19 (baby!)
inverted baby
bright blue sky scenes
obscura in my bedroom
lying on the floor we had some times
bad ideas
soft spoken music to my ears
spending my money
like i wish i had spent time
but no our legacy sheets
can bring me sweet dreams
how strange is it when ours is lost in them
i said whenever you called id be there
i hope you never take advice from your friends
crammed in to the back seat of my first car
that i drove too fast
running from the thought i
know you dont get it when i say i been balling
its all bless
you couldnt stop crying i couldnt cry at all
how can i dance myself clean?
these rooms just dirty my soles
slowly my friends turned to places
i cant be everywhere at once
i watched some friends turn to places
now its just a one way convo
and til youre not afraid of going
ill be right here on your arm
and when its not my choice in staying
ill go
i know our legacy sheets
cant bring me sweet dreams
how strange is it when ours is lost in them
i said whenever you called id be there
i hope you never take advice from your friends
crammed in to the back seat of my first car
that i drove too fast
running from the thought i
know you dont get it when i tell you im balling
balling
we were just kids
you couldnt stop crying i couldnt cry at all
how can i dance myself clean?
these rooms just dirty my soles
slowly my friends turned to places
and i cant be everywhere at once
i watched some friends turn to places
now its just a one way convo

all of Edens songs just get better and better the more you listen to them
Forreal my g
HE JUST DOESNT GET ENOUGH RECOGNITION. Feels so good seeing you're a fellow man of culture as well. also have you heard of karl-
what a W seeing the milkman here
Oh hey Dani
Also I recommend “Brakence”
The only artist I dedicate an entire playlist to, because his music is timeless and so perfect to me. Thanks again for amazing work man. Cheers
Sameee
ITYTTMOM
Agreed
So true
I was justtt thinking of making a playlist for EDEN! Can you please share the link with me??
I also have one for him with over 100 songs
the first guy i've ever been in love with passed away because of cancer a few weeks ago, today was his birthday he was supposed to turn 21. now getting a song from my favorite artist on his birthday and the outro being "rest easy" means the world to me.
Hope you find peace, I'm sure he did, RIP
how special! thats the thing with eden’s music that i love so much… his connection with his fans is on a spiritual level i believe, is what i also like to think because youd be surprised how many times eden appeared and was in small details of my/our life. RIP to your first love. 🌻
Rest in peace
best wishes for you, from everyone; i hope you live life to the fullest
sending you love and peace ❤️
Jon, man, your music has helped me express myself through some dark times ever since i was 16. Now I'm 25 (26 in a few days) and i'm relatively happy these days, your music nowadays has this ability to help me recognize how far I've come inner-personally by putting me back in those emotions I felt all those years ago. It's beautiful. Unfortunately, dont listen to your music like I used to as i dont often feel the need to relate, but i'll be damned if i dont listen to every new release and appreciate this music; from an internet artist i found all those years ago as a sophomore in high school to doing full blown tours! I grew up on this and i just wanted to say thank you. I don't know how i would have made it this far without YOUR art. Thank you.
Back when it was ‘the Eden project’ 🤓
❤️
I have never been able to relate to a comment so much before. His music got me through the loss of my grandparents and best friends. Not to mention the countless other times I've had breakdowns and just turned on EDEN and closed my eyes. There is just something special about the music. People truly underestimate the power of a good melody
Same here, you said it all! Thank you ❤️
@@TheRealKjareFox He's so smart when he writes something, the music makes you feel better and it's just perfect.. EDEN is so underrated, and will always be i guess.
i really love how the pitched up vocals take center stage for this song while his normal voice is the backing! Nice and interesting twist :) I love it
makes it more of a summery vibe
its not the first time he does that i think
Noticed that too
woah true
proud to say i’ve been here for years, keep doing what you’re doing J
A lot of people have, he peaked in popularity in like 2012-2014
Me too! Saw him live a couple years ago and been a fan since i was like 10. Im 18 now
@@Futurebound_jpg 19 now, years go by too fast for us to grasp
Thank you for continuing to create. Your music is genius and innovative and has gotten me through some of my roughest times.
