As I listen to this, I'm writing my admissions essay for graduate school. I'm 27 going on 28. In 2020, I made two big choices that changed my life: I got sober and I chose love. Because of these choices, I was finally able to go back and work on my undergrad after stagnating for years in a swamp of booze, drugs, and depression. I graduated in April 2022 with honours and distinction. Now, I'm taking the next big step in my life. I've come so far in the last few years. Honestly, sometimes it's hard to believe that I'm here, and that I'm actually doing it all right for a change. And you know what? For whatever reason, post-rock has been there with me during every test, every exam, every late-night essay grind. It has been there with me in those long, dark hours of trying to untangle my life step by step. I couldn't ask for a better companion. Take care out there. Be patient with yourself. Choose love.
Your story made me think of this poem, by Tolkien. I have a similar narrative in my battles. All I have to say is "Deep roots are not reached by the frost". All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
Honestly, I haven't been myself for a while. Right now I was about to start working on some assignments, stressed, and scared I might not finish in the given timeframe. I haven't even listened to more than 2 minutes of the mix, yet everything feels so at peace, just like I'm right where I should be. You always manage to do that with your playlists. Keep up the good work, your channel really is the missing piece.
Don't let school get to u, everyone is different just try ur best, do what u can n make peace with the outcomes. Grades don't matter in the long run, do what u enjoy don't just study all the time(unless u want to). Good luck
I get tired of ways to optimize productivity so even looking for the right playlist is difficult because i am picky. but this is so calming and just right.
Post rock is one of the best genres out there seriously. I grew up on metal, but this ethereal vibe is always something i appreciated more than any kind of aggressivity. Love bands that combine both (NIN or Tool for example) but lately i've been rediscovering post rock thanks to an album of godspeed you ! black emperor i bought something like 15 years ago and i've been diving back ever since. There are some serious gems.
Your music brings such a sense of peace and harmony to my life and the world around me. It doesn't make all my problems disappear, but it gives me the strength to confront them. Thank you for being a beacon of light in my life, for making the future seem brighter and the past less daunting. Wishing you all the happiness in the world, and may you always find and cherish that something worth living for.
I love the way Aural Method punctuates the whole mix, and also the louder, hopeful finale with Whale Fall and Years of Rice and Salt. Thanks for the journey once again. Things would be a lot worse for me without this music.
I really wish I could describe what this playlist means to me. I'm so grateful that it's just a couple of clicks away. Easily one of those things in my life that I'm immensely grateful for. Thank you.
It would never help me study tbh, nor do I have to. But this so vividly encapsulates my feeling of just weird melancholy that I usually get at night time. Thinking about things like how beautiful life is, but it's weird that somehow, one day, everything I've ever known will disappear. For me at least. In an event we name death, and from that I'll never be able to arise. I'm hoping I got a long way to go yet considering I'm still basically a child, but I can't shake the feeling of how disappointed I'd be if I didn't appreciate my time here while it's still yet to continue. Even if that appreciation just comes in the form of sitting and thinking, it needs to be shown, and thought of. There is nothing wrong with fearing death, young kids do, then you kind of grow out of it, aaand then you mature a bit more and realise in a more mature kind of way that death is quite literally the end of everything. Before, I'd say, this year I had never really thought of it much, so it never bothered me. But I can't help it now. Life is such a unique opportunity, without it there'd be nothing, not much anyway. The word opportunity wouldn't be a thing, nor would any of what I'm doing right now. Weird, huh? I don't really think I'll ever fully comprehend how one day this'll all just end for me. But while im here, recently, I've realised, for some reason, that it's really important that I appreciate it, and not waste it. No one should waste it, everyone has different beliefs of what happens after death. I'm a pretty adamant person when it comes to that, maybe not the most understanding of those who disagree. But none of us can be 100% certain, so I suppose, what I'm trying to say is that wasting our time here would be silly. No matter your beliefs, I hope you can see that there's that chance that this really is it, and its great! But not infinite, so don't act like it is. Please, do not waste this opportunity you have.
I like reading these comments. Its like coming across the rest stop on the internet once in a while, and reading through the life struggles of the people on the other end of various screens. Makes you really think about life before the next alert from the team console jolts you back awake and you are at work, trying to make someone's dream come true.
Whenever I listen to your music, I feel at peace with myself and the world around me. It's not that problems start vanishing or anything like that, I simply find within myself the strength I need in order to face them. Thank you for changing lives, my life, thank you for making the future seem brighter and the past less frightening. Wish you all happiness and may you find that something worth living for, seize it and cherish it with all your heart.
This is a stressful week for me, I have many assignments to finish. I'm only 5 minutes in but the knot in my brow has unraveled, my headache is subsiding, and I feel hope. Thank you.
been watching your channel for years. discovering new music such as this mix really helps me center and ground myself when I feel that everything is out of my control. a sincere thanks to you, worldhaspostrock
I've been overwhelmed and overthinking a lot lately about life choices and love and this morning another song and this playlist have managed to keep me calm and remind me not to give up, that I've ever given up before so I won't now just need to wait and see while keep working on my goals.
Just discivered this channel yesterday and for the past 2 mornings that I've listened I've had very calm and relaxing yet slightly energizing mornings which helps the entire day go smoother, thank you.
Im so glad I found this channel. By far the best focus and study music! I have always been a fan of Balmorhea and its awesome to see them as the first band.
thanks to this playlist I've finally finished some of my art projects, and I feel more productive than I was before listening to the playlist. thank you!
9:09 whoa! I loved this, this a fine post-rock/ambient track 46:36 is fantastic too! Absolutely calming and bright Track 12 from 1:00:50 and beyond is one of my favorites here too, such a wonderful sound!
I write stories, and if you’ve been doing it long enough you know what it’s like to go ‘cold’ on a manuscript. Just this week, I fell in love again with all my cast and creations adjacent. This dry spell has taught me that crisis is relative, that love comes back around when given time. Be patient.
We can't possibly have it all. How does this planet manage it all? What is the proper balance between inspiring people to achieve all they can and accepting their unique limitations as proper boundaries for their desires? Somebody has to be an underachiever. Is it so wrong to be so content?
at first glance it was pretty cool but the deformed flying things gave it away, looked ai generated to me before I read that it was. Though to be honest the deformed things kinda give it character and fits the vibe of the playlist in a weird way
It's great that you keep sharing great and beautiful music, even from not so well known bands, but as an artist it really hurts to see (even from the thumbnail) that you're using AI generated pictures. You could have perfectly reached out to an actual artist and ask for permission to use one of their artworks. Even if you can't pay for it, it could be for promotion. Just like musicians can use the free advertisement, creators in other forms of arts can also appreciate that. What we don't appreciate is being ripped off and having our work scraped without consent for others to use, especially when there are companies profiting from it (I know that's not your case, but sadly it doesn't change that reality), while trying to replace us. Unlike the music industry, we don't have labels and big companies with lawyers watching our backs. Not only our jobs are at stake, but our identities, and if human expression and experience mean anything to you, which I believe to be the case, I'd be thankful if you refrained from committing the same mistake in the future.

