Explosions in the Sky - Landing Cliffs

[@Greatendeav0rs]

I first really, really, disliked this song. Like something in me couldn't deal with this. I was coming off a long stint of long days at work followed with long days on campus and extremely short on cash but on this particular day, I got off work on time. The day before felt like a battle zone of words and critiques about papers and life decisions, where I didn't feel victorious when the day ended. But on this particular day, it was a perfect 74 degrees and something about the timing, the weather, the importance of mastering an art of going back to the drawing board of life and stepping away from the norms that made me appreciate this song even more. As I waited for the bus this day, I let this song play and it hit me. I felt the breeze gently sweep across my face and the bus arrived a few minutes later. There was a smile at the entrance of the bus and there was a calm moment from a city that I ventured to on a spontaneous whim. And since moving to this place, I've been taking more losses than wins. But I realized, that I was still standing. And just like this song, I instantly appreciated the subtle beauty in the slower moments of our lives.

Felipe Juan this happened to me as well. I once found this band at 12 I listened to them for a few years then moved on to my teens. my mind changed, my soul changed, life was differentof course it's natural I was growing up. I come from alot of abuse, physical, emotional, and sexually from people I was suppose to love. I lost track of their music because I was lost in my pain and sorrow. i am now 23 and accidently found them again and my whole body went warm and I felt the ghost of my once innocent happy self with me again. I felt a wave of emotion enter me. mabye it wasn't time for you. mabye when you felt this it was the perfect moment and your soul knew it as did mine

So you have seen the error of your ways

[@screamingXskittles]

Felipe Juan beautifully said

[@meganwhite9021]

Wow. I just listened to this album today. I can say this is my favorite song from it. I can relate to your experience so much Lauraine. I started listening to this band at 17. Fell hard into addiction and other things, and lost track of their music as well. I am 32 years old now. But at some of my darkest moments...just remembering "the earth is not a cold dead place" has saved my life.

[@RNnSan49]

Omg your comment :( 💙

[@joblesstess]

I love the comment section, and especially this song. I wanna be friends with people who love this song

[@spencerhorton4690]

The one thing the past couple of years has taught me is how profound the human experience is. We want to put it in a box, give it a checklist, or have it fit nicely on one page. Such efforts reduce what it actually means to be human, to live, to struggle, to fail, to fight back, to love, to lose, and to just breathe. Life is a beautiful, miraculous mess.

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

Well put. ,dan'

[@PedroF-956]

Happy Christmas and New Years to all.

[@CarlosAndréFortes]

Thanks, for you too

I had to listen to this album a few times before it grows on me after it first came out. But it has never really hit me the way the their 2nd & 3rd albums did. I have also been sober for almost 2 yrs now clean of everything. And then recently I was on a beach in koh phangan, lying on a hammock facing the horizon as the sun breaks free. I was crashing after a night out on mandy & randomly picked out this album to listen to. And then the magic happens so unexpectedly. As I listened to it from the start to finish, I was floating thru the clouds. At one point in the middle of the album I was even floating backwards. I was as happy as I could ever be. I can not share this experience with any of my friends as words cannot do justice to what I have experienced that morning. So I am sharing this with anyone who had listened to the wilderness & has gone thru’ what I had that morning coz we may not know each other and may nvr meet but we have been connected by the gift that this band has given us thru this album. I think I finally understood why it is called the wilderness.

[@Yet333]

Being on molly on a beach off Thailand doesn’t sound sober. It does sound amazing though

[@camilobernal6080]

What a profound duality between sorrow and joy, like they have just went beyond good and evil and arrived somewhere superior, like they landed on a higher cliff. So beautiful.

[@saulorocha3755]

I listen to this album all the time.

[@eyescublind2887]

Proving all that story telling can be told without singing a single lyric.

[@EnloomOfficial]

Brilliant piece of music. Reminds me, not of the music, but the feeling of hearing "The Moon is Down" for the first time. Beautiful

[@danl5632]

Poetry without words.

[@ayyeeitsmeg6520]

This makes me feel like I'm floating in space surrounded by billions of stars and galaxies or simply flying endlessly over a field of tall grass with scattered trees as if I'm on a different planet.

[@Bennybonz]

oh word, this is sumthing id smoke a joint to, just me by myself at night lookin at the stars n shit...letting my mind travellll...................

[@Krisleigh1981]

No entiendo por qué esta banda no es tan conocida. Tienen canciones increíbles que te erizan todo el cuerpo. Sinceramente bellsíimo. Soy de Argentina y hablo español, así que mucha información no puedo obtener de ellos! Pero me alegro de poder conocerlos. ❤

Yo de España y diría que es mi banda favorita desde hace dos años. Ojalá un día pueda verlos en directo.

Blaine Mansell Seeing them for the second time later this month, genuinely hands down best gig I've ever been to, absolutely captivating.

[@bjm1777]

+Will Hewitt I can imagine so! Where are you seeing them?

[@willhewitt1649]

Blaine Mansell Manchester Albert Hall, still tickets available at a lot of venues! www.ents24.com/uk/tour-dates/explosions-in-the-sky

[@bjm1777]

+Will Hewitt Nice! I was looking at tickets but I live near Cardiff so I'd be having to travel pretty far. I'm sure it'd be worth it though

[@janellcano6352]

every sparkle of sand in the sunset on the beach... the glimmer on the ocean waves...

[@fernandabouzan7060]

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"Brainstorm, inspiration strikes in the same place twice as you shrug them both away. The wind breezes, huffs, gales, then tornadoes. The clouds turn gray and start to cry upon you. This is supposed to be cleansing? You think to yourself. This is a metaphor. Life isn't funny anymore. Fun isn't even fun these days. You aren't, you're not, you are not you and can't cannot decide whether you want to live or be alive, if you even have a say.. The moon crescents as if it's going to sleep to let you sulk in peace. The storm is now growing inside of you and you can't look it in the eye, you're afraid of what it's growing, angrier maybe, change perhaps, but it's not going to let you rest until you choose. The moon is waking up, suggesting you do too. Sadly sadly sadly sadly, life isn't a dream." ,dan'

[@presidentsanders3486]

Explosions in the sky? More like Explosions in my Pants.

[@jeleul]

It's like Radiohead's Knives Out from minute 4 onwards but in slow motion. Beautiful!

[@janellcano6352]
