What is this? how does this song not have billions of views? this is the most powerful sound can get, I never experienced anything like this and my mind is blown
Millions views is already cool, dont forget that views dont means quality, the most viewed music on youtube are not good «most of the time» (sorry for my bad english:/ )
I saw Nils at the Sydney Opera House a few years ago, and he played a highly toned-down version of Says. Some people, maybe including the composer, don't hear the thunderous electronic ecstasy of this mix. I do, though.
Perhaps one of the best ambient Electronica songs ever performed and recorded. The ending of this song is unparalleled, exquisite, ecstatic, alluring and hauntingly beautiful.
i allways imagine sa flower that opens in all its beauty at 6:05. You wait for an eternity for something to happen. a great tune from the beginning but you know after a minute or so that there is something coming, it has to, IT MUST. the anticipation and buildup is magnificent work as the promise that was never given but still was there. every single time it fills me with some kind of optimism and hope and i really ran the song a lot but never will get old genius, although my wife hates it, that didnt make me love it even more but definitely made me play it a few times more on very loud on my old jbl ti 5000
Just seen this incredible man live at The Barbican London this evening. Completely blown away. How will I sleep tonight, I guess his beautiful music will haunt my dreams.
Chacun a une émotion spéciale avec la musique, question d’oreilles , de libre coure envers tout ce qui nous entoure, juste trouver la belle symphonie avec toi et Autres, clin d’œil à vous tous 💪
Danke, für deine ehrliche und emotionale Worte. Bei der Musik, geht nicht anders , man wird von Gefühlen regelrecht überschüttet ♡TimeandMonotony ......
I don't know why I feel emotional. I just discovered this song and it feels like it struck something deep inside of me that I've been ignoring for years. I'll listen to this till the day I die
That track is designed to provoke an emotional reaction. It's pure engeneered genius. Everyone I I've got to listen was affected by it. Sometimes it's tears of joy or feelings if hope. The realisation that beauty is powerful and will redeem us.
I have never had such a strong emotional reaction to a piece of music. The understated, lovely repetition of the majority of the song lulled me into a false sense of security, and then BAM!! I found myself tensed up, straining into my headphones, tears welling in my eyes, transported...somewhere. Somewhere strange and sad; euphoric, nostalgic; filling me with equal parts wonder and pity, resignation and joy; not knowing for what, or why. There is such power in music; after all these years, I am still caught off guard at times. Bravo.
This song puts me in such a strange mood. I don't know. It's like sadness, but also gives the feeling of the vast unknown. The most unique song I've ever heard.
It gives me a feeling of exploring great frontiers. You leave behind all that you've known to find something new. Homesickness, but discovery. A noble pursuit. .
This was the first song I've ever heard of him via KEXP's channel, and it blew me away. It, like you reminds me of a calm melancholy. Like you're alone in a capsule in space
This is just mind blowing. I barely ever leave a comment but this time I just couldn't help myself. It is unbelievable what Nils Frahm did here. The build up is powerful but the ending is something that stuck with me harder than anything else that I've ever heard. Hearing music like this really makes me happy that I am a human being and I have the ability to hear. This is the best musical piece ever.
Is there a version that goes on for 24 hours because that's how long i could listen to this for. Just close your eyes, don't think of anything else, just listen and it takes you somewhere special. Truly awesome.
I do not know Nils Frahm. I however have been studying his music for about three weeks now. I will continue to do so because I firmly believe he is one of the best artists of our time. I believe it is derived from a passionate drive within him.
This is a track that no matter how many times I listen to, it evokes such strong frisson, overwhelming emotion. There's a true sense of passion in this piece and I'd love to know what thought processes were going through Nils' mind to compose such a piece.
I lost touch with my son due to a dispute with his mother. Everytime the final Piano on this song sets in the tears roll down my face and little by little, help to heal my broken heart. Thank you Nils Frahm 🙏🏾
Hope the mother realises soon how important the relationship of a child with his father is, regardless of her relationship with you. Unless you are physically or emotionally abusive to him, you should be in his life. And one day when he's old enough, he might contact you. Good luck!
