Thank you. I really appreciate that experience of physical art, holding the album artwork in your hands, sitting back and listening to music. I'm glad it comes across!

@@joemathewscomposer4432 for future references, do you sell licenses or anything like that or how does your work go about if someone wanted to use it in their work.
this was exactly what i thought looking at this. i'm trying to learn rust now coming from python, and a text adventure based on this concept would be so great.
It’s currently 2AM and as of writing this. I’m at 4:24. This is just perfect for being outside alone. The cool weather lapping at your exposed skin, while the moon is out smiling and bathing you in its presence. To be able to relax in the chaos of the world, the world that is focused on work, is more precious then anything tangible. Your peace is more important than those around you. Never lose sight of it. Much love 💚, and thank you for many nights filled with rest.
It's 11:09 pm for me, just trying to remember good times before my friend group fell apart on Xbox but I started to better myself, I think I might use this on a walk later this week.
As I write this, it's 10:44 pm, it's a nice cool night. Calm, nothing going on, bout to sleep, to those that read this. Have a great night. Take care of yourself. And remember, the mind is a double edged sword, be careful not to point it at yourself.
As an avid S.T.A.L.K.E.R fan- and a Metro 2033 appreciator? Thank you so much. Has to be some of the best background tunes I've played. Real relaxing- keep at it man.
Man, this takes me back to so many camping trips. You have a very wonderful style of playing and choice of chord progressions. It's very wistful and sad, at times, bright and encouraging. Beautiful, beautiful compositions, sir.
when the night has come. 0:17 when the sun say goodbye. 0:20 i see you come to me.0:25 when the time become too fast. 0:32 when the last light we see. 0:36 i know you come with me.0:40 so stay in your way.0:49 so stay holding my hand.0:57 in this night until dawn,...1:05 before you decide leave me.1:13 Continue the music...
This hits hard honestly So calming If we lived in a post apocalyptic world it would relax people for sure Good job The picture is also beautiful, like it is just perfect for this
Thank you! Yes, I agree. I think the Post Apocalyptic setting appeals to so many, because it finally frees us from the noise, dullness and chaos of the modern world.
This video came up on my reccomended and I can not express how grateful I am for this masterpiece. The blend of the music with the cover truly is something. Listen to it when I go to sleep near every night.
My goodness, i am absolutely in love with this playlist. The fire cackle in the background is such an amazing touch! This playlist makes me want to pick my guitar back up and learn how to play.
I normally dont think about them and they get out of my mind but sometimes something or someone brings the everything in a chain and they all get on my mind like last night and i found this channel and listened to it. It was perfect
Wow, this is so well done. Thank you for putting this out here! Makes me want to put my electric guitar aside and start learning how to """simply""" strum chords in such a lovely way as you do. I wish you all the best
This is a piece of art and truly allows one to think about anything and lets the mind flow of juices. Thank you sir for these great songs for it has helped me as writer write some incredible poems I appreciate your videos a lot keep up the good work 🫶
would recommend playing at least one stalker game if you feel like picking one up. whether it be Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Pripyat, Clear Sky, or even Anomaly and/or one of its many modpacks if you want a free, more polished experience. they have a very unique atmosphere, that, at least to my knowledge, hasn't been replicated by any other game. mostly thanks to the game's A-Life system, which makes events happen even when you aren't in a location. they all feel very.. alive compared to other post-apocalypse games. they're also very difficult games, but a lot of what makes it fun is seeing the progress you make in the world.
The world has ended, and so have your problems and anxiety. Now you feel truly free. Many difficulties are coming in this devastated world, but you feel adventurous enough to face them all. And if you fail, for the first time, you will accept it with a calm heart. It's finally over, you breathe like you never have before.
biased personal rec, for 150ish bucks you can get a baritone ukulele with 4 strings in DGBE tuning (just like a guitar).. its small, its light, and you can work on chord forms and actually playing without all the extra faff. to eventually play a 6 string guitar you'd simply play the extra two top strings with the rest of the chords you already know. 🤗
Man that sounds like a real good idea, now I already have a 6 string though had it for a long time and really struggling to get my head around playing it XD
@@MariaIsabellaZNN it lacks the low end of course but thats also the most difficult part especially if someone has smaller hands, you have to get all the way ..up? there with enough pressure to not buzz the thickest strings, its not conducive to enjoyable learning.
