Max Richter - On The Nature Of Daylight (Entropy)

[@TaylorRussell_TheAnimator]

Minimalism is so hard to nail. Most times you just end up with a song that's too "basic". But in the hands of the right composer, minimalism's strongest quality is that in its simplicity it creates a direct line straight to one's core. No fluff, no bells and whistles, just a series of notes that, through their slight variation and careful repetition, form the closest thing I can liken to "code" for the human psyche. It really taps into something, some people say it's sad, others happy, but really, I think, just like the genre itself, it's simpler than that: It's emotion itself.

[@fallenembers2518]

Beautifully said!

[@Laplacianoide]

Indeed it is dear Taylor, I couldn't agree more. Such a subjective experience, with a lot of emotions involved, minimal but complex in it's message. Sometimes, complex things are a bunch of 'simple' things acting together, and what may see simple in this music is part of a much more complex universe unknow for many of us.

[@sakobjill622]

Conner Skynet I’m not the type of person to give advice, this is actually my first KZbin comment ever, but I can say with confidence that you will see her again. The first death I’ve ever experienced was my great grandma. This was when I was around 8 or 9ish. Up until than I was taught in church about heaven, and never questioned it. But the night I heard she died I was sad and confused. I had this empty feeling that I had lost her and would never see her again. I cried all night just thinking about where she was and why she had to die. It wasn’t until a few years later I had a dream. In this dream I saw her. She looked like I remembered her. She reached out her arm and touched me on my arm and smiled. After she did I woke up crying, but this time I was crying tears of joy. Because for some reason at that point in time I understood people never really leave us. I felt her touch me and I saw her face, something I never thought I would do again. Idk if your religious or not, it doesn’t really matter to me, but even if there is no god, there is an afterlife. This life is too simple for people to just die. They will always live in our hearts, and in someway, and some point, we will see them again. I’m truly sorry for your loss, I can’t even imagine what losing a mother is like, but stay strong, and i will keep you and your family in my prayers. Again I’m very sorry, when you miss her just think that you will one day see her again, and she is in a better place now. I have nothing else to say, sorry for writing so much. Just trying to help

Many interpret or succumb to sadness when hearing this piece. I understand why. But this piece worked wonderfully as my wife progressed to me down the aisle at our wedding. I had never felt so helpless and empowered all at once. Invincible and vulnerable. Like I was moments from death and had taken my first breath of a new life. Complete polarization. Perhaps I felt beauty from my bride before me, but sadness from the foreshadowment of all our memories to come: that evening and night, dancing in the living room, raising children, growing old, living alone after one of us was stolen away. I like this piece because its geniunity. Its realness.

I can hear cars and noise of the city, but it is just an ambient noise, actually kinda relaxing. I'm finishing my beer, working on my computer, listening to music. When this song started playing, a hostel cat climbed onto my lap, like so many times before, but this time, this time it felt like everything was exactly as it is supposed to be. Thereby I wish to all the people listening to this song to find their inner peace. You all deserve that. Edit from July 2023: 1) Wow. I never expected to get so many likes and so many nice words from all of you guys. This became my place to get my faith in humanity restored after having it shattered in other parts of the internet. 2) I wish you again all the best in your life, may you always find a way and inner peace. 3) Couple days ago I got a sad news from the hostel that one of the cats died. So for all the cat lovers around here: wish Gringo all the best in his feline heaven. He has a little shrine with his ashes in the hostel now.

Yet they where just living casualties affected by the crimes of political humanity themselfs looking for refuge! I ask myself these days "What about me? And dear friend, how about you?"

October 2023, I’m currently on Terceira Island, in the middle of the pacific. It’s 2:13PM and I sit at the beach, I stare at the hill I climbed two days ago with the person I came here to meet for the first time. I hear the sound of the waves, I feel the sand on my feet, I was randomly scrolling looking for a music and this found me again. Once it started to play, a small bird landed nearby, the ocean washed my feet and I can just feel everything. It all makes sense, me being here, the waves, the small bell of a bicycle running by, the wind circling my body, the partially cloudy sky. I feel alive again.

I can never listen to this melody now without thinking of Nietzsche, his unhappy but profound life, his philosophy and my own struggles. I often listen to it when I am melancholy, haunted by memories and anxious about the future.

[@daisyl2629]

Love all Richter’s works but this one truly speaks to my soul. That we can all reach a place of peace and acceptance in the midst of this uniquely bittersweet human experience. When my daughter had leukaemia I truly thought I couldn’t survive if she died. There was a moment when I didn’t expect her to last until the next morning. That dark night of my soul saw me battling with my demons to keep holding on. I tried to find a way to survive the night, as dawn broke I knew that if I had to live with the pain of loss, then my choice was to exist in the middle of that pain as a way to honour her life, not escape from it through death. This piece speaks to the struggle of that night for me. The triumph of the human spirit over such adversity is why we exist. I’m glad I made that decision because my daughter is now a woman and planning a family of her own.

This piece can reflect the darkest sorrow of our nightmares, but also the most beautiful joy of life. It’s art itself.

Prayers your way

[@chaoticstrucutre]

God Bless you and keep you. Know that the lord ( Jesus) and his holy spirt can comfort you. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever- 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them... John 14:16-26

Someday, I hope to be able to listen to this piece from beginning to end without breaking down. I'm not sure I've ever made it the whole way through. Achingly beautiful and tragic and hopeful and wistful and nostalgic...

To this day I cannot express how this speaks to the agony that plagues my soul. I cannot help but weep at something so beautiful would ever grace my ears. Even at the end of all things, there is another brighter tomorrow... you just have to open the window and look.. Thank you so much, Max Richter.

This is the most beautiful piece of music ever for me. I weep whenever i hear it. It is just pure.

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. My skin tingles, and I get goosebumps. The joy and sadness I feel with this is overwhelmingly calming. I love to close my eyes and dream of my father, who passed away. I miss him every day.
