They say you die three times. The first is your actual death. The second is the last time anyone actually sees you before you are buried. The third is the last time anyone utters your name.
After the final minute of silence, the patient wakes up and hears the following words. "Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush. Same as us, and that thief over there."
I know this is about dementia, but makes me feel for my friend who commited suicide yesterday. I like to think that this symbolizes his suffering ending. Rest in peace friend.
@Justin there's 2 types of people "this is unrelated to the video and the comment, please move your self promos to r/smallyoutubers" "go fuck yourself"
The most heartbreaking part is that creepy distorted noise is supposed to be singing..and the listener just can't remember how to piece together the sound of voices. Their brain is almost gone.
This piece represents the final memory before you and everything you loved vanishes before your very eyes as you drift ever deeper into the sorrowful void, unable to remember yourself your family or anything you ever loved before you finally take your last breathe and you feel nothing, no pain, no sorrow, no record scratches, just silence.
It’s weird honestly, how this can do that although it’s heavily edited old music re vamped to make this atmosphere. Truly crazy what sound and visuals can do
My grandmother spent her last 6 years in a home. Near the end, she had a terrible fall, and became non vocal. It was a tough couple weeks, seeing the fear and anxiety in her eyes as she was unable to speak. The last night, we knew she was fading. My aunt was flying in from California to see her while there was still time. We kept telling her that all night, and when my aunt called from the airport and said she was close, we told her. She started humming "You Are My Sunshine." She never spoke, but it was the clearest form of communication she'd be able to make for months. She wasn't conscious anymore when my aunt made it, but she hung on long enough, and squeezed our hands before the end. Terminal lucidity is terrifying and beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.
This is the probably the most tragic song I've ever heard. A lot of people seem to interpret is as the character being already dead and being welcomed by a choir of angels. But I've always thought of it as a final drop of lucidity against all odds (terminal lucidity). This is because there is a clear change between the rest of the song and what follows after that needle drop sound. What comes first is that 'fog' which is mostly ambient noise, and what follows is a return to the staticy memories we came to associate with lucidity in parts 1-3. This person is experiencing their very last memory in full, with no skips, jumps or alterations besides the heart-wrenching static. It finishes, and abruptly ends (death). To me the scariest part about this album is that it's a reminder not that we die, but that we decay.
How I see it is a grim reminder to hold your past and your sense of self every dearly and to be grateful of this life because tbh if this were happening to me I'd gladly be decaying knowing that I did the best with what I had
this is extremely plausable as you can actually hear what sounds like some muffled crying. probably your family around you as they think you are already gone... too bad you probably forgot them a year ago so its just noise to you now
You don’t suddenly die. You decay. That’s the scariest part. Years of decline and losing everything that you were made of for your entire life. Think about how much of you memories makes up. Look at objects in your bedroom. Each one has a memory attached. You see the object and you can recall how you got it, each one with a story. Now imagine every item is gone, every event with them. When you are dying from dementia you don’t even have the comfort to say you had a good life. You don’t know who you are. You die with nothing. You worked so hard through your whole life to be happy and as you sit dying in the last moments that you are able to think ever again, you cannot recall them at all. You work for everything but in the end you die with all of it gone. You die not as yourself but as no one. You will decay slowly and as you die, you are not even yourself. You die long before you give your final breath. And that is what is so scary.
Context: The patient is having a moment of terminal lucidity as the patients final drop of life is squeezed, and is going into the afterlife. Finally, the patient will not suffer. The patient will not forget. The patient will be immortal, remembering their life, remembering the waves, the music. The choir. Finally, enjoying things, remembering the choir. They see the light, that blank canvas won't be blank anymore. It will have colors, many colors. They can read the book, they can take care of the flowers, cut the seaweed, finish the statue, and perfect the sculpture.
My grandmother passed away this last October and she suffered heavily from dementia. There was a very brief moment, maybe about six or seven seconds right at the end where the turmoil on her face cleared, she sat upright in bed, then gave no one in particular the brightest smile we'd seen from her in years. Then she left us. That moment changed my life and stumbling on this album months later has given me a haunting idea of what she might've been going through. I like to think those final seconds were this song, the final moment of clarity, or maybe she was being welcomed to her new home by her husband. I dunno, this turned into rambling, but... It's something to think about, I suppose.
I’ve lost a grandparent to the slow toll of pancreatic cancer caused by exposure to herbicides during the Vietnam War, I’ve lost another from suddenly getting hit by a car while biking. I hope the other two never catch dementia. I’m sorry for your loss.
Premortem lucidity is such a strange thing but cool thing it's like the mind is gone but the soul is still there just for the brief moment has enough strength to say goodbye I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope she's at peace now
Alzheimer's is a testament to the fact that it is much better to die early, with your memories intact, than to watch with your own eyes as they fade away until you forget even the concept of forgetting.
is it truly so bad? I'd like to think of it like a new timer, if ever some way to ease worry of such stubborn people like myself, this is the way I'd love to go, knowing nothing but the faces of those seeing me die, forgetting my place in the world, its... blissful...
"Terminal lucidity, rally before death or end-of-life rally, refers to an unexpected return of mental clarity and memory, or suddenly regained consciousness that occurs in the time shortly before death in patients suffering from severe psychiatric or neurological disorders." "This phenomenon has been noted in patients with schizophrenia, tumors, strokes, meningitis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease."
my aunt before she died wanted everyone to eat with her right before she passed, she said she say her husband fading in and out of her vision like sand and we ate with her and she was as animated as before she got really sick and she even made us laugh right before the next morning where she peacefully died in her sleep
Terminal lucidity is when you regain mental clarity, it usually happens on the day of death. It's like the disease is mocking you in your final moments. Like, your memories slowly fade away, only for them to return the day you die. They were never truly gone.
@@transientparadox sometimes it can last weeks, in a FEW cases it lasted a few months, and they were able to go home- but then one day they wake up not remembering again, and they die VERy soon after. if they are lucky they will die during the lucidity, so they can remember they're family at least while they die.
The music is like someone dying alone. We don’t know this stranger, or the type of life he/she lived, but we just see them stripped down to their purest form in their last hours, and it really feels humbling, but it comes with the thoughts that we may end up dying alone too.
It feels more like he's slipping from his dementia filled life, and into the afterlife. Throughout the song you can hear faint sounds of memories, a dog barking, footsteps, stuff being knocked down. This is the choir to the gates of heaven, trying to remind him. The longer this track went on the larger my smile grew, he was getting a well deserved rest. Rest easy.
in my opinion this is actually one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. i hope I'm doing justice to those suffering by not allowing their essence to be forgotten.
if it did that i would honestly have a heart attack. think about it. as soon as the silence starts, the backwards canvas falls over to reveal wet globs of paint that drip down the sides of the canvas and onto the table...like blood spilling from a wound; a wound in the brain. thats kinda what alzhimers and dementia is, its a gaping hole in the brain, rotting the rest of your mind with the blood (memories) seeping from it.
Isn’t it comforting? No more needed, no more worries, true peace, nothingness eternally.... I would hate to have to deal with this world over and over again.
Today my grandfather died after a long battle with Alzheimer’s, minutes after being told the news all I could think of was to come here, and here I cried.
I don’t see the reaper as a villain, i see him as a lost soul welcoming the new lost souls. As he embraces you when you die, that cold shudder that hits your family isn’t an emotion. Its him letting them know you are ok. He welcomes you with his arms, as you look over your family. You remember them Its too late Death welcomes you. Welcome home Edit: damn
On a happier note. I would say Leyland Kirby has done a fantastic job of giving awareness to this horrible disease. In turn, more progress has been made to combat Dementia. More funding, more research, less agony.
WDYM IT CAME OUT LIKE "On a happier note, this is a good repressentation of the ETERNAL TORMENT AND HORROR OF THIS TERRIFYINGLY OMNIOUS DEPRESSING HORRIBLE CONDITION."
@@Ilikecatsl0l because this representation helps people understand that agony, leading to us helping the people going through it and attempting to prevent it in the future.
@@lilsquidyyy Stage 1 is calming but it still has an uneasy feel to it, really easy for me. Stage 2 sorta had an uncanny valley feel to it, it was like stage one but instead it was more disturbing. Stage 3 is just noises. Stage 4 is where I first cried purely from fear. Stage 5 is where I was just shivering. And stage 6 was where I broke.
My great grand mother was taken by this disease before I was born. And like many sufferers, she apparently became very clear towards the end after many years of being incoherent. My father was with my great grandfather and in a very rough spot in life himself, telling him that he was lost and didn’t know how to go on, that he felt like God had abandoned him. My great grandmother, who until then had for years sat in her rocking chair everyday and hummed nonsense to herself, suddenly stopped and stood up. She walked to him and kneeled beside my father and took his hands and said, “he won’t. He never will.” She then promptly returned to her chair, and within seconds was back to her non responsive mumbling. To this day, my father believes God spoke to him through my great grandmother. Maybe, maybe not. But it’s a clear example of how there’s always a piece of the person still inside the fractured mind of a dementia sufferer. And they have a few strong memories that can sometimes bring them back.
I was depressed enough after listening to the entire thing (even if it was not in one go), reading all the comments makes it worse. To this day I've never got destroyed by a piece of music. Yes, I listened to sad songs before but they usually had some kind of context behind them, like a sad movie or a tv show. This is just one song from the entire album without any context which doesn't even need any sad story behind it to be so powerful.
It's called "terminal lucidity", which is when a dementia or Alzheimer's patient suddenly is much more coherent and remembers their memories due to a wave of energy from their body to the brain which gets the neurons working again, but it only lasts from seconds to days because the neurons and the proteins that they have are decayed due to said Alzheimer's/dementia/amnesia. Either that or God spoke to your great grandmother. May she rest in peace 🙏
This song is supposed to represent your last memory. You're clinging onto it. It's all you have left. The choir are the cries for you to keep holding onto this precious memory. All the other ones you have forgotten include your name, your family, your friends, how to eat, how to speak, how to communicate. Nothing it's all gone. All you have left is how to breathe. You're breathing in an unfamiliar room. The person in front of you claims that they're your close relative, but you don't recognize them at all. Who the fuck is this? Get out get out get out! You are distracted as the choir suddenly stops singing. Your memory has drifted elsewhere. You have nothing. Just empty silence and confusion. You're empty.
It legitimately is supposed to be the last memory, specifically your favorite song. www.crisisprevention.com/Blog/June-2015/Music-Soothes-Last-Moments-for-Father-With-Dementia Music can trigger the most powerful of memories
@@thatnikkakris2339 nothing, imo its more just a gradual decline into extreme confusion and emotions you cant describe. this is too consonant and real after everything else, along with the coughing sounds and the rocky wooden noises, this def sounds like a service at a church. there is no life to cling on to, there is no moment, no final moment of bliss or even a describable emotion, good or bad. its the end, and this song is just the song at the funeral thats ofc my interpretation and its all fine to take it in a diff way.
