2022 was the most difficult year of my adult life. I was left by my wife and left alone in a foreign country with no friends or family. After the initial shock and despair I slowly drowned in apathia, still in pain yet numbed and devoid of feelings, unable to take joy in what used to lift me up before. I found this song while walking in a park at night, trying to find one little thing that helped me in some way. And it did. This sound reached deep into my heart and somehow my feelings rose again. I have cried for so long but to feel the warmth of tears across my face was such a relief after so much time of being locked in my own glooming darkness. I cannot thank you enogh for creating this truly beautiful piece of art. I am a doctor and I save lives for a living, but artists like you save lives as well. Even more, the art you create makes life worth living.

I’m convinced that music can heal any soul for just the few minutes it plays. What it does to someone’s brain is just incredible, it’s a true miracle.

Hope you'll be in a one line with greatest composers of this era (Ludovic Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, etc.) because this masterpiece deserves it.

This art piece is on another level. It does not force you to feel extreme emotions such as happiness or sadness rather, it gives you opportunity. Opportunity to find what you truly feel, what's hidden deep within and I appreciate that. It's tune dances, taps the shoulders of loneliness then suddenly skips a few steps towards the warm light of happiness. Then, comes back to looking at you. Asking us, what do you feel about everything around you right now? It's amazing how music can do this to you. You are amazing, Jordan. Thank you for making this.

When words escape you… there is this. 🙏🏼

This music calms me, and right now, thats what i need in life, things havent gone in any way the right way for me, i feel lonely, even in the biggest of crowds, i just want a hug, i want to be enough

“Who are you?” “Simply a traveler.” “No. You can’t say that. I have seen the pure agony you have experienced. You can’t just say you are a simple traveler. You are a great hero!” “Not anymore. I’m done. All I want is to find what’s mine. I’m done doing this. I want my happy ending. That’s why I travel looking for it.” “Oh. Well, good luck traveler.” “You too, wanderer. May you find your path under the sun.”

Every time I listen to this song, it gives me a deep feeling of warmth in my heart, and it helps me to relax more every time I have a situation that I have to go through alone in my room with my internal suffering, but when I listen to the first melodies, I thought: "this does help me calm down, it's a beautiful melody, I know everything will be fine every time I have panic attacks or existential problems" and well, here I am listening to it over, and over, and over, and over again to remember those moments that I was having a good time with my family and friends before it all fell apart. I love this song, regardless of its meaning, I feel like I'm in a safe place. ❤‍🩹🎼🎶

I find it pretty interesting how I feel a deep sense of loneliness and bittersweetness in this song, but people in the comments say they feel warm and magic, calm and comfort. It shows how differently a piece of art can be interpreted. A gorgeous song, for sure. I love how each press of a key is so clear.

I just became a captain in Taiwan. Driving boats to Turtle Island for customers doing water activities on the ocean. Recently I found this song you created. I am listening to it every day after work when I am riding my bike on the way back home and thinking about how hard I am working on it to take me to this place and I am improving every day. Enjoying my life and living in my dreams. Your song makes me feel like there are infinite possibilities in life. Many beautiful things are not far away, as long as you look up. Thank you.

Совсем недавно познакомилась с этим творчеством и не могу остановиться. Мне не ясно, как музыка может проникнуть туда, куда я сама не могу попасть...

Praise the Internet people! If not it, all the music industry would be still managed by greedy producers who would allow only widely known musicians to exist. I just want to thank you for this music, it feels like reading a story of somebodies life

Jordan, I know you probably won't see this, but I'm going to write it anyway. I wanted to thank you for writing this song, 2022 has tormented me a lot and I have always used this song to make me reflect. I confess that from listening to it so much, I often cried, many times I felt angry, but in none of them did I stop liking this work. Even if unconsciously, you helped me a lot and I thank you for one day thinking about these notes and creating this perfection. Thank you and congratulations!

Один человек, очень близкий для меня, открыл мне эту музыку. Теперь я слушаю и словно живу в другом мире… сколько эмоций она поднимает… благодарю за это наслаждение🙏❤️💫

This song is so beautifully, emotionally intoxicating. Within your own mind and heart you can feel a cacophony of emotion. Both sorrow and content, pain and warmth, anxiety and struggle yet comfort and relief. The potential stories that may be told with this melody are endless. If I could rename this song what my heart calls it, it would thusly be titled "Blessings & Curses." Truly a wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing it with us all. 🙏

So many people's are coming here ❤ If any one noticed me than I will be happy 😊

This feels like a safety of a shore, after being hit by someone's turbulent waves. A peace we all deserve, that resides inside of us, and your notes touched our souls. Thank you so much, Jordan, for this exquisite piano piece. You helped heal my heart.☺💞💞

Man, this song just makes me want to sit down and feel nostalgic for my past and just live in the moment and hope to create more amazing ones

So simple, so beautiful! You're my new favourite composer. Thanks god we have internet to find these art pieces.

