Devin Townsend Project - Feather (edit)

[MrNexus1st]

Got to see Devin play with DTP at the Adelaide edition of the Soundwave festival, have also seen him play previously with Strapping Young Lad. This man is a complete and utter music prodigy. The DTP performance was unbelievable... For someone to sing pitch perfectly then flawlessly roar into his trademark wall of sound scream, plus the music composition and arrangement, not to mention the fact that he really doesn't take himself too seriously at all. He is easily one of the greatest and influen

[weepingthunder]

I think this is the guy who sang on the Steve Vai sex and religion album correct me if im wrong. I don't own any of his stuff but I look forward to seing him at the soundwave festival in two days.

I think you have a new fan Devin if your good on Sunday I promise to buy half your albums.

[TheArrival66]

You can't be in anything but a good mood after listening to this song.

[JohnPetrucci251]

Nikki Minaj's Stupid Hoe is way better than this shit

[7SethMurrant7]

@JohnPetrucci251 Obvious troll is obvious.

[JohnPetrucci251]

@7SethMurrant7 lol. I just recently listened to stupid hoe...how the fuck is that even music? what has this world fucking come to

[7SethMurrant7]

@JohnPetrucci251 I don't know man. People are getting dumber and dumber, and superficial as all fuck. Hehe, the funniest part about your comment is the username attached to it. JP IS LORD!

[Xenodemic]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Devin Townsend is a genius. I think people should read the lyrics to this album, you might think it can't get better than such beautiful music but the lyrics mean something and they add so much depth. This song is about Devin's young daughter as far as I know.

Could this music be sacred?

[HurricaneXR]

Weird to think this is the same guy who did songs like Wrong Side and Love?. Great great musician!

[AdventOctober]

Devin just reminded that people still put soul in music

[mrghostnzl]

Dont think anyone has mentioned the sick bass that dev plays on Ghost.

[mrghostnzl]

Who is the second male singer?

[Hamgammy]

Sounds like when September Ends by Green Day.

[JamesENGL]

Is it me or is 3 minutes in Dan Tompkins singing?

[cameronjm79]

@JamesENGL Thats funny cuz I always think of Devin when I hear dan sing

[HeliosFramework]

Do you fuckers get the signifigance of the art? It's a leaf, obviously, busting far into the distance, yet the shadow of the DTP only casts closely, creating a weird-ass illusion... Or am I just really stoned and enjoying this tune!? lol. Either way, DT is a master of music!

[majorritalin]

Listen to this while having rainymood open in another tab. It's interesting.

[rodrigojoseunb]

@majorritalin Yeah it is! But in my case it's really raining. :)

[Kam69Infernal]

This hole album is just like a Ki number 2 to me :) which is just awesome.

[Filth2113]

Can you send me the tracklist to the thinking mans music comp?

[TMF58]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard

[samuelc93]

@cfaeslehc1905 Sounds like an oboe or something

[artcarsnguitars]

New Westminster \ Burnaby pride !m!

[CareyPortnoyBeauford]

why is there a picture of lord voldermort from harry potter in the sugguestion box?? lol i actually did notice the resemblance...

[meshugeah]

i just got the last two cds *ECSTASY* peace to you

[Need2FlyPK]

shows you how powerful this song is. it put my gfs friends baby to sleep in a matter seconds

[dex1lsp]

The end of the full version is SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL. It makes me tingle all over, every time.

[Master0fillusion]

Beautiful. Devin has such a broad musical range, I mean, this was coupled together with Deconstruction; how much of a juxtaposition can you get? a very talented man. That's my 2 cents :)

[Juzman]

One of the most moving songs I've heard... Dev can do it all.

[hereinthelightofday]

The seven people who thumbs downed this song are fucking lame! All 7 of you! :)

[CareyPortnoyBeauford]

im guessing the couple dislikes are hardcore strapping young lad fans who only listen to metal. come on now! we all know devin is more creative than to just play one genre.

[Eviloos]

@CareyPortnoyBeauford

I don't think creative is quite the word here.. More like translating.

[CareyPortnoyBeauford]

this is my fav song off the album so far

[joxomoxo]

How the fuck can you dislike this!?

[AnnatarYoung]

Deconstruction and Ghost, can't wait to get 'em both once I get paid!

[assphinktersaiswhat]

@AnnatarYoung get the Calm And The Storm. its the double cd version u get 4 tracks from Ghost 2 and the lyrics for Ghost :3

[ocosta69]

and don't forget to buy the CD... Thumbs up don't help Dev to buy coffee.

[martin846]

the beginning is so beautiful

[rippemies]

Is he singing in japanese in the beginning?

[lidwiehn]

Ki is one of my top 10 albums ever, and I already know I'm gonna be in love with Ghost.

Now let's check out a song from Deconstruction....

