I was raised to believe
All that I read
Fall in line with meIt's all, all that I see
Got a box of lies
Gonna get you high
With the words of wisdom that you need to hear
Got a big ass book
And I'm not a crook
But ill take your guilt in the form of dollars
Fall in line with meIt's all that seeWhat I believe
Its all that Keep my fingers crossed
I wanna be somewhere that I belong
Never fold under pressure
Keep my fingers crossed
I wanna be somewhere that belong
Never mind how I got there
Mingus is such a great drummer
Yeah, you always hear people talking about which singer was best or how cool and technical the guitar work is. No one ever really talks about the drums. They've got some sick drum parts in their songs.
What's interesting (and also super impressive) is how Mingus can adapt to really strange changes in time and time signatures. That's pretty hard to learn. In NASA, for example, thinking/playing in 3/4 and then 4/4 at completely different bpms is not easy. Especially when the transitions they have from tempo and time signature in some of their songs are 1 beat or sometimes half a beat.
He also has solid fills and grooves. (And he's pretty handsome)
So yeah, he's pretty much prefect.
lol dude
IkR!!
@@joshuareed3615 id fuck mingus
I love when Jon at 00:53 Joins in singing Tillian's part an does a little dance haha.
Harv same!
@@lisam.261 can someone gif that?
Thank you
Yesssssssss
this so funny man hahahaha
TILIAN'S VOICE IS HIGHER THAN MY GRADES
xD
+Clairine Baharrizki Peter Steele's voice was higher than my grades...
ha ha not sure how many more people here will get that reference lol
+Clairine Baharrizki Mhmm.
Um okay?
I think this is the band's best lineup and the band's best sound, I love the technicality and structures of their songs. The music videos are also fantastic.
+Matthew Stevens Agreed
what's the name of the guitarist of the far right?
Uh_Cool_Dood Josh Benton, I believe!
idk about this chief but i respect your opinion i think the original lineup with jonny was my personal fave i think i would put kurt travis era second and this one third but still a really good band throughout all the line up changes!!!
Literally saw them live today in 2014. Rip to their bassist
Tillian's smooth dance moves though....
You mean Jon's? Lol. c;
ElegantSkies Nah. I mean Tilian.
Oh lol c:
why not both?
they basically act the same way in this vid as they do live lol
I've listened to every album and I can honestly say that each and every singer brought something new and interesting to DGD, whether it's intonation, voice structure, and pitch. Would I pick one over another? No. Would I bash on the current singer? No. Because at the end of the day, DGD is still amazing and talented. Spread good vibes.
Couldn't have said it better
in fucking deed.
You are my favorite person
Exactly what I think. Well said
well said dude
Rest in power Tim Freaking Feerick. 😭💔
Am I the only person in the fucking world that likes Tilian?
No way, Tillian slays! Him and Jonny are tied for best vocalist for me.
dualmouseman I still can't link his voice to his looks, though.
dualmouseman SMauler9 i personally liked when he was with tides of man because i prefer his voice with this style of music but idk thats just me
Johnny Craig sucks, My band opened for him at the assembly music hall in sac, and all he cared about was getting drunk and talking about how great "Slaves" new album was. He made it point the band couldn't be called slaves, it had be called slaves -ft Johnny Craig, (technically we opened for Incredible'me, then they opened for Slaves.)
I love him.
Jon's screams are so on point, holy shit.
He is one of the best in the genre
Seeing how Matt smiles playing the drums brings a smile to my face. It's like pure passion!
I love how the swisher series build up in energy
DGD they know how to pick singers. Jonny, Kurt and Tilian, they really knew how to make great music with this band. I think these guys are amazing also because they made an awesome job in the other bands they are and were. Even working alone they do a great job. Great singers, and great choice by DGD. This band never disappoints.
Never !!
amen!
I was just thinking that exact same thing man true dat!
I completely agree with you that this band never disappoints. They are just GREAT regardless of who they bring in, and that speaks volumes.
