Imagine the smell of burnt marshmallows, a beautiful night sky, a forest, friends with you and a campfire to gather around while this plays in the background. That's an experience to dream of yet there you are, it's unbelievable.
so glad i could have a campfire with my friends while lockdown rules were looser in november except i couldn't eat marshmallows cause they have gelloutine :'(
@@kawai_weebster hmm spotify is saying that the ep released in 2013 (hence, why i said 7 years late), but google is saying it came out in 2011. so now i'm even more confused
I remember when I first listened to this song..back in 2016 around november. I had major depression and I constantly cried. Everyone would always judge me and find the smallest things to criticize me on. Luckly I found this beautifuly made album that always put me in a better mood and took my mind off of everything bad in my life. I’d come home from school after being picked on and listen to this as I did my work, I’d listen to this in the car when my parents would always fight, I’d listen to this when my family would judge me, i’d listen to this while crying...this has helped me so much. Thank you for reading 📖
thank you for sharing this.. it helped me today.. in the midst of a pandemic and a serious low that I'm going through with the people I'm stuck with who don't get me and blame me for being the way I am.. I've got bipolar disorder and I'm struggling..so listening to your story... I could relate to this.. and I know I'm not alone..
I identify with this. Not this song per se, but some of The Paper Kites' other songs have really been a healing for me. Masterpieces really. We can get through these turbulent periods in our lives.
The first song has a very special place in my heart, I was on a trip with my school to France, it was night-time and I was listening to woodland, what a great felling. On that trip I made new friends whom I'm very grateful to have made, experienced new things and had a lot of fun. This song is special.
i remember just over a year ago, crying to featherstone, stuck in my childhood home, experiencing abuse and reoccurring trauma, and promising myself that i would listen to it again when i got out, when i got to the coastline and now im here
POV: You wander through a beautiful forest, full of birds chirping, and sunshine. Small squirrels scuttle on trees, almost like they're playing tag. You see your dog, wagging their tail while padding next to you. Feeling joyed, you sprint through the forest path, scaring away baby sparrows. The trees looked so green, the undergrowth so lush-like. Seeing an apple tree up ahead next to the dusty trail, you run up to it, picking the most reddest, juiciest looking fruit. You take a bite, feeling the richness of the forest in your mouth, slowly crunching. You snap a piece, and give it to Cinders, the dog. Cinders happily munches on the treat, licking her jaws. You pick a few more apples, filling a small basket. Energized, you beckon for the dog to follow, and walk onto the path once more. Bursting out of the woods, you find you and Cinders in a flowery meadow. The tall green grass mixed with colorful blossoms welcome you, and you gaze at the field in awe. You find yourself walking forward, Cinders trailing after you, until you reach a small hill littered with daisies. On top of the hill, there is a majestic willow tree, its branches and leaves almost reaching the ground. You settle down under the willow tree. It is actually kind of bright under, unlike what you expected. You hug your dog closer, taking out a small picnic carpet. Sitting on it, you begin to take out a few apples, slowly petting Cinders' head. An orange-yellow filter of light quietly creeps into the gaps of the willow leaves. The sun is setting, you think, rising up to your feet with your dog. You duck out, your eyes immediately dazzled by the various colors hitting them at once. You blink a few times, then your eyes start to get used to it. Your eyes open properly, and you are met with a breathtaking view. You can see shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, blue, and a dash of violet-purple peaking out of the sky. You see a hint of clouds floating around the sun, which was shining brightly, as if it was waving towards the world as it takes its leave for today. Soon, it is dark, the orange light a fading glow on the horizon. You lay down on the roses and tulips, orchids and sunflowers, taking a bite out of a ripe apple. You favor the taste, feeling your thirst quench.
These songs weigh so heavy on my heart. They make me so nostalgic about times that never happened. I miss the world. The song "Bloom" has always signified the ending of my childhood. I miss it all.
I can't believe Bloom was a Bonus. It itself could be a Hit. For it to just be a bonus onto and album just shows the quality, integrity and absolute beauty that your music has.
