One million views. I cannot thank you all enough for watching this video and giving such nuanced discussion on a morbid but important topic. In retrospect, there are a lot of things that I would do differently if I were to remake this video, but overall I am still happy with the final product as it is now. Thank you for motivating me to pursue my passion and continue making content through some of the most emotionally difficult and creatively burnout periods of my life. I hope to continue 2021 with more ambitious and in-depth projects, but suggestions for topics are always welcome! Thank you again, and may the ballroom remain eternal.

OR the caretaker skipped stage 1, thus making stages 1 - 6 actually the 2nd to 7th stages of dementia. This can be backed up by the hell sirens in stage 4 (aka. sundown syndrome), which actually occur in stage 5.

It's been almost a year since I discovered Everywhere at the End of Time, and almost a year since I started working at a memory care facility, where most residents there have severe dementia. I was sort of nervous going into this job. I thought it was going to be as depressing as this music. And, sure, to an extent, this music can describe certain residents at my facility. Some of them are sort of aware that they are losing their memory, and it's sad to see. But generally, everyone there is very happy, and I've learned what their favourite jokes are so I can say them the next day and hear them laugh at it like they've never heard it before. I appreciate this album deeply. I discovered it right when my grandmother forgot who I was. But it's important to have a sense of humour with people going through this disease. You can be yourself, 100% without fear of being judged. You can be as friendly or as strange, humorous or as funny as you'd like. Because in a day, and in some cases, a few minutes, they'll forget any embarrassing or stupid thing you've done and remain your friend, as long as you're friendly to them.

Personal thing here: I’ve heard many people mention or talk about certain pieces of media they “can’t listen to/watch” because they’re “not mentally prepared”. I always laughed that off… until now. This project is genuinely, and I mean genuinely, the most terrifying concept I can think of. Dementia is hands down the most terrifying thing in this world and it’s not even really that close, so a project meant to simulate it in all its horror is something that I’m certain will cause panic attacks that persist for a long time. I have been unable to really focus and take my mind off this project for the last few hours simply by seeing people talk about it, I can’t fathom listening. I saw one video where the guy called it the album that broke him, and it damn near broke me just by learning about it.

My great grandmother never got diagnosed but we knew that even if we weren't already certain it was dementia (which we were certain of), it wouldn't have helped to have it diagnosed anyway as treatments would only prolong the inevitable. Often she would flashback to World War 2 when she was locked in an internment camp (she is Japanese) because her short-term memory was so bad and she had nothing else to remember. It was sad to watch her go through that. One time, her dementia spiraled from around stage 3 or so to basically stage 6 and she fell, breaking both of her arms. That was when the delusions began in the hospital. It didn't get much better. Oftentimes, since my room was right next to hers, I would wake up in the middle of the night to her talking to herself, sometimes trying to order chinese food. It was sometimes funny but mostly sad. I rarely got sleep and I wasn't even the one who had to take care of her as that was my parent's jobs and they wouldn't let me help. If you're still going through this, try to prepare yourself more than him since nothing can really be done for him, but you'll feel the effects for a long time after if you're living with him like I was with my great grandmother. If he's already gone, I'm really sorry for your loss and know that there are people online who understand exactly how it feels to watch dementia and alzheimer's advance.

He can’t remember anything except he could tell you everything that happened those ten minutes of December 7th, that’s just how deeply that is etched in everyone’s mind”.

The first time I listened to it I did it in one sitting while writing. I liked it. It was unlike anything I’d heard before it. The last track hit me hard, I knew exactly what it was representing. I finished writing and didn’t think about the album for the rest of the day. It was just a sad but interesting experimental album that I’d stumbled on. That night I dreamed that I was sitting in a chair in a bright, hospital like room. I didn’t recognize it, but it was familiar. Hazy figures moved around me. I had no clue who they were, but felt as if I should. They spoke, but I couldn’t make any of it out. They were very cheery in a very forced way. As if they were devastated, but did not want me to know. I felt a childlike happiness all the way through. It wasn’t until I woke up that I realized that I was a dementia patient. I haven’t listened to the album since.

My grandfather passed last year due to complications with Parkinson's disease. Up until he was bedridden in a hospital, breathing shallow gasps in pain as his organs shut down, his memory was sharp as a knife. Even at 86 years of age, he only needed minor hints to remember events in his life. He had served in the Navy during Vietnam. He managed to hold out through Veteran's Day, passing the next morning in his sleep. Rest in peace, Conley. You were, and still are, my hero.

