I've listened to this occasionally every now and then for the last decade. I remember as a teen being on my laptop in the wee hours of the morning, talking to an internet friend about all kinds of deep/personal stuff while this played in the background. My most distinct memory was a cold February night, and I was tucked up in bed with my window open ever so slightly, with light snowfall outside as this song played. It's a perfect happy place for me to visualise whenever things aren't going so well.
Sometimes slowing things down 800% is like peering into a single droplet of pond water. What you find is teeming with otherwise unseen life of microorganisms from the microcosm. This is how I feel about this resulted ambient track. An auditory fractal of endless harmony.
I started writing a story a few months back, and I just re-opened it after not working on it for a while. As I looked through the chapter, I noticed that I had stopped, and that I needed to finish the chapter... I felt sad... I couldn't think of what else to write, but I had worked so hard in the past. I couldn't just let the story fade away and end! I had listened to this song, however, as well as some other ambient tracks. Now I am almost done writing the chapter, and I feel so heart-warmed and touched from how beautiful this song is. It truly fills me with awe and inspiration!
I feel like I am walking through a beautiful forest at night, everything is shimmering on the forest floor from fallen leaves to bushes. The moon lights up the sky with many stars in the night sky. Damn this edit makes me so euphoric and melancholy on the same time..
If I ever get the chance to do so, I will! Also, I strongly reccomend you listen to this while watching this following video /watch?v=a7s8vnuknPY. Mute it and Play it a 1/2 speed in the dark and prepare to be physicaly, spiritualy and mentaly incapacitated by the raw beauty of our world :)
Artur Shashlov Or in space , watching the sun rising from space covering our earth with light , seeing that birght blue on the sphere with sunshine and black around it , seeing all that while you listen this song with you're 2 budyes in an spacecraft , seeing all that through an window from that spacecraft and the song beyng played on the backround from any music recording and playng device !
this feels like place in between the seconds of our lives...the moment you caught each others eyes and time felt as though it stood still for a moment. you could call that moment back anytime, and live in it for eternity.
That's why. Because I put a song into a shitty program and then uploaded it... and then 95% of comments are about 'thank you', 'it helped a lot' or 'ça rend vachement bien'. I didn't expect that and I am happy, just thankful for the feedback. Don't see it so selfish, I have no merit, Thomas Newman has, because is one of the best. And if the exact meaning of the word is the problem, I don't even speak english (I'm from Spain - Europe). Try to relativize, my intentions are humble and peaceful :)
Listening to this piece of music is a great practice for patience and mindfulness. When was the last time you reminded yourself to stop rushing? When was the last time you paid attention to those hand movements of yours, the steps you take, and your breathing? We are hurrying through life to get from point A to B, to C, all the way until we finally reach Z - and then it will feel as if it all went by way too fast. If anything, it's because we don't notice all the little things; when this is what our lives are made up of. The moment we teach our brains to register every second as the most valuable moment we have, we truly learn to make the best of it.
8 years later, but so happy I found this version of one of my favorite songs. It's surreal, inspiring, mesmerizing. To be played under a moonless, star lit sky.
No illusion, my freind there is a great reality out there that is hidden from you, if you felt/saw it you would see that this entire world with all its beauty and pleasures is nothing in comparison to what is ahead. This reality we see is the equivalent to a earth worm in the dark wet mud underground compared to an eagle soaring through the pure air in the mountains of Switzerland. The difference between the 2 realities is more greater than that X by 10,000. If you was there and you saw a rose of that realm, you would be immersed and lost in its sheer beauty for 300 years of earth time just mesmerized. What ever you focus on over there yoi feel taste become part of it. Not just see it.
I wouldn't mind being that man by the tree. Beautifull environment and probably lots of peace, just staring around for a day seeing the clouds move by.
While I was watching, I caught myself looking at the flowers, dumbfounded. They started to shift slowly, back and forth in perfect time with the music. Eerie, yet I couldn't pull myself away..
To me the sad thing about feeling loneliness is that I feel that I have so much love to give and take, which is a warm and desperate feeling, and all that love is something to be shared with somebody, because happiness was meant to be shared together. And that feeling is precisely what this music and picture advocates on me. Well sadly done.
