@@harley-gwen6193 homework did have a few throwaway tracks (like Funk Ad and WDPK 83.7), along with some weird songs like Rollin' and Scratchin, Oh Yeah, and Rock n' Roll, which I don't blame people for not liking (especially Rock n' Roll, that song is a headache factory). Still, it is my favorite Daft Punk album, and it's full of absolute bangers
Most underrated of daft punk ever. This is literally digital poesy. Listening this alone with a beer in Thailand comtemplating the sunset over the hills , time does not exist .
I saw this comment and i felt really good about it because some people just think alike without noticing, we have soulmates everywhere it is actually incredible. I do the exact same thing with this song and nobody understand why i choose this particular song for it. It has everything to test if the equipment can go very low and still be very accurate with the details, this track really gets 10 times better if the equipment playing it is top notch!
I would always skip this song while listening to this album. But this past year my mom passed away and somehow I found a connection to her with this song.. its hard to explain. I now love this song and think about my journey through the stars to see my mom again sometime in the future...
Just when you think "No, this is my favorite track on RAM" you listen to the entire album again and have a new favorite. I don't think I can settle on just one.
Can't be more true , this is really magical experience. Just on pure music, did more than most of movies and vids can provide... and its all Random Access Memories for us ,we access to Daft Punk and randomly pick another song to love more than the others...
id argue short circuit, similar names and idea. It is also split into 2 halves almost. I agree that both songs are some of the best from their respective albums
this is sooo good, the textures, the vibes, the rhodes, so smooth. There's never gonna be two guys like these legends again, irreplaceable. it's never gonna be the same again... 😞 but Thank you just thank you.
This was the track I often skipped over when listening through this album. After a few more listens, this became the track I would repeat the most. Daft Punk has a way of letting songs grow on you, even if you don't like them that much. The same with "Contact."
Exactly the same here, always skipped Motherboard, Contact, Fragments of Time... I l listened to them more careful, and they are the one of the greatest songs actually, from this album! GJ Daft Punk!
One of the most underrated daft punk songs I've ever heard. The sheer amount of depth and complexity offered by every single note in this song is just mesmerizing. This song needs way more listens and love
@@james_-zx2be Previous song in the album (Beyond), tells us that: "perfect song is framed with silence, it speaks of places never seen", it tells us about world without time and how lives are like random access memories. Touch expresses life really well, how "painter in our mind" paints the abstraction that we believe in. Motherboard is very interesting concept, it begs the question: "what's the root of all of this? what keeps this whole system together?" Motherboard shows us the mysterious, beyond human mind comprehension, almost lovecraftian image. Wish I could hear it for the first time again
It is very Tron esque! 3 years later and some other strange human, recognized the same beat before seeing your comment. The ability to recognize art is fundamentally a human trait!
Tron is how I discovered Daft Punk, when they teased "Castor" I had to listen to their entire discography, Discovery, Tron Legacy Soundtrack and RAM are my top 3 Albums
Is it ironic that this song titled 'Motherboard', a computer term but it sounds so organic and bursting with life? Its like a soundtrack of birth of life... from its original, pure and raw state..... reminds me of how Earth came to alive billions years ago...
It's absolutely amazing that I see this comment, this is exactly how I feel, and yet, many reviews on official sites talk about a futuristic utopia. When I hear the woodwinds kick in, I see a sprout, coming out of the ground, and just morphing into every possible living thing. Everything about this song indeed makes me think of the origin of life. Like a time lapse over billions of years, and just unhindered change. I'm very glad that I'm not alone in this interpretation of this song.
The motherboard is the thing that control all the principal fonctions of a computer. So it's like... the main reason , the main key of life for robots. That is why it's so organic , because it's the roots of robots they try to represent where life begin for humans as well as where life start for robot. The origin of life for robots is motherboard... so what is our motherboard ...
Well, all the DJs are different in their own ways, so you can't just pick the best one. It's the one you enjoy the most, for me, I enjoy Dutch DJs the most. But you might enjoy Daft Punk more. So yeah...
