I know this is quite old, but I revist this track a lot in particular. It's very good, no doubt, but this song has very special meaning to me.
Me and my Dad used to watch Kurzgesagt quite often. We were both so interested in science. I never grew up with my parents, because of choices they made in the past, and thats okay. They tried all my life to fix their lives, and always made sure that I knew it wasn't my fault. So, when me and my Dad would have court-ordered visits, we would turn on Kurzgesasgt(among other things) and watch videos for about 2 hours per week. We did this through thick and thin for years.
When this video released, I was so excited to show it to him. It had released on the same day we had our visit, it was perfect. I loved the video, and came here to listen to this track while studying and doing homework.
Later that night, I was told my Dad had passed away. 3 days before, but my guardians and my mom didn't know how to explain it to me. How I would never have another visit with him. How he was gone. There was no pain, no scary race to the hospital. He died in his room, praying, asking for strength. One of my family members walked in a couple minutes later, and he was gone. His heart stopped, and he was finally able to rest.
So, after I was told the news, I was devastated, obviously. This October 3 will mark him being gone for 1 year. I know he's in a better place, he's finally able to rest. This track always reminds me of the life he lived, the somber parts at the beginning, but getting more triumphant towards the end. That was my Dad. He started off in a bad situation, but rose above, and made sure everyone in his life knew that he loved them.
I love you, Dad. Thanks for always supporting my interests.
That's amazing. You and your dad seemed so connected and im sorry hes not around anymore. Hes at rest now, and he sounded like an amazing father.
It amazes me how much Kurzegesagt is able to bring these emotions in people. Personally, as somebody who had every terrible and bad view of the world, Kurzegesagt has really helped me see that there can be good in anything.
Kurzegesagt is amazing, idk what I would do without it. May it be around for many more years to come.
@@minimalism7919 Thanks for reading my story. I know this can easily be seen as "fishing for attention" but I wanted to chronicle my feelings for this song. I always come back to it, and Epic Mountain's stuff is some of the best instrumental only music I've heard.
@@ragerdotzip1619 its completely fine. May your dad rest in Peace and Kurzegesagt/Epic Mountain continue to prosper for many more years to come. We've made a lot of memories with them and there are still more to be made.
fric man, i am really sorry
May we all strive to be great parents and people like this man’s father was. Rest in peace good sir
Everybody talking about the Time leifmotif but nobody's talking about A New History in the beginning. Epic truly is an understatement!
Thanks Nathaniel
The only problem is that it isn't 60 BPM like Time is.
Dang, goes to show what I know! ;-;
I didnt realize that it was a whole new motif!
Im glad you pointed it out, ill have to keep an ear out to catch it next time. I love how Epics music continues to evolve as time goes on.
whats Time leifmotif is it a song?
@@shawnhoops9168 a leitmotif is like a signature note sequence
i hope in the next 12000 years your music will be treated as a treasure of mankind, simply amazing!
deserves more likes and a heart
Welp time to download and save this music and put it in the dirt as a time capsule for the next 12000 years.
yeah i hope so.....
I would put this computer and a note in a time capsule which must be opened in 12,000 years

Good Teacher!
I think I've just found a great addition to my 'music for studying' playlist
Will be on spotify and all other streaming platforms tomorrow :-)
@@Epicmountainmusic Can't wait!
@@Epicmountainmusic really even Pandora? 😊
Mine too, "beats to work to playlist" :p
It's now on Spotify: spoti.fi/3jFOoQw :-)
This music makes me cry. Not because I am sad, but because it's so beautiful.
The fact that there are probably kids out there growing up on this content puts a smile on my face :)
I am an 11 yr old watching this
I was one of those kids. I'm very lucky to have avoided the worst of UA-cam!
my name is jamal and i am still sperm
I first watched Kurzgesagt in grade 8, while I was studying Human Biology and searching for materials, UA-cam recommended me Immune System video. By the way, I’m 19 now
i can hear Time-Remastered music too in it... both concepts so beautifully intertwined in the main video👍👏
I was going to say, I knew I recognised something but couldn't quite put my finger on it
Yes, thanks for reminds me ^^
Yeah!!! :)
That standered tone they play to make us appreciate humanity.
The time remastered ofc cam from the original time
Was really touched to hear this again in the 4.5 billion years video. This is one of my favorite Epic Mountain tracks.
