I feel I need to share my experience hearing this piece for the first time since it made such an impact on me.. I was in the car with my two daughters (5 and 8 years old), we had parked outside a grocery store and my wife was inside the store at the moment. The kids were in the back seat fighting over a toy and my temper was just about to run out, when I got a notification on my phone saying that Louis Cole's latest track was about to go live on YT. I turned around and told my kids to "stop fighting and listen to this new Louis Cole track with me instead!". Since my kids also like LC they actually stopped fighting and we looked at the 10 second count down on my phone together. The video started and I was completely blown away! None of us said a word during the whole three and a half minutes the video was playing! When the video ended I felt really emotional and had tears running down my cheeks when my oldest daughter calmly and sincerly said "That was really beautiful...". Her words went straight into my heart and for this moment I am forever grateful! Thank you Louis! Your talent, artistery and uniqueness is something that rarely comes around and we're so lucky that you wan't to share it all with us, from this masterpiece to the stuff where you're ”just” clowning around… I hope you are feeling better, cuz if there is someone who deserves complete wellbeing, it's you. Take the time you need, we’ll be here patiently waiting for you when You are ready to praise us with your creations.

I can recall a rather recent interview of Louis where he talked about the 4th movement of Mahler's 5th Symphony being one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I didn't know that symphony, so I gave it a listen and boy, the 4th movement indeed pierces right through your soul. And once you have listened to it, you can feel it shine through "nothing". Same kind of awestruck nothingness. Thanks Louis. Your music has helped me beyond words, and I know I am not the only one out here thinking that. nothing is a masterpiece.

"whats making you cry?" *sniff* "nothing..."

Can't wait to eventually hear Cole's Symphony No. 1.

Louis’ orchestral writing has gotten sooo incredibly good. This is absolutely beautiful There are still very distinctive “Louis” elements.. phrasing and chords that def identify this as his and tie it back to earlier songs but this is a standalone piece of beauty Well done Louis.. i’ve loved seeing and hearing your work grow and mature and I can’t wait to see what’s next

Nothing, just a heart-wrenchingly beautiful homage to Mahler from one of the most talented musicians of the 21st century. Playing this piece was very, very special.

Louis Cole would've been a world famous composer had he been born 300 years ago

I have "Everything", "Things", "Night", "Let It Happen" and "Nothing" on constant replay and I am slowly converging on the meaning of life. Thank you for your talent, beauty and wisdom, Louis.

That shot of Genevieve eyes closed just experiencing the music made me feel overcome with calmness for some reason.

Imagine composing and arranging something like this, and then hearing it be performed for the first time by an orchestra. That must be so heavenly.

Doesn't matter if he's in a port a potty or a concert hall. Dude just has it!

Louis Cole has made and continues to make history in music with his unparalleled talent for conveying sensitivity. An artist I would call a genius, someone who will be remembered for a long time... This symphony gave me chills...

This is Louis Cole becoming a musician for the generations. What a delightful and timeless piece.

He's evolving, and we're lucky enough to be along for the ride. What a beautiful day to be alive.

Someone hire Louis to score a film, I'm begging

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard in my life. Goosebumps, that heavy feeling on the chest and that warm feeling behind your eyes right before you cry, that's all triggered just by these three and a half minutes.

Thanks for writing a song about the thing that'll stop us from listening to Louis Cole

tons of academic composers over there but here I am, listening to this absolute masterpiece entirely written by an LA drummer and the tears are standing in my eyes

The world is a mess but some make it a better place. Thanks Louis❤

On very rare occasions, immortality is condensed into <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="205">3:25</a> minutes.

From playin in the back of a van throughout the San Fernando Valley to this. 🤌👌

I've had such a busy frantic day and I just stopped for a minute and listened to this and time stood still.

Can't wait to hear nothing.

Love this one so much

You can hear just the tiniest little mote of Shallow Laughter in this, and that just makes it all the more extraordinary.

Louis, never stop making music please, you're THE GOAT

Unironically one of the greatest musical talents of our age. Thank you for this. Thank you for everything with Knower. You're proof that the arts can thrive even when the world wants mass appeal and easy wins. Thank you.

