My cousin, best friend, and all round legend has passed away at the age of 26. I came to this song to close my eyes and wish him on his journey to wherever he goes next. I love you Tom.
Okay, let me get something straight. I have NEVER cried at a piece of art or anything of the sort and when I see or hear people saying that 'Oh this song/painting/etc made me cry', I always thought those people were A: Weirdos or B: Bullshitting as I didn't think something so materialistic could affect someone so emotionally. Boy, was this a wake up call as when that video faded to white at the end, I realised I had tears in my eyes. I hope that wasn't just down to my sleep deprivation. It felt so damn good and I wanted to thank KOAN Sound & ASA Carson for their beautiful music and also Dan Hoang & John Weeks for their brilliant, unique work on the visual aspect of this upload. I wish I could make this sound less cliche but I only know so much English.
It seems to me like at the end of the video the girl finds her higher self/true self and realizes that we are one and she becomes truly enlightened. Amazing video.
We all relate to music/art in our own way. For me, my now parter, followed me through a pretty dark and rough part of my life. She followed me down where most would walk away and at the time I kinda took it for granted. We then spent some years apart, to me, represented by the broken stairway leading up in the video, a time through which I grew and healed as a person, only for us to reunite and now stay together. I always felt like there was something special to our relationship, like a ying to each others yang. This video/song represents this struggle and triumph in my life so well. Thankyou.
This song represents for me a way out from the boring daily life. When I hear this song I think of the beautiful scenery and I transfer me there with the mind, without thinking of anything else. Many people say that you can not escape from life's problems, but it is not entirely true. In some cases you can. And it's fucking beautiful.
This music that this group makes is literally what you'd hear in videogames and movies. Ladies and gentlemen this is real music. This is what music is when a god creates it. This my friends is beauty incarnated into sound. If you dislike this then you have no ear for music and dont deserve to exist amongst the individuals that have taste in music.
I don't know why, but this song really gives me a heavy feeling of nostalgia. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to :)
I don't know what it is but when i first heard your album it spoke through me and touched my heart and changed me so much. This was so soothing for me when i was depressed and so down i just went to listen to music and this came on and it made me look at my screen and made me feel like life outside is beautiful and can be seen so brightly. I never thought a song would come to change me in any way and this album just made me cry so much. It made me cry tears of joy cause I felt so at peace and i had no idea how happy i should be more often. Everyday i wake up now to this song and when i get a call i listen to this song. and when i'm down i listen to this song. Every time i have free time i just sit back and listen to the album. I cry every time no matter what to this song. Most of my homework i turn in has my tears on it and everyone wonders why i cry. I tell them "I found peace within my heart" and it just keeps me so calm now. I haven't stopped listening to the album and hasn't ever gotten old. I do my homework when i listen to this album. I now do after school activities because of the motivation of this album. I help my family with anything that needs done due to the fact of how peaceful and relaxing this song has done to affect me! I just have no way to give so much gratitude to this song and the whole album in general. There's just so much motivation because of what i've heard when i was depressed and how much i am doing better now. I'm now passing in my school when i plummeted to the very bottom of school. I help kids in need and even tutor some people in certain subject!
I came across this song on Pandora and liked it a few years ago, but I forgot the name of it. Spent an hour looking for it and I'm so happy I did. This song and video is so deep and inspirational!
It doesn't lol. I get what You meant by the way, Better wording would be "to give a powerful feeling" than "to say what it means". (Again, I understand fine, but some other people might not) :)
That's fine! Learning a new language can be tricky, but if You keep it up, then as long as You can communicate, even if it's not full proper English, that's all that matters, so I don't mind. :P
A. You don't need to write/produce songs to know whether a song is good, you just have to have listened to a lot of music B. Just because it's professional, doesn't mean it's good. C. I do write/produce music, and I'm been very inspired by KOAN sound in the process.
I think that everyone should be told that the dislike button isn't for songs you don't like. It's actually for songs you think didn't have any EFFORT put into. This song obviously did.
actually man i am rather sure it is just to let things know that you dislike or like a video so that you can either see more of it or less of it and it all comes down to preference man, don't be a mong
