Lyrics:
Bring back hedgerows,
Lost in echoes,
Found in shadows,
Gone like sparrows.
Where do roots go?
What do birds know?
Why the elbow?
Who goes there?
How now?
Yes no maybe.
It’s all gravy.
More haste less speed,
Like an oak tree.
Sweet pea tendrils,
Creeping scent filled,
Wafting slowly,
Over you and I.
Cosmo Sheldrake: vocals, bass clarinet,
keyboards, percussion, harp.
Yusuf Narcin: trombone.
Ewan Bleach: clarinet.
James Davidson: trumpet.
Laura Impallomeni: trombone.
Scott Jowett: percussion.

I love this song👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
@cosmosheldrake just wanted to say that I only just discovered your music yesterday and it is AMAZING! I've listened to your songs all last night and all today too and I don't see my addiction to your music stopping anytime soon. Thank you so much for sharing these incredible songs with us and please keep up the awesome work! Hope you have a great day :D
This is a song i feel like would go well in a drinking or party scene with just tons of chaos and frame cuts
What does the title of this song refer to? Not being a native speaker of English, none of the dictionary definitions seems to fit! Maybe this music festival in Ohio Hocking hills?
@@AnonymousAnonymous-qs7vh Same lol
God bless the dude whistling. They gave their life and lungs so that we might bop...
Lol thats elmo
should this be my next single?
Cosmo Sheldrake heck yeah
non’t
Yup!
Sí señor, yep!
Cosmo Sheldrake that would be neat!
I love the way the end feels like controlled chaos. Something about it's really nice
nobody:
the entire brass section warming up before the concert: 3:01
oh and also percussion sometimes
As a band kid, I feel this on a personal level. 😂 I don’t play brass but still
Mya Papaya haha yes
man this was me and the trumpets every day
As a trumpet player who’s friends with a euphonium player, I can confirm
My mind constantly sound like this
Hocking has always felt like an animated parade. Something you'd see in an old disney film like Pink Elephants, but more grounded! The brass, the whistling, the much of everything and of course the fantastic build up! What a sound!
I love how at the end everything just turns into chaos. That chaos, however, is still organized, then for the last few notes everyone comes together. It’s just awesome and a fantastic song in general.
Cosmo’s work is unbelievable. Keep it up and don’t stop doing what you love!
Organized chaos is officially my favorite music genre
Yeah, it’s like a surge of energy just waiting to be released after a immense buildup
My eyes while listening with headphones:
⬅️➡️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️➡️⬅️⬅️➡️➡️⬅️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️➡️⬅️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️➡️⬅️⬅️➡️➡️➡️
i dont get it-
That One Kiddo- I thing it’s because the sound goes from one side to the other
I can’t stop doing this now
Litterally I do this too and have no idea why but yeah
My brother thinks this sounds messy near the end but I just love the organised chaos - you can really hear the talent of all the musicians in keeping it together despite so much going on at once (ensemble playing is hard, man)
...but it really is exhausting; maybe there schould be a version for people with strained ears; without the end - because from the beginning to the middle: first class!
As someone who searches far and wide for complex sounds in music, Cosmo Sheldrake is a great find. The more the better. It's definitely on beat through the end, and I love this.
@@flustertext3939 the end is the best part...
Messy? It’s all in perfect time tho lol. Chaotic? Yes. Messy? No.
Messy?
You should make a song with Morse code in it as the beat. knowing you, you could find a way to make it sound amazing
I WANT THAT WAH
oh, I can hear it now...
umm yes umm yes
What if they already did 🤔
and the beat was literally "THIS IS THE BEAT OF THE SONG" in morse lmao
this song makes me nostalgic for band class.. sometimes the brass section really keeps shit together, sometimes more than the percussion section 😂
Oh my GOD that’s EXACTLY I THOUGHT TOO! I kinda just pictured my schools band playing this and I fr kinda got chills
Na we were always the fuckers in the back bein loud as shit but always wrong
I’m the kid on the snare drum in the back lol
I feel like this is the beginning of a battle, the standoff, and the goodbyes to friends and family. Then the solemn march to the battle grounds and everyone remembers the sacrifices made so far that let them be here today, to win the war.
