So sad to hear of Luis’s passing today, his music is so hauntingly beautiful, thank you for this gift, RIP.

[@mortiiism]

RIP Luis, thank you for the music.

[@Indigocell]

I discovered his music not long before. Sort of off-topic, but this is the sort of music I think would have been perfect for The Crow. RIP.

[@Vinyl_Maven]

Rest in peace and love, Luis. My heart is broken. 🖤 These lyrics really hit hard now...

[@erikamackley]

RIP Your art means so much to so many 🖤

[@xfoxhound12x]

Rest in peace to 2 amazing artists

[@21jvar]

It was a great coincidence that I went to a bar in Miami and was able to find this excellent musician who is great, rest in peace

[@Skyrilla]

Rest in peace, man... I feel like you kind of wanted to. Thank you for the music.

[@ModeMan101]

RIP Robert Forster.

Rest in peace, you wonderful soul. You helped me get through some of my darkest days. Sad to see you go. Hope we meet again.💔🖤💔

[@nebd1760]

recently found the soft moon's beautiful music only to realise he just recently passed away. Rest in heaven luis

[@DJBlueX]

I’ve been a fan of The Soft Moon since “Zeros” and was blown away by “Deeper” when it came out nearly ten years ago, they were a regular part of my commute back in those days and I exercised to his final album “Exister” pretty regularly when it dropped. I was looking through r/nin about a month ago in a thread about discussing albums by other artists and was shocked to find out that Luis Vasquez had passed away earlier this year. RIP Luis Vasquez and Robert Forster.

[@katrinagrindley6441]

I'm so, so devastated... this loss hits the community hard. Rest in peace, Luis. 💔

[@DenisWasting_time]

Great music, great video... RIP Robert Forster, great actor...

[@natigoldstudio]

one of the best darktune ive heard

[@cecilyjsmusicvideos7619]

I can''t believe Luis entered eternal life recently. His music is soul escaping. Deepest condolences to his family and friends. Such a huge loss. Such a senseless loss.Ugh.

[@MollyMcBooter]

Listened to this a lot when I was living with my mom as she died of cancer & struggling to wean herself off pain meds. What a rough time, but this song was like being hugged in the dark when nobody else noticed what we were going through or gave a damn.

[@dancairns318]

Sorry for your loss- RIP

[@denmun9722]

i can honestly say this is one of the greatest songs i have heard in years....years.

[@MonoChorMe]

The bass guitar style The Soft Moon makes is simply wonderful... Its the epiphany definition of pure gothic tune... Try listening to the song by them called "Alive" - absolute gothic bass guitar heaven! Love this band - its one of a kind!

[@cris4529]

That song, this and all the albums are Darkwave.

[@AlexisThanasis]

i'm in love with this band, they have this familiar but unique vibe, its strange

[@joopezixzixzix]

Like new order on xanax, imho.

yup. i love it!

This band would do great for a serial killer movie soundtrack. No cause it is "scary" cause it's not. But they really capture this primal, dark and lonely feel to a T.

Wasting time Don't stop the world, you know you can't You have to lift what's only real Can't stop the world and start again You have to feel what's only real You've gotta take life by the hand Let the substance close you in Hope to one day come alive You have to take life by the hand Hope to one day understand Don't stop the world, you know you can't You have to lift what's only real Can't stop the world and start again You have to feel what's only real

[@buckeyestrait8631]

This song…. my lord. I listened to this song on a plane ride to Iceland in August of 2021, and just actually being high in the air with this song playing over my earbuds truly felt… surreal. For context I should say this song feels like ascension.

[@overtrist]

To me this band is as if NIN and Depeche Mode had a baby.

[@pronghornllc2200]

overtrist I can definitely feel the NIN influence

[@Jcgriffith91]

Some of the more melodic stuff has The Cure sound to it.

[@madmoiselle007]

Eulogy absolutely 😎

[@michaelab.5170]

Yeah, there’s so much.. I hear Cocteau Twins, hints of Joy Division, Depeche Mode for certain.. Some NIN.. This song gives me the chills.. it’s freaking beyond lovely 💔

[@NickMac91]

Well I was Gunna post something very similar but you beat me by a year lol.

It´s hard to find great music in these times. Recently discovered this band and I´m loving it so far. Reminds me of a darker Tears for Fears with post Violator Depeche Mode. This is brilliant!

Try "she past away" good band

you have to feel what's only real like human connection not artificial connection thru substances

This video reeks of death. But it also adds to the poetry of the song. Rest in peace Robert and Luis.

Really sad watching this years later as a fan of The Soft Moon and Breaking Bad, now that Luis Vasquez and Robert Forster are no longer with us, Rest in Peace. TSM’s music has really helped me get through some dark times in my life during my young adulthood.

I didn’t know Luis passed away, I just found out. I hope he is at peace now. Judging by the lyrics he wrote, he fought many demons in his mind, the poor soul. I’m sad that everyone around him couldn’t reach him in time to help him.
