God Is An Astronaut - Shadows

[@jjddrumming]

Without a shadow of doubt, I wouldn't say 1 of the best Irish bands, but 1 of the best bands on our planet... Post-rock is just something else...

[@ShowsomeFury]

every time i listen to this band i get chills...they make me see things so clearly and appreciate how beautiful everything really is. This band is truly amazing.

[@someidiot23]

Wow. I think I could listen to this song all day. So great!

[@RepublicofSocialismZ]

another beautiful band i can add to my list of listening aides to concentrate on home-work and feel great! love this band.

[@respectheinsanity]

@biggyph00l I hate rap.. But atmosphere, Is a breathtaking artist. I'm a metalhead.. And I could never get tired of listening to Atmosphere.

[@SlovenianJunkie]

The name of the band is WIN , songs themselves are WIN ...... and you mate ....you are the biggest win to upload these songs !!!!!!! Nice christmas present for me !!!

[@lennythebat]

Great band.

[@IPTKI]

Amzing band , love the guitar part ( 1:50 ) Just beautiful

[@RusselF013]

Heavenly! I got goosebumps when I first listened to this!

[@lastplacewin]

This song actually makes me feel like I'm flying. Close my eyes at night, lie down and breathe very deeply and very slowly. I know it sounds like a bunch of new age, hippy voodoo crap but honestly - try it. It really works. You don't need drugs to feel like you're on another planet.

[@extropian]

@MrEnterprisestar Great post. Writing off an entire genre of music is not that far from closing your mind off from an entire culture, artform, or langauge. Embracing difference will ultimately lead to being exposed to new experiences and a deeper understanding of life. The broad sweeping statments about life are the cause of so much of ignorance and hatred in our society.

[@sebastian6385]

@tstalsby509 music has a value in every kind of my friend.. personally i listen to every kind has to give something to me.. its absolutely beautiful as u said..& i just came back from their concert in Athens & they were great..

[@Prefuse]

Beautiful, gives me strenght and serenity.

[@MariusG94]

you never listened to music while being stoned, did you? It makes the most awesome music in the world more awsome

[@Kamozeloraoz]

Beautiful, just beautiful...

In my opinion, this is the best post-rock band :)

[@gwalchafed]

best band I've ever heard! maybe they should make a song with lake of tears!

[@vinayjb007]

2.52 - 3.54. just just... amazing!

[@DjBlindShadows]

I wonder how long I can listen to this and not care that I am alone...

[@livingoutloud40]

Musical Excellence, this band is at the height of awesome right now

[@Cousincorporated]

INCREDIBLE

[@robsalienn]

This is beautiful. As if the music makes its own lyrics, they say 'fly away'

[@biggyph00l]

@Wtfpwned90 I think you're incorrect. Listen to Daylight by Aesop Rock and read the lyrics. The guy is a literal genius and it shows in his Rhymes. There are so many superb hip hop artists out there like Aesop, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, and Atmosphere. You just need to know where to look.

[@Thane113]

The Astronaut bless everyone here, people with unique taste of music.

[@caim3465]

beauty

[@Strychine]

Wow... This is just... This song just pushed me over the edge. I will now go to amazom.com and order every single cd these guys ever spat out. Then I will listen to them over and over ... and over.

[@SouthernCross_]

the end of this song is fucking epic.

[@namename9141]

Я что то уже их месяца три слушаю подряд:D

[@kklol0]

I LOVE THE oUTRO

[@mag8dalena8]

Great music!

[@nasheextant3898]

My dad showed me this band a few years back and I'm just finally getting into them now x3 gosh this is so emotional compared to his usual (Astral projection, Scatterbrain, Freq) most of his stuff sounds mechanical and just robotic. Given, Astral Protection is definitely warmer than Freq. It's just fascinating that he likes this band because he usually likes Dark Psy Trance and other variations of psychedelic trance. He likes hearing all the sound effects all around his head xDDD that sounds a bit sensory overloadish to me, but I definitely enjoy it when he puts this on. His usual music is coldly trippy and I struggle to comprehend it because I can't find the meaning behind it. This, I can always acquire an emotional response that can help me interpret it. So far I only know stuff off of All Is Violent, All Is Bright, but this album looks promising lol

[@sayatakpunyanama]

i guess you have a good life then, mine's been qute broken since i lost my taste in good bands, ive been in a weird state that is cant enjoy decent music, and ive been trying to change that, this song quite helps

[@Teksunai]

You person, made me laugh. XD Thank you. ^-^

[@antymonkrakuski7854]

4:00 to the end is progressive sound of hell in my interpretation

[@gustavosauceda5046]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS?!

