The lyrics to this is insanely well written A weary and worn day; pushing against the ground. I turn my back against the rising sky and close my dry eyes. These tangled chains; they hover above the shadows which close in as they continue to gain speed, and slowly tighten. A bloodied knife; someone keeps brandishing it, gathering wood for the fire as they spit asphalt all over the place. My arm, drained of strength; it trembles, uncontrollable; i hit the hardening wall and am slowly pushed away.

this song (and this whole album, as a matter of fact) carried me through this year. each listen i discover something new to it that i hadn't noticed. timeless masterpiece. ps: way too many music posts have comments disabled, so thanks for leaving them on here
music posts that are sent to youtube through distributing and auto generated have comments disabled by default because of the spam bots.. it's quite stupid as after they made that change spam bots started popping up even more. but yeah that's why
I agree. I remember the day someone sent me a link to the entire album and told me to listen to it, late at night, start to finish in a dark room. I was like.... what the fuck is this. I've never heard anything like it. Best instrumentals I've ever heard in my entire life.
Just heard this song for the first time as I’ve found it on accident. It’s one of those song that make you go like “holy sh*t” and has you entirely focus on the song. Best instrumentals I’ve heard in my life. Wow. I’ll have to give the album a listen sometime this fortnight when I’m not so busy or tired.
@@5hyguy42 yeah. It was great. Just gave it another listen after a long while last week. When i first listened to it i was on my bed and had my eyes closed listening to the whole thing. It was magical.
@@ImNotFine44 currently doing the same thing right now it’s maybe my 3rd time listening to the whole thing back to back. Truly beautiful I don’t know if I’ll find something that suites me so perfectly
@@JALC-x the entire mastering process was done with a cassette tape that’s why there’s white noise all over this thing, it is definitely both maximalist and lofi
i'm forced to assume the people saying this is "most hifi, nothing lofi" don't have good headphones, cuz this definitely heavily uses literal lo-fi, for that foggy, veiled, white-noisy vibe.
For me, this feels like listening to Grizzly Bear while thinking about Four Tet covering Radiohead... Incredible and Korean is such a beautiful language...
I can second that song / album being a gem! Mid-Air Thief does def remind me of Grizzly Bear, maybe a little Sweet Trip, and a bunch of other stuff I like. Plus it's fun to listen to music in a language I don't understand
still my favourite song, even after discovering like 4000 songs i like too much, in love with even. take it from me this is the top 100 best songs of all time and thats very insane. if you like this youll like 100 years of choke by world's end girlfriend which is my 2nd fav song of all time i feel the same about both songs in rank but if i had to rank that's how it'd go.
This was one of the first songs I was recommended when I switched to Spotify back in like 2019. Still hits as hard as it did on the first listen. Even more on mushrooms
I will NEVER forget hearing this song for the first time. My mind went completely blank. It was one of those pieces of music that was so good that i just sat and smiled like an idiot. Its almost better than i feel like i can comprehend
@@LforLizziefor Sweet Trip, start with Velocity Design Comfort. Fishmans has a live album I can’t fully remember the name of but you should listen to it
@@LforLizzie I’ve not listened to much of both, but for sweet trip-> would recommend Velocity: Design: Comfort (the entire album, it is one of the best auditory experiences you’ll ever have!) As for Fishmans, their entire catalog is amazing, but their magnum opus would be LONG SEASON (the audio experience of going on a hike), and 98.12.28 男達の別れ, a live album with their greatest hits (often called one of the greatest live albums ever)
@@BebxOfficial yt deleted my comment without telling me cuz I post a link to a map. Anyway there’s this map in osu “cauliflower by look vibrant” it’s very similar to this song and mapping too. I suggest you to play it if you likes ahhh this chains

This song is a perfect example of why mfs never finish a song. There’s always so much more you can add! There are too many layers to this track to fully dissect
Isnt this Balmy Night by Department of Eagles?? Im so confused its the exact melody, style almost everything is a direct variation of the department of eagles song
dude went out of their way to the edge of space just to find that chord progression holy damn
whatever nebula they found this in, it hasn't been named yet
this is easily one of the best songs of all time
facts
real bro i respect the blonde pfp too
EASILY
normally it pisses me off when people throw around statements like that... but i can't even argue with this
Can't argue, haven't found anything better
0:34 that computer voice that introduces the glitchy guitar and percussion is literally mindblowing
The lyrics to this is insanely well written
A weary and worn day; pushing against the ground. I turn my back against the rising sky and close my dry eyes.

