Brian Eno - 1/1

[@rossrparker]

I so very vividly remember listening to this song during my second year of university, sitting in the library late one night. It was after 1am, the library was so empty that the automatic lights had gone off leaving me the only one sitting in light amongst the endless dark corridors of books, and the wind and rain was howling outside. I wasn't really doing much. I just loved the peace, quiet and eerie yet beautiful feeling of being the only one in a place which is usually so full of people. One of those memories which will stick with me forever, despite how mundane it was.

[@aathmastralismusic1233]

Oh man, that's my type of amazing moment!

[@SirCommoner]

sounds like an incredibly beautiful memory and moment. been a while since i had one of those, but oh well, i guess that's what makes them special.

[@sillyfreeman]

"eerie yet beautiful feeling of being the only one in a place which is usually so full of people" I've felt this many times, I love it

[@gardensofthegods]

Wonderful memory and i felt that whole thing and it's zeitgeist

[@atlas4698]

@@SirCommoner Have you had one since you made this comment? My last moment like this was canoeing through the boundary waters in Minnesota. Sitting at night listening to loons calling and wolves howling, very ethereal sound echoing across the lakes. "A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity when, for a few brief seconds, the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh, it's as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be." - George Falconer

[@Steve68686]

I had this playing more or less non-stop in the delivery room when my wife gave birth to our first child. That child is now a 23 year old woman, and I still love this music because it instantly transports me back to that room, darkened and quiet, on that amazing morning. Bittersweetly, my wife *can’t* listen to it…not because she doesn’t also love it, but because upon hearing the first few notes she collapses into tears at the beautiful, intense memory it evokes. (And now I’m crying just thinking about *her* crying!)

[@CPLTarun]

Has your daughter listened to this? What does she think of it?

[@coreycox2345]

[@sampurnajeni4020]

@steverusssillo 😭 fall into this emotion makes us feel a perfect human

[@dequadim]

I cannot listen this track anymore. It brings me back in middle November (2012) when my father died after a severe heart attack and pneumonia. The saddest memories of my life. I will never forget his face after the death, his defeated and resigned expression.

[@breadsniffer8856]

In my freshman year of college, I was very deep into an eating disorder and struggled a lot with my self-esteem and body image. When I was waiting in line to pick up my textbooks for the semester at the bookstore, I struck up a conversation with a guy in front of me. When we got on the topic of what music we liked, he recommended Brian Eno to me. When I got back to my dorm and searched him up on KZbin, this was the first song that came up. For the rest of the year, after every night of suffering, worrying about my weight, and being the most depressed I ever was, this song is what soothed me the next morning. This is what reminded me that every day was a new chance at doing better and loving myself for who I was. To me, it was the audio equivalent of a pretty sunrise washing away the darkness, my parents' hugs, my grandparents telling me that they were proud of me. I am now about 2-3 years into recovery, and I am a lot better and happier than I used to be. I come back to this song sometimes when I study or when I am sad, and it still has the same effect as it did a few years ago. Thank you, Mr. Eno, for this piece that changed my life and played a huge part in my recovery.

[@beckyhankin9856]

It's amazing that's exactly what i see every time i listen to this piece of music. The most overwhelmingly beautiful sunrise, as if seeing it for the first time, the dawning of a new day and the hope that comes with it. The power of music is such a wonferful thing. Glad to hear that you're doing better now.

[@raymondmurphyy]

this comment made me tear up, im so sorry to hear what you went through, and im glad to hear you're doing much better now x

[@fluffy_aguirr3]

When I'm on the phone with my girlfriend late at night. I play Brian Eno music and she falls asleep. I hear her sleep and the best thing to hear is her sleeping. She later wakes up in the morning thanks me for playing relaxing music when she sleeps. It helped her with depression and many anxiety thanks to music like this one and An End ( Ascent) by Brian Eno. Thank you

[@remotegod255]

This piece makes my heart ache so deeply that I can't listen to it anymore or I get an anxiety attack of nostalgia. One of a kind, one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created. Luckily it is so deeply embedded into my mind, along with many agonizingly intense emotional resonances, that I can hear it clearly whenever I simply think of it, and it raises goosebumps all down my arms.