Makes me regret losing my guitar handed down to me by my grandfather, it wasn’t necessarily my fault but I still regret it. If I still had it I’d try and learn.
I just wanted to thank you. I've been working on a project, and I was suffering from very bad case of HDAS (Highly Distracted Adult Syndrome) I happened upon your playlist and all of a sudden, I was cured! Great vibes!
This really does create vibes from my future fantasy post-apocalyptic book... Thank you for this album of feeling alone, lost and forgotten... This really inspires me and helps me progress further with writing!
Best study music I've heard to date, absolutely brilliant! but also not distracting at all. My surround sound speakers love this mix too! much love from Australia 🤠
I instantly got chills when I first listened to this. Reminds me of finding music as a youngster, thank you for allowing me to rediscover that feeling here. keep it up :)
A lot of this stuff sounds heaps similar to the stuff I was jamming a while ago. Super chilled melancholy vibes, I feel really connected to it. Thanks for this, I love it.
Finishing off the sequel in my zompoc series and am writing a camofire scene set in the safezone. This is the perfect soundtrack. Thank you so much! 🤙🏾
I use your ambient mixes like this as some of the background ambience for a post-post apocalyptic ttrpg I run. Its kinda become one of the soundscapes associated with it.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, The star has faded in the sky. Night hides our fears so deep, But we are still on the rise. By the fire we sat in silence, Until the dawn embraced the day. Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, But know, summer's on its way. Our path lies in the misty air, The road calls us ahead. Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, Someone there will find us, led. We knew the taste of freedom's flight, And the wind was our guide. Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, We'll meet again, side by side. Remember these nights so clear, Remember this light so bright. Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, Forward, all is within our sight. Through storms we'll stand strong and true, Through fire, we'll pass through. Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, Destiny won't catch us, it's true.
As a fan of Metro 2033 series and a general listener to this kind of music this is simply beautiful, best songs i ever heard, 5:36 song is my favorite.
Вечер, уже начинает проявляться закат. Выходишь на старый, пыльный советский балкон брошенной когда то давно многоэтажки. Скидываешь с плеча Винторез, садишься на стул что стоит в кухне этой старой квартиры. Неторопливо тянешься в подсумок за пачкой, достаёшь сижку и легким, нежным касанием подносишь к губам. Секунда раздумий, "а нужно ли мне это?" и тут же чиркая старой бензиновой зажигалкой поджигаешь сижку. Тянешь глоток воздуха, и вот, дым уже у тебя во рту, а следом и в легких. Выдыхаешь, поглядывая на безжизненные дома, в которых уже никогда не будет жизни. Смотришь в даль, и видишь ее, заветную цель-саркофаг. Делаешь тягу снова, и вновь выдыхаешь. Поглядывая в даль, вспоминаешь свои первые беззаботные 10 лет жизни, после которых ты уже повзрослел, навсегда. Вспоминаешь как когда то давно общался с родителями, с компанией друзей, родственников. Как после уроков сразу бежал гулять, а потом упрашивал маму чтобы раззрешила еще пару минут погулять, погонять мяч. Вспоминаешь как впервые прогулялся по заброшке в соседнем дворе, как впервые выстрелил из старого дедовского ружья. Как впервые приехал в другой город, как впервые влюбился, как впервые понял что теперь тебе уже давно не 10, а 17...понимаешь что ты уже взрослый. Слишком. А дальше все как в тумане... Первая ночь в армейской казарме, те самые учения после которых страдала вся рота. Потом вспоминаешь свой первый поцелуй..... Вспоминаешь все, до мелочей. А потом резко хватаешься за свою руку, которая уже тянеться к второй сигарете... Убираешь сигареты обратно в подсумок, по дальше, а то кончаться так. Неторопливо встаешь, осматриваешься. И первая мысль в голове "может, еще немного посижу?" тебя уже будто бы тянет за еще одной сигаретой. Но нет, тебе уже не до этого. Немного опираешься на старый пыльный балкон, осматривая город пустым взглядом... 50 тысяч человек, а теперь город призраков. Трагический 1986 год все изменил здесь. Единственный на всю страну город, где осталось все нетронутым, никем и ничем кроме времени. Понимаешь, как быстро жизнь идет... Ловишь себя на мысли "а сколько лет уже прошло?" и тут же вспоминаешь как 6 месяцев назад отмечал свои 37. Берешь за ствол Винторез, надеваешь через плечо сначала рюкзак, следом и ремень. Последний раз всматриваешься в даль..... Это был твой последний день вылазки в зоне. Завтра кончается контракт, и ты, один из единиц сталкеров что почетно отслужили свои 2 года в зоне будешь возвращаться домой, к своей родной жене, к мирной жизни, без перестрелок и смертей. Улыбаешься, и со спокойной душой спускаешься вниз по старой пыльной лестнице... И вот она, Припять. В последний раз в своей жизни провожаешь взглядом этот мертвый город, и идешь обратно в лагерь, а на утро на базу с группой и домой.
J'ai lu le tout, et.... Osti de bon travail. Je suis Québécois, donc je n'ai pas vraiment la moindre idée de ce qui se passait là-bas, mais.... Merci de partager, mon ami.