Sorry to read that. Being a father myself, I don't think I could live without my son. If that would nevertheless be bearable, knowing he is happy would be my first hope, and letting him know that I love him my second.
Praying right beside you for a happy reunion, soonest...I know this grief, very well, ... Be wary of Parental Alienation... I found out late ... For me a reunion will take longer, keep your nose clean and use the court to adjust or enforce any order, keep a record of all the good, bad, and ugly events.
Thank you so much for your comments everyone. My son is now a young teenager and our relationship is starting to again resemble what we had before all this happened. He is coming to visit me for holidays soon :) and I am Overjoyed! ❤️ (just to be clear, I was never abusive of him or his mother: our dispute started when he asked to spend more time with me and had to try to enforce this in court, after we could not come to an agreement for him to spend one extra day a week with me. The mind boggles. Very sad but I try to focus on the future…)
A true masterpiece. Both calming and incredibly uplifting. This piece of music always leaves me in tears, and breathless. It's an incredible achievement.
This song is holy. That's the only way I can put it. Every time I listen to it I get a message deep down from within my soul. From the universal consciousness, something calls me, something speaks. I believe a very deep spiritual message and power was speaking through Nils in this particular piece. There is NO OTHER piece of music I've ever heard that has this kind of power. Bless you, Nils. This is my meditation and a portal into God.
It's magnificent, I've been listening to music for over 50 years, and playing for 40, and I had the same thought. It has something of the purity of Bach, and a strong spirituality that actually made me breathless listening to it.
I'm here, sat, trying to figure how with so little someone can do something so pretty. This song is a pure expression of emotion. An expression of intense feelings. It's pure art. I'm sure that the name of the track was not chosen without reason, this track "Says" it all without lyrics. Without complex noises. It's just a piano melody. We always have the stupid idea that emotions are complex. But it's not like that. Sometimes it boils down to a look, a gesture. That's it. This is why this song conveys a sense of serenity. "Says" it all without saying anything.
+2steps Totally get what you are saying. My favourite pieces of music are simple ones, like this, where not much is being done yet so much is going on. You've summed up this track very well.
Discovered this incredible piece two or three weeks ago and still can't stop listening to it. That bass at 6:07. The way the sound just unfolds into its final form at 7:02. Just breathtaking. First song in years to give me goosebumps every time I hear it.
This was truly magical to experience in concert - where the physical power of the sound pushes through your being. Will never forget it. Do go and see him live - absolutely brilliant.
I remeber hearing this piece of music for the first time. I was driving on the motorway, late at night and ir came on the radio. I couldn't believe what i was hearing and had to pull over to listen to it. I found out what it was and listened to it time after time, as it has such a relaxing and calming effect on me.
Wunderbar. I'm sitting here on the night shift at the PC and listening to this wonderful music. This makes the currently frightening world a little forgotten. This version could take 2 hours. I'm 61 years old now and I still love techno.
Same story dude, can't remember. I only know, that i was listening to this track a lot of times in a row, that i liked it, but forgot it somehow. I've even searched trough all my playlists, search on my forums, chats etc. Still confused
Undisputed raw talent in a class of its own, yet it's interesting to hear Nils talk about this piece as one of his less technical and personally underwhelming tracks. He may be being humble but I think for most people this track represents his most accessible piece, serving as a crucial gateway to his imitable back catalogue. If you're starting your journey with Mr Frahm here, please know you're only scratching the surface and have so many more treasures awaiting you as I implore you to dive deeper into his majestic world of brilliance. I write this with immense envy, as the man can only be discovered once. Love and peace to you all.
It’s seems often to be the case that composers, or artists of any kind, can somehow fail to recognise the true value or impact of their own work. Perhaps they become too absorbed in what they perceive to be the work’s deficiencies. As a painter I understand this only too well! However, once that work, be it technically deficient or not, is let loose into the world, it is free to do the work for which it was intended, and to reach the ears and eyes of those destined to hear it or see it. Then it may prove to be far greater for those individuals than it’s creator could ever have imagined possible!
