Explosions in the Sky - Postcard from 1952

[Ticomd22]

Lets just drift into the music, forget about our struggles, forget about or misfortune. For one moment we can come together. For one second I can listen as you would listen. For one time we can all agree on something. Let the music take you to the clouds and we can all bask in a moment as one.

[TheMGiZZle]

This band just makes me want to lay on a cloud and forget the whole world and just chill like no man has ever chilled before

[MusikProductions123]

Who the hell is Tom Hiddleston? This is a charming, inspirational song, alot of songs from EITS have the same effect, always giving me realisations and such of how great things really are.

[SergioAllIndie]

This is epical with headphones at night!!!! Try to keep your eyes open, this song invites you automatically to close them and get a little reflection, and then when it comes 3:42 you realise, man...although everything, life is beautiful!

[RomavensDeathCarrige]

My friend Avery posted this on Facebook. So glad I listened to it ^_^

[Bejaut]

Very Peaceful and Relaxing! Just what I needed, Thanks Tom <3

[MadamHamre]

Tom Hiddleston sent me...

This music is lovely <3

[vitaminas135]

Tom, do you really listen to this? hahaha it's nice anyway. :p

[petervischiofilm]

@vitaminas135 i'm sure tom really does listen to this.. why wouldn't he? eits is amazing.

[vitaminas135]

@petervischiofilm Sure it is! It's really relaxing. I really like it.

[trillian95]

Tom Hiddleston is the only reason I'm here <3

[janlifeworld]

Very very nice. :) It also reminds me of Sheridan Tongue's work for the Wonders of the Universe sound track.

[Edwardslove100]

tom hiddleston said you can fly while listening to this song when running, according to the law of physics, I shall now try this out

[thesciencesrule]

@Edwardslove100 I can't wait to try it out myself! Thanks, Hiddles <3

[miniplus9]

Tom Hiddleston sent me this postcard...

[crismanj20]

listin to this song while on DMT.

[Grimmjow567]

@crismanj20 13 year old alert

[crismanj20]

@Grimmjow567 how does my comment make me a 13 year old?

[Grimmjow567]

@crismanj20 It's just the type of comment that typically 13 year olds (or around that age) make. Its kind of like saying "look at me i do drugs", and i think more often than not the person writing the comment has not even done the drug. But incase you aren't 13 and you actually have done dmt, then just beware that it looks kind of childish.

[koooldude7]

I hate that I have to change my pants every time I listen to this.

[koooldude7]

I just came

[AvatarLCS]

This might be the reason I'd choose being blind over being deaf. 

[VickWasHere]

If heaven exists, then this is the song played when you first come to it.

[JayFalq]

7 people didn't receive a postcard

[cassayy1]

people who say music now-a-days sucks, haven't discovered post-rock.

[portpi28]

every time i listen to explosions in the sky i feel like a level 5 laser lotus. unreal.

[TheThreeStrikes]

@portpi28 Community!!!!!!!

[deathcab4oc]

everyone must listen to explosions in the sky in lossless quality!

[akleinmyheart]

I would rape the part from 05.15 and forward if I could.

[pacifiedfools]

@akleinmyheart To rape it would be a sacrilege. 

[Chainsandleather95]

Música hecha por genios

[tommy834526]

There SHOULDN"T be a dislike button when it comes to this song.

[yelowbreed]

I've been looking for this for weeks!

[VagrantWatcher213]

The live one posted by Omnisoldier is so much better. I don't know why. Listen to it, it's worth it.

[cocreane]

live in Melbourne in 2 hrs.i am fucking delighted about this.

[cliffburton333]

man music used to be so good what happened now we have shit like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga... oh wait this is new

[ACE9647]

someone please tab this song for guitar, its so beautiful and just.... pure bliss.

[666666idontknow]

Merry christmas!! I got a card. Sorry for 7 guys.

[dekkancharger]

3:45 Blast from the past.

Brings back a flood of memories.

[pterryn]

Tomorrow in Belgium ...

[VickWasHere]

Seen them live. Life has been changed forever. Period.

[sangheili1024]

The one thing that bugs me about this otherwise incredible song is at the very end, where you expect them to play one last chord, yet they don't :/

[heretocheat]

amazing

[mikeoconn]

1. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place

2. All Of A Sudden I MIss Everyone

3. Those Who Tell The Truth..

4. Take Care Take Care Take Care

5. How Strange Innocence

6. The Rescue

[hijacktrickshots]

I've replayed this more than the total views of this video

[Ryandj453]

In Soviet Russia, postcard sends you!

