The sound mixer on this deserves an award. Live concerts are made or broken with a sound tech team. Everyone on stage and behind made this the experience we all enjoy.
Totally agree. Sound team makes or breaks a good concert and this is top notch. What an experience it must have been to be there immersed in that. Just wow, wow, wow.....infinity wow...
Devin mixed and mastered the release
I'm a single father of 2 children. 24/7 responsibilities.. Music is my medicine... ty for your videos. (emotions = life)
Bastard is without my favourite Devin track. Welcome to the world of Devin Townsend. Hes changed my world.
He does that for everyone who hears him. He's my personal God.
Devin is like the accumulation of all your rock music tastes into one super talented package
Mine 2
So glad that it's not just me that is moved to tears by the wonder and beauty of these masterpieces.
Lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago. The last half of The Death of Music gets me every time. Devins music is everything to me
So sorry for your loss my friend. Cancer has taken 6 members of my family. We need to find light wherever we can - because it's so precious. Devy has been like the sun for me. and I'm glad that you are as moved by his music Better Days
Thoughts are with you.
She is in a better place now, and you will meet again, trust me! God bless! And Devin, by way, is God's way to spread joy and comfort to those in need,
Very sorry for your loss, cjb.
cjb scotsman So sorry to hear that. Keep your head up and let the music help soothe your soul. God bless!
I've seen many reactions to Devin and this is by far the best. You two are lovely, i love how your wife looks at you so lovingly, all the while listening to these incredible pieces of music ❤️
The Death of Music is just feelings made music. Dev was very, very low in that season because he started to understand the music industry from the inside, and it sucks, he was 20 years old genious but they tried to cut his wings to do just the same music that other bands were doing at the moment. I think that this song is just a call to the music inside of him, praying to it that never let him, that never die on him. Absolutely brilliant. I always cry with this song, it awakes me a lot of feelings. Congratulations couple, you're so nice. I love you guys. Annoyances for my english.
La acabo de escuchar por primera vez y me llené de lágrimas sin entender la letra porque necesito leerla primero...pero igual, por momentos tuve que cerrar los ojos porque las emociones eran tan fuertes, y se me erizaron los pelitos en todo el cuerpo. Eso fue pura energía musical ya que no supe qué decía la letra...
Way back in 2002 I was studying film and wanting to be a director. I had a short film I was doing and I thought that Devin's 'The Death of Music' would be perfect for it. I wrote (via snail mail) to Devin and Tracey and asked for permission to use the track
They were so nice and encouraging and granted me permission to use the song, provided I wasn't making money off it. It ended up being the best thing about the whole film.
I had a similar experience when i was at collage, i wrote a piece of music for an assignment and after working on it for many hours (constantly rerecording the same part over and over) i realised that the most complex part, probably one of the bet things i have ever written/played/recorded, was actually very much inspired by the calm arpeggiated section from 'by your command' (like same chords, rhythm and tempo, just with a fluctuating time signature). So I shot a message to DTP explaining the situation and they got back to me very quickly saying so long as i wasn't making money from it it could be a note for note perfect rip off, but seen as it was just heavily inspired original work, they didn't need to check it and wished me all the best with the studies. My other half also had lengthy facebook conversations with most of the band following us going to one of there shows, just because she was asking them individually if it was ok to post video footage and pictures. There all very nice people threw and threw.
I don't think I've seen a TH-cam video as real as this one. Devin Townsend is awesome, but, it was the two of you who blew me away watching this... I hope you two are healthy and safe and will stay safe and have a happy new year. Thank you for this video.
Devy never fails. Emotional, start to end .Beautiful words, Kel. I love TH-cam for the community. I think the reason that you guys have had a lot of success early, is you're genuine. I'm disabled, and home most of the time. When I get your notifications - it's a better day
This trio of songs always sends chills up my spine. The pure emotion that pours out of this music, is so potent. A lot of us fans of Devy, are so because of his passion for what he creates. I know you were feeling the music and not so worried on the visual, but towards the end of The Death of Music, Devy gets chills and you can see the goosebumps on his arms appear. That is why I love him and his work. He feels all of it as strongly as we do. Pure unadulterated genius. Thank you for checking this trio out. Ocean Machine, the album that these songs come off of, is one of the greatest albums of all the time. I can not recommend strongly enough that you get this album.
