I’m here because this sweet old man I met at a science museum told me to watch this. We shared a moment with the jellyfish where they were turning different colors and he said it reminded him of this video. S/O to you, wherever you are. You knew your audience 🪼💓
I'm a music student analyzing this for my final music theory project. I've listened to this song hundreds and hundreds times this semester and I NEVER get tired of it!
I randomly found the sea this song is on at a thrift store and the cover I was just like I don't care if it's not Sunday where they're 50% off I have to buy it. It's in my top five favorite CDs I found at the thrift store probably number one.
I haven't slept since last night n im trippping on this mystical brilliantly collection of various kinds of sounds...wit a joint in my jaws... life's amazing...no body really knows tht how we came here but the brain behind this all is a mastermind...love to everybody here...🖤
@@railgap well. You certainly are an arrogant dude Mr. I know all about drugs. Yes, I have tolerance. It was pure LSD from a trusted seller. I tripped 1 week before that dose. So yeah, probably I felt only half. I wasted my LSD? Maybe I didn't get the magic feeling and full effect, but trust me that it was a solid trip. I really had a hard time writing that comment. And I meant no harm or feeling better than other people for writing that comment. Just did it for the lolz. So, good day to you dude.
Jellyfishes have been on this planet for 500 million years, some of the oldest creatures with some of them living forever due to some weird life cycle. But imagine what they've been through to survive all this time and how they evolved. They evolved to become super energy efficient, they can diffuse oxygen through there body, some can produce food through photosynthesis. To us they seem very primitive but what if they have a higher state of consciousness and looks down at us humans "rookies"
I Feel The Cosmos I feel the same about plants that you are saying about Jellyfish. Just because we can't comprehend the state of consciousness in tree's & plants doesn't mean they don't have one that we simply can't fathom. There was a book The Secret Life Of Plants that came out in the late 70's with a lot of scientific evidence to back up the concept that plants have consciousness. Now there's a very recent one called The Hidden Life Of Tree's which takes it to a whole new level. It's in bookshops now. I'd read it, it's a blowout 1
These creatures know the art of drifting constantly adapting always unfolding. I had a lucid dream, they were drifting in the sky, they were in bioluminescent purples and blues.
I didn't dream I had my eyes open and they were flying infront of my eyes they were green. I swear them 2 times once in italy and once in egypt. And my neighbour in egypt has seen them too
Every time i trip start out with this song. What a gift to the world!!! The video is visually stunning. And I'm about to start all my trips visiting this comment section too because the vibes in here are LIFE!!! Dropped 600ug for the first time ever today. Everything is so vibrantly colored, like shimmering metallic neon lights. Kinda getting hard to finish writing this comment haha
@mario psota I don't know why people say this stuff. Firstly, yes you can. But anyway...it says I dropped it *today* I didn't say I was peaking at the time of comment.
that moment it comes on is pivotal, even if the sound in this world is no longer heard once deep into it, but this track can start to warp my perspective even sober. too
For some moronic reason I had forgotten about this beautiful piece. I've always loved how the beginning really does sound like jellyfish dancing. Shpongle is a gift from God.
Thanking you so much, lovely video and the fabulous soundtrack, very uplifting I enjoyed I just wanted jump in the water and join these fabulous creatures 🍀🌊🍀☯️😼☮️🏄the ocean is so fascinating we must protect our earth 🌻🌍🌻
How do you comunicate so much beauty? It's Incredible. I just look at it and it brings me to tears. Because I'm looking at it and I'm looking at myself. Yeah you've never really seen Shpongle until you've seen it on 5meo DMT. Until you recognize that it's you and that's basically what Infinity is. Sort of like I love you, no I love you, no I love you, no I love you, no I love you more, I love you more, I love you more. Who can love who more? And whoever can love who more is God. You see that long laundry list of stuff about you that you don't love. God loves all of it. I'm sorry for not loving more, that's the only thing you have to be sorry about. Thank you. Thank You For Love! And at this point you realize that that's it, that's the point. That's the only lesson in life. That's my only job. Is to love. Everything else is idiocy and then what you do is you say I love you. For the first time in your life you say I love you because you really understand what that phrase means and you fall in love with God. But as it throws it out there, it's gentle so he throws it out there but then you say oh I can't love it and then what God will say in return is, it's okay. I love that you are not capable of love. I love that. And when that hits you. That's what fills you with enough love to overcome your resistance to love even that next level thing that you could do. No it can't be love. Of course it's love! what else could it be! It's love! No oh my God this is impossible! Of course it's love how could it be anything else!? How could I be so stupid as to think it's anything else. And God is like of course it's love.
