None of the tracks have made me cry, but I can see how some of them can make you cry if you are in that certain type of moood, but then I think its more the mood than the BOC tracks in particular that make you cry...Tears From the compund Eye is a real beauty and Farewell Fire is also really melancholic. But the closest any artist has ever been to make me cry of just the music it must be Brian Eno (and Harold Budd), the whole Ambient 2: The Plateaux Of Mirror album makes me so sentimental and nostalgic that I feel almost pain in my stomack, I been close to crying a lot of times to that one... :sad:

 

But seriously why these tracks!?

A Is To B As B Is To C

& . . . . . . . . . Magic Window!

 

Explain :grin:

Jesus wept

 

I used to hear "jesus wept" in An Eagle In Your Mind, even though it doesn't say that. Listen to it around 02:27.

 

Also, this thread is what happens when emo people find out about Boards of Canada.

I don't like emo and I'm not really emotional, that's why I was curious. Autechre's is my second fav band.

You need to calm down and stop dicking up this subforum, Mr. Mekon.

 

I initially though this thread was ridiculous, but then remembered I'd actually cried during "Satellite Anthem Icarus". For some reason, the first little synth melody that came in reminded me of my dad. I had this vision of him getting old and dying, with the two of us somehow going seperate ways and forgetting each other. I was so upset by it, I called him the next day. Invited him down to the farm, and we went for a long hike in the woods all day together.

 

HAY GUYS THAT'S A TRUE STORY ROOT THAR. YESSIR.

Don't know if a BoC track has made me cry, but I got over a bad breakup by listening to Kid For Today on repeat. I find that track and 5-9-78 the most soothing tracks I can think of.

 

Come to think of it, Slow This Bird Down almost made me tear up the other day.

zoetrope - not sure why

 

kiteracer 2 - makes me remember being a little kid

 

farewell fire - you know that feeling you get when you're with a person and you won't ever see them again? you just kind of know somehow it's the last time? this song is that feeling in music form for me

Strange, Farewell Fire just gave me that feeling for the very first time today. Sometimes you just can't even play that shit cuz you feel like you'll just snap if you give yourself over to the melody.

 

Probably got it because I'm transfering out of NYU's business school Stern to Tisch, their performance arts school to study cinema and film production. That's a change Tischies and Sternies are opposites.

 

But that's BoC: analyze every aspect of their music and you'll find diametrics in everything.

 

Once, I went 6 months listening to absolutely nothing but their discography, mainly Geogaddi. Not a fanboy but the music just hypnotised me. Went literally two weeks with two hours of sleep with Geogaddi, amphetamines, and Jamba Juice in my fucking lunchbox right in the middle of the semester. Did some of the craziest shit that month, good lord jesus

Cool, I have several friends in Tisch, I think they all graduated last year though

 

My friend and I think the Business building is the most menacing thing ever, just belching smoke and producing greed