Used to play this and ONLY this when I'd be in my college library for 4 hrs writing 8 page papers.. helped alot and made me not as anxious when I was finished..LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Thanks a lot for this present!! En si, queda descubierta la esencia de esta canción, pudiendo experimentar cada una de sus vibraciones impresionantes... Tan sólo hay que sentirlo.... Gracias
I played this when I was going to bed the other night.. I think it was on the 8-9min mark when I fell into sleep.. Well, somewhere in the middle of the song.. And the sleep, the dreams were one of the best ever.. They were happy, flowing, smooth dreams of happiness. I smiled right before I drifted to sleep, it was beautiful. I was at peace for that small moment and during the sleep.. Thank you.
... And then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through my like rain ... Thank you very much for this track. You made my day.
This is beautiful.... I listen to the original quite a lot and to hear it slowed down like this really changes the experience. To hear every single nuance and note treated in such a way.... it completely changes your perspective. The timbre of the instruments are transformed from the standard percussive sounds to a haunting organ like tone colour. What you have done has just transformed this piece for me, not necessarily made it better, but different. Thank you sir. Thank you very much.
I had a really tough time last summer. I remember walking alone for 2 and half hours everyday to make myself forget and I was listening to that song.. it kinda helped =] thanks for making it 800% slower, it was a masterpiece anyway and now it's all that was missing
Tonight I spent my night by a waterfall, glistening in the moon light by the full moon.. sitting by myself with my toes in the water listening to this while smoking a blunt.. I have never felt so at peace, at ease... If I could live my nights like this, I would be forever satisfied.
Indeed. Although I would also say people are part of that surrounding beauty. But that does not mean one cannot still be lonely. Loneliness can strike in the most crowded of rooms. Which sort of brings me back to the picture really.
That, my friend, is perhaps the best reply you could have possibly give. Most people would've just became really defensive, but you just explained yourself perfectly getting defensive about it. That's amazing by today's standards. :)
this song reminds me of my daughter.. it played on my birthday 8 years ago while i was holding her blowing the candles... a year after, was the last time i saw her.. or talked to her.. what a cruel world depicted in this beautiful song..
For me, this picture was transformed when I spotted what looks like a solitary man to the right hand side of the tree. It turned the picture from an ideal image of calm and peace to an image of loneliness. A loneliness emphasised so by the beauty that surrounds it. But hey it's just an individual interpretation. This song is awesome by the way.
This makes me think about my existence, 13 billion years ago our universe was being made by a sudden explosion with un imaginable power creating the universe. Who was there who can see that? Nobody, this universe doesn't need us it doesn't need an spectator like us, it just exist for no reason. It doesn't need life to observe it. Imagine if the universe didn't had life, the universe would be nothing because nobody would be there to say what it is. What if we were all an accident? We are not suppose to exist, life can't exist but for some reason it did. The universe was suppose to be a giant place were nobody is suppose to see. It just existed for no reason and it will be there....... Forever
That's a nice interpretation. I suppose in that case the beautiful scenery fits the uplifting emotional reunion, but at the same time the vastness of the landscape emphasizes the separation and the drawn out heartache as you say.
Oh for sure it could be that as well. Like I said it's just one of many potential interpretations. However, I do like how despite the obviously beautiful scenery around the man, how he is actually feeling is still uncertain. Just goes to show that how one truly feels is often not a matter concerned with the world that surrounds him.
thank you for making a mistake, it filled me with wonder....I thot, what things do we not hear in the universe b/c we go too fast....I too love the original, newman is a genius, but this has it's place
I almost see a man and a small women or child embracing each other. They embrace in a way that clues that they have been separated by a situation not in their hands, and are now reunited for the first time in what seems like an eternity in their minds. As they grasp each other with the wind gently flowing around them awakening a sea of wild flowers time seems to slow as their hearts rediscover themselves from the drawn out heartache that has pained them for so long.
I've listened to this occasionally every now and then for the last decade.

