I remember one of the first times I heard this was during a school trip and we were driving through the wooded countryside and blabbering away like school kids do, then this came on the radio and everyone just fell silent for those few minutes. Afterwards there was a sort of collective sigh and someone said "ahh that was nice" then we all went back to chatting away like normal. It was just such a lovely little peaceful bubble in time within what was otherwise such a ruckus that for some reason is etched into my memory.
Listening to this while it's raining lightly outside with a cup of hot peppermint tea, a warm blanket, fuzzy socks, and a good book makes me feel quite heavenly.
+James Collins Im a fans of Peacock Effect cuz comment like this and I do not recommend Wallflower. maybe every song, its makes me feel lost and gonna suicide or something.
Delfina Hanna the ability to read while listening to music is among one of the rarest multi-tasking related skills known to man. I'm impressed! You're an outlier in a sea of sheep my friend.
These videos make me so sentimental about living. Like if we could somehow watch this after death, we'd get emotional from remembering the amazing privilege we had of experiencing life as beings in this world.
I lost my mother 3 months ago from colon cancer... This song is the only thing that reminds me of her. This song and a picture of her is all that remains of her.
`eh that's just a lovely tune ... Lyrics: "Atlas Hands" Take me to the docks, there's a ship without a name there And it is sailing to the middle of the sea The water there is deeper than anything you've ever seen Jump right in and swim until you're free I will remember your face 'Cause I am still in love with that place But when the stars are the only things we share Will you be there? Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting For that cold long promise to appear People in the churches started singing above their hands They say, "My God is a good God and He cares" I will remember your face 'Cause I am still in love with that place When the stars are the only things we share Will you be there? I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned
This makes me wonder about my future. Will I have a husband, will I be healthy, will I be happy? What would happen to my parents? Where would I go? How would I grieve? This is a deep song; not many things make me feel this way.
4 years have passed since you typed this out & your wonders fill my mind, as well. I hope you have found answers, that you're at peace & that all is well. 🖤
5 years. I’m hoping that beautiful baby in your profile pic is yours. That you’ve found a partner. That you are happy and in love and safe. Keep going Emily!
This makes me wanna think about life's mysteries, the books I've read, imagining a place with a couple sitting on a bench on autumn looking over a lake...This reminds me of the earth, I wanna protect it. This makes me wanna live life, take lots of photos and sceneries of this beautiful earth. I want a girl who can understand all of this. I want to cry. Edit 9/21: Still love this song. Just started as a freshie in uni! Missing my teenage days where I'd sneak the car out with my friends and watch the far sunset on the mountains. Loving life rn.
i think this song is the saddest song i know and at the same time full of hope. I don't really know how to explain this but anyways i really like that feeling
A dear friend who's no longer with us showed me this song back in high school. It's taken a very special place in my life now, I don't listen to it often but when I do, it instantly floods me with memories. On a kind of "'meta" side-note, what's also nostalgic about this upload is looking at the number of video plays and knowing that some of those plays are from her and I from years ago!
"If in your gardens, when I die, when I die, a flower springs, if in a cloud you see a star, you see a star that nobody saw, and there comes a time when you whisper, I whisper to you with a sweet voice, opening the peak on your lips, that at one time I told you that, that cloudscape and the one that has it, and that star and that night, my life transformed, that has transformed the law of God ". Salvador Díaz Mirón.
They're not. They're just not mainstream, and I'm glad for it. Being hidden makes them even more special and beautiful. I'm sure people whose soul can connect with songs like this, will find them either way or another.
I also think that it means people can't get their hands on this beautiful music and corrupt it to be like all the mainstream songs and their same-ol-same old stuff that all sounds very similar because they are following trends/ for money only? ^_^
Whoever is reading this, I hope that youre doing fine and if not I want to let you know that everything is going to be okay even if it does not feel like it at all. Everything will fall into place, there will be a time where you won't suffer. Say it out loud. Much love
@@maryam8538 That sounds great & all, but life isn't a movie. Not everyone gets a happy ending to their story. Some people are cursed & get shit on their entire lives. I haven't given up & I've made tons of positive changes over the last few years... yet I'm feeling more miserable & jaded than ever. The whole positivity thing is a B.S. form of confirmation bias...nobody cares(or remembers) the people who did everything right & still had a shitty miserable existence.
