Ambient music is yoga for the brain. Literally nothing else on the planet that can bring such a surreal calm and quiet to the deafening noise that constantly surrounds us all. Thank you, Hammock.
This song has always made me think about that day that we all will come to, when we leave this life and move on. It's a very personal time. A time of remembering the life you lived: The good moments, the little things that made life the beautiful thing it is, the people you've come to know and love, and the parts they played in it; the many regrets, the things that if you had more time to do you'd do it, telling the people around you how much you love them, knowing that you can't go backwards, but only forwards...So many memories...And lastly, just contemplating your life: have you lived a good life? Are you proud of your life? Is there anything you wish you could've changed? Well, we AREN'T there yet, so live your life to it's fullest, and remember how important the people around you are. "The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone." Let them know what they mean to you :-) Live as though today is the last day you'll get to tell these people how much you love them. Live your life to the fullest.
csmagicchef well said! This is the first Hammock song I ever heard some years back, and by the title and contemplative soundscape I couldn’t help but picture the same things as you have mentioned here.
The song itself makes me think of the inevitable time when I see my friends for one last time. The song is exactly how I want our last time to be. Slow, gentle as we remember the good times we've had. At the end we stand up and give one last hug. I tell myself I'm prepared for that day but the truth is, I never will be. It breaks my heart when we meet up and I watch them leave as I never know what tomorrow may bring. How can I even prepare myself for the day when I watch them go knowing I will never see them again?
What a sobering thought, that one day we will each have to see our friends for the very last time, be able to hug them for the very last time... and possibly have the awful task of saying goodbye. I can't even bear thinking about it.
This song always finds me sometimes, I see it recommended a few times a year and it offers me a place away from the world to reflect upon my life both forwards and backwards in time. To see everything I’ve survived behind the present, and all in the future that made survival worth it. I’ve had an incredibly harsh life: abuse, loss, mental illness, innumerable traumas, But I’ve had an incredibly beautiful one too: Music - my passion, love, dreams I have both reached and have yet to reach, and all my beautiful memories I have so much more ahead of me, I now have gotten further than ever before in my life of up and down, I know now the down is over, I may trip but I will never sink back *there*. Onward to my dreams now, in honor of all that fell for me to rise.
Music like this helps me appreciate everything. Yes I do shed some tears because it always brings up emotions I need to release. It helps me through the hard times...especially the emotional ones. It takes me on a trip...literally and figuratively and psychoactively in a way haha
Goosebumps... feelings of fear, pain and sadness, mixed together with a joy of life an appreciation of the moment, thinking about all the reasons we all choose to go on :)
i just want to meet the person behind all the wonderful music by hammock....i want to know what all goes in their mind when they create all the marvellous sensational magical music ......i am totally lost within the words to think what to say .......
Trying to put words to music like this is just so hard. It's so beyond that. This song is speechlessness. It is every description I can think of put together, happiness, sadness, a little bit of regret and a lot of nostalgia. It is the sound of all the decisions I have ever made and the good and bad results that were created from those decisions. It is even the sound of hesitation before I make those decisions. Just an immense song.
The person that brought me this music is so loved by me but I ruined a life we had together. It was brought on by fear and bitterness and just not trusting everything in his heart to be good. I just don’t know if I can accept it. Accept what’s past and gone. This music was so healing for me and now it is the trigger of all my sadness and nostalgia and yearning for the past. I miss it. I miss being with that person and I miss the music I listened to with him. But it’s over. And there is nothing else to do besides let it go. I just hope it gets less painful so I can listen to this music again and have the peace I left behind.
Exactly the same here, this sort of music blocks out any outside influence and just makes me focus on the moment. It's a strange feeling but it almost makes you feel distant from this world and closer to some sort of oneness reality. Truly amazing.
I've never been afraid of death, I think if more people thought about it, they wouldn't be either. Death is peace, a release from everything that binds you, it's complete and total bliss. The nothingness it promises is just so peaceful to me. What I fear is dying, being taken from the physical world, taken from everything you know and love. It's not what comes after that we fear, it's not the peace and nothingness we fear, but the short road to take us there at the end of our lives.
For this song I have a different interpretation than most I guess. I take literal meaning form the name, and think of people in the future, of the many years ahead, and how they will view us now. The question must be asked I guess"Will they sing for us tomorrow?" when all our worries, fears, thoughts, and deeds are now past, we turned once more dust. Will they care, and if they do, how so?
@ZachDRUMMOND very true. a year ago tho, they were big into taking down music. everything under warner records was taken down or muted, and some stuff by other labels too
@maresca99 I am the same exact way. Its transcending. It gives you a comforting feeling knowing that humans are able to create such beautiful sounds like this.
'Peak experience: a kind of transpersonal and ecstatic state, particularly one tinged with themes of euphoria, harmonization and interconnectedness. Participants characterize these experiences, and the revelations imparted therein, as possessing an ineffably mystical and spiritual (or overtly religious) quality or essence.' Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
@maresca99 +1bro, and call me a weirdo but when i listen to music like this is like i already know the sounds, they sound so familiar to me. So many memories, moments and feelings comes to mind, it's like i find myself in the music. My soul translated into the music. Too bad that not many can feel this. They don't have patience.
If you liked this, I can honestly SWEAR that you will love ZiD. Check out his soundcloud page soundcloud(.)com/zidster. As for Hammock, Big big inspiration in my life! =)