Same here
Same here
HIPYO?! LOL I ALMOST FORGOT KADELI IS INSPIRED BY EDEN
Same here man
Truly didnt expect hipyo to be here lol
"and 'til you're not afraid of going, i'll be right here on your arm, and when it's not my choice in staying, i'll go..."
this new era is so exciting, I can't wait to see what else you have in store!!!! loving the new direction
I love ‘modern warfare’ so much, and this song is also so beautiful, can’t wait for a album with this “new style” it’s sound so perfect.
Safe to say I will be one of the first to buy tickets to your next tour regardless of price, your music never fails to move me and how you deliver each lyric affects me deeper, reliving emotions I've thought I lost.
the reliving emotions is a great way to put it. only music that really does this for me constantly is eden and radiohead
@@JelaTC 100% the song I really hope to see come out tho would have to be "Dreaming about you" that will bring back hurtful but enjoyable memories
@@free__fall4974 absolutely. i wish he’d drop “running tripping falling” too lol
This song has no right being this incredibly detailed. Eden has truly mastered music production, and I never thought I'd say that after listening to a guitar/vocal focused track. I feel like I'm hearing something new with every listen
the ability to use the little tricks with subtlety and have a lot of those little spices that work under the hood when the overall song is completely different requires an incredible skillset :p
You’re one of the artists who inspired me to start touching music publicly. You’re seriously one of the most underrated and talented artists of our generation man. You definitely inspired Brakence, Glaive and I’d say all the others who’ve broken the barrier with the “sad boy” music-esque stuff. Much love dude. Amazing to hear you tap into those runs and highlight them noice vocals.
exceptionally happy to see you in this comment section. real respects real
@@SoLoActavis he is absolutely gas bro!
EDEN's songs always carry a special feeling. Something that resonates deep within. Idk why but his songs give me goosebumps. Always. Just soemthing about the voice, the tunes, the vibe that plucks a string in my soul, deep, hidden from unforgiving world, finds solace in Eden's songs. I'm grateful to be alive.
What I love most about these songs is just how replayable and timeless they are.
Typically I'm skeptical on the first listen, but then I think about it and listen to it some more, and I pick up something new each time and the next thing I know I'm addicted.
And no matter how long it's been, I always find myself coming back to listen to an EDEN song.
What a beautiful shot at 2:50
Props to the filmmaker
"you couldn't stop crying, i couldn't cry at all"🥲
1:15
“from my first car that i drove too fast”
reminds me of his song Gone when he was The Eden Project:
“No I don’t drive slow but it’s better than not moving at all”
Your music carries me to another universe. Thank you
I listened to Jon with my ex boyfriend a few years ago, and now that he suddenly died his songs resonate with me so much more. I’m able to feel closer to my bf and cope thanks to Jon’s music. Thank you
Loving the unlisted releases.
Feels so much more connection based compared to premieres.
Something we all need right now.
