Cassini Grand Finale | I. INIZIARE (aka “Sept. 15th 2017: Cassini Grand Finale”)

[@aseth9541]

The video. The music. The integration of some of my favourite songs ever (sun, Saturn, venus, earth etc.) This is perfect. As an Astronomy enthusiast, the tribute to Saturn, the footage. The images from NASA. This is just the best. You're my all time favourite artist ryan. You're the best. Thanks for existing. Thanks for making this music. We love you.

[@Fuar11]

The beginning part sounds a lot like Saturn and Mercury mixed together. But I don't hear Venus or Earth. By 0:46 I don't recognize anything. That part should be extended into it's own track, it's so beautiful. And then obviously you have Saturn itself.

[@aseth9541]

Fuarian | As a matter of fact, it is! Search up; " September 15 CASSINI Grand Finale By Sleeping At Last ". It's a part of his album 'ASTRONOMY' where he makes music for every major ASTRONOMICAL event!

[@Fuar11]

I know about the album. I didn't know about that though! Hopefully if Ryan is still around making music by 2034 he can write a song about Haley's comet. (I think it's 2034)

[@aseth9541]

Fuarian | I hope so. it's actually 2061

[@Fuar11]

oh.... well, Ryan can still be making music at 80 right? :D

[@lukemiller3332]

Fallen from the heavens to an unearthly earth Outside from home You found a home A grave as you gracefully fell To the planet you've gazed upon Embraced by the planet you lovingly faced Plummeting to Saturn, soon to die Fallen from the sky Spending your years dazed by her rings Spending your years gazing as she sings in the silence To cry tears of fire in the atmosphere As you leave to the ground Forever you will rest here In the peace and silent sound Of Saturn

[@heathercornwell9652]

....I can't believe I just cried.....over a freaking space probe.....

[@lunakid12]

The probe is just the token, the real deal is the grand adventure, the epic, cathartic story (with all the subtle drama mingled into it), and the music makes it nicely visceral. A very good reason to cry.

[@khinzakhan66]

I though I was the only one 😅 Glad I'm not the only one 😊😊 His music... I don't have words!

[@averysimplelife8895]

Oh, good, I was worried I was going insane. But the whole thing is just fantastic. I actually found the song first, not the video, but the way Ryan writes his music...I could picture the entire thing straight away, and I didn't even KNOW about this until I found it! That just goes to show how well Ryan can bring emotion, adventure, and everything else into his music. He's truly amazing.

[@karlar8648]

I'm still in awe over Cassini. Even the name is special. There is one video on youtube that shows Cassini bobbling along to it's final destination. I think there was a camera mounted. It bobbled sadly as it said "farewell, i did my best and gave my all". Still touching.

[@elonmusk9697]

It's not just space, it's everything.

[@juliafossaengreen9303]

We'll miss you, Cassini. Thank you for your tribute to science.

[@yojj404]

[@colorlessoz]

The lyrics for Saturn i just now realized can be a tribute even to Cassini.

[@PandaSaturnGaming]

I’ve started calling this Cassini’s Lullaby ❤️

[@matiasskylar4158]

I know Im pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to stream newly released movies online ?

[@elonmisael9682]

@Matias Skylar Ehh I would suggest flixportal. Just google after it:P -elon

[@matiasskylar4158]

@Elon Misael Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!!

[@elonmisael9682]

@Matias Skylar You are welcome :D

[@PhoebeGrigor]

The song and the video pair perfectly, and the knowledge that Cassini was in space for longer than I have even been alive....that's special. A stunning tribute to an unimaginable feat.

[@rachellynn7163]

THEIR MUSIC IS SO PURE AND BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING AND I CANT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE IT. THEIR SONGS HAVE MEANING AND BEAUTY AND AHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH

[@slytherinqueen8370]

Queen Wolf His*

[@kisspauld]

I feel grateful to be alive the same time as you and your music.

