  • Jakob is ace.....but when you add scenery like this to it? Perfection, in my book. And to the person who asked where the video was filmed, it was done in New Zealand.

  • where was it filmed`?

  • anyone know what musical instruments are used in this song?

  • @Randomnormality A guitar, a bass guitar, and some drums.

  • If you don't appreciate the vibes of Jakob theres something wrong with you ;)

  • This is the fucking song of the millenium.

  • @kilpauk .

    It is "IT"

  • If there is any f***ing superior being in this universe... MAKE JAKOB COME PLAY IN FRANCE !!!

  • I like to put on Jakob and read the Bible.

  • Loved them ever since i saw them at BDO when i was like 18 so almost 5 years ago

  • jig GOB GOB GOB

  • Goosebumps. Every single time. Fuck I adore this band.

  • Simply awesome

  • If you like Jakob, Helios, Hammock, Rachel's, Mogwai, God is an Astronaut, Eluvium, Goldmund, Explosions in the Sky, Boards of Canada, an other similar artists, you might like my music. I'd love some support. :)

  • I love this song...This is such a peaceful song, the atmosphere is amazing...The pics are breathtaking...Jakob is definitely one of the most underrated bands out there..But one of the most intense I know...!

    well..please dont see this as a spam, but I thought this might interest some of you..

    I found a band on youtube called "nyctalgia"

    If you've got the time, lsiten to their songs "Lost in timeless horizons" and "Faling into nothingness"

    Breathtaking, powerful songs by this young guy..

  • reminds me of a zombie movie where the main character finally found a plane after everything he knew was destroyed and all his loved ones were bitten or eaten. Now he's flying, trying to find a new place to live at.

  • @GRBPRO The only zombie movie ive seen that in is Resident Evil Afterlife

  • First time I heard this band was 6 years ago and their music ages like a fine wine. It will never be dated, EVER! This song stirs up the deepest emotions in me. Respect to Jakob and all their music it is simply phenomenal. The masses don't know what they're missing out on.

  • I'm still convinced this is the greatest song ever made :-P

  • i was looking for dubstep, but this is pretty cool too..

  • Does anybody know what type of esp Jeff plays and what type of pickups it has?

  • @ApotheosiZ It is an early version of ESP Horizon. They are sold with Seymour Duncan JB (Bridge) / '59 (Neck). Also the account "themethodisclear" belongs to Jeff, you can ask him personally.

    Thumbz up motherf#$%ers!

  • 1st off, thank you very much you are officially awesome if I could I would give you a thousand sunrises but I can't so you'll have to settle with one, 2ndly how did you know about the guitar and account? (unfortunately he hasn't signed into that username for a years so...) And 3rdly what else do you know about his rig? I know he uses a Hiwatt amp head but I'm curious about what type of delay and OD/distortion he uses because I'm in the middle of a guitar rig overhaul. 千日の出 ;-)

  • one of the best post rock band i discovered recently

    Search "So above so below - Remembrance of things past"

    :)"

  • Loved em at TOOL melbourne

  • @Dillzism - They were awesome. Never heard them before but very glad I have now. Love finding great new music...........

  • @Dillzism Same here. I'd never heard of them before the Tool gig, but was blown away by them!

  • I really get sick of people bringing up Explosions In The Sky with every band related to post-rock. They didn't invent the genre. There were plenty of bands around before them like Bark Psychosis and Slowdive doing this, and there are a ton of bands doing it better than they do...Jakob and God Is An Astronaut being two of them.

  • beautiful, inspiring, evoking, engaging, enormous, defying- words that came to mind listening to this song

  • The thing is that Jakob sound a lot like Explosions in the Sky. So that does not make them unique or original, but their music is still quite good. It's a trip. Actually it's best not to use the word "trip". It's a journey. A journey through the mind and emotions. It's special in that way, but it's not really entertainment. And that is a good thing.

  • Karnivool should be opening for tool, these guys are great, but for an aussie tour, I would've expected an aussie band.