I love how this song incorporates some of the elements seen in the song in that time video that was made a few years ago.
no wonder there were a few parts in the songs that sounded familiar
Like Time
The Time letimotif is my favorite recurring theme in your songs, I love that it returns here!
Time leitmotif? May you tag it, im unaware of it :0
Boe Man It appears a couple of times, but the most prominent is 1:48. It’s in tons of other Kurzgesagt music as well, like Life, What Is Something, Emergence, A New History, and of course the original and remastered Time.
@@sapphmapper9388 OHHH ITS THAT ONE
@@sapphmapper9388 are the original and remastered Time hiding somewhere else?
This music is a celebration of Humanity, it brought tears to my eyes. There is something very solemn about this. Thank you very much
This song deserves to be regarded as one of the greatest pieces of art in human history
Indeed
I completely agree
WHEN THE CHOIR KICKED IN AAAA
Yup that's my favorite part.

4:43 and 8:15 is so beautiful 😭😭...
I begin to cry every time I listen to your music because it's just sooo beautiful ❤️❤️. I feel like I'm riding a wave of different emotions and it's a completely wonderful journey. Great job Epic music 🔥🔥.
I love how this music sounds hopeful and quietly driven, while also feeling somewhat melancholy and regretful, it feels very fitting to the tone of humanity, there is much beauty in our cultures and how they evolve, and how we seem to press ever onward with curiosity and hope, but also a deep tragedy in our blindness to our actions and the senseless destruction and violence that tends to precede our times of growth, and how we often seem to barreling forward to a violent end. And yet as always we are still moving forward, because as a species we are defined by our past, but we are not entrapped by it.
The choir is a great choice too, as what instrument is more symbolic of humanity than our own voice.
This is fantastic stuff as always.
I can't wait to see what lies ahead as kurzgesagt and you push ever onward into the future
are you an english teacher?
@@megagatlingpea2322 depends.
is this a compliment?
@@sammyfox9109 yes because it sounds so poetic and skilled

I often criticize humanity, and lose hope many times with current events and things people do, and sometimes criticize our innovations and ambition, ruining nature and endangering others... but then it's things like this soundtrack that reminds me of something: mankind, no matter how many mistakes it will still do, is a creature that will keep on living on. Mankind looked into the fire and saw the Promethean gift, a gift that will help them transcend beyond what any other creatures couldn't escape. We literally halted our own evolution, and actually evolved the way we want to. And perhaps human extinction might be a possibility, and some people believe we will... but I don't. We are such an adaptive creature, innovative, inventive, creative and with imagination. Disasters cannot stop us, whether it be a pandemic or a little ice age, mankind will press on and survive. Whether the Earth turns into another Venus or returns to a state of paradise, we will still be here. And no matter all the challenged we will face, deaths and sadness, we will always press on, because we don't want to die as a species, we can't anymore. We may not see those events, but mankind will see the continents move, the Sun bloat, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide and the last stars shining through the cosmos. I have a strong belief that we will be there for all of these events, because we are in a way the Universe, gazing at itself. It's what makes us human, we were born here not to stay but to reach for the stars, go beyond our natural prison, and fly away like doves in the sky.
good words boi c:
Your sharing is utterly thoughtful, I can relate. As I criticize humanity, I criticize myself
Very beautiful paragraph my guy :) made me teared up a bit especially that the song makes this paragraph more emotional.
I'm also used to have misanthropic point of view of the world. But now, I've known both the beauty and the ugly of the human nature. And that's made me stop being misanthropic and optimistic about the future of humanity while still minding the ugly of the human nature but maybe in the future, all humans will finally achieve peace and explore the stars and beyond.
I just love how you made the piano go on a journey. Humble beginnings. Starting at home with the comfort of FAMILY. Only to say goodbye to FAMILY to a solo journey of DISCOVERY. Little by little over time (the CLOCK), we journey to see other FAMILIES of other diverse ideas and minds, to be intermingled and developed. And then over time we see that where we started and where we ended was basically were the same thing. We started with FAMILY and ended with FAMILY. The destination or place doesn't matter, but who you spend time the most with. In these times of singularity, this shows that over time we are each other's FAMILIES. Even though we bicker, contemplate, STRUGGLE, we always find each other in our FAMILY'S arms.