Reading these comments, seems like this album is a healer. It found me during one of the worst periods of my life. It made a rough time sweet, and now I can visit my old self by listening here. Maybe part of what was so healing about this album is that older me always sends love to younger me when I hear it.
Are you familiar with Guccihighwaters? If not def check him out! I seriously attribute his music to my survival and sanity! Hope you love him as much as I 😊😊😊
This album really helped me dealing with loss of interest due to major depressive disorder and psychosis. When I felt nothing because of the medication I'd come back to this. It evokes something...forest and mulch, sunrises over foggy hills, camping, rainy days and love
There's something so incredible about screaming out completely honest in the CZcams comments of a good song. Theres no hiding it's just getting what's on your chest off of it and not expecting a response. Love you all, hope it works out.
I stumbled upon this because i was having trouble sleeping and I was looking for a low key vibe album. In short I’m obsessed now. This is absolutely perfect to fall asleep to. Not because it’s boring but because it’s comforting and puts my mind at peace. I can see me one day in the nursery singing some of these songs to my kids.
Featherstone especially reminds me of the innocence of childhood. My kids are 9 & 10 and I can listen to this and always picture them running to their Mother or feeding squirrels. It reminds me of Frost on Grass at Sunrise.
I just stumbled on these guys about 2 months ago.......beautiful. I actually went to school in woodland, ca.....sooooooooo I had to check it out. So happy I did!!! Great sound and great song writing, vocals and arrangements. When you get older you miss these things but its nice to discover them no matter how late you are to the game. That is why we record music, people will discover it a 100 years from now.
reading these comments... my god. i graduated high school when this album came out and i still remember "we're all just searching for something bigger than we're all able to find" was in my description for everything. this album absolutely fuels a lot of my memories as a teenager. my fiance and i have been together since high school... and i still remember the first time we did acid together junior year. i had a giant speaker i would bring around with me everywhere i went... and we went to this abandoned golf course at 4 in the morning to see the sunrise... and listened to this ep, along with the album dive by tycho, and (of course) hurry up, were dreaming by m83. we laughed and cried and obviously we had, and continue to have the most insane connection after that night. i would walk home from the bus stop and listen to this on my ipod touch dude... like it's so insane to think it's been 10 years. mortal boy king will always be my favorite... listening to that when i was 17 with that youthful exuberance, whole life ahead of me feeling was also a highlight of my younger years. paper kites have shaped me to who i am today... they are true artists, still releasing the same quality music to this day. i'm sure you know how many people you impacted. thank you.
I don't know how I get here. I was playing some music and the randomness of CZcams autoplay brought me here. When I notice that i haven't heard this before and the last songs have been nice I was half the video. I'm very grateful today.
I can't help it but to just be in awe with the beauty that reflects a song like "Bloom". For me,it defines "saving the best for last". Such poetry,such harmony. 😍😍❤️❤️
literal life tip: listen to this while I Miss My Cafe is open. You will feel like you're in a small cafe while peaceful indie music plays in the background. Life changing.
