I've been desperately trying to find people to discuss it with. It's themes of determinism have been something of a mind frag as I try and put the pieces together.
No idea what DEVS is nor do I care...im here because mimi just passed away after a long battle with ovarian cancer. When everyone was fawning over mazy star, you, mimi were the underestimated voice of our generation. My condolences to her family. 🥺
I care as DEVS is a brilliant tv show that I highly recommend and not in the least of this brilliant song. Which I , without devs never would have heard. And not learned that obviously Mimi is the singer and sadly no longer with us...
My favorite tram lines are still en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandia_Peak_Tramway . Although, technically, since there's only 2 stops, it's about as predetermined as you can get.
So here I was, bored out of my mind and tired beyond belief when I decided to watch Hulu before I go to sleep. I subsequently see “DEVS” and decide “why not”. Well, I didn’t sleep when I wanted to, and I got chills no less than 5 times from Episode 1-2. This show is perfect in every way and I did not expect it.
I went into it with a "it's probably another drama of some sort with a facade of sci-fi" mindset and I could not believe it when it just kept crushing it all the way through the first episodes. I hope they keep holding onto the tech/math/philosophy side of it without dumbing it down.
I esp. love the inspired use of “Congregation” playing as the two aging spies struggle to kill each other in the parking garage. The juxtaposition of the slow tempo played over the desperate aged thus awkward struggle for life is as indelible as it is pathetically haunting. Just brilliant.
Just came back to here, because of Devs. Super cool show! It was crazy to hear it not once, but twice in episode 2. I've known Low for over 20 years, live in the same city as them and have seen them in concert probably 100+ times. They are lovely people, in addition to being a superb band.
It feels like this song can invade your head space for days after you have finished listening to it. Brilliant song from them. Glad this song is getting recognition it deserves.
This is the most exquisite combination of voice and instruments i have have the privilege of listening to . . . . Listen . . . . It makes your heart smile
A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of depersonalization and the importance of paradoxes. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Mimi!
Crazy. The mixing on this track, the panning... haunting and sublime. Love it. My kind of alternative. Yes, DEVS brought me, but the track was wayyy more than the episode, I say.
@@rl8303 True fellow Dev :). and the other murder scene was great to. So far every episode one death. I can't wait for more murders :D after all, THEY ARE DETERMINISTIC.
@@prathapkutty7407 he has his head trapped up against the tire, and is using the arm and his body as leverage to bend his neck. The snap that happens is his neck snapping, not his arm. Tbh it's still a bit of a stretch, but it is what it is
Devs for sure. Love the music in it. Loved Guinnevere in the last episode. I used to travel to SF for work and have spent a fair amount of time in Northern California, and the music on this show brings me right back there.

It's not "THE congregation" as in a collective noun, related to a gathering of people - The lyric is quite clearly "Sometimes, congregation takes the other side ..." meaning that the action of people coming together can have a particular effect ... a very different concept.
Devs... Thank you... For the pure escapism, the stillness and this epic song.... Blends so perfectly. I'm already sad that there are only 6 episodes left. I want to immediately binge watch but then I would miss the longing for the next episode.... Conflicted....
It's incredible how important the soundtrack is, I'd love to know who is the person that picks the songs for DEVS, we could ask him to share his Spotify playlist. I don't think Garland himself does it, might be?
According to IMDb, Devs' Music Supervisor is Becca Gatrell. Music Supervisors usually source the licensed music in a TV show's soundtrack, but the buck always stops at an episode's Director. Anyone in the Music department could have found this gem of a song. 🤷♀️
I grew up in Minneapolis in the 90s and saw Low play live many times at First St. Entry etc. Stoked for them they have a great song in a popular new show (Devs). 25 years of music, wow. Always haunting, but effective!
There was a young man that said 'Damn' I perceive with regret that I am.. But a creature that moves, in predestinate grooves, I'm not even a bus, but a tram.
there was a young woman who believed her predestined grooves were too real she decided to end her life full of strife no matter how her death made other folks feel.
Alex Garland, writer of Devs and many other incredible movies, books, etc, has earned many awards in his career....all Very deserved, and I think Devs will earn him more. If you haven't seen Garlands movies such as Ex Kachina, Annihilation, 28 days later, etc...then in between Devs airings, so yourself the favor of watching these. You'll quickly realize that Devs falls right in his wheelhouse of epic idea and creations. Devs is INCREDIBLE to say the least...which is the ultimate reason I'm watching this video...which was incredibly placed perfectly in the episode, and TRULY delivers the vibe Garland wanted. Long story short...we are all stuck inside with COVID-19 and I wanted to try to brighten your days with some movies to watch! I've ALWAYS wished for Fridays my entire life...but now I wish it was Thursday everyday so I can watch more Devs! Stay safe everyone!
I knew about Ex Machina and Annihilation, which I both enjoyed, but I had no idea that he wrote 28 Days Later! Devs is fabulous. Looking forward to seeing it unfold. Wishing you a happy and healthy quarantine as well!
So true. I’ve always loved her voice, all the way back to their first album in the mid 90s. I’m amazed that they are still making great music together.

