My dearest wife and I met when this song was being performed at the local theatre. When she died of cancer last month, this was the song we played at her funeral. She was only 30...

I almost shed a tear when I heard this song playing in the movie "Theory of Everything"

This song describes what it feels like when your prayers are answered, when the purpose of your life becomes clear.

I listened to this with my mom probably 6 years ago while we were drawing in the living room. We decided to draw because she finally had strength again to do something after another chemotherapy. 4 ½ years ago we played this at her funeral and it makes me cry to this day. The drawing is now hanging on the living room wall with one of the last pictures of her right next to it. Ich vermisse dich, Mama.

I feel like everyone who likes this song is automatically my friend. ahaha You're all awesome. This song cannot even be described.

This song was at the very end of the movie The Theory of Everything. The combination of the beautiful melody with an emotionally powerful scene caused me to break out into ridiculous tears. I haven't cried at a movie since I was a little kid and it's all this song's fault, dammit. 10/10 would sob again.

Usually when I cry listening to a song it's because it's sad. This is the first song for which I simply cry for its beauty. There is no right adjective to describe this felling. This song is running under a downpour with your best friend, dancing alone in a big empty room, watching the sunrise in solitude, stopping on the top of a mountain and taking a deep breath, finding that person that really completes you, whether it's a brother or a friend. This song is creating something completely on your own and being proud of that invention, it's diving into the icy water after days spent in the heat, it's embracing your grandparents and friends at the end of the quarantine . This song simply makes me think of all those things that make you feel alive and in love with life. I wish everyone all these things to happen, don't lose hope, I believe in you. (Sorry if i made some mistakes, i'm italian)

People think I am strange listening to this type of music, it's nice to know there are people sharing the same love of music with me. I love this song... the violin is so awesome.

This is an excellent example of how music can express what words cannot. When i listen to this my heart is filled with melancholy and unbearable joy in equal measure. I think we as humans need these moments where we just forget to move, forget to think, forget to be who the world wants us to be and just allow ourselves to FEEL.

I listened this song when I was 14. I was abused/molested by my father, and wanted to be free like a bird. I would cry to this song just imagining what freedom would be like. Now I’m 25, and I’m showing this song to my lover who I’m safe with. Things do get better, you are free ❤

I just read all of the comments and I love everyone here! This is like a musical happy place where everyone feels free and is willing to confess what they normally wouldn’t. I started crying because of the beauty of this trust! I am so happy for everyone and this is amazing! I hear this and I can’t think of anything but being in a vast beautiful field of flowers with only this music, me, and the one I love. Not even talking. Just sitting together and listening. Nothing could make me happier

"some strands of music will make you feel like you are no longer living the life you've been living, but rather, something new has just begun. something infused with magic and passion, mystery and adventure. and as the music progresses, this new life will bubble up inside of you and threaten to spill over the edges, out into the world where it may leave a stain of something brilliant"

I would rather be dead than deaf. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to live with music, I would have no motivation to continue living. Last year I would have attempted suicide, I was on the very edge of a deep dark cavern of nothing, then Hammock and other beautiful music made me realize there's at least someting to live for. Music is God's creation, there's no doubt, and it saved my life from the horrifying depths of depression.

I return to this video every now and again and I always go through and read everyone’s stories they’ve shared in the comments. It wonderful to see what the power of music can do within people. This track says so much without a single lyric and it evokes such depth of emotion. I first heard this in ‘The Theory of Everything’ and I was kind of changed after hearing it. It showed me the power of a simple melody. People tend to think orchestral music is for the posh. I’m glad to see so many people in the comments who just let this wash over them.

You sit by a tree. You lay back in the grass and stare into the moons core. You reflect on life and close your eyes you see the past and future. Life is beautiful dont ever forget that

"Remember to look up at the stars" - Stephen Hawking. Rest in peace.

I love reading comments on beautiful pieces of music like this. Makes me feel just as happy as listening to the music.

This is one of the songs my boyfriend loves most. He used to say this is the song that he had always wanted to play in his wedding. Now we’re in a long-distance relationship at a distance of 7000 miles apart, and because of the pandemic I don’t know when we’ll meet again. However, whenever I listen to this song, I can visualize the scene we meet again no matter in the UK outside his lab or in Singapore where we fall in love. It makes me believe that we’ll make this through till the day of our reunion, with Arrival of the Birds playing. I miss u and love u so much, AW.

