Eluvium - Genius and the thieves

[ChrisDomato]

skins :)

[vivivmusic]

Very inspired by this man.

[neuroticpsyc83]

YouTube needs to add a "Repeat" button!

[YoungNastyParsee]

@neuroticpsyc83

add 'repeat' after youtube in the url

[Chromadeluxe]

It sounds a little bit cheesy, but I compare this video to life. It's a beautiful road, with exciting and boring parts, and at the end you don't know what comes next.

[bluetigerltd]

This is why I feel the best music is instrumental; it's so much more striking and every chord is like a thought, captured in a fraction of a second

[tillingonrye]

Thank you, thank you, Princess of Babylon. I've finally watched, teeth gritted, all of Season 5. This was a good moment, and they were thin on the ground.

[jmanzo2009]

So damn depressing on Queer As Folk

[Rageify]

@jmanzo2009 That's where I heard it first and can't get it out of my head! So beautiful!

[Ideeem]

Minimalist songs are the finest

[FolvaFelr]

Well Done...I feel there is something very reflexive in this video, thanks.

[izabelaszumierz]

sad cases all of you

[fivehundredunicorns]

This is so incredibly beautiful oh my gosh

[chiledofthekorn]

this is amazing

if you like eluvium you might like

gabriel williams - she has seven skins

[funwes]

Taking the bus from college to home a few months ago was a lot more pleasant with this and other of Mr. Cooper's songs.

[sycop]

Too much action in this video... -_-

[TheRosie96]

SKINS <3

[19MJsPr89]

@TheRosie96 I first heard this on Skins, I wouldn't have known about this otherwise.

[MCMAN1988]

This is a true probe,that music moves the world :)

[loserbiotch2]

this is so beautiful :)

[khemshet]

7 people don't have a heart

[jcnanaman]

eluvium and the thieves

[eerymsnow]

This is one of my favorite songs to play on the piano :)

[KALMO303]

ahh im trying to figure out how to play it but i can't figure it out:( beautiful song though

[belay93]

love this album !!

[Tujitsushibasus]

This vid really reminds me of french landscapes (the fields and the electric pylons) or at least some european ones. Maybe I'm wrong but this sheet of paper on the screen's bottom left corner looked written in French. I figure the first word on the right may be "chaque".

Anyway the song is wonderful.

[qsefthuko135]

Driving down a dirt road; are you getting closer? It's hard to tell.

[winnyispinksushi]

I wish I was there.

[maart0123]

Is this filmed in Holland? really looks like it:D

[huxtiblejones]

I love it when the song shifts to that lower tone. Eluvium makes excellent music, it's like a song that's both mournful and celebratory, like watching a beautiful pearly cloud dance in the sky while it vanishes so slowly you don't notice it's leaving until it's gone. .

[runescapemastr]

@huxtiblejones This is the best description ever.

[ytcarol]

Guy doesn't take his foot off the sustain pedal on the piano, so it's a bit muddy. Could be a bit of background music, I guess. Reminds me of when I have sat at the piano and something interesting came out, and I repeated it, but didn't know where else to go.

[SaraTired]

QaF

[saltwaterloveee]

Minimalism is like warm sunshine that is transpired through all this chaos...

[astrocharlie]

I gain color. wonderful eluvium

[PrezMB]

lovin' this melody

[srapnel88]

love people who make music like this

[xDonnyx]

i just LOVE that song. such a great melody.

[HeedleGlavin]

Very beautiful minimalism, for sure. However, it's a bit monotonous for my tastes.

[Tyruswriter]

It reminds me greatly to one of my favorite movies "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" thank you for the tune.

[cruthybabie]

hello kitty

[coheed33]

extremely unique vibe from this track, beautiful... distant, sad, hopeful, trippy, but in an unexplainable way.

[whoopdewoot]

The music today dosen't really reach me. Personally, I enjoy songs that are simple and bring you back. This is great 'inspiration' music, perfect for clearing that writer's block I always have.

[rammingstone1]

saw them in carrboro...only about 20 people went though. very moving stuff

[TheSaintMatt]

most beautiful piece of music i ever heard

[wavesspeak]

@TheSaintMatt

I hope you have broaden your horizon by now.