This story takes place a half a billion years ago-an inconceivably long time ago, when this planet would be all but recognizable to you. Nothing at all stirred on the land except the wind and the dust. Not a single blade of grass waved in the wind, not a single cricket chirped, not a single bird soared in the sky. All these things were tens of millions of years away in the future. But of course there was an anthropologist on hand. What sort of world would it be without an anthropologist? He was, however a very depressed and disillusioned anthropologist, for he'd been everywhere on the planet looking for someone to interview, and every tape in his knapsack was as blank as the sky. But one day as he was moping alongside the ocean he saw what seemed to be a living creature in the shallows off shore. It was nothing to brag about, just sort of a squishy blob, but it was the only prospect he'd seen in all his journeys, so he waded out to where it was bobbing in the waves. He greeted the creature politely and was greeted in kind, and soon the two of them were good friends. The anthropologist explained as well as he could that he was a student of life-styles and customs, and begged his new friend for information of this sort, which was readily forthcoming. ‘And now’, he said at last, ‘I'd like to get on tape in your own words some of the stories you tell among yourselves.’ ‘Stories?’ the other asked. ‘You know, like your creation myth, if you have one.’ ‘What is a creation myth?’ the creature asked. ‘Oh, you know,’ the anthropologist replied, ‘the fanciful tale you tell your children about the origins of the world.’ Well, at this, the creature drew itself up indignantly- at least as well as a squishy blob can do- and replied that his people had no such fanciful tale. ‘You have no account of creation then?’ ‘Certainly we have an account of creation,’ the other snapped. ‘But its definitely not a myth.’ ‘Oh certainly not,’ the anthropologist said, remembering his training at last. ‘Ill be terribly grateful if you share it with me.’ ‘Very well,’ the creature said. ‘But I want you to understand that, like you, we are a strictly rational people, who accept nothing that is not based on observation, logic, and scientific method.’ ‘"Of course, of course,’ the anthropologist agreed. So at last the creature began its story. ‘The universe,’ it said, ‘was born a long, long time ago, perhaps ten or fifteen billion years ago. Our own solar system-this star, this planet, and all the others- seem to have come into being some two or three billion years ago. For a long time, nothing whatever lived here. But then, after a billion years or so, life appeared.’ ‘Excuse me,’ the anthropologist said. ‘You say that life appeared. Where did that happen, according to your myth- I mean, according to your scientific account.’ The creature seemed baffled by the question and turned a pale lavender. ‘Do you mean in what precise spot?’ ‘No. I mean, did this happen on land or in the sea?’ ‘Land?’ the other asked. ‘What is land?’ ‘Oh, you know,’ he said, waving toward the shore, ‘the expanse of dirt and rocks that begins over there.’ The creature turned a deeper shade of lavender and said, ‘I cant imagine what you're gibbering about. The dirt and rocks over there are simply the lip of the vast bowl that holds the sea.’ ‘Oh yes,’ the anthropologist said, ‘I see what you mean. Quite. Go on.’ ‘Very well,’ the other said. ‘For many millions of centuries the life of the world was merely microorganisms floating helplessly in a chemical broth. But little by little, more complex forms appeared: single-celled creatures, slimes, algae, polyps, and so on.’ ‘But finally...,’ the creature said, turning quite pink with pride as he came to the climax of his story, ‘...but finally, Jellyfish appeared!!! - from the story Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
A weekend alone with myself, I drop some good acid while watching this on my home projector... in the privacy of my own home with some sandalwood incense burning. Reality soon to come true.
