I’m about to be a Dad for the first time and all I can hear in my head is this melody, This one is for you my Son, I want to meet you and give you all my love.
Me to Daniel I am both afraid and excited at the same time. Like you all I can hear in my head is this melody, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy. I think it's a girl but from how hard it kicks my partner thinks it's a boy. All I know is that this song will make anyone take a step back and view the big picture. I hope you're still listening to it and you and your family are well and enjoying life. BIG LOVE
@@SuperSilverfox81 You don’t have to be affraid. Everything is going to be fine and you’re going to be an excellent dad. I always come back to this whenever I want to feel. Lots of love and positive energy.
There's something utterly transcendent about this music. It's the stuff that comes from a place where there's no distinction between sorrow or joy, tears or laughter. Raw emotion and reflection in the dead of night. Something about this feels like the coda to a life - the last thing someone hears as they reflect on everything they ever were, did or felt - and then at 8:45 it's like you suddenly wake up from the dream that was your life, and head out the door into the light as the dream - your life - gently recedes into the distance.
Thank you for this absolutely gorgeous masterpiece. Finally I was able to cry and process my beautiful amazing mother getting diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I was holding it all in and now after hearing this I can move forward. Appreciate you Jon
I haven't been feeling like myself lately and today I had a mental breakdown in the middle of a crowd of people. Sitting here on a bus with my headphones on, this song is finally calming me down while the day is approaching its end. And I'm thinking, if this is possible ... if there are human beings out there who can create something like this, capable of transcending time and space until it reaches the soul of someone in need of a bit of peace... then this world is not so bad after all. Thank you.
On a bus myself listening to this song for the first time ever. A good friend sent it to me. I buried my best friend on Saturday and am now headed to a VA rehab clinic to get my life back in order. Baby steps.
Whatever you were or are going through, just know, that in later years you'll look back and say, I'm glad I went through tough times and overcame, because it made me who I am today. Best wishes
This track is beautiful, it captures something of the moments before a the sun fades below the horizon, or a warm dusk alone with your thoughts... cant stop listening to it.
This makes me think of our beloved cat Tili, who passed away last week. I love you, Tili. You were the most loving and nurturing cat I've ever had the pleasure of looking after 💙
I always come here when I feel vulnerable, when I give myself permission to feel sad, when I need to heal. Life becomes so fleeting when you review it with this melody in the background. But at the same time it is full of moments, of joy, sadness, loneliness, but always with an air of hope. This melody touches your soul, disarms you, heals you. You start crying and you have a sense of gratitude for being here, for being a part of this experience. There is no time, you think about those who left, those who are still present, but you know deep down that we will all meet again, because love is the only thing that can cross dimensions and we are fortunate to experience it. // Siempre vengo aquí cuando me siento vulnerable, cuando me doy permiso de sentirme triste, cuando necesito sanarme. La vida se vuelve tan efímera cuando la repasas con esta melodía de fondo. Pero al mismo tiempo está llena de momentos, de alegría, de tristeza, de soledad, pero siempre con un aire de esperanza. Esta melodía toca tu alma, te desarma, te sana. Comienzas a llorar y tienes una sensación de agradecimiento por estar aquí, por ser parte de esta experiencia. No hay tiempo, piensas en aquellos que se fueron, en los que siguen presentes, pero sabes en el fondo que todos nos volveremos a reencontrar, porque el amor es lo único que puede atravesar dimensiones y somos afortunados de experimentarlo.
This track is like a magnet to the infirm. I struggle with my own clinical issues and this hits the spot for me, every time. I notice a fair share of people (in this thread) who are happy, also those that are a little heart-sick, or confused, compromised in some way, in pain, or just others that just enjoy beauty. Myself? I am ALL of the aforementioned. Who are you?
