🦉📖 *. . . Fourth of July by the lake is a special day, maybe your favorite day of the year. School is a distant memory, summer days sprawl ahead. You experience the world through the sensations on the bottoms of your bare feet: the cool grass, the dusty path, the sun-warmed planks of the dock. You feel ebullient, full of an excitement that fires off in every direction at once. You and the other kids run wild through the yard, past the rusty old red truck, the tire swing, and grandpa playing banjo on the porch. You pass the whole afternoon plunging into fresh, cold water of the lake and re-emerging into the heat of the sun, again and again. When you return to the house, dripping and famished, the barbecue is sizzling and the picnic table is piled high with sausages, burgers, pie, and lemonade. As night falls, fireflies fill the yard with magical dots of light. You are dry now, muscles tired and warm from playing in the lake all day. Blankets have been spread out on the grass, and you flop onto one: it's time for fireworks! The distant booms and crackles mingle with softly chirping crickets as magical sparkles light up the sky over the lake. You stare until your eyes begin to blur, then droop. You can't remember another day so pure and beautiful and full of fun. You drift to sleep. . .* 🦉👋 Hello relaxed person that read my story - thank you! Do you enjoy this type of video?

Bravo CBN! The banjo is outstanding and so is the entire atmosphere and video! I love the hydrangeas. I wish they grew here! Happy 4th to you and stay safe. Thank you for this beauty!
Honest to God, this is exactly how I remember my 4th of July’s growing up as a kid in the 90’s in Nebraska. The sound of the boom’s from the fireworks in the distance. The sounds of crickets and cicadas singing throughout the night. The slight breeze in the cool of the evening. Growing up in the 90’s was absolutely magical.
Hope they were happy tears of good times and memories :) I use a lot of nostalgia in my videos so the emotions are bound to rise to the surface sometimes ❤️ Take care!
Can you say that a little louder so people in the back can hear?? just kidding hahaha I am grateful for the kind words and praise. I am just trying to make art and I'm glad you all are appreciating the places and sounds I have in my mind :)
@@CalmedByNature 📣YOU'RE A GENIUS 📣 🤣 but seriously, you are so appreciated. I recommend this channel often to friends because you seriously blow me away every single time. They really are nostalgic little worlds of peacefulness that you create. You're amazing!
Every year for as long as I can remember, my daughter and I have a holiday tradition. We pack up our folding chairs and head to downtown Kernersville NC to watch the fireworks 🎇🎆. It's nothing overly spectacular, just some beautiful fireworks and what we like to call, the Best view in the city. We park our lawn chairs under 2- Oak Trees. Spray on plenty of insect repellent, grab some ice cream from the local dinner just a few blocks away, sit back and enjoy the show!! And for a few brief hours, we relax, laugh, ohh and ahhh and just spend time being Mommy and Baby. 🎇💕🤗
This is sooo beautiful 🥰 It's making me cry my eyes out because it's reminding me of childhood and now everyone has passed on and those days are over . Now I'm just a struggling single mom of two and how I wish I could give my kids a night like this... I am going to let this vid be my inspiration to somehow , some way give my kids a nice 4 th of July. God bless us all and Thank you ❤️
Sweetheart11 oh my, I had the same reaction!! 😢 I relate to a lot of that except I didn’t get to have kids (which makes me sad) but I know what you mean about the other reactions. Well wishes for you and your children, sounds like you will be inspired to give them a wonderful holiday!😊❤️🤍💙
Thank you so much and you are most welcome. I'm sure you will do a great job creating wonderful new memories for you and your children. Take care, do your best, and don't be too hard on yourself ❤️
Sweetheart11 , have a barbque or picnic, swim if there is somewhere you can do that or even a sprinkler is fun for kids, some yummy ice cream, the fireworks. All my 4th of July’s have been different, not sure why. Some years big family cookouts, or beach party, sometimes lakeside, even camping. One year that was so hot went to the public pool with my husband and very young daughter, picnicked and swam, then watched fireworks later that night. Quiet, but a very nice memory as they all were. My family is now very small, many have passed away so I can relate to that. Just be with your children and it can be wonderful.
@Lee TV It's absolutely a better reason to celebrate! This gem of freedom may be smudged, but it's still the shiniest bastard in the whole pile of coal.
Sherry Ashbrook: Being American is not about birth, it's about loving her, standing up for her, and passionately supporting our Flag and Constitution!! If you are all those things, you are an American!! God bless you! 💕
I can see that you're experimenting and pushing your boundaries, really appreciate the efforts you're putting into each video. Your videos have been a great escape during these times of working and staying at home.
