- Lyrics:
Too blind to know your best.
Hurrying through the forks without regrets.
Different now, every step feels like a mile.
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Don't know which way to turn.
Every trifle becoming big concerns.
All this time you were chasing dreams,
without knowing what you wanted them to mean.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Who cares in a hundred years from now.
All the small steps, all your shitty clouds.
Who cares in a hundred years from now.
Who'll remember all the players.
Who'll remember all the clowns.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
So what does this really mean.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Cycling trivialities.
Cycling trivialities

A funny story on how I found Jose Gonzalez: In highschool (2009) I made up an alias one day to mess with one of my teachers who we all knew was a massive stoner and had a terrible memory. So I used get two work sheets, write my name on one and then Jose Gonzalez on the other one and turn them both in. In the grade book I wrote his name down and would always check him as being present in class when the teacher was out. One day I was absent and the teacher was handing papers back and couldn't find Jose Gonzalez or me, and the kid who sat next to me gave away my ruse. The next day I walk into class and the teacher greets me as Jose Gonzalez. He got a good kick out of it and said that he knew the name was associated with a musician he enjoyed, so I looked up Jose Gonzalez later after school and was quite pleased with my choice of alias.
That’s an amazing story! I quite like it!
Nice story, thanks for sharing 😎👍
such a cool story😂
I have to admit my daughter's taste in music makes me proud.
It should
Jose really helps me out of my worst times. Listening to him is like washing away all your stains.
Those songs are just cleansing. I dont think I could live without this guy
+Vinylix Agreed. I couldn't put it any better.
+Sisseru i feel exactly the same
Exactly the same
Same
What kind of stains ;)))))
At one point many years ago I was laying in a hospital bed in the ICU facing multiple surgeries which hopefully might save my life...from Severe Pancreatitis via alcoholism. There I lay in not great condition, but sober...combative and blaring music from the hospital TV in my room (I had access to the wifi). I played a lot of great music. As one does in such a condition...not knowing if you'll be around tomorrow. This song in particular meant more to me than anything else...it brought me peace (mentally). I've lived in my head my whole life and it was nice to hear my inner monologue out loud. Here I am recovered and healthy years later and still so very thankful for this song and quite frankly everything. Much love to everyone, and if anyone is having a hard time out there... just know that life always finds a way of surprising you.
This is my type of music. No other music, no techno BS, just a man and his acoustic guitar...
grr edm is cool too! but hey man and a guitar is as good as a man and his fog
+nicholas cordoba dog*
+PabloPlays What happened to it? So few people appreciate it any more. It's mostly overproduced cookie cutter garbage.
john wrath Agreed.
+PabloPlays Can you take a look at my music 'La Locura De Amarte' and give me your feedback on it? soundcloud.com/subtileos/la-locura-de-amarte-v010. I also have more in my SoundCloud page: soundcloud.com/subtileos/
Been so tired of life lately. This is the first time I have heard this song and it has hit me right in the feels. Thank you José.
How are you feeling now?
Since you didn't answer Vinnie, I'll ask too, how you feeling now?
I think the message Jose is conveying is that we should all calm TF down
Bud?
i just love how nobody fights in the comments its so peaceful for once. jesus i can hear myself think
+Matthew Boutelle you can "hear" yourself think ? in a written comment section ? What ?
Wtf do you mean by that, jerk? This is personally offensive and by golly if I don’t swat back via tapping thumbs on a tiny keyboard to make myself known as a strong, secure individual in the UA-cam comment sections across this wide, wide web.
Freakin’ got you.
a true artist.
I feel like this is the first comments section I have come across where everyone is just chill and understands each other while listening to this beautiful music.
Mostly Strings has (in my experience) the friendliest community on UA-cam. It's really a beautiful thing how mature and respectful the people here are :)
i love that i found mostly strings, i love strings lol
i love how its mostly arpeggio.
Welcome to the good part of youtube!
Love from India. :)
Man, José's music is therapeutic AF! It helps you face whatever pain you have without going insane.
As a person who now values José González's music (this song as well as Hints in particular), I'm going to mention Life Is Strange and how it introduced me to him. Such an amazing artist and writer, cheers DontNod.
this song is strong medicine. it heals and rejuvenates
My brothers wife is dying from cancer . When I talk to him about my life problems …this song pops into my head and I suddenly stop and listen to him talk.
Its the first time i read the comments section on a youtube video and no one is insulting or fighting somebody else. Such is the power of music. Beautiful song which puts our minds to think wether we are enjoying the beauty of life as we ought to. Cheers to everyone and good wishes from Argentina! : )
I found this when I was tired of the same old thing on the radio...I think you find paradise when you just give up and let life take you where it wants you. This is music is my paradise.
And I've never seen this in my life. A game which makes people, so many people search for such beautiful and original songs, not famous, common liked, but these hidden, quiet ones. There's just something so powerful and good about this game..
