I used to play this song on repeat walking through the halls of my high school and played it during math class when I didn't want to talk to anyone. Now I'm listening to it while my son's sleeping. Time goes by so fast
I feel so comforted every time I see comments on Explosions in the Sky videos. It reminds me that there ARE people like me in the world. Hundreds in fact, that understand this music. One of the most comforting things.
The most beautiful song I've ever heard. I fall asleep to this song every night. The emotions in this song are more strong than any combination of lyrics you could listen to. It is like a story. First bliss, then uncertainty, doubt, questioning, panic, madness, then at the end back to the bliss that once was.
Whenever I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, depressed, sad, stressed, lost, or alone, I listen to this song. It puts the world into perspective for me and I remember what really matters:)
The first part of this song makes feel full of life, then it goes into a ghostly sound, the feeling of death, but not in a bad way, more of a nostalgic feeling, looking back on the beautiful life you lived.
Explosions in the Sky may not create the most intricate compositions of the post-rock genre like Mono, or Godspeed, but they certainly breathe the most life. Listening to Explosions in the Sky, you know everything is going to be okay.
the fact that the movie This Means War featured this song and led all these people to discover Explosions is pretty awesome. I absolutely love this song and I was a little bit too excited when I heard it in the movie.
Explosions In The Sky make everyday just a little bit better, sometime's they're all that gets you through. No other artist or type of music has or ever will speak to me like them. I don't know what I'd do without them now.
this song is lovely, calming, and beautiful. i always get that super good feeling when i listen to it, so i just sit and picture myself with nature just laying there, and taking in the beauty. it feels great, and the experience is enhanced with this song. (:
love this band and the music just connects everything. like when looking at the milky way for the first time and remembering where home really is ...breathtaking.
@FloatingXDonut The thing is... Inspirational speeches are for people with no imagination, or for people who need a boost in a dark time. However, Explosions in the Sky is made to envoke some deep feelings, create thought out of nothing, make you think of everything. It's like this band allows you to shut out everything around you, and just let you be alone with your thoughts and emotions for as long as the song is blaring. I'm so grateful for this band, and all it's done for me.
@KoEDeath i feel like everyone who actually gives this band a chance will fall in love. glad to know i'm not the only one who truly feels connected to their music.
it makes me sad cos im remembering the love of my life.. but its such a great song.. haha i smile while i tear.. one of the most beautiful feelings in the universe..
Earlier I drove with the bus back home and listened to this song. At 6:50 my mind just blew away. I simply couldn't handle this musical explosion. I missed my bus station and had to walk a pretty long way back home. But damn, it was so worth it o.o
ho scoperto gli Explosions da poco piu' di 4-5 mesi,mi sono piaciuti subito e,adesso che sto' attraversando un momento difficile riguardante la mia vita sentimentale non riesco piu' a farne a meno,insieme ai god is an astronaut sono gli unici che mi fanno andare avanti ogni giorno...
Explosions in the Sky has been a huge influence in our music writing. If you could take a moment by clicking on our username to listen to our music we would appreciate it greatly and you likely won't regret it.
Ever went outside, and was all like 60-75 degrees outside and say in your mind, "It's a beautiful day to go outside!" And when you walk in a forest, you better put this song or First breath after coma on in the MP3 while you wear your head phones. Recommended by me, if you want to talk a walk outside or take stress out of you.
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight To me did seem Appareled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream. It is not now as it hath been of yore;- Turn wheresoever I may, By night or day, The things which I have seen I now can see no more. The rainbow comes and goes, And lovely is the rose; The moon doth with delight Look round her when the heavens are bare; Waters on a starry night Are beautiful and fair; The sunshine is a glorious birth;
as i'm deciding what to do for college, i think of the girl i was so close to love. and i think of all the moments together and envision this song as the moments replay hoping that she feels the same for me..a bittersweet melody
And here I was, thinking nothing could equal, or even approach the mad respect and adulation I have for God Is An Astronaut. Listening to this, I am ecstatically surprised. To iTunes!!
Life comes at you fast. One day, the whole god-damned world sparkles like a trio of bindis on your forehead. The next, you're jaded and your only solace is a vague nostalgic sense of how glorious things once were.
@thetruefanatic1 True that, i saw the movie last week, and it gave me a strange kind of satisfactory to know that I'm the only dude who knows the title of this song & from what band it's from.
@person661982 you have to understand that yes, i'm all for redistributing their music, just because i want others to hear what do, and see passed just instruments combing with one another, and creating a sound. i see explosions as much more than that. with that being said, i by no means am making any money of of their music, and feel no guilt for putting it out there for thousands of others to hear. if you guys want to support them, by all means do it.
Not a complaint or anything, this is truly an amazing song, but if the first 2 minutes and 45 seconds were to loop for about 10 minutes, I'd be in heaven.
I love this song so much..There's such a great atmosphere in it, that always calms me down... EITS are so amazing, they never fail to touch me with their wonderful music...I love them... btw..I don't want you to see this as a spam, but I just think good music needs to be shared.. I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia". If you've got enough time, listen to their songs "Lost in timeless horizons" and "Falling into nothingness" Breathtaking and powerful songs by this young guy..
@FloatingXDonut that's because you are free to interpret it however you want to, so you create a personal meaning without lyrics to tell you what to think...
I like to think their songs take you to the brink and brings you back up. Like the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Steve takes you way below and then brings you back to the top
@juanfranciscoh I have a pair of Skullcandy Hesh, and they are amazing. They were $40. You just have to be careful with them and take care of them well, or else they may break (they have warranty for a year)

