My cousin, best friend, and all round legend has passed away at the age of 26. I came to this song to close my eyes and wish him on his journey to wherever he goes next. I love you Tom.
Okay, let me get something straight. I have NEVER cried at a piece of art or anything of the sort and when I see or hear people saying that 'Oh this song/painting/etc made me cry', I always thought those people were A: Weirdos or B: Bullshitting as I didn't think something so materialistic could affect someone so emotionally. Boy, was this a wake up call as when that video faded to white at the end, I realised I had tears in my eyes. I hope that wasn't just down to my sleep deprivation. It felt so damn good and I wanted to thank KOAN Sound & ASA Carson for their beautiful music and also Dan Hoang & John Weeks for their brilliant, unique work on the visual aspect of this upload. I wish I could make this sound less cliche but I only know so much English.
This song represents for me a way out from the boring daily life. When I hear this song I think of the beautiful scenery and I transfer me there with the mind, without thinking of anything else. Many people say that you can not escape from life's problems, but it is not entirely true. In some cases you can. And it's fucking beautiful.
We all relate to music/art in our own way. For me, my now parter, followed me through a pretty dark and rough part of my life. She followed me down where most would walk away and at the time I kinda took it for granted. We then spent some years apart, to me, represented by the broken stairway leading up in the video, a time through which I grew and healed as a person, only for us to reunite and now stay together. I always felt like there was something special to our relationship, like a ying to each others yang. This video/song represents this struggle and triumph in my life so well. Thankyou.
This music that this group makes is literally what you'd hear in videogames and movies. Ladies and gentlemen this is real music. This is what music is when a god creates it. This my friends is beauty incarnated into sound. If you dislike this then you have no ear for music and dont deserve to exist amongst the individuals that have taste in music.
I don't know why, but this song really gives me a heavy feeling of nostalgia. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to :)
It seems to me like at the end of the video the girl finds her higher self/true self and realizes that we are one and she becomes truly enlightened. Amazing video.
I don't know what it is but when i first heard your album it spoke through me and touched my heart and changed me so much. This was so soothing for me when i was depressed and so down i just went to listen to music and this came on and it made me look at my screen and made me feel like life outside is beautiful and can be seen so brightly. I never thought a song would come to change me in any way and this album just made me cry so much. It made me cry tears of joy cause I felt so at peace and i had no idea how happy i should be more often. Everyday i wake up now to this song and when i get a call i listen to this song. and when i'm down i listen to this song. Every time i have free time i just sit back and listen to the album. I cry every time no matter what to this song. Most of my homework i turn in has my tears on it and everyone wonders why i cry. I tell them "I found peace within my heart" and it just keeps me so calm now. I haven't stopped listening to the album and hasn't ever gotten old. I do my homework when i listen to this album. I now do after school activities because of the motivation of this album. I help my family with anything that needs done due to the fact of how peaceful and relaxing this song has done to affect me! I just have no way to give so much gratitude to this song and the whole album in general. There's just so much motivation because of what i've heard when i was depressed and how much i am doing better now. I'm now passing in my school when i plummeted to the very bottom of school. I help kids in need and even tutor some people in certain subject!
It doesn't lol. I get what You meant by the way, Better wording would be "to give a powerful feeling" than "to say what it means". (Again, I understand fine, but some other people might not) :)
That's fine! Learning a new language can be tricky, but if You keep it up, then as long as You can communicate, even if it's not full proper English, that's all that matters, so I don't mind. :P
Everyone is commenting about skrillex yes I do love skrillex but you must also admire this beautiful and the wonderful producer who made it KOAN great song much support
I think that everyone should be told that the dislike button isn't for songs you don't like. It's actually for songs you think didn't have any EFFORT put into. This song obviously did.
actually man i am rather sure it is just to let things know that you dislike or like a video so that you can either see more of it or less of it and it all comes down to preference man, don't be a mong
