I am so happy you found the post and commented here. And I am SO happy that you're a fan of M83 and that we dig a lot of their same tunes.<br /><br />I love music. LOVE love love music. But M83 is the only band that literally altered the course of my life. It's so remarkable how that can happen. "Intro" remains my favorite, and likely always will. That song changed me. <br /><br />I'm curious, where are you seeing them in April? Coachella? Gonna be a great line up!

M83 is by far my favorite band of all time and has had such an impact on my life, so seeing someone with the same passion is truly exciting! "Intro" is my favorite as well. I've never heard something that has moved me like that do this day. Some of my other favorites are "Raconte", "Splendor", "Outro", and "Run Into Flowers". I can't wait to see M83 in April (for the first time actually).

The latter was a huge influence on my film, Wait. I've listened to is thousands and thousands of times. "Fields, Shorelines and Hunters" wasn't on my 2013 list (which is <a href="http://www.andsoitbeginsfilms.com/2013/09/top-10-m83-songs-updated.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>), and it wouldn't make my list today, though I don't think "Boats" or "Another Wave" would either. I have yet to hear an M83 song I didn't love, yet when making a Top 10, there can only be 10.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-626013711955685282015-10-12T05:33:39.354-04:002015-10-12T05:33:39.354-04:00In my opinion 'where the boats go' and ...In my opinion 'where the boats go' and 'another wave from you' are the best songs M83 ever did...<br />Very sad to see them not listed.

So thank YOU for asking for my help!<br /><br />Okay, first off, <i>Digital Shades Vol. 1</i> and <i>You and the Night</i> are two nearly wordless M83 albums that are very, very soft. I love them both, but remember, they are mostly instrumental.<br /><br />Great soft M83 songs include (** means the track is instrumental):<br />"In the Cold I'm Standing"<br />"Farewell/Goodbye"<br />"I Guess I'm Floating"** - one of my favorites<br />"Safe"<br />"Let Men Burn Stars"<br />"In Church (Cyann & Ben Version)"**<br />"Where the Boats Go"**<br />"Train to Pluton"**<br />"When Will You Come Home?"**<br />"Soon, My Friend"<br />"Another Wave from You"**<br />"Splendor"<br />"Fountains"**<br />"Last Saturday"**<br />"At the Party"**<br />"Violet Tree"**<br />"My Face"**<br />"You, Appearing" - another favorite of mine<br />"Midnight Souls Still Remain"** - a maddening track to some, but haunting and brilliant<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-90312945883983778022014-08-10T18:40:06.530-04:002014-08-10T18:40:06.530-04:00I adore the songs Outro, My Tears are Becoming a S...I adore the songs Outro, My Tears are Becoming a Sea, I Need You, Wait, and Too late. The soft ones tend to be my favourites and lately I have been searching for others to listen too but they have quite a few albums so I found this list and was wondering if you know of some of their songs that sound similar/soft?

I think I'm the only one out of my friends that enjoy these type of music. All they listen to is pop and hip hop which I listen to also but too much of it can be redundant. I've played Raconte in my car and my friends would laugh and say things like the kid is on drugs. The thing about children is that it's comes natural to have an imaginative, creative mind without the use of drugs. Raconte to me is about innocent imaginations that is somehow lost on certain adults hence, my friends. This entire album gives me a sense of optimism found in dreams. I first was introduce to M83 through the trailer of "Cloud Atlas", I can listen to "Outro" repeatedly without ever getting bored. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0LLkNma0lI This one of the best edits I have seen for this song. The scene where the kid is playing with the kite just makes me smile.

And thanks for commenting here, it means a lot!<br /><br />Song tip: M83's album, <i>Digital Shades: Vol. 1</i> is almost entirely instrumental and is definitely similar to Angelo Badalamenti's work for Blue Velvet.
