Bibio - Sleep On The Wing (Official Music Video)

[@mrbibio]

Sharing with you the video for ‘Sleep On The Wing’ directed by Sonnye Lim. Lyrically, I feel that the song has two aspects to it: The idea of being in the wake of a loss, and with hope, continuing the life of someone who has passed, through allowing oneself to be inspired by what they did during their lifetime and what they left behind, whether it’s the things they said, the knowledge they shared or the things they made. The other aspect to the song is perhaps more direct, and talks of escaping the city to find peace in the countryside, but the title is more a celebration of dreaming and the liberating power of imagination, not necessarily a physical escape.

[@Woter_X]

Bibio you are The reason why I picked up a guitar and started to learn finger plucking and then layering them. You brought in my horizons of folklore music. It was a crazy transition but now I do underground hiphop/folklore music on my tape deck. Thank you for the many years of music you produced.

[@thisneeds2besaid]

Thank you for giving us these beautiful songs.

[@hoodedponcho532]

amazing, thank you for sharing.

[@carlosgoldstein1057]

Picking up from another's lifetime after they've passed.. very selfless and ambitious concept. Taking what they've contributed and translating that into music to essentially receive the torch. This is beautiful. Keep it up. You are doing the world a favor with this kind of spiritual creativity.

[@alexischampsaur4352]

Keep doing you, your creativity and heartfeltness are much appreciated.

[@mikenewmanski]

In such troubling times it's reassuring that humans have the ability to create beauty instead of destruction.

[@weeeidyyy.167]

If you have a dream, you can always start over.

[@goulddc]

I'm afraid that if there's ever a spring without a new Bibio release, I'll wilt and die.

I have no idea why this song never ceases to make me tear up. Every single time. Like clockwork. So beautiful

[@RyanRiedyU4EA]

sometimes this tune will pop into my head and it's so absolutely gorgeous that without even actually hearing it i still get teary eyed.

[@PeachRomance]

Recipe of a great song : 1 peaceful and magical melody 1 simple lyrics, no need a lot of words 1 cup of angelic vocalise 1 animation to take you on a wonderful journey Consume when feeling down or just when u wake up for a better chance to have a good day.

[@Xavieritis]

My life has always been pretty painful. I’ve always dreamed of hopping on a bird and flying away peacefully and safe above the broken world and now there’s a song just for that

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

This song makes me feel like I can fly.

[@desativadojessicaluise2748]

Me too :')

[@Tuscelli]

The first 3 seconds of the vast majority of your songs are always sufficient to give me goosebumps, thrills, and an infinite feeling of ancient melancholy memories

[@schwiftychicken4319]

When I sat to listen to this I was overcome with emotions like something washing over me. I'm not really an emotional person but for some reason this resonated with me in a very personal way. It's beautiful, that's all I can really say.

[@john2125011]

same with me, it's such a hard feeling to describe as well. Almost like nostalgia for something you haven't experienced before

[@JacobGoodman]

You deserve so much more recognition.

[@KP3Times]

Jacob Goodman I say that every time I listen to his music . Slowly but surely his fandom is growing ✌🏾

[@alexanderaultman]

@@KP3Times Please don't call it a fandom.

[@KP3Times]

Alexander Aultman lol you can’t be serious . I was just pointing something out and that was the first word I thought of, but thanks ....everyone loves a gatekeeper

[@ponponponpon1322]

no because if he get more recognition he will start doing bullshit like a lot

[@JacobGoodman]

@@ponponponpon1322 I don't see why getting credit for making great music would make him "start doing bullshit". Either way, it seems shitty to actively hope someone doesn't get noticed just because you fear it could change them.

[@Vince_Vibes]

So lovely, thanks for the peace Bibio.

[@Kyanitekween]

We put our dog down at home yesterday. We played this song as she passed, sitting beside her & kissing her sweet face. She gave in & the vet finally gave her peace. Our baby. An angel now. Thank you.

[@KP3Times]

Bibio never ceases to take me on these journeys. Be well everyone , times are weird ✌🏾✌🏾❤️

[@cecesorrows]

Gosh that dark cello sounding ambience that starts at around 2:30 is just so jarring yet beautiful at the same time, it’s like the sound of grief and contentment at the same time, it’s just gorgeous.

[@m1ilmail]

the song combined with the jaw dropping animation makes me feel all warm n fuzzy

[@55sq350]

I lost my father this week. This song brings me comfort. Thank you.

[@Spritofjazz]

I can only imagine how beautiful you are for being here of all places. Glad to share the world with you at your best and worst.

[@tommy4540]

Definitely feels like a continuation of Ribbons in terms of its atmosphere. I love it!

[@JamesCarolan1993]

Stunning, the clip reminds me of the Snowman- ethereal and soaring.

[@CHarr1991]

You NEVER miss Bibio!!! I am crying on first listen

[@ricardobroado352]

This song calms my troubled soul. Its achingly beautiful, thank you Bibio ✌🏿❤️

[@Anya-tu9ws]

the song makes me feel like i can dream again

[@d.c.6639]

this is the creation i needed right now✌️&❤️

[@kingthursdaybill]

I don't know how it's possible that a song can conjur such fond and vivid memories of hiking with my gaffer on dartmoor but it does. Its like you've distilled the emotion that I as an adult man now have about a time that I will always cherish as my best years so far. Losing his brand new leatherman tool in marshland, watching clouds roll over the tors, sitting with our feet in the stream while we ate apple loops. Thanks for that man. I needed that.

[@MoabMarlon10]

This song is so transcendental.

[@TheGreenKingdom]

Love it, beautifully and tastefully composed and arranged!

[@alex45041]

The ending of the song/video is stunning... all the windows at the end with that low string sound

[@rook8808]

Im sure someones mentioned it but the bird in the video is a Swift, a migratory bird that appears in the UK during the spring and spends nearly its whole life on the wing, they sleep eat and drink on the wing! They're amazing flyers and they're often most recognisable by their 'screech' call and their silhouette shape. You can tell them apart from House Martins and Swallows by the lack of a white chest marking.

[@seebless]

Lately music ads have been appearing for me, I'm happy that they have lead me to a beautiful song. :^)

[@nickprostandrandomvideos6981]

I thank tidal for randomly playing one of your songs, a cross between darlingside,fleet foxes and midlake. But with a more Intiamte and unique production. With melodies that just burrow their way into your heart. I fell asleep with your songs swirling round my head. Thank you

[@jenn_iv]

you might not as popular as other's musicians out there. it's sad when our hard work is not getting paid enough. and there is a lot of musicians out there trying to be seen, yet the competition is tight. it must be quite challenging to survive in this industry/business. but please know, you create art, your artistry is beyond your popularity. this is mesmerizing, more than beautiful. please, keep doing this, keep being you, and I hope you'll get something you want in the future. I'll keep listening and support your beautiful music. "you deserve much more listener, award, recognition, all the good things" indeed.

[@ImpracticalDefects]