Agreed. Sianvar secret band royal coda. Kurt jonny tillian a lot like birds it's never ending greatness. Will just knows how to spot amazing artists
ahh this was a suggestion a dude in a bus gave to me and i love it :)
I hope you befriended the dude on the bus.
strange, I'm on a bus listening to this after a freshman reccomended this to me
They have great taste
soul mates maybe ?
+TheMonkFilm yeah he's my bro now lmao
John is what has kept this band alive.
And Will of course.
snowisalliknow and Matt
***** and he wrote the script on getting you out of your dress
Ummm Excuse Me... Will Fucking Swan is the backbone of this band.
thisfookinguy yes he is, but id have to say without matt mingus its just will swan. check out sianvar or secret band. they sound similar but very different. jon, will, and matt keep this band Dance Gavin Dance. if one of them left, it wouldnt be DGD any more
I love how the drummer looks like he is having the time of his life at 2:09
Never liked DGD till Tilian joined. Their new and re-recorded stuff is awesome now. Going to see them in November
I'm seeing them in Oxford 😊
I liked them with the old vocalist Kurt and Johnny but I love it more better with Tillian
dgd with jonny was the most soulful band. I still can't decide if I like this new music.
I just found them. The lead now is amazing. I can't stop replaying a lot of their songs from acceptance speech and all the way to their new album. They're a amazing band and in my top 5 favorites now :)
I hate everything you believe in, you're trash. Tilian is good, but can't even compare to Jonny Craig or Kurt Travis.
Why is no one talking about the music video?
Personally, I think the music video is about an artist who is looking for a pure soul, and is trying to use it through his art. Most of everyone comes out an all black splotch because they aren't 'pure' so nothing is preserved and everything comes out black. But there's one girl who is pure enough to have her purity remain on the painting. Idk, just what I think.
Chris Doucet Thank you! Finally someone who tried to explain the music with an interpretation I agree with!
Well I can see where you get that but from the lyrics I also got that it meant everyone is the same because they were taught the same stuff and the artist was trying to find someone different from the rest.
angel lopez This. I feel like it's a statement about not fitting in. I suppose you could interpret it as not fitting in, but being different and capable of things others cannot be?
Chris Doucet I think the lyrics are about religion " I was raised to believe, all that I read" Meaning everything that they teach you, you cannot question because it's right which is what every religion says don't ask questions just follow. "I got a big ass book, and I'm not a crook, but I'll take your guilt in form of dollars. Churches often expect donations for sinning. Basically that artist was taught one way, and one way only so when he looks at the last girl he shakes his head because the way he was taught told him people like her are not pure. When in all reality she is the purest of all.
Chris Doucet for one the lyrics are about religion; feeling loved by god and that you belong, and letting all these lies make you feel better about yourself, i strongly believe thats what they are about. so i think the video is saying that you are only meant to feel like a work of art if you are like everyone else (black). Even though that most beautiful works of art are the ones that strive to take their own path and be different, (red even though others will oppose this. The correlates with the lyrics in how you can do what ever you want with your life and you should not have to march in a line, which religion encourages (uniform). Uniform helps us to feel like we belong.
My first dgd song I've ever heard. Now knowing Tims gone it hurts to see. But what a great group of people you can tell they love what they do. I hope this song and Tim lives on in it for a long time...
Got a box of lies
Gonna get you high
With the words of wisdom that you need to hear
Got a big-ass book
And I'm not a crook
But I'll take your guilt in the form of dollars
Bold lyrics, Jon Mess.
Oh damn. I never even noticed that. That's kinda putting it out there to say the least.
+Angel Maker They're talking about donating to the church out of guilt fam
Got a big ass book, and I'm not a crook, but I'll take your guilt in the form of dollars.
Roivas Castaway the best part so far
Mess always bold with the names / lyrics
Johnny Craig, Kurt Travis, TIllian Pearson, Dance Gavin Dance has been blessed with 3 amazing vocalist, the sounds is different by all three yet it still is perfect Dance Gavin Dance from Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean to Acceptance Speech....