@@maryam8538 I genuinely appreciate the time/energy & thought you've put into your comments. And heck, these are all things I'd tell a friend(if I had any) or family member in distress...however, I've obviously heard all this before & the unfortunate *reality* is that none of it is true. I don't have value, god def doesn't love me, there is no bigger plan, and everything isn't going to be OK. I suffer everyday physically, mentally, & emotionally by myself. People that are normal enough just can't understand or fathom there are people as worthless as me. I'd have already ended it all...except that I believe suicide is a selfish, narcissistic, & cowardly act. With total respect towards you, I just know you cannot understand people like me. Sorry for the negativity but this is the reality I actually live in. 😔

Don't have a heart-warming story, or any kind of nostalgic memory, but I will say, this song, coupled with a nice warm fire and a clear sky full of stars...pretty nice.
5 years ago I fell in love with this song, I still come back to it in times of nostalgia or if I'm feeling cathartic. It is one of the best songs I've ever had the privilege of listening to. Incredibly evocative and poignant...
Me and my friend found this mouse on the street the other day, we named him JJ today he past away and while listening to this song i was literally crying on the ground.. RIP JJ 23-06-2014
so my birthday is coming and we are quarantined, i wish so hard go to places and theres some days that i feel really depressed. this song gives me a sense of hope, im so grateful
I was at a Starbucks lounge area waiting for a friend when I heard this song for the first time on the background speakers and I was just in trance listening to this and thinking back about my life. It was a kind of serene and blissful moment like time slowed down for me
My son Atlas was stillborn at 22 weeks in April. Never knew this song existed until my wife stumbled upon it. It perfectly represents the emotions of our experience and I think is a great song for us to remember him by :)
This song incites a deep serenity that is inner peace. I am content, and I want for nothing but this music at this moment in my existence. Thank you chaotic chance for helping me happen upon this song=)
this song just holds so many emotions for me. I listen to this song when I'm sad, when I'm happy, I write the lyrics when I'm anxious to get my mind of things. This song just makes me want to cry and I can't tell if it's because I'm happy of if it's because i'm sad. Someday I hope to have the first lyrics tattooed on me because this song brings me back down to earth
I'm so glad after over 2 years I can listen to this song again! it became mine and my last boyfriends 'song'. He moved away to University, so when ever we were apart, we could look at the sky and know we shared the same stars. when we broke up, after 3 years, I could no longer listen to it. even the first note had me crying. But I can listen to it, and only hear the beautiful song again, and this makes me so happy. I genuinely missed this song!!
Why would I want to do that? He cheated? I'm better now then u ever was with him! Besides, we broke up nearly 3 years ago now. But thanks for your comment anyway.
Really considering to make a music festival, just so that I could hire artists like Benjamin, and not artists like the ones that for some reason always is played on the radio. This is music.
Sometimes I feel great, I’ll be happy for a couple of weeks. And then bam, I feel so sad. I feel lost and alone, like there’s no one to turn to. I haven’t cut in a while, and I’m proud of myself. Music like this helps me to let all that heaviness away before I become happy again.
I imagine someone losing that one person they love and that it constantly kills them on the inside. This song plays when they're sitting in a meadow, near an old tree, and they know that the person they love is in a better place now, and that they have to let them go and live happily, just for them. idk man this song hits me so hard
I will remember your face, because I am still in live with that place... I love you Janelle, and even though the stars are the only thing we share right now, I have a plan, have an Atlas in my hands... we will find our way back to one another. With all my heart and soul -Mark-
This song came into my life When I first moved away from home to the east coast, it played again on the plane Ride to the prairies when i decided to pack my life up and go, Today my boyfriend and I decided to move to Vancouver and this song randomly played and I couldn't help but to start crying from joy. It just fitted perfectly with the moment.
