I just woke up from an amazing dream about this part of the song. In it, I was watching the sun rise, and this song was playing. What made it better than just any other sunrise was it was just part of some hazy, alien dreamscape with this song just echoing from nowhere. It was the most amazing thing I've never actually seen.
Wow, this tune gives me chills like nothing else, almost as if i feel something pushing me in the back, and then, my whole body feels covered in chills and it almost feels like some kind of drug, feels amazing
I feel so nostalgic listening to this part of the song, as if it were an important part of my childhood and yet I have never heard it until now. Burial is a genius.
i nearly cired... burial thank you for everything... make the best out of everything .. as bad as the situation may be.. enjoy life and listen to Burial..
I realize that the lyrics are likely borrowed from Ernie Halter's "Whisper" and are probably supposed to be: "God can you please whisper in her ear, I wasn't sure we could be friends" But I heard "Shell of Light" first and I (as I'm sure many others did) heard the lyrics as: "God can you please hurry and find me, I wasn't sure we could be friends" Somehow that just seems more meaningful to me. I imagine a broken and isolated soul crying out in her time of need.
I also found this first which led me onto that Whisper tune. and personally, to me i heard it as "God can you please hurry and return to me, i wasn't sure we could be there yet". and for me it seems a whole lot more meaningful. but honestly, i think burial just wanted some nice ambient vocals to go over it and make their own assumptions. if he wanted people to follow the lyrics exactly he would have made it a lot clearer. I know Burial just likes to let people's minds go wild when listening to his music.
Your comment almost made me cry. Burial is all about subversion and renewing old material to create a totally unique message. The fact that people literally interpreted the lyrics differently too has hit me like a wall of emotion. Beautiful
I've heard it as "God can you whisper, I'm hurting, I wasn't sure if we could be friends". Don't hear one ounce of nostalgia, just soul crushing loneliness
This on a rainy day in an old house.... perfection I think my favorite aspect of Burial is that he can convey such huge amounts of emotion in short times, how he can distill the artistic meaning of an entire album or track into one section. Think of the section around 6:00 in truant, it sounds like a bunch of tracks and emotions mixed. Such perfection. Thank you burial, thank you sisterray060
i always somehow stumble upon a track that perfectly fits what i’m going through in life & this is no different. music seems to be the only thing to truly understand me.
-About sampled voice: I believe it's an acapella of a live performance or a cover of this song: Ernie Halter - Whisper If it's a live performance this track was pitched up, the singer it's a man and the voice sounds like a woman...

LASTDAYZ you are definitely correct. the most obvious thing that proves you right is that the melody is different from the original version (and from most covers, too). especially on "i wasn't sure if we could be friends." also the way "i wasn't sure" is chopped here makes it sound as if the first thing the singer is singing is the "i" whereas the line in the original song starts "i told her that..."-- i'm overanalyzing here but i spent one night a long time ago trying to find the cover/live version he sampled from and i'm having a conspiracy theory that burial actually may have had someone do an original recording of the melody (notice that you don't hear any other instruments--like a guitar). in an interview he did say he sometimes had friends sing things over the phone for this album, so this could be one of those times. it does sound sampled, though, so maybe not.
LASTDAYZ close resident advisor found the sample. its thicker african american femem teenager who did the cover. they disclose her name tho sadly. sounds beatiful
could you provide a YT link with that cover mate, or any kind of sample reference (or at least the very sample uploaded) so I could dig the matter deeper?

The space between hope and utter sadness
This is the most beautiful outro I've ever heard.

@@Mark-sm5km Thank you! 4 years later I still vividly remember it. The best dreams really stick around
@@Hi-fd4cw man i want to have that kind of dream too
Truly spectacular! That's why dreams are the best!
if i had to pick one track that i absolutely could not live without it's shell of light
Wow, this tune gives me chills like nothing else, almost as if i feel something pushing me in the back, and then, my whole body feels covered in chills and it almost feels like some kind of drug, feels amazing
i litterally feels as if something is moving through my body

"God can you whisper in her ear...I wasn't sure if we could be friends...."
god could you please hurry and find me, i wasnt sure if we could be friends
Crying while thinking about childhood. Damn. This is not just a tune. Much love to everyone, please take care of yourself
I feel so nostalgic listening to this part of the song, as if it were an important part of my childhood and yet I have never heard it until now.
Burial is a genius.
Haven't heard this in years. I'm still in love with it and and always will be
i nearly cired... burial thank you for everything... make the best out of everything .. as bad as the situation may be.. enjoy life and listen to Burial..
Nearly cried? Man I become a fountain, pouring when listening.
As Bad as the situation may be, enjoy life, love, and listen burial & four tet. ♥️🔯
This is the most nostalgic piece of music I ever heard.
This is a deeply religious experience.