After many years i have to post this comment. Forget the funny account name and profile picture. This very song was send to me by one of me dearest friends. She commited suicide exactly 2 years ago. Every time i hear this song i get tears in my eyes and break down. Please don't take life for granted and think of your family and loved ones. In loving memory of Meike. Till we meet in another life

Every time I hear this melody, I think of a woman. She's a tall, dark beauty, and she has just set foot into a beautiful forest for the first time ever. The birds and wildlife dance around her and she takes in the serenity of the landscape. The seasons pass before her as she walks through this forest, looking up toward the starry sky. Snowflakes fall, then blossoms come forth. Soon after, leaves grow and the forest is swamped in green. Eventually, they die and the process begins again. At the end of the path she walks on, is a single bluebird. She bends down to pick it up. The dream ends.

This song really does something to people. Every comment is a positive one and also it’s opens the minds of people. Just read the comments... wow I love this world.

I feel anyone who liked this song is sort of my brother or sister from another mother Love you all my siblings ⚘

this song is unreal, i can’t hear it without cry but also brings me so much peace, so damn good

"Look... what...we...made...". Still giving me tears...

I'm choking on tears here... this is incredible... This is on par with Ludovico Einaudi's "In a Time Lapse" album... this is beautiful.

Anyone in Jan 2022 ? Love and hugs for every music mate❤️

“Look. What. We. Made”✨

this is one of those fucking film songs that is just so heart wrenching I can't even deal with how powerful orchestral film scores are like .....uuuuuuughhhhh absolutely beautiful..

This is the most precious piece of music i have ever heard. This music brings so many emotions without saying a single word. Whoever composed this beautiful piece is a musical genius.❤

Does anyone else cry whenever they hear this song or is it just me?

not sad for me....goregeously complex and intriguing .....but definitely hopeful, joyful, ....beautiful

I love listening to this song because it takes me out of the ordinary world. This song, among all the pointless drivel and monotony we sometimes find ourselves pulled into throughout our lives, demands clarity, concentration and simultaneously respect and reverence for it's otherworldly beauty.

My wedding party and I walked down the aisle to this. If I can remember correctly it was at 6:09 when I revealed myself and walked myself with both of my brothers in my arms to meet the groom. This song pokes my heart

R. I. P mum this song makes me think of the good old days

"We're all different. However bad life may seem, there's always something you can do and succeed at. While there's life, there's hope" (S.Hawking). The moment I instantly shed (manly) tears.

For whatever reason, this song made me feel like I love myself. And I can't think of a better effect a song could have on someone.

I am very depressed and financially broke. I have had to borrow money from family and I feel ashamed each time. I suffer from anxiety disorder, for those that suffer from pain and disappointment, I feel your pain. I have suffered so much in my life. But each time I listen to the composition, I feel peaceful and free. It is like I can feel the good coming to me. To me this is like a message from God and the Angels telling me that you have to stay strong and keep going. What you want will come to you. God gave me what I needed to get where I want to be. I know that I need to stay on my path. But I have learned that there will always be obstacles that I must overcome. I suppose that is how life goes. You need to go through the bad to get to the good. But if you or I can overcome, then there is so much joy to be had. God bless all and my prayers go out for each of you.

Repeat this out loud: I am Great I am happy I will be successful I will achieve my goals in life No one can bring me down I am confident I am beautiful I will live my life to the fullest I will do whatever I want to do I am who I say I am and no matter what happens I will always be me I will rise I will overcome I will stand for what I believe in Today is a better day Tommorow I will do great things Today will be a great day Tommorow will be even better No one can stop me No one can get in my way My problems can not hinder me I am strong and I will try my hardest to overcome my weaknesses My enemies can not hurt me Those who hate on me can not get to me and those who stand beside me will be the ones I care about My worth is more than what you say it is My life is valuable I am who I say I am and no one can change that I am me I am your full name here and I choose to live my life to the fullest _________________________ Repeat for a confidence boost each day or when your feeling down

play this piece of art every time you meet a new city or are about to start an adventure. You will get goosebumps!

The cycle of life--the boundless curiosity of infancy, the unlimited exuberance of youth, the weight of adulthood, and the pensive reflection of old age--captured in song.

