Hahahahaha! This song reminds me of stuff I do and do not want to remember, always a good sign but thanks for this laugh! Also watch out for that ferocious black 🐈
And to think that this song was able to be released because Chris shared his vocal mix on Joel's stream and he actually played it. That just blows my mind.
I think Ray B and Joel Z deserve a big shout out in this, J's hizzzhowz. Yes , chris provided ingredients to a large recipe. Wait is he "the voice" from "stir up the cambells, soup is good food?"
I heard 30 seconds of this song when I was 12, and my Ma spent 2 hours finding it for me... rest in peace Ma, we all miss you and your endless kindness ❤️
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs of the 21st century. I remember when i was just joining university and i discovered this song during my electronic music era, dubstep, drum n bass progressive house…ahh man times were gooood..wish we could loop time the way people worldwide have looped this song.
I remember being fresh out of high school and bought my first car. It was a convertible mustang fox body and I’d just cruise through the hills blasting this song. Man simpler times… I miss it
This is a song that came out when I was 19..... I'm 30 years old and it brings me back to a time I cant describe anymore. I am so happy being 30 years old and how nice my life is now, however, this song brings me to a time in my life where things were a bit more interesting... like I didn't know where I was going and what the hell I was doing. Something you kids should take advantage of. It. Believe me, things only get better. Make your younger years worth it. You'll be happy later on. Cheers all!
Say no more, friend. I turned 31 this month and was a full on EDM head back in those days almost obsessed. Anyhow, for me at the time this was one of deadmau5' newer tracks that no other artist could hold a candle to at the time. A magical time to be young, indeed.
30 years old here as well, you summarized exactly how I feel about this song. It's my all time favorite, and that feeling - it's ability to take me back - is largely why.
I went to Vegas alone for an early 24th birthday this year 🥹 I’m glad I did I’ll never forget what I gifted myself. I love being alone often and most times it turns out to be the best times of my life. My friends.. I cut those off they’re not on my level of fun. I saw deadmau5 live at zouk in Vegas too. Best memories !!! Makes me wanna tear up now haha
the way he discovered the singing from chris james was a 50/50 he cudv literally not clicked his shit on twitter & now this song is one of my favorites
This is one of the few songs that makes me cry. I first heard it when I was 25 and living on my own in Florida (moved from Virginia) to be a Flight instructor at a small airport. While I lived there I had met a beautiful waitress that was also into deadmau5 and we hung together in downtown Orlando clubbing. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago when I left Florida to be an airline pilot. She was in rehab. The song is real tearjerker for me...
I don't know what it is about this song, but it has the unique ability to calm me down, no matter how stressed I get. Something about this song makes me feel like everything will be alright.
Evan Jarvis A good melody and good sound design probably play a part in it. What's ironic though is the fact that the lyrics and song title are about a really dark Sci-Fi short story called The Veldt which was written by Ray Bradbury.
whenever I walk home from school I listen to this song and walk at the rhythm. thanks for existing, deadmau5, you really changed my life for the greater good through music. xx
Been in love this song ever since I was a child. Heard it on the radio during a summer trip with my family. I still think about that trip, and this song on my iPod touch repeating over and over. Thank you for gifting this beautiful song to a generation of children that have memories similar to mine
In high school, I was introduced to EDM, and always came back to some of deadmau5's songs. I think this one is my favorite just because it elicits such vivid memories from much simpler times. This song makes me smell the rain in the middle of winter.
3:30-4:30 Wow. This whole minute is to me the best part of the song. An absolutely gorgeous breakdown of everything with some beautiful strings, and great field recording type background. I want to listen to this part looped forever. An absolutely beautiful piece of music
10 years ago I was abroad in London and heard this track for the first time. Every few nights me and my friends would stay up until 4-5am listening to this track and other deadmau5. It’s honestly fucking incredible how music acts as a portal. It’s such a powerfully beautiful agent in this wild life of ours. I’m grateful everyday for these sounds.