8:45 Sometimes... you just feel... like... A cosmic onion... And each time you peel a layer, you just find... another layer... Until all the layers are peeled off and then what have you got, then?? NOTHING. Nothing.... Deflated... deflated... deflated like a balloon... Deflated like a balloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
8:29 is just.... the sum-up... of the perfection that is this track... a confluence of so many melodies and notes such a beautiful arrangement that almost seems to be out of this world... It brings some sense of elegance at the same time that is so mystic and majestic. I really just don't have words to describe, I shall just listen to it over and over again...
I'm shrooming so hard... and I'm real caught up on the fucking word "shpongle"... it's making me laugh so hard and I can barely write this; but because it's doing just that, so I felt I should... It took me 10 minutes to get to this point so I'm just gonna post it. I'm standing at my kitchen counter laughing
Show me the most astonishing representation of the beauty and truth of the universe. Show me all of the layers of nature itself. Take me to where there is no hiding.
9:00 And each day you peel a layer. You just found another layer. ...until all the layers have peeled off and then what have you got then? nothing... Nothing.
impossible, a proportion cannot not be divided otherwise it is not a proportion. A proportion can be divided infinite times, if you divide a proportion and you end up with an in-devidable proportions which means that it is a "zero" proportion, then how can the "zero" proportions form a proportion when combined?
The opening chords just immediately play with your emotions. Love this track. I like the evolutionary meaning behind the title and also the reference to the cosmic onions we all are.
From 9:01 is other track. Absolutely amazing. First time I heard Shpongle was in "A Valid Path" an Alan Parsons album with David Gilmour and others electronic projects (2004).
Seeing as how all life came from the ocean, as far as we are aware, I was curious and wondered if any psychedelic compounds could be found beneath the seas. Not much is known about these compounds, but it is known that there are fish that can be eaten and cause hallucinations and also there is a type of coral that contains a form of DMT called 5-Bromo-DMT. No one has ever tried it and documented their experience as far as I know. Look into it though, super interesting. Sea DMT. I see DMT, I want DMT. I see Sea DMT, I wonder, has anyone on these high seas consumed this DMT, possibly in a tea, a treat for you and me. Haha not tripping, just sleep deprived alright peace.
@@justrelax129 Animals and fungi are closely related - if you want a headtrip look up opisthokonta This is why some antifungal drugs are toxic - they non selectively kill parts of you along with the invading fungus.
@@AncientTruthSeeker It's been documented before. It only occurs in a few different species of sea sponge. 5-Bromo-DMT is a really simple derivative of DMT. It's nearly identical to 5-MeO-DMT, with the exception of the methoxy functional group being replaced by a bromine atom.
Love shpongle,, and I'll never get bored of this,, its the last day of 2019,,happy new year to anyone that may read this,, let's rave into 2020,,old school 4 life,,!!! 🙏

A quick interpretation of the song name: Jellyfish were probably the first animals to evolve nervous systems There are animals with nervous systems on mountains Therefore the jellyfish jumped up the mountain
I remember 'snapping out of it' at one point, and suddenly seeing the 'actual' room I was in around me and thinking 'hoooolllly fuck I am tripping sooooo hard'. I had totally forgotten I was just in my bedroom, but instead thought I was basically taking a tour of this consciousness factory. I quickly fell back into Salvialand and this is when my ego death occurred.
It’s hard to not get freaked out in those situations, even when I’m very stoned and not even tripping. The sensations can be overwhelming and my mind naturally freaks out, I haven’t really been able to just let things happen unfortunately
I was thinking how we all stand upon the shoulders of giants in one way or another, while listening here tonight, and that I suppose Shpongle, in all their glory are doing the same, and yet are that rare event who manage to both stand on the shoulders of giants and also be giants in their own right. Whosoever manages to stand upon Sphongles shoulders and express their experience musically, I for one presubscribe to. Until then, just wow shpongle.
