@@LJ-fr1ei he’s saying it’s somewhat ironic that an artist so known for pushing electronic music forward with stranger sounds has one of their most well known songs as a piano ballad
Shortly after my father passed away in 2019 from Cancer I went through his phone looking for pictures and videos and whatnot, and I came across this song on his radio app as the last thing he listened to and broke down. I had shown him Aphex Twin sometime prior and he really liked this song because it was relaxing. Knowing that this song was probably the last song while he listened to makes the song mean so much more to me personally. Whenever I want to remember him I listen to the music him and I enjoyed together and this is the one I always go to.
sorry if this is super disrespectful but what would happen if it turned out that the actual last song he listened to was like, smash mouth all star on the car radio or something
Avril 14th 2021, and to think that we were all gathered round here a year ago discussing the quarantine while it was still early. That's weird to think about. Anyways, love you all. Stay safe!
1:29 - 1:38 was used to make the entire piano line of "Iran so Far Away" by Lonely Island 1:39 - 50 was used to make the entire piano line of "Blame Game" by Kanye So in summary, apparently 20 seconds of Aphex Twin is enough to make 10+ additional minutes of world famous music. That is a damn concentrated amount of beauty and talent right there.
It's the first time since I've met Aphex that I remember to come here on April 14th to celebrate the date. Every other time I forgot and by the time I realized it was too late and much days had passed already. It's been ten years trying. Finally... happy Avril 14th!
Happy Avril 14th! We need to be there for each other. I almost lost a friend to suicide and now we're no longer friends. I would rather us not be friends than for my friend to be dead, though. Stay strong out there. Wishing you peace and love.
***** Did you reply to the wrong comment, mate? I enjoy Pink Floyd, Boards of Canada, and Kanye West, no need to pick favorites; they've all got their positives and negatives. And I know the definition of pop, so you're barking up the wrong tree here. XD
Can’t believe I almost missed this one, it’s my 4th year back here leaving a comment on such a beautiful piece of music history. I hope you’re okay You’re not alone Happy Avril 14th
Two days ago I narrowly avoided a fatal encounter when I overslept and was late for my commute that ended up getting shot up by a gunman in New York. I'm thankful for the miracle and feel lucky to be alive and well. Happy Avril 14th 2022
Once again Avril 14th arrives upon us. It's been 2 years since 2020, a lot has changed but a lot remains the same. I don't have as much to say as last year but I really do hope every person reading this is doing well. Stay safe everyone. You are all amazing and deserve love.
It's absolutely astounding that the very same person who made some of the craziest, most abrasive dnb of all time also made some of the most soothing, beautiful songs I've ever heard. And I love both styles.
You know, sometimes I wonder why Richard decided to name this hauntingly beautiful song after today of all days. Maybe something lifechangingly wonderful happened to him on this date, or maybe something crushingly sad. Maybe he just chose it on a whim. Whatever the case, I think I can speak for most Aphex Twin fans when I say I'm grateful for his decision; whether he intended to or not, he's turned this otherwise unremarkable, ordinary day into something special for all of us. Happy Avril 14th, everybody.
It's April 14th 2019 here in the UK, it's nearly 9 am and the sun is shining. It's a lazy sunday morning and i'm cuddling the dog. Listening to this amazing masterpiece. Thank you Mr Richard D James
i’m finally in piano lessons, and this is the ABSOLUTE FIRST song i told my piano teacher i wanted to learn. i’m almost halfway there now ❤️. a truly beautiful, unique, and special tune. nothing else can ever compare to this feeling he created.
The Rythm is a bit tricky but you are young and you'll get it. It is a bit 'mechanical' but still has a beautiful rhythm. If you like this then check out 'Cubicolor, Once Around'.. I can't play the whole thing yet is insanely difficult rythm but amazing modern piano
For me this song is about being woken up from everyday numbness. Everyday is the same and years of your life are a grey blur of nothing, when suddenly something or someone stands out and your world becomes full of colour and life.
This is exactly what I thought too!. In my life, the thing that opened everything up for me was realizing I'm trans. I took the name April after this song.
All I can think of is the word saudade. Saudade - "a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing may never return."
There’s a word in Welsh with a very similar meaning. Hiraeth - A deep longing for something which no longer exists or never existed. Though there a re different definitions, I think this is the most poetic. Some say that the word has a meaning which cannot be translated. It has to be felt.
