@@The_Nightworker I mean, instead of AI you could have browsed some surrealist paintings from the 20s-50s that this is based on. Plenty of creepy ones. This one has some elements of Yves Tanguy, although he didn't put faces on his weird forms.
I am Japanese and may have strange English because I am using a translator. These songs are very elegant and old-fashioned in a good way, making me feel like I am sitting in an easy chair listening to a record. Thanks to RUclips for recommending this video to me, overcoming the language barrier.
My grandmother partied in the 40's, she passed in '91 and my dad kept some of her vintage dresses, as a small child I was obsessed with her dresses and heels from her party days. When I hear this kind of music I'd like to think it somehow connects her and I
Id like to think we're all dancing with our grandmothers as kids in the parlor as this plays. Our little feet on top of hers as she teaches us the steps to the dance. I love you grams, you are well missed on earth...always.
this came across my algorithm many months ago. My dog, Winston, sometimes gets anxiety. I randomly played this and it made him relax and sleep. I ended up playing it more often before bed and now Winston associates these songs as a sign that it's time to go to bed. He is currently asleep beside me. Goodnight Winston.
I don’t know why I like this art so much. Makes me think the ghosts are having a good time in that elevator. For some reason this is all very comforting instead of off putting
@@oncelerfan850 As much as I dislike AI, I do like how it was used here Old AI has always been an accidental expert at generating uncanny images and surreal images like this, which is perfect for the vibe since its supposed to be imitating the likes of a Surrealism Painting
everybody is talking about how this reminds them of the 30s or 40s, the time their grandparents were enjoying these tunes. Imagine what the kids would think is nostalgic in 2120s
It’s gonna be a wild ride for them. They’ll probably be like archaeologists for the internet that get paid to dig up stuff like this for the future generations
This is the kinda stuff we would play on the PA when I worked the night shift down at the morgue years ago. This and Bartok's string quartets, of course. Brings back memories.
This music, straight down to its echoing and reverb while playing at a soothing volume, reminds me of someone I listened to on the radio for many years until their confirmed disappearance from their radio show on my birthday many years ago. This was the type of music they’d play, along with various international and obscure record albums, sometimes mixing one with another at the same time. I gotten to visit the radio station during one of their performances the whole night, and wish I was able to talk to them again. I miss ya, Anthony Barbour
@@Whydoesthissitesuck I have a picture of the guy and have seen them in person during one of their radio shows. This is not the same guy as the one that was arrested in 2016, especially because I was listening to the radio show til 2019 on my bday when the show disappeared. Somehow coincidence they both had the same first and last name
Stumbling upon an elevator stuck in a time loop since the 1920s. You're in a abandoned building in New York and you hear an elevator opening and closing. With the rest of the building all dilapidated with no lights but this one elevator still showing off warm colored lights and is still in pristine pre-WW2 era condition.
This makes me remember... The time when I was little and I used to watch Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes and really old cartoons (like black and white) and they used music like this. I'll be honest the thumbnail really made me think it would be something generic and creepy but I am happy I decided to give it a try
I can imagine chilling in a 20’s hotel lobby listening to this while reading a book, people dressed nicely passing you by and the smell of cigarette smoke flooding the room since smoking in public places wasn’t bad at the time. It’s such a strange thought for me because I hate smoking but that’s besides the point. Love the vibe a ton! Very well done!
I love the natural unintentional eeriness music like this has. I don't think the people who made music like this meant for it to sound so chilling, which makes it doubly impressive. It does have the intended relaxing vibe, but it feels like a guise. This music feels like a guise for something darker. It's mesmerizing.
I think what is creepy about it is just that all of the people who made this and listened to it are just memories now. I remember when this gen was alive, telling war stories, talking about the Great Depression. Now they’re just dust in the wind, and all we have left are these ghostly memories
@@biopharmmarkets2115 Its like a glimpse of a bygone era. A glimpse of how our grandparents spent their leisure time. Its comforting and yet also kinda creepy
The nostalgic obscure songs with the static/fuzz, the almost warm, fried quality to it, the reverb and the comfortable volume. The ‘weird’ or more-so uncanny music with the weird cover. If you’ve listened to 30s music outside of it being on some creepy or weird track it might not even phase you. This was the music of the time and it’s somber but also calming and beautiful. It’s all about context. I’ve always found some of the music from then a bit somber but like in a saddened but hopeful kind of way. Depending on the lyrics it’s just a slow beat with happy lyrics that convey the meaning better like music now.