[Verse 1] Run, run, don't trail behind keep moving The beasts won't stop till we're dead All the scrapes on our knees Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled [Pre-Chorus] Oh we play In autumn days [Chorus] Won't lay down our heads till the day is won Won't stop running till we reach the sun Chasing all the things that are keeping us young We won't stop running till we reach the sun [Verse 2] Oh we're building a home With the mud and the stones and the branches we find We're all just searching for something Bigger than we're all able to find [Pre-Chorus] Oh we play In autumn days [Chorus] Won't lay down our heads till the day is won Won't stop running till we reach the sun Chasing all the things that are keeping us young We won't stop running till we reach the sun [Bridge] We are all creatures of the sunlight We are all children of the day We are just chasing what we can't ever get, ever have [Chorus] Won't lay down our heads till the day is won Won't stop running till we reach the sun Chasing all the things that are keeping us young We won't stop running till we reach the sun [Outro] All the scrapes on our knees Will tell you where we’ve been, where we have bled
Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart When you go, what you leave is a work of art On my chest, on my heart She went out to the haze in the morning grace She went out and got lost in a tall hedge maze Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Why'd you leave this place? On my heart, on my face And my love is yours but your love's not mine So I'll go but we know I'll see you down the line And we'll hate what we've lost but we'll love what we find And I'm feeling fine, we've made it to the coastline Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Past all the signs of the slow decline Live like your love wasn't meant for mine Now you've gone, now you've gone to a different life To a lonely side Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart When you go, what you leave is a work of art On my chest, on my heart And my love is yours but your love's not mine So I'll go, but we know I'll see you down the line And we'll hate what we've lost but we'll love what we find And oh, I'm feeling fine, we've made it to the coastline Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
You're free A lover sinking in the sea And we Will let the water fill our lungs And sleep Love, we go down, we go down Breathe, it's over now, over now We can love, we can love We can love, we can love And the birds will sing our song in halcyon You're free Oh lover's coming home to me We sink, we'll pull our bodies into the deep Love, we go down, we go down Breathe, it's over now, over now We can love, we can love We can love, we can love And the birds will sing our song in halcyon And the birds will sing our song The birds will all sing out The birds will all sing out And the birds will sing our song, out And the birds will all sing out We can love, we can love We can love, we can love And the birds will sing our song in halcyon
These guys are brand new to me, and I feel so lucky. Somehow, in only a few listens, they just crawled under my skin. Just a wonderful sound that just makes you feel warm, and accepted.
Song 1: You’re seven year old again, running in the green grass with your friend on a sunny day Nothing around you except for the flowers and the sky up above !
I was so close to ending my life today. But this autoplayed, and I remembered how much the first song made me happy when I was younger. Thank you Maybe not today then.
Hey, we’re in this together so not today or tomorrow ....... CZcams stranger I would like to know if your ride or die with me ......... what do you have to lose by saying yes ?
A quote that got me through some really dark times... "If today gets difficult, remember the smell of coffee, the way sunlight bounces off a window, the sound of your favorite person’s laugh, the feeling when a song you love comes on, the color of the sky at dusk, and that we are here to take care of each other." -- Nanea Hoffman You are loved. Take care.
How about, maybe never? I know It's hard, I'm struggling mentally. But suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it to somebody else. Please talk with someone if you need it. Maybe you think that no one will be sad If you die, well I will. Please stay alive.
This is just like the feeling of the beginning of fall- just chilly enough for a hoodie, face warned by the sun through a window with your eyes closed❤️🌞😌
Finallyyy saw this again! Good lord! Rainy days of pandemic 2021, writing on my little diary. I miss this playlist so much. The memories are coming back, love it.
Who else listen to this and thinks of romance movies where their running around/driving and having so much fun..... then you realize you watch movies way to much and become sad.
Everything's going the wrong way in my life these days. I'm affraid to dive in this hell again. I tried to reach for help last year, nothing's changed. I tried to manage it by myself but I'm only human. I'm crying everyday like I used to some months ago, like I used to last year. I want my problems to disapear, I want them to make me strong and complete my storyline, like a main character. And these songs make me feel like the main character, so they give me hope...The hope that one day, I'll find the strength to beat my inner demons and become a better version of myself, not the sad and useless one. Edit : I'm really thankful for each one of you guys, I know that we don't really know each other, but that's what brings magic in those interactions, I make the promise to get better, to fight to finally see a psychologist, to talk about my problems. And I know from the bottom of my heart that you'll do the same. I kindly love all of you, kind strangers, you are loved, appreciated, you, beautiful souls. Many hugs and thoughts from a stranger, lost somewhere in France.