I wonder how the Caretaker, the person who made this track, doesn't fall into sadness or depression whilst working on this. A track so beautiful yet a horrifying reminder that death will come to us all. In what is seemingly a person's final moments appears, finally, a clear memory. A song piece. The piece soulfully accompanies them after years of fog - no more white noise; nor skips or jumps: clarity. All for nothing as shortly all is taken from them. It ends, the person dies in peace, the song remembered for the easing of their own passing. A minute of silence is given and the track ends. So freaking depressive man...
I don’t think someone who is emotionally okay would start a project like this in the first place. If anything, it’s the mode of expression that got him through something.
Man its crazy how this original sample was literally made with the intent of being private. Nobody besides the original choir and Leyland Kirby has them, and he's lucky to even have two copies. It almost really makes this more the magical, knowing that you won't ever truly hear the original sample unless it gets leaked out or Leyland Kirby releases it. It really, and truly feels like a solid end.
my grandma is currently suffering from severe dementia and she was born in the twenties. listening to this whole album kind of makes me feel like i have a relationship with her again, i understand her confusion more now.
What really gets me is the crackle before the silence. You hear a faint pop followed by total silence, as if the last tiny signal in your brain telling you you're alive finally sizzles out.
Like sirens, screaming at you fall down an endless abyss forgetting their faces. A choir of voices you can faintly remember, but have no words to call upon and no emotions to feel. Forgetting that you exist, that you used to be a thing in the world, but now no longer. Symphonies of ontological torment, a song that you heard your entire life that you can no longer remember. My mother has Alzheimer’s, and I would do anything to stop her existential pain and horror.
Im so sorry man, youre both beautiful souls and she's so lucky to have you. Her memory lives in you, and you too are gonna pass it on. Just please stay strong. A lot of people love you both, blessings ❤
Many people think this final part is sad, I disagree, it feels like a release from all the torment, a final beautiful melody that sets you free from this life
Yeah based on the whole album, its about dementia as you begin to lose grasp on reality. The sudden shift from warped music to an angelic choir is more so a peaceful yet depressing end where death is a more peaceful option than losing memory and sanity
@@zombienoah6408 adding to that, when I listened to the whole thing it felt sudden, like a sudden cut to the final part. I think it's that sudden because of how you can't really tell when you'll die. It's so sudden. One second you're there, the next one you've forgotten how to breathe.
Death is a very funny thing. It leaves us all wondering. Contemplating it's TRUE form. To some, death is an escape. To others, something to fear. An object of their nightmares as their life slowly grinds to a halt. But for me, death is just sleep. A dreamless one at that. Filled with endless peace and quiet. It is a sleep that transports us to the next realm. Will it come as a screech? Or will it take the form of an old friend? It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you finally rest. You sleep. in heavenly peace. as you reconcile with the stars.
It's the scariest thing ever to go from not knowing what you had for breakfast, to not recognizing your loved ones to forgetting your own existence to have life become this, a faint distorted and broken down version of a memory, a song you always used to remember slowly escaping you while you can't get it back, before you realize nothing makes sense and that was the last of your sanity, the last of your emotions, and the last of your hopes, you would cry, you would scream, but you forgot how to do it... I would not wish upon anyone such fate
EATEOT has honestly made me so afraid of the fact that i cant remember what i had for breakfast. sure, i guess you should "make every moment count" or something like that but it really just makes me so aware of how every experience is slipping through my fingers like sand and it paralyzes me with fear of doing anything cause it will just be lost
@@MaybeTophat It shows that they gained consciousness for a short period of time, only to die, back in complete emptyness and abyss. At least, that’s how I see it.
0:10 Crying/Banging Being put in a coffin or people mourning you 0:14 Funeral bell rings 0:21 Choir and orchestra starts playing 5:07 Music stops 5:16 A minute of silence to respect the life lost... at least that's what i think this track is
I always thought the beginning was the sound of coughing and then someone walking down a hallway, possibly a worker in hospice walking past the dementia patient’s room.
The last minute of utter silence in this song may seem pointless, but has so much meaning. It’s like it shows the patient having their final breaths and seconds before finally passing away, heading into the peaceful afterlife.
I feel like the purpose of it is so that you yourself can hear the ambience around you and hear what a dementia patient might be hearing in their final minute. It’s to help you realize what step you should take next after listening, depending on what you hear. The first time I listened to this final track, I was on my way home from my grandpa’s house, he actually had dementia and my family was going to check up on him and get him prepared meals and clean clothing. I heard my family talking and getting gas at a gas station, they said the area seemed shady and they were afraid. I was far from afraid though.
this is literally exactly how i interpreted it. the patient takes their final breaths before passing away and the silence is suppose to resemble their loved ones mourning their death in silence
@@lilsquidyyy Terminal lucidity is a condition where clarity is regained before death. Alzheimers does not fully disintegrate the brain, that's how we have the brains of alzheimers patients.
@@lilsquidyyy it can be reversed because, recent researches prove that, by quantum physics, the memories stay inside the neurons and not in the connections between them, explaining how the suddent comeback of memories even though the brain is done for. A powerful wave of energy sent to the brain by the body, to attempt to act as a final gasp for air to the body, temporarily puts those neurons back to function but with most of their proteins destroyed, they can't function for too long.
He called me his Caretaker. He was at peace. I watched as his body relaxed and the silence shattered into a thousand chimes. The ringing snapped me out of my trance. Time was still passing. I watched as his fingers tapped on the side of the bed. The IV's cord bounced as his hand began playing an imaginary piano. His lifeless eyes, free of the shadowy tears, were darting. The whole irises were seeing things despite being clouded by a dense fog that, I swear unto you, seemed to have vanished. He was seeing again, perhaps. And he was playing a piano, one that I could not see but he definitely could. I held his cold hand that didn't want to hold mine. He wasn't even focused on me. It was like his eyes didn't want to see anything anymore, nothing more than what he was imagining, maybe. The church beyond the rustling trees held its choirs high, and I swear I could hear them as clear as I believe he could. I didn't know what he was playing, but if I had to guess, it was a church's organ, and may those heavenly angels hear him play it! Those pearly gates should open for that man. Key after key, seconds and thirds, I watched his fingers slow their tapping. He was at Stage 6. I saw his white irises look at me, the one holding his hand, the one who took care of him. I don't know if he was looking at my face, or right through me. It was hard to tell. And I saw the corners of his lips lift into a slight smile. He played the last key. There was no use in telling him anything, not one more thing he didn't know already. Could I have said any goodbyes, take cares? Any farewells? I didn't want to tell anything. I wanted him to have his silence. I was his Caretaker. He was my friend.
Everyone in the comments is saying how heartbreaking this song is. Like it’s the “bad ending”. And while it is heartbreaking, to me… it seemed to be filled with relief. Almost joy. If we’re using the Terminal Lucidity theory, the patient is finally remembering in their final moments. They’re given a parting gift, so they may die knowing that they were loved and cherished by those around them. They may die with a smile on their face, after a long and terrible battle with this horrible disease. They can rest now.
It’s peace. The years of torture are done. All you have to do now is sleep. You’re okay. You’re tired. It’s time to rest. It’s time to reach that peace. Everlasting, elegant, peace. That’s what this song means to me
when the last memory dies, the person dies too, they will be like a husk of themselves, no identity and inable to comprehend identity itself, like a soulless thing, dementia sucks.
My grandfather just passed away few days ago because of cancer. His dead, skinny and unnaturally yellow face with his mouth opening showed how painful he had been through. This music makes me think he's finally got released from suffering. Rest in Peace. I'll miss you.
same thing happened to my father back in 2022. he was just a normal recovering cancer patient at the beginning of the year. he even drove us to some places in second of january. in february we learned that his lung cancer has spread to his brain after his lymphs or whatever they're called. 3 months into the year he was already bedridden. in june he was hardly speaking. we quickly arranged my brother's wedding so he could see his older son married before he died. beginning of september, he was almost gone. they took him into the palliative section because there was no hope for him. my family still believed in some kind of miracles but I had already given up in april. he died on 28th of september, 2022 sometime between 5 am and 6 am. to be honest, it was pretty hard to see my own father in mere months decay before my 15th birthday.
The creepiest part of this, is that, the tune actually makes sense, and you can hear it. You shouldn’t expect a Tune since it’s all the way at the end and at that point everything would be gone. But there is a tune, that you can very clearly hear, with no errors. After all this chaos, there’s the death tune. The end tune, that represents the person’s final moments, before dying.
This part made me want to cry. Imagine slowly decaying, falling and falling into the inky black void of nothingness, becoming a shell of a human. The worst part is, you don't even die for a while. Your family, the ones who care about you, just have to watch you fade. I really hope they find a cure for this horrid disease. The Caretaker did a really good job with this song, and the album as a whole.
@Killer Queen Well, I do understand you're point. Some people can't cry at certain points. But I so happened too. If its your thing, try looking for something sad like your soul
@Killer Queen Look, it's okay to cry sometimes. We aren't made to be strong 100% of the time. You probaly need something or someone to take off some steam and anger. Plus I know what you're doing, looking for an argument. All I can do is give you a suggestion. Take a break from the internet, find some music you like and relax
@UC96ERanfOsiZ4qCsOrxKzvw Why the sudden aggression towards people. He just stated that he cried since this album depicts an experience to people what (metaphorically) dementia sounds like, and emotions are a normal thing its not like you see someone cry for the 100th time. Stop trying to even make a scene and I recommend to fuck off this reply section then give yourself some fresh air.
My mother was there when my grandfather died of Alzheimer. He suddenly called her name multiple times after not having it remembered for years and only calmed down after she hold his hand and stayed close. He died peacefully minutes later by drifting off into eternal sleep.
honestly, the prospect of this ending being a final moment of clarity before the mind becomes a complete void is even more terrifying than if it was a funeral where the person had died
the last 6 minutes of everywhere at the end of time made me tear up after 4 hours of disortion and sounds of repetitive horror, a melancholic yet beautiful chorus comes in, so close yet so distant, flawless and not disorted. Terminal lucidity. (it has been shown when those suffering from severe dementia and other related diseases have one last clear reocurrence of their sanity and theirselves, as well as their memories before they completely loose the ability to remember anything) the chorus is the suffering individual, trying so hard not to let go, but dementia is overpowering. The finest memory, the final piece of youself breaking loose before 2 minutes of silence. You don't remember anything, you don't remember your name, you don't remember your family, friends, memories, you don't remember yourself. You cannot eat, you cannot walk, you can only know how to breathe. and the world fades away from a former husk of yourself.