CRJ Blacklight Audio Much prefer you’re take on the lyrics 👍🏽
@@CRJBlacklightAudio all of your interpretations are beautiful. i like to imagine all the lines one by one after each loop.
Your comment almost made me cry. Burial is all about subversion and renewing old material to create a totally unique message. The fact that people literally interpreted the lyrics differently too has hit me like a wall of emotion. Beautiful

Thanks for doing and uploading THIS!!! Its stuck in my head, the whole day already. This gives me relief....
Music for the night loneliness and melancholia
This on a rainy day in an old house....
perfection

Thank you burial, thank you sisterray060
Or at sunset on the shore of a lake tucked away in the mountains. I experienced it and cried
Awesome! This part of the song is so strikingly beautiful.
i always somehow stumble upon a track that perfectly fits what i’m going through in life & this is no different. music seems to be the only thing to truly understand me.
Pure sunrise feels
Yeah after a 12 hour night shift on the streets while it rained in autumn.
@@ItsTomJoe perfect. Nice!
I personally really like that there's no beat in this tune.
We need a 1080p version for 2023.
I can give you the WAV, let me know.
Heartbreakingly lovely
This is like a vignette in audio form...
damn...this song makes my heart tighten up
Finally somebody has done what so many people have wanted and done right. thank you so much you absolute legend! :)
"God could you please hurry and find meeee... I wasn't sure if we could be friendsss."
Gods awesome, check out the Sclohmo remix.
Im not crying youre crying

LASTDAYZ I heard it was a sample from D'angelo. Haven't done any research myself, hope this helps though
LASTDAYZ close resident advisor found the sample. its thicker african american femem teenager who did the cover. they disclose her name tho sadly. sounds beatiful
could you provide a YT link with that cover mate, or any kind of sample reference (or at least the very sample uploaded) so I could dig the matter deeper?
thankful
There's nothing in the world like this. So fucking raw and beautiful.
@sisterray060 Thank you!!!!! I always loved the second half soo much.... you did well my friend.
thank you :)
I thought about doing this too. Glad you did.
If you havent cried to this part you have no soull
BIG fucking UPS!! Only Burial could make this more beautiful than it should be. Unbelievable love
WE COULD BE FRIEEEEEYENDSS

Rainymood + this :o awesome !

'God can you whisper in her ear, I wasn't sure that we could be friends. Because I think we should be more'. - what this song makes me think about

ANY IDEAS WHERE THE SAMPLE IS FROM?
AA MM AA ZZ II NN GG

Despair

It's on RUclips: visatapani
@joshe123 What a fantastic interpretation! I think I prefer your misheard translation.
i wasnt sureeeeeeee
@navos2003 For me it sounds more "God can you please hurry and find me" :]

Hats off to JK Rowling for making unbelievable music and books. legend
dont get it?
its an old meme
Its an older meme sir, but it checks out
truly a visionary
@sisterray060 Do you think you could post an HD download link...? Say, mediafire?
This is honestly amazing... And HD would be many times better:P
it needs some deep bass(not kinda whoop or something like that, just soft deep bass), then, it will be more than perfect :)
i donno what he says in the begining but i really wasn't sure we could be friends...
oggi mi piace come ti vesti…..
r those squares moving
God can you please hurry up and find me
He ment Audacity. [ The Software ]
Where's the "give me a hug" sampled from? o:
anyone have an HD download of this...? 240p=crap quality...
I always thought it said 'catching you with her hurt me, I wasn't sure if we could be friends'. Looks like I was wrong all this time!
That much more sad than the actual lyrics.
I've herd the original as tha vocals were sampled..n it is as I've sed..but I gess u can derive wat u want out of tha song..wateva duzit 4u :) peace!
Burial tracks can only be perfect as a whole piece and unaltered in his beauty itself. So why dividing it into pieces?
This is better than Oliver the vocolid
thx for this:) Burial - Shell Of Light (Louis La Roche Remix) A realy good one...Check out....thx again man:)
"Whisper" by Ernie Halter
@simplemente1 Sorry... but no :)
