[hanakobananako3511]

love this song from mary and max <3

[wavepopART208]

14 people were touched by their weird uncle...

[Dburt0]

just wonderful. PCO always makes gorgeous music

[TheGomgomboy]

found this during " take photo everyday for 2.5 yeras " god i think im in love with that girl in the video

[488arie]

@TheGomgomboy lol me 2 about the song and yes the girl is very pretty !!

[spot5]

Even though I first heard this on one of those old ads (IBM or insurance or something dull like that), I can't help but listen to it over and over again. Poignant is probably the word I'd use to describe it if I had to use one word to express everything it evokes.

[LyleBennet]

I had heard this track before seeing Mary and Max, but Mary and Max made me love it more. It was used quite a lot in the film. But not over-used. In each scene it was featured in it felt perfectly there.

[OdenYouTh]

avicii's fathers on the pic



[huyly123]

i could've sworn this was used in an apple ad just can't remember which

[sam1992nov]

Avicii's samples :)



[qwoeby]

fade in to darkness :D

[pearlshambles]

Really want this to be played when I walk down the aisle!

[elissa95]

@pearlshambles The melody goes kinda fast so you'd have to run :p

[NICKOLODEON23]

Mary and Max brought me here. I wonder if it did for you? :) smile

[CommentsSurvey]

I found this great piece of music on another YouTube video: "She takes a photo every day: 2.5 years." Both are FANTASTIC! Thanks for posting!

[piano37924]

This song inspires me! :D

[WahWeeWooWah]

This song makes me feel like I can climb mt. everest, and live.

i have asthma. -_-

[juliaannenees]

Watch Mary and Max, completely claymation. It's on Netflix.

--It's were I heard this, and fell in love. ♥

[atro29]

I can't put my finger on it but I heard that melody before. Sound like Coldplay.

or Daylight by Matt & Kim.

[ClarkeSYD]

@atro29 This has been around for quite some time now, there's no way it was ripped from anyone like Matt & Kim or Coldplay, and I doubt it was ripped at all. But apparently Avicii was inspired by this track, which led to tracks like Avicii - Penguin and Avicii - Fade Into Darkness. Check them out if you get the chance because they're a pretty nice complement to this track. :)

[MrRWJP]

@ClarkeSYD Avicii wasn't just inspired by it! He sampled it for Penguin.

[ClarkeSYD]

@MrRWJP Correct, my choice of words were just poor haha. Sorry.

[MrRWJP]

@atro29 This was written in 1987... Coldplay didn't start until 1996.

If any of Coldplay's stuff sounds like this, they either sampled it, or drew inspiration from it.

Matt & Kim didn't start until 2005, so if any of their stuff sounds like this, they either sampled it, or drew inspiration from it.

Perpetuum Mobile is the original.

[callumAS]

This song makes me very happy.

[Curaj07]

I searched this after listening Avicii-Penguin.

[CaptainSkaj]

is that St; Gabriel on the piano?

[Fancypantsray]

Victoria I truly miss you and still am madly in love with you. I know you might never read this comment but that doesn't change the yearnings of my heart and soul.

I still hear this song and can not help but to think of all the wonder and beautiful memories we created and crafted together. I wish, pray, hope, and beg that one day we can built some more. -Ray

[UltiGamer0]

Am I the only one who got chills at 0:26?

[Geco180]

@UltiGamer0 no



[UltiGamer0]

@Geco180 WHAT? I don't even...

[Geco180]

@UltiGamer0 lol sorry man, I meant "no" you're not the only one. sorry if that came off wrong

[UltiGamer0]

@Geco180 Oh... Yay. :3

[FrostySharkSpain]

@UltiGamer0 no xD

[TheEngram]

@UltiGamer0 nope!



[luisespanola]

@UltiGamer0 AVICII!!!!!!

[natho744534565677867]

@UltiGamer0 Oh god i tried to not get chills then, but couldn't help it

[characterizedbynada]

@UltiGamer0 Course not. It's beautiful.

[RayRays]

I've heard this song before when I was a kid, but madandcrazychild help me re-discover it. Such a beautiful song. Brings me back to when times were so much simple.

