I feel I need to share my experience hearing this piece for the first time since it made such an impact on me..

I was in the car with my two daughters (5 and 8 years old), we had parked outside a grocery store and my wife was inside the store at the moment.
The kids were in the back seat fighting over a toy and my temper was just about to run out, when I got a notification on my phone saying that Louis Cole's latest track was about to go live on YT.
I turned around and told my kids to "stop fighting and listen to this new Louis Cole track with me instead!". Since my kids also like LC they actually stopped fighting and we looked at the 10 second count down on my phone together.
The video started and I was completely blown away! None of us said a word during the whole three and a half minutes the video was playing!
When the video ended I felt really emotional and had tears running down my cheeks when my oldest daughter calmly and sincerly said "That was really beautiful...". Her words went straight into my heart and for this moment I am forever grateful!

Thank you Louis!
Your talent, artistery and uniqueness is something that rarely comes around and we're so lucky that you wan't to share it all with us, from this masterpiece to the stuff where you're ”just” clowning around…
I hope you are feeling better, cuz if there is someone who deserves complete wellbeing, it's you. Take the time you need, we’ll be here patiently waiting for you when You are ready to praise us with your creations.

"whats making you cry?"
*sniff* "nothing..."

[lavartusprodeo]

I can recall a rather recent interview of Louis where he talked about the 4th movement of Mahler's 5th Symphony being one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I didn't know that symphony, so I gave it a listen and boy, the 4th movement indeed pierces right through your soul. And once you have listened to it, you can feel it shine through "nothing". Same kind of awestruck nothingness. Thanks Louis. Your music has helped me beyond words, and I know I am not the only one out here thinking that. nothing is a masterpiece.

Can't wait to eventually hear Cole's Symphony No. 1.

[leonidnikishin]

Nothing, just a heart-wrenchingly beautiful homage to Mahler from one of the most talented musicians of the 21st century. Playing this piece was very, very special.

The world is a mess but some make it a better place. Thanks Louis❤

[silkenshadow]

Someone hire Louis to score a film, I'm begging

[Supermarket-Music]

Thanks for writing a song about the thing that'll stop us from listening to Louis Cole

[wpcouch]

Louis’ orchestral writing has gotten sooo incredibly good. This is absolutely beautiful

There are still very distinctive “Louis” elements.. phrasing and chords that def identify this as his and tie it back to earlier songs but this is a standalone piece of beauty

Well done Louis.. i’ve loved seeing and hearing your work grow and mature and I can’t wait to see what’s next

[minigrok]

This is Louis Cole becoming a musician for the generations. What a delightful and timeless piece.

[ALWTunes]

Doesn't matter if he's in a port a potty or a concert hall. Dude just has it!

[Drekromancer]

He's evolving, and we're lucky enough to be along for the ride. What a beautiful day to be alive.

[DanielMatulich]

Unironically one of the greatest musical talents of our age. Thank you for this. Thank you for everything with Knower. You're proof that the arts can thrive even when the world wants mass appeal and easy wins.

Thank you.

Imagine composing and arranging something like this, and then hearing it be performed for the first time by an orchestra. That must be so heavenly.

[xaviernelson]

Louis Cole has made and continues to make history in music with his unparalleled talent for conveying sensitivity. An artist I would call a genius, someone who will be remembered for a long time...
This symphony gave me chills...

[BloomBat]

Love that shot of Louis at 2:56, I wonder how he's feeling at this moment.

[Junglemannn]

Louis Cole would've been a world famous composer had he been born 300 years ago

[dwmead]

That shot of Genevieve eyes closed just experiencing the music made me feel overcome with calmness for some reason.

[SimonLoveridge]

I've had such a busy frantic day and I just stopped for a minute and listened to this and time stood still.
