For anyone who hasn't seen it, the animation is a short anime called Cloud, released as part of the 1986 anthology film Robot Carnival. I just watched it and immediately recognized it from this video. Love this song so much!!!
Best song of theirs by far even though it’s probably their most polarizing album for lack of a better word IMO. Personally I think this band’s complete discography is close to if not absolutely perfection.
'Garden of Light' is one of the greatest songs ever made. All of Isis' music is amazing, but they were operating on an even higher plane of songwriting here. The melodies are transcendent. The lyrics are direct and meaningful. Everything works. Its perfect.
Their track record was amazing. The only album I wasn't hot on was Celestial. Though I do like the first song on it. Deconstructing towers can fuck right off though, or whatever it's called.
Yes... I've been a fan for 20 years; this audible art has forever imprinted me with depthless joy, gratitude, and a connection to indescribable realms. Saying "I love it" is true, but an understatement. Words cannot express the deep 'love' I have for this music.
I fell asleep in a world dressed in grey Only to awake in a garden divine There was song and dance and untarnished flesh A feast for the body and the eyes It was you who brought me here Yours whose face greeted me in the garden of light You are the face of God You are my breath My life, my death
Simply divine. If you suss the story this song is relaying its unreal to think that a place like that existed. Story goes kinda like a guy creates garden in the middle east to replicate heaven after going through a process of enlightenment the person is laced with a substance that puts him into a trance like state, when he awakes he is the garden of light, he is given what he desires but if he sins he is lead out the front gate and into the desert....Heaven on earth is a state not a place. Love this clip too really simple and sits well with this epic song.
The song is pretty clearly about the Hashshahsin and its leader Hassan i-Sabbah, who is quoted in the CD liner notes. The previous track on the album is about the "garden divine", at Firdous e Bareen: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan-i_Sabbah
That might be the inspiration for the song, but it has much larger spiritual resonance than that. There's nothing fake about the emotion they're conveying, or the destination of our soul after death.
I remember when my friend forced me to listen to this. Never before I'd heard post-rock and it was like stepping out of your house for the first time. After so many years I still have goosebumps whenever I hear this song.
I have my own playlist where i get all the beautiful officials videos who are arround youtube, like videos from American Dollar, Massive Attack, Gojira, and what else. It's not often that i can watch a fan video, but this one, man, the best i ever seen. Amazing.
Wonderful piece of art. My preferred part is starting from 5:15 until end. Intro and outro are just fucking awesome... So much feelings getting out from these sounds. These guys are genius. And i think it comes principally from Arron Turner. The band 'Palm' (Isis band - A. Turner + Shino moreno) seems to be in the same waves but it's not the case. Palm has a lack of this kind of ambiance that comes (in my opinion) directly from Turner... I miss him !
Palms is good, but both ISIS and Deftones are themselves far better. I'm hoping for another Palms album soon, but I'd like to see more of this sort of ambiance.
Yes, that's what i meant when i've put the dash "-" , it means "minus" : Isis band - A. Turner + Shino moreno = Isis band "minus" A. Turner "plus" Shino moreno ... sorry I'm a bit geek.
i was into this isis (the band ,,, the fucking band ) from the day one..... years of handing cd,s to mates who thought they knew heavy , heard isis and said "not for me" .... this bands music was always heavy , brutal and beautiful to my ears and are more so "for me" now than ever. its sad to say a death in the band will bring their brand of heavy and majesty to a new era of fan for them .... i hope calebs legacy will reach a new spectrum of sound in the ears of the ones who truly hear them ,, and love them, and need them . peace.
This animation clearly shows someone actually thought about the music when making it. Both the video and song convey such strong emotions, and the author of the video interpreted it in a very unique and beautiful way. Music videos could learn a few things from this video, because the creativity is flowing throughout the entire thing. This is a rare case where I can say the video is as good as the song it represents. Bravo.
You should check Rosetta, Cult of Luna, Neurosis, Year of No Light, Pelican, Huldra and some Jesu. If you mant some softer stuff (but awesome nonetheless!) try with If These Trees Could Talk, Gifts From Enola or Russian Circles.
@@jordanjackson7837 So true : Red Sparowes , it's ISIS band without Aron Turner (if I remember correctly). Same musicians, same ambiance, epic as Isis, but softer.
Good call on Robot Carnival, I love that movie, bought it on VHS way back in the day. I'm just playing the song as background right now so I will have to come back here later sometime.
Surprisingly nice! I generally avoid visual interpretation of my favorite music so as to retain my own vision of it (the exception being, of course, visuals by the band itself; especially, Aaron's visuals!), but this fits well. Although, as jmmoyar mentioned, beyond the 4:45 mark I generally stop seeing anything really, and just start thrashing my body in all directions. ISIS and conscious thought generally fail to cohabit in my mind at the same time.
Actually, the video here is from the anime-short collection Robot Carnival. I dont think there is any substantial editing either, save to match the video with the song duration. Still, this is one of my favourites on youtube. Not only does the tempo and feel match up, but both pieces visit some of the same artistic themes.(my opinion) The lyrics are inspired by "Firdous e Bareen", but any ambigous piece of art could be said to have the meaning you prescribe to it.
I remember the original upload of this video, from sevral years ago. It didn't have half the quality of this one. Did you went and got Robot Carnival in its entirety? And then edit out the "Cloud" story and embedded it with a HD version of the song? Congrats for the effort. But since you did that, wish you had taken an actual effort in editing the video to fit the nuances and transitions of the song. Which was my only disapointment regarding the original upload at that time.
i fell... lost in hell... they were dress in gray ..... only to awaken in a garden divine there was something missing in the garden rage there was no love left in me there was rage breaking me in the garden of light felt all the rays of god filled all of my mind..........my light my end always sang it like that hahahahahaha
It's an episode of a cult Japanese anthology animated film Robot Carnival (1987.), called Cloud. The fact that Garden of Light follows it perfectly (and that someone recognized and edited it) is just one of those inexplicable moments when two unrelated peaces of art supplement each other perfectly and practically create a third one.