[@davideoizarod]

This is, hands down, one of the most beautiful, haunting and cathartic things I've ever listened to. Makes me imagine myself floating near Saturn's rings and slowly falling through the atmosphere and reunite with the universe.

[@burcueceyldz]

Have you ever guess that a spacecraft will made you cry? Unbelievable...

[@mymeadowproject]

Your music makes me feel the start of something new, something bigger, brighter and beyond my wildest dreams.

[@arynsinger6811]

mymeadowproject I agree.

[@tatsutakaini9375]

"And upwards, we look upon the stars with awe."

[@LukeIsntSmart]

0:50 always manages to give me the chills. As humans it is an evolutionary need to connect strong bonds with other humans, but for so many people to build a bond with a spacecraft... it's a strange and wonderful thing. Thanks, and Godspeed, Cassini. ❤

[@nicko4654]

Thank you for this Sleeping At Last I'm a Space fan and this made me cry My friends always pity me, Why are you crying over a dumb Spacecraft They never knew that this "Dumb" Spacecraft... Would explore important things in Life Would explore the second place to Live Thank you Ryan 🌌 #Cassini #CassiniGrandFinale #RIPCassini #Saturn #SleepingAtLast

[@andreabnst6931]

Nickölas Ökyl i cried too when it died in the rings of saturn..

[@musicbyalexYT]

Absolutely gorgeous! My favorite part is when the choir kicks in as the rocket launches.

[@willowchamblin5139]

I love that moment too! so much emotion lol.

[@imtotallyadino]

I've listened to these songs hundreds of times and I still cried. Love all your songs

[@juliafossaengreen9303]

You mixed all of my favorite songs! Thank you, this is way too perfect to put into words. I'm all happy now! Oh, and HUBBLE!

[@yanelissoto8204]

I cried for Cassini as if he were a living thing and it's death brings so much more meaning to saturn

[@mrunfunny]

5:20 is the most beautiful moment I've witnessed in any music video. This literally made me cry

[@jamestnov41945]

Absolutely outstanding. Everything about this video presentation is perfect just like Cassini was.

[@eishamehtab4175]

I am thankful to be alive because today I saw this. I saw this and I am happy I am alive.

[@giadaalrazem8856]

This video blesses my soul so much

[@7211_]

genuinely the first piece of music to ever make me cry

[@ponchoandy]

We need more of this as a species. Not war.

[@sucharitamondal6940]

This is the best video of my life. Being a dreamer of universe I will not forget the day or the moment.

[@johnwilson4784]

in my opinion this is like a big reunion. like the scene at the end of a movie or show or book where it brings back all those characters that you fell in love with on an intimate level. the first time i heard this it was just...*wow*. and it still is. this makes me just want to take long deep breathes and concentrate on how everything feels

[@Etal2017]

Amazing birthday present. Honestly this band is the only reason I continue to keep my dreams and ideas alive. Their music has inspired me to keep trying. Love this band sooooo much

[@herecomedatboi986]

When I heard his other songs in hear I got the biggest goose bumps in ages! I love things like this!

[@akulasanjana]

So I presented a lot of ur lyrics in presentations at school. And ur music is one of a kind with lyrics that bring years to my eyes . U make me love life. And it is beautiful and I want u to know that you music is deeply appreciated. And If in the future people want to know about our time. I would be embarrassed to show them the songs that are on the radio. It's u. The lyrics so powerful . I get tingles when ur songs start. And I wish u a long happy life. Please for the love of god never stop singing. It's the one thing I can't wait to come home to. And so yea . Thx for existing !

[@MewMewDerez]

This song already holds a very special place in my heart for a while now, and then I just listened to the podcast episode about the making of this song, and now finally getting to watch the visual component of the song on the eve of the 3rd anniversary is...wow. I was already emotional about a space robot, but then something about seeing the people who helped bring Cassini to life, who launched her up into the stars... Like, people who worked on this mission named their *kids* after Cassini, and to know those kids were there, 20 years later, gathered together with the other engineers at the end of Cassini's journey. it's something else to think about how much this project meant to the people who made it happen. *And then* to have Cassini continue to send back information an extra *30 seconds longer* than expected must have been a truly incredible moment. I'm genuinely disappointed I didn't know about this incredible little probe until after she was gone.

