Explosions In The Sky - A Song for Our Fathers

[@proy2448]

This band isn't only to listen to when you're sad or need to relax. This band is everything. Their music is...it's beautiful. To people who say this band is overrated or not good - listen. Just listen.

[@The.jorgewalle]

My P.E teacher introduced this song to me just today. A buddy of mine, him and I were talking after getting back to school from a field trip. This song was playing in his car and man…. I asked him right away what this Song was called when I heard 2:58 hit and I felt something sink to my stomach. We were talking about how dangerous cancer is and how we all made terrible mistakes in the past. Just talking about life, music and movies. Was such a simple thing that happened but it meant the world to me standing right next to my best friend and my favorite teacher. Definitely a memory I will cherish forever. You’ll forever be a role model to me. I hope to change the world like you have changed it and I hope to be as humble as you one day. Love you forever Jones

[@MgarrCupcake]

can't get enough from this band.. they are simply my kind of therapy!

[@thenxoxo22]

Dad, I miss you so much. It's been 9 years since you're gone and every time I hear this song I cant help but think of you. Thanks for fighting and being there when you could. Rest in peace and I hope you're in paradise looking down

[@Rashitaastemari]

this song really makes you think about life. beautiful.

[@TheLinkyPoo]

My dad left my mother and I when I was 3 months old. He never sent her money, called, or came to see me, and she never asked, never complained to me. My mother dropped out of college picked up two full time jobs to raise me and keep me located in a good neighborhood, she worked seven days a week for over 4 years while I was a teenager. She lived and breathed for me for over a decade. I am now a chemistry grad student. For this I thank you father, for letting the greatest woman I know raise me.

[@DarkNitro741]

My dad died in my hands,my mother's,and my brother, I have gone into depression praying to god to give him a second chance,My mom has been a lot more silent without him. He was the one that brighten are day,but without him,everyday i see in California is so dark and gloomy. He was a sergeant in the army,and some of the soldiers referred to him as "Pa". Im 17 now,he died 2 weeks before my b-day,but life for me has yet to get good. I love you dad Rest in piece My father Tony Sahagun,I miss you....

[@whosefina]

I hope you're well

[@michaelrenaldi5180]

Probably my favorite song by them...or Postcard from 1952, Have You Passed Through This Night, or Greet Death. Your Hand in Mine probably should be up there too but I've listened to it too many times.

[@wolfgangbrock551]

The best music to listen to you if have a headache or just need to lie down and close you eyes. EitS is one of my favorite.

[@lyndiagonzalez]

I always listen to them when I need to relax or I'm working on homework or something I need to focus on

[@refusedchad]

My Father is an excellent example of a man from his generation, He has taught me more than he has forgotten, and he has forgotten more than most men are ever taught.

[@94chancey]

Although I may not have lost my father, listening to this song makes me think of how much different life would be if he was gone today. It makes me appreciate all that he has done for me and how much he loves me. Losing my grandfather was hard enough as is, I don't know how I am going to keep living without a father someday. I love you dad.

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

I'm pretty happy to see that after all these years, this vid is still here even so many have got taken down. Sure, these vids were never the official thing, but for some us it means a lot for them to be here, like the music was here for us when we needed it most. I'm speaking more generally than just EITS stuff, but yeah.

[@EUMATHEUSMusicaExperimental]

thank you, i understand you and i am very happy! I think the secret is not to do it for money... if you have the music and show your history, this is important... it's good for everyone... this is a reminder, of the incredible days listening to one of the best bands of all time!

[@jesuislepluscool]

I'm so proud of my father! He managed to escape the war just in time before the Khmer Rouge arrived. He came to Canada, alone, poor, at the age of 19, and he could barely speak the language. He stayed positive and happy even though he was left alone. Now, he lives very happily with the family and we live very well. I'm so proud of my dad, he's awesome, funny, kind, I love him... :)

[@foncsix]

i cant believe how it be so expressive without ANY words. although my mind full of with words and expressions in connect with my dad... memories, voices, fragrances, flavours... how could i have lost him?! how could i have let this happen...?

