When Joel starts remembering his childhood and he becomes a little kid again playing in the rain and this song comes on, its so powerful. One of the deepest, realest and most honest hard hitting movies of all time.
I don't normally do this but I want to share.. The scene where Jim becomes a kid again hits so damn hard. It brings me back to my childhood where I could not just be a kid because it never felt safe. My father hit me and always told me to stop crying, even after hitting. My mother is mentally ill and I always needed to take care of her from a very young age. Because of all the responsibilities I carried I wasn't able to play or just be a kid. Been through multiple years of therapy and working hard on myself and now I'm able to cry and let out all the tears that never could be expressed when I was a kid. And I am grateful I can cry to this song and scene.
I fucking love this film, which is about choosing forgiveness over forgetfulness. Joel starts to recall his memories of Clem and realizes how wonderful his relationship with her was. He actively chooses to struggle to preserve his memories. By the movie's conclusion, Clem and Joel have decided to start over. They would much rather accept the good with the bad and come to terms with the inevitable fact that their relationship will end the same way one day than regret every tender moment they shared together. The least they can do is try, even though they are doomed to failure.
Jesus what an overwhelming experience this song is. This song just randomly popped into my head earlier today and I struggled so hard to remember where it came from. I think I first heard it as the outro to a song, and I just barely remembered hearing that it was from this movie. I searched up and down the playlist for the soundtrack, skipping over this song while thinking "nah that track looks too short". Turns out it is a short song. Hearing this version just makes it so much more impactful. I couldn't help but sit here and think of all the good times I've had in all my previous relationships. Even one where, like the thumbnail to this video, I played in the snow with an ex of mine and it's just such and overwhelmingly positive and warming feeling... especially while this amazing melody plays in the background. I'm tearing up as I write this because some sad memories come through with all the good ones, but the mixture of the two helps me appreciate it all despite those times ending. I hope anyone who reads this takes the time to tell the special people in their life that they are appreciated... you never know how or why those times might end, so cherish the good memories, and make a mental snap shot of each new happy experience as it occurs... those snap shots will carry you through the hardest times. Great song.
This base is a woven blanket, a grandmother's blanket, with many patches, with good memories, with a soft light that makes you take a sigh, that rests your soul, and when it resolves, it explains the reason for the initial melody. , tells you what the problem of the feeling is in that melody, and that moment comes where it shelters you when you solve it, it is a blanket of sound, a light wall of reverb, and an ode to the frozen and lonely sunset, God bless you Brion. Thank you very much for your work.
My dad rented this movie thinking it was another funny Jimm Carrey movie. He felt a sleep half way throught and I was glued to the TV till the very end thinking ''oh my god I've never felt this way before'' I wanted too bad to meet someone who i can connect with in the same level this movie showed me. I related too much with Joel's character. It instantly became in one of the best movies I've ever seen.
yk, it's funny, I initially had the exact same reaction to the film as a teenager but now as I rewatched it recently I had found that my interpretation was subconsciously/consciously the exact opposite of what it once was and I felt more hopeless than ever after the end as opposed to infinitely more hopeful like I once was
So this movie was my favourite as a teenager. But now, when I'm older and i think of this movie every now and then. And every time i realize, I'm moving forwards in time, forgetting childhood, the teenage days, first love, a lot of pain. everything goes on and along the way the little kid inside you gets stranded alone as the adult you drifts apart and works all day long. I don't know when it happened. Or maybe everything remains spotless because you're able to forget.
Memories: I got to be a kid again with you There were moments that felt like forever Us against the world, unstoppable Arriving in NY at 2am A stroll in central park Records in the attic Hide and seek Your little notes The bathtub in the barn on our honey moon The blanket fort Dancing by the fire Our walks in the evenings All those silly rats we loved so much Camping in the middle of nowhere Secrets in the dark All the things we said All the things we couldnt You were my best friend I am so happy i met you And for our time together Thank you for sharing your world with me
And in 2004 I experienced heartache and listened to this to ease my pain. We got back together. Been together ever since 2004, now as I write this unfortunately, her and I are experiencing problems. I’m unsure if we’ll pull through, but even if we do or don’t this song eases the pain. Thank you for posting this song.
Just wanted to say how I met her. She was a customer at a hippy store I use to work at in 1997. I always thought she was so cute, and there was something about her that I just gravitated to. Finally one day I wrote on a piece of paper “hey, you wanna hang out sometime?” With my phone number and passed it to her. Way before internet dating sites and cell phones. She left for a few minutes then came back to talk to me. We broke a few times, but starting in about 2004 we have been solid until recently. She is my everything. I’m trying and she’s trying so I’ll hope for the best for now. But things are not the same. I wish everyone here peace in their heart and mind.