Love that shot of Louis at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="176">2:56</a>, I wonder how he's feeling at this moment.

Louis, you've outdone yourself this time. Please, never stop making your music. You have so much beauty to give to the world. ❤

Do you ever feel like you are one of the great musicians that will be appreciated most hundreds of years after their lifetime?

I think this might be the most beautiful string writing on Earth. Whenever I feel disillusioned with music from now on I’ll listen to this. It refreshes me.

Thank you so much Louis, Genevieve, and everyone else. In recent years it's gotten very difficult to find anything to look forward to, but I know that as long as you guys are here I can at least feel ensured that my favorite musicians will keep creating beautiful art. Thank you. Now I need to go listen to Park Your Car On My Face to prevent myself from crying.

Nothing could make my day better.😊

Two nights in a row listening to this and being brought to tears, and I want to do it again. Eyes closed, senses heightened, all focused on the sound. Amazing.

Hollywood should be begging you to score a film.

louis cole is actually just too good at writing this is so beautiful. i would give anything to go back in time and see each of these shows with the metropole orkest live

I can't stop listening to this. It is absolutely profoundly incredible. I can't say enough about Louis's talent. Genius. Genius.

This is the Overture... now bring us the Symphony. Yes Louis.

Achingly beautiful. Got your Mahler going on! Shed a tear watching just now. Such an ugly ugly time in the US and the world right now. But this, this reminds me there is still beauty. Still hope.

Louis had one of the greatest compositional minds in music history, I will never get enough of the sounds that culminate from his head. (Commented from my moms acc but had to say it anyhow)

In love with this guy... From the garage with a projector, to this... amazing!

Very very Morricone like! Once Upon A Time In America... BRAVO Louis!!! Fantastic, you learn the maestro's lesson very very well👏👏👏👏👏👏

Please write a symphony. Sublime & gorgeous. Thank you.

I'll be studying this arrangement for the rest of my life.

This is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard, period.

Nothing will fix all my issues

Get better fast Louis Cole, the world needs you!

This may be one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and I wholeheartedly believed that 'Let it happen' could not be surpassed. Well done Louis, you've done it again

Pure and beautiful. Remains me of one of those night listening to Mahler and Rachmaninov.

Bravo Monsieur Cole, quelle sensibilité profonde, émotivité , quelle beauté!!!!!!

Orchestral sax player in its natural habitat, resting

Marvelous! Very reminiscent of the crescendo in the Adagietto of Mahler's 5th symphony. If you haven't heard it, look it up here on KZfaq. It's one of the great moments in symphonic repertoire... a moving love song Gustav wrote for his wife, Alma. Louis is a seriously talented musical voice. He has the ability to uniquely reach into the heart and make us all feel what it's like to be human... emotions and all.

This made me cry so quickly. Wow. Pure beauty.

a tribute to the fallen. Austin, I know if you were still here with us, I know you'd shower your friend and musical peer in applause and praise for this musical achievement. I wish you were here to see the coronation of Louis Cole into lordship status in the jazz world

Merci, ca faisait longtemps que j'avais pas pleuré comme une petite fille avec de la musique

That was very beautiful!❤️👏

Beautiful.. Congratulations Louis Cole and thank you for sharing this sensitive musical journey!

Absolutely beautiful!

just beautiful.. seeing those who didnt have anything to perform just sit and listen was so sweet. Love this.

I can't believe I'm lucky enough to be alive and had the chance to listen to this for the first time. Thank you, Louis.

I appreciate you very much Louis. Thank you for bringing this beauty into the world.

Such an emotional nothing! I needed to hear this today, thank you!! 😢💗

Big Mahler 5 energy, love it

Well, thanks for Nothing.

Superb.

It sounds like Ennio Morricone !! 💕

We live in the same time as Louis Cole. That's wild.

i can only imagine what it must've felt like to write this and hear it being played by the orchestra for the first time

brother i'm so glad you're making music on this timeline and I get to hear it

Beautifully done!

Brilliant.

Nothing could get me to look at life as a wonderous journey again.
