deadmau5 ft. Chris James - The Veldt (Original Mix) [The Veldt EP] 

holy shit i've never heard the ep version. drums at the start are magical

one year ago the doctors said my grandpa wouldnt make it for another week, but hes made it untill today and has been living in this nursing place for a long time now and as he was holding my and my grandmother hand he finally said 'i cant do it anymore'. i know hes not gonna live to see 2 more days. i didnt cry when i was there at all but when i turned this song on i cried from beginning to end. im not trying to be an attentionwhore i just wanna let you know the power this song has, beautifull.

This is a masterpiece.

I fucking love the drums at the beginning

i wake up to this song as my alarm everyday i think it cured my depression. in the AM at least

This is the best song I have ever heard

Deadmau5 imo is one of the few mainstream artists with a really unique and original sound. Props and things.

Dont leave it, dont leave it

I was working over the holiday at a electronics's store and heard the drum beats from across the store. It'd been a shitty day, but I couldn't help but listen to the drums and wonder where they came from (and why I suddenly felt so good). And then I heard the beat and I recognized the song, and it was an enormous pick-me-up. So, thanks deadmau5! You got me through one of the worst days of the holiday season!

this always calms me down

This is not just music. This is vision, sight, smell all induced by sound. It is truly the most inspiring track to ever embrace the world, and Joel should be proud as fuck. What's more is that it more than does the story justice. If you haven't read The Veldt by Ray Bradbury, go do so now, and play this song as you start reading. Changed my life.

I respect deadmau5 for his production skills, his music he makes, how he speaks his mind and doesn't care what people think, and most of his opinions. Wearing Skrillex's phone number to the grammies was hilarious. If he did that to me, i'd get him back because it's all fun in games. He's not one of the least respected electronic artists to date either. Skrillex probably is, and that's only because lots of people don't like his music, but Skrillex is the nicest guy ever. People are just dumb.

Proud to be Canadian and living close to this amazing artist.

from a listener's point of view, this track is simply amazing. from someone who is an aspiring producer, its insane to realize how good deadmau5 is a layering and producing his tracks, every time i listen to it, i always hear something new that adds to the track. i honestly dont know why he gets so much hate sometimes, he deserves all the credit and respect

Enough bickering and fighting, let's just take a minute to thank Joel for the amazing production that is this song, and the movement he has made for the EDM community.

Listening to this at 2 - 5 a.m. and being in that nice sedated, sleepy state = Bliss

This version brings back so many memories - both good and bad - that are long, long gone. This will forever be a banger in my mind.

Them drums at the beginning. I can see it. Gets my adrenaline going. I love feeling this song 6:30

fucking beautiful!!

Impressive. Who else in today's music could take such a macabre story and turn it into something of such beauty. Deadmau5, it's pure genius.

deadmau5 is a person who cares so much about his fans he spends the most and tries his hardest to stream as much as possible, answer as many questions on twitter, fb, etc and hes different from everyone else in the edm scene when it comes to personality. he is a geeky gamer who knows exactly what hes doing when it comes to edm and he doesnt care what anyone thinks of him and hes not scared to tell somebody what he thinks of them. hes not a d-bag hes just being himself..

I could sleep to this.

This is seriously a masterpiece

this is full version, amazing track. just fucking great

a deadmau5 classic that will never get old.

He is a fucking god.

Extremely relaxing, i love it This is a master piece of the trance

I have this on a CD and listen to it on my hour drive to work at 3 a.m. going from the country to the downtown city. The lights, the no other cars, the music the city in the distance...all fits so well together. I love this song, Deadmau5 only gets better.

i feel like im floating through space... planets smiling at me and I smiling back while travelling deeper and deeper through the stars......

those drums in the beginning are just perfect :D

it's like a story but with music instead of narrators and actors. AMAZING!

The world that the children made....wow, this song has it all, great subway beats with atmospheric and up lifting tinkerings (for lack of a better fucking expression) and a beautiful rift, and the vocals (sounds like BT) are such a perfect match. The driving force of this song is the piano and base mixture, but you gotta love the synth, it gives it a childish feeling. absolutely amazing!

there is something so magical about the way joel does these long, slow build-ups that keep you wanting more as they go along. same with the original mix of strobe. totally came back to this song after years of not hearing it and it's still just as fantastic. godspeed deadmau5.

It's heartwarming to know that all you can do in response is spam unoriginal, mindless insults in response.

I cried when deadmau5 played this live. No regrets, it's a beautiful song. ♥

high Quality Producing..... so epic work from joel....

This was, is and always will be the real "The Veldt" for me

How can anyone dislike this masterpiece it's fucking perfect :D

I haven't been able to leave this song for the past couple months. Ahhh!