Hello sweet Soul 🥀🍎
Oh man, just found this band and I cannot express how much I appreciate everything I've heard
should check out ther old releases
So gorgeous.. Explosions at their best

I swear, i could listen to this band all day and never get bored of it.
This song brings back so many memories. Got me through my first bout with depression. Back again
i hope you are happy now. Hugs from a stranger.
Godspeed!
Work through it brother, it’s a slippery slope. Music makes my soul feel alive along with exercise, life is too short.
Their songs remind me how to feel again
Exactly!!
Feeling feelings

I love listening EITS, I always feel so serene, my mind empty and I can just wander.
The end is just to good, I cant even begin to explain how much I enjoy this kind of music.
So glad I discovered Explosions. I am so sick of my friends top 10 on Itunes music that they play over and over and over and over and over etc.
This, plus the beautiful scene in This Means War between Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon, literally gives me butterflies in my tummy.
love this band and the music just connects everything. like when looking at the milky way for the first time and remembering where home really is ...breathtaking.
I am seeing these guys tomorrow for free. I'm so exited:D

this song is so unbelievable great
This is the kind of music that you let your child listen to at a young age.
Your child will become a genius at an old enough age.
@KoEDeath
i feel like everyone who actually gives this band a chance will fall in love. glad to know i'm not the only one who truly feels connected to their music.
The gentle vocals part gets me every time...
it makes me sad cos im remembering the love of my life.. but its such a great song.. haha i smile while i tear.. one of the most beautiful feelings in the universe..
Heard this in This Means War, knew it was Explosions, looked it up, fell in love.
this song just put me in a better mood this morning. :]
awaitingdisaster17 what scene was it in?
when tom hardy goes on a date with Reese and kisses her for the first time
I wrote and drew every Tuesday and Thursday for month to their music. All i gotta say is some great stuff came out of these tunes

What a grounding 🎵 and transporting vibe of resonating pulsation from within.🪄🤍🕊✨️🤩🤲🏽✨️🤲🏿❤️
kept coming back to this
I love this one the most..i could listen to it for hours.
2:51 the heart is slowly dying slipping away from earth, then 3:24 it slowly ressurects
ho scoperto gli Explosions da poco piu' di 4-5 mesi,mi sono piaciuti subito e,adesso che sto' attraversando un momento difficile riguardante la mia vita sentimentale non riesco piu' a farne a meno,insieme ai god is an astronaut sono gli unici che mi fanno andare avanti ogni giorno...
i cant even explain how much i love this song.
Great! unique and in a class of its own.Who are this band and why aren't they better known?Anyone?

beautiful and progressive. Loved ur tracks.
Greyflood Band সস্যয্য
6:43 You know, my dear ones, the word "Catharsis" was invented especially for this moment.
The riff at 4:09 is so damn beautiful.
Got the worst weed trip with this song....I love it
great band. i just fell across them and it was over the moment i heard it. This is nothing more than excellence.
Llegue aquí por recomendación de un amigo
Ahora esta será su canción y este comentario una muestra de nuestra amistad 🐻👌🏽
I think we can all agree that the drums kicking in near the end is one of the most beautiful moments in recorded music.
This song deserves credit so I bought it.
This is one the most chill songs iv ever heard. The build to the end is pretty epic.
LOVE THIS SONG ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER!! (:
It's funny how instrumental music speaks to me more than music with words
i swear this song ...ughh im in love with it. Its just full of beauty!!
Wanna go into the nature and just listen this.. look around. See the beautiful side of this world.
This music is poetry...
Heard this song on NPR last week. They just got done talking to these parents who's son died over in Iraq and this song came on.

