Explosions In The Sky: The Only Moment We Were Alone | NPR Music Front Row

[@MrOhman86]

If you EVER HAVE a chance to see them live. *GO* it was so great!

[@probilliards101]

They're amazing! I saw them on this tour in 2016 and one of the best concerts ever. They were great in their 2019 tour as well.

Saw them yesterday and here I am trying to keep the feelings :’)

[@lasondrahopper6620]

I'll be seeing them at the end of the month 🥺

[@snehaljain7893]

I saw them live yesterday, they're so good.

[@Gary-e2e]

Next week,can’t wait!

[@mmm23459-i]

its impossible not to cry for this song's perfection.

[@DarkForce413]

I can't often get through this song without a heavy emotional response.

[@harrisonwestley7537]

pro trick : watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@henrikarlo7826]

@Harrison Westley yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D

[@vivaanignacio9363]

@Harrison Westley definitely, I've been using flixzone for since november myself =)

[@lasondrahopper6620]

Im 26 and never been married, but I've always dreamed of this being my wedding song. ❤️

[@mikeyellis4702]

It is definitely worthy of a wedding song imo 💜

[@Antwuan2442]

same here, always dreamt of it being my wedding song.. I still do

[@_paradr0id]

I've had similar thoughts but it's difficult to have EITS win out over SIgur Ros. the obvious choice is to not get married so I don't need to worry about it. haha.

[@AlexDerlikh]

Be my wife

[@lasondrahopper6620]

@@_paradr0id Agreed 😂

[@marccrowell9598]

Saw them at the Salt Shed on Monday. This was the last song. Earlier that day I arrived at my cousin's funeral before anyone else. I was able to spend a moment with her before everyone else showed up. It was the most meaningful concert of my life and the first time I every cried tears of joy due to music. So much love.

[@Corban_Solutions]

Essentially, 'The only moment you were alone'. Take care. ❤

this songs no needs words

[@diannh2894]

To this song and band who got me thru life..school..break ups..etc. I love you!

[@CaptainHowdy915]

There are two moments in this song that give me chills. One is the sequence beginning at 5:22 and the drop at 7:00; though it sounds a lot better on the studio version of the song. Had the pleasure to see these guys live, front row and this was the last song in their set. It was amazing.

[@DhsjwuDbruanrbdhdbe]

The most spectacular live performance I have ever seen was these guys.

[@radicalbyte]

Same here, and despite booking tickets 4 times I've only seen them once. My favorite band, been so unlucky. Hopefully they'll get back to touring again once the pandemic is over, can take my kids along too.

[@ck675]

@@radicalbyte in the same boat, been my favorite band for over a decade and finally got tickets to a show near me right when covid kicked off and cancelled. I almost cried. I hope they return soon but I understand

[@archievora6049]

Crying out loud by just looking at them. So passionate and deep

[@rodrigoflores2690]

Explosions is just a feeling. I can break down and cry sometimes when I listen to them just because of where I'm transported. Eternally grateful for their music

[@_paradr0id]

I will forever love the way they end this so tightly as a band. Just build, build, build, STOP.

[@cgrebe24]

100%. One of a very few 12 minute songs that grabs you the whole time and won’t let go until the very very very end. It’s a masterpiece!

[@mewing23]

They’re the greatest

[@victory_jade]

This is one of the few songs that can make me cry.

[@TheMagicKingOlayemi]

It proves that you're not only human, but one of superior tastes.

[@3-piece129]

Is one of the other songs the national anthem sung by Fergie?

[@victory_jade]

@@3-piece129 Why, is that your favorite? And I've never heard Fergie sing the national anthem. What a weird question...

[@3-piece129]

@@victory_jade oh no, she ruined it. It made me cry... literally. It's really cringeworthy. Look it up. It's just a different type of crying. It was painful. I was just messing with you...😋 The music from Explosions in the Sky is awesome and invokes a different type of tear. Take care! 🙂

[@OscarVersa8319]

Memorial did the same

[@alice104]

This is my favorite song of all time. Absolute perfection.