Listening to this angelic intro till this day. What an into

Best way to get the Ninja Mono Stealth 11 min minimum achievement on Audiosurf.

this .. this is why i love deadmau5 music ..

that break at 7min....... no word.....

This is my new favorite song by anyone, ever. I have the short story open in another tab, and I've been playing this on repeat. My mind is more open than it's ever been.

youtube needs a love react for stuff like this

My brains shutsof for approx 11 minutes and 33 secounds when listening to this. Deadmau5 is Beethoven of electronic music, there is no question about it. He will be remembered as a true musician, not a pop artist, that is the difference.

i can feel the mellow filling my body as this song goes on.

I remember reading The Veldt ( a short story) last year in my language arts class and then listening to this song. I thought it was so cool. :)

This is just music, in a pure form + static video, there is no real vision, no sight involved and no computer can "induce smell by sound" this is more than just a song though. It feels deep.

I have never heard this song with the drum intro before... where have I been??? I love this!

i realized this was about the book a while ago, my first reaction gave me the chills

This is absolute beauty, my goodness. A top notch tune, thank you Mr Zimmerman.

. And in one last blaze of glory before the turn of the seasons, the sun so true and the sky so blue shine down and project themselves on any surface that will allow their reflection...

i love deadmau5 because of his originality and he doesnt give a shit about anyones opinions except for his own and his loyal fans (like me). you can hear the complexity of his tracks in the beats. its amazing how much time he spends perfecting them and making them sound perfect. he doesnt care about out-selling other artists, all he cares about is doing his own thing the way he wants to do it and its always amazing.

amazing amazing amazing amazing. this song is an emotional escape during tough times

unreal deadmau5! best version ive heard of this seen him live 3 times many more amazing!!

DEADMAU5 at Las Vegas!!! That's pure awesomeness

Finally! been looking everywhere for this!

(6:00-7:00) Smells like U2 to me "where the streets have no name", good taste, genius! Those with a little ear will catch!

Such a great melody, love this song. It's beautiful!

OMG PERFECT. I was looking for this version everywhere.

This is a masterpiece. Great job Joel, you blew my mind once again.

So far I've listened to this song countless timeds and I'm not the least tired of it! Personal favorite. Love deadmau5 and music. And personal LIKE on the drum intro!

My baby girl was just born. This is the track I' ve been listening to all along, and it sounds so much better now that Rio is in my life. Thanks a million Deadmau5! You Sir fucking rock!

Thank you Nicholasbduckman! FINALLYY!!! I've been patiently waiting and searching for this version since its release!

Anybody else realize how awesome Deadmau5 is for playing Final Fantasy 6 and realizing that this song is his reference to that? :)

I simply cannot describe how good this song makes me feel. Really amazing

GREAT, AS ALWAYS!

and still... it's been two weeks.. and I'm back here again!

This song is so amazing

Deadmau5 is a good artist. It helps me get inspired to wirte poetry again.

I just can't get tired of this song, purely genious.

i love the drum break down in the beginning.

You've been listening since you were 11? Congratulations. You must be really proud of having a year's experience worth of listening to electronica :p

It's not even $5 on iTunes right now so it's really worth it.

The Intro is So amazing

Thank goodness there is an extended mix of this! Can't get enough of it when I heard it at work, on the radio. 3 minutes is far too short IMO.

idk about you, but I've MISSED this kind of Deadmau5

This song is amazing

Well technically the vocalist put his own emotions in. Deadmau5 just made the beats. However, he did notice how much Chris James (the vocalist) resembled the short story in so many ways.

SIMPLY GREAT!!!....Deadmau5, you are a GENIUS....good luck!! I trust in you...

Simply GENIUS!!!!

so beautiful

about time i was looking for this song since a while back ago.

I've been listening to Electronic music since I was 10.........When I say this stuff rocks, it really need not. It just means that I enjoy it. And looking at the like/dislike bar, I think many people agree with me on it. have a whatever day.

I wish more people like you existed.

i wake up to this every day

This is the best version.

This is the superior version of veldt. (Also best song to listen to while high)

I was reading all of your guys comments while listening to the song. It was pretty epic, not going to lie :)

just brilliant !!!!

This version is so awesome.

Not going to get upset about a period comment from someone named "tehxfiles" but to put it shortly I had a moment of rage because I really enjoy the intro and the conversation got resolved.

Simply magic!

that was the best response ive ever seen in my life >.< cudos to you, i have high respect for you

Incredible.

Perfect timing bro

Yes, I did hear the song as I read the story, and the song seemed to blend in!

This is definitely more than a just a song.
