still coming here 7 years later wishing this was on spotify
just heard it again today on YT music. Coming back to this song late at night just feels different
Wonder why this masterpiece isn’t on Spotify
first time listening and wondered the same thing
Me too bud... Me too..
Literally me
This is the most underrated song of EDEN in my opinion.
This and ILENIUM ft EDEN - Leaving
Its not even on spotıfy
RickyFO that song ain’t underratee it’s just that not a lot of people knew eden was the singer lol
All of his songs are
new people have to take time to understand the style of EDEN's songs
Eden never fails to punch me in the fucking heart but I love it
I love this
Ya he's fucking awesome
+I'm Yukii keep hitting them bills boi
+Toaoo Dev Yeah its more like hit with a speeding 18wheeler
ItzLectroBro // JockcraftPlayz ok that's the best comment here
i love this song so much
hi dani
yo i see u are a man of culture as well
Thanks funny coding man
its the funny coding man poggers
One of my favourite youtubers complimenting my favourite artist of all time? Damn man, more respect for you than ever
*LYRICS* I find it funny, the lights we shone, burn us out So I just keep running, but I can't catch this horizon, It's always just further than; I know it never ends, I fear what I'm dreaming of. And I know, it feels like heaven, when you are lost. And it feels like I'm out of time. And it feels like an end I can't overwrite. No, not this time! In the beginning, we always dreamed to be where we are now. The human condition, we chase lines that we redefine So close but still so far. I'm falling apart, want to be what the world forgot, And I know, it feels like heaven when you are lost. But it feels like I'm out of time. And it feels like an end I can't overwrite. And it feels like I'm watching my childhood dreams, Just fade and die. Oh we grow older, but never learn to say, Goodbye.
Nix thank you for the lyrics
that's so emotional !!! guitar with his soft voice !! ! just perfect
Really sad
Shine not shone
2021 and i refuse to stop coming back to this euphoric work of art
dont ask who’s still here in 2020 because we never left
❤
bro his old stuff is so much better in my opinion but I dont hate his new stuff.His new stuff is so different.
Faaaaaaacts 😂😂😂😂
lol, but its true
this is the message i want in every music
hope i’m not the only one that comes back to this
BeanMarioCow I’ve been listening to this since I was just a preteen. Now I’m in my 20s, it’s such a beautiful song with such a peaceful time of my life attached to it :) before he blew up, we used to talk on Facebook. He was super nice and we’d talk all about the process of songwriting, and the instruments. I loved his stuff so much! However time went on and he blew up. Hoping he’s still the same, I haven’t listened to any of his newer stuff. I just haven’t gotten around to it. But this song has always meant a lot to me, so many memories..
I fuckin love this song since 2 years
Same bro
im always here :)
Only the ogs know the real beauty of his older songs :)
No matter what side of Eden im listening to, im sold. This guy is a god. He should be known to all and everyone.
yea, I mean sometimes his songs are uploaded by like 10 different channels on youtube and the songs feel cheap (not bad but cheap the way that its not spent too much money on them) and thats probably why.
Yalniz degilmisim be kardesim benim
@@burhyalman160 ???????????
@@dascendtold to him bruh not you xD
Fucking facts
oh how i love the acoustic songs of the Eden project.
How was Times Like These acoustic?
In this song he says "But I can't catch this horizon...It's always just further than I-" Its very sad and defeating But years later in Wings he says " And you can find me where the sea pours into the stars...I'll get there someday" Where the sea meets the stars being the horizon. Ive always loved the flip between the 2 outlooks with the years of maturing in-between
Also this is Death of a Dream I just re-listened to Wings and he also says "Cause life is But a dream (only as good as you let it be)" Such a dichotomy
What a gem. Can't believe I've just only discovered this!
same
I'm discovering so many songs, this is heaven.
i feel sorry for you aha
I just found this now // 13.03.2018 😩
I have a lot of favorite artists.. but very few whose every single work I enjoy. EDEN is one of them. God I love his voice so damn much!
i'm the same
+munjareen shahnaz eden, crywolf and illenium for me
Jordan McGaw All great choices!
Have you heard of Jaymes Young? You'd probably like his music.
Ben Lane I have! And yes I do love his music. 'Habits of my heart' and 'Moondust' are my favourites! 😊
One does not simply listen to The Eden Project without getting some kind of feel..