This might be my favourite song. It’s the first song in my anti anxiety playlist. “Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is just a dream.” Everyone grows up hearing and singing this song but it was only recently in my twenties I paid attention to the lyrics. It’s probably the most important song to me now. It’s good to remember, that no matter what you’re going through, reality and dreams are only different if you decide they are and you can choose to not take life seriously at all, no one’s opinion matters, your family and friends might as well be imaginary, even your own misfortune can be laughed off if you decide it’s all a dream. Don’t worry about that interview or flight you have to catch or that big date coming up. It’s a dream. Choose to row your boat merrily.
I am not sure you will ever see this comment, but you really lightened me up while we were together. It was the best time of my life, and I still think of the memories we shared. to be honest, I can't stop thinking of it. I hope we could meet again. You will always have a special part in my heart. I miss you a lot, sunshine. Hope everything goes well with you, Have a good life. M
من أجمل أفلامي انا احب هذا الفلم الذي يدور حول أختيار التسامح على النسيان. يبدأ جويل في تذكر ذكرياته عن كليم ويدرك مدى روعة علاقته بها ، بحلول نهاية الفلم قرر كليم وجويل البدء من جديد أنهم يفضلون قبول الخير مع السيئ والتصالح مع الحقيقة الحتمية المتمثلة في أن علاقتهم ستنتهي بنفس الطريقة يوماً مابدلأ من الندم على كل لحظة لطيفة تقاسموها معآ أقل مايمكنهم فعله هو المحاولة رغم أنهم محكوم عليهم بالفشل
You edited this together really well. Thank you for this. I don’t even know how to describe how this song makes me feel... I just can’t help but come back to it again and again.
I remember being 17 and watching this movie for the first time. This song played and it changed my life. I fell in love with someone, I started a band and I made a movie all directly inspired by the 400 bajillion times I listened to it. I love you Jon brion
I first watched eternal sunshine of the spotless mind a couple years ago during my freshmen year of high school, and it quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time. At the time I was in a very depressive state and would listen to this song everyday and just let everything out. Listening to it again a couple years later brings me back that same feeling I felt back then, but also a nostalgic and reminiscing feeling. Even though my life wasn’t great back then I would still say it was better than it is now, and would go back as quick as i could if i had the chance. I wish i didn’t spend all these years hating myself. I don’t know how to stop anymore. If I could redo it all again I would. Every relationship and every friendship and every single memory. I would do it all again.
Hey, I don’t know you but have you let your parents know how you’re feeling? Some counseling or medication might be really helpful. At the very least letting some folks who are close to you know what you’re going through.
I wish I could magically go back when you were 6 and I 10. Then I would look for you, just to find you sitting in your bed watching those Sunday-morning cartoons that saved you from the pain and loneliness your parents put you on. I would silently approach just enough to not scare you, and then sit alongside and maybe grab your tiny hand, my little pea, to spend our time silently sharing the same space. I can’t heal your scars Sean, and the only thing for me to do is to silently witness your recovery from far away. I hope you get better so you can start to enjoy your life. Your little B.
Thank you so incredibly much for making this. I had no idea other people felt the same way about this song. This hits me in a way not many other pieces do
Brings tears to eyes,the longing emerges for something which was once meant for only me,but has gone from my sights long,long ago..like rain drenched window pane,a small corner at the garden,unkept promises from some long forgotten childhood friend,keeps floating like some hazy reels infront of my eyes,my eager hands trying to grasp them,but failing to grasp any part of it,and it keeps becoming more hazy,faded into the background,im sorry for what I couldnt achieve,sorry for the repeated tries,but still hopeful for a beautiful upcoming future..may the divine holy 'kalima'keeps all of blessed..
Born and raised in the countryside half of my life. Now living in the city for the past 20 years. This song brings such a Nostalgia of my childhood. the smell of leafs and wet ground on rainy days. The stories my mother used to tell me under the moonlight and how the moon could grant me a wish if I really was a good boy. 🥲
this song is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard...i want to hear this when i pass away...sounds wild but its true i LOVE this song. It speaks to my soul. I almost break out into tears every time i hear this. i went through hell through this song. memories and future memories to come from this song
Came here to cry. So hard to be loved just for who you are, for better or worse, rich or poor, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. Im so fuckn lonely. Nobody knows. I am just so fuckn lonely. Im so lonely. Not sure if there is any point continueing if life is so lonely. Its an invisible sickness that nobody gives a fuck about. Im so fuckn lonely. Im just so lonely.
When Joel starts remembering his childhood and he becomes a little kid again playing in the rain and this song comes on, its so powerful. One of the deepest, realest and most honest hard hitting movies of all time.
Honestly what gets me every time. I'm pretty stoic in day to day life but that shit makes me break down and cry like a baby every time.
💔 me too
same, tho nothing will top that ending lol
Probably my favorite scene when kid Joel sticks his tongue out to taste the rain
What movie
thank you now i can cry without stopping to replay 10 times
😂me too
me too!!!!
💐
Me too. Reminds me of my son. He's off at college now. He used to play songs like this on the piano in the house.
right click on the video and press loop