Saw Low some years back and I was far away from the stage and distracted by my own bullshit. Glad I'm giving them a listen, I think I had created an opinion about them based on an experience I really wasn't immersed in. Upon further investigation, their understanding of sound, words, and feeling is light as a feather and strong as a board. Glad I'm listening. Thanks for reading this.
I went to parochial school until the 9th grade. If there is one thing I learned from it, it was they were they most judgemental, hurtful people of all time. I made a conscious decision in the 7th grade to become more spiritual than religious, read tons of books on the subject. Best decision I ever made. Organized religion is about money, contrary to their teachings, it is NOT about the the bible or anything good or holy. Just about money.
yeah, that's what hooked us into this song. dad joined an islamic cult; we joined to get closer to our dad. when our gf died they said she could not have been a human being, so no loss... we lost everyone our life depended on then.
Something happened to us the morning we found out about DEVS. We had been out all night long tearing it up and just barely made it back alive. We settled in and looked for a movie or whatever. Then DEVS just pops up. Wow What is this, right? Well DEVS is over the top! It just trips me out how a series like this just landed square in our laps!!! Where did this come from?
Damn, I'm here from Devs and I didn't recognize the band. I fucking love Low. "I could live in hope" is one of my favs albums. I think I should have checked for your most recent works too, thankful to Devs for having remaindered me about that.
Loving the comments here. Thanks y'all. Ex Machina was my first Alex Garland foray...then 28 Days Later and Annihilation. This show is...well, probably the best thing on tv since The Sopranos.
![Low - Especially Me [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gBtJpVY7NkE/mqdefault.jpg)
Devs has made me fall in love with this song.
I could not have put it better
ditto!
Yeah that`s true!
It's honestly the best stand-alone banger of the season
same dude same here...love this song
This is the kind of song one peacefully listens to while the world crumbles in a fiery roar around them.
Even if it's just in our emotional personal lives eh
Perfect description.
Precisely.
Indeed.

Most brutal fight scene I've seen in a long time. No martial arts, no fancy moves, just to men struggling to stay alive.
It confused me. How did he do that? He was just breaking fingers or biting, no?

@@tajbaker296 Don't worry about spoilers. It's all been pre-determined.
What a beautiful voice, what a great sound. Also, DEVS
I first thought this was Happy Rhodes, the singer. Look her up, she is Fantastic. th-cam.com/video/FDS9tTSpgnU/w-d-xo.html
Mimi Parker. I’ve been a fan of Low since the 90s, and recognized her voice right away when watching Devs tonight.

Me!👍 I love it!

DEVS is a pretty good tv show (created Alex Garland), the reason why I got into Low in the first place
I care as DEVS is a brilliant tv show that I highly recommend and not in the least of this brilliant song. Which I , without devs never would have heard. And not learned that obviously Mimi is the singer and sadly no longer with us...
no one was fawning over mazy star
lifes shit sometimes
Man, I bet you're fun at parties.
Just finished episode 2 and had to look up this song... it’s so beautifully haunting
Thoughts on the show? I think it's absolutely perfect
Lol me after episode 2
@@GlitterBull how do you like the show so far? :)
lol same
and me
Such a cool creepy harmony. Sad, curious, triumphant, tragic, all at once. Great song.
Yes, like a slow, melancholic march.
I'm here to listen to the music. This course was predetermined, like tram lines
My favorite tram lines are still en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandia_Peak_Tramway . Although, technically, since there's only 2 stops, it's about as predetermined as you can get.
no choice!
In the middle of a zillion fights
also my reply to your comment was unavoidable
Predeterminate was my love of Low
Rest in peace, Mimi. When I heard the news today, I thought of this song. You will never be forgotten.
Oh Mimi. There will never be another voice so sweet and so true. RIP
So here I was, bored out of my mind and tired beyond belief when I decided to watch Hulu before I go to sleep. I subsequently see “DEVS” and decide “why not”. Well, I didn’t sleep when I wanted to, and I got chills no less than 5 times from Episode 1-2. This show is perfect in every way and I did not expect it.
So.... how is life?
Eyes open wide deterministic
I am shocked by how good it is. The soundtrack is a big part of it, too.
Alex Garland. Did you see Ex Machina and Annihilation? The soundtrack to both adds to the chills...and Sonoya Mizuna.
I went into it with a "it's probably another drama of some sort with a facade of sci-fi" mindset and I could not believe it when it just kept crushing it all the way through the first episodes. I hope they keep holding onto the tech/math/philosophy side of it without dumbing it down.
I esp. love the inspired use of “Congregation” playing as the two aging spies struggle to kill each other in the parking garage. The juxtaposition of the slow tempo played over the desperate aged thus awkward struggle for life is as indelible as it is pathetically haunting. Just brilliant.