Beautiful
Awesome video, literally listened to 100 times, what are the names of these songs your playing, I wanna know? For ex. My brothers?
So good man thanks heaps for this
wish I could just be outside there chilling while you play, good vibes
Where Can WE found the tab for the first song plz ?
The art in the screen covers that missing gap we've lost in digital music. That feeling of listening an new album and looking into the album cover.
Thank you. I really appreciate that experience of physical art, holding the album artwork in your hands, sitting back and listening to music. I'm glad it comes across!
It's still very common
When I was a boy in the 80s I was fascinated with my parents rock albums from the 70s, id listen to them all and stare at the covers for hours.
And actually owning the copy, physically.
Depends on the genre. I still got a lot to look at on covers of as an example, death meal and core bands. Artist are crazy.
0:18 as i sit beside this lonely campfire
0:22 i find my thoughts a' turning to the lost
0:25 the flames could never warm my skin the way these memories do
0:30 my brothers... i still remember you
- unnamed survivor
This honestly is motivating me to create a post apocalyptic game. I haven’t felt motivated to develop in so long. This is great.
That's so cool man! I'm glad it was inspiring for you :)
@@joemathewscomposer4432 for future references, do you sell licenses or anything like that or how does your work go about if someone wanted to use it in their work.
this was exactly what i thought looking at this. i'm trying to learn rust now coming from python, and a text adventure based on this concept would be so great.
@@sambazeley5366 dude if you do this let me know and reply back with a link i would die to try it out man
man i would help you make the game hit me up
makes me wanna sit around a campfire with my pals in The Zone
Nothing better than sitting round the fire with the boys!
Melancholic solitude is always better with friends
Agreed! @@Unertl28

@@darkdestroyer6462Appreciate it my friend, needed to hear that.
Ive listened to this at least 8 times already. Its such good background noise for me, and it helps me decompress.
Awesome! I'm glad you like it and it helps you to unwind, I know how important that is!
Amazing collection and feels, I can actually feel the embers from the fireplace jumping up
Thank you man!
As an avid S.T.A.L.K.E.R fan- and a Metro 2033 appreciator? Thank you so much. Has to be some of the best background tunes I've played. Real relaxing- keep at it man.
Thank you man! That's very kind, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
05:35 - the best!!
Man brilliant music! Makes me feel like I’m in a zombie apocalypse game or something, so cool. Thanks for this
I'm sitting near campfire alone, this music is beautiful✨✨
Man, this takes me back to so many camping trips. You have a very wonderful style of playing and choice of chord progressions. It's very wistful and sad, at times, bright and encouraging. Beautiful, beautiful compositions, sir.
Thank you for the kind words Cody! Glad you enjoyed it :)
when the night has come. 0:17
when the sun say goodbye. 0:20
i see you come to me.0:25

Continue the music...
This hits hard honestly
So calming
If we lived in a post apocalyptic world it would relax people for sure
Good job
The picture is also beautiful, like it is just perfect for this
Thank you! Yes, I agree. I think the Post Apocalyptic setting appeals to so many, because it finally frees us from the noise, dullness and chaos of the modern world.
dude, this is one of my favorite playlists, I love your work!!
These are amazing, the long dark vibes im getting from My Brothers is immaculate keep up the good work man!
Thank you man! :)
Nothing like listening to this during a winter snow storm ahah
Absolutely incredible, especially the first part. Congratulations on making the best background music I've ever heard
That's quite the compliment! Thank you man, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing for studying and writing.
New suscriber!

Thank you for listening man! You should do it :)
22:52 saving for later
Currently 2:37 am, drinking tea in the dimly lit living room, listening to this, thinking about how cooked I am in life.
Things will get better
I normally dont think about them and they get out of my mind but sometimes something or someone brings the everything in a chain and they all get on my mind like last night and i found this channel and listened to it. It was perfect
You gotta cook a few eggs before you can make an omelette bro
Your guitar song is legendary, it makes ppl feel relaxed & mentally composed, you deserve to be subscribed. Thanks :)
Thank you Ezioh, that's very kind of you.
Wow, this is so well done. Thank you for putting this out here!
Makes me want to put my electric guitar aside and start learning how to """simply""" strum chords in such a lovely way as you do. I wish you all the best
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I can almost smell the smoke rising out of the fire as i listen along
very post-apocalyptic vibes
my favorite music to listen to while i create more of my homebrew dnd for my friends. I've worked on it for 3 years now. good job and thank you.
Thanks for the atmosphere. Well done!
Thank you! :)
I love this. Its the vibe of music i like to just listen to
Thank you Theatre Gal, glad you liked it :)
I've been drinking while listening to this... been hitting the right spots. Thank you.