[@caim3465]

dislikes not displayed anymore

[@rockerlalee]

@lastplacewin I thought I was the only one who does that! I can do nothing but agree with you.

[@Doombox10]

Everybody has their own choice of music genre, and everybody else must respect that, personally i enjoy listening to this BEAST of a band and i despise R'n'B. But its immature to judge people by their actions and beliefs, and also immature to 'dis' peeps who in which you havent even met before or got to know. ANYWAYS THIS BANDS ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF

[@Revolthell]

@vicavox Thank you too, for giving some quality artists.

[@Sizifus]

@Scottieonfire Which was first? All is violent all is bright?

[@ЛазарьВолков-т3е]

Nice!

[@marcingoszki1]

good...:)

[@jcjqpd]

超high!!!

[@emptify]

@affe95 I think it's more like instrumental Post-Rock or something^^

[@CuteCadaver]

@sfagias Lupe Fiasco for example. He's a man of true words and true music. Mainstream rap is and will always be a thorn in the flesh of us honest musicians and artists.

[@Shamanmagic95]

holy crap that ending blows my mind

[@DemiseUnseen]

The person, who baptized him, had his head cut-off. He was followed by 12 disciples, and, since he is considered the son of Sun god, the 12 disciples were the 12 zodiac signs. Amazingly, he also performed miracles, and walked on water like Christ. Ra was also crucified like Christ. He was buried in a tomb, and was resurrected in three days. He also performed, 'sermon on the mount' like Jesus.

[@danaic1]

RE EINAI TELEIOOOO!!!!

[@detectiveyoshi]

@lastplacewin its true that you dont need drugs to enjoy music. its just that drugs makes it even better i dont think anyone can disagree with me on that no matter how much they hate it

[@Sizifus]

@Scottieonfire 4? I thought it has only 3

[@thewhitemonkey100]

Good song:) whats it called?? Cheers if anybody replies-cool:)

[@pogmstillfly]

sot his is where everybody goes to talk smack about rap music...WHY WASN'T I TOLD?!

[@TheBeckieBrown]

uau!

[@ibanezxiphos700]

@tstalsby509 i like rap... as well as many other genres of music. what is wrong with that? it all comes down to taste...

[@yerpuu]

@tstalsby509 you can't compare two completely different forms and styles of music and determine that one is better rap music has some incredibly deep meaningful lyrics with a somewhat generic beat behind it, but thats what rap is about the words not the beat where as this excellent band focus more on creating beautiful relaxing instrumental music it isnt about which one is better its about which one you prefer music eclectisim is really needed on these youtube comments

[@hiphopdood]

@2CSST2 very well said.

[@LudwigLaborda]

I've tried it. It feels really good.

[@QQthimagfnqqba]

@tstalsby509 You just have to listen to the right songs!

[@Revolthell]

@vicavox Thanks alot man

[@SelaikaCatoblepas]

@tstalsby509 the up-tempo moments came out of nowhere, so they're capturing you, they robbing you ^^

[@MzBsg999]

wow

[@yousuffahimuddin]

@tstalsby509 The funny thing is good rap sounds like this.

[@Sirver]

@TristanZeitler Nope, hasn't changed my mind, quite insulting that you compare that to this.

[@TheProletarius]

@lastplacewin I allready take.....and is perfect..

[@conduit_edm]

Wow, it really shows how terrible society is now that you need a joint to enjoy quality music...

[@Shamanmagic95]

@peacauve some rap is good, although i typically prefer the genres of post-rock and rock. but there's still a lot of post-rock bands or rock bands i don't really like too. i'm not much into bashing an entire broad genre since that seems kind of ignorant to me, shrug.

[@2CSST2]

@lastplacewin Well trust me, drugs do help. With this music you can feel emotions you've never felt before. But you have to be responsible and cautious with them, for sure. I just don't like closing the door to mindblowing experiences, but it's a personal choice after all.

[@jurjenmolen]

@tstalsby509, Some rap can be nice once in a while, it's requires a little less listening mostly:)

[@MrBastardopunk]

creo que soy e único que se droga escuchando esta música :/ pero creo que es una manera diferente ... me gusta entrar en trance... y mantenerme en el mismo lugar y al mismo tiempo no..

[@ibanezxiphos700]

@peacauve i know, i just shoved like a whole water melon in it

[@JohnathanLaFey]

@kingman4888 I found my moment today.

