Not only an amazing artist, Jon Hopkins is a wonderful man. A year ago I wrote to him how much his music helped me in time when I divorced.. especially when I was returning my daughters to my ex.. I was driving listening to his Immunity album and many times I had tears in my eyes. Well, he replied to me saying that he is thankful for my words and the impact his music had on me.. Not many would do something like that. He is someone with a deep heart and soul, and that is obvious in his music.

[@FranciscoSalas33]

Right there with you man, press on.

[@bcgreenleaf]

i am glad you found some peace. Keep your stick on the ice, we're all in this together - Red Green

[@zurichsee706]

hey man, did you recovered from the heartbreak? I hope you are doing well now. :-)

[@lonr8375]

this song is an antidote

[@Jaxium]

Life is a journey and music makes it a more pleasant experince

[@PromptStreamer]

This music video is all feeling, all flow, all sensory, all coherence, no commercialism, no frills, no exaggeration, no false motives. So pure it grows on you.

[@ZeranZeran]

The look on that young man's face is something I recognize all too well, or atleast, they picked an amazing actor the face of living life to the fullest, enjoying it, just being in the zone. Being happy. Being in the moment. Being thankful. Enjoying right now to the fullest, and realizing it in the moment with a smile on your face. Man, I can't wait to try LSD again. It gives me all those feelings sober. The first time I watched this was during a trip, and it had me completely zoned in studying every detail. One thing I remember clearly is thinking "he's feeling the same thing I am.. Incredibly Lucky."

I know, I feel like this beat is like a permanent part of my life. And the skateboarder with the bruised face just going and going is so beautiful.

[@AudioPervert1]

Bassline of the decade ! constantly evolves, climbs, continues on and on and on .... massive !

it's fun to badddooowapppppa dooop along with it (when no one is watching)

Stunning beat there guys

[@ILove_808]

its a MS20 - he used it for the whole album for the basslines

[@robaky92]

One of the best things I've ever heard. Electronic music at its best.

[@shikhanshu]

Absolutely. A masterpiece

[@fudgecool]

Such a fresh perspective on electronic music. The song moves seamlessly from Eno-esque ambience to a colossal techno beast. Hopkins has produced perhaps the most subtle yet forceful pieces of music I have heard in years.

[@Pow3llMorgan]

The snare is love, the snare is life.

[@paragthakur01]

this song is timeless , 5 years since i discovered this one and still never gets old

[@Mikelica69]

same, listening to it every day

[@messengerpdx]

the beginning of the video... where the skateboarder appears out of nowhere jumping over the fence and skates into the jon hopkins grooves…phenomenal. one of the best video + music syncs ever.

[@Hashpotato]

the silhouette of him against the backdrop of palm trees and pink sky is beautiful stuff. absolute classic tune.

[@pinkbonde8642]

It's like being water...flowing ...life in front and behind... but the present soo present.. wonderful!!

[@yazanabdoush7030]

I discovered this tune back in 2014. It had a massive impact on me. I kept it on replay for days and weeks, and my taste in music has changed ever since. This tune has really shaped who I am now!

[@p0mpilius]

do you have any music recommendations?

[@paulie6446]

It did that to me and I'm 61.

[@memopinzon]

This song SLAPS forever.

[@rorycarter-motley376]

Saw him live in Edinburgh a few weeks before lockdown started, and it made up for everything else I'm going to miss this year. Genuinely the best gig I've been to, split perfectly in half between his ambient piano and tunes like this and Emerald Rush. For half the set the audience sat in enraptured silence listening to his piano. and for the other half the whole of the Usher Hall was stood up, raving. Never seen a gig like it: it was the perfect way to end my second year at uni before corona hit, so grateful.

[@Ludmilla_the_Witch]

This track was always suggested to me on KZbin and somewhere I never found the first few seconds good enough to keep listening. Until I thought that there must be a reason why the track keeps coming up. So I gave it a chance and listened to it several times. It gets better with each listen! I love this masterpiece!

[@aubertgendron7310]

Jon hopkins + Moderat = best live performance

I don't normally go in for quotes but watching this video with that music I finally truly understood Picaso's quote 'We all know art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realise the truth.'

His remix of Disclosure - Magnets is sick aswell

[@_noahrh]

this is one of those songs that the music video highly enhances ... i heard this song once before seeing the video and kinda liked it, but after hearing it and seeing this kid just go on and on on, i dunno something about it made me appreciate the song so much more. if you see me on the madrid metro listening to music with my eyes closed it's probably this song i'm listening to.

[@Daemo1011]

I have to agree with ya on that.

To me this song more than any other I can think of, is as if ecstasy was in music format... The peaks and troughs but also the ambience, sheeeeet it may as well be circa 2000...wild and very well done.

Damn, big fan of skateboarding here and just discovered Jon like 2 months ago. Can't believe Chris Chann did a video for this song. Best of both world

An incredible song... there really aren't many songs that can make me feel the way this song makes me feel. It's like a spiritual experience

[@Zulwind]

You might think this song is simple but how it is slowly progressing is pretty genius.

[@mitch-lawless]

What an entrancing video.

[@SoopzDM]

it's amazing how you can hear so many things in one song. how it can incite so many feelings. i see and hear freedom and liberation with the video alongside. but then i return and there's an edginess, and a solitude, even sorrow. the genius that is jon hopkins

[@67rml]

After enjoying music obsessively for 60+ years, it takes something 'special' to get my attention. This does it. Hugely!

[@ChannelEraleon]

This is soo amazing. That main bass that seems to change and do unexpected things and the ambient sound that surrounds it.... This amazing feel you get from it... Jon Hopkins is a true crafts men at what he makes and I give him all my respect

Why do I keep coming back to this over and over and over again ......... ????????? Because it's such a fantastic song .. all the ups and downs ... love it.

[@williamcurwen7428]

I discovered Jon Hopkins only a few weeks ago. This was after two years of not listening to any music at all, or films for that matter. It all reminded me too much of a world left behind due to Covid. This is the most beautiful, uniquely original music I have heard in years, and it inspires me to start listening and watching again in a world anew, with future possibilities beyond the present existential threats we are all facing. Jon Hopkins, I cannot thank you enough.

Until about 10 years ago I worked as a bartender in a pub. Even today the patrons tell me that they came to my club for the quality of the music. Of course, Immunity was one of the most played albums.

I had a shitty exam today and on my way home I listened to this, It gave me the feeling of moving on and never to look back. That what it meant to me at least today. Great tune indeed.
