Comforted to find I’m not the only one who cries every time I hear this song
Every. Single. Time. 😂
Friends
Most times I do 😊
Don't forget smiling too. It's so cathartic hearing someone so clearly explain that they've had the same experience.
@@DetectiveStablerSVU and you are so right ❤️
The added bit at the end...
"No. There's no answer. There's no question. There's no place where I sleep at night, where I put my head is home."
Hits me right in the heart!!
The sentiment really reminds me of the Tom Waits song "Anywhere I lay my Head."
If you sit down, and hold your head in your arms... ok I'm not crying.
dude this song always gets me. But seeing his passion whilst singing choked me up. i cant imagine what was going through his mond when he wrote this
drugs
N, N-DMT
Dmt
PCP
Dmt, Dmt was going threw his mind
And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
chills are sent down my spine every time I hear that line.
Almost got me in tears just w that line
damn that line really hit home for me.......thank you.
This performance made me tear up
My favorite line, it's absolutely remarkable how it makes you feel.
Man, must have been so stressful and exhausting to do all of this live.
The amount of joy and passion this guy has for his music is just beautiful.
You know, some people put electronic music making down, calling it/them not "real instruments" but i beg to differ...seriously, look at what all a person can do with the equipment....
I honestly want to hear him sing this live without the filters. He has the vocal aggression and passion of a solid metal vocalist.
Hes doing exactly what hes supposed to...

"No, there's no answer, there's no question, there's no place where i sleep at night where i put my head as home". I love that added part
Words can't describe how nostalgic this song makes me feel. The way he sings it with so much passion always gets me teary eyed ;_;
That's odd same here
E guy Ditto.
E guy strange, me as well. On his Tiny Desk concert set, his first tune "Feel the Lightning", near the end I just started CRYING hard. Super odd, and cool experience.
Reminds me of when i did psychedelic drugs ego death is a powerfull experience
esoteric kalidescope like describing a DMT experience
I don't know if I love the recorded or live version better
exactly ..discovered this during my trip ...it was amazing
Why feel the need to choose? Love them each in their differences.
Both are totally epic
Both are equally beautiful for different reasons
This version sounds more angry emotional and angry and the recorded version is more sublime
I tried singing along with the song and there are no spaces for breaths lol
Do you see how red his face is? He isn't breathing either lol
It takes some practice, but you can do it ^^
Haha no kidding. I was literally watching the lyric video before this, trying to sing talk along, but fuuuuuuuug
I've been singing this song for years and it's such a struggle but with practice you get a little better each time. Hell it's near impossible to perfect it but it's just such a blast to belt these incredible lyrics
Wtf is a breathe?¿¿?
Damn the passion in this guy is insane!
Chills bruh, chills. Such a beautiful, beautiful song.
One of the best songs of the decade.
Literally sobbing while writing this but the emotion , the song, the everything. Its so touching and it will always be that way
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, DON'T WORRY SO MUCH...
Well, I looked Dan up again to see if he had a podcast yet because the dude is hilarious... found this instead, and now I'm pretty sure he's a genius.
he's on two episodes of improv4humans
So brilliant!!!! Episode 9 of Dark closes with this perfect song! The cave, etc! So great!!!!
I loved this song the second I heard it. But my mother just passed this past Monday and I was able to hold her hand. This song played over and over in my head. But this live version could be a metal song for sure.
I tear up every time I hear this. absolutely beautiful tune.
+aaron summey me too and I don't know why. The part that get me more emotional is when the Earth talk to him.
haterdesaint Exactly how I feel
I just keep feeling goosebumps through the whole song. Gets kind of unconfortable at one point haha. Great song.
Same here
This song always makes me cry.
bc ur a noob!
here because of "Dark" the Netflix Series Season 1: E9 this is brilliant stuff
Yeah, it fits the narrative/scenes perfectly.
Me too!
The first time I listened to this was wondering what I was listening to. Soon after the part with the earth looking at him I began to sob, because I realised I don't fully understand what he is saying, but i completly understand the meaning of what he is saying.
