I love the cars passing by during the night, just like in Slight Night Shiver. I imagine myself lying down on the hood of my car, pondering lifes mysteries.
what i imagine is a daughter and her mother, at a self serve gas station in the middle of most remote areas of the joshua park, close to a paved road, around 1 am.
I have trouble with the beginning of the song due to the very false cadence and tone of the conversation. Obviously it's not an actual conversation. It seems to be more like some woman talking to herself while rocking in the corner of a mental hospital and the music represents her imagined danger and distress, possibly reflecting on earlier childhood trauma.
I agree with @manka6 you really can't judge like that. Your right about it being a good song. but there are certain rap artists and groups who actually do know what music is about.
Please. I'm just like everyone else on the internet. I didn't come here to debate. I came here to shove my opinion down your throats and completely ignore yours in return. So everyone please stop talking.
@desimatee. i am a huge fan of m83 and i also enjoy rap. in fact many rap songs have the emotional talking that you were referring to. based on that fact i do not believe that i or other rap music listeners should be classified as "unmusical." because we typically do not just stick with one genre of music.
@dstarr5d Rap is music, jus cos you dont like it doesnt mean it isnt music. People think of rap as 50 cent, lil wayne and all them talking about life as a gangsta with guns in the hood and cars and women. The point is, that isnt rap. You want real rap then listen to lowkey, akala, doc brown... Because people like these who youve never heard of speak of real life issues, how people struggle, racism, and they try and fight for whats right. Thats rap, and it aint fair when you say its not music...
@rossbats I agree with dstarr5d, everyone needs to shut the fuck up and listen to the music, including you especially whilst your being a stereotypical prick.
@rossbats Shrewsbury, a town about 40 miles out of birmingham, come say hello one day be happy to meet ya. Im sorry but i aint wastin my time talkin to some idiot on a video where people just wanna listen to some amazin music so stop thinkin ur player number 1 and that ur always right cos your not, everyones got their own opinions and their entitles to them so stop looking for a fight and start listening.
It sounds like a young woman is in a trance or some sort of hypnotic regression, and she's recalling a terrifying incident in her past when she was riding in the car with her mom having a nervous breakdown. seems like the mom hallucinates this 'other man'. when she says, 'mama's gonna keep the devil away', it creeped me out, cause it sounds like she's trying to put her kid to sleep so she can drown her and save her from 'him'.
Really? That's weird that everyone thinks about the talking as lame/unnecessary, I think the backing music is awesome, but the talking completely makes the song, it gives off such a powerful and scary feeling, and transitions into the next song on the album really well. I listened to this as I was falling asleep at 330 in the morning and was in the kind of dream stage, the whole song just became one with me and I was terrified, it was rad
@panicathediscosucks i know personally a kid that makes introspective rap, actually he names his project introspective minds. Please don't even try to compare my view and knowledge on music to the radio. You don't know what your talking about.
@desimatee I listen to rap, as a matter of fact, i make rap beats, but i love this music so much, its so surreal and just....beautiful...it gives me inspiration.
@desimatee shut your mouth, Just because you can´t appreciate rap doesn't make it "unmusical", except modern mainstream rap, that's just.. horrible. I agree with you though on the talking, just makes it an even better song
@desimatee I agree with your first two sentences. The third, however, is just further proof people like to criticize and stereotype something they have no knowledge about. It's shameful.
@desimatee To be fair mate, im 15... And there isnt much music I dont like. I could listen to rap/grime all day, but i could also listen to this all day. Dont judge people by what music they like... Its just music at the end of the day. All of it is good, but people just have personal opinions about what they like...
@CreationzMusic Completely agree, tbh I don't like that much rap, but I can completely appreciate it, it's not "unmusical" or a genre of music to look down upon..
@desimatee You sound so hipster! Give your ears some worthy rap music like these hip hop heads : Common, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Nujabes, Pete Rock, The Roots, Braille, Fusik,KOS, KNaan. Gah! There so many of em - so musically incline that you probably havent realised it yet. Huhu~ PEace~
Sounds like they used video game quality voice actors. It's like something you might hear on Resident Evil. Wish the music wasn't being reduced to BGM.
the fact that people are detesting against the words in the song possibly indicates that this track got their attention in a beautifully brute and artistic manner. and that's what mainstream music tends to lack, yes?
This track is sooo creepy and beuatifull on the same time. i was so touched first time i heard this. I get scared and stunned, though im nearly crying because of the fuucking beuatifull music.
First listening to this song i thought this voice is shit, but then i listened to it in full over and over, i was completely addicted it's so scary/depressing. i love it =p
and the guy is french, so he probably couldn't tell it was a bad voice. and i think her playing the voice of the mum and daughter makes it even better, like she's skitso.
