The Caretaker - A2 - We Don't Have Many Days (1hour loop)

Dislikes count: 3

my favorite track from Everywhere At The End of Time's Stage 1. Feels like something i could listen in some psychological horror media as a main character remembers (or tries to) past events.

I’m not kidding, I can imagine a whole story to this. I’m thinking some old lady in a theater, maybe during WWII. Years ago, she was a prima ballerina. Her boyfriend used to stand near the doors and watch her. One night this song was played. He had tears in his eyes. But then the war came to her country, and he was drafted. She picked up a job in a jet manufacturing facility to make ends meet—and she never danced again. She was going to propose to her boyfriend after the war but he never came back. Many years passed and she grew old. Her niece wanted to surprise her by taking her to that old theater again. Up on that same stage she danced on years ago, she remembers this very song. She also remembers the flawless gold ring she was going to propose to her boyfriend with. She looks to the doorway, as if still expecting to see him walk through…

I want this tune played on a piano at my wedding as I walk down the aisle to the man whom I will grow old with, but also have the song played at my funeral as I lay in my casket in a beautiful black gown. Asleep, forever.

[RainyDayDance]

i imagine this is what hell would be like for me. listening to the same melody over and over again for hours on end with nothing else.

This makes me think of seeing my best friend again.

[Sarah-cjhe]

This soundtrack reminds me on how cruel the world is and everything and it makes me rethink about living..

This song reminds me of when I really looked forward to seeing my grandparents, and spending the weekend with them :(

Heres i story i made up while listening to this:

A family portrait is shown with all the members faces baring a smile except the eldest child, he has a blank face with tiny frown. Then we span out of our portraits to see a run down house with the portrait, the house is completely empty and abandoned; windows broken, some wooden boards missing, all rooms are empty and dried out except one. We return back to the original room we found ourselves in and a table has appeared with a cassette player and a note reading: “Press play.”. You press play and the voice of the eldest child starts to speak: “This message is directed at you, brother. I wanted to apologise for the missed opportunities to bond. I’ve been haunted by a great sadness for quite some time now. If your playing this cassette, I’m already most likely gone, for good. There is no chance of repairing the damage i have caused to the things around me. I just wanted to say that i have always loved you, even though we only shared such a little amount of moments i shall cherish them even after my days pass and our lights will flicker and burn out. I only wish i could at least hug you one last time before I depart from this world.” And the tape ends with this line: “I love you.” And stops. You look up and see the memories you made in this house it’s like you’ve been transported back to the time of the childhood home where you had lived. And then we see a sickly old man spending his final moments reliving his childhood memories accompanied be this song. Then the next moment we see him being lowered into the ground in a coffin. His casket is then coved with dirt making a new grave beside some other graves. The camera spans out to show more details of the graves and it’s revealed that the lineage has died along with the recently buried man as they all lay beside one another to find true peace.

"What does it matter if my heart breaks?"
I say while looking into the great beyond.

[stormflavored]

This music feels like you're content with the fact you are gonna die and that its ok. It's one of my favourites.

This sounds like taking a walk through a serene garden with your significant other, it perfectly fits the melancholy feelings of the first stage

[RealMiloNoJoke]

honestly, the music is so relaxing. It makes me do my sleep too.

[ClownBoomer]

I have an OC who’s favorite song is this song. Me and my friends collabed to write a story involving said OC, and it was genuinely so wholesome I cried. Listening to this makes me super happy, and because it’s looped I can listen for a long time without having to put the loop setting on.

The specific event this reminds me of is my old friend in elementary who was a bit deranged due to his mental illness. I was never quite sure what he had, but I remember I loved him as a friend, even still, and when we split ways come middle school, I had heard of his death. That killed me, but this loop is such good fuel for my drawings, when I want to focus, stuff like that. The bittersweetness of this simple piano loop shakes me to my core, and I'm sure it has reminded you of someone or something special too.

"say that everything is still okay, its all i want to know."

[BlackFlagHeathen]

The lyrics from the original song that this melody lines up with is fitting here; we’re still in stage one, you’re starting to feel like something isn’t quite right, you’re starting to notice small gaps and fuzzies in some of your most important and cherished memories. You’re repeating things you don’t remember already saying and your loved ones are insisting that you already said that, even though you insist that no, you didn’t. You tell yourself everything is fine, you’re just getting older, these things happen. But you can’t shake this slight apprehension in the back of your mind, this impending bit of dread, that something is actually horribly wrong. And your family has noticed too, and they’re also concerned. So one day, your kids, now adults with kids of their own, your spouse having passed away years ago, take you to the doctor to discuss your concerns with them. They run some tests, and send you home, letting you know they’ll have the results within a week or so. But just a couple days later, your doctor calls you, and tells you that you and your family need to come in again today, they test results came back and they have something they need to tell you in person. Now you’re filled with pure dread. You’re in denial. You beg the doctor to just tell you right there on the phone; tell me everything is still ok, that’s all I want to know.

"Say that everything is still okay
That's all I want to know.."

[avayanepinak]

I have a horrible memory, when I’m not around my family for a while I start to forget what they looked like. Plus, my childhood is just a blur and little pieces. Like Inside Out. I just wish I didn’t forget what the only people I love look like.

this keeps me calm, helps me ignore the heaps of studies and homework i have