You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but Shpongle is that times a thousand.
IF YOURR TRIPPING. To remove ads, fast forward to END of song, then go back to the start, ads will be skipped or u can watch them on mute first then play in peace no interruptions Now you can browse music in peace!
plot twist: the jellyfish didn't jumped up the mountain, he knew all along everything was around him. Not above, but in his immediate surroundings. Start from there.
After this came out I came on here during my first acid trip and made some wild ass comment and people were roasting me so hard I deleted the comment and entire RUclips account, I was so sad lol
They looked forward to that moment with joy, but without haste, not pining for it, but seeming to have a foretaste of it in their hearts, of which they talked to one another. But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family.
Was crying over a loss adn listening to Pruit Igoe. Then youtube played me this... it's the first time I heard it; I entered a trance as well; I did 5-MEO a month ago and this brought back some of that vibe.
In a far-off land, there was a tribe of people known as the Shpongles. They were a peaceful and harmonious people, living in harmony with nature and each other. They were known for their unique and beautiful music, which they played on instruments made from natural materials found in the surrounding forest. One day, a young Shpongle named Dorset was out foraging for food in the forest when he stumbled upon a strange and mysterious object. It was a small, intricately carved box with symbols and patterns etched into its surface. Dorset had never seen anything like it before and was immediately drawn to it. Without hesitation, he picked up the box and brought it back to the village to show the other Shpongles. They were equally fascinated by the strange object and began to study it closely. As they examined the box, they discovered that it had the power to transport them to different dimensions and realities. They quickly realized that this was no ordinary object, but a powerful tool that could be used for great good or great harm. With the help of the box, the Shpongles were able to explore and experience new worlds and cultures. They met many different beings and made many friends along the way. They also encountered dark forces and evil entities, but with the help of the box, they were able to overcome them and bring peace and harmony to the multiverse. As the years passed, the Shpongles became known as the greatest explorers and musicians in the multiverse. They traveled from dimension to dimension, spreading love and joy through their music and their kind hearts. And the mysterious box, known as the "Shpongle Box," was passed down from generation to generation, a cherished and powerful tool for the Shpongles to continue their journey of discovery and harmony.
This reminds me of some old black and white French documentaries from the early era of film. I can't remember what they were called, but they were weird films of jellyfish and microscopic things. I can't find it, but now I'm looking at old Lumiere films. It's about the same look and genre.
The electronic robotic sounds made me fall out of my body..and flip inside out..I love it:p Thank you Shpongle forr the natural highs and erotically induced high from our beloved magical plants and creations ♥️💜🌈
I’m here because this sweet old man I met at a science museum told me to watch this. We shared a moment with the jellyfish where they were turning different colors and he said it reminded him of this video. S/O to you, wherever you are. You knew your audience 🪼💓

This story takes place a half a billion years ago-an inconceivably long time ago, when this planet would be all but recognizable to you. Nothing at all stirred on the land except the wind and the dust. Not a single blade of grass waved in the wind, not a single cricket chirped, not a single bird soared in the sky. All these things were tens of millions of years away in the future.
But of course there was an anthropologist on hand. What sort of world would it be without an anthropologist? He was, however a very depressed and disillusioned anthropologist, for he'd been everywhere on the planet looking for someone to interview, and every tape in his knapsack was as blank as the sky. But one day as he was moping alongside the ocean he saw what seemed to be a living creature in the shallows off shore. It was nothing to brag about, just sort of a squishy blob, but it was the only prospect he'd seen in all his journeys, so he waded out to where it was bobbing in the waves.
He greeted the creature politely and was greeted in kind, and soon the two of them were good friends. The anthropologist explained as well as he could that he was a student of life-styles and customs, and begged his new friend for information of this sort, which was readily forthcoming. ‘And now’, he said at last, ‘I'd like to get on tape in your own words some of the stories you tell among yourselves.’
