Shpongle - Nothing Is Something Worth Doing

[vausham]

Has anybody noticed the red rope coming from a height....it seems the levitating person has a choice to go even higher in consciousnesses... but he chooses to stay on this level of consciousness.... that's shpongle for me......

[pedarikarhu]

@vausham Cool story bro.

[TheShadowsPurr]

this is unbelievably good

[in4ming]

even in 240P it sounds beautifully done.:D

[YouHighLol]

cant comment tripp to hard

[lyndon123abc]

EAT LOTS OF MUSHROOMS, MAKE BABIES.



[neptuneL38]

This is inspired by the psychedelic experience. Mushrooms are necessary for positive human development

[MichelleSuxMyD]

Don't forget the DMT.

[theKonfusion]

the Hang in this track is marvellous :D

[subatomicpurist]

8 people are allergic to psilocybin.

[shamanicworld]

Listen to this music with machicmushrooms is very good for your soul

[bcbowar50]

What's the instrument at the beginning? It sounds a lot different from a hang drum.

[suicidaloxkar]

@bcbowar50 it is a hang drum :)

[joshualeet]

@bcbowar50 Check out Shpongle playing this song (Something is Nothing Worth Doing) live with Manu Delago on the hang drum. It's amazing!

/watch?v=uHx-d3-37to

[ProjectDax37]

@bcbowar50 it is done using harmonics played on a guitar (if you mean the opening riff) when you rest your fingers over a fret but dont push down on the string, and pluck with the other hand; you get that high pitched yet soft sound :) you learn something new every day!

[Guiddz]

Toda Ricardo Reis, esta música. (N)

[Thatmetaldude590]

I must have this goddamn album. Because I love it; because Shpongle deserves the money.

[stunningxan2]

There are so many diffrent minds in the world.

[couer1911]

Everything about this song is beautiful, this is halcyon

[MoronSoldier]

I got lifted! I look at my soul, it's in peace!

[terger67890]

SOO SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[ezejlon]

Best song everrrrrrr

[newnoveltyy]

my all time favorite Shpongle song :)

[420FieryPhoenix]

I'm looking for a song. I have no idea what it's called or what album it's from, but I know it's Shpongle and I remember the piano track was amazing... Kind of sounded like the beginning of House... Any help?

[mothermoonkarma]

You know what's interesting? The people who DON'T do drugs are always telling others what to do with their lives, but you never hear people who DO choose to use drugs telling the non-drug users what to do with theirs!

Get off your pedestals, you fucking pretentious assholes and go live your OWN life!!!

[kapnkrunk14]

Idc who says what.... shpongle + shrooms = something you should consider trying once if you haven't already...but uhh yeah..i didn't say anything ;D.

[ubercarnat]

if u need drugs to apreciate this. u've got a problem. also, if ur mind is as feeble as to not be able to escape this world and move to another without "using", consider it yet another problem.

[LoadedBunnyPros]

@ubercarnat i like you

[tox0tes]

The only drug-related comments I ever see on Spongle videos reference marijuana, acid, and mushrooms. What about heroin, oxycontin, xanax, cocaine, and mdma?

[amberjezebel]

@tox0tes mdma & shpongle puts you in another world! =]

[AcidStrippedMind]

@tox0tes Why would you care about opiates, benzos, and coke, when you have bud, lucy and shrooms? MDMA is awesome, of course, but IMO for something like this it should be mixed with a psychedelic.

[slipknot9733]

@tox0tes none of those expand the mind, oxycotin and heroine are opiates, xanax is an antidepressant and cocaine will just make u skip through the whole song lol, mdma users will consider this too slow, the other drugs allow for rapid thoughts to process and indulge in the music

[tox0tes]

@slipknot9733 all you did was list the category each drug is in. heroin being an opiate doesn't explain why it isn't good for listening to this music. i would say that heroin feels awesome while listening to this music. do you not agree?

