This is what I imagine dying to be like. All your life's memories playing before you until the film runs out and you breathe your last breath. This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen and I am truly touched
This film was in my history of experimental cinema university course, so I had to watch it to pass my exams. I didn’t like it much back then and thought it was another boring ass piece of modern art, but now, when I became an involuntary immigrant myself (just like Mekas was), it hits absolutely different. The feeling of nostalgia and sorrow in this film is so strong and genuine that it almost makes me want to cry. RIP Jonas Mekas, he was the true genius.
This song is so depressing and moving. It made me think of the last woman I dated that ended badly. The lost memories. The hope that things would blossom into something beautiful, but instead slowly faded away and died. Now nothing but an empty space of lost time and pain remains.
it was close to dying- a life you've never lived, coming and going in flashes of brilliant light. Places I've never been to, but oddly familiar and leaving me aching. i hope when i die i'd have left behind a life as beautiful as this
stoic and resolute in my simple computer chair.... i hang my heart and head sobbing, at the beauty ...of timeless simplicity. my sweet friend i can't call a name to... thank you, precious. you are adored for the dance you spurn my soul to
mercury just because it was considered Eastern at the time, doesn't mean that we should still refer to it as such. I respect that it was once considered to be Eastern however from a UN classification point of view it is Northern - which is a derived from a logical point of view, if the continent includes Russia - the countries Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus are much closer to being geographically to the North of Europe's centre than to the East... because if Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus are considered to be Eastern... then Russia must be Western Asia.
Yes please, I miss mine so much. I wish I could see her again.. too bad she’s gone.. so soon.. please give your grandma hugs and just appreciate the small moments with her because you never know when she will be gone. Try your best to only have good memories. Thank you
„Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.” - Paul Bowles …and now my heart bleeds with longing, sadness and loneliness… …but it's OK to be sad sometimes… Thank You for this gem, Cyborg. ♥
This summer i went to the Mediterranean coast. I went to a very small town where everyone was living in little houses and close to the port and a church, it was like lockdowns and the pandemic never happened there, it was like traveling to the past. I remember going on an old bike, running down the mountain to go to the beach. There was a way filled with orange trees and lavenders on the other side, as i was going down, i stooped, looked back and the mountain was far away with clouds on the top. That was maybe my most beautiful memory of my life so far. Sadly, my phone drowned on the beach and i loose all the pics i took there. But still, I will have them in my dreams and thoughts forever.
Very well described; I could very easily see your experience in my mind. The fact you lost your phone makes it all the more romantic. I am not a luddite, but there is no question these phones diminish the beauty of a good memory.
Cyborg, i love your channel so much You have made me feel what life is and fall in love with it so deeply that im six feet under and i cant come up again.Your music and movies have reignited the dreamer within. I still dont know what or who i am, but i dont want to know or seek for it anymore. Thank you Love,a.
There are brief glimpses of clear sky, like falling out of a tree, so I have some idea where I’m going, but there is still too much clarity and straight order of things, I am getting always the same number somehow.
The pain is stronger than ever. I’ve seen bit of lost paradises and I know I’ll be hopelessly trying to return even if it hurts. The deeper I swing into the regions of nothingness the further I’m thrown back into myself, each time more and more frightening depths below me, until my very being becomes dizzy. There are brief glimpses of clear sky, like falling out of a tree, so I have some idea where I’m going, but there is still too much clarity and straight order of things, I am getting always the same number somehow. So I vomit out broken bits of words and sintaxes of the countries I’ve passed through, broken limbs, slaughtered houses, geographies. My heart is poisoned, my brain left in shreds of horror and sadness. I’ve never let you down, world, but you did lousy things to me. This feeling of going nowhere, of being stuck, the feeling of Dante’s first strophe, as if afraid of the next step, next stage. As long as I don’t sum up myself, stay on the surface, I don’t have to move forwards, I don’t have to make painful and terrible decisions, choices, where to go and how. Because deeper there are terrible decisions to make, terrible steps to take. It’s at forty that we die, those who did not die at twenty. It is at forty that we betray ourselves, our bodies, our souls, by either staying on the surface or by going further but through the easiest decisions, retarding, throwing our souls back by thousands of incarnations. But I have come close to the end now, it’s the question will I make it or will I not. My life has become too painful and I keep asking myself, what am I doing to get out of where I am. What am I doing with my life.It took me long to realize that it’s love that distinguishes man from stones, trees, rain, and that we can lose our love and that love grows through loving, yes, I’ve been so completely lost, so truly lost. There were times I wanted to change the world, I wanted to take a gun and shoot my way through the Western Civilization. Now I want to leave others alone, they have their terrible fates to go. Now I want to shoot my own way through myself, into the thick night of myself. Thus I change my course, going inwards, thus I am jumping into my own darkness. There must be something, somehow, I feel, very soon, something that should give me some sign to move one or another direction. I must be very open and watchful now, completely open. I know it’s coming. I am walking like a somnambulist waiting for a secret signal, ready to go one or another way, listening into this huge white silence for the weakest signal or call. And I sit here alone and far from you and it’s night and I’m reflecting on everything all around me and I am thinking of you. I saw it in your eyes, in your love, you too are swinging towards the depths of your own being in longer and longer circles. I saw happiness and pain in your eyes and reflection of the Paradises lost and regained and lost again, that terrible loneliness and happiness, yes, and I reflect upon this and I think about you, like two lonely space pilots in outer cold space, as I sit here this late night alone and I think about all this.
And about you and for a brief moment i dont know for how long we meet. Somwhere between the words dream and space between the words perhaps and i am happy.As i look into the cold endless space passing by without sound without speed i mottled blue endless distance between us but i know you are there i can feel your heartbeat my love
i'm cyborg but that's ok Your magic has once again taken my breath away, I’m crying...your brilliance moves me✨❤️ I imagine the other lonely space pilot has been experiencing similar feelings, perhaps in disbelief that such a magic could exist, let alone have anything to do with them. I do so hope the two lonely space pilots find a way to be together...xo ✨👨🏻🚀💛👩🏻🚀✨
Dear I am cyborg but that's ok, i'd like to tell you that yes it is ok, everything will be ok your perception of moments is beyond what most of us can put into words. Your videos tell us stories about all these unknown personas, yet you deliver it in a way we actually know and relate to these personas. Time is so irrelevant in your portrayal of things, and no matter how these things can be so mundane, you somehow remind us that beauty and appreciation is always relevant.
Подумала, что это Россия, а оказалось - Литва из старого фильма. Сейчас у нас тоже можно найти такие деревушки, возможно, с такими же старухами. На момент снятия фильма они были молодыми, а сейчас - совсем сморщились и стали один в один как свои давно ушедшие предки. Как беспощадно быстро мы стареем...
I don’t know why but this video is somehow the most special for me from all your videos, maybe because I’m from Poland and it’s like an Eastern European vibe? Idk but it is so so beautiful and I would also like to watch this movie but I can’t find it anywhere :(
so long Jonas I have never been able, really, to figure out where my life begins and where it ends. I have never, never been able to figure it all out, what's all about. What it all means. So when I began, now, to put all these rolls of film together, to string them together, the first idea was to keep them chronologic. But then I gave up, and I just began splicing them together by chance, the way that I found them on the shelf, because I really did not know where any piece of my life really belongs. So let it be. Let it go. Just by pure chance. Disorder. There is some kind of order in it, order of its own, which I do not really understand, same as I never understood life around me. The real life, as they say, or the real people. I never understood them. I still do not understand them, and I do not really want to understand them.
When I had a body the world was so empty My eyes just lit up from the hundred suns and one bright moon When I had a body and the music was lonely A heart ached for someone I seeked forever When I had a body and the days were long I walked miles in the same home and dreamt of lost ones Woke up and opened the window Watched the kitten stretch and roll Those days I never felt my body and waited for my love to arrive I have a body today and I see through the glass veil Here and afterlife A heart that will never die again

