[kontejasismyusername]

This song first came on one of my Pandora radio stations, and I was mad cause it was completely unrelated to the music I was listening to, but I heard it out and now I have a whole different station devoted to it....hahaha.

[Amanda94Gonzalez]

So beautiful.

[Newyorklove234]

This....is a 10 minute MASTERPIECE

[nursmark1]

this song sound so refreshing.

[ToooLegitProductions]

I listen to this song and wish that it could somehow bring everything i've loved back into my life.

[ImSoCoolItBurns]

@ToooLegitProductions I wish I could give you millions of thumbs-ups because....that's exactly how I feel too~

[ibleedredwhitendblue]

Explosions in my pants.....

[pdtennis99]

i cant sleep without this song, literally

[danmistry07]

i used to call my ex-girlfriend the moon. it was an awesome metaphor too. i miss her. i want her to understand how i feel. and to know that we are not meaningless. this song makes me think of that. live in true love :)

[lilbaboo2]

play this video and listen to sound of rain without music. Experience true bliss and motivation.

[hosway1992]

@lilbaboo2 I actually do that every night. rainy mood.com and this song just wow.

[tobalcainalhambra]

@hosway1992 Thank you. My soul will look after you while we all get to the eternal dream.

[lovedivasong]

just discovered explosions in the sky.... they are awesome!!!!!!! so relaxing now my new studying music :P

[Toml420]

this is one of my favourite eits songs, it evokes such a deep mood

[NarutosDemonForm]

I cannot believe that I missed my opportunity to go see them live. It saddens me but at the same time, I pray from the chance for them to come back and perform so I may have the honor of watching them live and live in the moments that these songs create for us.

[kentriz182]

@NarutosDemonForm I saw them last night and they are amazing. Try not to miss them next time! haha

[KODtheawsome]

Hey could you put the name of the artwork in the description?

[ginnoveffect]

@KODtheawsome It's the album cover.

[ximedeppmercury]

simple, fuerte , hermoso :)

[StyloRoolz]

[AltCommunication]

@StyloRoolz

[KODtheawsome]

I get angry when other people listen to this music from other sources because this band is the only thing I like that makes me original!

[flipout62]

@KODtheawsome loser



[KODtheawsome]

@flipout62 Kind of the point dude.

[flipout62]

@KODtheawsome ???

[jwick6]

3 people are retarded.

[TheJesus35400]

@jwick6 maybe they dont like post rock

[jwick6]

@TheJesus35400 exactly... retarded...

[deebsboy]

This album is a post rock gem. Up there with Mogwai.

[spitupstars]

thanks for posting, friend. such an epic jam.

[sharkclip1]

[josuetnrwatchingyou]

@sharkclip1 todays explosions we know, is as good as it was then, dont get them wrong now

[zeekisathinker]

God bless these guys!!! im an instant fan!!! people check out my channel and ya gotta admit my lyrics would go perfect on these instrumentals :) im gonna pirate this beat just so i can get their attention to join the band wwoooo!!!

[ChampangeSuperNovaz]

I cannot express in word how forever grateful I am for discovering this awe-inspiring band.

I am going to one of their concerts on September 16th.

That night is going to be the best night of my life so far. I can't wait.

Explosions In The Sky Forever!

[MyDavey21]

I hear some titanic in there lol o 

[josuetnrwatchingyou]

saw them last night, amazing as hell, i've never had such a feeling that its indescribable, i felt like i died and those were the sounds of heaven opening unto me and when it all ended i revived into this world which is chaotic

[legomydamneggo]

@josuetnrwatchingyou sounds like my lsd trip

[WickyGirl]

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[xXyourmomsballsXx]

FUCK ALL OF YOU WITH YOUR FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS BULLSHIT. YOUR FUCKING RUINING THIS FOR ME RIGHT NOW.

[keirab133]

Amazing

[rslegend5]

i really can listen to this song over, and over, and over, and over,.....and over =]

[justinsweatt4]

obsessed



[spooki1000]

amazing song by an amazing band

[Experiences112]

1 hater missed the button.

[Shootthemoondown]

I LOVE IT. it corresponds with my youtube name.

[jensssskljhdkhs]

This is what the gods are listening to. All of them

[yaman1922]

from 5:31 on it was in the Al pacinos any given sunday speech i think

[VagrantWatcher213]

They don't have songs quite as great as this... the ending, especially the drums are so well handled especially for 5 minutes... It's just their most perfect song.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@VagrantWatcher213 Yeah, I agree it's their best song, but they have plenty of other great pieces. "First Breath After Coma" is another personal favorite of mine. A very different ending than this one, but similar in the sort of build-up-to-auditory-orgasm kind of thing. This is a great track of a great album, but if you're judging their albums on the whole, I have to say The Earth Is Not is a better album. This particular song is still my fave by them though.

