😅😅😅😅😅😅
😊 Thank you for bringing me to a calmer being.
Everything has synth keyboard sounds in it. Would be nice if there were some real plain accoustic instruments and less synthetic sounds.
@@emmalouie1663 Yes. The cello sounds good.
I'm a simple person. I see the words "cello" and "dark" and I click. Thumbs up!
Look up Montana Cellist...
@@driven531 I never knew I needed this until I heard it. The biggest problem was, "which playlist to put it in".
Well, after checking out "Montana Cellist", I now have a "Chello" playlist.
Thank you.
Li'lBlu RidingHood 🌹💙 You’re my kind of person! “Cello” and “Dark:” I get it! Take care and stay awesome! 😊
@@driven531 Thank you for this recommendation :)
I'm also a simple person. i see the words ''deep'' ''dark'' ''relax''...Birds up!
The most glorious instrument ever
Indeed.
Don't forget about organs.
Well, after the piano.
@@thomask1424 that's debatable :D
Is the piano
It's amazing how the cello can play such a dark and melancholy sound, and yet sound so beautiful and haunting all at the same time. I find myself always coming back to this video.
Agreed, its haunting and sad, but also brooding and somewhat sinister. Perfection.
Listen to Rasputina of you think you'd like cello rock
Tragic, considering that you've probably not listened to a single classical cello concerto. They're much better
@@antoinepetrov im in need for a low and evil sounding cello concerto, is there any????
Who's listening to this masterpiece in the quarantine ?
Simo_ Aksachli me
Simo_ Aksachli me
very much suits our today's world
I have found my UA-cam favorites all during quarantine this 2020. I mean, i love all the music, but that says a lot about todays world.
I am
I just drove 20 miles from work to home while listening to this in my car...I don’t remember the drive home.
Rachael Trongeau ....and all as the police is bashing in my front door haha wouldn’t that be something?
.....works 20 miles?....damn bro...
Hahahahahahahaha
Autopilot, every pothole, bump, line.. burned in your mind, as indistinguishable silhouettes pass by.
Hahahaha
i am listening to this while the sound of rain and thunder echos around me, it is indescribable how good this feels
Although that type of weather does intrigue me, I am simply listening to this on a cold, dreary [albeit a sunny] day in December.
The same here. I am drinking a glass of wine and it's thundering and raining outside. Indescribable beauty.
That sounds 'Simply Mindblowing' . . . will have to wait for the rainy season (in Central, TX) to start . . . . . going to give it a listen!!!!!!!
It's Night and the room is dark, I have 2 UA-cam windows open, on one monitor I have this playing. On the other I have a Victorian London Street during a rain shower with some thunder. I've mixed the audio levels so that it sounds Magnificent with the rain complimenting the cello. Hypnotic
Cello on. . .
❤ "' most popular '" on my list ❤ love it, ❤ michigan viewer ❤ cello, only music, ❤❤❤
That reverb is an entity of itself. I want to fall into it
Dark Meditation Music should be a genre in itself.
Psychosis perhaps you’d enjoy the Cryochamber Channel! It’s not meditative per sé but it is very deep and dark and sometimes use it for deep thinking in general.
@@heirofspinoza813 Wordclock is my favorite dark ambient artist from Cryochamber!
☢ G-Zone ☢ ah yes I like them as well. I am a Sphäre Sechs fan myself.
I thought it was.
Agreed. I have a few playlist here on UA-cam dedicated to this type of music. Searching for more...
Reading Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and listening to this with headphones. Simply a deep experience!
Me too!!! 🖒
We have put her living in the tomb
@@SamuelBlack84 and that proves why it's one of the best Gothic stories ever
Omg I was reading "The Premature Burial" to this.
Can you elaborate on the comment hillbilly? Thankyou. Its just I want you to know..I dont care.
These cello sounds stir me as I sit & ponder on the vast abyss- that is my current marriage.
Are you ok?
You can call me weird but I sometimes listen to this and stare in the dark and clear my head of all my troubles and stress as a form of meditation.
Weird really just means something someone else is not familiar with...
