Lord of mercy, this song makes me feel like I'm levitating. The layered vocals with Tillian, Jon, and Andrew are so visceral. I CANNOT wait to belt the chorus live.
I live in sac and go to a lot of small indie bands stuff. Ran into Matt at one, one of his drummer buddies was playing. Small upstairs spot. Said hi to Matt, friendly guy. His buddy was killer on drums too.
My favourite off the new album, it feels like a spiritual sequel to One in a Million. I just imagine the Bull character from that in a music video for this, I would love that!
This has got to be my favorite. I just cried man, reading and listening to these lyrics... I feel it so much. Tap out, tap out... the constant thoughts that always ping pong in your head, of just "fuck, what do I do?" I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!.... But, what will my friends and family say? Push it further along, keeping the colors vivid, keeping the lies coming... Thank god, for that little ember burning, keeping some affirmation alive, that I could be some kind of a god damn machine. That I might just be able to pull this off, and maybe, just maybe leave some kind of legacy, too..... And the outro drops, and this instrumental whaling, that makes you just wanna dance in this crazy way I don't know how to explain yet. Then simultaneously, Mess wordsmiths this wild ride, that, I walk away from thinking, holy shit, I wanna go again. Amazing job fellas, I'm praying for my mom, and I'm praying for you.
I've always been wanting to find a song from these guys after years of loving them that makes me want to get it inked... And I think this chorus just sealed the deal. Absolutely. Will update as I design it, but thank you boys for an amazing album and amazing ride. RIP Count Bassy

I'm going through the same thing. this account is my grandma's, my name is el not Joyce, but. Reading your comment hit me because I feel your pain more than imaginable. 💚 -I'm having an awfully terrible time attempting to grieve. It still hasn't even processed fully and she passed on the 22nd of November.... anyways. Just wanted to say, I am sharing similar pain and I send my love and positivity your way, even though we are strangers. But that's okay. I wish you all the best and I'm so, so incredibly sorry you're having to deal with this. Keep on staying strong, we'll make it through. , ✨💫♥️🖤
That's crazy my birthday is the 20th of November I also lost my dad to cancer years ago in 2008 so our family was never the same and neither was my mom I wish you the very best as well I hope we make it through.

I have to admit that this one isnt exactly my cup of tea right now, but I know I will be back because thats how its been for about a decade now with all of their albums except for the ones with Kurt but thats no hate to him, he is absolute legend, its just not my preference and thats okay too
I know all the fanbois are gonna be big mad at this comment, but this is the only interesting song on the album, vocally. Instrumentally the whole second half slaps, but as far as til and Jon, very lackluster record aside from this song and MAYbE two secret weapons
DGD shoulda changed their name when jonny was kicked out...cause this is good and all but it just isn't the sound i love dgd for. even tho they've had more albums with this sound now, it's just like another thing. all their new songs combined are great but they aren't worth a single "i told them i invented times new roman"
@@thelittleowl1 Most of the incidents happened in the weeks surrounding Tim's funeral, cept there are also allegations dating back further. Album was recorded april-june 2021.
This one's probably my favorite. I love the rhythm of the chorus so much.
The chorus and ending on Have a Great Life are right up there with this one for me! Whole album is ridiculous
I agree, for now
90% of dgd songs have been "my favorite" at some point
ME TOO
The layered harmonies before the chorus are a callback to One in a Million.
Pray To God For Your Mother, One In A Million
More like call back to DTBM but yeah
They've done this in quite a few songs though
@@inyrui it's the same exact progression as the one in a million part. Most of the same notes, and the same timing just slightly faster.
i thought the same thing. so familiar ♥
For a song called "Pray To God For Your Mother" I thought the song would be a little bit comedic. But the lyrics hit close to home.
This was the best Album of 2022 by a such a long shot; everything else isn't even on the same planet.
I would say it was either this one or RTYWD from Polyphia. For sure
By far the best album in 22
@@Joshua252 This album is leagues above Polyphias jerkoff album
This band is pure energy.
Lord of mercy, this song makes me feel like I'm levitating. The layered vocals with Tillian, Jon, and Andrew are so visceral. I CANNOT wait to belt the chorus live.
They never did play this song on the tour :/
Dance Gavin Dance is on a whole other level.... they're the best at what they do!
Ahh my ears are in paradise with every song in this album!! 🖤... "I'm scorpio i'm strange" yup! A scorpio here 😂
November 2nd. Right there with ya haha
@@justinkaldahl3831 November 2nd as well :)
Nov 17 here!
Nov 7th y'all!
October 27!
Jon's part at the end is incredible
This is the best song on the album. Period.
One of my favourites! Jon mess killing it with Pray to god for your mother! R.I.P Tim Feerick
How is every song on the album the best song.
Easy, they’re Dance Gavin Dance
Wondering the same thing lol
It's been like a month and I still can't get enough of this fucking album!🤘😁🤘
One of the best DGD intro!
This chorus elicits such a deep emotion within me that I can’t even tell you what it is, but wow.
Not ashamed to admit brings a tear to me eye everytime well over 100 plays later
Some of the best melodies on the album hands down.
Damn that double bass at 1:18 I hear you Matt fuckin killing it! Love Jon’s screams here too.🤘🏻
I live in sac and go to a lot of small indie bands stuff. Ran into Matt at one, one of his drummer buddies was playing. Small upstairs spot. Said hi to Matt, friendly guy. His buddy was killer on drums too.
This one made me cry, favorite of the album
Tap tap out tap out out tap tap tap out out tap out out tap tap out
Es demasiado increíble está canción para ser real 🔥❤
@CloakingSeal la verdad se lucieron con este álbum es genial
My favorite band 😍🤘🏼🔥
My favourite off the new album, it feels like a spiritual sequel to One in a Million. I just imagine the Bull character from that in a music video for this, I would love that!
Ufff que belleza de música
Espero no ser el único hispanohablante que escucha este grupo
@Javi Gómez Lozano Toca introducir a los amigos a DGD, así hice yo jeje
Diablos.
Debería haber algún grupo hispanohablante de esta banda en Facebook o en algún otro lado.
Aquí andamos
YUH!
This album is on fire
Yo mama
Is a great person
Say thank you God for another day to live please

