Songs for the Post Apocalypse

This post-apocalypse sounds serene and peaceful rather than dark and despairing. Will we all finally find peace of mind in the shambles of civilisation?

A man tell me long time ago: "People stupid, Petyr. they do not understand what happen if we do not learn to co-exist in harmony. the world will end in fire and sorrow." we called him дядя Коля or Uncle Kolya. he was smart old man. One day, he left to go visit his son, Borscha. I never see him again. but his words always with me.

Day after day the Apocalypse stops being a fear, and turns into a dreadful hope.

The music makes me feel like i'm a traveller, a lone surviving human carrying a backpack and walking through an empty road in a city devoid of people.

"There is no peace of mind. It is either mind or peace."

Thanks for the lack of ads

I hope that, in death, I will still be able to listen musics.

We all turn to Stars. Thats a good lesson about humility.

I use this for atmosphere as I write my book.

If it sounds like this at the end, I'm okay with the end.

Once you know the truth, you're never the same.

I wish I could share the feeling this music gives me with people in my life. But they just don't understand it or they don't have the patience to dive into it. I get questions like "Is that it?" or "When does it start?". It just baffles me nobody else experiences the same or even slightly the same I do when I sit down and listen. Dark ambient and mostly this channel has made such an impact on my life that I am designing a tattoo inspired by you Simon and other artists on this channel. I can't thank you all enough for continueing this channel.

Post apocalypse is a New Beginning.

Sometimes i really want to feel that i am the only person in the world

I’m gonna say it: this is waaaaaaayy better than lofi

So many are assuming that these are songs for the fall of our civilization. They could very easily be for walking the nearly vanished ruins of the colossal yet still fading achievements of another humanity, who built with a style such as that found on Giza Plateau, Salisbury Plain, or Rapa Nui Nui.

imagine listening to this in an empty city, and nothing to have but your mind ( and this soundtrack ) ...... i would want that.

“We will be the end of ourselves
for peace and war shall never co-exist
our greed and lust for power
will be our demise”

Just a reminder before the end of the year: be sure to save this one so you have it before the apocalypse starts and you don’t have internet anymore!

Clearly the KRplus algorithm has a sick sense of humor

I always come back to this... It's especially good when you're just BLASTING it. It's so soothing and evokes this sense of emptiness or void but it's so intense at the same time. It's like a focused calm, that way.

The thing about this type of imagery is... it already is happening now.. some places left abandoned. And forgotten.

Post apocalypse refers to such a time when internet comments and notifications come to an end.

Is there a way to get the background images in a list or something? They're really cool and i wish i could get them for my desktop :)

I was walking on this road and found this journal next to the body of a kid, and it's been a year since he last wrote on this . The situation never changed but the virus got worse. after the first outbreak, the people who died on the street because of the virus started walking again . I never thought that this scene would actually happen and I am one of those lone survivors. The experience I gained from games and things I saw in movies made me this far . The only thing you'll hear is the sound of the wind , cans and plastics being blown away. I don't know when this will end, but I miss the old days where you could just work, play and sleep . I see a horde of these idiots walking towards me from a distance, so I'm going to wrap things up . I'll try to survive until someone, somewhere makes a vaccine and ends this hell .
" DIRECTED BY MICHAEL BAY "

"We've become drifters, squandering the wasteland, looking for something hold on to. Searching, for someone to light the way for us."

29:06 That transition right there... it shook me so extremely hard, it's such a dreadful and scary sound
I had to listen to it a bunch of times over and over again so it stops lingering in my head, scaring me every time at night.
10/10 this is great

When you're in the apocalypse and you're all alone except for all the animals around you
The places you once went to as a kid, is now nothing but abandoned rusty vegetation
It's all but a dying memory

pov: I'm alone... no one is still here. There are no scolding, no laughter, no voices, just silence.
I'm alone. But how I say this was not the way I wanted when I said "to be alone"...
I miss them, I miss them so much...

This room looks like the one in Tarkovskiy's Stalker... where they sit down and the rain gently starts to fall...