[TheSaintMatt]

@wavesspeak up to your width ? is that even possible ? no one likes smart-asses

[wavesspeak]

@TheSaintMatt

I guess not...

[TheSaintMatt]

@wavesspeak right, why don't you come and join us small-minded people ? we have cookies.

[wavesspeak]

@TheSaintMatt

I just love cookies...chewing on one should be a symphony...

[TheSaintMatt]

@wavesspeak it could be ^^

[smilingboy9]

it touches everyhing in me :)

[0SpecialNeeds0]

Wow. This piece of art is so heart-warming, brilliant and breath-taking.

I don't even know, how to explain the way I feel when I'm listening to this song. It's just ... I don't know.

Heart it on Queer As Folk for the first time and I was thrilled by this song, as well as by the show.

[johanthepirate]

@0SpecialNeeds0 They play goddamn Eluvium on Queer As Folk? Lol

[0SpecialNeeds0]

@johanthepirate Yes, they do^^ But unfortunately I forgot, in which epsisode they played it ...

[arachnai]

@johanthepirate yep, in 5x09..final credits, i'm just listening.. :P

[costin12]

i feel so...........i really don`t know, in hell ? heaven ? hugged and kissed by my girlfriend ? i feel.... how do i feel ?

[batfly]

Eluvium is the best ever!

[TwistedAngel760]

I also heard this on Queer as Folk. That series has introduced me to a lot of new songs. : )

[MrKarlosDrummer]

absolutely beautiful

[tickedoffnow]

this song was in Queer as folk! so sad :(

[Sl0wDiv3]

my eyes fill with tears...

[batfly]

That is a beautiful way of saying thank you.

[pupe26]

pupe

LA JOYA

[tickedoffnow]

so sad, so beautiful :(

[TigerWoodsDMB]

almost reminds me of 'so long, lonesome; from explosions in the sky

[Pr0x1mo]

Yeah, i was about to say that. + Rep

[ClandestineSky]

If only sounds like this could pierce through clouds and onto the Earth the same way that light does.

[resistdeath]

Amazing  comment for an amazing song. Thank you. :)

[AggroZilla]

Epitomizes the beauty of simplicity...

[rooroo1988]

nice

[ilt17]

5 stars are not enough for this

[kirk1968]

The video is perfect, it makes me wonder what's beyond those trees right at the end. Nicely done.

[ClimbDeath]

amazingness... the video suits 1000%

[rxrx1776]

auto fav

[triumphelf]

Beautiful Reminds me of -Artesia,Enya,Dark Sanctuary,Autumn Tears,Arcana...

[kalvinklein2]

oh sorry i thought you said the most boring song :S

[purifyz]

This is quite possibly the best fitting video ever created. Nice song though

[daveduznotrull]

surreal solemnity steadfast serous soulful rest easy keep breathing and when the music stops saddle up is what it says to me (or is that a bit to deep for a description)

[chelpydog]

I like it!!!!

[stepaka]

song of my soul

[stepaka]

life sucks

[Chrotisofus]

It does. Luckily, there's still music.

[Zlyzer]

It turns out to be luck of the draw. Which sadly I have none of.

This song speaks something, but I can't put it down into words.

[xTommyGirlx]

There's a solemn harmony adding to the seemingly innocent story the melody seems to be telling. Like how a person talks, and there's a hidden sadness you can hear weighing them down, or when you look into another's eyes and they pierce you with a stab of obviously feigned complacency. The way it is to say, "Ow.. It hurt me. It hurt me too because it's something we've both known." Inheritting the bereavement of another;sharing a quiet moment, gazing at a full moon. That's what the song tells me.

[mindvibe]

Thanks for this, really.

[xTommyGirlx]

hey, no need to thank me :) but thanks for thanking lawl

[Dyingtology]

Beautiful.

Love The Vid, Too. <3.

[theclownmagnets]

eluvium is a lot like the band Balmorhea from austin tx

[eho0]

I like this piece but I'm not sure I like the message the video portrays to me.

Actually if I look at it in a different way it becomes emotive. I won't express my interpretations in fear of influencing others, when it should an individual experience.

[sucramnormark]

I dont see anything wrong with influencing others with your own interpretations... and its not like your own individual experience with the song is being stolen when you hear another person telling their experience... its not harmful. just interesting i think.