Such is why he is one of my favourite artists to date. I don't feel a thing when I hear Trap or Dubstep... but when he releases a track, it's a chill-inducing experience, and I love it.
Zetsuuga The Eden Project is amazing
Same I always get a sensation from listening to his music!
man everytime i hear this song i kinda miss the song. it feels so weird but everytime i hear it i feel like its been too long since ive heard it the last time and i already... miss it? so weird. masterpiece
very well said mate
he played this song at his acoustic performance at Long Beach
giosdoyer thank you soooo much for uploading it
that would be heaven
I’ve been listening to eden since 2014-2015 when I was in middle school. Now I’m graduating from high school this year. Yeah, it didn’t go as planned with coronavirus... but this song always puts a smile on my face. The past should be something that is always looked back on something with curiosity and beauty. Anyways thanks for reading.
_Feels are present._ *Bows head and takes a silent moment* Truly beautiful song. Love it ♥ "Oh we grow older, but we never learn to say, 'Goodbye...'"
Fun fact: No one on this planet has seen a negative comment regarding The Eden Project :)
+Casper Sørensen They're songs are more love songs.
+dandan ellelle It's his songs, only one guy :)
+ZypoHD is it? its hard to tell with those background female vocals in a couple of songs
alex murphy Look him up on Soundcloud, "EDEN", only one guy, but I guess he's using samples and gets small collabs for the vocals :)
I prefer if he starts a duet with Leah Kelly. EDEN ft. Leah Kelly Statues
still coming back after 9 years
I'm only half a minute in and this would be a perfect chill out song.. Then again, everything from EDEN is perfect for just relaxing uvu
except circles, that song makes you wanna move
and fumes.
And End Credits
Justexile fumes is the best song in my eyes
Splitsy and sobbing spontaneously HAHhHha
This song makes me so sentimental and sad x.x but it's beautiful.
i feel it. i dont think this song ever gets old

"I find it funny The lights we shone Burn us out" It was the start of school year 2016-2017. I was a transferee student from another school where I was treated as an outcast, where I was bullied to the point that it severely damaged my self esteem. To the point that I whisper as a response to people everytime they approach me. He was one of those people I'm referring to. He's the extrovert that picked up an introvert like me and adopted as his friend. There was never a day where we didn't talk about a lot of things. When we talk, we never ran out of things to talk about. He's the guy that introduced me to Eden's music. However, as time goes by that's where I started to look at things on a bigger picture. If he's worth keeping or not. If the school is worth staying or not, for the sake of my mental health's recovery as it's also taking a toll on my physical health. As I assess my thoughts, I started to see how he's doing more harm to me and my mental health considering that he's a mentally ill guy (we shared some moments where I tried to help him out when he was attempting to end his life) and the same sentiment goes with my classmates that I've been interacting with. The place where he found me was not really the place where I'm planning to stay for the rest of my highschool years. Hence, I left without telling him that I'll leave after that school year. We still talk by the time that I'm already transferred to another school where I felt more comfortable. The place where I felt safer. Where I was respected. Where people are nice to me, including the teachers. Also where I respark my interest in art again as it was put on pause for 2 years due to bad mental health. On that year, I continued on dreaming to become a fine artist. One night that we were chatting, we had a conflict. It's not really a conflict though since I didn't dare to start a confrontation. I mentally can't during the time, as that was the same night that I was juggling my research paper and my business plan paper solo. I have to carry these freeloaders alone, with only coffee and spite. I snapped. I sent my last message to him before putting the chat on ignore messages then later unfriending and blocking him. I was hurt. Never did I cry over a friend before. I feel like a container full of pressure inside waiting to explode and that was that moment I anticipated for. We stopped talking for more than 2 years. Within those years, I'm starting to rebuild my self confidence slowly. Gaining more friends and putting myself out there. Until we met again. Not physically though, but online. Coincidentally, we have the same school but different locations and due to the pandemic the school decided to consolidate branches. We became classmates again. We talk but awkwardly like there's, this big elephant in the room that both of us are waiting for who's going to address it. It was a long time before I get to address it. Because if there's one important thing my first girlfriend taught me would be the importance of communication and transparency. I brought it up, reminding me of the thoughts that I had that night before cutting him off. It pains me telling those things to him. Telling him what toxic experience I've had with him. I'm surprised that he listened and he didn't gaslit me. That was the response that I've been anticipating the most because that was the most easier to move on from since I've already anticipated that. But he listened. We talk until we both decided to part our ways. Now, to the present I'm here waiting for an email from the job that I applied to and got accepted. From my dream of being a fine artist or a multimedia artist, I decided to go for the practical route. I'm now saving money for an accountancy degree to make my parents proud and also a compensation for being gay. Or rather, for failing my parents' expectation as their eldest daughter. For my younger brother too, as I'll be helping to fund his college expenses. Aside all those reasons, I think the main part that played in me refusing to take art for college is that during the time that I pursued Animation at my senior years of highschool, I went through severe burnout. I stopped drawing for a really long time. It's funny because the lights we shone, burn us out indeed.