Wow Kel.So eloquently and beautifully put! Just proves you guys have so much more to give than just song reactions!
I've listened to the death of music since early 2000s and I cry every single time. Every. Single. Time. Fabulous song by a beautiful man!
It's a breath-taking piece of music.
First time I heard it, and same happened to me right now.
I'm still with goosebumps and in tears.
I only discovered Devin a year ago but what a roller coaster voyage of discovery it's been and seeing him live in December was the icing on the cake.You're right about Death Of Music.It gets to me every time.
I hadn't connected with it when I first saw Devy live (mostly a SYL fan at that stage and hadn't listened to Ocean Machine properly). He played it and I cried HARD. since then one of my all time faves.
i knew when i saw this it was going to hit hard. RIP to your fine son. i wish i could say more. thankyou
I really love this climbing from pleading to anger in Death of Music. As if he begs in the beginning and clings on it on the end. From despair to determination.
Agreed!I think it's the most moving song I've ever heard.
I love this trilogy, and I'm so glad it was put in your list.
For a long time I've been battling feelings of worthlessness and insignificance, so i want to thank you guys for your words of encouragement each vid. They always give me just a bit a hope and this one was no exception. Thank you.
#painintheask Gettysburg by Iced Earth, probably my favorite thing they've ever done.
I have struggled with the same emotions. Devy's music has been a lifeline for me. His acoustic performances are great to play, and meditate. Take an hour or so, just for me time every day. I truly hope that you can find inspiration in Devy's music like I did. And you do have worth and you are significant. Best wishes my dear
the best 25 minutes in a row you can spend on youtube ;)
This might just be the most magical reaction video ever.
Love the Lyrics"Don't die on me, don't go away, when I need you here, He sings it pleading to begin with and then by the end he is saying it forcefully and with anger.
Right eh,i sing those words out loud for myself,when things seem bad ,for me not to die on me,because i need me.
It helps, powerful music
@@clivedandridge7775 Just finding this, but I hope you are well, my friend
@@clivedandridge7775 Thank you.
First reaction I've seen to this trio of wonderfulness. You guys are so crazy in love I adore watching your reactions. Rich's knowledge of rock history
and Kelly's deep involvement makes for beautiful viewing. Keep it up you two! xx
Been wanting to request Funeral but wasn't sure you were ready for it. The story behind the song is that when Devin was around his late teens, he was asked to speak at the funeral of a friend's younger brother who was murdered during a robbery. Powerful song!
Hands down the most genuine reaction I have seen to this trio of songs. There's a reason these 3 are some of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you so much for listening to these!
you guys are awesome!! I think this is the first full reaction to the Ocean Machine "trilogy"... It's funny that Kel mentioned the lotus in the beginning because Devin uses the lotus to symbolize his newest album, Empath:
"the whole idea of the lotus and all that was an important part of the process for me . . . this idea of opening yourself up emotionally to the experience of life and pain and love and joy and sadness and anger and all these things requires a type of vulnerability, I think, that requires the ability and the desire to be open."
Everyone at the Albert hall cried to Death of music. It was insane to be there.
The Royal Albert Hall is a Victorian monument to Queen Victoria's beloved husband Prince Albert, who died young. It's an opera auditorium, and it has great accoustics. For my money, shoegaze prog metal is the best. Devin is such a master of the technology of shoegaze, he actually helped develop the programmable guitar pedalboard he uses to create this incredibly rich, layered, wall of sound.
I think that the cult of victory and cool in the world really hurts us. Loss is the real, universal human experience. Sooner or later we lose everyone and everything, and that's what people need helping to address and care about others going through, not winning and looking good. And that is one of the reasons why the traditional religions are important, and can never be erased, no matter how much some people want to erase them, because they take seriously the things which deserve to be taken more seriously than winning and looking good.
Dev wrote these in his late teens early 20s. Crazy. Also played all the instruments in the original.
Ah, yes. The father, son and holy spirit's of songs. He's a genius. Period.
Fuck an a. I had the same reaction in 1999 hearing it and it still holds perfect today.
Yeah, that song hits the soul hard. That particular live version is brutal to hear, beautiful sorrow. I haven't heard anything with such weight & intensity expressed on such a grand scale... Thank you.