Nicely put
May the Lord of the Universe help us to find peace in our hearts , Amen .
🥺🥺🥺 This is like listening to heaven itself and it’s absolutely beautiful!
After all those years, this one is still so incredibly amazing... Thank you so much for this. It is epic and it is a treasure.

+Jessica Schultz || Can we experience your story? What is your blog?
Eliezer Martinez It's not something I have released yet, I have yet to work on a LOT of it.. thank you for your interest though.. ^^
Greetings from the Future 2022 😌🙏🤗🤗🤲🤲😌😌
Play this with the original song overlapping... they mesh perfectly and add a whole new dimension to the beauty.
That is quite something i'll admit. Beautiful X_X
That was amazing, the moment the first piano note hits ... spine = shivers
That's a great idea. I started the slower version first and after 21 seconds I started the original version. Sounded awesome!
thanks for the tip. beauty and strange at the sametime
@@Foolski thanks, you are a good man
Loneliness surrounded by beauty.
Surely that is the meaning of life. It how we choose to embrace that beauty that truly matters.
Each note is like one heavy breath in my soul. Pain. Fear. Love. Lust. Happiness. Its all gone. Im entering the unknown.
I feel like I am walking through a beautiful forest at night, everything is shimmering on the forest floor from fallen leaves to bushes. The moon lights up the sky with many stars in the night sky. Damn this edit makes me so euphoric and melancholy on the same time..
ElectroIsMyReligion very nice visual
This would be great to listen to at the top of Mount Everest.
Don't know what brought your thought there; but I am so glad it did.
Or voyaging through the dark depths of our universe
If I ever get the chance to do so, I will!
Also, I strongly reccomend you listen to this while watching this following video
/watch?v=a7s8vnuknPY.

Artur Shashlov youre hot :0
I had no idea there was so much complexity in this music, which I've loved for decades.
this feels like place in between the seconds of our lives...the moment you caught each others eyes and time felt as though it stood still for a moment. you could call that moment back anytime, and live in it for eternity.

Thomas Newman is amazing! His music will be an inspiration in my own music making in the future, I'm sure of that.
8 years later, but so happy I found this version of one of my favorite songs. It's surreal, inspiring, mesmerizing. To be played under a moonless, star lit sky.
This calms me incomprehensibly
Just amazing, something beyond this life and illusion is in those frequencies
Maciej Podkański yes.
No illusion, my freind there is a great reality out there that is hidden from you, if you felt/saw it you would see that this entire world with all its beauty and pleasures is nothing in comparison to what is ahead.

Hauntingly beautiful, meditation material indeed :) Thanks
I wouldn't mind being that man by the tree. Beautifull environment and probably lots of peace, just staring around for a day seeing the clouds move by.
Beautiful….the most beautiful sound and sensation.
from 2012 to 2021 still listen this one ty
While I was watching, I caught myself looking at the flowers, dumbfounded. They started to shift slowly, back and forth in perfect time with the music. Eerie, yet I couldn't pull myself away..
my god, had a moment while listening to this. Simply amazing.
To me the sad thing about feeling loneliness is that I feel that I have so much love to give and take, which is a warm and desperate feeling, and all that love is something to be shared with somebody, because happiness was meant to be shared together. And that feeling is precisely what this music and picture advocates on me. Well sadly done.
How many books I have read with this music in the background... I love it ❤
Dear Adrian, thank you and best wishes for 2014 and beyond !
Used to play this and ONLY this when I'd be in my college library for 4 hrs writing 8 page papers.. helped alot and made me not as anxious when I was finished..LOVE THIS SONG!!!
Thanks a lot for this present!! En si, queda descubierta la esencia de esta canción, pudiendo experimentar cada una de sus vibraciones impresionantes... Tan sólo hay que sentirlo.... Gracias
Nerea Calero Miró ¡Gracias a ti!
Nerea Calero Miró que bella Nerea C. M!!!
This songs really helps me get my homework done. Lol :)
I played this when I was going to bed the other night.. I think it was on the 8-9min mark when I fell into sleep.. Well, somewhere in the middle of the song.. And the sleep, the dreams were one of the best ever.. They were happy, flowing, smooth dreams of happiness. I smiled right before I drifted to sleep, it was beautiful.