"Mr. Grady...you WERE the caretaker here. I recognize you. You chopped your wife and daughters up into little bits and uh...you blew your brains out."@@WinkLinkletter
I love this. The music seems oddly safe, like it’s almost providing a false sense of security to cover up something sinister. With each floor you go deeper underground, and the only thing you have to keep your growing anxieties in check is the music streaming in gently from the old speakers of the elevator.
Maybe it's because I listen to a lot of early to mid-century "easy listening" music, but I struggle to relate this wonderful little playlist to something sinister, instead I see it as very warm and very soothing. Thank you! You have a great ear.
At 5:52, "if I should lose you" caught me off guard! I'm so used to hearing the Hank Mobley version, but I really like the slower and more eerie version that's in this video. Awesome!
Guys, where are these melodies from? They are beautiful. Yesterday I lay on my bed for an hour listening to this and looking at the ceiling. Simply magical. You imagine that you are riding very slowly in an elevator to the highest floor while this music is coming from the walls. After a hard day, you sit on the floor of the elevator and wait. Editing: Author, you are wonderful. Only today I found out that these are your works. Simply lovely. Create more like this and spice it up with some scary images.❤
While technically their work, these are in no way original works by the maker of this video. They are songs from dance bands from (mostly) the 1930's, just slowed down and with a reverb effect applied to them. Doesn't take away the charm this album has, but it's best to not be misinformed!
Ever since i was a kid my parents would play songs from the 50's all the way to the 90's and i just loved the sound of them. In middle school i was on RUclips and came across heartaches by Al Bowlly and it felt so surreal ever since then ive been absolutely entrapped by the sound of the past and i see how this music may sound creepy or whatever to others but to me is sounds like a memory youve cherished all your life full of joy and love
This is weirdly calming. Its making me dream of better, brighter days with friendly well dressed people, children laughing, dogs playing, the smell of beautiful flowers. It only becomes creepy and sad when I think too much about how most people who lived those days are dead now and how those days are long long gone. May they rest well.
@@jesusmartinezcruz3543 genuinely curious on why you think EATEOT bad ? i haven't listened to the whole thing but a lot of people seemed to like it so i'm curious to hear an opposing opinion
@@conspiracyyui8642 I think I don't like the album because people seems to find too much complexity in something that's really simple. EATEOT is that kind of "art" that doesn't work by itself but by the statements that are behind it: in its case, the representation of Alzheimer and dementia progress in a mind. But, if you listen to the album without knowing its concept, what you find is a bunch of old songs with a lot of reverb and a lot of empty space towards the final part. Also, it is excessivly long. Five sections for a concept that gets old in the first twenty minutes?! What are you trying to do?!!! The other thing that I hate about it, is the influence that it had in other "artist", because, when EATEOT came out, a lot of people tried to do his own version. During that time, you would see people from different countries trying to replicate the same concept, but with music from their cultures. So, now you would not see only a bad album, but two or three or four or ten or fifthy... and all of them sucked. And when you entered in the comment section of one of this videos, there was a lot of people always saying to the creator that he was very talented just because he found a song from the 30s and put a reverb effect over it. So, that is the reason why I think that EATEOT is a bad project and why I hate it. Pd. I gave a chance to the album TWO times, but it never grew on me.
I was just about to say that I loved EATEOT but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, never been able to finish it though I’ve gotten pretty close but those last few stages are absolutely a sad and depressing hell 😭
@@conspiracyyui8642personally I had a bad experience a few days after listening to all 6 stages (it hadn’t set in yet). It wasn’t just a panic attack, but also existential dread for my own demise. Every time I hear a song from the album I literally dissociate for a few minutes before I snap back to the present.
If this is a haunted elevator, the ghosts here must be gentle old spirits who would put away your coat then offer you a cigar and something bubbly to drink in the lobby. Very comforting music, relaxing, and nostalgic in almost a sad way. Well done, thank you for this.
