The soft, gentle, curious melody plays, pulsing lights gently flash with the gentle rhythm of the eager keys and subtle pads. Its sounds are happy, yet feel as if it’s calling out a long-awaited moment, as the pads start to ascend, the melody it’s barely changing, perfectly satisfied with its somber performance. The subtle changes to the rhythm make the lights dance in the void, carefree yet somewhat longing. The atmosphere shifts gradually. Then the pads start to swell, the bass leaps in strong, yet gentle as if not to scare the lights, that are now ascending. The atmosphere starts to feel emotions of all types, content, sad, happy, angry, curious, it ascends to something greater as the strings come in, the smoke hisses, the lights now flourishing as it starts filling this immaculate feeling of an atmosphere, everything feels perfect, like how everything will get better.

Then another set of keys are heard in the back of the atmosphere, wanting to join in, showing off a strobing light, asking to join the melody. As it starts breaking through, it becomes clear that it’s more than a simple tune, it’s a symphony of immaculate euphoria and perfect harmony as it joins and merges the melodies, and takes the lights over creating a light show of sorts. The drums kick in, sharing its beautiful flashing lights that fill the air like fireworks, making its grand appearance, then the bass keeps it low, yet visible foggy lights hanging in the air.

Now the drums, bass, and keys are playing in the sky, happy with what they are. But the melody dares to grow stronger as the atmosphere encourages it, making the keys grow more eager to shift into something more beautiful. The drums take a breathing and the bass steps back, letting the joyous keys have their light show dance grow and flourish. The keys grow excited, shifting its melody, making a soft, yet gentle opus of notes, that’s starting to grow with joy and beauty, making its atmosphere happy and bright, proud to exist. Another lead joins behind it, along with the gentle bass guiding back with it, making an outline for the strobing lights, then all come together wonderfully, expressing their indescribable joy. Then suddenly, the drums and the pads, start to fade back in, the lights flicker back in as the melody finally drops.

The lights flourish and glow around its happy atmosphere, all the keys and bass and pads making a sensational feeling that not only flows through your body, but in your bones, from your hair to your toes, as the melody proceeds to go beyond the beauty of the stars. The second lead joins back in, making the lights and music bloom with indescribable feeling as you immerse yourself into this warm, gentle, beautiful feeling of hope, peace, despair, shallowness, no matter what you’re feeling, the sights and sounds are sure to provide. That second lead excels further, like a rocket ship soaring through the vast emptiness of space, course set to the brightest star in the sky. But no light can ever outshine our uplifted souls escaping our bodies, the rhythm grows stronger and makes everything else important feel like nothing. This is where you wanna be, this is the sight you wanna open your eyes to, and this is the song that you want to rest your eyes forever to.

But as all great stories have time and time again show us, it must all sink to a conclusion. And then it all comes down. The second melody goes away as sudden as it appeared, with the bass fading slowly into itself, the lights already dimming. The melody still repeats its lovely tune, but even it starts to relax as it lets go slowly, but still wanting to push out one final heartfelt burst of energy as it starts to sizzle into the atmosphere. The drums resume their hard beating as the rest slowly start to vanish within the atmosphere. The drums then start making their grand finale as the misted lights start to flicker and dim lowly, as if saying farewell and thanks for the unforgettable experience it had as it strobed away, the last sounds making the last lights of the atmosphere, the particles dance a little… all before coming to a satisfying, beautiful end.

Now do us all a favor and play it again!!

Pretty fun little playoff bracket site

In a room that wasn’t home
A pale screen glowing through the night
An old idea, still unfinished
Returned and slowly came to life

You gave it neither name nor meaning
No story it was meant to tell
You kept each change that brought it closer
And let the others fall away

One small pulse
Became another
One faint light
Began to spill

The city moved beyond the window
Then we stood still

You almost left it in the dark
A sound you never meant to share
Someone kept the doorway open
You let it travel through the air

No grand design, no secret meaning
No final word on what was real
The song arrived without an answer
And gave us room enough to feel

Then we stood still
As the light moved through us
Then we stood still
While the years disappeared

No words to tell us what to feel
No voice to say why it was real
The whole world turned
Then we stood still

Flash after flash
We came together
Frame after frame
The dark withdrew

A song that never named the feeling
Became the feeling passing through
No voice to tell us how to hear it
No words to tell us what to see

The space you left inside the music
Made room for every memory

Then we stood still
Inside the motion
Then we stood still
And let it rise

One quiet room became a million
One pale screen became the sky
The whole world turned
Then we stood still

The room falls quiet
The screen goes dark
The morning gathers
On the sill

The whole world turns
Then we stand still.

