Exactly, I literally just had a bit of a existential crisis trying to figure out what I was going to listen to next, then I decided to listen to this and I feel calm, almost like my thoughts reset.
ive noticed (even from just a few songs) that you make music that has both a set beat and odd notes at even more odd intervals-which ends out sounding pretty darn good if i do say so myself. the instruments you use are amazing in creating a general tone/aesthetic in your music, and even with my limited knowledge of music theory or composing a song this is great. thanks for another amazing song!!
I noticed this too. Especially with this song. Lots of REALLY awesome rhythms which completely avoid the time signature and use heck tons of off beats. I love the parts where he does this and uses the rhythms to also mess with your perception of the time signature, then returns you back to it smoothly. It's so cool!!
What I think is going on is that the gas section is laying a nice 4/4 groove and the melody is 5/4 and giving an off kilter groove, because the the two sections line up time wise fairly often. Or the song could just be in a syncopated weird 5/8 fuckery
i've had this loop for a while now and i gotta say i genuinely smile at 0:59 and 2:51 your music is such an inspiration for me man,, keep doing what your doing
i seem to remember a comment discussing the instruments used on this song somewhere but maybe im just imagining it... so i'll list what i hear in order, for practice and for curiousity 0:01 a very soft/muffled piano (reminds me of the koe no katachi soundtrack) 0:53 some synth that sounds really cool and reminds me of a honkytonk piano (plz if anyone knows the name of this sound i gotta know cus it sounds so cool) 1:04 unfiltered/bright piano 1:29 toms and hi-hat? idk drums :s 1:30 another synth similar to the first 1:47 "bwooow" i rlly dont know synths sm1 help +snare i think 1:56 a synth that looks like a scribble in my mind 2:03 bells and very cute ones at that i think the rest r returning instruments but i could be mistaken, anyway 10/10 song makes me very happy
I don't plan on getting into the music industry but if I do, this is what I want to become. You're my music idol Oliver, and probably for so many other people too. Never forget that we love you so much ♥️
Love this song as it really keeps to the theme of the name to vacillate wavering between actions the song always feels like it's indecisive not knowing what way to go but it powers through the ideas and at the ends settles for a wonderful culmination it's a story of how music is made you don't just poof up a master piece it's a matter of trying lots of ideas vacillating between ideas till you make something you are proud of
Im going to try and describe this song as im listening. this song is very indigo for the beginning, mostly blue colors with some hints of orange if that makes sense. Lots of happy little waves at the beginning, then we start to see some straight lines but still in some circular motions. When the beats come it, we see green and yellow bubbles, but not full bubbles, they're mostly connected. They're alot of bounce and the rings bells are very sharp but happy, glowing yellow. There's alot of shapes and colors in this song and its so beautiful, there's some string shapes and near the end middle part smells like raspberries. There's alot of orange and yellow jot near the end, very bouncy and curvy. Near the end for the static is goes purple and pixel like. Your music is truly a work of art :)
You literally have no idea how much I love your music man something about it bops and you deserve so much more recognition ‘cause I always listen to this while I’m working it just goes so hard 🕺💃
I heard this song through the Joel G website and it was so comforting to me and I can't tell why. It just makes me really happy and I appreciate this song so much
Such delightful syncopation, and I love how the chords and melody are unique and interesting but still catchy! The variety of sounds you used is also pretty cool. I keep returning to this song. :)
I discovered this song today and have found myself listening to it several times over. I am really struggling to find the words to describe how it makes me feel. Part of me feelings like I listen to it over and over because I want to try and find the words to describe it, the other part of me just isnt satisfied because it doesnt seem to resolve. It also seems like no matter how much I listen to it, I cant remember any of it. It is just so unique and wild. I love it. I just really want a backstory behind the image that comes with it.
A friend of mine made the art as I was starting this piece. Their artwork felt like a lot of different things at once in a coherent image, and I decided to try and write something that had lots of disparate ideas meshing together in one piece that was neither one thing, nor the other, vacillating between ideas!
@@OliverBuckland I never expected to get an answer, but that’s pretty crazy. Keep up the good work, I’ve listened to a lot of your pieces and each one is so unique
I was bindging your stuff after watching ENA and thinking of mapping some songs for Beat Saber and maybe uploading them to UA-cam. Was verrrry pleasantly surprised to see this video
This music feels nice. It’s a strange way to describe it, but I’m autistic and in a way I feel music rather than listen. It it very smooth. Like a new blanket from the local home store. Or when you are on a boat on a small lake and the boat goes whoosh.., very smoothly. I like it!! I really like it and it will be going onto my playlist... :D
i've had this map for a while now and only JUST noticed this video exists i actually just searched "oliver buckland" in beatsaver because i wanted to see if any maps existed, and this was the only one
I absolutely love the ragtimey sounds that some of your songs have, I don’t care that I’m two years late because this is amazing. Keep making what you’re making. (Also I like how the first minute of the song makes me feel like I’m listening through someone’s wall, it’s kind of funny)
i listen to music like this when I am feeling not quite the best, it always somehow energizes me and makes me really happy. I truly would not be able to cope with some of the stuff I go through without this song and others like it
Я так люблю эту песню... Я не могу её ни с чем ассоциировать, она просто прекрасная. 1:28 мой любимый момент, он звучит так круто. ОКЕЙ, Я ВСЕХ ОБМАНУЛА! 2:52 ТОЧНО МОЙ ЛЮБИМЫЙ МОМЕНТ Я в третий раз всех обманула, мой любимый момент это 00:00 - 4:10
Overjoyed to have my map featured here! :D
Good job!!
I can't thank you enough for making it!
@@OliverBuckland where you at all inspired by super paper mario at 1:55 because this sounds a lot like super paper mario
NO, OVERPIYED
The lighting is absolutely fantastic
started listening through ENA and now I'm genuinely hooked. your music gives me an otherworldly feel and makes me feel calm and collected.
Exactly, I literally just had a bit of a existential crisis trying to figure out what I was going to listen to next, then I decided to listen to this and I feel calm, almost like my thoughts reset.
@@chainmengaming this really is the music to just exist to. Let the mind run for a bit
same
When i’m down, Oliver Buckland. When i’m angry, Oliver Buckland. When i’m dead…
PLAY PENDENT AT MY FUNERAL IDIOTS!!!!!!!
Yeah, Oliver’s a legend. I can see why his music was picked for ENA.