Yeah, like how the oldest person was 122 years old before their death. Seems very long, right? Well, compare that to the 4-5 billion years that Earth has been here and however much longer it will exist in the Universe, from being formed by elements and gases that made up the Earth from core-to-atmosphere, and eventually the decay of Earth's orbit in quintillions of years, then the decay of the Universe itself (including the Earth) and atoms, and, eventually, protons themselves in God-knows-how-many years, then the death of the Universe itself, when every star that is currently shining fading away, only black holes ever remaining, then even the black holes in the Universe will fade away due to Hawking radiation (if it even exists).
Lol we can live for like up to 122 years. You call that short? We live so much longer compared to other creatures on this earth. Do you think we live so little time, like the life span of a HAMSTER? a hamster's life span is literally 2 to 3 years. WE LIVE SO MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. Just reminding you we live for a really long time.
@@gooberuploadsinc Someone reaching this age, even to this day, is extermely rare. Some animals lives as long as human, and some even longer. But in my opinion, what matter isn't how long you lived, but how fully you lived.
Don’t worry. Maybe you’ve heard of it before, but this song is made to represent terminal lucidity. Notice how there is no more skipping and less static, notice the minute of complete silence and peace. Terminal lucidity is a moment in a person with dementia’s life where they suddenly remember everything. I mean everything, everything that they have been struggling with so so much they finally remember. It usually only lasts for a few seconds to even 5 minutes, but some people have been lucky enough to have it last a week or more.
"How's your grandma?" It was the last thing I heard from my grandfather, he didn't see her for decades after their divorce, but he always kept asking me that everytime he was with me, sadder with the time. He's in a better place now, as I knew he left us when he was sleeping, watching his old movies even if he couldn't hear, move or even speak too much in his final moments, maybe just escaping in his mind by thinking in better places and better times, seeing his loved ones that left him years ago. Now with my wodden car toy that he gave me as a child I remember him, not mainly because his speaches or ideas, but for his acts that had good intentions, without saying too much to leave an impact in the lives of many.
If you haven't gone through the entire thing, and I mean the 6 stages, please, do not watch this video. I know curiosity can get the best of us sometimes, but avoid it at all costs, because then, when you finally get to the end this music will sound like the most beautiful thing you've ever heard and only then, you may come back here. By this time, you will tear, or at least get chilled by this amazing piece of art.
Nope, that's wrong. I listened to the full album and this has pretty much the impact you'd expect it to have, even now. EATEOT is amazing, but it's not something that should be worshipped and listened 'in the right order', it's literally just a work of art that depicts dementia. I don't get people treating music like it's a person that needs to be treated in a particular way to be 'understood', spoilers for actual stories I get worrying over, but this is just silly.
Actually, some people prefer to skip out some phases because some either aren't psychologically well and ready or are busy and can't endure the whole 6 hours that this beautiful album has to offer. In my case, it was the former, and yet, only hearing fragments of EATEOT, this track hit me as a train, I really felt melancholic and almost teared up.
2:48 in specifics hits me. Those few seconds sound so fucking sad, I cannot even describe it. It just feels like the end of a journey, an era's end. I cant even describe in words how it feels, it just sounds like you just passed away and are now being sent to heavens gates. Its just a happy little like 4 seconds, but at the same time its insanely depressing, it just is the end of something big. Something that you've been doing for most of your life, and it finally came to an end. Its so heart wrenching to hear but its so happy.
Everything has an end even your life anything anyone it has a time to be vanished their clock will end from those suffering from pain of life and then they will rest in peace in the other side then God chose their drection of their end being in heaven or hell you can now chose what place you wanna go to if you wanna heaven you can work hard and be nice not to go to heaven bc you love God we do good things because we love God but the other people in the other side they do not work by themselves and be nice they would steal and be rude and then gates of hell will be opening to them to re watch the pain and feel the pain but even if you are good you have a bad side a point in your heart that if someone make you suffer it takes all over you and it hurt that person more painfull than a bad person would they would snap and bad people have a point in their heart of good they can be good it's like ying and yang But if we get back to the point of dementia this stage is the end I call it brain dead hum because before a person who have dementia is going to dei and they are at stage 6 they start humming their favorites songs and when its done of humming they remember from those songs things and remember everything then when the music ends the person ends with it to and at least he was in peace before he/she deid but the most hurtfull and harder stage is 5 it's were the person suffer and scream for their memory the last screams the last breaths the last suffering things they don't know who they are who are the people around them they would be fearing anything anyone crying and screaming in that stage evreyhing is weird and scary and trefying to them even when they look at their self's they would ask what is this or who is that evreyhing would be hard to do until the brain dead comes they rest and the worst part in this thing that you will not be cured anymore just stay still in that bed with the person you love before they would be vanished aleardy but hey everything has a end and that why the album name is evreywhere at the end of the time at least you learner something that evreyhing would have a end even that dementia thing would have a end so there's nothing to fear just try to stay safe and be happy even the loved ones that deid would be happy to see others happy they would be happy to flying and not fearing anything and they rest in peace
My great uncle passed away in July. My grandma was depressed for a while. His last words to me were: May I speak to your Lola again? He had so much ambition. It has been 2 months since his passing. Only now I understand the true meaning of this. This made me feel his presence one last time before he passed. I had a dream the day after his passing that I wished him luck as he boarded a shuttle and went off into space. I will forever miss you uncle.
Dear grandma; I was young. Too young to appreciate you. Your smile, your wise words, your time at my side. I weep for myself when it comes to that, since I know well that you always loved me, and always loved my company even if I wasn't aware of how precious that was. Time was mean to you, to your words, to your smile. But don't worry, for I know who you are. I know that even when age took your speech, it wasn't you who was suffering. Maybe it was me, who wept when witnessing a withering loved one. But now I know, I know now that you can finally rest that you are not in pain, and that hopefully you never were in the first place. I love you grandma, and even if I miss you I know that you can be happy now, no matter where you are.
@Eryk Stańczak It was sadder before she passed really... the fact that I'm able to write about it and reflect about these feelings means that I've been able to move on I wrote about it because I just never had the chance before, and after listening to this album I really had a lot of things going on in my head
I did not cry from this, dont get me wrong it was emotional, but not in a sad way. instead it felt like liberation from the brutal 4 hours of noise i just endured. an intensely bitter sweet ending. I guess its kind of like dying if you were afflicted with this disease, you are emotional about all you have experienced through your journey but overall your final days were unfortunately torturous, and a quiet death is the best thing you can have to extract you out of the empty void of your own decayed mind. people have compared this to a funeral, but i see it more as an ascension to heaven type thing
The choir wasn't really a peaceful death. You can hear coughing in the background. They are obviously in an old folks home. Even when someone has dementia, they can still hear music and tunes from their past. When the music disappears So does their last trace of thought. They simply exist and dont think. The quiet wasn't death. It was the moment before death. They dont actually die until the album is over.
Your body starts to slowly empty. You desperately try to cling on to your last memories, but they all fade away. You forget who you are, who your mom is, your pets, your family, everything. The only thing you remember is how to breathe. You don't even realize what's going on. Then you have a brief moment of your memories returning. All you want is to say one last goodbye to everything, but you can't. You then forget everything. Eventually, they cut off your life support and give everyone the news. A few days later, at your funeral, everyone says how great of a person you are. They lower the coffin along with your body into the ground as the sobbing and bidding farewell continues. A few years later, someone mutters your name for the last time. Then, you are forgotten. Just like all of your memories in your previous life. They're all gone.
Feels like your witnessing a person's final memory. A good, angelic, peaceful moment in time. The one that means the most, the one that despite everything managed to survive becoming part of the encompassing void that is the decayed mind. Then...... its gone. And the mess the mind has become, is gone too. Dissappeared into emptiness, and nothing. Such a somber, yet beautiful send off to the album, it makes the six and a half hour journey worth it.
@@thatnikkakris2339 my interpretation is that it’s terminal lucidity. The moment of clarity before death. It’s not a very well researched phenomenon but it’s worth looking into.
The needle drop feels like that “Aha!” moment of casually remembering something you had forgotten and tried to remember for a few minutes. Except this time, *you remember everything.*
@@Gardengap I don't know, honestly. I don't think we know enough about the brain (ironic) to truly say what causes it. It could be a miracle, it could be explained by science. Who knows?
@@Gardengap I saw on another comment that it is caused by the brain making some sort of chemical when nearing death, this allows it to function through the plaque that causes dementia, I don't know if this is true though
I think the fact that it's 5 minutes of music and 1 minute of silence, is because it takes roughly 5 minutes to fully suffocate, and the most common way alzeimer's kills a person is by causing them to forget how to regulate even instinctual tasks, such as breathing, the last minute is final death.
And, at the highest peak, we look upon the world. Large holes dot the landscape, like blotches of ink and tears in the fabric. What lies beyond the cracks? what color is the abyss? is it a dark, looming void, or the brightest light ever seen? We try our hardest to see something, but there is nothing left. The fabric has torn completely. Now, only small shreds and fragments of our world is left. And those are fleeting. And we are falling apart. And you are falling apart. And you don't even realize. You don't realize anything. Where are we? Everywhere, at the end of your time.
When I discover music I like, I usually leave lengthy comments upon comments about how passionate I am, but with this what is there to say that the caretaker already hasn’t?
For me, after hours of dread, followed by confusion, followed by terror, followed by emptiness, this final song acted as a reminder. This is how it feels to forget. This is how it feels to remember. This is how it feels to feel.
@@ghoul5286 Yung bae fan too ayyyye also I quite liked this song not as sad as the hype gave it I would actually like to transcribe it to play it with some friends it sounds very nice imo but I want to understand what made you cry
@@saturn-silves432 yep, there's a whole "unofficial" storyline to it - but, with what we know, this final 'scene' is the funeral of the caretaker. explains the shuffling and coughing before the choral piece begins. the minute of silence is, as you said, a minute of silence for his death. super well executed, made me cry so badly first time
0:10 I really like this part here, to me it symbolizes that the patient has finally broken through all the confusion and nothingness to remember one last time before passing away.
Massive thanks to lain as she found a book which has the lyrics named "O jesu christ, Thy cross doth call me," btw lyrics start at 1:02 O Jesu Christ Thy Cross doth call me O Jesu Christ Thy Cross doth call me For thou did'st give Thy life for mine Thou did'st give Thy life, for mine O Jesu Christ Thy Cross doth call me For Thou did'st give Thy life for mine Jesu Christ, Jesu Christ O Jesu Christ Thy Cross doth call me For Thou did'st give thy life for mine For Thou, did'st give Thy life, for mine Thy Sacred Heart For me is breaking Thy Sacred Heart For me is breaking For Thee my love at last is waking For Thee, my love is waking My life for ever more be thine My life for ever more be thine

