We Lost The Sea - Departure Songs Live (Feat. VOX, Sydney Philharmonia Choir)

[@souleater307]

the saddest part about this album is that most the world will die without ever hearing it. and to all us that have listened to it may your drink be salty with your tears of love and sorrow. cheer! 😥😥🍻🍻

[@eleanor1187]

Such a true statement but it’s ok us that have a vast taste in music truly deserve this album

[@souleater307]

@@eleanor1187 it truly is a blessing to have found such great music.

[@tremoxo]

Jezz everything is so sad..duhh You'll die without ever listening to thousands of great songs or albums. So what?!

Guitarist putting his wine glass on the amp is a brave lad

[@amrelazab1495]

In Egypt we say "teslam edekom" it means bless your hands for doing this

[@ShanesSquirrelShack]

God I can't understand how everyone is talking through this. I'd be bawling the entire time.

[@tamaskerekes2186]

I remember when I saw them live in 2017. Everyone was so focused, there was perfect silence until they played their last note on each song. Such a powerful memory

[@davidmorris9719]

People who talk through gigs are the worst. I've had a few gigs ruined by it.

[@horse_dog]

@@davidmorris9719 honestly I feel like it’s fine if it’s a band that’s loud all the time, but since We lost the sea is a dynamic band with quiet sections it’d make me mad too, same thing with bands like Bell Witch

[@kevinlemon3467]

Ran a marathon through a canyon in the Colorado Plateau to this album last week. It was like a religious experience. Thank you.

[@souleater307]

i bet it kept pushing you till the end with amazing waves of energy

[@mattg1094]

SAME! down near castle rock... hit two hours (repeat) and nearly 18 miles- memorable for sure

[@colbyzur4642]

I love listening to the album while mountain biking and one time I crested a pretty nice hill as gallant gentlemen crescendoed and it was surreal

[@opiateaddictionsupport]

Your comment just made my day

[@WhiteNucklin]

This album held my hand through the death of my father.

[@thilofischer3552]

Same here

I don't know when this is going to happen, but I am studying for cinematographer, and I am most definitely going to make Films out of these songs. It's fucking art. Thank you so Much for excisting.

[@lucadullaart6118]

I know right? I'm not a cinematographer or anything like that but whenever I listen to this music all I can think is: somebody should make a movie solely based on this music, damn.

[@fredericferland2722]

Im seriously waiting for your movies. These songs are incredible, and the story behind them, especially A Gallant Gentleman, are truly touching Im looking forward to your work mannnn :)))

[@rumaniandude]

Please do that Thomas - and share them here!

[@vzpon.]

There are very touching stories behind these songs. You really shouldn't give up on this if it's really what you want!

[@israaal-kamali3086]

Thomas Larmit same!! They fit perfectly for a film!

[@AxlMihai]

I'm not crying, you are crying. This record, no matter if live or studio, is the best record I've ever heard. Can't get enough of it. You are great, guys.

[@facundogonzalez7514]

One of the best album I ever heard in my entire life honestly

[@dyingserenade]

Don't know how many times i cried with this album... Greetings from iran, a place at the end of the world 💔❤️‍🩹

[@drenrin2120]

This album cemented my love for this genre.

[@mikekelly7862]

I've listened to this set so much that when I go to listen to any other version of Challenger, I'm surprised when I don't hear "dehydration" at 47:45... sounds absolutely stunning with the choir.

[@pestKater]

Guys.. I really heard alot of Post-Rock-Releases. But the Departure Songs is - studio and live - the most beautiful and most intense record on the whole planet. Thank you for creating this piece of pure awesomeness. I hope to see you in Europe someday.

[@RNnSan49]

I hate that i needed to wait 26 years to discover this brilliant track .. it changes a lot .. thank you. We appreciate this talent. Stay safe 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@importedtv]

Please let 2021 be the year for these guys. Sold out shows all over the world.

[@MichaelSullivanPhoto1985]

I've been in love with this album since the first time I heard it. I wish I could have seen this show. Please come to the US and rock New York or Philadelphia with this amazing piece of artistry.

[@jacobpalmer1930]

This album cured my depression but made it 100 times worse at the same time. It's one of the best albums I've ever heard.

[@souleater307]

this album makes you feel those thoughts youve been hiding from yourself. it lets you take those thought out in a safe environment and tame them into being submissive only until the music calls upon it again try listening to we lost the seas album :the quietest place on earth . after this one. they go perfect into each other with these powerful lyrics that eat your heart like a starving beast

[@vatsalshah4582]

souleater307 oh,agreed. The trip to melancholia is real and like none other. Madness with the guitar wailing, almost like catharsis to your fucked up mood.