Something about this makes me feel all and nothing, like the deep ocean or endless open plains were condensed into sound waves

"Over everything-up through the wreckage of the city, in gutters, along the riverbanks, tangled among tiles and tin roofing, climbing on charred tree trunks-was a blanket of fresh, vivid, lush, optimistic green; the verdancy rose even from the foundations of ruined houses. Weeds already hid the ashes, and wild flowers were in bloom among the city’s bones"- John Hersey, Hiroshima. Even in death, there is life, a chance for humanity to start anew, at every end, whether it be from a great plague, or the shadow of death that is the great Atomic Bomb, there is a new beginning.

If you were the last person on Earth, does that mean that everyone is watching you?

I was playing new vegas while listening to this and i wrote this during a loading screen

Dear Diary,
It has been exactly 5 years since the accident, 5 whole years. I can't believe how long I've been alone for.
I left to search the ruins of the city today, first time I've gone outside in 2 months. I don't know why I left though, I have enough food and water in the caravan with me to last for at least another month. I guess I just thought there could still be a chance of another survivor out there, or at least some form of life.
As i stepped out of the caravan this morning, the air was so cold, so dry, so... dead. The hill was full of deceased trees and bushes, I don't know why I used the word deceased, I've never liked it.I stumbled down the slope after only a few paces downwards and accidentally cut my ankle on a rock as I was leaving, I still need to clean that up to make sure it doesn't get infected later.
As I entered the ruins they seemed even emptier than the last time I went down there, a silent hell. I still remember how full of life the city was, before the accident at least
The crumbled buildings used to be thriving apartment blocks
The abandoned park used to be filled to the brim with energetic kids
The streets filled with rubble and skeletons used to be where i would walk home from
The imploded school used to be a chaotic madland of teenagers
The very hill I live on now used to be mine and Isabel's secret spot, an escape from the busy world around us.
I miss Isabel.
For some reason I visited the school today, still looked exactly how I last saw it; two story building, flattened to the ground with some sort of eeriness to it. Kind of makes sense due to the fact it took the lives of hundreds. I can only imagine the horror my friends had to go through in their final breaths.
(I'll finish this later)

I imagine this is the music that plays when i die and wait in the lobby to respawn

Rise , flourish , then fall ..
Rise , flourish , then fall ..
Rise , flourish , then fall ..
It's a pattern .. over and over and over , for literally thousands of years .
The more complex and stable a pattern is , the higher the likelihood that pattern is of intelligent design.

Don’t you feel like it’s over already? Like we’re all dead and are slowly beginning to realize it? No new thoughts. No new world.

we're all gunna be needing this soon i feel :/

First track is a pure magic by adding these ambient guitar tunes...

What an experience.. l lay down, in the dark and just listening to it, completely alone.. that feeling i cant describe.. after one hour i felt so free as if the whole world is catchable

Your hour-long mixes help me get through my work day. I always look forward to these uploads with great anticipation. Thank you.

Living and scavenging the undergrounds of a sunken city. How blissful that would be.

I have a feeling that we gonna need this soon

it will be like this when the day comes

This looks like it once use to be a library and how fitting when the end comes it may be a place of sanctuary for those still around what a treasure to find in that time it’s so zen like

These scenarios like with all urbanity destroyed and nature growing in/on it like the skyscrappers totally corverd by plants are my favourite

Can't wait for this day to come, I am ready for this day

The music tells of the tale of the last surviving human as he recounts the various hard learned lessons that humanity learned, far too late to save themselves…..

We are all fine just the way we are.

POV: the world has become a wasteland. Barely any forests or plants that aren’t in desert-like areas are nearly completely gone, with the remaining ones rapidly disappearing. You’ve been out on the road for quite a while, feeling like you can’t go on anymore. Everything looks the same, ahead of you and behind you. But then, you find an old, run-down huge building. A laboratory. Reluctantly, you decide to walk in, feeling the surprisingly cool air surround you. You continue through the lab, finding that they had done all sorts of tests on the wasteland, and that there was no explanation for it all happening. The only thing this did was make your mood worse. But something catches your eye. You turn to it, and see four flowers blooming next to a small oasis. Life is thriving well in this wasteland. It shows that there’s still hope - hope for the world, and for you.