You're welcome! I'm happy to keep pushing myself as long as people are enjoying being along for the ride! Thank you for your kind words Jeremiah and continue support 🎆 Take care and happy 4th!
I love this! I love the sound of people talking, laughing, having fun in the distance. Could you do more of that? Like maybe napping on a blanket by a lake with people swimming and splashing in the distance. Kids laughing, a bird singing here and there, maybe an ice cream truck. I know I would love that!
I will definitely do that! I've been wanting to do some picnic and park videos. I have to get better audio recordings of those type so of setting first. Thanks for the kind words and awesome suggestions!
Playing tag, baseball catching the ball with your hands, tossing a frisbee around ( anyone remember what a frisbee is? ) 😂 Hide and seek until dark! ❤️🇺🇸
This is fantastic. Your banjo music is perfect, cheerful and relaxing at the same time, you should definitely record more of these ! :) And you made a beautiful ambience, the kind of video that could make anyone want to spend the night gazing at the stars.
Diane your Maid Marian video was amazing! I wish I could say I listened to the end but it was so relaxing and calming that I fell asleep, 2 nights in a row, at about the 10 min mark 😴😴
This came out during the pandemic, and I remember watching it after getting home from a small gathering. This captures the lonely optimism that I felt on the 4th of July that year. Things are looking even better!
This perfectly captures the magic of starlit rural summer nights. The extra enchantment of the fireworks in the distance makes for a flawless Fourth Of July!🎆
Still the BEST 4th of July Ambience ever! Has given our home a lot of joy this Independence Day again. Even with my hubby being laid off and trouble brewing in my own day job, today always reminds me that as an American, we are still among the most wealthy and lucky people the world has ever known. Here's to us all, everywhere, making the most of the freedom others have fought and died for us to have. Pray we can keep it!
I live in the woods in Florida .. The owls have an orchestra outside my bedroom window most nights, they converse back and forth with each other, the frogs, the crickets and an occasional Black bear overturning our bear proof garbage can, I sleep with contentment due to the Peace from my environment.. This wonderful video you made gives me the same Peace. Thank You this is perfect
🎉 Happy 4th of July! 🎉 1976 there was a 4th of July at my Aunt's place just like this. She lived in Lake Ronkonkoma, Long Island NY. What a party, lol. This is so reminiscent of that night. This is perfect, thank you. Audio and visuals are terrific. Have a great weekend... 🎆 Ruby*
Sounds like a wonderful memory Ruby! Thank you for sharing. I'm glad I could remind you of that time. I appreciate your kind words and support. Have a lovely week and happy 4th of July!
Just getting into bed after a pretty quiet 4th. This is perfection and I'm almost crying because it's so comforting and magical. I'm immediately transported back to 1985 when my biggest care was a skinned knee. Thank you for this feeling.
♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸I’ve turned this on in the background of 4th gatherings since CBN released it. The calmness was much needed today in a world of chaos when we all long for simpler times. 😞 R.I.P.to all of those that lost their lives at the 💥🇺🇸💥 parade today in Illinois. 💐 💐 💐💐💐
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! 15 Seconds in...Starving For Grilled Food! I have virtually shared a glass of lemonade, and endulged with the tire swing! I TRULY LOVE THE COTTAGE HOMES IN THE DISTANCE! Crickets, fireworks, night air, fireflies, best friend (other than YOU, of course)...PERFECT SUMMER EVENING. AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
You're so welcome friend! Thank you so much for always appreciating the details and hard work I put into these videos. I'm glad I could take you on a little adventure to the lake house :) It's always a good time to be had there!
There is just something so very perfect about everything in this video. I can hear the children running around and I know that they are catching lightning bugs. The saint and look of the fireworks is also totally perfect.💖
So glad to hear it! I wanted this one to have a real nostalgic innocence about it. Thank you for enjoying and extending the story with your own imagination
Happy 4th of July 2023, everyone! My family's tradition is very similar to this video, with the swimming and barbecue, and fireworks. But before the fireworks, my whole family will hear me play saxophone with the community concert band for the big outdoor concert. This video excites me for these wonderful past and future memories.
Fun reading comments of people from outside the US enjoying our American tradition of Fourth of July. This scene is so idyllic and simple. It symbolizes country living from the tire swing to the classic pick up. It could represent any era in the past 100 years and still be accurate.
That's exactly what I hope to capture in these types of videos. I love that timeless feeling of rural America. I grew up on a little farm and my dad was a wheat farmer so I am very fond of that imagery.