When I was done crying....I put this song on repeat. This is the only song in the world that makes me feel this much emotion.
No voy a mentir que es raro verlo en vivo, pero esa canción es mi filosofía de vida y la adoro y te quiero mucho Dan Deacon 🤎
Un comentario en españooooll. Me encanta también jejej. Saludos
@@laureanobreton9484 AAAAAAA!!! otro comentario en español, jajsjajaj saludos ✨
My friend that OD'd on fent month agoloved this song and I continue to play it in his memory. Rest easy Jacob 🥺🖤
This song always wakes up the magic in me, helps me feel connected to the whole cycle of life, to all other life, and I cry with such beautiful joy at the words.
WOW! No song elucidates the psychedelic experience so well. Thank you, Sir.
So much power and passion. This is my favorite performance of this song yet.
Art is such a wonderful concept. I couldn't imagine life on earth without it.
i hope i never stop dying, i love you dan deacon
He is my new favorite musician to listen to. It’s so unpredictable. This makes me want to play around with my vocal distortion equipment.
I have had this song on repeat for two hours.
this guy is awesome.loving the experimentation.
Omg Dan is crying too 😭😭I cry every time I hear this song
The music and lyrics are world class. But why I return here is because of his passion and total involvement in the song. He puts the song before him.
For some reason this song reminds of where the wild things are. I don't even remember the story from when I was a kid but it it does.
Dan deacon you make me cry😭😭
I like the way his equipment is color coded....very organzied and probably saves a lot of time...
Damn Dan your music takes me places where my turmoil can’t reach thank you brotha
Thank you Dan , this is my comfort song
I’ve been torn from this universe, and chewed up and spat back out. All while listening to this song. I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful experience
Such a beautiful song 😭😭😭 gets me every time
I love this song and the music video that goes with it
This song is so good, can’t believe I just found it
"When I was done dying my conscience regained
So I began my struggle a nothingness strained
Out a flash made of time my new form blasted out
And it startled me so and I burst out a shout
At which my legs ran frantic like birds from a nest
And I ran until drained leaving no choice but rest
So I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone in deeper but I'm not so brave
And like that I was torn out and thrown in the sky
And I said all my prayers because surely I'll die
As I crashed down and smashed into earth, into dirt
How my skin did explode leaving only my shirt
But from shirt grew a tree and then tree grew a fruit
And I became the seed and that seed was a brute
And I clawed through the ground with my roots and my leaves
And I tore up the shirt and I ate up the sleeves
And they laughed out at me and said "what is your plan?"
But their question was foreign I could not understand
When then suddenly I'm ripped up and placed into a mouth
And it swallowed me down at which time I head south
So I said
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Well I woke up to see them, these two mighty steeds
With their mouths grinning wildly expressing my needs
As they stood there above me, being flanked on each side
I felt no need to fear them, no reason to hide
So I reached up to touch but they faded too soon
Yet their mouths still remained and stacked up towards the moon
How that ladder of mouth waved so soft in the night
And I looked up in awe at that beautiful sight
And I dreamt about climbing into the night sky
But I knew had I touched them they'd mouth back 'bye bye'
So I got up and walked down the path in the dark
And there deep in the distance my eye caught a spark
Of a crab twice my size with incredible strength
Oh it greeted me kindly and then we all drank
And we drooled out together right onto the ground
And the ocean grew up quickly right up all around
And the earth looked at me and said "wasn't that fun?"
And I replied "I'm sorry if I hurt anyone"
And without even thinking cast me into space
But before she did that she wiped off my own face
She said better luck next time don't worry so much
Without ears I couldn't hear I could just feel the touch
As I fell asleep softly at the edge of a cave
But I should have gone deeper but I'm not so brave
I said
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya

Hey hey hey

Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey ya ya
Hey hey hey"
The pure passion is so emotional is gets me every time
I have always tears in my eyes while listening...
This song unites souls that might have felt lonely without needing anyone there.