‘Stories?’ the other asked.
‘You know, like your creation myth, if you have one.’
‘What is a creation myth?’ the creature asked.
‘Oh, you know,’ the anthropologist replied, ‘the fanciful tale you tell your children about the origins of the world.’
Well, at this, the creature drew itself up indignantly- at least as well as a squishy blob can do- and replied that his people had no such fanciful tale.
‘You have no account of creation then?’
‘Certainly we have an account of creation,’ the other snapped. ‘But its definitely not a myth.’
‘Oh certainly not,’ the anthropologist said, remembering his training at last. ‘Ill be terribly grateful if you share it with me.’
‘Very well,’ the creature said. ‘But I want you to understand that, like you, we are a strictly rational people, who accept nothing that is not based on observation, logic, and scientific method.’
‘"Of course, of course,’ the anthropologist agreed.
So at last the creature began its story. ‘The universe,’ it said, ‘was born a long, long time ago, perhaps ten or fifteen billion years ago. Our own solar system-this star, this planet, and all the others- seem to have come into being some two or three billion years ago. For a long time, nothing whatever lived here. But then, after a billion years or so, life appeared.’
‘Excuse me,’ the anthropologist said. ‘You say that life appeared. Where did that happen, according to your myth- I mean, according to your scientific account.’
The creature seemed baffled by the question and turned a pale lavender. ‘Do you mean in what precise spot?’
‘No. I mean, did this happen on land or in the sea?’
‘Land?’ the other asked. ‘What is land?’
‘Oh, you know,’ he said, waving toward the shore, ‘the expanse of dirt and rocks that begins over there.’
The creature turned a deeper shade of lavender and said, ‘I cant imagine what you're gibbering about. The dirt and rocks over there are simply the lip of the vast bowl that holds the sea.’
‘Oh yes,’ the anthropologist said, ‘I see what you mean. Quite. Go on.’
‘Very well,’ the other said. ‘For many millions of centuries the life of the world was merely microorganisms floating helplessly in a chemical broth. But little by little, more complex forms appeared: single-celled creatures, slimes, algae, polyps, and so on.’
‘But finally...,’ the creature said, turning quite pink with pride as he came to the climax of his story, ‘...but finally, Jellyfish appeared!!!

A weekend alone with myself, I drop some good acid while watching this on my home projector... in the privacy of my own home with some sandalwood incense burning. Reality soon to come true.
💯 My Fav song of 2024.
TY Azure 🍫🍄
This song prevents bad trips
8:45
Sometimes... you just feel... like...
A cosmic onion...
And each time you peel a layer, you just find... another layer...
Until all the layers are peeled off and then what have you got, then??
NOTHING.
Nothing....
Deflated... deflated... deflated like a balloon...
Deflated like a balloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
That's what Patricio Dominguez said on DMT The Spirit Molecule. Layers of humanity
WHAT ARE YA DOING IN ME SWAMP?!?!
Jacob Penta were just all a cosmic onion jellyfish in space
SaLt AnD ViNIgAr MEmEs I swear your channel got me FuCK UP
@@Jollyman432 he must've been quoting alan watts
good that disco opened up into new world beat(emu/akai) to techno and fabulous looped drone waves.
Такая мягкость такая эластичность и удивительнейшая гармония!!!❤❤❤
8:29 is just.... the sum-up... of the perfection that is this track... a confluence of so many melodies and notes such a beautiful arrangement that almost seems to be out of this world... It brings some sense of elegance at the same time that is so mystic and majestic. I really just don't have words to describe, I shall just listen to it over and over again...
I love mushrooms.
-Mushrooms are Little Gods-
Mushrooms love you
me 2
mushrooms are alien probes
I love infected mushrooms
This is so nostalgic too me I remember seeing this as a kid and being so mesmerized
top notch production respect in every aspect
I’m drunk right now. The music feels so real right now. I love you friends but life is so difficult! Never give up as I have!