This feels very American to me and feels like home. 💙💙💙 and I’m a young person who has an old soul. 💙💙💙 this is pure entertainment. Not “Internet influencers”.
I'm glad it feel like home to you 💙 I really wanted this one to feel very old-timey Americana. The "good ol' days". Thank you for not thinking of me as an internet influencer :)
Oh I love this so much! Your attention to detail is amazing! I love how the porch light comes on, the fireflies, the kids on the quilt watching the fireworks; just everything! Thank you so much for this wonderful example of beautiful Americana!! 👍💕👏🏻💕🇺🇸
Fourth of July was too triggering for my husband and I as we just lost our son two weeks ago. I played this all day yesterday instead and it brought the nostalgic feeling of the holiday in a way our hearts could manage. Thank you for the gift. You are appreciated.
You have brought the essence of this day into the video. Even as a non-American I can feel the uniqueness of Independence Day. It reminds me of these endless summer days as a kid which seemed never to end. Children laughing and jumping into the lake, Banjo sounds and an old pick up truck. Outstanding work 👍 🇺🇲
Glad you liked it! I've been playing around with different editing techniques to create my intros. Something I haven't seen too much with other ambience videos but I like the way I can tell a longer story. I appreciate your support!
I live in Pennsylvania USA and this is absolutely true to what it's like to live here ...some of what we all have has been impacted by this terrible virus...you have beautifully captured what it feels like to be free and home...simply amazing!
Oh that's great! I have not been to Pennsylvania but I'm so glad this video reminded you of home. I was definitely thinking of some kind of mid-west or east coast vibe
I can't believe it's already been two years since this was posted. I've listened to this probably almost every day. I listen to it for writing and reading, in the background for story-listening. It's my only taste of crickets that sound like they're from "home," those low, slower not-constant crickets that I only heard in the desert. Fireworks are one of my favorite things and then you top it off with WIND CHIMES? I seriously don't think this has ever left my tabs in my browser. I don't know why, but I can't find those crickets anywhere without an annoying high-pitched constant ringing cricket alongside it.
Im glad you have connected so well with this one. I recorded these crickets myself near my home in Oregon. I also really like this style of cricket but maybe that’s just because it’s want I grew up hearing. The more high pitched cricket sounds are not very relaxing to me in general. I have some other videos that use this same cricket sound if you ever decided to watch any of my other summer night videos. Anyway, thanks for sharing your comment. Take care
Thanks Josie! I would love to be there too. Technically I am sitting on the blanket haha... but it was in front of a greenscreen in my living room and the view wasn't nearly as good
Calmed By Nature It’s in Texas a few hours from whare I’m From he still lives there actually we still go drive up to see him from time to time but mostly he’ll drive down to visit with us and stay a day or two
I've been listening to this ASMR off and on since last June and never commented. By far I have never seen one this incredible. The distant fireworks with the wildlife in the background and sitting next to your loved one while you peer over the lake is beyond words. Hopefully within the next few years I can get a house similar to this!
I feel like a kid most of the time, but when important holidays like July 4th and the holidays of the autumn and winter roll around, my child-like heart is at its strongest. It is the best feeling ever as a person who had a great childhood.
This reminds me of so much where I grew up in the Columbia Gorge. We could not quite see the fireworks from where we lived, ten miles out of a tiny town in WA, but we could hear the sounds of the fireworks! :) And we had the day off from working on the little farm, aside from the feeding/caring for the farm animals. We always ended the day with strawberry sundaes, after a replete dinner of hot dogs and mom's homemade potato salad and watermelon! What a delight, and yes, we could hear the crickets beginning the dusk's chorus, added to by the night owls! What tender memories! It makes me really miss my parents and siblings who have passed on! God Bless this country and my family and friends! See you again SOON, beloved family! :)
Where in the Gorge did you grow up? That sounds very idyllic! I love to experience a 4th like the one you described. A year or two ago I spent my 4th down at the Columbia River watching from river park in Hood River. The Gorge is a great spot for fireworks!
Thank you so much! I love the way you mention the anticipation... most of my 4th of july memories are me sitting on a blanket waiting with much excitement for the show to start! Hope you have a great 4th!
I live near an airport so fireworks aren't allowed, hearing fireworks in the distance is very soothing for some reason, I think the silent popping is great and knowing people are happy about something kinda makes me happy.