[@restlesstattooer5089]

I play it twice every time cause it didn’t hurt enough. Or maybe it did in the perfect cathartic way

[@eleanor1187]

It’s sad but sometimes for the best for us true fans to truly enjoy these masterpieces

[@fmobus]

absolute masterpiece. Saw their concert twice in their recent Europe tour, and would gladly go again

[@GameRyuzaki]

You can really see how passionate this guys are for what they are doing.

[@Leo-v1t1t]

I went to one of their concerts about a year ago in Mainz, Germany, and it was indescribably beautiful. Someone else in this section described it "like i was high. it was like a trance" and I could not agree more. Their music and this album particularly is absolutely incredible art on its own, but experiencing it live, it truly puts you in another state of mind. Rarely have I ever had a piece of art resonate with my own emotions so fiercely as this has. Thank you, truly!

[@RQH781]

This album cured my depression and made it 100 times better Seriously

[@azzaaghtoth]

Possibly the best I ' ve heard in post rock. Thank you guys for my thoughts and tears. Respect from Russia

Just keep repeating what you guys did here and you'll be alright; this is a masterpiece

Another great modern rock band. Reminds me of This Will Destroy You & Explosions in the Sky - two other excellent bands to check out.

[@RQH781]

This music. I love it.

[@TheOnlyNate115]

the way they light the choir in that "shallow waters" light blue gives off a very sinister siren'y vibe, adding to the haunting theme of the set/album

True skill to be able to replicate the album that effortlessly

This album holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for creating such an emotional and powerful bunch of songs.

[@NeutralGravity]

The ending to Challenger part 1 is so epic, makes me want to rip my face off.

[@lukaskramer6079]

yes exactly those last eight minutes are just nuts, could listen to them over and over again

[@NeutralGravity]

I got this album off Amazon, been listening to the entire album on repeat. Not only the songs are great, but they have great meanings.

[@lukaskramer6079]

yeah I've read all the stories to the songs.. Legendary album

to me, this is the 2nd best album aver behind dark side. Fuckin love it, everyday of the month.

[@JohnMoore-h9j]

I listen to a lot of post-rock, ever since I had an epiphany listening to GYBE F# many years ago. I'm embarrassed to say I only heard WLTS a few months ago. And I'm Australian. This album is up there with the best post-rock albums ever. It's a work of art from end to finish which is very unusual even for Mogwai. Why don't more people know these guys?

[@TrustYouMe]

Action Bronson embodies the essence of versatility

[@souleater307]

he doesnt do enough dabs to play like these dudes.

[@alexpop854]

Can't wait for the new album

[@RyennMusic]

I try to express what they transmit to me through music knowing that little by little I am evolving sorry for my bad English but I try to leave something that they came to transmit to me at the time in time of depression where I used to cry knowing that there would be a light at the end of that I walk from darkness to stand up and be able to continue thanks for reaching out to me with your music and just that thanks really greetings from Peru att: a person who tries to transmit his emotions through music

Soon to get the live album (Live @ Dunk!Fest) recorded in 2017 in the mail. The fact that it is in shipping to me right now already puts a smile on my face, I love the vibe an energery, and deep 'message/meaning' it has (and/or can be projected onto it).

I am kinda sad that I did not see you in Prague when u have been there, hopefully I will make it up to you, when you will be anywhere near prague once again. :)

[@kyleenglot9184]

Please come to Canada. Best yet to Vancouver if possible... I need to experience this for myself!!

[@nikoff008]

You guys are absolutely amazing!!!! i discovered this vid a week ago when you tube randomly played it on autoplay. i've watched it in full 3 times now. the first time i saw and heard WLTS was at the Apocalypitca concert! i feel so lucky to have seen you guys live! even tho i didn't know any of the songs i found the gig mesmerising!!!! I was hooked by the time bass boomed in in bogatyri. I missed Northcote because we already had a holiday to 12 Apostles planned but i played WLTS all weekend and now i'm so very happy to say that when i hear Challenger part 1 it reminds me of the 12 apostles and running all over the Loch Ard Gorge in wind and rain and sleet. A time i will never forget. PS the last 8mins of Challenger part 1 just about makes my head explode everytime i hear it. Insane!!!!!

[@carolusQuintus]

I hope someday you could come to México

[@Craiggers-w9r]

The zenith and nadir of humanity. The zenith being the beauty, emotion and creativity of this amazing band/album. The nadir being each moron in the audience who dares speak.

