You really don’t realise how empathetic you are until you jump into these comments. I come back around this time every year (october) to see whats new, and i spend about an hour crying at the beauty/honesty/sadness/longing/introspection. We’re just a bundle of strangers on a big old rock truly *feeling* when we click on this video. I love you all, thank you for continuing to restore my affirmations that life is good, even when it sometimes feels like it isn’t. I hope you all truly live your lives and leave this earth with a smile on your face, whenever that may be. Again, i love you all. I wish every single one of you the best possible life.
I was literally thinking the same thing. I was totally focused on my work listening to this and started reading the comments and it really makes you think how incredible it is to read all of these comments of people lives and what they are going through. Incredible.
After four years of deep depression, my world fell apart-I lost my job, failed my degree, and my seven-year relationship ended when my ex met someone abroad. Leaving everything behind, I moved to London alone to start over, working 14-hour nightclub shifts trying to rebuild some sort of life. Cycling home at sunrise, the city felt stagnant and surreal, everything still, skyscrapers glowing orange in the morning light. Those quiet moments became my solace, and one song became my anchor, reminding me that even in darkness, there’s space for a new beginning, stoned in Focus.
I share your love for the stillness. those moments when the weight lifts from our shoulders, for just a brief moment. those moments are worth living for. thank you.
I’m 51. I have no “good ole days” from my childhood to attach this to. But my daughter and my grandchildren will. Right now are my good ole days. I’m happy to be here.
To me this struggle just makes things worse. When I‘m at peace and have accepted the world, I know that in just a few minutes or hours I will feel pain until I think I’ll break for good now. A neverending cycle.
I just smoked out on my back porch on a December night, it’s 27 degrees out. I’m using proper grammar because this feels like one of the most important things I’ve ever written. I just finished my second to last semester of college and I tell everyone that I’m scared and excited about what’s to come in the future, but really I have doubts that I’ll be successful without the structure of school. I went on the third date with a girl that I really like, and it’s the first time I’ve felt like I could be my true self around someone since me and my ex broke up. It feels good. I’m excited but scared for what’s to come, but I think that’s how it should be. I’m thankful for anyone who took the time to read this. I’m glad that we can all be here united by music. I love being human. I should start journaling. I should do yoga. I should go back to the gym. I will come back and revisit this song and this comment section. I will be a better person. I will love more. I will forgive more. I love my friends for the first time in a long time. I love my family.
Advice from a 42 year old, divorced, single father. Nobody knows what they’re doing, just some are better at pretending. Life is amazing when you give it a go. Dont get into debt, never get addicted. Travel. Be kind. You’ll be good.
So happy for you brother. I hope you face challenges, I hope you face tough times, I hope you get desperate, I hope you get more passion, I hope you love more, I hope you forgive more. I WISH YOU SECCESS.
hey man, congratulations, happy for you, raise him well, he has a bright future ahead of him, and he'll need all the love and support you can give him! goodluck :)
My youngest is 8 years old... can't hardly pick him up anymore... There will be a last time that your child sleeps in your arms. Strange to think that you won't know it when it's the last time. I try my hardest to remember that last time but can't ever find the memory. Enjoy your little piece of heaven :)
I lay my 6 year old down to sleep every night. I dread the day that he says he doesn’t need me to help him go to sleep anymore. Cherish it, enjoy patience , enjoy the question and question they have and how repetitive ive it is. The worst feeling I have is when I hear him say “play with me” And I’m occupied w something else. Hearing them say you’re my best friend is gold.
I am not a good person. I think I've always known this. My wife and I had our first child last week. I'm sleep deprived and distracted. I was feeding our daughter at 3am while my wife was asleep. I came across this song for whatever reason, just like everyone else. I keep replaying that moment from this morning over and over and over again. I am holding my whole world in my arms. I am completely shaken. I am so grateful. After she was born, I came across this snippet of a poem by Matthew Prior: "She looks with majesty, and moves with state: Unbent her soul, and in misfortune great, She scorns the world, and dares the rage of Fate" That's where I'll leave this.
Congratulations on the baby. There is no reason why you cannot become a good person now. Destiny isn’t something imposed upon us, it is something we forge by our choices & it needn’t be a legacy of misdeeds as many who look back over their lives mistakes accumulate and brand as destiny. Forge yourself anew, choose good and right deeds and be better than you have known. I believe in you & your strength or character to do so, friend 🙂
I believe realizing you’re a bad person is the start of being a great person. Truly bad people will always think they’re in the right. Based off your comment, you’re already better than at least 80% of the people I’ve met.
@@ahmedaudi5050 The chances of it happening again and again in the future are high, but think if you knew it would even happen once more. Know one day at some point it's going to happen and you'll feel as good as you felt.
We met and were together for two years. She was a beautiful, lovely person. I've never forgotten her face or her voice. I'd constantly infodump about Aphex Twin whenever I'd have the chance. And she would always listen. It's been 7 years since she died. And I'm still alive. I carry on her memory. RIP Katy you absolute legend, will see you in the next life x
I'm about to leave for a 9 month solo backpacking trip around Asia and Australia, spending the last half year of my teenage life on a completely alien side of the planet. I've never done anything like this before, my flight leaves in 4 hours. I'm still in bed, unable to sleep, my mind is too busy thinking about all the wonderful possibilities that the uncertainty of the future has to offer.
Enjoy it every minute of it , be safe , be sensible , be careful ,be prepared but most importantly be ready to pay the consequences that may or may not arise if you so choose not to be or do any of those things aforementioned. Enjoy it 😊
I discovered this song today 9th of January 2025 Life has a funny way of throwing things at you, and it's honestly when it's least expected what I've. learned so far being 20 this year was I need to learn more . But that's life you learn and learn and learn . I hope everyone has a blessed year . I hope your families are well . And I hope you find your wealth in happiness in these somewhat dark time .
@kaidendumenko5289 always try to remember, life is a true miracle and we are competely blessed to be here. I liked your post and I wish you a happy year and may you discover more of yourself each year 😊
My father is dying of cancer. I don’t think he’ll survive the battle. It’s spread to most of his body and major organs. I’ve spent 28 years on this earth not knowing who he is. Not listening to the advice. Not hearing what he has to say. Just not hearing him. I live 8 hours away and have to frequently take time off from work to visit him and my family. Now I listen. Now I hear him. Now, every moment is significant no matter how insignificant. And when I tell him I love him, I mean it.
keep telling him that and enjoy the time you have with him, even if its not likely pray that everything will be okay, life is a elevator, it can go down and up you just have to wait and keep pressing the button to the floor you want it to go
I can't imagine how difficult this must be. you are incredibly strong, and I know he is so grateful and proud of who you've become. praying for a miracle🤍
I’m currently alone in my room eating a slice of my mom’s homemade pizza. I’m not allowed to eat in my room because I’ll get in trouble, but this moment is worth it. This is the best pizza I’ve ever had.
Our mothers are such blessings in our lives. Nurturing and loving care integrated into daily routine, so many aspects of even the most mundane parts of life to be immensely grateful for.
She’s my first thought in the morning when I open my eyes, and my last thought when I close them. I hope one day our paths converge again, for good this time. Forever and always.
I'm laying here tears in my eyes as my thoughts drift to all the experiences and times I've had. I'm in my 50s, and I've been in prison for over 15 years. I'm on a phone in not supposed to have, yet I'm here, I'm feeling this from so many beautiful lives with all our loves, our regrets, our hopes and dreams. Life is a incredible, devastating miracle which I'm so fortunate to have had. I've been all round the world, been in love, made mistakes and yet, in still here and I know now that love prevails and always will. ❤
Of course, on many levels I would change things if I went back, I mean who wouldn't want to change the mistakes made in their lives? However, the universe sometimes has plans for us that we can't always see at the time. The lessons I've since learned, the qualities I've had to dig deep and develop within myself from facing adversity I don't think would of come had I'd chosen a different path. Do you stay in regret, or do you learn from your mistakes and walk a road that benefits and is in true service to others wherever possible? That's the life I'm trying to live each day, with love looking forward, not fear living in the past 🙏
This is incredible to me. All of us listening to the same song, reading each other’s comments. Learning about each other and knowing we will never meet. Never know what each other look like in person.
The love of my life is lying next to me, chatting to her mum on the phone, and our dog is fast asleep on my chest. I live in a safe environment, have no debt, no chronic illness, no conflicts with anyone in my life and I still have one of my parents (the good one). Trying not to think about how life may never be this good again and focus instead on being thankful for every minute while it still is. Peace, love and good health to all✌️
It's all a rollercoaster. The good times end, but so do the bad ones. We're told life is a straight ride upwards to eternal happiness, but it's not. We should stop lying to eachother and make the most of it. Enjoy the highs, surf down through the lows to catch the next wave...
@@troysvids4268 everyone’s path is different, but you have to move your feet to find it. Take the leap, keep going, never give up, don’t take anything for granted and look for the good in everything. Go for a walk, or a swim or some other form of exercise at least once a day, and bathe afterwards. Health is paramount, so eat well and drink plenty of water. Avoid alcohol, tobacco and other harmful substances, a glass of wine or some weed every now and then is fine but anything in excess will eventually take a toll. Avoid harmful people as well, and if someone is hurting you or others speak up. And finally, if you’re in love with someone and they’re in love with you then love with all your might, because when it’s real it’s SO real and may just be greatest experience of your life. At 30 years old that’s all I’ve got so far, I’m sure there’s still much to learn. I might check back in 5-10 years or so with some updates, who knows :)
I remember a blizzard in CO in 2007. I was driving home from work in my dad's truck, the sun was dipping, the wipers going. I had this track playing on a CD I'd burned, and it hit perfectly in that moment. It was just a flash of time in the grand scheme of things, but this song can always pull me back right to it: I can see the purple-gray sky through the frame of snow on the windshield; I can hear the wipers going back and forth; I can feel the heater warming my face even as my feet are cold; but most of all, I can feel how happy I was to go home and have dinner, to watch a show with mom, to hear dad buzzing around in the background doing whatever. Life is very different now, halfway across the country in a place with no snow. Dad passed away in January. Mom seems much older, tired, worn out. I'm no longer the kid driving home under a blizzard after 8 hours of a job he doesn't like. But for 10 minutes tonight I could be that kid again, and I was happy to be home.
Dad of three boys under 12. Living paycheck to paycheck. Lost our house 14 months ago, now we’re living with my wife’s dad. Was majorly depressed for the last 12 months until God snapped me out it and made me realize how blessed I am to have three healthy beautiful boys who I get the privilege to be a Father to. Thank you Lord.
I’m lying down next to a girl that I think I’m falling in love with. She’s asleep and I’m listening on my headphones. Life is good and also weird and also confusing and I’m also unsure. What a trip
I love this, brother. Those days pass so quickly, but they shape who you are forever. Enjoy the utter bewilderment of it all, and how utterly insignificant it makes you feel. As we say here in Scotland... 'Lang may yer lum reek'.
@@merlindogs9703 and that's okay brother. Love just like life is fleeting, enjoy the times that were (even if they were only 3 weeks ago) because the most beautiful moments in life are often followed by the hardest.
My friend lost his battle against cancer this morning. He was the most amazing person i have ever met. I'm currently just not even sure what to do with my life, he has brought so much joy into my world. And now he's gone. Rest in peace, Matthew, you will be immensely missed.
Sounds like Matthew was a great guy, and I'm really sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how you must be feeling. I hope things can get better for you, for his friends, and for his family. I'll be praying for ya and sending love your way. Blessings to you and yours, and may Matthew rest in peace ❤🙏
My mom has cancer. Since everyone is sharing. I’m 22. About to open my first office and have my first employee. Just recovered from a seizure. I’m not stopping. I’ll make my mom proud. I wish you the very fucking best.
Sigue así, quisiera que la barrera del idioma no nos distanciara y quisiera poder expresar lo que siento hacia ti con algo más complejo y específico que el lenguaje; pero es la herramienta que tengo para llegar a ti, y, desde lo más profundo de mi corazón , te lo juro por mi madre, quiero lo mejor para ti, quiero que sepas que eres fuerte y nunca te olvides de ser feliz. Desconozco como haya sido tu relación con emociones como la felicidad, la tristeza, el enojo, etc. en tu vida, pero espero que, en todas las felicidades, tristezas y enojos que pasaron y que pasaran, al final de el día , encuentres plenitud. Pero más que nada, te encuentres a ti. Ama, llora, ríe, sueña y siente sin descanso, Por qué nunca sabrás lo fuerte que eres, hasta que ser fuerte sea la única opción.
Last night I went down to the beach with some friends to celebrate my birthday and Australia day, we spent the night laughing, drinking and having some good old fun. Eventually when things began to wind down me and three of the boys went for a walk down to a lookout, we ended up spending our time talking about some of the things you only talk about when your fifteen beers deep. I cried for the for the first time in a while, and even though it was such a sad moment it felt incredibly beautiful and important. The first day of my last school year starts in a couple hours, I'm exited but also nervous for my future. I hope I can come back to this comment in a year and know I'm a better person than I am now.
I've read through a lot of what this comment section has to say and this is very accurate. There's beauty, sadness, love, loss, confusion, pain, and everything in between. Hundreds of different stories in here about every deep human emotion all brought up by this one song, amazing.
This is so well put. I think that most good art whether a piece of music or a painting has this quality where it gives us a means of reflection and can bring stuff out of us that gets buried.
TH-cam comments are so beautiful when you think about it. Especially on videos like this. Here we are, all of us strangers, sitting together with this gentle song as we leave little pieces of ourselves for others to discover. Here I am part of something much bigger than myself. Here I see others out from under the guise of an introduction or a first impression. We can simply leave things of ours such as our thoughts, our wisdom, or stories for anyone else at all who might appreciate and just now I find that so beautiful. Thank you for reading this little piece of me.
Thank you for this. I find certain Aphex Twin tracks (this being one) gently pushes us to be self-reflective and philosophical. This is a go-to for me when I need inner peace. Headphones on, lights off: peace.
My homie committed suicide 7 yrs ago, his mom passed 4 yrs ago, and I’m starting to forget what his voice sounded like. The girl I was hopelessly jn love with passed away 5 yrs ago, and I’m starting to forget what her voice sounded like. Feels like I’m stuck in a loop. But, I will fight…I will fight to keep their memories alive. I won’t give up.
I'm going through a rough period of life. My memory is always bad but now I'm really struggling to recall anything. Every memory feels so distant and hazy. Can't remember the last time I experienced joy. We're all gonna make it. Some way. Some how
Just came home from a cinema. Reading these comments made me realise how lucky I am. Often times people underestimate the amount of comfort they have. I know a lot of people here, reading this, are in the same position as me. If there is one single message that I can give you, please, be truly grateful. You're alive. That's enough. You're enough.
@@LordHaveMercy Kinda crazy I was listening to this and tought this you should dono, some real actually good music to share. Then I look comments see you here.. Small world.
“If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.” -Lao Tzu.
@@westarrr you are correct, I tried to research where this quote came from but i wasn’t able to find anything. I did find that a lot of very old quotes are often credited incorrectly though. Very surprising because this has been one of my favorite quotes for years. Much love man
Just discovered this gem today, October 28, 2023. I'm at a point of my life where I am still unsure about what next steps I should take. Hearing this, atleast for a couple of minutes was pure bliss. I guess I needed the break. Hopefully in the next time I check into this song, I have life figured out- or maybe at least have a sense of direction. Best regards to you future self!
8 years ago I was very lost, I had no idea what I was going to do. I wanted to make my parents proud but I was an odd kid. I moved across the country, found my wife, made some lifelong friends and learned to create good relationships amongst peers and my God. This week I’m starting as a First Officer at our National Airline Carrier…my parents have never been prouder. I am blessed.
When I was in utero my dad would play aphex twin and place headphones on my mums stomach. He used to wake me at dawn and bundle me in his arms as we strolled to the crisp Cornish beach to catch the sunrise listening to ambient works. When I was older he’d wake me up on nights where his insomnia was particularly bad and we’d stroll to the beach arm in arm watching the stars. I came across this as I’m sat in a daze alone in my bedroom. I’m 24 now, just under four years ago I woke to find my dads body after he took his own life. He requested #3 Ambient works as one of the songs for his funeral. I can’t listen to that album anymore without feeling deep turmoil, but this song gives me some will to fight. I feel as if my silhouette is a lightbulb and I could shatter at any moment but even still, there’s something in me willing to find the light.
You had an amazing dad.. treat your future child with similar childhood without negatives. I find your story beautiful. Its very sad but you wrote it beautifully
After my sister died, my dad gave up. I was twenty at the time. He didn’t end his life in one tragic event, but after he died we learned he was having heart problems and instead of seeking treatment that would have absolutely prolonged his life for decades, he chose to embrace death. He even asked days before he died if I would be able to take care of myself if something were to happen to him. It’s crazy to think I knew he needed peace in that moment, without knowing the consequences, and I told him I would be ok. My younger sister held onto anger for him for a long time, but I never did. I knew his soul was in pain and thus couldn’t see how much pain he would leave behind. My sister always runs through her head why we weren’t enough to keep him going, even ten years later. Would he have been able to hold onto his will to live if it was one of us and not the sister who died before him? I never thought that way, though. I know he couldn’t see the burden he would place on our shoulders or all the things that took place in the wake of his death. He didn’t know. And I’ve never felt a thing but forgiveness for that, for we are all human.
Life is crazy man. Me and my partner of almost 6 years are having our first child in May. Our journey has been tough; I've been jobless, I've been on the verge of taking my life, we've had bumps, but she's stuck by my side the whole time. There's no love purer than that. And now we're starting our family.
I’m currently 26, sat in an empty bar on the opposite side of the world (Guatemala) as to where I’m from (England). Solo travelling for the first time and getting accustomed to the dim maroon bar lights keeping me company in the evenings. This music snaps me out of my worries and allows me to reflect on where I am, how I feel, and how far I’ve come.
Currently recovering from two emergency brain surgery's. Sitting in my garden with a coffee on a beautiful sunny morning, sun on my face, breeze gentle blowing the trees, birds chirping and singing, the distant sound of cars going by all add more beauty to this track. Happy to still be here 🙏🏻
I’m 41. Been married for 15 years, have two daughters, own a home, decent paying job. And it’s all happened in the blink of an eye. Seems like just yesterday I was a jackass 23 year old without a responsibility in the world. This song sums up how I feel when I look back at everything, how it’s all unfolded, and how it all had to happen (even the bad stuff) the way it did for me to have the life I do today. Life’s a trip, what might seem like something small today is leading you down your path to where you’ll be, and you can’t even realize it (yet). If you’re young and reading this, live it up and enjoy it, you’re in “the good old days”. You never know where today’s decision or minor detail is taking you. And you’re gonna be 41 too before you know it.