This is the BEST Ambience video I have ever seen!! I love the people sitting on the blanket watching the fireworks and they even move and interact with each other!! I've never seen such beautiful and realistic ambience ever before! Please keep making more videos like this. I love your hard work and dedication you put into every video you make! This is my favorite so far!❤❤😘
Thank you so much for the kind words and praise Suzzyyy! I am so glad you enjoyed this video. It was truly one of my favorite to create. The people sitting on the blanket is actually me and my girlfriend from a video I shot in my living room on a greenscreen :) I am definitely planning on making more videos like this one. It was a lot of work but like you said I think it adds a nice personal touch and realism that I haven't seen in other videos either. Thanks again for appreciating all the details and leaving me this very kind and supportive feedback. Take care, stay safe, and happy 4th!
This is easily my favorite soundscapes channel. There is a romance to these vids that is absent on other channels. Thank you for bringing back memories ❤
This is truly an truly accomplished Ambience...the best I’ve seen,thank you from my heart xx We celebrate Canada Day,July 1 very similar to your 4th ❤️🇨🇦
Wow, thank you! That is really kind of you to give such high praise of my work. I am trying my best to create relaxing and immersive videos so we can all experience other worlds :) Happy Canada day! Take care and thank you for all your support Jean!
Ohhhhhh headphones are the way to go with this one for sure! I didn't realize there were chimes sounds and I love the sound of people chattering, hanging out together and being social having a wonderful 4th of July. Again I have to say, this is such a lovely thoughtful video and audio. It's incredibly relaxing and since our 4th of July has been "canceled" this is the closest I'll get to the celebrations for the first time EVER in all of my decades of living in America! Thank you for creating this.
Glad you discovered the extra sounds! Headphones will unlock a lot of hidden sounds in my videos :) I make some elements very subtle to allow for more depth when listening with headphones vs speakers
This is quite possibly my favorite ambience of yours. It really pulls you into that Americana 4th of July experience. I will definitely be using it as we come into this nice summer weather, thank you for your hard work as always!
Dude, this brings back memories of summers during my childhood. The backyard BBQs, swimming in the pool. We still do the BBQs throughout the summer to this day. Hot dogs, burgers, chicken wings, potato chips, Coca-Cola (the whole shebang). Thanks for the trip down memory lane, man!
4th of July next week 🙂, I love listening to your videos to help me focus and when I’m trying to sleep, I checked this one out to prepare for the 4th of july
Glad you enjoy Ross! I'm trying my best to create something unique. I want to tell stories and create new worlds! Thanks for coming along for the ride :)
Congratulations this is a truly amazing creation. This is not only beautiful in sight and sound it is so very unique. It is mesmerizing. This is an amazing creation. Thank you for putting in the time and hard work to bring this to us.💖
Ειναι ενα απο τα εξαιρετικα σου βιντεο με φοβερα προσεγμενη λεπτομερεια ,που κανουν ολη την διαφορα, ακομα και το πως πεφτει το φως στο τραπεζι απο τα τρεμαμενα κερια, το οτι υπαρχουν χαρακτηρες στο βαθος να απολαμβανουν τα βεγγαλικα το κανει ακομα πιο υπεροχο!!
😂 Ha! Well I guess that's perfect for you! I guess you can still love the idea of summer without actually doing the activities that are associated with it. Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words Kaley and I hope you have a lovely 4th of July week :)
my grandparents used to own a farm. that . . . mixed with my own childhood home is quite literally this sound. down to the physical scenery. thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Leeanne Duda! I wanted this one to feel very nostalgic so I'm happy to know I could help bring back some classic 4th of july feelings and memories for you! Take care!

This almost makes me cry. The fireflies, the fireworks, just beautiful. One of my favorites hands down.
creedysgirl it DID make me cry... really made me remember my folks who are no longer here. ❤️what a beautiful place, bringing beautiful memories!
Hope they were happy tears of good times and memories :) I use a lot of nostalgia in my videos so the emotions are bound to rise to the surface sometimes ❤️ Take care!
Holidays have a way of bringing up old memories. It's good to revisit and honor those who are no longer here ❤️
I haven’t ever lived in the USA, but I’m enjoying this ASMR whilst reminiscing American movies I’d watched as a child 🐣✨🍃
xoxo
Study-Sound-Girl Wishing for the same to you 🧡✨🍃 Stay safe~
Very cool! I'm actually really happy to be able to express this type of classic Americana vibe in an asmr ambience
Same
I can confirm this is what it sounds like I live in the ca and it sounds just like this with a few car alarms every know and then and some music

I wish I knew of this channel earlier. My work from home phase will be easier to endure with content like this playing in the background.
Ditto. The red truck from the 50's is a nice touch.
I agree. It depicts a wonderful night.
