Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye

[@bairuta08]

From Wikipedia: on Ulrich's next album, Goodbye. In an interview he said: "I have always loved music that has both elements: melancholy and sadness as a description of the current situation you are in, but at the same time a hopeful, utopian element that reminds you of the possibility of a different life."

[@doranselwyn8608]

That explains the feelings I felt when going through my divorce of Clear Day and On My Own and wanting to blast them at my ex.

[@michaelg2502]

In some weird, alternate universe I'd love it if there existed a soundtrack for Sonic CD made by Ulrich. I dunno why I'm thinking that, just the whole past/present/good and bad future versions of each level with their own music thing might lend itself really well there.

[@mistreme8341]

A uniquely German sensibility.

[@frankj545]

It hurts so good.

[@RotlochStudio]

Around this time 8 years ago I remember I found this song and I like it so much that I spent days listening to it. I have one vivid memory of me being in my room, with a door open, sitting in front of my computer and enjoying the song with this particular video while my dad would be somewhere behind me in the living room. I remember his presence and I cannot believe that this is all gone now. 2-3 months later I left my home and my country to seek a new life and in the search of my happiness my dad passed away from cancer on 02.09.2017. This song helps me relive that October evening in my old place with the presence of my father, this time is gone now, as well as my dad, the house we used to rent for 12 years, the car he used to drive, it's all gone. I built everything from 0 and in less than 8 years I have everything I could think of, a good career, good friends, a beautiful wife, and a nice place to live, but sadly he didn't manage to see the successes that he hoped to see from me. He didn't see where I live, what I do, who I married and didn't hear any of my life stories. He left this place with a hope that I will be a man one day who could accomplish 10 times more than he had. He didn't manage to see it happening. This song is the only thing that makes me remember that I had this simple and easy life with little responsibilities, and a valuable family member who was there for me. Don't take things for granted in life, your life could change drastically in months even in weeks or days. Use the time that you have to speak to your mom, visit your family, learn to draw or whatever you had initially planned, and if you have kids spend time with them, tomorrow you'll be the parent that will have to leave them on their own. My dad's last regret in the hospital, the last time I saw him, was that he didn't spend more time with me, going out in parks and being together. Thank you Ulrich for making this beautiful music, my only time traveling machine that I have with me. And I want to thank the algorithm for reminding me about this song, randomly, two days ago, which was a day before his anniversary

[@jano8459]

I agree totally. I discovered him on an ambient station on Pandora. I'm a dental hygienist and my patients are treated to Ulrich on a regular basis when they are in my office. They love him!! Makes dentistry much more pleasant than enduring the top 40 or oldies stations!!

So funny Jan O... that is how I also discovered him many years ago and have been glued to him ever since then. I can never get enough of his music. His music has helped me through some very challenging times in my life. Many of his songs are engrained in my soul... including this one :)

[@QuantumHunter-ew8jq]

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but there is no any other world after death. You bunch of metaphysically-minded idiots xD

[@QuantumHunter-ew8jq]

I have not hardened my heart to the lord, i just do not believe in ''lord'' (god) and never did. You see this is the main difference between you and me, you are a believer and im an atheist. People like you are trying to explain the existance of the world and humanity by a god and religion and firmly believe in god, angels, paradise, hell and all that metaphysical nonsense. And people like me profess a strictly scientific or material approach to explaining the world around them. Did you know that all religion was first created as a way of controlling the minds of people to force them to do what government wants from them? Or did you know that in the entire history of mankind in religious wars and in the name of god was killed more people than because of any other reason? Learn some history my friend, and read some good books like Jack London's iron heel, and then you maybe will understand what religion is, why it was created and who benefits from it.

[@QuantumHunter-ew8jq]

No, science can prove that christianity was created as just a religious superstructure of culture witch develops along with the society and nothing more. im afraid it is you let yourself get brainwashed by religious nonsense my friend. The rejection of scientific knowledge of the world is wrong and even stupid! Any belief is fake, because when you don't know something for sure, or can't explain it, then you just have to believe it if you really want. The same thing with god witch existance you believers cannot prove, but you believe in it just because the holy bible are telling you so! To survive and come to prosperity, mankind will sooner or later have to get rid of religious, recial or any other prejudices.

Ulrich is a freaking genius. I hadn't listened to this song in a year or two and had almost forgotten how incredible it is. The amount of euphoria I experience when the chorus kicks in with its jubilating synths (3:56) is absolutely off the charts! I was so happy listening to this part, I almost couldn't believe it when next thing I know I get smacked in the face by my favourite melody of the entire track (4:50) that I had forgotten as well. Hard to contain my excitement for this beauty. I want to spin it over and over again and dance and sing along. Thank you Ulrich!

Λατρεύω να βλέπω στα σχόλια αυτό το υπέροχο κομμάτι να σημαίνει κάτι ξεχωριστό για τον καθένα, χωρίς να ξεχνιέται με το πέρασμα του χρόνου. Κάθε λίγο πάλι εδώ βρισκόμαστε. Αλλά το γεγονός ότι έχει σκηνές από Intercity, πέρα από το ότι ταιριάζει στον τίτλο του, χτυπάει ακόμα πιο πολύ στις δικές μου αναμνήσεις. Ατέλειωτα ταξίδια, από τη μια άκρη της Ελλάδας στην άλλη Χριστούγεννα, Πάσχα, καλοκαίρι, ατέλειωτη αναμονή, ατέλειωτα χιλιόμετρα. Αν ήταν timelapse της ζωής μου θα με έδειχνε να στριφογυρίζω με κάθε δυνατό τρόπο στο κάθισμα, προσπαθώντας μάταια να πείσω τον εαυτό μου να κοιμηθεί. Κι αν ήμουν τυχερός, στα τελευταία ταξίδια, ένα cd player με τέτοιες κομματάρες και διάρκεια μπαταρίας μια ώρα το πολύ από τις 12 του ταξιδιού. Και μόνο μια έγνοια στον κόσμο, το πτυχίο.

Good question. Listening to Chill and Triphop brought me to Ulrich originally--but my guess is that those are close but not quite his genre. Maybe electronica? I'm guessing here, and thinking for many of us a reason why this guy is so special is that he's sort of created a sub-genre.