Its 2016. It's honestly a beautiful ambientwork. My whole house feels empty.. I couldn't get over the fact that my dad died from a heart attack last year.. I'm only 17.. I stayed happily with my parents and my siblings.. untill everything fell along with it.. I no longer talk to my elder brother for being a douche who actually fought my mom and doesn't work to support the family after dad's demise... I got my mom a job.. she got fired.. I went and spoke to the manager and got her a job again.. I'm honestly still a homeschool kid. hah. after all these, life's still beautiful.. I have a girlfriend who supported me through all these.. after staying 16 years alone.. I finally spent 1 whole year with a person who's a female mirror of me.. there's so much left... I have yet to start a family.. to see little mini versions of her and me...... . I don't know why I'm writing all these here.. but I felt like it...
I don't know why no-one has replied to this. I'm 19 from the UK, and i have had none of these troubles that you have been through, i dont know what i should be saying but at least you know someone read this to this music, "i get it" :) chin up kid and keep it up as your are doing so well
First time stumbling across this video and I just wanted to let you know the power in your words is remarkable. You're a great human and tbh your comment gave me hope. Have a good life and soak it all up.❤️
Every once in a blue moon you see noteworthy comments like this on YT. Hey kid, you're on the right track to be a great human being and of great value to the human race. Good luck on your journey. If I may make a suggestion, look up "Alan Watts" here on YT. His lectures helped me a great deal thru hard times. I think you'll benefit from them too.
I ended my 'career' with this one... it seemed fitting as the only way to set off in to the sun by. The most beautiful track I ever did hear and lord knows I've heard a few
"If you are depressed, you are living in the past" "If you are anxious, you are living in the future" "If you are at peace, you are living in the present"
Begin. The repetitive background of soul grinding everyday work life, overlaid with a beautiful life force that is withering and yearning for a higher existence, with a deeper purpose of meaning.
Gorgeous interpretation of the song, one which I would wholeheartedly agree with. It also coincides with the lyrics "you've answered my prayer for a worthless diamond in our carbon lives" and "you said forever was unkind".
this reminds me of a moment in my life in which I had to let go of some things in order to grow. The music sets the time, moment and the overcome so I can have now what the title of the song says "immunity" towards it. Anyone relates this song to some moment in their lives?
Exactly the same scenario. I had to move out of a bad place in my life to some place much more positive. Thing is, I thought I was going to leave it all behind, but what actually happened is that I grew as a person and learned a whole lot more.
I have been bullied since I was 4 years old up untill I was about 18/19th. Even teachers made fun of me. I am autistic and 10 years ago I had a psychosis that was even worse then all those years of bullying it happened because of medication. Now I work 4 days a week for 32 hours, I write poetry have loads of friends, been meditating for 10 years now. And I can finally say since 3-4 years I love myself and I am whole and worthy. Now because of lockdown there is no business for restaurants and such . But I still do a lot of other stuff and my work. After all those shitty years which involves probably about 66% of my life or more I feel proud that my customers love me and complain to colleagues" that they are at my work place and that I am free hahah cause they went specially to see me. I am now 33 years old. Unlike what common opinions is for me getting older is making life much much better, my young years were horrible compared to being an adult. So if your 15 , 18, or whatever age THINGS will get better. Stay safe and strong, people love you! This song is so beautiful. I feel blessed to have seen him live few years ago , it was amazing
"You've answered my prayer for a worthless diamond in our carbon lives You said you'd always be fine And you said you'd never stop coming 'round in the dead of night You said forever was unkind"
#danthemanplaylists LYRICS: You've answered my prayer for a worthless diamond In our carbon lives You said it'd always be fine And you said you'd never stop Coming 'round in the dead of the night You said forever was unkind

