Hope the drummer reads these comments someday and sees all the love he’s getting .

[@bobsondugnutt7526]

He has a project called Nitemoves, it's awesome

[@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783]

@@bobsondugnutt7526 cool thanks for the heads up, I’ll definitely look into it.

[@tanyajack5891]

He already has all the love 💝

[@MrOhmygoditsben]

The drummer is flawless. He proves that it's all about blending and not trying to show off all of your chops.

[@samueljones8629]

Ben Wells great observation

[@msomma2]

couldnt agree more. #MakingDrumsGreatAgain

[@holmsemclovin7323]

Oh... But he be choppin'. I think it's great. Best part of the song. It's what caught my attention... That certain double roll.

[@brendanjames3871]

Ben Wells he's so damn good. Really is inspiring..

[@bitronicc1887]

As they say, the best drummers are the ones you don't notice. Because if you do, they're either trying too hard to show off, or so off beat that they stick out.

[@makeshiftenemy6975]

this is the sound of healing

[@GeminiWoods]

**Points at Song of Healing from Majora's Mask**

[@tonysproule3408]

Divine healing..

[@TimU2Cool]

I met my bueatiful wife Donna at the park. We went for a walk. We are no more. Appreciate the person you have,before they are gone

[@deezuschrist]

The beginning of this song is what I imagine one would hear waking up in heaven.

[@kennyg03]

Impeccable timing on those drums!

[@unusualterrain4073]

2021... still seamless.

[@louperonard6581]

The drummer is sick...... seamless....it's pretty cool to watch......

[@cascadehopsrule]

dang almost sounds exactly like the album version

[@goonerinSP]

cascadehopsrule sounds better. I think the drums make it better

[@lukesmart6582]

cascadehopsrule

[@SuperArdave]

Yeah I almost always like the studio recording of everything better, but immediately liked this performance better for the drums.

[@shawndaniel7673]

I actually like that he switched the piano/keyboard intro up and added some more notes. Plus that guitar in the middle section sounds soooooo clean

[@rng4612]

I am the 69th like again

[@billdsafdsad]

Man that guitar at 2:53 is just so pure and beautiful

[@mohamedwalid3234]

I'm addicted to that sequence 😫❤️

[@B3NC0N]

Every time i listen to Tycho i think of taking my love and going on a road trip to finding a mountain, and staring at the stars with her until we fall asleep. Drifting off to the quiet beauty the stars have to offer while the cool summer night breeze binds us closer and closer together.

[@ProfessorFatMan]

I kid you not I did that yesterday. The wind was blowing, it was dark, stargazed for a while. I could hear the wind blowing even though I had my headphones all while listening to Tycho's full album on a mountain peak in the desert. Just me, tycho, my headphones and the desert. Best experience I've ever had in my life.

[@boyinthemirror]

Ben Conquest and then I wake up and realize that i do not have a "my love"

[@tmud9097]

Ben Conquest I've gone camping, had Tycho playing during the night from the car in the mountains. It's truly amazing in nature

[@blackjono2000]

Dad?

[@kleyrbjovi6621]

Ben Conquest

[@djproe360]

This song got me through my anxiety attacks

[@bluesilkdesigns]

I can never get tired of their sound, although I think a lot of their stuff sounds the same

[@ethanhargrave1701]

well yeah, each artist has a specific sound. Tycho's is real breathy and airy and bass-heavy (which is dope).

[@bluep0int]

...but I that's ok. I listen to them specifically for this sound so I like that there is a strong familiarity to each song.

[@KOSMIKFEADRECORDS]

You are right, this sound IS versatile and can accommodate some more variations. Everyone here should enjoy Mute Math Too! What tycho does not, mute math does.

[@JWPanimation]

Most underated band ever. Brava

[@TheVaado]

This is so fucking crisp

[@juniordeadlion]

,p

[@MrFlyingmonkeypants]

ty for that word - crisp is tycho is crisp; maybe why another commenter mentions particularly enjoying them in the autumn

[@baiwabsubedi9997]

Man this album has been one of my favorites to listening to while studying for 3 years now. Much love for this album!

[@leomindmusic]

THIS is music

[@MatthewARiley]

One of the greatest songs of all-time, IMO.

[@DylanBarmmer]

How beautiful is this? How pure? How uplifting? Thank you!

[@junetwentythree]

Came to love Tycho having discovered him/them from a great little PS4 video game called Hohokum years ago. I'm still here listening to them. For some reason, I always feel compelled to listen to Tycho in the Fall. Something about their instrumental, falling leaves and changing foliage just come together.

