I discovered this song in a very dark period of my life. I was tired, sick, wanting to die from the pain I was in. So depressed. But every day I had to walk through a park on the way to my apartment...and I would play this as I passed through it. It always cheered me up. Today I am healthy and enjoying life. And still listening....
I heard this song for the first time when I was around 11 or 12. (I’m 23 now). It will always remind me of childhood and hot, sticky summer evenings. Listened to it when I visited spain for the first time and I listened to it sitting in the park behind my grandmother’s house. So many good memories attached to this. So much time has gone by and so much pain has been endured but occasionally I’ll revisit this tune and just close my eyes and sink into the feeling…
Same!! I spent three years trying to find this song and then finally I watched the movie The Switch and when the end credits started I was like OMG that’s the song!!!!!
My daughter Ruby was born while this song was playing right when the song kicks in she slipped out. I’ll never forget that moment me and bibio shared, thanks dude.
My parents have a video of me dancing with them to this song back when I was 3 or 4ish in our kitchen that was small with the really ugly tiles but every time I hear this song it fills me with a overwhelming sense of happiness remembering those times but at the same time it makes me incredibly sad and nostalgic but one thing I know for sure is that I truly love this song.
I used to listen to this song when I was 12yrs old always wondering.. "who's gonna be THE love of my life.. who will this song be so meaningful towards?" Sometimes getting sad in no hope of ever finding love. Now I listen to this with the love of my life & our son, someone who I manifested into my life for so long 💛(:
LYRICS: Lovers' names carved in walls Overlap, start to merge Some of them underneath Maybe they appear in graveyards Maybe they fade away Weathered and overgrown Time has told Meaningful hidden words Suddenly appear from the murk Maybe they're telling us That the end never was Never will The words have gone But the meaning will never Disappear from the wall.
I implore anyone who enjoys this song to read the lyrics. Such a poppy, happy tune, but the lyrics are straight outta Simon & Garfunkels brains. Poetic, tear-coaxing words
I hope people can learn to appreciate this type of music :) it's not boring! It's awesome and I can't wait to roam around the streets during this rainy season while thinking of my love and listening to these blissful tunes.
I've only experienced synesthesia a few times in my life and this song was by far the most intense. When I listen to the first minute and a half of this song I can see an old 1700s farmer out in the parries. Sitting in a homemade rocking chair on his front porch looking out over the wheat field, smoking a pipe and watching the sun set as the wind gently blows through the grass like waves on the ocean. Gently rocking to the tempo of the song, the chair stops rocking just as the last rays of sun fall beyond the horizon and the first half of the song ends. The rest of the song is great but for whatever reason my brain blasts my awareness with this scene, fully fleshed out and with incredible detail every time I listen to it and close my eyes. I don't get this with any other songs. Not sure what's going on here but I'm glad I found it!
I've been looking for this song forever. I've always found this song nostalgic because I have an absurdly fond memory of me listening to this song in the car when I was little. I can't be more than amazed that I finally stumbled upon this video.
Bibio was first introduced to me as an Adult Swim bump like almost a decade ago or so and this song is like timeless for me. it’s weird I get nostalgia from it but it’s always kinda like a new experience for me listening to bibio
This song so vividly reminds me of a specific old love i had a couple of years back. She introduced me to Bibio and taught me a few things i never knew about myself. Like most things in life it wasnt meant to be. Its nice to be able to look back with fondness at a happy part of your life. If you ever read this Jess, i hope wherever you are or whatever youre doing, youre happy x
She’ll see it some day. Cheers mate 🍻 “Lovers' names carved in walls Overlap, start to merge Some of them underneath Maybe they appear in graveyards Maybe they fade away Weathered and overgrown Time has told Meaningful hidden words”
If you excise the intro, it's an incomplete song. Yes, it's an impossibly catchy hook, but it feels shallow and one-dimensional without the context. The intro makes the change in tempo/tone more significant and "earned."
I remember a girl showing me this song that I barely talk to anymore. I was just a high schooler, hanging with my friends, being myself, not realizing what was to come. I'm not bitter about where I am now, just happy that I got to experience youth, which I feel so many fail to realize they got. I can be a grown up, knowing I got my youth, and this song was a large part of it. Something about this song is so special.
Takes me back to the days of no responsibilities and having fun. Kids, don’t rush to grow up. Savor your childhood before it’s gone because once you’re a young adult, the days go by faster and there’s less time for fun and games. Get off your phone and hang out with your friends and family!!!
If your reminiscing on your child hood while listening to this and you have a tear come down your eye it’s tears of joy and sadness because you miss those times and your happy you grew older…… THATS WHAT THEY CALL NOSTALGIA
All 6th grade my math teacher played this song, I loved it! I then forgot about it. Now I’m in 7th grade and saw the Hyundai commercial and the memories just hit me like a bullet, thanks mr Hazel for the memories.🤧
I remember hearing the intro to this song in Adult Swim bumps back in the day, and I always assumed it was some classic folk song from the 60's. I was delighted to find out this is actually a much more recent song. Just goes to show that timeless classics can still happen in this day and age.
This reminds me so much of summers in London it’s the first place I went to when I heard it especially the 00’s pre smartphone walking around with your house keys and your flip phone which was purely for calling and texting- on your way to somewhere to meet your friends and remembering the directions in your head. And then I saw artwork and I was stunned. I knew it was a London street straight away almost identical to the one I grew up on and he pretty much looks like he’s living the exact scenario it took me to in my head haha I think I stared at it on my Spotify for the whole duration of the song when I first saw it. I mean a song might remind you of an era in your life but I’ve never been THAT accurate before. Love.
First time i heard this song was about 9 years ago. It was lightly playing in a scene from the movie 10 years and i searched and searched for it and loved. recently watched the film again and fell in love with it all over again. Makes me smile!
Finally I found this song it took me years to be exact like 12 years it I remember hearing when I was like 11 roughly and over the years I lost it but randomly it would come to my head every now but could never really pin point who it was who sung it but I found it!!! After all this time Finally I can rest in peacefully
The song asks what of meaning remains after the many ephemeral relationships one strikes up in the course of life have long run aground. The metaphor of a wall where one might chalk up each new ‘conquest’ is employed. As woman upon woman, lover upon lover is written on the wall, their names - and in parallel their emotional import - start to overlap. St. Vincent asks in the song ‘the Strangers’; “What do I share? What do I keep from all the strangers who sleep where I sleep?” Bibio relates how even if the individuals (‘ names) have been forgotten, the myriad experiences which were shared with all the lovers as a total still constitutes meaning which can last, even if the individual relationships don’t.
Wonderful guitar work, when I heard this I shazamed it and was expecting a release date from the late 60's. Glad I discovered it. The intro to this songs feels like something you would hear on the soundtrack for Midnight Cowboy.
funny how a lot of us know this song from our early years and were reminded of this gem through a hyundai commercial. can’t believe i’m saying this, but thank you hyundai!
Here because of the Hyundai commercial, but I remember this from Adult Swim. Couldn't Shazam it at the time, though, so I couldn't find it back then. x3 Edit: Oh wow, just got to the lyrics, and they hit hard. So few, but so strong.
Funny how a commercial gets a lot of people to check a song out huh? I am here for the same car commercial but I remember hearing it before. Can not place how but now that you say Adult Swim I bet that is it Buffer music at the commercials? That is my guess
the clap is a stroke of production genius its run thru a low pass filter and staggered so it is like a mix of s finger snaps and a clap. and doesnt impede on the jammy flow of the melodies.

