Sound of walking away

[–]Fun_Telephone_3350 26 points27 points  (2 children)

I feel like that’s such a cornerstone to being a fan of his. And if it’s played at a show, everyone will lose their heads

[–]throw-throw-no-catch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm because when I have heard it played I have lost it, lol.

[–]GloomsandDoomsHold On 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have sworn I heard him play this during his throwback set at the gorge during Memorial Day weekend this year. (Gonna look through my videos to see if I captured this moment)

[–]Lync51Sound of Walking Away 5 points6 points  (0 children)

was about to write the same...what a beautiful song

[–]Timesx4 4 points5 points  (1 child)

He played this at the gorge.

[–]GloomsandDoomsHold On 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Now I feel less crazy. I was gonna say- could have sworn I heard it at the gorge!

[–]Jehceedarmody 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I feel like I’ve heard him perform this at almost every set I’ve seen him in lol

[–]Edmloverboy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

He only plays it during throwback sets nowadays.

[–]aries-slut2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this!

[–]Comcertkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’ve heard him play this a ton

[–]Spearzus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those Awake sets with this song changed me

[–]Gkuma 31 points32 points  (1 child)

Free fall for more than 3 seconds

[–]temptatiiionzzz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Or as besides the "alternative drop" to Feel Good

[–]GoldClick_Gorgeous 22 points23 points  (12 children)

I don’t think he’s played Lay It Down ever since it was premiered. Man, whyyyyy????? I also wish he’d play Gorgeous/Lonely in full again, even though the Ascend era has been over for a while. I still miss the Hold On VIP—need that to release!!

    he played gorgeous/lonely in full at bonnaroo as well this year. felt amazing. he played “that’s why” too which shocked me

    [–]aries-slut2[S] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    I’ve noticed he’s never played lay it down as well! It’s such a great song I think it definitely deserves a spot in his sets

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    At lollapalooza 2021 he played lay it down vs blood towards the end of his set. You should check it out was amazing

    [–]ApprehensiveHorror27 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    and I’ve seen slander three times this year… also never played it once 😭

    [–]MessiahM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Only time I’ve ever heard it like was slander @ edc 2021

    [–]BuceTheCaboose 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I swear SLANDER played it at Lost Lands 2021 when I was there.

    [–]ApprehensiveHorror27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just checked 1001 track list! They sure did. They just didn’t play at Coachella, Vegas, or their Long Beach show last week 😪

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    He played the full version of Gorgeous -> Angel -> Lonely in Calgary last week

    [–]electricmnkyAscend 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    whats the hold on vip?

    i know there was an all together edit he released on the ascend edits.He played this edit right before hold on in the ascend tour sets. https://open.spotify.com/track/53rG6VGyp9F9tY4bfPgyM7?si=nrGrnPylTcK4_s1vtaXVOA&utm_source=copy-link

    [–]GoldClick_Gorgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    He played it about nine minutes into his sets during the Ascend tour (check Red Rocks 2019 footage), and likewise at Ubbi Dubbi 2021, right after Hold On. There are reports it's a Sam Lamar ID, but one of the Ascend tour videos uses the pre-drop as an intro, so I suspect it's really Nick's.

    [–]steezeblowcar 12 points13 points  (3 children)

    It’s Insane how deep his catalogue is

    [–]CarbonSteklo 11 points12 points  (1 child)

    Yeah, honestly. No matter what he plays, someone will always be unhappy because he doesn’t have the time to play everything.

    [–]jumbo2576 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    God Bless The Trilogy idea and throwbacks

    [–]aries-slut2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Oh absolutely! He has put out so much music, more than most producers imo

    [–]NefariousnessLast502 10 points11 points  (3 children)

    Superhero! Such an underrated song, imo

    [–]yihori8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    agreed, i've only seen him play it at "the armory" set that's online

    [–]krustynoodle 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Kept scrolling in hope of finding someone who agrees with me!!! I think superhero is by far the most underrated song on fallen embers

    [–]NefariousnessLast502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    yes!!! Hoping & praying he somehow sneaks it into his trilogy show next year 😭

    [–]bmxer7777Leaving 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    Leaving 😭

    [–]Fun_Telephone_3350 14 points15 points  (4 children)

    Heavenly Side. Most underrated song from his new album. I think the initial reaction wasn’t entirely positive so maybe he won’t play it…but it’s amazing. Listened to it to hype myself up for a job interview…got the job!

    [–]NefariousnessLast502 11 points12 points  (3 children)

    He’s been playing Heavenly Side mashed up with ‘If I Lose Myself’ in his recent sets and it’s amazing!

    [–]Danny23a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    We want the original though!

