I could say so much about BOC music like its sounds retro, or dreamy, or spiritual. Really they are consistent album after album and they are still relevant today. A sign of truly great artists
I used to cry myself to sleep to this song a lot. The guitar at 3:03 really does it. Hard for me to come back to this song but I just love BoC that much.
Okay. This was me a few years ago. BoC sometimes make me sad and afraid, confused and lost. Their songs felt empty but I was so addicted. Now I come back and all their music sounds just beautiful and I’m not scared anymore. But it took a lot of listens and I had to listen day and night everywhere
i love how boards of canada can make anything sound good. whether its from the darkness of geogaddi or the acoustics in the campfire headphase, they make it a masterpiece and im truly grateful for that
When i watch this commercial videos from the past, i feel like I am seeing the world through my grandparent perspective, which on the otherhand makes me feel sad, because they are dead or old, like I'm going to be, one day.. So it is like a nostalgia for the times when I have not even existed. DNA.
Such an unbelievable song: so clean and unambiguously light, such a contrast from dark, subliminal Geogaddi (which I'm not dissing -- I still think it's superior as a record to Campfire Headphase). I love this video, too. Put together, it makes very little sense other than being a bunch of retro, color-saturated feel-goodery. But that's very appropriate for this song, because I never thought it evoked a particular image like other BoC songs do. It's just pretty, and VERY much so.
This song reminds me of a time when the problems of the world could be fixed with a new washing machine...a time that only existed in the mind, thats the power of BOC!
There is something about this song. Its perfect. The melody, the sound, the atmosphere it creates causes me to reflect on the purest of feelings. This track transcends music and sound...it creates emotional atmospheres.
There's always a sense of revelation in BOC's art which takes me deep into my soul, maybe to my unconsciousness. This is a transitional process I think and BOC acts like a transparent medium leading me to my lost childhood as a manifestation of my roots, the very essence of life ... this is totaly a dynamic meditation, an analog celebration of nature
Is it just me ? Or does it give everyone else the feeling they want to sail around the world in a yacht for the rest of thieir lives without touching land with this tune playing constantly??? Play it back, close your eyes, you will picture it yourself!...heaven..(and i have never sailed in a yacht!..)
This track and the cover of A Beautiful Place Out in The Country done by Mira Calix drive me to tears, these tracks make me feel like I’ve captured something that I missed out on or remembering memories that I never had.
Many cool songs on this Album, but this is my favourite. I love the slightly of tune sound...Its reminds me of that wavering sound associated with seeing a film movie in school in the 1970s-80.
+Paul Minda It make sense Paul. The name BOC was taken from the National Film Board of Canada who use to do a lot of documentary in the 70,s and 80s.' and short film.
How fuck do you discover this shit? Did you just OD and you're posting your daily reflection on life? Yeah one is broken by a dream, but man, that dream plays for a fucking long time with rare breaks. When one dies the dream breaks, that's the occasional. One is living in the same brain for their eternity. Ghost in a Shell hasn't happened yet. Even so, there is not deep sleep because there is no rest, there is merely absence.
This one makes me feel nostalgic more than any of their others. Everything in it feels familiar, from my distant past, yet none of it is anything I specifically remember.
I love the final bridge ending of 84PD, reminds me of ZZ Top's "Shiek" from DeGuello album. Tense and beautiful, then you are melted into simply heavenly guitar chordspace.
There are many ways to get really warm sounds, like BoC does. They choose to use analog synths and play around with the actual wiring. An easier way is to use a non-destructive DAW and effect a sampled organ and then re-amp it through a tube amp or re-wire through a tube emulator. Then just add some effects to the sound, maybe some reverb, flange, delay etc... Then you add a little white or pink noise to dirty the sound up. Those are just some easy tricks to make sounds sound better.
Those images of modern life from another era juxtaposed with this BoC track evoke a feeling of sadness and serve as a haunting reminder of how time itself renders everything obsolete. The 2000s are almost over and it went by so much quicker than the 90s....
I like this song, because it relaxes me so much! I'd to be, laying on my roof, listening this song meanwhile I look up to the sky, to feel the greatness of the universe. I'm not afraid, I'm excited about the future.
Very good comment, sir. This video is beautiul, and the same time, sad and meaningful. One of the best BoC clips I've ever seen. Successful juxtaposition of music and videos. Really.
BoC are the cream of scotland in my opinion.....stunning, and if you dont like BoC and what they stand for dont comment. Beautiful video by the way very impressive.
From WATMM, 24 Sept (today): New BOC album drops 5 Jan 2025. “L.Y.M.” (Pronounced “lime”) composed entirely of samples from Quad video tape sourced from Southern TV archives. Contains a whopping 27 tracks that run as one continuous mix. That’s not all. An entirely acoustic album called “Ferreiase” that was recorded before “lym” will follow in May 2025. (Release dates 5.1.25 and 1.5.25)
I wonder if future generations will make videos with intentional antiquated production with footage of the 90's-20's which would be retro by then. Pretty hard to imagine that concept pushed forward 30 years. I'm sure they will think of something.
@AliasThatIsFake Yeah, if you aren't in the right frame of mind, or if you aren't paying attention, it can sound like vaguely dischordant ambient noise. Some people are never in the right frame of mind for it.
thanks for making the video. The timing is pretty awesome. Did I mention I actually want to have the furniture shown early in the video? Thanks again, great composition.
There's no other band in the world like BOC. I just feel it naturally resonates with me and gives me a deeper vision of life
Boards of Canada IS the best band in the world
Dubinkingston Either BOC or Autechre....both for different reasons.
'deeper vision of life'? lol
This is like one of my dreams...then I wake up and it's back to reality. I wanna live my dreams...
Right on!

