it's always 4am | Comforting Liminal Spaces & Ambient Dreamcore (Chillout playlist)

My wife worked in a hotel in 2019 and we ended up taking a suite to live in. Then, CoVid happened. Everything shut down and most of the hotel staff stayed home. In this large hotel, it was myself, my wife, the manager and her husband. They were on second floor, we were in the first on opposite ends. I remember it feeling like the world had ended. We had to drive to a city about 30 miles away once a week and there were no cars on the once bustling highways, nobody in the stores, just the key personnel. I still went places and did things, but felt like i was one of the last people on Earth. When night came the world was a liminal space. Anyone else have fond memories of this time?

I love this aesthetic it’s reminds me of that one quote “art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed”..it can really apply to aesthetics like this

I wish more places were open 24 hours, I just want a quiet place outside the house to go and enjoy

I love just existing and doing daily life things from 2-5 am, it’s the most ethereal and peaceful time to me😇

1-5AM is best time to game/watch anime/anything that resonates. thats the 4 hour ethereal time

I would have loved so many of those bedrooms when I was a kid. Heck, I'd probably still love them now!

Imagine waking up and seeing that it is 4 am and no matter how long you wait, no clocks change wether it is digital or analogue.. The sky outside is a oddly comforting orange or green, you can’t quite tell what color it is and the air feels like a perfect temperature for… everything?

this sounds silly to say but, liminal spaces are truly cinematic masterpieces.

I swear, nobody's playlists are so emotionally powerful.

Las Vegas 1996-2006 was a great time to find these liminal spaces

I didn't realize how much i was missing out....on all of it, once i commenced working a First shift job. 2-5AM is THE sweet spot of life

Walked through a closed mini mall a few years back. Movie theater was the only thing left. Muzak was playing. Completely empty. It was sad and beautiful. That music is like a time machine ❤

that first pic has really retrofuturist vibes

Dude this is so crazy it's actually 4am, RIGHT NOW!

THIS IS MONUMENTAL! "It's always 4am" has overtaken the first video in veiw count! I thought I'd never see the day!

Cold Neighbourhood has me imagining some tropical islands in the morning, with birds singing in the jungles, not the cold environment:)

Reminds me of David Lynch, the absolute pioneer and king of the liminal space. He invented this aesthetic long before it had a name.

Amidst the fantastical realms of dreamcore and weirdcore, find the fantasies of your own mind. Let the art be your canvas.

"Cold Neighborhood" sounds like one of those old "New Age: Music for relaxation" videos with a blurry slideshow of "beautiful" images.

Reminds me to the 'Restaurant at the end of the universe' by Douglas Adams.