I just wanted to let you know that you are not useless, and that you will learn how to fight your inner demons. I believe in you, but you have to believe in yourself too. Having to go through your own hell proves that you are strong enough already, so keep wanting and keep pushing. You are worth more than you will ever know. With love, a friendly stranger
Brother, I'm in a shit time in my life too. Everything has been falling apart for years and its finally getting to the very bottom, but I will make you a promise if you make me one. I'll keep fighting through it every single day as long as you do. We may not know each other but we are all connected, keep fighting because I believe in you. We've got this, and nothing will change that.
I have been hunting for your song "Featherstone" for 4 years. I just remembered the tune but no lyrics so couldn't search. Stumbled across it today! Made my week! Thanks for the beautiful song!
Its been a while since I've listened to this band. I used to listen to the Willow Tree March in particular when I was in middle school, hit repeat over and over again till I came across other artists and just lost myself into the music. There's a lot thats changed from my life ever since then, and this whole album just took me through all the memories in between. This pandemic sucks and there were so many people that I lost along the way. Make sure you let your loved ones know how much you appreciate them and how glad you are for them to be in your life. I love you ❤ and I hope life works out well for all of us x
This playlist had made me so happy for no reason. The feeling of being so free running in a garden is engraved in my mind because of you. This playlist has given me the enegry to wake up tommorow and say everything is gonna to be okay and you have nothing to worry about anymore . Its vibes has taught me that i just need to slow down and stop moving so fast and also to stop overthinking about things that wont matter in a few years and even if i fail i can always try agian next time. I want to thank you for making me so happy for the first time in a long time.
I wish I would've found this album sooner. I was listening to and Indie playlist I made and I randomly scrolled across this video and I clicked on it cause the thumbnail looked really cool. I found instant bliss as soon as the songs started to play and I am so grateful for the times that this music made me feel happy when I thought feeling happiness wasn't possible. Thank you Paper Kites!
What a beautiful album! Creative songwriting, intriguing lyrics and haunting melodies with the touching harmonies and powerful voices. So lyrical and enchanting and exciting. Incredible musicianship. Thank you for being the vessels to bring this music into being.🙏❤️🤟 #thepaperkites
Discovering you and listening to your songs while healing from a heartache. Your songs are helping me to cope. Thank you very much! Please continue your music. :)
I was so happy when I found this 4 years ago.. I was deeply in love with a guy that didn't want me. And i used to believe that I'll never find someone to love again. 4 years later met my ex who broke my heart again. But The Paper Kites are always here for me. Thank you.
Oh, girl, I wish everything is getting better for you Some day you'll find someone special, and, believe me, there's nothing as beautiful as singing "Bloom" along with your partner Everything will get better for ya' btw, "Eleanor Rigby" is such a great reference lol
2022 at 5:46 am Sunday: I just found this band and what a relaxed style of music 🎶. Very soft, tender and cool that make us think about so many things past, and present of our life. To believe in love after a big storm in our life that change our life for ever. To believe in God who always was there for us. To believe that the human race still is good and a master piece of the Creator. Thanks you The paper kites!!!!
I don't think Featherstone is meant this way, but I see it from the POV as a parent. I get to pour my love into someone who is entitled to their own life, their own future, and will not return my love back in kind (and can't ... it's different). So I will love her and drive her away one day (school? new home?), and instead of being just sad, it's a beautiful thing. It means she GETS to move forward on her dreams and future. I love it so much. My daughter is only 5 now, but I think this is the way it is supposed to go. My future was choosing to have her and loving her with my whole soul. And her future and love is hers to create and give as she wishes. And I want that for her, whatever it is. I truly do. And my love will continue on until the end of time.
I hope to love in Hedmarl, Norway one day. This kind of music is my motivation to get the hell out of this place and go on my personal adventure. Through the trees, into the mountains, over the stream. For what I dream!
i’m still listening to this album whenever i’m overwhelmed and need to calm down even now crying in the school bathroom i can bast this in my ears and feel this sigh of relief
June 2024 Beautiful Mortal Boy King makes me realize how my past is much longer than my future. I tear up every time I listen to it. My husband has Alzheimer's, so parts of him are gone. From Detroit, just truth.