Bear bear, My beautiful pup. My protective, loving, admirable, precious boy. I remember being in the 5th grade. My father and I were sitting on my parents king sized bed with Bear. He was lying down, while my father and I sat down stroking his soft, beautiful, black and white fur. I was petting him steadily. My Father told me to slow down, and really pet him. He knew what Bear loved. My father looked at me, then looked back down at our precious German Shepherd, and told me words I would never forget, “Wyatt, this dog would do anything for you. He would take a bullet for you.” I never forgot those words throughout Bear Bears life. He loved my Father more than anyone in the world..it was a special bond that would never break. He protected me more times than I could count. Not a day went by where I came back from school and he wasn’t there to greet me at the gate. He died just a week after I graduated high school, underneath our tree filled with roses. He gave my family a chance to say goodbye to him. He didn’t have to wait, but he did...that’s the type of good boy he was. About a month after Bear Bear passed, my brother had bought a little guy named Loki. A white boxer, with a cute brown patch around his left eye. Still full of piss and vinegar to this day. We didn’t find out until later that the day Bear had died was the same day Loki had been born.. It seems so coincidental, but I believe there is reason to it. I really do. This song reminds me of my beautiful Bear Bear, and my amazing Loki. If you have a special good boy or good girl like I did/do, please know that you are their whole world, and to let them know you love them just as much as they love you. - WM

This is the best song to listen to when I’m having anxiety or just wanna feel something.

If I could I would tattoo this song on my soul.

goose bumps and tears... just this.

1. Listen to it with your headphones 2. Close your eyes 3. Think about your entire life up to this point 4. Cry Edit: guys step 4 is a hypothetical joke 😭 but I wish everyone the absolute best 💜

Arrival of the birds always give me Goosebumbs even after listening 1000 times

Am I the only person here who didn't come here because of The Theory Of Everything?

This music makes me feel like there is still hope

One day we will remember the years of the COVID, the masks, the bad times we went through...and this song will be remembered as the song of hope ❤️

Pure perfection words can not describe how it makes me feel when I hear this song.

Music has a language all its own.

If this isn't played at my funeral I'm rising from the grave and haunting my descendents

Today my dad just passed away, while looking at his picture, I found this music in my recommendation, it just make me sad but happy at the same time It's sadden me because my dad would no longer be with me anymore, but at the same time his arrival to heaven make me feel happy Until see you in jannah, pak?:)

My whole body got chills. Gosh this song brings so much peace. It gave me the feeling of walking into heaven, where there is no pain, anger, fear or loneliness. It’s beautiful.

At one of the first times I listened to this song, I was about 17 and I was waiting for my train at a railway station in Hungary. I couldn't believe to my own eyes, but within 10 long years, it was the very first time I witnessed a flock of sparrows landing on a fence. After 10 years of complete disappearance from Hungary, they finally arrived to my home town. It was an indescribable, magical moment. It was like a distant childhood memory reappearing and refilling my heart, a signal of hope from nature and a majestic moment of such a nuance in the world.

all aboard the feels train

Arrival of the Birds is amazing. When it goes up a notch, it always makes me smile

My first girlfriend showed me this in high school. It really grips the heartstrings thinking back to those times now, with all that has happened in my life to this point.. To this day I still cherish what we once had and hope the best for her.

Birth of a child, death of the mother, sorrow. Finding new hope, all in a twister of pain, joy and regret. Journey to the finish line, but which one? This song speaks to me on many levels. It's like this song took a big fishing net and cast it into my mind, catching random memories and emotions I lost. Beautiful.

Among thousands comments, mine will still be unread, but I can't help wiping my tears of joy and melancholy, and I'm not referring to the movie "the Theory of everything", I refer to every single human who told a story here below. Some tracks fill our souls with overwhelming feelings, and this one shows it. So thanks from the bottom of my heart for having shared your emotions, both the composers and the listeners.

This song allowed me to break free, let out all of my locked up emotions. I just lost someone that can never be replaced, an amazing person that has slipped from this life forever. She was so amazing, I can't even put her being into words. I heard word of her passing a few days ago, but didn't shed a tear. I was so confused as to why. But this song allowed me to break down and cry, to feel what I've been feeling. Thank you for that, thank you.

Its been 4 months since i had seen her . She just left unexpectedly due to unavoidable circumstances and now here iam , thinking about all the moments we had together. I sometimes wish we were together but alas. Do not cry because its lost, smile because it happened..

That`s what i love the internet for! Just awesome music an people telling each other how much the love it. No flaming, no hate , no insults, just a good time.

when i die, my soul will take a tour on the stars to this music

Reminds me of when I had my son. For years I believed I couldn't have children. And suddenly there he was. This song was on an advert around that time. I looked it up and listened to it in full and it fitted so well into the emotions of him arriving and adjusting to life with him.

😭😭😭 when I hear this song I feel all emotion and I remind all my close people who died, we just guests in this world and time is so fast ...

Who is here from theory of everything! Or Neil Degrasse Tyson's speech on space travel! Awesome music. Something that may seem sad to some but sounds very inspirational to me.