I miss my dog. I miss my cat. I've come to miss a lot of things these last few years and started clinging to a simpler past way more than I should. It's like the last things connected to my childhood have finally died off and I'm left in a place of uncertainty. I feel like I'm a completely different person, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad. At least one thing stayed and that's me coming back to this song every year, to breathe in and look back.
Avril 14, 2021; Times have been rough but coming back here makes me forget about them for a bit. Keep struggling, we're all gonna make it!. See you next year! :D
When I was about 13 I received this album from my older brother when he moved out. I found such comfort for my angst, my confusion, my teenage depression in the playful melancholy journey that this very song carries me through in just two minutes. I played it on repeat hundreds of times, often letting it sing me to sleep. Eleven years later, I still soar through the highs and lows that Richard D. James captured here and in my heart. This will always be my favorite song.
On april 14, according to wiki: In 1561, a celestial phenomenon is reported over Nuremberg, described as an aerial battle. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln is shot. In 1912, Titanic hits the iceberg. In 1958 the Soviet satellite Sputnik 2 reenters into the atmosphere with the remains of Laika, the first living creature in space. Its is also the birthday of Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens and Russian sci-fi writer Boris Strugatsky.
Welp, It is that time again folks, The day in which we all meet today for all over the world to appreciate this masterpiece. Do you want to talk about something or something you want to say?
It's bizarre how a song can take you back to a specific place a specific spot, a specific time. The hopeful future, the moments where you just forget their ever will be a time beyond now. I feel paralysed in the endless flood of emotions as my mind gazes over the views I once saw, the times I was just casually messing about with friends I no longer know. It makes me want to run back their, even though I will still be looking back at the memories, I want to run back time to just savour the moment once more. I have a great life now, I had a great life then it was just different. I mourn for opportunities I missed and the hours I wasted, where I wish I could just marvel the life that once was.
today's the day again. i have so many problems, mainly being extremely academically burnt out with no way to stop. i dont feel like going into details here but i like coming back to this song not only because its a great song, but because others huddle around here for similar reasons as me - to be comfy
I'm a day late this year, unfortunately. But I guess that fits the life I'm currently living. Feels like I'm missing out on a lot of things in life, and have already wasted more than I ever wanted. Things haven't gotten better, quite the contrary. Times are ending, situations shift and change into all kinds of awful unexpected things and then stagnate, leaving me suspended in a limbo where I don't know if I can let my guard down and heal again. I wasn't prepared for what happened over the year and I fear I'm not ready for what's to come. I don't want to give up even though these days it feels so exhausting to just live day after day. I'll be here next Avril 14th though. This song is one of the few things that still give me some solace. Don't know what I'll have to say then but I hope it's gonna be good news for a change.
It's that day again. I like to come here to find solace and calm down after a stressful day. The years have been rough, I've lost a lot, people, pets, passions, but at least I am able to say that I found some friendsI can share this pain with. Loneliness loves to reside within me for most of the day but there are moments now where I feel heard and understood, even if it's a short interlude from all the chaos. I can make it through, I will see next year's Avril 14th as well.
rejoice, brothers and sisters. it is the day when we remember what it is to be alive: to suffer, to enjoy, to be happy and to be sad, to win and, in the end, to lose - to lose ourselves in memories of things passed and things that will never come to be. and then continue breathing. and we all do miss your dog, our dear unknown friend.
Never thought that there would come an Avril 14th when it would actually physically hurt to listen to music. Music, my faithful companion through life, my solace, my happy place.. let's hope that the next year when I revisit this song I'll be in a better place, happy that I can have a reunion with this beautiful melody, healthy once again.
3rd year and I’m writing another comment wishing everyone a great Avril 14th. I’m in Japan for this one which is a nice change. Anyway I hope things are okay.
