I remember hearing this song in 2007, years ago.. it's still very inspiring and I love this video.... it might not be much but I still appreciate you posting it. With all my heart, thank you.

[@colorwhirl]

Same, safe to say this is one of my all time favorite pieces of music.

[@camarodue]

perfection in its greatest moments

[@luigipierogrieco]

I was in Brighton last November and could not resist in swimming, but close the newer Pier and thinking to your video with this marvellous music: after more than a decade those images are fix in my mind. Compliments!

[@eightyeightdays]

Hope you had a nice swim Luigi.

[@luigipierogrieco]

Sure! It was great to experience it.

[@eightyeightdays]

Music is a journey, and life is just something that happens along the way.

[@jeriquejerique]

i've been coming back to this song year after year. so beautiful.

[@hector_cosmo]

Just amazing!!

[@GuruPhil_TDO]

One of my favourite music pieces of all time, the shots you've put with it are perfect. Thank you.

[@BloodyLucifa]

[@Pawl2]

i'm very happy that another traceur knows about esmerine.

[@iloveyoubebe]

I love the clouds.

[@TheSupaplum]

I love those guys!

[@boobtrash]

@Melokaliju 'Susanna and the magical orchestra' Their music is kind of melancholic and quiet but at the same time it explodes (or at least what if feels like for me).

[@gekrepten]

I remember hearing this song a few years ago for the first time. Things were very different then. Lovely movie you have here; I enjoyed reading your blog post about your experience.

[@TheDarkRose1]

Very beautiful !
I lov it so !!!

[@0hiddenme]

[@Mucalytic]

[@TheKa89]

Zoe Keating is another good listen too, if you're interested in music like this. :-)
Beautiful film, btw, this is one of my favourite songs. Love your work. :-)

[@michincuako]

ok, thank you very much for your time ;D

[@ChrisWilliams-hs3jm]

wonderful.

[@Drewb18c1]

Because the members of Esmerine were involved with Godspeed and both bands are on the same label: constellation records

[@SphereStack]

Like nectar and ambrosia for your mind.

[@rubennunes]

Nice one!

[@Cherabreena]

Very beautiful video. It really touched something inside of me. I love your choice of music, so intense.
Your videos are very symbolic.
I lack words...

[@Snowcloak_]

The moment of embrace after infinite solitude

[@agagpatatra]

Amazing.You are
professional. ^^

[@marcferro]

This video is a marvel.
Is it birds flying by at 1:03 & then 1:23 & again 1:35 or just pixels on my screen? (I know the answer, since they are both)
The story behind it is a miracle, too. Thanks God you are so fit and still here, sharing your poetry with us.
Reminds me of an afternoon in the Mediterranean when I decided to swim towards the sunset, and was so far from the shore I had to be rescued by a boat.
Thanks for sharing, brother.

[@Melokaliju]

Does anybody know an artist who makes a lot of more sound like this? something? whatever,or symply other songs, just tipp me!
really enjoy listenning to this....

[@eightyeightdays]

Esmerine are members of godspeed, and the album this track is from is called Aurora.

[@eightyeightdays]

It's a place called Brighton on the south coast of England. That's the old pier in the background.

[@eightyeightdays]

Yes.

[@Drewb18c1]

The description of the song is "esmerine - why she swallows bullets and stones"
Esmerine = band
why she swallows bullets and stones = song
This isn't godspeed

[@bobbyconditioning]

wow :o

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

Goood.

[@Salobatera]

sólido surrealismo

[@morrococoy]

[@Liveintheadventure]

I wish they would put this song on iTunes. :( I really want it.

[@destructionblade]

very nice video,
even better music got an idea where i can get it from without paying too much ,
in germany they cost a load and the online store isn´t really cheaper

[@ednolbed]

@Melokaliju check out Rachel's. check out Sylvain Chauveau. and check some of the minimalism of Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt...

[@gumpgarbonzo]

Check out the group God is an Astronaut.

[@rdum4126]

@Melokaliju try Zoe Keating for Cello... DId you hear the collab between Esmerine and Patrick Watson?

[@basantasapkota1500]

Depression reloaded

[@yourtruthwithin]

Did you film this, eightyeightdays? :)

[@Drewb18c1]

are you serious?
there are tons of videos like this...it's just so you can enjoy the music for free and preview albums that you might decide to buy

[@Drewb18c1]

damn, actually I see where you're coming from. i guess there's some sort of metaphor to the guy going out to sea.

[@CrzndlSndr]

@Melokaliju Balmorhea and Ludocio Einaudi

[@eightyeightdays]

It may not be exactly what you're looking for but check out Sunwrae here on youtube, she's a hidden gem. I'm planning on making a film for one of her tracks at some point.

[@michincuako]

of which album by GODSPEED YOU.. is this from?

[@joseadrian89]

rafael anton irisarri, clogs hope you like them

[@blueup05]

@thechickenpicker you're kinda mixing'em wrong:) post-rock is only a genre with lots of subgenres.

[@victormortis]

a lot of post-rock stuff... Set Fire To Flames, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Yndi Halda, Saxon Shore, Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start... search around. :)

[@ice_chariot]

Reminds me of Balmorhea.

[@TheGreatEmpicus]

you do...in your imagination..seriously..
