I'm pretty sure this has been said already - but I think the Books have actually managed to amek music out of what thinking sounds like. Hats off to The Books. Hats, and pants.

@Blaclite19 where some of the primary aspects of the music are left up to chance. its really hard to explain, its kinda where specific elements are left indeterminate until the performance of the piece where the performer improvises in a way. there are no doubt way better explainations so yeh find more definitions. hope this helps and is understandable lol

This vid is sick.... n the song is mind blowing as well ^_^

[brokenportal]

Im looking for fast forwarding montage like footage of people waking up, daily grind, fall asleep, repeating. You seem to be on about footage and have ideas on it. Do you know where I might find some? Im making a video exemplifying the shortness of life, the necessity of doing something about it, why, and what can be done.

@brokenportal

Have you seen the movie 'Requiem for a dream'?

[allUneedISLove420]

@marmaladekamikaze that movie is fucked lol

[Mannex17]

is that some Baraka footage I see there

[Robble77]

The Books really ARE giants

[thesillyfatkid]

@Robble77 I'm so glad that you caught that... this comment made the entire Video worth it... hahahaha

[Deadpocketss]

@Robble77 Haha, I caught that. Nice.

[widevr]

Too bad this isnt the official video, as the production certainly is top-notch!

I was thinking it's a shame there is no 1080p version of this, but something tells me that would make it lose its effect.

[Ijazzyourface]

What a great video, man! I ask every single person I meet if they've ever heard of the Books. Has to be my favorite music. You're the shit!

[Ninjabean82]

3:12 reminds me of benny and joon :)

[luisDARTHvid]

This is incredibly beautiful because I'm drunk but also because it's kind of beautiful. Thank you for making it, whoever the hell you are.

[salvadoraugustus]

life makes you smarter , books makes you educated , God makes you alive

[fickleparoxysm]

You know, I lost all respect for someone when they told me THIS is not music. What does she know about music?

[emptyslicepeace]

THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fryzor]

Wow! Just. Wow!

[naomiology]

i'm impressed, this is so good! i would love to know where all the video samples came from.

[Revellart31]

I read that they bought old tapes/cds from charity shops.

[thesillyfatkid]

The Books do for their videos, i found mine off of some internet databases for free domain video clips. This isnt a books video... they have some seriously beautiful videos!

[Acattonne]

You did a great job!

[DieAlena]

[RicketyTickety]

[thesillyfatkid]

Why thank you! i like it, and i could only hope that somebody else found the same meaning behind it as i did....

[vourok]

words cannot describe the true beauty of music.

[StickyRix]
