Gonzalez and Fromageau parted ways shortly after touring their second album Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. Gonzalez records primarily on his own, with other artists as guest musicians. The band is signed to Mute Records and found international success in 2011 with the single "Midnight City". Their most recent album Fantasy was released on 17 March 2023.
Anthony Gerard Gonzalez (born March 13, 1980) grew up in Antibes, France together with his brother Yann. His family had a great interest in football and Gonzalez had trials with AS Cannes, while his maternal grandfather is the French international Laurent Robuschi. At the age of 14 he got injured and turned to music instead after his parents bought him a guitar. Gonzalez developed his interest in music and American culture while at secondary school. Together with Fromageau he formed a post-rock outfit called My Violent Wish.
At the age of 17, Gonzalez bought a synth to record a demo, which he sent to a number of French labels. When the Paris-based Gooom Records appeared interested, he recruited Fromageau to "help me because I didn't feel like I had the shoulders to carry the project on my own". The band is named after the galaxy of the same name.
The band's musical aesthetic is characterized by extensive use of reverb effects and lyrics spoken softly over loud instruments. Gonzalez has been inspired by aspects of the American Dream and his songs have been outlined as themed around "adult-scripted teen dreams". Inspiration for the 1980s style found in much of Gonzalez’s music includes bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Pink Floyd, and Tangerine Dream. Between various electronic music properties and album artwork, M83’s style includes a mix of both contemporary pop and 1980s dream pop.
x2. Run Into Flowers
M83 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
flowers with you
Give me peace and chemicals, I want to swim into
the sound with you
Give me hope and chemicals, I want to dive into
the ocean with you
Give me everything and nothing, I want to run away
with you
The lyrics of M83's song Run Into Flowers appears to be a desperate plea for escape, possibly from reality or negative emotions. The singer is searching for a sense of peace and hope, and believes that chemicals may hold the key to achieving this. The repeated phrase "I want to run into flowers with you" can be interpreted as a desire to find beauty and positive experiences, and to do so with a partner.
The lyrics also mention wanting to "swim into the sound" and "dive into the ocean," which could symbolize a longing to immerse oneself in something greater and more powerful than the self. This could be interpreted as a desire for spiritual enlightenment or simply a desire to feel a sense of belonging.
Overall, the lyrics of Run Into Flowers suggest a desire for escape and a search for something more meaningful and positive.

That's the way!!!, all the best in your world enjoy
Your life, I'm so proud of living out
My childhood
the fantasy of being in
My Sixties with
A 20 year younger than myself Russian gorgeous
Female that is very so much a fully
Accessible mind BODY 'N' SOUL

For me, I think it was the best Synchronous event
I've received it more or was like if I'd had blinked and not received the Resonance. of her Voice I would've ❤️ I'd have been WITH HER either WAY....

Feels like I'm waiting
Like I'm watching
Watching you for love
Dreams, where I am fading
Fading
So free my mind, all the talking
Wasting all your time

Feels like I'm dreaming
Like I'm walking
Walking by your side
Keeps on repeating
Repeating
So free my mind, all the talking
Wasting all your time
I'm giving all
That I've got
If you want me
If you need me
I'm yours

I'm 63 years old and this is my favourite song of all time. I saw Rufus play at the Hordern Pavilion and it was one of the highlights of my life. I lose myself in this song and feel so alive. I need to dance. Thank you.
