  • To me, this will always be the background music in Tomorrowland at Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

  • Thank you very much for masterpieces like this, Paul!

  • @paulspeer1 Thank you for such a benevolent and magnanimous comment. I listen with my head as well as my ears. I myself compose songs in my head but alas I have no means of breathing flesh to the bones of my cerebral labour. Thank you again....

  • Some songs are in a dichotomy all of their own. Stored in a place where only special songs are stored. I cry when listening to this genius, I could easily melt into a mad mess in a corner listening to this. To simply say That I love it is a gargantuan understatement. Some things in life are quite ineffable.... Thank you.

  • @magnetosphere63

    como que quedan en un subconciente colectivo primario

  • @Pedro1240 Gracias, Pedro. Muy apreciada.

  • I'll cry :-)...

  • I remember going home after the Grand Coulee Dam laser show and trying to figure this out on the piano. Then my dad bought the Natural States album. Still beautiful to this day!

  • @Earendil135 That is quite the laser show at Coulee Dam, isn't it? I think it still runs during tourist season.

  • Are you really Paul Speer? I love you're music also as David Lanz, is a great honor contact with you!!! I been heat the Narada Music since i was 18, now i'm 40!!!

  • @paulspeer1 Thanks to you for the beautiful music you made, you music give happy days and great nights.

  • This music is breathtaking.  It makes me want to go up to the mountains and just take in this beautiful world! Thanks David, you are an inspiring artist!

  • @stro2004 Actually, this is my channel but I'll pass along the compliment to David. :)

  • Ever since I heard this on the radio when I was a kid I have loved it! One of the most amazing new age scores I have ever heard, it is frequently found on my playlists.

  • @JasonWardStudios Much appreciated, Jason.

  • Desde niño amé esta cancion, realmente me hizó inspirar sobre muchas escenas de mis primeras historietas, en ese entonces tendría 14 o 15 años cuando tenía esta cancion grabada en mis primeros casettes grabables y no me cansaba de escucharla, pues la fuerte carga espiritual que me transmitía era de una belleza indescriptible, serian insuficientes todas las palabras del mundo para poder explicar el sentimiento transmitido. Gracias por la musica.

  • Exquisita, gracias =)

  • Great music, great pictures, great editing, I love it.

  • Love it,,,, try out this please,

  • waking up to a morning oasis on Sunday mornings make it the best to wake up to!

  • @hyphywifeychica

    No. Almost all the smooth jazz stations around the country are gone. Here

    in the Atlanta area we have gone through three: One of the commercial stations turned into a "Jesus Station"

    and the other is a crap...err...rap station (that's probably the wrong term,

    but the first one is accurate. San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans (my home town) and others have lost their smooth jazz stations all for bigger

    bucks. How much is enough money?

    Warmly,

    Al

  • Estas melodías y paisajes trasmiten una paz al interior de nuestra alma, mente, y de nuestro mundo interno donde con ello podemos encontrar el gozo espiritual y la tranquilidad relajante necesarias cada día después del trajinar cotidiano. MUY DE VERAS LO RECOMIENDO, escúchenlo, les relajará y alegrará el espíritu y la vista, también la visión; vean y escuchen los demás temas de David Lanz y Speer Pablo, dos de los genios de este género de Música de la Nueva Era. Disfrútenlo.Dios les bendiga.

  • @Pedro1240 David y yo estamos muy agradecidos por sus amables palabras sobre nuestra música. Muchas gracias.

  • There was a radio station in Louisville, KY that played smooth jazz 4 hours per weeknight. I would record much of it, then try to buy what I liked best...I still have parts of that list un-found, but this is one of many that I am proud to own and still listen to

  • @atimtambaby do you have a jazz station still there?? this is where i got some of music too but sadly the jazz station got pulled off! errrr ppl who mess with the radio like this are annoying!

  • Es simplemente MARAVILLOSO!!!!!!! Música y video de ensueño!!!

    El álbum "Natural States" es una Obra de Arte.

    Gracias por hacer algo así de bello...