stuck in traffic on a warm sunny day.. late afternoon in early autumn... the suburbs somewhere
I used to cry myself to sleep to this song a lot. The guitar at 3:03 really does it. Hard for me to come back to this song but I just love BoC that much.
Hope you’re doing better now! BoC ftw
Okay. This was me a few years ago. BoC sometimes make me sad and afraid, confused and lost. Their songs felt empty but I was so addicted. Now I come back and all their music sounds just beautiful and I’m not scared anymore. But it took a lot of listens and I had to listen day and night everywhere
Love you, friend
This song never made me cry, actually made me nostalgic for better times and when I was a child. I guess it does make me a little sad.😢
for me that was and still is Jacquard Causeway… that songs makes me weep 😭 in such a good way. Favorite song ever
This song is amazing and goosebumps-inducing. The outro is one of the most deep and touching pieces of music I have ever listened to.
i love how boards of canada can make anything sound good. whether its from the darkness of geogaddi or the acoustics in the campfire headphase, they make it a masterpiece and im truly grateful for that
Geogaddi is a great album. Very dark and spooky

Haha, and the yellow curtain slowly reveals a Pontiac; I love it.
That's a nice car. Imagine driving it off the showroom brand new back then? You could probably buy it brand new for 3 grand...
There is something about this song. Its perfect. The melody, the sound, the atmosphere it creates causes me to reflect on the purest of feelings. This track transcends music and sound...it creates emotional atmospheres.
feel like an angel
might be their best.... always gets me teary and smiley
Man, I am so impressed by some of these user created BoC videos. I have listened to this song countless times, but it feels fresh all over again.
Man,i miss the good old times, where's all simple and easy...
:(
thats childhood
We all do friend we all do...
But its beautiful isnt it
We share the dame feeling while listening to this song
If my therapist knew how many times I've watched this he'd send someone to put me in a straight jacket.

Yes
Beautifully written.
I have an '89 Pontiac Grand Am I need to get back on the road, it's two tone dark grey and silver with the 2.5 quad 4...
Is it just me ? Or does it give everyone else the feeling they want to sail around the world in a yacht for the rest of thieir lives without touching land with this tune playing constantly??? Play it back, close your eyes, you will picture it yourself!...heaven..(and i have never sailed in a yacht!..)
A breath of fresh air. Boards of canada - so underrated, but that's how i like it, not enough people can enjoy freedom musically. Just open your mind!
this video was uploaded 17 years ago. It blows my mind tbh
Tiene toques melancolicos y nostalgicos. Me encanta
It’s more than perfection…..
This track and the cover of A Beautiful Place Out in The Country done by Mira Calix drive me to tears, these tracks make me feel like I’ve captured something that I missed out on or remembering memories that I never had.
you have entered the twilight zone of immortality in music
This song is unbelievable. Whenever I hear BoC it feels like if I hadn't heard them a million times, it feels new, abstract and relaxing...
Whoever made this video...well it's GREAT!
I always get a warm, fuzzy, feeling whenever I listen to this track.
Many cool songs on this Album, but this is my favourite. I love the slightly of tune sound...Its reminds me of that wavering sound associated with seeing a film movie in school in the 1970s-80.
Paul Minda very nice - reminds me of Hooverphonic and Everything But the Girl "Temperamental"
Christopher Ducra i really hope u don't mean that awfull belgian band hooverphonic????
+Paul Minda It make sense Paul. The name BOC was taken from the National Film Board of Canada who use to do a lot of documentary in the 70,s and 80s.' and short film.
2Wicky is incredible.
I just discovered that individual consciousness remains after one dies, One is in a condition like a deep sleep, broken by the occasional dream.
Why thank you!
Cool story, but did you know I arose from the dead after 3 days, this one time?
usually when you philosophize you remain hypothetical, you seem to have jumped the boat and are currently swimming in a sea of bullshit
Of course. Individual consciousness is unbreakable because there will always be someone thinking he is an individual.
How fuck do you discover this shit? Did you just OD and you're posting your daily reflection on life?

