I played this track non-stop after my mother died. It expressed everything I was feeling: the profound loss, the ache of her absence. And life, going on as it does, as it must.
My mom just passed June 4th, I am alone in our house, sorting and throwing things out and giving away, and I weep each time I take some shoes or sweaters and donate them.. I weep daily... I had plans to remodel the house but she left before I could.. And thus I began to remodel the entire house. It seems that every room has my tears all over, often times weeping while working I would only stop when the sun went down... Now I sit outside alone in our favorite spot and I look up to the night sky and I say "mom, I'm almost done and I think you would have liked it"... Good night
I know it's not the same as your mothers but whenever my cat was very ill, I used to hold him very close to me and this song would come on and it became his song. He died. Was 19 years old. When I hear this, I think about him. Newt. My little Newt new. It hurt me just as bad as if I would have lost a child.
Ahmad Emil Same! Although I have to say that I watched Broadchurch when I learned that he wrote the score for the series (and Arnór Dan from Agent Fresco sings in a few songs). ❤️
A good soundtrack does not make a good movie (see for example Pirates of the Carribean, Batman, Interstellar... Hans Zimmer is the best but the movies suck). You can listen to the soundtrack anyway. :p But I understand what you want to say :D
How music feels so deeply personal, yet so many people feel it. He connects with anybody's emotional self because his music perfectly brings what we feel as humans into sound. Beautiful composer ❤️
The video and the song just remind me how much life is beautiful. It's made of beautiful tragedies, things that hurt but that you remember vividly, that make you feel alive. Things that you ALWAYS take for granted. I don't know if you've ever tried to capture a moment. You see someone you love. You picture the scene. It's unfolding in front of you. And you feel your body recording it. What you see is the setting, and your soul is the tape. You know that it won't happen again. And yet, you're trying to convince yourself of the opposite. But it's gone already. You're trying everyday to capture things better. To make sure that your life is fuller thanks to them, that it is meaningful, whatever that means. You love that person. But you want to love them more. Because everything's almost gone. But you're not gonna let them go. No way. That's your purpose. Maybe you've had that discussion with your friend not long ago. You stayed long at night and couldn't stop talking. You sat together. And you were taking all the time there was to take. Your two souls were tuned to the same beat. And everything around you made it better. I've been listening to this song at least 5 times in repeat now. Recording and re-recording the feeling I have listening to it.
Love, life, peace, joy, happiness, sadness, excitement, inspiration, introspection, meditation. You can find a mix of all the most sublime emotions in Olafur's works.
Remember who you are. Remember how you got here. Remember what you love. Remember what happiness. Remember your friendships. Remember where you're going. Remember to let go. Remember to move on. Remember.
it's hard to remember the love I felt the friendships I had because it's in the past. I can't repeat it, and I'm alone in my bed, day after day, month after month. being alone is good, I've found myself a bit. but one thing I haven't found is joy. contentness. I am always lost. always feeling like I am on the wrong path, the wrong everything. I want to wake up and feel alive. I want to feel the rain on my skin and realize I am exactly where I am meant to be. I want to feel the love radiating off of me, I want to feel that in other people. I don't want to feel pain anymore, I don't want anyone to feel pain anymore. why does life give me pain when looking back at good memories? I should be living in the happiness of them existing in the first place.
Hi If I may - Here's some personal suggestions, from experience: 1) Go for walks, longer the better (if you're up awake all night try walking at dawn, it's so quiet, deserted and lovely I've found, and you can breathe in the cool, fresh air before the busyness of the day smogs it up, hear the wind hush and breathe in the treetops, morning birdsong etc, empties the head right out of all its circular bullshit!) Keep walking. 2) Eat well (you can buy a 3-tier steamer (about £25) and just throw fresh food into it! (fish/chicken/veg etc) 20 mins later healthy food is ready! - takes zero effort & zero cooking skill - and I should know, having neither) '@~@' - Just doing THIS for a while made a noticeable difference in how I feel. 3) Try out some music with a more fierce energy, maybe like this great new band of dark psy-rock French madmen SLIFT: th-cam.com/video/KJoLGNu5BFY/w-d-xo.html or some more gentle, sincere accoustic music like KOC th-cam.com/video/uXTdOefqGf0/w-d-xo.html or some music that it's just about impossible to stay sad to, like some classic 1974 Funk th-cam.com/video/6QYbZsBPawI/w-d-xo.html 4) BBC Nature documentaries help give me a sense of existential perspective, and audio books on headphones exercises imagination instead of sitting there stewing in doomy moods. With change Ya can't move a whole mountain, You just can't, But you CAN pick up a pebble each day, and have a surprisingly big fuckin pile by the years end! - Well, this stuff is making some difference for me, after a few fucked years of hospitalizations and pills etc, it's really surprising what a difference little 'pebble-y' changes can make; the dark cloud lifts, the 'stinkin thinkin' recedes, noticeable improvement. 👍
Well, next up for THIS nut cutlet: Meditation (with dark ambient, I find it helps with the old problem of inner STFU) & some Yoga I reckon, why not eh? th-cam.com/video/K4iDloZpSco/w-d-xo.html - Hope this is helpful in some way, and good luck with your own journey! :)
@@zetetick395 wow thank you so much. I honestly really appreciate all of what you said and to take your time to try and help. I'm going to take your thoughts into account. life is a journey you're right, and I don't plan on giving up. I've been trying to take steps to live a more fulfilling life, and again, thank you so much for your response, I genuinely wish you well.
@@asoulscondition7466 Likewise mate, You're completely welcome, I hope it's of some small use to you! 👍 They're just small practical methods that have been helping me out, a good bit. (after years of trying to 'think all this stuff through' and getting just about flippin' no where with it all, lol! @~@ So now, I just want to find whatever *practical, do-able* solutions / methods that I can......ie: No more idealism up the wazzoo.....So, all that stuff I *can't* change is going on the backburner. (I may even end up chucking it all into the nearest wheelie-bin, lol) Good luck to you! 😺
Mr. Arnalds, thank you for your great generosities to uploading this gem. I’ve been one of your (diehard fan) since your first album back in 1995. Your magical music never left my ears and players in my private workshop and keep inspiring me for decade (I am art photographer). Glad to have your new album in addition. Thank you.
Hey , im mexican to, great music taste by the way, olafur you should come to our country please, you are awesome , have a great one mis compatriotas , saludos
This is so amazing, it's uncanny how the character in this reminds me of my late son we lost 2 years ago. Such a moving and beautiful song. Went to see you guys in San Diego on his birthday.
I'm so sorry about your son. I buried my husband 10 days after his 31st birthday. My heart break now mostly for his mother. While I lost the love of my life , she lost her baby. Burying a child goes against every natural law and the order of the universe. I could only imagine your pain but I hope your heart has found some peace.
@@gloriacutrer2820 awe thank you and sorry for your loss as well. Yes losing a child is unimaginable pain. Thankfully through family and friends we’ve been doing okay lately. We still sometimes feel like 100ft wave hits us and want him back. We miss him everyday.
Where have you been, I have been looking for you long time ago... Thank you so much for this heavenly music. We can die in a peaceful way after hearing your music.
I’m simple. I see Olafur has a new song, I click like before the vid even loads, knows it’s good before it starts, gets emotional by the fourth note in the progression. Thank you Olafur for brining us transcendental music.
This video really has a way of reaching to the depths of your heart. Currently undergoing a breakup but realizing that in life everything happens for a reason..despite 2 years of being in love ending in my early 20's..knowing I still got youth, family, friend, health...life really can be a beautiful thing and as I Try to close the gap in my heart..I know everything will be ok.
Just knew your music a few days ago.. entered to my ears directly towards my soul. No words to describe that incredible feeling. From Uruguay 🇺🇾, I'll keep listening!
Beautiful - love the wide breadth of the mix, the little artefacts & noises of the studio left in, and the and organic build-up throughout the song - looking forward to more (from you, and the robot friends).
I am 20, and i pretty much am alone most of the time. I wish i had a group of friends like those in the video. I feel so alone sometimes. I remember all those friends i had before. Just drifted away. Now i am alone.
Admiro como pasa de una reflexión, uma vivencia y una recuerdo. Vemos la vida como un andar de acciones que nos impactan hasta los huesos, vemos la vida irse en un segundo, vemos los recuerdos de lo que fuimos. Nostalgia, alegría, tristeza, motivación, encanto, decepción, que tanto hay en esta música y que tanto hay en la vida. Una maravilla🌱🫀🌱
You are the kind of musician genius who's able to make music very enjoyable but not only. It's also a source of motivation, sadness and happyness too. Congrats Olafur, you've helped the music industry to enter into a new era. My synesthesia makes your music so unique. Thanks a very lot mate.