Knowing about music production immensely improves your ability to appreciate a track. After i started producing I looked at my favourite songs in a completely different way
This is actually beautiful! I can't believe people are actually commenting asking where the drop is. They're exactly what's wrong with the scene nowadays. Well done KOAN/Asa , this is great.
I came across this song on Pandora and liked it a few years ago, but I forgot the name of it. Spent an hour looking for it and I'm so happy I did. This song and video is so deep and inspirational!
Why obsess over skrillix when you could be saying YES I LOVE YOU KOAN SOUND! Just because he had a role in this, its koan sounds work and their other work is just as amazing. KOAN's name should be filling the comments, not skrillix.
As many have mentioned, no words can describe the power of this work of art. I'd love to know what the vision of inspiration was and meaning of the video. Perhaps finding oneself in a world of doubt and despair? Or, embracing death, when it comes, and finding happiness? So many interpretations, which leave it mysterious but still beautiful.
A. You don't need to write/produce songs to know whether a song is good, you just have to have listened to a lot of music B. Just because it's professional, doesn't mean it's good. C. I do write/produce music, and I'm been very inspired by KOAN sound in the process.
OMG Y SO MANY SKRILLEX COMMENTS? I like skrillex and all and I do realise he sign KOAN Sound onto his record label aaand he left a comment BUT you guys dont need to keep banging on about it. This is KOAN sound's song and its beatiful. I came here because KOAN Sound are my favourite DJ duo and I saw this song on their soundcloud not coz im some no life Skrillex stalker who looks at his comment history. Im sorry but it just really annoyed me.
Some people like skrill amd I just saw a commemt on skrillexes channel so im going to listen to Koan sound for the fucking first time. Skrillex is boss and he is back with a new album thats boss
Dolphinately I totally agree with you but aren't you forgetting that Asa was a part of this? I mean I know KOAN Sound are legends in and of themselves but I get this feeling that everyone is undermining Asa. Asa is one who probably did most of the string work on this EP and maybe a lot of the drums (but that's more of a mixture). Not only that but Asa held an AMA on reddit about production and the Sanctuary EP on /r/edmproduction. I know that you specifically don't mean to undermine anybody but I just wanted to give a shout out to Asa who seems under-appreciated on this EP.
Third Estate I am indeed! When I wrote this comment I just didn't think so that was stupidity on my part. As you rightly said, Asa did work extremely hard on this EP and he should be credited for it (a bit hypocritical of me but hey, life :P). Also, have a nice day sir! Kyle degraw You're missing out bro: www.soundcloud.com/asamusicofficial
Am ya ._. todo por que me guste Bieber no me puede gustar Skrillex? plz, no sean pendejos, cada uno tiene sus gustos. Además lo mio es un sentimiento por Skrillex
45% of people came here beacuse of Skrillex's comment. 45% because they hate Skrillex, so they can even criticize him. and the rest 10% because they love Koan Sound's music. Incredible society!
nothing wrong w girls :)
Crazy no one has replied to this never thought youd be into this type of music it beautiful isnt it?
Yes, Skrillex i dare you to bring these type of music back, please for the love of god
Qué pedo? Sólo 15 likes?
No mamen, no sabía que Skrillex escuchaba a Koan Sound.
I thought this was deleted
epic
Can´t believe this is 8 years old already, one of the most beautiful tracks I´ve ever listened
2 years later, still the best EP i've ever heard.
Robbie Freeman Must say I prefer Adventures of Mr. Fox and Dynasty.
Amen, 3 years later, and I loooove this EP.
And 4 years later. Still da best
2018 one of the best EP ever created, such emotional and pacefull
@@sector1minos1 6 years later... Still the BEST EP ever made.
The best song to listen to when you're stressed.
Brings peace to the mind.
+Ujyant Ramesh Mine is Sentient by KS. The chords at the end are fantastic and very soothing.
But you're right, this one is very nice, too.
+Luc Knuchel (Glazork)
Thank you Sir for suggesting that song. Another wonderful song to listen to.
After 2 years, song still sounds brand new!
:)
You have a beautiful voice!
Alicia Kiah So you, sing AND play the violin or is playing the violin your main thing and singing an occasional thing?
that was 4 years ago but it still holds up
My cousin, best friend, and all round legend has passed away at the age of 26. I came to this song to close my eyes and wish him on his journey to wherever he goes next. I love you Tom.
Almost eight years later, still one of the greatest tracks I've heard. In my opinion the best electronic music EP released of the 2010s.
10 years later, still a masterpiece
6 years have passed and I still listen to this masterpiece. This is a strong bond.