[XtalDelphium]

Beautiful

[thrashiest]

music doesn't get more beautiful than this

[dying8]

yea...I am totally ok with Devin writing more along these lines...this is gorgeous

[DukeTwicep]

Devin Townsend is a genius and a lovely person, and I just bought all 4 cds and a bunch of other stuff from him, I hope my humble contribution helps him on the way :).

[WATERVLOG]

Luvz it!!!

[Fizzwut]

This entire album is beautiful.

[MatthewStout]

I hope all humanity ends at once so I don't have to mourn Devin's death, if he's not immortal.

[makila666]

Talking about Rebecca Black and Justin bieber in every video that has no relation to them just makes them more popular. So lets just discuss devin and the song shall we? lol

[MuikuliWander]

@makila666 You are doing it wrong!

An absolutely beautiful song. Can't fault it.

[makila666]

@MuikuliWander Ofc buddy! It's beautiful. Just saying that I'm sick of hearing about them two fags on every video lol!

Long live dev! Peace!

[della414]

@makila666 who is Rebecca Black?

[makila666]

@della414 That's the spirit!

[Snapsa100]

jizz is like, all over the place

[Mithologian]

This will play at my wedding. I dont care about the brides musical taste.

[Kuiss]

C'est magnifique !!!

[trottoarbonden]

Devin T is god !!!

[KIBQUE]

it seems 7 people dont like le video

[nifty1152]

Where is the "Flag as genius" button?

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

@nifty1152 Hahaha! That's something new. Love that. And I expect to read it again somewhere else by this coming weekend.

[nifty1152]

Where is the "Flag as genius" button?

[broders13]

Devin just knows how to make great music, I think his last few albums have really reiterated why I love his work

[Vrlle]

Never heard of Rebecca Black and never saw so many dislikes :)

[CoAAC]

People listen to Rebecca Black over Mr.Devy because how in the hell can you sing alongside Devy in the car and not ruin his song?

[hoesive]

the lyrics for this song is pure awesomeness

[boogiensarah]

This is Beautiful. Although thats a given, i just thought i had to say that, Devin Townsend you are a genius sir

[trottoarbonden]

@AstraVex I'm on, lets leave this town ASAP :-)

[Imperialmusicfan]

Beautiful song, almost brings tears to my eyes...perfect for a walk in nature somewhere...

[kuroyama1]

my god. ITS BEAUTIFUL!

[Seniuk27]

I'm as metal as they come and I think this song is beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye. Can't wait to see him this summer.

[dragondevel5]

@Seniuk27 You sir, are a good man.

[Gianibanez87]

love this track

[FishboneHUN]

Hey, maybe Rebecca Black likes Devin's music. I wouldn't be surprised, this song is beautiful.

[Zemard]

Is the woman voice of this album Anneke?

Anyone knows?

[dontreadthis441]

@Zemard nope

[LdyNightAngel]

I'm absolutely head over heels in love with this song!!! Devy has done it again! 8^) Seriously, this dude owns...

[heethen1]

This is going to be like antidote to all that madness of Decon. I'm definitely buying those two together.

[wheredarknessislight]

Saw this on another video of Feather.. 'A composition that would make Beethoven cry out of joy.'

[MrJuuberi]

This is one of the best songs all time. Maybe the best by Devin. Singing is freaking awesome in this track

[MetalMikeCass]

Your god...

This track is phenomenal!

[MetalMikeCass]

My god...

This track is phenomenal!

[deegz01]

Rebecca black is there cos its a featured video, it pops up on all sorts of searches/videos. Its youtubes fault.

[ikilledsifodyas]

Anyway salmacis81, I was just giving you a bad time. Didn't occur to me you weren't American (duh!!!), sorry.

We are all Devy fans here, so lets stay focused on our true enemy - The talentless Miss Black and that horrid (oh so horrid) song of hers.

Anyway, Ghost/Deconstruction preorders have started at cmdistro.com, insideoutshop.de, & bandstores.co.uk. Everyone needs to buy them and support Devin.

[mrghostnzl]

@ikilledsifodyas We dont have an enemy.

[vonPickles]

hahaha...i don't even know, or even care who the heck Rebecca Black is...

[salmacis81]

There are seven Rebecca Black's fans!

[ikilledsifodyas]

@salmacis81

In the world? That number seems a little high.

[salmacis81]

@ikilledsifodyas

I mean, the people who dislikes this post (or song).

[ikilledsifodyas]

@salmacis81

Oh, ok.

P.S. You might check the batteries in your sarcasm detector when you get a chance. ;)

[anonymous564]

@ikilledsifodyas Sarcasm detector huh?  :P

[salmacis81]

@ikilledsifodyas

Because of I'm not an English speaker, you've got to know I use to miss some things. Anyway, I thing you should to put some batteries to your sacarsm creator to find some new and originals comments too ;).