[@ricardocunha5590]

Can’t describe by words what this song means to me... so lovely, melodic and powerful at same time: very intense, overwhelming my feelings. Thanks EITS 🙌❤️

[@eslopeor]

This great musicians don't just make music, they make love to it and with it. Can't wait to see them tonight in BCN! MUCH LOVE. xx

I was there in second row. Incredible :’)

[@borjadiaz7884]

Menudo show que nos regalaron!!!!

[@aw230012]

One of the best songs ever written. Perfect composition.

[@wsvta2]

Such a powerful song, the earth is.... is such a fantastic record.

[@leifdehio2151]

One of my favorite EITS songs - the last part is divine!

[@deftonesbored02]

Crazy end!!! What a song!

[@untruereviewer]

saw them in Utrecht a few days ago, it was a dream come true. Emotional rollercoaster in a good way 🥰

[@MarcoAntociDAgostino]

Since 2003... I Adore!

[@lucarovini7697]

This is my definition of life

[@kevinlima3840]

I don't know. I think that Post Rock is a music genre so beautiful. Is like if transformer all what we feel in something epic. Isn't import what you see, what you read, all is a form of view, of perception of reality through our mind. The words isn't enough to translate the real feeling about small and great things of life, but Post Rock songs, in special, EITS songs, can translate a kind of feeling so beautiful and so powerful of things that isn't a specific, but exist inside of us that make simple things and great things be so deep. I don't know, words isn't enough to express how I feel about that songs. Paraphrasing a brazilian song: "Em que o poema mais lírico Se mostre a coisa mais lógica" (In which the most lyrical poem proves to be the most logical thing); In wich the most abstract song proves to be the most logical feeling.

[@cliffjumper81]

The way the lights go out at the end is epic.

[@AliHaider-nq6rp]

One of the best band ever 😍

[@tbhv]

@4:53 I love how you can spot a super pulsar from a mile off

[@georgestan7060]

You can be happy or sad when you listen to this. Or you can be both. It does not tell you what to feel, there are no words or instrunctions

[@georgestan7060]

Later edit. I’ve been listening to this song for the last 10 years and every time it takes me to different places

[@yallik154]

This version is spectacular.

[@rizkiutama]

Exceptional performance !!! Incredible

[@tintedsky]

What took me so long to discover Eits? Their music digs deep into my emotional realm ❤ Thank u

[@ts9046]

ありがとう😊

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"The only moment we were alone we were apart. Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't meant to be. Love may be unrequited but it will never be unrequired. We'll grow towards the sun from the soil and towards the soil from the sun. The moon will fall and we will spin. Over and over, beginning an end." ,dan'

[@drcvagos-iu]

I enjoy this music, it's just so relaxing, dreaming, and touching,

[@TH3SLEEPING]

I imagine this is what music in Heaven will sound like

[@jonathanmendoza7414]

The best from minute 6:09

[@pumathurman]

bands really like it when you yell during dramatic silences

[@crispincuttino8157]

Can we get the camera off the same guy and pan over to the guy absolutely ripping those high pitch notes

[@rmdhasg]

Love it !

[@rafaelb.333]

Chills

[@dawntreader1123]

Why do people feel the need to scream in every moment of near silence?

[@zarkhonx]

Attention seeker

[@sdqsdq6274]

because its building up in their bodies , it needed to be let out ! its that good ,lol

[@yunyunpilled]

Their scared of the raw emotion

[@3-piece129]

They want to pretend that they're cool and that they feel the music.

[@Naxuffy]

I HATE THEM!! HAHAH

[@chrisholbrooks412]

The bass player always dreamed of being in Slayer.

[@sdqsdq6274]

the lighting just doesnt express the music ,just close my eyes

7 people thumbed down that annoying guy at 3:33 .

[@j.l.starling8934]

The audience needs to respect the lower dynamic sections and shut up

[@invisible9996]

Fuckin end!!!

[@meloapa]

There's always that guy who needs to shout something at a quiet moment in the song. No one likes you. Don't be that guy.