[slipknot9733]

@tox0tes beacause the opiates and barbiturates just effect the body whereas the others effect the mind thus improving the experience(via mental stimulation which is what the drugs doing too), when on heroine you just like the music more cuz you like the way your body feels, and personally id try anything once cept heroine, i know 2 ppl whove died from it 17 and 20, far from worth it

[schouings1]

An amazing piece of music!!!!

[jtspitfire]

musical progression and orchestration at its best.

[TheKurtis1234]

im looking for mushrooms for perth was australia? no cops :)

[awakendivinity]

amazing...

[tolkovaobiimam]

No drugs needed.

[OhCaptainMyCaptain55]

@tolkovaobiimam but well apreciated.

[TwiztidlyPeaceful]

@tolkovaobiimam but strongly encouraged ;)

[binzing]

@tolkovaobiimam Not needed, but perfect for and inspiring of this kind of music? fuck yes.

[gerardow92]

@binzing agreed.

[Menegoth]

@tolkovaobiimam They help though ;)

[Rael0505]

@tolkovaobiimam But most certainly encouraged.

[jdmaster13]

lovely track.. reminds me of my few psilocybin experiences i had back in high school, wish i could grasp those feelings of wonder once again.. the peace of mind i once had.. ohh well. the only thing that works for me now is opiates. in a way they are better (in my case) because of the whole blissfully apathetic nature they make me feel which means a LOT where i come from.

[dakinedakineman]

@jdmaster13 you are completely lost get back to yourself

[SarGeOZ]

@pervertedpenguin69 so you didn't quite feel fucked, did you? :) Good for both of us.

[Iseeandalucia]

absolutely absolute music

[erictanguay]

[barthez123456]

[actyme]

Shpongle is not music, its an experience, an experience worth having both sober and high :P

[CircusSanctuary]

+1 this post if you're high right now

[happyorangeanimation]

just done nothing all day... was good but I was doing it on my own. don't like people and I'm rate depressed.

[happyorangeanimation]

@happyorangeanimation (I'm rate depressed and don't like people in general; not all the time I suppose). Like doing nothing though; it's relaxing

[desu2u]

6 people are not doing something worth doing.

[Alnasrlina]

Wow... just truly exceptional and beautiful music!

[fudgedragon99]

[QUACKSTATE]

OMG_SHPONGLE_IS_A_DRUG.

[UttamGala]

relax your mind on cannabis or go trippin on lsd.. theyre definitely not as bad as people think.. and it's all because of the alcoholics

[Brilliantshine]

I fell in love to this song.

[xXAeon89Xx]

i really wanna try lsd, but i've never got true facts... i guess it's all propaganda to make u fear lsd when they say a bad trip is most likely to occur and u might never be normal again ? just like they say cannabis is bad 4 u, hahahahaha ! xD i know my shit about canny, but nothing about lsd...

[123bennybenson]

@xXAeon89Xx Please please try it! with a close friend on a nice sunny say in a forrest or fields, it changed my life 110% for the better, im alot happier with my life and in my life, i have developed a learning lust even more so for nature. seriously do it!!!

[xXAeon89Xx]

@123bennybenson it did ? that sounds great ! :) i suppose u feel one with nature when ur in a forrest or on a plain field with open suroundings... ? i thought about backpacking to a place called "hardangervidda", it's a part of norways national park, quiet and calm place ;) pshycedelics seem so fucking awesome, i wanna experience something mindblowing ! :)

[Jacob15728]

@xXAeon89Xx

LSD has very low toxicity and can not kill you, is non-addictive, and usually will not cause psychological problems. Whether or not you have a bad trip depends on your setting and state of mind. If you have pre-existing schizophrenia, using LSD can worsen it. It can also cause flashbacks which some see as undesired but this is pretty rare. If you have a bad trip it can cause psychological trauma but this is very rare too. Overall it is one of the least dangerous drugs you can do

[SSJkiller]

@Jacob15728

Amen.

If only everyone could understand the truth as you do...

