[tcfrombn]

8 people are blind, deaf and dumb.

[TheYersinia666]

Sorry generally the people write here in english, but this language offers me not so many words to describe feelings. BoC ist ein Phänomen, das meine ganze Umwelt in einem anderen Licht erscheinen lässt. Aus der Wirklichkeit wird ein wunderbarer Traum mit tollen Unterton, aber nur die Anwesenheit dieser wunderbaren und käftigen Klänge ermöglicht mir durch diese Brille zusehen. Norwegen ist unglaublich, ich finde es ist der Platz wo die Natur geboren wurde. A brilliant video!

[PeterVonRock]

Just freaking fantastic...

[radguitar1]

perfect vid for this one :)

[opti95]

you know what? ive heard that baseline so goddamn much i am going to flag this video,

[mushroomsseason]

i love you Boards of Canada

[88Cortex]

Skyrim eat your heart out :) [i know, why bring it up haha]

[curlymolly70]

@88Cortex I used to hate BOC and love Skyrim... but I took then a narrow 2D E....

/me shame

[88Cortex]

@curlymolly70 LOL

[holden8r]

si saneyour

[DerStutenKerl]

Skyrim

[blonde7000]

this is very good

[TheBibardaksu]

boards of canada is probably one of the best music to go with these beautiful aurora, and i feel that everyone's got to see this in real, at least once in their lifetime. i hope i will! :)

[magiquemusique]

le paradis est sur terre avec BOC,la meilleur musique électronique de tout les temps........

[akrobatapobyku]

i'm impressed. And realxed.

[CityLimitsmusic10]

wow

[mizterbrown]

@juanman100

you have no idea how long ive dreamt that

@mocha4paws

have fun

[nirvanabuzz69]

my 2nd favourite BOC song behind Everything you do is a balloon. I remember this song coming on my ipod when i was flying to the Canaries. Something about being above clouds and listening to BOC that fits so well!

[irthatkid]

people need to stop making long poems (that are lies) just to get thumbs up... it's fine if you do what juanman 100 does because he said "one of the things i have to do" not lieing and saying *i remember the time I went to norway...* (don't thumbs this up, it ruins the purpose)

[Vertsk8er419]

@irthatkid if how i speak naturally sounds like poetry to you than i'll take that as a compliment, whether or not it annoys you though, is your deal.

[Vertsk8er419]

At first I wanted to think of this as mostly an underwater track, as the Macquarie Ridge is mostly underwater, but the more I listen to it (and after watching this) the more it sounds like looking at the stars at 3:13 am on a cool breezy night in some vast expanse. The reversed drums alter your perception of time and only make the moment more potent and whole, like after a good trip... and the stars are particularly bright on this night. Thanks BoC :)

[irthatkid]

I live near a shaman, his quotes always make me think of BOC songs:

"Beautiful days", "some say the sun is worth more than gold", "Just another one of the many mysteries of the universe" and the list goes on and on

[tmx0152]

magical

[khazane2]

mágico 

[Poloxxio]

I feel like my mind is melting upwards and into a pool of joy that radiates outward to every speckle in the UNIVERSE!

[bagg10101]

BOC are gods of sounds and melodies! They really know how to inspire images in your mind. For instance, with this track, I can see myself sat on a train, with my head rested against the window. Through the window I watch the cities and countryside passing me by. Slowly, the real world images fade, and are replaced by images and memories from my life. Thank you so much for your music BOC!!

[BigC25586]

keep coming back to this, unreal

[rexpulsar]

I have been listening to BOC for many years and even now a day does not pass without me playing their music. This particular track is not on my copy of Campfire Headphase so I was delighted when I heard this music for the first time. I play this track very often and always come to FroschYankee to listen and wonder at the truly beautiful eye candy that I see before me. Music and visuals in perfect symmetry.

[bdub24j]

Very fitting music and vid.

[cosmicrider287]

astonishing video.

[OwnLeeYu]

this song reminds me of better times.

[therobot2003]

I watched this vid for like one hour.love the video and music.good combination.

[Osori97]

the power of nature along with the music ... caused me a great inspiration could not have put in more harmonious as a fact here,is great.

[MrPheelingphine]

Celestial beauty and music that can only be described as Godly.

[FlooperMap]

try to make a reverse version of this -

[Dianne0624]

This is so magically beautifull, it makes me cry...

[Nofarewell]

This song and these beautiful sights have everything and I can't even tell how or why. These guys are really feeling what they're doing. Simple yet unbelievable.

