The Gate (Extended Mix) by Caroline Polachek Listen here: orcd.co/thegateextendedmix Video and concept by Ezra Miller Gate design by Timothy Luke Creative direction by Caroline Polachek
Yes! I love listening to pop songs with humming, shouting, and binaural beats. Her and Grimes are my go to people for that kind of music. They really have helped me relieve physical and emotional pain :D . I guess their stuff could be considered trance music. I haven't meditated to her music before, but I have to Grimes (Halfaxa album) and it works. I'll try this out next.
A simplified reason as to why humming helps, the muscles used for humming stimulate the vagus nerve (which is responsible for regulating anxious feelings).
This was a reply, but seeing as I put so much effort into this, I will post it in the main feed - 0:00 - 1:55 Predominantly So Hot You’re hurting my feelings with “the Gate” background music (apparently parachute can be heard here too but my ears are not that great) 1:55 - 3:45 Both Gate (lyrics) and continued humming of “So Hot you’re hurting my Feelings” 3:45 - 5:30 - Some chimes (maybe from parachute?) and “Gate” 5:30 - 6:20 Gate and continued humming of “So Hot you’re hurting my Feelings” 6:20 - 6:50 - Gate and Humming continues, but a feature from Parachute. (The 1:38 part of Parachute to be exact) 6:50 - 7:00 - Ocean sounds, presumably to match ocean of tears. All the previous songs are also playing 7:00 - 7:55 : Gate, mostly 7:55 - 8:15 : I can’t make out what this vocal extract is from, I think it may be parachute but it may be an addition? 8:15 - 9:08 - Mostly Door 9:08 - back to humming so hot your hurting my feelings So yeah, I think that’s all the time stamps. I’ll make any edits for any additions :)
kinda late to the discussion but: I can kinda hear "Black Lake" by Björk at 2:29. The melody she hummed is from So Hot, but in this key, it sounds like the strings in a segment of Black Lake.
Does Caroline understand how unbelievably astounding she is? The emotional connection I have with the song on the first listen is something so beyond rare. Thank you Caroline.
Standing at the gate I come here every day Just to see your face Just to hear you say There's no need to wait We will be okay 'Cause finally there's a way To be both free and safe
tthe lyrics for this are actually hm-hm-hm-hm-hm x6 to be both free and safe x12 hm-hm-hm-hm-hm x6 Standing at the gate I come here every day Just to see your face Just to hear you say "There's no need to wait We will be okay 'Cause finally there's a way To be both free and safe" to be both free and safe x8 hm-hm-hm-hm-hm x12
That part @ 7:59 where here vocal vibrato loops seemingly infinitely, then transforms into a gloriously expressive guitar-esque lead solo is a WONDER TO BEHOLD. I'd love to learn how that was accomplished, such a fantastic transformation!
Probably somerhing such as recording the vocals into a synthesizer and played it out as melody using an attached keyboard which is then looped at the same time as real vocals are song. Simpler than you'd think, if youre familiar with recording/ producing modern music. Not that takes away any of its beauty.
There was a study done by Plymouth State College on people who had a near death experiance. 50% reported hearing new age music and they found that Iasos - The Angels of Comfort was the closest to what they heard by a large margin. There are many scientific studys like this that indicate that reality is infact very spiritual and mystical yet most of us have no idea.

@@robyndurham9902 Not just that! @8:00, the vocal beats sound like the lowered version from Pang. The synth riff at @8:29 seems like the riff from the bridge of Caroline Shut Up. I might be wrong but this comment is amazing, what a dissection!
i don't quite know what i'm looking at but i dig it. i love how this kinda connects the 3 previous music videos (?? - the shiny light worm thing that came out of her mouth in "so hot you're hurting my feelings"; the mirrors inside mirrors in "door" + the symilar ad-libs in the final part of the song; and i also wanna say that the body of water shown here is a reference to "ocean of tears" because i wanna complete my fantasy, ok)
this gorgeous thing made me realise that a lot of the recent videos and tracks that follow this theme remind me strongly of the Neverending Story. Not the cheesy but lovable 80's movie, but the actual novel: With its surreal scenes and doors within doors being a major motif, cradled by the underlying theme of discovering who you are and what's really important to you. Even the "voice smoke" reminds me of Uyulala the oracle- just a disembodied voice- who to exist must always sing, bouncing from pillar to pillar as an echo.
This woman is officially my doctor, I can't imagine visual/audio medicated comfort without Caroline Polachek in this world. Thank you so much, you make life so promising and save me from my suicidal thoughts EVERY time
I feel like i hear biblical seraphim noises lol this song feels like being caught in the grasp of an angel and being carried into a new life or a safe place i really love this extended mix🥺💙💙✨🧜🏻♂️
Not like I'm counting the days But it's been three-sixty-five You're out there killing the game And damn, I love you tonight And I'm out in the ether, you're singing your song I cry on the ascend, it's so encompassing Please sing me refrains, your song is the cure 'Cause your tones, they are matching my feelings I am a little lonely Can't even get close to me You're the only one I want to hear now So pure, you're strumming my heart strings I love you
This visuals are look like a dream... Dream before "Insomnia". So bright and soft. I'm literally can't think after this video. I'm just falling asleep dreaming of this place. It's amazing!
she's humming the prechorus from so hot 😭
Yes I just noticed that!!!
Yesssss
Yup! Very cool.
and the mandolin of Door
OMG?
AND SHE IS..THE MOMENT..
SHE IS . IN BODY AND SOUL

fun fact is that humming can reduce mental stress & anxiety. I feel as if this is such the perfect song to hum along to in moment of crisis
I actually use this song to meditate

wait from her livestream w/ ezra apparently the ambient air sound from parachute is also played throughout...her mind
7:55 to 8:15 may be a new version of the "vocal solo" bridge during So Hot
@@ms_shortcake518 possibly! To me it sounds kinda like the end of “Cha-Ching” from her Chairlift days, but very unlikely