I have something wrong with me that doesn't allow for me to show much emotion, unless I fake it. But this song, this beautiful, yet melancholy, and yet also hopeful music moved my soul. I didn't feel like a robot for a rare moment in my life. I'm told that what's wrong with me will only worsen when I'm an adult, but I think this will defy that. Listening to this gave me emotion. I won't let that be taken from me.

Ain’t gonna say some sappy shit, instead I’m gonna leave you folks with a message. Love yourself, cause no one else in this world is gonna love you more then that.

Every time I hear this song, wherever I am and whatever I'm doing, I will freeze. I just close my eyes and listen. Whether this song is on for a few seconds or I listen to the whole thing, I just stop. It's such a beautiful sound that for a moment I can forget about everything. To me, this song is a glimpse into the beauty of life... Gives me goosebumps every time.

She told me she wanted this to be our wedding song, days before she broke my heart. This only packs more feels into this song. 10/10 would listen to again.

This song makes me so emotionally confused, it's like every happy moment of my life mixes together with the nostalgia of the past, and I end up crying. Words can not express how much this song means to me, it has always made me cry every time I have listened. It touches the soul in ways I don't understand. Beautiful orchestration, I got chills...

It hurts to see the one you really love loves someone else. But it hurts even harder when you find out that you were just their bridge to cross over to their loved ones.”

I cried with happiness as I listened to this indescribable song, it made me feel like I was loved. Like I was at home...

I can't listen without tearing up at one point or another. Beautiful.

This feeling that i have when i listen to this is truly beautiful and extraordinary. This is the kind of feeling i have when i can truly connect with the music. This is the feeling when everything else doesn't matter but music. This is the feeling that i love.

Female combat vet here. This song is everything to me. To me so many emotions. So many thoughts... both good and bad... you have one life to live. Live it to the fullest.. Im in love with this piece. It never gets old.

i listened to the song as it was the ford focus advert, my husband was at the end of life at the time, this has such a profound memory and feeling of love between us both, Stevie wright YNWA, 3 years on always in my heart and thoughts i love you xx

Oh my lord, I've been looking for this song so much, It reminds me from the lovely time i used to have with my grandmother before she passed away. All the memory stack up when i heard this song. This song is also so good for remembering why we are here and to forgive and forget. Once again, thank you for sharing!

To me listening to this song is like a prayer. I feel connected to the divine when I'm listening. This song describes a beauty that is in some ways beyond full human comprehension. A beauty so great it demands the deepest respect merely by virtue of existing.

I found this beautiful piece because it was in a car advert... I’ve never been more grateful for an advert!

This song is so special. Hits me like a punch to the gut. Just a masterpiece. Never heard anything quite like it.

A perfect ending to a masterpiece such as "The Theory of Everything". Made me cry.

That kind of music that makes you think about life...

I have no words that will do any justice to describe this, it's too powerful to even try! Every single one of us here listening, ALL know exactly what I mean ❤️

The beauty of nature, the mystery of the universe, the wonder of life, and the miracle of love. How they're connected and one and the same. And the grand journey to uncover the full picture. That's this piece.

If music could paint pictures, this would be the music that painted everything beautiful in this world.

Look, what we made

I used to play this song all the time on a stupid piano game and I always told myself I was gonna listen to it someday... HERE I AM

I’m so glad I discovered this song when I was younger. Got me through some tough times

This would make for some really good emotional movie/game scenes... God I'v never opened up to a song this much before.

"Look what we made."

This song gives me hope even when everything is down i would listen to this and i would feel so much better the world needs more like this if everyone would listen to this then the world would be so much better ~Mood

I cannot express in words how much this beautiful piece of music means to me. The second it starts playing, all my worries are gone. It fills me with sheer joy and hope for a better tomorrow. 💕

This song reminds me of the moment you die and your soul finally leaves your body as you walk into the afterlife peacefully. All of the significant memories that you've created throughout your life flashing by like a slideshow and you're finally able to let go of life, soaring into the white abyss.

i've listened to this 10 times in a row. beautiful.

The love of my life shared this with me. We never should have been together- as it was not the right time and circumstances... I listen to this daily... I know she is still there- maybe someday we will be. I made my choices and she had to live on... lies and manipulations drove her away. Our feelings were more than real; they were everything. She was everything. If only I had the courage to be someone better when she needed me to be something I was not- Symphony. I’m still here...

One day I was reminiscing on how close I was to suicide, what the repercussions repercussions would've been and how it would've affected my family while listening to this song. That night I genuinely cried my eyes out full on. The next morning I was still feeling down so I put on this song again and at 00:56 immediately like fifty something birds burst out of the trees almost directly talking to me As if to say "we know, and it'll be alright. Don't worry" It was like magic I hope my story with this song makes someone else's day like the birds did mine