[@woutjed.6998]

Thanks Brian for this masterpiece.

[@vinnym6734]

I listen to this when I nap...and it makes my thoughts become vibrant. Very surreal feeling.

[@arkhamparadise1319]

Exactly me too! For the first time it was unintentional but I was tired and let my eyes close and it was a real magical nap. Since then I occasionally open this up and set my alarm for thirty minutes after a long, exhaustive day and drift off. It literally takes the weight off my shoulders for a while.

juan carlos lira "Also, one or two of the pieces I've made have been attempts to trigger that sort of unnervous stillness where you don't feel that for the world to be interesting you have to be manipulating it all the time. The manipulative thing I think is the American ideal that here's nature, and you somehow subdue and control it and turn it to your own ends. I get steadily more interested in the idea that here's nature, the fabric of things or the ongoing current or whatever, and what you can do is just ride on that system, and the amount of interference you need to make can sometimes be very small." - an excerpt from an interview with Eno. Love it.

Thank you Brian, .. this and other songs of yours, do indeed move one's thoughts in an extraordinary journey of remembering, i imagine in different way for each one us, to me, it recalls my lovely beloved mother, whom i dearly loved; this songs brings all back, her generosity and her incredible sense of warmth and limitless love

[@sharkbite951]

This song evokes... mixed feelings in me... It reminds me of back when I was in 5th grade and thing seemed so much simpler than they are now with me being in 9th... I used to listen to this song nonstop to try and push away my emotions when my mom and dad began fighting and eventually divorced, me being stuck with my abusive dad... things have changed so much... ah, now I'm crying.

[@justclayhead]

[@quinthequirky5343]

I figured out the reason i always used to hate this music when my middleschool teachers played it when we were"meditating" it was because i had spent so long pushing down bad thoughts and suppressing old memories that i always just focused on something else and distracted myself. But this music did the opposite, it opened my mind letting everything flood out but i didn't want that to happen because i spent so long convincing everyone i was fine And that i was happy and i hardly ever cry but it was all lies. No one knew the real me not even my parents. So i hated this music until one day i was alone crying myself to sleep one day and i was watching an umbrella academy interview with gerard way in it and he mentioned brian eno so i checked it out and so i gave it a try and to be honest i didnt like it at first because there was nothing to distract myself with but then i relaxed, put my guard down, and just let my thoughts and memories and all of that out and i felt immediatly better i decided i needed to tell someone the thoughts and memories. I had already been seeing a therapist but i didn't trust them so i said nothing to them and instead searched for anonymous social media apps and found vent and amino i started telling random strangers how i felt and they were really nice and helped me a lot. im so thankful and to think all of that happened because i let myself relax is just crazy

The day my father died I was at work. My mother called me to tell me that my father's condition had worsened and I rushed to the hospital where he was hospitalized with the motorcycle. During the trip, this music came to mind (1/1) and I kept repeating in my head "Daddy, wait for me". I arrived at the hospital in front of my father's bedside, intubated. After about 5 minutes one of the monitors gave the alarm; my father was gone forever. Every time I see the cover of this record, I remember that November 15th 2012 and my father's face, with that disappointed and defeated expression of someone who has lost the most important battle of his existence.

I feel as if I'm running through a field, flying a kite. The sun shines brightly, and the air is pristine. I have nothing to worry about. Everything is just. Pure happiness. I feel as if this should have been the soundtrack to Antichamber. It could easily be procedurally generated given its minimalism, which would fit Antichamber's theme. But its feel seems better for the game than the actual music to the game.

Only that Brian Eno is like a 100x better.

[@FoldedHelix]

Well, I wouldn't actually say that, because C418 Has a ton of originality thrown in with his influence, and takes things in such interesting ways. Have you taken a listen to the whole Alpha album? Beta is a bit more produced and I think it kinda takes away from the very simplicity of Alpha.
