This undeniably captures the awe-like experience one gets from being connected to a communal body while at a rave/dancing and the complete loss of the ego. We might just be a small speck of dust that may mean nothing, but damn dance music can provide a sense transcendence that makes life worth it.
you described it perfectly. that's exactly what i experience when dancing at a club, and even listening to this album alone i feel it transports me into that experience (and the wave visualizer too certainly helps induce a trance-like state)
I always get goosebumps when she says "that's you, you're here, that's us" 3:15. What a masterpiece this song is - can't wait to watch Jamie perform this live in Jan!
What's that There That thing moving in the middle Look again That Pale blue dancer Look again at that dot Surrounded by all that space Such a small thing Almost nothing Surrounded by darkness Surrounded by what's called Everything else Look again at that dot That's here That stage That dancer There's a whole world in that dancer A microcosm of everyone you love Everyone you know Every human being whoever was When he turns his head It's not his head turning But all the heads turning When she raises her hand It's not her hand rising But all the hands rising Look again This is a very small stage In a vast cosmic arena A little pile of dust suspended in a light beam Struggling for significance But what's it about? Look again at that dancer What the f*ck? That's it That's all there is Us A lonely speck In the great enveloping cosmic dark In all this vastness There is no hint that Help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves So alright Yeah I will have a double Yes, I will fall Open arms into and out of my own ego Let go, let go, let go The great let go Look again at that dancer That's you You're here That's us With open arms Falling into a deep dark blue abyss Through time and space and regret Privilege and denial And dance And dance And dance Arch up Look up To where we were Where we are Nothing to do But to treat and be treated with kindness Preserve one another And cherish Cherish the pale blue dot
This song experienced live at his set, coming in after the 'Breather' was an out of this world experience. I've been waiting for it to be released since 2022. Such a beautiful and layered production, full of yearning for more magic in life. Could be even longer and more explosive somewhere in the middle, with a longer outro. Perfect closure of the album.
This is a great album, technically and musically fantastic, polished almost to perfection, was expecting to feel the same as his previous one.. In Colour is just at the top of my greatest of all time.. still I would give a solid 8
I saw Jamie XX for the second time at Alexandra Park in September, and it was one of my favourite live music experiences. During the set, cameras were showing the crowd on big screens. When this song played, a cameraman walked through the crowd and captured me dancing with another guy (a plant, it turned out). The moment hit hard because I've loved listening to this album’s lyrics. Surrendering to the moment, connectivity and dancing,.. I don't think I've had many live music experiences as significant as that...!
What's that?

Best Song from the new Album
I've been waiting so long for this track to be released. Sooooooo happy to spend my time with that pale blue dancer on repeat now!
SAME
What's that
There
That thing moving in the middle
Look again
That
Pale blue dancer
Look again at that dot
Surrounded by all that space
Such a small thing
Almost nothing
Surrounded by darkness
Surrounded by what's called
Everything else
Look again at that dot
That's here
That stage
That dancer
There's a whole world in that dancer
A microcosm of everyone you love
Everyone you know
Every human being whoever was
When he turns his head
It's not his head turning
But all the heads turning
When she raises her hand
It's not her hand rising
But all the hands rising
Look again
This is a very small stage
In a vast cosmic arena
A little pile of dust suspended in a light beam
Struggling for significance
But what's it about?
Look again at that dancer
What the f*ck?
That's it
That's all there is
Us
A lonely speck
In the great enveloping cosmic dark
In all this vastness
There is no hint that
Help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves
So alright
Yeah
I will have a double
Yes, I will fall
Open arms into and out of my own ego
Let go, let go, let go
The great let go
Look again at that dancer
That's you
You're here
That's us
With open arms
Falling into a deep dark blue abyss
Through time and space and regret
Privilege and denial
And dance
And dance
And dance
Arch up
Look up
To where we were
Where we are
Nothing to do
But to treat and be treated with kindness
Preserve one another
And cherish
Cherish the pale blue dot

Me too! He played it at Primavera in 2022 and i've been waiting patiently ever since, it was worth the wait!
Wowwww breather is mental cure
I've been listening all day, I repeat, ALL DAY to this track. It is THAT good.
This is a great album, technically and musically fantastic, polished almost to perfection, was expecting to feel the same as his previous one.. In Colour is just at the top of my greatest of all time.. still I would give a solid 8
Agreed. This is a good album. In Colour is a masterpiece
It gets wilder and wilder with every second and I can't control my body. This is so good.

