E.S. Posthumus - Isfahan

[cuangjen]

what is " Isfahan " ?

[KayBox3053]

@cuangjen its a city in Iran I believe.

[cuangjen]

@KayBox3053 tanx for info.

[AbehHavij]

@cuangjen Isfahan is a very beautiful and historic city in Iran. Just as beautiful and amazing as this song by E.S. Posthumus. I have died and went to heaven. Great job guys.

[cuangjen]

@AbehHavij tanx for info

[AquarielCharm]

@AbehHavij - This is what my Heaven will sound like when I pass on. "Nara" is my other favorite which I'll be uploading on Zippcast . com this weekend. Regrettably, in 2010, it was announced that Franz Vonlichten had died. After giving notice of his brother's death in November 2011, his brother Helmut announced the formation of a new band called "Les Friction," a preview at his new work of a track called "Torture" can be found at Amazon. R.I.P. Franz, your music lives on forever. AC

[Thelastdragonfly]

This is my favorite song off their album, in a way my soul finds solace

[FauxPas091]

i don't see why people try to whore themselves to votes. it's not like you get rewarded for it either. all you get is a shit-ton of spam in your messages from everyone replying to you.

[samurai24107]

slowly taking me away from pain and sorrow... filling my heart with peace.. I can't hear anything else now... My mind is absorbed through this melody...

a strange feeling awakens deep inside my heart...

finally I feel as if I have reached to the shore of peace and perfection.. nothing else but this melody,.. again and again,, soothing...

forgetting my tears and depression, I now let my soul fly among the clouds, as I detach my being from this world....

[circamuffin]

Tssstss tsssss I got nothin er sumpthin tsss

[blkdrago]

for the first time, I...found...peace.

[joquanpro]

This song... I can imagine myself leaving the United States and moving to a relaxed, peaceful life in Cambridge UK, working for my dream company: Jagex Games Studio. I listen to this while looking at pictures of Cambridge - it totally fits. ;) Now that I heard it again, I can't wait until I actually DO get to fulfill my dream of today!

[EAcomposer1991]

Now this is baby makin music.

[TheNewBlackster]

Why did this make me so sleepy...

Its a great song.

[100percentbabeLOL]

Wow Epic this music takes you to another place, away from the sh!t in this World!

[STarCRAFT4BRITS]

1:34 the eargasm starts

[STarCRAFT4BRITS]

Holy shit eargasm with this plus headphones.... Oh god...

[IcyBluJay]

I'm using this song for my Orchestra vs. Electronica project! Thanks, E.S. Posthumus for this song and exgeeinteractive for uploading it!

[Rachman1337]

I was studying History and listening to this, and the next section I read was about Isfahan.

I can't tell if Oracle13 is a genius and knew he could pull that comment off, or an idiot whose post got made great

[dorgrim]

When I hear this piece, I feel as though I am floating over the remains of a tragic event, although I feel at peace. I see dead all over, but a new sun rising, and children of the future crawling out of safe areas to start a fresh beginning. Light surges through my soul and downwards onto the children, erasing hate and pain. Everything will be okay. The great tragedy has sparked a new, fresh page in the history of man.

[K3vyB]

@dorgrim children of the future crawling out of safe areas? more like piles of dead kids burning and rotting.

The ultimate end, no salvation - the final moment of reflection on the past.

[dorgrim]

@K3vyB Uh...dude? That is just what I imagine...there is no right or wrong to it...some people...

[a5703089]

真是棒極了^^

[imafirinmalaser]

LAWL MY MUMMY COMES FROM ISFAHAN! :3

[PoyPoPoy]

this is my favorite song by e.s. posthumus. feels like i cant fail when i listen to this.

[lupina015]

Now I can die in peace 

[ypbbmkmetal]

where is E.S. Posthumus from ???

Isfahan is one of the greatest citys in my country ( Persia [Iran] )

[Customgamer9]

@ypbbmkmetal its a group, not a single person if i remember correctly

[ypbbmkmetal]

@Customgamer9

yeah i know !! same as groups like era or enigma

i was wonder about the name

[PROXIMASTARMAN]

superb.

[g4cee]

How did you survive ?

[v3xd]

This is nothing less than beautiful...

[Aerex12]

Is the old man Paul or Peter. Not sure myself.

[Aerex12]

@Aerex12: Wait. I don't know what I was thinking. It is Paul.

[eclipsesonic]

@Aerex12 Actually, it's Matthew, as the painting is called, "The Inspiration of St. Matthew" by Caravaggio.

[Tostito12345]

Sublime music !

[bloumity]

just a Masterpiece!

[executableapplet]

*with Isfahan

[KCspur92]

While listening to this song, I find myself in a place unfamiliar to me. It's cold and dark. As I try to comprehend what's happening, a large light suddenly surrounds me. As I look up, I witness figure so bright and magnificent that I am too blinded to look at it directly. The figure speaks no words, but rather, it makes a hand gesture telling me to follow it. The figure leads me to a large door, in which it opens. I walk inside and find myself in a realm of everlasting peace and prosperity.