Then in the middle, people remember the journey made, not just the sadness, but what they gained, what they learned, and the march becomes a jog, then a run, then sprinting, charging to their final destination. They look in the face of a fiery sun, making way for a cold, silver moon.
"This is the end of our journey," they say. "And the beginning of our battle."
Very interesting viewpoint
I personally think it somehow relates to the chaos but paradoxically orderly nature of society
this comment feels like english class
i like how it sounds
@@cyog2971 Based music enjoyer.
Ay yi yi! This is just about the most 'fantasmagorical' debut album I've ever heard in my 74 years of life (though I remember little of the first 5 years of my music listening). 'The Much Much How How and I' gives me much pleasure. You are a true artist, Cosmo: A great truly gifted musician, composer, arranger and lyricist. I love you - your vision, your mind, your creativity! Thanks for letting them use 'Come Along' in that TV ad. I have no idea who the ad was for (a car?), only that it made me immediately Google 'Come Come Come Along'.and I haven't been the same since!
Almost your age Lorenzo7211944 and feeling something the same. The feeling, not the music is the kind of swooning I had for the Beatles. Dance on!
I may only be 16, but I have NEVER felt this passionately about music. Cosmo Sheldrake is a fucking genius and there is no other way to put it. It's the most beautiful harmonious chaos I've heard. I've been listening to his stuff for about a year and a half now and I couldn't be more happy
You still listening? How's 18 treating you?
I'll tell you now, passion for music has no definite age. You just love music, and you'll love it till the day you die 😊
First time I heard this was when I was listening to this album all the way through for the first time, on my way to a valley in north Wales, last week in fact. Hearing this while surrounded by mountains and trees awoke a restlessness within me, a deep burning in my chest. I wanted to run and jump in the wilderness, free from boredom and responsibilities. I haven’t felt the same since.
Now I’m back in London, sitting on my sofa working, dog curled up on my feet, and realising how boring the normal is.
Thank you Cosmo for your wonderful music!!!
thank you for the lovely comment!
Cosmo Sheldrake No problem! Thank you for the lovely music! X3
Gosh, if this isn't the biggest mood. Cosmo manages to capture this mood perfectly in almost every song.
I went to alaska and did the same thing, listen to all of his songs while seeing eagles fly by it was amazing. Like you said it makes you want to run
This!!!
I played this for my mom and she described what it sounds like exactly, like two marching bands colliding, and then finding the rhythm at the end and playing in sync with each other. I feel like this song when everything is chaos, is what people who hate jazz thinks jazz sounds like. An all time favorite cosmo song for me
The story I imagine is an evil queen hosts a ball under the stump of a tree where many bugs come and dance. The hero of the story is trying to get to the queen but the people keep dancing in the way. The hero frantically tries to get but but the people dance more and more erratically and eventually someone even grabs the hero and forces them to dance. The hero is banged into the wall causing a chandelier made from an acorn to crash and kill the queen all the decorations, lights, and bugs turn to dust leaving the hero in a dark hollowed stump
“It’s all gravy” I can agree with this on every level
at the end its like having a giant brass band in my ears! Great for tuning out parents! 10/10 would recommend! (but seriously i love this song)
Awesome 360 degree music
I am waiting for the world to realize how amazing this artist is
Same
same
same
Me and the boys still waiting. His soundtrack was used in a ps4 / ps5 game so we are close I guess
@@saulgoodmanKAZAKH which games
My little brother (23 months old) litteraly cried when this album was over, so I put it in repeat and he loves it so much. He can't even talk yet, that's magical!
When that Band came in, I literally got chills. That is one of the best transitions to a chaotic Mardi Gras Band I’ve ever heard.