The fact that the fireworks are so far away makes this feel so peaceful and secluded. I love it. 😢☺️
That was my goal! Just distant, peaceful celebration 😌
I always really love to see distant firework and sounds from freight& passenger whistles trains too
These sounds is a gift from God
This is a perfect, relaxing summer evening! Thank you for reposting the link🥰
I love this! I love the sound of people talking, laughing, having fun in the distance. Could you do more of that? Like maybe napping on a blanket by a lake with people swimming and splashing in the distance. Kids laughing, a bird singing here and there, maybe an ice cream truck. I know I would love that!
Me too ! And cry my eyes out longing for that .
I will definitely do that! I've been wanting to do some picnic and park videos. I have to get better audio recordings of those type so of setting first. Thanks for the kind words and awesome suggestions!

Omg I LOVE this!!! I grew up in the south and it feels like home. This is such a good video! Amazing job!
Excellent! Welcome home Lindsay :)
Just getting into bed after a pretty quiet 4th. This is perfection and I'm almost crying because it's so comforting and magical. I'm immediately transported back to 1985 when my biggest care was a skinned knee. Thank you for this feeling.
The skinned knee years were and always will be some of our best. I wanted this to feel nostalgia, hopefully it wasn't too much 🙂
@@CalmedByNature It was absolutely perfect.
Takes me back to wonderful times
Glad I could take you back Peggy :) I don't have memories exactly like this but this would be my ideal way to spend the holiday every year
♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸I’ve turned this on in the background of 4th gatherings since CBN released it. The calmness was much needed today in a world of chaos when we all long for simpler times. 😞 R.I.P.to all of those that lost their lives at the 💥🇺🇸💥 parade today in Illinois. 💐 💐 💐💐💐

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! 15 Seconds in...Starving For Grilled Food! I have virtually shared a glass of lemonade, and endulged with the tire swing! I TRULY LOVE THE COTTAGE HOMES IN THE DISTANCE! Crickets, fireworks, night air, fireflies, best friend (other than YOU, of course)...PERFECT SUMMER EVENING. AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
You're so welcome friend! Thank you so much for always appreciating the details and hard work I put into these videos. I'm glad I could take you on a little adventure to the lake house :) It's always a good time to be had there!
There is just something so very perfect about everything in this video. I can hear the children running around and I know that they are catching lightning bugs. The saint and look of the fireworks is also totally perfect.💖
So glad to hear it! I wanted this one to have a real nostalgic innocence about it. Thank you for enjoying and extending the story with your own imagination
I love the calamity of the night and the distant firework sounds.
Thank you, glad you like it!
Happy 4th of July 2023, everyone! My family's tradition is very similar to this video, with the swimming and barbecue, and fireworks. But before the fireworks, my whole family will hear me play saxophone with the community concert band for the big outdoor concert. This video excites me for these wonderful past and future memories.
Have a good one!
My absolute favorite one by far!!
This is amazing! It brings back childhood memories of sitting on the beach with my family and watching the fireworks!!!
Awesome! I'm glad I could spark (terrible pun very much intended lol) those memories for you :)
Oh my God. You have created a version of heaven on earth. Thank you.
Thanks Linda! I hope you enjoyed the show :)
Calmed By Nature I have enjoyed your 4th of July show over and over. 🤗
Fun reading comments of people from outside the US enjoying our American tradition of Fourth of July. This scene is so idyllic and simple. It symbolizes country living from the tire swing to the classic pick up. It could represent any era in the past 100 years and still be accurate.
That's exactly what I hope to capture in these types of videos. I love that timeless feeling of rural America. I grew up on a little farm and my dad was a wheat farmer so I am very fond of that imagery.
Life should always be like this. Calmed by Nature is my time machine...
Wish I was there....love the quietness and stillness 💖🌻💤😴
Glad you like it :) You can come over whenever you like ! 😴
This is my all-time favorite. Reminds me of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s.
This is magical, and may be my favorite video on the internet... Will be watching on repeat as summer draws nearer.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😊
if people are happy together with their families, no matter how distant or far away they are, my heart feels happy too. 💟
Lovely sentiment, I couldn't agree more!
This feels very American to me and feels like home. 💙💙💙 and I’m a young person who has an old soul. 💙💙💙 this is pure entertainment. Not “Internet influencers”.
