Boards of Canada - Farewell Fire

Even when you stop the song, it's like it continues to play.

This track is an earworm indeed.

Such a majestic yet depressing song.

("[We] do actually believe that there are powers in music that are almost supernatural. I think you actually manipulate people with music..."

Marcus from BoC in an interview.

This song has a certain eerie sadness to it.. It makes me think of my life in retrospect. Powerful stuff.

[VideoKiwi2008]

this song is so mezmerizing and beautiful. when i first heard i thought it was boring. but then it just grew on me. a fine piece of art, perfect for relaxing and bringing up old memories.

[MrFruitrollup444]

Every song i have listened to so far by Boards Of Canada has such a strong yet so unique effect on me. Its truly amazing. This isnt just music its art and poetry through sound not lyric. astounding.

This video fits perfectly with this song, Beautiful

[SheJanel]

I keep on imagining this scene going on through my head:

It takes place during a small, quiet funeral ceremony with very few people near some body of water. Unlike the average ceremony, a lantern is used and then lit and put into the water, like the soul getting ready to travel to the afterlife. As the music fades out, the lantern's light becomes dimmer and dimmer until the lantern finally sails out to sea....
