To me this song is about loss and the nostalgia for that which can never be replaced. It can be many things, a friendship, a death, a relationship, a place, a house that was lived and is no longer. A space, a street, a tree, all the places where memories were conceived and live on in our beating hearts of blood and bone and marrow. Time is fluid and endless and is cyclical, our souls are eternal yet we are trapped in a present plane where we must keep moving forward, pushed ahead by the hands of time. It’s very fitting that this film is at night, to me the night represents the safe haven for our secret dreams, broken hearts and longings for things which we will never speak in the light of day. I often sit in my car under the streetlamps and the moonlight, waiting in the stillness after the heady chaos of day, where finally there is rest to muse, muse on the wondering of existence and this human life of mine. What does it all mean, the pain, the suffering, the ultimate sting of death. I need the silence of night to ponder it all..

Back in 2014 my mom passed away I was 16 at the time and didn't want to live anymore i felt alone with dark thoughts of suicide. I was watching Byron during all these thoughts. Something told me to dm him so i did. He replied to my dm and told me it was never worth taking your own life, and that there are people himself included that cared about me and that my pain i was feeling would just go to the other people that cared for me. Needless to say he saved me and i wish i could have helped him like he helped me. Rest easy and peaceful Byron we will never forget how much you cared for others.

for anyone who's interested. the audio sample at about 4:30 is taken from one of Alan Watt's eastern meditation lectures. it says
"The experience you are having that you call ordinary everyday consciousness, pretending you're not it; that experience is exactly the same thing as it, there's no difference at all... And when you find that out you laugh yourself silly."
there's more which is hard to make out but it's all taken from "you are the eternal universe" by Alan Watt's. a beautiful speech.

Words can't explain how much Byron meant to me. I looked up to him.. he was like a superhero to me. I always knew that even though he was everything i aspired to be he was also struggling with the same problems that i struggle with. He was one of the real ones. He didn't put on a show to please others. He was just himself even if he didn't like himself. He was vulnerable with all of us this whole time. That speaks for itself. With all that said i have a short story to share.
Byron was the reason i made a rogue in world of warcraft. I wanted to be just like him. I made a rogue on tich and at around level 30 or so i was in org and there he was.. my idol was literally right in front of me jumping around on a mount by the pvp vendors. I thought 'oh man should say hi or something'.. but i was thinking 'ah he'd never respond'. I decided to to just say hi anyways. I remember exactly what i said. i said "hey reckful im a huge fan i really love your streams. i made a rogue because you make it look so fun but im pretty bad at it right now haha. anyways just thought i would say hi".
I sent it thinking it would just get lost in spam. After a few seconds i watched his character stop moving. I froze. 'could he be reading my message?!'. A few moments later he replies. "hey thanks man thanks that means a lot. what about rogue are you having trouble with?". I was in absolute shock. He actually responded to me. I quickly wrote back that i was so happy he responded and told him how little i knew about the class and this man took about 15-20 mins of his time teaching some random noob how to play the class that i still play today.
You were a beautiful person Byron. Im so sorry things ended up the way they did. I love you man <3

I'm a doctor and I was listening to this song after working 20hs non-stop, with 4 more hours of work ahead of me. I was sitting alone, eating dinner at 4 am watching the window, and somehow the true meaning of this song clicked. It's an indescribable meaning of nostalgia, derealization, and calm. It's truly a window into a place I've never been before, but somehow feels really familiar...
