Aphelion (July 4, 2020) | Sleeping At Last

"This piece of music is the score of sorts to the last difficult 6 months. Woven throughout, there are tiny sounds in tribute to the news of the pandemic, protests, riots, the launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9, (even a nod to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.) And snippets of sound from every month of 2020 so far." –Ryan O'Neal, Sleeping At Last

Happy Fourth of July to all of my friends here in the USA!!
I was not expecting to hear a brand-new Astronomy track today, but I sure am glad I did! This one is GORGEOUS!!
Also, can any of you try to help me find the "nod to Animal Crossing: New Horizons" hidden in this track? I can't seem to find it! :D
I love you all so much. Be safe out there and remember to wear your masks!!
Love, TIM

I think this is the first Astronomy song with actual discernible lyrics. Makes it very unique in my eyes. It humanizes it in the way his other Astronomy tracks aren’t. Definitely a good way to start the second volume of Astronomy tracks.

Sleeping at last makes the music, that is beyond heaven. You can hear the whole universe in it

I had to hold back from listening to this instantly when I saw the announcement on my phone (clearly took me a few days). I constantly looked at the video, debated if I should push play and eventually would stop myself. I don't know how to describe it, but I knew this song would leave a lasting feeling within me. I think we've all felt it before. That, homesick feel. Homesick for something that doesn't exactly exist nor is tangible. And, sure enough, as I listen, I feel homesick.

But... I think I know why. It has a sense of comfort of what was, what happened and what is. Something happened. A lot happened. And I don't think we can go back to the home we once had. Things are changing and we are alive in it. I'm homesick, but we can survive the change. We've made it really far... the title makes sense. We can come back around. But, it'll be different..

Aphelion, when the Earth is it's furthest from the Sun

That part right at the end "healing begins" comes in so softly and so impactful!! WOW. 🙏🏾 Thank you.

[aipooalice]

No matter how messed up this year can be, we still find the joy in a new or old SaL song ❤️

[yeocat]

Never loved anything more than Sleeping At Last... So magical, thank you for everything

[lesxsal]

This song hurts a little. 2020 is so messed up and I have dedicated my life to saving the world so there is freedom all over America. Sleeping at Last really is the best.

[barbaro]

I love Sleeping At Last's astronomy tracks!!

[calionkintanuru]

May this song be immortalized in the hearts and memory in those fortunate enough to hear its melody

[julak]

I feel far away
I feel far away
I feel far away
A million miles away

I feel it in my soul
Aphelion
Aphelion
Aphelion
Healing begins
Healing begins

[sareelite]

[fadhilmauls]

I love Sleeping At Last's music, every single one of it.

[elaineford]

!! Im so excited for a new song!! Today is my friend's birthday so he has a SAL song with his birthday in the title now which is the coolest thing ever ! I love this song, I like how it's the first Astronomy song to have lyrics in this way

[emmett]

I love this so much just because the 4th is my birthday, after everything crazy going on this year it’s the best birthday present.

[anastaciaviveiros]

Perfeito como sempre, SAL salva nossas mentes e corações há muito tempo, mas eu sou muito grata à essas obras nesse momento, são um bálsamo no meio de tanta dor e desesperança

[hanaals]

Why am i cryinggg sooo much that is not okay sleeping at last stop doing that to mee 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[lavenderwhimsy]

I hear a bit of water splashing towards the end of the song. Maybe that’s the animal crossing sound that was mentioned? (They just released a new update that allows swimming) FYI: it’s at 2:15

Full moon tonight! This song is perfect