Countering the despair and emotional vulnerability this song exudes with the familiarity and comfort that comes with the smell of slow-cooking food actually does sound like a fulfilling and pleasant time. :)
No idea why, but this song makes me think of an elderly women either coming home after the funeral of her husband that she was and still is desperately in love with. Or waking up one morning to find her whole life has flashed before her and she didn't do the things she really wanted to in her life. If you cried while listening to this song, you're not alone. ;~;
Every single time i listen to this song track it takes me to talk with mother earth to explain how “we” the most greediest being exploiting her and in the end she is the one who is that much generous and compassionate to let you do it . And how sadly one day we will be regretting it
You go to Johns Hopkins for medical treatment, while I go to Jon Hopkins for spiritual treatment. Wish healthy mind and body to all people in this sick society.
2010.. 17 years old, sitting in my dad's car in a parking lot waiting for my appointment with Corey, a psychologist. I wanted to discover some new music while I waited, somehow I wrote down Jon Hopkins on the back of this slip of paper which was marked with the date and location of my appointment. I put the slip of paper in my wallet where it remained still for 7 years until today. I knew the slip of paper had been sitting in there all these years, but I never really took the time to look up the music that I had written down on it until now, and this is some good music m8
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Your story makes no sense at all. Just say you like the song instead of making some elaborate story about why you like it.
After five years... I still come back to this song to reflect on all the changes in my life, to find peace and comfort. Thank you, Jon & King Creosote, it's magical as ever
Few people can mix: * poignant Phillip Glass style piano plodding * soaring Sigur Ros melodies * found sounds of ratcheting machinery as syncopated background sub-percussion like Jon Hopkins #dailysong
It's what this guy does best. Going outside the box. Doing what no one else has done before. True artistry. This guy knows what the fuck he's doing. His electronic music is in stark contrast to most as he is not a random ass mouse clicking person clicking around trying to find something that fits the song. He takes an ordinary object and uses it in either a normal or weird way, chops the sound all up of it and mixes it in with a bunch of other elements typically not found with electronic music. The results are extraordinary.
@@goldjoinery I wouldn't say that. Glass is something else entirely, and from a different time period as well. What's cool is that, since he is more a composer than a musician, many people play and interpret his music.
@@bluejeans5456 Thank you! This music is lovely and undeniably the work of an intelligent creative individual, but some of the comments here about how he is better and more original than anyone else are just plain disingenuous.
This song is so nostalgic. Even from the first time I heard it. The percussion reminds me of a swinging wooden screen door in a tropical storm. It was nostalgic the first time I heard it.
i think the reason i like this song is that it sounds like an unprofessional work, but, like, a *really good* unprofessional work? i mean, the drum sounds don't sound processed, the melody is formed from just repetitive piano bits... but it all comes together really well, so it sounds like it's from the heart.
That's a pretty interesting take because in contrast Hopkins is one of the very best at production that to call him unprofessional would almost be like a form of heresy.
It's not that it sounds unprofessional as in "bad", but it has a rougher, less polished tone. Which is really good here! Hopkins deviates from his normal style, which is refined as hell, to give something a bit more raw and emotional.
I have seen Hopkins live as DJ or just playing. It was fanastic. All his songs are so good the tougher/more techno ones. But this one is so beautiful and emotional I keep crying.His album Immunity from 2013 is just a true master piece, that's my opinion.
one of the most important songs in my life ever. all the happiest times i've ever had in my life now have this song playing in the background as i think of them retrospectively feeling hollow and broken.
And all at once all our problems collectively subsided. A new breath inhaled as we look around our environment; eyes singing with hope as it takes in the beautiful colors and within this moment we realize.. we are alive. Our hearts delicately pumping blood throughout our bodies since the first moment we were conceptualized. Now the choice is yours, will you collect the light like a fluttering butterfly drifting into your hands, will you share this experience like the colorful wings have to you?
How on earth i stumble across epic sounds like this is beyond me, it is simply divine and just breathtaking. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Apr 2021 🙏❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤🙏
I can definitely sense a DMT space kinda vibe from this, it just feels like home. Jon might've had a trip that bled into his sounds, and if he did, he nailed it, if he didn't, he nailed it regardless.

