I think the constant change in singers is one of the things that keeps this band fresh, as long as Will Swan and Matt Mingus are in the band I never think they'll do a bad song.
Cloe Jean its a shame that his vocals are usually too sugary and overproduced. while he is a very good voice, i dont think is works on a posthardcore song
Everyone is talking about how great Tillian's singing is, or how blessed we are to hear Mess' lyrics, or how much Swan carries this band, but can we please, pretty please, talk about Tim literally slaying the bassline for this song? Hands down one of the best bass parts for a DGD song
uh....what? transpose the bass part for this song and then do the same for "head hunter" and look at the difference. He's alting between partials on this song which is easy, but head hunter has a jazz bass feel running out licks. Harder to play, and hits harder in the feels to me.
There are three different songs in this song and it’s mind blowing. They all have a part and are so talented in their own contributions. This is a band that were put together in a mystic fashion. Damn it’s good.
@@cozytown5540 I dunno. As a music listener, and not a musician, I'd argue that the Mars Volta is a more bit esoteric; and arguably more of a "musician's band" in the same way that Yngwie Malmsteen is a guitarist's guitarist. TL;DR My musician friends are more excited about Mars Volta than DGD.
I feel like Tillian and John achieved heights that very few bands with two singers ever reach... Every time I listen to a DGD song with both of them, I am completely blown away by how complete the sound is.
welcome aboard everyone :) I found them back in 2008 but stopped listening to them in around 2011 right before Tilian came along. I fell back in love with them in about 2022. It's been an incredible goosebump filled journey that never ends
I've got to be the only 30 year old black guy that listens to DGD......not to mention I just found DGD, Johnny, Emarosa, Tillian , etc in the past few months. Now some of my favorite music.
This song brings me so many memories. I could not listen to it until a few weeks ago. Met the best girl I have ever shared my life with, while getting hooked by this band. We both loved this song.
right there brother, this song brings back the best memories of meeting a girl in Chicago that I'll never forget, this song is part of the sountrack to my life
Such a good choice of song for a video. One of my favourites on the album. I wasn't too sure with the last album that Tilian was such a good fit but it seems that they have grown together and i couldn't be happier. Truly a masterpiece
This dudes are amazing, they consistently produce brilliant art over the years. I feel so grateful for all the hard work and passion they've invested in this project man. Really, think about that for a second. They represent our beloved style of music with remarkable creative integrity and originality. So thank you boys.
I'll always remember the first time I listened to this song. I was deployed and got the song shipped to me on CD. Loaded it up on my laptop and gave it a listen with my Dre Beats 1.0s. I don't think they will ever produce such a strong opener for a record. In my mind this song has always been one of their best designed works, from the harmonization, contrast between chorus vocals, and flawless use of instruments leaving no gaps in the sound (other than prechorus 2, but it sounds great as is). 2:46 onward always gets me in the feels. It punches and jams in a way that really seems above them, like they made a song better than the music they already make. It's weird and I'm probably the only person that thinks this but it will always be my favorite.
The harmonization between the singers is the best I've ever heard. The way you have one vocalist carrying a beautiful tune along with the one screaming in the back, there's so much going on here and I love it!
Sadly this band may not exist anymore. Jon mess is under doctor orders not to use his voice, they got rid of tilian, and the sad passing of the guitarist. They cancelled their tour and appearances
Credit to the guitar player! As much as I love the clean vocals, the guitar player is the unsung hero of this and many of their other songs. You guys rock!! Love the newest line-up! What a perfect alignment of musical talent!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Dance Gavin Dance. Forever one of the best bands in the entire world. If you disagree with me then oh well. These guys can never make a bad song. How many albums? How many lineup changes? This is in my opinion one of their best songs ever.
