Actually, post awareness confusions is literally libets delay backwards and slightly tweaked, looking up “libets delay reversed” and going to 0:12 on one of the videos will give you the start of “post awareness confusions” not many know this!
Now I finally know who Benjamin is! Wow that one was annoying me, I was wondering if we would ever get an explanation, idk maybe a grandson but now there's context!
@@Joesgamesntech Also, "libet's delay" is the scientific term used for the phenomenon in which one consciously feels a touch approximately 0.5 seconds after they have been physically touched. It is one of the findings that structured the idea that our memories and consciousness are directly linked to our physical brain, and not an external entity such as a soul. Meaning, if parts of our physical brain are destroyed, so does part of our consciousness. However, terminal lucidity puts a massive hole in a lot of this. It happens too little and for too little time to be studied and as it is, we don't understand why it happens.
The Stage 4 rendition stands out to me because it's the chunk right before the hell sirens. It's like the Caretaker's inability to recall the song is what triggers the outburst of despair. Even if that's not what was intended, it's what I take from it.
That’s... wow, that’s a really interesting take. I’ve always just thought it was the last time the caretaker remember he has dementia but that makes a LOT more sense considering libet’s delay plays 3 times in stage 3. I love all the little details hidden in the masterpiece, it’s amazing!
Wait, you guys are able to remember the post-awareness stages? I can't even remember them at all. I forgot everything about those stages, so I had to listen to the album again. I honestly never knew that the Hell Sirens even existed, it sounded so new to me when I listened to it. The only parts I can remember about those stages without anyone telling me about it is the last few minutes in stage 6. That shit was terrifying
Dementia: you can't defeat me. A persin trying to remember a song: i know, but they can. *_PEOPLE WITH EXPENSIVE BLUETOOTH EXPLODES A RANDOM BUILDING LIKE A CREEPER_*
the fact I didn't even know they were in the later stages retroactively reinforces the bone chilling reality of this album's message. it's a song I had already heard, even enjoyed. and it was right there again. but to me, it was nothing. just noise. noise I had never heard before
@@luckyotter623 I interpreted as the caretaker trying harder and harder to remember, and just slips into pure horror at what they have become. Until they forget a out even that.
Actual dementia patients do actually grow extremly violent in stages 4 and 5, because their brains can no longer make sense of the world so it interprets it as a threat and enters a sort of fight or flight, many dementia patients during this state brake down really easily, go into random crying and screaming fits, become violent etc. Then by late mid stage 5 their brains becomes mush so ut stops
@@konicks2359 I remember my MIL, when she reached stage 5 (actually stage 6 in the medical community) become very emotionally labile, not so much violent, but would have crying and screaming tantrums like a toddler. At this stage, they are in fact toddlers emotionally and mentally, and it's around this time they lose control of their bowels/bladder and stop being able to use language very well. Most of what they say doesn't make much sense. They are regressing back to infancy (this is what synapse retrogenesis refers to). It was so heartbreaking with my MIL, because she'd sometimes have lucid moments and suddenly become aware of what she had become, which would set off another screaming tantrum. We had to put her into a care home around this time. It broke my heart that the only lucid times she had, were filled with so much self hatred and shame. I wished I had been more understanding. If only I knew then what I know now thanks to the Caretaker and EATEOT.
@@reddeadfan-jz7sx maybe its cause that they are too confused and questioning people but the dementia patient doesnt understand everything and it ended up as them going to be violent
You can barely hear it, in fact, you probably can't hear it at all during " Post Awareness Confusions 2", " advanced plaque entanglements 2", " synapse retrogenesis", " sudden time regression into isolation", but yet in " a confusion so thick you forget forgetting", and " a brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat" you can hear it just a little
It’s definitely there, just that it’s slowed down and the pitch is shifted, as well as it being all choppy. A huge chunk of Post Awareness Confusions 2 is Libet’s Delay
@@revst4r [Heartaches, heartaches Me loving you meant only heartaches Your kiss was such a sacred thing to me I can't believe it's just a burning memory]
Back there Benjamin is so creepy to me, the way that it cuts from a sad song at the end of stage 2 to a upbeat, reverby song is just weird and the fact it repeats so many times on the same stage like you forgot you just tried to remember it. I wish I knew what Layland Kirby went through to make this album because listening to it is scary enough I can’t imagine what you would have going through your mind making this.