You can hear when the vocal fades down if you pay attention, it is a beautifully done volume + layering scheme between tracks.
hi torley! I miss your video tutorials, friend! Hope things are going well for you.
When her voice morphed into an actual synth 💖
that was.... well... no words can describe
Omg can you give me the time stamp?
@@abdullaal-naimi1662 its @ 7:58
This whole video landscape reminds me of a Salvador Dalí painting...surreal, mysterious and lovely💖
On the thumbnail it says its 10:01 mins long and i dont know if that was intentional but the number looks like a gate. If so then ugh her mind
honestly I wouldn't be shocked
once in a lifetime type of artist
This sounds like the music that plays when you die. beautifully surreal
how do you know
The menu music
@@willdd I haven't died (yet), but I've drowned once. It felt a lot like this song, tbh. Kinda freeing and peaceful in a way.

When we all thought this era was over, she snaps
your music, especilly this mix, makes me feel home in my own body. it's hard to explain.
just so much energy.
THIS
THIS. This comment made me cry : )
The way she mixes surrealism into her art makes me UGH! It's so satisfying to watch. Dali has my heart, too.
visuals remind me of mycelium or brain matter synapses! amazing... YES!
I cannot even explain how many times I've listened to this song. It literally saved my life.
Can anyone else hear “Door” and “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” in the melodies throughout this track?

I might be wrong but this comment is amazing, what a dissection!
oh im glad this one got extended cause the gate is my fave but its super short:(
hyper agree
And this beautiful "so hot" humming sounds like violins from Bjork's stonemilker. Her voice is just so instrumental and amazing
Caroline polachek is like an enchanted mermaid who came to the human world so she could heal us from pain 🪷
is this song what being a ghost feels like? if so i welcome death

This song is what life feels like.

A goddess, a literal goddess, no words.
Actually, she's a figurative goddess, not literal
Exactly what I was going to say

I've died, ascended, revived and died and ascended again. Right now I'm having a tea time with God as we listen to this.
This reminds me of an Imogen Heap song. It’s so beautiful. 💜👍🏽💜👍🏽💜
Oh f yeah ❤️🤘❤️
mainly why I loved her instantly. imogen and Caroline are goats
First time I hear her music was tonight and immediately thought “she’s like an Immi Heap understudy” - so, so incredibly talented
This makes me kinda sad that I won’t go to heaven 😩😩

Love this analysis
and at the end shes singing the melody of so hot youre hurting my feelings i think
it looks like they designed the environment then ran it through a gan-generator
I wanna go back to when I first heard this
This a modern classical music piece. I feel like my soul levitated for 10 minutes
this is unbelievable I have no words
The melody from So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings weaved in and out 😍
detaching soul from body atm
her voice sounds like a violin with the humming, i love itttttttt reminds me of imogen

This made me cry 😩😭 I love The Gate and this album and Caroline so much!
I might add I’m listening while watching Harry Potter so it’s definitely otherworldly.
Crystals. So Hi Def. Clearest quality ive ever heard. Transcending.
i always listen to this when i meditate
wish I could expect this kind of mesmerizing transformation every time I see "extended mix" on a track
7:59 is my favorite part of this extended mix.
I’m literally crying. This album has been on repeat for a year now and I’m so happy i get to hear The Gate extended 😭😭😭
congratulations, your taste in music is spectacular!
Would love to get an extended mix for every track on Pang. 🥀
Damn, this is easy on the ears.
The section at like 8:00-8:20 ish had me SCREAMINGGGGGGGG
I literally got scared when she started to siing like I was all alone haha
I want to live in this dimension
listening to this song while high must be an experience
I appreciate this album's conceptual quality so much. The more I listen, the more it grows on me. She's taking risks and I am here for it.
This album is the perfect definition of a fresh clear sky afternoon.
This song makes me feel like I'm In a different dimension.
How did she make the 8.04 and ahead thing, god, I love that so much.
I don't know why but almost in the middle of the video I started crying my eyes out ... I think it has cleansed my soul. You are amazing!
same here
Same
transcendent. timeless. gorgeous. thank you so much
This looks like a Dali animation with Caroline's soundtrack. beautiful ✨✨✨✨🔑🔑✨✨✨✨
transition from gate to water reminded me of the aquamarine intro. peaceful memory pulled from the depths of my mind
Not like I'm counting the days
But it's been three-sixty-five
You're out there killing the game
And damn, I love you tonight
And I'm out in the ether, you're singing your song
I cry on the ascend, it's so encompassing
Please sing me refrains, your song is the cure
'Cause your tones, they are matching my feelings
I am a little lonely
Can't even get close to me
You're the only one I want to hear now
So pure, you're strumming my heart strings
I love you
Did you write this?
This visuals are look like a dream... Dream before "Insomnia". So bright and soft. I'm literally can't think after this video. I'm just falling asleep dreaming of this place. It's amazing!
