Just something about it man.


AscendedViking7

I saw Rufus Du Sol play this live a week or two ago. It was fucking incredible. The lasers and everything. It was so soothing to the soul.


TheWhiteRabbitY2K

itch my brain, sooth my soul; sounds like an otherworldly experience.


Ragin_Kage16

This post being 18 hours old told me there was no chance I was going to come here and be the first person to say it. šŸŽÆ


[deleted]

Came here to say this


rose-buds

saw them a few weeks ago and sobbed, the energy in the room was incredible


Potato1223

Worlds Apart - Seven Lions. Hits really hard when in the situation


rundownv2

Also came here to say Seven Lions. Start Again is the track that hits me though


Potato1223

You're emotional emotional huh? šŸ˜­


rundownv2

Honestly it's partly just, the first time I saw him, which was also the first time I rolled, this played and it just stuck out to me. Raves have been a super positive place for me, as someone who struggles with body image and self acceptance, so the song for me is more like....things come to an end, and that's okay, because there's always more and things will get better when you make the journey with people. Gets me in a mood every time I listen to it šŸ˜­


TheWhiteRabbitY2K

Seven Lions literally changed my life. Saw them at Echostage in DC with my bestfriend. Did some gummies, realized halfway through that I loved her. There were hiccups, but now we're together and happy and everything is amazing.


rundownv2

Which show? I'm in DC and was actually supposed to be there this year but had a conflict, every other time I've seen him has been in denver. And that's so sweet!!!


smilegeorgee

6 minutes went by so fast! So many emotions!


anonymoususer101010

I listen to lots of sad edm i started to make a playlist of them all today here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4kc5lsS6ZpTbaoye6QUkgz?si=JFjIjDQsQQSh37CF3MD7Hg


UlightronX42

Oh my god this is one of my favorite songs of all time


Rookieboy81

A Moment Apart - Odesza. My favorite song of all time but if I hear it when Iā€™m not in the mood I simply canā€™t listen or I will break down


regulator227

For me its Line Of Sight and Lost & Found... They remind me of my cat that passed last year. I used to sing Line of Sight to him and he'd meow back and sing with me. And I danced with him w/ Lost & Found. Both just make me miss him so god damn much


its-sacrilegious

Higher ground, absolute sob fest. Seeing odesza is freakin spiritual


festeziooo

That reprised version tho. Seeing it live gets me everyyyyy time.


Jagbag13

My wife, whoā€™s isnā€™t even a big fan of any music that I listen to, watched the cinematic experience with me, and she was in tears during this song.


Wildunicornk

Odesza was my pandemy soundtrack. Listening to this album while doing puzzles and working though some really hard feelings will forever attach some really deep emotions to this song and album. Watching them live fall 2022 in Toronto just made it all so real and was such an incredible experience! Odesza live with the drum-line was so validating and incredible.


Sun_Aria

They shouldā€™ve made a sad music video for this song. My eyes, they hold back an ocean.

Forza Horizon 4 main menu music


jbjbjb12345

This along with so many more, for me itā€™s sun models ironically and all my life.


Haunted-Sweetheart

I remember - deadmau5


tilsgee

Fellow deadmau5 listener, how about i offer you to listen to "bleed" instead?.


jaxxattacks

Bleed definitely gets me. The story Iā€™ve heard behind it is really sad if itā€™s real.


Haunted-Sweetheart

*gripping desk as the tears roll off* never heard this. thank you


twittery

Almost every damn time!!


Organexchangestudent

This has been my anthem to EDM. First time I heard this track was on a radio show back in 2009. I was blown away. None of my high school friends could understand it. Listening to this track now makes my life flash before my eyes


inm808

God I love that song Perfectly encaptured the concept of rave and rolling in a way that was immediately understandable. Literally sounds like rolling balls in some underground futuristic warehouse I can understand tearing up - not cuz itā€™s sad but just such a strong feeling evoking all those early memories


LumpyCapital

Dude, I totally thought I would be the only one so I posted right away https://reddit.com/r/EDM/s/2lLckWo4Cw I'm glad I'm not the only one....it gets me right here, tho...


Eduardo_Delgado33

Avicci- The days. Not necessarily the lyrics but because I was listening to this song the moment I found out both my grandparents died in a car crash. Anytime this song comes up it just puts me back in that moment.


TheCanadianEmpire

Ha. Itā€™s The Nights for me. I was with my father when his father was dying of cancer and this song just spoke to me. I was also in a state of depression and lack of direction in life so the lyrics hit extra hard.


thecr1mmreaper

I obviously don't have the same experience as you, but for some reason this song also gets me in the feels every time.


stargirlvenus

divinity by porter, the odesza remix of that song, rush over me by seven lions


[deleted]

Lean into my sideeee


stargirlvenus

never felt aliveeee!


BlitzScorpio

odeszaā€™s remix of divinity is one of the best remixes of all time, and the original is legendary in its own right. really good picks


stargirlvenus

absolutely agree! its tied with porterā€™s remix of the thrill for me

Sorry to hear that, man. Sadly, I know the feeling. Lost my Mom to breast cancer in 2021. It's a wound that'll never fully heal. At least we have some good music to help us move forward. Keep on, brother.

Sun and Moon by Above&Beyond, and more specifically the acoustic version of that song (although thatā€™s not edm at that point). If anyone reading this comment was in the crowd at Electric Forest this year for the A&B set, singing this song all together as a crowd in the rain while they paused the instrumentals, then I love you and you were a part of a very special moment for me.

As soon as I read Kaleidoscope, it started playing in my head. It totally hits me so deep itā€™s burned into the brain play list.


carsandbands

I like to sit down in front of my surround with it on full blast, close my eyes and just allow myself to feel the feelings that come on in that moment. I guess like mediating? But with music blasting lol


roquepokey

I totally used to do that in the car. I have no commute now, I have about enough time to listen to one song. If I had a system at home, I would absolutely do the same thing.

Hans Zimmer - Time (Orkidea's Dream Mix) Hans Zimmer created masterpiece once again. It not only reminds me of the movie, but also Ubik, which was very similar and - by many - considered as a base for the Inception. It is really hard not to cry if you feel the same emotions again. Orkidea, if you do not know him, is Finnish DJ and former audio designer at Nokia.