Hey. How are you doing a year later?
Such a perfect song
john mess's post-chorus is so fucking good ive had it on repeat
God this album is a masterpiece
Voy a spamear este album toa la semanaaa
The intro riff is so chill and cool I love it.
Ah yes, my friendly existential crisis song. I love it!
God this album is filled with bangers
My mom got diagnosed with cancer a week ago... fuck this song hit home...
Hope she gets better man, my aunt had cancer and made it through so I wish the same for your mom bless🙏
Jon's scream/sing chorus makes this one of my favorites on the 2nd listen through.
yuh!
Love songs like this which breaks paradigms and the chorus is screamed by Jon eather than Tilian
I've always been wanting to find a song from these guys after years of loving them that makes me want to get it inked... And I think this chorus just sealed the deal. Absolutely. Will update as I design it, but thank you boys for an amazing album and amazing ride. RIP Count Bassy
1:07 “That I’m a tank and a goddamn machine uh” DAMN RIGHT
Berried alive lives
Song is bouncy :D
PIVOT!!
Such a great song
“Tap out” part is literally my brain at times
Fun one!
Thank you so much for writing this.
Thank you guys, you are amazing.
This song pretty much describes my life
so infectious!
God bless your family and God can help you
Heh heh... Im Scorpio too
How do these guys keep consistently making amazing music like damn lol
This song is so good
1.28 very good transitions. If i can to see your live concert😢
Verse 1: Tilian]
Surprise, uh-oh
Didn't think I’d have to answer for the lies I told myself
At least not so soon
Goodbye, uh-oh
To adrenaline and ambition comply
Gotta look inside myself for another reason to live
[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
Depending on the medicine to keep my colors vivid
Think I hit the limit
But I've been doing better ever slightly for a minute
Think that I can pivot
[Chorus: Jon Mess & Tilian]
Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I will learn from the cut when I bleed
That I'm a tank, I’m a goddamn machine, uh
Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I deserve to deliver my dream
That my name will light up the marquee, yuh
[Post-Chorus: Jon Mess]
Blame it all on the lamest dude
Blame it all on the payment due
Blame it all on the fragrant food
Pray to God for your mother
Always wonder what you gon' do
Come to terms with a painful truth
Pray to God that we make it through
Pray to God for your mother
[Verse 2: Tilian]
Tap out, tap out, tap out, tap out
You wanna tap out
But you feel ashamed to back out
What would your friends and your family say?
Uh-oh, didn't think I'd have to answer for the lies I told myself
At least not so soon
[Pre-Chorus: Tilian]
Depending on the medicine to keep my colors vivid

But I've been doing better ever slightly for a minute
Think that I can pivot
[Chorus: Jon Mess & Tilian]
Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I will learn from the cut when I bleed
That I'm a tank, I'm a goddamn machine, uh
Part of me wants to believe that I will not come apart at the seams
That I deserve to deliver my dream
That my name will light up the marquee, yuh
[Post-Chorus: Jon Mess]
Blame it all on the lamest dude
Blame it all on the payment due
Blame it all on the fragrant food
Pray to God for your mother
Always wonder what you gon' do
Come to terms with a painful truth
Pray to God that we make it through
Pray to God for your mother
[Outro: Jon Mess]
Scream, explain?
You do it ’til you’re trained
My voice is like my horoscope
I'm Scorpio, I’m strange
I tried to tame my brain
I admit it was in vain
I let it go, it flows
It knows I cannot do a thing
I got grips and I got stocks
I got barrels with an ox
Now I'm cold enough, I can't be angered
All this writing on my walls
Built them up to break my fall
Now I'm cold enough, I can’t be angered
How dumb must you be to think that someone would sooner scroll through comments for lyrics instead of googling them
Thx
@@bannedmadmike4234 tf are you thanking the guy for, saving you 3 seconds? Ridiculous

First
DGD are a Christian rock band now
So Messy
They need to let Tilian keep assaulting women to keep the consistency. Even though Tim’s dead I think they’ll be good as long as Tilian stays.
thats not even close to funny bro. wack ass mind
Jon mess? No. Johnny Messy
I know all the fanbois are gonna be big mad at this comment, but this is the only interesting song on the album, vocally. Instrumentally the whole second half slaps, but as far as til and Jon, very lackluster record aside from this song and MAYbE two secret weapons
Wow nothing yet :O Genuinely surprised. Yall are usually incredibly hostile
You're allowed to be wrong 😂. Jk, but I will say this album took a few listens to fully set in.
Yup. 100%