  • I recorded this song off of a radio station back in the early 1990s. I played in my car all the time. Once Cassettes went away, I stuggled to find it on DVD, as no one played it much anymore. Finally through the help of music identification software, I found this and Desert Rain (two of my MOST favorite songs ever). Thank you to Mr. Speer and Mr. Lanz for creating such balanced music for my listening ears. You both ROCK!!!

  • Please check out my channel for Beloved by David Lanz!! :)

  • I would listen to this song to relax when I was reviewing for the board exams...20 yrs later it still remains one of my favorite music...

  • wow, es hermosa melodia, me encanta y me relaja! linda.

  • David Lanz and Paul Speer...what can I say, but thank you, for your heartfelt, tranquil, uplifting musical thoughts. I remember this video from the "Natural States" Hi-Fi VHS video album I used to enjoy in my early days of suffering with severe panic attacks. Natural medicine for the soul. Wonderful memories of even a brief respite from the terror that flew by daylight, for most of my teenage years. Bravo!

  • Wish I could wake up every morning and see this! I would have my windows cracked open so I could here the waters, oh how therapeutic!

  • Beatiful David Lanz The Best

  • 2 peoples like Cook

  • another good song is yanni's: "song long my friend" not as good as this song(as in a redeeming sense) but still worth listening too.

  • I do not want to get preachy, but water foremost represents cleansing or baptism so that we may have a good conscience towards God. (Romans 6:1-11). With that being said, best wishes for success for this beautiful piece of work and peace be with you!

  • Water has always symbolized life too me. I have dreamt of placid waters and in color, like a spirit flying over a lake and no, I wasn't doing drugs either! And sometimes ocean waters* illuminated by the reflection of the sun with dark, silhouette jagged mountains in the background. Not as in a tempest but as in a relatively peaceful way.

  • For the first time, 0:20 I heard the waters, never heard that before, seriously, I guess I must have always been distracted, at first I thought it was a burned out speaker, glad I was wrong. Keep up the good work!

  • I remember this song, I first heard it back around 1991, liked it ever since and it reminds me of a close friend I knew that died of a blood infection, but I know she's in a better place. In addition, the waterfall at 2:50 first reminded me of Rainbow Falls, Hilo, HI. But that is much larger than R/F. Thanks so much for this track, when I want to be cheered up, I listen too it.

  • @compxci Hello, Mr. Jon. Thanks for dropping by my channel and saying all those nice things about Behind the Waterfall. Much appreciated.

  • @paulspeer1 You are welcome.

  • Water is therapy itself:what a beautiful sound mixed with your music and the sheer beauty of the falls balanced with this incredible track is so soothing.Beautiful sounds that are so soothing:it's music to my ears.

    Thanks for this super upload.

  • this is a master piece. 

  • Was captivated by the video which used to get played on UK's Channel 4 in the early mornings before breakfast TV ("The Art of Landscape" if memory serves). Loved the harp-like sound - was it a DX7 or something similar I wonder?

  • @daggersdukc You're right.... Yamaha DX7. The patch is called Celtic Harp.

  • love love love this music reminds me of my yesterday youth

  • love love love this music reminds me of my yesterday youth mrjameswildcat

  • i feel relaxed everytime i hear this song. it touches my inner self. whew

  • Soothing to the soul and very calming to the senses. Still my top of the list after all these years. No one comes close...

  • Fake and Gay!

  • @vinnie181 Having a bad day Vinnie?

  • I use to watch these as a kid. My dad had them on VHS I'm so glad to find them here. Thanks!

  • David Lanz is truly incredible...thank you for your talent & sharing yourself with the world :-)))

  • Can anyone see any red in the green bar? Seems like two peeps missclicked..

  • SWEET!!!!!!!

  • Hey. awesome music!

  • Browsing, I came across a David Lanz song that brought to mind this song, my favorite from the natural states video. You really brought a wonderful balance to David's composition that worked so well on this album! Thanks so much for uploading this, so more people can enjoy this rare collaboration of timeless beauty.

  • @o0Godfather You're welcome. What is Mx?