Today I am healthy and enjoying life. And still listening....
this is beautiful. I am going to do the same thing. And find life again thanks to music.
just as its intended to do.. shield one from gloom :)
Wow, I can totally relate to your story. I'm very glad you're better (and still enjoying good music)!
God bless you all good ppl❤
Glad you’re still here. ✊🏻
The intro has to be the most beautiful thing in the world
And adalt swimest in the world.
Confirmed
I'm going to get married to this song in August. I love it so much.
+plus_stine good for you!
@plus stine Congratulations!!!
how did the wedding go??
I'm going to get assfucked to this song tonight. I love it so much. Wish me luck ;) #firsttime
oh man what a great song to get married to, congratulations!

LITERALLY TOOK ME YEARS TO FIND THIS SONG AND FINALLY FOUND IT!
Same!! I spent three years trying to find this song and then finally I watched the movie The Switch and when the end credits started I was like OMG that’s the song!!!!!
that’s the best feeling
@@jonathanlawrence4329 I just did the exact same thing I had to Shazam it lol this song has waiting for me for years
It was the end credits of a Jason Bateman movie and I am here now after years....
I've been looking for this song for over a year or so and I just kind of hummed it on my Google pixel and viola it found It!! Technology FTW!!
My daughter Ruby was born while this song was playing right when the song kicks in she slipped out. I’ll never forget that moment me and bibio shared, thanks dude.