[@GypsyStan5150187and2]

words will never describe this song

[@sixtynizzle]

i am thankful for people like this, who can create such magic. still today

[@esrabalci1239]

İşte bu müzik! sözsüz kendini ifade edebilmenin son noktası

[@MisterNerdXx]

Its the moments like these in life that remind us about the humane side of us all, the emotion that we all go through. Inspired by meaningful songs like these, we just sit and stare into empty space, watching, waiting for a sudden jolt of reality......

[@marspl]

crazy I have heard this song probably 1000 times over the course of 13 years and it still hits so heavy and wonderfully.

[@bright5086200]

This song makes me feel like all my past times when i haven't given 110% every single waking moment of my life REGRET. But then when the hard beat comes on it makes me feel like the time is NOW. I love Explosions in the sky.

[@whodatninja439]

Amazing how the first song from their first album ends up being one of my favorite songs of theirs. I can't believe anyone (including the Explosions guys) could ever dislike this song or album! It's bloody amazing! The bass is so slick and laid back, love it!!

[@AbhilashNoxBaruahnx1ee7]

Lost my father on a rainy October afternoon, 2k17 Not a day goes by when I can't see his face without this song buzzing in the background of my head. EITS

[@Orlando19ism]

My apologies, pal. I understand your feelings. This song sounds in my head too, when I thinking about my father...

[@CookiesAllTheTime]

So there are still people who create this kind of music. I'm happy.

[@unamiga9713]

ΠΑΝΕΜΟΡΦΟ!!! Just Beautiful!!!

greece.

[@damjanstojanovski4808]

Ова е поезија на нашите предци. Секој нивен здив обвиткан во виолински клуч. Ни се насмевнуваат и ни шепотат: Оди сине. Не биди во заблуда. Ова е твојот рај. Уживај во него. Сега и потполно. Поздрав од Македонија. This is our ancestors poetry. Every breath of our ancestors wrapped up in a nice huge G clef and and presented to us (the lucky ones) who are listening to this band. They are gracefully smiling and whispering to us: Go forward son. Do not waste your precious time on this soil, because at the moment you are walking on heaven's dust. Enjoy it now and completely. Greetings from Macedonia

[@PauloFernandesdeAquino]

The video show me like our vision about World can't change, after bad things happened ... I love you Dad .. no matters where place you are.

[@jpblackk]

My Grandpa just passed away with cancer, and the love of my life who left me months ago came back for support as a friend. She is the only person I want to talk to, yet I had to tell her no because I love her too much. I am lost and this song is the only thing that fills the empty void within me. Thank you EITS.

[@GhstsnGuitars]

Really rocking the vibes of these soundscapes!

[@87paulik]

WoW...I had this song on a cd like 5 or so years ago, lost the CD and totally forgot about this song until last weekend. Forgot who it was by though and it has been driving me nuts ever since, finally found it again YES!

[@pouinha]

Ficou joia, parabéns!

[@theunhallowed23]

Happy fathers day everyone. Please spend your time with him, once he's gone forever he ain't coming back.

[@tealovinshortperson]

I know I'm just adding to the list. Well, my father died when I was 2. Very unexpected and random. He had a heart condition no one knew about, including himself. He had a heart attack during my older brother's basketball practice, my dad being the coach. He died on the court. My brother was the last to see him alive, he was only 7. My brother hasnt played basketball ever since. Yeah my childhood was rough, but God prevailed. My dad loved and cherishd us, i look forward to seeing him in heaven.

[@CioSing]

I love my dad, I couldn't live without him around me, so listenig to this song is really touching.

[@whodatninja439]

Wow I love this song! It's so simple and moving, but still has that edge to it that makes 'Explosions' so amazing.

[@Alexiees]

That song remembers me on so many moments in my life. It's right, that Music shows what words can't describe anymore.

[@swashbucklery]

first heard this song in summer 2007. went on to buy all of there albums since the two tines I saw then live it was probably sone of the the best tines i've had

[@Anne-pl9lh]

this on is the best couldn't stop playing it over and over again

[@Naudins]

This music is not made by people but by emotions. That's creativity in it's most pure form.

