I can’t feel you
There’s no trace
Lights will burn out
Blood to clay

Falling, drifting
Slips away
We will never
Be the same

Then the quiet
Moment came
Raised to life
Then passed away

We will never
Be the same
Lights will burn out
Blood to clay

My mom had pancreas cancer, knowing it would catch up with her she attempted suicide minutes after my dad left home for work. She died in the ambulance. I always wondered what life would be if I had my mom, how much happier my dad would be. He took care of me and I grew up taking care of him. I’ve never met someone that can relate. I’ve lived so long in solitude. Never being able to say something like this to anyone without anonymity out of fear of disassociation. I come back to songs from Hammock like this looking for something that I’ve never had a chance to feel. Every time I listen to their songs there's a pit that forms in my chest.

this is not a song, this is health food for the brain

Today, I was walking home in the rain and was listening to this and I couldn't get over how beautiful this band is and how insane I would go if I couldn't listen to them anymore. I looked up at the sky and smiled, feeling so alive and lucky to have found Hammock. I'm a very passionate person -always have been. Hammock to me is full of passion and splendor and I just can't picture my life without them. Hammock is the one band where I could easily fall in love with ANY of their songs. I can't tell you how many people I have showed this band to. And every time, they give me the same response "I'm glad I heard this band". Hammock has the power to change someone's perspective or make them thankful for their life...I don't know. If I could recommend any song of theirs, it would be this one.

This song makes me want to be a better person.

[BleekFutures]

This song slowly, but completely breaks me apart...

[yessicaisgone]

To me "quiet explosion" means an internal and meaningful change.
This will be the soundtrack of this new life I'm starting. ❤

If and when I ever go to heaven. I want this to be my entrance music.

This song gives me so many emotions. It makes me feel incredibly nostalgic for my childhood and youth, it makes me want to disconnect myself from society and explore nature, and other towns that I don't even know the name of. It makes me feel like I am sleeping during the rain with my lover beside me, or that I am reaching the end of my life and I know that I will die soon. It's an incredibly beautiful song. I know the whole "play this at my funeral" is a bit of a joke but seriously... play this at my funeral.

When the choir kicks in, I get so overwhelmed!

“You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won’t mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever…. connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.”
― C. JoyBell C.

Reading comments below and my faith in humanity grow again and again ....may God bless all people the survivors and fighters and those who lost for a moment but will rise up again and again...

[Hanwarrr]

It kind of opens up an emotion you didn't know you had..for me it's like having the universe explained to me in a brief sentence, and the realisation kicks in. And you're left in utter shock at how genuinely indescribable life really is. Fantastic. Hands down.

Hammock's music is very special to me. I never could properly put into words the answer to why I like it so much, but I believe that my attempts are getting better. For me, it's music that seems to slow down time, making me appreciate life with an almost unbearable intensity. When I listen to Hammock, I feel love even when thinking about the most insignificant experience that I had. It magnifies everything, making memories or the present moment so full of meaning. For years I wondered why. "What is it about this music? Why do I feel so emotional when listening to it? And what are these emotions?". I believe that Hammock's music increases my awareness of our limited existence - the fact that all that we know and love will one day, cease to exist. It's a sadness that is present in every moment of my life, and when it gets increased, makes me see beauty even in the most trivial things. Extreme beauty that can only be sensed on top of a deeply sad foundation. Sometimes I struggle with the fact, that all of this is not forever. But I guess is that fact, that is responsible for making us feel love and have the need to express it - it's what makes us human.

What really gave me the chills alongside this song is how people here shared their feelings, thoughts, and stories. I am truely happy just reading those comments while listening. God knows how much i cried while reading them but i’m still happy and proud of everyone here. I hope everything works out for you all. I will make sure to mention you all in my prayers. To those who came here to cry, or the ones who lost someone, i am very sorry and i hope god protects you always and eases everything for you. God is merciful, don’t worry, he will listen to you whenever you reach out, just talk your heart out to him.

I've driven a thousand miles
I walked across a million grains of sand on the seashore
I have laid under a billion raindrops
Thunder lightning and sunsets
All while listening to this
My dreams are never going to be the same again...

[Somadream]

I truly believe that there is nothing on earth as beautiful as this song.

[onepoorsimsie]

[Mcgif]

This music is from another universe. Crazy!

When I listen to Oblivion Hymns, I know that Hammock understands.
