Best PL song of all time

@JOSECOPERO1111

the first time I discovered this song I was so hyped, I really loved it. It was like 2015 or so. To be honest, i've been probably without listening Pretty Lights music for a couple years. Now i've been listening again for the past few weeks. Great tunes. It never fades through the pass of time. Where are you pretty lights? it's been a long while since the last time I heard about you. you also totally disappeared from social media, your IG account was class. Outstanding pictures. Hope everything goes well. Your music is truly inspirational.

Trey I have been working today at

@CatatonicSlug

He quit in 2017, which he announced at the Colorado live show, Day 2. So sad, but better than selling out. End of an Era, distinctly marking the next generation of music and fresh youth in the EDM scene. He always made a point at every show to give gratitude to how blessed he was to share God's blessings and thanked every one of the band members by name during the encore. His live sets are the best to rewatch.

Maybe you noticed by now but he did a comeback tour in fall of 2023. We are all hoping there’s a new album release date soon 🎉

@Yoshiofgirth

My favorite song of all time. Can't help but smile while listening to it. 2013 Fall Tour he travels with a live band. If he comes around in your area, check him out- imagine this song with live horns, drums, keyboard, bass... I've seen it at Red Rocks and it'll change your life.

@jordanrattanavong2655

The horns and this song were my favorite parts during that 2013 tour

@ManMilff

I love reading this in 2022. Having been seen the PLM Party. With live instrumentals, and at Red Rocks, shortly after the date of this.
