If an existential crisis was in audio form this is probably what it would sound like.

[@rogueascendant6611]

Ah yes, another existential crisis unto my brain. The daily dose is beyond me.

[@FangsInMyLeg]

yeah

[@goprev9715]

Strange, I get awe inspired and quite hopeful with this music. Particularly with the first 50 seconds. It reminds me of Ennio Morricone - Ecstasy of gold.

[@whippybroom771]

I literally has one after I watched it.

[@Ceaseless_Thoughts]

also see "the egg" and "optimistic nihilism" for more existential dread

[@atomsorcerer8356]

Someone REALLY needs to analyze the Kurzgesagt soundtrack and look for all the leitmotifs, because the amount of recognizable melodies in Epic Mountain’s music is honestly astonishing. SO much love and care put into the music alone

[@TheMagicat]

This one particularly had a lot of them

[@Fae-Fey]

yeah, i noticed a lot of motifs while watching the video and had to rewind couple of times to confirm what i heard

[@astrellas5007]

Yeah the "Time" one is the most recognizable IMO. Love that they make each piece unique while using all those leitmotifs

[@MewPurPur]

@@TheMagicat Where? I did not catch a single one of them.

[@Greenpixel16]

Absolutely

[@hanzolo8068]

It sounds really epic but I feel like you would have an existencial crisis in the middle of the studying session (late reply ik)

[@BurpAtTheMoon]

The first minute-and-half has symbols from another chilling song: The ecstasy of Gold, by Ennio Morricone. And it fits, discovering the galaxy is as exciting as finding gold. :)

[@ninaadagashe6343]

The Ecstasy of Gold is gold

[@voornaamachternaam9821]

Haha I was thinking the same thing

[@memati7199]

The vocalizing is so different , this one is so sad and blue 😔 But Tuco’s run in the cemetery is enthusiastic 🤪 🏃🏻 ✋🏻

[@OverDramaticToast]

the beginning and 8:00 literally moved me to tears, what a hauntingly beautiful piece.

Yeah, the limits of humanity might be after a few hundred light years, but EMM's music will extend to all corners of the universe, filling up even the quiet and empty vacuums of space. Props to y'all!

[@tespheract]

I seriously love how you make a whole new original theme yet it contains so many hints from past soundtracks ; black holes 2, big bang, limits of humanity, just to name a few... And that ambience. So good ! It really has that vibe...

[@michaelc.5809]

I think I heard neutron stars too

[@BigBread-1]

This music is pure beauty. It drifts me from all of my problems,noise and work into a world of imagination. When I put this music and look out the window into the night sky I remember my childhood,the parties I went to and all of the bad and the good memories I have. This doesn't make me scared that we are trapped in a limited bubble of the universe. It makes me happy to know that we have millions of light years of expanding our civilization

[@parthrao]

How do you guys nail soundtrack everytime this one is also fantastic as always ❤️

[@Epicmountainmusic]

Thank you so much! Glad you like it!

[@AlexIdk.]

When it starts from 0:56 its like the a big build-up for the final scene in a movie, and the instruments like that synth are just so well used. In other words another good song to listen and wander while in car, doing homework or programming, thanks once again!

[@Electroblade360]

I love how when they mention the big bang in the video, there's a big bang soundtrack leitmotif at 1:56. Nice touch!

[@greekyogurt9997]

Feels like a final stand, like a protagonist overcoming their darkest hour, and fighting when they are alone, and there courage inspires others to help fight off an seemingly unstoppable evil, and winning. Definitely climax worthy

[@owenbarnes8814]

I love how this has hints of spaghetti western music done in a futuristic style, it feels very accurate to the theme of frontiers in space.

[@on-line10]

I still can't believe that humanity's limits are so low. Everyone thought that humans wouldn'tbe able to fly until someone invented the plane. I think we will find a way to break the rules and bring changes

[@Airdel]

well, our only way to break our current limits are learning how to bend and use the laws of the universe at our will, then, we will be able to ask and answer the greatest of questions

[@sayounsang]

@@Airdel That's how the Wright brothers did it. Breaking the very laws of the universe as we knew it at the time, and then 66 years later, we landed on the moon. We're a narcissistic species. Sometimes we aren't.

The "Big Bang" part gives me goosebumps. I really like this part. Kurzgesagt should really redo the Big Bang Theory video with an updated version of the music as well.

[@markfan7065]

Listening to this before watching the video, I swear Kurzgesagt owns half of their success to you guys.

[@xeanderman6688]

8:00, that part. It just hits.. different. Like.. we know all this stuff about the Universe, yet we'll barely be able to reach it all and see it ourselfs. That we are stuck in such a small place compared to the rest of it. But even in our small pocket, we will be able to do great things in a few thousand years

The best parts of the song are at 3:41 and 5:53 but let’s be honest this entire song is a masterpiece, I’d love to know if any other artists or songs by EpicMountain like this song exist. Also if anyone knows the specific genre this would be that’d be awesome.

A great callback to the tune heard from "Big Bang" (2014) at 1:56

[@applehrishab8818]

I cannot fathom how this amazing music doesn’t receive more attention

[@S3SSioN_Solaris]

The music tells the story which we don't want to believe. Maybe someday we'll discover a way to travel faster than conceivably possible, like in the Mass Effect universe or quite simply discover a method of travel left over from alien civilizations that once existed. As long as there's life, there's hope.

[@edwardzita3479]

Yeah, or a story that we are too late even with rule breakers. The universe has begun to die now.

[@jakedeutscher]

[@nuassul]

El deseo de alcanzar lo inalcanzable es lo que me transmite esta melodía 😌

[@Apollo_Yeet]

This makes me sad. To know that one day we will be alone with no star to give us hope is absolutely terrifying, I don’t want the future to be as grim as that. Stuck in a bubble with no way out, horrifying.

[@greekyogurt9997]

The world is a mess, We made it that way. We take things selfishly. We have done terrible things. We beg the universe for a punishment. Yet when we look to the stars, We see the universe smiling back at us, As it embraces us we here it say, Don't you remember, you've done good things too, you realized your mistakes, You've started to fix them, you're made great achievements, you've fought injustice, and helped others. I'm not mad, For everyone makes mistakes. Be hopeful, for you can fix things. Don't be sad, for you have done well, and I am proud. I wrote this poem

[@KevinGhidor_uh]

This really sounds like an existential crisis 1:12 Sounds like you're continuously calling into nothingness though still get an answer that slightly mimics what you say. It's like you're trying to find your lost self, getting answers whilst still not knowing who you are.