Im so scared of the future. I don't know where I will go after I finish school, and I can't even think about having my own family. But reading your comment made me realize that adults are also just a bunch of grown up kids and we should enjoy our lives. We only live once!!
listened to this chilling out after full on Goa partys in the 90s....good memories, those were the times, they won't come back but as long you remember it , it is not gone. I am 51, btw, but would go back any time if I had a Tardis....
Thank you, just thank you soo much to remembering that to us, im gonna turn 20 in next mounth and i was needing to remember that again. Because the things just makes me tired most of the time. I live in Turkey as a average Turkish young and i feel in void. i gotta ask you, no matter which standart i live, is things gonna be bearable at least?
@@beareleaseYes. The universe, god, nature, whatever it is - won’t throw anything your way that you can’t handle. Be good and life, even when challenged, will be good too.
Not sure if anyone will see this, but since everyone else is sharing i guess i will too. My father passed a few months ago before he even turned 40. Im 19. Saw this song on an ig post and figured id check it out. For some reason as soon as i heard the sound it flashed me back to memories with him, and i love that and hate it. I’ve been doing my best to “block it out” bc it just makes me so sad but it’s nice seeing how everyone is kinda the same but in different ways. We are all humans in the end.
Im sorry to hear that your father passed away and I cant imagine that happening to me. I stumbled to this song the same way and i also love and hate it. As for your blocking it out its not healthy in the long run since the bubble will burst and then all of the sadness will fall onto your head shoulders and your back at the same time. Id say dont think about that hes gone but think about that he was there. When he played with you when you went shopping and even the bad times. He was there and im certain he´d do the same. But I also think blocking it out might be disrespectful because it is the best way for a short time to forget about him but think to yourself. If he was a good person you loved and cherished would you think he deserved being blocked out. I think that he deserves that you think about him from time to time the good and the bad memories. Cry or laugh but dont forget about him (obvious Ik). Scars heal but never fade away. I wish you the best
@@itk2mch512 you’re right i know. I don’t mean block out like i never think about him because that’s inevitable. I always think about him i just hate being sad lol. A lot of my life I’m around people so i don’t got time to be sad all day but at night by myself it hits different you know. I love thinking about our memories it just makes me cry so bad and i don’t rlly like that but i also like thinking about us. So hella mixed emotions idek what to do really. I guess “blocked out” was the wrong way to describe it bc i think about him alllll the time but id say more of avoid my feelings. But thanks man for the kind words it really means a lot to me thank you
damn i think we came from the same post. i’m sorry to hear your dad passed away dawg, my girlfriend’s just did not even a day ago from a heart attack. we’re 15. i wanted to show her this song but i don’t wanna regret making her cry 😭 i really hope you’re doing good right now bro stay safe
this song almost feels like a checkpoint to me, once every now and then it seems to pop up in my feed and it brings a flood of memories in, a lot has changed since i last heard it, lost my girlfriend, got a new job, losing most my current friends and finishing college after my final exams soon, it’s so scary not knowing what comes next in life but at the same time i have this minor feeling of excitement for what the world holds for me, i wish everyone a blessed and safe 2025, love all you guys
I’m currently 17, I just finished my first trimester of junior year. Hopefully i’ll come back to this song later on in my life and realize how good my life was during this time. To the future me, thank you for sticking around, be yourself. Enjoy the people you have around you. I know it’ll get hard. You need to help yourself before you help others.
we are in this together man. its hell but i can tell this is the last time i have before i lose the child in me, which is probably already gone. 17 feels so young yet so grown, why do i feel this way at such a young age 😭
I like to imagine that, here, at the comment section, we just gather around this music and share bits of ourselves. Total strangers, who happened to cross each other's ways by bumping into this random, yet special, piece of art.
The internet turned out to be so messy but comment sections like these take me back to the early days of the internet. Just a bunch of totally unrelated people doing their thing and connecting without a hidden agenda. This is what I love so much about the internet.
Both my parents died of cancer with only 18 months apart. It’s been 5 years and I still dream of them most nights. I’m 37 and I just discovered a hard lump on my throat. I’m going to get it checked but I think I already know and my body is filled with a mix of dread and acceptance of what’s to come. I don’t think I can tell my sister. She’s been through so much already. I can’t share this with anybody. I live abroad and alone. I’m ready to go but also ready to fight as much as I can with the hopes that I can beat it secretly and weather this without distressing anyone who cares for me. I’m ok with not making it but the thought of how this will affect my niece and nephew devastates me. Just when I thought I was finally making my way in life. Nothing is certain. I love them dearly. I’m tired but determined. It’s ok
Currently 12:05am , 24th September 2024, hey I’m Kris and i hope i’ll have a fulfilling life. I’m 18 years old and want to be a psychologist when I’m older. Next week i’ll be going to my first day of University. All I ever want is to be of importance in other’s people’s life, not just a side character. Hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to reply to this comment when I’m older as this will be my little capsule to catch up with myself. Life is fast and I intend to find peace and as I die think to myself that it was worth living. Wish me luck.
Hi Kris. Don't let the search for importance in other people's lives turn you into a side character of your own life, okay? One has to live in order to be a positive part of someone's life, and to live is to experience and enjoy your life, not just merely survive and tick all the boxes you're supposed to tick every day. Easier said than done, and heavily dependent on one's circumstances, but trying to do it is what matters most. So try to always make some time for yourself and take care of yourself - those who love you truly will support you doing this, and those who don't will demand you give that time to them instead. Once or twice, maybe it's a mistake; regularly, it's a red flag. Even if you know this already, take this as a reminder that there's nothing wrong with giving yourself that time. Stuff like sitting here and listening to this, time of your own and on your own. Hobbies, relaxation, personal projects, artistic expression, meditation, introspection, a walk outside. Whatever clicks for you. It'll do you more good than you know, and certainly much more than putting that time into the 'grind' of exploitation, ladder-climbing and over-exertion most of us are stuck in. Best of luck with uni. Psychology is incredibly interesting - one of my partners is studying it as well, and I've done my fair share of diving into it but purely of my own interest rather than guided by a curriculum. If you have time, look not just at the works that serve as key points of reference for psychology, but also the works that surround them & their cultural moment. Or the works and ideas they study or borrow from, like pagan customs, religious practices of all kinds, Tarot & other "divinatory" introspection tools, tribal/shamanic healing practices, etc. The theory we're used to always feels so detached, like it popped out of thin air, but it's rooted in our interactions as a species over thousands of years and a myriad of different cultures. Taking notice of those elements and starting to examine them through a new lens is what led us here - and we still got plenty of work left. Anyways, sorry for the impromptu wall of unsolicited advice, I see familiar patterns in what you express and I offer what I think may be helpful or interesting to you based on that. Cheers, and have a good week.
1 Oct 2024 1230am. Im 35 and have lived what feels like multiple lifetimes. I've been to war in the middle east and struggled through a rough mental illness while battling thoughts of suicide and ptsd. I lost my mom when i was 31 and went into a deep hole. In the next 4 years I've lost 100 lbs, been diagnosed with BPD, ptsd, and DID, gone through intense therapy, and strengthened my bond with my wife more than ever. I am currently the best version of myself that I've ever been and know that 15 year old me would be so proud. If you've made it this far know that you can succeed even if it feels like theres no hope left. I love you and i believe in you.
I believe in you too brother. the immense strength you must have to pull through war and suicidal thoughts and lose all that weight is inspiring. I pray that you succeed in everything you dream for a live a wonderful life. God bless from australia
I'm 30 now. A few years ago I couldn't have imagined I'd be where I am now. As I write this, my soon to be wife is laying in my arms, in our house, our little piece of paradise. Some moments, I wish they could last forever. Atleast I can cherish them as long as I am alive. Take care of your loved ones and make sure they know you love them.. You never know when they'll be gone.
I'm 45 next year, I travelled the world, lived out my teenage dreams playing in a band and just tried to enjoy every moment, I had so much fun, despite some tough times too. So many people have come and gone and I can feel the time passing now. It creeps up on you. The world I grew up in doesn't exist anymore. Make the most of your time here.
I’m 38 and I feel that too. We occupy a shining moment in time & then suddenly that moment has passed us by and it becomes others time to shine, the younger generations. The world we knew & everything unique and special about it fades into memory that dims with each passing year. Sorrow and grief arrive more frequently and the poetic sentiments we once naively adored such as ‘everything is more lovely because it is doomed to pass’ no longer feel poetic, they feel unjust and inexorable. I think fondly of my youth, like you I travelled extensively, loved freely, met amazing (and awful) people, had experiences I’ll never forget, but now I hold a bitterness inside me that those days and that person exists now only in memory and will never again be. I’m committed to living a gentle and quiet life now. I have a (gay) partner I love, nephews and nieces I adore & I want my legacy to be one of a person who was good & loving, who made this often-difficult world a little less of a burden, who felt safe and homely for those who need that & who can be felt by those I leave behind in this rare, beautiful moments of quietude & profound introspection.
@@WoodlandAsh for real brother, let any bitterness go, approaching 40 is a bit of a strange time, as it's natural to reflect, embrace what's good and reject whatever feels bad, I wholeheartedly agree with your words about youth and it can be quite painful to wave goodbye to, but everyone must lol, besides you can remain young at heart which is the key to not becoming tired and fed up.
Last October I left France for England, after 2 years of hard work and saving money I finally afforded me a music production school based in Manchester. On 17th October, after saying goodbye to my dad I jumped in my car, and started a very long journey to England. On 20 th October I finally arrived in Manchester. After few days of room research, finally found a place to stay. a lovely room in the suburbs of Manchester (Salford/ walkden). There was a lake next to my place that I used to walk almost every day even though it was raining and cold lol. There was this bunch at the lake where I used to sat and listening to this track with a good view on the lake. Damn it felt so good. Then I discovered that pub 5 min walking from my home, a pub full of very good lads, they all accepted me. Had very great times there My class was perfect, good student, good teacher. My times there was Epic. On Monday morning 12th December I made a song, I posted it on SoundCloud then send it to my dad, he responded me " son you getting better and better " On Monday evening, my step mom send me a text saying " your dad was admitted to the emergency cause he was feeling very bad and kept puking. The next day doctor found a pancreatitis to my dad. My step mom went to see him at hospital she told me he's very tired. On Wednesday 14th I woke up at 9am check my phone, I had a text from my step mom saying that he still tired but he's doing fine he's on his way to recovering Here's come 12pm I got a phone call from my step mom saying " your dad passed away ". I was there alone in my room sitting on my bed, couldn't realised what was going on. I bought myself a ticket flight the next day to go back to France, I had to quit my school and everything I started in Manchester. 7 months later I'm here in his house taking care of his dogs, and still listening to this music, watching stars in the sky at the same times and thinking about him. He was a very good man, always here for me. I can say I'm very proud to be his son ! All this made me realized that life is too short, and you have to enjoy every moment you spending on this planet. Thank you England for this very good experiences. Rest in peace dad, we will meet again. I love you forever dad ♥️
Thanks for sharing this❤️ too bad you had to leave school. Some day, a new oppertunity will appear. But it will only appear id you are open to it. Good luck and may your father rest in peace.
Hey man, I didn't know ur father but I can 100% tell u honestly that he was so so proud of u man. Going after ur dreams, building a career, and then also making the most of an unfortunate situation. I'm proud of u too bro, u keep going n just know that ur an inspiration to many strangers from all across the world (including myself) bless up brother, hope you and ur fam are doing well, and give ur father's dogs a pet for me bro🙏🙏
Im sorry for you man. Im glad you had such an great father figure in your life. Every time you feel sad about your loss, remember those amazing experiences you had with your dad, as simple as they may be, always remember them and look back on them. Good luck to you 🫶
I’m currently sitting gazing at the stars lost somewhere in the Swiss alps 🇨🇭.Just me and my campervan 1000 miles away from home. Wierd to think how far I come seeming that not to long ago I was sitting at school beneath the books. I used to stare out the window day dreaming of a day I could be out of this hell hole and now I’m here! CRAZY
Listening to this while I‘m zoned out in my bed and suffer because I lost my Dad who was my hero, my idol and my best friend through all these times. I still can’t get over it and have to think about him everyday. Today would‘ve been his birthday… Happy Birthday Dad, I love you and I always will
I wish the best for you in life mate, rest in peace to your father. I lost mine at 6 months old, I am now nearly 24 and not a day goes by that I do not think about him. Push yourself and be the best person you can be.
I'm so sorry for your lost. Just would like to remind you, you are not alone. You are strong enough to keep going. I lost mine last year, two months after I lost mine grandma, and he told me after that day, "the carrousel of life stop for a sec, she goes down, and the carrousel started again, life goes on" Wish u good luck
I come by every now and then to read what people are leaving here. This place gives me a sense of strong connection with all of you sharing personal stories. I feel your energy, we're in this together.
Ive instructed my friends and family for years that this song is to be played at my funeral. There should be no eulogy, no talking, just this song and silence. Played one time, and then its over. Everyone is to go home, and get on with their lives. Over the years much has changed, but not this. Never this.
It's 1.30 am, I've just received my university results, I'd already failed last year. Barely 2 years ago, I'd been accepted to a top school, I had great ambitions, I aspired to great things. It was my parents' only source of satisfaction. I was lucky to have parents who introduced me to the world. Today, I realize that I gave them nothing in return. I was never really ungrateful, but I was never a source of happiness for them. Despite this, I have the feeling that everything will work out and that one day I'll find my way among the infinite possibilities of the world.
Hey man, It will all work out That's what I feel all of us want to hear But we don't get understand that we need to tell this to ourselves You have done it You have made it to the top now Congratulations :)
i am falling in love with a ballet dancer, she is the sweetest and most gentle person i’ve ever met. and i’m also going to visit new york for the first time tomorrow with my best friend. this is the happiest i have been in a very long time. i hope life stays this way for awhile.
Also just visited New York the first time with my partner coming out of a really difficult time for me. Happy new year, hope things keep getting better for you!
I’m laying in my old room, on my old couch with my old dog. She has cancer and doesn’t have long left here. We’ve been through so much together. I’m so happy I can come back to where it all started with my dog. I wish this moment could last forever.
Came home from uni today. Took a walk through the woods, past the spot I had my first kiss, the place I used to smoke at, and the spot I tried to take my own life. Just watching the water move at it’s own pace and my breath in the cold was true peace life can be beautiful bros
hey take care dude hopefully youre doing alot better now and if you arent doing well keep pushin dont give up Youll get there! and the fact that you got this far is already pretty dang impressive so keep going mate
Hey brother I hope and pray you are feeling better and stronger mentally . This life everyday bring me down but you gotta keep pumping keep thriving it’s time to Focus .
this is my first comment on youtube ever. my partner brought me here. she discovered this track yesterday night, listened to it over and over again and since then was begging to listen to it and read into the comment section. she loves comment sections. last night when she was probably still listening and reading here her sister went into labor and this morning gave birth to her first daughter. almost simultaneously one of my best friends became father for the first time. now i'm lying here on my couch on a cold berlin saturday in december, listen to this song and write this comment to make my partner happy. because she makes me happy every day. i don't know what kind of glitch of the universe this is here, but i'm grateful she found it. i'm staying. love u all. miss u babe.
My 8 year relationship fell apart last January, it’s transitioning from fall to winter now, for the entirety of 2023 I was stuck in limbo, not knowing what to do with myself everyday felt like a repeat. Listening to this while waiting to clock into work, I can feel 2024 will start a completely new and foreign chapter in my life. I am at peace now.
Hey, keep going, i totally got that, i think im falling down the same path with my gf and feel i cant do anything about it… 2024 will be a better year hopefully.
Just sent this video to my mum, and she sent back one of the most heartwarming messages I have ever received, its so important for me to always remember I am so blessed to have such a loving family and I should always be mindful of that no matter how things in my life are going because I truly am incredibly lucky
With this song as a witness, today will be the day I revert back to the good man I once was. I promise myself to no longer procrastinate. To not waste the life that millions would kill to have. I will realize my true potential. I was given a back to bear weights, not to turn it towards the people I love. I promise to be good, help others, and die great.
This song makes me appreciate what it is to be human. In a world full of deception and false glory, going through core emotions with yourself is still so real. Especially while listening to this song… take care.
I turn 30 this year. Looking back at life I have been blessed to live through some amazing times. These past 4 years have been life changing, I lost the love of my life to my own shortcomings, I still feel that as a man I have so much to learn about myself and so much to unlearn. I’ve been jobless for the past 4 years. I feel like nothing I’ve ever done has amounted to any good. I look at my aging parents and realise I have such little time to accomplish so much to show my father that he can be proud of the man I’ve become. I have no idea where life is heading. Loneliness has been the only constant. But I’m glad for the little things. I love my family, my cat, my God, and those that choose to stick around even in the worst of times, though lately finding people like that seems to be more of a rarity these days. I hope one day I can look back and see how far I’ve come. I hope one day I can stop being my own enemy. And I hope one day I find someone that chooses to love me for who I am.
14 is when I started listening to Aphex Twin and now I’m 32. I’ve never had a close friend who also loved his music. Now I’m a year in with a girlfriend who I showed this and the other tranquil beautiful songs to. We listened to Stone In Focus for the moon rising over the ocean last year and I played Lichen for her the first time I wanted to open up more deeply with her....... and last night was the first time I told her I love her. Just wanted to share that
Fascinating how he managed to make 3 chords remain interesting for over 10 minutes. I suppose minimalism is one of the driving factors in a good ambient track.
idk. it's okay when you're falling asleep but it's not intented for active listening imo. Autechre's Vletrmx which basically has just like 5 different notes over 4 bars repeated for seven minutes sounds much more interesting and alive than this.
@@CuriousPassenger Somebody just state beauty of simplicity in a few chords. Not a comparison. We don't need a comparison to appreciate one thing or another. But thanks for sharing. It's still a valid opinion... :)
jesus christ, these kind of comments make me want to unlearn empathy... just the mere imagination of having to attend my brother's funeral makes me feel sick. I'm so sorry for your loss, I really can't imagine what you have to go through.
