Zach_N Photography [squidude] I know I'm late, but Drop the Poptart was one of Deadmua5's unreleased songs on Soundcloud, and it had this instrumental. He basically did a mashup of Colleen's vocals with the instrumental (I got this information from The Wonky Angle)
Probably one of the most beautiful songs done by these two. It’s about Colleen’s grandfather when she saw him wasting away into his death. Joel did such a justice to this song it’s like a journey through emotions of losing a loved one. Absolutely perfect!
49 years old. Been an edm-head since Kraftwerk in high school in the 80’s while everyone else was listening to 80’s rock (hipster cred?). Discovered the mau5 when “Clockwork” dropped and was like “what is THIS?!?!” He’s been blowing my mind ever since.
This comment is pretty old but in case you see it, or for anyone else, Joel has worked with Colleen previously on another really spectacular track, Seeya, off the while(1>2) album
Colleen is phenomenal. I love this song, but I enjoy watching her sing it acoustic just as much. Woman is an Angel. Her acoustic version of "seeya" is also incredible.
ThatOtherDrummer because all the feel good bangers don’t need to be in the mainstream cus the mainstream ears can’t hear the real thing.... just saying

Look at me now, then look away Can you tell me what to do? Your eyes, they no longer speak for you Inside, tell me where you hide the truth Inside, tell me where you hide the truth [Chorus] If you want me to stay I need you to know You can never, ever leave me Alone If you want me to stay I need you to know I can't I can never let you go I can never let you go [Verse] Breathe it in now, then breathe it out Let the air flow over me Up high, can you tell me what you see?

The progression, such a beautiful ❤️ BUILD UP & progression... LOVE❤it, every time I hear it... Mih at da CLUB, right now, in this moment... GIVE 🙏 THX! Many Blessings🙏 to ALL...YEAH MON! 1❤LOVE
This always brings back to the last time I saw my grandfather responsive and talking before the cancer took over his body. At that point his eyes were open but no words came out of his mouth. Just agony and pain read from his eyes. Until his final breath was he at peace.
Teobenitez yea same here, it was called drop the poptart and was 15 min long, I was totally blown away that it wasn't getting released or wasn't on the album. Glad it got an official release after all
Somewhere on RUclips I first heard this and loved it, but was slightly turned off by a commenter who mentioned the lyrics were about stalking an ex-lover. The lyrics don't fit perfectly with that point of view, but I accepted that and moved on: it's still a great track. This was a month ago, or so. I just read Colleen's explanation about her collaboration with deadmau5 and where this song came from, I like that sort of thing, and in it she wrote that the lyrics were written for and about her dying father. Sad that I got the lyrics so wrong in the first place, happy that it's such a beautiful piece of music with all the love in the world contained within it.
...you can never, ever leave me alone. ...I can never let you go. I knew, without question, exactly what this was about....those words are Flooded with emotion. Like, raw, frayed wire emotion. Sadness, certainly...also frustration, supplication (Pleading), weariness, a resigned sense of Duty....and....ah, a Possessiveness. The last, 'I can never let you go.' Its Heartbreaking every time I hear her sing...but also comforting to know I'm not, nor was I ever, alone with those same feelings storming and raging through me. Actually realizing everyone, eventually, knows grief like this in some way made it a little easier...less personal. Thank you Christina.
This track is amazing, her vocals are beautiful and oh man, when the bass fully drops at 3.18 its devastating on the four 12's i run in my car! So few i know have ever heard this track and im introducing it to everyone and so far not a single person has disliked it :)
I've been listening to some crappy downloaded version of this song every day for the past year. I'm still not bored of it. The radio edit of Stay felt... gutted. Some parts were missing. This is what I wanted for a long time now. Thanks :)
Exactly. I kept listening to the 13-minute version for months, and then these two versions came out. This one is okay, but the radio version seems like it's for all the people who can't wait for the fast parts and can't appreciate a mellow tune.
+Derpancakes It's actually for radios, thus called a radio edit, and the reason why it's so short is because they can't play the original because it costs more or whatever. BTW sorry for my English, I'm Czech.
I can't simply "Drop a like" for this song, I have to say: IT'S SIMPLY AMAZING. I've been listening for this song (the 13" version) for months. Great job Joel & Colleen :3.
Colleen D'Agostino needs to be more known. Her voice is beautiful
facts
preeeaach
I'm looking her up now her voice truly is beautiful
Not only the voice, all her energy and emotion in the music
She colabs with deadmau5 bro.... that's a lifetime made
When I learned that she wrote this song to her father, who was dying, it bring tears to my eyes
For as often as i have listened to this song. Probably over 1000x . This hit me at home . Relatable reasoning
Me too! =(
Damn ❤🩹
Man, Deadmau5 is the King of build up across all electronic and dance genres. Insane.
I could listen to the buildup sequence of this song over and over and over again...never gets old. TOTALLY agree, Deadmau5 has build-ups on LOCK!👌👌🙌🙌
He really is haha
"(Drop The Poptart Edit" fucking hell joel
Geeeee8 what does it even mean?