[HastePk]

For me this is truly BoC at the best, i enjoy this music without beeing stoned or on something, i hate drugs.. Im also proud to say i am from norway and c the nothern light quite often, i puted this song on and looked at sky for about a year ago and enjoyed live Aurora Borealis.

[FlooperMap]

The greatest way to celecrate New Year.

[DiabloTheGames]

sweet tune

[B166ERG]

I believe the statistic for someone to miss the thumb up and to click on the thumb down accidently is about 6/1154



[AmpEtc]

it looks like the silhouette of the hills are lips and the lights are breathing out (first 40 seconds)

[CheeseDies]

This is the song I would pick on a trip to space.

[rainislife]

6 People got lost in DMT hyperspace

[qwikfikz]

this is GODLIKE

[mandariiina1]

a dream.

[abscrete]

I`ve been there :)

[juanman100]

One of the things I have to do before I die is go to Norway in winter and watch the northern lights while listening to BOC with a good pair of headphones.. Then I'll die happy..

[CaduceusOFFICIAL]

@juanman100 i've done that, and it is strongly recomended that you do that some day! i come from norway, and every winter i do dhe same thing. try listening to julie and candy while watching northern lights, fantastic!

[psycodromo64]

@juanman100

there's learning from you, don juan!

[TheTransitmtl]

@TheFoliageCradle: For me that was the feeling I got when listening to Music Has The Right To Children. Already amazed by their music I got to track 4, Telephasic Workshop and when the beat kicks in at 0:39 it was like I found the music I had been looking for. The only other time I got that feeling was for Mùm's Finally We Are No One

[Blacksinner92]

Smoke weed to this song!!!

[88Cortex]

@Blacksinner92 Controverses aside, yes. It works pretty well :) I mean, people, really.. Ofcourse, this music is beautiful when sober. But if you stand open for it; just try it with a bit of weed and you will know what we mean.. trust me..

[TCane25]

That gives me the creeps!

[mocha4paws]

Just discovered BOC today. How cool is that?!

[EARdraum]

@mocha4paws You'll never stop loving them, I can assure that.

[88Cortex]

@mocha4paws :D! Have a nice ride buddy. There is still a lot to listen to.

[irthatkid]

@mocha4paws 3 months later you still doscovered BOC "today"... thats just how awsome boc is

[souljaboitellm]

@mocha4paws May you live a happy life now

[iwtfsg]

@mocha4paws welcome ;)

[arjuna1986]

does the northern lights really move that fast?

I have all the boc shit but ive never heard this sik tune and vid!

[BigC25586]

@arjuna1986 No, its a whole night compressed into around 5 minutes, cool though

[osunetti]

makes me feel like how if me born again

[rainislife]

6 people seriously have no fucking life. and i've never made a statement like this on youtube.

[coloritrad]

Blissful, thank you.

[nnicholss]

B.O.C. THERE IS NO OTHER.............

[Pwnzor729]

God damn this is cool.

[paranoidboytoy]

thanks

[OwnLeeYu]

my favorite boards of canada song.

reminds me of my good times :(

[pdogpearson]

Needs more 1080p D:

[HeavySoaddict]

Instant love. I almost cried.

[ShitTalkinDandylions]

I would like to hear this while in route to saturn haha

[HerrFOAD]

BOC are the best when coming to sublime music :)

[gwainbarek]

well spend 5 minutes :)

[rustyfynn]

Absolutely love this track. Just when you think BoC have done it all you hear a hidden gem like this!!! Just wish it had been released worldwide.

Beautiful music.

[IamOneBigTool]

This view listening to this song are the last two things I want to experience when I die.

[cullyvan]

i dont understand how anyone who is mentally stable can dislike this.

[familydude51]

4 people are not in touch with them selves

[gqoniefh]

85.6 beats per minute...slightly elevated/exited heartbeat...appealing/natural landscape with natures most amazing light show....nice

[letsgetpostal]

who would dislike this?

[4goodtimez]

does anybody know what the Boards of Canada song is that has all the violins in it? I can't find the name of it anywhere :p

[Ottomatik0]

@4goodtimez Dayvan Cowboy perhaps?

[TEMPLEKING1974]

big sonic chill

[GNAALlama]

WOW, I have never felt compelled to do so, but after watching this video, I have to visit Norway before I die.

[BigBlue0002]

The video blends so well with the song... timeless music.