[@MewMewDerez]

oops, I gendered the space robot

[@lauramuniz5395]

Where can I find the podcast?

[@MewMewDerez]

@@lauramuniz5395 most anywhere podcasts are found, I think. I listen through the google podcast app

[@arianarivers9078]

So long, Cassini, and thanks for the postcards💫

[@sm8874]

Ariana Rivers that was a nice way to put it :)

[@PandaSaturnGaming]

Ryan, this is a surreal tribute to a remarkable spacecraft who completely reshaped our perspective of Saturn and it’s system... Cassini was like you, unlike anything we’ve ever seen or experienced... thank you to both of you for your contributions to mankind... 🥰

[@aleksandrailczuk6095]

Everything I love the most is there. On this one song. On this video. Thank you very much... I think I fall in love on Saturn and other songs again.

[@panostaf7662]

sleeping at last deserve million of views...people need to listen that beauty of music.....

[@MegaRoFLL]

Farewell, you gifted us much more than we could ever dream of. Then again, our dreams are always BIG ! This is why they are called dreams in the first place, because they are huge, like you! Time for a well deserved rest, you and Saturn are finally one!

[@yojj404]

..The universe was made just to be seen by my eyes.... Just wow ❤

[@Dora_M_]

Only Sleeping At Last can make me cry because of a machine like it was my friend (don't get me wrong, Cassini was not just any machine, I value it as much as any of you).

[@theamericanyoutuber]

I didn't even know what exactly Cassini was until 12 minutes ago, and I am legit trying to stifle my tears so no one hears me and gets worried about me crying over an old space probe.

[@shortplum6661]

I was on the verge of tears during the entire video. Breathtaking images of Saturn and Cassini, blended so well w/ poignant lyrics and melody, almost rendered me breathless. A perfect tribute to one of the greatest space missions of all time. Thank you. ;u;

[@clarachase9]

I love this! Sleeping At Last is MAGICAL!

[@cyberrato]

Thank you so much for this masterpiece. I love Sleeping At Last and astronomy and this is just the best video i've ever seen. So simple, so pure, so comfortably calm and im so happy. Cant say thank you enough. I just love it and i wnat to share to everyone.

[@cyberrato]

Earth, Venus, Sun and Saturn. they're my favorite.

[@jasminex1561]

All my favourites mixed together!! I'm crying. It's so good

[@VickySharmaSVS]

Such a magnificent song and video. Pity that a lot of people are missing out on this masterpiece.

[@clarabsantos]

This has made me so emotional. The images of the responsibles for this mission, their joy when things turned out fine. How such a conquest is seen as our victory as humanity, as if ourselves were personally involved on the mission. How some of these people have been working for decades in one project, giving their lives to humanity’s conquest. What makes me most emotional, I think, is how Cassini is a signal for something that we, as humans, have undoubtedly written deep in our souls, which is the desire to explore, the desire to know the infinity. We are always restless, always wanna take a next step, always desiring, as if there was a constant call from somewhere. I personally see this call for the infinity as a call that God himself put in our hearts. Saturn says: the universe was >made< just to been seen by my eyes. I can’t close my eyes to the very obvious intentionality that is in everything that exists. Our capacity to be awed and our desire for beautiful things let clear how our hearts desire things that are beyond what’s material, even if we try to fulfill this calling with our materialism. You don’t have to be too different from the others to notice that pleasure, power and possession can’t fill our hearts. And can’t deny how breathless a beautiful sight is, how it makes you heart almost sting when being struck by beauty. Beauty is useless, in a sense; animals clean themselves, birds preen, but they don’t know what they’re doing. Humans pursue and appreciate Beauty. How transcendent that is. I’m eternally grateful for Sleeping at Last (and my sister, who presented Saturn to me) for translating our wonder before life into music’s beauty, specially in the Space album.