this song saved me back in 2013. whenever i come back to visit, it's like seeing an old friend who means more to me than i can describe
I’m about to be a Dad for the first time and all I can hear in my head is this melody, This one is for you my Son, I want to meet you and give you all my love.

Yes Nils Frahm evokes the same feeling for me. He talks about wanting to create his music at the intersection between positive and negative emotion.
Oh my god, thank you for perfectly articulating the exact way I feel as well.
very well said!
Immune to the passage of time. As it was intended to be. Perfectly encapsulated.
Thank you for this absolutely gorgeous masterpiece. Finally I was able to cry and process my beautiful amazing mother getting diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I was holding it all in and now after hearing this I can move forward. Appreciate you Jon

Free555ify so true. Where you at?
If you are a non physical, nebulous entity, you are living in the 5th dimension where time doesn’t exist in a linear fashion. I’m not ok.
If you are derealized, time doesn’t exist at all.
Tom Arrow, Must be quite disorienting. Reality is overrated anyways.
spot on ;-)

Le Dan Theman Playlists beautiful
This is such a beauty. I want this to be played at my funeral.
Me too.
what a beautiful and peaceful departure that would be.
I adore this. I love the sound of the grand piano pedal at the beginning... I haven't heard anything this thought provoking and well rounded in a long, long time. Can't wait to hear more from Mr Hopkins. Gurt lush.
music and sound that provoke emotions and emulates beauty. This pieces organicness is what defines it and causes it to be so heartfelt. truly amazing.
1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2) Combine olive oil, salt and pepper with the carrots.
3) Place on a flat surface to ensure an even cooking time.
4) Roast for 30 mins or until desired doneness.
wat
Think of the smell of a stew with this music. Sounds like a good combo to me
Countering the despair and emotional vulnerability this song exudes with the familiarity and comfort that comes with the smell of slow-cooking food actually does sound like a fulfilling and pleasant time. :)
I burned them.
My favorite Jon Hopkins' pieces are the ones using Piano. Breathe The Air, Abandon Window, Immunity...
Thank you for sharing Haznote..it resonates
Heard this on BBC Radio 6 this eve while drinking wine with friends... Bliss x
No idea why, but this song makes me think of an elderly women either coming home after the funeral of her husband that she was and still is desperately in love with. Or waking up one morning to find her whole life has flashed before her and she didn't do the things she really wanted to in her life. If you cried while listening to this song, you're not alone. ;~;
Every single time i listen to this song track it takes me to talk with mother earth to explain how “we” the most greediest being exploiting her and in the end she is the one who is that much generous and compassionate to let you do it . And how sadly one day we will be regretting it
This is just simply beautiful.
This track stops me dead in mine every time i listen to it. Seems to put a whole lot of things into perspective...
You go to Johns Hopkins for medical treatment, while I go to Jon Hopkins for spiritual treatment. Wish healthy mind and body to all people in this sick society.
Clever
I see what you did there. I serendipitously became a Jon Hopkins fan when searching for Johns Hopkins hospital.
@@MrMusic238 ha that's amazing!
Great comment :)
...especially these days. John Hopkins made people sick. Event 201.
This remain me of the head space I use to experience back in the days of "Music for Films" by Mr Eno....very nice Jon.
This song don't have greats guitar's solos and a great voice but, for me, is so much emotional that 1000000 popular songs. you're great Hopkins!
Well it does have King creosote in and I think his voice is beautiful
2010.. 17 years old, sitting in my dad's car in a parking lot waiting for my appointment with Corey, a psychologist. I wanted to discover some new music while I waited, somehow I wrote down Jon Hopkins on the back of this slip of paper which was marked with the date and location of my appointment. I put the slip of paper in my wallet where it remained still for 7 years until today. I knew the slip of paper had been sitting in there all these years, but I never really took the time to look up the music that I had written down on it until now, and this is some good music m8

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Your story makes no sense at all. Just say you like the song instead of making some elaborate story about why you like it.

Sehr schöne Musik.So klangvoll , gleichzeitig zart und ruhig! Toll gespielt!
john hopkins Immunity amazing ! - sunset - sunrise such a hauntingly beautiful tune - i dance and feel all souls existing in this universe as ONE
After five years... I still come back to this song to reflect on all the changes in my life, to find peace and comfort. Thank you, Jon & King Creosote, it's magical as ever
Jon Hopkins is an important achievement of humanity
There's something about this song that makes me bawl my eyes out every time I listen to it
a perfect song for these turbulent times.
Yes 🙏
For me, the vocals make this song.
Scotland's King Creosote on vocals..
the asleep version of this song destroys me beyond explanation over and over and over again
Jon Hopkins goes Sigur Rós O_O awesome closing track, just pure ambient gorgeusness
don't compare the greatness of Jon Hopkins with Sigur Ros.
I mean, Sigur Rós is one of my favorite bands so I'm not being demeaning at all. And this track does sound (to me at least) something off of Valtari.
@@PSViz-Streams what's wrong with Sigur Ros?
@@Matt463634 They deserve more exposure! Vanilla Sky brought me to them.
Major Sigur Ros vibes here.
Absolutely beautiful song, from a gorgeous album.