The Veldt - the very first story (other than the introduction) the Ray Bradbury's sci-fi masterpiece "The Illustrated Man", 1951 I think. I read this collection of fantastic and straightforward short-stories when I was 14. It really changed my perspective on fiction. "Can you hear the screams?!" "Happy technology!" "Living with technology!" Perfect summary of the story. Bravo to deadmau5 and the writer of the vocals! Peace&Love y'all, live life outside of an apartment!
«Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt” and Dai Sato's anime, “Ergo Proxy” share a common theme, both of these stories show how depending too much on technology is not good for us both physically and mentally. In both of these narratives, the humans begin relying on technology so much that they cannot do things for themselves. In “The Veldt” the children always had machines do everything for them, but when the technology left, they did not even know how to tie their own shoes. In Ergo Proxy, one of the main characters, Re-I Mayer, makes her personal robot do all the menial tasks like driving and preparing food for her. Because of this, when a robot was chasing her and getting close to killing her, she couldn’t drive away and instead crashed her car and was almost killed. In both cases, the humans relied on their technology too much and as a consequence, they couldn’t properly do things for themselves.»
When this song recently came out, I was around 14 years old, modern warfare 2 was all I played, sitting in my room with nothing to worry about only school, I experienced my first love and girls were starting to come into my life, I wish I could go back to these days as they were much more simpler
Those really were the best times. I think going back now would get boring pretty quick, because you've grown so much and can take on bigger and better challenges now :) Cheers
Very similar experience. All I did was play Skyrim, hang out with friends, and bike everywhere that summer, and I too, found someone special. Simpler times knowing we had it great but didn't realize it at the time.
***** uh no... wtf? it's a story of 2 children named peter and wendy who "never grow up" because they were so psychologically tuned to rely their lives on the "nursery" which projects anything they want. their parents were just clueless what it could do to them. ray bradbury wrote the story to tell people about what technology could do to people and how children are so easily affected by conditioning
***** yeah this. the parents' only crime i suppose was neglect. the kids made a world that happened to be dangerous and it ended up killing the parents. To the children though it was THEIR world and they would do anything for it, it meant so much to them.
Read the short story if you haven't already. "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury, it's what the song is based off of. Very happy and sad story; more creepy then anything I suppose.
You don't find it creepy that two small children become so desensitized to violence that they conspire to have their parents murdered after the parents try to discipline them? Maybe you have been spending too much time in the playroom... ;)
YT videos in which Joel is producing from his Toronto condo and videos with his famous coffee runs, that's how my "journey" with Joel's music started. Seems like yesterday...Hats off for Joel, producing all this wonderful music!
My brothers name is Chris, mine is James. Chris passed away 4 yrs ago. It’s nice hearing such a beautiful song with such a cool story and the guy discovered is my brother and I 😢
@@soultiesmusic oh boy....if this type of music is your thing, it is my opinion the Taking You Higher mixes are the Mecca of electronic music. Look up Taking You Higher by suicide sheep and make sure youre relaxing. Gaming, smoking weed, working on your car, i dont care.
@@soultiesmusic yes. Theres 4 parts. They are all very good. I still listen to them even though i have played them 100s of times. I put on taking you higher, smoke up, then play Overwatch. Incredible
I was sitting in English class today and we were reading short stories, needless to say i was thumbing through the book of short stories and "the vedlt" by ray bradbury showed up in there. Jesus fuck did i ever get goosebumps.
***** The story is dark, but very interesting. And it's beginning to happen already. Some parents are so lazy that they entirely depend on their tablets and phones to entertain their children.
I love the double meaning of the lyrics. One meaning is that of the Ray Bradbury story. The other is of a metaphorical description of the electronic music scene.