holy shit i never realized that
I just read an article about that, talk about inspiration for an amazing beat
Actually it was about her dad.
@@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada where can I find this article?
Joel is a celestial and with her vocals, it’s perfection defined
One of my fave pieces of music ever.... and I've been listening to music for over 45 years. Thanks Colleen / Joel.
wow, that's pretty impressive, I have only really been listening to music for around 10 years in comparison. (I'm only 16)
No, I'm just old!
soundfx68 I’m 33 and been 20 years now.

7:50-8:20 is one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard... there's so much emotion and energy in her voice!
shes amazing. but we have Taylor Swift leading the charts.....
It's even more moving when you realize she's singing these words to her father on his deathbed. Very underrated song and vocal performance.
@danielsatz9182 man fuck Taylor swift her music sucks ass
When Arcadia dropped i cried.
I've waited for the official release of this song for years and it's finally here! :D
07:49 My favorite part. Her voice is so powerful and intoxicating
its unbelievable. i wish she sang it that way more often in this song.
Colleen is phenomenal. I love this song, but I enjoy watching her sing it acoustic just as much. Woman is an Angel. Her acoustic version of "seeya" is also incredible.
lol
I remember yesterday there were 21 dislikes, now only 20... respect to that one guy:D
+Souless Valkyreon Lord God
+Gergő Gazdag I Remeber
+Sergent Hartman 23 dislikes :(((
now there are 31
now r just 30, respect to another one
Super great song
why are you literally everywhere (not in a bad way tho)
Loving that progression, this is the sort of Deadmau5 I enjoy!
Why is this song not more famous?!
Gerard Mascarenhas no idea, i think this is some of the best work Joel has ever done
to slow for radio
cause its a good one
ThatOtherDrummer because all the feel good bangers don’t need to be in the mainstream cus the mainstream ears can’t hear the real thing.... just saying
@@JohnJJ1221 agreed mate
Arcadia drops at 5:33! I see you Joel ;)
Why is it called Arcadia?
@@thomassvoice7350he probably just got the pinball SFX at the beginning of that track and decided to go for the name
I missed this so much without even knowing it.
This song proves that there is never ever a legitimate reason to listen to the radio edit over the full cut
*Channel 43 has joined the chat*

@@saketbakshi4235 ok I'll
Professional Griefers sometimes
Litteraly I Remember, I mean 9 minutes is fine, but you know
This song makes love to my soul ❤️
Verse]
Breathe it in now, then breathe it out
Let the air flow over me
Up high, can you tell me what you see?
This life, is it more than just a dream?
Look at me now, then look away
Can you tell me what to do?
Your eyes, they no longer speak for you
Inside, tell me where you hide the truth
Inside, tell me where you hide the truth
[Chorus]
If you want me to stay
I need you to know
You can never, ever leave me
Alone
If you want me to stay
I need you to know
I can't
I can never let you go
I can never let you go
[Verse]
Breathe it in now, then breathe it out
Let the air flow over me
Up high, can you tell me what you see?
This life, is it more than just a dream?
Look at me now, then look away
Can you tell me what to do?
Your eyes, they no longer speak for you
Inside, tell me where you hide the truth
Inside, tell me where you hide the truth
[Chorus]
If you want me to stay
I need you to know
You can never, ever leave me
Alone
If you want me to stay
I need you to know
I can't
I can never let you go
I can never let you go

what a wonderful voice and anthem by Deadmau5 ! truly BRILLIANT COMPOSITION
Masterpiece of art. This progressive house is quality. Keep up like this your great work. And the vocal is well mastered.
I heard it before release. I feel special
same, haha. it's such a beautiful song
Teobenitez yea same here, it was called drop the poptart and was 15 min long, I was totally blown away that it wasn't getting released or wasn't on the album. Glad it got an official release after all
***** it was actually around 17 mins because he added 'somewhere up here' on the end
Teobenitez u are special
Don't we all? :D
Best written intro ever!
DnB¡¡¡ nicee
Absolutely phenomenal; the variations were perfectly timed.
mau5trap is gold
The more I listen to it, the more I like it
This is easily my Favorite of the EP. Such a deep emotional song. Deep Synths and Voice and Lyrics. Perfect blend. Bravo.

