[klavistata]

no doubt i love this as a pure instrumental piece, but someone needs to rap to this. would be the dopest sampling of an instrumental ever

[cliffpigable]

Everyone wanted to know that, legend.

[legendkoen]

I feel like i wanna skydive naked! 

[RoZyk007]

@legendkoen I doubt it... its really  cold out there :p

[TheDslide]

@legendkoen lmfao sanchez get high ;)

[PhotoshopFunStudio]

I like the part 3:25 to 3:48 it's so amazing when the sound changing (3:28)

[beetleva]

perfect, master piece. thank you from me and my ears. x

[Richerdsun]

It's someone singing.....

[alltimenefeli]

this song is amazing ♥ does anyone know what kind of instrument starts playing at 2:00 ??

[PhotoshopFunStudio]

@alltimenefeli that's not an instrument -.- That's a voice modified by synth.

[pabloe168]

@alltimenefeli Sounds like a couple of trumpets

[RocholoProductions]

Impresionant, awesome, this is music people ;)

[shakennotstirred01]

Well said!

[RachenMovies]

"people doesn't understand us.

it's not like we are curse.

It's more like them pissin the church

and ending up being soulless dirt.

[shakennotstirred01]

Everything about this track is perfect to me. Its so beautiful yet haunting at the same time.

[Doomaftermath]

just 147 000 viewers,with all insomiacs in contemporary world? comm'n .... geekery stressless. nerdy pause relax,... and all procrastinators who spend their life in eargasm...

[DarkifiedX]

"I'm wondering why I'm bleeding dry,

So I freak out and screw,

Just to see black and blue."

[onelastorphan]

This song is sexy as fuck.

[TiNYKITTIES]

love love love

[ImD010]

dirty sanchez brought me here amazing music i had to see dirty sanchez jump naked out a plane for this song but its worth it:)

[Joshualbatross]

I love when the bass changes to fit the key signature at 3:49.

[ronian12]

WOAH!!!

I haven't been blown away like this in a while. My ears are rejoicing.

[misfitugly]

This song is epic just pure awesome everything from start to the end the instrumentals to outer body voice thing

[atdssl]

and there are people that prefer stupid ass mainstream bullshit like justin bieber, lady gaga and all that shit!!!! the world's ending my brothers lets make the best of it!!!

[dope0rgan]

"i live life around 2 am nights.

i live two lives,

The hood.

Just to see a little blood."

[STR8G0ODZ]

Friend showed me this. I'm very fond of this type of music. 

[TheSSPeaceLove]

Aaron Copland - Fanfare of the Common Man

[LonelyGluon]

@TheSSPeaceLove Yeah, I was afraid that no one else had noticed. I think it's awesome how he worked that in the way he did.

[0XxdnLxX0]

Dirty Sanchez :D Jumping outta thé airplane =]

[Onemanfunnyfarm]

Perhaps its this:

"Every night I dream of you dying, then I freak out and scream, just to see the moonlight."

Should probably leave it to open interpretation though.

[footballwanted]

Get stoned and listen to music like this, become 1 with music its a journy through a never ending story

[salvador4th]

this just sounds so heroic

every time i hear it makes me think

of a hero beating the villain but then

losing at the end

[sleeksleeksleek1]

Love that vocal sample

[atdssl]

smoooooth

[OjaiOrion]

love this song...

[DeeEssBuffalo]

who has rapped over this beat?

[liqwidskye]

@DeeEssBuffalo I don't believe this is the original. The one I have on CD is different. Look for the video with the picture of the playing card.

[TheMangorulz]

im so fucking sleepy right now

[philshil]

I need a broom to sweep up my blown mind

[tsmillertx]

Someone needs to put some choreography to this and make a video.

[liqwidskye]

@tsmillertx There is a Video. Look for the picture of the playing card

[kyhart16]

2:00 :))



[zephed11]

High School Art Class- Pretty Lights

[musiqniq88]

I can't get over how perfect the title of this track is because at 2:01 this is how I feel..."hold on to the night. watching the moon rise. giving up sleep. i don't sleep, just to see a new day."

[ROZEROxy]

Osjećam pismu prekrasno. Kao da mi kanalizira misli... čak i hook rezonira sa mojim stanjem duha. Ima nešto tajno, manipulativno što ne želim nikome reći, a opet izgovorim kada pritisnem play na ovom videu.

[craigmack909]

im so crunk in this forest ..so healthy inside natures gym.. this music from your soul within..walk with me in silence for we shall hear lifes voice..so numb from your material blinding noise ..money has changed are ancestors tradition.. this isnt a job..just on a music mission expressing are cuurent conditions..fuck the system we must have yesterdays intuition...or fail as bacteria towards are planets decomposition.

[joejwt]

this is epic. not in the popular sense of the word, but in the original sense: having the characteristics of an epic poem. if homer was a musician, this would be the shit that he created.

[seregill13]

@joejwt

it's epic in the popular sense too

[TheChillMusicLounge]

Epic

[JoeeBebop]

What do you think he/she says?