We want to feel included, as if our disparate experiences have been shared by many others. Devins music found me when I needed him most, when I felt most alone, and he accidentally saved my life. He will never know it. I will never forget him. His music is more than reactions, it’s a genesis, a collision, a spiritual enhancement to our mortal lives. I am so grateful to come back to these songs again and again and pass them on when I can. I feel him in a way I can’t describe but my jaw drops and my eyes squeeze tightly shut and my inside universe undulates like a snake and I cry and I laugh and I shout and I scream and I’m probably embarrassing to my species but I know the drive to work the next day won’t be spent dwelling on what I hate but on who I love. I can’t stop watching people react to him. Addicted forever.
Devi always call me to life again when I'm lost and dead abandoned inside.
Considering how this channel started for you I can see how this song would hit hard.
The lyrics with the power of his voice is.. otherworldly. This portion of the show is heavy, and it makes me miss a lot of friends and family.
You guys feel it. What a sequence of music. It was a great privilege to share that with you, if vicariously.
Wow that was amazing. How have I never heard these guys before now lol? I have heard the name in passing before but never heard the music. That was great, Thanks
I was in the same boat a few months ago. It's been a fun ride discovering his music. Incredible catalogue and Devin does it even better in a live setting

Spiritual and metal don't usually go together, but it can happen sometimes, and these Devin songs are a great example of that. Another favorite of mine is the album Weather Systems, from the band Anathema. It may not sound as heavy and powerful as these Devin Townsend songs, but it's just so goddamn beautiful! It's my favorite "let's go running and make some catharsis" album, and I've spent as much tears of joy with it as I've spent sweat drops. To me, even though I'm an atheist, it's music that it's almost 'religious'; that can put you in a kind of trance: eyes closed, arms in the air, having the overjoyful realization that it's amazing to be alive, even though life can be hard at times. The whole album is fantastic, but if you want to react to a few songs, my favorites are those mentioned above. Studio versions are better, IMO.
Awesome suggestions! Anathema is really special.
You have to follow the directions for requests in the description box though.
@@ItsLoriK Thanks Lori, I didn't know about that! I've edited the original message.
@@cristianfcao No problem! If I hadn't previously requested so much I'd have just typed it up for you. I have one Anathema album I bought, opened, but still haven't played because just hearing it on TH-cam made me bawl my eyes out almost the entire album. So, if Kel reacts to any of your recommendations & cries I'm going to be screwed!
Thank you for your words Kel...i feel you so well. Devin's music is a blessing to this planet
universal flame of devin live royal albert hall.
Unbelievable, positive and uplifting. Grace from RC is just awesome as well - Cheers
Honestly think Kel is my celeb crush. Amazing person, really like how deeply she enjoys music in general, there is pure emotion throughout and she has very versatile taste.
Before I end it, I'd like to say Rich is a genuine, caring person that has great commentary and personality. No wonder your affection is this deep and visible in these videos. It's adorable seeing you together. Love your enthusiastic commentary Rich.
Beautiful set of songs, and a beautiful reaction. Death of Music is probably my favorite song from Devy. It's so powerful and can touch people in so many different ways. I literally get something different from it nearly every time I hear it.
I must have watched this video god knows how many times now and love your guys’ honest reactions, how you get lost in the music and really experience it. Devin has been a lot of my life’s soundtrack through the ups and the downs and his music really helps me feel things and express those feelings so I know what you were talking about at the end.
It's okay to grieve.
When I first experienced this Devin Townsend video I was in the break room at work wearing my earbuds. As soon as Devin belted out the lyrics a tear formed in my eye. I looked around to make sure that nobody was watching, then I said to myself "f 'em" this kicks ass.
My fav Artist You guys can play all his songs and I would be in heaven
I just saw your program for the first time tonight and am hooked. I’m a 62 year old woman who has had a passion for early prog rock (especially 70’s Genesis) for decades who, through my son, now has a passion for prog metal, especially Devin Townsend. His work deeply touches me in ways I thought I’d never find again. Thank you for sharing this trilogy.
p.s. please play some early Genesis. Supper’s Ready maybe?
p.s.s. Thanks Kel for sharing about being a rock with only a spark. To feel that identification made my day.
I know you have a long list of songs to listen to, I just hope that Strapping Young Lad is somewhere on the list.🤘
can't wait for Keli to see "Skullet" Devin!