This year 2023 gave me alot of lessons . I learnt alot . Learnt the worst and the best part of life . I lost myself and found again . I lose people and found new ones maybe it is necessary for a new start . To everyone who is reading this , everything happens for a reason . Once you will get through it you wil l feel who far have you come. You are worthy. Find yourself happiness which is hidden somewhere in you

I was taking today my usual morning walk, and youtube autoplayed this while I was walking. All of a sudden I started loving life, the sunlight playing with trees creating shadows of gold, somehow my pale hand started feeling life flowing in my skin when touching the leaves. I thanked God while being atheist and there was hope I will be happy again when breathing the cool fresh air and listening to this masterpiece, hope that one day I will be happy with my broken heart one day and will beleive in humanity again.

I hummed this song all day today i finally found it 😭😭😭 i love it so much

Mi commuovo sempre con questa musica...apre il mio cuore grazie❤❤❤❤❤😊

There is something magical, soulful and moving about this. Thank you for creating such a master piece! It is amazing and so unique - it has become a staple part of mine and my two toddlers bedtime routine ❤

Simply magical.

This is so beautiful ❤. Everytime when I listen this music, I have so comfortable, I didn't know why, but this music makes me happy when I'm happy and make makes me to cry when I'm so sad. Thank you so much...❤

''The darker the night, the brighter the stars'' Dostoevsky

I'm walking on a crisp spring morning, and find myself emersed in magic. Thank you Jordan for this piece. I listen to it on repeat throughout my day

Прекрасная музыка,❤которая вызывает эмоции 🖤

Cette reprise est incroyable! Tout est parfait! La sonorité, les balances de couleurs, la beauté des longs cheveux d’or sublimé par la lumière, la voix si douce, enveloppante, envoûtante et puissante font de cette chanson une véritable merveille auditive. Elle donne la chair de poule même après l’avoir écouté 15 fois et plus encore 🥰🙏🏼🙌🏼 merci pour ce merveilleux cadeau ❤

The simply truth is that this is not just a song, it is a piece of our souls. Thank you for this so much. I listen to it all the time. ❤

Дякую. Ви даруєте чистинку надії.

I don't know why i every time hear this peaceful sound i feel that i am in a different world that world there is only me and my love ones thank you for creating this master piece you are blessed by god ❤❤❤❤❤

It’s really magical and ambient makes me feel calm nd imaginative thanks for the music

This beautiful composition has been stuck on repeat on my playlist for weeks now.. and I still don't get tired of it. It evoked so many emotions and brought my thoughts to so many places. One of which that kept coming back to me whenever I listened to this piece... was almost like a short film... This woman who had abandoned her child (we know not what her reasons were) at a bus stop, visits the very same bus stop over and over again on a regular basis. The abandoned child, now an adult, visits the same bus stop regularly, longing to understand why he or she was abandoned... yearning to meet "mom" and find out why. And each time he/she visits the bus stop, he/she sits next to this old woman each time. Not able to recognise one another over the years, despite how many times they are at the bus stop - they both don't move, nor talk nor get on to the bus each time it comes. Instead, they just sit there in silence, deep in their own thoughts... come rain or shine -- Quietly sharing a yearning that both desire so badly.... to meet one another. We as the audience can see and know the "inevitable": They each are whom they both are actually longing to meet and possibly make ends meet. The greatest distance isn't between heaven and hell... Thank you for such a beautiful work of art, Jordan. The addition of the strings to this piece elevated it so much more.

初代のこの曲に今日出会えました。そしてこのorchestra versionとも出会えました。この出会いに感謝してます。ありがとう。とても考えさせられる曲だ。

Hello, I am doing a choreography for school, can you give me permission to use your musical piece? I will give you credits.:)

So Fantastic 😳 This song gives such a great feeling of spiritual peace 🌌🕊️💆‍♂️

Я плачу каждый раз когда слушаю это, мелодия задевает струны души и выносит на поверхность все эмоции

A piece of the universe brought to the Earth. Thank you dear composer👍🎉🎉🎉

I just want to thank you for this masterpiece. In the past few months my life has been going down the drain. Friends leaving, having to break up with my partner and other problems. For me the only thing that helps me get my emotions out is music. Up until this song the only music that touched me on a similar, deep level was Hans Zimmers Interstellar. I know im being dramatic but it just helps to just let go and let the tears come up that i try to suppress. Thank you Jordan. And good luck to all the other people that read this comment. You got this.

