[NODENGINEER]

Manly tears were shed.

[suslu12]

What amazing sounds... I'm all ears!

[SVCleary1980]

4 people have malfunctioning eardrums...



[fnfgreg]

i never listened to this kind of music before, but in the right state of mind this sounds pretty cool. a river of memorys flow through your mind !

[bruno1927asr]

PERFECT REMIX

[TiRi2501]

I will now turn off my screen and every light in my room and just go onto my balcony with my mobile headphones and watch that thunderstorm approach, listening to this song...awesome...brb.

[ikon804]

This is the conveyance of emotion through sound. pure and simple. and beautiful

[tigerarmyrule]

@ikon804 well said. This is great music IMO. It speaks to us as art should.

[DJMimzy]

[bubbujones]

if the cosmos could speak...this is what it would sound like.

[AdamYoo8]

I'm high right now but I wish I wasn't....I feel the need to appreciate something this incredible just as it is.

[Mygodtheastronaut]

Is it just me or is that pic trippy as shit?

[itachune]

peace through the souls

[retardeddolphin]

Where can I get this version of Shining Through? I like this one better than the album version.

[m4tt4life]

two people don't have a soul.

[Directorbbz]

Pieces like this are just so, so moving to me. I don't see how anyone can listen to this and not be utterly impressed.

Gorgeous pictures you used as well. Personally, I always had a thing for grayscale photography.

[byakuya00]

@Directorbbz Thanks for saying so.

[hannibaloo]

@Directorbbz I completely agree, I cannot comprehend how this doesn't move every single person that's ever heard this... 2 dislikes? /me shakes her head.

[DenDanskeChampDawg]

@hannibaloo Omg a woman.

[stipy95]

I love this band and I love this genre more than words can describe.

[MaryJane1011]

This Song Is One Of Their Best Ever !

[Agalloch100]

[satellites1]

You take the right pictures for this great song

[Sebbastar]

[tooldruid]

You can no longer buy this song except on ITunes...the old link was removed. Of course, you can also find it via the web. Just google it.:)

[RealBloppy]

God is great... God Is an Astronaut is also awesome.

[ThisisrazX]

It really does shine through.

[tooldruid]

The new album will be amazing I'm sure...

[TheBurgeoning]

Agree Tooldruid. Jakob and GIAA are the top of the post-rock scene.

[gavinplaysbass]

@TheBurgeoning

Currently, that may be the case. But Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky will always be close to my heart haha.

[KroNfs]

[NemiShogun]

Awesome.

[earthicedvenom]

[geniusgza7]

[Schbuggnapf]

speechless... just amazing

[Dark6Metal6inside6]

omG !! This is so fantastic !! ;D

don't listen to post rock or ambient or what ever so far ^^ But this is making a difference - wow :O

5/5

[byakuya00]

Glad you like it.\m/

[BurnWitchBurn]

well, despite this nice single, the new album is quite different from their previous works... a change is always welcome... i just dont know why they dont play beyond the dying light in their shows... saw them twice, hoping to see them playing beyond the dying light and they didnt.... Anyway GUYS check The Allstar project and Riding Panico.. portuguese post-rock bands :D

[byakuya00]

To me, the self-titled album is still very GIAA-y and it greatly shows their crossover appeal.

Thanks for the recommendations.

[ColdPiper226]

alot of things make sense when i hear this

[Springheeledjack1]

God is an astronaut need to push their stuff to film companies/TV etc etc if they are not doing this already. They are truly superb as are Jakob who are a New Zealand band.

[byakuya00]

I'm with you. Getting involved in these areas will give them more media exposure, for sure.

Sadly, most bands in this genre don't have a big label behind to build them up like that. :/

[byakuya00]

Yeah, Jakob are amazing as well.

[tetsuokun]

My soul is in peace when I hear this

[todorokusho]

Just great.

GIAA always show the increnible things...

[Darkforest91]

God Is An Astronaut has changed me for the better....

[livingoutloud40]

There are few higher forms of enlightenment to me.

GIAA Forever *__*

[tigerarmy0neverdie]

Sigur Ros and maybe EITS are the only comparable bands in godliness to me.

[Spion62]

How can one band make so many truly awesome pieces of music?

[byakuya00]

Yeah. How can they make every single song with immerse beauty and emotions? How can they take a step forward by bringing up fresh ideas each time while not straying away from their roots? How can the song titles and music always be matched perfectly? (This is the most unbelievable thing, I think)

Because GIAA, a band with no freaking limits, is one of the best bands we've seen for a long time.

Such a phenomenally talented band!

So underrated though. :/

[Spion62]

I have to admit that I've only just recently stumbled across this band. I'm amazed they've been around this long and have not received the recognition they obviously deserve. I played all their albums and an EP back-to-back straight after hearing 'Shining Through' and liked every single song. Such beautiful, epic and inspiring music. GIAA are something of a hidden gem. The mainstream won't 'get' them ... but who cares?

[byakuya00]

Uh, but a lot of good bands break up or stop making music because they don't have enough money to keep things going. Well, I never expect the mainstream to appreciate GIAA. Yet, in the post-rock field at least, GIAA deserve more than they've gotten...I just can't believe they're not as big as bands like Sigur Ros or Mogwai.

[Spion62]

Good point, byakuya00. It is indeed a shame when some great bands break up due to lack of money. Regarding being appreciated in the post-rock field... I like Mogwai and Sigur Ros too, but for me at least, GIAA blow them both away. Maybe GIAA have not been publicised quite as well as those bands have? They are certainly as good as, if not better than, them. So yes, they do deserve a lot more recognition that they currently get.

[KSCIAA]

I must agree. God is an Astronaut are among my favorite in the genre. Their songs take me to different worlds enormously different from this one we all occupy.

[byakuya00]

Couldn't agree more, KSCIAA. :)

[noblescott]

@Spion62 I don't know that much about this band but I wonder about how they are capable of such awesomeness

[aPOTg]

@Spion62 you have to be from outer space

[ScootGod]

you can easily fall asleep to this band.

[pbturkey2]

can't wait for their new album

[arkmalfius]

I prefer this band to Explosions in the Sky.

I like their intense-ness.

[byakuya00]

Me, too. I personally think they destroy all the Post-rock bands in existence.

Beautiful, Creative, Diverse, Emotional...Their music is all that and more. :)

[rarebass]

Explosions In The Sky is amazing like this band...for my theyr'e equals... they play post-rock and this is the most pretty music in the world or not?

[shaunseh]

Amazing, like always.