Sincerely,
Way Out Weirdo
😉
@@Sunshine_Daydream222 I get called weird, eccentric and quirky all the time, being called these names I take as compliments. Being called weird - to me - just means limited edition.
super weird
better try real cello. might work better.
I agree ... I think his "imp" got him to misspell "wired" ... 🙂
I absolutely love cellos played like this. It's beauty...I simply cannot describe how peaceful I feel right now.
Nice description, actually.
Ditto.
Ist is much better to play the Pierce yourself on the Cello! Imagine all those low notes humming through your body. 😀
There is NOT ONE REAL CELLO in here. !!! So there is nothing played, just some keys.
I love how I'm not the only one completely enamoured by this. Much love to all of you.
❤
831 dislikes from people who probably have no imagination or more importantly, no soul. I can imagine taking a slow walk through a cemetery at midnight with this MUSIC on...
The only time I can truly imagine anything I want is when I'm listening to this music I can go to old girlfriends old relationships old encounters inventions jobs tasks that I want to do and I think about how I'm going to do it and I listen to this music and that's how I am successful I don't understand who might think having an imagination is something other than???
And , speak about having ,No sole? ,it sounds like you have questions about your sole? Do you believe you have one? Or is it ,lights OUT!? , for you?... And , hello!!! , my friend... You are, because I hear you!!! Relevant...
Hearing a cello makes me feel like I’m making peace with my demons...sadness, anger, sorrow, all softly subsides and my soul is simply just still, at peace, with zero judgments... I can now rest. 🦋
Erica Glista yes! Yes!
I believe it's just music. Music sets us free, for in all its forms it speaks the language of our hearts.
Cynical
I'm sorry for your demons. May they flee and catch fleas.
Idk this makes me feel dark emotions, but I like it, gives me creative inspiration
My graduation gift from my dad was a shiny black cello. This makes me want to practice more. wonderful!
Yes!!
Just find an old crumpled house to practice at and you're all set.
Get a boat and go near a beach with lots of people. Start playing the JAWS theme song.......
What have you learned in that year? Play us a song.
Wood or carbon fiber?
This is perfect for sleep; goes for two hrs then, off. Lotsa the "sleep sounds" vids are 8hr or 10hr or..
This puts me to sleep but doesn't make my device work ALL night.
MUY BONITA, GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLA, SALUDOS DESDE SAN FELIPE DEL PROGRESO, ESTADO DE MÉXICO🇲🇽. DIOS LOS BENDIGA SHALOM🙏
“Deep Cello”
What you never knew you needed 👀💀❤️✨🙌🏻
Chello is awsome
@Yayo LOL SO FUNNY
So it’s 0-3-5 but an octave lower?
I'm Russian and I understand music is ugly Russian music for you guys will understand s*** about Russian so that's why I'm listen to this
I keep hearing Winter is Coming
Oh, my sweet summer child. What do you know about fear? Fear is for the winter when the snows fall a hundred feet deep. Fear is for the the long nights when the sun hides for years, and children are born and live and die, all in darkness. That is the time for fear, my little lord; when the white walkers move through the woods. Thousands of years ago there came a night that lasted a generation. Kings froze to death in their castles, same as the shepherds in their huts, and women smothered their babies rather than see them starve, and wept and felt their tears freeze on their cheeks. So is this the sort of story that you like? [watches as Bran nods] In that darkness the white walkers came for the first time. They swept through cities and kingdoms, riding their dead horses, hunting with their packs of pale spiders big as hounds...
The cello my favorite string instrument. I love its deep rich sound and its ability to give haunting sounds (not to scare) but to move and stir the soul. It is truly beautiful. I would put this with the dream I had last night. Truly haunting.
I listened to this during my 8th ketamine treatment. By far, the best head journey yet! Thank you ❤
inspiring. boutta snort a line rn
For when you have been through Hell and Back. Pain, Anger, Sadness, Grief. And you develop a Deeper Understanding of Life, and its Tragedies. And you can now, sit and embrace it, as it's become a part of your history. A part of you. A stronger you. 💀🖤
it's just like in bloodborne, the more insight you have, the more you begin to see things for what they really are a understanding that can drive a person mad
We're heading to disaster with AI and gene editing. The end of humanity as we know it. There's no going back now.