Thank you Jordan Critz for producing and sharing your wonderful music with UKposts and the world. ❤😢

This song drags me to the my inner darknessat the same time it accompanies in me during my anxiety attacks. So thank you very much really ❤

Music like this truly holds the power to access that part of your soul that has been layered by life. I can find my way back every time with your music.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.“ Isaiah 55:8-9

What beautiful music… this modern day classical has the sound of one of my favorite composers Abel Korzeniowski

Великолепная мелодия! ❤ слушаю на повторе. Поставлю на звонок, чтобы еще больше людей услышали этот шедевр❤

I’m lucky to have stumbled upon this beautiful piece. It’s on repeat for me. Absolute delight for the soul.

Life hits you hard with the bash coming from your loved ones, all loved ones.

You must have a truly beautiful soul to make such beautiful music. Sending you love from Armenia ❤

Oh my gosh! Turn up the headphones! This is the most beautiful and epic song of the year... of the COVID era even and more. I just found you and I'm already a big fan. This song really hits me hard in my soul. Thank you for this masterpiece. HalleluYAH

It’s my third year of playing piano and my teacher gave me this song to learn! I can’t wait to learn this masterpiece!!

As an artist this paints a beautiful mental image. More of a story than a picture. When I was a child me and my family went to visit some friends deep in the country. All of us kids went outside to play in the dark. There was snow on the ground. But life was still showing through. Me and a friend layed in the snow for what felt like hours. The sky was so clear that you could see every star. It was so quiet that you'd swear you could hear the plants growing. And in the cold crisp air all you could smell was pine. Of all my childhood memories this is the calmest one. I look back on that memory frequently. One of my deepest desires is to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothingness abounding in life, with a good friend, starring into the night sky. Free to just exist in that moment. Listening to this song, as I lay in a blanket fort with my kid, makes me feel like I'm in that moment. All the longing, desires, and dreams leading to that moment. Just a few minutes of calm. I can feel all the sadness, happiness, loss, and life that I've experienced over the years. It hurts! But it's a kind of remenecent pain. Like all the weight has been lifted off I shoulders and I can finally breathe. I can finally see just how much I've been carrying and be free. Just for a moment.

Listening to this on a rainy day just hits different...

This piece has a special place in my heart. Suddenly made mourning and walking with my far lost sadness possible. Made the frozen waters within me melt and stream again. Repulsive yet deeply desired. Hurtful yet healing. A roaring peace. I want to thank you for your work.

Truly felt by my heart ❤ thank you for saving lives

чувствую себя как в прошлом с бывшей😢😢😢 жаль что её больше нет в этой жизни, 7 лет мои лучшие годы, спасибо за музыканта!!!

I came across your songs from a guy who makes incredible hiking videos and your music elevates that experience! Since then I've started listen to your songs every night I go to bed, because I've been through a lot in these past months and this calms me down and pushes me to never give up no matter what. And I read people's stories and everyone fights their own battles and problems and I'm just in awe. You're an amazing artist keep this up because you're really giving people including me comfort and strength!

For a long time since 2019 I've been surrounded by those who seemed to be friends and those who cared and I felt as though I needed people around me to feel like I mattered, I needed anyone even if they weren't actually my friends..I felt so dumb and worried that if I make a mistake everyone will leave me I now 2024 I'm a college student and I'm alone now no close friends only small talk with classmates and my partner who means the world to me ,all ima say is this song reached a part of me where I realised being alone was the most peaceful feeling I've ever felt ,I stood at a local harbour staring at he still ocean and I just felt sorta free❤

я никогда подобного не испытывала. это произведение словно вернуло меня в те далекие времена, в которых я так нуждалась оказаться, но я знаю - их не было никогда. ваша работа дарит странное чувство спокойствия, будто то место, куда она переносит, - это и есть родной дом. это... очень необычная композиция. спасибо вам за нее.

I‘m not that tired, but after hearing this song I just want to sleep because it feels like a permanent relaxing and good inflow. I watched a lot of reels before I shazamed this song to hear it for the first time. Suddenly I realized how primitive and trash social media can be in contrast to this peace of art. I‘m happy that I‘m not in a difficult time because if I were, I would defenetily cry while listening to this song. Especially when the violin begins to play. Greetings from Germany❤️

Never listened such a pleasent music ever.All worries and Stress gone❣️

I let this loop when I go to bed at night and I usually wake up feeling like my soul has just taken a bath. I wake up feeling like, even though I suffer from debilitating anxiety, things just might work themselves out. That it's okay to experience the emotions I feel as intensely as I feel them. I wake up and apologize to myself for being so mean all the time. ❤️

Rain, thunder and this piece of art. What more could i ask. 😌

I remember when I started to follow this man, just a few years ago... He gave me more than emotions, I remember every single track and actually they are still in my mind ... They became the soundtrack of my life... Jordan please continue with your music and magic touch to make this world a better place.

When ever I listen to this im just free. helped me to let go. Me and my friend listen to this every night when we work., loved the original. thankyou for this boss!