[djsetcancun]

love it !!!

[kittykattyalex]

Mary & Max. <3

[musicismylife1234ist]

Excelent Song. Arranging it for my High School Orchestra right now!

[CharlezZdaB00G]

Am I the only one who gets tired of people hating on musicians for "stealing"? Am I the only one who think it's a good thing that music evolves and can be expressed in different ways, reaching new people? If it wouldn't have been for Tim Bergling AKA Avicii i would never have heard of this wonderful piece of music. Thanks Penguin Café Orchestra for this great tune and thanks Avicii for doing it your way and spreading this melody.

[scienceisknolwedge]

@CharlezZdaB00G Thanks, thanks, thanks! You've expressed better than I ever did. I try to talk people into understanding this and quitting this copyright bullshit THAT THEY COMPLAIN TOO, when they don't get to post their videos.

So many remix videos I posted things about it, but I was never able to express everything in such a simple way. Thank You!

[MOZ1175]

@CharlezZdaB00G It is absurd completely! If you ever get a chance look up Widmung by Schumann and listen or play the very end of it. In the piano accompaniment there is the same melodie as the Ave Maria by Schubert. Hamonies are different but the melody is there. No coincidence either from what I have been told. Give them hell!!!!!

[sofuckyouyeah]

@CharlezZdaB00G all melodies have been played before in some variation, thats really just an undisputed fact

[CharlezZdaB00G]

@sofuckyouyeah Indeed. No matter what you do there have most certainly been something similar done before. Every piece of art is inspired by another piece of art but that's something good, that's innovation. I think we should stop talking about originality and talk about innovation instead simply because absolute originality does not exist.

[ItsMichaelNilsson24]

@CharlezZdaB00G Which song is it by Avicii, I'd like to hear it :D Thanks in advance, cheers!

[CharlezZdaB00G]

@ItsMichaelNilsson24 The instrumental(or computeral?) mix is called "Penguin" referring of course to Penguin Café Orchestra and the new, more popular version with vocals is called "Fade Into Darkness". Another recommendation is Avicii's "Levels" which uses the singing from Etta James "Something's Got A Hold On Me". I am happy to help :)

[Eartcovv]

Where do i know this from?!?!? Driving me NUTS!

[apratimroy]

@Eartcovv : It was used, in its original form, in the wonderful Australian claymation film, Mary And Max, from 2009. Next year, Avicii used it for Fade Into Darkness. Type fPIbV-shrvM into YouTube to find that. For what it's worth, I find it nothing compared to the original on this page.

[delaneyn2332]

12 dislikes?

THANKS HERMIONE. 

[jaylay734]

It actually sorta bugs me that this video has reached double-digit dislikes

[paulfrancismusic]

15/8 <3

[symetricbody]

man im fucking piss I swear I thought guys like avicci made thier own tracks

[korvfejs]

@symetricbody haha...

[Octopipe]

Avicii wasn't trying to steal anything rather give a new look on this amazing piece of music as do any new age djs that sample any music and yes very people may know that this was actually written by Penguin Cafe Orchestra but Avicii is also a pretty amazing musician for how young he is and how big he has blown up in the past year.

[121Tobias121]

@Octopipe me love yo

[AvatarJizz]

goes to show how times and music and basically everything is evolving around us

[95livelovelife]

0:26 <3 <3 gives me chills

[95livelovelife]

0:26 <3 <3 omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggggggggggg

[lonegymnast]

awesome homework music

[zujjjuz]

Hats off to these guys! I thought Avicii's track was great, but this is a totally different level...

[ChSRocks8]

THE SIMS MUSIC! *-*

[pinkpersonwithice]

this song inspires me to go do something larger than myself.

[Axidy]

A V I C I I

[AvatarJizz]

@Axidy avicii doesn't have 1/100 of the skill of these real musicians. they wrote the music and played it live while avicii copied it and couldnt even do it in real time.

[MRlebronman]

THIS IS SMOOTH!!!

[bmylove4444]

Every time I hear this piece I fall more and more in love with it.

[imtheFreshest]

@bmylove4444

woooooord! its often like that with good music...