We all know the video for 'Come Along', right?
Well, a person by the name of Noel2222 left a comment saying: "Just realized the song's intensity relates to the fish's size."
If that were the case for *THIS* video...

Hocking is by-far my favorite Cosmo song. Ik its extremely underrated, but the usage of instruments and the composition is mind-blowing to me!!
me: ah, what a lovely song
4:14
me: ah, what a beautiful mess
INSANITY CONTINUES
Whoever was playing that trumpet was having a fucking blast, you can tell.
Gosh cosmo you are so talented! The end of this song gives me vivid flashbacks to a New Orleans wedding I was the flower girl for when I was 9. I can still smell the magnolias. Absolutely incredible. I can’t wait for the day where I get to brag about having been a fan of yours from the early years. I can see you touring with alt j or Andrew Bird or any of those artists who occupy that liminal sweet spot between genres. Come to the US soon, you fantastic nature deity!
god, alt-j and cosmo sheldrake would make fucking GODLY sound
@@butlerkitty IM NOT THE ONLY ONE HELL YEAH
Alt-J, Hozier, and Cosmo. We need to see it.
This makes me want to go on an adventure!
Update: I went on the adventure and everything is great now
molty copper congratulations :D
Honestly this album deserves so much love! Every piece is something special and yet they all feel so nice together. Every song in the album made me want to find out more about other songs. I can't put to words how much I admire all of them and your work overall. In this song I love the chaos and nonsense in the end and yet it sounds amazing! I love your work a lot and I hope you keep making music!
I put this song to listen while doing homework. The fact it sounded like funeral music in my country really caught me off guard. Like it was my own funeral.
that's a lit funeral
This song gives me the image of a sailor who travels the world, exploring different corals reefs, beaches, coves and sea caves
I don't know about you guys, but at the end, it kind of feels like you're flying on the music. It's like you're swirling upwards, ever higher. And I love this, because it's not a floaty song. Its pretty down to earth to be honest. It just,,, at the end it feels so powerful, so strong, and I frickin' love it!
3:34 this reminds me of my 4th grade music class practicing the recorder. Nostalgia at its finest.
This sing lives in my head rent free and I don't mind.
this song (album tbh) is such a perfect send off to an adventure ❤🐢
I think my budgies like your music. They're singing along
That is so cute!
I really love the line "more haste less speed like an oak tree" it really expresses the meaning of the song
an old and mysterious druid wrote this
I gave this as a themesong to my Druid OC...
This sounds like a street festival! I love it.
I bought your album and I got it yesterday. I've listened to it and all I can say is that it's so unique and amazing! You have this sound that no one else can really capture. It just makes me want to dance (even though I don't know how). I can't wait for you to make even more wonderful music!!!
the bees knees
This song sound quite dapper
The town by the woods was nearly empty. Decades ago, most of the residents left. The woods nearby was blamed, for many beasts were born of it's thick thorns. One day however, the woods burst into noise, a clearing seemingly appears from a dense thicket. From it, a quiet marching. It doesn't stay quiet for too long though, a trumpeteer emerges, followed by a couple drummers and singers, seemingly marching in line. The creatures range from almost human to animals to furballs to unidentafiable shapes. Many resemble the paintings of our ancestors and distant memories. From deeper in the forest, a cacophony grows. More and more march out, the chaos of a thousand instruments and an almost hellish chorus. As terrifying as this should have been, it was strangely welcoming. The whole town, just having gotten over their shock, joined in, with instruments of their own. Each marcher and townsfolk seemed to play their own song, yet together, it became a strange orchestra. Many knew, however, that the marching band meant danger. They locked their doors, ran the water from their faucets, hung iron and silver ornaments, and painted strange symbols on thier walls. The revelers tried to get them to join, not out of malice, for they had not known better. Soon, the band left the town, marching all the way back into the woods, where the sounds subsided. The town by the woods was nearly empty.
