I think a song name can and should be interpreted differently for every listener and there are no wrong answers. But with that said, this song is for my mother who has a German background. Mutter is Mother in German.
Everytime my son has trouble sleeping me and his mother play this for him. And he falls asleep to every time. ❤ Thank you for the beautiful music rob, Much love from Chicago.❤
I'm glad he recorded this outside. All the birds chirping and the bugs, and the wind... this is amazing. Reminds me of the peacefulness of Minecraft's soundtrack.
man if you like this kind of music, you should really check the chilean musician Joakin Bello, he has a bunch of tracks where he uses nature as a resource for his music, regards!
I'm certain I've written some bad songs haha I never play at these places when I'm not filming. But I do visit them every now and then, I'm usually on the look out for new places though. And primus. Probably wouldn't be playing instruments if I didn't find Primus when I was 13 or so.
Man. Every time I hear you play, I FEEL the love for the music you have. After 8 years, still the best piece of music you created. Everything great in 2020. I know you aren't gonna read this comment, but everything best to you and your family in the next decade. Love from Czech Republic
I hope he reads your comment . The best to his and your family . Today i watched his making of the classical guitar and this song was at the end of the vid
The coolest part about this video besides the fact that this song is genius and absolutely breath taking is the fact that you went ahead and posted to coordinates to this spot. I think that's awesome. Keep up the amazing work man.
Glad you like that :) and thanks! There's a photo on my fanpage of two friends who traveled there because of this video. I sent them some t-shirts after I saw it :)
Much thanks! a lot of credit should go to my friend and cameraman for this shoot Matt Young. He actually did fall off the cliff, camera in hand while shooting. It's in the behind the scenes (in description)
+Angad Virk ya, here in Chicago/surrounding area the Great Lakes are something else. A lot different from the ocean. Pure, fresh etc. but I think for this video Rob might've drove to Indiana or Michigan because I don't think you can find a rural cliff like this on the edges of the lake in Illinois.
+vZZenn *wisconsin not Michigan And actually he has the coordinates for google maps in the description and it actually is Wisconsin so he did take a nice drive.
I came back to this today after listening to this 3 years ago... it's beautiful how you write your music. It is simple yet wonderful and it brings me back all the time. Thanks for the peacefulness in this chaotic world, Rob.
4:00am. Birds chirping outside. Eyes closed, accompanied by a soft breeze through the window; this song playing in the foreground. All my stress was just washed away by beautiful melody. I don't think I've ever felt so relaxed in my life. Rob, you have a true gift my friend.
Well much thanks! I appreciate the support :) Though I'm sure you and anyone watching this could play this with enough practice. Tab in the description :)
I love both, though I find myself using my nylon string more. So I certainly recommend getting a classical guitar, but I definitely don't recommend putting nylon strings on a regular acoustic
Been coming back to this song over the years. Reminds me of such a varied amount of emotions. 10 years later still hitting me right in the feel box. Thanks for creating this Rob. See you in another decade x
I hope Rob will go back to songs like anchor, rain, and for that second, & this of course he really knows how to write a song that makes you not need vocals etc. His playing speaks for itself
Laying here typing this, I just got through a panic attack, and listening to your music while talking through it with my friends really helped me out. So, thank you. Greetings from Wisconsin.
Adis I can understand why that could seem "funny," especially with what's been going on in the Tumblr site for the past few years, but no; my panic attack wasn't me being melodramatic about having work in the morning :) inb4 me getting called a faggot and/or a liar.
I got to visit this place a few days ago with the coordinates he left in the description. It was surreal being there especially since I saw this not too long after it was first posted and daydreamed about being at this exact spot. If you ever have the chance to visit beautiful Milwaukee stop by this spot. Thank you Rob for your amazing music. It's gotten me through a lot of hard times and being at this exact location made me appreciate your work and my life more.
Wow, I've been living in Milwaukee my whole life and I've never been to that place. I have to check it out soon. Thanks for leaving this comment two years ago.
Across the sea of space and time, I waited for the call from the falling star. I found her in the valley, and she kept me with the saints... but when I left to the east, she left to the shadows. And in the snow of Juno, within the walls of education, I am lost to the missing part I knew would die. But I wanted to show her I could try... and try... and try again. Where has my queen of stone gone? Why must I watch the sea alone? Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for creating this.
Just kill me now because nothing could be more audibly or visually more serene than this. Absolute perfection in so many ways. Watching and listening i am at peace. Thank you Rob...
hmmm, that's a tough question. I guess after you've been doing it a while it is easy to come up with melody, but regardless of whether or not it's easy it's very time consuming
Dude, any time I'm having a stressful day I just play your music and by the middle of the song I'm so 'there' where I really am or what had me really offset really doesn't even matter anymore. Thank you for the gift of escape, every time.
That's so great to hear! :) I hope you continue to have a blast playing, and we can keep on being in the play-guitar-outside club haha Looking forward to your Rain cover if you decide on posting! All covers go on a playlist the main channel :)
My friend, you have both the heart and soul of a real musician. Not only can you write amazing instrumental pieces which have more depth than most of today's music, you know how to make people think and feel when you do decide to use lyrics. I hope that you never give up, because going through the music on your channel make my day every time. ^_^
Love it. Every time I got inspired by your music again and again I also want to get up. Get up, grab a chair and play some beatiful heartbreaking music on a cliff. Love From some unknown place, love from someone unimportant.
Me and my partner both love your music, her for the intoxicating and relaxing sound, and me for the pure wordless poetry you write, looking up to you as a big inspiration Rob, you were the first channel I found when I first started playing guitar 5 years ago, much love from me and my girlfriend, keep up your amazing work!
That awkward and slightly disappointing moment when you play around with natural harmonics on your acoustic, come up with a cool song, go listen to Rob Scallon, and discover this song then realise the intro sounds almost exactly like what you thought you just came up with... Dammit, Rob. Great song though.
Thanks Rob for such wonderful music. I listen to your solo playlist every time I work on my college crap. Your music is the only thing keeping me from breaking my laptop.
For some reason this made tear up a little, cause i really want to meet somebody and the sea made me feel the hurdles i have to cross to meet that person the video and the song(even though it doesnt have any lyrics)made my situation pretty relatable:(
I think a song name can and should be interpreted differently for every listener and there are no wrong answers. But with that said, this song is for my mother who has a German background. Mutter is Mother in German.
back in sophomore year we had a guitar class in school and someone was running around and ran into next to a chair
ouch! any guitars harmed?