AD ASTRA I come back from cinema, where I went to see this film with my 13 year old son ... A real shock !!! It is incredible, with sensations worthy of the greatest masterpieces. The realism is impressive, and the music is exceptional, as it is in perfect communion with images worthy of an inner mystical experience, or external. It feels like you're on the moon, you feel like you're on Mars, you feel like you're in space ... It feels like you're alone in your head ... And I had the impression of being both son and father, capable of the best and the worst. I too will try to love ...
If someone said "listen to this relatively uneventful but pleasant tune for over 7 minutes just so you can hear this guy hit one chord on the piano" you'd say errrm no thanks. But then you do, and he does, and then your guts turn inside out.
Got shivers down my spine 4 times listening to this masterpiece!! This piece of music evolves continously from the first second to the last. Adapting and moulding into pure emotion. Breathtakingly good!
The first time I listened to this music was when I watched the premiere of Ad Astra, and then I finished and driven home by myself, it was before daybreak. The car was kept at the maximum volume, and the speed was 110/h on high speed, and it was deep dark at night. There is no car or street light on a section of the road. The part of timeline 5:00 and 5:18’s pictures were exactly what i pictured in my mind at that day when driven home alone with this music. You also know that after 7:00, with the feeling of speeding speed, it is so cool to be alone on the road at night! I’d love to listen to this kind of background music, the fantasy images in my mind, this is first time that I saw the vision version of this music, I’d like to say it really a visualized music just like this video made. This video is really awesome and pictured every detail!!! And in my mind some part are not the same, like The picture at 6:06 would be a ring wave expansion, like normal forward visualization, The picture at 7:07 would be changed to a ring wave retracting inward, like backward visualization, The picture at 7:19, with the former wave collapsed at a point and then the scene blasted off. I don’t know what do you this of that? I just thought that is so cool there’s someone would make an incredible visualized video of some like Ambient music(idk If there’s a kind of type name) And thanks again for making this.
I have a terminal illness and also I have lost my soulmate 7 years ago...so life can be so hard and you just need to find a space to go into without words...but yet it uplifted the soul at the same time..I've had this on repeat for a while before leaving a comment.. I love all music ....but today I found something wonderful and shall be adding this to my funeral playlist..so when grief hits hard then anyone can just for a moment forget worries of death and suffering and just be taken on a journey that is peacefully blissfully amazing all at the same time..🦋🎶🌑☯️
Read the book Journey of Souls, it has such a profound depth (much like this masterpiece) to it that has helped myself and so many others in hard times. Lean into the light. Sending Love.
This is the first piece that I ever cry to. Not because it reminds of something or Im being emotional at the time, It's just simply so beautiful :) when I was little and saw people cried to a classical piece, I thought they were exaggerating but now I understand
This song has such a powerful thinking, nostalgia attraction to it. It's the kind of song that makes you just stare out in the wild, remembering your life and making you wonder what lies ahead. Which choices you will make.
AD ASTRA I’m unsure of the future, but I’m not concerned. I will rely on those closest to me, and I will share their burdens, as they share mine. I will live and love.' - Roy McBride
@@flybeep1661 I don't think that's right. Most of the score is indeed by Max Richter, but Nils Frahm was actually mentioned in the soundtrack list during the credits, and appears here as contributor of additional music www.imdb.com/title/tt2935510/fullcredits
How can be unbelievably somthing like this undiscribed unexpressible music and art. I am glad to be within this period of time to listen to his music! Thank you.
+Simou Aregrag Many other bands, Simou :) But if I could humbly introduce you to my music, Modern Classical with a mix of Ambient and Chill out. Feel free to check out my channel anytime.
Ive seen Nils play again and again, and while incredible, I dont think Ive ever heard him as focussed and coherent and passionate as on this recording. THis is amazing
I still can't deal with it, endless arpeggiator and a chord change - and for this, we leave our bodies. According to listener numbers, will be his biggest achievement. Congratulations.