Yes this is just like that I feel the pain feel the anger and see the sadness
Indeed Norma.
Deep and edgy.
Will this awaken the darkness within me?
This is exactly how I like orchestral music.
Thank you.
Aniruddha Sharma the darkness is in all 🖤💀🖤
Candice Heltzel It is in all but will this awaken it? that is the question. :P
It may, If you're willing to awaken it first....
Fortunate is the soul in whom the darkness sleeps. Mine is a bright pair of eyes inside a dark doorway.
Aniruddha Sharma This is your music score as your darkness stirs
It's very good too listen to while reading a book about a young Viking lad finding his way in the world
To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
Thank you so much for your kind words! 💕🥰🙏
Thank you for saying that. This is the only music I can listen to when I get these bad headaches, and find myself in the hole. Thank you for your encouraging words!
I tried to think of sth different while listening to this, but always the image of endless white comes into my mind. Arctic winds and heavy snow. Solitude.
Never heared such a cold cello.
It speaks of a time long ago at the edge of a forest, where wild things, untrammeled by man, roamed under a full moon and behaved in ways considered to be magical.
I need tips for meditation to banish emotions.
Anyone experianced ?
@@landro3552 you don't need to banish them , but rather feel them , observe them first , acknowledge them , then feel them and let them go...
Dude yes
Landro it’s learning to be with the emotions that will win you your freedom and peace
Good comment, weirdshibainu!
This has been our soundtrack for a year, when I ran a Ravenloft campaign to my D&D group.
Needless to say that it got everyone in the mood and we had the most memorable sessions ever.
Whoever you are reading this comment I hope you have a nice sleep and a nice day tomorrow.
I actually will, this woeful music gives me the most satisfying dreams a man can have!
I listen to this music when I study old bones: bioarchaeology and mummies are my cup of tea. I'm also a musician (singer and lute player) and love cello. Many blessings from Milan, Italy.
The cello i swear reverberates all the lost souls from a distant time in the past crying out from war, heartache and love! Its 3:39 am in tx. Working late. This calms me... Deeply
As a lover of dark ambient music I cannot help but enjoying this. I hope there will be more dark meditation music videos available on this channel ;)
Agreed
Yes!
"We are all monsters in the light of perfection, but in the presence of a monster we are all perfect."
Wawww ! I love your comment. 👌
Where’s that a quote from..?
A poet, a novel, a play, a film, a song…?
It is beautifully put, I’d love to know…rather than just googling I’d rather ask you whilst complimenting you on your acuity to genius writing but of what genre pray tell & by whom….?
I shall wait in the shadows whilst exquisitely soothed by the “dark Cellist’s” talent….🤗
Yes....the 4ever shadowed soundtrack I live in..
Thank u.
This is prob one of the most peaceful things I have ever listened to. I play cello and this is the "coldest" I have ever heard a cello before in my life.
I was starting to get concerned about why I’m feeling so cold (goosebumps and general skin discomfort). Until a thought occurred that it could be the sound, that I’m emotionally, physically, experiencing. Then I read your comment and was comforted because it makes sense that sound can be manipulated into influencing sensation.
@@johnhall3444 welcome to bog standard synaestgesia: the home of most autistics.
Then you haven't listened to much cello.
I love being able to sleep to this, the low tones are so peaceful. A lot of other calming music on UA-cam have higher pitched notes like from piano and flute etc, and they make me wake up. Not that they aren’t peaceful in the right times, just not when I’m trying to sleep. 👍😴
Exactly! that's the only reason I found this
Yes higher pitches arent relaxing to me
I feel the same for this piece of smooth, low-tone music to help me calm my mind while I try to sleep.
Precisely! But if there was realistic sounding rain in the background it would be even better.
@@nunyabidness6045 there's an Android app "Rain Sounds" and it plays while UA-cam is running. I tried it and it works!
I love this kind of music, If I had to chose a music instrument to learn to play the cello would be it.
