I found this song when my grandfather had passed away. It gives me feelings I can't describe. Not only sadness, also joy, excitedness and willpower. I still miss the man after 5 years. But I'm at peace with it, just like he's found his eternal peace.
I love what music can do to man.

Mr. Wim Mertens, I don't know if you read your video comments on youtube, but I humbly pray that this gets to you somehow. I am but a simple music appreciator with absolutely no knowledge of how to play ANY instrument. I first heard this musical piece, 'Often a Bird' in a documentary on the golden ratio and its omnipresence in nature. I was left speechless by the sublime gravity of the music. I was extremely fascinated by the music and visualization of that clip that I searched for a few months online for its authors (I have a bad habit of not remembering the titles of the programs that I watch). Today, I finally have your name and the name of your wonderful piece. That not-so-ordinary evening, while watching and listening to that clip, I suddenly felt a spark of wonderment that I have forgotten long, long ago. It was like being a child again. Fascinated by how a bird can fly or how water can fall from the sky... It's a very precious and joyful feeling to experience the wonderment of a child, even for a few minutes. To me, that short clip with your music was very powerful because it allowed me to have realizations that can't be produced while being an obedient member of today's society. Having said all of that... I just want to express my deepest thanks for being the creator of the instrument to my ( maybe spiritual and ) uplifting experience of simply recalling childhood 'wonderment...' Brief as it was. Thank you... thank you. Humbly and sincerely, Isabela Razo, a new fan from the Philippines

Wim Mertens, un très grand auteur compositeur interprète de nationalité Belge 🇧🇪, ce thème musical mondialement connu, employé dans divers spots publicitaires et documentaires est magnifique saisissant et bouleversant, nous l'utiliseront avec mon épouse pour notre futur mariage 🤵👰 Et bravo à l'ensemble philarmonique qui a très bien joué cette symphonie 👏

During the course of one's lifetime, we come across but a few pieces of music which endeavour to capture the spirit of our selves in ways that cannot be described with words. This is one of those songs. Thank you Mr. Mertens. You are truly a master of your craft. I hope I am fortunate enough to one day see you perform live.

@VRB waarom denkt u dat ??
Carla Vela
Yes 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Pavel Gromnic
Reading what some of these composers write about their music, their art, and the possession which overtakes them in their music and their lives is a way to see past the phenomenon of the music we hear, as much as we just eat it up. The revelations give you an opportunity to recognize their beauty as people among us.Look upon their works and despair. Most of us never put back into the pot of life even a fraction that artists like Mertens, Glass or Oliver Sacks have. It's lucky for us that we hear them and nod our heads in the general direction of the message .

La musique de Wim Mertens m'inspire beaucoup, en général. Elle me semble être une poésie, un langage de l'âme, c'est beau, merci.

This music awakes memories from my infant days in me. I remember my grandmother was going out with me, I was laying in a stroller and she was pushing me around the neighborhood. I remember looking at the sky and seeing all the trees and branches, the clouds, the bird noises. I remember the feeling of being in the presence of someone who loved me unconditionally. I was loved because I was breathing, because I existed, because I came into this world. I remember the days when I was about 3 years old and my grandma was telling me about life and death, and how I started to cry because I got scared. The more I write about the experience that is rendered to me when listening to this beautiful master piece, the more intense it gets and I can't put it into words anymore. Miss you grandma, you're now in the place that you told me about almost 30 years ago. I will never forget you and I hope you're ok now in heaven.

Wow, what an absolutely beautiful and powerful piece of music and what a performance!!! This is music that makes me feel as though my own spirit is taking flight and if I close my eyes, I am like the bird, too, flying high above the land in my mind. Brilliant!! Mr. Mertens, you are a musical genius and your music is very well structured and highly emotive! BRAVO!! ~Jackie

Maybe it's because I first heard this beautiful piece with Cristolbal Vila's great video "Nature by Numbers", but this music always moves me to tears. In front of my eyes, I see how things get organized out of an original chaos, until they form complicated organisms, one of which at some point spreads its wings and flies into the sky. So simple, and yet, so great.
Themismaya
I have the same feeling, it brings tears to my eyes, tears of joy.
Edric L.
Take up high, don't be low, Spread your wings and give a go. To starlight skies of darkly blue, See the world of better view. Often birds, receive such height, Countless gems that pass from light.

Very beautiful!!
