Jóhann Jóhannsson - Fordlandia

[@XxIndividualxX]

I tripped shrooms and played this while we were driving through the snowy mountains of Colorado. As the tempo slows down towards the last segment of the song I began to see time itself slowing. I was awestruck. It was absolutely amazing. Yet it was frightening because both the car and my body began to move as slow as everything else was and it scared me so I changed the song lol. It is definitely a powerful song.

[@vorpal72]

This man's music is simultaneously healing me and destryoing me.

[@DirectionD]

RIP Jóhann Jóhannsson - You may have passed, but your work lives on.

[@alexpantoja5316]

His music was too excellent for this world RIP Jóhann Jóhannsson

[@ErionDelta]

I've come to appreciate that, even though there are wars, even though there is disease, even though there are droughts and floods, and even though there is death, we can look to the good things in life. This is one of those good things. Thank you, Johann Johannsson. Thank you.

[@FulviaCastagna-ts4dn]

❤ è il meglio che si possa ascoltare di buon mattino per iniziare una giornata incerta.Oggi come sarà lasciamo che il destino si riprenda il buio e pure i pensieri negativi.

[@mel_moonbow]

This Is So Much Better Than What Everyone Else Thinks Is 'Good Music'.

[@Sindylol]

Melodies from a place where time goes by while standing still. All the material seems to fall apart and what remains is poetry, and the forgotten melancholy these harmonies remind us of.

[@CeicaCellMusic]

A true inspiration... Rest in peace...

[@victoriagillard]

I put this song on my status on facebook. 2 of my friends listened to it and made it their status! this song needs more love!! i am in a trance when i listen to it! maybe the most beautiful piece of music i have ever listened to.

[@93Marlin]

It does my heart good to know that in an era such as we live in, there is some truly amazing music such as this, still being composed and enjoyed. It makes me believe that maybe, just maybe there is hope for the future of music and the human race.

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

Kevin Keller this is an example of the best of mankind

[@Aethernial]

No matter how I feel, every time i listen to this piece it relaxes me, makes me think about how beautiful life is and how lucky I am to enjoy every bit of it.

[@Ymam_]

This song's an odd one. I've never before or since listened to something that literally makes you understand the sad things you hold and accept them with a smile or a light pause. Powerful.

[@olegoleg1417]

YourDa d indeed

[@racheladey4075]

His music looks into your soul. It's as if his music understands us

[@kotcherd]

I can't believe it: I just discovered his music and he's gone just a few days ago. What amazing music he left behind.

[@yourit311]

Doesn't matter why we are here. What truly matters is that we are.

[@KampaVlog]

Carl Sagan, thank you for carry us to the stars.

[@blackrockhurler]

It hurts me deeply to comprehend the unfortunate end of such a fantastic creative mind!

[@pk-zx2vb]

have a nice day..all of you lucky people..lucky to be here and have music like this to 🎶 too..THANK YOU master JJ

[@badbiffa2]

he is an amazing artist....found him a few years ago......and recently watched Sicario (great film)...and bought the OST and its his score.....genius.

[@pk-zx2vb]

badbiffa2 scicario was good and masters soundtrack made it epic

[@dasturdly01]

Music to mend your soul, sooth your heart and calm your thoughts. Just one word needed.............Wow!

[@thomassmetham3421]

RIP Jóhann. This is one of the most brilliant pieces. It takes your mind where it needs to go. A unique composer who will be very much missed.

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

How does this not have a million views. I can't believe this was made by a human being. A song so beautiful could only be made by a beautiful person

[@TheHenryPriestman]

RIP...He left an amazing body of work.

[@AdrianWillis]

So sad to hear of his passing :( RIP, this is one of my favorite pieces of music ever!

[@MrRazgriz]

Everything comes to an end, a house, a voyage, a dream a love, all things must have an end, one way or the other, even the things that give us a reason to live. The only way to live peacefully is accepting this, accept that life is but a set of loops and repetitions and that the only things that matters are the one happening now. This is what this song is telling me.

[@johnnychavez5328]

RIP Johann- May you find the Fordlandia that no one else could, You will live longer than any us through your music.

