    Godspeed You! Black Emperor (formerly punctuated Godspeed You Black Emperor! and abbreviated to GY!BE, GYBE, or just Godspeed) are a Canadian band based in Montreal, Quebec.
    Formed in 1994 in Montreal, Canada, the band has been highly influential within the post-rock genre. Working with orchestrated arrangements, the nine-piece group created tracks with wide dynamic ranges, a highly evocative use of instrumentation and sounds and uncompromising long form compositions. Their engrossing use of art and visuals in both album packaging and live performances creates an enigmatic aura.

    I was really depressed for a long period of time. I came home drunk one night, and I was looking for really sad songs to play, but I stumbled onto this. I could only think of only one word: hope. I don't know why, but I just felt a sense of calm. It was like the beginning of the song was a tiny beam of light in a dark room, and then once the song began to get louder, it was like a whole new world was open to me. It was one of the best feelings I've ever felt.

      i guess it really speaks to the talent of these musicians, hope is half the coin when it comes to godspeed, its one of the major themes in their music and yet they get it across purely on feeling alone and without a single word even to the drunk and depressed it makes you feel it, amazing band truly

    This is the most hauntingly beautiful, heartwrenching, powerfully emotional song of all time. The first time I heard it was the first time a song had ever brought tears to my eyes to accompany the goosebumps. It had such an impact on me that it was damn near a spiritual experience, and it deeply inspired the direction I'm taking in some of my instrumental music. I am almost certain that there will never be another song that dethrones this as my favorite song of all time.

    When i first heard of this genre called "post-rock" i was sad to think that rock n roll is officialy dead. But if this is taking the place of rock, im more than fine with it. I'd call it rock evolving into something more meaningful, more beautiful, more sureal. Thanks for the upload!!

    I’ve just gotten into King Crimson this past year and Godspeed seems like a perfect continuation of that music. Sophie is like David cross in the Wetton era and the guitarists wail like Fripp. I wanted more Crimson like music, and Godspeed seems to have scratched that itch!

      Difficult to understand? Why they are so clare for me, this song simply. Describe the joy of life, the joy thath you realise thath you are alive, or maybe the growth of a child, the first monent of the song are very sweet like the love of parents and after the child start to grow, walk alone with nobody tath help him, its like be on a plane thath go more high and you see the city the people and the word be so aliva you see every people have their own life and how much detailed and alive the world is and the rest of the album is just trying to be happy, describe happiness peace fell safe dying saddness fear and anxiety untill the last song sound like a funeral the song just stop, its like a plane run out of fuel thath crash on the ground

    No! This music and many other beautiful ones manage to dig up emotions that have always been in you but they were buried and you haven't felt them often before. You, me, we all then must appreciate these emotions in the way of pondering; what it is that I am feeling now? Why are these beautiful emotions buried in my soul? How do I achieve these emotions in real life? Is my soul longing for something that I don't know of? It is then that you have taken one step towards purpose of life.

    Music stirs emotion because the brain attaches emotions the events it percieves. These emotions exist only within each brain, as do words and thoughts. The meaning of life is therefore not external but Internal: the meaning of life is to give life (your own (instincts-influenced)) meaning.

    Last August I saw Godspeed at a little club in my hometown of El Paso Texas to maybe 200 people. Ten years ago I saw them in D.C. @ 9:30 Club. Both times were spectacular in their own right. I'm glad I had these experiences and if you have the chance I highly suggest going to one of their shows. It's a sonic delight with sublime visual accompaniment.