[@onelastorphan]

He said it's better. Not that it's a piece of shit without it. I agree with him, but it's only chemistry... Weed makes sounds more beautiful to you. It doesn't make it any worse when it's gone, you're just in another world, and to you it sounds not just "pretty fucking badass", but "EXTRA fucking badass" when you're stoned.

[@DrSpaceman3]

@detectiveyoshi Way to project dude, not everyone's the same.

[@justinianianian]

Could you name some names? I'd be interested in expanding my musical knowledge

[@petermccormick6048]

Sigur Ros - Valtari album.

[@BashYouLongtime]

@Scottieonfire Bayside has the same effect on me.

[@MrBastardopunk]

@lastplacewin pero la droga te aumenta ese sentir

[@TamaraChaos]

This is pretty cool. Is Shadows the band or what? Who did this?

[@caim3465]

God Is An Astronaut is the band

[@texmexspm]

@lastplacewin but you do to jump into other dimensions

[@Chazgd]

I can agree with everyone's dislike towards rap music, but dont get it mixed up with old school hip hop :)

[@Cousincorporated]

last one

[@ChrisProify]

ontos

[@silverwolf122]

@tstalsby509 If you don't limit yourself to one genre i find its quite easy :)

[@Wtfpwned90]

Now, even if you don't limit yourself to one genre (which i dont, my favourite genre is grunge but i also love D&B and dubstep), you can see what has quality and what doesn't. I'm sorry, but i can't see the quality in rap music. Got nothing against those who like it, but personally i think there's a massive gap between this song and any rap one. Because this one has quality.

[@Wtfpwned90]

@biggyph00l Oh no, i do think that there are some good rhymers/rappers (if you will) out there. My point remains, there's a massive gap between this song and any rap one. I can admit that some of the old school rap (reeeeeeaaaaaally old school) have quality, but comparing it with this i find grotesque.

[@Sirver]

@QQthimagfnqqba What you're saying is "Ignore the majority of rap! That doesn't count! Find the few obscure ones!" You have to face the facts, This type of instrumental rock, is the majority of instrumental rock, peaceful, tranquil, and uplifting. The genre of Rap will always be violent, boastful, and very bad poetry, even if you compare the slow songs, they will always seem very boastful. Rap will never be taken seriously to people who care about music. Music is Art my friend. Music is Art.

[@H.P.Lovecraftscat]

@yousuffahimuddin yes it is funny...

[@Hoplite001]

@mobius1ify Theres beauty in everything really you just have to look for it. I dont like rap though lol, I'm waaaay too white to like rap.

[@thatsphreshish]

1:48. Need new pants.

[@butters226]

are you aware of the 70's?

[@detectiveyoshi]

@DrSpaceman3 im not a dude but allright, if you say so

[@DemiseUnseen]

Amun Ra had a very similar pattern to Jesus Christ, per the book name "The Book of Dead". It is the holy book of Egyptian History. His mother name was Meri, while his father name was Josep. The birth of Ra, was predicted because of a comet/star. When he was born, the Sheppard’s, and farmers witnessed his birth. Egyptian King Herut tried to kill him for plaguing the minds of people about the one true God. When Ra turned thirty, he decided to get baptized.

[@TheHansLeenhouts]

@lastplacewin A fool who told you that. Merely realizing tools.. only tools that have been designed to help. just saying..

[@Agalloch100]

99% of rap music is gay as hell. This band is my third favorite!!!!!! Fucking love this song as well.

[@gijose95]

you just have to be a man who is willing to jump from space to the surface of the earth at 800 miles per hour,while ripping through the sound barrier and having the entire world watching, red bull gives you more than wings... IT GIVES YOU BALLS OF STEEL

[@th3soulreaper]

God is a hacker/wizard, i just know it.

[@DanielDrummerFace]

u dont need drugs for this music.... all u druggies.. wakeup u wernot born with a special pipe in your throut so you could enjoy this music, you were born with a pure mind and (maby) a pure heart.

[@oceanceaser44]

he didnt say need

[@QQthimagfnqqba]

@Sirver Your opinion. You better keep it to yourself because it's kind of insulting. You can never judge a genre.. If you say that rap is violent, i can say music like this is gay? No. Because it makes no sense. I repeate there are rap songs and styles you haven't even heard. yet you judge...

[@sssjs08]

Robert smith on vocals would be sick

[@sfagias]

@tstalsby509 Actually, it does not. Quality rap/hip-hop has much more to offer. I bet you say rap and think of 50cent and douchebags like him. Well, think again because some of the rhymes several MCs are writing are very powerful.

[@LinTekKim]

Was that...no can't be..was that a dark souls reference?