Hiiiii! Half a year ago I was studying hard for university. I have depression so that was a really rough time for me. This playlist is what I listen to every night before sleep and play in the background when I was studying during that period to cope with the stress and sorrow. Now I am studying my dream subject in the best university in my city. I am so grateful for these songs. I don't comment a lot but really want to express my gratitude. Don't know if you can see this **The Nightworker** but thank you so much and have a nice day (or night idk)!
Floor 9 had me in such a wonderful trance, It feels like a few days before christmas and I’m in a golden ballroom with patterns of stars and swirls and the most complex yet gorgeous chandelier I’ve ever seen, there’s white lilys and bluebells in every corner, and the most polished walnut wood bar in town with only the finest service, always filled with chaps and their bourbons and their ladies catching up with one another about their lives while they sit on golden velvet chairs. Lovers are on the dance floor, swaying under the milky twilight while the symphony fills every part of the room with it’s sweet and charming tunes, with the bass rumbling your soul, time seems to stop here, perhaps it waits for us behind the doors of floor 9..too bad you’re plummeting towards your death in this haunted elevator.
Listening to this album as a thunderstorm moves in lends an aesthetic like no other. Absolutely in love with how this sounds. Not creepy to me but very soothing.
If you like stuff like this, I strongly recommend Memories'Holder, it's still a small channel, that I basically found by accident, so it could be a bit hard to find it, but it's nice stuff, trust me
every track summarized Floor 1 - NATO submarine operators looking for the lost Apollo airways flight DF-0301 that disappeared 300 miles off the coast of Reykjavik, Iceland when they hear a mysterious radio broadcast playing 1940s jazz at the coordinates (63* 2'N, 29* 55'W) on a stormy night on December 17th, 1963 Floor 2 - Bittersweet. Auditory version of slow-dancing with your loved one. Floor 3 - Put this in the middle of EATEOT stage 1 or 2, nobody would tell the difference. Floor 4 - Ditto. Floor 5 - Really calming. Floor 6 - Makes me think that the ghosts haunting the elevator aren't evil ghosts, they were just lost souls who chilled in an elevator cause there was nothing better for them to do. Floor 7 - Same as Floor 2. Actually, you can put any track on this album in the middle of EATEOT stage 1 or 2, and it would sound right at home. Floor 8 - Sounds like the ghosts are telling stories of the loves they had in life. Floor 9 - Sounds like the end credits theme. Floor 10 - Now sounds like the ghosts are talking about their childhood. Floor 11 - By this point, everyone on the elevator is bored. The elevator is slow, you are waiting for your stop, and the ghosts are waiting for their ascent to the afterlife. Everyone just stands around idly and impatiently. Floor 12 - Really good second to final track. Floor 13 - Beautiful closer. You've finally reached your floor. ok you can get back to scrolling now.
Y'all know what, this is the kind of music that made some of us remember those old good days and remember about some good memories. This kind of song is like a 50/50, some of it made me feel unsettling and the rest of it is pure love and peace. I listening to this when I studying or when I just playing computer games as usual, my friends seem like they're not like this kind of songs, I understand that, because that what made we different from each other, yourselves is the thing that make you special so that's it. Love and peace for you guys, bye.
RUclips ALWAYS recommend me stuff like this whenever I feel I've had too much screen time. I like the music though very relaxing which I needed right now to distress. Blessing in disguise.
Seeing more and more people appreciate the music of a bygone era... American popular music that's not talked about nearly as much today... it brings a smile to my face.
@@Saint_Dismas Oh yes, I'm quite familiar with the British side of dance bands as well. Though Victor Silvester has an instantly distinctive style to his music, which at least the first track doesn't fit to. Maybe someone like Carroll Gibbons, Bert Ambrose or Lew Stone could fit the bill for this first track. My guess is on Carroll Gibbons, though I can't confirm.
for me The Nightworker's work hits that nostalgia in me, its like looking back at a time long gone, a hazy memory you wish to go back to, and not deal with the hardships of the present. I've only to do day discovered their work, and I've already fell in love with it, there is so much charm and pleasure that comes with listening to their work. I do hope they continue to make more because this project is such a unique treat to have.