I lost my grandma this morning after a rapid decline into late-stage dementia. She'd had problems with memory for years, but the last 3 months went so quickly. Hearing this, I can only hope she felt at peace as she went, after so much suffering. She's with her husband again now, after 21 years. I love you Gram.
glad that they are together again. my father died because of cancer last september. nothing about dementia but, last time I saw him, he couldn't even realize that his beloved son was there for him. I was there. it was something like 2 weeks before his death. he wasn't even able to lift his hands, his feet were almost purple-ish and swollen, his black-gray hair was long gone, he was looking like a skeleton. don't know why but I was unable to cry for months. my then best-friend was trying to make me feel her support but she wasn't helping. I heard my mom's cries every night. couples getting seperated is one of the worst things to happen in this world.

I saw a comment on here from some guy talking about how before his grandfather passed away, he said something along the lines of "Do you see them? The angels, I see them. Are you still here?" and it's stuck in my brain ever since. It's hard to describe the emotion something like that must capture. God rest that man's soul.
Not afraid to admit this song literally made me cry. My great grandmother had recently passed away from cancer, and was overall deteriorating and it made me sad. This song reminds me a lot of her in ways I never thought possible, it’s beautiful, simply beautiful.
Lost my uncle to Alzheimer's last may, grandparents are diagnosed with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. My maternal grandpa recently found out that he has stomach cancer which can't be operated thanks to diabetes and old age. Literally waiting for death,I hope nothing similar happens to me.
I lost my boxer dog and he passed away when he was 3 years old i couldn't stop crying it heart breaks me to death and i cried 10 minutes because im going to miss him forever in life
Listened to the whole thing, never had a family member die of Alzheimer’s but it made me cry, knowing that this is how Alzheimer’s Patients experience life. Dying not knowing who they are. Not knowing what they are, where they are. It’s a scary thing to die from if you think about it hard enough.
0:00 Final moments before the inevitable 0:10 Is when they pull the cord on your life support 0:12 Is you being wheeled out of your room to your family to tell the bad news 0:19 The family is Grieving of your death 1:01 Funeral starts days later 1:35 Slowly being lowered into the ground 1:47 Family is mourning of your funeral 1:52 You are gone but not forgotten 2:54 The good memories 3:10 Its time to go 3:16 Its better to let it go than hold on to the memory 4:05 Final goodbyes to the world 4:12 Drifting away 5:14 Place in the World fades away 5:15 Minute of respect 6:16 End of the minute of respect
I have listened to every song in the track. And this one hits me the hardest. I can't exactly say why, but it's just... Different. It's like, as sanity drifts away, and your last memory is barely stable, your place in the world fades away, as your last memory, turns into void.