[kingquazy]

I discovered Blockhead tonight. I have listened to multiple songs in a span of almost 4 hours straight now. I am in love with this music. I plan to record a song to this. Others as well. I personally think this is better than any Dr. Dre or Timbaland's ANYTHING....

[thedreampolice1991]

reminds me of afro samurai

[vanillapuddingluvr]

5 people arent in the olympics while sleeping

[crackalaxSTEAM]

@CA00MUSIC this is the farthest thing form dubstep moron

[SkynetDoctor]

I will give a punch to the face to every person that puts another goddamn link in the middle of the video.

I want to pause the damned video, not go to some playlist.

[TXRedTeam]

@SkynetDoctor You can click the black margins of the video, or the play button itself.

[SkynetDoctor]

@TXRedTeam

I'm sorry I was being such an asshole, I was in a random shitty mood that hit me like a wall of bricks.

I'm better now, gonna remind myself to stay away from the internet when I'm in such a mood.

[tbdeawh]

Hey all speculation aside

Does anyone know anything about this song? The lyrics, what was sampled, song meaning or facts, anything? I can't find any good source for info online

[kingquazy]

@tbdeawh I'd be willing to bet that the meaning is whatever the listener would like it to be. Instead of letting and MC paint a picture over it, he chose to accentuate his beats, causing the mind to create it's own vivid imagery. I mean... that's the way I interpret it. Could be the 4 grams of Cubensis mixed with honey talking..... lol

[BigFootsMegaDick]

@kingquazy I agree. I show these kinds of song to my friends and they look at me like Im an idiot and say shit like " there arent any words"...... Just let your mind roam. What ever happened to imagination. I love this kind of music. No words makes the song more your own I guess I could say. If ya catch my wave

[hemphillmorris]

I code to this kind of music. It just gets the juices flowing.

[poopypantsmonster]

@BigFootsMegaDick It's because of how used we are to being told something. 

[Delicorish]

@BigFootsMegaDick baby BABY BABY! tell them to go listen to justin bieber

[juuliaaa]

@BigFootsMegaDick This song doesn't need any lyrics unlike many of those crappy pop songs which all have the same melody so the words are the only things u remember after listening to them...... This song has a melody that I just can't get out of my head lol

[churchy99]

@BigFootsMegaDick I share your sentiment and feel your pain...

[SeRbUs]

@BigFootsMegaDick lol ur friends ARE JUST BRAINWASHED by the mainstream the society nd the media this gives you an opportunity for you to pt your own words and mind into the music... gives th opportunity to pay attention and relax the focus i love beats and all other types of music with no lyrics more then with lyrics, chill out, house, deep house....your friends dont spend time pleasuring their ears they just turn on the radio or listen what they are given lol

[AdamAnt300]

@BigFootsMegaDick words are crap, as Huxley used to say,

after silence, music is the closest to describe the reality

[tbdeawh]

[coflip]

5 people need to get knocked the fuck out

[MetalUpYoArse]

im baked. this is amazing.

[noobdeswoop]

are some people really thinking this shit is dubstep,this is just other music that is also just awesome and maybe the onley in his kind its awesome

[tamastoth82]

Great track, put it in my mix, check it out, you might like. search : ribbonmouthrabbit mixcloud. enjoy!

[camcoolman2]

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE DROP !?!?!?!!? o.O

[yackemflamber]

@camcoolman2 Did you honestly think this was dubstep? Wow.

[hiimotto]

4 People aren't heroes.

[kissjuni]

420 likes is enough :)

[ThinksWithPortals]

@kissjuni HAHA POT JOKE LOOK I'M SO FUNNY

[numbah82]

Song makes me sleepy .........in a good way, it relaxes me

[SaBLeSoLDi3R]

2:32 is a lullaby.

Mind = blown.

[belikejames]

yeah i bet!!!

[belikejames]

beat i mean

[belikejames]

this bet is so good because it tells a story

[Luis400319]

lyrics scare me. haha



[handfulof2ce]

sampled from aaron copland - fanfare for the common man

[charliethebrownish]

for some reason part of this song reminds me of House.

[subgraf]

I think I temporarily left Earth while listening to this.

[Sihria]

"Every night I dream of you dying, then I freak out and scream, just to see them through"

[TheMantis14]

@Sihria "Every night I dream of you dying, then I freak out and scream, just to see out the new day" ..... maybe? what do you think?

[coflip]

@shadow77890 i think you nailed it there, son. thanks for the words :D

[tinodenmark]

@Spellfiremaster I did a little research on your question and I found this (I don't know if it's correct though)

"I live life around 2 am nights.

I live two lives,

The hood.

Just to see a little blood."

Hope it clears up your mind :) I absolutely love the song myself :)

[etd3331]

@tinodenmark I don't think that's what's being said. I tried looking around to find anything, but couldn't find anything.

I can't really make out the first words being said but at 2:06 in the video, the words sound like "then I freak out and scream"

[Zhaamaakoo4life]

WAU INCREIBLE MUY BUENOSSSSS !!!

[Nihils31]

well, i think it will be a great summer. let the world go down for a better try.

[Rydan001]

now thats what i call an addictive song!

[OfficiallyGuffey]

I'm pretty sure at 2:33 she's saying 'canada canada canada canadaha'..

