Jon Hopkins - The Wider Sun

[manuxyo]

I think you're god Jon Hopkins! <3

[XJustSomeCoolDudeX]

Still doesn't beat Light through the veins.

[DanMicaelLamberti]

Te remueve el Espiritu este tema, te tumba al piso, te hace recordar viejos y a la vez buenos y MALOS MOMENTOS, ES INCREIBLE.

[clauca22]

This song always soothes me but to the point that I end up letting all my emotions just flow and I end up crying ; _ ; I love this song

[triplights]

this is what my soul sounds like

[hyethga]

This is the music that starts to play in your head as you turn over to the other side of the bed, glance at your wife, smile, and admire the sun emerging above the horizon. It's going to be a good day.

[lllstrikesmember2]

@hyethga your comment almost made me cry .. thnk you

[attaia]

An open ocean. Eyes staring out into the waves at boat with the colors of their house painted upon the sails, and in the boat the dead man who had finally lived out his years.

The procession leads his voyage into the water, and with a pull and release a fiery arrow finds the boat and paints the darkening sky with the dancing orange and reds and smokey purple that finds the sky quicker than the flicks of popping ashes.

The eyes watch. Stern and strong and hopeful.

[redcard1990]

This is DEFINITELY going to get played when I'm getting married and at my funeral!

[GrapeButter]

The mix of beauty and sadness...

This is magnificent.

[HelloKellen]

......oh......my.....hopkins.

[antistar1000]

Justin Bieber!!! Could you come up with something as beautiful as this? No. No, you couldn't....now...FUCK OFF.

[robdarsh]

@antistar1000

You'll be amazed at what he does here:

watch?v=mYOCaJzW04Y&feature=re­lated

[robdarsh]

Actually listen to what i said below while listening to this. Your mind will blow up.

[juiceman38804]

i was talking to my friend and said something about sunsets/rises while listening to this.. i didnt even know the title

[rossshedboy]

Sounds very Dirty Three...which isn't a bad thing

[danwperry]

@rossshedboy very warren ellisy, agreed

[smartmusicman00]

for two minutes and thirty-six seconds, the earth stands still

[waddewel]

@hjuytredskj LOL

[jingsken]

Nice post-rock

[newwave808]

@Mitholas it continues to the next song called "vessel".

[hjuytredskj]

@LTUCandy

if you really dont like it then dont listen to it and dont fucking say shit about shit or else ill fucking rape your butt cuz im a gay fag and thats that

[shugalluful]

@ slowgold20...your dad sounds like an interesting man. My father taught me about classical music, my older sister taught me about jazz, and my older brother taught me about progressive rock, and experimental music. I'm lucky to have had such a varied influence while growing up. I am spending time w/ my 10 year old daughter so she is be able to recognize art from garbage, talent as opposed to "celebrity", and to recognize genius when it appears before her.

[LTUCandy]

stupid song....

[WatermelonSociety]

it's GENIOUS. A MASTERPIECE. words can't describe.. suddenly the world started to seem so... wonderful, after hearing this

[shugalluful]

Simplicity, purity - truly a wonderful piece. Music has been an intrinsic part of me since I was a boy (I'm 50) - my taste was always viewed as "weird" by my peers. When I was 15, my friends were in awe of Peter Frampton - I was listening to Fripp, Eno, Cale, etc. I was 16 when "friends" caught me listening to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring really LOUD, completely lost in it, I was quickly excommunicated from their tribe...Fuck 'em. ;~}

[slowgold20]

@shugalluful my dad studied with fripp once... Im so grateful that he passed good music taste down to me :)

[MerrildRene]

Just amazing.!

[rococoness]

omg..<3

[coldplayerbuckland]

pretty sure this is in the movie "The Road." great song

[sheatheman]

screw you ken burns effect

[XxBrittaneyxX]

this better be played at my funeral

[jessica07820]

I feel like watching everyone dying and running on the titanic..

[jessica07820]

I feel watching everyone dying and running on the titanic..

[slowgold20]

listend to this song after breaking up

[jjswimmer2014]

ugh!! i want like a 10 minn edit of the end haha that would be great!!!

[mkayser0]

Interesting how the music begins with very warm, near, and organic instrumentation, and ends reverb-drenched, remote and receding. It does seem like a musical representation of the passing of a soul.

[donisalexandru]

I wish I was not such a cold-blooded hardass so that I could cry on this. :')

[HoangBui92]

I think I just found what I want played at my funeral

[pallanium]

I must buy/download this song!

[slowgold20]

:D the brian Eno of Violins... makes me proud to play this instrument

[themilkinator33]

I want this to play every time I walk into a room. I'd look and feel like a hero who just saved the world but just lost my brother or something.

[SuperArschlex]

Uh, Yeah!

I'm the first who disliked the video because I really didn't like it.

I mean, it isn't bad but.....not really amazing for me......sorry guys!

Beside it, I got send here by pwnisher!

.....honestly I don't understand why this clip is such successful.....

[slowgold20]

@SuperArschlex I see where ur coming from... u just have to be in to this kind of stuff. personally I love it!