@@cozymode70 You've spoke from the heart right there. I too sometimes wish i was born a psychopath. Human life, cognitive abilities, and the dark nature of the universe and nature is traumatizing and this stuff can be overwhelming the more conscious you are. I can envision you growing into a very strong person especially since you have the ability to reflect. And although it's extremely hard to imagine death, but i believe it's just an illusion. Before you were born you were in a state of nonexistence when you die you might end up in the state you were before you were even a sperm before you father existed. Time is not the same or if it's even there when we die. But i'm sure it will be like waking up again on a new planet maybe the same as a living thing. It's still too hard to accept too because there are many horrible ways you will die and you'll have the most blissful lives as well. The universe is torture and all this for why? What purpose if at all? And does it even need a reason?
I'm 33 years old, and living the dream I used to dream when I was young. I have a beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, we own our own house, have strong and stable careers, we are close with our families and are so thankful to God for these blessings. I find myself here listening to this music while reading everyone's posts and its got me reflecting on my own life so far. I'm thinking of my childhood, my favorite tree to climb in the yard, my favorite meal my mother would make us, the hours spent building Legos with my brother, the adventures with friends through the forest and racing home before it became too dark to see, there's nothing I could possibly be afraid of... I'm thinking of my adolescence, my new friends at a new school, my new tastes in music, the posters on my bedroom wall, the discovery and frustrations of attraction, looking at myself in the mirror trying to fit in, watching childhood keepsakes collect dust on the shelf in my bedroom, thinking about my future, beginning to feel fear... I'm thinking of my entrance to adulthood, feeling like I found my identity-I'm on my path, reaching for a career I thought I wanted only to drop out of school without aim-I'll find another path, the drunken Taco Tuesdays after work with friends-still searching for my path, my list of close friends narrowing, my best friend being killed-I hope I find a path, feeling stuck in my hometown with no drive to do anything else-will I ever find my path, me pretending I'm content with not changing, is there even a path?... I'm thinking of my life now, my decision to take a leap of faith of moving out of state and into a career field I'm now thriving in, the 1 in a million chance I found the love of my life, and my children, who are discovering everything I once discovered for myself. My entire life, the highs and lows, the successes and failures, the new and old, the present and departed, all are a part of who I am and how far I've come. I'm happy now. This is where I want to stay forever.
Thanks for sharing man. I don’t think there is a path, only the next step you think may be the right one, and repeat that over and over again. Sometimes it doesn’t work out but the times it does really pays off
two days ago i had one of the worst days of my life and cried for more than an hour straight while watching videos of my dad who comitted suicide a few months ago and now im sitting at my dining table studying classical mythology with the sun shining off and on through my window thinking 'oh what a wonderful world we live in. it is going to be okay' and it is. it will. i am speaking to you, someone who is also having a tough time, you will find moments where you'll think this exact same thing, you will find peace and light and safety again. and i believe in you and i love you and i still miss my dad and wish he was here but i also still love him very much. and time will heal all wounds i promise
You are the kind of person I look up to and aspire to be. I'm certain what you feel is more than you can ever put into words, and I hope the moments where you can think that come to you as often as they ever possibly can.
I discovered this track 30 years ago during the happiest time of my life, and now I'm sitting here in despair listening to it during the saddest time in my life. My honest feeling is putting a bullet in my head right now just to end the agony I'm in, but that will only cause agony for my loved ones. Seeing this beautiful stream of comments with people sharing their souls with each other and uplifting one another is a testament to RDJ's ability to unlock space, time, and spirit with sound. This track is the sound of life itself I feel, and there's a somber hope buried deep within it. I hope to return to my comment in a much better state of mind and truly happy with my life. #19 has gotten me through brain surgery, my mother's death, graduate school, divorce, work, great relationships, and bad ones. I hope I get through this period alive, and I pray that whoever reads this can gain the energy to fight for peace another day. With heartfelt love to all of you - stay strong. ❤✊🏾
hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for your best. Keep living man life is priceless. bad times just happened and that's why you gotta be patient for when the good ones arrive.
Hope you’re doing okay. Life is worth living. Whether you believe in Him or not, God has a plan for you, and I’m praying the good times roll in soon. Stay strong brother, we all love you, and we’re all praying for you. You’re an inspiration.
Just got off the phone with my grandfather, my grandmother died in September and they were married for 60 years. He is a Vietnam veteran and my entire childhood has always been very reserved when it comes to his emotions. On the phone, he confided in me how lost he feels because he had just lost the one person who he has loved and known the most and longest in his entire life, and he doesn’t know what to do now. He has never opened up to me this much before or showed nearly this much emotion. During this phone call I connected more with him on a deeper level than I ever had before. He’s coming in town to visit at the end of the month. Call your grandparents if you still have them!
I’m laying down in an empty apartment with most of my friends asleep and I’m a little drunk. We’re all seniors in high school and about to go to college. I feel as though we’re in a crossroads in life. All eagerly anticipating graduating but at the same time nervous about our future. What college will we choose, what relationships will we still keep, and how many of us will keep in touch. It’s a little scary but also a necessary stage of growing up. All I know and hope for is that someday, we’ll all make it, and that our actions now will become fond memories to look back on and reminisce upon. All I can do now is to view the world with a big heart, and to treat people as exactly what they are: fellow humans just like me trying to forge their own path, and their own story.
Not even halfway through this video and I’ve shed the first tears I’ve had in years. I miss my family but they’ve all accepted that I’m different from them and moved on. I just want to feel loved by my parents again, I want my father to be proud of me without denying me affection.
Clayton, we don’t know each other aside from sharing this piece of music. I think and believe that a person who can really express himself, is someone who I can look up to, who I can be proud of. Focus on building up your self confidence . How? By having fun being with yourself, doing things by yourself, exercise, play, distract from bad augury. Don’t carry yourself around, enjoy yourself while being yourself.
I’m a 36 year old orphan. I lost my Mom to lung cancer in April of 2020 and I lost Dad to lung cancer in March of 2022. In between that, I lost my younger brother to chronic alcoholism in 2021 when he was only 29. It’s depressing to think the people you spend the most time with throughout your life will eventually just disappear.
No one is given an immense pain like that without the possibility of being able to conquer it. I believe the strongest people get tested the most. I wish you the best man keep your head up❤️
My mother had a hard life. She was a single mother who was abused and abandoned by her husband. This song. I see me going back in time through a time machine and stopping her from ever meeting my father. I see her young self 20 year old self standing in a bright summer afternoon close up with biggest smile . She is so happy she got a second chance at life where she lives happily ever after.
I sat and listened to this when i was 14 wondering where my life would take me....... I just turned 42 and it took me to a beautiful wife and 4 kids! Dont spend too much time wondering about life people, go and live it, it will pass in the blink of an eye believe me!
Thats insane this has been out for that long. Im 17 right now and im, honestly really afraid to grow up. I hope I can find my way and end up happy, as I hope you did.
I'm listening to this knowing it is time for me to take action and chase my goals because nobody is going to save me, to all of you out there i wish you the best guys we can do it. I Belive in you🙌
I'm at the lowest point in my life while listening to this. I have a tumor in my knee and am unable to jump, run, or stand properly without pain. About a month ago I was driving home when someone turned out in front of me, resulting in a tbone wreck that totaled my car and injured me mentally and physically. Although I have recovered from the physical injuries, the wreck has caused me to become depressed again and demotivated to push toward my goals or even do the things I usually enjoy. I've spent the last couple years alone and in pain, wishing for at the very least a friend who can understand me. I turn 17 soon and I am in the same place I was years ago, but now I discovered this music. I hope that sometime in the future I can look back at this comment and see how my life has improved and changed for me.
You got this bro, the dark times will pass you, ik it feels like it won't but take it day by day, and in no time you will be where you wanna be. I believe in you
Hey, you are not alone mate! We hear you, i feel you! Everything happens for a reason, there is only upside from here ! When times are good be grateful, when times are bad be graceful. NEVER GIVE UP!
The past two years have been the hardest years of my life. Going through skin issues, health issues, doubts from family and friends, people praying on my downfall. Even though all that, my life is about to change in ways I wouldn't have imagined possible when i was young. All the hard work is starting to pay off, and the next chapiter will have me reach the pinacle of human society. I will never change, I love you all. My future children, this is for you.
I am in love with somebody who does not love himself. He tried to get sober again, and it stuck for a little, but I am watching him spiral back into his disease. I hear this song when I look at him. He is so beautiful. I don't know how much longer I can do this
This comment hit me hard - I was that somebody... I did not love myself, I was completely lost in perfection - I was stressing myself about my future. I was purely locked in. working hard on my business, on my body and trying to strengthen my mind. On that road, I lost all joy of my life. I stopped drawing, I stopped playing video games, I stopped loving myself. I did not feel anything - nothing. That has cost me my girlfriend. I broke her heart cause I simply wasnt mentally there. I am currently working on being myself again. Taking some time off, doing things I enjoy. I hope one day I will be able to hold her in my arms again. She is perfect, and I knew that. But I wasnt able to feel anything. I love you Jenny I hope things will turn out fine for you and your partner.
Today I was found not guilty for a crime I didn't commit, it's been a brutal 6 months and this song came in my feed. With that and reading the comments, it made me tear up and value my life more
I am currently fighting a case of robbery, aggravated assault as a juvenile, a crime I did commit, I have court coming up in June, any advice? I'm currently on house arrest.
@@jackassir6060yeah I miss my cat. Had him for 15 years as I grew up and had such a bond with him unlike any other. This music makes me reflect on past times good and bad. As much as we want them back, it’s apart of life to live, love, grieve and appreciate the family, friends or companions we lost. Thankfully we had the memories and that never goes away.
Lying in my bed in my house listening to this track and thinking about my life. 5 years ago i broke up with my ex because it wasn't a good relation and i broke her heart. And i moved from Harlem to another part of the Netherlands. There i met the perfect girl for me, she brings out the best in me and for her i want to be the best i can be. We bought a beautiful house with a big garden what was one of my biggest dreams. And we just put our beautiful twins, who are almost 2 years old, to bed. I love my life and my family. And i realise that sometimes you need to break free from your old life to become the person you're meant to be.
I met a girl about a year ago. She was different than anybody I had ever met before. When she entered the room, it really felt like everything got more colours. I remember one night we would walk through the city after watching a movie together. She decided to hold my hand and I felt, I did not want this moment to ever end. We made a stop at a lake to look at the beautiful boats. I looked over to her and realised how pretty she is. I often got lost in the beauty of her eyes. I never wanted this night to end. Her personality was like a fire with big flames, I never met anybody who could ever come close to her. I absolutely loved her. I never got to tell her these things, we went different paths but she changed the way I look at people and I still think about her often.
woah..same fate mate.same feelings.I know I have to let her go, but deep in my heart, I trust that one day the universe will bring us together again when we are both ready, especially from my side.
As a kid i looked at a pretty girl, but i don't remember anything afterwards between us after i've told her a phrase i will later learn meant a very terrible thing that used a slang word (it meant let's do bed dancing). Now i have a different interest and i feel like something could actually blossom if i break out of my own tar and show that i am capable of love and socializing. Lately i've convinced myself i AM depressed, because my default emotion is silent sadness and i was demotivated for a *long time.* But i can't find a way to express it best than to hope a friend or more, would notice, and give me the hand i needed (the amagi made a video based around if Sakura became Naruto's childhood friend, she helped him with grades, and as it hit a note and i burst into tears). When somebody crafts a form of media that encapsulates pure happiness in a form of relationship or socializing, i kind of burst into tears, at first it was a movie about a soldier whose soul got sent into the afterlife to be reborn. But he was reckless while waiting in the line, and smoked dirt with the soul of a kid, even made friends who he may be fated to meet in life. However lady fate gave him a disability which he reacted very harshly to, and almost missed the bus to life, he ended up succeeding as a physicist, even though his mother closely supported him and had to help him do mundane activities such as dressing up, and his dad left because he couldn't bear the table tapping because of his disability. I suspect it's related to autism. Point being, im not bad physically, not too bad intelligence wise, but i am in a heck of a cement mix and i just feel like i need somebody other than my parents to help me relearn the value of life. I think i had a dream about doors and in on of them i see my father's grave, which i think shows i hated his punishments more than i let on. I pray i don't let the things i legitimately hate consume me. It kind of feels like i see everything as dark shades of grey to black, imagine living with those colors visible to your eyes without feeling like a sack of shit. TH-cam says i might want to edit the comment, don't worry, i don't have any bad thoughts, i just acknowledge the fact that i had them and i know well i never intended and never will intend to act up on them, they are intrusive in nature. Im voicing out that i hope for a good future but that i don't have the strength to will it into truth without a very strong motivation. When i think of people, i think the times that i exercise, i can put just a little bit more strength in that moment, but i'd want more. I might regret sending this one hell of a reply because i took a little discord distraction and now i think this is very cringe.
Woah I’m in the same situation. I fell in love with a girl who honestly she’s the best recent thing to appear in my life. She brings out the best in me, I still cherish the memories I have of her. But I learned she already has a boyfriend. I have to accept that she won’t be in my life much longer…
This girl reminds me of my crush. She used to be in my school from 5th to 7th grade. Now we're in different schools because I live at the end of my hometown, and I had no other choise but to go to the nearest school to my block.
I’m a 22 year old single father. I lost my job a couple days before thanksgiving and have just finally gotten a new one. I’m falling in love for the first time since the mother of child left us for alcohol over a year ago. I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. I’ve regained my love for reading. I have picked up new hobbies. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been even though I’m in the most stressful position I’ve ever been in. Things get better. Life has a billion small joys that must be sought out. Keep going and you can find them.
Im writing this on november 3rd 2024 at 1:17 AM. I miss my mom. I miss her a lot, listening to this track makes my head play memories back like an old VHS tape, when some of the film was messed and it would chop to the next scene but i dont get mad when it cuts off. She passed february 26th 2021 at 11:10AM. And i miss her a lot. She passed on right before my first year as a teenager, so ill let yall do the math. But ever since then i was forced to grow so fast that i feel like im 23, but in reality im not even 18 yet. She was the best woman i ever knew and always was able to help when i was down, learning how to help myself was one of the most humbling adventures thats still on-going, but its starting to get easier while also kicking me in the butt. 30m before writing this i was considering taking a one-way trip to see her again but i wouldnt wanna ruin what she created. A human. Normally id never vent in comment sections but ive been wanting to write for a long time and i saw people typing here, so i figured id hop on. Reading these comments makes me feel hopeful that theres others struggling like me but then they pull through and its a good feeling. I check in here every month or so and honestly i wouldnt have it any other way than with my mom by my side again, but since thats impossible ill settle for second-best. Thank you for reading. - bloof
For the past 8 minutes I’ve been tearing up reading strangers comments listening to this song. My story is I had just moved to another country about a year ago and for most of the year I was depressed, lost, unmotivated and just felt like nothing. I lost my friends, people that felt like family the important people in my life. I was finally convinced to go to university so I applied and got accepted, typically I would’ve liked to keep my head down and do what I had to do. But I gave myself a chance to try and enjoy this new experience, I met this girl and we just clicked. All day everyday we would be together not because we liked each other but because of the bond we had together. Things became more personal between us and it prompted us to share how we felt together. That was the biggest mistake of my life, I saw her for the first time in a month today, with no prior contact. I was doing ok up until today, it’s now 4:07 AM and I keep writing messages that i know I’ll end up deleting. Wish me luck..
Last winter i was extremely depressed and listened to this song alot, i cried to it alot. I used to feel so incredibly empty but recently im feeling way better and hope this winter will be better. I hope everyone who is struggling sees through their struggles.
Last winter was the lowest ive ever been in my life. I remember queueing this song three times in a row while taking the metro to work, and just listened to this for 30 minutes straight. I learned from what happened last year and things got better in the summer, but its getting tough again. I hope things will be different this year.
Last winter and the start of 2023 was really bad for me. It's so easy to slip into a depression, and once you are there its so hard to see any way out. This winter will be much better. We will do great :)
I feel you man, currently just clawing my way out of a rut right now. This kind of music is quite therapeutic and I think is necessary to start healing. If you are into foo fighters I can suggest their earliest albums "Exhuasted" hits you right in the feels
i am 23, writing sitting on the floor my bed supporting my back and my brain and soul completely in awe about how i managed to have such an amazing woman i call mine and me hers. i am forever grateful and thankful to god for blessing me with her, i never thought i'd deserve love from the mental state and childhood i had but she loves me either ways. Thank you god Thank you faith and i wish the same deep peace i feel on anyone reading this.. don't give up, you'll know when you meet the right person.
I found this through a post on instagram… I have been struggling with myself a lot lately, even though I live a life I have dreamed of years ago. I have been seeing a therapist a lot lately but it just doesn’t seem to get that much better. The more I find out about myself the more pressure I put on myself… I’m 28 years old and lost my best friend to suicide 8 years ago. My granddad, who was my biggest inspiration and my safe space had to go 3 years ago and from the moment my friend died, I was not able to cry anymore… until now… I’m sitting in my bathroom, listening to this song and reading random people’s comments here… crying the first time in years… I can’t thank all of you enough… wherever you are and whoever you are, you just had a hige impact on me and my life, and I wanna thank you for that!
Hey friend, keep your head up and take each day one moment at a time. Life in its sum total is the ever-shifting divide between love and grief, spurred on by the currents of time & ebbing / flowing of experience. I’ve been listening to Aphex Twin since the late 90s and am a decent bit older than yourself, but check out the tracks colloquially terms ‘lichen’ & ‘blue calc’. Also the song ‘to heal’ by Underworld. They’re all songs that helped carry me through difficult experiences in my time. Hope you’re doing well friend 🙂
😂 billions nor millions 👉 the stable firm earth doesn't rotate only the celestial as we are in the FIRMAMENT 😊 and the earth should be less than 20 thousands years old
Reading all these comments really helped me feel like i wasn’t alone with my problems. Its one thing for a parent or guardian figure in your life to say to you “you’re not alone”, but really seeing it with your own eyes is something else man. I appreciate all of you and am glad that you were all able to share your stories and experiences. Thank you, cheers 🍻
Been coming back to listen occasionally, from high school, through gap year and now Uni. Love, loss, many failures and major victories. A man does not listen to #19 twice, for it is not the same monkey and he is not the same man