[countingmoons]

@Ryandj453 Dude-bro... the whole "in soviet russia, the reverse happens to you" comments are so 2010. Please stop.

[SuperOctoberMonth]

@Ryandj453 how bout you go fuck mother russia eh?

[PTkortbroek]

what kind of a sad human must you be to dislike this

[fors89]

i needed something to stop hearing The Earth is not a Cold Place... this is it

[TheLebowski5]

@komalxatlas Are we not listening to the same song? This is magic! This LP is every bit as good as TEINACDP

[iloveDexterPittman]

every time i listen to this song, it makes me realize everything in my life thats great and everyone who helps me get through each day, one moment at a time. my dad loves this song, and every time i listen to it, even after he dies, i will always think of him.. <3

[Maplerkevin]

Me & my boyfriend's song.. He lives so far away, & it's very hard. But when I listen to this song, it gives me a part of him; like he's with me again.

I love this band with such a passion.. They are the only band that are truly pure, & didn't let society stain them. I'm so glad they make their music; i don't know where I'd be without them. Thank you Explosions in the Sky for your amazing, touching, music. Your music expresses the emotions I cannot. <3

[MrKjc100]

@Maplerkevin generic comment.

[Demna39]

4:05 ♥

[iloveDexterPittman]

@Demna39 that's my favorite part :) <3

[fors89]

@Demna39 totally agree, its two guitars crying together

[hijacktrickshots]

Enjoy this Music

[KLoWnXXX]

2:52

[BiFocalMusic]

This song is like a roller coaster. It has slow moments, fast moments... Drops and rises. And at the end of it, your hair is blown back and your heart is pumping and the only thing you know is that you want to ride it again... :)

[radhikamathur92]

hehe, i'm seeing them live in 4 days! :)

[WorshipSk8er]

4 people are 4 people...

[katie13555]

Absoulty pure elegance.

[alwayssugerhigh]

definitely started liking this band because of friday night lights

[HHOButterSkate]

Look at the dislike bar... Yeah, I don't see it either

[komalxatlas]

I'm still missing THE EARTH IS NOT A DEAD COLD PLACE.

[One7823]

This would be perfect for Michael Mann's Miami Vice 2 soundtrack. In fact the whole album.

[iancon1]

they killed it at lollapalooza

[Dangermind88]

tomorrow in tivoli utrecht netherlands :)

[ScreamingPsychos]

GAH! It isn't fair!

I'm in love with this band and they're coming to my city but it's an 18+ show... :( :( :( 

[NJHater]

@ScreamingPsychos get a long jacket and go on someones shoulders. works everytime. :) LoL

[CrankDatPipe]

just anava gr8 song that makes you wana run freely into a field of colourful flowers!

[Epiphone087]

3 people didnt get a post card from 1952

[thepurplebottle6]

@MarkusftMark welp, Im seeing them at Lollapalooza next wknd and Ill be trippin on acid the whole time.

[MarkusftMark]

What drugs would someone recommend to see explosions on?

[jtv005]

@MarkusftMark Pure Mdma But watch out, you might Jizz or start weeping when you hear them. Hell, I do that anyway.

[MarkusftMark]

@jtv005 Haha thanks man yeah I was thinking along those lines.. its going to mind blowing cant fucking wait October 7 Canada!

[BloggerMusicMan]

@MarkusftMark

I'm seeing them October 7th as well at the Sound Academy. I don't think I've ever been as excited for a show as I am to see these guys, and I've seen U2.

[JJBECKER02]

@jtv005 lsd



[deathcab4oc]

i just discovered this band a few week ago and they sounded so familiar. i didnt know why then i realized they made the soundtrack of Friday Night Lights which is one of my favorite shows. :)

[brtlfilms]

3 people who disliked this thought it would be a death metal song because of the name of the Band

[troguspompeius]

3 People don't recognize great music.

Looking forward to Haldern 2011

[VagrantWatcher213]

I love the live version more. The other video up in Youtube without the video of them playing, just a picture of "explosions in the sky".

[sandman842]

Love this song, can't wait till they come to baltimore

[crimsonviolet]

4 more days til their free show in SLC (yes, be seething in jealousy)

[petervischiofilm]

@crimsonviolet

:(

enjoy it man, it's going to be a great one i'm sure!

[crimsonviolet]

@petervischiofilm you from the states? i would think that the twilight concert series would also be everywhere else

[petervischiofilm]

@crimsonviolet

yeah i am, and unfortunately no. they already came to america this year, and i think they may be done :(

[SideEffect001]

@petervischiofilm

I regrettably missed them in Houston back in May of this year!! I don't know what I was thinking.