If I remember correctly, Kirby didn’t have much personal experience with dementia, but he was fascinated with the idea of memory distortion and loss. ua-cam.com/video/g4rI4xuomOY/v-deo.html here’s an interview where he explains the story behind the caretaker.
It’s almost like, at stage 2, the patient is almost fully acknowledging that something is wrong and they need help very badly, but then at stage 3 they fall back into denial by trying feign contentment. ‘Back there Benjamin’ almost sounds like they’re making fun of the idea that they have dementia, or that the whole situation is behind them.
I wouldn't even call Back there Benjamin upbeat, the word i would use to describe all of stage 3 is desperation. The entire stage has an intense sense of desperation mixed with the mental decline so that's why it's so hallucinatory sounding
I'm pretty sure Kirby saw the success of An Empty Bliss Beyond This World, but didn't want to just make a second one of it. Instead, he wanted to make something better, and so he made EATEOT
The original isn’t much faster or higher pitched than it. On audacity, you only have to change the speed of the original by -11 to get it to sound like it. Usually if you want a sample to sound like a caretaker song you have to change the speed by at least -30.
@@Thorin-MattfromGO Interesting. Perhaps Kirby chose to sample that part of the song for BTB because it already has an eerie vibe to it on its own, even if that wasn't the original composer's intention
i completely agree. something about the reverberated/echoing piano roll in the beginning in libet’s delay has so much weight to it. it sounds like what i can only imagine recognizing someone from a past life would be like.
yes i find the caretaker's renditions of the old timey songs much more pleasant to listen to (i.e it's just a burning memory, misplaced in time, libet's delay, all you are going to want to do is get back there)
I’ve been testing myself recently, by listening to AEBBTW before I go to bed, not to torture myself, but to see if it affects my dreams because the music in it reminds me of my childhood. So far it seems to be going well, and honestly, AEBBTW is a very relaxing album.
Patience is another calming one and my personal favorite. It’s available to purchase on vinyl right now from boomkat, I bought my copy the day it released.
@@davidholmes2932 I Do that with the entirety of everywhere at the end of time not to relax myself but to see what it would do to my dreams and to be stage one is calming . One time I fell asleep while stage two was playing I think it was denial unraveling and woke up to hell sirens
I like how one track with the sample in Stage 3 has the name Benjamin, while the other two have Libet. It's a neat nod to the neurologist Benjamin Libet.
The fact that samples can still be heard in Stage 6 is incredible and also mildly unnerving cause it implies that the person still has some of their selves left in them, but theyre so far gone theyre shrowded by emptiness and unable to do practically most things. Theyre there still, potentially, deep deep down, but theyre also no longer there
i think it's because the flowers look chaotic or something while the flowers in stage 2 are normal. back there benjamin is more chaotic than the songs in stage 2.
I think with the context of Stage 2 it almost feels like the song explodes out and things are finally breaking down. Stage 3 imo is the first stage to show that in the cover.
goodnight my beautiful: you hear the song while you're in your teen years/twenties libet's delay: you haven't heard the song in a while and forget how it went, not dementia, just bad recollection back there benjamin: you remember where you were when you heard the song and gaze back on the glory days. libet's all joyful camaraderie: same as back there benjamin, but it's starting to fade. libet delay: you try to remember when you had bad recollection of goodnight my beautiful but instead it's libet's delay post-awareness confusions 2: you are very close to remembering when you first heard the song, but it's very foggy advanced plaque entanglements 2: you can't remember it but you have sudden glimpses of it here and there synapse retrogenesis: you try your hardest to remember when you heard it, but all you can think of is your previous attempts sudden time regression into isolation: the last moments you could possibly remember where you were when you first heard it a confusion so thick you forget forgetting: the last moments you remember the song a brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat: you hear a song on the radio. you think it sounds familiar somehow but you've never heard it before, how could you? you must be mistaking this for a different tune
fun fact! goodnight, my beautiful was also used at The Walten Files at Second chapter: Relocation Proyect, in the bunker scene. Because it glitched and repeated many times i would have assumed its the caretaker's version, but it actually has a different mixing. [edit: fixed issue.]
