I rocked my daughter to sleep every night for the first year of her life to this. She is seventeen now, and we saw Indigo girls live together a few weeks ago. When they started playing Galileo, we held each other and rocked back and forth all the way through. It was one of the most profound moments of my life.

You had to bring up reincarnation when we're drinking and now I'm having an existential crisis that turns out to be hope

[@paulamorton9380]

This one and “Closer to Fine” are my favorite Indigo Girls songs. I got to see them perform back in 1987 at Manuel’s in Atlanta, before either song was released. They were just beginning to make a name for themselves, and my date and I had never even heard of them. That night it was like my world exploded. I’d never heard music so profound and beautiful, and haven’t heard anything like Amy and Emily since.

[@bobn3553]

It is nice to find diamonds in the rough like the Indigo Girls.

[@alicelovell3905]

My Favorite too. I was supposed to see them but Covid19 happened.

[@lhommedieu5489]

Nice. Wife and I saw em at Virginia Theater in Champaign....good times....

[@amandajogaddy8825]

Amen.

[@MrTwister50]

I think I might have been there that same night. My friend and I visited Atlanta to see some friends, and their band played at Manuels. These two girls that nobody seemed to know played before them and I'm pretty sure it was Indigo Girls. It's been so long ago.......

[@somegalfromcan]

Is it just me or does this song keep getting better with time?

[@jamesgilmore7955]

I don't know about that, but it's better with wine.

[@MrIreneadler]

You think it's good now, just wait until you hear it in your next lifetime!

[@molipaul]

This song just touches chords of my soul that very few others ever have. It barely starts and the emotion (and tears) just well up uncontrollably. I learned a long time ago that this is one I have to listen to when I’m alone. 😎

[@christiemitchell7249]

Exactly the same. It reaches deep into my soul….

[@williamperkins2160]

I went to my first indigo girls concert because a friend had an extra ticket. It was the Rites of Passage tour. I had never heard of them before. I was hooked. During a particularly difficult era of my life the Indigo Girls music and community quite literally saved my life. I saw them 9 or 10 times over the years. It was Always a positive, uplifting experience. Today I’m a 60 year old happy, contented man. But I never would’ve made it this far without finding the music of Indigo Girls. Thank you Amy and Emily.

[@ashleygloss2865]

This song makes me feel so connected to the human experience it causes uncontrollable tears and smiles, every time

[@divynerosehealing8546]

[@patrickmorris3721]

I’m sorry for your loss. I was just trying to find. Galileo. By Declan O'Rourke Irish singer ☘️💚☘️💚🔥 Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy And he wondered what in heaven who invented such a joy But the question got the better of his scientific mind And to his blind and dying gaze He looked up high and often sighed And sometimes cried Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine? Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then But just remember the alternatives for I remember when I was lonely and unhappy And my lips were cold as ice But you kissed me, and good heavens Now I'm here in paradise So if ever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eyes I won't be blind, and I won't cry I'll look up high and gladly sigh And thank the guy Who puts the rainbow in the sky? Who lights the stars at night? Who dreamt up someone so divine? Someone like you and made them mine? Someone like you and made them mine? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6jQlmihqqmKjJosi=LggSvoaK24is-3E_

[@KidIndigo1]

First of all, they could have been singing "mab ambmabmabmabmabmab" with the music and harmonies, and this would STILL be a great song. Add the lyrics, at least to me, it's wonderful. Always has been.

[@canerican2]

KidIndigo1 I love this song but I would pay good money to hear them sing it like that.

I laughed out loud unexpectedly the first time I heard the "king of night vision" line the first time I heard this song. It kinda comes out of nowhere, and it's at least a little bit corny, I think...Now I uncontrollably weep for 90% of the entire song every single time I play it. Hard to pinpoint a reason, I've also found. I'm no reincarnationist...I know the tears come from the cathartic feeling it arises in me. I think it's a pure unadulterated expression of the beautiful mystery of the human condition. That's my reason, I guess. I dunno. Because of the subjective nature of transcedent beauty, it's hard to define or express to anyone. You just know it when ya experience it, whatever "it" is for you personally...Anyway, thanks for enriching my life, ladies.

[@ardakolimsky7107]

Why did you laugh at _king of night vision_ ?