[Entropix41]

if i lived there i would become nocturnal

[tremer88]

when i listen to BOC thier is no heaven or hell, just life and life

[theanalog808]

BoC must be on God's playlist. It's like he created the Aurora Borealis inspired by this song.

[Lesjamify]

just perfect to kiss a girl on a mountain.... we got the music.. we got the lights.. we got all the magic... uhm... now just a girl we need... "hello? any girls interested to kiss me? Hey I´m a cool one! pleaasse kiss me! aaahaaaahhhhahh i will go insane!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhharrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!­"

[BIackMoonCGI]

OMG I LOVE BOC!

[Casilofi]

/watch?v=gz0RAPmp8DQ

[etiennedauphin]

It is impossible not be moved to tears by this.

[shaunathinshavis]

This makes me so profoundly sad that I'll never get to explore those stars.

[aikighost]

@shaunathinshavis Eventually you'll get to become part of one again though. :)

[MapALife]

@shaunathinshavis, shut the fuck up!!!! I'm just kidding man, I feel the same way :(

[CliveSinclairZX]

@shaunathinshavis you explore them everytime you look into the night sky my friend

[cristolaluv]

@shaunathinshavis Be cheerful my friend great times are coming our way ;]

[Vertsk8er419]

@shaunathinshavis yes you can. focus that 3rd eye...

[thrillseeker70]

@shaunathinshavis Cmon you can do it, just deciede that you are gonna "make" it happen and focus your energy in that direction, if you tell yourself that you "can`t" do something, then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, it may take time even years to reach your goal, but in the end it`s worth it, and for sure your gonna have the biggest shit eating grin anybody ever saw because the satifation of having reached your goal would be enormous.

[MrTGM85]

like this listen to this tgm85 on soundcloud

[BrokenBassBin]

[MrScubasuit]

[tsoplika]

One of the most beautiful combinations of video and music I have seen on Youtube.

[JimmyLiska]

@tsoplika > try the music video for BoC's "June 9th." Also wonderful.

[NeverCloned1]

There are three bogus people. Not real, probably just pseudo-entities...

[NuclearViagra]

was i just where i think was?

[thriper1]

it's incredible.the nature and the space are so ******* beautiful........astonishing.n­o words to describe this....i never saw such a beautiful thing.i'll go visit norway.i MUST see this.....INCREDIBLE!!

[andjeeg]

Wonderful music and video! I love Norway like Boc

[mademoisellemarquee]

Amazing.

[Thrarin666]

how can 3 persons NOT like this?

[TBEYONDTHUNDERDOME4]

Did you see the alien??

[dipsymat3000]

Great tune, incredible great video, unspeakable beauty.

Everyone on this world should have the chance to see & hear this in real.

Froschyankee, thank you so much!

[IkesNikes]

mmmmmm i got good taste

[goonerballs]

I thought I had every BoC track including live and remixes... are you sure this is BoC?? Either way it sounds gooood

[BIackMoonCGI]

@goonerballs - It is BoC.  It's a bonus track on the Japanese issue of Campfire Headphase.

[keesvangelis]

great music and video

[actnrock]

Everything suddenly becomes less pressing when I hear this song, Norway is almost as beautiful as this song (but twice as cold!.) When I need a moment of peace, this is my go to tune. Even the fact that I am typing this draws me from the song...So I'll shut up now, it's coming to the harp part.

<3 recycle

[espacioenlace2010]

Thnk you...This is beautiful!!!!...Blessings!

[IllegalTragedy]

When I listened to this song, it reminded me terribly of Japan. Its forest, its shrines and temples, its peaceful road and when I found out that this track was a bonus track on the Japanese release, I freaked out.

[SiberianJay]

EPIC!

[CliveSinclairZX]

Wow! New song for me! I thought I had hear it all!

[RAFAELLO077]

absolute perfection.....

[redshift40]

Wish I had a cabin on that mountain.

[EternalVengeance777]

simply beautiful...

[ArUlric7]

amazing stuff, i watch this every day and feel the love of the music and video images collide... resulting in....

thumbs up for everyone!

[STRAIDED]

have to experience it to feel the pure passion and euphoria of the northen lights

[1HarryH]

Perfect work. Thanks.

[ZappaFJ]

3 miss clicks xD

[8erdling8]

wow..

[elfgurl73]

This song let's me know it's all going to be alright. Everything is okay. In fact, life is magical.