[MolotovMic]

@xXAeon89Xx Define: Normal.

[xXAeon89Xx]

@MolotovMic the state u were in and was known to have before u took it ;) if u get flashbacks that really annoys u and stuff like that ! maybe no form for psychosis, but altered state of mind, that u think differently and do things differently, that ur not the same... in a way... i'm stoned right now, so i'm just asking what i think of ! :)

[feloniousbutterfly]

@xXAeon89Xx When you try it, you will understand existence to a T... When you come off of it, you won't remember how you understood it so well. Some people think the world you see while tripping on LSD is more real than the one we perceive normally. I think some of that is true, as it's common to actually be able to see and feel energy all around you, you can see someone's aura, you can feel them exuding positive and negative energy.

[SamuelDurkin]

@xXAeon89Xx Lsd is like fire...it is dangerous but if you treat it with care it is very useful. if you do decided to try LSD make sure you are somewhere you feel safe and are familiar with. Only take it with people you trust, and give yourself a full day. Try not to mix it with any other drugs as it can give a bad experience. If you think you have any kind of mental illness, or someone in your family does, then you probably shouldn't take any mind expanding drugs at all.

[xXAeon89Xx]

@SamuelDurkin I tried some 2c-e, can u compare those 2, or is lsd a much stronger psychedelic ? Cus I felt really good on that 2c-e, it was fantastic, the most interesting night of my life ! :D I don't have any mental illnesses, might be a little depressed every now and then, but that's what I believe most people go through... I can't think of anything else... no medicine at all, so I don't believe anything can play a part in an lsd trip, idk, guess I'll have 2 find out the hard way, hehe ! ;)

[aloni212]

great song...one of their best

[AProjection]

ONE M0:00REEE TIMEEE!!

@S1w2e3d Lol @ 1 dislike

[pachilaranjo]

some energy is flowing through my body and mind

[S1W2E3D]

this hang drum turns me on, how dare someone disgrace this song with 1 dislike.

[AwesomeIntensity]

ONE person tripped too hard and lost his mind to this track.

[8bit2tune]

@AwesomeIntensity :D exactly

[jp91692]

@AwesomeIntensity probably more than one

[myssytys]

@AwesomeIntensity

Well the spiritual freedom vibe can be a bit intensive for humans not prepared for it so it's quite an awesome track really ;)

[petahhhhhhh]

V hear*

[yogeesunshine]

You can here the hang drum

[EndeavourAccuracy]

This song features in Mozilla's "Flight of the Navigator".

It's where I first heard it and it introduced me to Shpongle.

[ReddyM3]

that's fantastic|

[AVENGEDSE7ENFOLD]

0 dislikes. its a christmas miracle.

[MrJas1991]

Beautiful song

[astoria791]

great music thanks for posting this. does anyone know anything about the pic on this pic, the photo of the yogi?

[EndeavourAccuracy]

@astoria791:

I do have some information for you. The photo was used on "Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland" and comes from Stormstudios, a graphic and print design studio from the UK. Their website can be found by looking for "stormsight". Storm Thorgerson is one of their members and they've also made images for Muse, Pink Floyd, Mars Volta, Umphries McGee, Thornley, and others.

[damotourettes]

@EndeavourAccuracy

Haha. Start with Pink Floyd, and other such incredible luminaries. Shpongle is just another in the line to be graced by Thorgerson's incredible art - perhaps a reflection of their own. :)

[odd1eddie]

If you read the discription of the song in the cd case it tells you that the song is ment to be a prayer against black magic.

[brunnslock]

this song is so vivid trippin' and soothing i almost for got to eat my shrooms :O

[Ktechno]

[do7mkm]

Einfach nur schön Nice

[CoolPotatoBeans]

absolute ear candy

[xfubar]

@CoolPotatoBeans no mainstream music can compare

[Danman429]

@xfubar true that

[csgron]

which album is this on ? :) thanks.

great song btw!

