deadmau5 - Not Exactly

[@Helloidc]

It's crazy when you listen to a song from back in the day and you almost feel like you're transported back to the past. It's like you're listening to memories. The power of music is incredible.

I can't tell if the song has the quality of "grandeur" or "multiplicity" or even "sadness," but whatever it is, it works like a mirror to whoever is listening to it. It reflects your emotions back to you. And that is a good quality indeed.

This song changed my life in so many ways. I had just graduated college in central Florida and begun the life of my dreams of world travel. I set off for an innocent first world travels trip to key west. Only thing was, about ten people I invited, bailed out on me til last minute. I put the car in drive, put the cd in I had made the night before and this was one of the songs I had on repeat as I just unknowingly realized , this is how it’s going to be from now on. Having endless beautiful solo adventures across the globe. I’ve now been across Europe, the Caribbean, New Zealand, the South Pacific, and now live in Hawai’i with the endless horizon of adventure ahead. At the time I was fighting my way out of deep depression, and the upward progression of this song always felt to me a reflection of me fighting my way out of that depression. It’s been 11 years since then and just recently coming back to this song. Each time at the high of musical progression brings me to tears, as It quickly teleports me back to a hard time while recognizing how much I’ve accomplished and improved since then. As someone said below, the power of music is incredible and this song is truly up there on my list of impactful songs! 💙 Aloha and I wish everyone a beautiful life of their dreams! 💙

[@Zorrio]

Crazy Shadow yeah but we talk about music not about video game, and IW is pretty much hated by the community.

[@habertown3421]

I disagree. It's only career killer if you're uncreative. You run out of ideas so you start producing music that is very similar to old songs, but I doubt that cause Joel is a genius to me. If you always release in the same genre which you're good at and you are able to give every track a different vibe, that's how legends are born. Look at Pryda for example. If you move because of industry and people's music taste changes, you probably got more fans, money, fame etc. but for the price of music quality.