The members who make the actual music stayed, thank god.
Prefer craig overall. Then Travis, and no preference towards pearson.
this has been stuck in my head for three days now. it will /not/ go away, i mean, i woke up this morning and it was literally the first thing that came to mind. That's okay though, it's pretty amazing
This is my favorite song by them
Hardest choice to declare in my life... Bless this mess
This song is really good, I have no idea what it is about it but it's hypnotizing.
Damn Starbucks, never thought I'd see you here
Damn still my favorite dgd song ever. Something about it
YES.
yes
Good taste man
my man
oh hey i know you
jolly omg
Should be called Dance Tilian Dance, did you see those moves he was busting out?! 0:45
I seen them in Cleveland and holy shit he had some funny moves better than most. Haha
Hahah yeah he does more live. :) he feels the music fah sho! :)
It just shows how talented they are that with every clean vocalist they had they captured a new and unique sound that still managed to make the same like the same band. I loved them with Johnny, Kurt(my personal favorite), and now with Tillian. DGD is just great.
GOT DAMN THIS SONG IS FIRE
Heck yeah I came here from crown the empire lol
REST IN PEACE TIM
The dances that Tilian and Jon do when they sing melt my brain. It just adds a little extra something to the music honestly. That may make no sense to anyone else, but it is just adds a flavor unlike anything else.
These dudes just don’t make bad music
The drums make this song for me
This is the first song I ever heard by this band. Almost 10 years later still rocking with them at the shows. 16 now 26…this band has been a staple in my life. Thank you DGD
Honestly, one of the best music video concepts I've ever seen
i met a dude who said these guys are a joke band i mean sure they are funny dudes but they are not a joke band they have fun with it while making pretty damn good music
Forever in love with Jon Mess. No homo. Or maybe yes.
RIP Tim..
i think acceptance speech is my favorite dgd album.
this album reminds me of happiness
I wish I could say the same about the basslines.
Orphen01 Yeah I feel the same way I love Acceptance Speech but Jason Ellis rips it up in Happiness. Although Tim Feerick made a good attempt and I feel like the mix didn't play in his favor. Still amazing band regardless :)
Dominic Dunn Jason ellis played on happiness!? I love that guy!
I believe he wrote the parts Happiness as far as i know. How do you know him?
Dominic Dunn What's up Dominic.
I'm crushing on those girls in the video
three some?? ??
Fancy meeting you again.. So you come to the comment section often? :D
Specialist01 why hello again :D yes I do! :p haha
Karol Gacek 2 sum?
being a fan of DGD for well over 10 years i can say without a doubt Acceptance Speech is clearly their most well thought out and well written album.
I have loved DGD since Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean and my love has grown more and more for the band once each album was released. Their progression has been quite remarkable. Jonny, Kurt, and Tilian are all amazing but there's no need to differentiate and convey favoritism when they can all be your favorite and already be aware of their differences
Same and I totally agree.
the bass really comes through on this song ... and the drums ..... man dgd drums are just so catchy
Tillian's dance moves bring me to life.
I really love this song. it has everything, great vocals, screams, food, art, and its such a great song. It gets a 10 out of 10 from me
Each album is unique. Each singer they've had has been amazing. Dgd is a band that does nothing but create awesome music.
They just keep getting better and better.
The band members? Yeah. The singer? ....Hahahaha
This is the song I found myself listening to all the time when I was first getting into the band, I truly love it and all the other strawberry swisher songs ♡
This was one of the many songs my ex played for me. And it's what got me into dgd, and I'm glad he made me love these guys and I can't wait till they come in April to my town.
This song just gave me goosebumps.
Man. People can say what they want. Everyone I try to introduce these guys to can't see the true beauty behind the lyrics and the melodies and the transitions. So good! ❤❤❤❤
Wow this sounds really unique
Always come back to this track, man look how young Tim looks rip buddy
Holy crap! I've never been a DGD fan.. I suppose i haven't listened to them enough..? But i was just won over.