[jesst7]

no words

[JanikaVagya]

so beautiful

[craponu]

i wanna go there... but im stuck here doing homework

[eluvium13]

lol same here

[boxcarguy07]

I'm currently in the process of transcribing this wonderful song

[barrjordan]

does eluvium ever use vocals

[owenhall]

not as far as im aware, stuff like this and xp in the sky I think sound better like this

[andresmexy]

i agree with you, sometimes its relaxing not to hear a voice and create your own message

[jerkythesandpiper]

@andresmexy Word

[fullmetal1582]

He comes VERY close in All the Sails off of When I Live By the Garden and the Sea. You can hear some person far off in the distance saying something akin to, 'yooooooooooowaaaaaaaaaaay'. I'd call it a near miss.

[merrdujapon]

Oh, and I am also looking for the sheet music for this piece. If anyone happens to find it somewhere, please contact me!

[merrdujapon]

I cry a little each time I listen to this song. It is so beautiful {:

Radio Ballet is stunning as well [well Copia in general. ELUVIUM in general]

I enjoy this video. It is fitting to the sound!

[cgable63]

i completely agree w/you. this music touches me so deeply. good to know i'm not the only one to which this music has that effect.

[Frolanaimesmusicals]

Where can i find this sheet music?..

I've been searching for it for months on the internet.

:( It's really frustrating.

[YetAnotherWebWarrior]

Use your ear =) music isn't made of ink.

[Zealix]

@YetAnotherWebWarrior Music is not made of ears either.

[DestruccionCreativa]

Incredibly beautiful!

[dylanweistaids]

matthew cooper is an ambient god.

[andrezui0]

just beautiful

[Naseem]

beautiful

[moby6002]

Breathtaking!

[englishfolk]

nah it was when jals all depressed

[keytoring]

look an aweful lot like holland! nice vid ; )

great tune

[Shibumi9]

beautiful & I LOVE JAL shes GORGEOUS SO 'Kawaii'

[stoker10]

I found it boring

[Aardvarked88]

I find you boring.

[stoker10]

and I find u clever

[Aardvarked88]

Thanks

[Raztro]

Hey look, a waffler!

[Aardvarked88]

o u

[gonokakakhackus]

you should appreciate good music. ;) go look at eluvium's other stuff. radio ballet from copia is my favorite by them right now.

[lulaa2007]

It's not "them", it's just 1 man. All his guitar tracks are done by looping and over-dubbing, which gives it that huge wall of sound.

[gonokakakhackus]

sorry for the mistake. just started getting into him, and i'm not fully 'educated' on the subject.

[redbeakman]

It's ok my man. I grew up next to Matt, he's a great guy. Enjoy.

[stripyshirts]

i got this awesome piece of music from skins ;)

[ElisaN92]

You mean the programe Skins ?

with sid and maxxie and tony and more people i don't remember 'cuz it's been a while ?

i totally love that programe ! i was addicted , seriously , i was in rehab for like 4 months or something

but not really , i just like the show

[andymackinnon]

Yeh it was on skins a few days ago, i knew i had heard it before, maybe it was when i saw eluvium with explosions in the sky

[friendsfanatic23]

Love Skins, and love Eluvium and love Eplosions in the Sky! All three - great combination :)

[fallingwaterbead]

this evokes a vast array of memories

beautiful!!

[anhorowitz]

droga...niespełniona

[psychopomp88]

where is this? looks breathtaking, despite how absent of anything it is.

[NolanEffect]

i could be wrong but this looks like 16 mm with your focus set at infinity. perfect.

[Zerrith]

Hmm this is pretty good. Just randomly clicked on this but I should go check out another eluvium song now.

[LJsurfer2002]

Great coupling of the song with an original video shot.

[shinty23]

stars of the lid/eluvium? album anyone?

[SoundgardenReunion]

the movie 'Road to Perdition' comes to mind

[rekluziv]

Brilliant melody. I wish this could go on longer, but at least it wasn't stretched disproportionately for such a simple track.

[sphnwnnab]

awesome song, great video, can't wait to hear it live in Lawrence

[nemy11]

Fantastic Video
