Did he... link the wrong URL at the end of the post? I thought for sure it was going to be some sort of heartfelt speech, or motivational message, or something.

Did he... link the wrong URL at the end of the post? I thought for sure it was going to be some sort of heartfelt speech, or motivational message, or something. But it's an instrumental DJ set which seems totally out of left field
- dgfitz 2y ago> P.S. If you are chasing something you think you want or need, or are doubting whether you are enough, take a minute and give this a listen. It had a big impact on me at a pivotal time. He shared something that helped him at a pivotal time. Your expectations are your own. :)
- bihla 2y agoHa I guess that's fair. Were you expecting a DJ set?
- dgfitz 2y agoI did have a guess that it was musical. I did not guess it was of the genre haha.
- SapporoChris 2y agoThe right music at the right time can be transformative.
- bb88 2y agoI remember listening to the theme song for "The Social Network" often when I was frustrated at work about 12 years ago in a different job in a different state in a different life. Scala & Kolacny Brothers -- Creep It's a haunting choral cover of the Radiohead song.
- satvikpendem 2y agoThe Social Network soundtrack is essentially mandatory to listen to when coding, I've heard it thousands of times by now.
- steveridout 2y agoSame, along with the Tron soundtrack from Daft Punk.
- marnett 2y agoGlad to know there are other folks that found The Social Network soundtrack as impactful. I have listened to Hand Cover Bruise first through university and hundreds of times since, often to calm my nerves before some of the biggest milestones of my life.
- bb88 2y agoIt not only calmed my nerves but also made me even more determined. I realized money can't buy happiness, but it can move you away from unhappiness.
- gordon_freeman 2y agoLike listening to “Lose Yourself” before every major interview. :)
- Obscurity4340 2y agoI wonder if this is that blasted song a college roommate used to play on infinite repeat back in the day :/
- MrDresden 2y agoFor me that was hearing "Stellardrone - Breath in the light" a decade ago during a very stressful work period. Now it is my go to, in stressful times, when I need to focus and gather my thoughts.
- masto 2y agoI was working at a dead-end IT job that was eating away at me because the company was a terrible fit, and I couldn't help but wonder if I could put my skills to better use than clearing paper jams and running mail merge reports. But the easy path was to just keep doing the same thing every day. One day on the way in I was listening to Jonathan Coulton's "A Talk With George" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXk5dXYw728 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXk5dXYw728) and it kicked me in the face with: Don't live another day unless you make it count There's someone else that you're supposed to be There's something deep inside of you that still wants out And shame on you if you don't set it free And that was the day I quit. That being said, I had the same reaction to the link at the bottom of that post; I recognize anything can be transformative to the right person at the right time, but I struggled to identify the message in an instrumental DJ set.
- indrora 2y agoI was fully expecting [1] but then I just listened for a while and honestly, I get it. I can't explain, but yeah. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGRhd_iWuE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxGRhd_iWuE
- ackbar03 2y agoHe only uses that one when he's getting short squeezed
- Over2Chars 2y agoI had the same idea. Maybe it's a subtle message? Everyday, at the same time, in the same place, play that instrumental DJ set and with a blank document write down whatever comes to you. Let me know what you find.
- netsharc 2y agoAnd the highlighted comment on that video (because it's got a lot of upvotes) is "Who's here because of Hindenburg?"... I suppose all the research work, that comment, and the 750+ thumbs-ups, and my cynical meta-comment all brought value to the world. But I'm only sure of one of those things.
- Jagerbizzle 2y agoI was pretty amazed to see him link this particular Lee Burridge set from Bali. I’ve watched/listened to it many times over and it never fails to put me in a happier state of mind.
- Cyph0n 2y agoI actually skimmed through looking for when the inspirational talk starts.
- NelsonMinar 2y agothe psychedelics are implied
- harry8 2y agoBut if you're into it, Ben Boehmer in Cappadocia, The Blaze atop the Aguile Du Midi in the French Alps are a couple of the many gems in that same series of Cercle sets.
- yard2010 2y agoCercle is a gift to the world. For anyone that didn't receive the gift yet - they're organizing great DJ sets in special locations. Multiple times I've put something to listen to, and found myself watching the whole show.
- globular-toast 2y agoIt might just be the music... but there is also a Q&A at the end of the video.
- elbear 2y agoIt's funny, because your comment made me go back and click the link. If it was some motivational speech, I wasn't interested (that's why I didn't click initially). But I actually listen to instrumental DJ sets and Cercle is one of my favorite YouTube channels. So thanks! :)
- elbear 2y agoOk, I listened to half of the set and it's not my style. This is what I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_LcVqqHSY8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_LcVqqHSY8