* soaring Sigur Ros melodies
* found sounds of ratcheting machinery as syncopated background sub-percussion

This song is so nostalgic. Even from the first time I heard it. The percussion reminds me of a swinging wooden screen door in a tropical storm. It was nostalgic the first time I heard it.
Similar. Sounds like wheels clacking along a raggedy railroad track.
i think the reason i like this song is that it sounds like an unprofessional work, but, like, a *really good* unprofessional work? i mean, the drum sounds don't sound processed, the melody is formed from just repetitive piano bits... but it all comes together really well, so it sounds like it's from the heart.
That's a pretty interesting take because in contrast Hopkins is one of the very best at production that to call him unprofessional would almost be like a form of heresy.
It's not that it sounds unprofessional as in "bad", but it has a rougher, less polished tone. Which is really good here! Hopkins deviates from his normal style, which is refined as hell, to give something a bit more raw and emotional.
i know what you mean. he definitely did that on purpose, to add more character and 'realness' to the song I imagine, it's beautiful
2023, and come back here. Time doesn't count listening to this.
Jon you magnificent bastard
edit: 4:54 is where tears start flowing
I have seen Hopkins live as DJ or just playing. It was fanastic. All his songs are so good the tougher/more techno ones. But this one is so beautiful and emotional I keep crying.His album Immunity from 2013 is just a true master piece, that's my opinion.
love the overall sound of this track.
Not sure if it evokes a feeling of happiness or sadness. I guess a bit of both.
I love listening to the sound of car washes with light piano.
I cherish this beautiful piece of art :)
Came across this just as my life is falling into place absolute wonderful piece of art
Today is a little happier than the last time I heard this song. The last time, I was alone.
one of the most important songs in my life ever. all the happiest times i've ever had in my life now have this song playing in the background as i think of them retrospectively feeling hollow and broken.
Its nice to hear King Creosote's voice in a JH's project...sounds like hope for another collaborations between them.
And all at once all our problems collectively subsided. A new breath inhaled as we look around our environment; eyes singing with hope as it takes in the beautiful colors and within this moment we realize.. we are alive. Our hearts delicately pumping blood throughout our bodies since the first moment we were conceptualized. Now the choice is yours, will you collect the light like a fluttering butterfly drifting into your hands, will you share this experience like the colorful wings have to you?
this song makes me cry of happiness and sadness at the same time. it's like I'm dying and going to the next life
I cried while listening to this I hope life gets better
My favourite 2013 album!
c'est magnifique, cette musique est un pure moment de détente.
What an experience. What a mix of sensations and emotions. Out of this world! Thank you so much to the creator 🙏🙏
This song can be described in one word "Longing"
It really does make me yearn for changes in my life. Scrolling through comments and this hits the nail on the head for me
Also...melancholy
I think this connects me to my higher self 😁

Listen to this song while the sun sets. So peaceful and beautiful.
This song just transports you to another place. Beautiful
A lot of images happening in my head, getting together to make a lot of stories!
Love this song so much, especially when King Creosote comes in with this beautiful voice. I loved their album Diamond Mine.

So chilled, beautiful
It takes you to a different level in the Galaxy....so Simple but so much complex
Amazingly, I do feel better knowing I have 'heard immunity'
That is a fucking golden pun good job omg
On paper something like this sounds like it'd be kinda creepy and eerie but it just sounds so warm, gentle, peaceful, safe, and emotive.
was listening to this while jogging towards a sunset.. pretty magical
My all time favorite song from Jon Hopkins
Kenny Anderson’s vocals and Jon Hopkins music. Amen.
Excellent music!!!
Giving me goosebumps every time, I love its peacefullness!
AMAZING!
Perfect for writing!
Thank you Above and Beyond
Amo este track!
I can definitely sense a DMT space kinda vibe from this, it just feels like home. Jon might've had a trip that bled into his sounds, and if he did, he nailed it, if he didn't, he nailed it regardless.
