This sounds like the perfect summer night during my childhood. We lived out in the woods so it was loud as hell frogs and crickets. I can almost feel the humidity and the gentle breeze that would blow through at night. This is so nostalgic and soul soothing.
As a Southern Native, these sounds are music to my ears. I love hearing the symphony of crickets, cicadas, river splashes, owls hootings, bullfrogs and toads wailing, and a bat's cry. It's always strange to not hear them during the winter and early spring.
Manic Depression is no joke, folks. These sounds have given me as much peace and calm and comfort I could find in my condition. I go to sleep to this and wouldn't trade this for the world right now. It's not completely alleviated my pain...but it's done more than anything else in existence right now.
This reminds me of 2013 when I went to Senegal to visit my family. We stayed at my aunt's house and this is the sound we heard every night right after dinner. We all sat on rocking chairs and talked until we were too sleepy to hold a conversation. Then my aunt will tap us and tell us to go to bed. We would sleepwalk to our beds. The beds were so comfy because my aunt used 3 different sheets and a comfy blanket. The next morning, we helped my aunt and cousins prepare for the day. We fed the chickens and sheep. Swept the whole house and waited outside for the bread cart to come. We would eat french bread with butter and strong black coffee. One of the most peaceful summers of my life. I miss Senegal so much.
Everybody here is from the south, and they're getting all nostalgic about home, and I just like frogs.
I just moved from the deep south to Salt Lake City, UT, and one thing I didn't count on was the absence of nightly noisemakers. It wasn't so bad in the wintertime, but now that we're getting into summer, something has felt off. I recently realized that there are no cicadas, crickets or bullfrogs indigenous to this part of the US... so nights here are dead silent. I'm used to nighttime sounding just like this, even in the suburbs. Thanks for this little slice of home.
The sound of the swamps of florida. I was born by the ocean and loved falling asleep to the waves crashing while seagulls would caw and you'd occasionally hear a boat horn. When we moved further south into a real swampy rural part of florida the frogs and rain and cicadas and crickets were so insanely loud to me but it mesmerized me. Laying down in wet grass staring up at a clear starry sky as fireflies whiz around in the air. I love the dualty of the places ive been from crisp ocean breeze to sweet humid air, nature is gorgeous.
I use this beautiful soundtrack to help get my little 4 year old boy to sleep, we whisper in the dark about all of the different sounds.. it’s fantastic, Thankyou so much.
Does anyone else put this on for sleeping -- but then end up listening to it all day, too? This sound of mother nature has disappeared from the concrete canyons of big city life -- and this brings it all back.
This reminds about what we are really searching for in life..It's actually the small things, retrieval of lost memories which makes life beautiful. Keep them close once you find them.
I was born in Siberia but lived most of my life in Finland, so to me, a person who always lived in the northern regions, these sounds are very exotic, i can clearly sense these sounds comes from regions which are very warm and humid, where all sorts of different life just flourish.
I can FEEL the humidity through this video! :)
I'm currently sitting in my room at 1:06 AM Central Standard Time, and this is what I needed right now. My mind has been nothing but a chaotic battlefield with so much noise and confusion that I couldn't think straight. I'm an hour into the video and I haven't been able to think this clearly in the past five years. Having grown up in the outdoors I've always sought out my peace and refuge in the woods or the swamps, listening to the music that Mother Nature provides for me when I climb into the branches of an ancient White Oak, or slowly walk through a creek bed, listening to the babbling water running by as I scan the banks for signs of critters passing through the area. The songs of tree frogs tells me that the rain is coming, and soon I find shelter under a mighty hickory, as the rain makes a beautiful harmony falling through the canopy of leaves over my head, before eventually falling down on my shoulders and hair. A catfish comes to the surface, grabbing a waterbug with a deep resounding "Bloop" as it gulps down its food before disappearing to the bottom of the waters. It all comes together as the best therapeutic experience I could ever ask for, and I found that experience here again in your ambience video. I needed this so much I don't have enough words to describe my thanks to you for having this video available to us. I am eternally grateful to you, my friend. I raise my glass to you. To your health, your future, and may you always find success in your endeavors, and may happiness abound wherever your journeys might lead you.
My girl and i are quarantine camping in my livingroom in a tent listening to this. She fell asleep and I'm thinking of the day we can do this for real
As a Southerner, listening to this is like going home. My whole body relaxes. All the little critters singing their night time songs. It’s so calm and peaceful.
My daughter and I listen to your videos nightly. We each make up a story revolving around what we hear. It helps us both relax for bed or after a rough 3 year olds meltdown. Thank you so much for all the worlds you create.
This is so beautiful. I'm going to play this for my houseplants 🌱👍
I wish I was inside that cozy cabin!
This WAS my childhood. A fan, the windows open, and these sounds coming from the outside. I love it. Wish it could last longer than just 3 hours!
