Jesus H. Christmas, way to give off creepy, Caretaker esque vibes, except in a brilliant and unique way, like he might come up with but hasn't himself, to use the same exact song for an hour, unlike The Caretaker, but have it deteriorate in such uncanny and unsettling ways as if it *was* the constantly shifting song set of The Caretaker. Having a singular track slowly go awry, with complementing visuals, to boot, is quite blatant, but very profound to witness, nonetheless. All I was looking for was a helpful loop as background music for a while, but realizing after 10 minutes what changes were occurring that weren't imagined or hallucinations, I realized I was getting so much more than that. I'm proud. 👏🏻👏🏻

This song feels like walking through an abandoned structure, trying to figure out what it is, while not paying attention to anything around you. Hours? Days? Years? Decades? Centuries? Millennium? There is no passage of time, while also time is moving so fast. Where did you come from? You look out one of the windows, nothing, just a field, not a cloud in the sky, not a single noise, no birds, no cars, just you.

I remember I had this on loop in early July. I sat in a chair in front of my window the entire night up until 9 am, drawing. I cannot describe the feeling I had hearing this with the noise outside of a waking neighborhood. I distinctly remember hearing birds, the scratch of stray pebbles underneath shows from people walking their dog that had a jingling collar, cars leaving their houses, and soft chatter of my neighbors. My room was slightly cool from the summer breeze, I was full of energy I can only get from staying up like that. Early July contained some of the most genuinely terrifying and calming moments of my life and this song was the only thing that made that time period tolerable.

Whether it's depression, mental illness, or even if not that, whatever is getting to you, internally and psychologically calling out to you, those can be cruel mistresses, affecting more than we imagine in the most unlikely places and ways.

[@zenith7910]

I miss my grandma, not in a way you’d imagine though. I only saw her when I was maybe 7 or 8, well over a decade. What upsets me is that I never really knew her, I never got to ask, or even care, all because I saw her as a stranger when I was a kid. I couldn’t even hug her without feeling uncomfortable. I wish I could sit with my grandma now and talk about everything and everyone. Shit makes me feel sad and guilty, this song kind of has that aura to it, like someone you should know and love, but you can’t, all because they was a stranger to you. One thing that stuck with me was that my grandma had dementia, something I’d learn later on in life. My mother would say how she’d respond to her conversations. Such as how my grandma would forget what she asked, and would ask my mother, my mother would say it didn’t matter, and how it wasn’t relevant. But, my grandma would completely forget what my mother said about how her question didn’t matter, something she had said mere minutes ago. Dementia is fucking scary, at the worse, you forget your loved ones, you forget you’re dying. You forget that you had forgotten, I’d rather die. I hope you guys are having happy thoughts, I love you all.

[@juliusofthelake1458]

I deeply relate to this comment. Sorry for your loss

[@masonf7332]

Same. My grandmother just passed away from Alzheimer’s like 6 months ago. That shit is insane, when I was a kid and she was a bit younger she always was cooking and cleaning and always doing stuff like that and she loved it, the woman never rested and always liked to do that kind of stuff at her home, she enjoyed it, it kept her busy. But Alzheimer’s turned her into nothing but a zombie for the past several years. It’s scary to know there’s a disease out there that does nothing but fucking slowly rot your brain. Sorry for your loss too by the way.

[@drakep.5857]

I hope you're doing alright, man. I lost my great grandad a few years ago. I never spoke to him much, he was rather quiet and couldn't read. But he had a workshop, a truck, and a bucket of Legos I'd play with when I would visit him. He'd always just watch me, content with life. Sometimes he would talk, and usually when he would he would tell me about how he used to be a painter back in ww2, painting the runways on the airfields built during the island hopping campaign. Eventually, his wife passed away due to health complications, and after that, I didn't get to see him much. About a year or so later, he passed away as well. Lung cancer I think, he was never a smoker. He just had a lot of black stuff in his lungs that wouldn't go away. The last day I visited him as he was alive, he was hooked up to this big machine in his living room, he would lay in a big metal bed. The one thing I remember so vividly is the sound of it. You hear that stereotypical machine-assisted breathing sound so much in shows, movies, even cartoons. It's like a cartoonishly hospitalish sound. And I heard this stereotypical sound in such a... strange and tragic context. It really made me see it in a different light. It felt so, well. I don't think I can describe it. His funeral was the first and probably last time I'll ever see a dead person before me, it was rather surreal. Sad. But not traumatizing at all. I'm a atheist and have no belief in souls or the importance of bodies, but I will say, he looked peaceful there. It made me think about his life, what it was like living from 1923 to 2018. Never able to read, but able to enjoy life. Now, I'm about in your boat. I wish I could just go back in time and talk to him a while, a long while. Give him some company. I feel so sorry that he was so alone in his sunset months. I still think about him sometimes. I remember well one thing he used to do. He would want to call me sport, little sport. He always heard and pronounced it as spout. Little spout.

jesus christ this comment hits differently. i often have dreams about my grandpa, he died from ALS. seeing someone like him, always active, taking care of his garden and the lawn, being reduced to constantly lying in a chair, not able to talk, not able to move, the only sign he could give us was a "thumbs up." my grandpa had this thing that he did with all his grandkids, it's like a pinky promise, but we didn't really promise anything. it was weird like that. i remember the last time i visited him in the hospital, he was bedridden and constantly in a dazed state due to morphine. despite all that, he still remembered the pinky thing, and he did it. seeing my grandpa in a dream like i used to see him, full of energy, it makes me happy, but then i instantly realize it IS a dream because in the real world, he's dead. but it does give me a little solace to see him like that again. my grandpa was a very spiritual person, believed in heaven and jesus, and i'm starting to lose faith a bit. the only thing that keeps me going in christianity is that when i die, i'll be able to see him again, but im doubting if there even is a heaven or not. i remember telling him while on my last visit to him that my favorite flowers are roses and buttercups, and he'd better have a garden full of them up there by the time i arrive. i think this is all i have to say for now.