Sending hugs 🤗 and love ❤ to my fellow family member
Nostalgia hits hard
in my religion, we center around the family, we believe that we are sealed for al eternity when we get married and will live together forever in the afterlife, and we believe that in the premortal life we were all family. your comment really gets me.
Vin diseal
Your music is literally goated, I don't think I've heard something so fitting for a video about ancient men boogey dancing and living life lol
Aaay the Time/Human Motif is still there!! Awesome I love it! Keep it goin!!
Tenía que venir aquí a escuchar esto, especialmente por la nostalgia y el recuerdo de aquella vieja melodía llamada "Tiempo" :'3 ♥
Muchas gracias
Jeje, yo también :)

Emotional, as always
This has to be one of my favorite songs ever. A song that is about what people have done, that makes me wonder what I can do. Thank you.
From the old, lush past to the new, bustling modern world.
Everybody gangsta until it's appreciated just how far humanity has come.
Just Remember, all of your life choices led up to you listening to this beautiful piece of music.
This song is the definition of the word beautiful
I cannot possibly explain, comprehent or even understand how I feel listening to this OST, this is just beautiful in it's own unique way.
I love it
The music is such a huge part of Kurzgesakt videos! Ever since I started watching them with proper headphones it's been such a deeper exeperience. Seriously underappreciated, the little things you guys do with your music. Beautiful :)
And this song and Kurz's video both make me so emotional.
When I first heard this composition, I felt cheerful, continuing to do the usual everyday things. all of a sudden I felt sad, like when you are missing something or someone. Difficult to explain in words.
Exactly the same happens to me....i still can't figure out why this happens...but its beautiful.
This music makes me feel like I can change the world. Like I can have an effect on the future. Like I can have an effect on the future of all of humanity
This goes into my playlist named "Music to distract me from existential dread and our inevitable doom"
Well... I cried.
Thank you
I hope it was a good cry!!
you're not the only one
YEEEES!!! YEEESS!!! I CAN DOWNLOAD IT! THANK YOU, INTERNET
It's also on Spotify: spoti.fi/3jFOoQw now :-)
When i think back to my past a couple year ago when i was around 3 years old, i remember caring about myself so much less than i do now. I remember that i was so extroverted because i didnt care about how i looked in front of others. But now im super introverted and im really self concious.
Really makes you think...
same with me
This music combined with the beautiful writing and narration of Kurzgesagt made me cry, seriously...
Last time a music got me so emotional I was playing Kingdom Hearts 2...
I just love how you keep a running theme in these songs, the connection to the past songs and videos is so wonderful, and with each iteration more depth is added. I really do quite love it, its soft and hopeful music for a species that's come so far and still has so far to go.
This one deserves more views. I really love this one.
I think I'm gonna cry...
This one is very calm and cool, you did a great job epic mountains 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
@@Epicmountainmusic very nice music
Epic Mountain not epic mountains
I feel proud,
as a human.
dammit how am i suppose to concentrate on the video if there's this master piece of music playing in the background
I love the *in crescendo* of this music. The way it goes up to the nebulas and galaxies
Gotta say this song hits different than the other ones
That was heart touching music.
God. I love the use of leitmotifs you do. Sometimes I can tell what the video was talking about just by listening to the ost
Your use of leitmotifs is inspiring. This is probably one of my favorite songs you've composed.
even all this time i still come to this song. too much is said in this song.
the way you can hear "time" in here has me in tears
this track reminds me of the older ones. it feels nice and nostalgic. when I listen to tracks that have bits of other ones in them I feel like there's someone enormous kurzesagt canon universe and at the end there will be some ultimate video of all knowledge revealing the past present and future of all human history from families in caves to people around black holes in thousands of years time. or at least a movie. coming to theaters in 3012
I believe that when this era is history, Epic Mountain Music and kurgesagt will still be around, and as epic as ever
And most of them don't even notice these masterpieces during the video 😔🥺
Edit:
It's just be a big dream if you would publish the sheet music of this 🙊
We'll think about it ;-)
@@Epicmountainmusic Yeah that would be great. I'm learning piano and this is a great piece of music.
@@Epicmountainmusic pls ❤️
I'm sitting here since hours trying to figure out how to play this on my Keyboard xD
But I'm not talented enough to know the needed chords... So plsssssss
My Motto: "Doing right by each other", with right things for the right reasons. That's all there's to it, difficult as it may be. Thank you.