I always felt like a weirdo for enjoying this type of music, since I was a kid they'd usually stare at me like: Why do you like that really old "boring" stuff?, they always thought I was some sort of reincarnation of someone born in those eras lol. Nonetheless, I appreciate that more people today share a liking for these songs, prolly due to their somehow "eerie" sound of bygone times and their common association with horror-related topics but still, it'll always conjure up an all-embracing feeling of "nostalgia" on me. Despite being born quite literally a century later...
this is so real. especially as a kid loved 20s and 30s jazz with all my family calling me an 'old soul'. makes me start to wonder about reincarnation now
@@Engelbird I think it's the same reason Gen Z gravitates to Vaporwave. They never got to experience that (80s/90s) era firsthand, so it's alluring to them. Similarly - I'm too young to have been alive when this music was popular, so it intrigues me.
OH my God, my heart. Everything is perfect... from the text, the songs, the title, the art. My soul is happy. Dankeschoen. I am so happy people put together such playlists.
When I was in high school I would buy CDs from Ross, the thrift, wherever- thinking that amassing a collection of random music would make me interesting and cool. A lot of the cds were compilations that included Glen Miller, Al Bowly, Billt Holiday. It didn't make me cool but it was great to find timeless music, all the same! Love the art, too❤
I rarely if ever comment on youtube videos but i ADORE how unnerving this art is. If it really is ai like people have been saying then it really is the first original and interesting ai-generated picture I’ve ever seen. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing!
strange music? Y'all, this is foxtrot, some of the greatest to come out of the interwar period before WW2. Mostly British and American dance bands, some German too.
aunque el titulo diga que es aterradora, la verdad se me hace bastante nostalgica, hoy por fin le he dicho a mi mejor amigo que yo tambien lo he amado desde hace 7 años pero hemos decidido no hacer nada al respecto pues nuestra salud mental nos impide estar juntos, escucho esta playlist en la madrugada mientras sigo estudiando para mis parciales y me da nostalgia y hay vacio dentro de mi al saber que nunca seremos, que nos amamos pero es mejor estar asi. aun asi espero el sea amado y feliz y mas aun importante pueda estar sano aunque eso implique el no estar conmigo. excelente playlist,volvere a ella siempre que lo recuerde
I thought this was going to devolve into EATEOT static, but thank god, it stayed its part all the way through. Definitely one of my favorite albums to listen to now! Can't wait to fall asleep to it!
I mean this in the most heartfelt way, this sounds like it belongs to amazing anolog horror, not the flashy jumpscarey or trying to be too edgy ones. The genuine ones with good story and makes you feel for the characters. I just found this not too long ago and it makes me feel like im stuck ina VHS recorded tape sitting on a lawn chair and everything is good.
it usually gives me anxiety every time i step into an elevator (i live in a 13th floor) so this music really helps me calm down that anxiety, thanks ✌❤
this is my absolute favorite right now thank u so much

This feels less like a haunted elevator and more like an elevator stuck in time decades ago
that's oddly scarier than it just being a simple haunting
Like a time capsule essentially
One that has been so isolated and untouched for decades that it’s just the same as it had been left off at
Isn't that what a haunting is? Something stuck in time so you feel echoes of the past reverberating in the present.

i haven't listened to the whole thing but a lot of people seemed to like it so i'm curious to hear an opposing opinion
@@conspiracyyui8642 I think I don't like the album because people seems to find too much complexity in something that's really simple. EATEOT is that kind of "art" that doesn't work by itself but by the statements that are behind it: in its case, the representation of Alzheimer and dementia progress in a mind.
But, if you listen to the album without knowing its concept, what you find is a bunch of old songs with a lot of reverb and a lot of empty space towards the final part.
Also, it is excessivly long. Five sections for a concept that gets old in the first twenty minutes?! What are you trying to do?!!!
The other thing that I hate about it, is the influence that it had in other "artist", because, when EATEOT came out, a lot of people tried to do his own version. During that time, you would see people from different countries trying to replicate the same concept, but with music from their cultures. So, now you would not see only a bad album, but two or three or four or ten or fifthy... and all of them sucked.