You really don’t realise how empathetic you are until you jump into these comments. I come back around this time every year (october) to see whats new, and i spend about an hour crying at the beauty/honesty/sadness/longing/introspection. We’re just a bundle of strangers on a big old rock truly *feeling* when we click on this video. I love you all, thank you for continuing to restore my affirmations that life is good, even when it sometimes feels like it isn’t. I hope you all truly live your lives and leave this earth with a smile on your face, whenever that may be. Again, i love you all. I wish every single one of you the best possible life.
I was literally thinking the same thing. I was totally focused on my work listening to this and started reading the comments and it really makes you think how incredible it is to read all of these comments of people lives and what they are going through. Incredible.
love you too man and same
Love you 2 brother, thanks for the insight 🙌
love u bro, hope everybody finds the best of live
Que lindo comentario. Ojala tengas una hermosa vida al igual que le deseo esto al resto.
After four years of deep depression, my world fell apart-I lost my job, failed my degree, and my seven-year relationship ended when my ex met someone abroad. Leaving everything behind, I moved to London alone to start over, working 14-hour nightclub shifts trying to rebuild some sort of life.
Cycling home at sunrise, the city felt stagnant and surreal, everything still, skyscrapers glowing orange in the morning light. Those quiet moments became my solace, and one song became my anchor, reminding me that even in darkness, there’s space for a new beginning, stoned in Focus.
I share your love for the stillness. those moments when the weight lifts from our shoulders, for just a brief moment. those moments are worth living for. thank you.
rooting for you friend
Leave the knightbox for a sauna !
Read “ The secret by rhonda bryne “ welcome to the secret world my friend
Wishing you the best brother. This is only a dip, you'll succeed.
I’m 51. I have no “good ole days” from my childhood to attach this to. But my daughter and my grandchildren will. Right now are my good ole days. I’m happy to be here.
I'm 18 now and didn't get many good memories out of my childhood. I want to, one day, be like you are now.
Man I love this comment. Enjoy each and every moment. I love you
Live on Mr. Jonathan!
Here with my kids as well; They clicked this (6y & 2y)
I'm happy for you, Mr.Johnathan! ❤
My father passed away today. I thought he had more time. Rest in peace old man, i will miss you forever.
Im sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
The Kingdom of heaven rolls carpets for a good father he knows how much you loved him I promise
sorry for your loss, stay strong bro
Make him proud, I’m sorry for your loss
This is how it feels to not know if you’re getting better or worse and you’re stuck between wanting to keep fighting or just let go
Never give up! Never surrender!
although as obvious as the answer may seem looking back in the moment you can never find the right one.
To me this struggle just makes things worse. When I‘m at peace and have accepted the world, I know that in just a few minutes or hours I will feel pain until I think I’ll break for good now. A neverending cycle.
❤
Real
I just smoked out on my back porch on a December night, it’s 27 degrees out. I’m using proper grammar because this feels like one of the most important things I’ve ever written. I just finished my second to last semester of college and I tell everyone that I’m scared and excited about what’s to come in the future, but really I have doubts that I’ll be successful without the structure of school. I went on the third date with a girl that I really like, and it’s the first time I’ve felt like I could be my true self around someone since me and my ex broke up. It feels good. I’m excited but scared for what’s to come, but I think that’s how it should be. I’m thankful for anyone who took the time to read this. I’m glad that we can all be here united by music. I love being human. I should start journaling. I should do yoga. I should go back to the gym. I will come back and revisit this song and this comment section. I will be a better person. I will love more. I will forgive more. I love my friends for the first time in a long time. I love my family.
hope everything goes well for you dude.😊
good luck man
Advice from a 42 year old, divorced, single father. Nobody knows what they’re doing, just some are better at pretending. Life is amazing when you give it a go. Dont get into debt, never get addicted. Travel. Be kind. You’ll be good.
Sounds like you’ll be busy ❤
So happy for you brother. I hope you face challenges, I hope you face tough times, I hope you get desperate, I hope you get more passion, I hope you love more, I hope you forgive more. I WISH YOU SECCESS.
Holding my sleeping son, 8 weeks old, listening to this Friday night after a long week. Comments carved in stone.
hey man, congratulations, happy for you, raise him well, he has a bright future ahead of him, and he'll need all the love and support you can give him! goodluck :)
My youngest is 8 years old... can't hardly pick him up anymore... There will be a last time that your child sleeps in your arms. Strange to think that you won't know it when it's the last time. I try my hardest to remember that last time but can't ever find the memory. Enjoy your little piece of heaven :)
Embrace that feeling it's amazing, my wife and I broke up and I don't see my kids nearly as much anymore I miss them terribly and my whole family unit
I hope you can raise a happy family
I lay my 6 year old down to sleep every night. I dread the day that he says he doesn’t need me to help him go to sleep anymore. Cherish it, enjoy patience , enjoy the question and question they have and how repetitive ive it is. The worst feeling I have is when I hear him say “play with me”
And I’m occupied w something else. Hearing them say you’re my best friend is gold.
I am not a good person. I think I've always known this.
My wife and I had our first child last week. I'm sleep deprived and distracted.
I was feeding our daughter at 3am while my wife was asleep.
I came across this song for whatever reason, just like everyone else.
I keep replaying that moment from this morning over and over and over again.
I am holding my whole world in my arms.
I am completely shaken. I am so grateful.
After she was born, I came across this snippet of a poem by Matthew Prior:
"She looks with majesty, and moves with state:
Unbent her soul, and in misfortune great,
She scorns the world, and dares the rage of Fate"
That's where I'll leave this.
you are.
Thankyou for this ❤️
Congratulations on the baby. There is no reason why you cannot become a good person now. Destiny isn’t something imposed upon us, it is something we forge by our choices & it needn’t be a legacy of misdeeds as many who look back over their lives mistakes accumulate and brand as destiny. Forge yourself anew, choose good and right deeds and be better than you have known. I believe in you & your strength or character to do so, friend 🙂
Do it for them, and if Jesus helps, try that. She’s worth it dude
I believe realizing you’re a bad person is the start of being a great person. Truly bad people will always think they’re in the right. Based off your comment, you’re already better than at least 80% of the people I’ve met.
This is how it feels when a good day ends and you know you will remember this day often in the future.
Real
And you'd be kinda sad cause it's maybe not gonna happen again
Fr
yea man, yea
@@ahmedaudi5050 The chances of it happening again and again in the future are high, but think if you knew it would even happen once more. Know one day at some point it's going to happen and you'll feel as good as you felt.
We met and were together for two years. She was a beautiful, lovely person. I've never forgotten her face or her voice. I'd constantly infodump about Aphex Twin whenever I'd have the chance. And she would always listen. It's been 7 years since she died. And I'm still alive. I carry on her memory. RIP Katy you absolute legend, will see you in the next life x
sorry for your loss 😢. hope you are doing better man❤
Really sorry to hear that mate
Really, I'm sorry
Hope you get through bud 😢x
Im Sorry For Your Loss
I Promise You, Youll Find Her Again In The Afterlife And Be With Her Forever.
I‘m so sorry to hear that, wish you all the strengh in the world you need to recover❤
Put your faith in Christ :)
I'm about to leave for a 9 month solo backpacking trip around Asia and Australia, spending the last half year of my teenage life on a completely alien side of the planet. I've never done anything like this before, my flight leaves in 4 hours. I'm still in bed, unable to sleep, my mind is too busy thinking about all the wonderful possibilities that the uncertainty of the future has to offer.
Embrace it
it’s a beautiful opportunity man. i’m so happy for you.
how do you manage to get enough resources to do something like this man
Enjoy it every minute of it , be safe , be sensible , be careful ,be prepared but most importantly be ready to pay the consequences that may or may not arise if you so choose not to be or do any of those things aforementioned. Enjoy it 😊
Enjoy yourself you deserve it man
I discovered this song today 9th of January 2025
Life has a funny way of throwing things at you, and it's honestly when it's least expected what I've. learned so far being 20 this year was I need to learn more . But that's life you learn and learn and learn . I hope everyone has a blessed year . I hope your families are well . And I hope you find your wealth in happiness in these somewhat dark time .
@kaidendumenko5289 always try to remember, life is a true miracle and we are competely blessed to be here. I liked your post and I wish you a happy year and may you discover more of yourself each year 😊
@David-j4i5b you as well man hope every thing you want goes your way
It's never too late to discover new things
Lesssgooo!
My father is dying of cancer. I don’t think he’ll survive the battle. It’s spread to most of his body and major organs. I’ve spent 28 years on this earth not knowing who he is. Not listening to the advice. Not hearing what he has to say. Just not hearing him. I live 8 hours away and have to frequently take time off from work to visit him and my family. Now I listen. Now I hear him. Now, every moment is significant no matter how insignificant. And when I tell him I love him, I mean it.
:(
keep telling him that and enjoy the time you have with him, even if its not likely pray that everything will be okay, life is a elevator, it can go down and up you just have to wait and keep pressing the button to the floor you want it to go
I can't imagine how difficult this must be. you are incredibly strong, and I know he is so grateful and proud of who you've become. praying for a miracle🤍
Hang in there sweetheart 😢. You’re an amazing person for your family. Don’t blame yourself for any past wrongs. That’s how life is 🥺❤️
This made me teary 🥲
I’m currently alone in my room eating a slice of my mom’s homemade pizza. I’m not allowed to eat in my room because I’ll get in trouble, but this moment is worth it. This is the best pizza I’ve ever had.
Savour life 🙏🙏
Very touching, I'm sobbing mate
Our mothers are such blessings in our lives. Nurturing and loving care integrated into daily routine, so many aspects of even the most mundane parts of life to be immensely grateful for.
Savor moms home cooking ❤
She’s my first thought in the morning when I open my eyes, and my last thought when I close them. I hope one day our paths converge again, for good this time. Forever and always.
Man this is accurate
I hope so too...
Man that's real
Thank you
dude tell her not us this is beautiful
I'm laying here tears in my eyes as my thoughts drift to all the experiences and times I've had. I'm in my 50s, and I've been in prison for over 15 years. I'm on a phone in not supposed to have, yet I'm here, I'm feeling this from so many beautiful lives with all our loves, our regrets, our hopes and dreams. Life is a incredible, devastating miracle which I'm so fortunate to have had. I've been all round the world, been in love, made mistakes and yet, in still here and I know now that love prevails and always will. ❤
What did you get sentenced for?
Much love ❤
If you could go back and change anything would you?
Of course, on many levels I would change things if I went back, I mean who wouldn't want to change the mistakes made in their lives? However, the universe sometimes has plans for us that we can't always see at the time. The lessons I've since learned, the qualities I've had to dig deep and develop within myself from facing adversity I don't think would of come had I'd chosen a different path. Do you stay in regret, or do you learn from your mistakes and walk a road that benefits and is in true service to others wherever possible? That's the life I'm trying to live each day, with love looking forward, not fear living in the past 🙏
@@David-j4i5bI wish you all the best man stay safe.
This is incredible to me. All of us listening to the same song, reading each other’s comments. Learning about each other and knowing we will never meet. Never know what each other look like in person.
You could be wrong - you might walk past one of these commenters on the street tomorrow, and maybe you did yesterday
@@lukaski-91still proves his point we really wont ever meet, we might walk past each other but we would never know it
Love that... we just let our feelings out... stay safe everyone
We may not experience each other in person but we still are experiencing each other someway. 🥺🌹❤️
Glad to be able to share this moment and hopefully many more with this many like-minded people. Thank you
The love of my life is lying next to me, chatting to her mum on the phone, and our dog is fast asleep on my chest. I live in a safe environment, have no debt, no chronic illness, no conflicts with anyone in my life and I still have one of my parents (the good one). Trying not to think about how life may never be this good again and focus instead on being thankful for every minute while it still is. Peace, love and good health to all✌️
It's all a rollercoaster. The good times end, but so do the bad ones. We're told life is a straight ride upwards to eternal happiness, but it's not. We should stop lying to eachother and make the most of it. Enjoy the highs, surf down through the lows to catch the next wave...
Holy fucking cringe aphex twin would literally kill himself reading some of these fucking comments jesus fucking CHRIST 😭😭😭
Damn bro how'd you get to that point? I want that. Sounds like some times were bad before. @Thelastpersonyouwouldexpect
@@idealmodernsystems screenshotted for a reminder
@@troysvids4268 everyone’s path is different, but you have to move your feet to find it. Take the leap, keep going, never give up, don’t take anything for granted and look for the good in everything. Go for a walk, or a swim or some other form of exercise at least once a day, and bathe afterwards. Health is paramount, so eat well and drink plenty of water. Avoid alcohol, tobacco and other harmful substances, a glass of wine or some weed every now and then is fine but anything in excess will eventually take a toll. Avoid harmful people as well, and if someone is hurting you or others speak up. And finally, if you’re in love with someone and they’re in love with you then love with all your might, because when it’s real it’s SO real and may just be greatest experience of your life.
At 30 years old that’s all I’ve got so far, I’m sure there’s still much to learn. I might check back in 5-10 years or so with some updates, who knows :)
I remember a blizzard in CO in 2007. I was driving home from work in my dad's truck, the sun was dipping, the wipers going. I had this track playing on a CD I'd burned, and it hit perfectly in that moment. It was just a flash of time in the grand scheme of things, but this song can always pull me back right to it: I can see the purple-gray sky through the frame of snow on the windshield; I can hear the wipers going back and forth; I can feel the heater warming my face even as my feet are cold; but most of all, I can feel how happy I was to go home and have dinner, to watch a show with mom, to hear dad buzzing around in the background doing whatever.
Life is very different now, halfway across the country in a place with no snow. Dad passed away in January. Mom seems much older, tired, worn out. I'm no longer the kid driving home under a blizzard after 8 hours of a job he doesn't like.
But for 10 minutes tonight I could be that kid again, and I was happy to be home.
bro that made me tear up, I'm glad you had those good times
Hope u still feeling home these next days... Love your words, thx for what u've wrote here ❤
beautiful
just want you to know that reading this with the song in the background drove me to tears. thank you for sharing your story
Man, your words are pure solid gold. You should be a writer.
Dad of three boys under 12. Living paycheck to paycheck. Lost our house 14 months ago, now we’re living with my wife’s dad. Was majorly depressed for the last 12 months until God snapped me out it and made me realize how blessed I am to have three healthy beautiful boys who I get the privilege to be a Father to. Thank you Lord.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Mueller
I’m lying down next to a girl that I think I’m falling in love with. She’s asleep and I’m listening on my headphones. Life is good and also weird and also confusing and I’m also unsure. What a trip
Enjoy life, brother. That's what makes it something to write about.
I love this, brother. Those days pass so quickly, but they shape who you are forever. Enjoy the utter bewilderment of it all, and how utterly insignificant it makes you feel.