Avril 14th here yet again, there have been the crazy moments and the good moments to even it out but things are going well, the small things of life are beginning to show again.
november 12th - coming back to this piece in six months. sucks that youre not around when i miss you like nothing else. i love you, madeleine, love you like nothing before.
avril 14th, 2022: i feel lighter now. i have moved on. i am in sun. i am still held down by insecurity, but its something that can be cut through - its intangible, so managable. everything evens out in the end. it will be ok.
When you at a party with friends from your early childhood meeting current ones like some weird time warp and you stand back to take in the passing of time
this song makes me feel like i'm inside a piano. like i'm a mouse that found its way inside one day and made it my home. i'd look forward to the time of day when the walls mysteriously rumble and i get to feel the harmonies in my bones :)
Happy Avril 14th, guys! It's a day for a yearly introspection - I hope that you are in a good place, proud of yourself for surviving another turbulent trip around the sun.
Wow.. That's really sad, I can't imagine how Aphex must have felt, but it's great to see that one of his most celebrated songs is a memorial song to his brother.
Happy April 14th guys! I recently moved into my first own apartment and came back home today for my dad’s birthday + for mine and my twin sister’s on the 19th. I opened the window of what used to be my room, enjoyed the warm breeze and listened to this song multiple times. I miss my best friend a lot. It’s my fault that we aren’t in contact anymore, but it will get better. It has to!! Stay safe everyone xxx
this makes me think of all the happiest memories that are now gone, just for me to remember, since everything just went away. i feel as though i can see everything that has passed with this person, just flashing great memories that now don't have that same feeling.
Its like this hits harder every year, in the past I showed this to a person I deeply love or loved, idk. and we shared our thoughts about it, mostly related to memories and nostalgia, and by this time she has become a memory as well
Happy Avril 14th guys. My grandma recently passed and right now my family and I are staying at her house just enjoying how nice her house is and the fact that we can use a dishwasher lmao. But yeah, it’s a beautiful day where I live so I’m probably gonna go for a walk or something like that. I hope you guys can do something also, and even if you can’t, just enjoy yourself and the day. Love you all ❤️
@@VANQUlSHED thanks man. recently getting into Aphex before and after my grandma died has really helped coping, especially the sweeter songs like this. Music just helps distract me in most cases and I’m glad there is music like this that we can really enjoy.
Last concert for my school’s jazz band of my senior year today. Both my solos sucked but I still got congratulations. Coming here reminds me how much I have left to grow and that I should accept the kindness of those around me, but I am still crushed by the realization that a period of my life that even know I start to look back on with rose tinted glasses is coming to a close
It's simply amazing what emotions a short song can bring out in you. Have you ever wished you could do it all over again? Be in your parents arms again as a baby and then live life with no worries and have all the friends you used to have and all the good times with family you haven't seen in years? This song reminds me of a past I wish I could remember more vividly and how I am who I am today thanks to my family and friends. Be proud of what you have become and who you always will be and to be thankful for the ones who helped guide you to be you.
Avril 14th is now finally here and the world still is a vastly different one from the avril 14th three years past, hopefully it will all be sorted out next avril 14th. Here's to hoping everyone!
I’m 19. I first listened to this song when I was 16. I was a junior in high school and trying to expand my music taste. I had a friend recommend Aphex Twin, so I decided to give it a shot. This was the first song I heard, and I remember the feeling it gave me, but I can’t describe it exactly. All I can say is that it did (and still does) calm me tremendously. I battle severe anxiety and depression, and whenever I’m about to have a panic attack I throw this song on to soothe me. I’m so happy that there are others who can find peace and joy through this song. To whoever is reading this, I hope you’re doing well! Remember that you’re loved and you matter.
Two days left before 14th of avril again. And it doesn't matter if this tune is from '92, '05 or even 2011. It always sounds like 'things are over now'... And as we look back on all these years that have passed, nothing else than some simple piano line is left ...
I like how the most popular song by electronic artist is piano ballad

