I think this song fully encompasses that feeling that most people get from BoC. That sense of nostalgia for a non existent past. It's as if this song were a person talking to you about their past through musical notes, and you're completely empathetic.

Boards of Canada always does weird things to my brain. Many of the warmer tones in tracks like this one sound like summer to me (Corsair and Everything You Do is a Balloon being other good examples), and more particularly, lonely nostalgic summers where you're simultaneously completely free as a kid and disconnected from everyone else. This track in particular once caused me to envision a time right before the start of eighth grade, at the end of August in the US when it was still hot outside, where I had to go with my mom up to my school to go over some questions about the upcoming year's schedule that I received in the mail. I remember standing on the front lawn of the school at like noon on a hot August day, and realizing that, not only were we the only car in the entire parking lot (because school obviously was out for the summer), but the elementary school was right across the street, and that was also completely empty. Both schools had massive fields for sports which weren't being used, and in that moment it occurred to me that me, my mom, and the school counselor were the only people around for several hundred yards/meters. The sun had never felt better than in that moment, and for whatever bizarre reason, that's why I listen to this music -- to have these weirdly specific memories pop back into my brain from time to time.

Woah that's awesome. You put the finger on it for me. BOC always gives me strange feelings of nostalgia but I'm never sure of what moment or what... Reading your story about lonely summer vibes made me think about a weird feeling and souvenir that I have about the sound of crickets here... They make sound at night only at the end of the summer, when school is about to begin. I remember not looking forward to begin school because of the "stress" of it, but was tired of being lonely and seeing the same friends over and over. This track somewhat has the same effect on me, like the sound of the crickets at the end of summer, the joy of ending my solitude and loneliness, but also the grief of soon not being able anymore to take my time to see the beauty around me at my tempo... Like, a new beginning?

Imagine hearing this song in the past and never hearing it again until now. You will probably begin to cry ❤

This song speaks of a past I never knew but that yet feels familiar in an odd nostalgic way... It transcends the very definition of music and stretches the boundaries of art. I don't think BoC are very conscious about their processes or highly methodic, but highly connected in that they are capable of capturing an emotional reality that lives within them rather than executing musical notes. Something that is almost impossible for most of us because the essence of the feeling is almost always lost in translation before a note is even played. That's the magic I sense behind their work.

This is a fantastic BOC track. And the video works amazingly well with it. Great stuff.

Every time I hear this song I wanna cry…it’s so beautiful.