Eu sinto como se eu estivesse entrado em coma e minha consciência estivesse se perdendo. Vejo memórias de momentos especiais, ruins e bons em um looping. É como se fosse o fim da minha existência, e de que tudo que amo se foi.

[@mariaclarawired]

É como se eu não existisse

Listening to this, it serves as a reminder that, although I have so many worldly identities-like I am a son, and a brother, and a friend, a professional, etc.-I am something greater, beyond all of those things. It isn't the sum. It's the thing. It's the realest thing. And I've never felt so grown up and so alive once I come back to that feeling. I forgot that truth too often. Music has the power to bring it all back, doesn't it?

Jacob Geller used this in the section of his video on Modern Art where he was discussing Rothko. That's the only thing I can visualize in my head thinking about this now-a massive, cavernous gallery with the walls covered in black canvases

[@TheGoatOfAll]

This song makes me reminisce everything ever. As if I was there when it happened. I can see through the eyes of everyone.

[@gabzividz3280]

This track is so relaxing, perfect to listen to it while I do projects for my college. Thank you for making this!

THIS CALLS FOR A SMONK INNIT

[@geraldwhiteman2700]

i actually remember this song playing in the library of a cruise, its was a carnival cruise about 9 years ago. some guy managed to put some songs by the caretaker on a record, and he was playing those songs on the cruise. i was young at the time, 5 years old, but i heard this song fo the first time in 9 years yesterday, and it gives me deep chills of nostalgia. that cruise was the last time i saw my grandma, and im glad they were good memories. anyways, im taking a cruise for christmas this year, its been tradition for about 5 years, and im gonna sit down in the library of the ship, the grandeur of the sea, put in my airpods, start reading “a journey to the center of the earth” while enjoying a vanilla frozen yogurt, and try to recreate those lost memories. props to the creator of this song.

[@Schmleo]

this feels like walking through an endless corridor, trying to keep your sanity as your hope slowly drains, this song is a masterpiece

[@CyphersBasement]

It's just the sweetest little thing to whistle with, ain't it?

[@cleosvoyage9191]

Wow, just wow.

[@TheFallenHuman53]

Enjoy your trip :^)

[@amandaalvesbarbosa9769]

I feel like I've gone into a coma and my consciousness is slipping away. I see memories of special moments, bad and good in a loop. It's like the end of my existence, and everything I love is gone. And after my departure, I'm afraid of my final destination, but I feel that I will be welcomed there, it will be a good and comfortable place. I've had dreams of psychedelic worlds like that, it's very strange that it's an unknown world that I feel comforted. I feel strangely calm and sad. I don't know how to define it for sure.

[@Phobic_Nova]

This makes me feel in a way that I can't describe, like walking through a park I hardly remember, talking to all of the friends that might not have existed. In fact, I don't remember much at all, especially since quarantine. Anyways, what time was it?

[@ricedanan]

Sometimes I like to play this in a quiet room every now and again, close my eyes and pretend that nothing else exists other than me and the black emptiness of the void. It helps me calm down and keep the bad thoughts at bay. Very relaxing.

[@GiegueX]

This is actually pretty fucking good for reading or sleeping, thx for making this edit.

[@PuppetOrMuppet]

Feels like years .... since you last seen the one you love

[@yvu7368]

[@TheFallenHuman53]

It's chillin'

[@hep_fulla_pep]

Meaningful art has always been about disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed. If you're unsettled... then good That's the point.

[@saalbyv6436]

this music makes me remember something: my first memory, its like life started at that second, right? its a weird feeling when you go back there in your memory. I like to think in the old times, where i was playing legos with my brother, and we just spended time like that, thoose beautiful times. This music just makes me think i have dementia and i am extremely frustated, confused, sad; i always imagine my future like that.

[@Twenty_Seven_27]

This is the type of song that makes you feel like you are on an abandoned Minecraft server that hasn’t been played on for years you can see the memory’s the people had on the server all the buildings empty and abandoned.

[@kittt00111]

your in a room and see someone sitting on a fancy, cushioned chair. they have a bunny mask on with tea to the side of them. you see the marble floors switch into teal tile when you get into the kitchen, and a light flickering. antiques everywhere, a pie on the stove. all of the sudden you fall into a deep pit, falling and falling never seeming to get anywhere though. you watch the room cave around you as you sink in, the person with a bunny mask waving at you. you are in an endless cycle of falling and bliss, your at peace.

[@seansliger1]

This song has ruined me, so much so that I cried within the first minute

[@8ball_wizard]

this is perfect! this song helps me set a good pace when i crochet, so having an extended version is gonna be excellent. thank you so much.

[@floorlamp3104]

this feels like being alone in a museum late at night after it closed with all the lights off except for one hallway or an empty library

[@mydustyattic]

this is giving me Bioshock vibes

[@thestargazer679]

the song name hits deep with me, as well as the tone i just turned 18 a few days ago, and my mom passed away 1 1/2 years ago it just makes me think of the times i had as a kid with my mom, my brother and sister, etc im excited to see what the future holds for me, but at the same time... all i want is to go back there. edit: it also feels like an odd sort of "graduation" from officially being a child in a weird way. looking back on all those memories, those 18 years, and feeling the metaphorical door close behind me.

[@TheFallenHuman53]

Damn, my deepest condolences to you... Losing someone you loved the most is the worst pain in the world. Hoping all the best to you.