  • @paulspeer1 MEXICO

  • @MarkMezhn Got it.  Thanks, Mark.

  • loved this when it was on the landscape channel when i was younger..

  • My kind of music. Relaxing without being boring. Dramatic without being overbearing.

  • One of my dreams is to someday be good enough on the piano to play this song. David Lanz is an incredible composer. I will always love his amazing songs. <3

  • @Kataang4evr96 Erin- Check out David's youtube channel at TheDavidLanz.

  • @Kataang4evr96

    No esta muy difícil esta pieza, es una misma frase que se repite, y de hecho su belleza estriba en su sencillez y la sensibilidad de sus arreglos, se te queda fácilmente en el subconsciente, te recomiendo: In the mirror de

    Yanni, y The fisherman promese de Sergio Mendes, igual son bellisimas

  • CON ESTA MELODIA ME REMOTO A MUCHOS AÑOS ATRAS CUANDO JUGABA A QUE YO DIRIGIA A LOS MUSICOS Y LOS HACIA TOCARLA UNA Y OTRA VEZ...NO ME CANSO DE ECUCHARLA Y DISFRUTARLA...BELLISIMA Y RECONFORTANTE PARA EL ALMA.

  • @domizzi1961 Muchas gracias.

  • this is played in epcot's wonders of life pavillion.

  • i really love the song

    

  • Hello Paul,

    i listened to this song a million times when i was still young, and i still listen to it now. This is one of the best music pieces i have ever heard. Simple. Natural. Thank you for sharing this music.

  • @RyanUybengkee Thank you, Ryan. I appreciate you taking the time to post a comment.

  • reminds me of ray lynch

  • Still Love this! One of my favorites

  • DAVID LANZ AND PAUL SPEER : " NATURAL STATES " 

  • I love this music. This is how I first heard of David Lanz and Paul Speer.

  • Dear Sir;

    This was my introduction to you and David Lanz. There was a little radio station in Louisville, KY that played smooth jazz for 4 hours per night. I would tape the show, listen, then buy the discs I liked best. This was one. Thank you and the spirit within for creating music of introspection that is alternately calming and thought provoking. Warmest Regards, -Al

  • @atimtambaby Thanks, Al... much appreciated!

  • how many times..how many years now have i dream a life it does not belong to me while listening to it..how many times have I directed the sounds ot it alone, found grace...I just love it.....

  • how manu times..how many years noe have i dream a live it does not belong to me while listening to it..how many times havI directed the sounds found grace...I just love it.....

  • Prachtig prachtig!!!

  • Thank you for this lovely video and for sharing this lovely music. Have a nice day! Namaste

  • Llevaba tanto buscando el nombre de esta canción, la usaban mucho en el Canal 11 tambien con Jaime Maussan y hasta en el tren ligero, crei que jamas la encontraria. XD

  • @Maximus89Romulo03 Busca tambien musica de Karunesh, te va a encantar. Salu2

  • I played this song on the radio back in the early 90's. A listener had turned me on to it & loaned it to me to put on the air. I have since bought three copies of it, just so I will always have it around! I am so glad it is on You Tube!

  • This is my favorite song to use to relax. I always picture myself in a cave behind a little waterfall. I watch the sunlight play on the water as it trickles down, look at the rainbow in the cool mist, and generally get away from the world for a while.

  • I've been searching for this one! The search is over...I am at peace...

  • Peaceful vidoeo. I play my Native Flute in this kind of place.

  • awesome song great song

  • me favorite song 

  • Howdy;

    As I have commented on music posted by "Musicboy52" aka David Arkenstone, I first heard New Age in the mid 80's when I got a Narada Sampler Cassette. I just love the music of both David's & Paul.

    The one thing that really gets me is how you make the guitar sound most beautiful. Almost unearthly.

    It would be great if you could both do more together, like another DVD.

  • Best Lanz / Speer score, ever. Listen to it often, love it always. Always gives me shivers and always brings back my better memories.

  • Words cannot describe just how beautiful this work of art is.  Much love has gone into it, and I thank you both for sharing it with the world. Keep up the great art of your music David and Paul. Love and light to you both.