I'm rly needing Eden right now... I just need to escape from this world for awhile....
some would kill for you
Same...Hard times man
yea
Raven Fire most accurate comment on the internet
Raven Fire my life
It's 2020 and I still regularly come back to this song it's just so perfect
Such a short a simple song but still to this day, one of my favorite EDEN songs
There's not enough time in the day to listen to EDEN and not enough tabs on my computer to discover all his songs and covers
install 32gb of ram...you will be able to open ~500 tabs more than enough
@NazD time is also an illusion so no reason to worry about that either
I don't know how heaven is going to be, but I hope you'll be there for me to hear you for the rest of my eternity.
+CheekyScrubLord This a thousand fuckin times.
+LoL DeadBrush ❤❤❤
Im just hoping there will be a heaven...
For the sake of those who love this song too much that they want to sing. This is for you: I find it funny The lights we shone burn us out So I just keep runnin But I cant catch this horizon It's always just further than I know it never ends I fear what I'm dreaming of And know.. It feels like heaven when you are lost And it feels like I'm out of time And it feels like an end I cant overwrite No, not this time In the beginning We always dream to be where we are now The human condition we chase lines that we redefine So close but still so far I'm falling apart Want to be the world forgot I know.. It feels like heaven when you are lost And it feels like I'm out of time And it feels like an end I cant overwrite And it feels like I'm watching my childhood dreams just fade and die Oh we grow old But never learn to say goodbye.
+Acensioner Banshee Spade - Want to be what the world forgot*
This lyrics wasnt from mine :3
Should edit it though. Some might not catch the mistake. :)
+Hella Speed and?
i believe that its "and it feels like heaven when you are alone" btw sorry so late
Most underrated Eden song probably of all time
i agree
Ok
Coming up on ten years of this amazing song, EDEN has been able to compose timeless music for me, and his music has saved me like other artists have saved their fans he brought me out of the darkest phases in my life and I feel gratitude towards him for being able to be the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you EDEN
"Yeah, I know, it feels like heaven when you are lost" can't describe how this part makes me feel, it's just... oh EDEN 💜
+Sara Valbão Almost brings me to tears...
Any thoughts on what this song is about? The way I interpreted it, I think he's trying to say that the older we get, the less goals, dreams, and aspirations we have. Some dreams come true (graduating, getting married, whatever), some we realize will never come true (be a millionaire, visit every country in the world, whatever), and still others we realize we never truly wanted (maybe we thought we wanted to be Doctors but changed our minds in the end). Regardless, as we get older, our childhood dreams "fade and die"... but even though we continue to watch our dreams die, it never gets easier to give up on them or accept that they'll never come true - "we never learn to say goodbye." Thoughts from anyone else?
That's an interesting thought, my view was sort of similar. My interpretation of it was that we all have dreams, but sometimes our dreams are too high and unattainable, and because we're never able to reach what we wanted/expected from ourselves, it destroys us, like in "The lights we shone burn us out" and "I fear what I'm dreaming of". And that's also how our dreams eventually "fade and die", except we're never able to let go of what we dreamed of achieving (like what you said). And maybe also another thing might be that the dreams we do manage to realise, aren't good enough because we always want more. But hands down one of my favourite songs from TEP/EDEN
Epitome That's an interesting interpretation. Now that you mention it, I think that having dreams that are "too high and unattainable" is definitely one of the themes of the song. Thanks for discussing. This is honestly my favorite song from TEP/EDEN
Yeah EDEN's lowkey songs like this and "Soul" and "and" really stick with me. Was a good study break for me :)
a friend of mine who could sing and play this had a very inspiring interpretation. that eden is telling the story through the eyes of a man who is terminally ill and wants to do what he can before time runs out and about how he comes to terms with his inevitable death. strangely enough, this friend of mine had this exact same story. he was terminal.
crap, this is late but sorry man
i like how eden's voice suits the guitar play
Yup, and the way the backing guitar sounds...is beautiful.
i gotta tell you man.... I FUCKING LOVE PARAMORE
Bawchi ayyyy lol. I'm excited for their album/tour this year.