I've lived in the city all my life but I've always wanted to live in the countryside, it's this deep pull that I've always felt towards open fields and clear skies. I remember I once stayed in a house just beside a lake and I went out everyday with my friends. It felt like true freedom, we'd swim and play in lake, run (though there wasn't much room) around the grass. In the afternoons we'd work on a big puzzle together while some others cooked dinner and then we'd roast marshmellows by a fire until way after the sun set, sharing stories, singing songs and reading excerpts from books. This album captures that feeling perfectly. I miss it :(
Imagine the smell of burnt marshmallows, a beautiful night sky, a forest, friends with you and a campfire to gather around while this plays in the background. That's an experience to dream of yet there you are, it's unbelievable.
I'm writing a book about this imaginations, because I see it that way too. This album is a unoficcial soundtrack 😂
Beautiful :)
so glad i could have a campfire with my friends while lockdown rules were looser in november
except i couldn't eat marshmallows cause they have gelloutine :'(
In the Meanwhile I guess I’ll stick to my nightmares 😓

It's me in this moment. ✨
Sounds dreamy, sighs from relief, hella a vibe indeed!
currently having an existential crisis with this playing in the background. I couldn't have asked for a better theme.

music is like that isnt it :)
well, the song "Bloom" represents the beginning of my true childhood.
This sounds like what I wish my teenage years were like. What I hoped these years would be like.
I can't believe Bloom was a Bonus. It itself could be a Hit. For it to just be a bonus onto and album just shows the quality, integrity and absolute beauty that your music has.
Woodland is such a basic, simple title but is so fitting for Paper Kites and is somehow comforting.
Listening to this at 4am watching the sunrise. The most peaceful I've felt in quite some time.

This album kept me alive from 2014-2016! I'm in a better place now, but I still have vivid, bittersweet memories of crying to it :)
@leppydoptera Glad to hear you made it through. Stay strong ❤️
This album is pure bliss. Just joy in nature, unconditional love, it really is like a warm blanket

Run, run, don't trail behind keep moving
The beasts won't stop till we're dead
All the scrapes on our knees
Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh we play
In autumn days

Won't lay down our heads till the day is won
Won't stop running till we reach the sun
Chasing all the things that are keeping us young
We won't stop running till we reach the sun
[Verse 2]
Oh we're building a home
With the mud and the stones and the branches we find
We're all just searching for something
Bigger than we're all able to find
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh we play
In autumn days
[Chorus]
Won't lay down our heads till the day is won
Won't stop running till we reach the sun
Chasing all the things that are keeping us young
We won't stop running till we reach the sun
[Bridge]
We are all creatures of the sunlight
We are all children of the day
We are just chasing what we can't ever get, ever have
[Chorus]
Won't lay down our heads till the day is won
Won't stop running till we reach the sun
Chasing all the things that are keeping us young
We won't stop running till we reach the sun
[Outro]
All the scrapes on our knees
Will tell you where we’ve been, where we have bled
Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart
Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart
When you go, what you leave is a work of art
On my chest, on my heart
She went out to the haze in the morning grace
She went out and got lost in a tall hedge maze
Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Why'd you leave this place?
On my heart, on my face
And my love is yours but your love's not mine
So I'll go but we know I'll see you down the line
And we'll hate what we've lost but we'll love what we find
And I'm feeling fine, we've made it to the coastline
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Past all the signs of the slow decline
Live like your love wasn't meant for mine
Now you've gone, now you've gone to a different life
To a lonely side
Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart
Wake up to the sound of your fleeting heart
When you go, what you leave is a work of art
On my chest, on my heart
And my love is yours but your love's not mine
So I'll go, but we know I'll see you down the line
And we'll hate what we've lost but we'll love what we find
And oh, I'm feeling fine, we've made it to the coastline
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh ooh
You're free
A lover sinking in the sea
And we
Will let the water fill our lungs
And sleep
Love, we go down, we go down
Breathe, it's over now, over now
We can love, we can love
We can love, we can love
And the birds will sing our song in halcyon
You're free
Oh lover's coming home to me
We sink, we'll pull our bodies into the deep
Love, we go down, we go down
Breathe, it's over now, over now
We can love, we can love
We can love, we can love
And the birds will sing our song in halcyon
And the birds will sing our song
The birds will all sing out
The birds will all sing out
And the birds will sing our song, out
And the birds will all sing out
We can love, we can love
We can love, we can love
And the birds will sing our song in halcyon
The perfect soundtrack for your life when you finally made it out to a nicer inner place.