your music is such an inspiration for me man,, keep doing what your doing
I love the weird note intervals. It feels like a song that I could vibe with in a bad time.
hah, im currently using this song to help me with my bad time lmao
1:28 Amazing how this song goes from chill to electric swing in 2 seconds
i seem to remember a comment discussing the instruments used on this song somewhere but maybe im just imagining it... so i'll list what i hear in order, for practice and for curiousity
0:01 a very soft/muffled piano (reminds me of the koe no katachi soundtrack)
0:53 some synth that sounds really cool and reminds me of a honkytonk piano (plz if anyone knows the name of this sound i gotta know cus it sounds so cool)
1:04 unfiltered/bright piano
1:29 toms and hi-hat? idk drums :s
1:30 another synth similar to the first
1:47 "bwooow" i rlly dont know synths sm1 help +snare i think
1:56 a synth that looks like a scribble in my mind
2:03 bells and very cute ones at that
i think the rest r returning instruments but i could be mistaken, anyway 10/10 song makes me very happy
0:53 is a sine and triangle wave, w/ some reverb
2:03, the bell sounds are crotales! (A bit like a bell and a cymbal had a baby)
Thanks for listening!
@@OliverBuckland the creator himself! thank you for the response and keep up the great work :D
1:47 is the sound effect used for the "shake to shuffle" in ipod nano
@@OliverBuckland tysm and also, can you pls make your next release titled as electricity
I don't plan on getting into the music industry but if I do, this is what I want to become. You're my music idol Oliver, and probably for so many other people too. Never forget that we love you so much ♥️

I immedietly ran to play this, such a good map
yeah its very cleanly timed and charted.
Oliver, your music is otherworldly. 0:48 - 1:27 is absolutely perfect.

Synaesthesia?
@@OliverBuckland mayhaps,, I haven't gotten any diagnosis or anything but I guess so
Wow what… you can smell music or not idk what hahaha.
@@sarcashd3991I haven't heard of folks being able to smell music, but a fair few experience music visually, myself included!
@@OliverBuckland your music makes so much more sense after this knowledge
rhythm game visuals are so hypnotic.
i can never get good at them.
I can't believe this doesn't have that much attention despite the fact this is amazing
vacillate is my alarm sound
2023 update: I can't believe I've had it for so long already. Never fails, never disappoints!
I can’t explain it but this song feels like it belongs in a Pixar film as the opening song. Love this track!!
I LOVE BEAT SABER TYSM!
PLEASE MAKE YOUR NEXT RELEASE!
I really love your music, dude!
Using a Beat Saber map as your official visualizer is megabrain
I'm playing this as soon as I get the chance
You literally have no idea how much I love your music man something about it bops and you deserve so much more recognition ‘cause I always listen to this while I’m working it just goes so hard 🕺💃
I don't know what to say except that this song is one of my favourites, I absolutely love it
I have no idea how I got here, but I absolutely love it, I've been looking for something unique like this for a while.
It took me long to realize that it was Oliver Buckland channel
you've very quickly become one of my favourite musicians!! keep being epic :]
this song smells like a scented candle that has a hint of raspberries and strawberries to me
I heard this song through the Joel G website and it was so comforting to me and I can't tell why. It just makes me really happy and I appreciate this song so much
i can't wait to hear more of your music, man! your music has such a distinct tone i love.
The video corresponds so well with the piece. Phenomenal!
i hope you post more of your songs here since theyre like really good
I would've loved to describe/analyse this but I don't know the exact terms I can use...
NO, YOU WOULD'VE EXPLODED TO DESCRIBE/ANALYSE THIS BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE EXCAT TERMS YOU CANNOT USE
Love your music man, gives off this unique vibe that you dont see much anymore, and it's great!
Such delightful syncopation, and I love how the chords and melody are unique and interesting but still catchy! The variety of sounds you used is also pretty cool. I keep returning to this song. :)
beatsaber goes surprisingly well with this song. banger
Thank You for awesome music!
obsessed with 2:03
This sounds so great! I'd like to hear it and download it to my offline videos! Great for feeling vibes during trips.
this song just keeps on giving
your music presses the buttons in my brain
This music SLAPS I wish so much I had noticed it sooner. I can't stop listening to it now
0:00 - 1:03 is so nostalgic to me...
it was good times
Thank you for uploading this song! I absolutely love your music
For some reason I love how it casually tops out the speakers at the end there. Just fades off into sound annihilation.
this is so awesome, the map and the song are both terrific
I WANT A PIANO TUTORIAL SO BADD BUT I CANT FIND ONE
Made me genuinely say "oh shit" at 1:01