I feel you man, I had a similiar experience. Unable to cry yet, but hopefully someday. The scene made me scared of how repressed I've become...
sending you love and hugs
Love you ❤
you got me crying man, I really hope things are ok for you at the moment
anyone who's gone through something like that deserves to have peace
very similar experience. If you ever wanna talk, Im here for you.
I fucking love this film, which is about choosing forgiveness over forgetfulness. Joel starts to recall his memories of Clem and realizes how wonderful his relationship with her was. He actively chooses to struggle to preserve his memories. By the movie's conclusion, Clem and Joel have decided to start over. They would much rather accept the good with the bad and come to terms with the inevitable fact that their relationship will end the same way one day than regret every tender moment they shared together.

What an experience this movie was, I’ll never forget it
I am glad there are people in this world with my taste, thank you :’)
Jesus what an overwhelming experience this song is.
This song just randomly popped into my head earlier today and I struggled so hard to remember where it came from. I think I first heard it as the outro to a song, and I just barely remembered hearing that it was from this movie.

Great song.
You made me cry you s** ** * *****. What you wrote should be recorded as a voiceover with this song in the background
Jon Brion is an emotional wizard
This base is a woven blanket, a grandmother's blanket, with many patches, with good memories, with a soft light that makes you take a sigh, that rests your soul, and when it resolves, it explains the reason for the initial melody. , tells you what the problem of the feeling is in that melody, and that moment comes where it shelters you when you solve it, it is a blanket of sound, a light wall of reverb, and an ode to the frozen and lonely sunset, God bless you Brion.

My dad rented this movie thinking it was another funny Jimm Carrey movie.

And how would you describe Joel Barish being related to you!! I’m so curious and i love hearing why!
So this movie was my favourite as a teenager. But now, when I'm older and i think of this movie every now and then. And every time i realize, I'm moving forwards in time, forgetting childhood, the teenage days, first love, a lot of pain. everything goes on and along the way the little kid inside you gets stranded alone as the adult you drifts apart and works all day long. I don't know when it happened. Or maybe everything remains spotless because you're able to forget.
Memories:
I got to be a kid again with you
There were moments that felt like forever
Us against the world, unstoppable
Arriving in NY at 2am
A stroll in central park
Records in the attic
Hide and seek
Your little notes
The bathtub in the barn on our honey moon
The blanket fort
Dancing by the fire
Our walks in the evenings
All those silly rats we loved so much
Camping in the middle of nowhere
Secrets in the dark
All the things we said
All the things we couldnt
You were my best friend
I am so happy i met you
And for our time together
Thank you for sharing your world with me
I love how long this is so I can cry and be deep down in my feelings and aching soul.
Ahah let the tears go away its good for ur heart
Rest well. The surface awaits
Well said
Every time I hear this song it feels as if the song envelopes me in a warm blanket of melancholy
Great way to describe it.
man, this song just put me in a box of my own emotions. it pulls me down to deal with my deep feelings...
And in 2004 I experienced heartache and listened to this to ease my pain. We got back together. Been together ever since 2004, now as I write this unfortunately, her and I are experiencing problems. I’m unsure if we’ll pull through, but even if we do or don’t this song eases the pain. Thank you for posting this song.
Good luck mah man
@@moments2photos929 thank you, i appreciate it.
Hoping it works out for the two of you!! Love from germany

This movie will stick with me for a long time
Same
I wish I met someone who liked music like this….
This might be my favourite song. It’s the first song in my anti anxiety playlist.

My heart is really hurting right now. and this song makes all the emotions come rushing out is puddles of tears
I am not sure you will ever see this comment, but you really lightened me up while we were together. It was the best time of my life, and I still think of the memories we shared. to be honest, I can't stop thinking of it. I hope we could meet again. You will always have a special part in my heart. I miss you a lot, sunshine. Hope everything goes well with you, Have a good life. M
finally I finded a version that lasts the indicated :)
an indicated should be *forever imo, but yep this longer version is actually "fine" :)

I'm getting choked up just living in this moment with this song playing.

Thank you so incredibly much for making this. I had no idea other people felt the same way about this song. This hits me in a way not many other pieces do
I cry so much, all the times it brings out my deepest disease for my loss. ❤😢

The human experience...
Deep inside me this song and the film....
I wish i was a better friend my friends deserve someone better than me if you see this than have a great night friend
I dont even know why I cry, it's not even a scene to cry for, but still I do. It is just too beautifull

That's so wholesome to hear! And I feel you as I was born and raised in a rural area as well. Pretty memories)
Same here. I've gone back to see the old neighborhood and everything's been torn down and paved over. What's left is all neglected. ☹
Your comment really touched my heart.

No one knows that other word except you
Joel pronounces the word in the movie.