Everyone is commenting about skrillex yes I do love skrillex but you must also admire this beautiful and the wonderful producer who made it KOAN great song much support
As many have mentioned, no words can describe the power of this work of art. I'd love to know what the vision of inspiration was and meaning of the video. Perhaps finding oneself in a world of doubt and despair? Or, embracing death, when it comes, and finding happiness? So many interpretations, which leave it mysterious but still beautiful.
Why obsess over skrillix when you could be saying YES I LOVE YOU KOAN SOUND! Just because he had a role in this, its koan sounds work and their other work is just as amazing. KOAN's name should be filling the comments, not skrillix.
This is actually beautiful! I can't believe people are actually commenting asking where the drop is. They're exactly what's wrong with the scene nowadays. Well done KOAN/Asa , this is great.
OMG Y SO MANY SKRILLEX COMMENTS? I like skrillex and all and I do realise he sign KOAN Sound onto his record label aaand he left a comment BUT you guys dont need to keep banging on about it. This is KOAN sound's song and its beatiful. I came here because KOAN Sound are my favourite DJ duo and I saw this song on their soundcloud not coz im some no life Skrillex stalker who looks at his comment history. Im sorry but it just really annoyed me.
Some people like skrill amd I just saw a commemt on skrillexes channel so im going to listen to Koan sound for the fucking first time. Skrillex is boss and he is back with a new album thats boss
Dolphinately I totally agree with you but aren't you forgetting that Asa was a part of this? I mean I know KOAN Sound are legends in and of themselves but I get this feeling that everyone is undermining Asa. Asa is one who probably did most of the string work on this EP and maybe a lot of the drums (but that's more of a mixture). Not only that but Asa held an AMA on reddit about production and the Sanctuary EP on /r/edmproduction. I know that you specifically don't mean to undermine anybody but I just wanted to give a shout out to Asa who seems under-appreciated on this EP.
Third Estate I am indeed! When I wrote this comment I just didn't think so that was stupidity on my part. As you rightly said, Asa did work extremely hard on this EP and he should be credited for it (a bit hypocritical of me but hey, life :P). Also, have a nice day sir! Kyle degraw You're missing out bro: www.soundcloud.com/asamusicofficial
Skrillex and Koan Sound, two of my favorite artists whom i have the greatest respect for and who i look up to as my personal inspirations for making music. :) Thank You so much to both of you.
KOAN Sound & Asa have made a previous song, but now they make a full EP; my mind is blown by the atmospheric musicality and sheer creativity put into it, they need to make a full album next time!!! :3
45% of people came here beacuse of Skrillex's comment. 45% because they hate Skrillex, so they can even criticize him. and the rest 10% because they love Koan Sound's music. Incredible society!
Knowing about music production immensely improves your ability to appreciate a track. After i started producing I looked at my favourite songs in a completely different way
To me it looks like Koan SOUND & ASA had a profound psychedelic experience. Keep it up guys. Even More inspiration for me, and a new trip essential for my next journey!
Honestly, skrillex is so overrated and everyone is all "hurr I'm here because if skrillex lol" Koan Sound and Asa are phenomenal together, and I honestly can appreciate them better and I can show them to more mature people because we all grow out of that wurrr waaaa blirirjdid phase that is skrillex. Also, Asa - Sweeter Things.
Oh yeah, well I have showed people my taste in music (including and especially Asa), and they said it was "gay", pardon my language. And they listened to the typical hip hop swag music of today. I used to listen to that stuff until I entered highschool, and now I can't stand those lyrics and what they promote. It's from personal experience why I keep my music to myself and don't expect others to like my taste anymore. Other than a few good non judgmental friends who can appreciate tunes like this, and not care that it's not "in" or "popular" in the mainstream world. I guess it's all personal reference, but I'm glad you and I share a similar love for this music. Keep listening. :)
this represents what I am going through right now. When I heard the song and then later looked at the video I was astonished because it is exactly what plays in my mind when I hear this music. Thank you. I'm going through a very difficult time of honesty and self discovery
Can´t believe this is 8 years old already, one of the most beautiful tracks I´ve ever listened
10 years later, still a masterpiece
nothing wrong w girls :)
Crazy no one has replied to this never thought youd be into this type of music it beautiful isnt it?
Yes, Skrillex i dare you to bring these type of music back, please for the love of god
Qué pedo? Sólo 15 likes?
No mamen, no sabía que Skrillex escuchaba a Koan Sound.
I thought this was deleted
epic
My cousin, best friend, and all round legend has passed away at the age of 26. I came to this song to close my eyes and wish him on his journey to wherever he goes next. I love you Tom.
Almost eight years later, still one of the greatest tracks I've heard. In my opinion the best electronic music EP released of the 2010s.