Stay old soul don't change for anyone or anything 💖
iLeAnA Alaniesmom thank you! You’re so kind. 💙💙💙💙💙
I'm glad it feel like home to you 💙 I really wanted this one to feel very old-timey Americana. The "good ol' days". Thank you for not thinking of me as an internet influencer :)
Calmed By Nature you’re welcome. Music is entertainment. Not the type who make videos just for the cash and views and are boring. Lol 💙
@@CalmedByNature you're definitely influential in very positive ways! Thank you for what you do. ❤
Countryside vibes are awesome
Thank you JJ Supreme. I love rural landscapes and peacefulness of the nature out here :)
Oh I love this so much! Your attention to detail is amazing! I love how the porch light comes on, the fireflies, the kids on the quilt watching the fireworks; just everything! Thank you so much for this wonderful example of beautiful Americana!! 👍💕👏🏻💕🇺🇸
Thank you so much! I really wanted to create a romantic, nostalgic feel with this one. I'm glad you enjoy it!
Fourth of July was too triggering for my husband and I as we just lost our son two weeks ago. I played this all day yesterday instead and it brought the nostalgic feeling of the holiday in a way our hearts could manage. Thank you for the gift. You are appreciated.
I'm so sorry for your loss Skye. Take care 💙
Gorgeous! When I see this, I can imagine someone playing “moon river” on their guitar 🎸 on the porch. Soooo peaceful.
Sounds nice 🙂
Absolutely Stunning !!! Miss This America
❤️💙
You have brought the essence of this day into the video. Even as a non-American I can feel the uniqueness of Independence Day. It reminds me of these endless summer days as a kid which seemed never to end. Children laughing and jumping into the lake, Banjo sounds and an old pick up truck. Outstanding work 👍 🇺🇲
Thanks this was a really fun video to make ♥️💙🦉
I would just like to say that after listening for almost three hours that I’m addicted. Thank you again.💖
Thanks for listening and enjoying!
I like the zooming in the intro as well as the exploration of different areas. Very realistic.
Glad you liked it! I've been playing around with different editing techniques to create my intros. Something I haven't seen too much with other ambience videos but I like the way I can tell a longer story. I appreciate your support!
I live in Pennsylvania USA and this is absolutely true to what it's like to live here ...some of what we all have has been impacted by this terrible virus...you have beautifully captured what it feels like to be free and home...simply amazing!
Oh that's great! I have not been to Pennsylvania but I'm so glad this video reminded you of home. I was definitely thinking of some kind of mid-west or east coast vibe
Pa is gr8.
I can't believe it's already been two years since this was posted. I've listened to this probably almost every day. I listen to it for writing and reading, in the background for story-listening. It's my only taste of crickets that sound like they're from "home," those low, slower not-constant crickets that I only heard in the desert. Fireworks are one of my favorite things and then you top it off with WIND CHIMES? I seriously don't think this has ever left my tabs in my browser. I don't know why, but I can't find those crickets anywhere without an annoying high-pitched constant ringing cricket alongside it.
Im glad you have connected so well with this one. I recorded these crickets myself near my home in Oregon. I also really like this style of cricket but maybe that’s just because it’s want I grew up hearing. The more high pitched cricket sounds are not very relaxing to me in general. I have some other videos that use this same cricket sound if you ever decided to watch any of my other summer night videos. Anyway, thanks for sharing your comment. Take care
I think exactly the same things. This video This video has been a piece of my heart for years now 🎈🎆
I wish I was sitting on that blanket watching fireworks. Absolutely love it!
Thanks Josie! I would love to be there too. Technically I am sitting on the blanket haha... but it was in front of a greenscreen in my living room and the view wasn't nearly as good
Feels like the days when we would drive out to my uncles lake house and just play and have all sorts of fun in the water
That sounds pretty heavenly on these hot summer days! Where was your uncle's lake house?
Calmed By Nature
It’s in Texas a few hours from whare I’m From he still lives there actually we still go drive up to see him from time to time but mostly he’ll drive down to visit with us and stay a day or two
I've been listening to this ASMR off and on since last June and never commented. By far I have never seen one this incredible. The distant fireworks with the wildlife in the background and sitting next to your loved one while you peer over the lake is beyond words. Hopefully within the next few years I can get a house similar to this!
The best ever kinda happy feeling as a kid on July 4th, thank you so!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and remembering what it's like to be a kid and have that summer feeling :)
I feel like a kid most of the time, but when important holidays like July 4th and the holidays of the autumn and winter roll around, my child-like heart is at its strongest. It is the best feeling ever as a person who had a great childhood.
