    In the summer of 2013, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London's famous Porchester Hall. The response from fans was overwhelming and led to two sold-out nights at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles in October, described by Billboard Magazine as "one of the finest and more memorable shows in EDM history."
    Above & Beyond partnered with THUMP on the production and filming of the London shows to create a concert film that captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project. The songs performed at Porchester Hall also form the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album, which was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.
    "Making Plans" is a brand new Above & Beyond track that was played for the first time acoustically at the Porchester Hall shows.

    The way the strings and piano break down in the chorus is absolutely stunning and pure beauty.

    Man did this song break my heart back in the day lol, wow, it's bittersweet to look back and realize that you never really get over someone you truly loved, you just learn to live without them until eventually it hurts a lot less. I know many people can relate to this beautiful song, it's a classic

    "Making Plans"
    Time held its breath
    A motionless spell of rapture
    Across the room
    A memory had been captured
    And through the years
    Though distance lay between us
    I carried your torch
    To illuminate the darkness
    And I still lose myself
    In that orange glowing moment
    When your upturned face
    Seemed to answer all my questions
    But when I asked myself
    As I do from time to time now
    Where it all went wrong
    Is there really any point in making plans?
    In making plans?
    So I made my vows
    In the last low hours of morning
    As I lay you down
    I heard you whispering a warning
    But then we lost ourselves
    In that orange glowing moment
    And your upturned face
    Seemed to answer all my questions
    But when I asked myself
    As I do from time to time now
    Where it all went wrong
    Is there really any point in making plans?
    In making plans?
    And I still lose myself
    I still lose myself
    making plans

  • @courtneyfaggot

    After listening to this song for months I just now start to feel like this song is about catching yourself still making plans with the person that you love after you've broken up. Like losing yourself in them still and you still catch yourself making plans on marrying them, and doing things with them in together in the future. Idk just a thought.

    • @Chepmister
      @Chepmister 9 років тому +1

      i think u got part of it right, i think its a song of somebody that is heartbroken and is reminiscing a long lost love, in which both knew that it was going to an end, so "whats the point of making plans?" and trying to rescue a dying flame, when you and your loved one know that the "orange" lighted flame eventually burn out. So he is sad asking where it went wrong and what if he could have planned to do something different to make it work out. So he is left thinking if he should have ended it or not....idk my two cents... i could be wrong i hope A&B give us an analysis of this song haha....but the feels of this song tho!

  • @Austin-kv9co
    @Austin-kv9co 9 років тому +18

    I was bought this for my birthday from someone very dear to me, who recently is no longer apart of my life. I feel that this song truly means "What is the point of making plans together or at all, now that we have broken up or that we are going to no longer fight for each other through thick & thin?" It hurts, a lot listening to this song. It reminds me of all the happy memories and smiles together, it also tears me apart because we had so many plans together. I know that when I return from this upcoming deployment, and if I see you again I'll have to remind myself you are with me anymore.

  • @555jaybo

    It is impossible not to break into tears with such a beautiful and meaningful song. Of course I do relate with it and that makes it even harder, but I truly believe that anyone who hear this must feel the same. English is not my first language, but it's amazing how, nonetheles, this song gets through my emotions that deep!! Thanks for giving us all this gift and I hope you keep on doing it for many years.

    Above & Beyond what an absolute talent. They take there music on many different levels and manage to pull of every idea with a great imagination they are far more than your average DJ's and that's why I have so much love for them. Jono, Tony & Paavo you guys are simply incredible and you already know how well loved you are but speaking for the millions around the world that I share the passion for your work with, it's a pleasure to be part of everything you do. You are my Group Therapy!

    speechless.....wow....and then there is people that still thinks electronic / club music is automatically made just clicking on a magic big button on a pc..... There is so much work, effort, passion and ideas behind every single record...at least for above & beyond.... i personally think that nowadays there should be no boundaries in music, an artist or band should be able to use any instruments (analogic or digital, classic or modern) in order to build the best outcome possible and pass more feelings at the same time..there is no point of being stuck on jsut guitar+bass+drum and nothing more, or the opposite...Unfortunately, it seems that only electronic artists have such an open mind...good for me as I listen to them...i just would love the world bee able to open their eyes and gets the real magic in music!! Congrats A&B

    Thank you for making this song dedicated to those who have lost anyone in a past year, and it has been just a struggle to keep everything together. It was when you presented the reasons for you performing and producing this song hit me... and I have related to such, losing my father in law this last october. Having heard you guys talk about the meaning of this song... It hit me hard... Thank you for relating and helping me being able to release my pain of loss through such great music... Hasn't changed my feelings but definitely will ease my mind and soul for my girlfriend and I. Thank you so much for coming to Hawaii. You may not read this, but you had made my life as these tickets to your show were a blessing to us from a surprise friend. The odds of how well life puts you exactly where you need to be. Can i mention as your group performed all night at the Waikiki Shell, the International Space Station had been flying over many times throughout the day to night fall.. Mahalo, and Aloha... Please come back to hawaii when you have time .

As you, Above & Beyond, give us not just music but something to hold on to when we are down and lonely, I will be forever your loyal fan. I will patiently wait for the weekly podcast, stay tune as news about your records to be released some long time from today, or anything. You guys were my personal Group Therapy when friends and family is not good enough for me to get better.

    This version is special - it shows an important part of how all these awesome tracks come to life, and I love how Tony goes 'Above and Beyond' to sing it. Considering the stellar quality of the artists lining up to work with the guys, this was a gutsy move. A million miles from the studio, and that honesty makes me actually prefer this version (and I mean no disrespect to the amazing Alex Vargas or Production on the final track by that).Well played, sirs, well played. An epic moment from an epic consert.
