Boards Of Canada - Peacock Tail

[GracetoThee]

Great works of art in juxtaposition!

[igotkiwi]

I love how Boards of Canada songs are so textured and evolving throughout that you can just listen to the same song over and over as if it were a whole album.

[pleaseIjustIgo]

OMG. This is so trippy.

[Riles311]

The melody doesn't change much... but the percussion layers are absolutely perfect. Probably my favorite BoC track.

[KnivGalning]

I feels like heaven when I smoke my spliff and lissend to this song maaaan feels soo good man i dont care about anything just boards of canada and weed...!

[maelpixesaat]

<3

[rstim]

Don't wanna spam, but I truly believe some Boards of Canada listeners will like this ALOT: /watch?v=gVabA-K3Xt4

[161lip]

@rstim Thanks for the "spam". Casilofi is awesome

[zZzFalaecozZz]

@rstim Thank you for sharing man, I like it a lot.

[4Nightfox4]

BoC literally make the only music to ever make me literally feel something deep inside.. whats weirder is that I don't know what it is.. but the hairs on my arms stand up and the fact that I'm feeling something completely unique to any other music is just amazing

[Nuthane]

@4Nightfox4 thats what music is supposed to do

[Casilofi]

/watch?v=Q1e-Vt1IztY inspired by BOC

[InsaneCranium]

@Casilofi Good job dude. I like it. Very BOCish

[jeannekyle]

This song is one of their gifts that keep on giving - it will never get old for me. Thanks for keeping this up for BOC fans...

[LordSuperCow]

This song is serenity.

[kixr1]

this is a good video too

[taffboyslim]

Once you've heard this song a few times, you start to imagine hearing the xylophone-like 'hook' come in at about 1:00, when in reality it doesn't come in for real until around 2:00. Great track from a great album

[mrsaganscosmos]

@taffboyslim same here! that happens a lot in their songs for me. There are so many melodies that are only hinted at and i think that makes their music unique.

[zwerty007]

BoC makes me feel like all the big problems from the day were just little laughable incidents.

[apacci25]

most people arre deff to wonderful music, they also need half naked girls and fancy cars. they dont even understand what this gives to us :)

[MusicLover2210]

@apacci25 so agree dude

[unspokenrespect]

this has a dope hippie vibe to it

[sswmlw]

ambient, spacey, psycadellic, and fucking awesome!



[idiallin]

The first time I heard this song I was like "whoa". I still get that when I listen to this. Anyone else know any songs as good as this one?

[vacanteyes6]

if i were a song, this would be me

[LIGHTRONIX]

Imagine if aliens came down and played this to the whole world...

[Bramrpg]

@LIGHTRONIX Awesome imagination. If the aliens would do that, i would have no doubt whatsoever about their friendliness towards us.

[VideoKiwi2008]

the great thing about BOC is that they are so unique in their style of music. i wouldnt be surprised if this music were to be played on another planet.

[Henikka]

got chills all over my body, this is the first track i discovered from BOC some time ago and it has become a vital factor in my life :)

this song should be played in every country 24/7

[Sot4muumi]

This is becoming my new fav BoC track... so good

[SwaggerLikeUz]

Awesome Track, and Hatz off for this really Nice Video! I Faved it..

[stock4020]

@flumflux lmao

[nickydastinks]

this song is special :)

[TheFrankyLoosveld]

I always listen to this music when I'm on a plane.

[LIGHTRONIX]

@TheFrankyLoosveld Same here, I think it's so crazy how people take flying for granted. Whenever I go on trips most people just fall asleep or watch a movie. Not me, I have my face glued to the window for the whole flight, listening to boc.

[Plixus100]

Oh that bass :]]] boc is so warm and fulfilling, but chill and cool. Just plain purity, so awesome.

[nepta00]

life is an amazing spiritual journey.

[HeavySoaddict]

@nepta00 Indeed.

[phil90125]

I can't quite believe this video has had over 100,000 views. Thanks to everyone for the comments.

[Casilofi]

@phil90125 It deserves even MORE!!!