Stay strong my friend
Sending love your way
❤️

Don't drink fam
Just caught Posford at Camp Bisco. Amazing night!
love the trippy flange see-saw effect in the beginning...feels like my mind was being sawed in half by the music.
This is some classic shpongle.
I'm shrooming so hard... and I'm real caught up on the fucking word "shpongle"... it's making me laugh so hard and I can barely write this; but because it's doing just that, so I felt I should...
It took me 10 minutes to get to this point so I'm just gonna post it. I'm standing at my kitchen counter laughing
@@bonsaimonsai Shrooms effects people differently. You could've taken the same dose with different effects.
@@bonsaimonsai Sounds like you took too many bub
that sounded like fun lol
Hahahahahahahahaha
this sounds fake as shit
If only all youtube comments were as great as the ones for this vid. I love you guys.
3 minutes in and a COMMERCIAL..................So much for watching relaxing and listening to THIS.
Get youtube vanced. Literally a mod the ad blocks your youtube for you. Never had to deal with an ad again. It's life changing
I got to hear it live on the weekend:3 best trip ever :D
Chill with the coke
Nature is so incredibly beautiful. Love the music.
love how this straddles between tonal and atonal sonic magnificence
Show me the most astonishing representation of the beauty and truth of the universe. Show me all of the layers of nature itself. Take me to where there is no hiding.
Wtf. I had a schroom trip yesterday. It was verry intence... i couldnt stop listening to this song. Its the perfect trip music. Awsome!
9:00
And each day you peel a layer.
You just found another layer.
...until all the layers have peeled off and then what have you got then?
nothing...
Nothing.
gives me goosebumps!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
+WorldMan deflated like a ballooooooooooooooooooooon......

Delicious comment
impossible, a proportion cannot not be divided otherwise it is not a proportion. A proportion can be divided infinite times, if you divide a proportion and you end up with an in-devidable proportions which means that it is a "zero" proportion, then how can the "zero" proportions form a proportion when combined?
Phone brightness all the way upp
The mysterious nature of the Sea, I love it 🌊
The opening chords just immediately play with your emotions. Love this track. I like the evolutionary meaning behind the title and also the reference to the cosmic onions we all are.
Shpongle had their inspiration from a sponge, cause it absorbs so much off your time.
Loving having finally gotten Shpongled.
From 9:01 is other track. Absolutely amazing. First time I heard Shpongle was in "A Valid Path" an Alan Parsons album with David Gilmour and others electronic projects (2004).
Favolosi. Questo è decisamente uno dei più bei brani.
Seeing as how all life came from the ocean, as far as we are aware, I was curious and wondered if any psychedelic compounds could be found beneath the seas. Not much is known about these compounds, but it is known that there are fish that can be eaten and cause hallucinations and also there is a type of coral that contains a form of DMT called 5-Bromo-DMT. No one has ever tried it and documented their experience as far as I know. Look into it though, super interesting. Sea DMT. I see DMT, I want DMT. I see Sea DMT, I wonder, has anyone on these high seas consumed this DMT, possibly in a tea, a treat for you and me. Haha not tripping, just sleep deprived alright peace.
some say we came from mushrooms. I say it doesn't even matter.
@@justrelax129 Both might be right.
@@AncientTruthSeeker How would someone do it tho?
@@justrelax129 Animals and fungi are closely related - if you want a headtrip look up opisthokonta
This is why some antifungal drugs are toxic - they non selectively kill parts of you along with the invading fungus.
@@AncientTruthSeeker It's been documented before. It only occurs in a few different species of sea sponge. 5-Bromo-DMT is a really simple derivative of DMT. It's nearly identical to 5-MeO-DMT, with the exception of the methoxy functional group being replaced by a bromine atom.
