Bliss. How could you feel something different ?
The dot of light has enlarged and looks like a magma of purity, glowing at you. The door to your destiny, somewhere else in the universe.
The strings orchestration takes a dramatic mood, slowly building up and leading to the imminent climax of the track, and most probably of the whole album.
You let your body be attracted towards the light, giving yourself to the gravity and hanging legs, arms and head down. Just a moment to go.
Glitchy sounds happening left and right, up and down, forward and backward at random times picture the static electricity increasing in the air. Potential differences create electric arcs all around you, just like it is charging the sphere of light in front of you. The percussions appear at 3:25, simulating explosions after some areas couldn't sustain the amount of energy emerging from everywhere.
You feel your mind reaching the transcendence you waited for so long, being in accord with time and space.
Choirs, strings, percussions, bass lines, each element is in harmony to finally resonate with the luminous passage to the other world and open the path you need. But the closer you get to the gates, the slower you move, just like you tried to cross the horizon of events near a black hole. But you won't stop. Not now. " Are you worth to get past these boundaries? ", asked the Giants? Yes, you know it now.
The ultimate seconds merge all the sounds before the epic final explosion of the gong, your goal. One try, 6:54… Two tries, 7:01… The third is the good one at 7:08, and propels you to an other dimension, where noone else can get.
Black out. But not silence. Distant male choirs, a cold breath of wind and what sounds like a ringing phone fill at a low volume the rest of the track, until we close the book of this incredible mind trip that is Night Falls.

Дата загрузки: 27 мар. 2011 г./// Jóhann Jóhannsson // Fordlândia 2008 /// — «I recorded the track with a 50 piece string orchestra in Prague, after recording it first with my regular band in Iceland, in a faster version similar to how we play the song live. It worked in concert, but failed to come alive when recorded so I decided to drastically change it and re-arrange the piece for a large orchestra. I recorded some pipe organ and the low frequency guitars towards the end in a cavernous church in Drammen, Norway. The ending is a 5 minute long continous ritardando, quite possibly the longest one ever on record, should anyone care...»