[@Roguephilsopher]

I came here for have my ear's kissed by one of the most beautiful songs ever to be written by man.

[@kdthompson07]

I often look for music to meditate to. This song of the heavens will be the one.

[@RealHumanBean4U]

RIP Jóhann Jóhannsson

[@motulifelikefigures1987]

this is the last i wanna hear before i leave this world! makes me shiver and cry every time- johannsson was much more than just a movie composer- this man was a genius- such a loss.

[@blixensd]

This dude need more recognition!

[@foxpt77]

i´m crying .... beautifull..........

[@hilariomarcos]

Fantastic. Amazing. Beautifull.

[@TheMrPalich]

Masterpiece.

[@TheMrPalich]

Rest in peace, my friend.

[@ronalddoctor443]

Yep, One of the Best. Thank you sir Johann!

[@kristoteles]

Through the greatest speech ever I discovered this fantastic Icelandic tunes by Johan Johansson!!!

[@lawrencedavis5459]

How could you not love this piece?

[@Didgaraya]

This only means you have never in your life encountered words of true beauty, or that you don't know what to search for. Beauty exists in everything. Images, movements, sounds, symbols, words, pretending, camera motions, and so on. Whenever man is gifted inspiration, there divine spirits dwell.

[@priels1240]

Incredibly beautiful

[@willmoore210]

fordlandia ........... fantastic piece by Johann Johannsson.

[@ilkejoukes6437]

So beautiful and strangely peaceful, yet feeling so right....love the masterpieces of JJ- an authentic icelandic sound that covers all colours of emotion and mind...

[@myfabien]

Battle LA used a Jóhann Jóhannsson track in there preview. I looked up all their songs and came across this. Day's later I came across the Ron Paul Edit to the Greatest speech ever made. Only now do I come full circle and see that some one used this track to GSEM.

[@godfather89]

I always searched for that one beautiful epic piece of music, but they were always short, but when I heard this, I said it carried me on forever and ever and well I thinking my search might be done with this song. This is truly a BEAUTIFULLY WONDERFUL PIECE OF MUSIC!

[@Runzolf]

This was one of my favourite pieces of art - not just music, art - of my teenage years. Just found out today, after two years, that he passed out. RIP master you will be missed.

[@2001kraft]

Amazing! 10000000/10!!!!!

[@raburabu2525123]

めちゃいいわ、なんだか泣けてくる。

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

A grander world, a better world, Let's unite of the oncoming hurl. What's the point to follow by machine of brutes, Of metal souls, without love, or forever truth. Are we nothing but tools? A simple discard to exist, Are we just mindless beings, without thought or permit. Are we to die and let greed consume a simple cause? If not, then rise. RISE! For we march without a pause.

[@sweatyskinfolds1385]

Yeah pretty much, human life just as important/useless as any other life. We are no different from animals. Animals are no different than us.

[@SB-vk1my]

Bad translation of the speech from The Great Dictator. GG.

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

Derek Bartlett Heh, yeah, GG

[@iangallagher8658]

Simply amazing!

[@dannygrehan2248]

simply, simply beautiful,takes me far far away.

[@543EMY]

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joanes25]

Bellísima música, creo que si pudiera darle música a ciertos momentos en mi vida lo haría con esta melodía, me reconforta el alma y ayuda a mi espíritu volar por recuerdos del pasado y momentos vividos que han marcado mi existencia... La música lo es todo en el ser humano y ojalá nunca dejen de crear hermosas piezas musicales como esta obra magistral...

[@Adastra14]

i love this guy

[@lupid501]

I've been listening to this song a a couple times a month for 3 years. It always calms me down, and almost makes me cry.

[@Brandon33akahk]

Rarely do I find a piece of music like this one, that I listen to for years, and never get tired of hearing. Something that makes you feel, if anything. And to hear, that the human being who created this isn't with us anymore is an absolute tragedy. Hope he's in a better world than this one.

[@DanielGonzalez214]

This is the song that has truly moved me and brought me to tears. Very well done.

[@SelwynMuse]

Absolutly perfect, amazing.