Not the sample but at least the origin of “Friends Past Reunited” has been found. It’s a rare choir recording of J.S. Bach’s choir piece “Lasst mich ihn nur noch einmal küssen”, from his St. Luke Passion BWV 246. I’m German myself and interestingly, the text is about someone who wishes to give their deceased friend one last kiss before they put him into his grave. The final minute of silence was already quite indicative of the caretaker’s death, but the choir before that singing about death is like the final nail in the coffin, if you will.

I should know. I've *always* been here.

This album is absolutely terrifying to me. I can't listen to it without getting nauseous. It's like my worst fear. It reminds me of my aunt and grandma and it horrifies me thinking about what they've gone through. My aunt... I didn't really know her, my memories of her stop at my seventh birthday, but I remember I loved her so much. She died last year but had basically already been dead for ten years before that. She got Alzheimer's at 55. The worst part to me was that when she got diagnosed she was aware that everything was going to slip away from her. Until she wasn't anymore. And my grandma... the last day I saw her, before she died, she spoke to me. She had lost the ability to speak a few weeks before. She looked at me and said, "don't you have school tomorrow?". I cried, because I did, I was in sixth grade at that time, and she remembered. I miss her every day. Idk why I'm writing this but I guess it just feels good to vent. To put down all of these thoughts i've been holding in in fear of crying. This video is brilliant

I will echo what many others have said: this album is disturbing, and not in a temporary fun kind of way. Like many people who have stumbled upon this album via internet algorithms, I am and always have been a huge music listener and creator. I have never, ever been slightly disturbed by anyone else’s music I have ever listened to, and I listen to hours of new music across genres nearly every day. Occasionally, I have made the hair on my own back stand on end by playing improvised dirges on my guitar and staring into an open closet at 3:30am alone in the dark, depressed and going without sleep for multiple nights, but EATEOT is unfathomably worse. I am in my 30s, can watch any sort of horror film and feel fine the next day, have seen real violence and death on the internet and elsewhere, have read extremely disturbing accounts of all manners of unspeakable things… and EATEOT disturbed me as much as the most disturbing thing I’ve ever had to witness (which I’ve edited out). On the other hand, just months after being scarred by this album, my dad got brain cancer, lost his memory, and died. He forgot how to do basic things, forgot who I was (“you look a lot like me!”), and forgot how to speak. I think in a way, EATEOT prepared me for the horrors of losing my dad in that way, and honestly made it a lot easier. I felt like I understood and appreciated what my dad was going through on at least some level, and it granted me patience and acceptance. I still won’t listen to this album again, though.

I wish there were artists who would do something similar to the Caretaker but...IDK...happy? I like to listen to this album backwards as in Stage 6 - Stage 1 and I like to see it as someone who has been in a terrible accident, or suffering from something serious like depression and how despite it getting better over time there is that lingering pain that is felt while recovering that may not go away, but you are alive.

The only time I’ve experienced dementia close up was when I went to see my great aunt with my grandma. We went into her room at the care home, she turned around from her wardrobe and looked at me. My grandma was talking to her but she clearly was not listening. After having a conversation with me only minutes before, she asked me “I’m sorry, but who are you?” My heart dropped so hard. I told her, “well I’m Betty’s (my grandma’s and her sister’s) grand daughter.” “What? Anthony? Anthony hasn’t got any children?” Anthony is my dad. I walked out of the room where my grandad was standing. She died a couple months after. She and her sisters were triplets, and now my grandma is the last triplet left. I really hope that doesn’t happen to her. It’s ironic, because I can’t actually remember my great aunt’s name. She’s the only one. Betty, Gwen and... the one who died with dementia. How poetic and sad.

My great grandmother had Alzheimer's and my grandma will more than likely die from it too. Watching her go from this active woman who was always on the go and could never sit still (because according to her there was always stuff to be done), was always there to take care of me, my brother and my cousins and was basically a second mom to me after my parents divorced to just a little more than an empty husk with no memory of all the things we experienced, unable to recognize me and even her own children, just faintly smiling and looking at what seems to be another dimension is absolutely terrifying. My mother is starting to display symptoms of the disease as well and I'm pretty positive I'm next in line. I feel like crying whenever I listen to this album.