You know when you hear a song for the first time that was released a decade ago and you wonder what your life would have been like now if you’d have known about it back then? Yeah
Call your phone and open up my fate. Cause I know you're so connected. I need poison, mitigate my pain. Feel my toes go golden up in toes in flames, give me false hope in my brain. Tranquilize and modify my brain. Where did I go wrong? There's nothing I can do, the thrill is gone. So I play these nervous songs...pretending I'm not barely hanging on. Medicate, medicate, medicate me all night long. Medicate, medicate, medicate me all night long. God damn...these lyrics hit me so fuckin' hard every time I listen to them. It both resonates with me and shatters me beyond all understanding...
Tilian is not too sugary, he brings a perfect balance to DGD🤙 As a 30 year old I've noticed the older I get the more I appreciate the clean vocals.. &fyi three year olds get terrified when you play born of osiris, norma jean, or winds of plague..
I have listened to this song thousands of times, even though I first heard it in 2021. The vocals of John and Tilian perfectly intertwine into a single flow of energy, drive, but at the same time sensuality and sincerity. There are no emotions that can describe how I feel about this song. Thank you for being you! Glory to Ukraine!💙💛
How does one stop listening to this? ... I got to know these guys last week and now I'm addicted to it! Not to say about the videoclip that has got these amazing pictures, so abstract and colorful. Excellent job, guys!!!
This is just one of those songs that you just can't get tired of. Love it. _Also, Will should be in the driver's seat. He carries the band more than anyone. :P_
I'm new to discover DGD but Will Swan will go down as one of my all time favorite guitarists. This guy is absolutely insane. I have never heard anything like what he plays .
+Hunter Thomas They all show significant amounts of talent. It's unfair to give any one the credit. They all come together to produce the sound we all love and I appreciate all their work.
I just discovered this band like last week. I had known about them for years but never heard any of their stuff but _my god_ I am obsessed with their music now
sadly took me this long to find this song but all i have to say is this is so unbelievably underrated!! I heard- this song and immediately fell in love and i know many other people would have the same reaction if they got the chance to hear this absolute gem
Aesthetics are absolutely stunning. Did anyone else notice that it's been done in one take all the way to ~2:20 ? The Bokeh after that is just magnificent. Love the song, need more suggestions of songs by DGD please!
The way Jon screams so effortlessly in all his videos. He's not down on his knees or head bobbing he's just standing there screaming his lungs out while I'm here dying just trying to keep up. What a monster!
There's something about DGD that keeps me coming back for more. They're a feel good drug that tie in with so many moments in my life. Just as I think to myself that i'm ready to give them a break they release a new album that's even better than the last! Fuck me they're too damn talented!
Mathew MacDonald he was super into skateboarding.. he lived right next to laguna High school..we used to skate in his garage.. and he had a drum set he played on from time to time.. but not all the time.. he was a cook guy.. but very much the skateboard life style type of kid.. always practicing... guess it carried over to his drums... practice practice practice...
This song went crazy at concert!! Such a great night when they came to my city wish they’d come back soon cause I know they loved the crowed it was insane. They came back for an encore too it was fucking dope
Hace más de una decada cuándo los escuche por primer a vez... Quedé impresionado; pero lo que mas impresión a ahora es que sobrevivieron... Por encima de otras bandas que en su momento eran más conocidas. Gracias por seguir cantando.
RIP To a legendary Bassist. We will continue to own the night in your honor Tim Freerick
How did he die?