[@goreregen6628]

Love you guys You make me see the universe in a totally different way, and you make me wonder a lot. Thanks for all you do! Love you

[@-lines-8256]

[@vancetan6610]

This video was truly breathtaking, what an amazing universe we have. What a lovely tribute to the minds who made this possible. Farewell, Cassini.

[@AnitaEsse]

OMG THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL

[@claris3056]

I thought this would be pleasant and interesting to watch. I did not expect to be a sobbing, snivelling mess of a human by the end. Gah. This is fantastic.

[@laras6124]

Two good reasons for begin alive today: this music and cake. Thnx :)

[@author_jmbuckler]

I love the combination of multiple songs! So much beauty wrapped into one song. :)

[@wordsandthoughts]

Can't possibly be more grateful for these pieces. Everyone understands why I feel so sad and crying while watching this?

[@MegaRoFLL]

Because deep inside you never stopped being an explorer, a dreamer, a pioneer. Is just that in the heat of your daily life, sometimes you tend to forget about all those things. So, congratulate yourself for that!

[@wordsandthoughts]

MegaRoFLL I don't know what to say actually. I'm at the point of my life wherein everything is a mess. My career, my family, and I guess the worst in here is this: I have been loving someone for nine years now. Someone who doesn't even know that I exist

[@wordsandthoughts]

I am sorry for blurting everything in here. What have I done? I was just tweeting earlier & saw this #Cassini ht. Searched for its vids here in YT and now I'm bawling my eyes out.

[@MegaRoFLL]

Callie, you will always love someone and something, until the end of your life, you just need to adapt. Look at the half filled side of the glass, not at the empty one, at least you got to love someone. It doesn't need to be a two ways thing to be a good feeling. I guess you just need to find the courage and the will to be happy. Sorrow is as big as we allow it to be, or as my grandpa told me once when i wa spassing thru a stormy period...."Just leave yourself alone for a moment...."

[@kshitijdubey8339]

That the Universe was made, just to be seen by my eyes. Love it

[@dylanmacdonald2024]

I've listened to both of these songs so many times and yet here I am crying again oh no

[@AnaCarolinaBCarz]

[@willowchamblin5139]

I love this song so much! It is absolutely beautiful, not a surprise really looking at Ryan's body of work but still, such a breath taking song.

[@martinhampton6964]

it is near impossibly tragic, that humans could make both music like this and Cassini, and at the same time slowly ruin their only living space because of laziness, greed and selfishness. What an unlikely, astonishing and ghastly blip we will have been

[@nikaproust]

The efforts, the music, the obvious end of it (like us), the epic adventure, the name of Cassini, impossible not to cry (English is not my native language) ... Beyond us, the adventure of an unknown vast world ... I have cried also ...

[@echan1291]

even the demons inside me cries along

[@KeshavKalsi]

It's sad how we don't appreciate beautiful things at the beginning, we realise their value after the end. I too saw this video years ago and didn't even think of commenting or sharing this, But today i came back and was reminded of this masterpiece's uniqueness. To me, this is one of the greatest videos I ever had the pleasure of viewing. MARVELOUS.

[@KeshavKalsi]

This is beautiful! How cool would it be if each planet got the “choir” treatment? I know this a lot to ask, but I’m so open for re-imaginings of the Space set of songs! They’re my absolute favorite. Keep doing what you’re doing, I’m in love with everything you do!

[@nameofjame1179]

it feels like all these songs were a build up to this tribute. I love saturn and cassini's story makes it all the more special.

[@matthewstone2545]

Wow, this combined with the music, makes me feel so many emotions at once, sadness, tiredness, relaxation, and I also feel tranquillity... It's just so, perfect... I love it but also get sad seeing and hearing this, I'm happy, relaxed and sad at the same time, I just don't know how to explain it, at least now though, Cassini is sleeping with it's best friend, Saturn.. and is finally... ...One with the stars...