[@ArtByArr]

EITS creates songs without words, because their music is so beautiful words aren't needed. The music is the song, and it can be a song about anything you'd like it to be.

[@kyo331]

the first song i heard from EITS. since then i got into this band. thanks for sharing.

[@PellMJ]

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song in the past three days.

[@EvilMelon44]

My father left when I was 3, I have a daughter, 2 years old, I hope she can someday play and listen to this song with pride.

[@Jessixuhh]

thank you,.. it wasnt easy, so i wouldnt consider myself to be tough. i miss my dad a whole lot and i always come back here around this time of year. always makes me sad,... thank you for your kind words though.

[@InterpolFL]

One of my all time favs by EITS....excellent stuff.

[@GaganOshan]

Amazing song! Fill me in with a kind of Hunger! Cant get enough of this song :)

[@TheHEADROCK]

f*cking amazing....simply perfect!!

[@purplepinaple6]

so amazing i just wish there were more bands like this the make the most beautiful sound ever

[@BBoyHarry94]

.... EPIC... THIS IS THE WORDS FOR THIS SONG

[@Ahbeeb]

Beautiful song. Simply amazing.

[@Skip2MeLou1]

Best song on the album.

[@meliams5661]

Jaimie Knox and Magic Hours ;)

[@loakayadri1329]

magic hour is best sorry ^^

[@Skip2MeLou1]

This one has more views so it must be better

[@timfowkes]

Both great songs... but yea, I've gotta agree with Loaka. It's all subjective... as long as it makes you feel good who cares!

[@konfusion101]

this song sends me on a rollercoaster ride through my thoughts. Amazing

[@FlankHappens]

I love the video. Great idea to just film your ride and as a background for the song; came out great.

[@Bacopa68]

EITS is an awesome band. Saw them perform in the cleared out surfboard area of Soundwaves in Houston a few years back. They didn't play long, but it was awesome.

[@anthrosk9411]

I love instrumental post rock... never fails to create wild landscapes and stories in my mind

[@wozzer0991]

Hit the nail on the head, couldnt think of a better definition.

[@Munnsmoke]

This song is amazing simply for that fact that it can evoke a totally different emotion depending on the person listening to it. Most people are reminded of what their fathers have done for them. I'm reminded of what mine has not done for me. He was not there for me. Ever. But this song still fits both sides.

[@Crusherdub]

such a great song to kick back think of old memories and smoke a bowl to :))

[@ac1013dc]

I'm a metalhead mainly, but i heard one these guys song on an MMA highlight video and these guys make epic songs, especially for highlights. Makes me reminisce of the old Pride FC days.

[@dre32pitt]

one of their better songs that dont get talked about enough.. not like they get talked about enough in the first place.. but thats what makes them so special

[@lookalooey]

its like looking at abstract art. you can interpret anything in any way that comes to you. Any type of music, even everyday life can and will have different interpretations from person to person.

[@p2psux5]

god i love this song it is so unbelievably beautiful what great music what wonderful musicians

[@TheAwesomeAjay]

Rainymood + explosions in the sky = amazing!!!!

[@B0neyKingofN0where]

This bass line makes my blood ripple and pulse to the beat, of which reminds me of a Modest Mouse tone.. The music gods blessed us with both EitS and MM.

[@heepofsheep72]

I'm so baked right now! I love listening to this band.

[@birKOoOo]

@Jarkein :) Sad but true, mate. You've got some really great bands in France! Saw Sugartown Cabaret a couple of weeks ago, amaaaaaaaaaaazing! Keep it true! Cheers from Madrid!

[@vaN1ty]

i agree. The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.

[@Naudins]

In my opinion, creativity is mostly about expressing emotions. Usually, when emotions are expressed in music, they come in a human "casing". But in post-rock, these emotions are pure and not limited or polluted by human language or whatsoever.