I think the choir is of Angels; welcoming The Caretaker into the afterlife, his family is watching him die, which is why you hear coughing and shuffling. Then it goes silent as his soul leaves his body. Terminal lucidity makes sense but it’s also kinda less happy. So please let me have one thing to smile about during this emotional rollercoaster. Also terminal lucidity may not actually exist.

My grandma has dementia and oh my god it’s so sad. Her memory started to get worse and worse. She blames people in my family for stuff they never did for example “where did you put my bag? you moved all my stuff around last night.” but nobody in my family touched it, she moved it around. She can’t tell the difference between day or night, she speaks full hardcore Italian and when you ask her to speak english she gets all mad because she believes that she was speaking english and she can’t even tell where the washroom and her bedroom are. Her room is just a bed and a washroom (she lives at an old age home) and she will walk into the washroom thinking her bed is in there. It’s just sad I remember her being super independent, being able to live on her own but now she needs someone to be with her almost 24/7.

I’d like to say something - your voice is calm and easy to listen to, and the Caretaker’s music under it made it almost hypnotic to watch and listen to this video. Whenever a new clip started to play (the Barney clip or video essay clip) I was scared, like I was vulnerable and almost pulled out of my mind. Maybe that’s just me, but the generally calm and soothing sounds of their voice and the music paired with such a terrifying subject (dementia) just put me into some sort of state of complete vulnerability, letting my guard all the way down. I think that’s rather fitting for this video - it’s a very well made iceberg video. Well done!

I personnaly think that Stage 6's cover is genius. The canvas is a memory, and the back of the canvas says we can't see/remember this memory. I'm not usually a big fan of paintings but this one is just too good.

I don't know something is wrong with me until I play a game called 'kind words' and its soundtrack are mean to be relaxing, but I feel extremely uncomfort on a certain slow jazz track. I caught myself later that it remind me of Everywhere at the end of the time. No regret listening to this masterpiece though.

Another thing I never hear much about are some track titles on stage 3. “Back There Benjamin” “Libet delay” “Libet’s all joyful comraderies.” Libet is obviously tied to his other work but Benjamin has confused me for a bit. I looked around and found out about Benjamin Libet, a neuroscientist who had conducted an experiment based on free will. How does this relate to the alum? Idk, just kinda cool tho.

@Guineax

3 жыл бұрын

My guess is that Libet’s connection to sciences involving the brain (and the Caretaker project’s connection to the brain) is what made his name such a common motif in Kirby’s work. “Libet’s delay” is a scientific term which refers to the time between being touched and feeling the physical sensation of that touch. I believe I heard that most of the other track names in EATEOT are random jumbles of words taken from a book about the author’s experience about dementia, although I am uncertain of its name. Perhaps Benjamin Libet happened to appear in a randomly generated title and Kirby liked the name, or Kirby discovered him and the term “Libet’s delay” while researching dementia and neuroscience. TL;DR - Those tracks in EATEOT and AEBBTW are definitely named after Benjamin Libet because of his work with the brain, but how they came together as a motif is unclear. Hope this helps :)

My grandma was always doing something. If she wasn't cooking desserts for me and my cousins, she was playing solitaire, sudoku or other mind games. She was so sweet and she was always active, but she had diabetes and she smoked a lot. One day she had a stroke and had to stay in the hospital for years. I watched her hair go white because she couldn't dye it anymore, and she was getting so thin. Even when she had a brain surgery and had to stay in bed all day, she still had that bright smile, and even drew pictures of me and my mum when we visited her. I didn't like going because seeing her so weak didn't feel right, but at some point I'm glad that her mind was always clear and even when struggling physically in almost every way, she was still the same old lady that liked baking cakes and teaching me how to play sudoku. I can't remember much about her, especially her facial expressions, and it hurts me so much, but I will never forget how she brightened the whole family and my childhood.

This album is horrifying man. I watched both of my grandparents who raised me pass away over the past few months. I saw my grandmother with alzheimer's deteriorate over the past two years. She went from just having a little stutter to whatever she was. Over the two years her texts to me became more and more incoherent, until she quit using her phone altogether. as I came to visit her after her husband passed away(a few months before she passed) she would deteriorate worse and worse every week. I had to run out of the house a couple times because it just got so awful. I was showing her pictures of my niece, evelyn, a 2 year old cancer survivor, who she loved to death. She remembered her, but it got scary when her reality started getting altered. she thought we brought Evelyn over to visit a few minutes after I showed her the photos. The last time I was able to visit her to bring a gift, it really hurt. She was on her bed, splayed out, mouth wide open. She recognized me, managed to give a very tiny wide eyed nod when I asked a question. A couple of days later she came to pass. I wouldn't wish alzheimers on my worst enemies. It is so heartbreaking to watch someone deteriorate, to see the fear in their eyes when they realize over and over again that they're losing their mind.

