One of the greatest songs by the greatest band ever... I swear, none of their songs EVER get old; they pack that same punch every time I hear them, and I've been listening to them heavily for years now.
I thought of this band as if it were just another band hipsters used to listen to. I thought it was woeful, not worth of my time, horrible, and not deserving of the spirit of music.
At first I only had F♯ A♯ ∞ because I had heard it on the 28 Days Later soundtrack, and I thought I'd give this album a listen. I got through the first 11 minutes of this song and downloaded the entire Godspeed discography.
When I was 15, I really wanted to listen to Godspeed you black emperor. I heard it on WMBR and I just thought about how great it was over and over again. I didn't have the funds to by the album, and it wasn't on like any filesharing network that would load, and every song was so big (20 mb) that there wasn't enough space on my hard drive. (it was 2005) this is so great that it is on youtube, I eventually ripped it from the library, but I'm glad youtube exists now for everyone to hear it
For an interest check out from my videos our band Dali and its song Woods. Its an old live demo made in rush for an interview we had. Just when we got things rolling our band member had to go to army and everyone had stuff going here and there. even though the quality it gives a hint of the bands hard and somewhat simple sound. now were among the living again and will soon blow the hell off the earth
Thats God right there, dancing in between the notes. Moving with the wind. He takes a collective sigh, and whispers, "Breath. Close your eyes, and take in this moment with me."
Indescribable hearing those first notes when they play live, a wave of perfect harmony poured through the whole room. Truly the greatest band I'll ever know.
@abrahamisagreatman i lived in Holland 12 years...........this has been my weed smoking album of choice for all that time LOL LOL. In fact when i saw them in Amsterdam in Jan i had been to the coffee shop for a massive doobie before i went to the gig ha ha. Then went to the front and leaned against the stage...this track was their 2nd number of the set.....i was in Motherfucking heaven man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck this band is so overhyped to no end. And before someone posts the 'why'd you even click on it if you don't like it' consider this before you post that next time: Consider that I came to listen to this band out of curiosity. If you are all such true fans then you do not need to be creeping all the songs on youtube if you can just play them in your over sized hipster headphones anyway. How dare someone listen to new music and not immediately enjoy it eh?
@Dinonu I'm lol'ing at the fact how you're ranting about how people criticize you 5 days ago and nobody's criticized you.
This music is chill, if you don't like it- ok.
Consider this though. "Overhyped" is a relative statement. They are perfectly "hyped" for me as their hype has played out in the form of music I enjoy. They are overhyped for you because you don't like them. Sort of like me saying tomatoes are overhyped. I hate tomatoes.
@Dinonu What's missing from your incitement to flame-war is any kind of argument why GYBE is so "overhyped." The least you could do is throw out an argument. Why do you feel negatively about this music?
@Dinonu Sooo... because you listened to this song & didn't enjoy it right away, it's overhyped? Considering almost no one I consider has heard of GY!BE, I must consider you retarded. Consider, consider, consider.
Please, please reserve the word for us discerning folk so you don't spoil it by throwing the label at everything that moves. I thought anti-contrarianism was out of vogue? Oh well, better luck next season, parroting elitist rhetoric and all.
@KingCrimson776 Really? You must have a weak stomach. Of course I am being sarcastic because you are just trolling, and I of course am also trolling. So let us troll together and cause much annoyance.
@SilentOneL I hear that, but hey, the comments here look like Bruce Willis compared to the comments on Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky videos! Check out the "Svefn-g-englar" video, with the dancing retards, people cry about how beautiful it is. Imma troll there next.
6 people with hearing disabilities 'disliked' this track.....WTF ??? Anyway TOMORROW night in Amsterdam i will finally see this band after waiting 10 years to see them. Bring it on!!!
I'm going to see them in Prague in about a week. I can't wait. They were on "hiatus" for so long, I was sure I'd never get a chance to see them play live... There is a God!!!
I'm going to see them in Prague in about a week. I can't wait. They were on "hiatus" for so long, I was sure I'd never get a chance to see them play live... There is a God!!!
godspeed you! black emperor live were absolutely breathtaking. never have i experienced music so pure and true to life. a whole array of emotions rising and gently subsiding throughout the entire performance.
@mogwai142 I'm in California(US) and I'm going to tomorrow's show over here.I can't wait!
Their music is just awesome!I only found out they were having a show 3 days ago.Can't miss them cause you never know when they might stop playing again!
Well said, my freind. But, say, one of the GY!BE side-projects, 'A Silver Mt. Zion' or 'Set Fire To Flames', they've made loads of songs! Ah well, they'll never be as good as GY!BE anyway.
They started their set with this last night in Manchester and it was the greatest gig I ever went to in my life, as I had expected it would be! Godspeed are my all time favourite, and I've waited so many years for their reunion! Thankyou Godspeed wherever you are! X
Not sure if anyone caught this, but from about 6:25 to about 11:00, GY!BE uses the melody from Amazing Grace. Not completely, but you can definitely hear it in the guitar part, and a little bit in the backing strings.
What can be said about this music. It's so hard to describe. At least for me. It causes so much emotion in me. Beautiful is the mind that created this masterpiece.
I love this song. Whenever I'm really sad, or something is wrong, listening to this song always makes me feel like nothing is ever as bad as it seems, and that everything will work out it the end. :)
If there's ever been a 21st century work of art that deserves to resonate through us all , this is surely it. Life conquers all: in sorrow, in triumph!

The orgasmic crescendo from 3:10 to 6:10 is almost as good as sex. Turn it up as loud as you can close your eyes and you'll see what I mean. Keep a towel handy, just in case.
I have the LP of this album and it's just .. This song begins slowly and it gets bigger and bigger and greater and at the expolosion i'm not anymore before my pc but high on a mountain listening to the vast everything of this song. It's like listening the sounds of fluids in a tree like rain on the grass. If i listen this i'm away and i don't want to turn back.
Possibly the most beautiful song i have ever heard, provokes the deepest of emotion. Feels like a roller coaster of love, sadness, joy, and just about virutally any emotion one can ponder. Oh how i love Godspeed You! Black Emperor
anybody who listens to this piece more than once,anybody who knows they exist,anybody who knows how special this music really is...well you all deserve some good old youtube loving.
@gamersgene Ya are, what ya are - so speaks the essentialist. In my case that's a nerd - well figured. It is not so much out of place in the internet as one might be tempted to expect. Kudos

I have the LP of this album and it's just .. This song begins slowly and it gets bigger and bigger and greater and at the expolosion i'm not anymore before my pc but high on a mountain listening to the vast everything of this song. It's like listening the sounds of fluids in a tree like rain on the grass. If i listen this i'm away and i don't want to turn back.

Possibly the most beautiful song i have ever heard, provokes the deepest of emotion. Feels like a roller coaster of love, sadness, joy, and just about virutally any emotion one can ponder. Oh how i love Godspeed You! Black Emperor

@gamersgene Ya are, what ya are - so speaks the essentialist. In my case that's a nerd - well figured. It is not so much out of place in the internet as one might be tempted to expect. Kudos