It still makes me cry every time , I think that this track is over everything else, it should me proclaimed the most emotional and elevating music in the whole history
this is the best song Ive ever heard. It makes me so emotional listening to it. I saw him in person this year and it blew my mind. Nils frahm is genius level musicianship. I am soooooo grateful for you Nils. thank you for giving your heart and soul into your music, it really comes through.
UA-cam recommended this song to me a few weeks ago randomly. I was so happy to hear it in Ad Astra when I watched it today! Love this so much, I love how it just builds so slowly.
I have never felt feelings so strong except for in this music. I have, every time, shivers which cross me the body in every rise of intensity. Fascinating and so emotional.
Never thought I'd see a piece of ambient music get so popular. This is an amazing genre to delve into, people! Nils Frahm, Marconi Union, 36 are just a few of so many talented producers of what is such a beautiful, ethereal, and thought provoking style of music.
I admit, I was listening to it reading comments and didn't understand why everyone was so enthusiast, it seemed quite boring..BUT at 6:04 I had goosebumps, my breath went away... totally mind blowed. Now I'm looking for other tracks!
i was totally down today, ... i had this song in my playlist and it went in. I caught myself sitting completly silent about 5 mins drifting away... can' t even explain what how powerfull this song is to me!
Good music bring us closer, even more in confinment period. We will remember it at the end of this "journey"... Good vibes from a neighbour. From Mimizan, France.
At the hotel Astra in Seattle... from the patio looking at the space needle while comtemplating the chapter 3 of my Doctoral dissertation; thank you greater energy/power for this gift.
I swim high above the city I live in, I swim through high buildings watching people so small, I am small, the build up I swim higher, my arms not tired, the climax I reach heaven, I am free, humble and thankful. I love this music
Do u remember ur childhood Woke up at 6:30 Its dark U go to schoolbus Its rainy U put ur head on the window Ure sad but u dont know why? This song takes me that days 35 years back
What a passionate piece of music. It grows and grows on the listener. Nils is a very talented composer, it is so wonderful that there are over 1 million views :)
I was living my life then I discovered Nils Frahm .
What a true statement!
Today I discovered Nils Frahm; Today was a good day
indeed for you..
Me paso lo mismo ...
Hell yeah! 🖤💫🛸
I discovered him today :))
This happened to me, just NOW.
What is this? how does this song not have billions of views? this is the most powerful sound can get, I never experienced anything like this and my mind is blown
Millions views is already cool, dont forget that views dont means quality, the most viewed music on youtube are not good «most of the time» (sorry for my bad english:/ )

Do you know more please? i beg you
💽🎼
I love how the tension gradually builds and builds until the eventual chord change at 6:05. I get goosebumps every time.
I anticipate it every time I listen, and it never fails.
Side note, please make a piano tutorial for Garden of Words. Or anything by Kashiwa Daisuke.
i allways imagine sa flower that opens in all its beauty at 6:05. You wait for an eternity for something to happen. a great tune from the beginning but you know after a minute or so that there is something coming, it has to, IT MUST.
the anticipation and buildup is magnificent work as the promise that was never given but still was there. every single time it fills me with some kind of optimism and hope and i really ran the song a lot but never will get old
genius, although my wife hates it, that didnt make me love it even more but definitely made me play it a few times more on very loud on my old jbl ti 5000
you're right about 6-05 , MAGICAL
Six minutes of investment, to give utter importance and meaning to that chord change!
Sitting at London Gatwick airport on a moderately busy day. Headphones and listening to this whilst watching the world go by. Strangely euphoric!

Wow wish I knew of that🤦🏾♀️ I would have enjoyed that
I am soooo jealous!
I love watching people describe their spiritual experiences with music. It's the real deal!!!!
Yes I’m listening to it over and over soaking in it and these comments..
It's not spiritual experience, its mental experience.
I get messed up and let the music take me away
It's a body experience. It's a spiritual experience. It's a mental experience.