I think the person who made the Walten Files is a Caretaker fan, since there's a lot of the same samples in it. It's kinda funny, since the creator of FNaF VHS is also a Caretaker fan.
It's hard to imagine that someone literally decided to try and find All of one songs references in this album.. especially when you just hear the brokenness of stages 4 and 5.
As a person who survived listening to all the songs through, i can now say that the song that gave me the most anxiety was back there benjamin IF I HEAR THAT SONG ONE MORE TIME IM GONNA END UP IN A WARD
The fact that stage 3’s libet delay doesn’t properly finish in certain parts literally made my head twitch. I couldn’t imagine experiencing the feeling in real life
5:52 Cool, I didn't notice before that this part is Goodnight, My Beautiful, too. It's so jumbled and restless, with no clear rhythmic structure. Thank you for this comparison video! EATEOT is a masterpiece, much like Divine Comedy by Dante: a multi-layered gift that just keeps giving. 💗💗💗
There are videos where people have taken this part and but all the scattered noise back into the melody of goodnight my beautiful. I think it’s the best way to be able to hear the sample in post awareness stages.
What these sound like to me: Goodnight, My Beautiful is a city, Libet's Delay is the city but abandoned for 100 years or so, Back There Benjamin is someone finding the abandoned city, Libet's All Joyful Camaraderie is someone leaving the abandoned city, and Libet Delay is the abandoned city after the person left (idk what the others could be)
Post awareness confusions is the "city" getting more old and broken and the advanced plague entanglements and Synapse retrogenesis is the "city" getting destroyed, withered and hollow over time Sudden Time regression into isolation is the hollow shell of the "city" and A Confusion so thick you forget forgetting is the empty place the city left when it got destroyed all thats left is nothing but A Brutal Bliss Beyond this empty defeat is "city" no longer existing
Stage 4 is the dead city becoming one of the countless battlefields of WW4. Rusted-out tanks roll down the empty streets, reducing once-grand architecture to heaps of smoldering rubble. Sewage tunnels, still radioactive from the last great war, are the new trenches. In stage 5, Homo sapiens is on the brink of extinction. The city's ancient ruins struggle to hold up against ever more extreme natural disasters. Climate change is in full swing, and while this city was far inland, its coastal counterparts have long since drowned in the rising seas. By stage 6, the city is nothing more than a layer of rust and broken glass spread across barren fields of rocky soil that was once concrete. A deadly asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, but there's not much left for it to kill. The impact vaporizes a small village, the last of humanity, in what was once called Antarctica.
after listening to the album a few times, I find most if not all the album to be kind of enjoyable and nice at times, and Back There Benjamin is one of my favorite songs of the album honestly
Whenever I hear the song in the third version I always get scared. I hadn’t noticed it in the previous stages, or if I did I wasn’t paying proper attention. Anyway, when I hear it in stage 3 it sounds so haunting like the echoes of time are fading and you’re desperately trying to hold on...Don’t even get me started on the later stages. Just goes to show how powerful this entire album truly is.
Goodnight, My Beautiful was used once in the background of a horror show I watch a lot, so I was alarmed when I recognized the song but couldn't place where i heard it before lmao. Creepy
Farm on the gold mine that is EATEOT song comparisons These vids are not only pretty good but it's also pretty good for channels that make them it seems
I honestly like Libet Delay from Stage 3. The very distant, echoey sound gives me a vaporwave-y feel, like I’m sitting just outside a tunnel under an overpass after the apocalypse and I can hear Goodnight, My Beautiful playing from the damaged radio of an abandoned car somewhere in the tunnel.
Libet Delay was always so chilling in a sense to me because it always represented the track right before mournful camaraderie and the eventual transition to stage 4 that it sort of represented to me.