[Genji102]

good moods make me feel like this song

[schijtluisje]

Just Magic. favourite song from my favourite BoC album!

[Irishmurphy37]

good music to listen to when your high

[kleash]

@Irishmurphy37

it's the other way around, this music gets you high.

[ad223]

♥.;:+*'`'* ¸.•*I love to listen to Boards on the train, there is nothing better than watching hills and fields go by to this*•.¸*'`'*+:;.♥

[adidas2023]

und nur noch die ganze zeit

[adidas2023]

sooooo chillig :)

[MrMushroom123]

best track on the album. the progression drifts me farther and farther and farther away from this superficial world.

[LIGHTRONIX]

the theme song of our family cabin

[Yorkoholic]

Boards of Canada es el grado máximo al que ha podido llegar la música electrónica.

[alfabeastie]

@Yorkoholic Esperemos que no. Que siga habiendo gente tan buena como ellos o incluso mejores. Salud!

[ITherealMarcomanI]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... nice.

[lunarwork]

awesome stuff

[HootyInWonderLand]

I'm glad my day lead me here.

BOC is home for sure

[Seni187]

its my favorite..

[jdoggybizzle]

The entire BoC discography could be the soundtrack for "Cosmos"

[pureecstasy]

i am beginning to think/feel that pure music is not the music that unearths memories or nostalgia or a certain person or time or space.

pure, sexual, unadulterated music should be the kind that contains you in a vacuum, cushions your soul, ceases any kind of cerebral activity and just allows you to float. yes, just float.just float.......like this

[pureecstasy]

my fav so far of theirs.

any songs/bands like that to recommend?

[ddrruummmmeerr]

When ever i listen to this song, it reminds me of Lost.

[DrLaverock]

It's amazing how music can just make you feel completely free from everything.. invincible, problem free. I thank Boards of Canada for being connoisseurs' of this...

[jotetenistico1]

soul

[LIGHTRONIX]

My favorite BOC song. Those delay things from guitar strings and the little mallet part at 2:00 .....oh man, wicked stuff. The nostalgia for me is walking through a field with some close friends, wearing a backpack for some reason, and just enjoying life.

[skimseshmania]

When the world ends and we are all scavengers on a society-less planet Boards of Canada will be our treasured link to the past. They will be our gateway to what life used to be like.

[levidapyro]

the world slowly sacrifices itself to end all suffering

[Minidrummer101]

i love the comments on this video :P

[2tone2000]

I love Peacock tail! im going to make my own video of this soon and if it sucks balls, then so be it!

[bmxisforme]

If BOC was a drug, i'd take it everyday without reading the side effects. I'd say that's a brain worth frying. ;)

[ChaseWatkins]

@bmxisforme it is a drug, and i do take it every day, and let me tell you

my mind is far from fried

[bmxisforme]

@ChaseWatkins Me too! :)

[CXMEN]

@bmxisforme yeaaaahhh man

[quaademan]

I think about warm summer nights when I hear this song. Sitting next to a campfire and gazing up at the stars....perfect :)

[HerrFOAD]

SUBLIME :)

[exxinizn]

this music is just... great. the sad thing is, if my friends ever heard this they'd think I have a weird taste in music. most of them just listen to Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and stuff. They don't know what real music is...

[superfrood]

@exxinizn Dude i feel so sorry for you man, my friend introduced me to BoC and I've never looked back, but we all hate pretty much all mainstream music. I know some people might find that a bit pretentious but really there is just so much awesome music out there, it's like an insult to listen to shit like Justin Bleber and most mainstream (although some is ok). We all share our music tastes and most of the time we corroborate. Try and enlighten your friends, you might be pleasantly surprised....

[exxinizn]

@superfrood, thanks :)

I feel bad only replying with this but on the bus today I'm gonna make them listen to it haha... nice to know there are people like me though.

[iwtfsg]

la creme de la creme :)

[gjs5897]

Its the word bliss-said in music.

[xXEwwErickaxX]

amazing<3

[chicogasoil]

Shit, i remember when mi girlfriend cut me off. I listen this song... This make me feel strange. I love this album!