I wish you could bottle that feeling you get when you first hear a stunning piece of music
LeeDH22 you can you re:member
LeeDH22, that sounds like something I'd say to a tea. That feeling is utter bliss :D
So true!!!!!
what's that sound in the background? looks like a plastic bag, it's very quiet
Ricardo De Santiago it’s the sustain pedal on the piano.
I walked down the aisle to this song on my wedding day, could not think of anything better the capture the meaning. Thank you x
If Olafur does the score for a film in the future I would totally watch it because of him. What a genius!
Ahmad Emil Same! Although I have to say that I watched Broadchurch when I learned that he wrote the score for the series (and Arnór Dan from Agent Fresco sings in a few songs). ❤️
Broadchurch soundtrack was so full of emotions.. That was absolutely genius ❤️
Watch Electric Dreams on Amazon. The episodes titled The Hoodmaker. He did the music. It's sublime
He did for Another happy day
A good soundtrack does not make a good movie (see for example Pirates of the Carribean, Batman, Interstellar... Hans Zimmer is the best but the movies suck). You can listen to the soundtrack anyway. :p But I understand what you want to say :D
My neighbors are playing the whole album really loudly... And I love it, lol, because thanks to them I found this.
It's beautiful ♥!!
Thanks to your neighbor
Yes, it is.
Needed that laugh BRILLIANT 😂
How music feels so deeply personal, yet so many people feel it. He connects with anybody's emotional self because his music perfectly brings what we feel as humans into sound. Beautiful composer ❤️
Cosmo B. So true
What a pile of bullshit. It's just good music.
Al Ko xd
I feel so grateful for being alive at the same time as you, Ólafur. Thank you.

