@Mathieu Morin It is what it is everyone has there preference but fr tho why you here if u hate this type of music which sounds like shit to you go on and get that negatively outta here. or did u just wanna start some controversy and have a comment war ? cause thats a hard no for me bud , you gotta take 80% off youre comment but haters gon hate i think this is a good track regardless maybe not the best but i love it cause its a nostalgia memory trip for me
I'm so curious to know how Joel must have felt when he finished Strobe in the studio. Like at the very moment when he finishes the first full playthrough. "What have I done.. what have I created.."
Just exactly like the first time.... This amazing track 1 of the 3 tracks i can listen all day every day and will enjoy every single freaking second of it.... Just amazing masterpiece by crazy ass Joel 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Me too, but not in a sad way Just because it's so uplifting and comforting kinda like a celestial force from the stars telling you "it's gonna be okay" when you're having a shit day, week, month, year, or life and you believe it.
I want to see deadmau5 perform this live, just once, before i die. Every time i hear this track, no matter how I'm feeling, it chills me out. Every time. Love this guy, love this song. Stay Awesome and Rock On, deadmau5.
This song is unlike any other song out there. there is a certain quality and emotion that not many other songs can produce. I have always said this song is a perect one to close out a set or festival. its got a nice calm build up to allow people to settle down after rocking to hours of fast pace songs and then midway through it just goes to that face pace but its more laid back and you just cant help but stand there and just bob your head to it. then it just slowly builds down and ends. The ending signals the end of the set. sure much bigger songs could have been played but this song just fits. its a finale that is enjoyable and memorable. Absolute perfection from Deadmau5.
I had this exact experience years ago when I was in 2 day full on festival and deadmau5 closed it. Many people left because there wasnt constant 'drops' like every other song and I enjoyit it so much it was almost spiritual experience.
DaftPunk and DeadMau5 are pretty much in their world of their own.... no one can match them. their ingenuity and creativity of their songs are bar none.
I saw him live earlier this year. Even when I knew he was gonna close out with this song, I still got major chills when he played it live. Just hearing the somber buildup while the people near me murmurs "this is my favorite song" and "this song is the best". It really is an experience i'm glad I witnessed live instead of just watching on youtube. I urge y'all to try and find time to watch this live, by any means. To me it's cheesy to say every music festival is life changing because it really isn't, but this song and the experience I felt is something I will never forget.
+samverywell "*To*"*,* not "too"*.* FFS (or "For fuck's sake" if you want to be technical)*,* I get chills every time *I* think about people that can't fucking write being our future (that last bit doesn't make much sense grammatically). I assume you're 16 or something?
Everytime I listen to this song, I get taken away from the hectic life and transcended into a very peaceful island, sitting by the beach with this song playing.
This sounds like the kind song you wrote when you are sad but you can't explain it, and the only way to convey the emotion, or that it is an emotion, is the tone of the keys and the progression of the track.
2012, mildly high, with bunch of friends in the aptartment, weekend ahead and this is on the sound system, no wife, no kids, no job...What a time it was, will never be back! Troy Manley, if you ever read this, know I miss you my chad man, one day we'll make this happen again! Peace to all!
My story... while driving down a country road one day while this was playing in the background. It was one of those days where it had just rained and the ground was slightly foggy as a new weather system was moving in almost as if mother nature had just power washed the earth giving us another clean start for the day. The weather was recently cold beforehand so i had the windows down naturally to feel the long overdue spring warmth on my face. I had been separated from my family for awhile now and they were on my mind. As i was thinking of how much i missed them all i was driving past by a small rural grave site. I couldn't help but notice that the newer graves up front were always covered with flowers but two old ones in the back corner that were old and falling over were left bare... sad looking, and well like time had forgotten them. At that very moment i had an overwhelming feeling that we will all end up in those long forgotten graves and i realized everything we have is right now and we all better enjoy the most out of what we have while we can before we lose our chance too forever.... when we are the long and forgotten. Never knew a simple song like this could invoke such emotions in so many different people in so many different ways.
Saw deadmau5 at Countdown 2017, what a way to end an amazing year and introduce a brand new start of a new year... Me and my love were holding each other in tears the whole time v.v
perfect, full crowd, no crowd noise, just a mouse and his perfect music. No one wants to be the one that ruins the perfect sound of this song and bring the sentiment that comes with it....
Literally an actual masterpiece being watched by people without phones and actually enjoying the moment very rare to see 😢 this song sends so many emotions words could never explain ❤
It’s ridiculous, but I can’t listen to this song without crying 🩷 My best friend and I used to get obliterated on drugs in her super cool, teeny tiny bedroom in a trailer. Her walls were absolutely wallpapered with band posters and art projects, and we’d just flip on the blacklight and listen to music, crack open glowsticks, etc, like total stereotypes. This song was on CONSTANTLY. I was eighteen then. Now I’m in my early thirties and she’s in her late twenties, and though those days were dark for both of us in a smorgasbord of ways, it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my life! We reflect on that era with tremendous fondness. And holy shit, Strobe brings me right back there. It’s like maybe a week has passed since then - not close to fifteen fucking years 😭 How does that happen?! Music is such a powerful, wonderful, heartbreaking thing, and thank god for it
Corona get the f out of our lives. 12 years since the release of this masterpiece, would love to hear it again in another 12 years or more years. Its very rare an edm sound stay in our memories. 🤘🏼
I’m sooo getting this played at my funeral..... hands down one of the best songs that’s truly universal.... any form of intelligent life would completely see this as art at its best!!!
I always feel a special feeling and love from people in the comments. It feels like family. This song is heavenly, heavy, beautiful and nostalgic. Much love to you all!
I saw 🐭 at Wireless Festival in London 2012, back when times were much simpler. When this song played with me and all of my friends enjoying the moment, it still lives in my memory today and always will.
Joel is a fucking international treasure and an inspiration to electronic musicians everywhere He's probably one of the biggest names in electronic music and still underrated as fuck!
@@LxACraphex but it ruins the atmosphere. its like going out for a drink with your mates and everyone in the bar or pub are all on their phones not speaking to one another
I knowwwwwwww... just basking in the fucking moment. I dunno why it irritates the shit outta me seeing tons of cell phones.. im like whats the point lmao its still gonna sound like shit and now you had your experience through another medium lmao i dunno.. its just pointless imo. Sure i can understand a snap or clip here and there but but still/ everyone in the crowd. lol its just silly all you see is tons of phones in front of yours anyways
this instantly bring me back to live city yaletown during the 2010 vancouver olympics. he played this with thousands of people in and outside of the event area. during the drop they projected olympic images onto screens of mist. best time of my life.