  • When I first listened to this piece on first nineties, it introduced me to the instrumental music. Now i'm an electronic musicist... You are great!

  • I went to the middle of the woods.... I played this song. I sat there peacefully, looking at nature around me. I closed my eyes... and I cried.

  • @ReirMuchoProductions wish i could do that more often

  • @zilam98 You should.

  • Conmovedora!!!! 

  • Beautiful!! :-)

  • On hold with Dell right now. They are using this as hold music. NICE!

  • wow...I was listening to Pandora with a channel named new age ambient...after about 10 songs this one comes on. An ex girlfriend use to play this cd all the time and it brought back so many memories of that time. When it came on Pandora I accidentally cut it off but was able to get the name...which led me here.

  • So nice...

  • Cute name for a song! Well anyway. I had just FOUND the NAME of this song. 25 yrs later after I first heard it in 1986. Thanks to the Tunatic Music ID service!

  • I had first heard this song at Walt Disney World at Epcot and almost immediately fell in love with it. Then a few weeks later, we were at Sea World San Antonio and heard it being played around the Coral Reef exhibit. My 4 year old daughter recognized it and said "Daddy that's the Epcot" song. From that point I started to search for it. One day it played on Disney internet radio and captured the name through Shazam. Thank you for such a beautiful song. My daughter and I always listen to it.

  • @raven69david Thats how I found out the name of that song. ID service. Instrumental songs are almost impossible to figure out the names of! It took me 25 yrs for me to find the name. Thanks to that music ID service!

  • So relaxing, it makes you feel like you don't a problem,,, don't bother!!

  • This song makes me imagine all of the microscopic creatures that live behind the waterfall. They live and eat and breathe and die without anyone noticing, but God notices and I wish I could live behind the waterfall. My healer knew Paul Speer when he was alive and he showed me this song.

  • @eyesthatseewind Um... I am very much alive. Who is your healer?

  • So enchanting. very chic.

  • Wow, this is one of the BEST songs I have ever heard in my life! Thanks for putting it up!

  • @cushingpushing then you should have the whole album called "Natural States" it is excellent. One called 'Faces of the forest' you would love.

  • Great memories with this one! It was such an inspiration to me... It helped me to start working on my own compositions... Thanks for your great music, Paul!

  • Sublime...so soothing to the soul. I've loved this piece since the '80s. I just need to close my eyes when listening to it and I am transported to another state beyond words. Awesome tune!

  • I heard this song my sophomore year of high school and it was like... it transformed me. I heard it on Kost 103.5, ( Southern California), and I listened to the station everynight at the same time in hopes that they'd play it again...never caught the name! Here I am 20 years later...and I am still tranformed! Thank you sooo much! This song and the mood it evokes in me is forever embedded in my soul! Really!

  • @tamaforbes Thats the SAME station I recorded that song from! I had this recording (off the radio) for 25 years! Having NO CLUE of name of this song! Found the name using the Tunatic music ID service!

  • I own this video. I love this song and I thought the scenery was very good.

  • i got this screensaver cd YEARS ago and love everything on it! would like to make my own vids like this someday.....

  • Awesome!!! ...no me canso de escuchar esta melodia!!!

  • can give me a link where i can download this (for free obviously)?

  • Immagini d'acqua, meravigliose!!

  • after 15years...found this wonderful and inspiring masterpiece....Thank you from the innermost of my heart,,,God Bless....!

  • paul speer--I gotta say that you two have created a masterpiece here . . it moves beyond the realm of just a song . . . it is truly wonderful, spiritual, emotive, experientual . . . I'm grateful for the opportunity to compliment you directly. I bought this album back in the 80s and I still have it! On a cassette LOL!

  • wow...I have memories with this album...I needs to find the whole thing again! I was 16 or so when I started listening to this.

  • I was had David Lanz music playing in the background not really knowing who this was, but just enjoying the music as I worked. And then, these mixes segued on to this song. I had no idea who made this classic song so I never knew where to look and here it was playing. I felt like I had stumbled onto a treasure! Thank you so much for loading this wonderful song Paul...