Dude is a beast check out his drum cam videos they are awesome
YES!! the double bass pedal bit before the final chorus is what makes me come back to this song. feel that shit in ya sternum
agreed
indeed
He also makes a mean pot brownie.
There are three different songs in this song and it’s mind blowing. They all have a part and are so talented in their own contributions. This is a band that were put together in a mystic fashion. Damn it’s good.
10000%
Doesn't practically every DGD song have a couple of songs contained in them?
If you think this is good, you should listen to the Mars Volta. GDG was obviously extremely inspired by them, and they're even better
@@cozytown5540 I dunno. As a music listener, and not a musician, I'd argue that the Mars Volta is a more bit esoteric; and arguably more of a "musician's band" in the same way that Yngwie Malmsteen is a guitarist's guitarist.

I love how their songs have like three different sections in it ya know
Rite?
More like 6 or something
Oh Youd love my band then lol
Weird/calm verse
Catchy chorus
Boppy/groovy section
They now how to structure a song
RIP Tim. You were an amazing bassist and your talent and work will live on.
I grew out of many bands but DGD is still tight
ShadowindLUKE unlike your butt
oh shit, ripped him a new one
Tyler Sheets 😂😂😂
agreed man
So true
I feel like Tillian and John achieved heights that very few bands with two singers ever reach... Every time I listen to a DGD song with both of them, I am completely blown away by how complete the sound is.
Very recently discovered this band. Can't believe I've never come across them before. Every single member is immensely talented...
Discovered them in the start of 23, I feel the same way dude
Found them last year, I’m also disappointed that I hadn’t found them sooner. Coming from someone who grew up listening to rock music. 😭
welcome aboard everyone :) I found them back in 2008 but stopped listening to them in around 2011 right before Tilian came along. I fell back in love with them in about 2022. It's been an incredible goosebump filled journey that never ends
Dgd helps me remember who I am when I feel overly influenced by other people. Thank you.
I've got to be the only 30 year old black guy that listens to DGD......not to mention I just found DGD, Johnny, Emarosa, Tillian , etc in the past few months. Now some of my favorite music.
Chris James I'm half black does that count =)
Chris James I'm half black, 31, only been listening to the for a couple years & they are my all time fave!
I'm 28 and black and love some DGD😂
26 y/o Indian dude from South Africa 😅. Good tunes transcend boundaries bro✌
15 year old girl living in Pakistan, brown as toast and I'm so into this band haha

This is such an underrated comment. ❤

That transition starting at 2:17 always gives me chills.
Absolutely love the part at 2:45
wilson0213 Finally someone agrees. That is my favorite part of the album.

best part of the song... using your comment as a repeat button
That double bass inserted perfectly into the beat.
It hits
This song brings me so many memories. I could not listen to it until a few weeks ago. Met the best girl I have ever shared my life with, while getting hooked by this band. We both loved this song.
right there brother, this song brings back the best memories of meeting a girl in Chicago that I'll never forget, this song is part of the sountrack to my life
I think this has become my favorite album of 2015 so far!!
While She Sleeps- brainwashed (my favourite)
This is not far behind
+apahal257 fuck yessss
for me, one of the worst post-hardcore records of this decade.
Ymbert Bonaventure Dickens Shut the fuck up
DanceMuseCafeWeekendM83 KamasiFourtetWeezerIcarus dance gavin dance is the worst post-hardcore band of this dacade.
I feel every single moment of this song. Such a masterpiece.
DGD is one the greatest bands of the past 2 decades. They’re absolutely brilliant
guitar tone, drums, jon screams, ace engineering on the track. This band is amazing
not just studio magic they had a tight set when I saw them live.
Such a good choice of song for a video. One of my favourites on the album. I wasn't too sure with the last album that Tilian was such a good fit but it seems that they have grown together and i couldn't be happier. Truly a masterpiece
This song takes me from a beatdown of a day to being so pumped I feel like I can take anything I want. Love Dance Gavin Dance.
Literally me today with this song :)
Yeah same
Well except for the vocalist cause he’s a terrible person
Dope. Andrew pulls JCs parts perfectly. Plus he’s starting to get Jonny’s hair. He may just be absorbing Jonny’s power
A Beautiful Dichotomy between these two voices.

Crazy. First time listening deployed as well...
I just listened to this song for the first time a few hours ago while working, and I was captured.
I just discovered this band and I can't describe how good they are, like holy shit, how is every song just amazing?
Thanks for Georgia….and I’m so sorry you experienced me at my worst. Keep growing, you’re going places.
The harmonization between the singers is the best I've ever heard. The way you have one vocalist carrying a beautiful tune along with the one screaming in the back, there's so much going on here and I love it!
And to think that more than one year ago this song randomly appeared on my spotify, I heard it and instantly fell in love with this band
same here, I literally thought it was a female vocalist until I googled them
Sadly this band may not exist anymore. Jon mess is under doctor orders not to use his voice, they got rid of tilian, and the sad passing of the guitarist. They cancelled their tour and appearances
I thank spotify for including this song on a daily mix
That's exactly how I found Tides of Man- A Faint Illusion.