Chances are it wasn't recorded outside and it's just post-production. Anyway it does sound amazing ^^
Ramon Strien Yea probably.
Or at least the guitar track is recorded in his "home studio" and the wind and birds are actual samples from the site!

Shred2bits Nice! Thanks, I'll check it out :)
It's like silence, colored in
What a great simile :)
I felt that.
That’s beautiful, absolutely beautiful
Epic comment.
Thanks so much for the support :)
Much more music to come!
have a good one,
Rob
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. amazing stuff my friend
What’s the tuning for this song
I’d love to learn it
I'm certain I've written some bad songs haha
I never play at these places when I'm not filming. But I do visit them every now and then, I'm usually on the look out for new places though. And primus. Probably wouldn't be playing instruments if I didn't find Primus when I was 13 or so.
i love how you played this on the new acoustic build video :)

Came here expecting a cover of Rammstein's Mutter, but left after having Rob's sweet guitar playing caress my ears... I'm happy either way!
I honestly think that most of Rob Scallon's songs would bend perfectly with the minecraft soundtrack....it's so peaceful i'm legit crying 😅
Thanks for this awesome song mate!
Lost my mother a few months ago, and this tune letting me feel her right next to me!
It is pretty imposing how he managed to capture the family feeling I personally forgot I had in this song.
Sorry for your loss.
I hope that you and your mother are at peace three years on.
I love the symbolism of being on the edge of something so great, ready to risk the fall for something epic! Well done!
Much thanks!
a lot of credit should go to my friend and cameraman for this shoot Matt Young. He actually did fall off the cliff, camera in hand while shooting. It's in the behind the scenes (in description)
Rob Scallon geez, is he still alive ?
@@MultiAlerocks he is, it's more like he slid down the cliff.
I like Rob Scallon
He makes really good music
It's snowing on Mount Fuji

Jacob Halfman it's funny to see lovelies in places you wouldn't normally expect them.
YESSSSSS
you must be on an OP devil?
2 years too late yet Im the only one who recognises that as a Haiku
why is his music so beautiful?
In his videos he's almost everytime playing his hard core heavy metal
It's because I have a small penis I think. I'm not sure though. Not about it being small, I'm sure it's small. Anyway. Practice and have hands helps
Charles Campbell wtf
Most of rob scallon’s original music is beautiful solo guitar, like this song.
Also, wtf, FunkyDrummer?
i come back to this at least once a year and it just gets better every time
The ocean had the best seat in the house.
+KainzMusic Not to break the news but it's a lake, Lake Michigan if I'm correct
Angad Virk there is a reason they call it "the great lakes" look it up on google maps. They are easily seen from space

Rob scallion has the most feel of any other player out there. He has really made his mark with his amazing style.
8 years now. I can say that I am one of the pioneer since I watched his 1st ever video with under 400 views many years ago. I'm still loving it.
You know this song would sound good (well besides everywhere)? A wedding. This would be such a beautiful and chill song for a wedding.
i always thought his song i want to have at my wedding!
@@braescanlon1829 2 years on, 1. Have you got married? and 2. Did you have this song?

