Wake Up Calls was created over a nine year period, using recordings of bird song featured on the red and amber lists of endangered British birds (with the exception of a Robin and a Blackbird, which aren’t endangered - yet).

If I understood correctly, I think Cosmo just remixed a bunch of owl calls/sounds, the species of owls he used are in the desc :>
Welcome to the owl kingdom, you will now be judged for your crimes
They don't call a group of owls a parliament for nothing :)
That sounds like a tagline for a book!

*nervously hides vodka*
sIR IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK-
I'M JUST A 21 YEAR OLD DWARF I SWEAR
HIG-
Hoot
I read a very wholesome, essay then the comment right after is just "hoot"
Hoot hoot
friend: hey what's you're favorite cosmo sheldrake song
me: *can't remember song name so thinks of lyrics*
me: who
friend: you know, cosmo sheldrake. What's you're favorite song
me: *who*
*who who*
Also i hate to be that person but... your* :>
What's "you are" favorite Cosmo Sheldrake song
Dude, you deaf? How do you not remember-
*WHOOOOOOOO*
I read this as it got to the long “whoooo” at 2:05 😭
This has such a beautiful hidden world sound to it, almost like a "You're deep in a supernatural forest type of tone." I love it so much!
I think owl be listening to this song in repeat for a while. I get a hoot out of it.
Hoo do you think you are, spouting puns so fowl
These puns are quite the hoot! Owl I get over these puns! Sure they give me a good hoot yet they are quite fowl. My laughing will cause quite the chirp! .....Oh god. Hoo do I think I am?!
help... the puns... they consuming mEeEEE-
Owl get out while i still can.
W a i t -
I'm going to vomit your hair and bones out of me like an owl later if you don't shut the up
I'm torn between thinking of Guardians of Ga'Hoole and an abandoned amusement park that's been overtaken by owls.
This is the correct response
Its both at the same time. The tree got too crowded so the flock had to split. Some to the Human mainland, while the rest remained home.
*adds The Owl House to the mix*
uhhh…. The pure ones???? I mean they DID overtake an abandoned castle
and St. Aggie's@@moonlightbirdy
This feeling of ethereal , dread, yet oddly charming nostalgia has me captivated. Why am I surprised? It's the genius of Cosmo Sheldrake. His tone reminds me of Chris Garneau and Evelyn Evelyn in a way, but his tone is all his own. A perfect 'lullaby' indeed.
I want to cry. I don't know why. I don't know exactly how I feel. You're a genius and I'm very frustrated to have to write in English, because I can't say to you exactly how your work is art. You arrived to incorporate the nature so well in your song, it's more than music. It's a story. We can feel that there's is more behind, taste the emotions. Each time, you arrived to mess up my soul and I just feel... Alive. Thank you. Really.
Damn, we got a scholar
@@gonloburdee111 lol
This was a lovely comment! For someone who doesn’t speak English well, you did a very good job
That was beautifuly written Just as this song what a great compliment to his masterpiece
I understand everything you said, language can be a barrier. But a feeling from a song can be felt in every country on earth.
another masterpiece yet again Cosmo, has almost an otherworldly feeling to it, like a swamp-like ecosystem with creatures wildly different to our own, but somehow the same... or maybe even a forgotten town reclaimed by a mysterious force of nature... I like to daydream while listening to your songs haha, its wonderful❤
This would make the most amazing, dark trap remix... this song is insanely awesome.
Dude. That's EXACTLY how I would describe. I'm in looooove with their sound and OWLS are my Spirit animal! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
No offense but hell yeah to this whimsical bop
How would that be offensive, my friend?
You took deep breaths, preparing yourself as you set foot into the forest. You weren't sure how long you would be gone; the forest went on for miles. The sunlight barely reaches through the thick canopy, illuminating the ground with a soft glow. You look up, and the owls greet you with strong, piercing eyes. A warm welcome, or ill omen? You won't ever know. With a renewed sense of determination, you venture further in. There are ancient carvings on the old trees, telling stories of their culture, faded and aged with time. They all have owls on them.
You take a look back to see your progress, but the forest looks as if it rearranged itself, the path muddled with bushes and trees that weren't there before. You finally get the hint.
You won't leave. Not yet.
Somewhere, in the distance, you could hear the Owl's Song.