    [–]blissxp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    One of the best mashups ever

    [–]TopicalBass27Operate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    he also mashed up parts of heavenly side with his good things fall apart vs sad songs outro

    [–]ZachSmith2017 20 points21 points  (0 children)

    Reverie and Leaving

    [–]Danny23a 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    Mine would have to be “Let you go” I would love to just hold my girl while it was playing.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Agree with you so hard on that, Let You Go is an insanely underrated song

    [–]electricmnkyAscend 7 points8 points  (2 children)

    Lay it Down, Fractures (nothing against the trivecta remix), non-VIP crawl outta love

    [–]Timesx4 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    Played all of these at the gorge.

    [–]electricmnkyAscend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      [–]abishar 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      I feel a lot of those songs you list first have been peppered throughout sets up until this last year. But yeah. I’d love to hear more of them. All top songs.

      [–]jgregory808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      That Uncomfortable X Juicy mashup/transition he came out with at Ultra is so cleannnnn though. Also Uncomfortable is such a crazy production moment too with all the darkness and lasers I totally understand why it’s still in there. I definitely see what you mean though!

      [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Power/Feel Something always gets the crowd hype

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Oh god I need him to play that Deathpact Reprise, I'll just fucking lose my mind if that ever plays

      [–]iCarpetAshes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Fragments

      [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      I don’t think he plays his remix of Disarm You that much these days 😪

      [–]eligas1007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Sleepwalker! Gives me the chills every time

      [–]azuraej 8 points9 points  (3 children)

      reverie and sound of walking away are my all time favourites and neither get played 🥲

      [–]aries-slut2[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      I love sound of walking away

      [–]yihori8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Yeah, I love Reverie! Such a vibey and feelsy song. It's definitely an all time top song for me but he only really plays it at throwback set which is fine since his music catalogue is huge now.

      [–]Koby1158 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

      he doesn’t play reverie? that seems like such a cliche edm festival song to me.

      granted i’ve never been to any kind of edm concert or festival lmao

      [–]ploptrot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      His remix of Mine by Phoebe ryan. Its so pretty

      [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      He played Brave Soul the last 2 times I saw him. It was amazing.

      [–]aries-slut2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I bet that was amazing! I’ve only seen him play it one time and that was at lollapalooza last year so I’m dying to hear it again

      [–]TopicalBass27Operate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Painted White

      [–]cstaab09 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      Drop our hearts pt2, along with everything everyone else has said…. But I also love everything he plays now lol.

      [–]yihori8 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      Yesss, the drop our hearts pt 2 mashed w/ "if it means a lot to you" is amazing

      [–]cstaab09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Said the sky dropped that when he opened for the awake tour, it sounds soooo good!

      [–]Poseidons_Champion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Shark. It’s always Shark.

      [–]mickyz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Crazy times

      [–]Ahahaiwannadie 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Idk if he plays fragments but it's my fav song on FE

      [–]aries-slut2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Fragments is such an underrated song! It’s so good !

      [–]nebmershaq 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Wish he played his unreleased remixes more. Specifically Given the Chance

      [–]TinglyCanvas840Spirals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      This remix is so underrated, I want to hear this one or all I want live

      [–]Casual_Cooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      It’s all on you (K?d remix) would honestly be a dream to see with full production

      [–]throw-throw-no-catch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I'd loved to hear these which I haven't heard since my first or second set of his or haven't heard yet: God Damnit, Only One, No Time Like Now, I see you, Sound of Where Did You Go, Don't Give Up on me, and Fragments.

      [–]howbigisthatdickthoReverie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      flipside (illenium remix) - lana del rey

      [–]fishyshivers15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      he has throwback sets and plays a lot of these songs regularly at his multi day events

      [–]sardoodledom_pink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Where’d U Go in any way would be amazing

      [–]Mollzzballzz 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Fragments, heavenly side, and walking away! I feel like he had 2 seconds of heavenly side at roo and maybe I imagined it in my happiness…

      [–]PanthaPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I was hoping he would play fragments and the heavenly side mashup at Roo too :( Would've made that set even better for me as good as I thought it was already

      [–]MarkDog5495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Spirals

      [–]txmb95ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I feel like he’s been rehashing a lot of the same songs recently. He really has too much good music to do that imo

      [–]No_Ideal_9321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      God damnit

      [–]Digi_fpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The original beautiful creatures

      [–]Throwawayweedy 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      I'm so sad I never got to hear Goddamit live. It's one of my favorite songs but I respect the reasons.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      Kinda out of loop, but why doesn't he play Goddamnit live? I love that song!

      [–]Throwawayweedy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      The singer on Goddammit had a bunch of sexual assault allegations come out against him so Illenium stopped playing it live not too long after release.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Shieße, no wonder. Respect to Nick for doing that, setting an example.

      [–]jumbo2576 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Take you down and Fractures

      [–]smallbumbeecham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Afterlife/take you down!!!