Paul Vaughan beautiful track, and this just makes it that much more beautiful, thanks for the insight 👍
I agree w all of the comments but does it really matter.. lol nah it doesn’t cus WHAT A TRACK!! That goosebump feelgood shite!! Mmmmmmmmm
Thank you for putting this track in such beautiful perspective for me...
Wow, bit of a tear developing here. :/
I tear up every time I hear this song
I really like this song once it gets started, has a really chill vibe.
I have been waiting for this for a long time. Thank you for an amazing song :)
The chord progression changes from desolate to uplifting and it's sooo cool
this deserves so much more views.... master piece
Wait is that the chord structure from arcadia!? Sweet
I think It is! Although It's transposed within an entirely different key. Guy's a genius.
Whoever dislikes has absolutely no hearing whatsoever!! What a groove!! Hands Down
absolute sound innit
la mejor canción del progressive

Hope you had an Awesome Birthday!!! 👍
Simple. Genial. Respect to Deadmau5 and Colleen D'Agostino
This is beyond on point
I am still obsessed with this a year later. Especially the break(?) at 4:18...uggghhhh! I mean, the whole song is SO great.
But 4:18 tho...
back again...still obsessed. still getting all the tingles.
the perfect mix of Strobe, Raise Your Weapon and I Remember
This track is amazing, her vocals are beautiful and oh man, when the bass fully drops at 3.18 its devastating on the four 12's i run in my car!
So few i know have ever heard this track and im introducing it to everyone and so far not a single person has disliked it :)
Deadmau5 makes some of the most beautiful music.
This mix made my face melt, it's The Mix
Track is life changing.
One of the best songs. Timeless. So beautiful, her voice. All the feels. This song takes me to another place.
Never have I ever listened to a song on repeat as much as this one!
Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever
fantastic song
7:49 when Colleen goes absolutely the fuck OFF on the vocals. She's ridiculously talented.
I've been listening to some crappy downloaded version of this song every day for the past year. I'm still not bored of it. The radio edit of Stay felt... gutted. Some parts were missing. This is what I wanted for a long time now. Thanks :)

+Jakub Kovi that and the radio DJs are usually on a tight schedule
This song really changes once you lose someone. thanks mau5 for carrying us through
so much music out there.....
This so deserves more views!

agreed
BRASIL ❤🇧🇷
For me, at around the 5:00 mark I love the build up and the drop goes so well!
I found my way here from a deadnau5 song and I am so glad I did. Love her voice
That shite goes right thru the brain, goes down the spine, and moves the soul to perfection! This is what makes music melodies!
Absolutely love this song, Thanks Joel. Keep it up
this is fucking amazing. 9 minutes never felt so short.
Hope Deadmau5 is gonna play this beat at île Sonic in Montreal this summer!!!
I can't simply "Drop a like" for this song, I have to say: IT'S SIMPLY AMAZING. I've been listening for this song (the 13" version) for months. Great job Joel & Colleen :3.
Still one of my favs❤❤
I remember 2
HUGE HUGE CHOOOOOON!❤❤❤❤😈😈😈👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I find this edit the best part of that Deadmau5 Chill mix, it just takes the 2 hrs to the next lvl
omg that kick is sexy
Deadmau5 is like the David Gilmour of electronica, also love the vocals here!
Holy mother have mercy on my soul
I honestly believe this is the best song ever written
the people who disliked this wanted to have that poptart
hell yeah he finally drop the poptart haha ! Really nice vocals
This might be the best song Ive ever heard.
this is some of the best mau5 of all time imo
Perfection.
Brilliant track
Finally
This song has great beats. Love it.
Che capolavoro!
Uno italiano finalmente cazzo
Bellissima !!!
per non parlare di Hybrid - Finished Symphony (Deadmau5 Remix)
This song is such a masterpiece...
this is really a masterpiece
Masterpiece is not the word there are no words to describe how good this tune is! Or even if it is a tune or a message from heaven
Gets better everytime I listen to this.

Song breaks me every time.
Arcadia!!