So grateful for your medium 👁❤️👁x
This is my interpretation of the video. I've seen a few comments saying how the song itself is about accepting the past, moving on, and trying to figure out the next step (0:10). I think there is a special application here to letting go of people, especially when he says, "slowly my friends turned to places, i can't be everywhere at once." When it comes to the video itself, we see all three people moving/existing aimlessly, (man staring at the ocean, woman falling out of the passenger seat of a driver-less, slow-moving car, and the older woman staring at a screen) which might be demonstrating that element of, "I don't know what to do next." I think it was intentional that this was filmed in Beirut, where an ammonium nitrate explosion killed hundred and displaced many as refugees (the Beirut Explosion). At 2:57, it shows a series of black and white images, where I think a few are referencing the catastrophe that happened in Beirut, alongside the characters in the video. There is this separation of loved ones in the video, and a tenderness when they are together, but an emptiness when they are alone except for the older woman who decides to close the screen and learns to be happy on her own. The last scene with the younger and older woman (who I assume are mother and daughter) shows what seems like a reunion between the two, or a cherished dream/memory the younger woman holds on to, such as tea with her mother. Whenever the characters are together, the background changes may be indicating that the scene is occurring in their dreams, such as the mother and daughter, where the daughter falls asleep and wakes up in her mothers place. Certain things displace people, or lead people to live in different spaces than you, the song and video seems to project peace with this and a bittersweet nostalgia when we look back on these memories. However I could easily be completely wrong, this was just my first thoughts from someone who has rewatched this video too many times lol :)
Definitely agree 🐧
any kind of metaphorical meaning in music usually just goes straight over my head, idk how yall think of all this
there is something that I want to add. the old woman not making tea, it is coffee and it seems like Turkish coffee or coffee arabica which both are pretty bitter. so maybe this is one of the ways to live their sorrow.
A g r e e
I think 2:57 is imagery of a rocket taking off, which then you see moving through the clouds at 3:36. There's also what looks like a rocket/shuttle breaking up on reentry at 2:52, which seems to be happening in the dreamstate. The Beirut explosion analogy is probably correct, or EDEN wanted to acknowledge it, but perhaps the rocket imagery in the dream indicates what that these people are afraid of failure in their lives, not pushing far enough to reach a new place and "breaking up/falling apart" along their journey. The black and white imagery flashes at the climax of the track, almost as if it's jolting them back awake, as the rocket is actually taking off. Then the mom and daughter view the successful launch, in reality. So perhaps, by reuniting with someone she loves and trusts, she realizes she can get through life like the rocket moves through the atmosphere, moving to greater purpose in space.
EDEN and the woman next to him look like racecar drivers, but they also could be astronauts? IDK really.
it's been a year. this song has been with me through tough times ever since. thank you for everything, jon
I will never get over how blissfully empty this artist can truly make me feel highlighting all the things I try to shove deep down and he brings them to the surface in the best way possible. Never has an artist helped me grow so much
Your music is catharsis for my soul. As someone who's been listening since The Eden Project era, you've gotten me through some dark times in my life. Thank you Jon. I can't wait to see what's in store next
1 millionnnnn
I've been here Since the beginning of Eden project, until today, and for forever more. I love you Eden. In ways you speak to my soul at every stage of my life in ways I've never connected with before. I hope you understand the magnitude of your impact. I'm grateful to have ever found you.
Superstar !!!!
when this song came out people hated the higher pitched voice. but listening to it again after 2 years it's really beautiful
I'm 40 yrs old and this is the most genuine singer I've ever heard
Damn straight pablo
I don’t even know how to explain, this is the past few weeks of my life. He writes the words I can’t convert from feelings, I know we are not the same but maybe our feelings are. Jon and his work will always be one of the most sacred important parts of my life as I grow up. I hope he continues to carry on the way he has helped me carry on. Nothing but love for him and the beauty he creates.
i really relate to this
been a long time since I’ve had this feeling of pure joy listening for the first time, thank you Jon
nothing i can describe eden , just i wnna say you're our gift in this planet nd thx for all that beautiful feelings u bring it to our hearts 🤍
the way he sings “i’ll be right here on your arm” oH MY GODDDD
I fall further in love with your lyrics Everytime I hear them. Excited for the album.
Eden is one of the only people that brings true raw emotion out of me. I LITERALLY WAS BALLIN LISTENING TO THIS SONG😭
Username definitely doesn't fit the comment loool
When i found out at 13 that my dad was addicted to drugs and suicidal, my world fell apart. I had your music on when i found the faded lines of coke in the livingroom. Its been almost 7 years later and I still listen to your songs, they made me stronger and they made me who I am today. You helped me through a time where i wasnt even sure if i'd survive it on my own, so thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart
my heart
Best text I could’ve received tonight. Thanks
I’m so glad to have supported you throughout your journey, I can’t wait to see what more you have to release. I love this song already
aqui desde 2015 sempre ouvindo você. obrigado por salvar minha vida diversas vezes com suas músicas.