For me there are some songs that u can't just listening too often, these kinds of songs must be enjoyed at the most, in special moments... For sure this is one of those songs, and it always remind me of life, and the beloved ones that are no longer here with us
Benjamin is one of those musicians you temporally completely forgot about, and when you get to listen to him again it feels incredibly good, like coming home without having left ♡
the other day i walked home from a party at 3 am, it was pouring but stil warm, i took off my shoes and walked home barefoot with this song in my ears. i felt so at peace
Are you even going to have a first son?And if you do, do you really want him to bear the weight of the whole world on his shoulders, as did his namesake? People need to think harder about they names they give others...It's important.
dear person i’ve always loved, i still remember your face . you make me whole. without you, i feel like a ship wreck. sad, forgotten, broken. with you, i feel like the beach. flowing, growing, everchanging, healing, mesmerized. ever since i saw you i’ve gotten butterflies. you’ve been the thing i’ve been missing my whole life. you’re my other half. you may not be with me anymore, but i’m still in love with that place. will you be there with me? am i really your everything? because your my everything. you always will be. the times without you i felt broken and shattered. i feel wiser because of the lessons you’ve taught me i couldn’t have asked for more. from, me. i wish you could see this
the first time I heard this song, I was on a roadtrip with my daughter (She invited me as a gift at the end of her schooling) far from home, we were driving tru the west coast from The Canadian Rockies (Alberta) down to California and back to Montréal...needless to say I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. and always will be a reminder of the incredible time we had one on one....It went very well and absolutely loved it. people were great all along the way. YES, nice american folks we met. great humans all over!
At my old summer camp, we'd have reflection time right before we all went to sleep. This song is the sole song I remember from it, now whenever I just need to think, this is what I go right to.
Wa this appeared on my feed and brought back memories. First heard this song in a record store in Taipei. Miss those days when we get to "browse" and listen to music on headphones in the record store and discovering great music. Thank you for the good music!
This song... this video... this work of art. It's hard to describe the emotions this wonderful piece of art wells up within me. But then that's what good art does. Leaves us with as many questions as answers, as much joy as sorrow, as much yearning as contentment. I experience all this.... every... single... time I watch this. The ending in which we see he does not go with the rest of the family - and those eyes staring full back at him, still on the shore... just gets me every time. Does anyone know who filmed this, who the people are in the video, who came up with the concept (I'm guessing BFL, but was it alone or in collaboration)?
All you young hearts wait until you are 61 and look at your life. I was blessed to live thru the 80's & all the magic-- legal ecstacy and the invasion of dance music with meaningful lyrics but still at 61 all you think about are all those you've lost. I lost several friends to AIDS, THE WHOLE WORLD WAS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER. But now when you are quiet with this song, all you remember are all the faces you miss...
I know it sounds ridiculous, nobody likes rats, but when my baby boy was passing from cancer, nothing seemed to make him feel better but this song. It will always be so important to me. 🥲 watching him suffer was the worst, no pain meds helped, but this song would have him peaceful and sleeping calmly in my arms every single time. RIP Floki. You were the goodest boy. 😔
saw this guy today in LA while I am traveling on winter break and it was a great night. he sang this song as a last bonus (which is my favorite). love the unplugged performances. love the show.
in my opinion, it doesn't matter what or who 'brought' us here, as long as we are showing love and support for this great artist and his music i think thats enough.
i feel like having a cute like make out session with this song in the middle of a meadow. A small sweet passionate make out session than just rest for a bit on each others foreheads and it wont be awkward at all because of how much we love each other.
***** It is not gay! People should be able to express how a song makes them feel without being called names or frowned upon! Everyone has their own imagination and their own opinions in life and if you can't even respect that then what can you respect?
I remember one of the first times I heard this was during a school trip and we were driving through the wooded countryside and blabbering away like school kids do, then this came on the radio and everyone just fell silent for those few minutes. Afterwards there was a sort of collective sigh and someone said "ahh that was nice" then we all went back to chatting away like normal.

Lyrics: "Atlas Hands"
Take me to the docks, there's a ship without a name there
And it is sailing to the middle of the sea
The water there is deeper than anything you've ever seen
Jump right in and swim until you're free
I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
But when the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting
For that cold long promise to appear
People in the churches started singing above their hands
They say, "My God is a good God and He cares"
I will remember your face
'Cause I am still in love with that place
When the stars are the only things we share
Will you be there?
I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands
I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned
I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands
I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned
This thing totally rocks.I couldnt find a better song.Keep up the good work B.F.
Hope you will shine bright.

What now ???
My childhood was nothing like this and yet I feel a strange attached nostalgia watching this....
This makes me wonder about my future. Will I have a husband, will I be healthy, will I be happy? What would happen to my parents? Where would I go? How would I grieve? This is a deep song; not many things make me feel this way.

