I feel like a little kid wandering through a party my parents are holding. It's being held in the basement, and everyone's holding beverages and having a good time. They're saying things I don't understand, but I can tell they're happy
Woah...
omg..!

this video kind of shows you how weird humans are as a species
That was the purpose of the movie “Koyaanisqatsi” made in 1983 by Godfrey Reggio. You should take a look at it… The original soundtrack was composed by Philip Glass (far different from BoC music which although suits perfectly to the footage) and adds a more terrifying feeling to the images.
François Crocy incredible film. it made me feel more and less like an individual at the same time.
Autonova Glad to see that you took the time to put an eye on this uncommon and “not so easy to watch” movie. Like I said, the mixed feeling you describe is exactly what the movie is all about.
François Crocy wow thank you for the movie suggestion. that movie was absolutely amazing and really quite frightening to be honest....I feel really weird after watching it

You should check out the films of Ron Fricke, too (he was the cinematographer and a writer for Koyaanisqatsi.) He's gone on to make some equally amazing films. Check out Baraka (1992) same message, but perhaps a bit more uplifting.
A little boredom can be a dangerous thing.
deathnote?
Brandon Hilikus this song is very similar to taiketsu (boredom) from the death note ost!
taiketsu song makes me sad and think about the past honestly even though its good this one not so much but still makes me think about the past maybe its just the video
@@BrandonHilikus its music from futur, thats why
Yeah, someone used the taikutsu track in vid and I tripped out thinking it was some lost remix/version of this track, which was released in 1998.
Boards of Canada changed my life
You said it well, Vaporking.
yes
boc still changing my life
A bit dramatic, it changed your taste in music.
Their music changed his life.
ok i will tell you what this is song is about. this song is about being under the table at some family gathering when you are like 4 years old. you are crawling under the table seeing only legs of people sitting and you hear chunks of conversations that makes no sense to you because you are four. you are sitting under this table and it feels like magic and safe place. you are wondering what they all are talking about but you don't really care because you feel good there.
I want to go back to that place. World nowadays looks bleak and gloomy.
Man, that description fit so well with the music, it triggered memories that I shouldn't have had.
You got it right
Funny, that’s how one of Bukowski’s books begins. I think it was Ham and Rye, I could be mistaken.
bruh... i had this experience as a child. wtf
Just know that if you’re here, reading my comment, listening to this art. That you aren’t like the rest, that there is something deep within that sets you apart, you are different in the best way, and that all of us here in this comment section are connected by that same difference, that hazy and obscure enigmatic feeling.. and sort of metaphysical in a way.
bruder du bist nicht allein
This music makes me feel a little bit more human :)
I'm sitting down. I'm listening to this. And then I realize that life is going on, it just goes on, like a video tape playing. People doing things, other people doing other things, not knowing what other people are doing exactly. And it feels as if I'm an inanimate object, watching it all happen and just observing...feeling nothing.
Oof
Your kind of comment is the reason why I enjoy spending some eves on RUclips in the dark
What a comment wow
inanimate sensation
NPC-core unlocked
I can't believe I found this song again.
I used to listen to this all the time after my friend Amanda died. I'd had it as an unnamed song on my shitty Zen Pebble mp3 player, and I lost it in Corpus Christi. So many memories of just full on sobbing and healing.
So happy I found it.
There there, friend. Be well...
Forrest Hooker Nothing can replace your loss, and I hope this song only brings up the greatest memories with your friend.
If you like this type of music, you might have bumped into a huge treasure. Boards of Canada's discography is full of little tunes like this. It is the life. I hope you explore and enjoy it.
Rex Mason Late to your response, but I appreciate it man.
Alvin H. Davenport I appreciate that a lot, and it does really give me peace every time I hear it. I've actually been very into BoC for awhile now (since I was 12 really), I just completely forgot who made this. BoC ended up turning me onto a few other artist within the realm of ambient music, and they occupy most of my relaxing time at home.
Do not be sad that she is gone but rather be happy for their existence in the first place
There is something sad and nostalgic about this music, even though it's music I didn't grow up with. It's like coming upon a perfume I smelled as an infant, but, can't place where I first detected it.
I can't believe "360p" was considered high-quality when I uploaded this. That's embarrassingly hilarious. Also, to those who point out that this is all original footage shot for Koyaanisqatsi, now I know! Thanks for informing me. And yes, I've seen the film like, a bajillion million times.