almost every second of this video could be an wallpaper. and the music is just sublime
This song is my favorite song in the entire world.
Same ❤️
those spiritual vibes though.
Conrad Ritchie serious DMT action towards the end
Still absolutely amazing!! After 8 years I will always be back!! 😊😊
It's amazing how beautiful a song can be.

I came here myself, you should be proud
Same :)
After all this time, still a bop.
I love this so much. Skrillex Is the reason I'm here. but I do genuinly like this. Beautiful.
Can’t believe it’s been 10+ years 😢
I was having a shitty day, right now is 10pm and listening to this feels so... Comforting
Ryan Auditore this is happening to me right now, 10:03pm.
Still Feels good...
I don't know why, but this song really gives me a heavy feeling of nostalgia. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to :)
Good people. Good Times.
It seems to me like at the end of the video the girl finds her higher self/true self and realizes that we are one and she becomes truly enlightened. Amazing video.
this is a true masterpiece.
never stop doing what you love.

I like to think that you often come back listening to this, now that you're 25~
@@renatocellini9782 and i do to this day still this song means so much to me
truly one of the most beautiful songs i've heard. still sounds amazing to this day.
this song does not need words to say what it means
(srry bad english)
It doesn't lol. I get what You meant by the way, Better wording would be "to give a powerful feeling" than "to say what it means". (Again, I understand fine, but some other people might not) :)
+Graphix ow haha yes but u am dutch and incredible dislectic

oh really? what does it mean then?
It all refers to the flower of life, chakras, sacred geometry, enlightenment, meditation...
and love.
This is incredible!
So are you!
ayyyyyy lol didn't expect to see you here :P
always giving me shivers 5 years later
damn jsut made same comment :D same mate! I feel this music so much!
I was hypnotized. I'm sure.
One of the best song i've ever heard. An i've heard a lot.
This has NOTHING to do with electronic-KOAN Sound-music.
This. Is. Just. Pure. Art.
It's transitions are just so smooth! So so beautiful. It gives me a different kind of flow!
Awesome that they put the ACTUAL koan sound at the end.
Everyone is commenting about skrillex yes I do love skrillex but you must also admire this beautiful and the wonderful producer who made it KOAN great song much support
The power of the human mind.
This video speaks to me in volumes. Why am I only seeing this now? Beautiful… just beautiful. A magical journey through other dimensions.
I think that everyone should be told that the dislike button isn't for songs you don't like. It's actually for songs you think didn't have any EFFORT put into. This song obviously did.
actually man i am rather sure it is just to let things know that you dislike or like a video so that you can either see more of it or less of it and it all comes down to preference man, don't be a mong
You may be right.
Knowing about music production immensely improves your ability to appreciate a track. After i started producing I looked at my favourite songs in a completely different way
This needs way more Views.
This is actually beautiful! I can't believe people are actually commenting asking where the drop is. They're exactly what's wrong with the scene nowadays. Well done KOAN/Asa , this is great.
This is epic.. more please..
when the majority of the song is "most replayed", you know you've done something right
You can totally hear the influence of Sigur Ros in those strings arrangements.
KOAN Sound is amazing, although I miss their glitch-hop style.
Miss? They still make glitch hop.
I know, but they are making light tracks like this, too. Their new EP is going to be good though.
jcast18k They are allowed to make whatever they want to.
Who WOULD NOT want to be there, right now?
the music is emotional and I just loved how the music & video really came together. :)
incredibly atmospheric sound design and honestly the coolest animated watercolor paintings i've seen in a long time
Asa Akira is a good producer got to give her that ! :p
Fuck yeah 😻
Personally I think it's their best work.
A wonderful travel ....
Fake.
auqa3456 no shit sherlock
XD
Oh my god
One of the best songs ever, no doubt!
¿Donde esta el comentario de skrillex?
Until now, i still listen to this song
wow
Absolutely one of my favorite songs ever four years later. This and Starlite are absolutely GORGEOUS. Well done KOAN Sound.
where is the drop?
Are you fucking kidding me?

one of the tracks that supported me a lot many times
skrillex feel off the face of the earth
IVE LISTEND TO THIS FOR TOO LONG!!!!! AND I JUST CANT LET IT GO!!!
this literaly made me cry WTF
2:04 Hey look, the Koan Sound logo!
Most beautiful song I've heard in a while :3
that symbol is a symbol of sacred geometry, it unlocks the secrets of the universe. Light and Love!
dubstep for your eyes
Dubstep forever 🍃
the music and art are both equally stunning and beatuiful
Anyone notice the Koan sound logo on the tree @2:03?
the harmony in this song is delicious
LSD+THIS VIDEO = BEST WHAT I SEE IN MY LIFE

Indeed they do, they will probably be my two favourite.
Skrillera no quiero erirte pero skrillex afirmo que se siente atraido por los hombres mas que por las muejres