[ikilledsifodyas]

@salmacis81

Oh come on now, sarcasm is an international language that everyone can speak.

[salmacis81]

It really deserves to be bought! A great quality piece of work!

[Tlaloknecro13]

Someone here is going to tell that ghost will be a fucking freaky masterpiece? Cause I'll be agree with him =D

[Shaitan111]

ive been working all night and morning, its now 6 am and the birds outside have started to sing. As a final gesture and an homage to life, I just put this song on, and it makes the world so much more beautiful

[ytdevindean]

I can't be sure but i think dev may see deconstruction and ghost as some kind of defining statement.One aspect of his music that has always impressed me is his ability to show different emotions in a very extreme form.Releasing two completely opposite albums simultaneously will hopefully end the divide between some fans who only like one or the other.If feather is anything to go by then ghost could well be a classic record.Its one of the most beautiful and brilliant songs he's ever written.

[guilbartt3006]

rebecca destroy all

[duffeknol]

Hopefully Ghost will make me forget about most of Deconstruction when it comes out.

[CrushedAria]

@duffeknol

Hopefully Ghost will make me forget everything he's done since Synchestra and holy shit if this song is any indication of how Ghost will sound as a whole then I believe it just might!

[min7b20billion]

I'm going to be driving in my car, windows down, sunroof open and this album turned way up. This summer's gunna be awesome

[ViperRob42]

I want to live in the world where Devin Townsend gets 132 million views and Rebecca Black gets 35

[EVILWS666]

@ViperRob42 I don't wanna live in that world. Instead we have our own private Devin club. :D

[predben]

@EVILWS666 Devin definitely deserves more attention and cash!

[EVILWS666]

@predben That I agree with 100%

[breeman241]

@ViperRob42 Take a look at Devin Townsend's Last.fm pages and Rebecca's Last FM.

Devin Townsend (incl. band + project) total: 12,376,928

Strapping Young lad total: 7,835,617

DEV TOTAL: 20,212,545 (and just think about all the people who listen to/have listened to Dev but just weren't scrobbling)

Rebecca Black: 192,784

[WebCamCartmell]

@breeman241 12 year olds are too young to have Last.fm, so Rebecca's numbers would be lower. But lets say for the purpose of this argument that they do have it, just nobody listens to her.

[Maddolis]

@ViperRob42 Such utopias only exist in that of fiction literature.

[Metaalhoofdje123]

@ViperRob42 I don't. I like how good music is exclusive to people who actually appreciate it.

[Pager1991]

@ViperRob42 Theoretically, there are infinite galaxies, so there is a world like that.

[TheOvermaster]

@Pager1991 taking Sheldon's view are we? Well - I don't believe in the many-worlds theory - infinite does NOT exist

[Pager1991]

@TheOvermaster Not going to get into an argument over this video, but no one really cares what you think, and there is also more proof in infinity than other theories.

[malebitch92]

@ViperRob42 who is rebecca black? :D

[pinkypinkerton83]

double post, sorry

[pinkypinkerton83]

@nhtp7 thank you so much for this, in between work and kids i had forgot about my HevyDevy time!

[pinkypinkerton83]

@nhtp thank you so much, there has been so much time in between me checking on updates from Dev himself that i had almost completely forgot that it was about to hit the fan

[TheBeastOfBusco]

How anyone could actually get angry at another person in the comment section while listening to this song is beyond me.

[BubonicCraig]

Devin Townsend; the best sneak preview to heaven you will ever get.

[Appollojam]

@BubonicCraig So if this song from heaven, whats from hell Ziltoid the omnsient :P 

[shuksnet]

i want that picture in hd, where is it from?

[bawzonyajawz]

@shuksnet It's the slipcase cover art for Ghost.

[bugasmike]

fucking beautiful. cant wait for the albums

[MrZRecords]

BEAUTY FULL

[kuroyama1]

my ears are in heaven. Where can i get this damn compilation! i've looked all over online!

[sunkloto85]

Who are the 7 assholes who disliked this? Punch yourself in the throat now.

[earworm]

I don't know how devin puts out so much great music, i mean everything is pretty much amazing all of the time and its not like a def leppard album where you have to wait 10 years before the next one comes out. So much amazing music in this guys head, just crazy.

[jloo222]

@earworm cuz he truly is a genius. really, he is. his mind is so musically superior to his peers it isn't funny.

[glui2001]

Great song...as I would expect from anything DT does

[Zando24]

Devin Townsend is so diverse, that's why I love his work so much. It's so hard to imagine that the same guy who sings this song also sang Shitstorm, Wrong Side, Relentless, etc. Those songs were so brutal, and these are just...the complete opposite, but every bit as good

[CyanideSovereign]

Oh that IS Anneke, she is on Ghost as well. Thought that voice sounded familiar!