- clicks replay -
dude the guitar playing on this track is funky as hell tho
this song followed me since I was an adolescent. Peace to Dance Gavin Dance. Helped me through some hard times.
underrated Tilian era album. wish they played this song at every show
honestly the first 2 tilian albums are insanely underrated, as well as my favorite tilian albums
Right ? I honestly skipped this song a lot but I gave this a whole listen and I was not disappointed. Lost , man of the year, bloodsucker ,and betrayed by the game are honestly his best lol
WOW! I was so sad when Tilian left Tides, but now hearing the addition of Tilian to DGD...freaking amazing!
Will Swan needs more praise! He was so good and just stayed on the side chilling after the concert and everyone just passed him i had to tell him how amazing he was. Seriously a great player.
I was typing a comment in facebook when this played, and when Tillian did the intro, my fingers lost power.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Matt Mingus's drumming here? Phenomenal.
Really was expecting the vocalists to be the other way round !
This was almost three years ago. Damn....This song still brings me so much joy, though. I needed this when it first came out.
DGD was seriously my favorite band ever and this new singer kills that. His voice is so high i can't find any kind of depth or definition to his voice. Its just.....always high pitched. God i miss Kurt Travis.
Listening back to old albums, it's very hard to compare them. With the lineup changes and new styles, each album is unique and progressively became different. These guys work hard to put out music for their fans and I respect them for continuing to create music.
aj stfu bk
aj ver no ur a feeding fuck
Saw this guys two days ago and Tillian was great man, he's actually able to keep those high notes very well, also met him, not such a bad dude. I think they're doing just great.
There is a deep meaning behind this song. Just cant put my finger on it.
Maybe it's that everybody is the same, creating the same dull "painting" in life, its telling us to be diverse and different :)
Jordan Gervoe Ironically they do that by creating the same dull, cliche music that every other band in this genre seems to do these days. Why are bands never original anymore :\
Well that isnt a true statement. What Jordan gervoe said could be completely wrong you never know.
xM4XvPA1Nx Exactly, 1,000,000 interpretations await us
Im pretty sure it's anti-religion/anti-conformity
This song got me through so much
I met Tilian the other night and HES SUCH A BABE UGH WHEN HE DANCES WHEN HE ISNT SINGING I WANNA CRY
even with out jonny this band is amazing!
Agreed, but johnny is amazing! !!
you are beautiful
sonia G I'll second all three of the comments!
sonia G Johnny Craig is terrible. I don't understand why anyone liked him and his voice.
+Blake Nitz to each their own I guess dbm was my favorite album
Oh man, Dance Gavin Dance never fail to make me swing my head back and forth and get so into their music.
No matter who the singer is DGD will always choose someone capable and there's masterminds behind the music, not just jonny.
Lets hope they keep on making music forever cus i cant live without em!
Eight years later and they're still at it!
RIP Tim 🙏🏾
The band sounds way better with Tilion. The spirit of Gavin lives in there nostalgic sound. AMAZING VISUAL TOO, Director knows what he is doing
a good team work right?
***** exactly.. all singers and band members did what they did and they all represent an era for gavin.. love this band
Never liked the screaming or singing. I usually just listen to the old instrumental they did for a demo.
DaxAndy
They have an entire instrumental album for their self titled album.
As much as I hate posthardcore, I still genuinely like this song. probably because there's no annoying, half-assed breakdowns lol.
+Cristian Hernandez (Chris181912) I hate that DGD is considered post-hardcore. People usually write them off as another trash generic "emo" band, but they actually have technicality and structure.
+MrMaganeese They're posthardcore regardless. But they're actually good at the genre. Bands like them and Of Machines early on really set the sound it was meant to have.
Why hate something you can't even truly define?
danzadashit Because it's a shit genre with the exception of a few gems here and there.
