This band and this song specifically, have helped me through a very rough time in my life.. I am stronger that I have literally survived it without overdosing or getting fucked up in jail.. Choose Life motherfuckers!!
Anthem for 2020. No lyrics could capture the strange times we're in. Thank you Godspeed crew - it's not nice to be here, but it's soul-restoring to know I'm not alone in this.
I remember listening to F#A# immediately after 9/11. It seemed to fit perfectly. "We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine." It's as if they can channel the future. Or perhaps because they have a gloomy outlook they're never wrong.
the feelings I've been boulder-shouldering, for years now. thank you for capturing these long held, deep feelings, in your words, this message here. thank you @Matthew Chambers-Sinclair

@@breeeegs there's acutally a video on here that's titled ''timelapse of the entire universe'' and another titled ''timelapse of the future''. The second one is really dark but quite beautiful in some ways. Check them out!

With this track I just imagine a sky with calm weather during the first part, perhaps in the morning. Then clouds and eventually a storm in the second section. The third part is where the clouds finally break and the sun comes through again as the music turns hopeful again
holy shit this is good! I love how they get all stoner rock near the end with clean guitars but it still comes off as heavy despite the lack of down tuning and distortion, great song.
A farewell. It truly is. How many times have I said this but to just go back. Far to many times to know this feeling right now is different. It's sad but not the pain isn't as deep or as painful as before. Our nations Independence is approaching now. Less than a week away. Far to many are acting and not believing. I am an immigrants son. A United States citizen to two immigrant parents from Guerrero Mexico. From Aztec descent. A proud Aztec warrior and believer of its God's as well as a proud Catholic. I come from and grew up on black and white culture. Jazz, blues and rock and roll. All I can do is write and so I do. I am proud to be part of this nation and what it stands for. Hopefully we can show the nation indivisible by God. Show the world the birth of a new nation. United States of America as great as our nation has been there have also been many injustices done as well. Far to many that just cannot be simply ignored. The selfish, the greedy and the heartless are sitting to comfortably. Their day is coming. Yet as our government currently stands falls way behind standards. The one mistake was taking religion out of government. We ought to have constitutients that the love and hope of God in their hearts if they are to serve as part of our nation. Why take that out? We are also putting faith and beliefs into things we have never witnessed or experienced before. Yes we read it or think it's in the Bible but you got to build faith, hope and trust on the tangible. Otherwise if anything bad happens we can simply brush off responsibility and blame the promise that no one made to us but we believe it did so in the Bible and by God. Nothing is ever going to get fixed if we keep blaming God. For one he never promised me or anyone anything. He never came before me and told me empty promises. My parents did. My pastor did. Yet how could God had told them anything if had not even been born yet. The Bible is book of prophecies. On human behavior. We are that predictable. So Jeremiah 4 is actually happening right now. The cities have been abandoned. Lo and behold I look up into the sky and no light. Lo and behold I looked into the mountains and felt the earth shaking. It's currently Mexico and the mass leaving of its people. As a woman giving birth to her first born is heard screaming. I am surrounded by my assassins. God has not even been born. What a better way to keep him safe than the world do what it does best. Blame someone other than themselves. The guilty never go beyond the surface. God has been trying and trying for thousands of years. Every one of us had the potential to be themselves. Rarely does any ever truly become self. I have. I have been. Jesus Christ no he was alcoholic and had a foot fetish. I am lizandro salgado. A meth user. That's not right God or Jesus Christ doesnt do meth. How do you know? For once try something different. All we have been doing is the same thing believing its the right way. I'm saying it's not. Don't hang out with those people they are a bad influence. Then let me be a good influence on them. How is your thinking in any way selfish and just evil. We are your over lords. Rip and tear every false prophet. Rip and tear where they called home including their children and anyone willing to defend these so-called kings. My people are stupid and do not know how to do good. They only learned to do evil. A reckoning is coming. Change your evil ways or when we come back you will regret ever becoming more than just a thought. Still here when we come back judgment will be upon your so called God, whoever mothered him will be trialed as well. Along with anyone who pushed this foolish agenda. Watching an evil act and do nothing then you should not judge any anyone lesser than you. You are the low of lowest animals. True leaders with integrity can only judge even if he has to become God jury and exucutioner. Kill this man then only blame your ignorance for whoever long Your suffering continues. So as long as the lowly creature drags his guilt and shame your suffering shall never end. We are leaving you to your own devices. Tell them whatever lie you want about defeating me. I leave you these so called riches to you and your people are the True rulers of these lands. Or until we come back to reclaim and fight what we have left you. I will return every so often if by the 3rd ***. Of the 13th ************* 4 of my men will come to help you in your need. Name as you want they are powerful allies. One of your allies has arrived. Corruption is conquest. You breed your own punishment. You create that which you seek to destroy. Yourself. 1+1+1+1+4=1 eat it nerds. I don't believe in equality, I don't believe in absolutes, I don't believe we should all be created equal. The means that created you were the means that defined them. Shell Shock. I am the first ally that was promised. War. My wisdom here is to help out your enemy after a battle. You never win the war when you kill him and his home. Hopefully in the next battle instead of dealing a death blow he returns the favor and helps you out. Kill and just kill then read my writing above.
They are the only true friends I have .... the only ones who give me a glimmer of hope for an uncertain future caused by my health conditions .... Thanks for existing GY! BE ps: thank you ghoulala for this extraordinary sharing ....ty again p.
Definitely the best track on the album. I think the first track is the only other one that can even begin to compare. Unlike everything else on this album, this one actually left an impression on me... *Four years later edit: This was a terrible take, the whole album is great, this is just the climax and a perfect sendoff so of course it stands out.
Totally agreed. It's not like the rest of the album isn't fantastic, but this sublime monster here takes it all! And it hits a lot of different emotions as well. It sounds more like a complex and classic Godspeed journey than the other ones.
My damned pocket serves The Powers That Be and clicked the dislike button when I wasn't looking. Think I should debate politics and awesome, sublime instrumental music with my pants more often! Mistake corrected, and video properly liked! Thanks for the upload!
Thank you GY!BE. One day we will achieve NO STATE.
This band and this song specifically, have helped me through a very rough time in my life.. I am stronger that I have literally survived it without overdosing or getting fucked up in jail.. Choose Life motherfuckers!!
James Livingston stay strong, brother!
hey, thanks
Glad to read that

