The night before my Summer exams one year I stayed all night typing godawful essays, because I’d been depressed and kept putting them off until it was almost too late. The next morning, I knew I had failed my exams before they even started. In a panic, I decided to stick on some ambient music to at least watch the sun come up. I was overtired and desperate, but this soothing piece of music helped me to get my head together, and I went in to do my exams. It was one of the worst days of my life, but I’ll never forget how much this music helped me to get through it.

2:50 That cut-scene really does it for me. I am now baffled at how large the ocean really is. Just think, the vast volumes of water, trillions of trillions of trillions of molecules. These liquid bodies harness life, and are made kinetic by various acts of gravity and vibration. Beautiful song.

The first time I'd ever heard this song was a year ago, almost to the day. I'd planned a trip to my subconscious and picked a playlist that this track happened to be on. I listened to it on repeat for a good majority of my trip, and the journey took me to the depths of the ocean - a place I personally find terrifying. I found myself lying on the ocean floor, tucked in the ruins of a shipwreck, looking up towards the light, and thinking "I'm safe here", which I then thought strange because as I said, I am terrified of the ocean. Ocean life swam and scuttled about around me, kelp and other ocean plants undulating with the barely perceptible movement of the water, and I sat, motionless, on the ocean floor, finally at peace. It was an amazing and humbling experience, and I'm even more mystified after having watched the video for the first time today as i prepare for another journey accompanied by this song...only to realize that it was about the ocean all along.

man this video captures the vibe of this song perfectly. its like youre on the brink of death, or already past death and into the afterlife, and youre exhausted and stranded. and the lines between reality and hallucination start to blur, and you begin to dream about things that emulate your confusion. but there's no telling whether what youre experiencing is real or not anymore, and now all theres left to do is reminisce on the life you used to live. because the future, and time itself, is no more. theres just an abyss. i can imagine this scene with this boat flowing in slow motion with faceless figures serving as a purgatory in a movie. like your life has just ended, but youre not aware of that, and now youre spit into this alternate world lacking real humanity. there's a task at hand, one that seems like it's in service of survival, but there is no surviving to be done.