@@berilysoup9999 to me that Sax in the libets all joyful sounds like it found a spider in the corner of the room and is trying to call for help as all the other instruments are just Vibing
Libet's delay must represent some kind of crucial memory in the caretaker's life. To me, this represents that memory being repeated over and over and being ruined to the point where it's incoherent, and yet it's so crucial that the ruined pieces of it continue to come up without making any sense whatsoever
@@thelegendarybulldozer7256 it plays twice in Stage 5 (its at 12:16 in synapse retrogenesis), for stage 6 it plays in a brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat at 8 minutes
I swear this put into perspective how nightmarish this album was. The same song, from clear as day, to slightly dying (stage 3), to a jumbled mess (stage 4), to violent static (stage 5)... and then you get to stage 6 and it's fucking *nothing*
back there benjamin terrifies me especially, it’s got my name, my dad likely has early dementia, my grandmother has it and it’s bad also the fact that I’m a kid listening and may struggle to remember it in my heart old ages
0:41 i'm sure it's a nice part of the song but it sets my teeth on edge. It's the sound of immense distress at this point. And 1:11 oh god. Kirby really had his way with this song. It's so stressful because of Back There Benjamin.
For me, Back There Benjamin and Libet's all Joyful Camaraderie are like a weak light in the middle of darkness, that dies out in Libet Delay to never come back. These are some of my all time favorite tracks, they bring me so much emotion.
Ngl the trumpet sound in back there Benjamin sounds like sounds like laughing. I imagined it as the Alzheimer’s is laughing at you forgetting everything.
i think there’s a majesty in how libet’s delay warps into libet delay. a slightly morose song looking back on fonder memories becomes this empty hollow soundscape where rudimentary notes remain. it hurts to think about how much you don’t remember.
I’ve always been intrigued by the segment in Advanced Plaque Entanglements 2. The segment is reused in Sudden Time Regression into Isolation. Noise for noise, it’s the exact same. I wonder if The Caretaker did so to imply that the patient was dreading the moment they would begin to fade completely, so it quietly faded into their mind. I’m not sure though.
I actually really like the "mellow" is it? Feeling of the sample track. It fills me with a feeling like, "everything has gone bad, but it will be okay"
Thank you so much for this! Goodnight My Beautiful is my favorite sample from this whole project, and seeing how it progresses is kind of a good example of the project as a whole
From these excerpts of the work, one can easily understand that “Goodnight, my beautiful” is a sonata allegro. It also has 3 divisions: exposition (Libet's delay), development of the main theme (Back there Benjamin) and reprise (Libet's all joyful camaraderie).
Apparently, libets delay is a real thing, where its a delay between touch and the sensation of touch. Like if you touched something youd only feel a slight delay.
When you try to remember that you forgot trying to remember about forgetting that you forgot, and you slowly forget remembering that you are trying to remember that you forgot your DAMN KEYS
The "Libet's delay" is the most recognizable to me because of a short horror animation from Battington "Two front teeth". Genuinely terrified me as a kid and o distinctly remeber thjys melody at the end with the devastating ending itself. Implanted in my memory as well as the horror.
Notice how all the songs that use Goodnight my Beautiful (and that are actually understandable) have the names Benjamin or Libet in their names. Apparently Benjamin Libet has some kind of connection with The Caretaker.
Stage 4 Guide: Post Awareness Confusions 2: Here you hear 2 Libet´s Delay at once but one is going forward while the other goes backwards Stage 5 Guide: Advanced Plaque Entanglements: Post Awareness Confusions 2 and a bit of Libet´s All Joyful Camaraderie winds Synapse Retrogenesis: The first 2 notes of the intro of the winds of Goodnight, My Beautiful, a bit of the piano of Libet´s Delay with pieces of the version of PAC2 Sudden Time Regression into Isolation: Same as the last one but more buried Stage 6 Guide: Libet Delay (Stage 3) but this is able to hear at 2X speed, but this sounds like "moans" P.S: Sorry for my english, its not my official language
The reason why so many song are repeated, distorted, and disfigured is so the caretaker (EATEOT version) is to show that he try’s to remember the same melody but fails
The madman who was able to hear the song all the way to stage 6 and perfectly identify it is the real thing we should be afraid of
Real
I could hear the signature muted trumpet, albeit extremely low pitched and almost inaudible next to the other sounds.