don't understand how the entire album could be this mesmerizing
These guys are brand new to me, and I feel so lucky. Somehow, in only a few listens, they just crawled under my skin. Just a wonderful sound that just makes you feel warm, and accepted.
It's never to late to pick up on a tune that has years behind it. If you found it and it works for your heart, better now than never.✌️
Song 1:
You’re seven year old again, running in the green grass with your friend on a sunny day
Nothing around you except for the flowers and the sky up above !
And your running into the sun.🤍😊
You can never go wrong with The Paper Kites. They are my go-to band!
“And we hate what we’ve lost but love what we’ve found”
Which song has this line?
@@MHR_47 Featherstone :))
Glad to find this gem.
Literally the best music to listen to while riding a bike on a sunny afternoon. Be safe tho!
I was so close to ending my life today. But this autoplayed, and I remembered how much the first song made me happy when I was younger. Thank you
Maybe not today then.
Hey, we’re in this together so not today or tomorrow ....... CZcams stranger I would like to know if your ride or die with me ......... what do you have to lose by saying yes ?
A quote that got me through some really dark times...
"If today gets difficult, remember the smell of coffee, the way sunlight bounces off a window, the sound of your favorite person’s laugh, the feeling when a song you love comes on, the color of the sky at dusk, and that we are here to take care of each other." -- Nanea Hoffman
You are loved. Take care.
How about, maybe never? I know It's hard, I'm struggling mentally. But suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it to somebody else. Please talk with someone if you need it. Maybe you think that no one will be sad If you die, well I will. Please stay alive.
My favourite album of all times- it always gives me a boast of serotonin when I need it the most- it's an escape
This brings me back to summer of 2015
This is just like the feeling of the beginning of fall- just chilly enough for a hoodie, face warned by the sun through a window with your eyes closed❤️🌞😌
I'm in love with this country, forest, peaceful vibe T^T
Finallyyy saw this again! Good lord! Rainy days of pandemic 2021, writing on my little diary. I miss this playlist so much. The memories are coming back, love it.
This is an equivalent of going camping with your friends or trekking out the woods.
very likely that is the exact vibe they were going for
Who else listen to this and thinks of romance movies where their running around/driving and having so much fun..... then you realize you watch movies way to much and become sad.
I stumbled across this on accident and couldn't be happier
Same, me right now
same...and we stumbled on this beauty just yesterday!!
same :))))
Me too. Good music is a blessing
Everything's going the wrong way in my life these days. I'm affraid to dive in this hell again. I tried to reach for help last year, nothing's changed. I tried to manage it by myself but I'm only human. I'm crying everyday like I used to some months ago, like I used to last year. I want my problems to disapear, I want them to make me strong and complete my storyline, like a main character. And these songs make me feel like the main character, so they give me hope...The hope that one day, I'll find the strength to beat my inner demons and become a better version of myself, not the sad and useless one.
Edit : I'm really thankful for each one of you guys, I know that we don't really know each other, but that's what brings magic in those interactions, I make the promise to get better, to fight to finally see a psychologist, to talk about my problems. And I know from the bottom of my heart that you'll do the same. I kindly love all of you, kind strangers, you are loved, appreciated, you, beautiful souls. Many hugs and thoughts from a stranger, lost somewhere in France.