This reminds me of so much where I grew up in the Columbia Gorge. We could not quite see the fireworks from where we lived, ten miles out of a tiny town in WA, but we could hear the sounds of the fireworks! :) And we had the day off from working on the little farm, aside from the feeding/caring for the farm animals. We always ended the day with strawberry sundaes, after a replete dinner of hot dogs and mom's homemade potato salad and watermelon! What a delight, and yes, we could hear the crickets beginning the dusk's chorus, added to by the night owls! What tender memories! It makes me really miss my parents and siblings who have passed on! God Bless this country and my family and friends! See you again SOON, beloved family! :)
Where in the Gorge did you grow up? That sounds very idyllic! I love to experience a 4th like the one you described. A year or two ago I spent my 4th down at the Columbia River watching from river park in Hood River. The Gorge is a great spot for fireworks!
You really managed to catch the feeling of anticipation with the transition of day to night. Absolutely masterful!
Thank you so much! I love the way you mention the anticipation... most of my 4th of july memories are me sitting on a blanket waiting with much excitement for the show to start! Hope you have a great 4th!
I loved the peace and quiet here. I yawned and got drowsy. :)
Wonderful :)
This is beautiful! Thank you for this. Wish I could really be there in the moment.
Come on over Desiree! The fireworks are still popping and there is room on the blanket :)
Well done, love it. Very American. Miss the America we grew up with and loved and what it stood for. Now being destroyed. This is a memory of it.
Ah this is so nice. Especially love the banjo in the beginning!
Thanks so much! I was nervous to add my own music but I'm glad I did :) I appreciate your support Helen!
This is fourth of July of heaven
I'm glad you think so! I wanted to create an extra dreamy feeling in this video. I think we all need a little nostalgia right now
Lovely 😍!! Am not from the States , but really loving the atmosphere thank you x
Glad to hear it! An enjoyable night for anyone :)
Would not mind living in this home to enjoy the scenery of the country & the vast sky & distant mountain range just beautiful! 🌲🌄🏡🇺🇸🎆🎆🎆
Thank you so much. A really wonderful setting.
You're welcome! I would give almost anything to have a place like this some day :) Hope you have a nice and relaxing 4th!
I live near an airport so fireworks aren't allowed, hearing fireworks in the distance is very soothing for some reason, I think the silent popping is great and knowing people are happy about something kinda makes me happy.
I know what you mean! It makes me happy too 😊
I feel like i should be outside now
I bring the outside world to you! I definitely encourage you to go outside though
What a perfect day you described. I would love to be a kid again to experience a day like that. Love the owl on top of the house.
I'm not a kid but I think I'll always be young at heart :) Thanks for the kind words Peggy! Hope you have a wonderful 4th!
I miss those simpler times.....
I feel you Tina. I’m trying to capture those feelings in my videos
Yeah I love it ! It’s magical
Thank you Allie!
This is the BEST Ambience video I have ever seen!! I love the people sitting on the blanket watching the fireworks and they even move and interact with each other!! I've never seen such beautiful and realistic ambience ever before! Please keep making more videos like this. I love your hard work and dedication you put into every video you make! This is my favorite so far!❤❤😘
Thank you so much for the kind words and praise Suzzyyy! I am so glad you enjoyed this video. It was truly one of my favorite to create. The people sitting on the blanket is actually me and my girlfriend from a video I shot in my living room on a greenscreen :) I am definitely planning on making more videos like this one. It was a lot of work but like you said I think it adds a nice personal touch and realism that I haven't seen in other videos either. Thanks again for appreciating all the details and leaving me this very kind and supportive feedback. Take care, stay safe, and happy 4th!
A masterpiece of storytelling without words.
Thanks! There’s a story in the comments as well
It has a festive mood. I must be sad to go to sleep because I am excited at night when fireworks and fireflies fly. 😊👍
Ha! They will be there when you wake up :) Thanks for the kind words
By far still my favorite summer video, as soon as it's warm out it's on my screen
I have good memories of making this video 💙
This is easily my favorite soundscapes channel. There is a romance to these vids that is absent on other channels. Thank you for bringing back memories ❤
I really appreciate you saying that Pass Kall. I aim to add a little romance and nostalgia to each of my videos and I'm so glad you're into that vibe
3 hours worth of fireworks. That's a lot of fireworks! Still beautiful.
lol hey I could have made it 8 hours of fireworks! Thanks Byron
This is truly an truly accomplished Ambience...the best I’ve seen,thank you from my heart xx
We celebrate Canada Day,July 1 very similar to your 4th ❤️🇨🇦
Wow, thank you! That is really kind of you to give such high praise of my work. I am trying my best to create relaxing and immersive videos so we can all experience other worlds :) Happy Canada day! Take care and thank you for all your support Jean!