[@missnaomi613]

I haven't heard this song in yeeeears. And it still triggers the waterworks.

[@DJ-xj3mv]

You really hit the nail on the head with this post. For some reason I was thinking about all the songs that they used to play at my first job (a department store in the summer of '92 through '95) and this one was the 3rd or 4th one I looked up and listened to this morning. I remember us back in the stockroom making fun of the "King of night vision" line even back then. What I didn't remember....what totally caught me off guard just now was the rest of the song and the emotion it brought fourth in me 28 years later (My God where has the time gone?!). It is incredibly insightful and really a damn good song. But I am having a hard time explaining to myself just why I had to wipe my eyes and face before typing this comment!

[@jewfroDZak]

@@DJ-xj3mv right on brotha

[@theoriginaljayz28]

This had always been one of those songs that I either sit quietly & listen to, or sing at the top of my lungs. I have cried.... Closer to Fine makes me cry now that I’m older. Mom of an adult, parents dead, 11 surgeries, defeated cancer, a million losses it seems of loved ones..... it gets me. But I’m grateful I’m alive with a great hubby & son. That’s what makes me Closer to Fine.

[@thumperthompson1602]

Thank you Emily and Amy for your beautiful songs, beautiful voices, and beautiful souls!!

[@ck2834]

When I first heard this song, I didn't think much of it, but added it to a playlist anyway, because my mom liked it. I found it back yesterday when shuffling my playlist randomly. As soon as I heard it, I thought of long car rides out west in the mountains and over the long stretches of flat land between. It makes me want to cry for an inexplicable reason. I love it so much 😭

I was originally introduced to the Indigo Girls as a senior in high school. Two dear friends of mine were avid fans and convinced me, one cold winter night, to listen to this song. I was hooked after that. In the 13 years that have passed, we've each gone our separate ways. But every time I hear this song, it reminds me of that friendship and how much I cherished it. Remembering the three of us singing three part harmony on it and the disbelief on everyone's faces is priceless. Thank you.

FINALLY saw them in concert 8 days ago. TOTALLY worth the decades long wait! And for what it's worth- apparently, in at least one of my previous trips 'round here, I was a building. That's the only way I can reconcile my connection to them.....

[@ananke23]

RIP my friend. This song came on the radio. Can't get you out of my head despite being distant for so many years.

[@johncomeau9245]

How long till my soul gets it right? I've been asking myself that question long before this song. I still haven't, but this song reminds me that's there is a deep and holy spirit in us that struggles to get it right in this crazy world. Bless all who try even if we can't get it right.

[@TheSwanDragons]

This is the song i play when i feel like shit. It helps after about 10 or so reps.

[@wheatpuff]

The longer I know this song the more beautiful it becomes.

[@jewfroDZak]

There’s a moment in the video that really gave away what this song is about, at least my interpretation of it. It happens quick, right at the 1:41 mark, immediately following the line “how long till my soul gets it right?”, she looks up real quick exposing a quick flash of anger, like she is sarcastically posing this previous lyric’s question to god…because she feels like she’s doing a pretty good job and she doesn’t know what else to do, presumably. And I concur with her conclusion on that and commiserate with that exact feeling captured on her face-a slightly disgusted anger at having to ask the question in the first place-in that quick instant. 1:41. I love that moment. Seeing that and recognizing what I think was going on in that moment-I see it every time now. I wait for it. I rewind it and watch it again and again. It happens so quick. Take a look for it. 1:41.

I think I sat with them and smoked a few while they played, it was at a Jerry Garcia show in Canada, they sounded magical, never knew if it was them, it's haunted me for years. Maybe it was the acid.

Just in case someone missed it...they are lesbians, don't have husbands and were NEVER together romantically! They are great friends and business partners that sing together and nothing more as they have stated many times in interviews. Great song and video!

[@pcharmes2]

This has got to be my favorite song... ever. And has been for as long as I can remember. It's been about 15 years or more since I first heard it, and I've never found one that I love more.