[stonedMTNwalker]

this song brings great vibes

[rayboludo]

Did Pretty Lights sample this, vice versa, or is it something totally different that they both used? It's the piano part at :54.

[jaytheshire]

@rayboludo yes in High School Art class

[DeadCandyLizard]

What is the person saying in the background? I love this song but it always frustrates me that I don't understand what he/she is saying.

[MisterKarmacharger]

sounds like a tribute to military heroes

[skibum4022]

Anyone know where Blockhead got the vocal sample for this?

[PorkchopCupcake]

Arguments arise over whether this is technically Hip Hop, since Hip Hop has always had a lyricist; obviously there isn't here and really shouldn't be a lyricist because the instrumental is dynamic enough on its own. But can you imagine how many rappers or lyricists Blockhead made cry themselves to sleep at night because they'll never have an instrumental this amazing to spew their poo poo lyrics on. Ha.

[ILLER121]

@PorkchopCupcake except for Aesop Rock who Blockhead did the Daylight instrumental for. and thats a pretty amazing piece of art!

[Meliorqt]

<3



[samuraj147]

what is a genre of this music?

[kungfushihan]

@samuraj147 I guess Triphop / IDM

[cfro33]

that vocal sample is haunting. been stuck in my head since i saw him perform live last weekend.

[Yureijeazz]

this is a beautiful song :D

i'm happy each time i heard it

[JayStray0586]

3:22 - 4:11 is like the heart of the song to me LOVE that part

[JoyBit]

@JayStray0586 1:50 + is like the heart of the song ;-)

[seananiosoki]

Den sorte skole - lektion #1, track 2. Search on youtube. You will love it. Jurrasic 5 over the sample. Goes perfectly together

[tharaki0kurt]

Why so low views?

[celtics3456789]

@tharaki0kurt Because people are retarded

[Inikalord]

A Masterpiece arrangement of samples :)

[Cherrie951]

And thank you Pandora!

[Cherrie951]

I listen to this song over and over- when I'm reading or getting ready or anything. It's so peaceful and compelling at the same time :)

[Garrrske]

i am going to do an edit to this song that will make your head spin.

[barnumeffect5]

you usually don't ask to compete. one day you just realize party's over. I won. but no one else is up and i can't sleep

[PentApleX666]

@barnumeffect5 wise words, my friend. i know what thats like indeed. its a powerful thing

[haklbarry2]

i only can say : !

[megustalaverde]

this is in a new pretty lights song

[tunglour]

Holy shit this is the best, most musical hip hop (?) song I've ever heard.

[Niggolaus13]

@tunglour this kind of music is called trip hop or downtempo :)

[FireAndFlames]

The title brings to mind strange contests: The Infomercial Marathon, where contestants must weather as many hours of paid programming as they can before going mad. The One-Thousand Sheep Sprint, where competitors count imaginary sheep jumping fences as fast as possible. The Triathlon, where contestants must perform all the feats of the original Olympic Triathlon, but only after staying awake for 72 hours.

[ShaZamm99]

I love that high pitched voice. I wish I knew what it was saying. It goes PERFECTLY with the song. It has such a great flow. The piano, drums, bass, and vocals mix in an amaazinggg way.

[endoftheworldboy]

@ShaZamm99 i might be wrong but i think some of the vocals were played in reverse

[inalej002]

to be honest i don't think anyone should do anything over this....this is one of those stand alone songs that doesn't need vocals.

[Kayyoooo]

@inalej002 I feel you, but I just wrote to it. lol but seriously i see what u mean...same thing with nevergreen by emancipator...i wrote to it but its dope on its own

[BabEEBro]

@Megaphone77 Found it the same way. had a mixed station which included DJ Shadow

[iantskon]

grime, i love it, who was it that rapped/sang over this? shadow? excellent job

[ILLER121]

i dont know what the fuck just happened to me...........but i likes it!

[Allovertheplace2012]

blockhead is the man! i love his music..i was listening to bonobo and nujabes and thats how i found him..this song is def one of my top fav songs

[doubleyoutf]

unreal, thanks for the post!

[jijmetjebekje]

!!!!!!!!!!

[DTRON987]

Such an amazing song.

[kababman3]

@Megaphone77 what was your station?

[esob902]

Classic.

[114207]

oh. my. god. i love this song.

[gothix114]

this song ownz

[spincut13]

I really wish I could learn the piano parts, that's why I originally looked this song up (after Adult Swim played the piano section on one of their bumps).

[schat3]

Nice>>i love this song!!! fucking great

[CAPTKANUCK]

awesome song simple as that

[CoolDevicesXxm4]

this song sounds really heroic to me.

[RAHdub1]

@CoolDevicesXxm4 You might like hero style by fat Jon, very heroic

[xoliswan]

@CoolDevicesXxm4 couldn't have said any other way. Whew, very smoove:)

[Asichick1899]

chill out with blockhead=)

[tommyboy042]

Blockhead may be the best at layering and transitioning samples...simply incredible the vibes that his songs put out.

[dragancer]

@tommyboy042 then you'll love le loup... if you dont already

[slimjim2k11]

great song!