[@myrifoxtrot]

same tycho are a very good august-november band to me

[@jamesthewineguy]

03:49 sounds like Patrick O'Hearn's music from the Album 'Rivers Gonna Rise.' I love the ability of Tycho (all of the musicians) to create such a varied piece - a dreamlike beginning... slow punctuated with an exhilarating pace which seamlessly transitions to a Euphoric and optimistic state.

[@ofthesic0133]

I've listened to tycho during the best times of my relationship and also the worst, this song particularly always strikes me, so many emotions. Im sorry we ended, i miss the old you still.

[@kennyalways]

he or she only exist in your mind. let go and find not another but yourself.

[@LordanJauzon]

wow

[@ryanlikeshiking]

Thats deep

[@screamingXskittles]

I feel the same way. Listening always makes me feel grateful for all the good times that were had, knowing that life can only be lived forward and to just appreciate the fact that I ever felt those types of emotions and experiences with that person. They remind me to stay present while simultaneously making me feel like I wish I could go back and relive those old moments forever.

[@JustAnotherPandaBear]

Years of listening to this and 2:49 to around 3:10 still gives me goosebumps. Tycho is incredible.

[@brandonchan8667]

Discovered this from a rapper that sampled it (kush high by eighty4fly) and been in love with it ever since

[@WordSonable]

they're drummer is amazing !!

[@alisload2772]

The bass was stellar.

[@lowlymusic]

this tune means so much to me and always will.

[@PotatoDonki]

It is amazing, the places this song takes me.

[@OlufemiFilms]

So true man

[@keeganmurrell5638]

These guys must have so much fun playing this, expressive and free. Big ups TYCHO!

[@fractalreptillian6985]

The most insane feeling of deja vu washes over me when I hear this song. It is almost as if I myself wrote this song in my dreams. Subconscious emotion trapped for aeons surges forth in an overwhelmingly paradoxical swell of............... then its gone again and Im forced to play the song again. help me.....where have I heard this song before.

[@hamdelsun68]

In your soul....

[@TheSubpremeState]

Music is the language of heaven

[@lilmogwaii]

It is so very dreamlike and heavenly, I woke up from a religious dream with it humming in my head. It was such a melancholy beautiful feeling.

[@cycledelic44]

Born to drum. Just in awe of this track, thanks Tycho.

[@pokpok8546]

in love with that simple and airy bass line

[@magosiaadamczak6543]

Amaizing ! I want more

[@thomasschwarz5616]

What an amazing masterpiece!

[@dalesfailssagaofasuslord783]

Drummer is elsewhere. Perfection.

[@magdalena8494]

I can't believe that human could create something such perfect and beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@rynobucket]

Just saw Tycho at Red Rocks and it was so great. All the feels!

[@futurevvaves4184]

I've been wanting to see tycho for some time now.

[@PlumbDrumb]

lol. I live about ten minutes from Red Rocks and I didn't know about it. DOH! (Life has been too hectic the past couple of years, which the album has helped with, at least.)

[@Matt463634]

I listened to this on Grado open backed headphones - it took me to another planet.

[@davidlozar4269]

seeing them in May Eugene Oregon!!!!!! cant wait

[@sarahsperlein3001]

I would absolutely love to see these guys live:) they're so amazing!

[@misspurpura]

While I was listenining random playlists I had a flashback as a kid walking and playing in my first park.. I had to remember the name of this cool song..now that I got it I have to say thanks..amazing stuff 😤

[@dmoder3]

+misspurpura That gave me chills. Tycho really does invoke some crazy good feelings.

[@PRL2204]

It never fails that I at least tear up every time I watch this video. It's the perfect combination of sounds, every corner of the sound Spectrum dances together in Perfect Harmony. This recording is truly one of the most remarkable recordings I have ever heard, truly beautiful. Bravo, Tycho.

[@PreparingForSHTF]

I was introduced to this by NPR's Morning Edition.

[@parker3758]

The Crash Reel! Anyone else!? Great film! Also great song.

[@titobalkani8240]

They all compliment each other's playing so well. Great stuff.

[@anuari.ortegagalingo9578]

Me encanta, lo mejor para viajar

[@parkermacioce4648]

Truly beautiful 👌

[@tonysproule3408]

This is an acid trip mixed with Versed on the brain.. so soothing, takes me to the clouds and back..

[@DAgoatvic]

The beginning is flawless, it’s an acid trip. Peaking.

[@fpsfinatic1950]

Keep playing this when you've reached perfection...and keep jammin' on repeat.

[@yellowdemon16vt74]

Their sound brings good memories of Summers past

[@isaacschlossberg5378]

Im going to see them in LA tonight and i can't wait

[@SchokoKekseFTW]

how was it?

[@Cascade0ne]

Loved ‘Awake’ now this. So thankful to hear it now🙏🏾 Thank you!