The version of 'Detox' live at The Retinal Circus IS SO GOOD. Especially with that hilarious intro.
Studio version of Oh My Fucking God
Kingdom: EMG performance. They will be completely floored!
This whole concert is Perfection 💯🔥🤘.... I only found DT 3 years ago. I can't imagine how I never heard of him before then. But he has been and will continue to be my Lord and Savior ❣️💯.... I cry too every time Kel😘
That was awesome...in the true sense of the word!
You just made my day. Thanks
Hi, Rich I think you will rock with that type of beard if you choose to grow. And Kel, you got me all tear up too. I love The Death of Music, i remember when i first heard it sadness overcame me, the tune of it is so haunting and yet soothing for me. When you mentioned about No mud no lotus; it brings me back to Thay Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching. We do own our dark sides and I hope it doesn't turn me into a monster. Anyway, you guys have a good day and thanks for what you did. I really enjoy it.
What a positive, loving video! I wish everyone was so positive and full of gratitude and love! Thank you for reacting to one of my newest favorite songs, and you've earned yourself a new subscriber!
This was easily one of Devin's best songs ever. The story is he was good friends with a young girl whose brother died when he was 16, and Devin was asked to speak at his funeral. He said that it was hard trying to contemplate and understand death at such a young age. If I may offer my viewpoint, put yourself as the person in this song - then imagine you're someone who's lost their closest sibling, a twin perhaps, and having to come to terms with the loss of a huge part of they who made up your identity. Imagine not being able to handle it so well, and the experience of going to the funeral, the anger and depression afterward as you grieve, and then finally find your way out of that pain. The loss and funeral are "Funeral", the anger and depression afterward would be "Bastard", and the path out of it is "Death of Music."
Again, just my viewpoint.
Hello! You 2 should listen to Devin Townsend “Pixilate” live
my favorite!
yep
I love you 2 beautifully real people
so i got to see Devin a couple years ago in a small place.. I was right up front.. like 2 ft from him. I was just like that Mohawk guy... I was in a coma toast bliss. My eyes were making tears. It was amazing. cant wait for him to return to Houston.
React to Terminal by Devin Townsend, such an underrated song
Ki is an amazing album
#SKADOOSH Kelly Devin Townsend has had that effect on me many times. I agree with others that you should listen to DEEP PEACE live from By a Thread. I'd also recommend the first three songs from his album Synchestra: Let it Roll, Hypergeek, and (most importantly) TRIUMPH. The first two very short songs are kind of a prelude to Triumph, with everything from bluegrass to blast beats and a truly epic wall of sound. These three songs together are beautiful and it ends with a lovely solo by Steve Vai. I've never seen any reaction channel react to Triumph, but I think you would both enjoy it a lot. You will enjoy Deep Peace too, be sure to crank up those headphones...it's a really moving song but it starts very quietly and his voice is really incredible.
Yes please.
Remember to follow the request directions in the description box!
I love that whole combo.
I get the mud and lotus analogy, but the one I use is "Iron only becomes Steel when it's been put through the fire".
I love you two! Cheers!
Devin Townsend is THE most emotional and amazing artist currently working on this rock called Earth/Terra. No one can bring out emotion in music the way he can. No one. And you can have that in writing!!!!
That's so true!
Way back in 2002 I was a film student and I wrote a letter to Devin and his wife Tracy to ask permission to use 'The Death Of Music' in my student film. They were incredibly generous and said yes, provided I didn't release it commercially.
The film itself was kind of crap but the music was amazing.
My dear Kel - I'm an old dude, and my eyes were teary just about the same time that it hit a nerve for you as well. I had to take my glasses off. Devy is one of the most emotional songwriter/performer. We will all be together again with our loved ones when it's our time. I truly believe, but raw emotion for the memories are why they loved us in the 1st place. Thank you for sharing this song with me very emotional but excellent
#SKADOOSH #StrappingYoungLad Almost Again. Suffolk, England. Thank you both so much for these, easily the most personal, interesting and satisfying reaction videos I've seen. Your love for each other jumps through the screen and is a joy. I'm so sorry for your loss and feel privileged to be a part of this healing music process with you. Much love from the UK x
... what the f just happened? I feel like I was musically mugged with Thor's hammer.