When you start giving science videos / documentaries (granted narrative driven ones) cinematic style motifs and themes, you know you have simply ridiculous amounts of talent and over the top love for what you do. I personally feel this is the best soundtrack for Kurzgesagt you have made yet with motifs and themes from many of your other best works culminating together into this masterpiece. This truly does take you on an emotional roller coaster and is spectacular to listen to!
Every song, man. I swear, every song Epic Mountain Music puts out is an absolute banger. Every song is dripping with perfection and inspiration.
I had to exit the main video to come listen to this.
It's like a mix of different Epic Mountain tunes with some new elements.
Very soothing and beautiful. Love it
While I don’t like humans...
This song is beautiful. The piano is heavenly, slow, and gives a sense of pride and hope, alongside some bitter sweetness. I also love the reprise to Time that was put in this song through out. Time Remastered is my all-time favorite from you guys, and this song almost feels like a compliment to Time. Instead of focusing on the past, present, and future of the Earth and the universe, this track specifically focuses on human past, present, and future. It’s truly stunning and I absolutely love this track.
You guys never fail to impress with your tracks beautifully and perfectly representing scientific ideas and concepts. You guys have the most well composed instrumental songs that I have ever heard. I love you guys and please just keep being the great composers that you are.
@@Coralysis2390 Dolphins are fairly close to humans intelligence-wise. They're social creatures with a complex system of language that involves syntax (word order), and observations suggest they have complex emotions and personalities. They work with other dolphins in sophisticated manners to catch prey, such as creating mud rings in a group around fish in low waters to trap them and more easily catch them. They're one of the few animals known to kill for fun, which is defined as killing not for food or in defense of your life, but killing just to kill. They also have the ability to suicide, which requires rather high cognitive thought and a semblance of consciousness, as it is going against the one thing programmed into all living creatures: to live. Dolphins in captivity have been observed holding their breaths underwater and killing themselves in this manner.
What I'm trying to say us, we're not the only intelligent form of life on this planet. While I can not say for sure, do you think dolphins might be capable of complex society like us based off this information? They're social creatures with a sophisticated system of language and high cognitive thought... like us.
On top of that, I think it's perfectly reasonable to not like humans for their influence. Humans have caused irreversible damage to the one planet they currently call home. They have caused thousands of species to go extinct and have gotten rid of many natural formations due to their influence. On top of that, humans as a species aren't even kind to *themselves.* The majority of the world's population does not live in a free country. People in these countries have their voices silenced, they're threatened jail time or death or imprisonment in camps if they don't comply. Most people in these countries are either starving or otherwise struggling due to the oppression of their governments. Through out history humans have also oppressed other groups of humans - and to this day continue to, although it is more severe in countries like China where said groups have governmental repercussions simply for being born what they were.
Tell me, how is it idiotic to not like an animal who not only causes suffering to the one planet they currently live on, but also causes suffering to their own species? It's animalistic to be greedy, but I believe humans have too much influence due to their intelligence and unnaturally high population numbers and take their greed too far. Please tell me something about our species that there is to like, because genuinely, I'm struggling to find anything positive about us as a species. I am not trying to seem pretentious. I am legitimately wanting to find something to like about our species so that I can stop hating what I was born as, even if only a little.
Note: I do not hate individual people. I understand that individually most people are good and do not mean harm. I am only looking at humans as a species, as a collective.
Wow, so fast so brilliant. I loved the TIME part merger 🙇🏻
same
This sounds like the highly emotional climax of a movie
It doesn’t sound like the highly emotional climax, it is highly emotional
The most delightful melody I've ever heard! Thank you,
Epic Mountain Music. With your melodies and Kurzgesagt videos I start to see the world from much more beautiful perspective. You change the world to the better!
I'm grateful for your work
Every time i listen this music I drop a tear down... it let me take the measure for appreciate each moments of my life and the growing of my children, thanks for this beautiful music !
Moves me to tears every time, absolutely beautiful.
1:47 is indescribably powerful
I love the harmonics! ❤
This simply a treasure .
12000 years and what a time it has been.. look at how far we have come.. fail and fail again only to get back up.. yet everything is so fragile and could be destroyed at any moment...
I hope we will be able to see 12100 years and 120000 years.