Thank you, Hammock.
Put this song in a movie, and I guarantee the entire world will be in tears.

Memento Mori 🙏
I remember when I first heard this song I was literally in tears. Saying its perfect is an understatement.
The song itself makes me think of the inevitable time when I see my friends for one last time. The song is exactly how I want our last time to be. Slow, gentle as we remember the good times we've had. At the end we stand up and give one last hug.

i really agree with you buddy

Great comments i fully agree to you peter

Very well put. I also truly believe that ambient music has within it a very special ability to clarify things in our lives...it truly is therapy.
must say feelings that hammock brings to your heart cannot give any other artist... the words cannot describe it. it is infinite.

jrmackiel48 Music is silent words that still have sound.
Music expresses that which cannot be said on which that cannot be kept silent. -- Victor Hugo.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.... just speechless.
That moment between life and the afterlife.
Beautiful and sad all at once. The music aches...
This is the music I walk upon in my life. Phenomenal.
Excellent stuff. I can't believe producers haven't co-opted more of Hammock's music into film.
Put on a headphones, turn on the music, turn off the voice in your head, close your eyes and begin an amazing journey... blissful state of mind.
This song really got me thinking... It was never death I was afraid of... It was being forgotten by the people I could never forget.
We're forgotten after 3 generations, sad but true. Do something to change that.
A deep Romance with Music!
The person that brought me this music is so loved by me but I ruined a life we had together. It was brought on by fear and bitterness and just not trusting everything in his heart to be good. I just don’t know if I can accept it. Accept what’s past and gone. This music was so healing for me and now it is the trigger of all my sadness and nostalgia and yearning for the past. I miss it.

I just hope it gets less painful so I can listen to this music again and have the peace I left behind.
Sorry to hear that you lost someone you loved. You will find love again. :)
beautiful, yet sad at the same time.
An incredible beautiful song to reflect on thoughts and find the strength to move on...
This is the power that God guive unto MAn to create, peacefull and magical moments of eternity.
Thank you : )
Its hard to find good music like this
Exactly the same here, this sort of music blocks out any outside influence and just makes me focus on the moment. It's a strange feeling but it almost makes you feel distant from this world and closer to some sort of oneness reality. Truly amazing.
Amazing! Thanks for posting this project. Hope it remains here. ...
music like this makes me feel like i am travelling on the roads of the world. i hope it will be happening in a few years.
a m a z i n g! herd it today and i was stunned !!!!
Some of the most beautiful music is some of the saddest, but beautiful, regardless....

this is gold!
I love that line. I'm going to keep it as a quote from you on Facebook. Thank you
This song lets me know that one day I will know her
Hearing this makes me realize I've been spending too much time away from home.
i think my heart is going to explode
lovely!
Oh Dear God
I'm actually crying!

@maresca99 I am the same exact way. Its transcending. It gives you a comforting feeling knowing that humans are able to create such beautiful sounds like this.
There is a little bit of the 1st moment of creation in you
'Peak experience: a kind of transpersonal and ecstatic state, particularly one tinged with themes of euphoria, harmonization and interconnectedness. Participants characterize these experiences, and the revelations imparted therein, as possessing an ineffably mystical and spiritual (or overtly religious) quality or essence.'
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
I wish i could be a good photographer like you
