I was 26 in 2006. I discovered M83 hearing "Don't Save Us From The Flames" in a car commercial. Promptly went to my local indie record shop and bought Before The Dawn Heals Us. Been a big fan ever since. This song evokes the feelings of listening to that record. Major "A Guitar And a Heart" vibes. Can't wait to see them live again in April at the Detroit show. I love M83!

Some of my earliest memories of KZbin are watching the videos for "Don't Save Us..." and "Teen Angst" over and over. Pontiac had good songs in their commercials. Cheers!

Heard this song for the first time as I was walking through the Atlanta airport. I was there for a job interview, and finally received an offer this time (This was my 4th time interviewing for this position) This song just perfectly encapsulated the feeling of relief, optimism, and pure bliss that I felt in that moment and the next thing I knew tears were just streaming down my face. But they were happy tears because to me this song reminds me that I am more than worthy of the good things that happen to me in life. I haven't been dealt the best of cards in the last decade or so, but this song brings me hope that there are better things on the horizon. Absolutely in love with this song and this music video. ❤

[@ijustneedmyself]

So glad you found M83 and what a beautiful song to discover them by. Keep pushing. It's hard, but you can do it as is evidenced by the fact that you are here still. Have you listened to more M83 aside from these two songs?

I also discovered them by that song. I like to listen to it before sleep. It brings beautiful calm sensation

@@ijustneedmyself yes, I found them back in 2016 through the song “Intro ft Zola Jesus”, I think it was a soundtrack in some movie. I love “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming”.
