M83 - Lower Your Eyelids To Die With The Sun

Taken from Before The Dawn Heals Us, M83’s third studio album, and perhaps the one that catapulted their success in North America. Lauded by Spin as one of 2005’s Next Big Things, with glowing press from Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Vice, Pitchfork and a myriad of other publications, M83 saw their first major television commercial with “Don't Save Us From The Flames” featured in a Pontiac ad. 2005 also saw M83 perform at the prestigious Lollapalooza, Coachella, Austin City Limits, and headlining KEXP’s Benefit Concert in Seattle.

I always come back to M83 when life is tough. This song is a work of art.

[travistovar]

M83 has a way of making you feel some type if way...
its euphoria
Sadness
Endless happiness.

[ashleyoliveira]

I hope one day I’ll meet someone that makes me feel the way this song makes me feel

[nooah]

Sometimes I come to read all the beautiful comments from songs likes this and it really fills me with joy knowing all the nice and good hearted people out there. It doesnt matter where you are in the world, remember we are all connected as one. 🌌

Going through cancer for the third time, , , love knowing I get to hear beautiful music like this before something happens, God willing I get to hear it for many years to come

This song puts me to sleep when I was carrying my first child. It's like an instant lullaby that my baby and I appreciate. Unfortunately, 5 months in, miscarriage happened and I still listen to this every night and I know my baby girl is too. Thank you for this gentle piece of memory that I can live in over and over again. Love.

*wherever you are in the world, just know that life will get better. you've survived up until this point, that means you can survive until the end. you'll find your way out, i promise*

[viniciushideki]

This song celebrates the beauty of things that end. Simple as that. It can be death, a relationship that didn't work in the end, a son leaving their parents house to make his own path... It celebrates the closure of things that, directly or not, starts another cycle, until itself comes to an end. And it is beatiful because, celebrating things that end means celebrating everything. Everything starts from a ending.

[mrnocaed]

When I'm low..
I come here...

Thanks M83

[olzwolz]

This song is echoing through the cosmos a trillion years from now. It is the memory of us being carried on the final beam of light from our long dead star.

I would like to thank M83 for making this song that has flown under my radar until last night. I have been in a rough shape lately due to my depression but have not been able to let go and shead some tears, and then this song came up on auto-play and I was captivated by the song and it made me feel enough to cry. I really needed that, thank you again.

[thomashauer]

I am 27 years old and never in my life have I been touched by music in the way M83 has touched me. I am not religious but this is what heaven must sound like.

[roarblast]

this song brought me into the moment. something I struggle to find, a place where all suffering dies and the beauty of existing is absolute.

[sixstringedthing]

This isn't a song that you just listen to.
It's a song that happens to you.

[kimthames]

Never in my entire life has a song so moved me as this one has. It has carried me through some of the roughest times in my life, losing my brother, feeling alone and lost. This song touches you deep in your very heart and soul and pulls you out of whatever darkness you may be sinking into. This song reminds me what it means to live and to love, to feel and to simply be. These words definitely don't do this song justice, for emotions such as those stirred by music such as this simply cannot be defined. What this song means...you just feel it, deep inside. Your soul smiles, your heart glows. You're one with life and love and everything around you. This song is the universe holding your hand and telling you that everything is going to be okay...because you are loved.

Thanks M83. For giving life to this ethereal and exquisite piece of music, and for sharing it with the world.

[Alexj]

Wouldn't mind shutting my eyes one last time while listening to this beautiful piece of music.

[thatsthepointe]

Why do I suddenly go into an existential crisis and have sad and happy thoughts that make me want to cry for hours...

[yellowdog]

I ran a half marathon today and this song was on my playlist. I remember looking around at everyone running and for some reason this song really encapsulated this transcendental feeling of mutual love, experience and humanity.

[samkansasnancarrow]

The first time I heard this song was about a decade ago. I was watching the Top Gear Vietnam special and as the sun set on the beautiful country of Vietnam a small section of this song played. I never knew the song, but remember the feeling it gave me. Utterly content and blissful. I watched it again for the first time recently and I heard the song again and I felt exactly the same 10 years on.

This time, due to the advancements we’ve made in 10 years, I could Shazam the song and find this full length masterpiece. It’s taken me 10 years to hear the full song, and it was worth every moment waiting.

[duncanosuka]

This song is angelic... It's transcendent... It's peaceful and sad at the same time... Seeing these comments just reminds me how we're all still beautiful...
Peace, luck and love to anyone reading this. 2021.