My thoughts exactly.
True! I listen to hip hop/rap normally, but this sounds so good.
Nicely worded and so the truth!
Ive been in a very depressed state. This song made the rest of the day worth living
Hope you're doing better today! Eat a steak! 🥰
Hope things are going better for you, Andrew
Don't be depressed; be angry. Then direct the anger at the organisations that made you depressed. Works for me.

He may be being humble but I think for most people this track represents his most accessible piece, serving as a crucial gateway to his imitable back catalogue. If you're starting your journey with Mr Frahm here, please know you're only scratching the surface and have so many more treasures awaiting you as I implore you to dive deeper into his majestic world of brilliance. I write this with immense envy, as the man can only be discovered once. Love and peace to you all.
Can you suggest more songs of his so i can dive deeper :) ?
It’s seems often to be the case that composers, or artists of any kind, can somehow fail to recognise the true value or impact of their own work. Perhaps they become too absorbed in what they perceive to be the work’s deficiencies. As a painter I understand this only too well! However, once that work, be it technically deficient or not, is let loose into the world, it is free to do the work for which it was intended, and to reach the ears and eyes of those destined to hear it or see it. Then it may prove to be far greater for those individuals than it’s creator could ever have imagined possible!

I come back from cinema, where I went to see this film with my 13 year old son ... A real shock !!!
It is incredible, with sensations worthy of the greatest masterpieces. The realism is impressive, and the music is exceptional, as it is in perfect communion with images worthy of an inner mystical experience, or external.
It feels like you're on the moon, you feel like you're on Mars, you feel like you're in space ...
It feels like you're alone in your head ...
And I had the impression of being both son and father, capable of the best and the worst.
I too will try to love ...
le_petit_ben_69.0 hi brilliant description totally agree with you..I'm going back to see it tomorrow 😋😉
I Agree
It’s okay that mere words cannot express the vastness of God because this music does it for us.

its been a year, and this is still my favorite song
Claire Vela it's not a Song.. it's music you clown
Mister Sexman Be less you
Must have listened to this a 100 times or more now and it still gives me goose bumps every time starting at 7:16.
+gumbypokey7 Tell me about it !! Nils is awesome.
If someone said "listen to this relatively uneventful but pleasant tune for over 7 minutes just so you can hear this guy hit one chord on the piano" you'd say errrm no thanks. But then you do, and he does, and then your guts turn inside out.
Martin Roth's "An Analog Guy In A Digital World" brought me here.
Absolute genius.
me too
THIS IS THE COMING I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!
Ditto
idem :)
Yes but there is more one amazing song
Dvkid dreamer.
This is the heartbeat of the Universe.
Absolute masterpiece. I wish more people would understand music like this
I used to hate music like this but now it is more calming than anything
I watched this in a darkened room, full-screen, late at night. So profound, I felt purified.
Same
Got shivers down my spine 4 times listening to this masterpiece!! This piece of music evolves continously from the first second to the last. Adapting and moulding into pure emotion. Breathtakingly good!
This is so beautiful, I listen to it almost every day.
OMG, I'M SO GREATFUL WITH YOU, THANKS FOR THE BJORK'S VIDEOS.
You're Most Welcome, I'm happy you enjoy the videos.
The first time I listened to this music was when I watched the premiere of Ad Astra, and then I finished and driven home by myself, it was before daybreak. The car was kept at the maximum volume, and the speed was 110/h on high speed, and it was deep dark at night. There is no car or street light on a section of the road. The part of timeline 5:00 and 5:18’s pictures were exactly what i pictured in my mind at that day when driven home alone with this music. You also know that after 7:00, with the feeling of speeding speed, it is so cool to be alone on the road at night!
I’d love to listen to this kind of background music, the fantasy images in my mind, this is first time that I saw the vision version of this music, I’d like to say it really a visualized music just like this video made. This video is really awesome and pictured every detail!!!