[@BrunoEwok]

Fairly irrelevant to this song, but funny thing about Galileo: his failure to take criticism put astronomy back a couple of centuries. The Catholic Church actually had a valid reason for its initial criticism of Galileo and it isn't what anyone things it was. It was the fact that there was no visible parallax; that is, his heliocentric model of the solar system didn't show the outer planets appearing to move relative to the background like you would expect if the Earth was moving so much (AD 1614). The ultimate answer to this could have been found in Nicolas Cardinal DiCusa's work (AD 1460): that the stars were so unimaginably far away. Had he reconciled DiCusa to Copernicus (AD 1514), he'd've gotten an incredibly accurate, 20th century view of the universe. But instead he called the pope a simpleton (AD 1633), gave the church the middle finger, and prompted a centuries' long conflict between inductive and deductive reasoning that is pure garbage.

[@figgi78]

I heard this song in high school. Now in my mid-thirties I'm so glad I've found it again. Life-touching, beautiful, philosophical, complex music. This song has meant a lot to me. Thank you Indigo Girls.

Isaac Newton was actually insulting his rival Robert Hooke, who was of modest stature. It doesn't lessen the beauty of the song, though.

Clash Royale is a tower rush video game which pits players in games featuring two or four players (1v1 or 2v2) in which the objective is to destroy the most opposing towers, with the destruction of the "King's Tower" being an instantaneous win.[9] After three minutes, if both of the players/teams have an equal number of crowns or none at all the match continues into a 2-minute overtime period and the player who destroys an opposing tower wins instantaneously. If no towers are destroyed during overtime, there is a tiebreaker where all towers rapidly lose health, and the tower with the least health is destroyed. If the two towers with the lowest health have the same health, there is a draw.[10] After an update in late 2018, leaving a 2v2 match multiple times prevents the player from playing 2v2 with random players for some time. In Clash Royale, players are ranked by their number of trophies. Players level up by gaining Experience (or King Level) points through donating and upgrading cards. The highest possible level is level 14. As of the October 2021 update, players also receive Star Points when gaining experience, which can be used to give their cards an updated visual skin, usually gold in color. There are up to three Star Levels for each card, which are unlocked when the card is leveled up to level 7 (for level one Star Level), level 10 (for Star Level 2) and level 13.[11] Trophies are won or lost through multiplayer battles, a player wins a battle by destroying more towers than the opponent (each destroyed tower being represented as a 'crown'), or by destroying the opponent's King's Tower, resulting in an automatic "three-crown" victory, commonly described as being "three-crowned". (unless the King's Tower was destroyed at the same time by both players, resulting in a draw, however this is nearly impossible). There are fifteen playing arenas in total (excluding the tutorial arena, Training Camp): Goblin Stadium, Bone Pit, Barbarian Bowl, P.E.K.K.A's Playhouse, Spell Valley, Builder's Workshop, Royal Arena, Frozen Peak, Jungle Arena, Hog Mountain, Electro Valley, Spooky Town, Rascal's Hideout, Serenity Peak, and Legendary Arena, with each arena corresponding to a certain trophy range. Leagues were introduced in March 2017. Upon reaching 5000 Trophies (Legendary Arena), players compete in leagues: Challenger I, II, III; Master I, II, III; Champion, Grand Champion, Royal Champion, and Ultimate Champion. After the end of each season, the player is reset to half of the trophies they gained above 5000 trophies. There are various game modes that the player can play aside from 1v1 or 2v2. These alter the game in some way, including by changing the elixir generation speed, having various troops spawn throughout the game, drafting (Players are given a choice to pick between some cards at the beginning of a match. In the normal Draft, the player chooses four cards, while they get 4 from their opponent. In Triple Draft, cards that aren't chosen by either player will not be in use at all.), auto-selected decks, and more.

Galileo's head was on the block The crime was lookin' up the truth And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode I try to trace them to my youth And then you had to bring up reincarnation Over a couple of beers the other night And now I'm serving time for mistakes Made by another in another life time How long 'til my soul gets it right Can any human being ever reach that kind of light I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision King of insight And then I think about my fear of motion Which I never could explain Some other fool across the ocean years ago Must have crashed his little airplane How long 'til my soul gets it right Can any human being ever reach that kind of light I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision King of insight I'm not making a joke You know me I take everything so seriously If we wait for the time 'til all souls get it right Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation in my life time I'm still not right I offer thanks to those before me That's all I've got to say 'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime Now I have to pay But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration To let the next life off the hook Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life I think I'll write a book How long 'til my soul gets it right Can any human being ever reach the highest light Except for Galileo, God rest his soul King of the night vision, king of insight How long (until my soul gets it right) How long (until my soul gets it right) How long