[RandomJackOfDoom]

@CyanideSovereign On one of the videos, he says that the vocals are done by Katrina someone...

[CyanideSovereign]

@RandomJackOfDoom Yea realised I was wrong not long after posting. I was reading HevyDevy forum, and I got the wrong picture somehow...

[Nightschism]

I enjoy the fact that, here, even when disagreeing, people are so pleasant with one another :)

[petehawthorneuk]

Beautiful as always, brings you to the egde of tears so easily

[stargazer4001]

I love all of dev's music. This is no exception. I love cliche's when they are used properly so I love the flute in this song.

[LessthanJake14]

The opening reminds me of Ih-Ah!, in fact it sounds like some of the progressions are the same.

[wheredarknessislight]

I like this.. I think that a musician needs to be diverse in his music, and Devin is a god among musicians...

He loves his art... So everything is great..

[ChrisXDumbass]

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I like his cheesy rock stuff.

He is amazing, no matter what music he makes, but then again, that's just my opinion.

[Vynredner]

To the Nine Hells with the lot of you who cannot aprpeciate music for the expression it is, regardless of what instruments are used, how it is performed, arranged and composed. Metal is great, but Devin Townsend is greater.

So let's just sit back, open up and allow the flow of music into your soul.

[Seligsuper]

This song is excellent. Reminds me of my old days, falling asleep to the Barenaked Ladies' album "Are Me"...

Such a nice relaxing song.

[beerzelbub]

this mans music is always awesome.It is what it is.I never have expectations because from DTB,SYL,Punky bruester,steve vai,DTP.ocean machine to HUMMER.Not a shit song among them.dont ask me why.

[CyanideSovereign]

@beerzelbub Why not?

[StevieCybernetik010]

Beauty is something that is hard to truly capture perfectly. Devin has achieved this task with this song. Whatever else this album will hold has got to be nothing less of a spectacle.

[dex1lsp]

I'm gonna see him on June 25th (5 days after the release) at Slim's. I reeeeeeally hope he performs this song. I do expect him to. OMFG I'm so frikin excited about this concert!! I've seen him twice before, and both times were absolutely FANTASTIC, a couple of the best live performances I have ever seen by anyone! By the way, I LOVED the way he performed "Supercrush!" So cool! :-)

[GTPpowerstroke]

The 7 people that disliked this song, hate life.

[doobsterman]

I lose it whenever I listen to this song - but in a good way.

Never have I listened to music that has made me feel like i'm just sitting on the precipice of natural beauty overlooking a vast valley where instantaneously you come to this stark realization: everything you feel to be wrong in your life doesn't matter - not even because other people have it worse than you - but because at least you're _living_.

[Zach3750]

i like the stuff devin does towards the ending more, but this album is going to be amazing.

[Opterionianiaco]

Why is Rebecca Black the top link for this video?

[nhtp7]

@Opterionianiaco Haha, I have no freakin' idea! That really is an awful piece of music right there....

[rageroses]

@nhtp7 ure dos dude

[rageroses]

@nhtp7 ure dos dude



[nhtp7]

@rageroses I'll.... take that as a compliment??

[gogerychwyrndrobwll]

@nhtp7 dos is Scottish slang for "awesome". And I agree: right on!

[Jammium]

@gogerychwyrndrobwll Really? I'm Scottish and I have never heard anyone say it before in my life.

[gogerychwyrndrobwll]

@Jammium at least a friend I have from Perth used to say it all the time! Maybe it's more Perth slang than Scottish slang :)

[GTPpowerstroke]

@Opterionianiaco Glad someone else is having this problem!

[dustatwood]

@Opterionianiaco Search youtube: Rebecca Black Friday Brocks Dub

That version would be right up Devin's alley!

[Gozzer02]

@Opterionianiaco I don't know, But maybe because there are 7 people who are fans of Rebecca black :P

[christorb]

@Opterionianiaco

Ying and Yang? Gotta counterbalance the beauty of Devy's song with the rotten tripe of Rebecca Black?

[keviwevi93]

@christorb i like to think that he is his own yin and yang

[narrowlightbulb]

@Opterionianiaco Cause their music are very similiar

[Zemard]

@Opterionianiaco

I'd say it should be Rebecca Black's video who should suggest Heavy Devy (so the opposite way). In that way, the suggestion would bring people to understand what is the essence of music with Devin!

[escaflowne3]

i was hoping this would be a more ambient album. i prefer the part after 5:00...not really digging the more rock'ish parts they sound kind of cheesy

[nhtp7]

@escaflowne3 I see what you mean. Initially, I was also hoping for something more like "Hummer", and the first 'leak', Drench, really impressed me. However, I also really enjoy Feather, since Dev somehow manages to pull of something as cheasy as a flute, without making it sound stupid. I actually think that the album will be very varied, but hey, I know nothing :-)