My friend lost his battle against cancer this morning. He was the most amazing person i have ever met. I'm currently just not even sure what to do with my life, he has brought so much joy into my world. And now he's gone.
Rest in peace, Matthew, you will be immensely missed.
Sounds like Matthew was a great guy, and I'm really sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how you must be feeling. I hope things can get better for you, for his friends, and for his family. I'll be praying for ya and sending love your way. Blessings to you and yours, and may Matthew rest in peace ❤🙏
Matthew would want you to Live and Laugh!
Sorry for your loss, man. Enjoy every day. Spend every moment with those you love. Thank you for sharing Matthew ❤
My condolences to you, I hope you get through this, sending you love.
Im sorry for your loss man i cant imagine the pain. You a king for taking it on, keep doing well in life and value all the little things
My mom has cancer. Since everyone is sharing. I’m 22. About to open my first office and have my first employee. Just recovered from a seizure. I’m not stopping. I’ll make my mom proud. I wish you the very fucking best.

Your mom should be proud of you , best wishes to yours mom ! don’t stop ! wish you health and good luck .
Sigue así, quisiera que la barrera del idioma no nos distanciara y quisiera poder expresar lo que siento hacia ti con algo más complejo y específico que el lenguaje; pero es la herramienta que tengo para llegar a ti, y, desde lo más profundo de mi corazón , te lo juro por mi madre, quiero lo mejor para ti, quiero que sepas que eres fuerte y nunca te olvides de ser feliz.
Desconozco como haya sido tu relación con emociones como la felicidad, la tristeza, el enojo, etc. en tu vida, pero espero que, en todas las felicidades, tristezas y enojos que pasaron y que pasaran, al final de el día , encuentres plenitud.
Pero más que nada, te encuentres a ti.
Ama, llora, ríe, sueña y siente sin descanso,
Por qué nunca sabrás lo fuerte que eres, hasta que ser fuerte sea la única opción.
Never give up on your dreams. You’re doing great. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your mom. ❤
Hey man. My mum died from brain cancer 3 months ago. I’m 19. I share your pain. Love is such a special thing
Last night I went down to the beach with some friends to celebrate my birthday and Australia day, we spent the night laughing, drinking and having some good old fun. Eventually when things began to wind down me and three of the boys went for a walk down to a lookout, we ended up spending our time talking about some of the things you only talk about when your fifteen beers deep. I cried for the for the first time in a while, and even though it was such a sad moment it felt incredibly beautiful and important.
The first day of my last school year starts in a couple hours, I'm exited but also nervous for my future. I hope I can come back to this comment in a year and know I'm a better person than I am now.
I can already tell you my friend, you are going to be so much better than you think. Just keep being you and everything will work out. Peace and love
This is not just music. It’s like a blank canvas, upon which we can paint our emotions, thoughts and stories.
Beautiful
I've read through a lot of what this comment section has to say and this is very accurate. There's beauty, sadness, love, loss, confusion, pain, and everything in between. Hundreds of different stories in here about every deep human emotion all brought up by this one song, amazing.
You are so right
Well said
This is so well put. I think that most good art whether a piece of music or a painting has this quality where it gives us a means of reflection and can bring stuff out of us that gets buried.
TH-cam comments are so beautiful when you think about it. Especially on videos like this. Here we are, all of us strangers, sitting together with this gentle song as we leave little pieces of ourselves for others to discover. Here I am part of something much bigger than myself. Here I see others out from under the guise of an introduction or a first impression. We can simply leave things of ours such as our thoughts, our wisdom, or stories for anyone else at all who might appreciate and just now I find that so beautiful. Thank you for reading this little piece of me.
Thank you for this. I find certain Aphex Twin tracks (this being one) gently pushes us to be self-reflective and philosophical. This is a go-to for me when I need inner peace. Headphones on, lights off: peace.
we need more of this kind of thing!
I love you, your comment and this video