[thomaslarssomn]

@SuperArschlex It's not exactly successful. It has about 25000 views.

[SuperArschlex]

@thomaslarssomn ....But just 3 Dislikes!

This is REAL success for me, but there are different opinions....

[eggman1002]

whos the one DERP Head who would dislike this?

[URreadingThis1]

SORY GUYS SORRY. I disliked it on accident. i couldn't see because my eyes were watery.

[yellowkiwi8]

you know a song is good when there are no dislikes and 22.5k viewers

[mainger11]

or An Ending (ascent) by Brian Eno



[mainger11]

la fin ressemble fortement à "to heal" d'underworld

(the end of this track look like a underworld's track "to heal")

good stuff

[ZaliasSviesmetis]

Just EarAzing



[zafdragon]

the ending reminds me of the enigma song, and the lyrics, "in every color, there's a light.. In every stone sleeps a crystal. Remember the shame when you used to say 'Man is the dream of the dolphin'.

[Casilofi]

/watch?v=gz0RAPmp8DQ

[Vannius6]

Why play this at a funeral?

Up to 2:00 it has a clear sound, one that describes hardships and nobility in life.. Addressing the essence of purity for as far a man could live his life. After 2:00 It describes something pure disappearing and vaporizing back into the world, an expression, a mark, a touch of heaven for all to be felt as a great man returns his body to the soil, ready to be taken by other beings to return his soul back towards the surface by ways of nature.

[OneHandTwoFingers]

Thumbs up if you just got ear orgasm!

[fuckingvini]

@OneHandTwoFingers Fuck yea!!!

[Kinespojken]

@OneHandTwoFingers A.k.a. eargasm!

[triplights]

@OneHandTwoFingers thumbs up if you just got an eargasm!

[sugarcloud09]

@OneHandTwoFingers EARGASM INTENSITY :D

[ajgreen24]

Sometimes no words, no pictures can describe the essence of true sound, true music...

[hieroglyph321]

The ending is phenomenal.

[Vannius6]

absolutely...fucking...beautif­ul.

[ILPORTIERE11]

adidas rugby!!!!

[Bonifratz]

Beautiful. Reminds me of the beginning of Aqualung's "Arrivals".

[0110equalsix]

2:36 doesn't do this bit justice!

[Jaminjames21]

Sorry, thought it was topshop but its actually Topman. If you go onto the topman youtube channel they have made an entire short film to a jon hopkins soundtrack, i think its this song. its really beautiful.

[Jaminjames21]

Just saw a really beautiful Film. This song was the main soundtrack.

Well worth a watch... Its called "sid" and its by a director called laurence ellis. its for topshop i think??

[Corvandus]

Anyone looking for music similar, I suggest you check out Grouper. She's incredible. Different, of course -- experimental ambient acoustics, lo-fi, haunting lyrical grace that does an amazing job of becoming part of the sound rather than dominating it as a focal point of the pieces involved. Them's that like her, you're welcome :3

[MsRaLia]

náááádherné !!! :) my dream- to have it in my mp3..

[littlerainworm550]

@MsRaLia

aha slovak!!!sranda.

nepoznam nikoho to svojho okolia co pozna tuto sira jona:P

je to cisty genius

[moxica80]

this is beautiful. im happy to be alive and could listen to this song (lucky to have hearing sense :D) . makes me feel like im in a boat, rowing thru a canal delta, on a cold morning, headin to the shore were i will save my life, after a ww 2 battle. i wish to jon hopkins good health to make more songs like this one. salut

[Tranc3Fr3akk]

This track is so amazing, so beautiful, just breath taking. Too bad it's only 2:36, but the greatest 2 minutes of my life.

[PanMakaron]

It makes me think about Ireland/Scotland.

[chipp0]

im not sure if i like this one.... cus everytime i listen to it, i want to cry :P, a bit too moving for me for just a casual listen, very beautiful though, undeniable

[floydsexploding]

Lost for words

[darkshage]

just magnificent :)

[SaturnProds]

correction, my dear newwave808, not one of, THE most. The violins are EXTRAORDINARY. An array of lights and rays flash through my skull when i close my eyes and hear this.

[Bhousm76]

somethin about this track..

kind of gives me the same feeling as "Oregon" by The Cinematic Orchestra.

[Aartbeats]

If you love this, listen Jónsi & Alex - Daniell in the Sea

[HardStyleLondon]

@Aartbeats you know whats up. indian summer is another winner

[SimonGuitarPlays]

@Aartbeats thats right really recommanded! does someone know similar music?

[TheTiffanylaura]

This piece is very sombering.....but so beautiful aswell.....

[sweetcandyescape]

beautiful music

[nickgreen105]

This is unreal ive got the album on my ipod and i can't stop listening to it. Just so haunting and beautiful. I wish this track was longer! Stunning.

[misiekpucek123]

THING!!

[annullator]

I think it's called »The Wider Sun,« not »Wilder.« But yes, it's wonderful. I have been listening to it all day while driving through Berlin on a dark November day. Just beautiful.

[livitire]

Very beautiful music
