Bibio - The Ephemeral Bluebell

[Blackmetal989]

This songs just makes me wish i lived somewhere like canada

[chewingonpearls19]

I sound so lame and pretentious recounting this but the other day someone asked me how I would describe beauty and I played them this song - it says it better than words ever could.

[vedgehead420]

For the longest time i thought this was The Books

[DaleKamp]

Wow. 1939.



[pretzelproductions10]

This song makes me wanna go camping in the summer and do nothing but connect with nature :)

[j4ckdotcom]

i am filled with the joy of ages, an archetypal bliss, one that bleeds slowly into being, probing and expanding. Temporally abrupt, its length all but long enough. 

[dramasujei]

ahhh

[dsmwright]

This song reminds me of waiting for the sun to rise on the beach and wondering what the day would bring with it..Feeling lost but with the comfort and grounding that comes with feeling close to nature. I often wished this song had been made into a longer story that went on for hours and carried me further into my new day.

Thanks Stephen!

[JbRi08]

This reminds me of a song I heard in Man in the Moon with Reese Witherspoon.

It was the one of those scenes where she was swimming with that guy she was in love with.

But anyways, yes...this song is AMAZING

[omerboo]

I don't know why, but every time I listen to this amazing melody, it takes to far places in my mind and makes me think deeply about life.

I guess that's the magic of The Ephemeral Bluebell.

[phagotom]

I love you, Bibio.

[MadeleineMarkos]

Three people don't appreciate love or beauty. I feel sorry for them!

[TheBoyupstairs]

its been years since i found any new music that makes me want to dance naked through fields busting moves like a complete twat and also brings introspective tears to my eyes at the same time. Bibio is a genius, i have yet to find a track of his i dislike.

[yaaancey]

This makes me so happy to be a part of this world

[sunshineplurr]

Holy shit this song is amazing

[ThisIsT0ve]

I am a north western varietal. This post gets me so damp. I miss trees.

[opalshuman]

today is a terrible day

[brookecreative11]

this is just incredible. does bibio have any new albums out?

[mrsaganscosmos]

@brookecreative11 He has a new album called mind bokeh out, but it's not very similar to the stuff he is doing here. It's still super cool but not as good as the stuff on ambivalence avenue or this album.

[wolftanksken]

Good to know that 89125 people still have a very good music taste

[YokoKawashima]

Oh my God.

[hippoes14]

Who would dislike this vid? it was difficult enough to find so who would find it then dislike it? -- anyway i love this

[jwdipietro]

This is one of my favorite videos ever. Your vision makes me feel so much love for the earth and I thank you for this piece.

[PolkaBrot]

reminds me of endless summer nights..

[intangibleme]

ahhh the Oregon coast... so beautiful

[dsf429]

Wow who would have thought that folk acoustic instruments would mix so well with electronic beats. This song sounds so natural. It reminds me of someone walking down a trail and being mesmerized by nature.

[extremelybusy123]

This song is great... but it seems to be covering the same ground as Broken Social's first record in 2001 (Feel Good Lost). I like, but it's not groundbreaking by any means.

[MidnightDreamer240]

Ohh, I miss you Oregon and the girl you introduced me to. Maybe we'll meet again someday

[jonnyjaywick]

on second look, its so obviously not the astoria bridge.

[jonnyjaywick]

great song, great video. loved the old cars going over the astoria-megler bridge.

[hustonlee]

This is so random to me. I just went searching for any of your videos and it is so cool to see video of where I'm from. Great song!

[Myrenditionofanangel]

This video is timeless and yet still makes me think of all the beauty and profound words that nature and life can bring to us.The music, is what sets it all alight,the hope,the love,the journey it takes you on,the complete transformation is sets inside you;like being kissed for the first time,or learning to ride a bike,or singing your first song,or being in love.This song makes think of all the good things in life.This song continues to amaze me. I love you Raphie :) this song is for you.

[TheMinims]

This song is awesome. I came across Bibio because of the Amazon Kindle advert. I just wish they would play more music like this on the radio more often so people can find it without having to look for a long time. This song is better than anything at the charts at the moment.

[stjambience]

very cool!

[WerdnaRaleehcs]

this is truely amazingggg

[jrgold2]

this is truly something special. this was produced awhile ago onto here, but i just had the pleasure of watching and thank you!

[snimwins]

I love this song, I find it speaks to me, and the retro footage is just epic. You know he's a good musician when the music speaks for itself!

[superrrhymes]

wowowowow he is so good at backtracking love bibio

[jwdipietro]

This video with the most beautiful Bibio song makes me cry for everything beautiful. I can't stop watching it. Thank you

[florijnisfijn]

This song and video deserve higher quality video and audio!

[ryanwwebb]

what is the effect on the video seen at 0:07 (something about the color of the sun on the trees). It just gives the me the nicest feelings. I feel this is a common effect among old film of the nature when it is sunny. Is there a name for this effect?

[TheUprightCitizen]

Happy to say this was the first song I ever cried to. It's quite literally orgasmic. 

[defeatingthenorm]

Why do I feel so melancholy?

[anythingfortrance]

the video fits the music...

[xXlolxtechXx]

0:40 is it just me, or is that a BUTLOAD of weed?

[TheUprightCitizen]

@xXlolxtechXx Hell, it's in 1939. It could have been a hemp field. 

[walkwithme]

beautiful music...

[sethik101]

Bears, man. Bears.

[canipokeu]

god i love the oregon rainforest

[couleurk7]

lovely weird...