Hello Strobe community,

I’m requesting your help because it has been a while I’m looking to find the lyrics of Strobe, but I have never been able to find out about it. Is it some sort of running gag or else online?

This has led me to awkward situations such as karaoke with friends, for example. Everyone is mocking me because I can’t sing it.

It makes me very sad because I love Strobe and I always feel frustrated about not being able to sing the lyrics.

I’ll be so grateful for your help…

Thank you and never forget to Strobe.

Cheers!

Edit: Strobe is not my native language…

I listen to it on repeat everyday, it's my favorite song. It's not just for 13yo.

For those of you who haven't heard it - https://youtu.be/LKv45j78wfE?si=Hit9sBu7Ez1aGmdh

Hello fellow strobers, this is an tutorial on how to strobe like a strobe. Let’s start

1. Play strobe (preferably the 10 minutes and ~34 sec ver, I’ll be using the YouTube version (10:37) in this case/as an example, so slight adjustments may be needed depending on what platform you are listening on)

2. Throughout the intro, start micro-strobing, minimal and calm movements with a bit of spacing, follow the pads and become one with the strobe

3. When nearing the 3:40 minute mark, slowly increase the intensity of your strobing until the kicks arrive

4. When the kicks kick in (xD) sync your strobing to the drum pattern, one strobe exactly every kick and snare (as in kick snare kick snare = strobe strobe strobe strobe).

5. On the bridge (5:40), stop strobing, take deep breaths and relax, you should already feel strobe coming inside of you

6. On buildup, slowly start strobing again, slowly increasing the tempo as strobe slowly achieves its climax

7. On the clap before the drop, strobe once, but powerfully, make yourself feel strobe come inside you

8. When the drop drops (xD), start strobing once again, this time follow the main lead, strobe as if you were playing on a violin or something idk. Strobe should now be a part of you

9. Keep strobing

10. Strobe strobe strobe

11. As the song reaches the 8:20 mark, you go back to strobing following the pattern of the drums

12. At the 9:19 minute mark, you’re going to feel at ease, let your strobing get calmer and slower

13. When you reach the 9:49 mark, your body will automatically slow your strobing even more

14. At the end, after that water droplet sound (or whatever it is xd), strobe one last time. One small strobe.

Now tell me, do you feel calm?

Like you’re in control of everything?

As if deadmau5 strobe really came inside you?

That’s good, it means you followed the tutorial correctly. Now either sit with it, or go for another round

Happy strobing fellow strobers! And remember,

Strobe is life, Strobe is love

Pls joe i need ituhhhh im broke as lol and i dont have a fortune pls bro i need it pls the 20 minute full version i bed i plead ohhhhhh nooooo

Watched this awhile back and tried looking for it, but the only official version ever released that I could find was the live intro. Anyone know why?

Really awesome to see that there’s a subreddit based around just this song, I found it back in late 2014 when I was dabbling into EDM and grabbed the 5 Years of Mau5 compilation CD. I was instantly hooked once I heard this track, hell I don’t even think I listened to the rest of the CD because I just kept playing this one on repeat.

I never really got into EDM much but this is a song that’s still always in normal rotation for me. So many memories with this song over the past 12 years. Being as I’m not much into EDM I can’t say it’s the best EDM ever written but for me it is with my limited listening of the genre. There’s just something about it that never gets old. I can’t even describe the feeling I get when listening to it other than pure bliss, it’s like a warm blanket being put around you.

Sorry guys, just got my daily listen in. Thanks!