I'd be lying i didn't say I've waited so long for more music from you. You've changed my life and my mental, I owe you so much. Thank you for releasing what you can. I'd wait a decade if it meant hearing your music.
Pure class as always EDEN.
After listening for years, I find your music so interesting in the way that you create this like personal experience through all of your songs and I don't know if it's intended, but it allows the listener to interpret the song through their own experiences finding moments of nostalgia, yet reality. Thank you for your music. There is so much substance and elements in your music, it's different than anyone else for so many reasons and I'm so excited for more.
Even after listening to the live version a hundred, I’m just now understanding that ballin isn’t just feeling great and living life, but also he’s balling his eyes out at the loss of time and the relationships he couldn’t keep. I learn something new every time I hear his music 🔥❤️
What I love the most about his music is the the feeling of forgiving and healing yourself. It's sounds like heaven is chaos.
Damn, been listen to this guy for 7 years
edit: fuck covid. he tested positive and i was leaving for a trip. we couldnt make it
when he performed this in london in december, he introduced it as a song for the places you cant visit anymore or the people you dont talk to anymore. immediately my mind went to an old internet friend owen, who was the one who introduced me to his music five years ago. been waiting for this release since. me and owen drifted a little after a couple years, only talking every few months or so. i started talking to him a bit more regularly in the past few weeks, just in time for this song to finally come out. i love it so much. me and owen are both 18 now, and planning to meet up soon. will definately be playing this in my headphones when we make the journey
ive been listening to u since i was 16 when i ever was going thru shit and for awhile i stopped listening to u. now im 20 and the past months youve been on repeat and when i listened to ur music for the first time in long time, i felt 16 again..and even if didnt feel good realizing that I'll prolly forever feel this way..i truly hope that one day id listen to ur music because im finally okay and not cuz i feel like shit. and i truly wanna thank u, ur music makes me feel understood and it makes feel like im floating and my problems arent there? anyways ly
It's the little things that go unnoticed. I mean how can I mind think like that, "But no our legacy sheets
Can't bring me sweet dreams
How strange is it when ours is lost in them?"
We stay while others just leave. I wish people would fight for each other a little more.
how did you come to decide the sonic palette of the upcoming album? from the two singles we've heard it already sounds incredibly varied and interesting, curious to know what things inspired you to take such an experimental and fresh turn for this project. absolutely loving the stuff so far and what i heard in brooklyn in january, excited for more :)
i felt like my music was always experimental? it varies in intensity but it has always felt like an exploration to me. so i dont really decide on sonics. its not premeditated. i love what i love and i follow the feeling
@@iameden very cool and inspiring type of workflow. can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
The woman in all paisley on the rug with the computer and the lone man looking into the broad abyssal horizon is very compelling. I told you a few years ago when I met you in St. Louis Missouri that you're my biggest inspiration. My fiance and I love your music. You're always pushing the boundary of what emotions and nuances can be transcribed into a digestible form of music. Keep up the good work.
I love the lyrics but the production quality is what I'm fascinated to!
It sounds like every words were reversed and the glitchiness is just soothing and calm!
I'm a bit older than I used to be... this song made me cry, thinking about how I hurried through the good times at the start and no facing the end of the road.
A year and 1 month already, man time flies when you're listening to eden
Watching the evolution of this man as a person projected and reflected into his music, live and on record has been such a treat🥹
This song hits a spot so close to home, I don't think I'll ever stop listening to eden. His music gives me so much life and creativity☺️😍😊
this song gave me a better idea how to mix my song. much, much appreciated.