+Cristian Hernandez (Chris181912) its defined as literally anything blending hardcore and another genre. Try Regulate, Balance and Composure, Basement or fugazi. All considered post, all different.
these guys where amazing in concert
I'm sorry but this album and happiness are the best albums ever produced by this band. And I've been a fan from the start. Everyone only notices that Tilian voice is high, listen to How he sings. How his voice flowed with the instruments, it felt as if it was an exciting roller coaster ride in my mind, Not to mention the meaning in the lyrics and how the screams are placed in the song. It's all perfectly together, Every song is different, doesn't blend and has their own atmosphere. Instrumentally its a fucking piece of art. And the album is a masterpiece. They never disappoint. Six perfect albums (well one EP and then their was also the decent DBT2 albumm)
Honestly I think DTBM2 and Happiness are their 2 best. This is my favorite song on the new album and I wish they incorporated a bit more "funk" into their riffs like they did on the 2 albums I mentioned above. Tillians voice is growing on me but it reminds me of Kurt Travis's, not too great on heavy songs but amazing on ones like this. They might have to incorporate a similar style that they used in Happiness for the next album to properly make use of his voice, IMO of course.
as soon as you said "how is voice flowed with the instruments" i knew i've read the best comment in my life
RIP Tim
God bless us and write us a good story. Amen.
0:19 Is my favorite part of the video (like look how cute Mess looks while awkwardly dancing)
+Adilia Balderas Yaaaaas! I was thinking the same the first time I watched this!
At first I didn't like this new album. Probably because I was still use to Kurt and Johnny. Then, it definitely grew on me. Now, this has become one of my favorite albums along side Happiness.
My only criticism...I wish they made more songs like Powder to the People. :P
Cody Garbrandt is such an underrated drummer.
epic tune here, hits home.
Mingus kills this song, underrated it before jamming along with the drums.
I see that the artist is trying to find a soul to represent an actual unique personality but has all his hopes in the wrong people. The people who he thinks can fulfill his painting are the regular people who follow the standards of society; the people who are accepted and considered proper. That's shown when he cups the first girl and leads her; acceptance. Everyone doesn't realize that they all lack the substance that he desires because they are all the same and all accept the same standards that they all meet. When he see's the girl in the red dress he has no hope because he is blinded by humanity's standards of what is an honest unique personality. By the standards that he knows he cannot help but reject the actual unique person because he has no hope. The girl knows she is completely substance and goes to show him despite the artist's expectations. To his surprise, he finds what he is looking for. Theme of the video: to not neglect the people who are not considered acceptable or right because they are not like you, you might be surprised. Instead give them a chance to prove that they are what they claim. Basically. Do not shun anyone because they're different, accept each other for who we are.
Why doesn't this have more likes
+Angela Bartini sameeeeee
kaysan29 I’m thinking you nailed it!
Yeah like Donald Trump. Don't believe the status quo!
Thank you.
I've been a DGD fan for years and i love there tunes... They really should make a video for "Jesus H. Macy" I think it has the most heart in the album and there's so many ideas that can go with that song!
LOVE that song
Am I the only person that likes this newest album the most?
Happiness gg
Each singer that the band has had has brought an entirely new and unique sound to the band. I loved Jonny, I loved Kurt, and I love Tillian because they all bring something wonderful to the music culture table.
Anyone else in love with john mess's little dance at 00:19 😍
I feel that Dance Gavin Dance is simply evolving the way their music is structured and I think its a good thing rather than a bad thing. Honestly, DGD has had three amazing singers so far, I envy the singing abilities of all three but I do agree that some are better than others, both skill and for the band.
I think Kurt Travis was best for what the band's soul and meaning was about. The album Happiness contained my best memories was an absolute immerse for me. Happiness, to me, embodied pure randomness and simply....even though maybe cliche, authentic happiness. When I listen to Happiness I feel a surging emotion of glee and upbeat vibrations that helped me stay smiling through chasing and being rejected by a girl. Kurt Travis' vocals alongside the band effectively changed the way they played as the band changes their style to conform to the singers voice to project it more strongly in my opinion.
