[@3lite768]

I remember one time on Facebook I made fun of her hairstyle and she was telling me that I looked like I belonged on Duck Dynasty.

[@KeeroTashimi]

I love this song even now... I found it 5 or so years ago and still find myself coming back for it again and again........ I will continue to do so... Such a wonderful song.

[@lyokon8]

...is it possible? KZbin's recommendations lead to good music? FINALLY!

[@els1f]

ikr?

[@SebasMederos]

incredible!! it happens to me too

Me too!!!! xD

I too marvel at this idiosyncracy

This is new to you?

[@BasileusOmniworks028]

I love it when a song can move you in deep ways without a single word being necessary.

[@simonluna466]

Technical and super chill. I am a fan.

[@niloyk.choudhury5901]

intro gave me goosebumps,,, beautiful and smooth...

[@rogueguineapig]

Like God is an Astronaut meets Hammock...sick stuff!! Love it!

[@coreyfromaus]

No

[@3m7c]

Like Hammock on meth+speed and became a god but thinks he is an astronaut

[@sssendas]

lolwut

[@spaceboy7413]

Hammock is top tier ambiance.

[@amberoath]

Nope. Hammock combines ambient and postrock elements to create vast soundscapes. This is more like Scale the Summit's ballpark -- controlled technical phrases.

[@chrisinkansas1362]

WOW!! I've never heard anything like this before. Total freggin mind blow!! Amazing, thank you!

[@professorellisaki]

Praise be to the Shred Gods! I have either died & in Shredven or my prayers have answered beyond my own ears basking in the evidence! Listened to so much new or recent artists and bands on KZbin all night long and still at it now I am old school rocker from the 70s and am overjoyed to see the spawns of today rockin' rippin' & shreddin true to their musical parents form and taking their place in musical history as serious abnout their music as the orininals and orchestrators of this genre were!

[@ripwolfe]

Blown away by the skill and artistry!

[@efrazable]

She's not "good, for a girl", she's just really really good.

[@AlexA-oq6ww]

I agree, but it is nice to see a girl who is actually good, seems most good/well known guitarists are guys

[@MartaRzehorz]

nah, seriously, what kind of bs is "good, for a girl"? …

[@HauntingPeace]

Good thing you're there to tell us, otherwise we would have thought that

[@razors98]

The fact the she fucking shreds like she does makes her all the more hot

[@zanthor5422]

The real question is this: Who the hell is saying that she's good for a girl?

[@CyanE777]

Sarah this composition is so amazing. Absolutely stunning work and impeccable playing. Chills.

[@bernieorbust6104]

these clean tones are so refreshing

[@DuskbloomRose]

The gentle melody of the tapping this is incredible

[@HoxtonOneX]

Pure beauty. I can't think of any other words to describe how beautiful this sounds, keep up the amazing work!

[@garetht1236]

I can't stop listening to your songs. It's... comfortably addicting. As weird as that sounds.

[@TheOneVictor]

I can't stop playing this over and over...

[@Tinkeroftime]

Such a perfect song. It's transcending into heavenly vibes. Just wow!

[@v12kid]

Just discovered this. Amazing! It's heavy, melodic, shreddy, djent and for me...relaxing. Nice work gal n guys!

[@sndrsrv4706]

Anyone with 「Music → Color」 synesthesia should really listen to everything Sarah makes. Highly recommend.

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Wowww, that sounds awesome! Can you describe how it looks maybe? I'm really interested in that!

[@Oh_its_Mike]

@@fabianvanderelst9643 Like an acid trip.

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

@@Oh_its_Mike Okay! I've never ever had an acid trip, so it's probably hard for me to fathom :/

[@sw4dn]

I see music as colors/forms since I was a kid, and I thought everyone is the same but I found later it is not

[@se7enBC1]

My synesthesia is numbers to colors. I can't read music but if I could I'd probably see them and likely float away

[@DharmaMidget]

Your compositions keep me coming back. Sublime, serene, intense, immaculate. I've been playing music for 32 of my 44 years on this planet, and you're one of the most amazing musicians I've ever heard.

[@mohammedammar872]

from 5 years ago to now I listen to this every month's. big like 👍

[@ZackMiranda10]

Masterpiece. The melody actually tricks you into feeling like there is a singer. I love it

[@jolyonholloway483]

I seem to have arrived late to this!Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that Sarah is the best guitarist to enter music for a very long time.I love the rapid,jazzy tempo of this instrumental.Not so sure about more recent compositions.She appears to have substituted phenomenal guitar instrumentals for more conventional song structures.

