The Album Leaf - Twentytwo Fourteen

[@catflores311]

Dear god this song holds a special place in my heart. As a fourteen year old I felt as though I had nothing. I was completely alone dealing with the abuse going on at the time in my home. I remember this song emulated hope for me. This song felt like things were going to get better. I get emotional listening to it sometimes because it reminds me of the trauma I experienced but it’s also almost bittersweet. I only remember it helping me remove myself from this earth and where I was. I really hope that I could thank this group for their music. Their other albums and songs helped as well. This song just holds a special place in my heart. I swear it on my life, every time I hear it my chest feels as though it’s caving in and my heart just takes it all in.

[@catflores311]

It’s been years now and it still hurts

[@peg1518]

My story is so similar, Cat. Sending you love wherever you are all these years later from then. I know my trauma made me stronger, and I’m hoping the same for you. If you see this, breathe and smile and hug yourself. Xo!

[@DarkDragonPath]

I don't know you, and we will almost certainly never meet in the world, but know that I'm thankful you are still with us today. Peace friend ❤

[@Miguel.......................]

God loves you my friend❤✝

My teacher in middle school used to play this song in class. I didn't know what it was called and since it has no lyrics I couldn't find it. But today Spotify randomly played it for me! I couldn't believe that I've finally found the song!

[@Globbss]

Did she play this song when someone in class died? For what possible reason should you play this song in a school?

[@nikkihardy1824]

@@Globbss It's a good brain song? I used to lay in a bubble bath and just turn off the lights and close my eyes and work on whatever was going on in my head, or do projects or whatever needed to be done. Why wouldn't you play this in a school? Silence is uncomfortable and this is soothing?

[@OGNetro]

My mother used to homeschool me, and just before my 15th birthday she passed away from breast cancer, I was tosses into highschool in 2010 and this song would help me grieve so much, it drops my walls even today and I just weep relentlessly.

[@TopPB]

Nostalgia, sadness, regret... but peace and comfort too.. a very beautiful and simple song evokes such a complex variety of emotions.

[@ptanyuh]

You're clearly not a musician if you think this song is "simple". Holy fuck, there is so much going on in this song that you don't hear the same thing twice. Not sure what you're listening to......

[@PowuhToSeven]

Check out San Holo

[@mashash9078]

thanks to The OC, (probably the most underated show ever) for all the great songs ❤ miss the 2005's...

[@laurenvv3230]

right? I recently started re-watching The O.C. and geeked out at how often they used TAL in their episodes.

[@dallows3235]

Was great until they went super weird with season 4 and destroyed the entire thing.

[@ryanenoch5228]

When was this song on the o.c what episode I love the o.c is the show why I'm drawing to this song

[@ebonytauriac511]

😢poor marissa

[@Emmanuel-b8m3o]

​@ryanenoch5228 can't remember the episode.. but I think it was season 2 when Kirsten is driving home drunk and calls sandy before she gets in a car,accident

[@erikagabriellemana2454]

I remember listening to this for the first time, 10 years ago, during my first real heartbreak. This song has comforted me during most of those times. It was difficult to articulate how I felt then, to myself and to anyone. This song just spoke to me, even without lyrics. It holds a very special place in my heart, remembering where I came from and where I am now. Thank you for being part of my growth as a person, Album Leaf. Much love 💖✨

[@nanucita]

This song always always always makes me cry

[@andreagriffin1136]

I remember listening to this when my husband and I first started dating. I was so excited for the possibilities but so worried none of it would really happen. It was a bittersweet feeling. This reminds me of the butterflies I used to have. The fear that I was imagining it all and that the relationship would never happen like I was desperately hoping it would.

[@germasaurus]

Saw him play this song last night live in San Francisco. I was in tears 😭 lol

[@cupid5204]

The ending is perfect, I can't stop listening to this

[@ebonytauriac511]

❤❤❤❤❤ I fall in love wh this song every time I can only listen to it once a year bc of the memories it brings bk of heart ache! If anyone out there is listening, be kind to yourself and love yourself ❤

[@localbody3840]

What I love about this song so much was the memory I have on a bus ride In Santa Cruz, CA thru the wooded forest with head phones on.

[@scotthawkins3946]

I've blasted off (dmt) to this track several times and it never disappoints. ❤

[@EESQUIVELOF]

Makes me feel sadness calmly peaceful armory a whole history inside a song!

[@laurenvv3230]

That's the best way to explain this song.

[@timbartschwolfman]

Ernesto Esquivel This is a Song to keep Calm

[@donalonzo63]

[@salvatoreproiettobatturi7966]

The O.C. ♥

[@catherinemurphyoduinn936]

agreed

[@TheSylvianist]

Buralardayim. Yıllar önce de buradaydım. Aynı müzik. Farklı zamanlar. Değişen çok şey. Ben değiştim. En çok da Ben. Nefesim yetmiyor. Nefes alamıyorum. Bunaldım. Geçmiyor. Bu yaşamak denilen boku ben beceremiyorum. Ne gidebiliyorum. Ne kalabiliyorum. Yalnızım ya. Gercekten yapayalnız. Güzel muziksin. Derinlere daldım Hey oradaki. Sen de benim gibi yorum mu okuyorsun. Birisi var mı hislerime tercüman olan diye. Hislerine tercüman olamadım belki ama okuydusan beğen. En azından bir an beni dinleyen biri var derim. Derinlere daldım. Çok derinlere. Iyi olcam biliyorum. Sadece çıkışı bulamıyorum.

[@finch6412]

i was 6 years old when my mother and my sibling and i all moved to a different town with a man who we thought would bring us comfort but in the end left us damaged and hurt. i remember crying and covering my brothers eyes and ears so he wouldn’t see the horrible things the man did to our mother. often times me and my brother would have to hide to avoid getting hurt. my entire life changed one night and i can no longer sleep without fear and memories of what he did. it’s been 9 years now and he is trying to reach out to me, i fear what he might say to me.

[@martinoliver84]

EMDR is supposed to be very good for trauma.

[@ct2xperience749]

I'm getting some kind of inexperienced nostalgia from this.

[@kubochannn]

After today's OC episode. ;A;

[@filipkraus117]

Is it just me or does this sound very much like C418 - Sweden?

[@dragicmagic9870]

I thought the same thing

[@Suki4r]

This is from 2004 and Sweden was released in 2011

[@Squeakity]

This one of the most beautiful, thoughtful instrumental tracks I've ever heard in my life. It's up there with "A Wish" from Secret of Mana (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXe9mWurbLx3Z7c), which is the highest compliment I can give.

[@FitWithRyan_]

Great version of their own song “window”! First time hearing it.

Sorry but the outro to Savant by Oceansize absolutely annihilates this song.