My grandmother spent her last 6 years in a home. Near the end, she had a terrible fall, and became non vocal. It was a tough couple weeks, seeing the fear and anxiety in her eyes as she was unable to speak.
The last night, we knew she was fading. My aunt was flying in from California to see her while there was still time. We kept telling her that all night, and when my aunt called from the airport and said she was close, we told her. She started humming "You Are My Sunshine."
She never spoke, but it was the clearest form of communication she'd be able to make for months. She wasn't conscious anymore when my aunt made it, but she hung on long enough, and squeezed our hands before the end.

@@Daddy-ue1du words of wisdom and truth
This is the probably the most tragic song I've ever heard. A lot of people seem to interpret is as the character being already dead and being welcomed by a choir of angels. But I've always thought of it as a final drop of lucidity against all odds (terminal lucidity). This is because there is a clear change between the rest of the song and what follows after that needle drop sound. What comes first is that 'fog' which is mostly ambient noise, and what follows is a return to the staticy memories we came to associate with lucidity in parts 1-3. This person is experiencing their very last memory in full, with no skips, jumps or alterations besides the heart-wrenching static. It finishes, and abruptly ends (death).
To me the scariest part about this album is that it's a reminder not that we die, but that we decay.
We from the start are decaying, a damned fate, but in the least we can all attain perfection... Eternal nothingness thereafter.
i know i’m not serious sometimes but this comment just changed my way of looking at things.
@Layne Krusz Yup, best never been.
How I see it is a grim reminder to hold your past and your sense of self every dearly and to be grateful of this life because tbh if this were happening to me I'd gladly be decaying knowing that I did the best with what I had
this is extremely plausable as you can actually hear what sounds like some muffled crying. probably your family around you as they think you are already gone... too bad you probably forgot them a year ago so its just noise to you now
You don’t suddenly die. You decay. That’s the scariest part. Years of decline and losing everything that you were made of for your entire life. Think about how much of you memories makes up. Look at objects in your bedroom. Each one has a memory attached. You see the object and you can recall how you got it, each one with a story. Now imagine every item is gone, every event with them.
When you are dying from dementia you don’t even have the comfort to say you had a good life. You don’t know who you are. You die with nothing. You worked so hard through your whole life to be happy and as you sit dying in the last moments that you are able to think ever again, you cannot recall them at all. You work for everything but in the end you die with all of it gone. You die not as yourself but as no one.
You will decay slowly and as you die, you are not even yourself. You die long before you give your final breath. And that is what is so scary.
Not even flex tape can fix that

The patient is having a moment of terminal lucidity as the patients final drop of life is squeezed, and is going into the afterlife. Finally, the patient will not suffer. The patient will not forget. The patient will be immortal, remembering their life, remembering the waves, the music. The choir. Finally, enjoying things, remembering the choir. They see the light, that blank canvas won't be blank anymore. It will have colors, many colors.

My grandmother passed away this last October and she suffered heavily from dementia. There was a very brief moment, maybe about six or seven seconds right at the end where the turmoil on her face cleared, she sat upright in bed, then gave no one in particular the brightest smile we'd seen from her in years. Then she left us. That moment changed my life and stumbling on this album months later has given me a haunting idea of what she might've been going through. I like to think those final seconds were this song, the final moment of clarity, or maybe she was being welcomed to her new home by her husband. I dunno, this turned into rambling, but... It's something to think about, I suppose.
I’ve lost a grandparent to the slow toll of pancreatic cancer caused by exposure to herbicides during the Vietnam War, I’ve lost another from suddenly getting hit by a car while biking. I hope the other two never catch dementia.

It feels more like he's slipping from his dementia filled life, and into the afterlife. Throughout the song you can hear faint sounds of memories, a dog barking, footsteps, stuff being knocked down.

My great grand mother was taken by this disease before I was born. And like many sufferers, she apparently became very clear towards the end after many years of being incoherent.
My father was with my great grandfather and in a very rough spot in life himself, telling him that he was lost and didn’t know how to go on, that he felt like God had abandoned him.
My great grandmother, who until then had for years sat in her rocking chair everyday and hummed nonsense to herself, suddenly stopped and stood up. She walked to him and kneeled beside my father and took his hands and said, “he won’t. He never will.”
She then promptly returned to her chair, and within seconds was back to her non responsive mumbling. To this day, my father believes God spoke to him through my great grandmother. Maybe, maybe not. But it’s a clear example of how there’s always a piece of the person still inside the fractured mind of a dementia sufferer. And they have a few strong memories that can sometimes bring them back.
I was depressed enough after listening to the entire thing (even if it was not in one go), reading all the comments makes it worse. To this day I've never got destroyed by a piece of music. Yes, I listened to sad songs before but they usually had some kind of context behind them, like a sad movie or a tv show. This is just one song from the entire album without any context which doesn't even need any sad story behind it to be so powerful.
Those who are closest to death can see Azrael coming, they can see the smallest peace of God's divnity
God will never leave you.
It's called "terminal lucidity", which is when a dementia or Alzheimer's patient suddenly is much more coherent and remembers their memories due to a wave of energy from their body to the brain which gets the neurons working again, but it only lasts from seconds to days because the neurons and the proteins that they have are decayed due to said Alzheimer's/dementia/amnesia. Either that or God spoke to your great grandmother. May she rest in peace 🙏

This song is supposed to represent your last memory. You're clinging onto it. It's all you have left. The choir are the cries for you to keep holding onto this precious memory. All the other ones you have forgotten include your name, your family, your friends, how to eat, how to speak, how to communicate. Nothing it's all gone. All you have left is how to breathe. You're breathing in an unfamiliar room. The person in front of you claims that they're your close relative, but you don't recognize them at all. Who the fuck is this? Get out get out get out!
You are distracted as the choir suddenly stops singing.
Your memory has drifted elsewhere.
You have nothing.
Just empty silence and confusion.
You're empty.
I like to think this is death, the person has already been empty for a while now, the choir is The sweet release that is death by this point
It actually is supposed to be the last memory, and the end is the memory fading away, just like the other memories before it
HockeyLover 569 that doesn’t make much sense to me though, because then what would the build up before it be.
It legitimately is supposed to be the last memory, specifically your favorite song.

@@thatnikkakris2339 nothing, imo its more just a gradual decline into extreme confusion and emotions you cant describe. this is too consonant and real after everything else, along with the coughing sounds and the rocky wooden noises, this def sounds like a service at a church. there is no life to cling on to, there is no moment, no final moment of bliss or even a describable emotion, good or bad. its the end, and this song is just the song at the funeral
thats ofc my interpretation and its all fine to take it in a diff way.
I wonder how the Caretaker, the person who made this track, doesn't fall into sadness or depression whilst working on this.
A track so beautiful yet a horrifying reminder that death will come to us all. In what is seemingly a person's final moments appears, finally, a clear memory. A song piece. The piece soulfully accompanies them after years of fog - no more white noise; nor skips or jumps: clarity. All for nothing as shortly all is taken from them. It ends, the person dies in peace, the song remembered for the easing of their own passing. A minute of silence is given and the track ends. So freaking depressive man...
I don’t think someone who is emotionally okay would start a project like this in the first place. If anything, it’s the mode of expression that got him through something.
He must have a perfect understanding of human emotions to make this emotional masterpiece
Art is a way to express emotions. Music is art.
Man its crazy how this original sample was literally made with the intent of being private. Nobody besides the original choir and Leyland Kirby has them, and he's lucky to even have two copies.
It almost really makes this more the magical, knowing that you won't ever truly hear the original sample unless it gets leaked out or Leyland Kirby releases it. It really, and truly feels like a solid end.

