[@agoofypolishguycalled5ive]

This is not trance. This is more like progressive house or electro house. Trance is at around 140 BPM, while this masterpiece is at 128 BPM, which means this is slower than trance. Also trance sounds a little different, well not a little, a lot! Listen to trance again and you'll hear the difference.

I showed my father this song before he passed away. He asked who it was but never remembered. When he was broken tattered and bruised and had but left his body and soul, I played it before he went into the OR, to grace his final dance of soul on this mortal plane. You were a great man Mark. An excellent husband. And an exceptional father. You were an angel sent here to rid those of their demons in this dark cold world. And your charity showed it. As the doctors and nurses on that floor lined up to see his final goodbye, I knew you were on to better things. You were an angel to my demon. And you deserved better than I or this world could ever give you, and I'll never forget the last time your eyes locked mine as you left the world. You fought to stay. And I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. Vaya con dios mi papi, mi amigo. My only true friend, till the end. See you at the crossroads. You will never be forgotten. And you will most certainly be missed every day we remain here.

This song carried me to my best friend, who was dying. I get the dreaded call that he may not see it through the night. Kiss my wife and kids and grab my car keys. I’m gone. This song on like 44 or 46( cuz nobody puts it on a odd number) it’s loud it rumbles and shakes the car, I’m doing maybe 100 on a 60, but the raw emotion of this song and the state that my mind is in just makes everything super adrenalised. I see my friend. He is literally knocking on deaths door. I hold his hand, tell him I love him and say “just give up”. He passed away about 10 minutes after I spoke to him. His parents and I spoke for about 2 hours just re-telling funny stories and cracking jokes at his expense. I leave and get back in my car, and it’s strobe again. Just that first maybe 2-3 minutes of nothing but pure chords, you can feel it. The song lives in you, with you for a few precious moments and then boom, the drop hits you and you’re high and remembering the good times. This song is timeless, and will always manages to give me the feels every time I hear it. Timeless classic.

How such a masterpiece can allow navigation through the darkest spots imaginable, shedding that tiny bit of light you can reach onto and grasp with all you have to get through, is what makes this song beautiful and special.

“Strobe was actually produced in a whole bunch of different parts. The intro wasn’t originally called strobe, it was called ‘then we stood still’, and if you look it up on KZbin you’ll find that. The second part of it was done months later in a hotel room in England where I thought I should expand on it. It was really done in a lot of segments, and I wasn’t thinking about anything in particular at any given time. People ask me that a lot, and I never really think about anything, I just kind of think about how things sound and if something’s working or not.” -Joel Zimmerman

как же мне нравится очень и очень плавный разгон этого трека, как в него постепенно добавляются новые элементы. я с самого первого прослушивания в восторге. я не знаю, что хотел автор вложить в эту музыку, но лично для меня он вложил смену настроения от "грустное состояние полнейшего расстройства", которое переходит в "крепнущая надежда", а потом "воодушевление, которое подкрепляется вложением сил и движению к результату". больше десяти лет со мной этот трек и каждый раз, как первый.