[@JBedroske]

She still plays this kind of stuff live, albeit rarely. Her solo albums have material still very akin to this, though more chill vibes overall imo

[@HighDefinition81695]

One of my favorites!💜

[@fernandocordero293]

I can't stop repeating this...

[@craigers0521]

Sarah I just discovered your youtube channel! You guys were great at the annex a few weeks ago (we talked about devin townsend giving you starbursts :) You are fucking killing it! Congrats!

[@SarahLongfield]

Thanks dude!! That was such a fun show ^_^ and I do remember that conversation haha! thanks again tho \m/

[@Dafoodmaster]

Are you the girl from those zelda video's years ago? You're pretty amazing regardless.

[@kombat1275]

+Sarah Longfield can u make a video on your tattoos

[@prozkaterx]

omg!! major thanks to youtube for the recommendation

[@ajinkyakamat2856]

Dont know why this showed up in my recommended videos...but I'm glad it did. Great song ! Good work Miss Sarah Longfield.

[@TheOneVictor]

This is beautiful. I could listen to this all day... It flows so well.

[@Hackisan]

Sounds awesome!

[@louissemilia3964]

who thumbs downed this song? its amazing! theres so much talent in this song. and its well written. i actually purchased the whole cd and i love it.

[@MushieKat]

Not sure how I got here but I am SO glad I did. Loved this song 😍

[@Born2RiffRock]

I don't understand how I can practice forever and still not touch this style it's so beautiful .. Guitar is engrained in my soul. I hope I can play in heaven I love it so much. I have since 15.

[@Mr.TierraCaliente]

idk how I got here but I'm glad I did

[@rhdband]

This is beautiful!

Do you guys need a bass player?

[@radbradmusicartist]

+CJEUK does animals as leaders need a bass player? the answer is no

[@laloasaelrios7239]

+RadBrad Official Just because something sounds awesome doesn't mean it can't any better.

[@radbradmusicartist]

Lalo Asael Ríos troll successful

[@laloasaelrios7239]

+RadBrad Official Sorry for the bad grammar. I didn't noticed it earlier. I don't understand your last comment tho. :/

[@vZZenn]

+Lalo Asael Ríos +1 I think fretless bass would definitely fit in and contribute to the whole ambient prog sound perfectly. Just look at the bassist from Beyond Creation.

[@Zero_thehero]

I love the way those shiney strings sound. More than I love my rusty spoons!

[@used019]

Beautiful young lady and AMAZINGLY talented. Musically very solid as well. Great job lady and gentlemen!

[@thedemonstealer]

Okay so I really liked the song. I don't normally listen to this genre of metal so I thought I'd just buy this song on itunes but since it's so cheap here in India I just bought the whole album. GOnna spin it today. Good stuff! \m/

[@intronaut8582]

Reminds me of Animals as Leaders, which is not a bad thing.

[@artrock777]

+Intronaut Yeah, they are quite similar.

[@vynyster9488]

I hear more Scale the Summit than Animals as Leaders

[@joppy327]

I'm pretty sure Sarah actually took a personal lesson from Tosin Abasi!!! I love this type of music. Pushing the guitar to its limits and beyond

[@aleksandrsmasharo5628]

Animals as Leaders + If this trees could talk

[@devinphares2369]

Scale the summit I can agree with. Animals as leaders though, they sound nothing like them. Animals as leaders is very digital. lots of overlapping effects and what have you making unnatural guitar tones, and almost robotic. Scale the Summit, and these guys have a very naturally pleasant tone, and very soulful sounding. They sound ZERO alike. They may play like them, but they dont sound like them.

[@spikedart]

First time I heard this I wept real tears. It touched me in good ways.

[@Anonymous__-uo6zq]

I wish there was something on earth I could be even close to this good at. Sarah, you are incredible.

[@e_artz1625]

Wow. I'm just discovering this guys, this is like the best random recommended click ever. You are amazing!!! instant like

[@8JunkMan8]

How to clean channel. This is just stunning, go and get some fretless bass, to fulfill the magic :D

[@ripper9679]

Damn! All of you guys were awesome. Loved the time signatures

[@nataelehecatl5989]

Excelent song, very good Miss Sarah Longfield.

[@raiden3079]

This is fucking beautiful

[@Hallh2008]

Marry me, Sarah :3

[@UlrichFirelordBOM]

I find this to be so boring but y'all are talented and I could never do this. So there's that.