The sound of cello is so special
Listen only to the sound of my voice
Let your mind relax
Let your thoughts drift
Let the bad memories fade
Let peace be upon you
Surrender yourself to your dreams
Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean
Let them envelop you. Comfort you
Imagine somewhere calm
Imagine somewhere safe
Imagine yourself in a frozen forest
You're standing in a clearing
Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky
Pure white snowflakes fall all around
You can feel them melt on your skin
You are not cold
It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart
Can you hear it?
You only have to listen
You hear it slowing?
You're slowing it
You are in control
Calm. At peace
Sitting on my front porch at 1am and taking hits off a GB to this...
I was unsettled after a while when I realized that this music was forcing me to think of things I ignore, flaws in my life, my life goals, why I’m failing at attaining them, how I can get closer to them, all my little anxieties, paranoia’s, and insecurities... I almost turned it off.
Great meditation music. Confront your ego. Temporarily tame and temper it.
i keep coming back to this
Timely, a Most Auspicious time. Thank you Beautiful Soul
On a mountain of pain, in a castle of sarrow I sit on my throne of blood caressed by shadows. I have guarded the night for countless millenia. Always alone watching night after night for those who dare take this from me
Hauntingly beautiful.
Sets a mood for sure
These tunes inspired me to create my own channel and help bring peace into this world ☮❤ Love and light to anyone reading this!!
I love your comment. Having a cello playlist has helped me so much.
More cello dark stuff please
yes, please.
Why is this most reminding me about some apocalyptic world background where there is nothing else than darkness and dreadfull landscape of silent and emptiness?
It reminds me of just what the music makes you feel with that uneasiness and knowing how Jews felt passing through the gate that read “Arbiet Macht Frei” is exactly like this
I am not catching the same vibe as you or Heavy the CEO. I find this music to be very calming, soothing - invoking a feeling of inner peace
It's like dark winter with a small fire
Das klingt definitiv wie etwas aus Wolfenstein! Das ist sehr gut!
To see the light you have to go through darkness
*_"My mind ain't all my own these days"_*
This is beautiful, relaxing night time music. The cello is a deep base instrument, and played alone helps me focus on my prayers, and relaxing enough to sleep. Beautiful!
Grew fangs while reading and listening to this as background music. 10/10
This creeps me out, but I can’t stop listening to it. That cello is really well done o.o
BlueButterLemon lol. It is slightly creepy yet hauntingly beautiful.
The cello in the right hands is a miraculous instrument. Love this.
Music takes you wherever you want to go. It is my lifeblood
Is very dark yes but beautiful is to use in every way in any situation in all matters
Eyes that open and glow in the darkness, watching as you walk past, then following you, keeping pace behind you where the only sound is the faint echo of your footsteps, and you have no idea where you are.
They’re waiting for you to start running...
The old, abandoned castle.
Bright sunlight outside,
All craziness inside.
Love it.
I do not consider this to be dark...it is comforting.
Dark is comforting
This piece of music is simply brilliant and the picture to go with it is both eloquent and classical. Another timeless find.
I listen to this everytime i'm reading old gothic novels, always helps with the immersion.
I do World War 1 battle scenes, and this is the music that I have been searching for, for some time now. I think I've finally found what I need to use when I draw these battle fields up.
I've returned to this many time's;- and gave it a break for a while, while I was busy with other's;- but on a tough night like it is tonight;- I have decided to lean-on the House Rep';- and am back listening to the Beautiful: "Deep", "Dark";- and Haunting Cello. I just couldn't find anything else to listen to at this time;- (While I drank my Coffee... hmm...);- and lay on the Bed with my Vaporiser.
This is so pure and raw...what you hear is a soul laid bare
I have been blaring this in the kitchen and my work shifts seem more relaxed.
It stirs the settled dark
Churning the air of that all but forgotten place
'tween space and mind; beyond thought and time;
A memory lost; A remembered grace;
No fear no woe
No friend no foe
Thought lifts us from where we stand
We are witness to ourselves reflected upon the land
We weave a tale all our own
Known by all as all is known
Nothing unseen; All is washed clean;
Into the Dreamers' Dream we embark
Until again we stir the settled dark
This has given me a idea. May I use this in it?