Thank you.
I still come back to this. Often. So amazing.
... And then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold on to it.
And then it flows through my like rain ...
Thank you very much for this track. You made my day.
this is just beautiful.
Beautiful! It just goes beyond reality
Absolutely Amazing
Really amazing, I wasn't supposed it sound so great
If you play this underneath Thomas Newman's track, "Oleander Time", it adds this eerie ambiance that I can only describe as breathtaking.
The noise sound that comes off from the "bad quality" of the audio compression surprisingly adds to the awesomeness of what this is
Thomas Newnan,should be proud for this version..
This is beautiful.... I listen to the original quite a lot and to hear it slowed down like this really changes the experience. To hear every single nuance and note treated in such a way.... it completely changes your perspective. The timbre of the instruments are transformed from the standard percussive sounds to a haunting organ like tone colour. What you have done has just transformed this piece for me, not necessarily made it better, but different. Thank you sir. Thank you very much.
I had a really tough time last summer. I remember walking alone for 2 and half hours everyday to make myself forget and I was listening to that song.. it kinda helped =] thanks for making it 800% slower, it was a masterpiece anyway and now it's all that was missing
I love hearing each note begin and end and the detail of it all! Awesome
I liked this. Was curious to hear what the piano would have sounded like at this speed. Haunting!
This is absolutely incredible
Can you make more?
Thomas should be proud for that version.
Beautiful, no words
Oh yeah. For the fans. Just let it play (loud) and relax. Greetings from Greece !
very relaxing music, incredible! from Italy
WOW from something words cant explain to something not even actions can
ethereal
Tonight I spent my night by a waterfall, glistening in the moon light by the full moon.. sitting by myself with my toes in the water listening to this while smoking a blunt.. I have never felt so at peace, at ease... If I could live my nights like this, I would be forever satisfied.
hayskiDUB And how is life today?
Indeed. Although I would also say people are part of that surrounding beauty. But that does not mean one cannot still be lonely. Loneliness can strike in the most crowded of rooms. Which sort of brings me back to the picture really.
Thanks for the upload! Even if it's not yours I'm glad you shared!
wow i love this! it's like music from space :)
Lonely can be a good thing, sometimes when you are with people they make you feel lonely, it is better to be alone than be alone with company.
will it amaze you that I'm still listening to this? :O
Thanks for sharing, Adrian.
I wonder, has Thomas Newman himself heard this version? I'm sure he would appreciate a different 'approach' to his song.
My favorite video to listen to when I need some meditation
This is really something... True beauty.
stunning
Absolutely stunning. I just crossed into the Umbra.
This is so tranquil... thank you for uploading!
That, my friend, is perhaps the best reply you could have possibly give. Most people would've just became really defensive, but you just explained yourself perfectly getting defensive about it. That's amazing by today's standards. :)
the program to do this is call Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch. its free and open source i believe
Looove it this tracks free my mind every time THank you very much for posting this !
Gorgeous!
what a corner goal! well done
this song reminds me of my daughter.. it played on my birthday 8 years ago while i was holding her blowing the candles... a year after, was the last time i saw her.. or talked to her.. what a cruel world depicted in this beautiful song..
really amazing man.....
So Stunning
Thanks, B.
ça rend vachement bien finalement ! excellent!
For me, this picture was transformed when I spotted what looks like a solitary man to the right hand side of the tree. It turned the picture from an ideal image of calm and peace to an image of loneliness. A loneliness emphasised so by the beauty that surrounds it. But hey it's just an individual interpretation. This song is awesome by the way.
I just looked it up. It does sound like my kind of thing. I will definitely read it if I get the chance. Thank you.
I HAVE to share this version on facebook although, no one like's this music on my friend's list... I just have to. It's great!!! \o/
Absolutely Amazing Adrian!!! Awesome as!! :D
This makes me think about my existence, 13 billion years ago our universe was being made by a sudden explosion with un imaginable power creating the universe. Who was there who can see that?

+Pancake Master How's 8th grade?
Yeah thermodynamics pretty much say it won't be here forever. Everything in the universe has an expiration date even the universe itself.
how's high school treating u?
Haha yo I was thinking the same thing.
You think in a very interesting way.. Are you a genius?
That's a nice interpretation. I suppose in that case the beautiful scenery fits the uplifting emotional reunion, but at the same time the vastness of the landscape emphasizes the separation and the drawn out heartache as you say.
Sometimes we are that lonely man, as you said, surrounded by beauty (and more lonely men).
Very, very good.
It's very romantic and chilling. Congratulations for the edit ;D
Pace universale, bellezza del creato e comunione con l’anima
Oh for sure it could be that as well. Like I said it's just one of many potential interpretations. However, I do like how despite the obviously beautiful scenery around the man, how he is actually feeling is still uncertain. Just goes to show that how one truly feels is often not a matter concerned with the world that surrounds him.
thank you for making a mistake, it filled me with wonder....I thot, what things do we not hear in the universe b/c we go too fast....I too love the original, newman is a genius, but this has it's place
amazing! sleeping to this, is beautiful
Brilliant !!
Beautiful description my friend.
Thank you... (:
sounds like dying. feels like dying...but in a positive way, like at the end of the movie:)
I am in the library doing the same exact thing. :)
This plus rainymoon = transcendence
Listening to this, I just saw the trees and the flowers moving...
well,you've improved this song :)
exactement magnifique!

MAGNIFISENT, SUPERB, AMAZING… THIS IS WHAT I USE TO SLEEP AND FINALLY I FOUND THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! DO YOU DO THIS TO ANY OTHER TRACKS ?
