Post-Rock is purely a Re-Evolution of Modern Music. Simply take us back to the human greatness achieved in Classical Music composers. We can be captured again in the moods and emotions of our present time. Basically we take conscience that there is nothing more sacred than perturbation of the atmospheric pressure, is the air that surrounds us and so we breath... Musik.

I remember coming across this video in 2013 when I was living and teaching in South Korea. I had heard of Mogwai, but this was my gateway to their music. I listened to this song often on long subway rides. 12:20 hits and it’s like a montage of all the beautiful and difficult moments of your life should be playing. This song really takes you through your own personal past, present and future. Wonderful song and still my favorite Mogwai track.

This song has that feel that it would belong in a scene after a battle where the hero or heroes are looking out over a field of death and destruction, and then have to carry on.

that notion you describe and the song title are almost the same, comtemplation of lifes never to unfold, children never to be born and the potential futures squandered and turnd to dust.

I look at pictures of my old childhood home, to this song. And I look at it on recent realtor sites. How it's changed. How some parts are barely recognizable. Its all been renovated, repainted and all traces of my childhood has been scrubbed from the walls and sterilized into "modern decor". I see flashes of my old toddler photos on the white-washed walls. All the blurry warmth of childhood has been removed, and all that stands is a dwindling spark in my memory.

never be sorry to vent. someone will usually see it and it help them or you. this hits me hard because of the way i have lost a kitty years ago. the thoughts of my poor gentle giant boy going out like that still haunt me. they broke in through my porch and caught him hiding under the bed. he thought he was safe. i wasn't there and he must have been so terrified and confused. i'd just bought him a new collar and a toy. and treats for him and his brother. that awful feeling of them never being enjoyed hangs around every time a cat dies and makes me sad and anxious whenever i buy something for my lil guys and fawn over how happy they'll be. i just say this feeling is crushing and makes me afraid every time i kiss them or say goodbye when i leave. you're feeling it the way i do with that disbelief and pity and sadness when one passes away violently, leaving happy memories unmade, even for all of the ones you had together. goodnight to your sweet kitty. law enforcement and AC did nothing to help us. there are problem dogs in our neighborhood again who follow kitties home and have also broken into my apartment and hurt one of my boys terribly. he lived but-- twice now?? it's insane. this time the authorities are more helpful and taking it seriously. i hope you can find some kind of justice even if it only helps to know you might spare another family a tragedy to their pets or children.
