Encoder is not a sad song anymore! The whole album Immersion, and especially this song helped me a lot to get trough the process of my dad passing away back in 2010. Thank You Pendulum!!!!!! See you in Glasgow in 2024! 😁

[@alymac1997]

Sorry for loss of your dad. This song is one that even to today the lyrics hit home whether end of a relationship or the passing of friends and relatives.

[@XenoHunter616]

Glasgow is gonna be lit x

[@Hirssa]

Sorry to hear, glad you were able to process through that. Enjoy Glasgow, I'll be there!

Rob is a musical genius. He created a brand new genre 13 years ago and only success has happened. Pendulum are one of the most unique bands around. See them live and sleep when you are dead.

[@trav8787]

Please elaborate on this genre you speak off? Generally curious what you are referring too

2:44 Rob cheering up the crowd and jumping 😭🖤🖤🖤 something I never thought would happen

[@sierrafly8669]

Lol. What he gives up in stage presence, he makes up for with his pure talent. And we love him even more for that. No cheese, just tunes.

[@staff_sergeant661]

SHOCKKKK I WAS WAITING FOR 10 YEARS So he could stop shying

[@Deiki.]

WTF, that Hardstyle part was insane

[@trewlawson5687]

ROB FINALLY SPEAKS AGAIN

[@Marcel442]

Rob Swire is fast becoming icon material. His voice gives me goosebumps every time.

[@stenn.4160]

I never heard this song to be performed live, Rob singing without his Z-tar And on top of all, Pendulum having switched to Hardstyle for this one ??? WHAT A SURPRISE !!! 💙

[@orionthehunter8363]

they rarely performed this song as this was the last song before their hiatus, i think it has been performed like a total of 8-10 times

[@jamesrussell2259]

Awesome video, thanks for posting! Cool to see Rob walking around and dancing like that

[@BringItOn_Home]

Holy shit, Pendulum hardstyle/hardcore. I did not expect this. I am effing HERE FOR IT.

[@yannikjung1478]

I can't stop wishing everyday for yo uto announce a show that I have the posssibility to see you again.... last time was 2010 in Munich, still just one of the best memories I have

[@yannikjung1478]

encoder is one of my favorite songs since many years but I never got to see it live.... so thanks for this upload

[@Rivan98]

Long time without hearing this song live

[@dahotfunk]

Thanks for the upload. Superb recording quality!

[@theboywholifts-wb9pq]

Anytime, thanks!

[@AlyxxTheRat]

It is insane seeing Pendulum making a comeback like this. I LOVE the new tracks and fuck yeah, make Encoder a happy song. It's always been a perfect closing track for a set.

[@lepermessiyah5823]

Rob is such a legend, shame we dont see more of him. Love his voice, always goes well with Deadmau5

[@Leahmxxnsxng404]

In love w/ the hardstyle ending ❤❤❤❤

[@buzzfunk]

He must feel so uncomfortable without his midi guitar. I recall him saying ways ago that he hated the live thing. Maybe now hes older he is enjoying it more.

[@nothisistoni]

I kinda love to see him get a bit more comfortable at moving around and playing around with the vocals, but I gotta admit that he kinda looks a bit awkward walking around on stage. But I'm sure he'll grow into it

[@MythicSuns]

I'm surprised to see him being more talkative; I've always known him as that guy who is quiet and reserved around anyone that isn't asking him anything technical or isn't a personal friend of his....of course I might just be projecting myself a little bit there 😂.

[@MohrJan]

@@MythicSuns Imo you could see at their Reading live act in 2022 that Rob is more outgoing now. I think some user also wrote that he stated he'd feel more comfortable with improvising on stage today :)

[@Dark_In_The_Light]

In the documentary they just released, they said they were enjoying the live shows because they could actually focus on playing, instead of worrying about the computers and gear etc

[@galahad6189]

lmao I can see me and my sister in this vid hahahaha

[@StrikerHS]

Holy effin shyte that hardcore part did it😮

[@Leopard_Lover]

My fav song ❤ loved this thanks for the share

[@brianjnr97]

They need to release this version asap

[@fausto123]

sounds a little bit different from the original but I like it

[@DavidMetcalf93]

I hope they play this version on this year's tour, it would be insane! 😬

[@vickicollis]

It doesn’t disappoint! Saw them last night 😍

[@fraxxcjangerl7195]

Wait at the end that was Hardystyle?

[@milchi5122]

Hardtechno/Hardstyle, yeah

[@dmwmm]

more hardcore than hardtechno

[@Dragonisser]

happy hardcore

[@fgaucoffee744]

@@Dragonisser Makes me wonder; maybe Rob made a double meaning out of saying the song is more of a "happy" tune now. El Hornet is really into producing happy hardcore, so the theory holds some potential!

[@Deiki.]

​​​@@dmwmmmore Hardstyle than Hardcore. Because the "kong kong kong" and high pitched synth.

[@staff_sergeant661]

He can talk? HE CAN TALK!!!!!

[@UnrealHighlights]

Won't lie, they took one of my all time favourite songs by them and butchered the living hell out of it Saying that I still can't wait to see them live on Friday 🔥

[@punishedfoxo]

It's not even so much hardstyle. More a slightly alternative happy hardcore, with a more psy-style kick. If this is the start of Pendulum going in the SEFA/Dr. Peacock direction, where hard dance is mixed with contemporary instruments, I'm all on board. But I can see how a band would look at the crowds at events like DEFQON and think "Damn, we could put on such a good show with that stage." Especially considering their Aussie background. All they need to do is mix up the kicks a little, get some variation, even if it's just a real, heavy kick for the anti-climax.