[Goajunkie]

@csgron This is from

ineffable mysteries from shpongleland

[plasmaforce11]

1:30 Hangdrum sounds

Amazing how that instrument implemented itself into so many different genres of music, including psychedelic :P



[anormalzombie]

No drugs needed. Shpongle is a drug.

[Rael0505]

@anormalzombie Yeah, but this song on acid is MUCH different from this song off acid.

[schemerlamp]

@anormalzombie agreed!

[HeavyTrippin]

@anormalzombie Yes, but drugs intensify the sphongleness

[rosajanerocks]

@anormalzombie indeed it is

[pervertedpenguin69]

@anormalzombie shpongle's music is drug inspired. fail lol

[SarGeOZ]

@pervertedpenguin69 you fail to understand the message. Shpongle is quite enough to trip away, no additional stimulation is required while listening to it. The fail is yours, noble sir :-D

[pervertedpenguin69]

@SarGeOZ a clydesdale horse just fucked my butt

[Sheersheena]

Great!

[VRAOfficial]

this is the most beautiful music in the world! u can really feel it!

[KimagamiMori]

Cant wait till May 11th! May not be a full Shpongle set...But get to see Simon spin for the first time! GAH! *runs in circles*

[ArtificialLifef0rm]

I love Shpongle for their unique sound and unpredictable songs, and this album is definetly one of their better ones. I have one question though and I hope that someone with english as their primary language can answer it: What does the title really mean? Is it what I suspect, that the meaning is that"there isn't anything that is worth doing - that everything is pointless in the end?

[tonykoop]

@ArtificialLifef0rm To me, the title "Nothing is something worth doing" means that its important to slow life down a bit and relax. We often feel the need to keep ourselves busy when sometimes we should just do nothing whether that be relax, meditate, or contemplate.

[daokinglong]

@tonykoop It does mean that, but it also means what Artificial said, it means many things at once. It is quite possible that they are demonstrating that language is useless at representing reality, there is no 'fixed' meaning, each time you read that sentence it can mean something else, depending on how 'you' read it. You yourself 'being' BECOMING rather than being. That is to say, we are not static 'beings' either. There 'is' Flux. (which itself is a non-concept) That make sense?

[Eldwinn]

@ArtificialLifef0rm no, it means "nothing is something worth doing"

nothing IS something worth doing.

[myspam512]

@ArtificialLifef0rm

That's how I took it before I first listened to it, but it's not how I took it after the song ended.

[JosifovGjorgi]

epten like this song, one of the little set of song made this days that make you feel free

[feeder12]

The song is amazing... UNTIL THE GODDAMN HOWLING. Why add that? Everything is solid, concrete, interesting, going places, then 2 minutes of chipmunk howling, what the FUCK?

If it were unaltered arabian singing it would be fine...

I have let many listen to this song and they all love it until they hear that shit then they make me turn it off.

:(

[Verhoget211]

@feeder12 I agree, totaly unneccessary...

[Chocobopsu]

@feeder12 The problem with that is, FIND ANOTHER BAND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS MUSIC! All the sounds make so much sense to me and I'm not even on drugs, and when I am, it makes even more sense =D

[vef444]

@feeder12 wtf?

[Sandi101921]

this song is incredible too i love the...guitar?

[hoodbran]

Manu Delango is playing the hang drum

[ajidamoo]

It is indeed a hang drum, but Raj isn't playing it. I bought the DVD along with the album~ I very HIGHLY recommend it... an amazing performance! and some inspiring interviews are on there as well : )

[Lilletull]

Absolute the best song EVER!!!!

[watsisname]

I love everything with this song; great melody, great instruments, great vocals, even the title is awesome. :D

Easily one of my favorite songs by Shpongle thus far.

[TheDUDE184]

Awesome song, very relaxing

[DECRIMINALIZE]

is raja playing a hang drum on 5:00?

[enagod]

yeah. it sounds like hang drum

[hawwwiw]

This album is definately their best work overall.