@Layne Krusz That's- That's not the right sound.
What really gets me is the crackle before the silence. You hear a faint pop followed by total silence, as if the last tiny signal in your brain telling you you're alive finally sizzles out.
Like sirens, screaming at you fall down an endless abyss forgetting their faces. A choir of voices you can faintly remember, but have no words to call upon and no emotions to feel. Forgetting that you exist, that you used to be a thing in the world, but now no longer. Symphonies of ontological torment, a song that you heard your entire life that you can no longer remember.
My mother has Alzheimer’s, and I would do anything to stop her existential pain and horror.
Im sorry man.
I’m sorry...
Im so sorry man, youre both beautiful souls and she's so lucky to have you. Her memory lives in you, and you too are gonna pass it on. Just please stay strong. A lot of people love you both, blessings ❤
I hope she rests well, take care
campaign for physician assisted suicide?
Many people think this final part is sad, I disagree, it feels like a release from all the torment, a final beautiful melody that sets you free from this life
Yeah based on the whole album, its about dementia as you begin to lose grasp on reality. The sudden shift from warped music to an angelic choir is more so a peaceful yet depressing end where death is a more peaceful option than losing memory and sanity
@@zombienoah6408 adding to that, when I listened to the whole thing it felt sudden, like a sudden cut to the final part. I think it's that sudden because of how you can't really tell when you'll die. It's so sudden. One second you're there, the next one you've forgotten how to breathe.
it might not set you free
@@Eric00006 we dont know how consciousness works. what if we come back and get dementia again
The reward for all your troubles
The sweet release of death
i wouldn't count this as a reward, this is heartbreaking
Pretty sure you wont remember what your troubles was
Death is a very funny thing.
It leaves us all wondering.
Contemplating it's TRUE form.
To some, death is an escape.
To others, something to fear. An object of their nightmares as their life slowly grinds to a halt.
But for me, death is just sleep.
A dreamless one at that.
Filled with endless peace and quiet.
It is a sleep that transports us to the next realm.
Will it come as a screech?
Or will it take the form of an old friend?
It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you finally rest. You sleep. in heavenly peace. as you reconcile with the stars.
...what troubles?

It's the scariest thing ever to go from not knowing what you had for breakfast, to not recognizing your loved ones to forgetting your own existence
to have life become this, a faint distorted and broken down version of a memory, a song you always used to remember slowly escaping you while you can't get it back, before you realize nothing makes sense and that was the last of your sanity, the last of your emotions, and the last of your hopes, you would cry, you would scream, but you forgot how to do it...
I would not wish upon anyone such fate
it's something you'd never ever wish on your worst enemy
Geez dont ya scare me im 15 and often dont know what i had for breakfast
@@delta713 just wish upon them a normal death like getting murdered smh this is too much
EATEOT has honestly made me so afraid of the fact that i cant remember what i had for breakfast. sure, i guess you should "make every moment count" or something like that but it really just makes me so aware of how every experience is slipping through my fingers like sand and it paralyzes me with fear of doing anything cause it will just be lost
@@polpotbaza9489 Don't worry, not remembering what you had for breakfast is common. Merely means you're distracted while eating.
The 60 seconds at the end of the song isn’t just 60 seconds, it carries the weight of the entire album with it.
I heard it represents the death of someone with dementia so thats why the 60 seconds of silence
@@MaybeTophat I also see it as plaque corrupting the rest of the brain, as the crackling represents plaque build up.
i think the creator said r it was a minute of silence in honor of those who died from it
@@MaybeTophat It shows that they gained consciousness for a short period of time, only to die, back in complete emptyness and abyss. At least, that’s how I see it.
Not just the album but the caretaker as well
0:10 Crying/Banging Being put in a coffin or people mourning you
0:14 Funeral bell rings
0:21 Choir and orchestra starts playing
5:07 Music stops
5:16 A minute of silence to respect the life lost...
at least that's what i think this track is
No no you are right. This is the last track of the song that represents the funeral of someone with dementia.
The first and last timestamp just reminds me of my grandma who died last year. God it pains me so much.
It's quite interesting... Because it's proved that the last of your senses to die... *Is your hearing*
I always thought the beginning was the sound of coughing and then someone walking down a hallway, possibly a worker in hospice walking past the dementia patient’s room.
The last minute of utter silence in this song may seem pointless, but has so much meaning. It’s like it shows the patient having their final breaths and seconds before finally passing away, heading into the peaceful afterlife.
I feel like the purpose of it is so that you yourself can hear the ambience around you and hear what a dementia patient might be hearing in their final minute. It’s to help you realize what step you should take next after listening, depending on what you hear. The first time I listened to this final track, I was on my way home from my grandpa’s house, he actually had dementia and my family was going to check up on him and get him prepared meals and clean clothing. I heard my family talking and getting gas at a gas station, they said the area seemed shady and they were afraid. I was far from afraid though.
The one minute of silence for the caretaker
this is literally exactly how i interpreted it. the patient takes their final breaths before passing away and the silence is suppose to resemble their loved ones mourning their death in silence
Just before dying he/she remembers that one beautiful song that touched their heart... I hope humankind finds a cure for dementia someday...
Hate to break it to you, but the brain at that point would be disintegrated. Once that’s done, it’s over. Your brain is basically useless.
@@lilsquidyyy Terminal lucidity is a condition where clarity is regained before death. Alzheimers does not fully disintegrate the brain, that's how we have the brains of alzheimers patients.
@@TheExperienceYT just found out it makes me relieved because I still have a chance if it happens to me
@@lilsquidyyy that's rigth
@@lilsquidyyy it can be reversed because, recent researches prove that, by quantum physics, the memories stay inside the neurons and not in the connections between them, explaining how the suddent comeback of memories even though the brain is done for.
A powerful wave of energy sent to the brain by the body, to attempt to act as a final gasp for air to the body, temporarily puts those neurons back to function but with most of their proteins destroyed, they can't function for too long.
He called me his Caretaker.
He was at peace.
I watched as his body relaxed and the silence shattered into a thousand chimes. The ringing snapped me out of my trance. Time was still passing. I watched as his fingers tapped on the side of the bed. The IV's cord bounced as his hand began playing an imaginary piano.
His lifeless eyes, free of the shadowy tears, were darting. The whole irises were seeing things despite being clouded by a dense fog that, I swear unto you, seemed to have vanished.
He was seeing again, perhaps.
And he was playing a piano, one that I could not see but he definitely could. I held his cold hand that didn't want to hold mine. He wasn't even focused on me. It was like his eyes didn't want to see anything anymore, nothing more than what he was imagining, maybe.
The church beyond the rustling trees held its choirs high, and I swear I could hear them as clear as I believe he could. I didn't know what he was playing, but if I had to guess, it was a church's organ, and may those heavenly angels hear him play it! Those pearly gates should open for that man. Key after key, seconds and thirds, I watched his fingers slow their tapping.
He was at Stage 6.
I saw his white irises look at me, the one holding his hand, the one who took care of him. I don't know if he was looking at my face, or right through me. It was hard to tell.
And I saw the corners of his lips lift into a slight smile.
He played the last key.
There was no use in telling him anything, not one more thing he didn't know already. Could I have said any goodbyes, take cares? Any farewells?
I didn't want to tell anything.
I wanted him to have his silence.
I was his Caretaker.
He was my friend.
That made me tear up, man..
That was beautiful. C'est fini.

Everyone in the comments is saying how heartbreaking this song is. Like it’s the “bad ending”. And while it is heartbreaking, to me… it seemed to be filled with relief. Almost joy. If we’re using the Terminal Lucidity theory, the patient is finally remembering in their final moments. They’re given a parting gift, so they may die knowing that they were loved and cherished by those around them. They may die with a smile on their face, after a long and terrible battle with this horrible disease. They can rest now.

when the last memory dies, the person dies too, they will be like a husk of themselves, no identity and inable to comprehend identity itself, like a soulless thing, dementia sucks.
When a familiar face is long forgotten, all I can do is sigh in bitter relief. For I know that familiar face is now in peace, in tranquility.
My grandfather just passed away few days ago because of cancer. His dead, skinny and unnaturally yellow face with his mouth opening showed how painful he had been through. This music makes me think he's finally got released from suffering. Rest in Peace. I'll miss you.
same thing happened to my father back in 2022. he was just a normal recovering cancer patient at the beginning of the year. he even drove us to some places in second of january. in february we learned that his lung cancer has spread to his brain after his lymphs or whatever they're called. 3 months into the year he was already bedridden. in june he was hardly speaking. we quickly arranged my brother's wedding so he could see his older son married before he died. beginning of september, he was almost gone. they took him into the palliative section because there was no hope for him. my family still believed in some kind of miracles but I had already given up in april. he died on 28th of september, 2022 sometime between 5 am and 6 am. to be honest, it was pretty hard to see my own father in mere months decay before my 15th birthday.

