The 'Everywhere At The End of Time' Iceberg, Explained

Happy holidays! This is my last video of 2020. I hope you enjoy my explanation of the various theories and information which has surfaced about the “Everywhere At The End of Time” album presented in an iceberg diagram, even if it is quite a niche subject. More, better videos are coming in 2021.

One million views. I cannot thank you all enough for watching this video and giving such nuanced discussion on a morbid but important topic. In retrospect, there are a lot of things that I would do differently if I were to remake this video, but overall I am still happy with the final product as it is now. Thank you for motivating me to pursue my passion and continue making content through some of the most emotionally difficult and creatively burnout periods of my life. I hope to continue 2021 with more ambitious and in-depth projects, but suggestions for topics are always welcome!

Thank you again, and may the ballroom remain eternal.

My mom made a theory, the final image is not cardboard with tape or a blank canvas, it’s a photo on the other side, due to memory loss you can’t see it

funny that an album about dementia is an unforgettable experience

Missed opportunity to say "Level 6 is without description"

It's been almost a year since I discovered Everywhere at the End of Time, and almost a year since I started working at a memory care facility, where most residents there have severe dementia. I was sort of nervous going into this job. I thought it was going to be as depressing as this music. And, sure, to an extent, this music can describe certain residents at my facility. Some of them are sort of aware that they are losing their memory, and it's sad to see. But generally, everyone there is very happy, and I've learned what their favourite jokes are so I can say them the next day and hear them laugh at it like they've never heard it before. I appreciate this album deeply. I discovered it right when my grandmother forgot who I was. But it's important to have a sense of humour with people going through this disease. You can be yourself, 100% without fear of being judged. You can be as friendly or as strange, humorous or as funny as you'd like. Because in a day, and in some cases, a few minutes, they'll forget any embarrassing or stupid thing you've done and remain your friend, as long as you're friendly to them.

Rule 43:if it exists there's an ice berg of it

Dementia is so depressing and I hope modern science will eradicate it

[equanimoux]

dementia is like when your trying to remember a dream. The more you think about it the more it fades away untill eventually it’s gone. The memory of the dream starts to deteriorate and then your just left with disappointment.

Theirs a video on YouTube of the 2008 USS Oklahoma survivor’s reunion and in the first minute a Mr. Paul Goodyear described the following, “We got one man in Eastern Texas, he’s in a nursing home, he cannot remember his wife, he cannot remember his children, he cannot remember his family, anything. He can’t remember anything except he could tell you everything that happened those ten minutes of December 7th, that’s just how deeply that is etched in everyone’s mind”.

I once accidentally fell asleep listening to the album. After being woken up at 4:30 am to E1 playing, I were not having a clue in the who or in the fuck world where I was for a solid couple of minutes. I will never make that mistake again.

"No songs later than Stage 1 are played"
Dude thank you so much

"Everywhere at the end of time" is the best video I ever saw, yet I never want to see it again.

2:09 this man doesn’t look like he traumatized millions of listeners

[turtleman]

God anytime I hear even a snippet of music from this album it brings back the giant wave of sad anxiety I got the first time

[thehound]

I’m so glad that this masterpiece has an iceberg theory

i work as a caretaker
sometimes when im at the alzheimers/dementia wing i lose myself and feel like im a patient of the facility

My grandfather passed last year due to complications with Parkinson's disease. Up until he was bedridden in a hospital, breathing shallow gasps in pain as his organs shut down, his memory was sharp as a knife. Even at 86 years of age, he only needed minor hints to remember events in his life. He had served in the Navy during Vietnam. He managed to hold out through Veteran's Day, passing the next morning in his sleep. Rest in peace, Conley. You were, and still are, my hero.

I wish there were artists who would do something similar to the Caretaker but...IDK...happy? I like to listen to this album backwards as in Stage 6 - Stage 1 and I like to see it as someone who has been in a terrible accident, or suffering from something serious like depression and how despite it getting better over time there is that lingering pain that is felt while recovering that may not go away, but you are alive.

Not the sample but at least the origin of “Friends Past Reunited” has been found. It’s a rare choir recording of J.S. Bach’s choir piece “Lasst mich ihn nur noch einmal küssen”, from his St. Luke Passion BWV 246.
I’m German myself and interestingly, the text is about someone who wishes to give their deceased friend one last kiss before they put him into his grave. The final minute of silence was already quite indicative of the caretaker’s death, but the choir before that singing about death is like the final nail in the coffin, if you will.

Stage one is the only one where I’m comfortable