Awesome, thanks for listening :)
Гарна музика, мені сподобалось; чудово робити домашню роботу під цей інструментальний супровід)🙂
Damn I’m only 20 minutes in and absolutely LOVING this man!
Thank you man! Glad you like it :)
As someone who never played STALKER, but has played Stay Out, I really enjoyed this.
would recommend playing at least one stalker game if you feel like picking one up. whether it be Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Pripyat, Clear Sky, or even Anomaly and/or one of its many modpacks if you want a free, more polished experience. they have a very unique atmosphere, that, at least to my knowledge, hasn't been replicated by any other game. mostly thanks to the game's A-Life system, which makes events happen even when you aren't in a location. they all feel very.. alive compared to other post-apocalypse games. they're also very difficult games, but a lot of what makes it fun is seeing the progress you make in the world.

Thanks for listening!
The world has ended, and so have your problems and anxiety.
Now you feel truly free.
Many difficulties are coming in this devastated world, but you feel adventurous enough to face them all.
And if you fail, for the first time, you will accept it with a calm heart.
It's finally over, you breathe like you never have before.
Like a nice and warm feeling inside the chest. This is truly relaxing, thanks for the upload dude
Glad you liked it man! Thank you :)
I should learn guitar now. Fast. For the times to come upon us.

Listening to this while playing DayZ is another experience.
I just wanted to thank you. I've been working on a project, and I was suffering from very bad case of HDAS (Highly Distracted Adult Syndrome) I happened upon your playlist and all of a sudden, I was cured! Great vibes!
Hahah thank you! I know that feeling...
Dang, they really come up with syndromes for everything these days.
@@faegrace7313 LOL. actually I made that up to confound my friends.
@@faegrace7313fr I got HAS helldiver addiction syndrome, can’t stop playing helldivers 2 and I think about it all the time, guess it’s a syndrome now.

Best study music I've heard to date, absolutely brilliant! but also not distracting at all.
My surround sound speakers love this mix too! much love from Australia 🤠
Thank you for listening :) Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Wolfman!
Great music for play at the end of next year
One hour in. And this hits man!
This gonna help me so much in writing my postapocalyptic book. Thank you
I'd love to read it
fantastic! i can't wait to listen to this while being irradiated 😍
nah bro, this is beautifull, i´m going to study with this so many times ❤
At 5:35 is my favorite part ngl
I instantly got chills when I first listened to this. Reminds me of finding music as a youngster, thank you for allowing me to rediscover that feeling here. keep it up :)

It's really nice to sleep
Thank you!
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
The star has faded in the sky.
Night hides our fears so deep,
But we are still on the rise.
By the fire we sat in silence,
Until the dawn embraced the day.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
But know, summer's on its way.
Our path lies in the misty air,
The road calls us ahead.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
Someone there will find us, led.
We knew the taste of freedom's flight,
And the wind was our guide.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
We'll meet again, side by side.
Remember these nights so clear,
Remember this light so bright.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
Forward, all is within our sight.
Through storms we'll stand strong and true,
Through fire, we'll pass through.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye,
Destiny won't catch us, it's true.
I hope you are alright.
Remember:
It's not going to be better, but you have to endure it.
amazing
ah yes peace, this is the kind of music I one day wish to play sitting around a campfire with friends
this playlist made me think that i kinda feel like im missing the loneliness
Added my apocalypse playlist

Thanks man!
Bro i love this to play a project zomboid run with friends

Such is life in the Zone
Indeed!
you have come this far surviver have a rest and relax i know its hard but what option we got "sits down and stares at the fire"
As a fan of Metro 2033 series and a general listener to this kind of music this is simply beautiful, best songs i ever heard, 5:36 song is my favorite.
Project zomboid vibes :
I spread democracy in project zomboid, so this doesn’t quite fit for me, this music is like for in between spreading democracy.
same, I wish more zombie stuff fits this vibe.
oh my.. did you make these guitar ambience on your own? wonderful! :)
Yes, thank you :)
👍

32:16 best part ...

Вечер, уже начинает проявляться закат. Выходишь на старый, пыльный советский балкон брошенной когда то давно многоэтажки.