uncountable how many times i've loved this video. everything's so perfect, the lights, the beats, the swings, the auwhauhduhaugwyuwahusguhg
you know that someone's an excellent composer when they can confidently use strange half-key notes and make it sound incredible at that
yeah this a bop time to shill this to everyone i know
I really love ur music! I hope someday I can make music as amazing as urs!
I was bindging your stuff after watching ENA and thinking of mapping some songs for Beat Saber and maybe uploading them to UA-cam. Was verrrry pleasantly surprised to see this video
Your music is amazing, I often use it as background tunes for my videos. Thank you so much
Im in love with this song
This is actually going to keep me up at night wondering what the picture is supposed to be
This song makes me feel like I lost an old friend
Oliver ,you are a amazing artist and I love your music. Your music always keeps me together ❤️
It has a very Mario-esque whimsical tone, I love it!
OH NO, VACILLATE IS ON BEAT SABER

Or when you are on a boat on a small lake and the boat goes whoosh.., very smoothly. I like it!! I really like it and it will be going onto my playlist... :D
I’m autistic too and it’s the same for me. It’s just very soothing and as you said just feels very smooth. It really helps me out.
I dont know why, but, this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard
THAT'S MUSIC IS AMAZING. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. You going to my favourite music list. Beautiful. Thank you Oliver!
Oh, it's 2 my comment in this video.
God your music is always a ride
I dont know why, but this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard
i've had this map for a while now and only JUST noticed this video exists
i actually just searched "oliver buckland" in beatsaver because i wanted to see if any maps existed, and this was the only one
okay but can we TALK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE SCORING PERFECT POINTS?!
This might be my favorite song ever.
I absolutely love the ragtimey sounds that some of your songs have, I don’t care that I’m two years late because this is amazing. Keep making what you’re making. (Also I like how the first minute of the song makes me feel like I’m listening through someone’s wall, it’s kind of funny)

Я так люблю эту песню... Я не могу её ни с чем ассоциировать, она просто прекрасная. 1:28 мой любимый момент, он звучит так круто.
ОКЕЙ, Я ВСЕХ ОБМАНУЛА! 2:52 ТОЧНО МОЙ ЛЮБИМЫЙ МОМЕНТ
Я в третий раз всех обманула, мой любимый момент это 00:00 - 4:10
this song is such a bop
this is so amazing like wtf why's 0:58 (and the other places that to this in the song) so satisfying
спасибо за то, что ты делаешь! Thank you.
in my AP art class we have to illustrate a song, and I’m doing this one 💓
what a fun little song
This is by far my favorite ENA song to play out of all that are on the dmbf mod website
this sounds familiar but different at the same time...
I love the vibe this gives
This track is an adventure.
Love it :D!
This song makes me feel safe. I appreciate it's existence. Thank
Love this song! :D
this feels so odd yet so familiar!
this music makes me feel emotions i never knew existed
damn that synth sounds epic
This is absolutely enchanting. Gosh, the instant I get enough money, I'm definitely going to commission something if you're not too busy.
woaaah these is so goooood
shits banging
sweet :D. nice music and a show

This song is how my some of my more chill dream feel like
10/10 song, this is definitely one of my favorite genders
Don't bother me, im just walkin
Fuck I can’t tell what time signature this is (or shifting in an out of) but it GROOVES
How I would love the piano sheet of this song to play it! ✨👌

Webcore? Idk