How many times have I listened to this video?.... I lost count long ago...
heard this in Dark. never realized this was dan. great stuff
One of the best musicians right now who no one has ever heard of.
It's like a rule with this song, you have to scream the "I'm not so brave" part and you have to improvise the ending.
3.1K likes...48 dislikes...who are you 48?? song is BRILLIANT
God this song is a gem, brings back so many memories ❤
There are things we don't quite understand, but we feel it, and that's way more important
DAN DEACON THE DAMN BEACON OF ELCTRONICA
I can’t unhear this song. *smiles*
Absolutely amazing. This song gives me chills, the live version is making me levitate
Its always the deep and confusing songs that get to me so well!
I love this song, and I love Dan Deacon!
Dan you're a brillant genius and a great artist. Thanks for this magnificient SONG!
my new favorite song..
I appreciate the hell out of you man that song has gotten me out of a lot of dark times
A wonderful and amazing musician. To quote Schumann writing about Chopin, "Hat's off, gentleman, a genius."
I have no idea what I was watching that caused your song to come up on suggested list. Glad it did.
This song is awesome, been stuck in my head since last night. 😄
Seen him live in Edinburgh when he supported Future Islands. Fantastic artist.
dan is magic
Damn, this guy is a genius, so passionate.
He shines so brightly
so...when i was 18 i moved to Chicago and met an older man named Deacon Dan...and yes, he was a Deacon....and very nice but later i think was 'exposed'....just a funny, interesting life story~i have many!....when I first heard this song it was exactly my life/rebirth....there are NEVER any coincidences
His hey yah sound is hypnotic
So much talent encompassed in one being, love it ❤
Pretty sure Dan is my spirit animal.
watching dan perform this live gives the song so much more depth, he has so much passion for his art and just seeing him put his all into it makes this song that much more beautiful. :')
Love, LOVE, love LOVE IT!
Amazing
I fucking love this man and his music.
glory glory
A stunning song that always stops me in my tracks
This song is oddly nostalgic, even though I've never heard of it before
Thanks Dean for this
4:17 whats this lyric? Does someone know?
No
There is no answer
There is no question
There is no place where I sleep at night where I put my head
Is home
You put it right. Also this isn’t part of the song but a beautiful addition.
WuTang *3* at the end
The experience of Ego death essentially
Underrated artist. This is pure expression
beautiful stuff
I f**king love this song
beautiful. thank you.
I fucking love this song so much. It just fucking smacks me in the heart. Thanks Dan, youre a real gem
by far the best underground electronic artist
So much love for this version!
Dan has definitely died before
Or he got his hands on some DMT
When I was done dying my conscience regained

BerryJuice that last bit at the end - that's new, isn't it? Never heard it before- but thank you so much for posting the lyrics! I absolutely LOVE this song!
Me too :D
BerryJuice thank you for writing that out .very inspiring
Love this guy. God damn legend
true mystic
The most impressive thing about this is that it is not physically possible to sing this song, and yet he managed it. :) Seriously, try to sing along. It is not possible. Legend.
CHILLS DUDEEEE
Masterpiece!
Death is just as such a flurry of indecipherable fear, and wonder, and at one point there was deep comfort before terror sneered at me again, and I woke up with faces hovering over me in the hospital.
the horror of this deeply assured me there is no cruel gods that expect me to tear into those that deny them. That peace has saved me from many horrible nights with just myself, my mind and the household ive grown up in that trained me to fear what isnt there.
He gets it.
dmt report song?..!
pretty brilliant tho
Oh shit that sounds like a possibility
Wombot it is. Check the lyrics on genius
Poetry, my dude
epstein was killed or as you stated that he didnt do any drugs, maybe he just read about it. And epstein was killed, indeed.
@epstein was killed That's what confuses me. He said that's the case, but there's so much explicit imagery about it. Like the mushrooms that fly into the air when the character materializes before the crab part.
Best of best🖤
man i hope one day he makes an official version with additional ending line