[@Kongjie57]

Thank you random redditor, pasted here for your conveniance Track 1-A gallant gentleman It pays homage to Lawrence Oates, a captain and member of the Robert Falcon Scott South Pole Expedition, which tried to be the first humans in history to reach that point of the world. They found out that another team had achieved this before, leaving them no choice but to return to their base in this bleak land. The sound feels cold, but the guitars start to get louder and heavier followed by a vocal choir, representing the journey of these men to return; even when facing death or severe injuries. Captain Lawrence Oates, the most afflicted men of the crew (he developed gangrene due to frostbite), decided to go against the words of his fellow members and left the resting tent. As his life disappears in the middle of the snow, so is the intensity of the song, until you can only hear the vocal choir. Track 2-bogatyri Valeri Bezpalov, Alexie Ananenko and Boris Baranov, known as the “suicide squad” who volunteered to sacrifice their life to open the sluice gates of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to release the radiated water found on the bubbler pools that could lead to another explosion if mixed with materials that were found on that part of the plant, causing another disaster. With only diving suits and a lamp, they descended into the gates. This song starts to build up its impending doom, leaving room for the guitars and drums to crescent in their sound as the only source of light they had was lost in the process. It crushes you with a darkened, almost claustrophobic sound, only to end with fading guitars that represent their life which were reduced to mere days. Track 3-the last dive of David Shaw You might wonder what is the sound clip found on the first minutes of “The Last Dive of David Shaw”, and the answer is: A video available on KZbin which has the same name of the song, and it’s exactly what it says. These are the last moments of Australian diver David John Shaw, trying to rescue the body of fellow diver Deon Dreyer, who attempted to break the diving record of almost 250 meters (feat which Shaw accomplished). As the sound clip ends, and the guitars start to once again kick in, followed by drums and then cellos, you descend with David as the song starts to get colder and darker. Then a few moments of tranquility are found in this song (which I think they match the moment in which Shaw finds the body and starts the rescue), only to be assaulted with a breathtaking blast of sound that builds and builds for minutes representing the last minutes of this diver who attempted to rescue a fellow comrade that tried to do the same thing that he did, failing in the process ten years ago. (If you watch the video, he got stuck while trying to pull the body out of a cave). A few days later, both bodies were found on the surface. Track 4-challenger part 1-Flight one of the worst tragedies of the American space program: the Challenger disaster, which happened in 1986, took the life of 7 people (6 astronauts and Christa McAuliffe, a teacher) as the space shuttle disintegrated into air, leaving all of its watchers in a shock of grief and despair. Track 5-challenger part 2-A swan song This is the final eulogy to these men, and to everyone who gave their life for different reasons. You hear the guitars, the bass, keys, cymbals and drums but there is no tragedy to be found here, only beautiful melodies and a powerful crescendo. You’ve followed this journey for almost 58 minutes to fall back into reality and realize that this is humanity at its purest and honest time. As Ronald Reagan addresses the nation after the Challenger disaster, you’re left with this message: “we will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and “slipped the surly bonds of earth” to “touch the face of God.”

[@tjitse3916]

Discovered the band by this album a while ago. Music means everything to me in life, and this album struck a great chord in my soul. The fact I cannot find the album on vinyl (except for some idiot on Discogs who ask A LOT for it) really bugs me. Recently I have openend up to letter my inner creativity out more (i've held myself back for years, long story, party healthproblems), and this music really helps me now in expressing myself in poetry and theatrical ideas (i am writing a script). So above all, thank you guys!

[@marklostthesea]

Tjitse Wolf jump the translation loss webstore right now for a vinyl copy

[@tjitse3916]

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Including the shipping this thing will still cost me quite some (i have very low income, and including shipping this is near €50) but this music can move me so good, it kept me going in bad times (like since last November, when I had brainsurgery after years of neurological problems).

[@marklostthesea]

Tjitse Wolf glad to help!

[@nikoff008]

How did you go? Did you get them? i have been there! i now have the entire collection on vinyl. wasn't easy. did you try we lost the sea on bandcamp? that's where i picked up Crimea. I like you, looked on discogs. i paid a small fortune for Departure songs, but as my most played record i do not regret it a single day.

[@tjitse3916]

I eventually ordered it via Translation Loss, it should arrive next month, and I am bloody happy I found it there. The rest of their albums will probably come later on, I unfortunatly have to live on a comparetively little income, but Departure Songs was a no-brainer for me. I kept going in life because of this album, the last year cost me a bit of my brain (litteraly), but gained me so much more musical love, i wouldn't change it.

[@jhyoon9174]

Beautiful.

I just discovered you guys & this album. Im blown away. Thank you for creating such amazing music! I had read about David Shaw & although diving scares me to death, found the story of his last dive to be so incredible. Finding your song about it (the rest of your music) is equally as incredible to me. Thank you again