[@MrCrabpants]

I wan't to call myself an Explosions in the Sky fan, but suddenlly realise i've just been in love with this one track for many years. Can someone recomend me any others of the same quality... because this one is going to be with me forever.

[@23coldplay]

that guitar riff just takes yu in and at 3:11 bamm! that drumming..oh baby this song's got you ;)

[@suskabob]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@jameskillyourface]

all these comments are about people and their dead fathers, which makes my dad sitting right next to me much more appreciated

[@physcogurl64]

This song has always been one of my favorites, I don't know my dad but everytime I hear this I feel like I do. :(

[@c.evanscevans5857]

Reminds me of Rocky Hill in my balcony and the art piece Starry Night... God I miss those bonfires... And foxxy's gazing smile... How I miss it so

[@ilikes2sk8]

my friend was playing this bass line really fast yesterday, so we jammed to it. it was amazing...

[@YouSuck1543]

@xRisingSun I know that was three months ago but you are my new hero i love the way you portrayed that..

[@ninjabaker4601]

Id like to know what inspires their music.Post rock in general is tied for my favorite music gerne and to me is pure emotion in musical form.I know alot of music is but post rock seems more raw.

[@153orange]

lovin' this. i'd love to dedicate this to my dad up there.

[@erthdelta640]

As a dad, I wish I could help in some way. Keep listening to the music, and don't make the same mistakes they made.

[@Xcokedav096]

this, and six days at the bottom of the ocean, are my favorites :)

[@VERTAIR7]

A+ AWESOME VID SFX & THE MUSIC IS VERY COOL...SURREAL !

[@mauiman707]

for some music you have to be in the right mood to listen to it, but with Explosion in the Sky, the music puts you in the mood you want to be in

[@vjork]

This was the first song i chose to listen this year :)

[@technopriest8686]

I lost my father a couple days ago. I don't even know how I can type this. Everytime this songs plays from now on all I can think about is him. I love you dad.

[@Wowee2012]

this is something to listen to while painting a masterpiece of surrealism

[@taiilahh]

A song must have words to be a called a song, in any dictionary you find.. but this piece of music is more poignant and beautiful, without even the need for words, than any "song". ;D

[@domjondomjon]

they're headlining the End Of The Road Festival in Dorset in september, it's a fantastic festival.

[@EducationForDummys]

@xRisingSun you're description of this song is spot on. great insight

[@danhardy150]

Explosions in the sky are just such a great band !

[@radiomarspla]

This is such a great, amazing (everything else) song, I don't know why this music is so underrated, maybe because we live among dead people!!!

[@justingarotte219]

How could ANYONE not like their music!?

[@mbrx5jk4]

I honestly dont see the point in going on to a video that is clearly amazing and clicking the dislike button, its not like anyone respects you for doing it, if anything people dislike youtube haters. So have fun not liking amazing work, I on the other hand will enjoy this for what it is.

[@JorDo1024]

Been Searching for this for a long time now...

[@Placeblob334]

If going by straight definitions this isn't a song, but a composition. But anyone who is that uptight really needs to chill, it's a beautiful peice of music.

[@tosavealice]

chris is such a sick drummer... eits is my favorite band to listen to while driving

[@maxxontherun]

My dad died of cancer when I was only seven. I barely remember him. Listening to this song makes me feel like I know him a bit more.

[@ShaunOfSource]

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost my father March of last year & unfortunately, as people, we don't get to see the ones we've lost in physical form again until we as well join the spiritual realm of existence/consciousness... But hang in there friend, cus it only gets easier as time passes & new oppurtunities arise. Find healthy outlets for your feelings before you find yourself unsure of what your purpose is in life, cus you deserve so much more.

[@johnmccloskey773]

Nice !, they seem nice , and i like nice when i,m stressed up .

[@BloggerMusicMan]

The first time I listened to this song I pictured Hoth from the Empire Strikes Back but with modern weapons, aircraft, missiles and shit. It was riveting, I still remember that day almost a year ago.

[@SugarFreeRecordsUK]

Just superb...

[@Androhead]

Ke genial el tema, buena banda... me bajo su discografia ahora >=D :)