Thank you, very cool!

The last 4 minutes are transcendental

@@Purpulan wtf are you two talking about
This song should never end
If you think about it, the light never does end truly
this will be played in millions of years still

I totally agree
Agree. I first saw them open for Tool. They were better than Tool and the dudes from Tool agreed too. Lol

@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers agree, very well said - this song connects on a spiritual level for me

Song brings me to tears...seriously.
You're not alone. ISIS man, their music hits me every single damn time right in the feels like nothing else can
The last four minutes
Trevor B pure eargasm
I am always overwhelmed with joy and appreciation whenever I listen to this song.
Yes... I've been a fan for 20 years; this audible art has forever imprinted me with depthless joy, gratitude, and a connection to indescribable realms. Saying "I love it" is true, but an understatement. Words cannot express the deep 'love' I have for this music.
Just cant get enough of this group. Been listening to these guys for over a year non stop.
They can take you on journeys.
I implore you to listen to Old Man Gloom if you haven't. Especially Zozobra III
I fell asleep in a world dressed in grey
Only to awake in a garden divine
There was song and dance and untarnished flesh
A feast for the body and the eyes
It was you who brought me here
Yours whose face greeted me in the garden of light
You are the face of God
You are my breath
My life, my death
Awaken.
Mother
Thank you God
Best fan made video I've come across.
If you like mastodon watch the fan made video for Bedazzled Fingernails. It's awesome!
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Best song ever, of all time and all of the multiverses. 'In the absence of the Truth, Nothing is True, everything is permitted'
The perfect song to end an amazing album.
2121 Still playin it
such a good band, I can't believe I never discovered them until recently
+Josh Neither can I.
Perfect vid for a perfect song… just gets better with the years. Greatest concert of my life in 2006 at the Koko.

Palms is Aaron Harris not Aaron Turner
Yes, that's what i meant when i've put the dash "-" , it means "minus" :

Shino moreno = Isis band "minus" A. Turner "plus"
Shino moreno
... sorry I'm a bit geek.
Both Aarons together= exponential genius
I always come back to this track.
Someone better play that ending at my funeral.
Absolutely epic band, this song is a thing of beauty. This album has been out for a while now and to me it stands as one of the best in metal.
Hell fucking yes mate !!
i was into this isis (the band ,,, the fucking band ) from the day one..... years of handing cd,s to mates who thought they knew heavy , heard isis and said "not for me" ....
this bands music was always heavy , brutal and beautiful to my ears and are more so "for me" now than ever.
its sad to say a death in the band will bring their brand of heavy and majesty to a new era of fan for them .... i hope calebs legacy will reach a new spectrum of sound in the ears of the ones who truly hear them ,, and love them, and need them .
peace.

Still coming back here in 2018. I really do need to check out Robot Carnival already.
You are the face of God, you are my breath, my life, my death.
What a great video to compliment the whole album!
not my favorie isis album, but this is one of their best songs ever imo
its my favorite ISIS album. cant get enough of it.
agreed
Hard facts
that ending though
This is in my top 5 Isis songs
1. In Fiction
2. So Did We
3. Garden of Light
4. Syndic Calls
5. Weight

How can you leave out ths sparrows
Palms

Play this at my funeral.
Is it just a coincidence that this part of "Robot Carnival" has exactly the same length as the song and is so incredibly fitting to it?
Whoever disliked this song heard screaming and didn’t listen to the rest of the song
*Would love it were they to reunite for another album/tour.*
OMFG TY SO MUCH
Wow, that's a great track, can't believe it's drawing the right attention for the wrong meaning... "nowadays"
One of My favorites
This video is incredible. What a great combination.
beautiful. amazing. thank you ^^
ahh beautiful
Ohgodohgodohgod
THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH!!!
Greatest fan video ever
Their best song ever.
perfection of beuty
What a fantastic video. Nicely done. fits the tune!

his clean vocals are incredible you are a silly man
So good.....
I like music that moves me...Thank you
Thank you so much

Great job..
Notice how the body remains-now glorified.
It's redemption following the fall of creation.
Amazing
So cool!
May I download your video to add spanish subtitles? This is song is one of my favorites, and you sure did it justice with the video
how have only 16,000 people seen this video, that was fucking epic!
*o*
Wow, fits perfectly
My god this is amazing!
hermoso
Brilliant :)

So good
You're thinking of the wrong Aaron, Aaron Harris is the drummer for Palms and ISIS whilst Aaron Turner is the co-founder of ISIS (with Jeff Caxide).
wenn du so guten stoff machst,kannst du kein verblendeter cowboy sein.