The transition at the end of this song if you ask me, is one of the best things I have ever heard acoustically in my life. Pure metal head at heart here, but an even bigger advocate for pure music appreciation regardless of genre. That was beautiful.
Best song by Daft Punk in my opinion. From amazing sampling in Homework to complex masterpieces such as this one! Love you from here to eternity, Daft Punk. For all your contribution to music merci beaucoup
This song made me ask myself what do i really want to do in life and if i'm really accomplishing it today by doing what i have been. Love this song, love Daft Punk
I'm sitting at a balcony on a top floor. The sun is slowly rising above the horizon. I can see its reflection in the peaceful river. The city is waking up. Motherboard is playing in the background. Impressions - remarkable.
Sitting in a capsule in the middle of space, rising through the clouds viewing the world we live on as it slowly drifts away, as the sun moves over the curvature of the earth.
Nitfluad After yet another night of heavy drinking, lying in bed, under covers. It is a cold, heavy winter night and the rain just stopped. Through the tiny crack of the window the chill night air oozes in. I can only see a small portion of what goes outside, what with my window being so small. All i see in the darkness is the sky.
There are three songs after this on Random Access Memories… ‘Fragments of Time’, ‘Doin’ It Right’, and ‘Contact’. And on the Japanese release there’s one more bonus track ‘Horizon’
0:00 - 3:10 Origin of Earth 3:11 - 3:33 Origin of life 3:34 - 4:11 Evolution 4:12 - 4:35 First terrestrial species and their evolution 4:36 - 5:20 Rise and peak of human civilization 5:21 End of life.
Playing this song must make you realize what life is. That must be a great feeling to have just right after work and right before entering Home sweet Home
This is, in my opinion, their best song. Not because it's the most upbeat and easy to get into, but it represents the band so damn well, just two guys wanting to see how far they can go when it comes to electronic music.
Although I'm an atheist and bothers me people publicly talk about their imaginary friends, I concur with the general sentiment of your statement. It's really distasteful to remove the valor of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, and give it to some non-existing being that only exists in the minds of those that believe it. Cheers!
José Encarnação Taste is subjective, but even then, being the common definition of God the all good all powerful and all knowing creator, it makes much more sense to take that "thanks god" as a compliment, it means somebody consider your work good enough to be something sent to them by God himself, and that's for sure not something bad, it's not taking alway no one's value. Also, you can never say, pretending to be free of personal belief that "God doesn't exists", the same way a believer can't say that it does exists and pretend that this is not his personal belief, that's because we are taking about something that is unfalsifiable, you cannot logically derive neither that it does or doesn't exists.
3:12 sounds very post apocalyptic but just a minute later at 4:12 it feels like something sprouts out like the first sign of life allowing the cycle to start again...how can something sound so electronic yet so organic at the same time!!!
This is just a new breed of music. I can't say it's simply good music, because it isn't. First of all, it's incredibly fucking rich with complexity and nuance. It manages to be so diverse yet it flows like water.
Recuerdo perfectamente la primera vez que escuché este álbum, es una mala costumbre que tengo que cuando un grupo me gusta me trago sus discos nuevos enteros, sufriendo porque no puedo entender sus canciones en la primera oída. El disco lo fui escuchando entero sin encontrar lo que buscaba. Y si me acuerdo perfectamente del día que lo escuché por primera vez es porque recuerdo claramente la primera vez que escuché esta canción y cómo fue exactamente lo que quería oir y lo mucho que me caló desde las primera notas... Motherboard pasó a ser y siempre será una de las mejores canciones de daft punk. Por lo menos para los amantes de la pura música.
This song is probably the most relaxing thing to me. I've listened to Daft Punk for a while with his other techno-like songs, but this is probably my most favorite. Especially the sounds, the slowing down, and the water noises. Knocks the stress right away :)..
The fact that this album was given the award for best album re-instills my faith back in the music industry/fans. So much garbage out there these days. Thankfully the true artists can still be recognized.