To clarify to anyone curious, this is a selection of clips form the film pieced together to go along with the song.
I can't believe 360p was high-quality when I uploaded this as well. Seriously, what the fuck. It's as if my eyes were blurry in 2008, and six years later, they've seemed to sharpen themselves. Also, thank you for your clarifications.
top film (and band of course). check out my own turquoise hexagon sun fan vid. peace
I just want to say thank you for uploading this. For me, this is the greatest video that exists on RUclips.
I'm honored. Thank you. You made me smile.
Deloreansyk sir don't feel bad about past quality its fine its just how i remember it back in 08 :D
I feel like, if I ever found someone with same taste in music, we would just chill out silently listening to this, and we could communicate just by looking into each other's eyes.
Love Koyaanisqatsi and Philip Glass too, Aphex Twin, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Tycho, Bonobo, etc.
I turned a few of my friends on to Boards of Canada and it made me so happy. Of course they had to get high first to enjoy it... but it was a step in the right direction
Caslav
Throw Deathgrips, Slayer, Clipping, Children of Bodom, and a few good trance songs on there from time to time and I'm ur guy.
love all of those things as well
I feel the same way. But the years go by so fast...
Hey dude. Wanna come over to my house? My parents are gonna be out, so we can play the speakers really loudly and nobody will tell us off! Just let me know whenever you're free; I'll be waiting whenever B-) See you!
I believe this inspired Death Note’s “Taikutsu” Theme heavily. Take a listen
I agree. :) Still I kinda love the death note’s one.
I agree. :) Still I kinda love the death note’s one.
It's the other way around actually Taikutsu was inspired by this because the death note anime was out 2006 while this soundtrack was originally released in 1996
@@katiele3149 That’s why I said ‘I believe this inspired Death Note’s “Taikutsu” Theme’
@@KEIDREN ooop sorry my brain read that too fast my bad haha
without Boards of Canada, life would be a mistake
Definitely. We need more music from Boards of Canada, not Black pink.
My favorite BoC piece. It has this feeling I can't quite describe.
Anon E. Moose You can say that about all of their tracks, which is far from a bad thing.
Listening to BoC feels like a moment of pure clarity. I'm so relaxed yet focused on everything I see, hear and think.
this is powerful bro. Humanity has a great, beautiful immense drive, but towards the wrong goals. But in the end we all die.
Boards of Canada is simultaneously the most unreal and real duo.
This song reminds me of my first wife. She was a singer and also enjoyed BOC. She was my turquoise hexagon sun, my north. We split never to see each other again only during the divorce audience. Our relationship was very intense, and very difficult too. She hates me, because I was such an immature person and hurtful (but not a bad man), and I still feel her hate towards me. When I was good, I tried my best, but yes, she went because of me. When she left, I used to hear this song and cry a lot. Many years have passed, and now I listen to this song, and I mostly remember the good times I had with her. She taught me about love, about arts, about life. I hope that where ever she is, she is happy, or at least, she tries too.
I think this is my favorite song in the world...and I also think that if I ever meet someone that likes this song as much as I do, I will instantly commit my life to this person, because this is not just a song, is a whole new universe of emotions...and I want this person to be in my life.
🙂
Damn, I thought you said she also enjoyed BBC.
No song has ever described more perfectly how I feel in social gatherings.
Many years ago, I came across BoC, and became nostalgic of the 60s - turquoise lunch trays, hot summer days, playing in sprinkler, etc - and once I found out that is exactly what that album was intended to do, they became my #1. I don’t know if that was memories from a past life, or if they are just that good at creating nostalgia - either way they are amazing!! Thank you for all the beautiful years of beautiful tunes!! ❤️
The beat in this is so addicting
Hauntingly beautiful song.

+DayOff "Sad and Beautiful" Described in a single image. God, this video is perfect.
I first saw this video and song after my Dad died 6 years ago. This moment really brought the tears.
+Theresa Verhaalen
Wow that ending was devastating. What a tune.
@@teevee182 sorry to hear
*what an absolutely beautiful song name*
BoC have often said in interviews that they wanted to capture the vibe of nostalgia and childhood, they got a lot of inspiration from movie soundtracks from early 80s and educational TV programs for children, they sampled these a lot in their early days.
