This song represents such a weird time for me. It was 12 years ago, I was 16 and still adjusting from my parents' divorce . I always liked pot but I started using stimulants. Coke, mdma, meth. But I also had one foot in the innocent nerdy world. Harry Potter, john green, "nerdfighters" stuff. I would read Harry Potter on coke, listening to this and feel such shame. Such A weird combo of feelings
The hits of the piano seem less Impactful and mind altering than they did then, but I attribute that to the fact I had never heard music like this before that age. It was a big deal. I loved NIN as much as I loved eluvium, if that makes sense
But I listened to the drugs..I listened to all the horrible things instead of listening to rhe beauty.
And now here I am at 28, just gone through the worst break up of my life and due my debt, I have to move back home with my mother.
I'm feeling so much right now. But the essence of this music contains a version of my 16 year old self. His feelings are in there, and I feel heavy-weighted poison in my stomach as I remember.
Your know that childish Christmas morning feeling? Imagine the thr drug addled opposite of that. I haven't used those drugs in years but I am still.dealing with the consequences of my addiction everyday.
I come back to thus music all the time not just because it's great, but tonight I feel like im hearing it for the first time again.
My life Imploded on mt recently and yet I realize I have an opportunity. I can change everything. The world is at my fingertips again and in gonna take advantage of it

This is the only song that truly, deeply, brings me back to the most beautiful, depressing, loving, chaotic and honest moments of my entire adult life. I hate to love it. I will always come back. It will always mean a world I can't explain. Many hours. Many nights. Stretches of time that seem to last whatever you see as acceptable for a life. Thank You. It is all so bittersweet, but Thank You.

This was the only song I could meditate to...I swear I would have out of body experiences meditating to this song

Me to. Lost my job and went through a period of wondering how to pay bills and feed my pets. A friend helped me get my cdl. I started to rebuild by driving over the road for a year. Heard this song one late night some time in mid 2012. Played the crap out of and other songs like it on those long lonely nights that I missed being home. Every so often it draws me back and I think about those times. 11 years and I've since gotten everything straightened out except in that time I lost 3 of my 4 pets in old age.

Whenever I listen to this song I can definitely see the picture painted here. An indoor pool split up into laps, an enormous window the size of the entire left wall so you can see the moon ground and stars and the faint glow of tiny earth. It's dark in the pool and only one person is doing laps back and forth, but the light of the moon reaches inside of the room. The stars stretch above, and that's all there is to it. Love it.

Im guessing it would have centripetal force to keep the water in the pool :D

Sometimes an album can be so good it will leave you speechless. This is one of those albums
mike toppe
agreed. an all time favorite
Sam Hall
Absolutely
Christopher Peixoto
I agree. It's comforting to know that sounds can reconnect me with actual feelings; feelings that I may not have felt for a while.

Charlie Brooker's Dead Set introduced me to this song in 2008, and it was devastating, elegiac, haunting, and beautiful all at once and I had no idea what I was listening to. I stumbled across it again only 3 weeks ago in a search for ambient music and am so happy to have found it