Best produced electronic song of all time in my opinion
Angad S ever heard adagio for strings
Farhan Niazi yeah, and it's nowhere close to strobe
lmao Tiesto didn't compose that ahhahaha
100% hands down the best!!!
thats true
This has been called the “stairway to heaven” of electronic music.
I’d say that is a pretty good description 😀

I'm so curious to know how Joel must have felt when he finished Strobe in the studio. Like at the very moment when he finishes the first full playthrough. "What have I done.. what have I created.."
it must have been amazing to just be in the studio with him.. just to see him produce ANY song. but lucky we have twitch.
Originally two separate tracks put together that made strobe. Fun fact!
kinda like when goldie made timeless
He doesn't feel shit. He said this himself.
He probably thought; "this song needs...". Like every producer, nothing is ever "done", you just stop working on it.
This song still gives me goosebumps all these years later.
Just exactly like the first time.... This amazing track 1 of the 3 tracks i can listen all day every day and will enjoy every single freaking second of it.... Just amazing masterpiece by crazy ass Joel 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
2023 and it's still banging
one of the best Edm songs of all.. I have it on my list always.
I love it when Joel plays the FULL version of this song. Masterpiece of a track.
Love the piano intro.
Is this the whole version?
MrPink it’s the extended version
This song has made me cry, multiple times. It's just so fucking beautiful. No words.
boy shut your sensitive ass up
nevermind i just cried
nice cat I Love this
nice cat XD
Me too, but not in a sad way
Just because it's so uplifting and comforting kinda like a celestial force from the stars telling you "it's gonna be okay" when you're having a shit day, week, month, year, or life and you believe it.

This track can make me cry
Happy cry
6 years later, I’m sure it still can
No lyrics, repetitive beat but still hit deeply... Many emotions, many feelings, 2008-2010 were the most incredible ages for electronic music
Add-in 2007 to those years so Daft Punk's Alive 2007 is included ^^
when one song is over 10 mins long, but you enjoy every single second of it. greatest edm track of all time.
absolutely agree!

he's SO detailed in everything he does

i never felt a song as hard as strobe.

Ever... Nah
When you play a venue this large and the ENTIRE crowd is engaged, you know magic is happening.

Accurate af
This masterpiece make you feel that world isn’t that bad 🙌🙌🙌🙌

This one perticular concert is a real high water mark for my generation. I know one day itll be viewed as that.
Such a beautiful track. People living in the moment, barely any phones
This is it. The hardest hitting drop ever. No other song has ever had the same building up tension to create such a big drop.
Any OGs in 2020 listening to this masterpiece!! I always get the chills a few seconds before the drop.. IMO the best drop of all tme.
god has this on his ipod :D
for sure man
God has an ipod.... i haven't

Amaaaaaaazing. Impossible not feel nothing.
I love strobe
Seeing deadmau5 turn on the ligths of his mask´s eyes, on the drop, it´s simply awesome!
It gives me chills watching an ocean of people experiencing what is probably the funnest moment of their lives
I love that he does a Proper “thank you “and goodbye to the fans at the end of the show. ❤️
This looks so lit, I NEED to see him live.
The perfect song does exist.
Somehow I’ve only just discovered this. Indescribable. Why on earth do I feel like I want to cry though, I’ve never had that before. Never.
It’s the chords that are used invoking emotion In Our Brain. . Brilliant. Used in many progressive tracks. Journey into heart and soul.