I love you forever

He was a true legend
wait you're that same guy that uploads music videos i just realized that, impeccable taste in all art mediums I can see.

But not a guy, a girl
This is what I imagine dying to be like. All your life's memories playing before you until the film runs out and you breathe your last breath. This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen and I am truly touched
this touched me today, thanks for sharing it
exactly what i felt
Is that the full movie?
I was touched to the point of crying today. This brought every emotion out of me -
@@lyn3792 No, the full movie is nearly 5 hours long
every human being deserves to carry this kind of memories inside of them. i wish i had had a camera
it's in your phone
Why do you want a camera. Just live
i said i wish i Had had it with me in the past to record moments now precious to me, which i'm scared of forgetting
r.s. gobi just be happy it happened 🙂😕bless you
@@komiago2149 if they're precious. You won't forget
there is so much nostalgia in the way this song is played.
My favorite documentary of all time. Its impossible to not fall in love with it.
Hey, can you help me with where did you watch it? Please
@@shivani2080 hope its not too late! its available to rent on mubi for a few dollars
@@shivani2080Mubi and The Criterion Channel
@@bryceherman9231 i downloaded the app. I can't watch the movie, only the trailer

your university and lecturer is dope asf for recommending this movie lol
I love everything you upload, I hope your channel will last for many years