This song has basically been on repeat since I heard it the first time a week ago. It's fantastic.
This is most likely the best song ever created in history

December - 0:55 January 2024/2025 still a fan where your love at?
Paying my respects here for now. Rip legend.
This is just one of those songs that you just can't get tired of. Love it.
_Also, Will should be in the driver's seat. He carries the band more than anyone. :P_
Myotic Tesseract every piece of this band is crazy talented, are you kidding?
They have said many times over and over that Will is the 1 behind the sound

I was lucky to listen to this when it came out. What a thrill of a piece!

A dinâmica e o sincronismo entre os dois vocalistas é incrível.Sou "superfã" dessa banda. Esse album é tão genial quanto o Acceptance Speech.
I feel like these guys just really need a hug...

The bass in this song is phenomenal. And the drums, well it goes without saying, monster!!!
Guitar riff ripped my soul out and started to vibe with it
I'm new to discover DGD but Will Swan will go down as one of my all time favorite guitarists. This guy is absolutely insane. I have never heard anything like what he plays .

One of the few bands i still listen to from my “angsty” teenage years
Its been years since ive listened to these guys. So happy I looked them up again. Absolute fire !!!
We have to make this masterpiece viral, too much crappy music gets more recognition, gotta stop that nonsense
Every musician in this band is a fucking perfectionist at their instruments.
sadly took me this long to find this song but all i have to say is this is so unbelievably underrated!! I heard- this song and immediately fell in love and i know many other people would have the same reaction if they got the chance to hear this absolute gem
Just listened to this song for the first time a few weeks ago and I am obsessed
Will and Matt are in the backseat because they are originals, hence the backbone of what founded DGD. It all makes sense now.
Hauntsy Wauntsy wow dude well observed
Hauntsy Wauntsy and what about jon mess? he left for happiness but was there from the start
Jerome Jenkins but that's where the line is drawn between Jon and the other two, he wasn't there for every album.
Well only will swan is the original
Nope Mingus is also OG like Will and Mess
I love DGD forever. This song is what sold me on Tillian as a vocalist for sure though. Ugh, take me back to 2015. 🤍🤍🤍
RIP bassist. RIP the career of a God tier vocalist.
Apparently I streamed this over 1000 times this year (spotify 2020 wrap up thing), only discovered them this year.
It's been years since I've listened to DGD. They're still as amazing as they've always been!
I dont know why, but i love the screams of this guy❤️
Aesthetics are absolutely stunning. Did anyone else notice that it's been done in one take all the way to ~2:20 ? The Bokeh after that is just magnificent. Love the song, need more suggestions of songs by DGD please!
After Tillians split from DGD just came here to relive the moment I first heard his voice.
exactly what im doing right now
The way Jon screams so effortlessly in all his videos. He's not down on his knees or head bobbing he's just standing there screaming his lungs out while I'm here dying just trying to keep up. What a monster!
this one makes me cry, I love this man's voice
2:45 onward is absolute heaven
TIllans vocals,Jons screams and WIlls guitar makes this song my favorite DGD one by far. And I have been a fan for a while.
There's something about DGD that keeps me coming back for more. They're a feel good drug that tie in with so many moments in my life. Just as I think to myself that i'm ready to give them a break they release a new album that's even better than the last! Fuck me they're too damn talented!
everybody forgets about Matt Mingus... he's amazing...
Mathew MacDonald I went to school with him.. (chaz)
Matt Mingus? was he a nice guy?
Mathew MacDonald he was super into skateboarding.. he lived right next to laguna High school..we used to skate in his garage.. and he had a drum set he played on from time to time.. but not all the time.. he was a cook guy.. but very much the skateboard life style type of kid.. always practicing... guess it carried over to his drums... practice practice practice...