[VagrantWatcher213]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds Have you heard their album The Rescue? Each of those songs were made in one day. It shows their amazing talent as composers.

[pilotguy87]

@Silverhell Nah I know that one. Its a different one I'm thinking of. I haven't been able to find it.

[oilboyy]

This is nice, you know? This; it's just nice.

[pleurachoc]

last year, our form travelled to spain by bus to celebrate high school graduation. it was a 15h drive.we drank a lot and bit by bit everyone around me fell asleep. i took my mp3player and laid me down on the floor and fell asleep finally, too. when i woke up, it was still night, everyone of my 50 mates slept and this song played on my mp3player. i cried. every time i listen to that, i feel to travel back to that time remembered by euphoria but also of the pain to say goodbye. unique piece.

[punkrapgirl]

wtf? who was the one person who disliked this video? >:(

[abighairywoman]

they come up with the most awesome song titles

[JayFalq]

Who the hell would dislike this song? Thats just crazy. and 5:35 - 10:01 is pure bliss

[LucidSpore]

@JayFalq It is because most people cannot hear a song that long for they do not connect with it as deep as people who truly feel and connect with music that is MAGIC hehe <3 cause yes i agree, it is fucking bliss :D honestly and i love , long songs always have always will. Never gonna change

[Munkat69]

From 5:30 - 10:01 That's my favorite.

[Munkat69]

I absolutely love this song.

[Ledford883]

This song should have been in Majora's Mask

[abuchaa]

best song ever

[crunchycooter]

This band must be from heaven. Just sayin. Its almost as beautiful as the angel that i talk to everyday, that desnt love me back the way i love her.

[dawndavenport]

5:45 onward = tingles. I love the gradual building.

[JosephDA2]

this makes me pumped. 

[cynoodles]

They dont need lyrics because their titles are enough.

[kingericio]

I saw these guys at Sasquatch, there were so many good bands there, but Explosions was still my favorite. The music is so profound, so emotional, and so hopeful! I hope they never stop!

[pilotguy87]

There is a track on Friday Night Lights that has this same basic beat and sounds very similar to the this song. Would anyone happen to know the name?

[ExplosionsintheSky27]

@pilotguy87 just check out the Friday Night Lights album, it has all the songs in it and it is probably "Your hand in Mine" or "A Poor Man's Memory"- Explosions in the Sky

[pilotguy87]

@ExplosionsintheSky27 Ya I've got the album, but Its not on there along with a few others. Its the one that plays when they are on the bus to the championship game... If you've ever seen the movie..

[crunchycooter]

@ExplosionsintheSky27 I tried that too, but this is where it played on the scene practice day one, and where they were on the bus headin to west texas. am i right?

[Dejimon458]

@pilotguy87 Explosion in the Sky has an album called Friday Night Lights. All the songs have been used as soundtracks on the show. The opening theme song is one of their songs.

[SpeedKills4914]

@pilotguy87 That would be First Breath After Coma by these guys.

[pilotguy87]

@SpeedKills4914 Nah I know that one well. It's not the one I'm thinking of. It's while they're on the bus on the way to the championship. It's a standard 4/4 count with the the bass drum and crash cymbal hit on counts 1 and 3 while there are three 8th notes in between. It may have just been a little segment they made for that scene of the movie. It played for less than 10 seconds probably..

[pilotguy87]

@SpeedKills4914 Plain and simple ... the drum beats are note for note as this song..

[fergie123able]

@pilotguy87 if youre still looking, google whatever season it is (with the shows name) and "soundtrack", then click on squidoo. It lists all the songs in every single episode :) No spammer, btw lol

[pilotguy87]

@fergie123able It was actually in the movie that I heard it. Didn't care much for the TV series.

[tikigod1974]

This song is my 4th favorite of theirs.

[FRAANT07]

@tikigod1974 8th

[squadfortyy]

too good

[153orange]

their songs are so perfect.. not boring, not overwhelming either.

they helped me study.. :D

[ExplosionsintheSky27]

@153orange same

[spotless50]

@153orange i agree with you 100% :)

[dillygurl]

@153orange they don't help me study... i usually find my mind wandering off to other things while i listen to eits. but i don't mind :)

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

Ah! My favorite piece by these awesome guys. The way this ends, the drums and everything. It kills me. So effin' great I could cry. How could anybody ever consider suicide in a world where music like this exists?

[xColdJulyx]

brb crying over how beautiful this is.

[bazooka92pop]

i didn't realize that the title was a reference to macbeth until i read it (fleance says "the moon is down" just before banquo's murder) ... and upon googling it, i found that it could also allude to a novel of the same title by john steinbeck, which, i'm guessing, alludes to macbeth in turn.

whichever one it is, this is a lovely, sad, wintry song.