The stage 4-6 are very difficult. You need to separate the audio and try to identify with sections.

it's really easy to recognize Libet's Delay in Stage 4 Post-Awareness Confusions 2, the notes are just scattered around and slowed
The fact that samples can still be heard in Stage 6 is incredible and also mildly unnerving cause it implies that the person still has some of their selves left in them, but theyre so far gone theyre shrowded by emptiness and unable to do practically most things. Theyre there still, potentially, deep deep down, but theyre also no longer there
The image for Stage 3 matches Back There Benjamin so perfectly but I can't put into words why. Something about the sheer amount of scattered chaos.
i think it's because the flowers look chaotic or something while the flowers in stage 2 are normal.
back there benjamin is more chaotic than the songs in stage 2.
I think with the context of Stage 2 it almost feels like the song explodes out and things are finally breaking down. Stage 3 imo is the first stage to show that in the cover.
hag my beloved
Back There Benjamin is very scary to me as it's the point where things really start to take a turn for the worst.
It was a big "holy shit" moment the first time I went through this. It's by design, the entries into new Stages are attention grabbing and harsh.
Watching this made me remember just how terrifying this album really is
goodnight my beautiful: you hear the song while you're in your teen years/twenties
libet's delay: you haven't heard the song in a while and forget how it went, not dementia, just bad recollection
back there benjamin: you remember where you were when you heard the song and gaze back on the glory days.
libet's all joyful camaraderie: same as back there benjamin, but it's starting to fade.
libet delay: you try to remember when you had bad recollection of goodnight my beautiful but instead it's libet's delay
post-awareness confusions 2: you are very close to remembering when you first heard the song, but it's very foggy
advanced plaque entanglements 2: you can't remember it but you have sudden glimpses of it here and there
synapse retrogenesis: you try your hardest to remember when you heard it, but all you can think of is your previous attempts
sudden time regression into isolation: the last moments you could possibly remember where you were when you first heard it
a confusion so thick you forget forgetting: the last moments you remember the song
a brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat: you hear a song on the radio. you think it sounds familiar somehow but you've never heard it before, how could you? you must be mistaking this for a different tune
I swear this whole project makes me feel like I'm in an old abandoned modernist painting
sounds like its the nightmare artist in audio mode
somebody GETS what I feel about this album
fun fact! goodnight, my beautiful was also used at The Walten Files at Second chapter: Relocation Proyect, in the bunker scene. Because it glitched and repeated many times i would have assumed its the caretaker's version, but it actually has a different mixing.
[edit: fixed issue.]
I think the person who made the Walten Files is a Caretaker fan, since there's a lot of the same samples in it. It's kinda funny, since the creator of FNaF VHS is also a Caretaker fan.
Which part of the bunker scene? The repeating makes me think Billy’s time to shine but I don’t know.
@@youwerethere the sha part
yeah i know right!
Heartache was also used in walten files (it's just a burning memory is the EATEOT name)
I got shivers when I realized "Libet's delay" sample was present in the final stage.
yeah its creepy as fuck bro, i thought this song was beautiful and now im realizing its all over the album
its actually the stage 3 version used "Libet delay"
It's like a stage 1-6 all of it's own
0:41 this shocked me a lot. Mostly because it makes the beginning of stage 3 even more painful to listen to.
I had no idea Libet Delay was even remotely related to Libet's Delay, but now I can totally hear it-
lol
Post awareness confusions is reversed libet’s delay…
Go to a video of libets delay that’s reversed and go to 0:12 on the video
I FOUND YOU.
It's hard to imagine that someone literally decided to try and find All of one songs references in this album.. especially when you just hear the brokenness of stages 4 and 5.
As a person who survived listening to all the songs through, i can now say that the song that gave me the most anxiety was back there benjamin IF I HEAR THAT SONG ONE MORE TIME IM GONNA END UP IN A WARD
I really like the very first part of back there Benjamin, it just comes and slams right at you.
