    Feels like I've watched this video hundreds of times. I was a child in South Carolina and this song pulls old memories out of my head. Now I live far away from rich deep forests. When I get homesick I come back here. I can smell the humidity, moss and dirt like I'm there. For a little over 18 minutes my homesickness fades. Thank you for this wonderful video. Love and peace to all out there.

    I was listening to this the other night in my dark room and it totally ceased to be a song and became more a space rather than sounds. I listen to alot of drone music but something about this track in particular. That night, this song seeped into all of the other sensory systems in my brain and became an experience.

      caseystu123 you are so right about the song becoming a space. That description is spot on!
      I find myself drawn to this song also. I'm mesmerized. I also listen to a lot of drone music. For decades, really. Brian Eno is my blood type. I'm also a poet. But this song. It's as if something is glacially moving. I can listen to myself in the music. I feel a gnostic headband. I guess SOTL are over...no new cd. I'd see them in concert on the desert salt flats. You could hear their drones for miles in the canyons. A soundtrack for the day. What God decides to play for the planet that afternoon. The music is the Buddha!s stare.

    I used to listen to this song all the time late at night. It's been a while but I just happened upon it again and have to say this video is damn near perfect. It captures that sense of infinity the song evokes - as if you were melting into the world and could feel your whole life, every single little forgotten moment, emotion, thought, kiss, desire, ambition, regret within you, like a long breath outstretching to gasp in the very corners of time and space, and all at once your life and your dreams and your world unfolds before you, endlessly, forever.

      +Matt Fitzpatrick It seemed so normal, did it not? We became used to it as kids, because we grew up with being driven around in cars. Deep down I knew that there was something magnificent going on. It's something that, biologically, humans were not really meant to experience, and yet, here we are. Back then, as a child, I did not have the ability to put it into words like I do now. Thank you for putting that memory back into my mind.

    It kinda reminds me of the Spyro homeworld soundtracks, they were always peaceful and seemed so dreamlike. Hearing this really brings me back to my childhood when I was still around my cousins and old friends, but sadly nothing ever stays the same.

    Speaks something more true and pure of consciousness. Above the limitations we often feel but do not truly know. Something more pure in tone than the one to shout and explode at curiosity of existence. Perhaps greater than their own fear can handle - but what is fear - an electrically stimulated emotion and physical brain - in terms of wondering where we truly came from or truly go after.

    Stars of the Lid is more than a reflection of an era. It’s a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A decadent wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the infinity.