And when you entered in the comment section of one of this videos, there was a lot of people always saying to the creator that he was very talented just because he found a song from the 30s and put a reverb effect over it.
So, that is the reason why I think that EATEOT is a bad project and why I hate it.
Pd. I gave a chance to the album TWO times, but it never grew on me.
I was just about to say that I loved EATEOT but I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, never been able to finish it though I’ve gotten pretty close but those last few stages are absolutely a sad and depressing hell 😭
@@conspiracyyui8642personally I had a bad experience a few days after listening to all 6 stages (it hadn’t set in yet). It wasn’t just a panic attack, but also existential dread for my own demise. Every time I hear a song from the album I literally dissociate for a few minutes before I snap back to the present.
Hollywood Tower of Terror playlist
I really miss hearing that music in cali. 😔
If this is a haunted elevator, the ghosts here must be gentle old spirits who would put away your coat then offer you a cigar and something bubbly to drink in the lobby. Very comforting music, relaxing, and nostalgic in almost a sad way. Well done, thank you for this.
2:56 personal fav
This video should list the actual titles of the songs being played.
100%
I think those are the actual titles since they where uploaded separate and original albums are uploaded by the artist. I could be wrong.
Nah they have original titles, a lot of the samples on this album are from Freddy Martin
@@The_Nightworker I believe they meant the titles of the samples used
I hate when tracks aren't listed
This is actually kinda nice to listen to
Nostalgic with a touch of creepy...beautiful!
Floor 3 5:52 is my favorite so far. I started looping it. Has a mysterious vibe to it. Like a sci fi book with a cliffhanger ending
Hiiiii! Half a year ago I was studying hard for university. I have depression so that was a really rough time for me. This playlist is what I listen to every night before sleep and play in the background when I was studying during that period to cope with the stress and sorrow. Now I am studying my dream subject in the best university in my city. I am so grateful for these songs. I don't comment a lot but really want to express my gratitude. Don't know if you can see this **The Nightworker** but thank you so much and have a nice day (or night idk)!
It's like the background music in my mind. 24/7 for the past 40 years. The kind of music I start humming randomly when elated or bored. ❤
I myself am fascinated with this kind of music. its oddly liminal and abstract. its a feeling i cant describe, but almost like disassociating in a way
This benadryl hittin bruh
This music gives you that “But you’ve always been here” vibe.
This is a gem. How is nobody asking who is this Mateo Aguilar genius? Who is he? Where is he? Raise hands if you wanna know him. Applause and salutes!
Floor 9 had me in such a wonderful trance, It feels like a few days before christmas and I’m in a golden ballroom with patterns of stars and swirls and the most complex yet gorgeous chandelier I’ve ever seen, there’s white lilys and bluebells in every corner, and the most polished walnut wood bar in town with only the finest service, always filled with chaps and their bourbons and their ladies catching up with one another about their lives while they sit on golden velvet chairs. Lovers are on the dance floor, swaying under the milky twilight while the symphony fills every part of the room with it’s sweet and charming tunes, with the bass rumbling your soul, time seems to stop here, perhaps it waits for us behind the doors of floor 9..too bad you’re plummeting towards your death in this haunted elevator.
bluebells more like blue balls
@@sharglefart dawg💀💀
Fantastic comment, I get that feeling exactly 👍
@@billbene8280 thanks! :)
Listening to this album as a thunderstorm moves in lends an aesthetic like no other. Absolutely in love with how this sounds. Not creepy to me but very soothing.
If you like stuff like this, I strongly recommend Memories'Holder, it's still a small channel, that I basically found by accident, so it could be a bit hard to find it, but it's nice stuff, trust me
every track summarized
Floor 1 - NATO submarine operators looking for the lost Apollo airways flight DF-0301 that disappeared 300 miles off the coast of Reykjavik, Iceland when they hear a mysterious radio broadcast playing 1940s jazz at the coordinates (63* 2'N, 29* 55'W) on a stormy night on December 17th, 1963
Floor 2 - Bittersweet. Auditory version of slow-dancing with your loved one.
Floor 3 - Put this in the middle of EATEOT stage 1 or 2, nobody would tell the difference.
Floor 4 - Ditto.