Love this.
Who wrote that? I really like that one.
WOW. Is this your original? Fantastic.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream
Not knowing what happens in the future is the reason I want to end it in the present. Knowing that I have some control over my fate brings peace to my soul.
Very well said...and understood
🖤🙏🖤
Deep chords and harmonics; the perfect ballance for deep thought and expression
I asociate the unknown darkness of the ocean depths while listening to this...
Luxurious and soothing sounds. Deep low & very , very slow. Goodnight Rabbit 🐇
I am writing a dark magical tale set in the late Victorian period, magicians and religious fanatics and things and I've listened to this dozens of times as I construct my plot and visualise my created world! Thank you Greenred Productions!
I've found my sound. I am dark, i am depressed, I am nothing. Here is where I belong. I am home in my darkness. No light, no shine, no air. Let it take over me.
It's weird because I have light, hope, and joy... and this is my jam, too.
When I saw this eight months ago I immediately dropped what I was doing and walked outside...and kept walking. I walked through yards, over freeways, across fields, over mountains. I walked through day and night. I walked through hail storms, blizzards, and even a small earthquake. I'm back now. Good video!
Metaphorically? Or literally?
For real?
It's dark, and I cried. It drives me through all my regrets in the past.. Very strong vibes ♥
The music in paradise is beyond ... its far more alive and beautiful to the extreme!!!!
Zherka
"What is the music of life?"
"Cello my brother"
Unless its played by some orc bard, then you just murder it
Sublime
I'm a cellist who was looking for some inspiration to play some dark improvised freeform... thank you for the inspiration 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Why are people calling this dark and sinister, and haunting, and melancholic. This is the sound of your heart beating at rest. Just visualize your heart echo into the world, sometimes we forget the odds of being alive. I'm so glad I found cello music, I've really been wasting so much time with different music, everything right now seems like noise and then the Cello like an old grandfather clock with a pendulum swinging and now I'm hypnotized. My mind opening to regions unknown like the dark, deep ocean where things glow to make light. I want to blast all these light bulbs, we became soft and now our security is insecurities. I want to light a🕯️ and watch shadows turn into shapeshifting creatures. It is all this light that falsely empowers but true darkness is where I'm renewed. The cello has put my mind at the seat of all those who conquered the world. I remember all my enemies and laugh, I remember all my depression and laugh; laughing in the darkness scares evil away. Maybe to understand this illusion, we must see upside down. This place is the secret of secrets that no beloved could dare. Who am I? Who am I? Am I just observing or participating in creation? Who are all these people leading me away from my center? O future beloved, you will have to come to me🏔️I am the watcher of the mountain peak, bearing the scepter what must I seek? I am one with all desired, fill my coiffure with more Wisdom, this invisible gold the hounding thieves and wavering fools can never find. To be continued...... somewhere away from all this ramataz social media Unite all your darkness with all light, this new Age is of Harmonizing not polarizing, go to your center of Self do not follow fools to the center of the universe, theirs is only met with more conundrums and darkness. Be at ONE! That's the magic behind the Cello, many notes played as one
Dark Moon, starless night, brooding clouds...Releasing tension, letting go of the past, attachments, projections, fears, worries and anxieties. Deepening into acceptance, forgiveness and surrender. Trusting in the healing process, allowing destiny to unfold in its own time. No more forcing, contriving or resisting the flow of the Tao... Feeling the weight of the body dropping down into the earth, as the burden of struggling subsides. Effortlessly abandoning questions and need for answers. No more craving. Only this moment, and the gentle ebb and flow of the natural breath in the belly. Exhale and relax. Let nature take its course. Relinquish desire, and rest in the presence of soothing sounds to gently ease your pain. All things pass, until only peace and tranquility remain, and the silence of the quiet mind.
Absolutely LOVE this. I am a loner and this touches me deeply.
From the first note it sent a chill up my spine. It's so rare to find music that can still do that to me. I think a found my new favorite instrument.
Yes, it's rare to find good songs, do you have any recommendations?
@@drumal9835 do you ?
