    I listened to this every single night for 9 month while going through stage 2 aggressive cancer,,, I always thought if I die while listening to this it can't all be bad, luckily a miracle happened and I'm here now to talk about it... remember it can happen to anyone anywhere so make the most of each day and don't ever forget to tell loved ones how important they are to you. ✌

      I too have just recently come through such a cancer, and I too discovered this sonic hymn when googling around "ending". Then a Macmillan nurse shared with me a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson - "It is the wounded oyster that mends her shell with pearl."
      Thank you for your post. Stay strong. There is always Hope.
      Peace and Praises

I wish I could have been there when he passed but I wasnt. A part of me has died with him. Rest in peace Dad, we will see each other again. I love you.

      I am so sorry for your loss. I had a dad like you did. He died 7 years ago and I am crying now thinking of him. It is good to hear music that links you both. My father and I shared a lot of music and after he passed I kept hearing music that I wanted him to hear. I finally realized he was sending it to me. You can continue his life by carrying on. It does get better with time. Talk to him.

Or when you come home to see someone you love after being away for so long. This song is beauty, and at this level of beauty it's hard to experience anything other than tears.

      You should consider watching Ricky Gervais' "After Life" which is a story about a man who had a wonderful, perfect marriage before his wife died of cancer, and how he learned to live again after her passing. It's an absolutely beautiful story, and it's not something you would expect Ricky Gervais to put out.
      I'll be honest, if my wife passed, I don't think I would be able to go on. But reading peoples' anecdotes in this comment section or watching stuff like After Life makes me realize that, as soul-crushingly hard as it would be to lose her, it's possible to eventually heal, even if it's one of the hardest things you'll ever have to experience.
      Sorry for this spiel, I just had to let some of this out.

      @@FSAPOJake Thanks for your comment, never apologise for 'letting out' feelings. I am aware of that Ricky Gervais series and may well check it out, thanks. I am lucky, I have the support of my three brothers, good neighbours and literally hundreds of friends as I belong to a large motorcycle club. They have been incredibly supportive and I have just returned from a four day weekend at the first rally of the 2023 season. It was emotional at times, some friends didn't know my wife Sara had died, so that was hard. But over all it was a fabulous social weekend which really lifted my spirits. Sara loved doing the rallies and events with the club and I am now doing them for her memory as much as for me. She had so many health issues and fought so hard, the few times I have come close to ending it all has made me realise she would be seriously angry with me if I did, after she had fought so hard to live. That keeps me from going too far. The wound will never heal, I know that, but I hope to find new ways to deal with it as the time passes. Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

My dad was 85 when he passed on November 15, 2020 after a weeklong battle with COVID; he was unable to talk at the end, but as an ICU nurse held the phone to his ear I told him through tears how much I loved him, and how proud I was of all he’d accomplished. My brother, whom he lived with the last few years of his life, initially had him cremated, and later interred alongside our mother after giving him a proper military sendoff. We love and miss him terribly.

    To hear Daniel Lanois and Brian talk about this song is mesmerizing. Lanois calls it a "hymn" and says it evokes in us the "deep yearn" for things unspeakable. Brian talks about how he mechanically the song wasn't working and he decided to run it backwards. He mentions how if you create a piece of music and don't give any preconceived ideas to it that people will creatively take it to places unheard of. "An Ending Ascent" has always been biblical for me and takes me to the beatific vision.

When "An Ending" came on, I turned up the volume and let the music flow through the whole L&D that night.

    A music that has made me feel sad. 2 years ago, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. Her mom(grandmother) visited me in a dream. Telling me mom's condition was just unfortunate and god will always forgive me despite regrets I've made. She made me promise along with mom to stay strong no matter what and I will never break it. Grandma then saved me from a war with depression. The next day, I helped mom's beloved soul home to heaven and be reunited with grandma. Despite her physical body no longer responsive, in heaven she said for final words "I love you Thomas". Both in heaven and the physical world i teared and respond saying "I love you too mommy". Before I came back to the physical world, I saw God's face and he was smiling at me impressed of what I done and said "You did a brave thing my son, your mom is home now. Your time has not come yet though. Until the day comes, return to the physical world". Mom's body went peaceful later that night. I did what i felt was the right thing. I miss her so much. Rest in peace Mom. I will see you again. 😭

    This piece of music means so much to so many. It brings our connections with humanity and our world close and helps us to reflect. Brian Eno thank you for bringing humanity peace and a piece of music that is so powerful.