Cute story❤❤
That's so beautiful💛
One of the more beautiful songs ever written
LYRICS:
Lovers' names carved in walls
Overlap, start to merge
Some of them underneath
Maybe they appear in graveyards
Maybe they fade away
Weathered and overgrown
Time has told
Meaningful hidden words
Suddenly appear from the murk
Maybe they're telling us
That the end never was
Never will
The words have gone
But the meaning will never
Disappear from the wall.
bloody brilliant lyrics
Bloody brilliant
Eugenio Gervasio no
La la laa laaa la la la laaa lala lalala
Thank you!!!!
That beginning part has such late 60s hippie vibe to it..which I love
Yes, late 60s, early 70s. Like Buffalo Springfield, Joni Mitchell, etc.
It reminds me of something that would be in a 70s children's stop motion TV show.
I implore anyone who enjoys this song to read the lyrics. Such a poppy, happy tune, but the lyrics are straight outta Simon & Garfunkels brains. Poetic, tear-coaxing words
This album paints some of the most beautiful parts of my life. Chances of you seeing this are low but thanks bibio for making my life what it is.
Right on.
Memories of a beautiful girl somewhere in the world right now
This is such a groovy song to just chill to. It starts with a calm acoustic feel then just gets upbeat and so catchy.
+Tuku Tuki He-man!! HEYAYAYAYAY I said HEY whats going on?
+Tuku Tuki *MYAH!*
Stephen Wilkinson was one of my lecturers in my first year of college. He left when he got signed to Warp. I just wanted to brag a little about that.
Szaam that's amazing
lol
I think about this comment a lot
Can I be you?
What did he teach?
Just watched' the switch' on Netflix! end credit song .This made my heart happy 😁 Cute Lil ditty 🎶
Fell asleep next to my one watching that out of redbox and this is the end credits... stuck in my head forever more....
I hope people can learn to appreciate this type of music :) it's not boring! It's awesome and I can't wait to roam around the streets during this rainy season while thinking of my love and listening to these blissful tunes.
ash lee I agree! I listen to this kind of music all the time and people always tell me its boring lol :( I still love it tho :D

It's a shame that this version has a fraction of the views compared to the one that cuts to the most recognisable part. The full song is beautiful.
what other musics have cuts from this music?
As in, someone has uploaded a video where it plays from 1:27 and has got way more views than the original video (this one)
If you excise the intro, it's an incomplete song. Yes, it's an impossibly catchy hook, but it feels shallow and one-dimensional without the context. The intro makes the change in tempo/tone more significant and "earned."
the song part is throwaway for me...the first min and a half however are an absolute joy
Fuck that the intro is great
This is definitely the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
H. Anthony Ribadeneira I definitely have I just haven’t heard this song in years. I was reminiscing lol
I remember a girl showing me this song that I barely talk to anymore. I was just a high schooler, hanging with my friends, being myself, not realizing what was to come.

thankyou for this music, i am alive thats all that matters
It took me 20 long minutes to remember the name of this band and finally find the song again. I'm so proud of myself right now!
Me too it’s really hard to google if you can’t quite remember the title or band
If your reminiscing on your child hood while listening to this and you have a tear come down your eye it’s tears of joy and sadness because you miss those times and your happy you grew older…… THATS WHAT THEY CALL NOSTALGIA
1:27 Whenever I listen it, I feel very cheery. Oh! my life is so enjoyable. There is NO sadness, NO troubles and NO distress. Life is beautiful..💙 🇧🇩
The guy is a genius! Unbelievable the range of styles and genres that he shows on this album. My god!
Oh my goodness...nostalgia just kicked me in the gut. I wanna cry for no reason...
All 6th grade my math teacher played this song, I loved it! I then forgot about it. Now I’m in 7th grade and saw the Hyundai commercial and the memories just hit me like a bullet, thanks mr Hazel for the memories.🤧
This is an AMAZING song! And WE got married to it :) It's sooo happy!

Congratulations! I hope you have a great life together! :D
Jaime Brown wish you the best!
Congratulations
Since 2012 this song has saved my life multiple times.
This song makes me feel things. It will be played at my funeral.

Master Beishline me too! 😂😂

@@enkay896 10 Years i think

After all this time Finally I can rest in peacefully
Heard this song in an Irish pub in Barcelona, had to Shazam immediately such a vibe made me feel so at peace 🥰
I hope we have all had the chance to carve a lover's name somewhere ... even if it was only on our heart.
1:27 Thanks Cougar Town for introducing me to this song and actually quite a bit of others now that i think of it.
The song asks what of meaning remains after the many ephemeral relationships one strikes up in the course of life have long run aground.

le plus beau FILM que j'ai pu voir ces dernières années. Acteurs superbes….magnifique et émouvante histoire . BRAVO
”dom är alldeles för kåta flickorna i Båstad”🎤🎶