[elitelinkin]

i personally love avicii but he definitely used the main melody of this song :/ screw it though I'm seeing him live day after :)

[zoomiemango1]

10 people had spasms of joy when they heard this and accidentally clicked the dislike. It's ok guys, we forgive you.

[SerotoninRush]

he should have remixed it. the whole melody is ripped

[123theri]

Pretty shit

[hinduguru292]

i can't see the dislike bar :D

[Dinfulatub]

fade into darkneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eees

lol just kidding

[marthamehmeh]

i'm guessing their hearts all melted onto the bridges of their violins as they played this

[austinthebookworm5]

I have 2 ears and a heart, don't I?

[hpandroid]

My ears are on opiods, thank you!

[jaylay734]

It honestly bothers me a little bit that this almost has double-digit dislikes...

[Keshoobako]

This is so beautiful. I first heard it in Mary and Max!

[maltesejoe]

i first heard this back in 1991 on a cafe del maar tape

Ohhhh so good to hear this again ;)

[MissaMoos]

I can feel an ache in my chest when I listen to this, I can physically connect to this

(:

[LFernandz]

sounds like magic... thanks for sharing this song ! :')

[walrusgombit]

playing it again for the 5630563909582015nth time tonight....starting...NOW

[theolay]

Its 2:48 in the morning. Ive just heard this for the first time. Im really happy. :)

[synjerome]

I think I just found my ringtone

[synjerome]

Sounds like an Apple commercial. LOL

[mla251]

@synjerome - Agreed! It would be the perfect background song for an Apple ad, lol

[thelken]

It's a shame that the "remix" gets a lot more attention than this masterpiece.

[juanfe98rain]

im happy feet i only dance to the song avicii-penguin

[1967drew]

what a great sound , i was lucky enough to see them in the barnfield theatre exeter on tuesday 26 november 1991.

[SuicidalSmiley24]

this song makes me happy :)

[rapman53]

Pandora is the best

[makemejelly31]

This is so beautiful.

[juanfe98rain]

the thing is that you dont dance to this, avicii remastered this song by making it something that you canc dance

[icannotfly]

@juanfe98rain if you can't dance to this, something's wrong with your feet

[effectualMASS]

This is seriously one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard

[202786p]

@effectualMASS i love it when people first hear and appreciate pco, there is so many amazing performances for everyone to experience, simon jeffes was and still is my musical hero and inspiration

[CarpeDiem1Brooks]

@effectualMASS

This may be the number one song of all time I WANT BADLY to learn on the piano

[madeleinemariee]

bittersweet :)

[samyakatack]

tbh I don't really care who was first when they made it and who stole it (if they did). personally I prefer this one to Avicii because it has more feeling and tone that conveys genius yet simplicity.

[zackpoll]

bossss

[geetkundo75]

avicii vs these guys are no comparison ....musical masters of strings and beat versus a leech of the underground dance scene who can only thumb a keyboard for computer music and probably cant even beat match......... BTW this comment is coming from a 36 yr old deep house dj and producer....keep it real guy avicii is a prop in the vast environment of EDM

[Kullenification]

@geetkundo75 Totally agree.

[Souprx]

@geetkundo75 I'm fairly certain he can beat match, why get so cocky i dont see your name everywhere.

[Andreilg3]

@geetkundo75 he can't beatmatch ive seen him live twice hes terrible at everything but composition and even that he uses templates to milk his still very generic style, but I don't see why hes a leech, hes legally allowed to borrow themes after a certain period, its been done throughout all of history as an accepted practice and tiesto's greatest hit is taken from samuel barber's adagio for strings

[TFrenchy]

@geetkundo75 Quit hating just because he's made it and you havn't. At least he's got a bit of passion and puts a bit of effort into making his music unlike flo rida and other coporate 'artists' who are literally all about the money.

[JMoney98370]

@geetkundo75 You should F*ckin die faggot, Avicii just took this music to another level

[camtheman289]

@geetkundo75 You're going to sit here and honestly believe that Avicii can't beat match? Yeah....sure thing buddy.

