      I just made a comment about it myself! lol! If you listen, you can hear Suo Gan (it's an old Welsh lullaby.) during the strings bit. :)

    • @rarecoast9000

      I just gave it a listen and I do see what you mean! Stolen or not, it's a very nice song to be linked with 😜 I'm glad you were able to hear the similarity to suggest it. Do you think Rostam did it on purpose?

    • @rarecoast9000
      @rarecoast9000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Edward Lloyd I also just realised that you are not the same person who initially suggested that it was stolen haha, so you get two responses in one

    When he says "you're really still awake? why can't you go to sleep, like everybody else?"
    I giggle a little, cause I feel like he's talking to me. Thanks Rostam for another great song!

  • @sophiesomerville9294

    I think this is a really good song to listen to in the morning, when you're depressed becos you're going to work but the train is rocking gently and the sunlight is flickering through the window and you have that small quiet moment of peace

    Ethan Hawke said that the world is a terrible critic, especially when it comes to creativity. This song is a perfect example. Such a brilliant piece, lyrically and instrumentally deserves many more views. I’m just glad that this beautiful thing exists.

  • @arze2023
    @arze2023 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Whooooo wee I missed this. Invokes a sense of nostalgia for somewhere I've never been... I agree with always hearing the smile in his voice! Missed ya, Rostam. Can't wait for the album.

    You really get a feeling for the softer side of Vampire Weekend on his tracks.

  • @thewhatness
    @thewhatness 7 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    This fills my heart with that same wistful feeling of breathlessness I got on my first listen of Modern Vampires of the City: suddenly my surroundings were awake, every little mundane detail sprung to life, and in an instant, I felt my city exhale in unison. It made me appreciate my home more than I could ever have imagined. You stay one place for all your life, and even if it's the coolest place on the planet, it tends to get stale. But when I listen to this, I feel my home take in its breath through the concrete, humming with that ever-present ambiance. And for a few fleeting moments, I am no longer crushed by the weight of isolation between a ceaseless run of cloud-piercing buildings amidst a sea of 8 million faces. I'm a raindrop in a tempest. I'm a wooden plank on the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm exactly where I need to be. And I'd give anything to feel that way everyday. God, I am so excited for this album.

    the last 44 seconds of this song hit me so hard.....it's so bittersweet to a point where i don't know if i should be crying or smiling...rostam is truly a genius.

    Joy radiates from Rostam in Gwan. Love the use of the strings... feels dreamlike. My current favorite song (not just of Rostam, but of everyone I am listening to),

    When I woke up from a bad dream,
    I was sleeping in a basement,
    leaves were falling on the pavement,
    I was happy in the city,
    took a friend's car to the ocean,
    are you ready, are you ready?

    • @iAlexLopes
      @iAlexLopes 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      it's just i'm tired of "mainstream" pop... i think Rostam brings a fresh vibe to pop music, without sacrificing good quality, beautiful arrangements and overrall greatness.

    • @Skat9
      @Skat9 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      iAlexLopes let's hope we'll get a rostam album and VW album this year.

    • @iAlexLopes
      @iAlexLopes 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      oh yes... today i read an article people are getting a press release from Rostam's camp that his debut album will be released later this year.
      about the VW album, it might be released this year, next year max

    The first time I heard this sing was by complete accident. I don't listen to the radio much I guess in a way it makes me feel like I'm part of a cliche. it was on Sirius FM radio and I couldn't turn it off and I got my phone real quick and looked it up and then listening to it every since this guy is an artist of precession history instruments remind me of something that is written in the stars.