I’m 40 years old. The first time I heard this song I was 30, and upon hearing it, I felt like it had always been a part of me. Like the song knew me and I just became aware of its melody. Joel, you beautifully speak to the parts of my heart I didn’t realize were still there, and have been singing to me all along. ❤️🩹🖤❤️🩹🖤 Thank you 🎶
The breakdown at exactly 5:00 is sofa king badass. Reminds me of my first Bay Area Rave. Gathering. 97. Summer. Oakland, Ca. Waiting in line (outside the doors) to get in 😆
***** That, I think, wasn't his point. His point was the story this is based off (Link: www.d.umn.edu/~csigler/PDF%20files/bradbury_veldt.pdf ) ends in the 2 children killing their own parents to keep their technology, the house, the room, all of it. He's not saying, I'm gonna presume, ALL technology is evil, just that the story, which was basically the children merging with the machine, ended in the creation of murderers of their own parents. As if possessed by the devil, but it was all this technology.
The time when you are comming back to a song and want to add it to your Favorites but the video is already there.... Kinda feeling old right now but I don't regret the last 12 years. The song just makes me feel 18 again.
I remember 15 years ago when I got my first mp3 player and didn't really have any opinion on music. I got all the music from my friend who had a small collection. I use to listen to songs when I commuted by bicycle to my tution classes and this song would play in shuffle. When I asked my friend about it, he said he had no idea what this was or how it ended up in his collection. I loved this song for some weird reason and thought this was like one of those timeless pieces whose artistry is obscured, and reveals itself to humanity when it is needed the most.
Have it on a mix CD from 2012.🥹 The CD is from my most favorite Radio Station back then which doesn't exist anymore. They played DJ Mixes every Weekend at Friday and saturday afternoon and sometimes they made concerts with those DJ's and released CD's after the event.
My twin brother passed away this past February along with my Dad a year before him and we'd always blast this while cruising in my BMW or in my bros Mustang it was such great memories i can't help but cry when listening to this great song
Stay strong. I know what it's like to lose a brother. Him and your pops will always be with you at heart man, and just like this amazing song runs through your body and makes your heart beat to this rhythm, your heart beat keeps them alive within you. Stay strong brotha
Drew Layton By definition? Sure. The feeling itself? Don't know. Never experienced nostalgia from something that just happened. I guess my nostalgia is just different from what you call nostalgia.
This is the only song that when I come back to it, without fail, I cry. Every single time. It’s never just 1 emotion. I can’t explain it! Just an outpouring of everything 🥹🥺😭❤
I used to walk back from school with this blaring on my headphones, this song alone made me feel like I could do anything. Alas, i have yet to do something LOL
This was mine and my best friends favourite song, sadly he was killed in a car accident going on two years this year. Fuck what I'd do to have him back here... Love you forever brother.
Still can't believe some guy came up with these lyrics during a live video of Joel's and he used them in his official song, it does make it so much better though.
It’s 2022…I’m 71:years old…playing this on an endless loop. Glorious!
Hope you're well Zoe
Still alive bro ?
Where you at you good?
Are you still jamming
ill be playing till im 501
This song is perfect for those late night drives down the highway, when there’s nobody else around, and you just reflect on the beauty of life

Gotta love those therapeutic night drives.

Samesies. What a delightful song. Especially vocals.
I knew of this song for a long time before I ever watched the reaction video of him finding Chris. Such a great video it is.

Cool, only thing missing is a little voice stuttering at the begining
Lmao 🤣

Right??! I was surprised Joel was like "fuckit i'll let the jury decide"
30 seconds in... "MOTHER FUCKER!"
so awesome
The craziest part is that he considered not even checking it

This song is Deadmau5 magnum opus. It's literally perfect
Really well put. I love so many of his other songs for different reasons but this really is his Magnum Opus.
Heard this in a McDonald's toilet, actually liked it and Shazammed it. No regrets.
In the toilet
Yeah. I was measuring the force of the flushes to see if they could withstand the mass and force of my turds.

The synths are so perfect, feels like I can see them. Like perfectly rounded edges.
idk why but this makes complete sense haha

Perfect visual description, 100%
It needs more vocal stutter but other than that it's great
Same here. I have synesthesia so the synths are little orange and purple balls just bouncing around to the beat.