[DjKreed]

@geetkundo75 Totally agree with you here mate, I enjoy the usual dance/techno stuff these days and have fun making it as well ... but it will never match to music like this.

[raptor91ch]

And what about leona lewis?

[MLand4000]

Althought I'm Avicii's fan. I hate people who talk about Avicii so much here. This is a wonderful old song, and 'Penguin - Avicii' was in the web since February 2011... Today, 'Fade Into Darkness' is popular by the vocals, but Avicii sampled this at begining on this year... No more comments now...

[TheArthkm]

Oh man. Classical strings, some minimal ambient AND massive experimentalism. To find perfection seek no more.

[urbanachiever54]

@jimmystev I heard it on what I call The Quiet Storm Radio on my Pandora account. Root artists include Sigur Ros, mum and Hammock.

[vegemitosis]

Why do people dislike non-troll videos in the first place, even if they don't like it?

[MyGeorgia11]

Avicii first named this song penguin before hte lyrics were added in, so he did give credit you dumbasses.

[Kronix95]

Fade into darkness??

[happygoluckytingting]

stupid question, but did he write this song? or is it a classical piece of music from the great composer's time?

[jordanreyesivan]

@happygoluckytingting yes he wrote this music

[happygoluckytingting]

@jordanreyesivan thank you so much, really appreciate it^^ wow, he was and still is amazing^^

[simonvp23]

This song makes the world so beautiful !

[YourichiCat]

omg, I also searched this song up after watching her video! :D

[Panzer48th]

@YourichiCat As did I.

[penjoseph]

Great Orchestra

[GingyPno123]

Where can i get sheet music for this song?

[Dj4Life777]

For some reason this song always make me feel sad...

[RobynDharma18]

@Dj4Life777 It's a bittersweet and meloncholy song, the movement is undermined by the flowing harmonies. I love it.

[teamBAATpictures]

FADE IN TO DARKNESS!

[pokebob4eva]

this reminds me of Ireland for some reason o.oo

[sageh04]

Avicii is a theif!

[phuphugad]

@sageh04 SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! he just used this song as a sample

[blinkerzot]

@phuphugad damn right man,

@sageh04 if avicii didn't use this sample, i would've never been here listening to this -.-

[rsallejr]

@phuphugad this deserves to be top... i heard that sample in the other guys song and its terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this song is doper than anything to come out in the last 20 years... doper!

[sageh04]

@phuphugad you're just as much a thief

[asianairlines]

@phuphugad there's a difference between sample, and using it as the main melody. :S

[Jpolo1031]

@sageh04 Actually he is keeping it alive. I would have gone my whole live without knowing who Penguin Cafe Orchestra was if not for him. Now this is going on my I-POD.

[BendyStraw52]

I'm not gonna lie, Avicii brought me here a few months ago but I'm starting to like this song more than Avicii's and I don't even like classical music much!

[Eendeebo]

If you sat me down and asked me to name the perfect song, I think this would be it. It overwhelms me with gratitude.

[gretaqhazelzzz]

I'm pretty sure this song is just a standard 7/8.

[Hangten404]

@JDnCoke1992 I agree. it sounds like 4+4+4+3. Similar to The Ocean by Led Zeppelin.

[CrowdControlol]

Wow. What are you afraid of?

[jonatantrock]

Mary and Max <3

[ruruandbennydoo]

i cant even see the dislike bar

[clareenoyster]

Savege piece of music...the time signature is somewhere around 7 / 8 but theres an extra beat or two in there.

[sashabg1]

How can 7 people dislike this?

[onekilliondollars]

@sashabg1 how can ANYONE dislike this?

[TrollsKillKids]

@iingeda Mary And Max. :)

[Hangten404]

Can't figure out the time signature... anyone?

[imtheFreshest]

Gives emotions... Beautiful.

@bradenrauen To assume a completely aliens speice has music as understood by humans is a -very- huge assumption. You assume that they have a way of detecting air movements similar to our sense of hearing, which is not impossible but still unlikely. Even assuming they can "hear" what's to say they would on the same spectrum as a human? Perhaps they hear much higher or lower Frequencies than us. While music is universal to huma