You are wonderful and loved 🤍🤍🤍
U will bro
I just wanted to let you know that you are not useless, and that you will learn how to fight your inner demons. I believe in you, but you have to believe in yourself too. Having to go through your own hell proves that you are strong enough already, so keep wanting and keep pushing. You are worth more than you will ever know. With love, a friendly stranger
Brother, I'm in a shit time in my life too. Everything has been falling apart for years and its finally getting to the very bottom, but I will make you a promise if you make me one. I'll keep fighting through it every single day as long as you do. We may not know each other but we are all connected, keep fighting because I believe in you. We've got this, and nothing will change that.
Get a psychologist, this aint' the place.... The internet does not replace real human connections.
Even after 4 years this is the best thing I’ve ever heard
Im brand new to this old album and yet these songs make me nostalgic over something that never happened. 👌💖
I have been hunting for your song "Featherstone" for 4 years. I just remembered the tune but no lyrics so couldn't search. Stumbled across it today! Made my week! Thanks for the beautiful song!
Willow Tree March has always been my favorite ❤️
Mortal Boy King will now forever remind me of a certain pig faced blood god.
Rest in peace Techno.
This music puts me in a good mood no matter how bad the day I'm having.
Who's still jamming in 2020?
💯
🙋♂️
Still here in September.😊
Still here in Sept. 😊
vibess
Will always be one of my favorite albums of ALL TIME
Its been a while since I've listened to this band. I used to listen to the Willow Tree March in particular when I was in middle school, hit repeat over and over again till I came across other artists and just lost myself into the music. There's a lot thats changed from my life ever since then, and this whole album just took me through all the memories in between.
This pandemic sucks and there were so many people that I lost along the way. Make sure you let your loved ones know how much you appreciate them and how glad you are for them to be in your life. I love you ❤ and I hope life works out well for all of us x
This playlist had made me so happy for no reason. The feeling of being so free running in a garden is engraved in my mind because of you. This playlist has given me the enegry to wake up tommorow and say everything is gonna to be okay and you have nothing to worry about anymore . Its vibes has taught me that i just need to slow down and stop moving so fast and also to stop overthinking about things that wont matter in a few years and even if i fail i can always try agian next time. I want to thank you for making me so happy for the first time in a long time.
I wish I would've found this album sooner. I was listening to and Indie playlist I made and I randomly scrolled across this video and I clicked on it cause the thumbnail looked really cool. I found instant bliss as soon as the songs started to play and I am so grateful for the times that this music made me feel happy when I thought feeling happiness wasn't possible. Thank you Paper Kites!
would you mind sharing the Playlist!?
First time listening and I’m already in love
I can smell some forest after summer rain when listening Bloom
What a beautiful album! Creative songwriting, intriguing lyrics and haunting melodies with the touching harmonies and powerful voices. So lyrical and enchanting and exciting. Incredible musicianship. Thank you for being the vessels to bring this music into being.🙏❤️🤟 #thepaperkites
Discovering you and listening to your songs while healing from a heartache. Your songs are helping me to cope. Thank you very much! Please continue your music. :)
I was so happy when I found this 4 years ago.. I was deeply in love with a guy that didn't want me. And i used to believe that I'll never find someone to love again. 4 years later met my ex who broke my heart again. But The Paper Kites are always here for me. Thank you.
Oh, girl, I wish everything is getting better for you
Some day you'll find someone special, and, believe me, there's nothing as beautiful as singing "Bloom" along with your partner
Everything will get better for ya'
btw, "Eleanor Rigby" is such a great reference lol
Sigh I dont usually respond but trust me that *ONE* is out there for you. Waiting, hoping to love on you the right way.
i regret not having discovered this earlier. it's a masterpiece. you don't hear music that impacts your emotions often, but this. wow.
this album is fire
classic
hope all their albums has the same dreamy and lyrical melodic friendly like this
2022 at 5:46 am Sunday: I just found this band
and what a relaxed style of music 🎶. Very soft, tender and cool that make us think about so many things past, and present of our life. To believe in love after a big storm in our life that change our life for ever. To believe in God who always was there for us. To believe that the human race still is good and a master piece of the Creator. Thanks you The paper kites!!!!