A theory i had was that the reason why Heartaches, or Its Just a Burning Memory, shows up many times is because the character with dementia we are following has forgotten about the piece, and keeps re-listening to it "for the first time" despite the fact they have listened to it, they just forgot.

Its not until a year after i had listened to it 4 times for homework that i had found out what it was. I haven't listened to it fully since then, but it was so haunting, it really stuck with me, and now im a little obsessed with the concept lol

as someone working in memory care and dementia and has relatively for years, even though it is a very unpredictable and difficult disease, the lovely residents who i know make my life worth while, hearing their story and being able to love and care for such a lonely disease makes me hope that they feel the love others have for them before they leave this life ❤️

i have a theory with the 3rd cover. i feel that the 3rd cover slightly resembles the 2nd cover ( the flowers in a pot) i think this could mean that the flowers might have grown wildly and beyond recognition, leading back to the fact the whole piece is about dementia, leading on from that the flowers growing out of control could be a link to the fact the growth of plaque in the brain has also become out of control (this is just a theory and if u have any questions just ask)

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:01 🎵 Overview of "Everywhere at the End of Time" - The album "Everywhere at the End of Time" is a six-part experimental ambience album by The Caretaker, simulating dementia. 01:02 🎵 Level 1 - Basic Information - "Everywhere at the End of Time" is themed around dementia. - The album samples 1920s ballroom music, becoming more distorted as it progresses. - The album is divided into six stages, with the final stages featuring highly experimental noise music. 02:46 🧠 Level 2 - Deeper Themes and Album Covers - Terminal lucidity, a brief return of mental clarity before death, is represented in the last five minutes of the album. - The album covers are created by artist Ivan Seal and explore memory and its deterioration. - "Everywhere at the End of Time" and "An Empty Bliss Beyond This World" have similarities. 04:33 🎵 Level 3 - Sound of the Music - The album samples various tracks, including the 1931 song "Heartaches." - Some tracks aim to create confusion and disorientation within the listener, mirroring dementia. - The recurring use of songs from Ross Morgan's goodnight my beautiful. 06:30 🤔 Level 4 - Deeper Aspects and Connections - The album "An Empty Bliss Beyond This World" is speculated to be related to "Everywhere at the End of Time." - "Take Care, It's the Desert Out There" is seen as a possible ending to "Everywhere at the End of Time." - The idea that "Everywhere at the End of Time" may symbolize the artist's dementia experience. 09:36 🌐 Level 5 - Deeper Meanings and Niche Aspects - Speculation regarding the stage three album cover possibly having a hidden message related to brain synapses. - The use of back masking in the album for melodic effect, but not for hidden messages. - The debunked rumor of the album's sounds being sampled from a real-life nursing home. 13:17 🤫 Level 6 - Complex Theories - Speculation that the stage three album cover might hide a secret code, though it's speculative. - The presence of back masking in the album for melodic effect. - The theory that the album may intersect with artificial intelligence and mental experiences, partly inspired by a popular video essay.

I've only ever heard the first song in EATEOT. I couldn't even go past that. My fear of death, existentialism, and memory loss wouldn't let me go further. I'm so scared of losing the ones I love, but even more scared of losing the memories of them. If they die, I'll still have memories. But if I lose those memories, there'll be nothing left. But there's some morbid curiosity in me that wants to go further into EATEOT. It's scary. Terrifying even. I'm not sure how to end this, and I apologize that it ended so abruptly. I just felt like I had to get something out.

15:05 xD of course a 2013 youtube video! Ah the old secret messages in song videos...

When i was 16 and thinking about the future i said "if my hair falls out im not gonna be one of those guys trying to hold on to it" at 30 it began balding and my only wish has been for it to fall out faster so i dont have to cut it any more. Zero sadness, zero remorse. That wish is about the only consideration i give it at all. In the same vein ill say now and post here for all to see for as long as it exists: if i lose my mind, good. I dont have much to remember and my language center has been a lifelong companion i dont think will die with memory. If it does, oh well. I try to live in the moment now and my memories and regrets haunt me in the quiet hours. With memory loss itll free me to be more in the moment than ill ever get to be my whole life. Its not a blessing, but its not all bad.