Is not that good
@@sisco3813 good job music is subjective then eh 😉
2 years later, still the best EP i've ever heard.
Robbie Freeman Must say I prefer Adventures of Mr. Fox and Dynasty.
Amen, 3 years later, and I loooove this EP.
And 4 years later. Still da best
2018 one of the best EP ever created, such emotional and pacefull
@@sector1minos1 6 years later... Still the BEST EP ever made.
It seems to me like at the end of the video the girl finds her higher self/true self and realizes that we are one and she becomes truly enlightened. Amazing video.
6 years have passed and I still listen to this masterpiece. This is a strong bond.
Good people. Good Times.
After 2 years, song still sounds brand new!
:)
You have a beautiful voice!
Alicia Kiah So you, sing AND play the violin or is playing the violin your main thing and singing an occasional thing?
that was 4 years ago but it still holds up
The best song to listen to when you're stressed.
Brings peace to the mind.
+Ujyant Ramesh Mine is Sentient by KS. The chords at the end are fantastic and very soothing.
But you're right, this one is very nice, too.
+Luc Knuchel (Glazork)
Thank you Sir for suggesting that song. Another wonderful song to listen to.
almost every second of this video could be an wallpaper. and the music is just sublime

Asa Akira is a good producer got to give her that ! :p

One of the best song i've ever heard. An i've heard a lot.
It's amazing how beautiful a song can be.
I love this so much. Skrillex Is the reason I'm here. but I do genuinly like this. Beautiful.
I don't know why, but this song really gives me a heavy feeling of nostalgia. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to :)
Still absolutely amazing!! After 8 years I will always be back!! 😊😊
This song is my favorite song in the entire world.
Same ❤️
This video speaks to me in volumes. Why am I only seeing this now? Beautiful… just beautiful. A magical journey through other dimensions.
this is a true masterpiece.
never stop doing what you love.

I like to think that you often come back listening to this, now that you're 25~
@@renatocellini9782 and i do to this day still this song means so much to me
After all this time, still a bop.
I was having a shitty day, right now is 10pm and listening to this feels so... Comforting
Ryan Auditore this is happening to me right now, 10:03pm.
Still Feels good...
incredibly atmospheric sound design and honestly the coolest animated watercolor paintings i've seen in a long time
I came here myself, you should be proud
Same :)
One of the best songs ever, no doubt!
those spiritual vibes though.
Conrad Ritchie serious DMT action towards the end
Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever four years later. This and Starlite are absolutely GORGEOUS. Well done KOAN Sound.
This is incredible!
So are you!
ayyyyyy lol didn't expect to see you here :P
I came across this song on Pandora and liked it a few years ago, but I forgot the name of it. Spent an hour looking for it and I'm so happy I did. This song and video is so deep and inspirational!
this song does not need words to say what it means
(srry bad english)
It doesn't lol. I get what You meant by the way, Better wording would be "to give a powerful feeling" than "to say what it means". (Again, I understand fine, but some other people might not) :)

oh really? what does it mean then?
It's transitions are just so smooth! So so beautiful. It gives me a different kind of flow!
the music is emotional and I just loved how the music & video really came together. :)
beautiful.
This has NOTHING to do with electronic-KOAN Sound-music.
This. Is. Just. Pure. Art.
The concept of this video is amazing, the need to keep an open mind is constantly there. This is music.
You can totally hear the influence of Sigur Ros in those strings arrangements.
KOAN Sound is amazing, although I miss their glitch-hop style.
Miss? They still make glitch hop.
I know, but they are making light tracks like this, too. Their new EP is going to be good though.
jcast18k They are allowed to make whatever they want to.
A. You don't need to write/produce songs to know whether a song is good, you just have to have listened to a lot of music

You may be right.

Awesome that they put the ACTUAL koan sound at the end.
Nice spiritual song, i love this.
wow

Perhaps finding oneself in a world of doubt and despair? Or, embracing death, when it comes, and finding happiness? So many interpretations, which leave it mysterious but still beautiful.
This needs way more Views.
Wow, this is so much different than Koan Sound's older stuff. I'm really impressed with these guys' versatility and talent. Keep up the great work.
I was hypnotized. I'm sure.
Clearly a piece of art. Man, this is beautiful.
Why obsess over skrillix when you could be saying YES I LOVE YOU KOAN SOUND! Just because he had a role in this, its koan sounds work and their other work is just as amazing. KOAN's name should be filling the comments, not skrillix.

Most beautiful song I've heard in a while :3
I've listened to this ep since it was released and I always turn back to it when I'm feeling down. soo good!
This is epic.. more please..
KoanSound is just one of the best artist duo I have ever heard!
The power of the human mind.
Can’t believe it’s been 10+ years 😢

Wow this is probably the best thing I've watched in any morning throughout my life.
The comment section has gone 2 shits, I mean its a Koan sound track and everyone is writing about skrillex, the only common thing they have is OWSLA
i hate skrillex
don't forget about Asa
Enchanted, hopeful, and peaceful are the words that come to my mind when I hear this song
Is it me or does that girl look alot like Ellie from TLoU.....great song btw!
Long Live Chillstep
If Skrillex says that,i believe in him
music and art took me on a magnificent journey ~ thank you
KOAN ❤

What is the dubstep here?
This isn't dubstep. This is music.
that would rise like skrillex or do this?
Wub
To me it looks like Koan SOUND & ASA had a profound psychedelic experience. Keep it up guys. Even More inspiration for me, and a new trip essential for my next journey!
Honestly, skrillex is so overrated and everyone is all "hurr I'm here because if skrillex lol"
Koan Sound and Asa are phenomenal together, and I honestly can appreciate them better and I can show them to more mature people because we all grow out of that wurrr waaaa blirirjdid phase that is skrillex.
Also, Asa - Sweeter Things.
Oh yeah, well I have showed people my taste in music (including and especially Asa), and they said it was "gay", pardon my language. And they listened to the typical hip hop swag music of today.