I don't think Featherstone is meant this way, but I see it from the POV as a parent. I get to pour my love into someone who is entitled to their own life, their own future, and will not return my love back in kind (and can't ... it's different). So I will love her and drive her away one day (school? new home?), and instead of being just sad, it's a beautiful thing. It means she GETS to move forward on her dreams and future. I love it so much. My daughter is only 5 now, but I think this is the way it is supposed to go. My future was choosing to have her and loving her with my whole soul. And her future and love is hers to create and give as she wishes. And I want that for her, whatever it is. I truly do. And my love will continue on until the end of time.
this album is my mood
I hope to love in Hedmarl, Norway one day. This kind of music is my motivation to get the hell out of this place and go on my personal adventure. Through the trees, into the mountains, over the stream. For what I dream!
I found this when searching for willow trees. What a pleasant surprise…
POV: You came back after 7 years, and it stills makes you smile the Willow three march song
this is what i listen to whenever i shutoff my phone and relax its so happy so many diffrent emotions and feelings that get spread all over my body
🌞❣️✨
i’m still listening to this album whenever i’m overwhelmed and need to calm down even now crying in the school bathroom i can bast this in my ears and feel this sigh of relief
Even now 3 years later this is my favorite album and will always be
16 year old me listening to this masterpiece back in like 2011 on the moon with joy...
So many wonderful songs and writers, so little time
Nanci Griffith is worth adding to your list :)
Haha ok I have to know what’s with the name @the fantastic adventures of Bib Ross and hitler
I love this so much
This is my first time getting obsessed with an album and just listening to it on repeat over and over.
I'm glad I finally found this maasterpice. The songs made me fell really confortable and calm in a hell of week. Thank you!
I know all these songs by heart. Can't believe it's been ten years. I love the way they layer sounds in their music.
Right this truly bring memories and the way they layer sounds is just beyond this world 😆
Coming back and finding this masterpiece in one of my old playlist truly brings joy into my heart
One of my guilty pleasures but I also love it because this album lulled my son to sleep
June 2024 Beautiful Mortal Boy King makes me realize how my past is much longer than my future. I tear up every time I listen to it. My husband has Alzheimer's, so parts of him are gone. From Detroit, just truth.
who's still Jammin on 2021? :O
holy shit almost forgot its 2021.. xD
Yaaaas
Man! these song are incredible!!! it makes me go out and drive through the highway and reach the beach right on the dawn
is just that... i can't believe how good is this album omg
I've lived in the city all my life but I've always wanted to live in the countryside, it's this deep pull that I've always felt towards open fields and clear skies. I remember I once stayed in a house just beside a lake and I went out everyday with my friends. It felt like true freedom, we'd swim and play in lake, run (though there wasn't much room) around the grass. In the afternoons we'd work on a big puzzle together while some others cooked dinner and then we'd roast marshmellows by a fire until way after the sun set, sharing stories, singing songs and reading excerpts from books. This album captures that feeling perfectly. I miss it :(
this playlist with these songs makes me immagining my futurelife 🌈🌍💗 it makes me happy🌬
I imagine this would be lovely to fall asleep to on low volume 😊
the way 'Woodland' has me in a chokehold!!!!!!
Its about time! Ive been a fan of theirs for 5 years and they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Its hard not to feel special!
Best for last. Bloom is beautiful as hell
Right
"Bloom" is my favourite ❤❤
Though I do prefer Paper Kites' newer stuffs, but this EP is phenomenal and defined indie folk as a genre.
this is such a masterpiece and a beautiful work of art, its so sad this doesn’t have as many views as it should. definitely one of my favorite songs💗
Clicking on this video was the best decision I've made in a long time
always putting this EP at work, great mood for the customers !!
Glad I found these guys !! My Paper Kites :)
This album is my 2021 jam!