  • @IvoninT Totally agree. Mind you I was at Tool last night at BEC and Jakob were definitely amazing (hence why I'm here). Honestly though, walking out of Tool, as amazingly talented and beyond good they are, I always walk out of a Karnivool gig feeling a better vibe. I think the Vool's music must speak to me more.

  • Cannot wait to see these guys open for tool!

  • These guys are opening for TOOL in Australia. It's cool to see TOOL do this because they always lead me to cool band like these guys.

  • The HDU guys are mean too.

    Also, anyone listen to The American Dollar? A bit different but still amazing

  • Nobody does it fucking better

  • Comment removed

  • Team Edward!^^

  • I love Jakob.

    66,666th view. Cool.

  • Jakob captures the human experience in music better than anyone else. I'm studying to be a Christian theologian and missionary and though this is likely a secular band, I think Jakob really relates the essence of God in their music.

  • @Hyenashowl Are you serious? You think Jakob really relates the essence of God in their music? I think Jakob really relates the essence of humanity and emotion. Keep your spirituality to yourself.

  • @Excrematorium When I listen to this, I feel like this is what God would listen to. This is an opinion and I'm entitled to it. I did also say that it "captures the human experience." This forum is for discussing the music and its effect on us and it affects me on a metaphysical level. So stop trolling.

  • @Hyenashowl Music is God, just speaking in a different language

  • as they say all sounds are music weather you like it or not it is still music and to all who say its bad you are jealous that you cant make beautiful music like this

  • Giving me chills. Making my eyes full of tears. Making me happy. Making me relaxed. Making me unaware of time, making my mind go beyond the limits of the everyday, make my body shiver and my mind is filled with new hope for mankind. This is true art.

  • I've heard they're opening for the separate Tool shows in Australia.

  • I've heard they're opening for the seperate Tool shows in Australia.

  • there music appeals to anyone who is open minded and appreciates beauty.

    they dont have any lyrics, so its not like it will speak to one person and not to another.

    and they dont push a band image to personify with or attach themselves to any particular sub-culture.

    its vast and its huge. im shure if you gave anyone a copy of this

    to put on before they go to bed, and turn off the lights that it would be a worthwhile listening experience.

  • @anaemiabag i remember when i had my first beer..

  • @anaemiabag

    What a GREAT comment !!

    I like this band, by the way..jst recently discovered them.. and have shared the discovery with a good friend of mine who ALSO appreciates and knows really GOOD music!

    thanks again,

    :~]

  • If everyone listened to music like this it wouldn't be as special as it is. That's why I love how underground it is. =)

  • I visited parts of the Karakoram last year. Had "Solace" on a lot of times on my mp3 player. The music dovetailed magnificently with the scenery.

    Recommended if you're traveling among the great mountain ranges of the world.

  • @fakkanguy Yes! Exactly!

  • Mareador pero muy bueno!

  • All genres of music touch certain spaces in our soul, this was sent to me through a sweet and dear friend, and I must say, just what I needed after an all out skull crackin day surfin some incredible rip currents io star spank and a fav !!~ most lovely Thank You for posting mate !!~ much love and respect.. Mia~

  • Rod of NZ Skydiving

    You were taken too soon. You gave me one of the best experiences of my life and this video/song will always remind me of you. Rest in peace.

  • Wow, some of you have very naive philosophies on the morality of humans.

  • @Grimmjow567 Humans are the only living thing on this planet that doesn't need to be here.

  • @LkAuYrNtE By that logic nothing needs to anywhere, humans are as much a part of Earth as anything else.

  • @Grimmjow567 If you think of it, we're at the top of the food chain. If we disappeared, another would take our place.

    And at the rate that we're causing problems with the environment and the small amount of people working to save it, I'm sure the environment would benefit without people too.

  • @LkAuYrNtE Yes that is true. However we do exist so we can continue to try to sort out these problems. Although the damage humans have done is pretty much irreversible there is still much more we can acheive as a race and hopefully not at the cost of others and the planet. Yeah but besides that humanity is fucked.

  • Just so awesomely awesome.

  • Is there some annoying argue on such beautiful video?

