“When the world ends, I want to scream into the chaos that I loved you more than anything, in hopes that the sound will continue to exist after everything stops.” - Mitch Welling

[MOTANU_OFFICIAL]

Mono no aware (物の哀れ?), literally "the pathos of things", and also translated as "an empathy toward things", or "a sensitivity to ephemera", is a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence (無常 mujō?), or transience of things, and both a transient gentle sadness (or wistfulness) at their passing as well as a longer, deeper gentle sadness about this state being the reality of life.

[siakuklis]

To me, this type of music, with ambient soundscapes and such, has a positive attitude even with low toned violins. I wish music like this was appreciated more so than songs with lyrics.

[Abradabingg]

I wish everyone in the world could listen to this at the same time

[Kurtford]

These scenes make me feel so cold and empty, but its underlying beauty just changes me

[golfwang]

a boy is walking through a grey, dead forest. When out of nowhere, he comes across a waterfall, but the water isn't falling. it instead is flowing upward, into the sky. the boy touches the water, and slowly starts to drift. He drifts up, away from earth, away from life. Into the light...

that's at least what I think of when I hear this masterpiece :')

[dex_]

I loved her more than anyone I have ever loved, before or since. But no amount of unconditional love could make her love me, and no goodbye could make me forget her.

I will love her until I forget to live.

[deepelements]

how can a sound make you feel so connected to everything and everyone... even with all the hate and evil in the world this music takes me to a peaceful place.

[Jakub]

This song is very emotional, make me cry..

[TIGIO]

To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wildflower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour

- William Blake -

This song had me crying buckets of tears.

[hailun]

This was released in 2009... And I just found out about it

[Reletr]

This is my favorite song in the world. If only everyone in the world could hear it

[onepoorsimsie]

best soundtrack i ever listened to in my entire life.
all its feelings hit me hard when i listen to it with headphones in the bus. i don't know why exactly at that moment. Maybe because i'd be watching people passing by and thinking many things like how my life coincidence with theirs, or like if i was late 5 minutes would all the future be the same, or if their life is as complex as mines, or how much our interests may vary, or i probably would be feeling so baffled by the way they probably have dreams and fears and billions of stories to tell.
I really love this soundtrack, regardless of the amazing video and story displayed behind it, it has its own story in my mind.

11 years later, I found this beautiful song. This feeling I’ve never felt is amazing. I wish everyone heard this at least once. You’re talent is so beautiful. Tank you for that Hammock, that’s amazing ❤️

[ditaamaliyah]

my interpretation of this video : the loneliness, the emptiness, the sadness, the hopeless, the cold, the lost childhood, the innocence.
I really like this music video! the director made it perfectly, and the sound is good. they both collaborate perfectly.

If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise you find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you
And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready, in heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned and walked away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do.
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
When I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
When I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home.
God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne
He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you”
Today your life on earth has passed but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last
And since each day is the same there’s no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
You have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts with out me don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.

At 4:54 when the violin starts to play, I just lose it...such art in this song, so much beauty this band holds...

[mopedroller]

Они нравились мне в юности, иногда включал их фоном. Лето, я дома, смотрю вечером на закат и перьевые облака, как и сегодня, спустя 20 с чем-то лет, посмотрел на закатные облака, а в голове фраза, название их песни Mono no aware, и вот я снова тут

[outfamee]

I miss you grandpa. I hope one day to see you again!