This song is nostalgic for me. I can't believe I forgot about it
Did you hear it on the suicide sheep mix Taking You Higher? That was the first for me. My favorite mixes of all time tbh
@@fastcar42069 No, I haven’t. What is that?
@@soultiesmusic oh boy....if this type of music is your thing, it is my opinion the Taking You Higher mixes are the Mecca of electronic music. Look up Taking You Higher by suicide sheep and make sure youre relaxing. Gaming, smoking weed, working on your car, i dont care.
@@fastcar42069 I’m gonna listen then. thanks for sharing!
@@soultiesmusic yes. Theres 4 parts. They are all very good. I still listen to them even though i have played them 100s of times. I put on taking you higher, smoke up, then play Overwatch. Incredible
5 years !
Almost 6!
putain comah ! je savais pas que tu écoutais deadmau5 !
6!
6 mano.
7 anos já, passa rápido o tempo, sinto muitas sdds de 2012..
I was sitting in English class today and we were reading short stories, needless to say i was thumbing through the book of short stories and "the vedlt" by ray bradbury showed up in there. Jesus fuck did i ever get goosebumps.
i saw that too
holy shit, dude. I'm not sure if i preferred not knowing where the lyrical inspiration comes from, or if I like the song better now that I know.
I'm just stating this out , the short story is made by Ray Bradbury , in the music video (it's either the start or end , it says , R.I.P Ray Bradbury)
***** The story is dark, but very interesting. And it's beginning to happen already. Some parents are so lazy that they entirely depend on their tablets and phones to entertain their children.
i think its kinda cool that he in a way turned the story into a song
❤❤❤❤Thank God for this type of good music.....
I love the double meaning of the lyrics. One meaning is that of the Ray Bradbury story. The other is of a metaphorical description of the electronic music scene.
I love the short story :D
"The world that the children made"
When people say electronic music has no emotion
HAVE U EVER HEARD OF THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS. I'VE LOVED THEM SINCE 1996!!!
Amazing. Now this is music. Real music
Yes! You're right! In the break on 4:50 min i became goosebumbs! again and again. No actor can make this better!
If you guys want the most emotional electronic song. The BPM is a bit high though.
Introversion - dystopia
Maximus russo for real, I get goosebumps from this song.
I’m 40 years old. The first time I heard this song I was 30, and upon hearing it, I felt like it had always been a part of me. Like the song knew me and I just became aware of its melody. Joel, you beautifully speak to the parts of my heart I didn’t realize were still there, and have been singing to me all along. ❤️🩹🖤❤️🩹🖤 Thank you 🎶
hauntingly beautiful reflecting on changes/turmoil present day
Nothing to do. Perfect combination of voice, rhythm and sound like no other of Deadmau5. Awesome masterpiece
Alguém em 2024 ouvindo essa pedrada?
Euuu
I started listening to this in 2013, and it is still my favorite song.
Well done.
The breakdown at exactly 5:00 is sofa king badass. Reminds me of my first Bay Area Rave. Gathering. 97. Summer. Oakland, Ca. Waiting in line (outside the doors) to get in 😆
Happy life, with the machines ♪
we r in the same page ingrid lol on this one
Yess
***** xD win
***** you are the fucking devil bruh
*****
That, I think, wasn't his point. His point was the story this is based off (Link: www.d.umn.edu/~csigler/PDF%20files/bradbury_veldt.pdf ) ends in the 2 children killing their own parents to keep their technology, the house, the room, all of it. He's not saying, I'm gonna presume, ALL technology is evil, just that the story, which was basically the children merging with the machine, ended in the creation of murderers of their own parents. As if possessed by the devil, but it was all this technology.
Needs more vocal stutter but otherwise fantastic
I see what you did there
yeah it needs to be more clever there i dont know
@@kleinemaus6094 It's a joke, dive deeper into the songs origin and you'll get it.
love the comments that are taking you seriously. But yep, more vocal stutter and cowbell if possible pls.