Floor 5 - Really calming.
Floor 6 - Makes me think that the ghosts haunting the elevator aren't evil ghosts, they were just lost souls who chilled in an elevator cause there was nothing better for them to do.
Floor 7 - Same as Floor 2. Actually, you can put any track on this album in the middle of EATEOT stage 1 or 2, and it would sound right at home.
Floor 8 - Sounds like the ghosts are telling stories of the loves they had in life.
Floor 9 - Sounds like the end credits theme.
Floor 10 - Now sounds like the ghosts are talking about their childhood.
Floor 11 - By this point, everyone on the elevator is bored. The elevator is slow, you are waiting for your stop, and the ghosts are waiting for their ascent to the afterlife. Everyone just stands around idly and impatiently.
Floor 12 - Really good second to final track.
Floor 13 - Beautiful closer. You've finally reached your floor.
ok you can get back to scrolling now.
Y'all know what, this is the kind of music that made some of us remember those old good days and remember about some good memories. This kind of song is like a 50/50, some of it made me feel unsettling and the rest of it is pure love and peace. I listening to this when I studying or when I just playing computer games as usual, my friends seem like they're not like this kind of songs, I understand that, because that what made we different from each other, yourselves is the thing that make you special so that's it. Love and peace for you guys, bye.
Thanks for posting this; I've been struggling with writer's block lately, and this scratches some weird itch to help me focus
RUclips ALWAYS recommend me stuff like this whenever I feel I've had too much screen time. I like the music though very relaxing which I needed right now to distress. Blessing in disguise.
Seeing more and more people appreciate the music of a bygone era... American popular music that's not talked about nearly as much today... it brings a smile to my face.
It's not necessarily American; this reminds me of Victor Silvester, who was an English dancer, writer, musician and band leader.
@@Saint_Dismas Oh yes, I'm quite familiar with the British side of dance bands as well. Though Victor Silvester has an instantly distinctive style to his music, which at least the first track doesn't fit to. Maybe someone like Carroll Gibbons, Bert Ambrose or Lew Stone could fit the bill for this first track. My guess is on Carroll Gibbons, though I can't confirm.
Now that I've been listening to Eddy Duchin's stuff, it sounds like his style... but, then again, there could be a whole lotta sweet bands like his.
for me The Nightworker's work hits that nostalgia in me, its like looking back at a time long gone, a hazy memory you wish to go back to, and not deal with the hardships of the present. I've only to do day discovered their work, and I've already fell in love with it, there is so much charm and pleasure that comes with listening to their work. I do hope they continue to make more because this project is such a unique treat to have.
It might as well haunted, but to me it sounds like the ghosts are calm and pacific.
I just love this.
This music brings a smile to my face, yet I feel a melancholic void within
It’s funny cause I’ve listened to enough of those “songs from another room” comps that these are more peaceful than eerie to me 😂
Love those types of videos
In fact, is a good album concept
This is what I fall asleep to every night
the first track is genuinely so beautiful, i first got this recommended to me late at night and it made me want to cry when i heard it
i like this, its really peaceful and has a nostalgic feeling like being in an old art deco hotel
Yeah I’m getting bioshock vibes with this
I always felt like a weirdo for enjoying this type of music, since I was a kid they'd usually stare at me like: Why do you like that really old "boring" stuff?, they always thought I was some sort of reincarnation of someone born in those eras lol. Nonetheless, I appreciate that more people today share a liking for these songs, prolly due to their somehow "eerie" sound of bygone times and their common association with horror-related topics but still, it'll always conjure up an all-embracing feeling of "nostalgia" on me. Despite being born quite literally a century later...
I relate to this mindset way to much. Yeah i feel that.
this is so real. especially as a kid loved 20s and 30s jazz with all my family calling me an 'old soul'. makes me start to wonder about reincarnation now
Ur 14
I'm 55 and was the same way. I'd listen to punk, new wave, all manner of experimental shit, but also this.
@@Engelbird I think it's the same reason Gen Z gravitates to Vaporwave. They never got to experience that (80s/90s) era firsthand, so it's alluring to them. Similarly - I'm too young to have been alive when this music was popular, so it intrigues me.