Utterly, heart-wrenchingly beautiful song. And yes, I'm here because it was so expertly placed in DEVS
It feels like this song can invade your head space for days after you have finished listening to it. Brilliant song from them. Glad this song is getting recognition it deserves.
I discovered your soothing voice with this song
RIP Mimi Parker...
This is the most exquisite combination of voice and instruments i have have the privilege of listening to . . . .
Listen . . . . It makes your heart smile
I heard this on "Devs" and thought it was Carly Simon, and that is one of the biggest compliments I can give to a piece of music.
SAME!
Yep same! Loved how they used this song with the scene too.
same!
It was placed perfectly in episode 2.
Same!
No idea what devs is ... I just woke up to this song which I never heard before and i wont forget how blissful it felt ever.
A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.
But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of depersonalization and the importance of paradoxes.
It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Mimi!
It's not about depersonalization or paradoxes.
It's about the power of propaganda.
I just keep listening to this song on repeat. I just can't get enough
THE LYRICS! I mean...this song is brilliant and beautiful. Oh and, DEVS.
The lyrics are perfect for Devs.
Crazy. The mixing on this track, the panning... haunting and sublime. Love it. My kind of alternative.
Yes, DEVS brought me, but the track was wayyy more than the episode, I say.
Loving the production, Wendell - "haunting and sublime" is nicely put - thank you
Just got the news of Mimi's passing....fucking love "congregation"...and yeah it was devs I heard it first....forever with me now.
Devs made me fall in love with this band. I discover amazing bands and songs from TV and films.
Devs bring me here.
Itemus PL devs and a brutal murder scene
@@rl8303 True fellow Dev :). and the other murder scene was great to. So far every episode one death. I can't wait for more murders :D after all, THEY ARE DETERMINISTIC.
I'm confused to how the American dude killed that Russian agent just by twisting his arm?
@@prathapkutty7407 he has his head trapped up against the tire, and is using the arm and his body as leverage to bend his neck. The snap that happens is his neck snapping, not his arm.
Tbh it's still a bit of a stretch, but it is what it is
Prathap Kutty he snapped his neck against the tire
Devs for sure. Love the music in it. Loved Guinnevere in the last episode.
I used to travel to SF for work and have spent a fair amount of time in Northern California, and the music on this show brings me right back there.
Devs made a great call using this song.
Sometimes
The congregation takes the other side
An inquisition of familiar lies
A grave distraction from a quiet rite
Sometimes
The congregation can't make up its mind
Incarceration creeps up from behind
The implication is its own device
In the middle of a salient fight
Sometimes
The congregation can't be satisfied
Can't be bothered with the ways and whys
Generations like their ways and times
Sometimes the congregation takes the other side
An inquisition of familiar lies
A grave distraction from our quiet right
Sometimes the congregation can’t make up its mind
Incarceration creeps up from behind
The implication is its own device
In the middle of a salient fight
Sometimes congregation can’t be satisfied
Can’t be bothered with the ways and whys
Generations like the waves and tides
thanks for the lyrics!
It's not "THE congregation" as in a collective noun, related to a gathering of people - The lyric is quite clearly "Sometimes, congregation takes the other side ..." meaning that the action of people coming together can have a particular effect ... a very different concept.
Congregation, in this sense, is a verb not a noun.
Robert Graeme I clearly hear a “the” for the first 2 verses, but I do like your version better, alas.
If you here because of Devs, I have some great news: you've just discovered your new favorite band! Enjoy exploring their discography, I'm jealous.
hell yes, i'm so happy for the folks who came here from devs. low slays so hard, gradually.
Couldn't get pass the opening of episode 2 of devs this song is beautiful
This song plays again at the end of episode 2 as well, and that imagery is hauntingly well-suited to this song.
Somewhere in the multiverse there's a quantum computer that knew I would post this comment. Mind blown 💣💥
And Also knew i would smile at your comment
No there isn't. Good serie Devs, but the physics within it is pure fake
@@nestormalo6006 the computer also knew you were going to say that.
Do not confuse a TV serie and real physics
@@nestormalo6006 i see u really enjoyed watching devs
This song is quite a mood setter
What a gift she was. RIP
You ever hear a song and think “damn, that would be an amazing cherry on top for a twisted up ending to an episode on a bonkers show”
Devs had a wonderfully eclectic mix from this to the soundtrack from Hair to CSN, and Y. What a trip!
I have to thank the series Devs for featuring this song! Great show and a very fitting song for the show!
Where have I heard this? I've never watched Devs, so it can't be that... I can't think how else I might have heard it, but I know I have.
Ron Swanson's sad blue eyes brought me here.
Devs... Thank you... For the pure escapism, the stillness and this epic song.... Blends so perfectly. I'm already sad that there are only 6 episodes left. I want to immediately binge watch but then I would miss the longing for the next episode.... Conflicted....
Here because of grandad scuffle in parking garage.

