Boards of Canada - Buckie High

This song is from A Few Old Tunes CD2. I think this is one of their best songs and deserves to be shared to other BoC fans.

[@KuraSourTakanHour]

BoC has the ability to generate music in an uncanny way, like remembering a song you heard in a dream

[@FouglassDir]

You hit the target ! Well said !

[@natashafawn3810]

@@FouglassDir I’ve said the same thing!

[@dogsdestroytheworld]

funnily enough, they have made songs from their dreams before. the track "gyroscope" was in a dream that Marcus had. after the track was finished, it actually "spooked him to listen to it" because it was so similar to how it sounded. great stuff.

[@SuburbanoidMisfit111]

I'm a female that loves BoC. My husband calls it "weird noise" and it makes me laugh. I can't really feel the music he likes either. I like to do geometry in my spare time, he likes to watch sports and veg out in his. Never fear, opposites attract, it's in our nature. We do meet on the same page on all the really important stuff. It is so rare to even find someone (outside of music pages/forums online) who knows who BoC are.

[@elemy123456789]

You just described me. Sometimes it can be lonely being a BoC fan, but that's ok.... it's worth it :-)

[@MoniVonKugelhagel]

You guys still together? :P

[@vanderfoli]

BoC the best...

[@1212davedave]

when I first listened to BoC in high school a few years ago, I knew a girl who had also been listening and there was a very emotional moment when we connected on that.... I can't say it was love, but it wasn't far off.

[@maathiiee5]

BoC's songs are the hymns of my life

Canada is a pretty cool state

[@Kylemann457]

I wish there was a club where all Boards of Canada fans could meet and drink beers and talk about the power of music that this band knows how to manipulate with such grace :D

[@brinleykettle4126]

my dad played me boc as i went to sleep as a kid, and now i experience a big feeling of nostalgia listening to their albums which makes me happy. I would personally say it's a good thing.

Buckie High class of 1969!!

[@seanpasquarella4149]

1969, in the sunshine.

[@Vinkie]

am I the only one browsing trough youtube every day, trying to discover new BoC songs... every... single.... day...

[@ingozielcabra]

@Vinkie Well there are two of us friend, this music is unique

[@tonybennettuk]

My wife cant really stand them, but its great when we're watching adverts and documentaries and a BoC track pops up, I just tell her "there you go, perfect mood music, inspiring and nostalgic all in one". Trying to get my 2yr old son into BoC - for my last birthday party I played Aquarius and he loved yelling "Orange!" then giggled along with the kids samples, until I couldn't tell if it was him or the track. To top it all off he shuffled his feet and bopped to the beat. A perfect moment...

[@APoxOnNordStream]

Buckie High sounds like the name of a school in Scotland, where BOC are from. This is my favourite piece by them. It's just indescribably beautiful.

[@xanpq8374]

I first heard this song just as I was getting off the ferry from Stranraer, Scotland to Belfast, NI where the friends I was visiting (whom I hadn't gotten to see for like 8 years) were waiting to greet me - such a fantastic memory to associate with a song like this ^_^ Now I put this one on whenever I'm on a trip or journey and am JUST about to arrive somewhere special with a lot of anticipation. It'll ALWAYS be associated with that super-happy feeling I got from getting to see my friends again :) ESPECIALLY considering the 4-day trek that ensued upon landing in London (at 11:15pm, less than an hour before last-chance check-in at the hostel I was staying at, which was NOT easy to find.... NOTHING in London was easy to find. I have NO idea how anyone navigates a city that LITERALLY has one street that branches in FIVE directions! :P) was SUCH a relief to be over-with.

[@Aedonius]

Thanks for sharing. Awesome you heard this playing in public. Scotland is where BoC is from so it's interesting that they played this rare track there.

[@andresest23]

Like tripping without LSD.

[@nexusoflife]

That is the exact feeling of Boards of Canada. It's beyond beautiful.

[@SmashAdams5887]

BOC is and will always be the best of the best. PERIOD, No more questions.

[@ShadowShift7]

Sometimes I flick through youtube and listen to BoC songs I've not heard before.... this one is one hit me hard. The whole way through I'm just blissed out, almost crying with happiness as every part of the experience fills my ears and mind. The nostalgia, the organic realness of it, and in this case because it's so rare and inaccessible.... tapes that next to nobody has ever owned, from a time before BoC were what they are today. Covered in grainy unknown photographs.... beautiful. Love.

[@nicolaivonpocht607]

This beat dances with my brain

[@mrnoisy3851]

I put my earphones in and I walk outside with this on repeat. passing beneath trees...

BOC 4 LIFE

[@Aedonius]

Jeremy Holt why did you edit your comment

[@drygnfyre]

The more I listen to this song, the more I think it's BoC's best song. To me, it perfectly exemplifies the group's sound and mood.

[@kpn5000]

hard to choose a "best", but yeah, i feel you.

[@TheBroDotTV]

This is possible my favourite track of theirs!!!

[@CemetarysNeighbor]

Someone help me please; I can't stop listening to this song.

[@jonoddur6400]

That song has such a special place in my heart. Even the image too in this video. Was a teenager when I first found this song on KZbin and it got me into BoC. Used to always play this song when coming home from school on the computer, made love with my gf to this song and smoked weed for the first time also. Just love it

[@publiushoratiusclocles7952]

This is beautiful. Smoking a blunt while listening to this tune, while i read about the Roman empire. What a life. :)

[@MysTeri0usMatT7]

[@sebrian]

I love this one! BoC is the ultimate "driving alone" music! Simple, emotional & thought provoking!