it's really something isn't it. these are the best parts of the internet.
My homie committed suicide 7 yrs ago, his mom passed 4 yrs ago, and I’m starting to forget what his voice sounded like. The girl I was hopelessly jn love with passed away 5 yrs ago, and I’m starting to forget what her voice sounded like. Feels like I’m stuck in a loop. But, I will fight…I will fight to keep their memories alive. I won’t give up.
Hell yeah, man.
they would be proud of you, keep going and finding new joys in life.
I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you remember, and may you have peace. Stay strong. Hold fast to the center.
I'm going through a rough period of life. My memory is always bad but now I'm really struggling to recall anything. Every memory feels so distant and hazy. Can't remember the last time I experienced joy.
We're all gonna make it. Some way. Some how
That really sounds rough though man :( . Hang in there ❤
Just came home from a cinema. Reading these comments made me realise how lucky I am. Often times people underestimate the amount of comfort they have.

8 years ago I was very lost, I had no idea what I was going to do. I wanted to make my parents proud but I was an odd kid. I moved across the country, found my wife, made some lifelong friends and learned to create good relationships amongst peers and my God. This week I’m starting as a First Officer at our National Airline Carrier…my parents have never been prouder. I am blessed.
Well done.
When I was in utero my dad would play aphex twin and place headphones on my mums stomach. He used to wake me at dawn and bundle me in his arms as we strolled to the crisp Cornish beach to catch the sunrise listening to ambient works. When I was older he’d wake me up on nights where his insomnia was particularly bad and we’d stroll to the beach arm in arm watching the stars. I came across this as I’m sat in a daze alone in my bedroom. I’m 24 now, just under four years ago I woke to find my dads body after he took his own life. He requested #3 Ambient works as one of the songs for his funeral. I can’t listen to that album anymore without feeling deep turmoil, but this song gives me some will to fight. I feel as if my silhouette is a lightbulb and I could shatter at any moment but even still, there’s something in me willing to find the light.
💔
You had an amazing dad.. treat your future child with similar childhood without negatives. I find your story beautiful. Its very sad but you wrote it beautifully
I am so sorry for your loss. I did the same for my children when they were in utero and since. Your dad sounds like a good man.
After my sister died, my dad gave up. I was twenty at the time. He didn’t end his life in one tragic event, but after he died we learned he was having heart problems and instead of seeking treatment that would have absolutely prolonged his life for decades, he chose to embrace death. He even asked days before he died if I would be able to take care of myself if something were to happen to him. It’s crazy to think I knew he needed peace in that moment, without knowing the consequences, and I told him I would be ok.
My younger sister held onto anger for him for a long time, but I never did. I knew his soul was in pain and thus couldn’t see how much pain he would leave behind. My sister always runs through her head why we weren’t enough to keep him going, even ten years later. Would he have been able to hold onto his will to live if it was one of us and not the sister who died before him? I never thought that way, though. I know he couldn’t see the burden he would place on our shoulders or all the things that took place in the wake of his death. He didn’t know. And I’ve never felt a thing but forgiveness for that, for we are all human.
Your father was a great man. An angel in a cruel world. You're an angel too. Be strong king!!!
This comment section is gold. I love how everyone talks about life, feelings, meanings etc. This shows how much music affects us people.
Hm, I'd argue that it's especcially this particular song, if you ask me, I'd probably the best song I've ever heard, for a few reasons
Only me, I talk about the monkey
@@Hoggex About the monkey, too, I guess
TRUE

Life is crazy man. Me and my partner of almost 6 years are having our first child in May. Our journey has been tough; I've been jobless, I've been on the verge of taking my life, we've had bumps, but she's stuck by my side the whole time. There's no love purer than that. And now we're starting our family.
That's the one, blessings for all of your family
lots of love to you guys❤
@@Dahcs you both are warriors. Now make another warrior on that child ♡ much love for you guys
Good luck! Remember to still to a routine and stay healthy!
Beautiful❤
I’m currently 26, sat in an empty bar on the opposite side of the world (Guatemala) as to where I’m from (England). Solo travelling for the first time and getting accustomed to the dim maroon bar lights keeping me company in the evenings. This music snaps me out of my worries and allows me to reflect on where I am, how I feel, and how far I’ve come.
You’re on the right path.
youve come a long way good stuff bro. keep doing random things. it. is. the. answer
Currently recovering from two emergency brain surgery's. Sitting in my garden with a coffee on a beautiful sunny morning, sun on my face, breeze gentle blowing the trees, birds chirping and singing, the distant sound of cars going by all add more beauty to this track. Happy to still be here 🙏🏻
Good!
💙💙💙💙
wish you all the best for your recovery
Good job!
I hope that is the last of your medical problems for a very long time!
I’m 41. Been married for 15 years, have two daughters, own a home, decent paying job. And it’s all happened in the blink of an eye. Seems like just yesterday I was a jackass 23 year old without a responsibility in the world. This song sums up how I feel when I look back at everything, how it’s all unfolded, and how it all had to happen (even the bad stuff) the way it did for me to have the life I do today. Life’s a trip, what might seem like something small today is leading you down your path to where you’ll be, and you can’t even realize it (yet). If you’re young and reading this, live it up and enjoy it, you’re in “the good old days”. You never know where today’s decision or minor detail is taking you. And you’re gonna be 41 too before you know it.
Im so scared of the future. I don't know where I will go after I finish school, and I can't even think about having my own family. But reading your comment made me realize that adults are also just a bunch of grown up kids and we should enjoy our lives. We only live once!!
listened to this chilling out after full on Goa partys in the 90s....good memories, those were the times, they won't come back but as long you remember it , it is not gone. I am 51, btw, but would go back any time if I had a Tardis....
Thank you
Thank you, just thank you soo much to remembering that to us, im gonna turn 20 in next mounth and i was needing to remember that again. Because the things just makes me tired most of the time. I live in Turkey as a average Turkish young and i feel in void. i gotta ask you, no matter which standart i live, is things gonna be bearable at least?
@@beareleaseYes. The universe, god, nature, whatever it is - won’t throw anything your way that you can’t handle. Be good and life, even when challenged, will be good too.
Not sure if anyone will see this, but since everyone else is sharing i guess i will too. My father passed a few months ago before he even turned 40. Im 19. Saw this song on an ig post and figured id check it out. For some reason as soon as i heard the sound it flashed me back to memories with him, and i love that and hate it. I’ve been doing my best to “block it out” bc it just makes me so sad but it’s nice seeing how everyone is kinda the same but in different ways. We are all humans in the end.
Im sorry to hear that your father passed away and I cant imagine that happening to me. I stumbled to this song the same way and i also love and hate it. As for your blocking it out its not healthy in the long run since the bubble will burst and then all of the sadness will fall onto your head shoulders and your back at the same time. Id say dont think about that hes gone but think about that he was there. When he played with you when you went shopping and even the bad times. He was there and im certain he´d do the same. But I also think blocking it out might be disrespectful because it is the best way for a short time to forget about him but think to yourself. If he was a good person you loved and cherished would you think he deserved being blocked out. I think that he deserves that you think about him from time to time the good and the bad memories. Cry or laugh but dont forget about him (obvious Ik). Scars heal but never fade away. I wish you the best
@@itk2mch512 you’re right i know. I don’t mean block out like i never think about him because that’s inevitable. I always think about him i just hate being sad lol. A lot of my life I’m around people so i don’t got time to be sad all day but at night by myself it hits different you know. I love thinking about our memories it just makes me cry so bad and i don’t rlly like that but i also like thinking about us. So hella mixed emotions idek what to do really. I guess “blocked out” was the wrong way to describe it bc i think about him alllll the time but id say more of avoid my feelings. But thanks man for the kind words it really means a lot to me thank you
i am so sorry for your loss. i know your dad is proud of you, and i promise it gets easier🤍
Sending love sweetheart 🫂🥺❤️🩹 Keep up your fathers;s legacy 🌹
damn i think we came from the same post. i’m sorry to hear your dad passed away dawg, my girlfriend’s just did not even a day ago from a heart attack. we’re 15. i wanted to show her this song but i don’t wanna regret making her cry 😭 i really hope you’re doing good right now bro stay safe
this song almost feels like a checkpoint to me, once every now and then it seems to pop up in my feed and it brings a flood of memories in, a lot has changed since i last heard it, lost my girlfriend, got a new job, losing most my current friends and finishing college after my final exams soon, it’s so scary not knowing what comes next in life but at the same time i have this minor feeling of excitement for what the world holds for me, i wish everyone a blessed and safe 2025, love all you guys
I’m currently 17, I just finished my first trimester of junior year. Hopefully i’ll come back to this song later on in my life and realize how good my life was during this time. To the future me, thank you for sticking around, be yourself. Enjoy the people you have around you. I know it’ll get hard. You need to help yourself before you help others.
Damn bro i hope your doing good so far. Hows live been?
we are in this together man. its hell but i can tell this is the last time i have before i lose the child in me, which is probably already gone. 17 feels so young yet so grown, why do i feel this way at such a young age 😭
@@type2406 i’m also 17 and i feel the same way man. i felt like a little kid last year and i’m gonna be an adult in 3 months. wtf 😭
You will look back and realize, trust me.
Enjoy every moment you have left as a child. You’ll look back eventually and you need to make it worth your while
I like to imagine that, here, at the comment section, we just gather around this music and share bits of ourselves. Total strangers, who happened to cross each other's ways by bumping into this random, yet special, piece of art.
stories are how we connect. even if its only the briefest glimpse.
This comment section is like bros round a camp fire telling stories and thinking about the past
Yeah TH-cam comments on music centric videos is always this basically
Telling and sharing stories is a very special and human thing, like ancient peoples gathering around a fire…
The internet turned out to be so messy but comment sections like these take me back to the early days of the internet. Just a bunch of totally unrelated people doing their thing and connecting without a hidden agenda. This is what I love so much about the internet.
Hopefully, someday, I come back again to this song, and feel better than I feel right now.
same
Sending Love and good wishes my friend

How are you doing today
@@AMH793 I second this. Hope you're doing well and are at peace.
you will man.
Both my parents died of cancer with only 18 months apart. It’s been 5 years and I still dream of them most nights. I’m 37 and I just discovered a hard lump on my throat. I’m going to get it checked but I think I already know and my body is filled with a mix of dread and acceptance of what’s to come. I don’t think I can tell my sister. She’s been through so much already. I can’t share this with anybody. I live abroad and alone. I’m ready to go but also ready to fight as much as I can with the hopes that I can beat it secretly and weather this without distressing anyone who cares for me. I’m ok with not making it but the thought of how this will affect my niece and nephew devastates me. Just when I thought I was finally making my way in life. Nothing is certain. I love them dearly. I’m tired but determined. It’s ok
Love them as much as you can with the time that you still have.
love you whoever you are and wherever you are. you are not alone. We'll all get through what we are all going through. i wish the best for you.
Currently 12:05am , 24th September 2024, hey I’m Kris and i hope i’ll have a fulfilling life. I’m 18 years old and want to be a psychologist when I’m older. Next week i’ll be going to my first day of University. All I ever want is to be of importance in other’s people’s life, not just a side character. Hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to reply to this comment when I’m older as this will be my little capsule to catch up with myself. Life is fast and I intend to find peace and as I die think to myself that it was worth living. Wish me luck.
Hi Kris.
Don't let the search for importance in other people's lives turn you into a side character of your own life, okay? One has to live in order to be a positive part of someone's life, and to live is to experience and enjoy your life, not just merely survive and tick all the boxes you're supposed to tick every day. Easier said than done, and heavily dependent on one's circumstances, but trying to do it is what matters most. So try to always make some time for yourself and take care of yourself - those who love you truly will support you doing this, and those who don't will demand you give that time to them instead. Once or twice, maybe it's a mistake; regularly, it's a red flag.
Even if you know this already, take this as a reminder that there's nothing wrong with giving yourself that time. Stuff like sitting here and listening to this, time of your own and on your own. Hobbies, relaxation, personal projects, artistic expression, meditation, introspection, a walk outside. Whatever clicks for you. It'll do you more good than you know, and certainly much more than putting that time into the 'grind' of exploitation, ladder-climbing and over-exertion most of us are stuck in.
Best of luck with uni. Psychology is incredibly interesting - one of my partners is studying it as well, and I've done my fair share of diving into it but purely of my own interest rather than guided by a curriculum. If you have time, look not just at the works that serve as key points of reference for psychology, but also the works that surround them & their cultural moment. Or the works and ideas they study or borrow from, like pagan customs, religious practices of all kinds, Tarot & other "divinatory" introspection tools, tribal/shamanic healing practices, etc. The theory we're used to always feels so detached, like it popped out of thin air, but it's rooted in our interactions as a species over thousands of years and a myriad of different cultures. Taking notice of those elements and starting to examine them through a new lens is what led us here - and we still got plenty of work left.
Anyways, sorry for the impromptu wall of unsolicited advice, I see familiar patterns in what you express and I offer what I think may be helpful or interesting to you based on that.
Cheers, and have a good week.
@@BalthorYTyou are a good guy
Good luck Kris.
Also 18, last year of HS. I hope we all can achieve this.
God speed kris.
1 Oct 2024 1230am. Im 35 and have lived what feels like multiple lifetimes. I've been to war in the middle east and struggled through a rough mental illness while battling thoughts of suicide and ptsd. I lost my mom when i was 31 and went into a deep hole. In the next 4 years I've lost 100 lbs, been diagnosed with BPD, ptsd, and DID, gone through intense therapy, and strengthened my bond with my wife more than ever. I am currently the best version of myself that I've ever been and know that 15 year old me would be so proud. If you've made it this far know that you can succeed even if it feels like theres no hope left. I love you and i believe in you.
I believe in you too brother. the immense strength you must have to pull through war and suicidal thoughts and lose all that weight is inspiring.
I pray that you succeed in everything you dream for a live a wonderful life.
God bless from australia
Glad to hear you’re better now, you’re strong for going through all the surprises of life.