found this by watching DEVs. love the show. love this song. you are right i am looking at this band some more. and im from duluth.

This one tugs at the heart strings
Dev's rocks .... and so does this song from Low.... it makes you think deep thoughts... Gotta Love it...
...they are simply an amazing band...and their song *Lullaby* is undeniably a Masterpiece of the Indie Rock Music 🎶...
thank you for the introduction Devs
This is going through my head. Hypnotic. After watching 'Devs'.
Love this. Had to find it after hearing it on ‘DEVS’ the weird and wonderful new drama
I heard this on Devs and I just loved it so I had to find the song. You got a new fan!
Did yall like the show?? I loved it. 😂😂🙌 no one I know has seen it

It’s amazing what a tv show can do to get your name out to a larger audience.
It's incredible how important the soundtrack is, I'd love to know who is the person that picks the songs for DEVS, we could ask him to share his Spotify playlist. I don't think Garland himself does it, might be?
I assume the song choices were made by the composer Ben Salisbury, who also composed Garland's previous movies Annihilation and Ex Machina

Absolutely. Devs is frighteningly beautiful.
There was a young man that said 'Damn'
I perceive with regret that I am..
But a creature that moves, in predestinate grooves,
I'm not even a bus, but a tram.
there was a young woman who believed
her predestined grooves were too real
she decided to end her life full of strife

Another Devs convert.
I haven't been a Low fan for 15 years or so, The Curtain Hits the Cast is one of my to 5 albums. This is beautiful, it's nice to hear them again.
You're missing out big time, their last album Double Negative was one of the best albums of the last decade
Thanks DEVS!!! I'm hypnotized with this!

He also wrote "The Beach", novel where the movie with same title is based on. Alex Garland is a genius.
@@quills947 he also wrote Sunshine, that Judge Dredd reboot, and couple videogames

Don’t know why , this song keep me focus , thank you Dev for introduce the song to me
This show is amazing
didn't end up liking Devs, but def liked this song enough for me to download every Low album.
Heard on Devs, was exremely impressed. It's an earworm for sure.
Mimi Parker has the most amazing voice! It turns to magic when Alan Sparhawk joins in.
So true. I’ve always loved her voice, all the way back to their first album in the mid 90s. I’m amazed that they are still making great music together.

Saw Low some years back and I was far away from the stage and distracted by my own bullshit.

I think anyone who has been part of organized religion and has since moved away from it can feel this.
I went to parochial school until the 9th grade. If there is one thing I learned from it, it was they were they most judgemental, hurtful people of all time.

yeah, that's what hooked us into this song. dad joined an islamic cult; we joined to get closer to our dad. when our gf died they said she could not have been a human being, so no loss... we lost everyone our life depended on then.
I think this song was used in Devs because you can't place it in time. It feels old and new at the same time
Yep. Devs. I love how TV shows can turn me onto new artists.
This song is a real gem

This tune makes me want to peel my life away to get a better view.
Mega track discovered on DEVS loved it just seconds (Low - Ones & Sixes album)
Devs brings me here to enjoy this beautifully composed tune!
Rest in peace, beautiful brilliant woman.
The keys from 3:00 remind me of NIN.
vibes for sure
Atmospheric, ethereal and utterly mesmerising.
Still coming back for some Devs vibes years later.
I'm here because of Devs.
Yes, here because of Devs. Great track.
DEVS
Yesss DEVS had such an amazing soundtrack!

me about that.
The show had me at “Nick Offerman”. His project choice did not disappoint. Just brilliant all the way around.
My hubby and I are hooked!!!
Me definitely, I had a couple of Low albums but not Ones and Sixes; that's changed. It's a great track used brilliantly in Devs.
So grateful that Devs brought me here!
Yep, love this song, now addicted to DEVS
Loving the comments here. Thanks y'all. Ex Machina was my first Alex Garland foray...then 28 Days Later and Annihilation. This show is...well, probably the best thing on tv since The Sopranos.

I first heard this band when they released 'Half Light' back in 2001.