I love Canada very much
4th of July LOVE! 🎉
Ohhhhhh headphones are the way to go with this one for sure! I didn't realize there were chimes sounds and I love the sound of people chattering, hanging out together and being social having a wonderful 4th of July. Again I have to say, this is such a lovely thoughtful video and audio. It's incredibly relaxing and since our 4th of July has been "canceled" this is the closest I'll get to the celebrations for the first time EVER in all of my decades of living in America! Thank you for creating this.
Glad you discovered the extra sounds! Headphones will unlock a lot of hidden sounds in my videos :) I make some elements very subtle to allow for more depth when listening with headphones vs speakers
This was so nice! I love the banjo! Thank you so much for sharing this. Happy 4th of July 😊
we cant shoot off much here, we cant do much due to the virus. I appreciate this, least we can kick back and kind of enjoy the holiday.
Yes enjoy these from your home instead of going out this year. It's not a s good but at least it's something :) Take care!
Happy summer and the 4th of July 🎉
This is quite possibly my favorite ambience of yours. It really pulls you into that Americana 4th of July experience. I will definitely be using it as we come into this nice summer weather, thank you for your hard work as always!
Thanks JS, I had a lot of fun creating this last summer
Dude, this brings back memories of summers during my childhood. The backyard BBQs, swimming in the pool. We still do the BBQs throughout the summer to this day. Hot dogs, burgers, chicken wings, potato chips, Coca-Cola (the whole shebang).
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, man!
You’re welcome 🍔☀️😎🏊
this one gave me such intense feelings of nostalgia I started tearing up 🥺 you are so good at what you do.
Thanks Sarah! I loved making this one. I'm a sucker for nostalgia
My grandparents had a noisemaker that played something very close to the sound of those crickets. Brings me back, I enjoy it a lot.
Absolutely love the intro :)
Yay thank you! I worked hard on that first 1minute or so :) Glad you liked it!
This is so magical!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience :)
Ahh How I wish I could see what is cooking inside that house...I can almost smell pancakes...
haha! if only I could create smellovision Thanks for commenting Star Light - take care and happy 4th!
I absolutely love this - put it on sometimes to fall asleep!
Awesome! I enjoyed making this one ✨
4th of July next week 🙂, I love listening to your videos to help me focus and when I’m trying to sleep, I checked this one out to prepare for the 4th of july
Awesome! Glad you like it. Do you have 4th of July plans?
@@CalmedByNature yeah me and my family are gonna go to the park have a barbecue and watch our city shoot off the fireworks 😁
I can't say how much I love this!
Thank you! 🎆
You've become my favorite ambience channel, this scene is so unique! Love finding the secret owls too. Thank you for all you do! :)
Glad you enjoy Ross! I'm trying my best to create something unique. I want to tell stories and create new worlds! Thanks for coming along for the ride :)
Congratulations this is a truly amazing creation. This is not only beautiful in sight and sound it is so very unique. It is mesmerizing. This is an amazing creation. Thank you for putting in the time and hard work to bring this to us.💖
😊
Love this!!! Festive but subtle! Best seat in the house!
Thanks Amanda! That's just what I was going for with this one :) Have a great 4th!
I'm not even an american, but somehow this video brings a memory that I never had. LOL. Anyway, thank you for your effort making this one.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Maybe it's from a past life?
@@magikzebra6552 You have no past life, only the present one you currently live in. LOL
Ειναι ενα απο τα εξαιρετικα σου βιντεο με φοβερα προσεγμενη λεπτομερεια ,που κανουν ολη την διαφορα, ακομα και το πως πεφτει το φως στο τραπεζι απο τα τρεμαμενα κερια, το οτι υπαρχουν χαρακτηρες στο βαθος να απολαμβανουν τα βεγγαλικα το κανει ακομα πιο υπεροχο!!
Thanks!
🥰 Thanks so much for this!🙏
You're welcome Cecilia! Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy 4th!
Listening to this on 4th of July is truly an immersive experience.
This video makes me think that I’m an outdoor person who loves summer (neither of which are true! 😂). Awesome job! Beautiful and so calming!
😂 Ha! Well I guess that's perfect for you! I guess you can still love the idea of summer without actually doing the activities that are associated with it. Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words Kaley and I hope you have a lovely 4th of July week :)
my grandparents used to own a farm. that . . . mixed with my own childhood home is quite literally this sound. down to the physical scenery. thank you.
you're welcome. glad you enjoyed it.
love this, i want to live there! brings back good childhood memories, thank you incredible job! :))
Glad you enjoyed it Leeanne Duda! I wanted this one to feel very nostalgic so I'm happy to know I could help bring back some classic 4th of july feelings and memories for you! Take care!