2010
John Marston riding into Mexico. A memorable time that introduced me to Jose Gonzalez
what a beautiful song. he is a brilliant artist.
There is music and there is Jose Gonzalez - what he does is pure inspiration then we can listen to it. He's magical tbh
This is what the lyrics mean to me.
Inside you have dreams, and even if you don't know what they mean, they end with you being happy. If you let it, the same things will cause stress in your life, over and over; almost like they're following you. It's your choice to let these things bother you; in pursuit of your dreams. If it's to push you, then that's your rational. What if you reach your dreams and it still remains? When it all comes to an end and it's still the same? What I'm saying is, how do you wanna be? The end result of any dream is happiness. You can choose to be happy; now and forever. It can be an infinite loop of happiness, or an ever chasing dream. Let's be happy. Now, and always, or cycling trivialities.
I find nothing happy about the song lol, "cycling trivivalities" basically means the little problems we keep encountering day by day and how people let themselves be dragged down, people who don't have a purpose or meaning will never overcome and eventually be erased and forgotten, but yeah the silver lining would be to break out of that cycle, and find a purpose.
@@StallionFernando yes. This
Jose is one of those artists which sound amazing when listened to while high but when you listen to it sober is so much better!!!
WOW. this song in particular just... REALLY spoke to me, Jose is so damn inspiring
Just beautiful. Please be better to each other.
ich weiss nicht wie oft ich mir schon diesen titel angehört habe, er macht süchtig.
I've found it, oh good lord, the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
first heard this song when we were at a music festival on a mountain and he played this, just him and his guitar. truly something i won't ever forget.
I'm going to be a rebel and say how I was introduced to Jose through his Red Dead Redemption song "Far Away".
I was too, years ago. Then I rediscovered him through Life is Strange. Video Games introduce us to the best music, don't they?
@@takamator agreed
I'll see you guys in a few hours. Right now I have to go take a walk and contemplate life.
where have you gone? it's been more than 3 years! come back home :(
@@mwesigyedavid8674 Let him walk.
So beautiful ! I
***** Life is Strange picture
Tears were running down my cheeks when I heard this live for the first time
He's talking to himself. Mind splits from inner self and realized the beauty of life, thoughts then flow away like "shity clouds"...a "hundred years from now" you understand you've been a passenger the whole time...cycling trivialities. :-) music flows... Voice stops....the rhythm carries you away.
Firsttime I heard this wonderful song as backgroundmusic for a video about the darker sides of MMA. This are the cycling trivialities of the last days of humanity, what rises from them in the form of art, and burries them under its spirit.
Same for me dude. Amazing
dirk müller i also came here after the same video / this song is so beautiful - his daughter crying bothered me :(
Ohhh my God so did I, Just finish watching the video and had to look for this song ASAP
Jake Johnston Good point! But dont worry: we get a lot of acustic brainwash and mind-terror to compensation for this loss.
+Michael E. exactly the same
just seen Jose in birmingham absoulutely amazing
When I'm listening this song I just wanna travel to all around the world
How to breathe:
1. Plan a route around the world
2. Research the best bike for the trip (Tour, MBT, Road, etc.)
3. Build your bike part by part so you know what to do when something inevitably breaks
4. Tell your family you love them, and that you're never actually completely gone
5. Fly to the start of your route
6. Ride, and breathe
If you want to see a great example search Iohan Gueorguiev
Pirate Boy You did exist. Everybody gets forgotten, those with family and friends just a little bit later. But I'll remember you now... every interaction on this planet with any human or animal lets you live in their memory.
Me too ✌🏼
@@pirateboy5657 you exist for yourself. don't be dependent on anyone else's love or attention. the universe is watching out for you.
@@gregwolf1 That is beautiful. Thank you for this valuable thought. Peace brother.
The feels kick in at 2:58 when the heavy guitar starts
Love these songs... Bare bones, sunshine....
I recently discovered Jose, his music soothes me when I am feeling a bit sad. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world
Woah !!!! Gonna watch this amazing personality live in almost 10 days from now :D Excited already :D
To whoever is reading this. Cheers.
compliments ishy
that is actually my nickname, short for Ismaell lol.
My compliments, friend!
Sad as hell...
that face tho
This song is purely beautiful. I can't stop repeating it!
This song centers me.
Finally a song were music is not just an addition to accompangy the vocals, but here it goes the other way around and the vocals are just an addition to the whole song
You should try Sigur ros if you like vocals as an addition to the music. I would start wisth Hoppipolla.
It seems we are friends here! Another forever song shared, I'm not lonely now.
introduced Jose Gonzalez to my mother at the end of her life. Something we will always share till I go.
Masterpiece! Congratulations for this amazing song.