Simply love the BASS! Every time it plays after a pause, it makes me smile! :)
Love shpongle,, and I'll never get bored of this,, its the last day of 2019,,happy new year to anyone that may read this,, let's rave into 2020,,old school 4 life,,!!! 🙏
well this aged like milk
@@thomasnixon5911 but that would make it terrible??,
@@Silvertongue8 yep, heard of corona?
@@astralwither8402 yes of course I have, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic,, I myself have had the corona,, well,, 98%,as I'm part of the group of people, (I live in England), and that group of people (which is in the tens of thousands) whom were diagnosed over the phone, 3 doctors all asked me to do all sorts of tests, like, I could only hold my breath for 4 seconds, it took me 60 seconds to count 19,,the test was count to 60 as quickly as you can, I could hardly talk, or move,, ,,, but when I got to 19 the doctor asked me to stop, cos he could see how out of breath I was,,, extreme fever,terrible cough,, bed ridden for 5 days,, on the 3rd day I was beginning to actually get really worried,, mum said to a doctor "my son needs to be in hospital as he can hardly talk" and the doctor replied "as long as he is answering the phone, that's a good sign and we only submit the people to the hospital if they are truly at deaths door and have underlying serious health issues",,, 3rd day I projectile vomited at least 1, maybe 2 pints of thick gloopy liquid,, which was the fluid that was building up in my lungs, I later found out,, which, for people who's immune system isn't good enough, can be the beginning of phenomena,, so yes dude,, I've heard of the corona,, and trust me,, its fucking vicious,!!!!!, and I wrote this msg on the last day of 2019,,if you bothered to read my 1st comment properly, , at that time, corona was not known about,,, as I said I can't tell if you are being sarcastic,, I'm also Aspergic, so sorry if I've been rather direct,,,, but the world was a different place on the last day of 2019,!!! who ever you are, and wherever you live,, do take care, stay safe,, peace, 🙏☯️,
A quick interpretation of the song name:
Jellyfish were probably the first animals to evolve nervous systems
There are animals with nervous systems on mountains
Therefore the jellyfish jumped up the mountain
I remember 'snapping out of it' at one point, and suddenly seeing the 'actual' room I was in around me and thinking 'hoooolllly fuck I am tripping sooooo hard'. I had totally forgotten I was just in my bedroom, but instead thought I was basically taking a tour of this consciousness factory.
I quickly fell back into Salvialand and this is when my ego death occurred.
FRRRRRR
It’s hard to not get freaked out in those situations, even when I’m very stoned and not even tripping. The sensations can be overwhelming and my mind naturally freaks out, I haven’t really been able to just let things happen unfortunately
One of the best songs to feel a special vibe
I think this video is beautiful to watch without the music bc I have used to help me sleep and it has calmed me down alot❤👌
I was thinking how we all stand upon the shoulders of giants in one way or another, while listening here tonight, and that I suppose Shpongle, in all their glory are doing the same, and yet are that rare event who manage to both stand on the shoulders of giants and also be giants in their own right. Whosoever manages to stand upon Sphongles shoulders and express their experience musically, I for one presubscribe to. Until then, just wow shpongle.
This is the most Shpongled comment section ever.
I am shpongled to hear you say that...!
all you are are awfully shpongled
Iu@@kiricoo100 i
Well, it's like I was telling the other Shpongoloid on Friday. Better to have been Sphongled and to have lost than never Sphongled at all.
sayed like mouth
very good........................................................................................
Just the start of this and I'm feeling it run through my veins
Positive vibes !
JAH PROVIDES
Under the influence of Shpongle. That’s one quality high
thank you
I love you guys so much
X W O
You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but Shpongle is that times a thousand.
IF YOURR TRIPPING. To remove ads, fast forward to END of song, then go back to the start, ads will be skipped or u can watch them on mute first then play in peace no interruptions
Now you can browse music in peace!
Not a single creature, but a collective entity. That’s beautiful and I’m not even high (just very drunk 😂)
I think this may be my all time favorite Shpongle piece to paint to!