So hows life after 5 years
You should play life is strange game
This song was played in my friends bed before he died of cancer rest in peace brother!
I'm sorry for you'r lost, He is in a better place
He's okay, dont worry for him, He will never forget you, never.
He is at peace.
This makes me wanna think about life's mysteries, the books I've read, imagining a place with a couple sitting on a bench on autumn looking over a lake...This reminds me of the earth, I wanna protect it. This makes me wanna live life, take lots of photos and sceneries of this beautiful earth. I want a girl who can understand all of this. I want to cry.
Edit 9/21: Still love this song. Just started as a freshie in uni! Missing my teenage days where I'd sneak the car out with my friends and watch the far sunset on the mountains. Loving life rn.
Thanks for writing this. It's beautiful.
Good luck! We all have plans for the future which hopefully get true =)
this is how i feel. years after this song is published, i'm finally listening to it. making my friend's proposal video with this song :)
So do it. :)
i think this song is the saddest song i know and at the same time full of hope. I don't really know how to explain this but anyways i really like that feeling
Les licornes à paillettes Exactly.
It is a very strange sad, yet full of hope and divinity. It's amazing how music can speak to the soul on another level of meaning, truly magnificent
I miss my mom.
Your comment made me cry so much
She is looking from the sky in pride of you smiling how her little darling is living her life

@Niki Young omggg me tooo 😂😂
zillow for me
Me too
9-1-1 got home here. And I’m so damn happy that it did. 🥺
The beginning sounds like the beginning of I'll Follow You into the Dark
This song came into my life When I first moved away from home to the east coast, it played again on the plane Ride to the prairies when i decided to pack my life up and go, Today my boyfriend and I decided to move to Vancouver and this song randomly played and I couldn't help but to start crying from joy. It just fitted perfectly with the moment.
Ur life's a movie, no doubt lmao
For me there are some songs that u can't just listening too often, these kinds of songs must be enjoyed at the most, in special moments... For sure this is one of those songs, and it always remind me of life, and the beloved ones that are no longer here with us
Just redound this song after about 6 years trying to find it again. Ughhh the tears rn something about this kind of music triggers me…
Benjamin is one of those musicians you temporally completely forgot about, and when you get to listen to him again it feels incredibly good, like coming home without having left ♡
the other day i walked home from a party at 3 am, it was pouring but stil warm, i took off my shoes and walked home barefoot with this song in my ears. i felt so at peace
this is such a brilliant song, makes me feel all cosy and makes me want to hug everything
Make the most out of your life guys, you owe to your-selves x
Hearing this song for the first time and a single tear just rolled down my face.
I want to name my first son Atlas, after this song. It is just so powerful.
I love that for a name
or name him Sandstorm xDDDDDDDDD sorry :D
lol..yeah...because they invented the name Atlas.
+tremcat that's not what he's saying.
Are you even going to have a first son?And if you do, do you really want him to bear the weight of the whole world on his shoulders, as did his namesake? People need to think harder about they names they give others...It's important.
i cant get enough of this song, its so beautiful :)
dear person i’ve always loved,
i still remember your face . you make me whole. without you, i feel like a ship wreck. sad, forgotten, broken. with you, i feel like the beach. flowing, growing, everchanging, healing, mesmerized. ever since i saw you i’ve gotten butterflies. you’ve been the thing i’ve been missing my whole life. you’re my other half. you may not be with me anymore, but i’m still in love with that place. will you be there with me? am i really your everything? because your my everything. you always will be. the times without you i felt broken and shattered. i feel wiser because of the lessons you’ve taught me i couldn’t have asked for more.
from,
me.
i wish you could see this
the first time I heard this song, I was on a roadtrip with my daughter (She invited me as a gift at the end of her schooling) far from home, we were driving tru the west coast from The Canadian Rockies (Alberta) down to California and back to Montréal...needless to say I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. and always will be a reminder of the incredible time we had one on one....It went very well and absolutely loved it. people were great all along the way. YES, nice american folks we met. great humans all over!
My God is a good God, and He cares ♡
At my old summer camp, we'd have reflection time right before we all went to sleep. This song is the sole song I remember from it, now whenever I just need to think, this is what I go right to.
Does this remind anyone else of 'Life is strange'? Or is it just me?
+Matthew33 Omg, yes
+Death is my Only Salvation Haha! I always listen to this after each episode is out!