" vet inte vad hon heter, jag kallar henne shawty"
I been trying to find this song for A LONG TIME and I finally found it. It always putted me in a good mood and finally discovering it makes me happy
I first heard this song in an Amazon Kindle coomercial several years ago. Love it.
Listened to this album YEARS ago and just rediscovered it. Good stuff.
Hyundai brought me here!! So glad to remember this song again!!
ive been trying to find this song for 7 years omg it’s been killing me but here it is !!!
happy for you
I lost all of my music and managed to find this song again and I'm so happy
I love this song from the bottom of my heart
2009 was a great year for music! Miss middle school now lol
I cannot express the wonderful beauty within this song💞
This was used as our wedding reception slide show! Amazing Track!!
Just heard this in a commercial, it sounds like a 70s song, a la Joni Mitchel or some other 70s folk group.
"Here's to the calming magic of this music, a gentle balm for the heart. 🌸🎵"
They put this on a Hyndai commercial..I can't believe it. I love this band and it took damn near 15 years to show them some love.
This song is perfection.
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW FUCKJNG HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW
Same here, end credits of a Jason Bateman movie....
i love the intro! so soothing and calming. I'm a dancer and my teacher occasionally uses this song and it makes me so so so happy!!!
I sent this song to a girl I liked when I was 17. Came across it the other day. It's been 5 years. Time flies...
Tim Beck same bro
And? Complete the story! What happened?
Now it's been a year since you've commented this
I'm 41 you have no idea.
Did u hit?
I discovered this song in a weed growing video. That was almost 8 years ago now and I don't even smoke weed anymore. What an absolute gift.
i danced to this in the morning, while everybody was asleep. It made me feel so happy :).
i am mature now, but i will never forget the days when nice guitar riffs made me feel good.
Wonderful guitar work, when I heard this I shazamed it and was expecting a release date from the late 60's. Glad I discovered it. The intro to this songs feels like something you would hear on the soundtrack for Midnight Cowboy.
le plus beau que j'ai pu voir ces dernières années. Acteurs superbes….magnifique et émouvante histoire
I actually enjoy the first part even more.
It's a quaint feeling, like a slowly setting sun over the countryside.
Brings Happy Tears to my eyes
Been looking for this song for 3+ years after hearing logic the dream ❤ finally, march 21st... I am blessed, it's just as beautiful as I expected.
I heard this song for the first time at the end of a movie I can’t even remember. Years later and this is still my go to for peace and serenity
It was probably the movie The Switch. Great song!
This is the kind of music i like to recommend to her
This song goes from nowhere to nowhere and i love it. Real stoner music.
This song will become popular again. I heard it on a YouTubr today and haven't listened to it properly for some years
Yes lol it got sampled by a swedish band called ”hov1” but now it got copyrighted
That intro! - it made me cry and I don't why.
Brings back so many memories. Not all of them pleasant, but memories regardless.
funny how a lot of us know this song from our early years and were reminded of this gem through a hyundai commercial. can’t believe i’m saying this, but thank you hyundai!
Very relatable
Visionary we takin' over the whole biz #RattPack
I remember this so much, been years
this song is so beautiful and then it just gets more beautiful
Here because of the Hyundai commercial, but I remember this from Adult Swim. Couldn't Shazam it at the time, though, so I couldn't find it back then. x3
Edit: Oh wow, just got to the lyrics, and they hit hard. So few, but so strong.
Lmao, also here from the Hyundai commercial. The moment I heard this, it brought me back to years past. Had to find out what it was called again.
Funny how a commercial gets a lot of people to check a song out huh? I am here for the same car commercial but I remember hearing it before. Can not place how but now that you say Adult Swim I bet that is it
Buffer music at the commercials? That is my guess
I can feel early Bibio vibes from this song,I love it😍
To be 22 again i miss it sooo. Lol love thos song the movie 10yrs brought me back
i feel so lucky to have found this. thank you for this masterpiece 🙏
Still remember this from the infamous Google Glass commercial that Google wants us to forget.
Here because of Logic-The Dream. He sampled this and it was too good to just ignore. I had to find the original.
FlashSquad same
Here because Philadelphia rapper & battle rap great Rone sampled this on a song he has called "Stranger" which i feel is way better than logics remix
Fuck logic
What song is that with logic
@Bryan ok my bad i smoke
Glad more people are discovering Bibio and this song because of the Hyundai commercial. It's such a beautiful song.
bibio must be the happiest dude i listen to
Totally!
when the stars align and the sky explodes, I'll be there of this I know
This song is beautiful
So so unbelievably beautiful!!! Reminds me a bit of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Never Going Back Again’
thank you pulling this song from the universe and playing it for us
I first heard this song in an Apple commercial years ago. Thank you Hyundai Palisade commercial for bringing it back and letting me finally find it!
some beautiful bastard put this on an advert in the uk in the mid 2000s. loved it ever since
bibio is english anyway
I need to seriously save this song to a playlist lol I always forget the song name and artist but randomly start singing it.
the clap is a stroke of production genius its run thru a low pass filter and staggered so it is like a mix of s finger snaps and a clap. and doesnt impede on the jammy flow of the melodies.
It's been a great long time since I've heard this song and only because I wrote it down on a piece of paper long ago! It's good to be back :]
forever one of my favorite songs