great, man
Let's go king! Hope you will reach everything you are aiming for :)

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Even though I don't know you, I'm proud of you Zach, I hope you're doing good!
Being sober is badass. The only way to live

@@bongocat2793 good try but she ain't sleepin with u lol
Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad the mix made you feel better. I hope things get better soon
Im glad they chose that song to start this playlist. Its a great album
I get tired of ways to optimize productivity so even looking for the right playlist is difficult because i am picky. but this is so calming and just right.
Love working on cars to this playlist.
Everything just sort of falls into place and I couldn't be more happier.

3hrs of postrock from you, couldnt have asked for more. Thank you.
Music is phenomenal out of this world and ads are godly.

Thank you for helping me discover this song by Aural Method, The Heavens Swung Their Blinding Gates.

thank you for making such music.
Спасибо за плейлисты. Когда мне нужно работать, а вокруг слишком шумно (т.е. 80% моего рабочего времени) - они выручают.
this is like the soundtrack to the lore that is my life
Thank you for the list and the bandcamp links as well!
This is one of the best music mix I have come across this year. So so amazing!

Always on time on our feelings. Thanks my friend (allow me to call you like this, since we share the same feelings of these songs).
Holy shit, that song number 27, the way the trumpet enters...my god!! chills
And I was so focused.
I will look for more of them

İhtiyacım olan şey buydu.. 👋❤

Thank you for your channel, mate
Post-rock must be in every playlist of the people in world.

Amazing. Thank you for this
Gracias hermoso canal que descubrí hace 2 años
Thanks.
I don't know about my fellow post-rockers, but I like a little dash of emo in my post-rocks.
Спасибо большое, прекрасный плейлист
lovely ❤
Doing nothing feels way more productive after putting a focus playlist on
Thankyou💜
Can you share where do you upload other artworks like this one?
I was focused until heklAa - Yamune came on. What a piece.
Wow.
Gooderrrrrr
I write stories, and if you’ve been doing it long enough you know what it’s like to go ‘cold’ on a manuscript.
Just this week, I fell in love again with all my cast and creations adjacent. This dry spell has taught me that crisis is relative, that love comes back around when given time. Be patient.
Everything is gonna be okay. All I need is to just move on.
This mix is incredible! So much striking talent throughout. I’ve found so many astounding artists through this channel. Thank you @worldhaspostrock
for a new listening experience, speed up by 2x. That sounds cool.

Beautiful mix !absolutely Love it ! Where's the "support" button??
i was listening radiohead while studying and it didn't helped tbh. thx for the mix Can
Actually insane that AI generated this picture. It looks so natural as a painting.
really I was thinking the opposite. that explains a lot
at first glance it was pretty cool but the deformed flying things gave it away, looked ai generated to me before I read that it was. Though to be honest the deformed things kinda give it character and fits the vibe of the playlist in a weird way
🤩
Instead of studying I'm crying wtf xD
I love this!!! but I'm too sensitive right now for it ...
priceless
the tumbled sea - Children Building This Rainman Out of Snow 53:33
My favorite one
Such a good playlist but the commercials make me say NO to listening
