This is the kind of music I want to create. So inspiring, so beautiful, so serene. I love it. Absolutely love it.

[@LSUWarlan]

Would love to hear it one day

[@stevesebaoun6555]

I truly wish for you to create this kind of music, it’s really needed by society

Me too.

Five years later, this still sucker punches me in the heart like never before. Timeless replay value is unparalleled.

[@PixelSubstream]

I've been listening to this version so much, it feels like its the original. and the original now sounds sped up lol

[@michaelparkin5942]

Exactly, I don't listen to the original anymore, too fast!

[@danyalachria]

Ditto

[@jesuschrist3165]

The original also sounds much more upbeat, this version is haunting and sad but in a good way

So true. I don't think they make music anymore though or do they? I'm not sure!

[@choggerboom]

Man at this rotation you can really hear the fractal kind of complexity in the melody. No I'm honestly quite moved this moment about how well this song represents life. I think the best art tries to make that shot. This song does. Playful, foreboding, beautiful, serene, encouraging, discouraging. Aging. Moving, Changing.

[@Ominous89]

@@memory8888 I finally came home back in the Netherlands. 3 years already. It's going great actually. Almost out of debt. Next year I'm going back to work. But now I have to listen to my neighbour and her girlfriend having fun. Crazy things in the air.

[@byronic_ca]

This is incredible. As a poet, I can tell you that this -- is poetry. It brought me to a place of inner peace and reasoning with myself, as I struggle to make sense of the new, post-pandemic world that we live in, after three years of isolation from it. Thank you.

[@FernandoMorales-vu4oc]

This is bring me old memories from my childhood idk why... Magical nostalgia.

[@theubc]

when i breathe this sound comes to mind

[@AutonomousPlayground]

Now I’m a totally normal guy with a university degree from a good school many people around me who care and a good life. But when I was 10 my parents had to see social workers, I was arrested 10’s of times, just obsessed with fire and destruction and had no relationship with my parents. Then I was kicked out of too many schools so I had to go to pru school. Everything was slipping away and when adults tell you at that age you’ll end up in prison with your life ruined but you can’t control your behaviour, you are terrified. They told me maybe I had conduct disorder. Diagnosed me in the end with ODD and ADHD. Kids in the pru schools screaming through the tiny windows of padded cells they were locked in, teachers walking around with their shirts ripped open from other students... I was obsessed with child crime and child murderers.. I guess because it made me feel like I wasn’t so bad and how it would really be if my life fell out of control and you were locked away forever. Remember I would sleep outside instead of at my parents house. Playing the James bulger documentary and feeling so melancholic and disgusted and then I would play this song over and over and just feel so strange. And I know these disregards I had for society and it’s rules as child still live on within my life and behaviour in an acceptable way... but today for some reason I just thought back and I rarely do and I came to listen to this again and think about those times in my childhood. Nobody will relate to this comment I know but it’s been 10 or 15 years since then and I just wanted to remember...

I'm gonna go get the 45rpm but on reloop for an hour - it's served better that way.

[@fatoon7884]

The picture choice with this music for real.. It is almost the only one who can recreate this absolute unique feeling, that some people may know/have lived. So hard to describe, but it could be said like in a car travel, or train, or sometimes just daydreamin general, that you're picturing/daydreaming a place in your head, for me often take a image in a forest, warm sweet atmosphere, a sun creating a perfect temperature of floatin.. an absolute distinctive "hot" delicate yet strong sweet smell in the air, bein light as a feather, picturin a place of absolute peace/paradise. The smell mostly, that i could never identified is a big part of it. A dream place, maybe a girl in it, or smthin else sometimes, its something..

[@maxwellmorris9189]

nostalgia for things that never happened

[@utqiagvik1991]

I'm flowing on a boat on lake through dark fog, but still some sun rays reach me, I know, it's my last journey, I won't come back, I see the trees and fields covered by sun rays, getting slowly out of fog, I hear birds, first autumn leaves falling down and this melody...

[@twngohaombre5602]

;_; dude.....

[@btruj2507]

That is the wonder of music that I love so much, to play as a soundtrack to our imagination. To me it is the journey of Cassini/Huygens to Saturn and Titan, sailing past the glorious rings, then slowly descending through the orange clouds to finally break thru and see frozen mountains and liquid methane lakes and shores, with aliens waves gently lapping onto rounded stones and pebbles.

[@BurlyMammoth]

Such an Ulrich Schnauss feel at 33 RPM.