Ive been listening to jon since I was 15, now im going on 21 and his music never ceases to amaze. Really saved my life back then, and lets me enjoy life now…. I had tickets to see his concert, before covid cancelled it.
I will always be a fan, and hope i get the chance one day to meet this genius
All edens songs make me emotional, I hope this guy never stops uploading!
This man could be singing about watermelons and I will still cry 💜
Eden's voice is so smooth, and your songs is amazing. You're a legend.
talentoso para um car4lho, não me canso de dizer. ansiosa demais pra esse álbum!!
simmmmmmmm
Finalmente mais músicas pra gente chorar ❤️
Simm
Apenas a verdade.
deus te ouça pra isso ser um album inteiro
The entire video is shot in Lebanon beirut near beirut port and shows what the typical lebanese house looks like which is awesome, also both women are lebanese and the vibe there is as beautiful as the actual song i live in beirut.
The use of Sonder in your videos is sublime.
Goosebumps. This song has touched me deeper than any song has in years.
Eden do be balling 🏀
🏀🏀🏀
Tenho orgulho de dizer que escuto Eden desde 2014 e desde 2014 ele vem sendo meu musico favorito, amei cada album,ep e musicas que vieram e com balling não foi diferente é uma musica incrivel que provavelmente vou escutar pelo resto de 2022 todo
faço do seu comentário o meu
@@marivanilly varios BR
eh chique esse ai, mas das recentes projector continua sendo minha favorita, eden eh minha inspiracao demais, um dia vou estar produzindo musica igual ele s2
Caraca desde 2014, rapaiz
Eu escuto desde 2015, nunca enjoei cara, Eden é uma obra prima
God, father of mine, and my grandmother Maria, please help me bless this world. I want to see us all shine. The songs I’ve heard have given me signs. We all aligned the stars shined. We cried and everything turned to night. On this day I sing to you who wish to hear. Please no longer fear as I am here ❤️🌞❤️
The more i grow the more edens music hurts. But i love it, at least i dont feel lonely
Eden's music never fails to make me feel so many emotions all at once in the best way possible
Such a beautiful beautiful song
I feel like one of the lucky ones, who found you, who want to keep you a secret, your music is so pure and real and I don't want the whole world to know about you. I want you to stay a secret, you're too good for the whole world.
you never disappoint. you’ve helped me keep pushing and i wouldn’t be alive w out you.
I've loved everything you've ever made but this one is extra special
Been listening since 2015 and it‘s been a wild ride from the old NCS to this. I love the evolution of your music and I will support you no matter what kind of path you‘re choosing. Keep up the quality Jonathan
this song marked the sunset of my first relationship. soon we would break up. but memories are still alive because of the song
Got some 909 vibes here! EDEN never makes a mediocre song! All of them are so deep and so real!! We love you EDEN amazing!!! 💙💙
summer EDEN is the best vibe :D
since you're answering questions: are there ways your place in the world has influenced the new record? I know you've said you're most comfortable in crosscultural spaces; is there going to be a reflection of that type of intersection in what's coming?
love you and your work you're doing incredible things
yes. i honestly feel reborn in ways. i cant tell you how energised i am by whats coming out and what im working on.
@@iameden I can't wait to see it!
This man makes me feel his pain..
Glad your back. ready for the rest ❤️
Eden dope as always my newborn boy will have Eden as his middle name because me and my girl are both big fans🔥🔥🔥👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 also love how you officially released this song please do amnesia next as always we will always support much love🔥
I love all about this song, so magical.
The video is a masterpiece aswell.
sorry for bad english.
Eden is his own genre
i love you so much
Love the work you’re putting into your music! Keep it up EDEN ✨
listening this masterpiece with headphones is one of the best things in the world. i'm so proud of yooou!