[@GeminiWoods]

Love the little changes he did on the intro to this. Of all the live performances I've seen of this song this is my favorite version.

[@jaujaujauuuuur]

Timeless dimepiece

[@pwd4l77]

+jaujaujauuuuur Dimeless Timepiece

[@kevinnel7038]

Ive watched this video every month or so for the past 3 years and is still amazing

[@fiascolsp]

[@arizonadream1991]

Crimean's from Russia love TYCHO!!!

[@juliotheepic]

thank you.

[@wernerhaase2632]

Germany loves tycho

[@saw141]

Goosebumps, impeccable performance, thank you for this beautiful creation. In this painful world your wonderful work has brought me respite. I wish I had the knowledge and tools necessary to create beautiful music such as this to try and express my feelings and create something.

[@conormackinnon4622]

That kit sounds so good

[@rodolfowallis1265]

desde Venezuela se te escucha!

[@S4SA93]

Seeing people performing one of my fav tracks of all times just gave me hard goosebumps. Im so happy right now

[@22lilacsky]

This is beyond healing, it opens my mind and heart to daydream and feel what ever I wish to feel. Beautiful

[@TheSyntheticPop]

Would have loved to see most of the drummers fills and lots of the transitions. This video didn't show any of that :/ they need a musician doing the film editing :).

[@emilyxx7]

this just makes me dreamin about something, everytime, idk what and why and its just amazing! this is my favorite "A Walk" before "Awake" and the rest.

[@mjnx8423]

beautiful

[@YoutanPoluo]

I can't believe I missed seeing them live when they came through Louisiana.

[@mahendrakishnani3424]

Brilliantly Co-Ordinated Stuff...Awesome Ambient-Chillwave Sounds

[@naathaneke]

so relaxed, love it.

[@matthewherzog4420]

Just saw these guys in NYC - amazing

[@theflossydog2596]

The synth at the start is a Minimoog, for anyone asking. (I think, anyway. It's definitely one he used on Dive.)

[@bryananthony4633]

TheFlossyDog the synth he's using in the beginning of this video is an access virus indigo

[@melgirl50]

Tycho is AMAZING!

[@sgvcreations]

So serene and peaceful

[@adri-transfor-me]

Esta música te transporta y te eleva, pareciera que te lleva a otro plano. La puedo escuchar mil veces !!

[@Lord_Bones]

hell yea, Tycho is amazing.

[@diegorobayo9013]

This is truly amazing!

[@junbug1love]

LIVE+ GREAT Like The Record!! 👍

[@lilbee307]

Thanks for the share it’s beautiful

[@crlshid]

[@timetravelcaptain]

Love this so much

[@Gobannn]

Masterpiece!

[@christianzimmerman9627]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@erwinvillegas4212]

My favorite track from their "Dive" album! #chillwave #goodvibes

[@roveronika_]

genios!

[@mbp7060]

Just wonderful!

[@nazgularchives4257]

Oliver - Yeenreally

[@samgestier]

I now know to never take music suggestions from you, terrible stain on a great song.

[@danielj5650]

Fuck me

[@Djctheman1]

ngl that’s the first song i heard this from

[@jerriaf]

2:43 What beautiful song from keyboard 😍

[@OddGhoste]

Why does this version sound so much better then the original?

[@craigykart]

It's the drums.

[@benlawrence8344]

Totally the drums.

[@Erc112]

Kevin freaking Suggs!

[@snoopdoggydogg94]

I-R.o.KBBXianrunsonkronic I think it's because of the drums and the bass.

[@PRL2204]

They did some things differently with some added Synth parts. The acoustic drumset definitely made it sound better, and I think the cohesiveness of the band playing all at once, as opposed to recording every part separately, definitely throws in inspiration of the moment from the band members. Tycho is a world class act.

[@doctorauxiliary]

very, very nice!!

[@МехьюСтрэйзенд]

У Тайко волшебные руки и соответствующая музыка!

[@muchobueno2681]

thanks for excluding annoying chit chat from dj before performance

[@maxwellsterling8040]

perfect music for a telephone commercial

[@2busydreaminpr171]

Very dope. Very clean. Good stuff!

[@jpvelasco5767]

Mis respetos para el baterista 👏

[@placebojesus5652]

So good

[@alexillo90]

How did I miss this beautiful song.... Thanks to hohokum game for having this track

[@HandThatFeeds]

perfect.. just perfect

[@rachelmuller5541]

Rad skateboarding, nature music.

[@bluefernlove]

It's so weird, I don't know why, I was expecting a tongue drum in the midst of it all. I love it.

[@holmsemclovin7323]

That drummer is the bomb.