I hope you find a little peace before then man. You shouldn’t have to wait on something like dementia to form just so you can live more in the moment. However I see where you’re coming from

This comment will probably be buried, but I work in a dementia facility in a nursing home. The 7 Stage Diagram is wrong, and there absolutely are 6 stages. I don't know if the 7 stage diagram is outdated or something, but there are 6 stages. One thing that I'm noticing is in the 7 stage diagram, there are things that appear to only begin in Stage 7 which normally are present as early as Stage 3. Weird. The Caretaker's album is pretty accurate, pretty much everything past Stage 4 is literally post-awareness.

As far as the 7 stages are concerned, stage 1 has no symptoms. There's still degradation, but it's not to the point that anyone would notice yet. Stage 2 is where the album starts.

13:30 "When the colours of the stage three cover are inverted, it bears a striking resemblance to synapses." I am amazed at how perceptive and creative other people can be at seeing the connection.

My mom has early dementia, “I’m 15 rn” and she’s starting to forget little things now, and now my sister dad and I have to keep up with her bc she starting to lose it. I haven’t watched the album yet, but I will listen to it soon, I just have to.

It's like a horror film with no jump scares, just creepy music

I remember a family member of mine having dementia, she stopped by at my aunts a few years back, i remember we were all gathered around, i talked to her, she looked away, looked back, stared at me, asked who i was, i introduce myself again, and she does it again. At the time i didnt really understand dementia, i kept asking why she kept asking who i was, then a couple weeks later, she stopped by again, and remembered us all, she told us stories, and lots of other things, i gave her a hug as she left... Havent seen her since.

4:44 actually the song appears in all stages, its just stages 4 - 6 are too distorted to recognize without some audio changing device.

It plays clearly enough in G1SB to recognize without needing to alter the sound.

I had a thought hearing the last song, an image that popped up in my head. I imagined angels, like those little cherub figurines, pulling the patient into "Heaven". The whole project is the process of tiny angels, angels that can dance on the head of a pin, traveling throughout the brain and destroying memories in preparation for the afterlife. All thoughts of your earthly life is removed, returning you to the blank slate of a soul you were before you were born. The cracks and pops are the angels flashing through the brain like light and cutting the connections. The brain frays and expands into a fuzzy fungus pouring out the ears and nose of the sufferer, and it is bleached white by the angels making it into a new cloud of heaven. The cherubs lift the decayed mind into cold, black heavens far away.

One of my aunts died from dementia, it was really sad that the last time I saw her I was a new person to her. It's like I never existed, my memories with her were never made. Breaks my heart that people have to go through that.

As a nursing home volunteer, dementia is a deeply depressing disease for the resident's family. And ofc it makes work harder for us cause the people don't "make any sense" anymore. They say stuff which has no context at all, they can't express themselves, it's so confusing for us. Had that situation just yesterday. Went to check BP and the resident talked such confusing stuff, I was shocked how her condition has worsened in just a couple weeks where I haven't seen hee. It's truly shocking

Thank you for your volunteering, I couldn't imagine working in a place like that because of how depressing it would be

There should be a level below the last one, which has "the hell sirens are real recordings from ww2 stuka sirens," "the Stage 6 artwork is a blank canvas, showing the death of the mind," and "in Stage 5, the transition from chaos to calmness is the symbol of extreme brain death"

As someone whos worked in a nursery for people with dementia/Alzheimer's whenever i hear anything remotely similar to EATEOT it gives me chills and scares me

11:55 It sort of sounds like the Fairy Godmother's song in Disney's Cinderella

My grandmother passed away a couple of weeks ago of Alzheimers. She had it for so many years and suffered so much. She forgot who all of us were including my mom. It breaks my heart listening to this but Im content knowing shes resting peacefully now. We were with her through every step of the way 🤍 Its more devastating for those with family who abandon them in nursery homes :(

This music gets me in an odd place from my childhood. It reminded me of when I first read Flowers for Algernon. I've never cried more from a story than that. I was only in 3rd grade when I realized the existential crisis of dementia/alzheimer's or the losing of the mind. It freaked me out as a kid. But I loved the story anyway. Jump to today having heard and listened to the tracks as a normie, and learning there's deeper levels to this... BRUH 😨