Cosmo, you are one talented individual
A young girl stumbles across a community of fae folk in the depths of the woods, after wandering too far from home. At first they are curious of who she is, but with her gentle touch and kind demeanor they slowly start to accept her as a friend. As time goes she forgets about the outside world and grows ever closer with the fae.
They share music, food, they live merry and they show her things she could only dream to see. Until one day she strays to a place she should not go and tries to touch an object she should not touch.
Believing it's treachery and simply human greed instead of innocent curiosity, the fae turn on her, becoming angry and distrusting. She desperately searches for freedom, but at every turn runs into another furious fae.
She begins to panic. All seems lost, and hope is dwindling. But as she gives up, she sees a light. Her way out. The young girl can feel the angry fae hot on her heels as she sprints towards it. She reaches out towards the warm and bright light of day.
Everything goes white
And I can't even fucking animate it-
felt
I could listen to Cosmo’s music forever...
This. Is. My favourite song. From. The much much how how and I. It just, starts off deep and full power like a rising storm stretching into forever, and then ascends into an absolute clamour of sounds, colour, and life. I love it so much. Always have, always will.
It helps me deal with all the noises of life by replacing it with cosmo sheldrake
You can tell the developers of sackboys big adventure was a having a blast of a time making it when they added this in
Yeah
I never heard this in game, where does it play?
This could literally be used for a game where your in a city and the royal family comes out because of a traditional event and that song played as they slowly go out the castle walls to greet their people
I'd kill to have this as a song that band students have to play in high school. Maybe as a finale of senior year, since it seems a little advanced.
The musical bit at the end gives me very strong “Where The Wild Things Are” vibes, specifically the parade scene
Could fit perfectly in a Ghibli Movie
Love it!♥️
All his songs are prefect for MAKING a Ghibli movie, whaddya mean??
But I also agree wholeheartedly with your comment :D
This song is just genuinely an incredible way to end an album. The whole ensemble, together, making noisy chaos that works so wonderfully together. I’ve been listening to Cosmo music on loop since I found out that this is the genius behind the Moss, my favorite song I never knew the artist of for who knows how long. And Hocking is one of my favorite tracks across all the albums. The energy between the musicians is amazing, and I feel like I’m there, just jamming with them.
everybody says the end is a mess... But I don't hear the mess.
"What do birds know?" is the best lyric in any song ever
everything about this is awesome, i just had to point that specific thing out.
I think in Cosmo’s Pelicans We when he said “We think so then and we thought so still” is beautiful also
Poopie Hed hard agree with you on that. The casual disregard for time speaks to me
my favorite song to blare at full volume into my ears :)
- immediately adds to long playlist of Cosmo songs -
*yes*
I honestly thought this was gonna be another nice calm song of yours... and then I got to the end and my mind was blown out the window. This is more intense than the moss and come along *combined* and I *love it*
100/10
Edit: this reminds me heavily of a huge battle scene from the books I write... it would make another amazing art project.... soo many ideas eeeeeeee
This music gives the feel of exploring mountains with no real need to get or go anywhere anytime.
so i happened to stumble across this song while scrolling through this album because i really wanted to hear what cosmo's other songs sound like (i was just starting to get into his music), and i happened to play this song next
although, i had to get some chores done in the house and chuck out the trash, so i just left this song playing in the living room and left to go do my chore because "lol who cares, i'll be right back, this takes two seconds"
when i walked back into my house, i did not at all expect to return to a room blaring of squawking instruments in the middle of a song
Happy two years to this merry madness of a song
The puffer fish is me when I stub my toe
Oh my god the part at the end! With all those instruments so loud, all going off on different melodies, but all still working together. Cosmo has such beautiful skill. I applaud the entire freaking jazz band he gathered for this as well. You're all music gods.