Dot When you play it on guitar you literally make everyone fall in love with eden
I swore I watched every single one of Eden's videos I missed this one, and this one is definitely one of my new favorites
yeah i missed this song too for so much time at once but it became one of my favourite of all the eden's ones, along with gravity, wake up, start//end and so much otherssss :D Also the new ones (2 latest releases) are wow
Same
still loves this song omgg 😭😭😭
"we grow old, but never learn to say... goodbye." This line just made my heart sink and gave me the feels ;-;
I know EDEN almost like 6 years and thats my first time listening to this. This song took me 6 years ago and i start crying.. there is saying " I wish there is was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.
I LISTEN TO THIS EVERYDAY
The goodbye always gets me
Damn it... Too much feels T^T But I have to be honest... Eden Project never fails to hit me with awesomeness
All aboard the feels train!
Years since I've heard it, had the itch to listen to a song I couldn't remember the name of... Instantly remembered almost every word and inflection by heart. He really needs to rerelease this one
This is the first song of his I listened to. I remember feeling so inspired to write after listening to it. I've gone to three concerts of his since then, finished high school, got my drivers' license, went to university and dropped out a couple of months ago to work on my creativity. Turned 21 today, but I don't know what to do with my life. I'm sitting in my room talking to my online friends and playing games, but I have to figure out what to do with myself before the next school year starts. It saddens and amazes me how this song that once inspired me has become something I finally properly understand the meaning of because I'm in a similar situation.
I love the Eden project.
There's just something about a song when you get lost in a trance and stare at one point; not moving any muscles at all and you just stare blankly at a wall. When a song does that. Jesus
+keegan lastowsky Pls, stop reading my mind.
Words CAN make you feel something.
This is Eden's most underrated song. But I think its the best.
Same
Yeah agreed man
This song will be on my theoretical list of greatest songs even in 2040.
His best song, the guitar, lyrics and vocals are just amazing
2020, and there still isnt a better vocal artist, the love i have for his angelic voice, i can not explain, have a great year everyone
2022 now and I'm still here to hear this masterpiece from 7 years ago. I really love this song
I remember when this was first uploaded I was going through a dark time this song really helped me. I wanna give my younger self a hug.
why tf isnt this guy the biggest artist on the planet
he turned down contracts that would make him big because he didn’t want to turn into a product.. he respects himself and his music and decided that fame and money wasn’t the most important thing to him.. i read that somewhere.
@@Sylvaard you can tell he cares about quality.
Everyone loves the Eden Project, all of Koala's most popular videos are TEP songs, its shame he retired the name, hopefully he releases some new music soon.
Paragon Trayn he what?
jomari YT He's changing names. His new name will be Eden now.
Paragon Trayn He's currently working on a collab with Crywolf ;)
Paragon Trayn Well, the new music hes doing is freakin amazing
ZypoHD For sure, End Credits completely blew my mind. Currently my favorite song by Eden :]
this song became my favorite song by Eden today, and the song turns 6 today.
it hit 1 mil, so happy as this song is amazing
I find it funny The lights we shone burn us out So I just keep runnin But I cant catch this horizon It's always just further than I know it never ends I fear what I'm dreaming of And know..

the guitar makes me want to cry ;( beautiful song
Another year passes and this still easily remains in the top 5 best songs ever made. Why this isn't on Spotify, I may never know, but this is a masterpiece. Thank you, Eden, for making music for us. Thank you Koala Kontrol for posting it. Now all we need is him to change his mind and make a studio version of his song 'Amnesia' and my life will be complete
One of my favorite Eden songs ever✊🏽
"It feels like I'm watching my childhood dreams fade and die." This really hits you right in the heart.
Thank you Koala. If it weren't for you I would have never meet my favorite artist of all time. And I can't describe how much of an effect his music has had on me. Thank you Koala.
When I'm programming or designing something EDEN is always my go to playlist...creativity just flows out me and its relaxing, makes me feel like im not even working.
fucking same dude. beginner programmer here, learning html/css :)
Always keep coming back to this song. Such a classic from early high school for me.
This song takes me BACK man. I haven’t heard it in years until now. I forgot how much I love this song.