This is my aesthetic right here
@@googleaccount2288 mood.
May I continue?
This is beautiful
Reading this with the song playing in the background gave me chills... beautiful....
It’s weird to describe this song. It’s as if you got lost in a forest and owls guide you to a forbidden land no one is allowed to go.
They all keep on whispering about the ‘lord and master’ and the ‘chosen one’, glimmering eyes staring at you.
Fog surrounds the area, you can’t see anything but the shadows of the quiet birds.
You hear the sounds of your loved ones calling out to you, somewhere, somehow.
You rub your eyes once the fog lifts but..
..it was all a dream.
Time to add this whole album to my very small collection of "songs about endangered and extinct animals" along with the Mountain Goat's Deuteronomy 2:10. As someone in the biology field I ADORE your music. From the amazing instrumentation featuring instruments that don't often get a spotlight outside of orchestral pieces to the SCIENTIFIC WONDER you add into your music. It's WILD how detailed many of your songs are lyric-wise about the natural world and yet still flow without sounding forced. it's incredible and I am mesmerized
What a beautifully somber song... really captures the hopelessness of watching beautiful animals go extinct right before your eyes. Feels like wandering through a forest full of critically endangered animals, knowing its doomed to destruction, or sitting under a tree listening to the last of a species call out and get no response.
I love owls, and I love cosmo sheldrake
Today is a good day
Agreed.
i saw the title and i clicked immediately
edit: this song is such a hoot
Take your fuckin like and leave.
What is hoot??
Babylon Redsworth excuse me sir could you point me to the door first
Nice
Wheres my bleach
This makes me imagine some young, lost traveler wanders into some lost & forgotten forest, the more he wanders the dsrker it gets.
So atmospheric!! Like being half asleep in a forest💚
Oooh, sounds like what you hear in movies with a creepy old forest.
Nice.
I am an owl therian and i clicked on this so fast lmao, i love this so much
Eee yes this gives me the strongest owl shifts ive ever had (i dont get owl shifts as much since my main theriotype is a husky))
how very haunting....atmospheric...I want to write a story based on this immediately.
Edit: when did this start getting likes? thank you!
Sierra T. I could easily join you, I'm thinking a horror fantasy.
@@ryderdraws168 hmmmm...a very grim and angsty horror fantasy??
Sierra T. Mhm. The kind that could give nightmares.
Any room for me to join?
@@ryderdraws168 mmm absolutely!
I've used my extreme philosophical skills to determine that this song is about an owl.
same my friend. many others lack the gift of to determine such.
I LOVE THIS! I WORSHIP OWLS, and as an owl lover this feeeeeeeels like an owl in London in the late 1700s, I imagine it's watching dark shadows moving about in tall hats and long overcoats......maybe there's a circus off in the distance seen in the last shot - then closes on the owl.
You guys music writes stories in my head. Please don't stop!!!!!!!
Call it fate, but this released in the midst of my owl obsession resurfacing
Feeling Chilly same !!!
@@froggieman5062 same here lol
Never before has there been music made with such talent that it can seamlessly travel a listener to the environment of their choice, and the sounds progress, are removed and added like you’re moving through the environment into a new area with different natural noises. At least for me, many of these songs transfer me to a completely new world; turn the lights off, stay up late, let your creative inhibitions loose with tiredness, and dream awake in bed to Cosmo’s work.
‘Dream awake in bed’ I like that, I like that a lot ima hafta write a poem involving that sometime-
if there were a sequel movie of The Legend of The Guardians, this music would greatly harmonize, giving life to a sad, fearful or sorrow scene
MICHAEL JACKSON: HEE HEE
OWL SONG: HOO HOO
as soon as i saw the notification i clicked so fast that i broke my arm
i might listen too this before bed its really relaxing and beautiful!!
Flora is a very lucky person to have such a talented man compose for her! (And Flora herself is wonderfully talented!)
Everyone's talking about the vibes this song is giving them, so i'll say my piece.