Phoenix Scp Although people have different taste in music, I surely don't listen to Cardi B. There's a lot of good, new, modern rappers out there like Logic, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, X (rip)
Whos back here after the drumless track? Personally i like this better. The drums provide so much depth and joy. Drumless version has its own sci-fi soundtrack / magical vibe, but it still feels weird.
Daft Punk I would love to say thank you for the past 28 years of producing music and putting smiles into our faces. And all I’m asking for right now is... Thank you.
I used to listen to this song all the time while I was on my way to uni at that time. And it still feels so fresh and inspiring. I can't describe the feeling. Love you forever Daft Punk ♡
I was literally listening to them last night, and this last week. I honestly can't believe that this would happen, especially with all that they've done together. I even remember when they released "Get Lucky" on my birthday on RU-vid and me always jamming too it even last night. Truly iconic, and legendary. A duo that will always be remembered for its memorable iconic and legendary moments which in my opinion were one of the best duos ever. Thank you for everything, Daft Punk, you will truly be missed. I honestly didn't expect this to happen so early, but like they always say every great thing always has a start and then an end. Truly missed and one of the best artists in history. Glad to have been able to exprience them throughout all these years & to hear them. All the best to the future for the both of them. 😭🤧👏💫👑🔝🙏👑💙🐐🌍♾
@@abhitruechamp Yep😭🤧 and like I said every great thing always has a start and then an end. Honestly going to miss them so much. Glad to have been able to experience them throughout all these years & to hear them. So many feels, and nostalgia when hearing there songs especially there Get Lucky song which just gives me 2013 vibes, truly iconic and legendary they were. A duo that will always be remembered for its memorable iconic and legendary moments which in my opinion were the best duo ever in music history & still are. Thank you, Daft Punk for everything. 1993-2021. All the best. 😭🤧👊🎶🎵💙👑🐐🌍♾
I'm so glad there is that much people out there loving it the way I do...this song is a whole thing, kind of a "techno-mystical" masterpiece to me. It's hard to explain why you like it so much. Most of the people can't love it, actually...poor people. The symbolism around it appears to me in a singular way. Despite there is no lyrics it says so much things, i would even say everything, in a matter of fact! The title of the album joins the title of the song in a esthetic and symbolical continuity. Computing motherboard seem to makes reference to the mother's content , mother beeing the etymological origin of the term "matrix" ("matricis-mater")... In french mother is "mère" wich is an homonym of "mer" that means "sea"...it strikes me everytime when I here that liquid sound in the end, like on a shore of that immensity sea sailing in our "random acces memories", on the great virtual bound that contains, and bound us all. And, like the daft punks, I'm french too, so please forgive my bad English my Daft Punk-loving friends!! Peace!!
Brother, you described it so well. This comment opens my eyes about the power of generally music and the complex meanings a language can have if we observe enough. Thank you so much for your comment.
This track is probably my favourite of the album. From an audiophile standpoint it is basically a buffet of the utter highest sound quality. Every aspect and track is crafted to perfection, from the beautiful electric piano melody to the basically track-long drum solo. Interestingly enough, it feels like an evolution of Daft Punk's Sea Of Simulation bonus track from TRON: Legacy!
i remembered the ending of this song suddenly one night and kept repeating it in my mind, nearly brought to tears. when I finally tried to search for it and heard the first few opening notes it hit me like a truck. oh my god. probably one of my most favorite songs ever. deeply nostalgic since i grew up on this band. this song feels like it’s been within me my entire life even though this album came out in 2013, it feels like a reason to keep going (though luckily it’s not like I completely need those right now, I hope)
Year 2014, it is late and you are tired from school or work, you go through a park and sit on a bench between two huge trees. You turn on your iPod touch, put on your headphones, and play this song. You feel the wind, your tension decreases and while the song is playing you realize that your life is not so bad, you just need a break.