[dattajack]

@elfgurl73 did you know space weather is one of the largest threats to a planet.

[elfgurl73]

@dattajack My comment was in reference to the song Macquarie Ridge, not to this video itself. But, yeah, space weather is a threat, especially to less massive planets. Fortunately, were protected by our magnetic field. Who knows what'll happen if the poles swtich though. We'll all need a heck of a lot more sunscreen for about 20 years, most likely. I'd say our most immediate threat is the recklessness of mankind. But BoC makes me believe that we might rise above that fate.

[elfgurl73]

@dattajack My comment was in reference to the song Macquarie Ridge, not to this video itself. But, yeah, space weather is a threat, especially to less massive planets. Fortunately, were protected by our magnetic field. Who knows what'll happen if the poles switch though. We'll all need a heck of a lot more sunscreen for about 20 years, most likely. I'd say our most immediate threat is the recklessness of mankind. But BoC makes me believe that we might rise above that fate.

[Lechatmimi]

@elfgurl73 Ditto ^^

[LIGHTRONIX]

Stuff likes this assures me that there's more than just our universe. Things must exists outside our universe; The concept of "existence" and the concept of "concepts" had to have been created by something above our universe, maybe there is a God or something... of course the concept of "God" is just a metaphor for what he really is, we have no idea what he is because it's far beyond the limits of human understanding.

BoC FTW

[dattajack]

@LIGHTRONIX why do you throw your hands up and say "it's far beyond the limits of human understanding". isn't that the easy way out? people who can think in multi-variable, multi-dimensional cause and effect have a good idea of what that "outside our universe" is already. you should research the topic with the open mindset that whatever you find, besides what you hypothesis now, is still just as wonderful even if it wasn't "created".

[dattajack]

@dattajack BTW, this is space weather interacting with the electro magnetic field of the Earth. it's a natural phenomena, and is great on it's own, by coincidence. i like natural coincidences because we are lucky to witness them because of all the factors being in place just right for it to happen. if something created all these cool things it would take away from it, for me. i like it better when things happen by coincidence. well, you can study physics and know where to look for coincidences.

[LIGHTRONIX]

@dattajack where did the concept of natural coincidence come from?

[dattajack]

@LIGHTRONIX geometry and patterns. both are unit-less, and therefore natural.

[LIGHTRONIX]

@dattajack yes, but still concepts of geometry and patterns need to come from something as well.

[dattajack]

@LIGHTRONIX i can't see how geometry and patterns need to come from something other than logic? can you explain the connection? geometry and patterns are just logic, where the boundry lines and point sources are examples of assemptotic logic. logic exists as just logic, something to observe, not make, detached from any epistemeology we come up with, and especially any metaphysics. without being understood by various intelligence levels, logic still exists.

[koolworld27]

cant find this song on any BOC albums and i have pretty much all their stuff, heard it was on Campfire Headphase but it's not...:{

[TheFroschyankee]

@koolworld27 japan release of Campfire Headphase include Macquarie Ridge (last track) Beat Records..

[SnuffyWuffles]

Am I the only one who finds this annoying? I mean, why not put this amazing track on a wider release so we can ALL enjoy it and access it easily...so many musical groups do things like this...I guess we're not as cool as Japan...

[Disjointedproduction]

@TheFroschyankee yar ^

[tsoplika]

@ernest671 justin bieber. Man you have eagle eyes...

[hojo173]

@ernest671 lol ↑

[sio5RCA]

@koolworld27

[TRaddcliff]

@koolworld27 its on the Japanese release

[letsgetpostal]

@koolworld27 do you have Bloc Maxima? very jealous if you do.

[maximadog]

Amazing video! Amazing song! Amazing band! It's so good to see so many other fans of BoC...

[AndICaughtTheBeat]

Also check out Tycho "Past is Prologue" for BoC influence that is truly awesome!

[AndICaughtTheBeat]

This should be the "official" video! :) I've only seen Aurora of this vibrancy once before, in northern Saskatchewan! Amazing!

[SweeTipiez]

i love to see how people feel almost the same thing as me while listening to this..its amazing. were all in different places but listening to this song were all in one place. either in orbit or some nostalgic memory

[SweeTipiez]

jeez this song makes me want to get married during an aurora borealis sighting while listening to this song playing in the backround

[DomokunnxMusic]

They should play this lovely music on Little Planet Big World. Just saying. ;]

[RayquazasLilGirl]

@DomokunnxMusic omg perfect!