[@UlrichFirelordBOM]

***** Hey, wow, thanks! Well first, I'd like to thank god for giving me the voice to post meaningless comments. Um, ha, this is so crazy. Uh, thank you KZbin for also giving me this opportunity. Without the good 'ol Y-T, this would never happen. Last I would like to thank my keyboard, because without it I wouldn't be able to type. Oh gosh, thank you everyone! Have a nice night!

[@UlrichFirelordBOM]

***** Thank you, thank you. I truly appreciate all the love!

[@lIl-ve4dv]

applause

[@TheMathMog93]

Have to agree. The chord voicings are very stale and emotionless in my opinion, and the drums just feel misplaced.

[@hansolzy]

[@skeeter8518]

Heard "The Salient Voyage - Sarah Longfield" and now I'm addicted to this sound. 10/10 would listen again.

[@rajivpokharel88]

This is what I wanna hear before i go to sleep.....peaceful. Lovely Music!

[@MatEnAlks]

The song is really good overall, there is nice, almost foggy feeling, it all flows like water, but it flows too much, you know what I mean? I like the usage of effects because it clearly has strong influence on the feeling I mentioned before, but it makes your (Sarah) guitar almost unhearable, the sounds feel like one big sound, like it lacks note. Get more actual string in it! Despite that one thing, everything is flawless, I enjoy progressive rock very much, you have right imagination to do this kind of music. Best wishes on tour!

[@drummersanonymous]

So good. 🙌🏼

[@GRAYgauss]

This song is so beautiful. You can just feel the heart and soul pouring out. This and The Brain Dance are my favorite songs.

[@nicholasjames3170]

Amazing... You're something special Sarah.

[@thedionesian511]

okay, who are these people and why haven't I heard of them? I'm so impressed. Thanks for sharing.

[@cheapassgamer7329]

It's not exactly a music to sell out summer venues and get the people to jam.

[@fuguking4709]

it feels like its probably a stylistic choice but it kinda bothers me how disconnected song and video seem due to audio and video not matching up occasionally really great song though

[@drdublchin1718]

Absolutely mesmerizing!

[@jcsolomon6470]

Just wanna tell ya Sarah,and the 2 Steves,Ill Nebbuh fuh get seeing you Guys live at The Juke Joint,in November of 2016,in Mississippi.I want to share,at the time I only knew your Name,and not the other guys.I was at the Merch table talking to The Big Steve,and told him that he Reminded me of Stephen Carpenter of the Defttones.He looked,and was emotional.The other Steve,your drummer for this occasion,just looked Freaked out too,and said both of our names are Steve!Cool!Take care this and Every Holiday Season,and Then Some,Yall!I still listen your Music of that Era all of the Time!Jcs

[@Mister47Gaming]

Sarah, Legitimate question, how would one try out for your bass player position? Been playing for 16 years. I'm a big fan of you guys and it would be an honor to work with a group of talented musicians. Love you guys, keep it up.

[@ArtOfRuin981]

+Ty Carpenter first you gotta spend 5 grand on a Strandberg to even be considered....then you need to cut half your hair...musicianship is nothing, it's all about the image hahahahahah

[@bikinipuncake724]

White female version of Tosin Abasi?

+BikiniPUNCAKE That was racist and mysogenic, you a$$!

[@AlfredCabn]

+Семён Семёнов dude not at all he/ she was just describing

[@patjack5012]

just one foot ! ^^

[@blueskythinking4745]

Not really.. Tosin abasi is much more extreme and dabbles more in jazz and classical music. This is more like scale the summit, kinda

[@Vesaniah4]

+BikiniPUNCAKE everything is a version of everyone else these days, get over it.

[@kayrographics]

This is some awesome piece of music, it helps me focus on work, and the girl sick on the guitar

[@merkkinen9576]

But they are?

[@teomandeveci3931]

check the date lol

[@liamainsworth4405]

Because people who solely stream music, especially on Spotify, are parasites. Use Bandcamp and stream from there, after you buy it, or better still, buy a physical copy. The digital age has ruined music for bands.

[@justinadams3766]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to.

[@brendanjones]

[@tehlolercaust]

That drummer looks bored af.

[@CaalamusTube]

Can you blame him? He's being used as a donkey for their epic descent into the canyon. I respect her playing & odd composition a lot... but they might as well have used a Drum Machine. He's window dressing. I would be bored too...

[@ChadMojito]

They clearly did use a drum machine. What he's doing in the video does not really correspond to what we hear.

[@daltonmeister747]

He also looks a lot like Jacksepticeye