my condolences. i hope all is well and you are doing alright
My condolences man, I know it doesn't mean much from a stranger online, but I hope you're doing alright

stay strong, i hope the best for you
Hope you are doing well

It really is
This is the best description of this song I can imagine
I dont want it to fade away,i want to remember forever,even if it hurts

Aphex Twin's ability to evoke emotion is scary. Like seriously, who knew one could change so much feeling with mere sound?

@@danizareen3926pretty sure the higher notes are impossible near the end.
For me this song is about being woken up from everyday numbness.
Everyday is the same and years of your life are a grey blur of nothing, when suddenly something or someone stands out and your world becomes full of colour and life.
Real shit
Deep and wonderful
this happened recently and this song perfectly describes how it feels. im crying again
This is exactly what I thought too!. In my life, the thing that opened everything up for me was realizing I'm trans. I took the name April after this song.
Slightly lower pitch than the original, and love it for that, brings you to tears
I like it too, the grainy quality makes it more nostalgic imo. More so since this video was uploaded back in 2007.
Happy Avril 14th everyone. I hope 2021 is treating you all well.
All I can think of is the word saudade.
Saudade - "a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing may never return."
There’s a word in Welsh with a very similar meaning.
Hiraeth - A deep longing for something which no longer exists or never existed.
Though there a re different definitions, I think this is the most poetic. Some say that the word has a meaning which cannot be translated. It has to be felt.
I love my mother language, Portuguese
Also the name of another beautiful song, by Love and Rockets
As a portuguese guy, i feel saudade when i listen to this song
Happy Avril 14th to everyone around the world. Hang in there, you’ll be okay.
I miss my dog.
I miss my cat. I've come to miss a lot of things these last few years and started clinging to a simpler past way more than I should. It's like the last things connected to my childhood have finally died off and I'm left in a place of uncertainty.
I feel like I'm a completely different person, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
At least one thing stayed and that's me coming back to this song every year, to breathe in and look back.
Well said, feeling pretty similar myself right now. Keep your head up, friend.
April 14th
i wonder what the dog doin now
Avril 14, 2021; Times have been rough but coming back here makes me forget about them for a bit. Keep struggling, we're all gonna make it!. See you next year! :D

Officially Avril 14th today, hope this day is a good one for all of you guys
How does something so simple conjure such melancholy bitter sweet feelings? Always puts me in “that” place when I hear this.
If a good childhood memory had music this would be what it sounds like. Nostalgic and happy, but a bit of sadness about the passing of time.
Never thought that there would come an Avril 14th when it would actually physically hurt to listen to music. Music, my faithful companion through life, my solace, my happy place.. let's hope that the next year when I revisit this song I'll be in a better place, happy that I can have a reunion with this beautiful melody, healthy once again.

Happy Avril 14th everyone.

Avril 14th here yet again, there have been the crazy moments and the good moments to even it out but things are going well, the small things of life are beginning to show again.
Happy Avril 14th to all those who didn’t make it to today.
Avril 14th here again! Hope this one's a great day for all out there!
We passed through another year! And that's great!

It’s time to come back here and see how strong you’ve become in the meantime. Happy Avril 14th!
avril 14th, 2022: i feel lighter now. i have moved on. i am in sun. i am still held down by insecurity, but its something that can be cut through - its intangible, so managable.
everything evens out in the end. it will be ok.
Happy Avril 14th on 2023!
Happy Avril 14th Everyone
Happy April 14th 2022, hope yall having a good one
When you at a party with friends from your early childhood meeting current ones like some weird time warp and you stand back to take in the passing of time
this song makes me feel like i'm inside a piano. like i'm a mouse that found its way inside one day and made it my home. i'd look forward to the time of day when the walls mysteriously rumble and i get to feel the harmonies in my bones :)
This is beautiful, little mouse

Love continues to be the answer.
Stay safe.
beautiful song. happy aphex twin day from 2021 guys
It is a hot afternoon for me this April 14th. My window is open and the birds are chirping, it has been a very calming day.
I wonder what happened in Aphex' life on Avril 14th that he decided to dedicate this track to that day
Wow.. That's really sad, I can't imagine how Aphex must have felt, but it's great to see that one of his most celebrated songs is a memorial song to his brother.