[@e3ovuziotica]

Living nostalgia makes magic happen in the moment. This is music.

[@AllyLamont]

I suppose, from a Scottish point of view, the title of this tune could have a dual meaning. Firstly, it could be an ode to the high school of the fine town of Buckie in the north east of this lovely land. Secondly, it could be a paean (?) to gettin right fucked up on the tonic wine so beloved of the folk of the fair city of Glasgow. Who really knows, eh?

[@elfgurl73]

I'm totally obsessed with this song

[@1000monsters]

I have been listening to this at least 4 times a day for the past week... everytime it gets better

[@mbrad2002]

These guys are Amazing! Thought provoking!! The spirit recognizes the spirit so I can appreciate the Psychedelic influence in their music!! No static at all!! cheers! MB

[@officiallipsey]

Michael Bradley i don't think you need to ingest a drug in order to make cool things. I highly doubt their brilliant minds were stunted by a drug when creating the brilliance that they make.

[@mbrad2002]

Noah! You are absolutely right! You don't need drugs to write or listen to this great music!

[@prismcristaltest4748]

why psychedelic influence?, it's boards of canada sound oiiinnn oiiinnn ooiinnn at 2:02 carré magique car 2plus2 equal jack two two

[@DMCLN]

You most certainly do not need to ingest drugs to create art, but there's a rather breathtaking catalogue of music and scientific insight that HAS most certainly been inspired by them. In the case of the Sanders brothers, they've mentioned in interviews being influenced (to some extent) by psychedelic experiences: "It reflects the range of subjects that we feel strongly about, for example, psychedelic experiences (there are echoes of those in the album), good trips and bad trips." "Psychedelics make music sound entirely different. Tiny details become massive, a five-minute track can feel like it's five hours long on psychedelics."

[@rdallas4pm]

BOCie high

[@davidasleep]

Awesome. . .undoubtedly BOC. . .brilliant build up from simple to very complex. . .all of it subtle and beautiful. No one like these two guys. You can never get enough music from them. . .what these single tunes lack is the cohesiveness and structure of an entire album that flows into each song.

[@punkopunko5637]

First BOC song I ever heard. It was in a YTP and I’ve loved BOC ever since.

[@keeper4299]

BoC have such a nostalgic quality to their music. It's hard to describe

Thank you for sharing! BoC is truly unique, they have touched the inner workings of many and are evidence of God's love for us!

Kyle Kirk Ok, as long as you say so chief!

[@kpn5000]

Uhmmm, everything...Is that not self-evident? No God, no universe; no universe, no music. But this is not really the place for a thread about who or what created everything, now is it? Or did everything create itself?

Boards of Canada created themselves. Please dont taint this video with ideas of your imaginary god whom is one of thousands that humanity has dreamt up. Church is for that.

And to think we may never have heard this!!

[@OSH0891]

MASTERPIECE!

[@kinsiz]

I feel this is one of the few songs in life that are just "given" to you. Don't care too much about boc, their thoughts behind the tune, what buckie high refers to, etc. It just starts off, and you're there with it, gazing at life inside your mind and in that surrounding moment. The sounds gives you a ride for a while, without restrictions and goals... The humble feel of a kind smile and slight nod from someone passing by, be it in memories or on the side-walk.

[@wesleyt]

I never get tired of this one.

[@inkedguy201]

I absolutely adore BoC, I have since 1999. I knew the melody sounded familiar, listen to Status Quo "Pictures of Matchstick Men", or the Camper Van Beethoven version.

[@vonbischoffhaussen]

[@dysemp2814]

James Mann Nahh man, your suggestions are far from BoC...The rythm is with different frequencies

[@inkedguy201]

Badr Marighene I didn't say anything about rhythm Skippy. I said M-E-L-O-D-I-E. (Or chord progression if you are familiar with what one indeed is)

[@ericgabbard5597]

James Mann I hear it

[@maninthezoo]

Idk about Status Quo-Pictures of Matchstick Men resembling this song but if you've ever heard Johnny Q Public-Body Be, the solo in the middle is identical to pictures of matchstick men. Check it out

[@technicallyabsurd]

I'm listening to this next time I fly in a plane. Sounds like good flying music.

[@APoxOnNordStream]

just found the Buckie High School website, it's in Moray, Scotland - way up in the Highlands.. somehow the peace and space in the music seems to be related to that..

[@MicroMacroUniverse]

Boards of Canada: when im fucking full of everyone's words and i just want to imagine things freely. Just geometry and images, no judgement.

[@Freidayable]

That really makes me smile. Everyone thinks I'm crazy that I listen to BoC too. But when you set it to some other medium people think its amazing. I guess most people just tune to the radio and try to fit in and just disregard true life. I'm glad you're showing your son BoC though. Just remember not to force/influence your interpretation of the song onto him in any way at all, because that's what's magical about instrumental music. You get to interpret it at your own level no matter what.

[@puggilove]

just found BOC, my atoms are popping to this! oosh

[@KingPhilipsRideshare]

Tycho will never be like BoC. Tycho is someone taking a shot at a BoCesque sound and art form. Boards of Canada-in-itself, and for-itself is the experience of two brothers. is what it felt like. and sounded like. It was so good and unique and pure people just wanna be near it. but who can be