F*ckin' movies in my mind while listening to this one, one of my favorite from Shpongle
Amazingly creative and unique sound
This helped me not become crazy on my lst trip lol
plot twist: the jellyfish didn't jumped up the mountain, he knew all along everything was around him. Not above, but in his immediate surroundings. Start from there.
Masterpiece.
Such a Beautiful little journey packed into 10min!! 💖
After this came out I came on here during my first acid trip and made some wild ass comment and people were roasting me so hard I deleted the comment and entire RUclips account, I was so sad lol
They looked forward to that moment with joy, but without haste, not pining for it, but seeming to have a foretaste of it in their hearts, of which they talked to one another. But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family.
This put me in a trance and when I spilled my coffee on my lap it snapped me back to reality. Natural DMT release😂
Was crying over a loss adn listening to Pruit Igoe.
Then youtube played me this... it's the first time I heard it;
I entered a trance as well; I did 5-MEO a month ago and this brought back some of that vibe.
Is natural DMT an actual thing?
@@ashleydkbDmt is in our brain my friend..
Immortality, and implosion in action
In a far-off land, there was a tribe of people known as the Shpongles. They were a peaceful and harmonious people, living in harmony with nature and each other. They were known for their unique and beautiful music, which they played on instruments made from natural materials found in the surrounding forest.
One day, a young Shpongle named Dorset was out foraging for food in the forest when he stumbled upon a strange and mysterious object. It was a small, intricately carved box with symbols and patterns etched into its surface. Dorset had never seen anything like it before and was immediately drawn to it.
Without hesitation, he picked up the box and brought it back to the village to show the other Shpongles. They were equally fascinated by the strange object and began to study it closely.
As they examined the box, they discovered that it had the power to transport them to different dimensions and realities. They quickly realized that this was no ordinary object, but a powerful tool that could be used for great good or great harm.
With the help of the box, the Shpongles were able to explore and experience new worlds and cultures. They met many different beings and made many friends along the way. They also encountered dark forces and evil entities, but with the help of the box, they were able to overcome them and bring peace and harmony to the multiverse.
As the years passed, the Shpongles became known as the greatest explorers and musicians in the multiverse. They traveled from dimension to dimension, spreading love and joy through their music and their kind hearts. And the mysterious box, known as the "Shpongle Box," was passed down from generation to generation, a cherished and powerful tool for the Shpongles to continue their journey of discovery and harmony.
Magnificent track and video.
Second favorite song from Shpongle, and that's a hard choice. The RRX live version is a trip.
They mixed this with some vocals from(I believe)Star Shpongled Banner. And yeah that show was absolutely incredible!
This reminds me of some old black and white French documentaries from the early era of film.
I can't remember what they were called, but they were weird films of jellyfish and microscopic things.
I can't find it, but now I'm looking at old Lumiere films. It's about the same look and genre.
I'm glad i found this on the internet. Awesome sound, awesome video.

WOW,WOW WOW ..what a VISUAL WOWSOME ! ARTTISTASTIC ...THANKS !
The sea looks so sweet, but It's powerful and dangerous too, how come Jellyfishes gets ignored so much they are so interesting and ancient
Cnidarians are my favorite group of invertebrates
I love all these people and Shpongle is just a genius!
Cette musique me transporte comme le fait un courant marin sur les méduses, c'est tellement doux ☁
The electronic robotic sounds made me fall out of my body..and flip inside out..I love it:p Thank you Shpongle forr the natural highs and erotically induced high from our beloved magical plants and creations ♥️💜🌈
Yes !!!!!
Has anyone ever heard similar noises on DMT to 2:45? The vibrating/echoing voices/sounds?
Edit: 3:15 sounds closer to what my experiences were
Never happened to me but i find it pretty interesting tho
Joseph Toth yes
Yes there are vibration of sounds
I have on acid, it speaks to me.
I don't know about those specifically, but I usually hear sound more as a vibration down my spine