My favorite youtube page. Hands down.
much thanks :)
I love it just the way it is.. Beautiful... Peaceful... Soothing.. Don't change a thing. Very relaxing. You have a beautiful talent..
Happy mother's day mom! :D
(Mutter is German for mother)
My bucket list isn't too long, but taking a trip to this spot to play this song is up there
Across the sea of space and time, I waited for the call from the falling star. I found her in the valley, and she kept me with the saints... but when I left to the east, she left to the shadows. And in the snow of Juno, within the walls of education, I am lost to the missing part I knew would die. But I wanted to show her I could try... and try... and try again.

Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for creating this.
Something about this song repeatedly brings me to tears. This is absolutely beautiful, thank you for this.
Oak wood cliff and trails!!! I’m from Wisconsin I love this place
Just watched the new wind guitar video. It brought me here.
Thank you for sharing your music.
Thanks! I'm really excited to release it
I'll never understand why this song doesn't get more attention. Been a favorite of mine for years
great music.
great video.
great player.
what else can we say, rob's the man
Just kill me now because nothing could be more audibly or visually more serene than this. Absolute perfection in so many ways. Watching and listening i am at peace. Thank you Rob...
hmmm, that's a tough question. I guess after you've been doing it a while it is easy to come up with melody, but regardless of whether or not it's easy it's very time consuming
GLAD YOU THINK SO!!!!
brought my guitar to my music class in high school, these two kids were running around and smashed into it with a chair haha
Thanks! the coordinates are actually in the description. have fun on google maps!
Thanks :)
I think this is one of my best
Still one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard
It was nice to play here. And you should see where the cameraman was! on the second channel theres a bit of footage of him falling off
Majestic view.....Majestic music
Much thanks :)
I'm really happy with this one
i think that every time rob is playing he is in the zone and when i see him playing or listen to him i feel like i'm in the zone too :)
Really happy with this music. Reminds me my mother and her kindness...
i love listening to rob's stuff while i'm studying. it honestly helps me focus so well.
Love the open tuning you picked
Thanks :)
The full tab is in the description if you want to learn it!
I've been working on it for awhile now. It's super fun but my guitar isn't the best when it comes to harmonic notes tho, but I make do
This needs to be recognized more. You are a musical genius.
That's absolutely fantastic. I hope you got an A! :D
I've listened to this 10 thousand times and it still never gets old.
So you've spend over a thousand hours listening to JUST this song?
Because you can.
yes
I was thinking this was gonna be a cover of Mutter by Rammstein. Still a magnificent piece.
The beauty of this song cannot be expressed in words. Fills my heart with joy every time I hear it.
The cameraman actually slid off the cliff at one point while he was filming. It's in the behind the scenes
It starts of so slow and then the dynamic increment wants to rip my heart out.
Can't describe it with words how much I enjoy your music.
Well thank you! :)
I'm trying to get myself out there as best I can
Can't get tired of hearing this, really awesome job Rob, congratulations dude.
Well thank you!
I think my cover of scarves and sweaters is the closest I have to that style with vocals
everything about this, the imagery combined with the way you play is simply amazing. I love this. Your music really inspires me man
peace!
this video calms me so much, thank you rob :)
E A Db g# b e
the full tab will be up very soon :)
Dude, any time I'm having a stressful day I just play your music and by the middle of the song I'm so 'there' where I really am or what had me really offset really doesn't even matter anymore.
Thank you for the gift of escape, every time.
Best guitar video I ever seen. It's perfect..
Great song Rob!! So much emotions and harmony.. You've got big talent. Rob you are ARTIST!!!! Peace.
me: *o boi i cant wait to see how rob interprets a rammstein song*
me (6 mins 56 secs later): wat
Why am I now just seeing this? Wow! this is so beautiful and the scenery only adds to it
So beautiful...
I had this song on whilst studying with a friend. Now for some reason this nostalgia is making me tear up. I love this song.
That's so great to hear! :) I hope you continue to have a blast playing, and we can keep on being in the play-guitar-outside club haha

You had to have known the d string is tuned down to a c sharp and the g is tuned up to a g sharp 🤔
Beautifully composed, performed and shot! Sorry, gotta watch and listen again now!
a few people recently have told me I am their alarm clock song. I'm happy to be waking people up haha
7 years ago... Sad thing is I bet that cliff has long since collapsed into the ocean. Beautiful thing is you has this moment on it before it went.