This part made me want to cry. Imagine slowly decaying, falling and falling into the inky black void of nothingness, becoming a shell of a human. The worst part is, you don't even die for a while. Your family, the ones who care about you, just have to watch you fade. I really hope they find a cure for this horrid disease. The Caretaker did a really good job with this song, and the album as a whole.
I am a person who rarely cries, after hearing this, I wept for a while. It got to me. Tis pain, but a good pain for some reason
@Killer Queen Well, I do understand you're point. Some people can't cry at certain points. But I so happened too. If its your thing, try looking for something sad like your soul
@Killer Queen Gladly, I like feeling emotions. Not just the feeling of mischief
@Killer Queen Look, it's okay to cry sometimes. We aren't made to be strong 100% of the time. You probaly need something or someone to take off some steam and anger. Plus I know what you're doing, looking for an argument. All I can do is give you a suggestion. Take a break from the internet, find some music you like and relax
@UC96ERanfOsiZ4qCsOrxKzvw Why the sudden aggression towards people.

bruh its juke herself
Hello?
the last 6 minutes of everywhere at the end of time made me tear up
after 4 hours of disortion and sounds of repetitive horror, a melancholic yet beautiful chorus comes in, so close yet so distant, flawless and not disorted. Terminal lucidity. (it has been shown when those suffering from severe dementia and other related diseases have one last clear reocurrence of their sanity and theirselves, as well as their memories before they completely loose the ability to remember anything)
the chorus is the suffering individual, trying so hard not to let go, but dementia is overpowering.
The finest memory, the final piece of youself breaking loose before 2 minutes of silence. You don't remember anything, you don't remember your name, you don't remember your family, friends, memories, you don't remember yourself. You cannot eat, you cannot walk, you can only know how to breathe.
and the world fades away from a former husk of yourself.
@Sebastian Freeman after Stage 3 is just shifting static and and slight tunes that can be barely heard through all the mess
stage 5 clarities:
This album really expresses not only how dementia effects the brain but how little time we have on this earth
Yeah
Yeah, like how the oldest person was 122 years old before their death. Seems very long, right? Well, compare that to the 4-5 billion years that Earth has been here and however much longer it will exist in the Universe, from being formed by elements and gases that made up the Earth from core-to-atmosphere, and eventually the decay of Earth's orbit in quintillions of years, then the decay of the Universe itself (including the Earth) and atoms, and, eventually, protons themselves in God-knows-how-many years, then the death of the Universe itself, when every star that is currently shining fading away, only black holes ever remaining, then even the black holes in the Universe will fade away due to Hawking radiation (if it even exists).

Don’t worry. Maybe you’ve heard of it before, but this song is made to represent terminal lucidity. Notice how there is no more skipping and less static, notice the minute of complete silence and peace. Terminal lucidity is a moment in a person with dementia’s life where they suddenly remember everything. I mean everything, everything that they have been struggling with so so much they finally remember. It usually only lasts for a few seconds to even 5 minutes, but some people have been lucky enough to have it last a week or more.
Its that feeling of knowing you are forgeting something but you cant remember what exactly

"How's your grandma?"
It was the last thing I heard from my grandfather, he didn't see her for decades after their divorce, but he always kept asking me that everytime he was with me, sadder with the time. He's in a better place now, as I knew he left us when he was sleeping, watching his old movies even if he couldn't hear, move or even speak too much in his final moments, maybe just escaping in his mind by thinking in better places and better times, seeing his loved ones that left him years ago. Now with my wodden car toy that he gave me as a child I remember him, not mainly because his speaches or ideas, but for his acts that had good intentions, without saying too much to leave an impact in the lives of many.

If you haven't gone through the entire thing, and I mean the 6 stages, please, do not watch this video. I know curiosity can get the best of us sometimes, but avoid it at all costs, because then, when you finally get to the end this music will sound like the most beautiful thing you've ever heard and only then, you may come back here. By this time, you will tear, or at least get chilled by this amazing piece of art.
Aw damn, I found your comment too late :(
Nope, that's wrong.
I listened to the full album and this has pretty much the impact you'd expect it to have, even now. EATEOT is amazing, but it's not something that should be worshipped and listened 'in the right order', it's literally just a work of art that depicts dementia.
I don't get people treating music like it's a person that needs to be treated in a particular way to be 'understood', spoilers for actual stories I get worrying over, but this is just silly.
Too late bucko
Actually, some people prefer to skip out some phases because some either aren't psychologically well and ready or are busy and can't endure the whole 6 hours that this beautiful album has to offer.
In my case, it was the former, and yet, only hearing fragments of EATEOT, this track hit me as a train, I really felt melancholic and almost teared up.
Oops 😭
2:48 in specifics hits me. Those few seconds sound so fucking sad, I cannot even describe it. It just feels like the end of a journey, an era's end. I cant even describe in words how it feels, it just sounds like you just passed away and are now being sent to heavens gates. Its just a happy little like 4 seconds, but at the same time its insanely depressing, it just is the end of something big. Something that you've been doing for most of your life, and it finally came to an end. Its so heart wrenching to hear but its so happy.

Everything has an end even your life anything anyone it has a time to be vanished their clock will end from those suffering from pain of life and then they will rest in peace in the other side then God chose their drection of their end being in heaven or hell you can now chose what place you wanna go to if you wanna heaven you can work hard and be nice not to go to heaven bc you love God we do good things because we love God but the other people in the other side they do not work by themselves and be nice they would steal and be rude and then gates of hell will be opening to them to re watch the pain and feel the pain but even if you are good you have a bad side a point in your heart that if someone make you suffer it takes all over you and it hurt that person more painfull than a bad person would they would snap and bad people have a point in their heart of good they can be good it's like ying and yang
But if we get back to the point of dementia this stage is the end I call it brain dead hum because before a person who have dementia is going to dei and they are at stage 6 they start humming their favorites songs and when its done of humming they remember from those songs things and remember everything then when the music ends the person ends with it to and at least he was in peace before he/she deid but the most hurtfull and harder stage is 5 it's were the person suffer and scream for their memory the last screams the last breaths the last suffering things they don't know who they are who are the people around them they would be fearing anything anyone crying and screaming in that stage evreyhing is weird and scary and trefying to them even when they look at their self's they would ask what is this or who is that evreyhing would be hard to do until the brain dead comes they rest and the worst part in this thing that you will not be cured anymore just stay still in that bed with the person you love before they would be vanished aleardy but hey everything has a end and that why the album name is evreywhere at the end of the time at least you learner something that evreyhing would have a end even that dementia thing would have a end so there's nothing to fear just try to stay safe and be happy even the loved ones that deid would be happy to see others happy they would be happy to flying and not fearing anything and they rest in peace

My great uncle passed away in July. My grandma was depressed for a while. His last words to me were: May I speak to your Lola again? He had so much ambition. It has been 2 months since his passing. Only now I understand the true meaning of this. This made me feel his presence one last time before he passed. I had a dream the day after his passing that I wished him luck as he boarded a shuttle and went off into space. I will forever miss you uncle.
Dear grandma;
I was young. Too young to appreciate you. Your smile, your wise words, your time at my side. I weep for myself when it comes to that, since I know well that you always loved me, and always loved my company even if I wasn't aware of how precious that was.
Time was mean to you, to your words, to your smile. But don't worry, for I know who you are. I know that even when age took your speech, it wasn't you who was suffering.
Maybe it was me, who wept when witnessing a withering loved one.
But now I know, I know now that you can finally rest that you are not in pain, and that hopefully you never were in the first place.
I love you grandma, and even if I miss you I know that you can be happy now, no matter where you are.