ShabazZiii Bam Avril is not a month.
+oRpHan MuRpHy "Avril" is French for "April".
anyways avril 14th sounds like a date
My sister was born on April 14th
This song reminds me of the day my son was born, what an incredible joyous moment
Happy April 14th guys! I recently moved into my first own apartment and came back home today for my dad’s birthday + for mine and my twin sister’s on the 19th. I opened the window of what used to be my room, enjoyed the warm breeze and listened to this song multiple times. I miss my best friend a lot. It’s my fault that we aren’t in contact anymore, but it will get better. It has to!! Stay safe everyone xxx
Avril 14th again. It never stops.
It's that time of the year, happy Avril 14th everybody. Please stay safe.
you too
Im here again, like every year, happy Avril 14th
Hello stranger, happy avril 14th! Hope you are enjoying yourself
It is that day again '21!
this makes me think of all the happiest memories that are now gone, just for me to remember, since everything just went away. i feel as though i can see everything that has passed with this person, just flashing great memories that now don't have that same feeling.
Its like this hits harder every year, in the past I showed this to a person I deeply love or loved, idk. and we shared our thoughts about it, mostly related to memories and nostalgia, and by this time she has become a memory as well
Once again, we are gathered here. Happy 14th everyone
Best ending.

Avril 14th again. Love and joy to those who observe or celebrate.
Happy Avril 14th everyone, hope you're all fine!
A great day to all my fellow Aphex fans!
Happy Avril 14th guys. My grandma recently passed and right now my family and I are staying at her house just enjoying how nice her house is and the fact that we can use a dishwasher lmao. But yeah, it’s a beautiful day where I live so I’m probably gonna go for a walk or something like that. I hope you guys can do something also, and even if you can’t, just enjoy yourself and the day. Love you all ❤️
Sorry for your loss, and I hope this song will remind you to celebrate and cherish the life of who you had than what was lost💗
@@VANQUlSHED thanks man. recently getting into Aphex before and after my grandma died has really helped coping, especially the sweeter songs like this. Music just helps distract me in most cases and I’m glad there is music like this that we can really enjoy.
Last concert for my school’s jazz band of my senior year today. Both my solos sucked but I still got congratulations. Coming here reminds me how much I have left to grow and that I should accept the kindness of those around me, but I am still crushed by the realization that a period of my life that even know I start to look back on with rose tinted glasses is coming to a close
happy Avril 14th mom, I know that somewhere you are looking at me
I miss my dog.
P4ntless Ninja Hope you're okay mate
:( I miss my black lab. He was more loyal than any friend I've ever had, Human or animal.
P4ntless Ninja hahahaha, awww. This comment is adorable.
P4ntless Ninja Lovely stuff
P4ntless Ninja me too...
It's simply amazing what emotions a short song can bring out in you.
Have you ever wished you could do it all over again?
Be in your parents arms again as a baby and then live life with no worries and have all the friends you used to have and all the good times with family you haven't seen in years?
This song reminds me of a past I wish I could remember more vividly and how I am who I am today thanks to my family and friends.
Be proud of what you have become and who you always will be and to be thankful for the ones who helped guide you to be you.
Happy Avril 14th
If i remember correctly, this was used in The Four lions after they all blow themselves up. great film.
Relly?
That's it.... Been trying to remember
But why is everyone going on about there dog?
Yes they do keep harkening back to it after hearing this
Avril 14th is now finally here and the world still is a vastly different one from the avril 14th three years past, hopefully it will all be sorted out next avril 14th. Here's to hoping everyone!
Welcome to the “new normal.”
You will own nothing and be happy.
The first time you wake up after a tragic loss and actually feel like you might get through this. That’s what this song is.
I’m 19. I first listened to this song when I was 16. I was a junior in high school and trying to expand my music taste. I had a friend recommend Aphex Twin, so I decided to give it a shot. This was the first song I heard, and I remember the feeling it gave me, but I can’t describe it exactly. All I can say is that it did (and still does) calm me tremendously. I battle severe anxiety and depression, and whenever I’m about to have a panic attack I throw this song on to soothe me. I’m so happy that there are others who can find peace and joy through this song. To whoever is reading this, I hope you’re doing well! Remember that you’re loved and you matter.
Two days left before 14th of avril again. And it doesn't matter if this tune is from '92, '05 or even 2011. It always sounds like 'things are over now'... And as we look back on all these years that have passed, nothing else than some simple piano line is left ...