[nelson3300]

@chicogasoil

word... pretty much where I stand right now buddy :) one love

[chicogasoil]

@nelson3300 Thanks man!

[thramagen]

if this is a fan made video its like the first one that I've liked

[OnThatPowder]

i'm afraid,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,.........­.///////

[VideoKiwi2008]

pureecstasy: this song is on "The Campfire Headphase"

[pureecstasy]

one of my favs of theirs so far.

just discovered them recently. what album is this on??

[sduplantiss]

reminiscent of children playing on the jungle gymnasium during school.

[unkonkrable]

jet pilots on meth coming home to 100 degree weather after some top secret mission

[VideoKiwi2008]

lovely flowing song

[threewintersleft]

It's like everything will be created or destroyed just in front of you, now, in that right moment..it's a place that you can only get in your mind, a warm place, but where you can feel all the emptiness in that cliff over there.

[zinggblip]

hmmmm :)

[TheGDbot]

The voice at 3:minutes just kills me. Lifts my soul up and carries it away.

[drabasafool]

can't stop listening to this track: before peaceful feelings and memories recalls it's like an aural masturbation. Perfect images too

[richardhenryismighty]

1.19 is when the drumbeat and synth kick in. This is an amazing vid for an amazing song. It reminds me that everything is going to be ok everytime I hear it. boc is my top 5 favorite groups.

[PixelEater64]

This is a lot like the footage of a blowing bag in American Beauty. It implies to the viewer there are intricacies within, but it's just a cell phone camera mounted to a shaky arm pointed at what might be a 480i tv.

[Partyywizard]

why is this so awesome.. I want to know hwo to make songs like this!!!

[sergentvilo]

Un son bien reposant, qu'on n'hésite pas à réécouter. Avec un clip toujours aussi bizarre de Boards of Canada.

[senatoradam]

love the video. good work :)

[maztakeef420]

see.. i wish i had the words to describe how this song puts a verse in my mind and i might not be able 2 capture the essence, but ill certainly try if i hear this on the otherside, ill earnestly die nd wake up on heaven's doorstep been listening for hours, still aint bored yet boards of canada, more than amateurs, war-vets puttin a cerebral bullet thru my forehead broke open the box i used 2 store stress ever since i was born, yes.. i strived 4 peace the songs finally over, now its time 2 repeat

[broadcastmyass4u]

yeah yeah man for sure, all except the bullet thru the head part, lol

[maztakeef420]

kind of a metaphor for how cerebral their music is. an instantaneous impact that you can't stop or nullify

[maztakeef420]

thnx for the love people!

nj all day

[maztakeef420]

on this lovely saturday afternoon

sippin a pint glass of the drafted brew

recently I been feelin a little sad n blue

But I came to grips so I could grasp the truth

Takin risks not givin a shit what happens after its through

Lookin back; "thats something I never thought I'd actually do"

No complaints, the mistakes been made

dunno if its fate, but a miracle saved the day

n cleared a path for my spirit to pave the way

guided by a ghostly appearance when the music plays..

[HerrFOAD]

@maztakeef420 amen

[heyitsalanhere]

@maztakeef420 good description kidda...

[maztakeef420]

@maztakeef420 thnx for all the love, people readin it, sippin from the mug they give it a shrug, this aint no article in the tabloids, nowadays we all filled wit a massive void, filled wit static noise, shit.. aint like we had a choice, it's/ predestined, the many steps to the heavens, keep learning our lessons, we yearn for ascension, we burn for attention, too premature for perfection.. with uncalibrated senses we stumble through these trenches, no direction to aim our perception...

[technicallyabsurd]

Superlative.

[thealexg93]

amazing.

[stayelusive]

this song sounds like old pentium and computer commercials to me, how they had that world music feel to them. It kinda makes me want to make a fake commercial now.

[dan888888882001]

:) shut your eyes, lose your thoughts, and concentrate on nothing but being in the moment

[has9]

wow , thats exactly what i did for the last 2 years and now finally lost track of my whole life.....where am i now?

[RadioScarecrow]

you have made my life better

[Jedi8383]

chilll

[djcharliejunk]

all that is life..