Felt
very beautiful, my eyes are filled with tears !!
in love with you profile picture and name !!
This video is so beautiful... there is something melancholic about it...
Wow. this is truly beautiful, it made me so nostalgic and reminds me of my old loved ones back at home in Serbia. Oh I have tears in my eyes :'))
it was close to dying- a life you've never lived, coming and going in flashes of brilliant light. Places I've never been to, but oddly familiar and leaving me aching.
i hope when i die i'd have left behind a life as beautiful as this
You Put my feeling in words ❤️
Every life is this beautiful. It’s the personal marvel that you experience and then leave behind in the soil, to grow for others. ❤️
The amount of inner peace this video brings me is indescribable
I'm crying. This is art.
stoic and resolute in my simple computer chair....
i hang my heart and head sobbing,
at the beauty
...of timeless simplicity.
my sweet friend i can't call a name to...
thank you,
precious.
you are adored for the dance you spurn my soul to
Best editing I've seen from you. A good mix with the movie and music.
Those Eastern European vibes 🖤
rawdeliver *Northern
mercury just because it was considered Eastern at the time, doesn't mean that we should still refer to it as such. I respect that it was once considered to be Eastern however from a UN classification point of view it is Northern - which is a derived from a logical point of view, if the continent includes Russia - the countries Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus are much closer to being geographically to the North of Europe's centre than to the East... because if Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus are considered to be Eastern... then Russia must be Western Asia.
Oh please, it's Eastern Europe. Belarus isn't even remotely close to being Northern Europe either.
Lithuania is locating at the geographical centre of Europe. There is also a central European theme park near capital Vilnius.
carlos eastern * it will always be eastern to both me and my grandparents, great grandparents.
Only UA-cam channel I watch right away when I get a notification. Thanks, keep doing what you do.
I missed my grandmother after watching this, think I'm gonna visit her this weekend...
Yes please, I miss mine so much. I wish I could see her again.. too bad she’s gone.. so soon.. please give your grandma hugs and just appreciate the small moments with her because you never know when she will be gone. Try your best to only have good memories. Thank you
I'm Lithuanian, and i have never seen this movie! Thank you for posting, this really touched me. It's beautiful. ❤
Gotta love Jonas mekas!!!
One of my all time favorites
hearing clair de lune always has this pull on my heart and brings tears to my eyes for inexplicable reasons, and watching this, i have a reason
„Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it?

…and now my heart bleeds with longing, sadness and loneliness…
…but it's OK to be sad sometimes…
Thank You for this gem, Cyborg.

This video is just perfect, the granny gives its life! How beautiful is she?! ❤️
I'm so happy i found this channel 😭😭😭 i love you whoever is managing this channel.
"I never let you down world, but you did lousy things to me"
I will never forget them my friends
The choice of track was immaculate thank you.

Šitie tai visur su savo Mordoru lenda, pasirodė jai mat... Jei ne jie, tai ir Mekui nereikėtų bėgti iš savo Tėvynės.
@RAINY Ką, tiesa nepatinka?
You are truly and wonderfully inspiring

NOO! I'm not crying
Max Miller are you sure? 😂

Appreciate everything from the most insignificant to the most significant. All of this is just one big experience of everything and nothing.

Beautiful. Very Tarkovsky.

Clair de lune aaaaa ❤
Obrigada!!

Always hypnotize by claire de lune
I don’t know why but this video is somehow the most special for me from all your videos, maybe because I’m from Poland and it’s like an Eastern European vibe? Idk but it is so so beautiful and I would also like to watch this movie but I can’t find it anywhere :(
Were you able to find it in the 3 yrs? I'd love to watch this movie too..
Its on criterion collection
very captivating
so long Jonas

Óbvio q esse canal tinha q ser fã desse querido. Tbm o amo.
Increible el sentimiento de profunda nostalgia que provoca este archivo es magnifico.
I am always amazed by your taste in movies 💝
a beautiful experience
Bateu uma saudade do meu pai, senti até a energia dele ouvindo essa música e vendo clipe. Ele tá tão longe... Mas senti! 💛
Beautiful❤
Simplesmente poético.
Lithuanian names on the wall, oh my heart!
it is so beautiful
Become so beautiful this video with this music!
TWIM IS DETHRONED
Thank you for this beutiful video
whenever i hear clair de lune, i cri
rest in peace...........jonas mekas......I thought he’d never die. And he never will.
When I had a body the world was so empty
My eyes just lit up from the hundred suns and one bright moon
When I had a body and the music was lonely
A heart ached for someone I seeked forever
When I had a body and the days were long
I walked miles in the same home and dreamt of lost ones
Woke up and opened the window
Watched the kitten stretch and roll
Those days I never felt my body and waited for my love to arrive
I have a body today and I see through the glass veil
Here and afterlife
A heart that will never die again
This is so intensely beautiful
Very cool
beautiful taste ♥
Cyborg you are amazing 🌙