[suppmrmushu]

so...ephemeral

[phillyP84]

what a tune, took me a few weeks to find it, first heard it on a camping trip, nice upload

[nodint277]

@phillyP84 Good to see a fellow camper :thumbs up: I always have such fond memories of stuff I hear on camping trips, those songs always stick with me.

[kurtchircop]

@nodint277 i heard this and chromakey dreamcoat by boc in the same camping trip...and they got stuck in my life for ever :)

[Craiznezz]

I miss my old account lol T.T

[jkaneshirosan]

Crayznezz couldnt have described it better myself

[TheRabidMoths]

Rocket science is rocket science, but who ever put this video together, is a genius.

[XxslitwristsxX]

Fuck yeah Oregon!

[Saydang]

This song is an absolutely beautiful accompaniment to the Kodachrome slide footage. I'm gonna smoke to it and see how it really sounds.

[anthonya13]

woah I used to drive past cape san sebastian park shown in this video everyday on my way to school! grew up in brookings oregon and went to school in gold beach when I was a kid, drove by the coast shown here in oregon every day..... awesome, and great song!

[anthonya13]

awesome vid, I used to live in brookings oregon on highway 101! i can rcognzie some of the coast in thsi vid. also lived in medford oregon. awesome music

[hamsarb]

I'm loving this actually ...

[jiggaberryhazejr]

another oregonian checking in. First time I've felt any sort of state pride in years.

[MordecaiTemplar]

one of his best songs in my opinion,

good call using vintage footage...

especially since it features old school Oregon.

grew up here and this make me feel..content.

nice work.

[shenkhau]

this is the most beautiful footage i've seen in years and i'm in love with the song. it makes me feel so good. yes, i am an oregonian :-)

[hatsofftofrank]

i think i love every song bibio has made, an antidote to the radio, makes me think of Nick Drake sometimes, especially some of his older stuff. keep it up! we need you!!

[jiggaberryhazejr]

@hatsofftofrank I too feel a strong Nick Drake vibe from some of his stuff

[tiff0089]

I am finding myself listening to more and more music like this. Can anyone recomend similar artists for me to check out? Thanks!

[123Toast]

dot tape dot, boards of canada, the album leaf, four tet

[10zen10]

@tiff0089 Helios, Helios, Helios. and of course Boards of Canada.

[rhythmwork]

@tiff0089 Check out Need More Sources'-'Shed', anything by The Books, The Boats (earlier stuff is more guitar orientated, new stuff is more electronic), Grand Union, From Leaf to Feather; slightly more electronic-Savath & Savalas, Boom Clap Bachalors, Murcof; slightly even more electronic-Felix Laband, Im Not A Gun. Some are along different lines than Bibio, but all have a sort of dreamlike quality. ;)

[reuabmik]

eluvium, they will destroy you, lymbyc systym

[oregone]

Where did you find the 1939 film? It's pretty cool.

[ek00rb]

TONIGHT FOR FREE IN PARIS HELL YES

[SchnubbiXS]

:(  .

[nightimelady]

just this minute disovered this band, great big smile on my face right now :)

[shimmeryshelly]

'Vignetting the Compost' is an absolutely gorgeous album. The first album I listened to from him was 'Hand Cranked' and that's where I fell in love. It makes me think of being farther away from civilization. Walking through a thick forest. Discovering life. Soaking in the warm golden rays of a sunset. Bibio makes feel good music :) and I listen to it often.

[NOLaChi220]

what a gift it was to first hear hand cranked and fi. i think those of us that know of bibio are LUCKYYYY!!! what beautiful music... <3

[rhythmwork]

@shimmeryshelly Check out 'Fi' and 'Ovals and Emeralds' ep as well. He has 2 new albums out too—'Ambivalence Avenue' and 'The Apple and the Tooth' (which has remixes n stuff), they're both very different from the previous albums, though you can still hear earlier elements. ;)

[clearbluemoon]

bibio new artist ? oO

[shimmeryshelly]

No, he's definitely been around. Check out the albums: Fi, Hand Cranked, Vignetting the Compost, Ovals and Emeralds, Ambivalence Avenue, and Apple and the Tooth. :)

[homePicShow]

What an amazing new artist

[oceanboundgirl]

Woah wonderful vid, can never go wrong with purdy purdy trees!:)

[clearbluemoon]

ah, okey

[sibafutukuri]

やっていることというのは、大して珍しいことではないし、むしろ­つまらないのだけど、結果として聴こえる音響が、やはり素晴らし­い。

[zoidberg590]

I could never choose a favourite Bibio track, but this would definitely up there. From the opening notes it breaks my heart.

[crayZneZZ]

Such a great song. Reminds me of : Being with that special someone , skateboarding ( my preferred method of transportation ) off into the sunset without care , Taking a nature walk in the mountains all day , Etc. Just makes me love life and want whats best for me and everyone else. Pretty much just motivates me to do well and succeed in life. :]

[igetbuisy]

@crayZneZZ Thats awesome . I share the same view. truly beautiful -coming from 20, male, straight -lol

[mawk20]

The song and video combined bring about a great peaceful ambience. Definitely favorited.

Thanks for posting it!

Cheers

[clearbluemoon]

[GrasslandsAway]

This song is so creatively beautiful. I don't understand how someone can compose a song this inspiring and gorgeous. This song is my incentive to live. Listen to how all of the multiple sounds blend perfectly together.. The beauty of Folk Rock.

[daikuarumando]

The song and video go together perfectly!

Thank you for pairing my favourite track from Vignetting The Compost with such a awe-inspiring video.

[bigfootlovelifeandal]

This is probably one of my favourite tracks from my favourite album this year.

So effortlessly beautiful, and so texturally and aesthetically unique and rich.

[jfroosh]