The fact that stage 3’s libet delay doesn’t properly finish in certain parts literally made my head twitch. I couldn’t imagine experiencing the feeling in real life
5:52 Cool, I didn't notice before that this part is Goodnight, My Beautiful, too. It's so jumbled and restless, with no clear rhythmic structure. Thank you for this comparison video! EATEOT is a masterpiece, much like Divine Comedy by Dante: a multi-layered gift that just keeps giving. 💗💗💗
There are videos where people have taken this part and but all the scattered noise back into the melody of goodnight my beautiful. I think it’s the best way to be able to hear the sample in post awareness stages.
@@fwutig1121 reconstructed like legos 💀💀💀
Im so used to listening to a mostly undistorted version of eateot that I forgot how much reverb there is in the actual album
What these sound like to me:
Goodnight, My Beautiful is a city, Libet's Delay is the city but abandoned for 100 years or so, Back There Benjamin is someone finding the abandoned city, Libet's All Joyful Camaraderie is someone leaving the abandoned city, and Libet Delay is the abandoned city after the person left (idk what the others could be)
The city deteriorating more
Post awareness confusions is the "city" getting more old and broken and the advanced plague entanglements and Synapse retrogenesis is the "city" getting destroyed, withered and hollow over time Sudden Time regression into isolation is the hollow shell of the "city" and A Confusion so thick you forget forgetting is the empty place the city left when it got destroyed all thats left is nothing but A Brutal Bliss Beyond this empty defeat is "city" no longer existing
Stage 4 is the dead city becoming one of the countless battlefields of WW4. Rusted-out tanks roll down the empty streets, reducing once-grand architecture to heaps of smoldering rubble. Sewage tunnels, still radioactive from the last great war, are the new trenches.
In stage 5, Homo sapiens is on the brink of extinction. The city's ancient ruins struggle to hold up against ever more extreme natural disasters. Climate change is in full swing, and while this city was far inland, its coastal counterparts have long since drowned in the rising seas.
By stage 6, the city is nothing more than a layer of rust and broken glass spread across barren fields of rocky soil that was once concrete. A deadly asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, but there's not much left for it to kill. The impact vaporizes a small village, the last of humanity, in what was once called Antarctica.
@@despairy69 It's like Life After People but in audio form
stage 4 is when a tornado forms and stage 5 is when the city gets destroyed in a war
stage 6 is the aftermath
0:00 ah yes. Some good music to vibe to.
0:41 *PTSD kicks in*
after listening to the album a few times, I find most if not all the album to be kind of enjoyable and nice at times, and Back There Benjamin is one of my favorite songs of the album honestly
Whenever I hear the song in the third version I always get scared. I hadn’t noticed it in the previous stages, or if I did I wasn’t paying proper attention. Anyway, when I hear it in stage 3 it sounds so haunting like the echoes of time are fading and you’re desperately trying to hold on...Don’t even get me started on the later stages. Just goes to show how powerful this entire album truly is.
Goodnight, My Beautiful Sample...
goodnight my beautiful is coincidential because i always hear this in my head before i sleep
Goodnight, My Beautiful was used once in the background of a horror show I watch a lot, so I was alarmed when I recognized the song but couldn't place where i heard it before lmao. Creepy
If I may ask, which show?
Same thing happemed with me with Misplaced in Time, and how it appears in FNAF VHS
Which show?
@@MrDill-hr7mk probably The Walten Files
@@yeetmyneet1207 i know The Walten Files uses it
Very underrated video, can you please do comparison for "Heartaches" ( It's Just A Burning Memory ) next?
Actually, I have done that before!

Oh, wow! Did not notice that, thank you alot.
Farm on the gold mine that is EATEOT song comparisons
These vids are not only pretty good but it's also pretty good for channels that make them it seems
@Kian M ok
I honestly like Libet Delay from Stage 3. The very distant, echoey sound gives me a vaporwave-y feel, like I’m sitting just outside a tunnel under an overpass after the apocalypse and I can hear Goodnight, My Beautiful playing from the damaged radio of an abandoned car somewhere in the tunnel.