this is so retro and future at the same time, just amazing
This one makes me feel nostalgic more than any of their others. Everything in it feels familiar, from my distant past, yet none of it is anything I specifically remember.
Votre montage vidéo est exceptionnel ! C'est le meilleur résumé du plan du N W O
So many of their songs just allow me to watch life without the care for judgement. Just watching from the center ❤
love the footage used for this video, compliments the song perfectly!
My friend lucas died from drinking alcohol of all things this song reminds me of him Thanks for posting it.
the guitar at the end... gets me every time
Heard this today on the Antenna Bayern chillout station today. Fantastic track, and this music video you've made is excellent.
I love the final bridge ending of 84PD, reminds me of ZZ Top's "Shiek" from DeGuello album. Tense and beautiful, then you are melted into simply heavenly guitar chordspace.
this song is like the funkiest elevator music ever
Impromptu Paragraphs "Elevator" indeed ;) Raises frequencies like one :)

Piano sound sounds a bit like Olson's ending - amazing sound!

I love the "back in the day" imagery! The song.... Hypnotic! - - - - To say the least.

My favorite Boards of Canada song.Simply amazing.
BoC is the soundtrack for my life.
nothing can touch what this music did to me upon hearing it, feeling and absorbing it
Great video and editing. Interesting choice of imagery adds an element of nostalgia to this music. Hats off...!
Beautiful montage, fits the song perfectly. I thought it was an official video.
I like this song, because it relaxes me so much! I'd to be, laying on my roof, listening this song meanwhile I look up to the sky, to feel the greatness of the universe. I'm not afraid, I'm excited about the future.
such a weird nostalgic warm feeling. like spooky but in a good way. its cool how BoC can connect to someone with such depth
This sounds like what it's like to live on earth
Very good comment, sir.
This video is beautiul, and the same time, sad and meaningful. One of the best BoC clips I've ever seen. Successful juxtaposition of music and videos. Really.
really really nice...
very good choice of the clips and editing is cool :)
I've just started to love this song even more, thanks to you :)
Ya man! The bit at the end with the two guitars is what made me love this song (before I just liked it a lot). Beautiful stuff !!!
wow..good job man. one of the best videos made to BOC Ive seen yet. you really captured it.
Sorry for your loss Sugar. RIP Lucas.
Boards of Canada are two of my favorite producers ever. Their music never gets old and really means a lot. BOC##$#@#!@#!
this video is the best thing i have ever seen.
thanks a million!
Piano sound sounds a bit like Olson's ending - amazing soun
this song makes me want to exist so bad. Damm, I wish I could exist.
Art in motion
good music to go camping with
This is one of my favourites of Campfire too - fantastic track!
these are the good old days
Brilliant job on the video.
BoC are the cream of scotland in my opinion.....stunning, and if you dont like BoC and what they stand for dont comment. Beautiful video by the way very impressive.
This song/track mesmerizes me....
Puts me at peace. Play this when I am taking my final breaths.

incredible .... incredibly incredible
Love this so much!
Wow, that was great!
One of my favorites this one..
Awesome video, it's as trippy and surreal as the song..
Whose here in 2024
BoC is the Pink Floyd of ambient music.
nostalgia, nostalgia and more nostalgia
@Reginald Friday - Despite the band's name, they're actually Scottish.
99 R34 skyline dream

Lmao
Well done, very nice.
That's smooth like scotch on the rocks. Love it.
music of the mind
Utter lushness
Or, utterly luscious.
Great work! I like the song, and this video!!
Best way I can explain boc is just life. Thats how I feel.
@moranio I do think of the ocean when i hear this! Good call!
amazing track, fantastcivodoe

Song is beautiful and sad.
I miss the American Dream..... (although they are Canadians) With good health care which we don't have.
this song sounds so good in double speed
seen lots of comments about BoC, but not too many about the vid. Nice work on the edits, super feels.
I love the Pontiac horn at 3:23
@MisterBankz Also you have to keep in mind Grindhouse filming techniques. Intentional dirt is pretty popular these days. Watch Hobo with a Shotgun.
@AliasThatIsFake
Yeah, if you aren't in the right frame of mind, or if you aren't paying attention, it can sound like vaguely dischordant ambient noise. Some people are never in the right frame of mind for it.
any dream about a 1984 pontiac would have to be a nightmare hyuck hyuck
thanks for making the video. The timing is pretty awesome. Did I mention I actually want to have the furniture shown early in the video? Thanks again, great composition.
great video