@@matthewstonhouse156 Gotta love that moralizing: "Allow unique to exist!" wiggling his index finger around :D
Haven't listened to this in 2 years. I'm in love
The time when you are comming back to a song and want to add it to your Favorites but the video is already there....
Kinda feeling old right now but I don't regret the last 12 years. The song just makes me feel 18 again.
I remember 15 years ago when I got my first mp3 player and didn't really have any opinion on music. I got all the music from my friend who had a small collection. I use to listen to songs when I commuted by bicycle to my tution classes and this song would play in shuffle. When I asked my friend about it, he said he had no idea what this was or how it ended up in his collection.
I loved this song for some weird reason and thought this was like one of those timeless pieces whose artistry is obscured, and reveals itself to humanity when it is needed the most.
The story of the song and the story of how he found the vocalist who edited the song with lyrics on it are both amazing
The Short Story was messed up, but Deadmau5's songs never disappoint me. Deadmau5 for president.
Have it on a mix CD from 2012.🥹
The CD is from my most favorite Radio Station back then which doesn't exist anymore. They played DJ Mixes every Weekend at Friday and saturday afternoon and sometimes they made concerts with those DJ's and released CD's after the event.
My twin brother passed away this past February along with my Dad a year before him and we'd always blast this while cruising in my BMW or in my bros Mustang it was such great memories i can't help but cry when listening to this great song
Stay strong ,you all have a great time
Stay strong. I know what it's like to lose a brother. Him and your pops will always be with you at heart man, and just like this amazing song runs through your body and makes your heart beat to this rhythm, your heart beat keeps them alive within you. Stay strong brotha
Stay strong, as I lost my twin brother as well! He is wil you every step you take believe it or not. I know my twin is
I'm sorry stay strong
You will share more fun times with them I promise
Nearly 9 years after first hearing this song, it still brings a tear to my eye.
8 and a half minutes of pure happiness
@Ethan Tercier
Too true
How's life?
Shoutout James for killing it what a cool story
ah yes. the nostalgia is high with this one...
It is for Joel. Hence...
+DaftPunkVision Nostalgia from a song from 2012? What?
+ThatGuy Nostalgia isn't restricted to time. Odd though that may seem.
Drew Layton By definition? Sure. The feeling itself?
Don't know. Never experienced nostalgia from something that just happened.
I guess my nostalgia is just different from what you call nostalgia.
+DaftPunkVision High is with the nostalgia.
I can’t get enough of the breakdown , so happy and thought provoking
the way this song was made (the discover of the vocal part) is a testimony of how you do art !
This is the only song that when I come back to it, without fail, I cry. Every single time. It’s never just 1 emotion. I can’t explain it! Just an outpouring of everything 🥹🥺😭❤
Magical x
To this day, one of the greatest songs ever done with an incredible back story. Wish I was back in these times. 😞
6 years, and it's still magic
This is soo nostalgic
literally, 100% without a doubt, the greatest song ever
can't explain how much I love it
.
well atleast your favorite song isn't katy perry.
This song is truly a blessing
I found this song 8 minutes and 41 seconds ago and i love it already
I used to walk back from school with this blaring on my headphones, this song alone made me feel like I could do anything. Alas, i have yet to do something LOL
If you’ve been there for somebody, created something, cooked, whatever.. that’s enough and just keep building on that
why do i get tears in my eyes when i listen to this song.
Alright, off to the gaming playlist with you.
You just gave me a project for the next hour. Thanks. 😂😂
Mystic LMAO
This was mine and my best friends favourite song, sadly he was killed in a car accident going on two years this year. Fuck what I'd do to have him back here... Love you forever brother.
My mom passed 7 years ago everytime I hear this song I think what’s its like leaving earth and to heaven and seeing its wonder
Still can't believe some guy came up with these lyrics during a live video of Joel's and he used them in his official song, it does make it so much better though.