Libet Delay was always so chilling in a sense to me because it always represented the track right before mournful camaraderie and the eventual transition to stage 4 that it sort of represented to me.
i can imagine goodnight my beautiful being played on a record during the late great depression and someone has finally had enough
libets delay itself is sad,but back there benjamin adds just more sadness to it..
The one from album 4 made me feel physically sick
I can only listen to the 1:47 version. I’m scared to go deeper. There has to be something ironic about this..
Back there Benjamin and libet's all joyful are ok. But beyond libet delay sounds broken.
If you only seek irony, then finding anything genuine would be a miracle. It's a great album, but not for everyone.
Libet's all Joyful is actually pretty nice.
@@totablezeus4189 Libet's all joyful camarderie is the best one imo
@@berilysoup9999 to me that Sax in the libets all joyful sounds like it found a spider in the corner of the room and is trying to call for help as all the other instruments are just Vibing

Libet's delay must represent some kind of crucial memory in the caretaker's life. To me, this represents that memory being repeated over and over and being ruined to the point where it's incoherent, and yet it's so crucial that the ruined pieces of it continue to come up without making any sense whatsoever
Maybe you can do granada, it's in every post awareness stage
I know when it plays in 4 & 5, but do you know when it plays in stage 6? I can’t seem to find it in there.
@@thelegendarybulldozer7256 it plays twice in Stage 5 (its at 12:16 in synapse retrogenesis), for stage 6 it plays in a brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat at 8 minutes
@@NOTequinox Thanks, will check out when I get home from school.
@@thelegendarybulldozer7256 It also plays relatively early on in Stage 4, before the full segment in Confusions 2. (around 4:10 in G1).
@@eggeater671 Are you sure it plays in G1? I can’t seem to find it.
The coherent version of Libet Delay actually sounds beautiful
I swear this put into perspective how nightmarish this album was. The same song, from clear as day, to slightly dying (stage 3), to a jumbled mess (stage 4), to violent static (stage 5)... and then you get to stage 6 and it's fucking *nothing*
back there benjamin terrifies me especially, it’s got
my name, my dad likely has early dementia, my grandmother has it and it’s bad
also the fact that I’m a kid listening and may struggle to remember it in my heart old ages
If you could recognize this song in stage 6, you've got perception skills the government probably wants to get ahold of
This is like going to a new school and slowly hating it more and wanting to go back to your old one
So basically just school in general
Oh this is a pretty cool song. I wonder where in EATEOT it i-
0:41
Oh, oh no.
0:41 i'm sure it's a nice part of the song but it sets my teeth on edge. It's the sound of immense distress at this point.
And 1:11 oh god. Kirby really had his way with this song. It's so stressful because of Back There Benjamin.
Okay if you go deeper into like Stage 5 it sounds like something you'd hear in a horror movie
For me, Back There Benjamin and Libet's all Joyful Camaraderie are like a weak light in the middle of darkness, that dies out in Libet Delay to never come back. These are some of my all time favorite tracks, they bring me so much emotion.
I feel so empty and anxious listening to this music in all the stages of the caretaker's albums, its wonderful!
Libet delay is like a film stuck in the projector where the credits roll
The melody grows fainter and fainter until you can't hear it anymore.
4:45 is my brain trynna start up for school like the cheap pull lawn mower it is
Ngl the trumpet sound in back there Benjamin sounds like sounds like laughing. I imagined it as the Alzheimer’s is laughing at you forgetting everything.
Now that's just making it less threatening
@@RaichuWasCancelled yea but now it doesnt sound like shit bc that was my first impression of all the albums
i cant even hear the original track in half of these anymore jhhjhjsdhjs i have no idea how OP managed to recognize them!
You want even better? Almost, or maybe all, all samples used by Kirby have been recognised and catalogued. Yes, that includes stage 6
i think there’s a majesty in how libet’s delay warps into libet delay. a slightly morose song looking back on fonder memories becomes this empty hollow soundscape where rudimentary notes remain. it hurts to think about how much you don’t remember.
