I return to this comment every now and then. I live in front of the atlantic ocean. As thebclouds rise above the ocean and get the sunset pinkiah color, i listen to this wonserful piece of art, it takes me far away, to a magic world, beyond the clouds.

"You can tell that it's Yoko Kanno. I'm not sure how to explain it, but if you're a big fan of her, you just know." Yep :)

[@noneedtoknowme]

foreeaal. Like in any animation, you can distinguish between either Kanno or Sawano. I don't know how either.

[@yanshero42]

@@noneedtoknowme I believe in Sawano's case it's a whole lot easier. Don't get me wrong, since I first heard his music in Blue Exorcist, I have been one of his biggest fans, but he has a lot of trademark elements that always make it clear that it's him (whether it's the use of female vocals for his more epic songs, the way he employs a piano in his sadder more quiet pieces or in general how he structures his osts for epic moments so that the sound fades out for a short moment of silence to be succeeded by loud solo vocals and following accompaniment.) His last few soundtracks have predominantly featured big orchestral epics with swelling strings and powering drum beats, synths etc. Therefore I do find his recent stuff is much easier to recognize than his earlier work.

[@noneedtoknowme]

skimven4242564 oh yeah definitely. The way he blows you away with his music is what makes me love the anime scenes so much more even if the plot sucks 😂

[@yanshero42]

@@noneedtoknowme Yesss! You're right about that! I remember anituber Demolition D+ once made this video about Aldnoah Zero and attributed the hype moments to Sawano's music as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWrLaJeporRmbsU Sawano really does elevate the series he's a part of!

[@juliabarrosmachado47]

animefolyfe yes also Joe Hisaishi every time I listen to one of his songs I know it’s him

[@RMoribayashi]

It's from Nobunaga's Ambition - Legend of the Supreme Ruler [ Nobunaga no Yabou - Haōden 信長の野望　覇王伝] The Nobunaga games have some of her best early work.

[@Ψυχήμίασμα]

Signature Kanno, a perfect blend of jazz, impressionism and romanticism, with a sprinkling of the experimental and ethnic.

[@lanchanoinguyen2914]

Harry Potter in this song,the jazz was interfering with flamenco and smooth music.

[@johnd2058]

What genres hasn't she done? More importantly, is there any she couldn't do if she put her hand to it? I think not.

[@RegicideKo9]

It's amazing how even the breaths taken during it sound like they should be there, they add to the whole beauty of it. It's incredible.

[@as12df12]

Pretty sure part of it is the unique way she employs jazz chords to any kind of music (very evident in this track). The way she does it gives a certain unmistakable warmth to all her pieces.

[@Reynevan100]

Years and years and years... Always come back to this. Always so... beyond. Beyond the clouds ;)

[@buuga610]

As a NieR fan you have great taste in music.

[@kristinjohnson05]

I cant express how relaxing this piece of music is. I just wish is was raining where I am now so I can really enjoy this.... I love her music ..just like Nujabes and Dj Okawari

[@chadfranklin47]

2 other great artists

[@MegumiHayashida]

What is said in the description box, i feel it 200%.

[@neverrl3379]

yes she likes to jump

[@deleteme924]

The way she makes jazz progressions / melodies seem fitting in all kinds of music is unique... although I've been trying to do the same even before hearing her music, so maybe I'll get there one day.

[@lanchanoinguyen2914]

Mets we can talk to develop it.my email: [e-mail]

BGMだけでこんなに人を魅了するなんて凄いわ

[@OyasumiBlerd]

Yoko Kanno can give the blues to any instrument. How? She just does it

[@christhovhannisyan2074]

Thank you very much dear friend

[@Takato2527]

gotta love how Yoko Kanno-san can turn a simple OST into a super emotional track (although it doesn't mean to be that way, right off the bat! XD). I recognized her work since I listened to Card Captor Sakura OST and got the exact same feeling. Man, she sure is a living legend.

[@ClemantineEvapore]

her legend begun already, way back then...

[@Jedisupersonic7]

Yoko Kanno is a musical genius

[@HuggumsMcgehee]

It's her characteristic harmonies and form and melodies. It just sounds like something she would put together.

[@luminousdusk]

This has a very Maurice Ravel feel to it, imo. I love Yoko Kanno.

[@MrDaiohAzu]

grandiose Sweet. Nice to see people who know Maurice Ravel :)

[@bordeauxcolor]

+grandiose What is exactly Ravel here?

[@deepblue153]

I always think this! xD

[@jaunecoltrane5572]

I've always thought the main theme sounded like Ravel's 2nd Valse Sentimentale. Seems like she was inspired by the piece.

[@doyle8120]

@@jaunecoltrane5572 can you tell me EXACTLY which track in the 2nd valse sentimentale ?

[@himez123]

What lies beyond the clouds? I will get there and let the people know!

[@ReverbCanvas]

[@hinatax24]

I just want to fade into nothingness listening to this, it's so... I can't even explain the feeling.

[@SwordWaltz]

i can see myself sitting on the outside of the small wooden house in the middle of grass field on the mountain, just resting looking on the sunset while enjoying this masterpiece.

[@Wimbell93]

I've started to explore Kanno's other works because of the brilliant GITS:SAC soundtrack and this is just beautiful.

[@johannesschmitz6370]

Her work is definitely awe inspiring

[@iwanadavina2199]

1:02 when she drop it like that...

[@JoeL-og2rz]

YES ! lmao thought I was the only one

[@termsofservice00]

To think that one person can make such songs... I admire Yoko Kanno, for making such beautiful songs!!!

[@UltraCalibur]

such a beautiful song.

[@detachedobserver1]

I imagine snow falling when I listen to this song.

[@RyanTani]

When I have time and get further along in my theory courses, I'll figure it out!!

[@altheaesconde5477]

[@Deftonedd4]

So distinct.

[@JKing01283]

Wow...this is such a beautiful song. It sounds like the kind that would either be in Cowboy Bebop or Trigun. Anyone know from which Nobunaga's Ambition game this is from? I'd appreciate the info xD

[@taoufik.jabbari]

I see what you think , i listen what you mean...

[@MateusSnake12]

anyone know what instruments she used in this music?

[@rachelgohlman3582]

Sounds like a shakuhachi flute in there and some kind of bells. A koto in there later on.

[@85smax]

She's da best.

[@simpatico63]

remember me a little bit of debussy, but that doesnt matter is a wondefull composition, I am gratefull to hear this kind of relaxing and peacfull music in this unrested times.