[Rageah0lic]

"BITCH! CHEAT OFF SOMEONE ELSE!"

[FigurativeSpeech]

no words. This must be the soundtrack in the elevator to heavens.

[boboDaKilla]

@pissassguy U MAD?

[Oracle13]

Ironic. The most retarded comments get the most votes...

[freedomacy]

@Oracle13

You joined Youtube very early, i would expect you got used to them now :-)

[uzumakimounir]

@Oracle13 Ironic indeed...

[Boogers32150]

@Oracle13 That's not ironic, its just moronic. What would be ironic if someone said to themselves, "Hah, NO ONE is going to vote for these comments!" And then they become uber popular.

[theeboredone]

@Oracle13 Retarded in your opinion.

[nevadie133]

@Oracle13 There's a paradox here. If your comment gets the most votes, is it right? Because if it's right, then it isn't retarded.

Which means that it's wrong.

Which means it's retarded.

But if it's wrong and retarded, then it SHOULD Have the most votes, according to you.

And if you have such great insight, then your comment isn't retarded!

[Qwertmaster33]

@nevadie133

You remind me of an old pinnochio paradox.

Pinnochio: My nose will grow now.

And the universe spontaneously combusts...

[sjeggy6]

@nevadie133

is it right? Because if it's right, then it isn't retarded.

that makes no sense :p

[IhearaHunter117]

@Oracle13 Ironic, you got the top comment xD

[KardashianVideos]

@Oracle13 lool, how ironic. your comment got the most votes..

[Scelenaarwen]

@Oracle13 I see what you did there.

[Capoknin]

@Oracle13 The awkward moment when your comment has the most votes

[leananshae]

@Capoknin where's the 100 votes -all-at-once button? That comment deserves the number one spot, by far!

[TheAnonMessage]

@Oracle13 Wait so your comment is retarded? LULZ

[SvenskaXSuomi]

This song sounds like it'd make an amazing yet heart wrenching funeral song. Or something of the sort.

[Kaveh1994]

No one really knows how old Isfahan is. The Persians arrived there at around 2000B.C. but before that, the city was part of the Elamite civilization.

[haloclicher]

Old Man- "No wait I can't go yet i still have to write the good part!"

[sinashsh]

Isfahan or Espahan is an ancient city located in Iran. I had been inspiring for many visitors for its beautiful architectures and culture.

I miss my hometown so much!!

[eckataa]

when i listen posthumus im so patient and a better poker player ;D

[seisey0]

A great war between all nations on the world has just ended. Im walking through empty street. There are destroyed buildings around me, some of them still standing in fire. Im watching all those society remains and I still can't believe that people completely destroyed the Earth and themselves. Im wondering if maybe I should die too.

This is what I am thinking about while listening to this song.

[5mdac]

@seisey0 wtf are you taking?? why does you tube and the internet creat people that talk utter shite hahahah

Can people not just listen to the music involved in composing a piece without thinking they are a fucking hero

[QtipRocketLauncher]

@5mdac You're exactly what you described. He's saying what he feels when he listens to this music, you're criticizing him for that.

If you don't like what he has to say, then ignore it. Music is to be interpreted however you want to interpret it.

[5mdac]

@QtipRocketLauncher There is interpretation of music, appreciation and acknoledgment, however, he is just acting like a total cunt

[QtipRocketLauncher]

@5mdac How is he being a "total cunt"? He's describing the scene that plays out in his head when he listens to the music. That's interpretation.

[saggoh]

@seisey0 hmm one of the better comments i have read in my 4 year experience with this website... you are an amazing righter.

[saggoh]

@saggoh writter* lol

[jettajason24]

@saggoh You mean "writer", LOL......

[saggoh]

@jettajason24 do you just go around picking on peeople's typos around youtube? not mucch of loser are you

[jettajason24]

@saggoh I'm not picking on anybody. I'm simply helping them out and doing them a favor by not making them look stupid. You should be thanking me for helping to make this world a little better place...... But thanks for trying...... :)

[saggoh]

@jettajason24 omg you are so nice !! im so sorry, i thought you were like another one of those people who just screw around here

[executableapplet]

@saggoh he listens to the Posthumus.... trust me, there's no screwing around Isfahan . . . LOL

[jettajason24]

@saggoh It's ok. It's all good. Thanks for understanding me. :)

[g4cee]

@seisey0 How the hell did you survive ?

[TheKingdomofErnor]

@seisey0 Sounds dumb as fuck.

[FierceGriffon]

@TheKingdomofErnor Hey, seisey0 got a point. What IF china and USA went to war? This planet would become a nuclear wasteland, all thanks to human stupidity.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

@FierceGriffon That's not a likely outcome, considering China's nuclear capabilities, nor is that RELEVANT in any way. It's a song, not a trite statement on humanity.