Every time that sad, haunting call plays, I just think of a lone owl calling out for someone like it, while being the last of its species.
this song makes me feel blissfully alone. like, i am wherever i want, and nobody is here to combat this feeling. beautiful song, cosmo
I absolutely love your music that uses natural sounds. It's such an amazingly creative way to make music. You use just enough recordings and instruments in a perfect balance so that it actually sounds great. That balance seems to be very hard to strike but you always do
+TheBirdNerd hello fellow bird-friend, nice username
One of my favorite interpretations of owl symbolism is to be able to see through the darkness and obscurity to find what must be eliminated, and do so with swiftness and accuracy without disturbing the peace. This song makes it really easy to visualize this creature of feather and talon cutting seamlessly through an all-consuming night, using its wisdom and power to find its target and deal one careful, perfect blow.
This song makes me feel unsafe, like I’m in a dark, grey world. I’m far from home, and I can’t get back. I’m not in any danger. I’m just afraid.
owls are my favourite creatures, and my name is conicidentally also Cosmo, and this song in particular has such specific vibes i can't put into words but its wondrous and incredible and magical
🦉
this is perfect for a D&D campaign I'm doing! I'm definitely going to use this for when the party is in a forest or when an NPC is dumping exposition on them.
oh gosh! a heart from the man himself! thank you mr. sheldrake!
@@missycat7598 you're so lucky haha
You posted this right when I thought "Huh, I'm bored, I could right a short story right now" and while hearing this the inspiration hit me, so thank you
Oh god I said "right" instead of "write"
This sounds like it could be in a video game
man cosmo! i love the runes of your bird-themed songs, they always sound so beautiful and kind of melancholy and sad. i think it says a lot about how species are going extinct while still slapping at the same time
This just reminds me of night walks, alone. The gloom and tranquil silence hanging over everything like mist. The dark shadows looking like lines made with the finest inking pen, with the finest black known to anyone. The lonely glow of the golden lights, windows of energy that emanate an ethereal aura. Being alone and the delicious taste of solitude, while all the time you're being lost in the strange world that swallows you up so that you're never to be seen again. No one will see your walk. No one will know what you thought. No one will know anything about what happens on your night walk.
Found this looking for owl songs for my dungeons and dragons character and absolutely fell in love with the whole album. Never heard anything else like it, it's magical
This song got me through an awful freshman year. I'd play it Everytime we were allowed to listen to music, and it absolutely helped me gobless
weird and wonderful, melancholic and lonely yet playful. beautiful, thank you very much. this song makes me feel like i'm alone in a swamp, following the mystical call and strange glowing light
Cosmo you are my favorite person on this planet earth and whatever other mystical planet you are from
Do you ever hear a tune that you really needed to hear? This filled that sad lil emptiness I was longing to fill for quite a long while. Thank you, cosmo, I really needed this
Cosmo sheldrake Is just an amazing role model for artists everywhere
I love that his music sometimes sounds like a forgotten circus in the woods
There's something nostalgic, primitive maybe, in a spiritual way. How lovely
This tune just pulls you into this otherworldly place, I love it
Feels like a tune caused by wind whistling through some trees. And a young curious adventurer discovering a terrible long kept secret in the woods
This is so soothing. Reminds me of the late nights spent at my grandmas house on the countryside; with all these owls and crickets making noise all around while we were sitting by the fireplace in the garden
I didn’t see that it was cosmo sheldrake, but when I realized it was I was like “well of course it is, becuase it’s amazing”
oh well here is another song to add to my halloweeny heart!
I've just discovered this piece on Spotify and I love it! It's haunting, whimsical and sad all in one. Beautiful piece that makes you think!
The Secret of Kells vibe is strong with this one
listen to this in a minecraft swamp biome at night for full effect.
These songs are dropping like flies
Gives me even more appreciation for the beauty of owls
YOU ARE MY IDOL I LOVE YOUR CREATIVE SONGS AND HOW YOU EXPLAIN SO MUCH PASSION IN YOUR SONGS THEY MAKE ME HAPPY AND SAD IN A GOOD WAY. YOU DESERVE MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE. YOUR AMAZING. I LOVE YOU. BYE. 👌❤️
I cry so much after deep conversation with someone. Then, I hear this song and feel better. Thank you Cosmo. I really mean it.
The barn owl is just *chef kiss*
owls fill the forest i live in. they call to me when i try to sleep, and land on the deck outside my window. they first arrived when i buried a lovely barred owl in the mossy forest a minute’s walk from my door. now they’re a staple in the ambient noise that surrounds the nighttime.
i’m moving houses and i have to leave it. they don’t like it just as much as me. they’ve told me so.
i think they’ll follow me.
