Aphex Twin - Stone In Focus

To all of you lovely people, Aphex Twin has officially released this on streaming platforms. What a time to be alive.

I’m lying down next to a girl that I think I’m falling in love with. She’s asleep and I’m listening on my headphones. Life is good and also weird and also confusing and I’m also unsure. What a trip

I’m 41. Been married for 15 years, have two daughters, own a home, decent paying job. And it’s all happened in the blink of an eye. Seems like just yesterday I was a jackass 23 year old without a responsibility in the world. This song sums up how I feel when I look back at everything, how it’s all unfolded, and how it all had to happen (even the bad stuff) the way it did for me to have the life I do today. Life’s a trip, what might seem like something small today is leading you down your path to where you’ll be, and you can’t even realize it (yet). If you’re young and reading this, live it up and enjoy it, you’re in “the good old days”. You never know where today’s decision or minor detail is taking you. And you’re gonna be 41 too before you know it.

I can't believe this is finally on streaming services, although I'm still going to come back here every once in a while. Again, I wish you all the very best.

This is how it feels to not know if you’re getting better or worse and you’re stuck between wanting to keep fighting or just let go

This is how it feels when a good day ends and you know you will remember this day often in the future.

Today I was found not guilty for a crime I didn't commit, it's been a brutal 6 months and this song came in my feed. With that and reading the comments, it made me tear up and value my life more

Aphex twin finally released this gem across platforms today, what a day!

YouTube comments are so beautiful when you think about it. Especially on videos like this. Here we are, all of us strangers, sitting together with this gentle song as we leave little pieces of ourselves for others to discover. Here I am part of something much bigger than myself. Here I see others out from under the guise of an introduction or a first impression. We can simply leave things of ours such as our thoughts, our wisdom, or stories for anyone else at all who might appreciate and just now I find that so beautiful. Thank you for reading this little piece of me.

This is not just music. It’s like a blank canvas, upon which we can paint our emotions, thoughts and stories.

i think most of us don’t realize how technology has changed us and how intertwined and connected we became. the total opposite is being said, we are being told that we are losing connections bonds with people but here we are millions of total strangers gathering in a comment section offering a look from a small window to our lives. we come together to tell our story, share our pain and cherish our good memories. we are human and we are connected. it is incredibly hard for me to live a life where i dont stop and think about the others who walked on the same streets as me or drank from the same cafe as me. it is exhausting at most times but sometimes it can be comforting. i go through the comments read bits and pieces of you guys’s lives and i smile, i get sad with you or i relate to your struggles. then when its time i like your comments and wish you the best. to all the strangers out there reading mine comment, have a wonderful day❤

I’m a 22 year old single father. I lost my job a couple days before thanksgiving and have just finally gotten a new one. I’m falling in love for the first time since the mother of child left us for alcohol over a year ago. I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. I’ve regained my love for reading. I have picked up new hobbies. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been even though I’m in the most stressful position I’ve ever been in. Things get better. Life has a billion small joys that must be sought out. Keep going and you can find them.

I like to imagine that, here, at the comment section, we just gather around this music and share bits of ourselves. Total strangers, who happened to cross each other's ways by bumping into this random, yet special, piece of art.

Came home from uni today. Took a walk through the woods, past the spot I had my first kiss, the place I used to smoke at, and the spot I tried to take my own life. Just watching the water move at it’s own pace and my breath in the cold was true peace life can be beautiful bros

Currently recovering from two emergency brain surgery's. Sitting in my garden with a coffee on a beautiful sunny morning, sun on my face, breeze gentle blowing the trees, birds chirping and singing, the distant sound of cars going by all add more beauty to this track. Happy to still be here 🙏🏻

Just discovered this gem today, October 28, 2023. I'm at a point of my life where I am still unsure about what next steps I should take. Hearing this, atleast for a couple of minutes was pure bliss. I guess I needed the break. Hopefully in the next time I check into this song, I have life figured out- or maybe at least have a sense of direction. Best regards to you future self!

My mom has cancer. Since everyone is sharing. I’m 22. About to open my first office and have my first employee. Just recovered from a seizure. I’m not stopping. I’ll make my mom proud. I wish you the very fucking best.

Sometime earlier this year, me and my twin brother, when we couldn't sleep, would get dressed and go on a walk, usually starting at some time just before 5 AM. Everything was calm and still, like him and me were the only living souls on the planet. We would walk and chat bullshit until roughly 6 AM, when we would head down to the local corner shop and buy a drink, then head home. Every day me and him did this was cloudy and foggy, and I would have this repeating either in my head, or through my trusty wireless earphones. I will stand by my word that those few days I'd did that with him is a very brief period in my life to remember forever.
