Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon [HD]

Thursday Afternoon

[jonetodonnell]

I'm lying in a hospital bed, having delivered my first child a little over a day ago. My brand new son is nestled in my arms while we listen to this album, the same album my father played for me when I was born 26 years ago. I can't wait to show him the beautiful world of music that Eno was a part of.

This morning, I received a text message from my boss. He had told me "It's going to rain hard tonight so it wont be busy. We have enough people for this evening, so stay in and take the evening off. See you tomorrow." It's now my first Thursday afternoon off since the pandemic. I'm sitting on a small abandoned bridge in the forest at the edge of town listening to this among the sounds of a cool wind blowing in the trees, the crickets and frogs singing their song, and the river flowing beneath me. I'm wearing my old yellow raincoat while watching the sunset. The clouds are rolling in from the east, the birds have gone silent in their homes, and I'm now waiting for the sky to open from above me.

You don’t find this album, it finds you when you need it the most.

People ask me how I stay so calm in any situation, from earthquake to pandemic. I tell them 'I've been listening to Brian Eno since 1974.' Thank you, BE.

I get up early, push to get things done, eat lunch, then nap with this on. I deserve it, you deserve it.

This is one of the ever present musical mainstays of my life. For 35+ years, starting in my 20's, I have heard this and other Eno masterpieces on my Sony walkman, portable CD player, and now my smart phone. From day hikes into the canyons, to viewing Eclipses; Eno's tonal offerings have been the soundtrack of my existence. He has embellished our lives with magic, calmness, beauty, and quiet euphoria. He has orchestrated moments that whisper, shimmer, glow, release, and become centered.

I miss my friend Bert. He died of AIDS twenty five years ago. He was a creative genius like Mr. Eno. I miss him so much.

I'm listening to this without any kind of backstory, i found it and decided to listen.

Pro Sitter Tip: If someone's having a bad trip, play them this.

I love the comments here. I've been an Eno fan since the early '70s and everything he does touches me. God bless you all.

I remember 8 years ago that I find myself always listening to this while studying medicine. I did it almost everyday, every studying session while drinking tea and smoking cigarettes. Now I am married and with a kid. My kid and I listen to this now as I try to make her fall asleep.

So many nice stories in the comment section. but I don't have one. I have failed at most everything I've tried, but I love music, and being here makes me happy, for just a little while.

[FeetOfRabbit]

I love all of your stories. It is 21:28 as im writing this, im in my bed planning on sleeping soon. The little street by my is barely lit up by a couple living room lights and street lamps. And just through a gap in the roofs I can see one small light, and behind it complete black. It's a very stressful and scary time in my life, but it's moments like these that remind me it will end soon enough. God bless you all ❤

I've been through the emotional wringer my whole life. I've gone from abusive home to abusive relationship to broken home to just broken... I've questioned and doubted my motives and goals time and time again, wondered if I've hurt others or if they've hurt me... But sitting here, enjoying this blissful calm, this slice of serenity nestled into the internet, I realize I've only ever wanted to share peace and love to those I encounter.

Every time I play my fave games or listen to my fave albums or watch my fave shows, I wish to share the feelings they give me with others. I wish to spread positivity and warmth across others with creativity.

Thank you, universe, for sending me this direction. Another commenter here said that music, art, stories, etc. is the closest we've got to psychic communication.

I usually don't leave comments like this, I just scroll through and observe, but I don't want to observe anymore. I want to play a role in how positive and loved people feel.

Today is just the beginning, and I wish good fortune and lots of love to anyone who happens to feel the same way I did. You deserve it. Be creative, be heard, and have fun doing it. Everything else will follow afterwards.

Listening to this on a minibus in Hong Kong, on the way home after 12 hours in the office. My life could be so simple yet over the years I've collected complications that I'm now welded too. This gives me hope that a simpler life isn't far away.

[MyEyesBled]

I suffer from severe injuries to my head/brain/eyes & ears... As a result I live with severe chronic migraines w/aura, cluster headaches, head crushing pain, balance disorder, severe lightheadedness, maddening nonstop tinnitus, blinding eye pain, distorted vision loss ... ENO has helped me refocus away from this agony to a much deeper realm of Peace... thank you Brian! ☮️

After having listened to this halfway through and thoroughly enjoying my experience thus far, i suddenly realize that i have coincidentally landed on this on a Thursday aftenoon.
