best use of a slide projector I've seen in my life.

I've seen this video more times than I can count, and that damn slide projector still blows my mind! It's that moment at the end when you see Martin with the laptop and the legos, and all I can think is "wow, just wow". Truly an amazing visual technique that no one else has done (that I know of) In one of his videos he says he lived in that shack for something like 6 months, and this video was the main result of it

Dear Wintergatan,It is physically impossible for me to express my gratitude towards you in a simple text-based interface. However, I will say to you here in this text-based interface that you are absolutely my favorite band ever. EVER. Especially this song - which is my second favorite song ever - soooo emotional and, just, how do I say it? Inspiring. It has saved me from numerous bad moods, and in some cases has saved me from total depression. And the chills I get every single time when that star appears - no other song can do that. You are truly amazing and have earned my gratitude. I wish I could like this video a thousand times. You are just truly the definition of awesome.Thank you very much for making my life - and thousands of others lives - that much better. Thank you.-Steve

It's a statement I agree with, I gotta add. Because objectively, you have to be pretty negative in order to *not* see the beauty in this video, and not value the effort that Wintergatan clearly invested in creating it.

This song feels like a place and time which is fondly remembered, but which can never be revisited in person; only through memories and shared experiences

I rarely comment on things, but I care enough about this to comment here. This is my all time favorite song from this band, and out of any song I've heard. There's so much to this song to me. Even without the images, it tells a story. That's what I love about this band. You make songs that tell stories. Especially this one. I love how in the start the song feels lonely, but hopeful. It's melancholy, it's bittersweet. Yet somehow, as the song progresses, you repeat that exact leitmotif, but make it sound more hopeful, and eventually triumphant. I ask myself every time I hear this song: "How did he do that??" That's what I want to learn how to do. You are a musical genius, and I can only hope to be even half as good as you. I actually wonder if there is any way I could get the sheet music for this song. I'd love to learn how to play it on piano, and I would even want to send you my cover if I get good enough. It's my favorite song, and I've managed to learn the main melody by ear, but the chord progression is what particularly escapes me. Thank you for making such stellar music!

This man is insanely good at portraying emotion through sound. I can't get enough

So uh… confession time. When I first heard this song in one of your live performance recordings, it made me cry. This is the only song that’s been able to do that, and fairly consistently at that. Just… something about it hits my nostalgia just right. And I’ll always cherish it because of that. Thank you for putting that beauty out into the world.

It's not just music. This is art.

This is my favorite song by Wintergatan. It feels like someone hugs you and says "Everything will be alright".

This is so relaxing and it's soooooo good !

Engineering, musical composition/implementation, and mad frisbee golf skills. Respect.

"Hey, what if asmr videos were a band?" And wintergatan was born.

Oh Wintergatan, what beautiful humans you are. Engineering meets music perfectly, just like everyone's said already. But did anyone else get the drum fill at 3:40 played without seemingly raising an eyebrow, and obviously incorporating the custom horizontal kick pedal? Sick.

I just heard this song on dutch television. Glad to see that this is (FINALLY!) being noticed by more and more people. Well done!

People turned their phones upside down accidentally and thought they were liking the video! So they all loved it!❤️ wintergatan

This became my "happy song" on chemo days, and still makes me smile every time.

Yo I came back to listen to this song and I almost cried because I felt the nostalgia in this song.

Nearly 8 years later and I just came back to listen again (watching your Marble X Machine series, cannot wait for it to be ready).

I know it's been a long time since this song has came out but I just want to say to him, Never stop being yourself. I love your music. Good luck on the marble machine x. And thanks for bringing a new and wonderful genre of music to the world. It's amazing.

I love how you guys continually manage to find new and interesting objects to use as instruments. That slide projector...

This makes me happy, kicks of dreams and puts a big smile on my face. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and from above the clouds!

This was one of the first songs I found when I accidentally discovered Wintergatan... so I always get a very special feeling whenever I hear this.

Wow, what incredible talent and beautiful music! Thank you so much :)

Its crazy to comeback and rewatch some of these older music videos you guys did back a little over a decade ago. I remember several years ago when I first watched these and the music is just as fantastic now as it was then. But what's made me had a deeper appreciation for these videos is the behind the scenes footage they left at the end of each video. I recall a late teen adult thinking it was so cool getting to see these sneak peaks, but i think I have an even bigger appreciation for them now as I now better understand all the time spent to create art, from making these instruments like the iconic original music box and the Modulin, to Martin translating the notes from the computer program and marking and manually punching out each and every note, to even show the process of designing the stop motion animations for these videos. I do hope that one day, these kinds of music videos return with or without a marble machine, since these slice of life snippets at the end are also art and a treasure in it of itself.

The music box at the end....so pure....

Let me tell you how this track affects me: I cry even when I think about it. To me, it's a masterpiece. How can it be so full of life but also of sadness? I feel like life is so celebrated when I hear this. It climbs up so smoothly to solos in the end and the climactic drum break. There are very few songs that I feel I need to have on my funeral. This is the one. It's pure joy, sadness, all in one. This is what makes life worth living.