I really needed this today...not just the song, but the general love and heartfelt comments on this. Solidarity and peace really can make a difference. We are a good species it is nice to see us act like it for once.
Same but the lyrics of this song are very melancholic and sad.
Thank you,Mr Gonzales, you keep me goin to work on myself and my music!
still one of the BEST songs ever :)! xo
I need a friend right now to just listen to these songs with. Just to have that love and not need it to be spoken.
i am in tears since i found this channel
Three months later now... How you holding up? Must be hard to cry non stop for three months
RebeccA ZombiE KilleR Well her tearducts would've dried up by now. Unless they didn't, in which case all the skin around her eyes would've disintegrated. Try getting that image out of your mind.
:O
Geez, too late... If you excuse me, I'm just gonna go have nightmares forever now ;3
RebeccA ZombiE KilleR Oh crap, I scared myself :(. Now I can't get that image out of my head.
RebeccA ZombiE KilleR One month later now... How you holding up? Must be hard to have nightmares every night...
Millions of views and I'm just hearing this for the first time. Better late than never!
Wonderful guitar, lyrics and melody. Thanks!
I still love this very much.
i love listening to this song whenever i find myself getting caught up in the little things or particularly down about whats going on in life. the line "who cares in 100 years from now?" always gives me such a strong reminder that it doesn't matter and that time will erase all but the most major of details. it's so freeing.
enjoy your life for the short time you're here :)
Musica que cai bem em todas as horas
+Mariana Orsano Com certeza pequena.
El médico y su ómnibus estaban atascados en un pantano de frijoles refritos
A piece of art!
I just wanted to say, you have great taste in music. I've discovered so many new (to me) songs/artists. I love that! Thank you! ~Stevie
I adooore this song
I miss you guys. John, Mike, Daphne, you guys will always have a place in my heart. Rest well friends and family.
such a smooth and boosting at same time. this has been my favorite song for a while now :)
Come up with some more, like this one.
One of my all time faves,,this disk stayed in my car player for over a year : )
First heard this when Jose uploaded it to his MySpace, oh how time flies....
Esta canciòn me representa en toda su estructura y mistica... Un argentino que vive en suecia y canta en ingles... un hombre universal y simple.
Thanks Todd you were brilliant, very benevolent. Thanks for sharing
I can't help but be remembered of Soap and Skin when I listen to this. It's really beautiful!
This. Song. Kills me.
Se nota tú sangre Argentina, mucha pasión, sería bueno verte nuevamente por estas tierras, genio José.
his music echos in me everytime i listen to his art
Thank you
jose gonzalez is such an incredible artist. few other artists can bring as much emotion out of me.
Great song, good lad.
Love.
love them strings...
Can't believe I just stumbled upon this beautiful song. I knew José González only because of 'Far Away' in Red Dead Redemption, but after hearing this song, I think it's time to listen to his other songs as well :)
Greetings from Germany!
This song always reminds me of that "Life is Strange" scene where she is riding the bus. I know it's "Crosses' that is being played in the scene, but this song also has this melancholic vibe to it. Somehow after listening you feel kind of wholesome, yet still a little bit sad. It can have an effect like the catharsis in the greek theatre had.
ten artysta to odkrycie ;o
and yet being kind, just being kind... is the most meaningful and important thing you can do. You don't need to "be someone", change the world, or be powerful. If you just leave a trail of kindness in the wake of your trivial existence, you did good.
tears of joy every time I hear this
Amazing song. L💜ve it!
love, love, love josé gonzález...
Beautiful music and beautiful voice.
Brought me to tears, just like that.
Great mentality + amazing lyrics + beautiful voice =
Great song
everytime.... This strikes me right in my soul...
Thnx..
This song makes me wanna get up, get in a car, and drive in the middle of nowhere.
Love this song
Beautiful!
Nice Baritone Guitar sound going on there and lovely lyrics and harmonisation.
beautiful......just....beautiful
12 comments? really?
This is such a beautiful song! :)
***** hehe the paradoxon that comes with corrupt music industry :D
If mostly strings released an album or something so that could listen offline I would be the first one to buy it! So relaxed thanks for a destresser after a long day!
this is truly art
this guys...is something else...his lyrics are so honest and full of truth
Yeah is great and soothing to hear! David gray is much like that as well, love his older albums.
This song was well before its time. More people need to heed the words and take a moment to contemplate. Everything comes in cycles and hopefully enough people catch that and keep this vibe going!!!!
Beautiful and peaceful
Such a beautiful song :)
This song always gives me some chills
same
Beautiful...
I thought that he had been saying 'Cycling through reality's' for so long because i listened to this in a playlist, how wrong ive felt to have misheard such a beautiful song.
They say painting can be described with 100 words well jose gonzalez music can be described with 3 words amazing, beautiful. and peaceful
Who else feels so many beautiful emotions when you listen to Jose?