Personally, I think it's rather sad that godspeed plays along with the states narrative about covid19

Very, very few artists had the balls to come out against the mainstream narrative on the plandemic.
There are at least 50,000 people who are similar to me in this way,
One which I believe is rare enough to be the most important thing,
If you're all across the world, the chances are we won't bump into one other,
But maybe we can entertain the fantasy of connection through this screen.
If somebody reading this is from Barcelona, we should gather to sleep on the beach

The entirety of music history exists simply as a buildup for when Sophie's violin breaks out of the din & forces the rest of the musical universe to follow her lead.
Goddamn.
ikr it's almost like a rallying cry or something in pt III
Amen
Goddamn indeed
can you timestamp the moment youre talking about?

This song is like seeing the entire history of the universe flashing in your eyes
I wish someone would make a time lapse video of that with this song.
@@breeeegs there's acutally a video on here that's titled ''timelapse of the entire universe'' and another titled ''timelapse of the future''. The second one is really dark but quite beautiful in some ways. Check them out!
That release at 12:27 is absolutely gorgeous.
That violin is one of the best things my ears could hear so far!
Reminded me a bit of early Mike Oldfield, e.g. Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn etc - louder and looser though, more angry.
Fucking orgasmic.

pt.1は狂気てきな恐怖を感じる。真っ暗で何も見えず、何もわからくて、変質的である。なにかに迫られているようだ。しかし何に責められているのかはわからない。救いは何もない。
pt.２はpt.1に比べて目が見えてきたが相変わらず薄暗く息苦しくて重たく、靄が張っている。自分の足で前に歩くことはできるようになったがしかしどこに向かえばいいのかはわからない。たまに刺激が訪れ灯りが見えるがそれははかなく消える。刺激が何だったのかはわからない。どこかに母のやさしさのような温かさがある。
pt.3はようやく目の前に元凶が表れる。彼はごちゃごちゃしていて何んなのかもわからないがそこにいる。一歩ずつ近づいてきて追ってくる。走って逃げるがどこまでも追ってくる。追い詰められ、戦うことを決意する。その混沌とがむしゃらに向き合うが、手立てがみつからない。追い詰められて万事休すになる。しかし、どこからか現れた、周囲の（友人？）助けによってその元凶が紐解かれていく。塔のようなものを上っていくうち混沌は単純なものになってい行く。上の方で光が見える。駆け上がりたい。最後駆け上がったとき、外の空は雲がかかり境から光が差し込む。まだ暗いがさっきほどまでの場所よりよほど生きやすい。
これは思春期の葛藤のようにいも思えるが、もっと広域な時代や国においての思春期の葛藤のようなものではないだろうか。人間の思春期の葛藤にしてはずっと薄暗いまますぎる。
人間共同体である社会は近年蔓延的な迷いがあることは感じている。どこに向かい、敵は誰で、何をすべきなのか。すべてがわからない。前の時代ははっきりしていた。革命であり、戦争であり、隣人愛である。しかし、現在はすべてが失われている。そのような社会の共通意識を『国のない国家』として認識に訴えているのだろう。
作曲者自身は思春期に対する答えを持ち合わせていないようだが、私たちがすべきことは感じているようだ。視界を開き隣人をよく見ることだろうか。その先に時代の開きは見えてくるだろうと語っているように感じた。

One of the best things ever made in the whole universe.
Una delle cose più belle mai realizzate in tutto il creato.
Grazie, GY!BE.
Truly a timeless song
1:35 is one of my favorite moments in all of music
I particularly love the second part.
there's something oddly satisfying about the end of this track being in a pretty standard pop chord progression.
Definitely a masterpiece. Extraordinary.
pure creativity and imagination in every single note, transition and even the name of it...
Still got it.
They are the only true friends I have .... the only ones who give me a glimmer of hope for an uncertain future caused by my health conditions .... Thanks for existing GY! BE ps: thank you ghoulala for this extraordinary sharing ....ty again p.
One of the best GY!BE songs!
pure work of continued genius!
It's a masterpiece. It's the best piece of music since the moonlight sonata.
these people really are master classic musicians with access of today's technology...
Despite the ads, many thanks.
their music always creeps me out idk why
c'est magnifique, on parle de quoi, beaucoup, merci. C'est super !
Great Track! Great Album!
So cool, Sophie’s violin simulates a B3 organ here
4 weeks and 1 day from today... my birthday present for myself.. live at Paradiso, Amsterdam :D

it's in the one you left on the dining room table. you should see a set of keys, it'll probably be somewhere in the middle.
I was about to order this until I noticed that the £7 album cost between £6 and £35 to post?!?!