[FierceGriffon]

@TheKingdomofErnor Hey, its not much about this song anymore lol. And ofcourse its not relevant! But some people are just too messed up and stupid. Sometimes I think this world is doomed anyway. But that could be just my pessimistic opinion. Back to this song now lol.

[syto300]

@TheKingdomofErnor false

[MelissaSmileInsanity]

@seisey0 epic. =)

[rynam1217]

Great great music! Inspiring...a little resemblance with Vangelis..and that's ok for me!

[LeUberTroll]

this song plays when i open the door after coming back from school... glorious victory

[nitromeplay]

What is Isfahan?? could someone please tell me a lot of E.S Posthumus songs are named after ancient cities is this?

[Hairofthewolf]

@nitromeplay Isfahan is a city situated in Iran.

[AstralAbraxas]

@Hairofthewolf my prof is from Isfahan :D

[barndogxx]

Wish these albums were cheaper.. so I could buy em all.

[sagievy]

This is so beautiful!

[olie4054]

This song and Nara are two of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard

:S

Im gonna cry

[MrSteveCast]

I can feel myself floating up to the heavens while listening to this magnificent piece. RIP Franz Vonlichten. May your soul rest in peace...

[xpentor]

A new king has raised to his new throne. Long live the king!

[jsmugly]

This song makes me rember my fallen brothers, makes me remember the hate and the violence, it makes me want to ask god why.

[saggoh]

@jsmugly do ask and you'll no the reason, :)

[DaxB92]

@saggoh Know*

[saggoh]

@DaxB92 know

[xmsable]

Amazing..

[Juka94]

this melody reminds me on a song of muse...

[The1AndOnlyMike]

@FireRunner905

They name the songs after past or current Greek cities.

[Key0ne]

@The1AndOnlyMike Yeah, right smartypants... they name their songs after past or current greek cities... because Isfahan is or was a greek city... ur sure? Allright... wait... rly sure? Aww, okay...

[The1AndOnlyMike]

@Key0ne

Why did I say Greek? And why do you have such a shitty attitude to a simple mistake? Oh, because we're both humans. ;) It's not specifically Greek cities, just ancient, abandoned, destroyed or current cities.

[UpTehCooch]

@The1AndOnlyMike Isfahan is a city in Iran...

[MezmerEyes1992]

WHOA! this is epic!

HOLY SHIT!

He DOES have a hat! D=

@voodkah actually i think it's supposed to be a halo XD

@foxatheart111

..... *Head spontaneously explodes*

HOLY FUCK YOU'RE RIGHT!

[ShadowBolt200]

@GraveGriever jajajaj me too..because u said it!!XD if not i would be 99 and still no hat!!

[SamuraiPie8111]

@GraveGriever thats a halo

[dmh091]

To anyone who has (seriously) studied music: Do you get the feeling of Mahler undertones in this piece? During the whole thing, but especially 0:40-1:00 ish I am reminded of the 9th. I wondered why I liked this so much... 

[GrayGuard]

@dmh091 Matlab confirms this.

[dmh091]

@GrayGuard

What the Hell does Matlab have to do with music or Mahler?

[GrayGuard]

@dmh091 eh, my prof. said they have similar something, I asked him about it when he walked in the lab when playing it after seeing the comment. typed some shit into the program with the 9th and this song.

[hellotelephone1]

This song reminds me of Blade Runner for some reason...

[segovian]

@hellotelephone1 It does sounds a bit like the Blade Runner soundtrack. I think, not sure, that the original composer was Vangelis.

[hiroshir]

What the? fa real dude.

[xXxDethMetalxXx]

I like this better then my death metal =D

[McPfoot]

@xXxDethMetalxXx It's not hard to be better then the worst music in the world.

[darkenlightenment]

@McPfoot But its very easy to be a troll.

[oshamajik]

@xXxDethMetalxXx The chord progression is simply fascinating... death metal should incorporate such elements more often!

[hippydude89]

@oshamajik melodeath does.

[Jimmy42118]

@xXxDethMetalxXx

haha yh this is a big step up in quality of music

[SvenskaXSuomi]

@xXxDethMetalxXx HAHA!

So do I... I kind of abandoned my love for death metal and came to this. 

[Backtrakk21]

"...and then man took his first steps on a new world and couldn't help but ask himself, what now?"

kinda song that fits a point in life (movie, tv, game) when the doors just opened and YOU decide the next step =)

[viptim94]

Hardly ever does a song affect me as emotionally as this one does

[Cableguy008]

All their soundtracks are good, but this one is truly indescribable... this will never leave my mp3 player

[ohmygoditsamazing]

the picture, my interpretation:

Angel to old man: oh, you have aids

Old man to angel: holy shit, angels exist?!

[LifeLongRace]

@ohmygoditsamazing Angel to old man: well, duh! And if I hit you, it would hurt as much as any other existing human being!