*someone tell me where this dude got a harp*
It is his harp, gifted by the Fae
I bet this dude has much more than just a harp
this feels like walking through a marsh or Forrest and hearing faint horns and drums and chirps almost mimicking your rambling before you outright ask who’s there in meter and time of the beat your hearing, and whatever your speaking with plays along, echoing a response without words but a perfectly understood sense of playfulness regardless, and so ensues an increasingly wild and exhilarating game of noise and revelry. eventually it ends perfectly and cohesively as if it never happened. You don’t know what was singing with you, and you never hear it again, but hearing it at all was worth everything in the world
This song sounds like something going very wrong; absolute calamity.
It makes me think of a blimp or airship coming down, surrounded in blazing fire. "Crashing and burning" is the most succinct way I can put it.
It's like all the animals in the jungle all making noise together.
I swear every time I think I've heard all of The Much Much there's a new song I haven't heard before.
This makes me way too happy. Bless you, Cosmo, you amazing person.
This song's lyrics are like when two puzzle pieces fit together perfectly when they're not meant to.
I really like this song! Sounds so much more modern and intense than the other songs in this album, but still feels like a classic! If I could, I would buy 1 thousand copies of the album and then make it into a dress to wear on Wednesdays on school
The instrumental alone is breathtaking. Then his voice, it feels like listening to an epic adventure.
This music makes me so pumped in the evening when I have to go to work. Thank you for such motivating music.
Thanks for all these great tunes, really brightened my days :-)
Can’t wait to buy the album!! Cosmo you are an amazing artist, keep up the creative work! :)
Ah, I just love your songs! They have just the right amount of crazy in them to make it fun, and just enough legibility to make them relatable!
This just made me think about a more calmer, ominous, mysterious, and more nature and fantasy based version of The Legion from Fallout New Vegas.
easily one of my favorite songs from this album, it always calms me down from panic attacks. Especially the end for some reason. Thank you, I need this music
just discovered this album yesterday! potential life changer. beautiful stuff. thank you so much for making this music!
I'm so glad I discovered this music. I keep listening to more and more and I love it
Finally! Just the music I have been waiting to hear! Great mix of instrumentals!
What an amazing ending to an album. While it keeps ramping up it still feels like a fitting cap to it all. Can never get enough of it.
This is seriously one of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire life....
Middle school bands warming up.
This is definitely becoming one of my favourite albums
Your songs hurt me in s pleasant way. I dont know how to describe this feeling. They take me to my beloved childhood, to times long gone and I feel such a strong nostalgia listening to them. Can't get enough. It'd be a tragedy for us if you stopped making these masterpieces 🔥
some people say its messy but i kinda like the chaos of the end
its deformed and raw (As my friend calls it, feeling natural)
people try to control the music but it feels so nice to hear the chaos
letting it flow and shit fhbfbhshjb
the song slowly goes into chaos, everything blending together
nothing is perfect, life is not a constant rhythm
i think this song embodies that
Incredibly fun song. One of the best closing songs on an album, really hoping to see you in Cali soon!
Dude how on earth do you come up with such out-of-the-world arrangements??
Love this album and this is one of my favorites ^^
This song is really magical and chaotic!
Another fave song!!!! You never ever ever fail to please. You should make a QnA one day!!
i need a louder version of this bc I need to feel the vibe to ur music more
it's just too good :D
I had an out of body experience to this song
I been enjoying all these songs. They are amazing
Hey Cosmo,are you ever going to come to the US? Specifically Wisconsin? I’d LOVE to go to wherever it was,but I don’t know if you’d go
Sweeti Sweet YES WE NEED HIM IN WISCONSIN
Hes on tour rn, check to see if hes in Wisconsin
My sister and I will be seeing him in Chicago Tuesday night (Oct. 1, 2019). I'm sooooo excited!!
Anther amazing song! I been loving them all!
It must have been so fun to play this for the trumpets and drums, these people just went all out and just had a good time, you can hear that
This song is so beautifully wild
I like to imagine a band club with no teacher coming up with a song and this is what they came up with
thank you cosmo for my life
man its been a while since i listened 2 this song i forgot how much i love it