I feel like I'm back in the old days when I come home from school, eat, rest and watch Tom and Jerry.
OH my God, my heart. Everything is perfect... from the text, the songs, the title, the art. My soul is happy. Dankeschoen. I am so happy people put together such playlists.
This is SO COOL ! The 4th floor make me think of an old ghost couple just slowly dancing together :)
優雅で美しい！ 画像も素晴らしい
I need a game based on this set of songs
I would buy it if it existed
try cuphead
I was thinking of a book or series! It would be perfect to this in a kind of Twilight Zone.
bioshock?
Just remarkable. There's some kind of oddly indescribable off-putting joy about this music that I can't get enough of lol. Thank you.
Bro this is gorgeous!
What a great collection with that wondrous "just outside the ballroom" ambience.
Finding strange music is the best
Currently dancing to this in a dark candlelit room while my cat sleeps on my bed 🖤
When I was in high school I would buy CDs from Ross, the thrift, wherever- thinking that amassing a collection of random music would make me interesting and cool. A lot of the cds were compilations that included Glen Miller, Al Bowly, Billt Holiday. It didn't make me cool but it was great to find timeless music, all the same! Love the art, too❤
I rarely if ever comment on youtube videos but i ADORE how unnerving this art is. If it really is ai like people have been saying then it really is the first original and interesting ai-generated picture I’ve ever seen. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing!
I was expecting something creepy for the artwork, but it's beautiful, what a lovely surprise. Happy halloween 2024!
strange music? Y'all, this is foxtrot, some of the greatest to come out of the interwar period before WW2. Mostly British and American dance bands, some German too.
youtube just cant stop surprising me with these gifts, more Caretaker-esque/slowed down ballroom music? hell *yes.*
Though the like count is low, I saw it increase before my own eyes. I then liked myself. This is great and I like it. Thank you nightworker
Theres something very haunting about it indeed, like its filled with all the memories of long forgotten people. I love it
this is tight, i got to floor 4 and i didn't want to get off so i stayed on to floor 13
worth it
thanks Nightworker xx
aunque el titulo diga que es aterradora, la verdad se me hace bastante nostalgica, hoy por fin le he dicho a mi mejor amigo que yo tambien lo he amado desde hace 7 años pero hemos decidido no hacer nada al respecto pues nuestra salud mental nos impide estar juntos, escucho esta playlist en la madrugada mientras sigo estudiando para mis parciales y me da nostalgia y hay vacio dentro de mi al saber que nunca seremos, que nos amamos pero es mejor estar asi. aun asi espero el sea amado y feliz y mas aun importante pueda estar sano aunque eso implique el no estar conmigo.
excelente playlist,volvere a ella siempre que lo recuerde
This makes me oddly emotional but also peaceful
I love how you labeled the songs floor 1 floor 2 etc, it's such a cute detail!!!
I just found the perfect music for my Bed and Breakfast elevator... Sublime! Those 4 floors will leave a memory.
The algorithm reeeeally wants me to watch this, so I guess I'll give it a shot
This songs are more relaxing and enjoyable than commercial music played on the Radio worldwide every day
Did you have a stroke while writing that?
@@SergioGarsiaSolano the only one annoyed here is you
@@The_Nightworker I had an orgasm, way better
That’s what I’m saying. Wondering who peed in his Cheerios.
@giovannitocco Looking back, I see how you may have thought the stroke one was for you. It was for Sergio. My sincerest apologies
recently discovered your tunes, keep sharing some bangers!
I thought this was going to devolve into EATEOT static, but thank god, it stayed its part all the way through. Definitely one of my favorite albums to listen to now! Can't wait to fall asleep to it!
I mean this in the most heartfelt way, this sounds like it belongs to amazing anolog horror, not the flashy jumpscarey or trying to be too edgy ones. The genuine ones with good story and makes you feel for the characters. I just found this not too long ago and it makes me feel like im stuck ina VHS recorded tape sitting on a lawn chair and everything is good.
it usually gives me anxiety every time i step into an elevator (i live in a 13th floor) so this music really helps me calm down that anxiety, thanks ✌❤
There's actually a band called 13th Floor Elevators, nothing to do with this music but you should check it out