  • Comment removed

  • to be brutally honest you're both cunts for your shitty spam, if your gonna spam at least make it funny ya jerks

    P.S. grow up

  • @mrshankly213 .. you're right .

  • I feel sorry for the three that dislike this.

  • I love the fact that this music is not mainstream music. Think about it. If everyone started listening to this music you'd get sick of it.

  • @Wolvenhybrid Truer words have never been spoken.

  • I would love to see an advert, played at peak time, say when X factors on and this should be the sound track. It would be played over footage of all the suffering, wars and injustice that is going on right now throughout the world.Then maybe, just maybe, the human race would awaken and realise that life is precious and we must live each and every day together as one. That would be pure bliss.

  • i really like isis and jakob,can someone recommend me to n e other bands to check out?

  • @mattgw123 Rhian Sheehan and module definately

  • Saw them live at the Troubadour last night with Isis Best show I've ever been to hands down.

  • do these boys only tour oz/nz?wouldl ike to see them live in europe one day,nice sounds from a giia fan

  • Love it. But I have to say this, it really makes me annoyed when people say certain types of music are this and that and you should listen to this because its better or saying a certain genre sucks, because it kills me because their so close-minded and most of them have never listened to that type of music because it has a stereotype. Music is amazing no matter what form it comes in.

  • @theantiorangejordan NO there is good and bad in life,not every taste is good and you sould klnow that!

  • @blackmanorigins Indeed there is good and bad in the world. But every good has a little bad and every bad has a little good somewhere. And Im just saying that people should be less close minded and more open to things instead of saying oh that sucks which 99% of todays population would say.

  • @theantiorangejordan thats true and ill give you thumbs up for it but most,and i say most because there is one or two that i like but yes most of those mainstream artist that make total shit ,like for say eric ?- 'call on me' or something should fuck off eat their own shite and then sing a song and might be a bit better.

  • Jakob music and cds was one of the best thinks i met from my one year trip in New Zealand. And do you know anything about New Zealand landscapes and the kiwi people ?? They both are just amazing... well, listening Jakob is even a better feeling and one of the best experiences.

  • I can't believe I was lucky enough to see these guys live just 2 nights ago! My neck still hurts and my throat is still hoarse... Thats a good sign. Love this style of music!

  • No, it wasnt idotic, as you can see ive gotten 14+ thumbs up marks.. and probabley more to come.. Very much so the reason why im right, and not idotic... Read over the last comment i posted... its true.... not idiotic... Rap is hateful,demaning, and sexist...

  • too good.

  • were can i buy their album? :( i searched everywhere

  • you should sooooo check out crossbell for the blind

  • Its so cool!

  • If you love Jakob, you must check for their song titled, "Method"...It is a rare find, from a compilation album called "Coalescence." The song was originally supposed to be on Solace but was issued as a b-side. It's one of their best...

  • whats this genre of music called?

  • post-rock. there's actually alot of guys out there. I say also check out Godspeed You Black Emporer and Mogwai for sure. Some of my personal favs are If these trees could talk, God is an Astronaught, Explosions in the Sky, and A Silver Mt. Zion

  • light post metal. see : explosions in the sky, red sparroes. For better heavier stuff with vocals, see : baroness, isis neurosis

  • @tooldruid....Spot on, bro. After listening to these guys for the last week, I completely agree. Got Solace digitally off of Amazon, and ordered a disc for Cale:Drew. Fantastic musicians, best of this genre, imho.

  • Jakob are a NZ band who never get out of NZ much.They have been around since 1998.

    Released 5 albums and a 20 minute log EP.

    You can get 3 of the albums in the UK.

    They are truly awesome

  • This is fracking amazing..the combination of this music with the video. Found this by accident while looking for Mogwai stuff, think these guys might be better...

  • @DakarRaider Jakob is amazing man...I used to listen to Mogwai all the time but Jakob is much more appealing to me after listening to all of their albums for the last 3 years. Listen to their albums, "Cale:Drew", "Subsets of Sets", and of course..."Solace." You will not be disappointed.

  • This is still one of the top songs on 'solace' !