  • ❺★★★★★

  • loved it.........!

  • Where is that tall waterfall located? Thankyou

  • @loveflowers39 That is Snoqualmie Falls, about 20 miles east of Seattle.

  • : ) I've always wanted to know the name of this song. I've grown up with it. I downloaded a music identifier and voila! I love it! I'm so happy : ' )

  • The music brought not only the most natural sounds of slience, but some moments for us to calm. We can have some deeper contemplations that we may not have a chance to do in the daily life. It helps me to fully appreciate every flowing second!

    BTW, is it a religious song called "Gate gate"? I remembered hearing it once.

  • WOW, what a great tune... thanks guys for this amazing piece which has accompanied me in my travels for many years. Its really a treat to be able to pull it up and listen to it here.... All the best to you,

  • this somg reminds me of when i lost my father, this june will be 12 years sinse his suicide. I still miss him. Beutiful song!.

  • Beautiful music...This is the music I meditate to when I am writing poetry. Thank you for posting such beauiful music. I love it.

  • believe it or not, i first heard this song at disneyworld riding the space transit authority at tomorrowland. i dont know if it was because i was tired or just enjoying the 10 minute slow ride in the air conditioning that made me receptive to the song. anyway, i hummed the song to one of my geeky vangelis loving friends and he new exactly the song and the artists i was humming and talking about. i love this song too.

  • Recomiendo el tema PARIS BALLADE de PAUL MAURIAT / DANIELE LICARI y el tema ZELMA de JAIME TORRES. De nada!!!

  • EXCELENTE!!!

  • i love this song

    greetings from mexico

  • Paul Speer & David Lanz, I have a dream. I want before I die, meet you guys. I don't have money but if it's possible I will ride the world in my bike to meet you guys. Since the first time I heard this song I loved it. I Live in Mexico but It really doesn't matter. With this song I know Why I came to this world. Thanks a Lot. God bless you.

  • Breathtaking !!

  • Natural States is one of my favourites albums.

    20 years ago I watched this video. This song has a speecial "magic"; when you are stressed, it makes you relax, it makes you want to "fly" there....

    to feel the breeze, watch the streght and beauty of the waterfall.

    Thank you Paul for remember this moment!

    God Bless You!

  • I have been inspired and uplifted many many times by this and other Speer/Lanz recordings, however I would love to be a part of a live audience. To meet others influenced by a live concert would be energizing! Are there going to be any concerts in the Tampa Bay area this year? I Would appreciate any info.

  • I have loved this piece for years after hearing it on a music station on our satellite feed. It wasn't until tonight when it played on my Pandora station that I was able to learn what it is. Thank You so much for sharing it here too!

  • Ummm love this. I'm standing at the bottom of the waterfall letting the soothing water pore down on me.

  • i love this tune...early 90's ? thanks so much for the music paul...

  • You're welcome, Bandypaul. Actually, we released this in 1985 (a track from the Natural States album and video).  Hard for me to believe it was that long ago!

  • @paulspeer1

    I heard this song in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland and thought it was great. I liked it so much that I used it in a biology presentation that I did in High School. Sorry I thought it was from Disney didn't mean to lift your song. It is calming and reminds me of happy things.

  • @paulspeer1 What is the possibility of you and david getting together again? You guys created something uncomparable......to any of the other new age artist I have heard in quater of century since I first met you guys........truly beautiful play work.

  • @josephpizza649 Thank you, Joseph. David and I don't have any plans at this time to create something new. It could happen someday though.

  • wonderful.

  • this is from wonders of life at epcot

  • YEAH YEAH I LOVE IT BABY!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • wow... i love this song !!!

    thanks man i have many years searching this

    p.-d sorry for my bad english

  • This video reminds me of when I visited Hawaii a few years ago. My dad and I took a ride in a helicopter to admire some beautiful Hawaiian waterfalls. During the tour, this music was playing through the headphones that were provided. Although the sound wasn't very good, the music was definitely awesome!