thank you
If you don’t mind, where did you find the lyrics? I’d love to read them for all the songs in the album
Wow... a Mid-Air Thief translation. I never thought I'd ever see one.
brodewd wtf
anything and everything in this song is well written

mid air thief been inspiring me to learn Korean for the past two months, your guys’ music really transcends language!
Its actually just one guy
literally same, big reason why i started learning Korean!
and actually as one of the koreans, i cannot understand the way he pronounce the language
@@yhisgay wow.. are you from a different province than him and thus have different dialects or it's just because he's singing?
@@FireDreamShowthank you
This music will be respected in about 30 years
its already respected. go to rym
It is, already within the top 500 albums of all time within RYM

This song was very moving to me on the first listen. I was a little overcome with feelings. This is the first song I've heard from this artist
Me right now lol
Mid air thief has been on loop for me all year. I feel like they’re a little treasure that not many people know.
I believe it’s one man with some features
The song you listen to while having your life flash before your eyes
no matter how many times you listen to this it still feels like it came from another planet like the first time you've heard it

뭔가 좀 더 살아보고 싶게 만드는 음악
For me, this feels like listening to Grizzly Bear while thinking about Four Tet covering Radiohead... Incredible and Korean is such a beautiful language...
Exactly like Grizzly bear. The intro is like the outro of sleeping ute.
@@raihanshrk1955 Definitely!
listened to this album for the first time today, totally new experience for me !
sometimes songs describe this feeling of love and pain mixed together, it makes your heart squeeze beautifully. this is one of them.
This is such gorgeous song. Snippets of it really reminds me of another gem by the name of: ‘ In Ear Park ‘ by The Department of Eagles.
I can second that song / album being a gem! Mid-Air Thief does def remind me of Grizzly Bear, maybe a little Sweet Trip, and a bunch of other stuff I like. Plus it's fun to listen to music in a language I don't understand

Never gets old. I have yet to listen to this song without it blasting me into another dimension.
such a beautiful album
Relistening to this album on good headphones and it’s an instant 10/10
DUDE WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW LOVELY THIS IS
This was one of the first songs I was recommended when I switched to Spotify back in like 2019. Still hits as hard as it did on the first listen. Even more on mushrooms
Listened to this on new years eve on shrooms, absolutely surreal
국내음반이라고 믿을수없는 퀄리티와 믹싱. 난해하지만 정리되어있는듯한 느낌
What an incredible masterpiece of music this song is. So beautiful.
Everyone’s comments are talking about how gorgeous this song is and I agree but I can’t get over the fact that they used farting noise samples hehehe
such beautiful songs

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Why have you chosen to curse me in this way
Lmfao
from 2 days been listening this song for over 10 hours on loop.
this is an actual masterpiece
It sorta gives me Steven Wilson & Air vibes, and maybe even some Pink Floyd. Beautiful song. Dreamy.
Grizzly Bear, Sweet Trip and Fishmans vibes for me. A little Four Tet in there too
I can also see the Pink Floyd connection too - psychedelia with a bit of prog
@@skywardstargaze1768 I've never heard of Sweet Trip or Fishman before, any song recommendations?

This song is so good that when i tripped to it i almost walked off a 50 ft cliff trying to walk into the city view
this song makes me cry every time i listen it.
This sounds like Grizzly Bear 🥺
They've gotta be a huge influence! Especially Daniel Rossen's guitar playing. Parts of this album sound a lot like the vibe of Yellow House especially
so glad to see others making this connection
will never tire of this album
I love them I love them I love them
This is amazing, different from everything i've seen so far, great music!
제가 참 좋아하는 시규어로스도 생각나네요 노래 좋아용😊❤

@@sodainthepagoda no problem!
I was in heaven for 5 minutes and 8 seconds.

grizzly bear kinda similar tho

Now only if forest of mirrors would be released by this label. Hint hint
Isnt this Balmy Night by Department of Eagles?? Im so confused its the exact melody, style almost everything is a direct variation of the department of eagles song
Love that song
Probably both of them just use flamenco on the guitar (or banjo)
It’s the distinct guitar picking style, very reminiscent of Daniel Rossen (Dept. of Eagles/Grizzly Bear). The melody and everything is different.