Wait, so some of those dancers were fake? Damn..
This song paints a beautiful image in my mind, and delivers a wonderful message. Thank you for this art!
This is so beautiful and emotional. Great closer.
I'm absolutely enchanted by this song
I'm not crying we're crying
We’re crying
Dance music can indeed be spiritual 🙏
omg agree
Thank you Jamie XX for this diamond of an album
A softened version of acid techno.
This is going into my very very short list of "perfect albums".
This song is amazing.
PURE MAGIC!!
Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid at the end! 😃
Pachanga Boys 'Time' vibes in all the right places...
jajaja
Just wanted to write it 😊
Que gran disco consistente, limpio y con la energía suficiente para escucharlo en calma uffff belleza de álbum 👌🏾
This song is an addiction
How privileged are we to be able to dance together alone in this bizarre cosmic space? Very.
I can see it. I can see ALL of us. 🧡
spread the jelly
staring out the window at what the light touches, this closing song is a good reminder
I don't know what kind of mental health treatment Jamie xx is going through, but I want in. This album is absolutely mental.
Jamie, I'm just discovering this album and it's a real treat. Thx 🤩
and regret, and privilege, and denial, and dance..Let go, let go, let go, the great let go
I remember this during live set, omg this was breathtaking
LV SONG ! CONGRAT BRO 💥💯🔥
What's that?
There
That thing moving in the middle
Look again
That
Pale, blue, dancer
Look again at that dot
Surrounded by all that space
Such a small thing
Almost nothing
Surrounded by darkness
Surrounded by what's called
Everything else
Look again at that dot
That's here
That stage, that dancer
There a whole world in that dancer
A microcosm of everyone you love
Everyone you know
Every human being who ever was
When he turns his head, it's not his head turning
But all the heads turning
If she raises a hand, it's not hеr hand rising
It's all the hands rising
Look again
This is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arеna
A little pile of dust suspended in a light-beam struggling for significance
But what's it about?
Look again at that dancer
What the fuck
But that's it
That's all there is
Us
A lonely speck in the enveloping cosmic dark
In all this vastness
There is no hint that help would come from elsewhere to save us for ourselves
So alright, yeah, I will have a double
Yes, I will fall
Open arms into and out of me own ego
Let go, let go, let go, the great let go
Look again at that dancer
That's you
You're here, that's us
With open arms fallen into a deep dark blue abyss through time, and space, and regret, and privilege, and denial, and dance
And dance
And dance
Arch up
Look up
To where we were
Where we are
Nothing to do
But to treat
And be treat with kindness
To preserve one-another, and to cherish
And to cherish the pale, blue, dot
Since Louis Vuitton spring summer 2025 show and I can’t stop playing this song
oh dear what a tune
How utterly sweet and lovely. "Look again" - etymology: re-spect.
This makes me alive ❤❤❤
Vitalic-esque
So so so good
this is crazy. i recognize a bunch of these tracks from coachella back in 2022. i wondered what they were all this time :)
Might be one of the best dance tracks I’ve ever heard… I fucking love you Jamie
This is a great closer track for this album!
Love it!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
when the sweat trickles up your smile
I see mike oldfield influence here and I LOVE it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dziękuję jestem bardzo wdzięczny... coś pięknego długo będę mielił ten utwór...🫶
Woooow who are youuu....this is Amazing ❤
I can’t wait to see you at Portola Festival
Sounds Like faithless kinda. But so much better
This might be the best think I have ever heard
Can't believe he got Limmy to be on a track
Masterpiece ❤
Brilliant! That dot... Is thy Monad 😉
Broo que chimba que este ese play en sound cloud🫣🫠🫨
melting 🫠
Beautiful.
this is like fueeeeeel
Increíble tema sos un cra
Very good track 👏
Love it!!!
am I the only one that cried during the first listen?
anyways.... it's emotional.
i feel you
Nope, you''re not alone there.
YEEEEA MAN
Finallyyy omggg, I'm so happy
It’s like the song you wanna die to but you’d cry that you died to it
I really want a version where the monologue stops at least mid-song instead of going on and on. it's a good addition but a bit of an overkill
but then again who am I to critique Jamie lol. I'm sure it'll grow on me.
❤️🎶🌍🎶❤️💃💃💃
All the hands rising
TE AMO JAMIE TE AMARE SIEMPRE
... CRYING...
love
Oh shit… he’s done something here
Agreed! If you enjoy this. I think Fred Agains new album is very similar.
I can’t fw Fred Again unfortunately. Caucasian catnip lol
@@Heedyat fair enough! Too each there own. Maybe someday you’ll revisit it and like it more.
❤
Sublime
:O Oona!
not me listening to this on shroomies something literally shifted
I thought it was the monologue from "Billy Elliot" at first.
💖💖💖
this video makes my ears heal and my eyes hurt
Uff 💣🌪️ 2:31
Who's here after Jody's set in Malta?

Carl Sagan approves

Amazing track, would love a version without the vocal sample.

C'est pas au niveau de giorgio non plus... mais que ca fait du bien cet album as a whole :)

Molly Mccann back to training what is you doing
What accent is that?!
the fred again vibes on this track
What's that
There
That thing moving in the middle
Look again
That
Pale blue dancer
Look again at that dot
Surrounded by all that space
Such a small thing
Almost nothing
Surrounded by darkness
Surrounded by what's called
Everything else
Look again at that dot
That's here
That stage
That dancer
There's a whole world in that dancer
A microcosm of everyone you love
Everyone you know
Every human being whoever was
When he turns his head
It's not his head turning
But all the heads turning
When she raises her hand
It's not her hand rising
But all the hands rising
Look again
This is a very small stage
In a vast cosmic arena
A little pile of dust suspended in a light beam
Struggling for significance
But what's it about?
Look again at that dancer
What the f*ck?
That's it
That's all there is
Us
A lonely speck
In the great enveloping cosmic dark
In all this vastness
There is no hint that
Help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves
So alright
Yeah
I will have a double
Yes, I will fall
Open arms into and out of my own ego
Let go, let go, let go
The great let go
Look again at that dancer
That's you
You're here
That's us
With open arms
Falling into a deep dark blue abyss
Through time and space and regret
Privilege and denial
And dance
And dance
And dance
Arch up
Look up
To where we were
Where we are
Nothing to do
But to treat and be treated with kindness
Preserve one another
And cherish
Cherish the pale blue dot
Oh shit… he’s done something here