Great song sung by some very talented ladies, but their history is a little off. Galileo’s head was never “on the block”. He was sentenced to house arrest in his Italian villa where he continued to do science, see visitors, and publish papers. The “house arrest” sentence resulted from events that began in 1624, when Galileo asked his old friend the new pope to lift the ban on heliocentrism. The pope wanted to study it first, so he asked Galileo to write an unbiased book objectively exploring the ideas of Copernicus and Aristotle, including the relationships of the Sun and Earth. Unfortunately, Galileo used the opportunity to advocate strenuously for heliocentrism, instead of just describing it objectively. More surprisingly and consequentially, Galileo insulted the pope by placing the pope's opinions into the mouth of a buffoonish central character in his book: Simplicio. Whether Galileo was being childish, vindictive, or just innocently playful, his behavior was considered very bad form. More seriously, because he was thought to be ridiculing the Church and its leader, it was also considered blasphemous. This is what prompted a trial in 1633 (his second on the topic), in which he was found "vehemently suspect of heresy," and sentenced to stay in his Italian villa; a luxurious prison, but a prison nonetheless. In the end, Galileo was undone not simply because he promoted the idea that the earth went around the sun, but because he promoted the idea in a way that was deeply insulting to his patrons, leaders, other scientists, and especially to the pope himself.

Dear John Heilbron, we're deeply missing you this Thanksgiving, and yet we're moved to have known you. Rest your soul easy, King of Insight.

[@colleenbailey3120]

Their voices still give me goosebumps!

[@stopkvmoore]

Seriously. Im still not right. Love you girls. Bunches

[@Reeseriver]

Their harmonies are brilliant. Very soothing and relaxing music. My wife and I enjoy them, but especially their harmonies. Nice music when one's having a bad day.

[@serious22]

Such a bop. It still rivals anything on mainstream radio.

[@forestbirdgirl]

Shout out to all the Indigo Children

[@starkillertoys1599]

Their harmonies are so beautiful. Amazing how beautiful their voices sound together

[@scottmarkey1481]

That drumming!!!!!!! DAMN.. SO GOOD

[@slcrn345]

I saw the Indigo Girls after having the show changed twice because of COVID. I took my friend with me and we both had an amazing time! They sounded fantastic. I was amazed at how well the played the many guitars they had with them. It was fun just watching their passion for music.

[@michaeldillon3113]

Great video and great song . Were the indigo girls interested in Buddhism or Hinduism or something? Some very Vedantic concepts here . Very complex to tie it in with Galileo !!!✌️🕉️

[@lorikolosowsky7995]

Love these women

[@johnperkins-pg4xw]

For what it's worth, I really enjoy how you love performing

[@scottsawtelle831]

Some 35 + years later while my wife is all snug in our bed and I'm straightening up from the nights frivolity this song brings me back to our small world and I am still so in love ... how lucky can 1 guy be

[@joannaclary3795]

The churches previous beliefs before Galileo's findings were subscribed to Aristotle's model of the universe. They have no problem accepting what seems the most true given the current knowledge on something. Galileo just didnt take the time to present his argument properly and was making his claims before they could be verified as more correct as opposed to Aristotle's model. Stop making an idol out of science, it is a method of trial and error not unchallenged truths.

[@MrOlson300]

2022! Who's still jamming this great tune??

[@ImehSmith]

This is DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS! This song is the reason l bought their whole album!!

[@brydgetburke341]

My 1 song in my life I am determined to learn on guitar, I have been since I was 14? Lol

[@marcucciofoster]

Intelligent talented women, utterly innovative and underrepresented. The lyrics to this song are bardic, and I would have given anything to have shared that bottle of beer and talked about our possible transmigration from soul to soul. May Galileo Galilei continue to guide you in his night visions, smart ladies.

[@ancientable1]

I love their music. Their lyrics are powerful and more people should pay attention to them.

Growing up with an encyclopedia in the house is so Informing to a child.

[@julierathbone9382]

I’ve only just discovered the Indigo Girls and their music (I’m English) and I was blown away. Marvellous!