If a Apocalypse comes I don't think it would be a sudden disaster like say a meteor or something. I personally think it would be something that is slow in process like time but with a slow wave behind it decaying and corrupting everything it touches "like a thieve in the night"

I’m listening to this while designing my DND post-apocalyptic campaign. Honestly I didn’t realize just how impactful this could be. It’s more than just music, it resonates with the soul, it sets the mood of both solemn silence and the feeling of adventure.
This truly is an underrated playlist. Thank you.

what a good movie these songs would make ...

26:48 Beyond the Ghost - You Disappeared SUPER!

This makes me feel like a time traveller or a dimension hopper and my machine glitched out

For some weird reason, I am amazed with post-apocalyptic music, images and landscape! This music is like a therapy to me.. 😍😍😍

This video arrived in my recommandations with perfect timing... #nowar

Hallelujah ♥ 🙏 all praise and love to Jesus ♥ex Muslim here ..love you my saviour and lord my God and my one and only true love ♥🙏❤

This Post-Apocalyptic Soundtrack makes me feel like I'm a lone human in a planet of graveyards, fighting something that I cannot see nor know anything about. However, one thing is clear. I can feel that its there, just waiting for me to reveal my vulnerability.

As a person who likes to write dystopian stories, music like this helps put me in the right frame of mind. Thank you for all the hard work for an amazing channel!

stepping back into the Cryo Chamber again and waking up in a world left by humanity, these are my favorite songs, keep this up and i may never wanna leave the Cryo Chamber again

This music is so beautiful . Humans have infinite capacity. The old world is dying as we move into a parallel dimension accessed by the higher mind Our dormant DNA is stirring allowing us to be one with the united field. As someone said many many years ago. " The greatest law is love" . Count yourself lucky to live in such magical times.

No one knew when the Apocalypse ceased, when normality began to seep into our lives. Albeit nothing is the same as it was before, you can feel more despair from the people around you and sometimes you find pockets of nature within these concrete jungles that were not there before. Sometimes it feels like we never truly survived, that we lost a part of ourselves during all the chaos. Is this what it's like to survive? To survive where others have died? A question I hope never has an answer. Now I lay against the grass and peer up to the star lit sky. Hoping to find myself from all that has happened.

I’m glad other people agree that the post-apocalypse will be the most peaceful of times, made all the more beautiful because so few will see it.

This atmosphere is perfect for reading 1984

How... is everything you make... SO GOOD? Just... yes.

I can't decide whether this is calming and peaceful or depressing and ominous.

I listen to this while writing my book. It makes for the perfect atmosphere to create stories.

This image! This is what I saw while reading 'The Last Man' by Mary Shelly.

Songs for 2020! YAY...

Sometimes my life feels like an apocalyptic wasteland even if I know it's not. I just get the sense of loneliness sometimes.

I love that animations

I almost evaporated into the ether.
Its beautiful, Simply blissful !
Transports me Beyond, every listen !

finally, good songs for me to add to my minecraft world.

Darkness. You never really know a dark night until there's no lights. When the lights from your streetlamps die out and your batteries run dry; in absolute silence does fear truly lie, but most importantly... Darkness seeks light, even the smallest bit.
Protect your light.

I wish i could live for a thousand of years to see what will happen to us and to your planet, imagine living in a quiet post apocalyptic world, only you and the nature...
Btw i only can imagine the 'The Last of Us' World talking about this lol

I’m completely obsessed with your content thanks to this video. I listen to it while playing Project Zomboid. I’m months into the game and winter has set in harshly. This chilling serene music mixed with the desolate and quiet snowy world I’m wandering in have made for a surreal experience.

Love the ambience.
I could easily unroll my swag in this setting,and spend a couple of days contemplating.