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
6:15 gives some cool star bound vibe :D Really calming and nice song
Damn i cried,
Too beautiful ♥♥♥
You are not the only one who Listen it during studing
You do it every time much love from germany!
Viel Liebe zurück
This song gives me the feeling that even though things might not be good right now and even though you will loose people and watch people suffer things will always get better
The piano from 6:46 is beautifully melancholic. Gives me chills
It’s not melancholic, it’s just too emotional
My god this is simply beautiful, never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.
I may have been dead for a few centuries, but I had to come back to listen to this.
Well, you’re a part of The Human Era too
Have mercy if my english is a bit weird to read but I'll give it a try.
There are moments in life where you regret that you didn't believe in yourself at all and someone else did instead. When I heard the melody people are calling the "Time Leitmotif" it was like a punch in the stomach for me. This is an awesome melody for sure but the bitter taste for me is... Somewhere like 10 years ago, I wrote a small piece of music by myself and it included exactly the same melody like the one you just wrote here... the underlining chords where a bit different, the last part of the music resolved in a minor chord but besides that, same melody, almost the same speed (120 bpm) and in the key of E minor. I was not satisfied with the song and I thought I'm bad at writing music and just threw the song away. Somewhere deep into a trash folder where it still exists to this very day.
Not sure what I try to express with this comment, I'm not envious or mad. I'm not thinking like "Wow, it could have been me who gets a lot of credit" or something like that. It just has a bitter taste to it for not believing in myself and just throw everything away my musical ideas because I think they are not good enough or I fear that people won't like it... if that makes sense.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear that your music is so enjoyable for the people out there, guess, that is the sweet part of it.
There is still a lot of time for your eventual breakthrough. This just confirms you have the capability. Best wishes
This is amazing, it makes your every day more meaningful and precious.
Love or hate kurgesagt.
The team knows what good background music is :D
Why would anyone hate them
@@dish7877 dont ask
itll just make you mad
because there argumnets are so easy to tear into shreds
itll make you lose more hope in humanity
Something i absolutely love about this is how it sounds like the history of the universe soundtrack and it feels nostalgic to listen to
WHO WOULD DISLIKE THIS PIECE OF ART!?
I’m adding this to my playlist. ❤️
"Brilliant" doesn't do justice to how good this music is! I know you guys don't do piano tutorials anymore, but could you please make one just for this?
Anyhow, I hope you never stop making such beautiful compositions!
And you have found the end credits to humanity
I love how you intertwined the motif here
good and peaceful soundtrack
I listen to this song a lot, it brings back memories, memories of when I was a little kid, memories of dreams, memories of spending time with family; these memories bring me to tears, while I cry I reflect on my life; there is something familiar about this song, it reminds me of slime rancher and roblox, but it reminds me of something else, and I don't know what it is bot it keeps me coming back to this, I really love this song
Sentimental touch 💖😭😍👍🏼
you are the first comment on this master piece congrats!!!!!!! :P
Every time I listen to this, I think about our ancestors and their children evolving that resulted in us today
Yes, but I’m a disgrace to them and everyone wants me to vanish

Oh great now i have a new favorite soundtrack. This is almost like being hereditary, every time epic Mountain release a soundtrack video the most recent one succeed (which is this soundtrack in this case) to my favorite cant stop listening😁😁😁
Another wonderful music from a piece of epic mountain music! This made me wonder or imagine of mankind's struggle to survive.
Thanks, Kurzgesagt! for bringing us here
So beautiful, man, I sometimes make personal music by myself. But this just stunning. I’ve watched Kurz for a long time now, I’ve never appreciated this music so much. The songs get better every time, keep it up, and thank you for your incredible art you create. Thank you epic mountain.
Remember lads , in the end all that matters is the Experience (◡ ‿ ◡)

I really like this! Released just after my 20th birthday! Thank you so much.

I love this. even better than time remastered. you never fail to make a fire soundtrack. amazing music+amazing animations=epic
The two dislikes are from other species that died off or were killed by us, humans..
just small genocides, nothing weird, just genocide or maybe mass murder. we do that all the time
especially in schools for some reason
@@kennethtimorang8343 morally questionable humor is the best humor!
On par with the Time remastered and imho one of those more serene tracks (like Loneliness, Dissatisfaction, The Egg, Fermi Paradox pt.1&2, Why we age...)