They are coming to Dallas Texas in 2 months. I live in Houston Texas, so guess what? I AM GOING!! :D

[shnabbey]

@crimsonviolet i'm seeing them on thursday in OKC! did they play any of their old stuff?

[crimsonviolet]

@shnabbey they played alot from all of the sudden, and oldies, and quite a few tracks off their new album

[LovingRock100]

@LovingRock100 yeah like early this june

[10max1100]

[crimsonviolet]

[crimsonviolet]

@iamgraydencluff this show alone made my summer :)

[iancon1]

[garrettm371]

@iancon1 it is very beautiful....

[JJBECKER02]

@iancon1 that happened to me too... i am not embarrassed in the least

[SuperIceCreamify]

I love EITS. So many ppl write suckish songs about money and sex and stuff like that so they can gain a reputation and get rich. But EITS music is different... it's so powerful and moving... it's... beautiful... :O

[DearbornsItalian]

wish I could meet all you EITS fans! no one knows how powerful this music is....

[elston92]

Best song off the album :)

[Meehowski]

epic............

[Jiggly7]

two people didn't get a postcard from 1952

[MrKjc100]

@Jiggly7 why not

[brice797]

I love their work more than anything else this society has to offer. Its the same when I catch a glance of God and he looks at me for a fleeting second, almost bored at my presence but his eyes filled with opportunity. Not that I have not succeeded in what I set out to accomplish, but more that I had and still have opportunities to follow that will take me even further... To this band I thank you for reminding me what this world has to offer

[JJBECKER02]

@brice797 And though the world doesn't have much to offer, this is definately one of its greatest ..

[griffinmatter]

Nice music!

Love the art too.

[BlueSlizzy]

3:41 <3 Love the marimba background! Best song from EITS on their new album, thinking maybe ever..

[kdynamite64]

The one person who disliked this couldnt

read the Postcard

[googoogoo]

fuck the person who disliked this

[123torrent]

Absolutely amazing. They just played Bonnaroo and converted a lot of new fans!

[petervischiofilm]

@123torrent

i have friends at bonnaroo right now. i wish i could have made it, just to see eits live.

[requiredforusanduk1]

@123torrent That was an amazing fucking performance

[atomicrooster]

@123torrent That was a great show: couldn't have been a better ending to this year's bonnaroo journey. And they played loud enough!

[slacker3153]

These guys got me through ochem. I'd have gone completely insane without Explosions.

[djairrick]

such a great song bro..

[Mashnalal]

at 4:05 + i had an orgasm!

[TheEvanAK47]

First time hearing this, and i want more!

[laloOrockpunk]

gracias.. ke buena musica ¡¡¡¡explosions up!!!!  #1

[GB4ManU7fan]

Listening to this song makes you think about women. More annoyingly, significant women in your life. Even the biggest man shrinks to the thought of the loves of their lives.

Thanks Explosions, One step closer to solving life.

[chrissrecinos]

Explosions in the Sky always make me feel so happy. This is definitely my favorite band, I own every album and I love every single minute. I want these songs to play at my wedding and even at my funeral. I truly wish I could some up how amazing these songs are, but I don't think there are words in any language to even portray the magnitude of each individual song. They're beautiful..

[LeviathanAU]

this literally made me cry.

[Creative2809]

im not a very educated person, but im bothered that people bash on any music...all of it was a gift...from something far beyond any of our minds boundaries...favor whatever you like, but dont smash other peoples enjoyment...yeah i may not buy any country albums, but seeing the beauty in all things including music is half of the battle on this journey through life. Some are better than others some are just diferent. Let it be. This song is beautiful by the way...and that is my opinion :)

[poopyhead280]

@Creative2809 good point, but you are forgetting about the people who make music for the money and popularity and not for the sake of creating something unique and beautiful

[MrIanCarthy]

WHY THE F*** IS REBECCA BLACK A RELATED VIDEO!?

[llio13]

@MrIanCarthy See If They Relate Her In This Video, It's More Common Those Viewers Will See This. There Trying To Convert Those Listeners To This & Dude Who Wouldn't Relate Her Video She Has 160,000,000 Views!

[moochu2]

everyone buy this album

[derrynator]

I love you :)

[kellylikescheerios]

i love nickelback. I love explosions in the sky.... BACK AWAY FROM ME OR YOU WILL MELT!!!

oh please.

[thegetzdgo]

Just amazing, my favorite of this record... search for "Blazing scapelands" for more post-rock...