What an indescribable primal experience that was. I have never heard anything like that in my life. That was from another plane altogether.
The ultimate irony here is I am hearing "The Death of Music" and to me it is like music coming to life again in a brand new way in a brand new day. Like everyone here, I have despaired at the obscene abomination mainstream "pop" and "rap" "music" have become. Written, performed and marketed by soulless computers and algorithms. No life. No feeling. Just money.
I weep for the poor souls that believe that is all music is and have no idea of the true musical landscapes that exist beyond the drab programmed existence of their little sandbox. It's all they know. How tragically sad is that?
However, as we heard in "Jurassic Park" - "Life finds a way.". Music lives, it has just gone underground and evolved. I pray that everyone gets a chance to be fortunate and blessed as I have been to be led to this fountain of musical life and beauty. It started with Muse, Tool & Nightwish then moved on from there to other transcendental acts like Dream Theater, Ayreon, Porcupine Tree and now Devin. I now eagerly anticipate more revelatory music and musicians yet undiscovered on this journey.
Thank you Kel and Rich and for all the amazing reactors out there who keep the flame alive and sharing your stories and journey with us. Know that someone vastly deeply appreciates it all *so* much more than you can ever know. Hugs. ))
When I came home to my wife for our 2nd wedding anniversery, she mentioned in a sidenote, that she had never seen me without a beard. In the night of our anniversery, I snuck out of bed in the middle of the night. And shaved. In the morning, waking up, she turned to me. Looked at me in disbelief. Turned her head away, shaking her head.
What can I say? I'll never shave again. Haha!
Update: (having watched this video to the end, by now) a friend once told me: "cry as much as you need to." Not only a year after above mentioned anniverery, my love got killed in a car accident. 1 1/2 year later, driving home from work, "Thank you" by Led Zeppelin was playing on the radio. Love that song! I was happily singing along. Until: "happiness, no more be sad." I had to stop my car on the side of the road. Instantly. I had lost all of my vision in about 2 seconds, 'cause of the tears. That's, what it is. Just, pls:
don't be ashamed to cry.
Greetings from the far north of Germany.
you two are the FIRST and ONLY reaction people who I actually enjoy watching and more to the point, believe the reactions.
you guys, especially you Kel, since you get more out of the music with your eyes closed, owe it to yourself to take 75 minutes with NO interruptions and just listen to Ocean Machine with a good set of headphones.
As for your comment during "Bastard" Rich, Devin once said in an interview that to him, music is the exhaust of life.
Always loved that quote.
i love how happy you guys seem its lovely to see, ive loved devins music for a really really long time you wont be let down from any of his music its all top notch amazing and makes me feel so awesome listening to any of his albums he made =) peace
You are a lovely couple listening a beautiful songs! Thanks! Be happy!
I love Devin Project, but for me, The Death of Music (This song has it all: lyric, guitar, alternative voice, heavy voice, emotion, everything!)
Amazing and true reaction, I can sense your emotion and passion here! Devin band is by far one of the best and most epic, thank you both for this post!!!
True pure reaction...
Like Deadhead from Albert Hall Bastard is also so badass. I've been going through Devin to find more because of you. Revolator rocks, too. I'm going to keep listening through his stuff to find more favs. Also, Kel made me cry again! I could fight off the words but not when she couldn't. Morrissey & The Cure have the same effect on me. I'm going to shower with Pantera now to help knock some of the feels out of me!
Devin really went for Kels on that last part, sorry for your loss 😕
Funeral is my favorite Devin song of all time. To me it so deep and takes me to places in my head that I can't describe. It will probably be one of songs played at my funeral someday.
Mine as well. It's just simply my favorite song of all time, period.
Such an awesome performance on The Death Of Music! Made me a fan again after a bit of a break. The guy sang like he was back in his 20's! The funny thing is, I wasn't the biggest fan of these songs on the album originally. Somehow made me appreciate a new side of Dev all over again.
Hey Rich, just going back & Kel looks so hot here, & so cool to see such a natural reaction, love it
Love you guys!!
Lotus flower - see the new Devin Townsend album artwork for 'Empath' - listen to "Why?"
Now we need some strapping young lad Devin
COMING SOOOOOOOON
the holy trinity, this song is
11:03 I hit subscribe, scrolled up just as she leaned in and said: "Thank you".
