Many of us who love this song do so for a very deep reason. Mr. Eno has created a lot of great music in his time, but I think that this song may be his great legacy for it has touched so many lives in so many ways. Whether it allows us to greater understand peace, or comprehend our loss, it is a profound composition. Thanks for the great video, too. Of all the various "ascent" videos out there, this, I feel, most captures the essence of this song.
Every time I watch this masterpiece video flying thru clouds put to this song, it reminds me of the only love of my life.... the only woman I will ever love. I miss you k.d.s.
Music to make you realise how amid the pulsating nebulae of light, swirling galactic spirals and the trillions of stars that condense and explode over aeons of time, there is nothing more profound than a being like you or I. A being that came into existence by a billion to one chance when a single sperm cell and egg fused. A being, alone amongst animals, that can sense the passage of time, can contemplate the Universe and our place within it. What an incredible thing it is to be alive
You know I look down at these comments people have written on all the assent videos, and it makes me smile, how four and a half minutes of pure energy brings out the best in everyone who listens beautiful thoughts and emotions transmitted through sound, music the universal language of the world loved and understood by all.
Thankyou for this...must admit I've had a few " sad moments" in my life of late+this album in particular has got me through ,esp this track..go as far to say its great to get leaky eyes to..lol..lovely imagery..lovely ..x
I find it quite amazin that in my 62nd year, I've just discovered Brian Eno. This track has an ethereal quality to it, that defies description. Simply beautiful. It brings tears when I listen and realise that, to me, it signifies the fact that I'm nearer to the exit door of life, than many.
As a fan of mainly classic rock and 80's synth pop, this would normally not appeal to me, but this is different, there is literally no point where anyone could have made it any better - therefore I believe it is perfect
Everytime time I try to say something about this song it's impossible, it's simply indescribable what it does to me, love it. Beautiful piece of music.
I know what you mean. I start to write a comment and get about half way through and just can't find any words to do it justice. I just discard the comment and realize some things are better to just enjoy rather than dissect or articulate.
Nice chemtrails at the start,beautiful music though.

This is the sort of song you listen to in the night sky
- when the sun is going down at sunset
- when the light of the sun is breaking through the clouds in the evening
This song makes you believe 'Anything is Possible'
