The Caretaker - Everywhere at the end of time - J1 Ending extended

One of the most powerful closers to any album. I say this comes close to topping Stage 6's ending, which is insane. Did you know this used to be a somewhat childlike and innocent bell song before it was used here? Yeah, it's completely transformed here.
All credit to Leyland Kirby (The Caretaker)

[@PAC-0922]

This isn’t a song of joy or peace. Its one of “empty bliss”. I think theres this common phenomenon in the caretaker of an “empty bliss”. I cant describe it, but this fits it perfectly.

[@joshtheman1083]

I'm suprised to see how little this gets talked about among people who've listened to the full album. It quite literally sounds like if sadness itself was a song.

J1 is super underrated. People go on about the shock of G1, the horror of the hell sirens in H1 or the peace of I1, but never this. It conveys a feeling that is really different from the other tracks in the album. The last few minutes are especially beautiful in a deeply saddening way.

[@finden3362]

[@thekaibailey]

I fell asleep listening to Everywhere At The End Of Time on a flight, and woke up (when the flight landed) to the exact moment where this begins. It was surreal because this truly mirrors the trial, and tribulation, of reality. It is a pure moment within chaos.

[@mushroomancer159]

I had to take a sleeping pill to fall asleep to this. I made it all the way through the first 3 stages until stage 4's chaos immediately woke me up

[@null_dan]

i thought no one would talk about this section! i absolutely love it, it's very peaceful, yet like it's tired very calming (until stage 5 hits) those notes always hit so ominously thank you for this

[@BareTuna]

I find it interesting that you can hear this about 10 minutes into G1. The samples and motifs are short and chaotic, but underneath the chaos you can hear these melancholic chimes, which to me signify a sense of hopelessness. When you hear the chimes again in J1, they ring alone, as if the memories from before have dissolved. The conclusion of Stage 4 is powerful and a little bittersweet, and overall I love the album for what it delivers.

[@red.hydrogen]

This truly is the last peaceful moment, in my eyes. At least, the last peaceful moment that lasts any meaningful amount of time

[@olseaweedbeardye8622]

That same hollow note/motif that plays repeatedly in this part reminds me of the haunting single horn sound that repeats in Long Decline is Over. This is a more beautiful version of it though.

[@Waitwha]

This feels like waking up in the middle of the night and realizing you still have 4 hours to chill in your bed before the morning.

I'm not usually the one to fall asleep during daytime, but i tried sleeping while being sick one day and i put this on loop, i slept for an hour, i forgot to turn off an alarm so that woke me up, but i can still say that this has helped me through whatever i was sick with, i think it was a severe cold I have 2 final words to say, thank you.

[@mushroomancer159]

Between the shrivelled paradise of I1 and the absolute chaotic despair of K1, is this nice little uncanny valley of empty bliss. I have never loved a piece of music as much as this project.

I feel like this is a moment where you try to enjoy what you have before the storm hits, it’s a calming peace, but it feels scary, as if it’s ticking away your time

[@_Ghxst]

i think of this as temporary bliss state v2, but more melancholy. is gives a depressing yet calm atmosphere, before it's stripped away from you abruptly as you are dragged into k1. the calm before the storm. i imagine the patient suddenly remembering everything, pointing to their family members and one by one naming each one, giving the lovers a hug, while everyone has tears slowing dragging down their faces. until suddenly the patient forgets everything and starts to lash out at them in a rage- induced confusion. its heartbreaking to listen to, yet also calming.

[@mustartd4819]

This is so Calm and pure, it feels as though it's some sort of unconscious or conscious acceptance of their condition, this is probably one of my favorite parts of the entire Album.

This part of J1, this, this part, this tiny 10 minute segment out of all of the 6 hours of EATEOT, this here, is what truly broke me. There is no amount of words that can describe the dread I feel when listening to this, especially at the dead of night. Thank you for extending this tragic masterpiece.

Something of very cool note, you can hear this during the beginning of stage 4, very faintly in the background of the chaos. It is something that blew me away when re-listening. There is so much hidden in EATEOT, that adds on so much when re-listening.

[@mushroomancer159]

It's so weird how some people find this terrifying while others find it soothing. I tried listening to J1 while high and felt like I was dreaming. Once you listen to it individually, without the whole dementia context both preceding and succeeding it, I just find it soothing and tranquil To me this part of the song feels like a long lost rest, a calm between the storms of hell sirens and stage 5. The last thing you could call a respite before being swept away by the tide

[@aashneel8996]

This extended loop has become the soundtrack to my daily life (specifically when I need to relax, or if I need to find perspective). It is a true atmospheric bliss that captures an ambiance found somewhere between chaos, and clarity. I've listened to Everywhere At The End Of Time at least a dozen times, and the end of J1 is by far my favorite moment on the album. Thank you for this!

[@lotusnaturals1897]

a perfect example of calm before the storm

[@youtubeisevil]

Musicians use fade out's to signify the part of the song looping forever. What the caretaker does is do the same thing with his sections and make the sounds repetetive enough (not a musician but I hear J1 Ending has all the notes in the same pattern/octave), and his ends them abruptly. This is an infinite song that goes on for 7 minutes and ends abruptly. Temporary Bliss State is the same but for 20 minutes and with more changes near the end.

Какая-то мрачная безмятежность, отупляющая пустота. и вдруг на фоне этой сонной туманной пелены пробивается или пытается пробиться отдаленная мелодия. Но она где-то там, далеко, как в другом мире, а туман застилает, спокойно укачивает, качает на волнах покоя. А мелодия то тревожит, то манит, то снова беспокоит, зудит, но безмятежность уже обняла вас, окутала и не отпускает, да вам и не хочется уходить от нее в тревожный пугающий мир. Только забытие и отрешенность
