Caspian - "Hymn For The Greatest Generation" (audio)

[@DOOMLOOT]

Some of the most beautiful music ever written. I feel bad for people who haven't heard this.

[@heywaitMarlee]

Thank god music like this exists. I discovered Caspian when I was in college back in '07-08' and this band, Maserati, American Football, Unwed Sailor, If These Trees Could Talk, Tristeza-the greats of post-rock, really-were all that kept me from offing myself. I still love Caspian, and this is no exception.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

heywaitMarlee Those are all great bands. I can't wait for ITTCT's new album! I also haven't heard of American Football and Unwed Sailor. Definitely going to check them out!

[@vidhyutgadia4566]

Thank you.

[@Occoris]

this song might be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me

[@omardepaularezende2000]

Jakob Nelson It's changed my life too, man!!! It's become sort of a mantra to me. I'd really love to see them talking about this song.

For Dad

[@badgerdaddy01]

If all of humanity were wiped out and our remains were discovered in millennia, and all that was left was this video and music, they would think we were beautiful.

[@PedroAlmeidaOMestre]

The whole song is beautiful. but I love how real the acoustic guitar sounds in the beginning.

[@badgerdaddy01]

I know it's not some official video, but this visual is just... perfect.

[@noladr]

This song still makes me emotional every time I hear it. Man, I love Caspian. Seeing them live was something else.

[@Namilovessky]

I smiled and I cried. I want to keep smiling

[@roifloi930]

This is the kind of music that just lifts you up from the depths of depression and makes you feel again. I love it!

[@DanielWhite]

Why hadn't I heard of these guys before? Definitely a worthy addition to my mental catalog of post-rock bands.

[@mauriciocalamani2187]

I never thought that a song would cheer my life in such a way that I forgot the pain

[@thomasjares3428]

Few bands can achieve such emotional heights.

[@xersiesuzumaki582]

When I first heard this song I almost bursted into tears. It is so moving and I love listening to the wonderful price of music. I’m so glad I found this song and listened to it or I would never had felt this moved by one song. ❤️

[@kempokiai]

My grandmother who was one of the greatest generation passed away 2 weeks after her 92nd birthday 3 years ago. She shared a birthday with me and this song always reminds me of her while bringing me to tears.

[@Mariapaz24-w3h]

The incredible Ricky Gervais series After Life brought me here and I am so grateful! What beautiful music

[@braddanrir1171]

Can't wait for the next season and some post rock music

[@jonathanpusar5931]

Wow, that's awesome. I wish these bands get more visibility. Good gateway drug to post metal and prog metal/rock

[@Iesous27]

Was this song really in that show? I watched it and I didn't even realize lol..

[@robgausden]

Don't usually listen to music like this, was introduced by my Son. Can honestly say, I don't regret it. I've never known an instrumental track to make me feel simultaneously exhilarated and sombre. What an incredible track, thank you Caspian, thank you Son.

[@heywaitMarlee]

The title of this song makes me really sad. Actually, it's hard for me to listen to this song because I start to get really emotional. My grandfather is a member of the greatest generation (WWII vet) and I knew several others while I worked at an assisted living facility. Such gentle, wonderful people. We'll lose so much when they're gone.

[@thomchak]

+heywaitMarlee Its interesting you say that. When I listen to this I think of my Great Uncle who fell at Ypres in Belgium during World War I. Regardless of which conflict, I second your opinion.

[@LetsGetHighOnMorris]

+Philip Farrell +heywaitMarlee I'm not sure if I relate so much, but I think it's cool that the music and song title can effect you guys personal ways like that. That's part of what music's all about!

[@Lmemn]

+heywaitMarlee ¿A generation of killers?

[@johnsmith-sx3ek]

heywaitMarlee I was just thinking I hope someone makes a heartfelt video with this song to photos and stock video footage from our grandparent's generation/ww2, families bidding their fathers, brothers and sons, wives, sisters and daughters farewell as they head off to fight for freedom, the life back home during that time, families reuniting afterwards, maybe ending up with a slideshow of veterans comparing pictures of them then to newer photos of them in old age with their kids, grandkids, and great grandkids with them.

[@freakfire74]

I keep coming back to this. It never gets old..

[@onlytime111222]

this kind of music will save the world.

[@Frallemannen]

I started shivering and got goosebumps all over!

[@jcrzero]

It´s magic, wonderful... It´s an Hymn.

[@ZJMcdougall]

"This ain't no sweet guitar this is emotion like real emotion."

[@francescag6856]

Never knew this existed until a friend told me to check this song out. I'm wondering why/how I lived without knowing before?! Such a beautiful song...

[@thib1709]

Just discovered. Beautiful !

This song heals my soul a little bit

[@subhadityanath4326]

[@PopFlipCatchStickRol]

Ive listened to this 10 times and its still just as amazing as the first time I listened to it

[@subhadityanath4326]

Me too. I've listened to this song at least ten thousand times now, and it's _still_ just as amazing as the first time I've listened to it.

[@pentakis3605]

Fell asleep to this last night, it was amazing

[@tuckmanstan]

It's been years and this still blows me away. I really hope there's more coming soon. Can never get enough of these guys

[@thrive420]

I’ve just recently been turned on to this band..... better late than never. Fantastic stuff!! Their song Crawlspace got me hooked. That song sent me on an emotional journey. Great music! 👍🤘

[@gijose95]

I cried a little. In memory of Chris!

[@ealing456]

What makes this so powerful is that country vibe. Great effects.

[@Horsehead147]

Just found this track. Incredible. What a tribute!

[@LucasBarbosa-iq4xl]

Not sure if I'll ever get married, but I want this song playing on my funeral if not a wedding

This song is the reason I haven't commited suicide in this pandemic. Thank god I discovered this song.

stunning. i love the hints of pedal steel in this work.

[@sirnatanielson]

I've listened to this too many times to count since they announced it this past week. Favorite of theirs instantly. And that's saying quite a bit. Can't love it enough!

[@jonathanpusar5931]

Such a contrast from modern culture that almost despises the elderly and their wisdom. No 'generation' is perfect or unique. We are all going through our journeys as best we can on this planet. Fighting for a destiny or purpose. A distinct meaning that makes life great. Whatever generation you are. Whether young or old...you contributed to the cosmic tapestry that is the cycle of life. Part of this chain that has been ongoing for many millennia. Salute the elders who came before. They have both wisdom and sacrifice whether we realize it or not. One day we will join them as well...and the cycle continues for another generation.

[@ashish_sunny]

Well put 🔥

[@hlfx]

oh man , that will be a match made in heaven

[@newforestpixie5297]

Jaz Coleman or Peter Hook could give this to one of their pet orchestras to cover. i’d completed burying our 14 yr old black Lab Peppa & sat back with muddy shovel staring at the graves’ heap of soil with this loudly coming from the Erbauer Builders Radio & out across the neighbourhoods gardens . with us having listened to the tune during our times on the forest heaths it provoked my bawling my eyes out for the first time for 25 years . Thanks Caspian. ❤️

g.hande Uzun I agree.

[@jonathanpusar5931]

Yeah but how much of the population even listens to music like this? We're unfortunately the .01%...probably less. Most see music as a temporary escape or a medium to isolate noise from their surroundings. How many people seek music to feel emotion? Nostalgia, joy, pain, fear....music can convey a litany of emotions and self-discovery. They can take you into journeys beyond a book could and open your creativity. So few people experience music for the sake of music....and it's sad.