Jonny Craig is an AMAZING singer and although he was a very good singer for the band, he failed to represent what Dance Gavin Dance was truly about. I think the style of Jonny's singing sounded amazing when playing alongside the band but it sounded out of place at the same time.
Tillian's position as vocals for DGD is outstanding, it really is, but it seems that he makes the band closer to the "Post-hardcore stereotype" when it comes to singing; high pitched, wavering flavor. Tillian represents more of the band than Jonny as Jonny gave a more sensual vibe to the band but he isn't the best pick for the vocals as he comes between Jonny and Kurt is his place in the band.
But sadly bands move forward to appeal to new crowds and change their style of play to represent what they mean at different angles which may indeed be natural. I have to say that I like all of DGD's albums and hopefully will continue to like many more if they do not break up; please don't break up until I can attend a concert! That's just my lowly opinion on a band that I will admit, I am infatuated about. :) DGD FTW!
Agreed, loved Happiness.
I haven't heard much of Kurt Travis, but I think now, tillian shows a lot of the band's soul in his singing. We all know Jon Mess is the real star tho 😍😍😍
Tillian is the man!
While the 1 percent argue over how amazing Jonny/Kurt/Tilian is and how terrible Jonny/Kurt/Tilian is, can I just say that OH MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED TO JON MESS AND WHEN DID HE BECOME SO GOOD AT SCREAMING?!
Were the only ones that noticed bro.
Lol *highfives super hard* 🙏
You have any theories on how/what happened?
*brb guna listen to DTBM II while I ponder the extra awesomeness of this new jon*
Listen to him live.
So awesome 😍
he's always been good?
When he returned to the band in 2010 he sounded like that. He just got way better from 2008 to 2010 so Downtown Battle Mountain II was the first album he sounded this good.
SilversteinRescue his voice had definitely changed. I don't think it got better or worse cause in each album it sounded different but also had its own flare which I all equally love
They all look like they are having so much fun playing music. The way that Jon mess in particular is dancing around to the song is ingrained in my head and it comes up at random times in the day. I've been listening since the original line up and have seen them play with kurt in a tiny side-bar room as well as one of the main acts at the chicago house of blues with jonny craig. I wish I could tell them thank you for just existing and persisting despite all the lineup changes and spite.
+Michael Goelz lol they actually coordinated dances for them to do in this vid
+BigElephant I appreciate the dose of reality (although reality would normally dictate that you provide proof) but I don't think that it takes away from the point I was trying to make. You often (not always) can see how someone feels through subtle body cues even if there is choreography or acting or any other form of preset motions involved. People suck at hiding how they feel. IDK maybe im just reading into it too much since what I am talking about is so subtle that its hard to really prove.
nostalgia
What I got from this video is "don't trust hipsters"
why does no one give Tim any credit? he's good at playing guitar I think its's impressive
The Grammys are a complete and total joke till Dance Gavin Dance wins one. Will Swan should have a swimming pool full of them at this point.
I'm extremely thankful you guys exsist from so many different angles. Please don't stop
nothing makes me happier than this song!
my theory is this song is like talking about how some people blindly follow religion (i was raised to believe all that i read) Got a big ass book (bible) and i'm not a crook but i'll take your guilt in the form of dollars (offerings). Fall in line with me, it's all that i see ( follow the faith and accept it)
just a theory lol
a GAME theory ;)
it is haha
Groovy anti-god song
+Brett Williams Hypothesis....
+Brett Williams Now, this might seem a little out there, but i believe the song is about the educational system and how the government is brainwashing kids. instead of bible, its a textbook. fall in line is really to fall in line, like at school to line up and listen. you also dont have really anyone or anything saying anything aginst it, all that i see, and the box of lies is (maybe?) the intercom, speaking about how its a great day to be at school, and other prep bs.
but thats just my theory
a hard to belive one
Swagnemite i back it!!
this dude does top comments
I personally don't think that's it, but it's still really good and well thought out. Plus, what do _I_ know about what they meant. I didn't make the song.
(Name = Lost Bet. No Ship.)
