Boards of Canada - Olson

[lexissopro]

Very fitting visuals, good work!

[Aegrim]

NOT LONG ENOUGH FFFFFFF

[the2010s]

this song always makes me think the 1960-70s as a progressive and hopeful time.

[Vertsk8er419]

illuminating

[ryablake]

Thanks, Micheal, Marcus...Hope you read these from time to time. You are genuine and so are most of these comments. Glad to feel others out there on a life quest for truth through art and music. We are those rising above expanding consciousness, a cure against the scours of the world----

[pinkbeat3]

If I was to ever call any song perfect, it would be this.

[8hobo8]

Wept. For the first time in a long time.

[DenialGuys]

perfect video... 

[hochovn]

even dying would be fine while listening to boards of canada

[djteq9]

The emotion in their songs are amazing.

[ermaslv44]

this and roygbiv is my 2 favorites

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[irinisva]

Love this music!! Magical!!

[alletunbrot]

and now,i go to sleep!

peace out!

[hardcorelifeforus000]

I just want to take the time to tell everyone who is living life in fear, or scared.. life is too short for that, one day when you become old you will sit down and reminisce on your life and lets hope you have good memories. Go out and live

[eexot]

This song needs to be turned into a ballad with vocals so bad it's not even funny. A nice ballad that uses a higher vocal range that matches the high chords of the original. Please let this happen someday.

[symplec]

@eexot the fact that it is understated and short is what makes it so good. doing anything else to it would ruin the minimalist perfection of the track, and probably take away all of the emotionality.

[elliotnicklin]

I'm not even kidding... what instrument is this seriously. It's like some VSTi from God.

[IPREFERTHEMOOSE]

@elliotnicklin When BoC played back in the day, there were no VSTi's. This is all original :d

[elliotnicklin]

@IPREFERTHEMOOSE Definitely. It's so beautiful

[orbitaaltube]

@elliotnicklinthe a lot of the boards sound is all analog sytnth and I sometimes think I can get close to this sound using the minimoog which can be found as a vsi

[AdobeGillis]

@orbitaaltube Yeah, but BoC would also run these sounds through preamps that they slashed with kitchen knives and whatnot to get some ot that wobble. It's pretty unique and the noise they make is difficult to obtain prepackaged, even now.

[303shaunl]

This track portrays so much emotion, takes you back to childhood, good times and bad.

[SynesthesiaeFilms]

you did this track justice man.... very touching.

[distiking]

i was first who dislike this hahah

[slatecraft]

@distiking What the hell man? D:

[azntranc3951]

I can't believe a song that's 1:32 minutes long can invoke so many feelings and memories. ;)

[beboman009]

When I'm all stressed out, pissed or sad, ich chill, listen to this und lay on my bed. It gives me this "escape from the real world, empy your mind und appreciate what you've got" feeling. Puts me in a chillaxed mood every time. ^^

[pixelfibre]

It's little piano chords at the end that do it for me. Just so nostalgic it hurts.

[telstar4040]

Beautiful song, beautiful video.

[dredgie]

beautiful

[danubis077]

TOO SHORT TOO SHORT TOO SHORT

[bannedit999]

@danubis077 I have sat for very long times repeating this song.

[gpo746]

Beautiful peaceful vid, well put together, thanks!

[Dekoze]

Wow. Beautiful piece of music and excellent video.

It is pieces like this that reminds me of how important music is in my life.

[VincentBrooke1]

I swear the world would be a better place if everyone listened to BoC...

[benwilli]

if only it lasted longer

[AdobeGillis]

I can't discern if this is my memory or one from 1970's public television. Reminds me of old shows on off-the-wall cable stations like "Calliope". But it also reminds me of my mom and Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo.

[Fruscianriguez]

First BoC song I've ever heard; very cool. I was introduced by my new UK friends Alex and David... Too bad Omegle crapped out on us! Never again will we exchange cool bands

[RockerDuk]

A small slice of heaven.

[JonasTeh81]

Excuse me while you blow my mind.

[chocolatehen]

It always makes me feel pang of nostalgia, but I cannot stop listening : (

[jimarasthebest]

*replay,replay,replay*

[LogicBoards]

[hwhitle1]

eternal love. wonderful video.