I'm seriously concerned for the 4 people who disliked... Just saying
IMJWHITE Haha, me too. Maybe they need their ears checked? :D
+IMJWHITE I think they have read "dis I like" ;)
+IMJWHITE Maybe they thought "Wait, this is too good, if Eden gets too much support he might take over the world" which I am fine with btw
Honestly, I feel that most people have grown too used to songs that mostly portray sexual actions and lose the true meaning of music. EDEN has really created music from the heart, lyrics with meanings, lyrics we can relate too. EDEN really shows us what music really is and can be.
Thank you so much for existing. This channel has introduced me to so much. The music you've shown me has helped me, has saved me before.
Man... Take me back.
The Eden Project has never failed me yet. In fact this may be my new favourite song by them!
Him*. EDEN is created by one guy from Dublin.
Death Of A Dream EDEN I find it funny, the lights we shone, burn us out So I just keep running, but I can't catch this horizon It's always just further than I know it never ends, I fear what I'm dreaming of And I know, it feels like heaven, when you are lost And it feels like I'm out of time And it feels like an end I can't overwrite No not this time In the beginning, we always dreamed to be where we are now The human condition, we chase lines that we redefine So close but still so far I'm falling apart, want to be what the world forgot And I know, it feels like heaven when you are lost But it feels like I'm out of time And it feels like an end I can't overwrite And it feels like I'm watching my childhood dreams Just fade and die Oh we grow older, but never learn to say Goodbye
everything I have never been able to put to words. eden, you are the voices in my mind and the system around me.
This is very beautifully written song, and gosh, he has such an amazing voice.
Can't get enough of this song....
simply just a beautiful song with a beautiful meaning. i always come back to this...
Coming back to this after 5 years and wow there are tears. This song still hits me hard 😭
I seen the title and was like: "What???? An Eden song i've never heard of before?" But then I seen that i've liked this video before. When did I do that?
In the first 5 seconds i knew that i will cry hearing this song. Eden is a legend!
In a few days this upload was 5 years ago and that also marks my fifth year since I first started listening to EDEN. This guy brought so much extra to my life, thank u John 💙
2 AM... 2 years since... yet I find myself here. Listening to this. Hoping I’ll find that light in the dark... thanks EDEN.
Can't believe this is my first time hearing this song... Fucking magical
Sean Aitken you still enjoy it as much, looking back, now 2 years ago? after four years i can say i sure do love it so much still.
A treasured tune by EDEN.❤
his voice is literally so magical...whenever i listen to his voice i smile and it makes me hoppy :)
I can't put into words how this song makes me feel each time I listen to it. A torrent of emotions. Not an ideal description, but as close to the truth as possible. It makes me want to cry but the tears don't come.
this song makes me cry everytime.
Dzmdls same
Wtf this was posted in 2014 and I'm here in 2016 watching this :/
me too :v
same here... :/
I know right
... And?
Lelsleyur, be a little bit less rude.
Eden is just so soothing its helps me mentally through the rough times its just amazing
I keep coming back to this song, and every time it's breaks me apart😭❤️ EDEN make me feels things that I've never thought I could feel❤️😭
This should honestly be the most viewed video on KZhead. EDEN is so talented and this song is so amazing.
No song is deserving of the most views. Because no song is that good.
none that I've heard especially.
I can't stop playing this song on the guitar, or crying when it comes on. I have an idea for a music video for this that reflects the song's true meaning, but I don't have the money or time to. *cries*
rosze Please say
DO IT please, or share it, or raise funds
i will never let this song go. it's like finding an old locket somewhere you didn't realize you left it. i just want to keep it close to my heart and remember it completely
The combination of the guitar and his voice is just beautiful.
TheEdenProject is not music,is life♥♡♥♥♡♡♡
I feel so bad that all the EDEN PROJECT songs are down on spotify.
ive felt like this before. sang it out loud and cried.. years later-- i sing it now and i cry because feeling this way is over.. i cant tell if i miss the feeling/maybe i am relieved that the feeling is gone or knowing that being lost was the best part of my life
so beautiful!! can't expect any less from EDEN!!
Holy crap this is amazing.
Oh the feels from the ending lyrics
"goodbye"
Thank you Eden I needed this today
This song is gorgeous in a lot of different ways. It brings out a lot of emotion. It’s a very well done song ♥️
2023 represent ✊
2024🤝
