Marconi Union - Sleepless

[m4ndoik]

On top of the gate sits a sign reading: Those who enter shall find eternal peace.

The feeling of fully comprehending a situation that you have entered could not have been more certain.

I push through the large gate, never actually making physical contact. Physics... something that no longer holds constraint over this world.

Once I pass the gate, I am embraced by past relatives. In a vast expanse of peaceful meadows. I realize then that I have awaken...

This place... this is the afterlife.

[m4ndoik]

Before I knew it, those other spirits had disappeared. Followed that ominous light until they too had transcended.

I begin walking toward the end of my tunnel. Not knowing where this path will lead. Only certain that my previous life was no longer present.

Could this be a dream? Perhaps a too vivid dream, or nightmare that I can't seem to awaken from.

The end of the light finally confronts me. I have no sense of fear. Only pure submission...

Before me stands a 300 meter tall gate.

[m4ndoik]

This is two different perspectives.

I blink, and suddenly the world disappears into a white abyss...

All remaining sound drowns out and I am left with a sort of empty void. Empty... is that what I am now?

I turn my gaze upon this new world, if that's what I would call it. I see many others. Like me, standing before a great white light. It's warm. A feeling of transcendence comes upon me. Feelings...

I suppose I no longer have need of such things.

[m4ndoik]

It's a cold winter afternoon.... cold. I suppose that's how I feel at this moment.

Children's laughter comes to an abrupt end on a nearby playground. Prayers being shouted out in the winter chill...

I look to the sky, a wide expanse of blue and grey, opening straight above me. It begins to snow...

This isn't snow however. I believe this is what we could call life. These glowing orbs of whiteness.

I see a bright light, glistening toward the opposite side of an endless tunnel.

[lasarahxox]

This song makes me kind of sad :(

[09prizefighter09]

friend of mine showed me this song back in 07...some other tune i cant remember but this was godsend....after i run a few miles this is great to listen too helps the nerves.

[sphinxstone]

I found Weightless @ soundcloud

[prestonater]

Kind of an ironic song title.

[blueukeangel17]

@alieninatincan- know how you feel. I've just been listening to Weightless and can hardly keep my eyes open!  *gets ready to go to bed*

[robertsziggy]

@blueukeangel17 I am having a hard time finding "weightless", is it on Youtube?? Thanks.

[jonafromwales]

@robertsziggy same here

[turnbacktime]

@robertsziggy its on facebook. go to the radox spa page

[TheColoroutofSpace]

@robertsziggy Just in case you never found it, there's a website called Sound Cloud that has it.

[alieninatincan]

I wanted to listen to Weightless, this is too hardcore for me.

[bryanryantryin]

today fm

[iconooi]

I bought the album. I believe this work is incredibly beautiful and deserving of our support to help foster the creative process behind it. Or if it is complete, then to help celebrate its conception.

[MusicForU99]

This song I think was used in the movie: The Lovely Bones. Gives me the goosebumps. ( which I love) :]

[MusicForU99]

heard this on the spa channel, (listen to that channel every night I sleep) And I knew I had to find the name of this song

then I looked

[missunderage0410]

i can smoke to this sound any day of the week

[WebAnt]

@missunderage0410 Music this soothing and relaxing should serve as a good substitute for calming your nerves through the dangerously bad habit of smoking.

[willregnier]

I just bought this album and it's really amazing!

[taniagermanotta]

cute

[ninchenco1]

the greatest! I'm inlove !!

[Platasax]

this american life anyone?

[Sadyechester]

@Platasax Haha thats where I heard it from and since I wasnt sure what it was called nor other music they play often, I searched on youtube and someone made a whole playlist of all the common songs from TAL (This American Life).

[Platasax]

@Sadyechester seriously? can you send me the link? I love TAL in general, let alone the soundtrack! thanks!

