i know the song itself is beautiful with simple sound design unique waltzing bell intro to a machinistic part teasing the next level melody which then unravels and increases in intensity to the drop but damn do the sound effects balance everything it makes the song so much more atmospheric and cold even the very end of the song is like it's saying goodbye it's incredible
Got new Strobe
…before deadmau5 - Strobe and after deadmau5 - Strobe (BS and AS).
Strobe
"Strobe" by deadmau5 is nothing short of a modern-day symphony, where electronic music transcends its genre to become a work of art that echoes the genius of history's most revered composers. In the same way that Mozart's "Requiem" immerses us in a profound emotional journey, "Strobe" takes us on a deeply introspective voyage, evoking a vast spectrum of emotions, from serene contemplation to intense euphoria.
The meticulous structure of "Strobe" reflects the architectural precision of Beethoven's symphonies, where every element is in perfect harmony, building toward a climactic release that feels both inevitable and sublime. Just as Beethoven's compositions broke the boundaries of his time, pushing the limits of what music could express, deadmau5 has crafted a piece that challenges the very definition of electronic music, elevating it to a form of expression that is as profound and timeless as anything composed by the masters.
"Strobe" is a sonic canvas where sound and emotion are inextricably linked, akin to how Beethoven’s symphonies or Mozart’s operas capture the complexities of the human condition. It is a composition that will endure, much like the works of those musical giants, because it speaks to something universal and eternal in all of us. Deadmau5, with "Strobe," has not just created a track—he has composed an electronic symphony that will resonate for generations, just as Mozart and Beethoven's music has done for centuries.
This song makes me nostalgic for a past I never had, grateful for a present different than the one before me, and excited for a future I will never see. It's fire and night. It's something everyone has felt, but only some have heard. It's inexplicably magnificent.
90 minutes so far
So I recently bought a lifetime thing to stats.fm and then requested and imported my lifetime data from Spotify (dating back to 2014).
It’s been fun to track and visualize my usage of their app and musical tastes over the years but here are three problems I have that I noticed when looking at Strobe (a.k.a. Storbe):
Popularity is only a 3.3/10 ?! Blasphemy! It’s a minimum of 10.1… as no scale can truly visualize the greatness of Strobe.
it says I first listened to the song in December 2023?!?! Been playing this shit on almost every playlist I have for over a decade now, wtf?!?!
It says I’m ranked only #39 overall for total listens?! CHALLENGE FUCKING ACCEPTED!!! IDK who you are JESS! But I’m gonna take your title this year. Mark my words ima have the most Spotify plays of this track by 2025…
SSSTTTRRROOOBBBEEE!!!!!
Can’t remember it exactly but it was amazing. Something about a first date, sexy time playlist was 9hrs of strobe, etc… Can someone repost it or dm that screenshot to me?