    Love it!

  • @DemoColorScheme agree!

  • @DemoColorScheme I never heard this stuff before. I really really like this sound.

  • Yeah, Jakob rock! I'd highly recommend listening to malachite of theirs as well (there's a live version on YouTube as well!) - saint is gorgeous as well, though very minimalistic.

  • My name is jakob! Lolz

  • beautiful.

  • does anyone know what aircraft and wher exactly i the south island this was filmed by anychance?,

    ps fukn sssiick music!!

  • good roll rate but fell off the top of the first loop. no idea!

  • Awesome album, best listened to with a view across vast distance, with cold alcomohol and a bit of a head on.......

  • im tripping with the song..!!!!

  • lol all these hipster garbage talking out of their asses

    just enjoy the music

  • Beautiful song :)

  • it is true. Rap most da time is talking about drugs, money, or sex. IMHO rap is a lot of the reason why this world is as bad off as it atm. Because ppl listen to it and then they think that the sh*t is cool, and go out in the streets with the pistols, drugs, etc etc. Their is more reasons but i think that is one

  • Pardon, but isn't that a bit simple? Rap is expression and therefore always a mirror for social states for expirence and the same, the content of this music is just a catalyst and thus we should ask for the reasons in society and not just easly judge. It is very much commercialised and therefore must have been disered by many people so the dispostion must have been there before.

  • Just because it is commercialized, does not make it good. Its all media hype. Take for example, Myley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. That is all media hype. And like i said the majority of rap talks about drugs, money, and sex. If you believe that is what ppl shld listen to, you fit the majority of the world perfectly.

  • Where have u read that I think its good? Rap is just a type of music so instead of blaming on that I would rather make statements on real persons than just generalise. I mean there is probably much more rap than you know (which is not commercialize and do not simply reflect what you consider as the majority) and I bet it's not all about idolize drugs, money and sex...

  • i said the majority of it, not all. You and everybody else knows its true too, so don't try to defend it. If you or some one else likes it good for you or them. Im just stating my opinion on it.

  • How would you know about every rap interpret. I just suggest that you probably just know commercialised ones, those in TV and so on, so how do you justify your jugdement on a whole form of muscial expression?

  • Once again i said MOST NOT ALL. and for your info i like some rap

  • I just mean that you probably dont know most of rap interprets, and for your info I dislike most rap ;)

  • Oh sorry about the mistake I meant to say interpretERs. I agree most rap that is popular talks about these things but I think there are lots of unpopular rap artist which dont. Metaphorically said:

    If Rap is a cup and the fluid in it is the musics content therefore the text and there are many people who fill it with shit it doesn't mean that the cup is bad.

  • lol we are not gna agree. We are talking in two different ways, its getting no where. Im sure your an alrite guy/girl, but I'm done. Later :) Jakob is good btw :)

  • Not only is this song beautiful, but this video is as well. Those mountains are incredible.

  • this is cool stuff...and the roots arent disgusting

  • absolutly beautiful .... but ... i want everyone who listens to Jakob and God is an Astronaut ... to go and listen to a rap song, then listen to these songs ..... this is beautiful music ... and rap is disgusting, hateful, demeaning, and sexist .... Just think about it ...

  • mostly true, but not always. Listen to Aesop Rock.

  • Rap is just another means of expression. Just because you don't appreciate the rapper's type of expression doesn't mean it isn't beautiful in it's own way.

  • @tstalsby509 That's a pretty large generalization of an entire genre. If you really think that rap is hateful, demeaning and sexist you're just ignorant of all the great rap that there is out there if you look a little further than the charts.

  • I agree most rap is terrible, at least from a musical perspective...Listening to rap is laughable when I think of GIAA and Jakob...

  • I am thinking about it and it's obvious that you have no knowledge about hip hop, so maybe you should think about educating yourself about a topic before making blanket generalizations about it. De La Soul, Arrested Development, Aesop Rock, Roots Manuva, Common, Murs. It's ironic that you can't speak of beautiful music without hating on others. That's hateful, demeaning and disgusting. Don't you think?