And in my mind some part are not the same, like
The picture at 6:06 would be a ring wave expansion, like normal forward visualization,
The picture at 7:07 would be changed to a ring wave retracting inward, like backward visualization,
The picture at 7:19, with the former wave collapsed at a point and then the scene blasted off.
I don’t know what do you this of that? I just thought that is so cool there’s someone would make an incredible visualized video of some like Ambient music(idk If there’s a kind of type name)
And thanks again for making this.
I have a terminal illness and also I have lost my soulmate 7 years ago...so life can be so hard and you just need to find a space to go into without words...but yet it uplifted the soul at the same time..I've had this on repeat for a while before leaving a comment.. I love all music ....but today I found something wonderful and shall be adding this to my funeral playlist..so when grief hits hard then anyone can just for a moment forget worries of death and suffering and just be taken on a journey that is peacefully blissfully amazing all at the same time..🦋🎶🌑☯️
Read the book Journey of Souls, it has such a profound depth (much like this masterpiece) to it that has helped myself and so many others in hard times. Lean into the light. Sending Love.
Lies Bitte 🙏in der Bibel Offenbarung 21:3-5....💖💖 i wish you all the best...from germany...stay strong...send you love💕🌸🌸🌸💐💐💐🙏
Complete with a long build and epic release, 'Says' is one of the best psychedelic pieces I've ever heard.
This is the first piece that I ever cry to. Not because it reminds of something or Im being emotional at the time, It's just simply so beautiful :) when I was little and saw people cried to a classical piece, I thought they were exaggerating but now I understand
same thing happened to me.
U R home 🙌
I couldn’t listen to it for a couple years. Too emotional
Oh God..............................................1 song, millions of emotions. Thank you mr Frahm, thank you....
This song has such a powerful thinking, nostalgia attraction to it. It's the kind of song that makes you just stare out in the wild, remembering your life and making you wonder what lies ahead. Which choices you will make.
You're reading tracks clearly man,i think the same as you

Nice but in the movie it's not this song that plays but an equally great track by Max Richter - Tuesday Voiceless.
Holy smokes, super similar! Fly Beep*
:'-(
@@flybeep1661 I don't think that's right. Most of the score is indeed by Max Richter, but Nils Frahm was actually mentioned in the soundtrack list during the credits, and appears here as contributor of additional music www.imdb.com/title/tt2935510/fullcredits
I was wondering where I heard this before!!!
How can be unbelievably somthing like this undiscribed unexpressible music and art. I am glad to be within this period of time to listen to his music! Thank you.
If everyone understand such music, the world would be heaven
Trippy. Creative. Image stimulating. Calm. Trancy. Dreamy.
I love that music.
I wonder if there are other artist with similar sounds.
+Simou Aregrag Many other bands, Simou :) But if I could humbly introduce you to my music, Modern Classical with a mix of Ambient and Chill out. Feel free to check out my channel anytime.
Oh yes. I will definitely check your channel and will let you know of what I think.
Thanks for having contacted me.
+Simou Aregrag Olafur Arnalds... They have worked together and produce most beautiful music together also.

You may like Max Richter and Max Cooper too.
Ive seen Nils play again and again, and while incredible, I dont think Ive ever heard him as focussed and coherent and passionate as on this recording. THis is amazing
Music is a universal language
Whenever I feel anxious at work and want to put my mind at ease, I always play this song and it always calms me down ❤️
To me, it's the opposite. So many unresolved tonal expressions after another
I tend to drift away to another part of space when I listen
Float forever ... enmeshed within 6 notes .. and that soft noise from the model echo! Nils Frahm puts hope into post-modern classical music.
I still can't deal with it, endless arpeggiator and a chord change - and for this, we leave our bodies. According to listener numbers, will be his biggest achievement. Congratulations.
It still makes me cry every time , I think that this track is over everything else, it should me proclaimed the most emotional and elevating music in the whole history
I just ate a sandwich whilst listening to this. Most epic. Sandwich. Ever.
OMG, so did I and then I saw this. Totally epic...sandwich.