I'm 30 now. A few years ago I couldn't have imagined I'd be where I am now. As I write this, my soon to be wife is laying in my arms, in our house, our little piece of paradise.
Some moments, I wish they could last forever. Atleast I can cherish them as long as I am alive.
Take care of your loved ones and make sure they know you love them.. You never know when they'll be gone.
I'm 45 next year, I travelled the world, lived out my teenage dreams playing in a band and just tried to enjoy every moment, I had so much fun, despite some tough times too. So many people have come and gone and I can feel the time passing now. It creeps up on you. The world I grew up in doesn't exist anymore. Make the most of your time here.
Can I be ur friend ? I wanna learn from u and ur life.
I’m 38 and I feel that too. We occupy a shining moment in time & then suddenly that moment has passed us by and it becomes others time to shine, the younger generations. The world we knew & everything unique and special about it fades into memory that dims with each passing year. Sorrow and grief arrive more frequently and the poetic sentiments we once naively adored such as ‘everything is more lovely because it is doomed to pass’ no longer feel poetic, they feel unjust and inexorable. I think fondly of my youth, like you I travelled extensively, loved freely, met amazing (and awful) people, had experiences I’ll never forget, but now I hold a bitterness inside me that those days and that person exists now only in memory and will never again be.
I’m committed to living a gentle and quiet life now. I have a (gay) partner I love, nephews and nieces I adore & I want my legacy to be one of a person who was good & loving, who made this often-difficult world a little less of a burden, who felt safe and homely for those who need that & who can be felt by those I leave behind in this rare, beautiful moments of quietude & profound introspection.
@@WoodlandAsh for real brother, let any bitterness go, approaching 40 is a bit of a strange time, as it's natural to reflect, embrace what's good and reject whatever feels bad, I wholeheartedly agree with your words about youth and it can be quite painful to wave goodbye to, but everyone must lol, besides you can remain young at heart which is the key to not becoming tired and fed up.
Last October I left France for England, after 2 years of hard work and saving money I finally afforded me a music production school based in Manchester.
On 17th October, after saying goodbye to my dad I jumped in my car, and started a very long journey to England.
On 20 th October I finally arrived in Manchester. After few days of room research, finally found a place to stay.
a lovely room in the suburbs of Manchester (Salford/ walkden).
There was a lake next to my place that I used to walk almost every day even though it was raining and cold lol.
There was this bunch at the lake where I used to sat and listening to this track with a good view on the lake. Damn it felt so good.
Then I discovered that pub 5 min walking from my home, a pub full of very good lads, they all accepted me. Had very great times there
My class was perfect, good student, good teacher.
My times there was Epic.
On Monday morning 12th December I made a song, I posted it on SoundCloud then send it to my dad, he responded me " son you getting better and better "
On Monday evening, my step mom send me a text saying " your dad was admitted to the emergency cause he was feeling very bad and kept puking. The next day doctor found a pancreatitis to my dad. My step mom went to see him at hospital she told me he's very tired.
On Wednesday 14th I woke up at 9am check my phone, I had a text from my step mom saying that he still tired but he's doing fine he's on his way to recovering
Here's come 12pm I got a phone call from my step mom saying " your dad passed away ".
I was there alone in my room sitting on my bed, couldn't realised what was going on. I bought myself a ticket flight the next day to go back to France, I had to quit my school and everything I started in Manchester.
7 months later I'm here in his house taking care of his dogs, and still listening to this music, watching stars in the sky at the same times and thinking about him.
He was a very good man, always here for me. I can say I'm very proud to be his son !
All this made me realized that life is too short, and you have to enjoy every moment you spending on this planet.
Thank you England for this very good experiences.
Rest in peace dad, we will meet again.
I love you forever dad ♥️
Je te respecte infiniment, ton père devait être une belle personne, merci pour ce commentaire ❤
Thanks for sharing this❤️ too bad you had to leave school. Some day, a new oppertunity will appear. But it will only appear id you are open to it. Good luck and may your father rest in peace.
Hey man, I didn't know ur father but I can 100% tell u honestly that he was so so proud of u man. Going after ur dreams, building a career, and then also making the most of an unfortunate situation.
I'm proud of u too bro, u keep going n just know that ur an inspiration to many strangers from all across the world (including myself) bless up brother, hope you and ur fam are doing well, and give ur father's dogs a pet for me bro🙏🙏
Im sorry for you man. Im glad you had such an great father figure in your life. Every time you feel sad about your loss, remember those amazing experiences you had with your dad, as simple as they may be, always remember them and look back on them. Good luck to you 🫶

Ive instructed my friends and family for years that this song is to be played at my funeral. There should be no eulogy, no talking, just this song and silence. Played one time, and then its over. Everyone is to go home, and get on with their lives.
Over the years much has changed, but not this. Never this.
damn thats cool

It's 1.30 am, I've just received my university results, I'd already failed last year. Barely 2 years ago, I'd been accepted to a top school, I had great ambitions, I aspired to great things. It was my parents' only source of satisfaction.
I was lucky to have parents who introduced me to the world. Today, I realize that I gave them nothing in return. I was never really ungrateful, but I was never a source of happiness for them.
Despite this, I have the feeling that everything will work out and that one day I'll find my way among the infinite possibilities of the world.
Hey man,
It will all work out

To all of you lovely people, Aphex Twin has officially released this on streaming platforms. What a time to be alive.
Currently listening on Spotify and going through these beautiful comments again
Finally
Yes! And he is releasing this alongside an Expanded Edition of SAW II, but the full album’s release is on October
currently playing it on spotify and on youtube at the same time, but slightly out of synch. Try it! it works to layer beautifully.
tiktok pls leave this one alone
I’m laying in my old room, on my old couch with my old dog. She has cancer and doesn’t have long left here. We’ve been through so much together. I’m so happy I can come back to where it all started with my dog. I wish this moment could last forever.
Came home from uni today. Took a walk through the woods, past the spot I had my first kiss, the place I used to smoke at, and the spot I tried to take my own life. Just watching the water move at it’s own pace and my breath in the cold was true peace life can be beautiful bros
hey take care dude hopefully youre doing alot better now and if you arent doing well keep pushin dont give up Youll get there! and the fact that you got this far is already pretty dang impressive so keep going mate
Hey brother I hope and pray you are feeling better and stronger mentally . This life everyday bring me down but you gotta keep pumping keep thriving it’s time to

Good work man you pulled yourself out of that hole. Not many can do that. Keep using your mental strength and keep working hard for what you want
this is my first comment on youtube ever. my partner brought me here. she discovered this track yesterday night, listened to it over and over again and since then was begging to listen to it and read into the comment section. she loves comment sections. last night when she was probably still listening and reading here her sister went into labor and this morning gave birth to her first daughter. almost simultaneously one of my best friends became father for the first time. now i'm lying here on my couch on a cold berlin saturday in december, listen to this song and write this comment to make my partner happy. because she makes me happy every day. i don't know what kind of glitch of the universe this is here, but i'm grateful she found it. i'm staying. love u all. miss u babe.

My 8 year relationship fell apart last January, it’s transitioning from fall to winter now, for the entirety of 2023 I was stuck in limbo, not knowing what to do with myself everyday felt like a repeat. Listening to this while waiting to clock into work, I can feel 2024 will start a completely new and foreign chapter in my life. I am at peace now.
glad to hear how you're dealing with that, you got this bro
Congrats man! On to better things
Never Trust women they let you fall if your not enough for them anymore
Hey bro, I can’t imagine what that would have felt like but I’m glad you have found peace, I wish you all the luck with moving on with your life ❤
Hey, keep going, i totally got that, i think im falling down the same path with my gf and feel i cant do anything about it… 2024 will be a better year hopefully.
Just sent this video to my mum, and she sent back one of the most heartwarming messages I have ever received, its so important for me to always remember I am so blessed to have such a loving family and I should always be mindful of that no matter how things in my life are going because I truly am incredibly lucky
With this song as a witness, today will be the day I revert back to the good man I once was. I promise myself to no longer procrastinate. To not waste the life that millions would kill to have. I will realize my true potential. I was given a back to bear weights, not to turn it towards the people I love. I promise to be good, help others, and die great.
i love you for this you will make it ❤
you don’t wish to be anything, you are a good man, a great one.
We are your witness brother do it for him her and us
this is such a 3am lifeshaping comment😹
Amen
This song makes me appreciate what it is to be human. In a world full of deception and false glory, going through core emotions with yourself is still so real. Especially while listening to this song… take care.
I swear Aphex Twin songs have the best comment sections. It‘s incredible how music makes you feel and can change your life.
It’s because aphex twin has the best fans. Love you guys!
When certain sounds resonate with you on such a deep level, raw emotion flows out of us and onto our keyboards,