[bullettotheboard]

@bazooka92pop the moon is down was translated in many different countries. it wasnt america first, becuase john steinbeck made the germans win, and also gave the nazi's human traits and in a time of war, they did not want it published in america. its an interesting read, about the germans taking over a town and making them work for them, and how they both (germans and towns-people) cope with that.

[fdnlt]

so emotional!

[JaneWatGrint]

this, is what everybody calls music. 'cause it speaks for itself, and can tell you a message even without words. this is definetely the best band I've ever heard

[fdnlt]

how is it that it just awakens every emotion in me?

[Tormentor]

It is somewhat amazing that a lot of graphic and literary artists cannot really describe beauty to its fullest and yet those guys know how to express it by simply hitting some drums and pulling some strings. It is almost sad that this is more emotional and deep than a lot of songs today that actually have lyrics!

[asura0530]

@Tormentor I'm totally agree with you !!!

[topcat2726]

oh you tease you

[rafrafc]

where is this picture from?

[ExplosionsintheSky27]

@rafrafc

tht would be the album cover sir

[birdhaldol]

@ExplosionsintheSky27 excuse me...I drew the picture...My name is Robert E Lee. Explosions have 1850-70 whores at their disposal. I saved Lee Harvey Oswald and Lee Lee Sobieski's lives. Now i do whatever i fuckin feel like.

[wizardroolz]

@birdhaldol whos Lee Harvey Oswald....cn u stop bein so irritating..

[JacobMLindauer]

@ExplosionsintheSky27 That is so funny. 

[JacobMLindauer]

@ExplosionsintheSky27 so funny

[failedequation]

@rafrafc its an original done for the album cover inspired by the story of the Angels of Mon. A story that angels appeared to help fight off the Germans in WWI at the battle of Mons.

[Chubzdoomer]

@rafrafc Derp!

[Abysssystem]

Nihče od vas ne bo nikoli, ničesar, resnično razumel. . . ..

[Pl0h3k]

@Abysssystem česa? (dobesedno)

[Abysssystem]

@Pl0h3k Resnice ...

[petervischiofilm]

i almost cry everytime listening to this song.

[iguanasuperbike]

i had to login to make this comment and start the video over. i didn't care.

[vengeancexxii]

best music to train to at boxing lol.. 24 7 hbo boxing loves this band

[BloggerMusicMan]

Their music is as beautiful the hundreth time I've listened to it as it is the first. I don't think I've ever heard a band that puts more heart into their music than Explosions in the Sky.

[Gamagachee]

E-bow FTW.

[nodcva]

friday night lights put this group on the map i love dis ish man!!!! mi ear drums said thanks

[Tormentor]

Awesome song.

[tank555666]

I don't know why but I've been feeling so depressed today and just listening to this song calms me down SO MUCH. I REALLY like this.

[animlk3]

@tank555666 emo...

[tank555666]

@animlk3 Well, I don't like the Emotional Hardcore much, nor do I get very emotional, but I was at that time that I put that comment. Your comment in null and void, sir.

[animlk3]

@animlk3 i apologize.

[animlk3]

@animlk3 i apologize.

[Animechick3535]

I love it. it calms me

[RFed21]

This may sound dumb, But i listened to this song and wrote a poem with it. with the same song title i wrote 4 poems based off some songs off Explosions in the Sky, they're pretty good is what i've been told. The point is I love their music!

[TheBlueEyedBandit1]

@RFed21 lol i get that i wish there were lyrics to these songs sometimes. and i make some up myself

[tank555666]

@RFed21 That's actually pretty creative. :D

[chris88kolate]

@RFed21

P0ST THEM!!!

[animlk3]

@RFed21 you're right that does sound dumb.

[jahcksawn]

that little riff at 5:45.. ah so beautiful

[javiree]

literalmente me devuelve al pasado

[utune12345]

Ahhhhh this music perfect for whatever mood your in! Whether its angry, happy, sad, depressed, or in love <3 :P

[Daelion164]

@utune12345 so true, its crazy that music can bring out such a rare speial emotion. i think its mind blowing.i still cant believe it. they get me every time. <3

[utune12345]

@Daelion164 Yes! especially a band with no lyrics in their music. They dont say a word, yet you know exactly what they are trying to say.

[EdGandica]

@utune12345 truly.. and it certainly doesn't matter how long you listen to it, whether it's just a second or a minute.. but for me, by the end of the song I realize it's gonna make my work, my time, my whole day better... their music is just amazing, so much brilliance in it… thank you so much for this!

[Buditokid]

yeahhh this guy are the best band...GOD BLESS THES FUCKING BAND YEAHHHHHHH btw...someone know when this guy release a new album im waiting new stuff from them

[UnknownSpecies7]

This melody calms my soul.

[D1nges]

[ultimateLycan]