Eden makes my 2022 so much better
Man this is music like real music.
idk what it is, no matter the song, i always fall in love if its by EDEN
At first I found this doing ehh. Now I'm coming back to listen to it just to appreciate the beauty of the song. No distractions, just musical bliss
Same bruh
This was one of the ones i was looking forward to the most. I've listened to the unreleased version so much. That one still has its merits, I wouldn't be able to choose between either version
Thank you for still being here
Obviamente no seré el único que ha notado su voz más aguda, aún así, la canción está demasiado buena
Que grande EdenGOD
sólo subió ligeramente el pitch, a mí no me gustó para ser honesto.
XD pensé que era otro men cantando
A mí me gustó pero, no tanto como la interpretación en vivo de su concierto, cuánto la gente empezó a gritar. Uff edensupergod
Yo interpreto la voz más aguda como una forma de representar a su yo del pasado, más joven. Lo cual tiene sentido con el tema de la canción.
@@JesLop es una clara opción, pero lo veo muy rebuscado
es simplemente eden queriendo innovar de alguna forma
The old lady is the girl with green shirt. The man with the mustache is her old lover, the lover she had when she was young, quite possibly her first love. The relationship ended up breaking apart for reasons unknown, although the memories and quite possibly the feelings are still there. There is a scene where both the young girl and man stare off out their balcony into the city. The city represents the future. The old lady has moved on into the city (occupying herself with her laptop and other things, like work or something) while the man sits in a plastic chair staring into the ocean which stretches for what seems like infinity. The young girl sleeping in the car with both doors open and no one driving indicates she is either dreaming of the past, or reminiscing on the past. She wakes up from this dream when she falls out of the car and wakes up on the floor, which shows a plastic chair turned over. The old lady, although thinking she moved on, still invites her younger self into her life to reminisce on old times, but the bad part of this is shown when it depicts the man on the ground with many chairs around him. the memories of him reoccur over and over when the old lady invites her younger self into her life, which I’m sure makes the old lady miss this time in her life. This is my personal interpretation of the music video. Love you Eden
Actually, I’m quite positive it makes the old lady miss this time in her life, because there is a scene of her dancing with her hands, much like the young couple does together!
Also, I believe the old lady inviting her young self, who dreams of her old lover, could also represent getting really deep and lost in thoughts of the past. It’s like the old lady is reminiscing on her past self, and her past self is reminiscing on her past relationship…?
So glad eden is still putting music out there, i still get happy!
my heart sparked listening ti this.
Baby, yeah
Baby (ooh)
Baby, baby
Nineteen (baby)
Inverted baby
Bright blue sky scenes
Obscura in my bedroom (baby)
Lying on the floor we had sometimes (that's my baby)
Bad ideas
Soft-spoken music to my ears (ayy)
Spending my money
I wish I had spent time (I'm not quite sure what went wrong)
But no our legacy sheets
Can't bring me sweet dreams
How strange is it when ours is lost in them?
I said whenever you called I'd be there (baby)
I hope you never take advice from your friends
Crammed in to the back seat of my first car
That I drove too fast
Running from the thought I
Know you don't get it when I say I been balling
It's all bless
You couldn't stop crying I couldn't cry at all
How can I dance myself clean?
These rooms just dirty my soles (easy)
Slowly my friends turned to places
I can't be everywhere at once
I watched some friends turn to places
Now it's just a one way convo
Ooh
Yeah
Until you're not afraid of going
I'll be right here on your arm
And when it's not my choice in staying
I'll go
I know our legacy sheets
Can't bring me sweet dreams
How strange is it when ours is lost in them?
I said whenever you called I'd be there
I hope you never take advice from your friends
Crammed in to the back seat of my first car
That I drove too fast
Running from the thought I
Know you don't get it when I tell you I'm balling
Balling
We were just kids
You couldn't stop crying I couldn't cry at all (ooh)
How can I da-dance myself clean?
These rooms just dirty my soles
Slowly my friends turned to places
And I can't be everywhere at once
I watched some friends turn to places
Now it's just a one way convo
Ooh
Ooh
(Rest easy)

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR MUSIC GROW EVEN MORE :)