[MountErrigal]

come on BOC boys, put something out and tour !!

[thramagen]

I've just found boc and im fucking blown away, olson and roygbiv are way better then their other songs i found so far

[kenrben]

Fuckin' Boards of Canada man. :)

[katandglen1]

good video

[other6people]

this song reminds me of just walking back and forth down the hall at a hotel at 3 in the morning and then sneaking into the pool area and just sitting on the edge of the pool pondering life. I listened to this song over and over again. That moment will forever be etched in my brain.

[smelliottbobelliott]

@other6people please read the celestine prophecy.

[openeyefilms]

One emotion...in less than 2 minutes. Inner beauty.

[stevie222wonder]

this makes me think of a sunrise after a rain.. foggy but then sunny.. don't know why but i just get the feeling that its bringing happiness out of madness..

[SteelRocker]

this song almost makes me appreciate everything even though i think the world is fucked up... excuse my language

[sodacan187]

My friend sent me this, it sounds nice!

[teeede]

Jesus christ im crying my eyes out here..

How do they do it??

[KontoretMusic]

@teeede Akai S-700 and a VHS player!

[JonnoThomas]

@teeede made me cry as well. I don't know what it is but it strikes a chord somewhere deep inside me. Good to know I'm not the only one. :D

[M4xH4xCentaurus]

@teeede I've had the same problem! D:

Made me cry the first two times I listen to it.gotta listen to it while on drugs!

[jessicaayleen]

@teeede I love knowing I'm not the only one anymore.

This song always leaves me in tears.

[VysetheLegend88]

@teeede I feel it too... <333

[Xterio]

@teeede Weed.

[ringdingdol]

@Xterio they said psilocybins or something like that, but still. Those melodies

[IndIka024]

is there going to be a future BoC album? wtf its been like 4 years since Trans Canada Highway and that wasnt even a full album, was like 6 songs. Cmon BoC, release a new album, this music is the shit!!

[Nikos898]

yeah, tell them! :-D think they did a great job and their last album is a perfect end! new album will only spoil all //

[kourampioulis]

olson always gives me the goosebumps. nice vid.

[TheLeftSideofHigh]

This is definately my favourite video for this song. Both the music and the images capture the nostalgia I have for my childhood. Excellent work, mate.

[MrSuedehead72]

superbe video, sur un classique de boc que dire??? magique tout simplement!!!!! a french dreamer.....

[decmasta]

this song is what it feels like to be alive

[Dh0m0chevsky]

absolutely

[DEaTHBRinGERZ24]

This song makes me have a funny feeling deep in my heart. Like it's beating real slow and when that happens it makes me think of being on a hill overlooking a city and beyond the city, a sunset.

[keefieboi]

You know, I never saw this video till now...I always felt the same. i am on a hill looking over vast forests into the sunset. its funny how this video has shots of the sky, and people like us envision almost the same thing!!

Beautyful song, I wish it was longer!!

[Masterslosey]

You kind of wish that this song was more than a minute, but at the same time, it's just perfect the way it is.

[Zellps0]

This track makes me think of

[adult swim]

[bobbygnosis]

This track makes me think of the word:

"Loss."

[dighty]

so proud to be scottish if this is the sort of music that comes out of here :)

[DanielBowden1975]

Great vid, reminded of me and my brother when we were kids, same age gap, what year was it filmed?

[carson97]

Video fits well. I was envisioning a journey through the atmosphere into deep space, but I like the scenes of the family as well.

[openeyefilms]

this is the kind of music that reminds me of the industrial videos we had to watch in school.

[openeyefilms]

Wow. I mean, I love this song and all..but I LOVE the way this was edited. Nice job, man! NICE JOB!

[TurtleCow11]

this song is one of the most beautiful i know.. almost make me cry.. love it!

[RGruf]

Just feel the feeling that this song suggests.

Short but awsome.

See you

[PsychoAssassin]

This is amazing, it fits with the whole nostalgia theme of BoC themselves. :D

[AmbientGuitarSounds]

Awesome video! Love this song.

Check out my BoC covers. :)