[@enci84]

Magnifica!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Didgaraya]

On the contrary, it is the primitive that comes out of us. The primordial, archaic. The raw and sophisticated appreciation for the mystery of life. The civilized is when we entrapped ourselves in conventions, the primitive is when we let go, die and rebirth in a moment.

[@JuergenGroezingerMusic]

just too beautiful... and always special moments in my dj sets / or attaching to my own music... . Exctraordinary sound. Wonderful!

[@mctgirl]

Listening to this while I write my paper about Fordlândia. Crazy story about mad Henry Ford and his utopia in the middle of the amazon

[@supertyflash]

So simple, Yet so beautiful. Bravo.

[@vicerudan]

One of the five greatest compositions of all time!!!

[@elsocio666]

Podrías decirme cuáles son las cuatro restantes?

[@PonyVisation]

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! NEW FAVORITE FOUND!!!

[@cookiemonster749]

The single most amazing thing i've ever heard in my life...

[@isabelcristinalugoalvarez4950]

Fantastic piece

[@CessnaAviator317]

Thumbs up if you came from the "Carl Sagan Tribute Series" to listen to this, it still brings tears to my eyes because of it's beauty, also the song too, I was talking about Carl at first, the songs great too. :)

[@HeavenlyAsHell]

I just love this so much, reminds me of some beautiful moments :)

[@ou7ander_607]

All the ambition and dreams Henry Ford had put into his Fordlandia, you hear it all unravel in this

[@vaughan.gittel]

beautifull song..

[@cycloneous]

An awe inspiring piece. Words are beyond any description for this piece; one of the most brilliant gifts from the human mind. If God can speak, this is His voice. I came here after watching "The Greatest Speech Ever Made" and this piece brings me to my knees.

[@Peace7Maker]

Came here after "The Greatest Speech Ever Made - Charlie Chaplin" (and you need to listen to it with song, no the other ones). I was crying.

[@yogeshsinkar6780]

pure bliss ! is it only me or does someone else too gets reminded of "Ode Yo Joy" by this !?

[@helsinki]

my mind has been blown

[@godsmight10]

There is beauty and wisdom in your words sir or madam.

[@SkaterK3]

@Aida82c I just found this song. I was just sitting here ripping through some calculus and then this came on. I was just stunned and stopped working for the duration of the song. Seriously amazing.

[@Peace7Maker]

Seriously, all the music I like come from island since a few months... Olafur Arnalds. Jonsi...

[@ianryan5840]

Gorgeous!

[@harrihiltunen9492]

fantastic music....

[@ZhipFrag]

Amazing; beautiful.

[@ThisAcountsThatOne]

finds it way underneath the layers where the dusty piano sits in your soul. Playing those chords that were forgotten.

[@MrPaulcm1]

I love most of his work! Very thought provoking and moving stuff. :)

[@FulviaCastagna-ts4dn]

È sempre un piacere sentirti ❤😂❤

[@mariomuysensual]

Rest in peace dude

[@xBlueeSkyx]

10 friggin hour version. Imagine that one with simple beats like every cord. Ouh man, heard it for first time and it's already in the list "World's top 10 songs" for me.

[@shrapn0]

Amazing! Thanks so much for putting it up!

[@PassionOfDenmark]

One of the best modern classic/alternative songs!!! For new inspiration search for this new song: "The Inituition - Growth". A new moving song from November 2010!!

[@smithsonben]

the man is a genius !

[@JackDylanMartin]

this is beautiful, inspirational and unique

[@harrihiltunen1244]

best johannsson.....

[@RonanMvideos]

No description necessary, I prefer to think, main thing is we're all here :)

[@Misiek96FanLotnictwa]

Beautiful! :(

[@willmoore210]

the world will catch up with us, in time.

[@LondonCorkSean]

Simply Awesome...Will JJ be coming to Ireland?

[@HLimmen]

1:42 Those riff sounds going lower adds so much depth.

[@PassionOfDenmark]

So magnifique!!!! For new similar inspiration on modern classic music, search for: The Inituition - There is no end. There is no beginning.