[Sadyechester]

@Platasax Sure, but its not so much one cd, someone just put together a playlist of all the songs. I love TAL too, great show, never miss it. Let me know if this doesn't come through but heres the link, its kinda weird cause it won't let me post a link to youtube site so it has spaces in places it doesnt need to be. /view_play_list?p=081CC5EBBC6D­5562

put youtube before /

[juanbo66]

Absolutely lush

[abtecas]

[afrobrhm1]

Esto es medicina pura para el alma!

[Raener]

I feel special to have discovered this song some reason.

[Teejization]

I believe that I am starting to develop insomnia.

[chapin422]

this song is AMAZING. no if's, and's, or but's.

[jerkinoffstailfish]

@chapin422 well maybe a few butts.....

[DeathRebel369]

this makes me think about sad memories,time,whats out there,and being alone in the dark crying on a rainy day

[gemini232003]

Great tune and CD, I just order the CD 10 min ago.

[atrumdecretum]

nostalgia, summer nights edition.. that's what I think of

[skipjack49271]

Thanks for posting. Good thinking music. Coffee at the dinner table in the morning type stuff. Watchin the world wake up.

[DeathRebel369]

this song makes me think of the pass

[PhaiteZ]

this is a beautiful piece of work which describes my nights. much love to the artist as well as the person who posted this.

[WCDWYTS]

this is the sexiest piece of work on earth

[eyewoodsay]

ripples

[7lartceps]

Gorgeous. Another album going on my wish list.

[scootwhoman]

Relaxing, but not repetitive, soothing but dynamic, calming but energizing, reflective but focused, this group is amazing in their ability to bring together elements which are rarely seen in each others company.

I think 'Echoes' is where I first heard this piece, and others by Marconi Union. We don't have much in the way of culture where I am from. (We got BOTH kinds of music: Country and Western!)

[TheStemi4ever]

very relaxing but kinda makes me sad but its very relaxing and makes me sleepy lol

an amazing piece of art work

marconi union should be more famous

[JaymzMorrow]

listen to search party - wintersleep, almost the same,

[DeathRebel369]

This song makes me think of a sunny day,sitting on a grass hill,and looking up at the clear blue skies filled with pure white clouds. While listening to the wind I slowly close my eyes and fall asleep. It also makes me think of time and memories.

[DeathRebel369]

Distant time and distant memories

[TheStemi4ever]

@DeathRebel369 wow that made me completley relaxed xD

[irena7777777]

Is that a clear blue sky or a cloudy sky??

[00667799]

1st time hearing this...very relaxin'

[ilovemusic0023]

IN LOVE... thats all i need to say about this track

[tinteee]

great song

[TRIARII117]

amazing song

[2QueenD]

awesome....very relaxing!!

[epundo3]

they used this song on a palm pre commercial i just saw it

[yaya1622]

I thought so!!

[jazzytravis100]

@epundo3 i knew i wasnt hearing things!!!!!

[Scubadevils]

Excellent track, thank you. I have had this album sitting in my Amazon basket for a couple of weeks now and hearing this drove me to take the plunge and checkout!

[ilovemusic0023]

i heard this for the 1st time the other week... and i got the whole album straight away!! B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L

[novayne]

@Scubadevils should have torrented and downloaded the entire album for free off of TPB or Demonoid silly, this is the internet, you don't have to pay for anything!

[Sanjuaro]

@novayne Nothing against torrents but if everyone did that then the artists that made these songs wouldn't be able to continue making them. I'm not saying that I don't download albums myself for free but when I download from a small time artist like Marconi Union I make sure to buy the album if I like it, which I love this album so I bought it.

[novayne]

@Sanjuaro - They didn't lose any money is far as I see it. I would have never bought the album either way. So downloading it doesn't hurt! If anything it helps spread their work to more people, keeps me interested and maybe I'll go to a concert, buy a t shirt, or recommend them to my friends. Artists will have to be more creative, and as an artist myself I understand this.

[tanates777]

great great great!!!

[Lyko19]

WOW THIS MAKES ME REALLY RELAXED!!

[Th3UprightMan]

@Lyko19 THEN STOP SCREAMING!!

[epundo3]
