”Music Has the Right to Children” by Boards of Canada is oft rated one of the best electronic albums of all time. It’s atmospheric soundscapes are rich with emotions, especially and unusually, nostalgia.
Nostalgia for the childhood we did and didn’t have. Nostalgia for the life we have and don’t. Nostaglia for the universe that is and never will be.
I invite you to this extended remix of BoC’s “Olson.” As one poet has said, “Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream” during the aural experience.
Or peruse the user remarks “where you find some of the most incorruptibly beautiful comments on the internet"
This song reminds me of how beautiful the world can be.
Blue light from the stained glass window in my childhood room, the sun's going down and I'm just trying to relax my mind. If Boards of Canada's music were personified, I'd be in love.
Once you start listening, you wont stop crying.
I wish you the powerful emotional bittersweet longing of being human.