  • @tstalsby509 yes God is an Astronaut and Jakob are my favorite bands,and will be for a long time!Rap is crap,rap gives people false hopes false dreams this here this here is the beauty of the planet earth,somebody has a tallent of a god (not that i beleve or anything)but post-rock i feel it like nature music man!

  • @blackmanorigins Thank you, see... You truely see what point im trying to get across to everyone... and I thank you my friend....

  • @tstalsby509 I do i am 15 and i no know what beauty is nobody understands me not in school nowhere (bad spelling sorry).They are bling they do not understand the beauty of the Sun,Space,Planets,life,Breath,­Feel.They do not understand the real power of music the real power of the nature witch is bad realy bad by the way we are going we will all wall down soon.Those people who make post music they know stuff,stuff that we do not and we need to respect that(sorry for the bad spelling) end of part 1

  • @blackmanorigins totally understand im 15 as well, this IS music ppl our age cnt except it because it different or not mainstream enough.

    losers.

  • @IchMagSechs You sounded very mature there. Right up till the loser comment. You do have a point though, and I totally agree. When you are younger you tend to "go with the flow" a lot more. I know I did the same. Boy I wish I opened my mind up to different kinds of music as soon as I knew what the stuff was. Almost 12,000 songs later and Music has a whole new meaning. - Haha so high. Ms.Mary Jane might have helped a little too ;)

  • @Mauchner Lucky me im 15!

  • @blackmanorigins lol deep

  • @token93 Why not??

  • @token93 Are you afraid!

  • @blackmanorigins

    i know exactly what you mean. i'm fourteen, and have pretty much never related to anyone. all people our age know is drama, drugs, sex, having fun, basically being immature, and it makes me sorry for them... they've never known a beauty like this. they might travel all over the world but they can't appreciate it for what it's worth. and here i am stuck at home.. :/

  • @saltwaterloveee Yes they need to wake up!Forget about chools,law,dum people,gouvrement(bad spelling)we need to wake up and see the nature for what really is!We have only 100 years to live YET we waste it on law schools when we could be enjoyng the whole time!The law that humans have is fake there is no law there is only nature law the law that says we must eat,sleet,piss,shit,have sex but it is on the last place.

    We are and biological misstake,dont forget we all die enjoy as mutch a you can!

  • @blackmanorigins you talk shit mate :-) you got a good channel but you talk shit !

  • @blackmanorigins

    Lol, wise words. This world is so messed up.

  • @saltwaterloveee ...Man, having just read the book, and then, watched the film: the road, then reading your comment, the film could easily be true in so many ways, and in a way this song blends in with that thought, and makes you think the world is on a slope downwards, and with every object on a downsided slope, it will go down hill, and is slowly going down hill, what we don't know is, when will it hit the bottom

  • @TigerEyeJewel

    putting it like that makes it sound sad! lol but yeah, very true. i've wanted to read that book for some time, how was it?

  • @saltwaterloveee dude, its so sad, like im close to my old man, so i did feel empethic towrdars the father and son in the book, its quite short like 300 pages, and is easy to read and put down and pick up again, but it does make you think, that it could happen, and it would be similar to the road, the book is far better or more elborate then the film, it tells you alot more about the father and boy, and what there really going through, the film has took just the action scenes from the road

  • @TigerEyeJewel

    sounds deep, lol, i gotta get my hands on it. thanks.

  • @blackmanorigins If only the world was so simple. We humans are made to be courius.

  • @tstalsby509 I tryed to have a girlfriend a could have they say if i dont listen to metal,rock,post music i try to show them what i like they just wont exept it never will.People are afraid to try new things to learn,is it so hard?Just go on goole,tipe in stuff that you want to find out(Stuff-music).ITs that easy so many music in the world so many beautiful things and they are sticking to the mainstream crap end of part 2 (Sorry againg for bad spelling im from sweden so i suck a english).CHEERS!

  • @blackmanorigins Jag trodde du var svenska och jag visste att du är ung. du riskerar att ett sinne kollaps. Jag känner till tecknen. du är galen