With an amazing finale 😉
try it with fries. Mind. Blow. Ing
Long Sandwich
This track is always, always, always amazing and breathtaking and heartstoppingly beautiful.
this is the best song Ive ever heard. It makes me so emotional listening to it. I saw him in person this year and it blew my mind. Nils frahm is genius level musicianship. I am soooooo grateful for you Nils. thank you for giving your heart and soul into your music, it really comes through.
6:05 brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Nils for this gift to mankind.
Salma Hayek on Hot Ones, brought me here. I am so happy I arrived. Beautiful.
UA-cam recommended this song to me a few weeks ago randomly. I was so happy to hear it in Ad Astra when I watched it today! Love this so much, I love how it just builds so slowly.
I have never felt feelings so strong except for in this music. I have, every time, shivers which cross me the body in every rise of intensity. Fascinating and so emotional.
Never thought I'd see a piece of ambient music get so popular. This is an amazing genre to delve into, people! Nils Frahm, Marconi Union, 36 are just a few of so many talented producers of what is such a beautiful, ethereal, and thought provoking style of music.
Самая лучшая и волшебная музыка, которую я слышала в моей жизни!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I admit, I was listening to it reading comments and didn't understand why everyone was so enthusiast, it seemed quite boring..BUT at 6:04 I had goosebumps, my breath went away... totally mind blowed. Now I'm looking for other tracks!
1 million views! I'm impressed. glad good music is getting the attention it deserves
i was totally down today, ... i had this song in my playlist and it went in. I caught myself sitting completly silent about 5 mins drifting away... can' t even explain what how powerfull this song is to me!
Had the pleasure to see this man and experience his music live in Hamburgs Elbphilharmonie. Hope I will be able to visit a concert of him again.

What a show he put on in Manchester, and it was pure class.
This analog guy in a digital world is a genius
The best!
A good coronavirus "stay at home" song looking outside. From Bordeaux, France.
Haha, this is exactly what I was thinking (and doing)
yes with this one :

Good music bring us closer, even more in confinment period.
We will remember it at the end of this "journey"...
Good vibes from a neighbour. From Mimizan, France.
Same here! From Washington state, USA.
same here guys we got this.
Last night I heard this live. There are no words to adequately follow this sentence.
Finding people who can enjoy this stuff is rare, this millions are possible one million people at most who just repeated the song
Key is to find the others.
Meanwhile I got the impression we are quite a bunch ;)! Enjoy and keep being aware - you might even spot some in your day to day life !
Have you heard of Jon Ryman? you will love his music
@ thank you!
Nils Frahm is definitely the best composer of our generation. Thanks for all !
i saw nils frahm do this in canberra (australia) last year and i swear it's the most moving musical moment i've ever experienced. and i've seen a few.
I was so, so, SO excited when I heard this in Ad Astra!
Fucking goosebumps whwen the music came in ....awesome movie
Absolutely remarkable music .... moving one to tears, thinking of anything and everything larger than life as we know it.
At the hotel Astra in Seattle... from the patio looking at the space needle while comtemplating the chapter 3 of my Doctoral dissertation; thank you greater energy/power for this gift.
I swim high above the city I live in, I swim through high buildings watching people so small, I am small, the build up I swim higher, my arms not tired, the climax I reach heaven, I am free, humble and thankful. I love this music
One of the most beautiful and cathartic pieces of music ever written! Maestro Nils
It's so damn refreshing to listen to this after so many years.
Do u remember ur childhood
Woke up at 6:30
Its dark
U go to schoolbus
Its rainy
U put ur head on the window
Ure sad but u dont know why?
This song takes me that days 35 years back
i dont like School much
its what they thought in Arrival
Nils Frahm,ein toller Komponist 😊
Genitalny utwór, łzy w oczach, ciarki na ciele. Wow!!!
What a passionate piece of music. It grows and grows on the listener. Nils is a very talented composer, it is so wonderful that there are over 1 million views :)
He also did the soundtrack for the movie Victoria. Definitely worth checking out when you get a chance. It's a pretty remarkable movie.