Listening to this song and or any BoC song on a plane is absolute one of the greatest experiences ever.
Lol with COVID would've been perfect
So here's a story. A while ago I saw this comment, and this was before my huge Boards of Canada obsession. I thought about it often when I would go on plane rides, hoping one day I could have the experience of listening to this song on a plane. A month ago my good friend bought the MHTRTC CD for me and I ripped it to my Ipod. I recently went to Cuba on a plane ride, and I finally was able. It was late and dark, and I hit play and it was beautiful. So thank you to the original commentor.
If there was a video showing how I see the world, here it is. Everything's going so fast. No time for thinking, dreaming, being creative. People try to kill the child in themselves but they fail.
Wow you're so interesting and deep. Tell me more oh prophet.
if you like the video you should check out the film its from. koyaanisqatsi.
Funny, since that busy world You see there is also creativity, But not one childish or full color, rather a more...focused creativity.
well put
Andrew Breslin
You're right. I will.
The space created during the small solo portion at 3:05 is just hauntingly refrained and beautiful. Melody isn’t clouded up too much; it rides along the rhythm with just effortless space between the drum and bass
Sometimes people can’t speak and looking for that helping hand means everything
That's why I like religion.
"All footage derived from "Koyaanisqatsi" (1982), which is mostly probably derived from somewhere else anyways."
Koyaanisqatsi was filmed by Ron Fricke who is one of the greatest cinematographers to ever have lived. Very few clips from the film weren't done by him, just FYI. If you enjoy Koyaanisqatsi you should check out Samsara which will be in theaters this August.
Got boiaaniskatsi’d
Damn I'd forgotten about Koyaanisqatsi.
I'll always remember a comment I once saw on this song (maybe the video has been removed) the guy said it felt like "being a child among adults, hearing them but not understanding what they say" or sth like that. I couldn't put words on my feelings but It's exactly what i feel listening to this song, especially around 04:06
BoC touches my soul…21 years later from introduction to them and never tired of any of their beautiful music x
This is my favourite BoC song. I was introduced to them by hearing their music in commercials, radio shows like This American Life, between bumpers on adult swim, in and Salad Fingers. This song is in a lot of media I'd experienced since my later teens, and I feel like its traveled with me, often there in the background somewhere until I actually found its source. To me, it always feels like a calm place to go. A little wistful, nostalgic, but overall hopeful and chill.
i've listened to this album regularly for over 20 years. this is the saddest song ever created.
So beautiful, every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes.
okay is it just me or was this video not searchable for a hot second there? anyway, i love this mashup of koyaanisqatsi and turquoise hex sun. truly goes well together even though i still happen to be very fond of the philip glass composition that runs throughout the movie itself.
I realized my place in the universe listening to Boards of Canada smoking weed...
what's your place bro?
@@carbonhazard Detroit
the cookie factory
oo weed you're cool
This is the song that introduced me to Boards of Canada. It's just as hypnotic now as it was then.
What a beautiful video. Boards os Canada always make a good trip.
I just rediscovered BoC tonight after years man. Such a great sound, they have. So much music to explore as well. Fun stuff!
Boards of Canada released this chill gem of an album on the 20th of April 1998. Somehow I think this was deliberate.
3:28 This moment feels as if the pilot knows that im staring right at him and he's staring right at me and we're both in this weird state when you're spacing out for a while without a single thought in your head just staring at one particular thing. This is really the perfect footage for this song, or rather this song is perfect for the film
This describes my mood.
You must be awesome irl
Hope you're feeling better now 8)
Depression, hunger, stress, agitation, sadness, loneliness, disgust, fear, anger, boredom, indignation, envy, annoyance, bitter, confusion, embarrassment, grief, hate, hostility.
this song and video makes me feel like our whole lives are blank, filled by pointless rushing and running desperately for something.
This video is amazing, watched it YEARS ago and the ending scene stuck w me so hard I came back
BoC's music is strangely calming and relaxing, and the videos are sort of hypnotic too.
Im in my flat in Copenhagen, sitting in my sofa. My cousin is visiting from Tenerife, sitting on the right. We visited Roskilde today, we just ate, life's good
Great harmony with the film.
The sounds and tones of BOC hit's all the inner thought signals of ones mind.
amazing tracks.
Best use of Koyaanisqatsi ever, well done sir !!