+Matthew33 listen to walking the line by sam moss
+Matthew33 Yes! If they played this at the end of the last episode or in the credits somewhere that would be absolutely incredible
+Matthew33 YEEEES IT DOES! I thought I was the only one who thought that lol
I just stumbled upon this song through Spotify and WOW!!! Beautifully done! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album!
Everyone is all like, "I'm here because of Catfish" and I'm over here like, "Heard this on Grey's Anatomy!!" Yay Grey's!!!
This song is perfect.
I love this video and song !
Wa this appeared on my feed and brought back memories. First heard this song in a record store in Taipei. Miss those days when we get to "browse" and listen to music on headphones in the record store and discovering great music.
Thank you for the good music!
The start proper sounds like death cab for cutie // I will follow you into the dark, doesn't it??
I always thought the same. He reminds me of Ben Gibbard with his style.
And satellite heart
There's inspiration, and then there's plagiarism. The Joe Satriani/Coldplay incident was less obvious than this.
im obsessed with this song im playing it nonstop...
This song... this video... this work of art. It's hard to describe the emotions this wonderful piece of art wells up within me. But then that's what good art does. Leaves us with as many questions as answers, as much joy as sorrow, as much yearning as contentment. I experience all this.... every... single... time I watch this. The ending in which we see he does not go with the rest of the family - and those eyes staring full back at him, still on the shore... just gets me every time.
Does anyone know who filmed this, who the people are in the video, who came up with the concept (I'm guessing BFL, but was it alone or in collaboration)?
All you young hearts wait until you are 61 and look at your life. I was blessed to live thru the 80's & all the magic-- legal ecstacy and the invasion of dance music with meaningful lyrics but still at 61 all you think about are all those you've lost. I lost several friends to AIDS, THE WHOLE WORLD WAS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER. But now when you are quiet with this song, all you remember are all the faces you miss...
Thank you so much, Zillow!
this song is soooooooo good. I just HAD to comment on it
Who is come here after listening pooja hedge interview
✋️
Forever one of my favorites! Really ignites the wanderlust. Bravo!
I know it sounds ridiculous, nobody likes rats, but when my baby boy was passing from cancer, nothing seemed to make him feel better but this song. It will always be so important to me. 🥲 watching him suffer was the worst, no pain meds helped, but this song would have him peaceful and sleeping calmly in my arms every single time. RIP Floki. You were the goodest boy. 😔
saw this guy today in LA while I am traveling on winter break and it was a great night. he sang this song as a last bonus (which is my favorite). love the unplugged performances. love the show.
This song made me notice that i need to accept people.. and be myself.
wish u have being yourself with so much happiness all this 5 years
How are you doing?
i've just heard this song today, and i can't get enough!
This is too darn short
Helena brought me here.... its amazing how u can know someone without really knowing them.. beautifull souls go to beautifull places.
I dunno why, but this feels like a sequel to The Devil's Tears by Angus and Julia Stone. Loving it!
i accidentaly listen to your songs only today..from this moment i think i will never be anymore without them. Thank you..
it's my birthday on Monday and I'm just wondering about all the things i could be doing but i can't. all the places i could go but i can't.
Same here my bday's tomorrow
maybe you cannot do it right now...but don't lose hope!
I feel you
Made me find once again my inner peaceful feeling. Thanks!
I forgot how amazing this song was until I saw the Zillow commercial.
lc11214 Me too I forgot it's existence. When I say the commercial this popped into my mind : Atlas Hands by Benjamin Franklin Leftwich
in my opinion, it doesn't matter what or who 'brought' us here, as long as we are showing love and support for this great artist and his music i think thats enough.
Catfish always has great music
this song is so existing and i can't stop listenning this
i feel like having a cute like make out session with this song in the middle of a meadow. A small sweet passionate make out session than just rest for a bit on each others foreheads and it wont be awkward at all because of how much we love each other.
that was probably the most accurate description of this song ever. just change the description to that.
***** Aww, thanks. =)
I'm glad you're so passionate about gay love. =P
***** lmao right? especially what emo kid commented
***** It is not gay! People should be able to express how a song makes them feel without being called names or frowned upon! Everyone has their own imagination and their own opinions in life and if you can't even respect that then what can you respect?
+Odd Future almost as gay as you are dumb? You read comments not listen to them...