[MaraW698]

This is truly something worth listening to forever. It just makes me so happy, it's weird.. I've been depressed for years, but when I listen to Explosions in the Sky, for those 7-10 minutes I finally feel something, and it's a happy blissful thought and it's as though everything that makes me feel bad is cast away. This beautiful music is therapy on its own, I could listen to this forever..

[jimidumdum]

yea the build is great and the drum beat that comes is phenomenal!

[elston92]

the build to this song! just ahhhhh :D

[av7470]

This is the explosions in the sky i remember... boom they are back

[iArizaaHD]

this music is my therapy, without explosions in the sky i think i would have offed myself by now. this music is my savior. i love explosions in the sky

[NineMonthMedia]

they've done it again. another fucking beautiful album

[Fydelous]

ZOMGWTFAWESOME



[aLiShikari]

Amazing

[iosonostrano]

wow,wow,wow!

[dopetasticify]

best song from the new album! cant wait to see these guys in austin, TX next month!!!! fuck yeaaaahhhhhhh

[Naturification1]

Merci EITS pour ce magnifique album ... Quel plaisir pour les oreilles ... vous avez encore su comblé vos fans dont je fais parti depuis maintenant bientôt 4 ans. =)

[michaelhinojosa13]

All of the comments on this video are self-contradicting.

[ThrowThings4fun]

no dislikes, so no one has the opportunity to say "this many people are justin bieber fans"

awesome song though, seriously.

[Reynolds773]

2:53

[danzax1]

This is my favorite track on the album...although as always I love the whole album.

[rivalcf4]

The beauty is that people show their emotion right away after hearing Explosions in the Sky. It just makes people feel free to do anything they want and let it let's the beautiful words in your head become the lyrics of the song. It can bring back the childhood but it can decide the feature. Haven't heard a better song by them in years. 

[googoogoo]

the best piece of music I've heard in years. The progression from around 3:00 to the climax at 6:00 elevates me

[rebelrebel10]

@version191 - you're definitely entitled to your own opinion. Likewise, we aren't hating on you for owning every nickelback album and favoriting all their songs on youtube.

[petervischiofilm]

@rebelrebel10

if you like nickelback, you shouldn't even be eligible to have a valid opinion.

[WickyGirl]

@petervischiofilm LOL

[IIIHALTIAMREPTARIII]

@petervischiofilm your comment made me cum.

[RalphCQ]

@petervischiofilm LMAO who likes Nickelback??

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH

Nickelass is one of the worst bands I have ever heard, heavily commercial shit too.

[austincardona]

@petervischiofilm nickelback rocks my socks off

[version191]

@rebelrebel10 This is actually a 7 minute nickleback song without vocals

[rebelrebel10]

@version191

haha...not a bad comeback. since you're clearly on a much higher level with respect to "good music", please indulge the rest of us more musically/directionally challenged folk on a few groups that you consider "meaningful".

[version191]

@rebelrebel10 All music makes me nauseous. Rock music makes my skin oily. Don't ever make me listen to classical music; it interferes with my sense of direction and I won't be able to find my way home.

[petervischiofilm]

@version191

the only reason music makes you nauseous is because you listen to nickelback. that's what's really interfering with you sense of direction. it makes me lose grip of reality as well, which is why i don't listen to it. i'd rather trip and make my sight more vivid.

[derrynator]

@petervischiofilm When you say "make my sight more vivid", is that literal and metaphoric?

[aron4251]

@rebelrebel10 If you like nickelback, you should jump off a cliff because you are a disgrace to this song

[ccsviewer]

This has been my favorite band since 2004 and it makes me so happy to read all the comments of other people who love this music as much as I do. If you ever have the chance, you must see them live no matter how far the trip. You will not be disappointed:)

[311house]

They opened with this last night in Hollywood. AMAZING!! Couldn't wait to get home and listen to it again. Like I am now. I like it so much I'm going to pay for it on itunes. If you like this, 100% chance you'll love the band Hammock. Try the song The Backward Step, it's a sure thing

[version191]

This band is for people with no attention span because its just the same lame boring meandering melodies with reverb guitar that goes nowhere and anyone that claims to actually enjoy it are only saying it because they aren't really paying attention enough to hear how bland and middle and repetitive and uncreative it is. "Damn, this is so beautiful I almost cried" - Emma, aged 9

[VagrantWatcher213]

@version191 Wtf is middle? That's not even an adjective.

[version191]

@VagrantWatcher213 i meant to say "middle of the road"