Masterpiece ❤ Cannot describe my feelings when I hear it 😳
I don't know why, but something about this video makes me feel so... Orange.
orange hexagon sun, I see what you did there
Forty two, twenty four, sixty ten lol
great!
Ha, Orange Hexagon Sun.
LOL
Perfect song to start the work day.
The end of this video at 5:00 really hurts my heart. Last time I ever saw my grandmother she was in the same state. I miss her so much. This song makes those feels that much worse. I love you dearly.
The video is taken from the movie KOYAANISQATSI. In case anyone is interested.
"All footage derived from 'Koyaanisqatsi' (1982), which is mostly probably derived from somewhere else anyways"
LOL.....
lol
Nope, it was all cinematography by Ron Fricke, you can look up more of his stuff and see the similarities.
A great video to accompany another amazing Boards of Canada tune!
Thanks for uploading
This sounds like something that you trying to bury in the past, but still haunts you
The greatest track and video of all time
Oh! Heh. Hello Emma. Glad to see you could make it, uhm, i-i-is a check alright?
Oh hum, I suppose I'll sort all that out with Earl. D-do come in!
love how there's footage from koyaanisqatsi in there! i luvvv boc and koyaanisqatsi with all my heart
The Koyaanisqatsi music is so fitting here; one of my favourite films with one of my favourite musical pieces!
Well that wasn't totally depressing
It's weird, its actually uplifting and makes me feel motivated but I've definitely gotten that sad feeling from this song before as well
@@Johnson-gu8gg Its a really strange feeling for me, cant really put it in the happy/depressing category. Its more of an introspective feeling for me, makes me think and puts me in a strange place.
Everything you do is a balloon and finity, including this song they are life changing masterpieces.
my fav chillout of all time.
Definitely one of the best of Boards of Canada. 👍
amazing video, to an amazing piece of music. I love BOC!
Even today, this song is a daily rotation.Daily listen. A+
Just picked this album up today. I am in love with this song.
The supermarket bit made me hungry and nauseous at the same time. Only boards of canada's videos could produce such an odd combination of sensations visually and musically.
Great film, good song and nicely sampled.
Beautiful.
remembering the day i was introduced to boc
So much sadness
Damn this is beautiful.
How does one exactly come up with melodies that sound so separate from everything else?
I just want to keep travelling forever, not knowing what my destination is, nameless people carrying suitcases and rucksacks all around me, while this plays softly in the background.
beautifully said
On some distant day, when we are all dead, this current hive of humans will look very strange, beautiful, and dangerous .
It is dangerous NOW.
Boards of Canada synced with Koyaanisqatsi... How has no-one else thought of this before? Thank you so much for this, I love BoC and Koyaanisqatsi is one of my favourite films!
best song forever
Whenever I have a bad trip I come here.
One of my fav. songs. Also love the film. Would love to own it on DVD.
It's Koyaanisqatsi directed by Godfrey Reggio. And yes indeed BOC's music videos never cease to amaze me.
Boards of Canada's music always has that nostalgic vibe going on, kinda similar to feeling like you've lived in the past at one point in time. If that's the case, I probably lived in the mid 70's.
beautiful.
Sublime.
Astounding. Thank you.
I absolutely love this video. I came here for the music, but I keep coming back for the video. Covid's at the tail end of it's rain, and after a few more months of light drizzle, hopefully we'll go back to this.
brilliant.
sitting back and cracking a monster open with family while reality disintegrates
awesome
oh the nostalgia... reminds me of blazing in my room watching my cat look out the window and basking in the sun after school days...
what a amazing track
Loving all times
You couldnt make something better than a mix between hi-speeded koyaanisqatsi and BoC downtempo. Thanks a lot
BoC create moods, feelings and pictures. For me there aren't many artistes that can do that
Beautiful songs and vids like these just get you thinking about the human condition... wow, so simple yet so intricate.
Boards of Canada made me not need or want anything else from this World. Their music made me a very content, easy-going person.
I have always been this way but listening to their music, letting it play through my speakers, in the background (while doing chores, catching flights to different continents, at the airport, cab rides, meeting various people, trail running, hiking, camping, writing or even just studying) has really helped me live out of time and has warped my memory in a really cool way 😅
I often find myself being the most content person in the room. Content with thoughts, feelings or perception. It feels great to not need or want anything or anyone. I guess that's what freedom is.
gran video y hermosa canción