This makes me feel SO nostalgic I love this and it makes me feel safe♥️

The masterpiece helped me remember a few hardships that I had gone through and showed me how capable I am. Thank you! ❤️

We're looking for our place among the already risen stars, so many shining lights. We're trying to shine down here on the ground so we can be carried upwards. But we forget to see the Lamplighter right next to us who carries both the ladder and the flame. You can't fly if you have no one to light your fuse

So beautiful music, really reaches my soul. Thank you

This is my favorite song, because it serves to calm down, vent or daydream, it's just ethereal

This is my favorite music! Wonderful! Very nice job!

My life summary : 0-4 : blank 5-7 : Always happy and playing 8-12 : Always happy 13-16 : Bored, beginning to stress 17-19 : Stress is now daily thing 20-21 : blank

WHEN SOMEONE LİKES THİS COMMENT İ WİLL CAME BACK AND LİSTEN THİS MASTERPİECE.... İM REALLY HAPPY TO FİND YOU JORDAN CRİTZ...!!!! THERE İS NOTHİNG TO SAY.... YOU ARE JUST AMAZİNG BRO.. KEEP MAKE MUSİC LİKE THAT....

this music is simply amazing, i don't know what you intended it to feel. I feel a deep sad inside, but never giving up, and still having a hope. Or maybe, it's just a different way to feel relaxed. Or even a unique emotion that makes me feel good. I don't actually know how to describe, it is just fantastic.

By just the background and music, I feel like I live in a fantasy world, deep in the mountains, cold fresh air, absolutely stunning!

The music an pics from the vid make me think of twighlight but after everything and they all just live a looonnnngggg happy life.❤❤❤ love this song!!!!

I'm hypnotized by this beautiful song

Oh, this melody is so dear, as if someone looked into my soul, pulling out a melody of pain and hope. After everything that has happened in my life, hearing this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for letting me relax with this tune. I was so tired of being alone and all the bad things that I really needed to relax sooner. Thank you for this piece, it is wonderful, I wish you all the best.

Best song with no words because only soul feel it

No words to explain how beautiful this music is. A pure masterpiece ❤ calm and soothing.

The soul is filled with unearthly peace and at the same time a feeling of some kind of nostalgia and despair, great work, bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It’s really beautiful. Thank you so much🙏🙌❤️

From land of Persia, I say, This is masterpiece 🖤🤘🏿

When I see this clip, I record it in my mind and the next time I listen to the music and imagine myself there, it is very interesting to connect with nature. It was interesting Thanks for share experience❤

Thank you for creating & sharing this with the world. I think it was during the late 80's I asked, "Where have all the classical composers gone?" Without monarchies commissioning this style of music, I was left to find what I could. Klaus Schultze, Brian Eno, Phillip Glass, Steve Reich were a few I discovered. I found that soundtracks to visual arts were the place modern composers could get distribution, acclaim, & payment. Thanks to modern technologies, composers are free to create & get their artwork into the hands, or ears, of those that appreciate it. Sometimes even getting paid in the process. I wish I was in a position to pay you for the joy of listening to this. I'll do what I can to share it with others & help you in that way. I'm looking forward to discovering some of your other pieces. I could be wrong, but it sounds like a waltz to me. I'd love to see how a pair of dancers interpret this. Don't get me wrong, the visuals are great also, but I thought a waltz was supposed to make you want to dance.

This is music full of inspiration✨

es una melodía hermosa, en cuanto la escuche me atrapo, no puedo dejar de escucharla. penetra en el alma.

Much love❤

It has been a long time since i cried listening to a music, not only cuz of sadness, but there is something more deep that this music awakes in me

I can't explain how this piece helped me to clean my mind. I'm tired physically but not mentally after listening to this. It is a true masterpiece that every ear should take benefit from. Absolutely loved it❤️

Beatiful Beatiful music for reflexion, studdy, sleep or any choice. Perfect

A sweet and melancholic piece to carry you into a headspace where the void touches the forlorn heart. Weaved together by a tear and one to encapsulate the whirlwind of despair.

essa composição de Jordan Critz é de uma beleza impar. Mesmo sem palavras, ela passa um sentimento profundo e uma reflexão sobre a vida, a natureza. Ela passa uma paz interior e provoca uma emoção que marca. Parabéns pela inspiração e por esse belo presente.

Это великолепно! ❤

Man, I really feel at peace listening to this tune.

this song was played on the funeral of my grandma 3 days ago. may she rest in peace and may I find some peace at some point of my life again

Thank you for this masterpiece. It help me a lot when i want to calm my mind. Sometimes i just wanna cry when i hear this. I don't know why.

Love in darkness! So beautiful and captivating! Thanks for uploading! Love it! 🥰

As soon as i first heard this, it touched my soul with such beautiful emotion. Thank you, i love it ❤