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight
To me did seem
Appareled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.
It is not now as it hath been of yore;-
Turn wheresoever I may,
By night or day,
The things which I have seen I now can see no more.
The rainbow comes and goes,
And lovely is the rose;
The moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare;
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious birth;
i dont get why five people dont like this... thats rediculus this is the best music i have ever heard
I watched fireworks going off while listening to this song and standing next to my best friends. It was a wonderful experience.
Melhor coisa é ouvir essa música no dia do aniversário. E é o que estou fazendo hoje ! Ela narra uma retrospetiva.
This is life pondering music.
always makes me feel better, could climb mountain listening to this
Just saw/heard this on Letterman. Great sound. Thank You!
This is just gorgeous.
as i'm deciding what to do for college, i think of the girl i was so close to love. and i think of all the moments together and envision this song as the moments replay hoping that she feels the same for me..a bittersweet melody
used to great effect as the intro tune on BBC Wales recent remake of under milk wood - was chuffed to hear it used there.
This song makes me want to love...
After hearing this from This Means War, I searched for this song like a maniac. It was worth it. :)
Post these links everywhere please! People need to hear their beauty!!
And here I was, thinking nothing could equal, or even approach the mad respect and adulation I have for God Is An Astronaut.
Listening to this, I am ecstatically surprised. To iTunes!!
OMG I can't stop nodding my head to this song! :)
this song seriously blew my subwoofer during that deep bass part. i regret nothing.
Life comes at you fast. One day, the whole god-damned world sparkles like a trio of bindis on your forehead. The next, you're jaded and your only solace is a vague nostalgic sense of how glorious things once were.
the book made me search this. i wanna cry 😢
@thetruefanatic1 True that, i saw the movie last week, and it gave me a strange kind of satisfactory to know that I'm the only dude who knows the title of this song & from what band it's from.
This song makes me want to love, get lost, then love again.
Well put man. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Heard this on This Means War and I immediately guessed that it is EITS. Love this:)
rainymood, listen to this while EITS is playing
Such a great song, such a great band!
@Munkeybone46 likewise. a lot of films have been using explosions in the sky and other post-rock bands lately.
@person661982

Thanks for uploading mate!
Only just recently found this band and they are fucking awesome I'm really getting into this genre of music. Is there a specific name for the genre?
Post rock (the best genre)
Happy New Year!
Im in love with this song
This played on The Weather Channel's localonthe8s back iN September and October of last year
This song was in a movie I saw recently. I wanted to jump out of my seat in the theater and just start dancing around x.x
Not a complaint or anything, this is truly an amazing song, but if the first 2 minutes and 45 seconds were to loop for about 10 minutes, I'd be in heaven.
I love this song so much..There's such a great atmosphere in it, that always calms me down...
EITS are so amazing, they never fail to touch me with their wonderful music...I love them...
btw..I don't want you to see this as a spam, but I just think good music needs to be shared..
I found a band on youtube called "Nyctalgia".
If you've got enough time, listen to their songs "Lost in timeless horizons" and "Falling into nothingness"
Breathtaking and powerful songs by this young guy..
@FloatingXDonut that's because you are free to interpret it however you want to, so you create a personal meaning without lyrics to tell you what to think...
takes me to places...
Each album is so different, thematically-speaking. Yet they're the same, somehow. They each have the EITS signature stamp of approval.
@HolyAvgr - Good point. Your actions are indicative of all people's, and no one gets music for free. You should work in the industry.
This song is currently on The Weather Channel's October overnight local forecast music list.
im just sooo tired 😢
nothing short of brillance.
6:46 Here we go, lads.
THANK YOU. SO MUCH!
Nature for sure, with people you love. stoning out on a Cliffside, no talking.
soon as i get some cash I'm buyin some songs. I never buy music but I literally owe this band.
Love this band!!!!
damn it every time I fall in love with one of your songs and want to put it on my massage playlist it gets too upbeat at the end :(
I like to think their songs take you to the brink and brings you back up. Like the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Steve takes you way below and then brings you back to the top
Try Coldplay's first album for a start to finish melodic sound or Young the Giant "in the open" songs or if all else fails Bon Iver Rosalyn
@juanfranciscoh I have a pair of Skullcandy Hesh, and they are amazing. They were $40. You just have to be careful with them and take care of them well, or else they may break (they have warranty for a year)
Sometimes the comment section!!!!! Ughhhhhh. Love you all.🧡