I usually don't like Daft Punk. Like, at all. I acknowledge their talent, but this is the opposite of the music style I enjoy. But my friend is a huuuuge fan, and so I often hear them when she drives the car. However, when talking about them, she usually mentions Random Access Memories as the worst thing they created, and the product of the marriage between Joseph Mengele and Satan. So I wondered if by reverse logic, I would actually like this album. And guess what... I do. A lot :D
Discovery is A Golden memories good old one more time, voyager etc, But this one is ethereal, otherworldly feel and organic.... As an avid daft punk listener RAM is their masterpiece followed by Discovery, Tron Legacy Ost and their first album (in my humble opinion)
This was always one of my favorite off the album and I still love it a decade later.. it's exquisite, sublime. I love how they take the concept of technology and give I emotion, like with "Motherboard" and many others
This song kinda.. makes me see in the future. Not just few years from now, but more like a millenia or two, when our current culture, our current standards of 'normal' will be long forgotten.
This is literally one of the best songs ever written ! and also so underated, this is a proof that some times the best music and songs aren't the ones everyone is listeing to...
A moment of silence for the ones that haven't discovered this song. And another one for the ones that disliked the album because of it's "lack of edm, techno songs".
I always listen to this while drawing, it helps me focus, and is one (of many) of my comfort songs! Definitely recommend this song if you have just started listening to Daft Punk!
Qué Mira Sapo lol I don’t remember why I said this. I think it was because RAM had a bonus track in Japan and I was joking about that. Almost 6 years and you found this comment. That’s even funnier.
Don't worry; I was just wrong. The name "James" tied with that picture is just a coincidence because I know someone else who uses that combo. Apologies for the confusion.
Random access memories is one of the most greatest albums ive come accross, the whole album has brought me great peace and i an saddened that this was their last album but at the same time, what a golden album to leave off on. Thank you daft punk for this wonderful gift of music you have bestowed upon us, truly thank you, i know daft punk themselves wont ever see this comment but your music helped me through highschool. Your gift of music will forever be shared with me.
This track won’t ever cease to be magical, it’s like taking a cosmic trip right inside your head and feeling so grand and beyond anything that you’ve experienced before, the feeling is superb. And the album as a whole is magnificent and grandiose and yet so humble and simple in a way. It’s just their raw talent that shines through it. I still can’t get over the fact that they stopped this part of their journey. What they did together was so golden, it felt like there was still so much to hear from them as daft punk and I was so eager to love it already. I’m so sad and nostalgic right now. They were/are the real deal. So proud to be french just because of them! I also was born right next to where they met in Paris so idk, I kinda feel close to them a bit more due to that.
@@aarol01 plane rides sound trivial but they're actually quite key events in our lives. We're literally uprooting ourselves from our own bases to go far away from home. There isn't much to do on a plane especially on long flights. Many of us get pensive on a flight, start thinking deeply about things here and there. Couple that with the right music... And we have pretty great experiences that simply can't be replicated elsewhere 👍
Baw Jaws Not literal imagery. I mean that if you closed your eyes you could easily picture something from just the music. For me, I picture exploring and underwater world and this music allows me to imagine it so easily.
3 ans que j'écoute cet album. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Je pense que c'est le meilleur album de tous les temps et je suis heureux d'être le contemporain de tels artistes.
Everyone feels in space while listening to this album but I feel like I'm on the beach, the beach of my childhood. This album came out when I was 10, every year my family and I went to the same place on holidays and this album was the album of the holidays. For us it meant summer. We used to have a picnic on the beach during the sunset when the beach was deserted, we brought a speaker and played this album. Now everytime I listen to it I feel the sand cooling on my feet, the salt on my lips, the wind on my face and the taste of melon. Moreover, this song is my mom's favorite, she told us she heard the waves in it. Now I'm 18, I won't to go to this place anymore, Daft Punk has split up and they were the band of my childhood (I watched Interstella 5555 a thousand times as a kid), but when I listen to this album, I'm there. I'm here, at home with the people I love, on La Côte Sauvage... And I hear the waves