[mondmann1985]

The first time i´ve heard `boc` it fell like my soul began to breath and

live can be a never ending dream

greetz from germany

[jenf1girl]

lmao... wow, thanks for sharing

[Pwny912]

Ah, BoC does much for my mind.

[Sculptedincrystal]

patience

[SteelRocker]

if this music was "pop" the world would be a better place

[fraaaazzle]

Agreed!!

[TEKM0SIS]

:' ( I know.

[Alejoftvalentina]

@SteelRocker right

[aberto777]

@SteelRocker AMEN.

[bmxisforme]

@SteelRocker You're good people :)

[xlordjamesx]

@SteelRocker the best thing i heard all day

[ThreePieceSuite05]

@SteelRocker Damn Straight!

[Stev1ed]

@SteelRocker yes it would be!

[ImTheWackhead]

@SteelRocker NO because you would be listening to justin bieber feat. ludacris and everyone watching this video.

[AthlonNapelmanak]

@SteelRocker I am totaly agree

[SkyRifter]

@SteelRocker

Spooky Foreboding Music, They make It's so awesome!*

-Reminds us all of life after death.

what we all will see in the beyond.

[astrocharlie]

@SteelRocker

the world is a better place! i love this song!

[dredgie]

yeah, that's right!

[jlcapaz]

I'll use it for a party, thank you very much , sir.

[zyxena]

OMFG WHY DO I LIVE IN THIS FASADAD COUNTRY

THERES NO SUCH THING AS PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC OR PARTIES THAT PLAY THIS KINDO F STUFFF

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Haychessee]

yeah i wish this kind of music was more around us!

[impcirca1988]

fasadad?

[n11lc]

umm i can't really imagine this at a dance club, lol. but boards of canada is my fav chill music

[sexyfi]

very cool man

[C182Skylane]

You know that feeling when your chest becomes too small for your heart...?

[gjs5897]

im slowly melting into my seat.

[StrubelmaxxxVienna]

lol hehe

[johnnyman37]

Holyshit.

I put on my really good headphones with mega bass on them and put it full blast and sat here in the dark listening to this song on repeat while doing my work.

Beautiful song<3

[threewintersleft]

does it exist any better feeling?

[alfamonk]

you work in the dark? lucky sod.

[johnnyman37]

Naw I wasnt meaning work as in JOB work lol. I was just working on my myspace and shit:P

[imadisaster]

this song relaxes me to the max

[juanman100]

This is the type of BoC songs I like the most, like Left Side Drive or Oscar see through red eye. Some of their songs are so creepy (like gyroscope) ,but these ones are so peaceful and relaxing...

[Atetrakz]

I've tired out their available catalogue. can't wait for the oldtunes boxset and new album

[bertyUK]

The music is pure nostalgia - i discovered them about a year ago and have been hooked since. Parts of this particular track are reminiscent of old news bulitins; there's the comfort of looking back which could be the addiction.

[calirun1]

i am so tired and should be sleeping but can't stop listening to this beautiful music!

[nloisoccer]

the note at 1:25 has a profound effect on my mind. I listened to this tune stoned one night and my life has not been the same since

[kaaap0w]

what is so special @ 1:25 ? Oo

[fuzzymini12]

It was when the dog bark echoed.

[kaaap0w]

i guess im deaf.

[nloisoccer]

I guess it's when the bass note is slightly higher. I honestly think there are about 100 different ways of listening to this song.

[MissStranded]

I agree. This sounds perfect in the sun , it sounds perfect in a dark room etc It's just a fantastic , emotive song. One of their best

[INVALIDusername23]

very nice video to the song

[marcinovski]

lol

[SteelRocker]

lol

[dermotmallon]

i first listened to this track on a branch of a tree overlooking a field at the height of summer. It made me so so so fulfilled and confident that i was going in the right direction. F-ing intense it was; i'll never forget it..

[mrpoly5555]

thats nice, but you missed out the bit where you were up to your eyeballs on liquid LSD ; )

[YorkshirePunk01]

Kool, lmao.

I like this. Were yo