Remember to move on.
Remember.
I think my formatting got screwed up, but I'll fix it later.
Did you write about this track yourself?! 👌🏻👍🏻
Your lyricism is amazing man 👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for the compliments. Yes, I wrote it myself. I didn't think it was all that creative though, just pleasing to read.
Firebrain yea it's simple yet very true!! 🙂👌🏻
One of the most beautiful tunes in the last decade, best tune of the year. Poetic.
It remind me so many beautiful years, a long Time ago... Unfinished friendship, tragedy, life goes on... Never forget... RE:MEMBER...
this piece is absolutely beautiful.
many thanks to Help Me Chill radio for playing it. I've now got a whole new genre of music to explore.

3) Try out some music with a more fierce energy, maybe like this great new band of dark psy-rock French madmen SLIFT:
th-cam.com/video/KJoLGNu5BFY/w-d-xo.html
or some more gentle, sincere accoustic music like KOC th-cam.com/video/uXTdOefqGf0/w-d-xo.html
or some music that it's just about impossible to stay sad to, like some classic 1974 Funk th-cam.com/video/6QYbZsBPawI/w-d-xo.html
4) BBC Nature documentaries help give me a sense of existential perspective, and audio books on headphones exercises imagination instead of sitting there stewing in doomy moods.

What a piece of art for the soul. I'm so grateful for your music. It doesn't just play. It embodies.
This score always moves me to tears... I have no idea why. What astonishing majesty contained here. Pure excellence.
Thanks Olafur for your music, I can spend my time more comfortable in my apartment with your songs in this complicated situation,..thanks a lot

I can't wait to see you in the Netherlands 💕
Omg he is back😍
I don't know why I feel like crying listening to that...and yet it's so good
I love your music Olafur. Thanks for all :)
Saw them live an hour ago at Belgrade, I'm amazed. Completely washed away all the pain, at least for a couple of hours. Must see.
Iceland is such a beautiful place and you can hear and feel it in the music of great artists such as Bjork, Sigur Ros and of course Olafur Arnalds.
Oh my god
I liked it immediately cuz I know it’s a masterpiece by Olafur “as always”
I loved it 🥀💕
The first time I ever listened to this song I was on a quiet beach during sunrise. The timing couldn't have been better!
descubri esto hoy y realmente me encanto ,hermosa musica
So happy:)

I love the slow heartbeat of a thing
Ólafur’s compositions are trance inducing, inter-dimensional gateways 😔
How wonderful discover for my ears.... You are so lightly and deeply inspired ...
Could listen to this forever. ❤
Just knew your music a few days ago.. entered to my ears directly towards my soul. No words to describe that incredible feeling.
From Uruguay 🇺🇾, I'll keep listening!
Memory is the only paradise we have access and the only hell we are condemned
He's done it again!!
I love this song! Full of emotion! A song from the soul!
Love from Belgrade, Serbia
Ólafur is the perfect translator of our flawed human soul.
Olafur is back! Yay!!! The only fan from India i guess. 😃
zhazo miachieo we two are here! Ólafur fan forever from India 🙂✌🏻
zhazo miachieo Hey, a third one here 🙋🏽♂️. His work in Kiasmos is amazing 👌
I love his living room album. And of course Chopin project with alice