It's damn fascinating. I really like this melody, I periodically hear it between the noise of the city and the night. It often plays silently in my head like a hallucination, with the only exception being that I can't hear the owl's cry.
It's a cry for help, a shriek in fear, a wail of mourning. They are dying by our hands, and yet we are the only ones who can save them from ourselves
This song reminds me of the book Gahoole so majestic in so many ways I can't explain
Three types of comments
1) I’ve been listening to this on repeat omg it’s so good
2) omg i fell asleep to this so calming!
3) P U N
4) A whole wattpad story
Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
Another piece of art, you are amazing Cosmo, thank youuu
i came here for The Moss but this is awesome.
Cosmos songs can only be described as if the world inside dr Seuss’s night paintings were taken over by the fae king but they still kept their mysterious and magical nature. Cosmo sheldrake truly is one of the greatest artist of this century
Today is my first Cosmo Sheldrake experience, and I am thoroughly enchanted.
You find yourself in a strange place, and though you can tell you’re still on earth, this place seems different, as if you’re in a dreamscape that seems a little more real than normal. the night is cool, though not uncomfortably so. a light breeze carries with it a hint of song, and following the melody you find a clearing, in the trees surrounding which are dozens of not hundreds of all sorts of owls, singing. The area is lit up with the glow of numerous fireflies, some of which are even blue and purple, floating about as if to the owl’s song.
The song seems to be repeating over and over but, at the same time, continues to change, and you can’t help but him with the melody, swaying a bit, perhaps going so far as do dance,
To the Owl Song.
I love how eerie it sounds! Honestly wish you made soundtracks for films too, Cosmo!!!
such a sad yet amazing song.
the little squawks sound so sad and lonely.
The deep breath sounds like air escaping already dead lungs again and again.
Wow.
the use of those continuous thirds is just something i've never even thought of beforehand... wow. this is amazing
Me: I only listen to music with lyrics that are Deep and Insightful ™
Cosmo Sheldrake:
Cosmo: *insert hooting noises*
Me: 😔✊🏾😭
this is so fucking gorgeous and peaceful
also not gonna lie, i couldn't hear the barn owl at first, mainly because i forgot what they sounded like, and when i looked it up, i was very surprised
imo barn owls are like... so elegant looking
too bad they sound like t h e d e v i l
This song is perfect to me! I'm both terrified of and fascinated by owls. This tune feels like the perfect mix of those 2 feelings! Great as always!
i heard this 4 times today. it is far to hard for the human mind to see how good a song this is.
hoo hoo
now 7 XD
Such a beautiful song.. I recognise many of these calls, and it's odd to remember some of said calls I'm lucky to have ever heard in the wild. Such a whimsical yet sorrowful feeling this piece gives off, especially accompanied by such a beautifully haunting illustration
Really outdid yourself with this one Cosmo
Keep doing what you're doing
This is eerie and actually transported me into a different world when I just listened and remained silent. I love it.
Two songs in one day I'm happy yaaaaaay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It reminds my somehow of the soundtrack of Nausicaa Valley of the wind. I think it Transports the same feeling
Its beautiful, I get shivers everytime I listen
That low pitched humming bass line is very comforting to me
This goes so well with the rain I can hear outside my window! O.O It’s so peaceful and sweet
this really is a great lullaby
I really love your music!! It inspires me greatly, This is marvelous!!
This is amazingly atmospheric
It's ominous, it's sad, it's kind of soothing and it has a perfect rythm/melody to it. I adore!
Super awesome and beautifully haunting
I love this song so so much, thank you for finally releasing it here ❤️
this reminds me of an abandoned amusement park thats been inhabited with the forests surrounding it ,, like the faint music still plays sometimes as birds chirp and pick at it
This song brings me into a world that isn't this one, it's one of the absolute most immersive songs I've ever heard.
When you’re one with the night owls, exact opposite of day hawks, and you realize that being an avian of the night, can be quite a hoot.
I think I'm gonna play this when my mom and sister start blasting music and it's my turn to pick a song.
First comment!
I love the spooky vibes of thjis song. It went perfectly woth what i was srawing. I love your music so much