I was sure I heard it somewhere in EATEOT but I wasnt sure when, *oh no.*
I’ve always been intrigued by the segment in Advanced Plaque Entanglements 2. The segment is reused in Sudden Time Regression into Isolation. Noise for noise, it’s the exact same. I wonder if The Caretaker did so to imply that the patient was dreading the moment they would begin to fade completely, so it quietly faded into their mind. I’m not sure though.
How were you able to hear this and figure out where Libet’s Delay was? I honestly can’t even comprehend it in the 4th and 5th stages
I actually really like the "mellow" is it? Feeling of the sample track. It fills me with a feeling like, "everything has gone bad, but it will be okay"
I just don’t anything can be as brilliant as Libet’s Delay. I don’t think of dementia when listening to it, but rather nostalgic memories and places.
Thank you so much for this! Goodnight My Beautiful is my favorite sample from this whole project, and seeing how it progresses is kind of a good example of the project as a whole
8:40
I hear a violin from What Does it Matter in the center.
Libets delay sounds like It's just a burning memory and back there Benjamin combined
From these excerpts of the work, one can easily understand that “Goodnight, my beautiful” is a sonata allegro. It also has 3 divisions: exposition (Libet's delay), development of the main theme (Back there Benjamin) and reprise (Libet's all joyful camaraderie).
Great video!
Apparently, libets delay is a real thing, where its a delay between touch and the sensation of touch. Like if you touched something youd only feel a slight delay.
Hello can i use the same idea but for another song ,i don’t want to steal your idea
You can, I’m not patenting this idea
@@thelegendarybulldozer7256 thank you
Back There Benjamin sounds like my nervous system when I stub my pinky toe
Stage 0 0:01
Stages 1 & 2 1:47
Stage 3 2:39
Late Stage 3 4:45
Stage 4 5:47
Stage 5 6:58
Stabe 6 9:58
6:09 you can hear a recognizable but slowed down portion here
The "Goodnight, My Beautiful" sounds something like what you'd hear from a horror movie credits scene or an episode of a certain television show.
Why the fuck did UA-cam think it was ok to slip this into a Russ Morgan mix I was listening to
I have no clue UA-cam keeps doing that kind of shit with my other videos
When you try to remember that you forgot trying to remember about forgetting that you forgot, and you slowly forget remembering that you are trying to remember that you forgot your DAMN KEYS
pro tip:if you know how libets delay in H1 sounds like then you would be able to clearly hear libets delay in all of the segments shown in the video
The "Libet's delay" is the most recognizable to me because of a short horror animation from Battington "Two front teeth". Genuinely terrified me as a kid and o distinctly remeber thjys melody at the end with the devastating ending itself. Implanted in my memory as well as the horror.
Post-Awareness confusions 2 is the creepiest to me, its just the sounds being looped like a cry for help and its very terrifying
Stage 3 Libet Delay is the Burning Despair Does Ache of Libet's Delay
Actually it is also in post awareness confusion 1 and advanced plaque entanglements 1
Notice how all the songs that use Goodnight my Beautiful (and that are actually understandable) have the names Benjamin or Libet in their names. Apparently Benjamin Libet has some kind of connection with The Caretaker.
Stage 4 Guide:
Post Awareness Confusions 2: Here you hear 2 Libet´s Delay at once but one is going forward while the other goes backwards
Stage 5 Guide:
Advanced Plaque Entanglements: Post Awareness Confusions 2 and a bit of Libet´s All Joyful Camaraderie winds
Synapse Retrogenesis: The first 2 notes of the intro of the winds of Goodnight, My Beautiful, a bit of the piano of Libet´s Delay with pieces of the version of PAC2
Sudden Time Regression into Isolation: Same as the last one but more buried
Stage 6 Guide:
Libet Delay (Stage 3) but this is able to hear at 2X speed, but this sounds like "moans"
P.S: Sorry for my english, its not my official language
The way Back There Benjamin abruptly ends always makes me jump horribly
dang, i'm shivering that this single song appeared on other stages... and the fact someone recognized this, i- ;-;
The reason why so many song are repeated, distorted, and disfigured is so the caretaker (EATEOT version) is to show that he try’s to remember the same melody but fails
