Retire (final)

This piece samples Phone Call by Jon Brion from the film Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

[Northern]

I can’t describe this sound. My town I live in was evacuated from a wildfire last year and I stayed behind helping with evacuation and firefighting efforts and the first night I ran around my house packing what I wanted to save and I remember coming into my house and this song was playing on my stereo from my playlist I had left on from the morning before work. The emotion I got hearing this song in the moment was a mix of impending doom, as well as a sense of surrealism; it was a situation you often see on the news but not one you’d ever think you’d live yourself. This song put it into perspective for me in that moment as I stood and listened to it.

This song feels like leaving the movie theater after watching a really good movie

[Getaway_Fan_]

This song feels like looking at the clouds when they're super detailed and yearning for a past you never had and a future you could never achieve. Both wonder and heartbreak, relief yet grief. A feeling of wanting to be surrounded by those clouds, to see the beauty every day, to be as free as a bird, to soar above the clouds during golden hour and watch the sun paint the clouds amber.

*retire:*

*1. Leave one's job and cease to work, typically upon reaching the normal age for leaving employment.*

*2. Withdraw to or from a particular place.*


With these official definitions in mind, it makes me wonder what Alvedons purpose was for making this song. His presence is amusing yet subtle all the same. It scares me.

This song is so peaceful, and to me it represents the flow of life. As us humans live, experiencing everything good and bad within our existence, we inevitably die in peace at the very end, finally leaving the world and all of its troubles for good.

Our bodies *retire, * and our souls finally rest for good in Heaven. Whether we make it there or not depends on how we live in the flesh today. THATS the meaning of this song to me.

I don't know if you are alive or up with the lord Alvedon, but I truly thank you for this heavenly instrumental melody. I've studied, slept, and prayed with this music.

Thank you, and God bless you.

This reminds me of the end of a long summer when the weather starts to worsen and the nights start getting longer, and you're reminiscing on everything you did

[hectxr]

thanks to whoever made this song. I’ve been just spiraling downwards with my mental health and nobody around me really knows. but listening to this and reading the comments of people going through the same thing all together made me actually cry for the first time in like forever i’ve been needing it. the world is a beautiful place and the mind is the most interesting thing on it

[destroyinglag]

this is underrated. this song just has such an unexplainable good vibe to it.

[KingAges]

When I listen to this song, I think of all the time that has passed. All the people that I've met are moving on with their lives. Which just leaves me. What am I going to do? What *should* I do? Seeing everyone else moving on with their lives and doing whatever they desire. Makes me feel left out. As if I'm wasting time. The rapid movement of time scares me. Then I go into my thoughts, reminisce about the past, the great times I had as a child. Missing those times. I then enter a sad state. Wishing I can relive the specific parts of my past. I am scared to know what will happen in the future. *This song triggers something*

It feels like I’m falling through time

[RantePlayz]

Recently moved out of a house that I lived in for 8 yrs. Me and my siblings grew up so much during that time. We lost our mom before moving there and I'm just glad we grew up strong. That house blessed us and I can't ever thank that home enough.

[LUUUKKE]

Truly one of the hardest feel song I have ever heard. Music that doesn’t need explanation or words just feeling. Thank you for this masterpiece of a song

[soapyb]

this feels like a bittersweet ending to a life. with tears in their eyes and a smile on their face, a person who knows will die reminisces about their life

This song used to remind me of how every autumn I slowly drift back into a bad mental state. September was specifically a really horrible month for me. It was just one thing after another. I even relapsed because things got so bad. Currently I’m looking back at how much I’ve grown and I feel happy with where I am so I’m just appreciating the dark times of my life because it got me here. This song now just reminds me of how at peace I’m becoming with my mind and myself as a whole.

If going through a bittersweet goodbye was a sound this would be it

[calebonline]

plssss bring this back to streaming services. an all time fav.

[revengeeeeeee]

эта песня звучит как все мои внутренние переживания, порывы эмоций, одновременно граничащие с пустотой и мыслями о бессмысленности моего существования

[meganfairchild]

there’s so many things i feel while listening to this. so many scenarios i imagine myself in.

[basanoshku]

эта музыка напоминает мне то, как я с мамой в 4 часа утра с вокзала еду в такси домой, рассматриваю дома и вообще это тоскливая атмосфера. хочется плакать.

будто опять нахожусь в том месте где снятся хорошие сны