I turn 30 this year. Looking back at life I have been blessed to live through some amazing times. These past 4 years have been life changing, I lost the love of my life to my own shortcomings, I still feel that as a man I have so much to learn about myself and so much to unlearn. I’ve been jobless for the past 4 years. I feel like nothing I’ve ever done has amounted to any good. I look at my aging parents and realise I have such little time to accomplish so much to show my father that he can be proud of the man I’ve become. I have no idea where life is heading. Loneliness has been the only constant. But I’m glad for the little things. I love my family, my cat, my God, and those that choose to stick around even in the worst of times, though lately finding people like that seems to be more of a rarity these days. I hope one day I can look back and see how far I’ve come. I hope one day I can stop being my own enemy. And I hope one day I find someone that chooses to love me for who I am.
14 is when I started listening to Aphex Twin and now I’m 32. I’ve never had a close friend who also loved his music. Now I’m a year in with a girlfriend who I showed this and the other tranquil beautiful songs to. We listened to Stone In Focus for the moon rising over the ocean last year and I played Lichen for her the first time I wanted to open up more deeply with her....... and last night was the first time I told her I love her. Just wanted to share that
congrats man wish you two the best
I was 16 at the time. Just a safespsce to come bsck to
Man, I'm glad for you! Hope you have a great relationship!
Happy days my friend.
I'm so happy for you bro
Fascinating how he managed to make 3 chords remain interesting for over 10 minutes. I suppose minimalism is one of the driving factors in a good ambient track.
Richard or the monkey ?? Lol
Excuse me, this is Aphex Twin we're talking about. That level of quality is to be expected.
Nairam Diam yeah but it is just three chords tho
idk. it's okay when you're falling asleep but it's not intented for active listening imo.
Autechre's Vletrmx which basically has just like 5 different notes over 4 bars repeated for seven minutes sounds much more interesting and alive than this.
@@CuriousPassenger Somebody just state beauty of simplicity in a few chords. Not a comparison. We don't need a comparison to appreciate one thing or another. But thanks for sharing. It's still a valid opinion... :)
We played this during my brother's funeral. So thankful for Aphex.
It still hurts
D:
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope in some way he was able to enjoy the music a final time.
my deepest condolences..
jesus christ, these kind of comments make me want to unlearn empathy... just the mere imagination of having to attend my brother's funeral makes me feel sick. I'm so sorry for your loss, I really can't imagine what you have to go through.
@@cozymode70 You've spoke from the heart right there. I too sometimes wish i was born a psychopath. Human life, cognitive abilities, and the dark nature of the universe and nature is traumatizing and this stuff can be overwhelming the more conscious you are. I can envision you growing into a very strong person especially since you have the ability to reflect.
And although it's extremely hard to imagine death, but i believe it's just an illusion. Before you were born you were in a state of nonexistence when you die you might end up in the state you were before you were even a sperm before you father existed. Time is not the same or if it's even there when we die. But i'm sure it will be like waking up again on a new planet maybe the same as a living thing. It's still too hard to accept too because there are many horrible ways you will die and you'll have the most blissful lives as well. The universe is torture and all this for why? What purpose if at all? And does it even need a reason?
I'm 33 years old, and living the dream I used to dream when I was young. I have a beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, we own our own house, have strong and stable careers, we are close with our families and are so thankful to God for these blessings. I find myself here listening to this music while reading everyone's posts and its got me reflecting on my own life so far. I'm thinking of my childhood, my favorite tree to climb in the yard, my favorite meal my mother would make us, the hours spent building Legos with my brother, the adventures with friends through the forest and racing home before it became too dark to see, there's nothing I could possibly be afraid of... I'm thinking of my adolescence, my new friends at a new school, my new tastes in music, the posters on my bedroom wall, the discovery and frustrations of attraction, looking at myself in the mirror trying to fit in, watching childhood keepsakes collect dust on the shelf in my bedroom, thinking about my future, beginning to feel fear... I'm thinking of my entrance to adulthood, feeling like I found my identity-I'm on my path, reaching for a career I thought I wanted only to drop out of school without aim-I'll find another path, the drunken Taco Tuesdays after work with friends-still searching for my path, my list of close friends narrowing, my best friend being killed-I hope I find a path, feeling stuck in my hometown with no drive to do anything else-will I ever find my path, me pretending I'm content with not changing, is there even a path?... I'm thinking of my life now, my decision to take a leap of faith of moving out of state and into a career field I'm now thriving in, the 1 in a million chance I found the love of my life, and my children, who are discovering everything I once discovered for myself. My entire life, the highs and lows, the successes and failures, the new and old, the present and departed, all are a part of who I am and how far I've come. I'm happy now. This is where I want to stay forever.
Thanks for sharing man. I don’t think there is a path, only the next step you think may be the right one, and repeat that over and over again. Sometimes it doesn’t work out but the times it does really pays off
two days ago i had one of the worst days of my life and cried for more than an hour straight while watching videos of my dad who comitted suicide a few months ago and now im sitting at my dining table studying classical mythology with the sun shining off and on through my window thinking 'oh what a wonderful world we live in. it is going to be okay' and it is. it will. i am speaking to you, someone who is also having a tough time, you will find moments where you'll think this exact same thing, you will find peace and light and safety again. and i believe in you and i love you and i still miss my dad and wish he was here but i also still love him very much. and time will heal all wounds i promise
I’m so proud of you
you're so strong. Bless you
You are the kind of person I look up to and aspire to be. I'm certain what you feel is more than you can ever put into words, and I hope the moments where you can think that come to you as often as they ever possibly can.
than you man 😔
I love you too
I discovered this track 30 years ago during the happiest time of my life, and now I'm sitting here in despair listening to it during the saddest time in my life. My honest feeling is putting a bullet in my head right now just to end the agony I'm in, but that will only cause agony for my loved ones.
Seeing this beautiful stream of comments with people sharing their souls with each other and uplifting one another is a testament to RDJ's ability to unlock space, time, and spirit with sound. This track is the sound of life itself I feel, and there's a somber hope buried deep within it.
I hope to return to my comment in a much better state of mind and truly happy with my life. #19 has gotten me through brain surgery, my mother's death, graduate school, divorce, work, great relationships, and bad ones. I hope I get through this period alive, and I pray that whoever reads this can gain the energy to fight for peace another day. With heartfelt love to all of you - stay strong. ❤✊🏾
hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for your best. Keep living man life is priceless. bad times just happened and that's why you gotta be patient for when the good ones arrive.
Hope you’re doing okay. Life is worth living. Whether you believe in Him or not, God has a plan for you, and I’m praying the good times roll in soon. Stay strong brother, we all love you, and we’re all praying for you. You’re an inspiration.
@@MrDskillz13 man you are a fucking warrior. The sun will shine again, trust me. Big hug from my place to yours.
Please don't do it man. Please reply.
i hope you stay. the world is a better place with you in it.
Just got off the phone with my grandfather, my grandmother died in September and they were married for 60 years. He is a Vietnam veteran and my entire childhood has always been very reserved when it comes to his emotions. On the phone, he confided in me how lost he feels because he had just lost the one person who he has loved and known the most and longest in his entire life, and he doesn’t know what to do now. He has never opened up to me this much before or showed nearly this much emotion. During this phone call I connected more with him on a deeper level than I ever had before. He’s coming in town to visit at the end of the month. Call your grandparents if you still have them!
I’m laying down in an empty apartment with most of my friends asleep and I’m a little drunk. We’re all seniors in high school and about to go to college. I feel as though we’re in a crossroads in life. All eagerly anticipating graduating but at the same time nervous about our future. What college will we choose, what relationships will we still keep, and how many of us will keep in touch. It’s a little scary but also a necessary stage of growing up. All I know and hope for is that someday, we’ll all make it, and that our actions now will become fond memories to look back on and reminisce upon. All I can do now is to view the world with a big heart, and to treat people as exactly what they are: fellow humans just like me trying to forge their own path, and their own story.
Not even halfway through this video and I’ve shed the first tears I’ve had in years. I miss my family but they’ve all accepted that I’m different from them and moved on. I just want to feel loved by my parents again, I want my father to be proud of me without denying me affection.
While you await your dad's love, have some from the boys. You are here with us :)
Hey Clayton, if you feel like a black sheep in your family, just know that it’s for a purpose. You aren’t made to fit in, you’re made to stand out
Hey Clayton I personally don’t know you but I know you are loved by so many.
@@benrand1388 you too Ben. I can see you’re going through it but you still are there for others. That’s a wonderful thing ❤️
Clayton, we don’t know each other aside from sharing this piece of music. I think and believe that a person who can really express himself, is someone who I can look up to, who I can be proud of. Focus on building up your self confidence . How? By having fun being with yourself, doing things by yourself, exercise, play, distract from bad augury.
Don’t carry yourself around, enjoy yourself while being yourself.
I’m a 36 year old orphan. I lost my Mom to lung cancer in April of 2020 and I lost Dad to lung cancer in March of 2022. In between that, I lost my younger brother to chronic alcoholism in 2021 when he was only 29. It’s depressing to think the people you spend the most time with throughout your life will eventually just disappear.
I hope you are fine man
No one is given an immense pain like that without the possibility of being able to conquer it. I believe the strongest people get tested the most. I wish you the best man keep your head up❤️
im sorry
RIP to your fam i cried reading this, stay strong for your self and for people who loves you now.
i’m so sorry to hear this. i am grateful you got to experience their light even if it was not for as long as you had hoped. ❤️
In my opinion, this is the greatest song ever made, it feels like the finale to all music, the ending of everything, a good ending
The true ending.
Yeah now i suggest "windowlicker" and "come to daddy" from the same artist 😳
@@P.G.ABD99 I’ve heard both, I’m a huge aphex twin fan but this is definitely his best song imo
@@EthanG2214 i was just suggesting man.... my favorite is actually alberto balsalm
agreed
My mother had a hard life. She was a single mother who was abused and abandoned by her husband. This song. I see me going back in time through a time machine and stopping her from ever meeting my father. I see her young self 20 year old self standing in a bright summer afternoon close up with biggest smile . She is so happy she got a second chance at life where she lives happily ever after.
I sat and listened to this when i was 14 wondering where my life would take me....... I just turned 42 and it took me to a beautiful wife and 4 kids!
Dont spend too much time wondering about life people, go and live it, it will pass in the blink of an eye believe me!
I hope you live a beautiful and prosperous life with your family
Thats insane this has been out for that long. Im 17 right now and im, honestly really afraid to grow up. I hope I can find my way and end up happy, as I hope you did.
@@learntoswim515 great advice man
I'm 18 years old and insecure as fuck but trying to get through this feeling. I'll take your advice
Damn I love this. Cheers man!
I'm listening to this knowing it is time for me to take action and chase my goals because nobody is going to save me, to all of you out there i wish you the best guys we can do it. I Belive in you🙌
I've been struggling alot lately and thinking of giving up. Thank you stranger, I needed this
I'm so glad I see these kinds of comments from time to time.
Everyone, let us not lose hope. One day, the sun will shine for us.
I'm at the lowest point in my life while listening to this. I have a tumor in my knee and am unable to jump, run, or stand properly without pain. About a month ago I was driving home when someone turned out in front of me, resulting in a tbone wreck that totaled my car and injured me mentally and physically. Although I have recovered from the physical injuries, the wreck has caused me to become depressed again and demotivated to push toward my goals or even do the things I usually enjoy. I've spent the last couple years alone and in pain, wishing for at the very least a friend who can understand me. I turn 17 soon and I am in the same place I was years ago, but now I discovered this music. I hope that sometime in the future I can look back at this comment and see how my life has improved and changed for me.
Didn't I just see u in a meme asylum post comment section
Yeah, I also hope that after some years you will be able to proudly say that your life is improved. Rooting for you, bro, so never give up
Mucha fuerza para ti
You got this bro, the dark times will pass you, ik it feels like it won't but take it day by day, and in no time you will be where you wanna be. I believe in you
Hey, you are not alone mate! We hear you, i feel you! Everything happens for a reason, there is only upside from here ! When times are good be grateful, when times are bad be graceful. NEVER GIVE UP!
The past two years have been the hardest years of my life. Going through skin issues, health issues, doubts from family and friends, people praying on my downfall. Even though all that, my life is about to change in ways I wouldn't have imagined possible when i was young. All the hard work is starting to pay off, and the next chapiter will have me reach the pinacle of human society. I will never change, I love you all. My future children, this is for you.
I am in love with somebody who does not love himself. He tried to get sober again, and it stuck for a little, but I am watching him spiral back into his disease. I hear this song when I look at him. He is so beautiful. I don't know how much longer I can do this
Take care of yourself, the rest will follow.
you are so beautiful
You're a good willed person
This comment hit me hard - I was that somebody... I did not love myself, I was completely lost in perfection - I was stressing myself about my future. I was purely locked in. working hard on my business, on my body and trying to strengthen my mind. On that road, I lost all joy of my life. I stopped drawing, I stopped playing video games, I stopped loving myself. I did not feel anything - nothing. That has cost me my girlfriend. I broke her heart cause I simply wasnt mentally there. I am currently working on being myself again. Taking some time off, doing things I enjoy. I hope one day I will be able to hold her in my arms again. She is perfect, and I knew that. But I wasnt able to feel anything. I love you Jenny
I hope things will turn out fine for you and your partner.
Go so he can follow
Today I was found not guilty for a crime I didn't commit, it's been a brutal 6 months and this song came in my feed. With that and reading the comments, it made me tear up and value my life more
Gang I'm here for you, don't you forget that. One is all you get charish and nurture the moment of which you have.
@@User-_-Invalid thanks 😊
You got this brother, stay strong and enjoy every day of your life because as you may know, you never know when things might change
I am currently fighting a case of robbery, aggravated assault as a juvenile, a crime I did commit, I have court coming up in June, any advice? I'm currently on house arrest.
@@initial2593 no advice but you’re not alone..
11 seconds it took for 10 minutes of tears.
Rewind, swollen eyes, endless gaze, soul empty, mind paralyzed.
Rest in piece my best friend.
I miss my cat, my rabbit, my cockatiel and my parrot.
@@jackassir6060 I truly trust with all my heart you’ll see your friends again. They flourish now with you in their heart.
@@jackassir6060yeah I miss my cat. Had him for 15 years as I grew up and had such a bond with him unlike any other. This music makes me reflect on past times good and bad. As much as we want them back, it’s apart of life to live, love, grieve and appreciate the family, friends or companions we lost. Thankfully we had the memories and that never goes away.
Lying in my bed in my house listening to this track and thinking about my life. 5 years ago i broke up with my ex because it wasn't a good relation and i broke her heart. And i moved from Harlem to another part of the Netherlands. There i met the perfect girl for me, she brings out the best in me and for her i want to be the best i can be. We bought a beautiful house with a big garden what was one of my biggest dreams. And we just put our beautiful twins, who are almost 2 years old, to bed. I love my life and my family. And i realise that sometimes you need to break free from your old life to become the person you're meant to be.
I met a girl about a year ago. She was different than anybody I had ever met before. When she entered the room, it really felt like everything got more colours. I remember one night we would walk through the city after watching a movie together. She decided to hold my hand and I felt, I did not want this moment to ever end. We made a stop at a lake to look at the beautiful boats. I looked over to her and realised how pretty she is. I often got lost in the beauty of her eyes. I never wanted this night to end. Her personality was like a fire with big flames, I never met anybody who could ever come close to her. I absolutely loved her. I never got to tell her these things, we went different paths but she changed the way I look at people and I still think about her often.
woah..same fate mate.same feelings.I know I have to let her go, but deep in my heart, I trust that one day the universe will bring us together again when we are both ready, especially from my side.
As a kid i looked at a pretty girl, but i don't remember anything afterwards between us after i've told her a phrase i will later learn meant a very terrible thing that used a slang word (it meant let's do bed dancing). Now i have a different interest and i feel like something could actually blossom if i break out of my own tar and show that i am capable of love and socializing.
Lately i've convinced myself i AM depressed, because my default emotion is silent sadness and i was demotivated for a *long time.* But i can't find a way to express it best than to hope a friend or more, would notice, and give me the hand i needed (the amagi made a video based around if Sakura became Naruto's childhood friend, she helped him with grades, and as it hit a note and i burst into tears).
When somebody crafts a form of media that encapsulates pure happiness in a form of relationship or socializing, i kind of burst into tears, at first it was a movie about a soldier whose soul got sent into the afterlife to be reborn. But he was reckless while waiting in the line, and smoked dirt with the soul of a kid, even made friends who he may be fated to meet in life. However lady fate gave him a disability which he reacted very harshly to, and almost missed the bus to life, he ended up succeeding as a physicist, even though his mother closely supported him and had to help him do mundane activities such as dressing up, and his dad left because he couldn't bear the table tapping because of his disability. I suspect it's related to autism.
Point being, im not bad physically, not too bad intelligence wise, but i am in a heck of a cement mix and i just feel like i need somebody other than my parents to help me relearn the value of life. I think i had a dream about doors and in on of them i see my father's grave, which i think shows i hated his punishments more than i let on. I pray i don't let the things i legitimately hate consume me. It kind of feels like i see everything as dark shades of grey to black, imagine living with those colors visible to your eyes without feeling like a sack of shit.
TH-cam says i might want to edit the comment, don't worry, i don't have any bad thoughts, i just acknowledge the fact that i had them and i know well i never intended and never will intend to act up on them, they are intrusive in nature. Im voicing out that i hope for a good future but that i don't have the strength to will it into truth without a very strong motivation. When i think of people, i think the times that i exercise, i can put just a little bit more strength in that moment, but i'd want more. I might regret sending this one hell of a reply because i took a little discord distraction and now i think this is very cringe.
Woah I’m in the same situation. I fell in love with a girl who honestly she’s the best recent thing to appear in my life. She brings out the best in me, I still cherish the memories I have of her. But I learned she already has a boyfriend. I have to accept that she won’t be in my life much longer…
I feel you
This girl reminds me of my crush. She used to be in my school from 5th to 7th grade. Now we're in different schools because I live at the end of my hometown, and I had no other choise but to go to the nearest school to my block.
I’m a 22 year old single father. I lost my job a couple days before thanksgiving and have just finally gotten a new one. I’m falling in love for the first time since the mother of child left us for alcohol over a year ago. I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. I’ve regained my love for reading. I have picked up new hobbies. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been even though I’m in the most stressful position I’ve ever been in. Things get better. Life has a billion small joys that must be sought out. Keep going and you can find them.
god bless you man.
Real!
22 and a father? I bet you'll have a great connection with your child when they grow up a bit..that's awesome.
Don’t ever give up ❤️🩹
That’s so good to hear keep at it king 👑
Im writing this on november 3rd 2024 at 1:17 AM.
I miss my mom. I miss her a lot, listening to this track makes my head play memories back like an old VHS tape, when some of the film was messed and it would chop to the next scene but i dont get mad when it cuts off. She passed february 26th 2021 at 11:10AM. And i miss her a lot. She passed on right before my first year as a teenager, so ill let yall do the math. But ever since then i was forced to grow so fast that i feel like im 23, but in reality im not even 18 yet. She was the best woman i ever knew and always was able to help when i was down, learning how to help myself was one of the most humbling adventures thats still on-going, but its starting to get easier while also kicking me in the butt. 30m before writing this i was considering taking a one-way trip to see her again but i wouldnt wanna ruin what she created. A human. Normally id never vent in comment sections but ive been wanting to write for a long time and i saw people typing here, so i figured id hop on. Reading these comments makes me feel hopeful that theres others struggling like me but then they pull through and its a good feeling. I check in here every month or so and honestly i wouldnt have it any other way than with my mom by my side again, but since thats impossible ill settle for second-best. Thank you for reading.
- bloof
That's beautiful man, keep going strong, you've got this.
Keep going g
Keep going friend, you will make her proud oneday. You will get to see beautiful things coming your way soon.
hang in there bud we'll all make it
Im so proud of you
For the past 8 minutes I’ve been tearing up reading strangers comments listening to this song. My story is I had just moved to another country about a year ago and for most of the year I was depressed, lost, unmotivated and just felt like nothing. I lost my friends, people that felt like family the important people in my life. I was finally convinced to go to university so I applied and got accepted, typically I would’ve liked to keep my head down and do what I had to do. But I gave myself a chance to try and enjoy this new experience, I met this girl and we just clicked. All day everyday we would be together not because we liked each other but because of the bond we had together. Things became more personal between us and it prompted us to share how we felt together. That was the biggest mistake of my life, I saw her for the first time in a month today, with no prior contact. I was doing ok up until today, it’s now 4:07 AM and I keep writing messages that i know I’ll end up deleting.
Wish me luck..
Last winter i was extremely depressed and listened to this song alot, i cried to it alot. I used to feel so incredibly empty but recently im feeling way better and hope this winter will be better. I hope everyone who is struggling sees through their struggles.
This winter will be great I'm sure of it
Last winter was the lowest ive ever been in my life. I remember queueing this song three times in a row while taking the metro to work, and just listened to this for 30 minutes straight. I learned from what happened last year and things got better in the summer, but its getting tough again. I hope things will be different this year.
Last winter and the start of 2023 was really bad for me. It's so easy to slip into a depression, and once you are there its so hard to see any way out. This winter will be much better. We will do great :)
I feel you man, currently just clawing my way out of a rut right now. This kind of music is quite therapeutic and I think is necessary to start healing. If you are into foo fighters I can suggest their earliest albums "Exhuasted" hits you right in the feels
Whatever you do don't listen to William basinkis degraded loops or whatever that track is called
"It's gonna be f***ing cold when I stand up outta this water. I'll just sit here a little longer....."
Like me in my bath until the bath gets cold too..
Same with humans clinging on to life.

I found this through a post on instagram… I have been struggling with myself a lot lately, even though I live a life I have dreamed of years ago. I have been seeing a therapist a lot lately but it just doesn’t seem to get that much better. The more I find out about myself the more pressure I put on myself… I’m 28 years old and lost my best friend to suicide 8 years ago. My granddad, who was my biggest inspiration and my safe space had to go 3 years ago and from the moment my friend died, I was not able to cry anymore… until now… I’m sitting in my bathroom, listening to this song and reading random people’s comments here… crying the first time in years… I can’t thank all of you enough… wherever you are and whoever you are, you just had a hige impact on me and my life, and I wanna thank you for that!
Warm embrace
Hey friend, keep your head up and take each day one moment at a time. Life in its sum total is the ever-shifting divide between love and grief, spurred on by the currents of time & ebbing / flowing of experience. I’ve been listening to Aphex Twin since the late 90s and am a decent bit older than yourself, but check out the tracks colloquially terms ‘lichen’ & ‘blue calc’. Also the song ‘to heal’ by Underworld. They’re all songs that helped carry me through difficult experiences in my time. Hope you’re doing well friend 🙂
This piece was carved out of rock a billion years ago. This is what the universe sounds like when you can't die from time.
Masterfully expressed.
In the fabric of space where time becomes a loop

Been coming back to listen occasionally, from high school, through gap year and now Uni. Love, loss, many failures and major victories. A man does not listen to #19 twice, for it is not the same monkey and he is not the same man