As you slowly walk through the decrepit mall, your hands gripping the pistol you found off the dead cop back in the alley. To the point where it's almost painful, you wonder and hope that your alone in the vast emptiness that was once filled with sounds of happiness, children laughing, teenagers going from shop to shop with friends, adults catching up with old friends and family alike, now the only sound is the sound of the wind blowing through the holes and cracks of the old building, with a small hint of water leaking from God knows where, ignoring all this you just hope that your alone, for once a place you can rest, without having to hide, run, or fight whatever remains of humanity, 7 years, 7 long, blood filled and agonizing years of running, trying to survive, for what?, humanity is nothing but a choking fire, gasping for air, 7 years since someone finally decided to hit the big red button, and took the world with him. No one can remember who struck first, I guess at this point. It doesn't really matter, the world has moved on, humanity is nothing but ashes and smoke, the wildlife have started to recover. Various animals have started wondering the now dead, ghostly streets, much like the pandemic of 2020 14 years ago. You keep an eye on your radiation levels, you got lucky, a geiger counter wasn't cheap back in the day, then again, money doesn't matter now either, so. How lucky are you?. No sign of radiation, good thing to, hospitals were the first to suffer, even before the nukes and EMP's. After walking for a while you break from your thoughts, seeing an old fountain in the middle of the mall, with a medium sized white tail deer, a female from the looks of it, you aim your gun. Flick the safety off, and the deer bolts out a destroyed wall faster then you can blink, damn it. You forgot the safety again, this time it cost you a meal, next time it might be your life, but at this point, which one is worse?. Frustrated, you sit on the cracked fountain in defeat. And you listen, no thoughts, no distractions. It's dead silent, you sit, enjoying this silence. Before all the chaos and madness, you never really sat to listen to what the world had to say, this was the first time you actually sat down, and just listened. It's calming, almost with a sense of serenity. No cars, no phones, no work, no stress, no more worrying about rent, no more worrying about your boring 9-5 job, no more politics, nothing, just peace. But at what cost?, now the world is an empty shell, just like you. Now that you listened, you discover that maybe you, are not so different from this hollowed paradise, you wanted peace from the very beginning. And now, you, and the world finally got what you wanted.

I was listening to this at that odd moment just before night hits and dawn leaves, all the birds were flying home, the sun sort of already left and a small ginger cat was sat in the light of a street lamp. I learnt further out my window and the cat stared at me, don't know why but for a good quater hour me and the cat were just staring at eachother. The moon was a really thin crescent shape, the whole situation was pretty unsettling and eerie but kind of nice in some way or another, never experienced anything quite as odd. Don't know why I had to tell the story but I guess I just did.

is it weird that like i want an apocalypse to come

These sounds leave me with a hollow feeling in my belly. Like I've lost something that I'd never had and never wanted before this.

26:50 easily my favorite track

The background image is so cool! Love it!

Masterful.

The first soundtrack is perfect for the ending of Death Stranding with Lou.

I will put some of these into my minecraft post-apo modpack.

Really wish I could listen to this but i always fall asleep. Any of the “songs for ____ world” put me to sleep. This one is no exception. The first few minutes absolutely beautiful and I can only assume the rest is as well. This is perfect. Thank you.

This is the decline of humanity, our death finally heard us. Humanity commits suicide, and Dark Ambient requiem from stars will be last thing we will hear.
Nice mix.

Well, come back and listening to this now is.. really an experience.

There’s something so tantalizing about these tracks. I just can’t stop listening and daydreaming to them.

A post-apocalypse means the end of civilization, but not necessarily the end of man or the world...

Been waiting for this music for a long time! Your videos are perfect for background while writing a post apocalyptic book, like i do

If you were in a dark room where you could browse your memories like a picture book, this song would be playing in the background with no specific source, just filling the void....nastalgia. 09:41

Funny how YT recommends this to me now, of all times...

I listen to this video in the background of Alan Watts' lectures - very fitting!

Thank you for the inspirational music to write a Apocalyptic film script.

I could fall asleep in that room and sleep for 1000 years.

This music is perfect for my AI DUNGEON post Apocalypse roleplay.
