as much out of it. Keep doing what your doing!
The most beautiful thing I've heard in recent memory, perhaps it will still be in the future. Our lives are meant to be lived. Despite how painful the next step is, or how much you regret letting go of someone, something. No matter how shitty it turns out compared to what you dreamed it to be, the waves of time will crash down on you until your final breath. Just keep going, keep living, keep finding beauty in things. Don't worry, don't fret, it's okay to be hurt, okay to be lost. Just live, just live.
When hope and misery is satisfied and the last gulp of saliva is swallowed revealing that it was such a long companion in your little life and when your subtle breath is appreciated for what it gave as people and events in time. When hope and misery become one and an unjustified death takes place. Then, what this piece gives you will be given to you as an unjustified and unwanted peace forever and ever.
The chords half way through take on the characteristics of the sort of heavenly tones we expect to come at the beginning of the creation (childhood perhaps) myth, but blended with the heavy misery of the lower chords it becomes final.
ok im just here to say that i last checked and commented on this video one WHOLE year before today. today right now is may 26, 2022 2:18 am and i was last here at may 23, 2021 at 12:45 am.... wow. how has it been one whole year already and yet it seems im still in the same place... skill issue i guess man
That seems a tad unfair, most people are just giving their takes on the film or talking about how good Brion’s score is? I haven’t seen anyone acting like they’re a Kaufman level genius lol
You have struggled into existence and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every. Single. One. The specifics hardly matter...
What was once before you, an exciting and mysterious future, is now behind you. Lived, understood, disappointing.
how can a movie that made back 1/4th of its budget be so good whyyy

"Caden..." The way Sammy calls him before he kills himself and how broken yet playful he says goodbye just breaks my heart.
I didnt jump

This was a beautifully written and sweet comment. Glad I came back to this song and found this comment.
This will mean something one day. I won't forget it.
Most beautiful song from this soundtrack. Jon Brion is an incredible composer.
He helped with Mac Miller's final album
The part where the bass comes in around 1:50 is heaven. Pure melancholic bliss.
Thank you - I always thought I was the only one feeling like this about that particular passage... these deep strings sound both extremely warm and utterly sad at the same time.
@@timotheuspeter734 Like a father and mother's loving embrace, only one of them is much more damaged than the other. This film is something else, man.
drybois77 Yes!
For struggling writers, this song will get you your ending.
This song means so much to me that it makes me cry every time. I miss my brother so much, 10 years gone. Whats funny is it doesn't even mean that much to anyone but me.
Soon you will join him....
@@theunraveler hopefully soon... sometimes time seems to move slowly
Everyone is everyone.
Same.. When he visits in my dreams i wake up still thinking there’s a chance he’s still alive. I hope life is treating you better these days..

just let go
Now you are 22 years old. Now you are 23. Now you are...gone
Stop trying to be philosophical, you aren’t Charlie Kaufman. Nobody cares about your monologue
"I didn't jump, Sammy! A man stopped me before I jumped!"
"What horrible god would revel in such destruction?"
me
God was never called a Saint

Pair Hai Lal Production fuck me. Is it heroin?
I don't know what the fuck this means but at the same time it completely describes this music accurately
One of my favorite pieces of music
"please dont go.. I want you to stay! I need you! we can leave everything behind right here right now just please stay!"
This should have 1 million views
It is too short :<
I need the lifelong version of this composition..
J U S T L I K E L I F E
“Walk”
The chords half way through take on the characteristics of the sort of heavenly tones we expect to come at the beginning of the creation (childhood perhaps) myth, but blended with the heavy misery of the lower chords it becomes final.
So this is what it sounds like to be ok...
ok im just here to say that i last checked and commented on this video one WHOLE year before today. today right now is may 26, 2022 2:18 am and i was last here at may 23, 2021 at 12:45 am....
wow. how has it been one whole year already and yet it seems im still in the same place... skill issue i guess man
I simply only like this, no other explanation needed.
I didn't jump, Sammy!
Beautiful, thanks for uploading the soundtrack.
Super emotional and fantastically composed soundtrack, this is my favorite!
I didn’t jump Sammy
"quit while you're ahead" (sienfeldspitstain)
if metamorphosis had a soundtrack I would think this might be it (or something close)
Lmao, everybody in this comments section is trying to be as smart as Charlie Kaufman and it really shows... beautiful score, though
I bet you're so much smarter than everyone else!
@@RebornLegacy no one said that. You responded to this comment because u recognized urself in the OPs comment
That seems a tad unfair, most people are just giving their takes on the film or talking about how good Brion’s score is? I haven’t seen anyone acting like they’re a Kaufman level genius lol
this is really good
this song is extra beautiful (or frustrating) when playing civ :l
Hope.
Ok
Why does this sound so similar to leanin’?? Does anyone know
the pizza is aggressive
Um right at this stage it’s egg sandwiches and vol au vents I suppose. No free bar mind.