Play for yourself and feel your intuitions🙏🏻
Lucas king, Peter Gundry, Invadable Harmony. 3 of my favourites with similar music to this.
An unmatched and powerful weapon that can bring anybody full of sin to there knee's.
Darkness does not exist. No matter where you are or what you're doing there is always light present, doesn't matter if you can see it or not, it's there.
If I try sleeping to this I'll literally dream myself into the Game of Thrones world.
Same!!! 😂😂😂
Tried it and I can confirm. 20/20 will do it again.
YES, i knew i couldn't be the only one with MAJOR Game of Thrones vibes
And if you are high af its way better
I am much more in a max payne scenario 😇🔫🥃
As a story writer and story Teller I can tell that these soundtracks inspire me the most, so, Iike it :)
The soundtrack fits prettyperfect to the scene where my Dark wizard meets the group of Heros to smash there hope with sheer words, to send them in a never ending misery of suffering/Pain.
(Sry, bad English)
He saw the hammock rocking back and forth in the dark.. watching the sway in the breeze began to think about that sensation..
to swing so effortlessly yet it made no sound.. he turned around and sat on the edge, then positioned himself within its full length.. the motion soothing.. counting each time it went from left right to work out its natural beat.. that helped to soothe his mind at times.. calm his thoughts when worried or unsure..
Sometimes it was as if he could see music where there was nothing visible..
he didn't talk about it much because he didn't think people would understand..
Within his own private thoughts he was safe to explore the wonders of all that music had to offer.. around him his own family talked about things that didn't always interest him that much.
He didn't feel he could relate.. on so many levels .. but within his mind was a private world wanting to come forth and be seen..
He lay with his hand behind his head and looked into the darkness above.. his eyes looking at the moon.. if the moon had a song to represent itself honestly.. what would it sound like..
would it include the feeling of weightlessness.. and yet still have a solidarity.. how would it express itself as both light and darkness.. which disproved the claims the two can't co-exist.. was there not a darkside to the moon?
To have a darkside means to have a non dark side..
The sky itself displayed that dark and light co-exist.. for shadows themselves are only seen when a light source is introduced somewhere.. yet he felt much like the stars and the night sky some light source needed to be much further distanced. He didn't like the way some people viewed the dark.
They didn't understand it. Appreciate it properly..
The light may serve its purpose at times.. but often people became blinded within it.
Those within the light feared darkness so greatly and yet.. by being in the light they cast their shadows upon others.. yet they couldn't exist without the light in the first place.
Oxy-moron he thought.
Irony.. disillusioned, incredulous, those who appreciated the dark could see what was cast from the shadows of the hearts of the light-bearers ..
I used to listen this while I was playing Shelock Holmes Vs Jack the Ripper. Other level❤
I love it!!!! SOoo dark...and deep.♥♥♥
This makes me feel like im watching a movie . But I cant see it
Lia Johnson let your mind go.... it’s time to start to write
Feels like I am a Viking in the warship with a top notch hero pose.... Fire arrows are slowly approaching towards me.... All that 300 style lut on the screen.... 😊😊
Listening in the dark cosmic waters iss relaxing......luv this rendition
This was uploaded 5 years ago, and it still helps me sleep and focus :) 🖤💚💙
I’ve been into metal since I was 14, I’m 55 now and sometimes I need to sit and relax, this is just what I need👍
Same :)
I've been into metal since 13! I'm 16 now but still.
Metal is comprised of the classical minor scales a lot of the time (the darker tones of early Sabbath, Zeppelin etc...)
If you think of some of the melodies in this video and imagine them being played by Kim Thayil of Soundgarden or Tony Iommi of Sabbath it makes perfect sense! 😉
Planet Caravan was my go to metal chill out music when I was a teen. I too am 55.
P.S.Check out the band Om, for dark chill metal.
@@lahaza6515 Don't forget Geezer or Al Cisneros
The smooth and rich full bodied sound combined with the brooding melancholic and even sinister tones make for an experience that leaves your mind to write it's stories told on stormy nights
I had a stressful day and I came across this. Even though I haven't watched even half of it, I know it's going to help.
