@hier0phant funny how you apparently associated this short, beautiful song with the concent of eternal life (which to me, takes away the beauty and preciousness of life itself).
Goes to show how everybody is inspired in a different way by BoC,s music, but inspired nonetheless.
Funny thing that until i red your comments i never realized that their tracks are short. The thing is that if you listen to the whole album (like Geogadi) all bits forms a whole and create sort of a story line that flows smoothly. I was never disturbed if a track was too short! Now that i am thinking about, i take that such short tracks are like some subconscious feelings that u are familiar with but you can't really explain. They are like "freezing" the moment.
I heard an inverview with BoC when they released Seven Forty Seven, and I think marcus said that when they do come up with songs and melodies, the songs often become short because they both don't want the songs to become too repetetive and that they also simply lose their train of "imagination" and don't know how to continue. But sure, BoC songs do have a deeper meaning, often.
This songs about loss, bro. Looking back on something or someone that's gone makes you think about how little time we have on this planet. Life is fleeting. So is this song.
The selection on youtube is generally pretty limited. Nice thing about BoC is it's so ambient that you can just put one song on repeat and practically forget that it's the same song again and again. Check out Dayvan Cowboy and Chromakey Dreamcoat.

Why is it so short!? I could happily listen to this for a LOT longer that a couple of minutes.

That's how BoC functions. Stuff's either really long or really short.

It would help if there were other songs from them that were long and almost like this. Maybe you can help name a few?

maybe aphex twin - stone in focus, though it doesn't have that happy old distorted feeling to it, it's a nice song...