@Eryk Stańczak It was sadder before she passed really... the fact that I'm able to write about it and reflect about these feelings means that I've been able to move on
I wrote about it because I just never had the chance before, and after listening to this album I really had a lot of things going on in my head
You made me cry. Huge respect.
dude you have my respect
Made me cry, stay strong. As you should be
I did not cry from this, dont get me wrong it was emotional, but not in a sad way. instead it felt like liberation from the brutal 4 hours of noise i just endured. an intensely bitter sweet ending. I guess its kind of like dying if you were afflicted with this disease, you are emotional about all you have experienced through your journey but overall your final days were unfortunately torturous, and a quiet death is the best thing you can have to extract you out of the empty void of your own decayed mind. people have compared this to a funeral, but i see it more as an ascension to heaven type thing
exactly how i feel
You painted my feeling on this nicely dude
I did shed a tear though because it felt like release from this horror
I can’t take this comment seriously with that profile picture
same. if i had made it this far i would have cried from happiness, knowing that it was finally over and that i could rest in peace
The choir wasn't really a peaceful death. You can hear coughing in the background. They are obviously in an old folks home. Even when someone has dementia, they can still hear music and tunes from their past.
When the music disappears
So does their last trace of thought.
They simply exist and dont think. The quiet wasn't death. It was the moment before death. They dont actually die until the album is over.
I didn't cry personally but god damn the ending hits like a truck. This is genuinely one of those once-an-era masterpieces.
never thought to see you here
Just wait until you see eitbon's ending of stage 7.
That hit like a tank.

Your body starts to slowly empty. You desperately try to cling on to your last memories, but they all fade away. You forget who you are, who your mom is, your pets, your family, everything. The only thing you remember is how to breathe. You don't even realize what's going on. Then you have a brief moment of your memories returning. All you want is to say one last goodbye to everything, but you can't. You then forget everything. Eventually, they cut off your life support and give everyone the news. A few days later, at your funeral, everyone says how great of a person you are. They lower the coffin along with your body into the ground as the sobbing and bidding farewell continues. A few years later, someone mutters your name for the last time. Then, you are forgotten. Just like all of your memories in your previous life. They're all gone.
Why do I feel like this was stolen from multiple comments?
Isn’t this Terminal Lucidity?
it's sad how the caretaker can't even remember the lyrics of his own song. Fly high, Caretaker.
С ним все хорошо...

@play gray no, he quite literally gave the project dementia
Feels like your witnessing a person's final memory. A good, angelic, peaceful moment in time. The one that means the most, the one that despite everything managed to survive becoming part of the encompassing void that is the decayed mind. Then...... its gone. And the mess the mind has become, is gone too. Dissappeared into emptiness, and nothing. Such a somber, yet beautiful send off to the album, it makes the six and a half hour journey worth it.
I think it represents death, and the person is finally free of their condition
@@thatnikkakris2339 my interpretation is that it’s terminal lucidity. The moment of clarity before death. It’s not a very well researched phenomenon but it’s worth looking into.
Can I borah ya thesaurus
The needle drop feels like that “Aha!” moment of casually remembering something you had forgotten and tried to remember for a few minutes.
Except this time, *you remember everything.*
What causes Terminal Lucidity? If the memories are completely gone, how do they return from nothing? How do they just… re-spawn?
@@Gardengap I don't know, honestly. I don't think we know enough about the brain (ironic) to truly say what causes it. It could be a miracle, it could be explained by science. Who knows?
@@Gardengap I saw on another comment that it is caused by the brain making some sort of chemical when nearing death, this allows it to function through the plaque that causes dementia, I don't know if this is true though
Terminal lucidity is completely unknown. It’s clearly documented but its sheer existence creates a paradox of what we know about the brain.
@@Gardengapmy theory is probably the body using up all of its energy before it goes. Making the brain more efficient or something.
I think the fact that it's 5 minutes of music and 1 minute of silence, is because it takes roughly 5 minutes to fully suffocate, and the most common way alzeimer's kills a person is by causing them to forget how to regulate even instinctual tasks, such as breathing, the last minute is final death.
And, at the highest peak, we look upon the world. Large holes dot the landscape, like blotches of ink and tears in the fabric. What lies beyond the cracks? what color is the abyss? is it a dark, looming void, or the brightest light ever seen? We try our hardest to see something, but there is nothing left. The fabric has torn completely. Now, only small shreds and fragments of our world is left. And those are fleeting. And we are falling apart. And you are falling apart. And you don't even realize. You don't realize anything. Where are we? Everywhere, at the end of your time.
Holy shit dude
wow
beautiful
You really are complex
When I discover music I like, I usually leave lengthy comments upon comments about how passionate I am, but with this what is there to say that the caretaker already hasn’t?
For me, after hours of dread, followed by confusion, followed by terror, followed by emptiness, this final song acted as a reminder.
This is how it feels to forget.
This is how it feels to remember.
This is how it feels to feel.
its been week since I've listen to the whole project and these last 6 minutes haunt me. there's something about this that is just so...wow
I think this was the only song that i cried at.
Yeah its an experience. At first i though its just some creepy abiance track...boy was i wrong
I've not even listened to it all. Read about it before, listened to bits of it. This is haunting as fuck.
@@ghoul5286 Yung bae fan too ayyyye also I quite liked this song not as sad as the hype gave it I would actually like to transcribe it to play it with some friends it sounds very nice imo but I want to understand what made you cry
This final scene, the way I see it is death. It begins in compete silence and ends in curch type music
after all the pain and suffering i hope it is
Look up the term 'terminal lucidity'. I think it's about that.
it is, if you pay attention, you will notice there's a minute of silence after the music ends, it's a pretty great ending
@@saturn-silves432 yep, there's a whole "unofficial" storyline to it - but, with what we know, this final 'scene' is the funeral of the caretaker. explains the shuffling and coughing before the choral piece begins. the minute of silence is, as you said, a minute of silence for his death. super well executed, made me cry so badly first time
@@SalvadorP88 it definitely is dude, you feel it
0:10 I really like this part here, to me it symbolizes that the patient has finally broken through all the confusion and nothingness to remember one last time before passing away.

GET OUT
the fact that there is an entire minute of pure silence between this track and the end of the album really shows that this is what death for dementia patients is. this is a modern masterpiece
I lost my grandma this morning after a rapid decline into late-stage dementia. She'd had problems with memory for years, but the last 3 months went so quickly. Hearing this, I can only hope she felt at peace as she went, after so much suffering. She's with her husband again now, after 21 years. I love you Gram.
@theepicguy253 dang. hits hard man, im lucky cuz no one has dementia in my family, so im fine but im sorry for your losses.
glad that they are together again. my father died because of cancer last september. nothing about dementia but, last time I saw him, he couldn't even realize that his beloved son was there for him. I was there. it was something like 2 weeks before his death. he wasn't even able to lift his hands, his feet were almost purple-ish and swollen, his black-gray hair was long gone, he was looking like a skeleton. don't know why but I was unable to cry for months. my then best-friend was trying to make me feel her support but she wasn't helping. I heard my mom's cries every night. couples getting seperated is one of the worst things to happen in this world.
dementia is no joke
you are now an adult reborn
Except instead of starting to make memories like when you're born, you just can't make memories at all

I saw a comment on here from some guy talking about how before his grandfather passed away, he said something along the lines of "Do you see them? The angels, I see them. Are you still here?" and it's stuck in my brain ever since. It's hard to describe the emotion something like that must capture. God rest that man's soul.

Not afraid to admit this song literally made me cry. My great grandmother had recently passed away from cancer, and was overall deteriorating and it made me sad. This song reminds me a lot of her in ways I never thought possible, it’s beautiful, simply beautiful.
Lost my uncle to Alzheimer's last may, grandparents are diagnosed with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. My maternal grandpa recently found out that he has stomach cancer which can't be operated thanks to diabetes and old age. Literally waiting for death,I hope nothing similar happens to me.

Where MEN cried:
Listened to the whole thing, never had a family member die of Alzheimer’s but it made me cry, knowing that this is how Alzheimer’s Patients experience life. Dying not knowing who they are. Not knowing what they are, where they are. It’s a scary thing to die from if you think about it hard enough.

I don't want to think that's what death is like but deep down I know it probably is..
I think this is more like the time between when you stop breathing and when you are brain dead (or terminal lucidity)
6:17 .....
I think that last minute is the sufferer finally leaving this world
I have listened to every song in the track. And this one hits me the hardest. I can't exactly say why, but it's just... Different. It's like, as sanity drifts away, and your last memory is barely stable, your place in the world fades away, as your last memory, turns into void.
Long Decline is Over was that. This is being dead, or maybe just brain dead but physically alive, alive for your own funeral.