You startled me.
Oh,by the way,maybe a complete OCEAN MACHINE review?
#Skadoosh Ocean Machine is a whole album of #Skadoosh plus the new one Empath - wow
I'm enyoy it with your reactions, are so emocional
Dev has a way of bringing out so much emotion. He is so amazing. I really like the vibe you two have. Very genuine and kind people. Thanks for doing this. I recommend DTP - Deep Peace live at Plovdiv.
Don't die on me! RIP Jared. Fellow rocker!
Kel, you really feel the music so deep! Thats a gift!
OMG!!!! YES!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh my dawg, you are so cute together. I like your interactions ^^
The Heavy Devy Tripple ;) .I asked for this Rollercoaster of Emotions for a long time .... Thanx for playing/reacting to it....now its time for the new CD EMPATH and the last Song of it....
LMAO, I love seeing people's first reaction to Dev. Blow your minds wide open!
Ok so I've had to order the RAH bluray after this.
A cigarette for Kel after this ? Naaah. A whole pack might do :))
No Mud, No Lotus Kel
Ooh. A long one. Video, that is. 😁 just noticed you have 10k subscibers. Know you aint doing it for that, but congratulations all the same. 👍
There's a story that Devin hid under the desk when he played back the final mix of The Death Of Music. If you study the lyrics you realise even more what a lonely & emotional track it is, it's incredible. Was lucky to be there for this gig, on the front row, still have amazing memories of this set of tracks.
Specifically, check out how the lyrics subtly change from chorus to chorus, it's clever and a bit dark in a way.
Love this channel! Hope you can get around to some prog/ prog/metal soon 😁
"The Death Of Music". Me. Tears. Again. And again.
I understand what Kel says at the end, I was the same, his music does the same to me now that I've allowed myself to feel.
Love Bastard. I first encountered it not long after my wife and I came away from religion. A couple of pieces from it were used as the soundtrack in this video (Through these godless eyes),
th-cam.com/video/Txp8LhL56rU/w-d-xo.html
We immediately fell in love with the song once we tracked it down. Every time we hear it played, it reminds us of a trip to Melbourne where we played it over and over.
You opened a box of tricks with Band Maid, and now you open the Devin Townsend box! Wow.. This gig is a special thing in itself, but between his solo work, the Devin Townsend Project (this outfit) and his project before this one, Strapping Young Lad (and they were a heavy outfit.. be warned if you dip into them).. there's a plethora of emotion in his work. Glad you found him too!!
Having been at the concert, this trilogy was just MIND-BLOWING!
You guys are so positive.. it's good to see.. take care
So this is the first of your videos i have seen. I have been a fan of reactions for quite some time now, seeing people hearing music that i love for the first time is fantastic, and I'm subscriber to many of the bigger names in the reaction field. my favourite for a while has been halflifesistah because there reactions are so natural and just a joy to watch. This one video leaves them all behind, just such a reaction. You too are perfect for each other that much is clear, and whist i don't know what you two have been threw/going threw, you clearly have a bond that can outlast anything.
So onto the recommendations. Now i haven't yet looked at what you have watched already or already know so if i suggest something you have heard, i hope you enjoyed it.
#SKADOOSH Dir En Grey - Vinshuka. Whatever you do and whatever anyone recommends do not watch any other Dir En Grey video prior to this, they rely very heavily on shock value in there videos (excellently paired to the meaning of the songs) and many people who recomend Dir En Grey to reaction channels pick these more shocking ones, often resulting in the poor people been very put off from a band that is actually brilliant.
Some recommendations for the 'Other' Playlist Kel mentioned, Poets of the fall, Type O Negative (there more popular songs( Pete Steeles voice doest it for everyone)) and Deftones. They are very groovy, atmospheric beautiful bands perfect for, off camera time.
and requests just cos i like to share music i love, Steve Vai, pretty much any song, but Tender Surrender, Dark Matter, Bad Horsie or Kill the Guy With the Ball would be my top suggestions. And Tool. Just any Tool. Or all of it, its all good.
Look forward to seeing more :) (sorry for the loooong ass post)
This was the second part of the gig, which was by request by fans XXX
you guys are cool. wish you a continued happy life
The death of the music such a powerful song. Genius!
