Dance Gavin Dance - Powder to the People

[ironicballs]

so i looked up the lyrics listened to the song and loved it, at first i thought they were being racist in some of their songs, but this one ,powder to the people, is talking about how cocain e is giving to everyone to keep them at peace, people are coked up and dont care, we are all snorting the coke of media bullshit. our "bohemian" lifestyles are ruled by others and our "equality" is actually constituted. the last verse explains it all.

[ironicballs]

@ironicballs new DGD fan listen to all the songs now love everyone of them

[fuallagain]

fuuuuuuuuuuuck i LOVE this band !!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

[tdwcolin1156]

Am I the only one who likes Kurt better than Jonny?

[mudkipRULESyoMAMA]

@tdwcolin1156 i like kurt and jonny equally :O!

[ILikeMusicYeuh]

@tdwcolin1156 Nope. I only like Kurt a little bit more than Jonny because he's nicer. But if Jonny wasn't such a douche I'd like them equally :D

[FALLINGupTHESTAIRZ]

@tdwcolin1156 I think your reading into to much of the mac-book bullshit. Honestly, Jonny is waaaaaaaaay better. BUT. Everyone has their opinions. :)

[Mailb0x777]

Yeah um, it's SUPPOSED to be powder to the people.

[mayrawesome]

i don't always snort cocaine... but when i do...

i listen to Dance Gavin Dance.

[jorplaysmusic]

DGD just makes me want to go on a.. warm.. walk.. Just like in the middle of summer, just walk out the door and go on a long walk

[SoStonedMan]

I prefer kurt over jonny but I don't care much I have ALL of there albums on my iPod and I like to put all of the songs in shuffle and I woldn't tell the difference<3

[Zerlock1]

@SoStonedMan if you cant tell the difference then you're are a fake fan that doesn't deserve to listen to them..

[CoreyScar03]

[AwesomeSauce57]

@killthequiet 1. Find a download for the full download on Mediafire or something

2. Make new folder on desktop

3. Take the downloaded songs and put them in that folder

4. Get iTunes and open it. Place those songs in there

5. Put songs in playlist AND in track order.

6. Burn Playlist on blank CD

Merry Christmas.

[contrel08]

Im black, and everyone of my friends think I'm crazy for listening to this. But I feel like they are crazy as fuck to not. This makes college soooo much better for me!!

[xAtreyuAlesanax]

@contrel08 You need new friends :p

[BigSloan413]

@contrel08 Who cares what color you are, You can listen to whatever floats your boat or sounds good to you. And if they are your "Friends" they should respect that.

@contrel08 Same here :3

[Zombi3zxoxz]

[Sk8Rockstar1]

hah just right now i learned how to play this already

[desiraaaaae]

I feel so bad because there's 69 comments and I'm typing the 70th. /:

Anyway.

When I used to walk to school I listened to DGD the whole 30 minute walk.

There and back. Thank you, DGD for making my walks less boring.

[jayson201]

@desiraaaaae I'd hate that long of a walk but I'd love it. Time to just think and relax.

[BLOBBLYBLOBBY]

@jayson201 When I went to college (It's not the same in UK as college is in america) I had to travel an hour and a half, 45 mins on a crowded public bus, and 45 mins walking, would blast through thier albums singing away :D

[Digitbig]

I started to listen to this album while I waited for some file transfers to finish. They're done, it's 11:30 here in Texas, I'm running on empty, and I still have to shower and brush my teeth before I can go to bed. That can all wait because I still have one song to go, dammit.

[AwesomeSauce57]

@Digitbig Sir, you are a god.

[88joeana]

soo good!

[EpicFailStorm]

The rap is my favorite

[drawingmaster]

Who chooses to keep all these bohemian thoughts alive?

[DojaTheKid]

If you can't tell Will Swan's epic voice then you have no business listening to this.

[XSceneXrandomX1]

I LOVE 3:10-3:40 DRUM BEAT!!!!! :DDDDD

[XSceneXrandomX1]

I LOVE 3:103-3:40 DRUM BEAT!!!!! :DDDDD

[cannibalslayer13]

[freak20121]

[TheLirpaZemog]

freakn love this song.dancing music

[thatdamnwetback]

From 4:06 and so on, it sounds so familiar! What Will is playing, I know it's in one of their older songs, maybe in DBM 1. It's just bugging me because I can't remember where it's from! :/ Someone help me out? haha

[rubendemo]

in my opinion happiness is DGD best album musically, and not that Kurt Travis isn't a great vocalist, he is actually awesome but i think this album would've rock with Jonny's vocals

[Pangolinist]

1 person is a dick.

[MegaVietNam]

wow, the rapping part is not so bad afterall

[MrHavoc666]

wow to that one dislike you are stupid and dumb and fat and ugly and everything

[gtfox1979]

this song my friends, is what an orgasm sounds like

[ThePolluginager]

like to dislike ratio of 64:1 let's keep it this way

[ThePolluginager]

these guys can make some fucking music

[StrictlySatire]

Someone has probably pointed this out already, but I see so many clueless people so I am going to state it. a few DGD members got kicked out because they had cocaine addictions. This song is indeed about cocaine. Drugs are bad, mkayyyy.

[Butterflysonic]

@StrictlySatire Indeed..

[antigravitydawgz]

@StrictlySatire LOL......

[ddduuubbbstep]

@StrictlySatire Drugs make music like this possible

[TheeAndreyz]

[FyllePaal]

[MaryJane1011]

Is That Will Swan At 2:44 ? Cuz That Sounds Legit !

[psychoracer200]

@MaryJane1011 Yeah. Sounds weird, he's not screaming. I like it

[Bnthmypprkut]

@MaryJane1011 I think it's the dude from Flobots. Sounds like him, and same lyrical style

[Rasengan248]

@Bnthmypprkut thats will swan

[Rasengan248]

@MaryJane1011 yes thats will swan

[RobxWhitechapel]

@MaryJane1011 Yeah it is! he did screaming and rap :)

[BigSloan413]

@MaryJane1011 Yes that is Will.

[Iluvhynas]

Maybe now that its on youtube my friends will believe that its POWDER to the people not power :P

[stroker220]

Uh.. Im pretty sure its Power To The People.. :P Not Powder.. But okay :) Still Love Dance Gavin Dance.

[smoshadam]

@stroker220 it's powder...

[ClashOfHead]

@stroker220 its a pun, because powder is the basically the fuel of guns. It's implying that everyone should have a gun or something. When normally its Power to the People. Hope that makes sense haha

[ThoughtlessCloud]

@ClashOfHead tbh I think it's meant to be about cocaine.

[ClashOfHead]

@ThoughtlessCloud lol i never thought about that but your probably right

[FADINGBULLET]

@ThoughtlessCloud i think its gun powder actually haha but yours works too i guess

[KingReptar15]

@ThoughtlessCloud I read its about cocain :P

[AndyAngelZ]

@ThoughtlessCloud LMAO its just like yea... fuck wat u said , i think hes talking bout cocain

[vTsmple]

@ClashOfHead your the only one thats right. ;P

[vTsmple]

@ClashOfHead had it been jonny that wrote this i would of believed it meant cocaine lol :P

[ClashOfHead]

@vTsmple haha yea

[chickenchaos29]

DTBM is awesome and prob DTBMII will be just as good if not better but i still have respect for death star and happiness lp's.

[josharosathrowdown]
