This is genuinely so beautiful.
This short really emphasises the feeling in me that music is life and that music is part of us in such a deep way. The sound frequencies connect with our bodies and literally change and cause movement in our brain. I loved watching the cat stretch and breathe and look around and sleep. All around you is life, and I love noticing that. It's so peaceful watching other people, animals, things in nature just show their way of existence. Whether it's a tree dropping it's leaves in Autumn, a river flowing, people in love, bees flying through fields, it's all so beautiful to see. Life really is beautiful dude. But, in the long run, life does have no meaning at all; but what I think does give it meaning is love (in all forms) and music. There is no god, there is no heaven or hell, there's just now. So while you're here, don't be a dickhead.
P.s. can't believe I wrote all this over a 3 min video of a cat lying on a keyboard
