  • Devin enters in the underrated genious hall of fame of all the times, which there is patton, spruance, zappaa, steven wilson among others

  • Magic. This song encompasses everything in the universe.

  • Get stoned throw on headphones cut the lights and imagine your life and all those in it like a video playing at your funeral wake!!!!

  • magic song.. o.O

  • This is one of only five songs that have made me cry.

  • I loved the rain before, but now I wanna marry it and have a thousand lifetimes with it

  • Devin and his operatic vibrato at its most powefull. This guy could be an opera singer (is?) :)

  • i want this as my first wedding dance...this or deep peace...is that too depressing though?

  • @bowlofmash It is most certainly not too depressing. Good luck.

  • @dEf1l3rx

    Thanks!!! I actually asked devy twice if he would play at my wedding and he said he was too busy, which is understandable but still rubbish.....it would be so awesome to have the man himself as our very own wedding singer doing this live...

  • @bowlofmash pfft, yes.

  • Every person in the world needs to hear this! I understand this wouldn't be a song for everyone, but everyone should listen to this at least once. Maybe then Devy would get the recognition he deserves!

  • @metaleer1979x he does have recognition, but it's only in the metal/rock/industrial scene. I met the guitarist from Life Of Agony years ago. Told him how I was impressed with how well they pulled off their album sound, live. Told him Devin's the only artist I knew (at that point) that could do that. I could tell he was shocked by the comparison. Told me that was one of the greatest compliments any fan has ever given him.

  • STRONGLY UNDERRATED masterpiece!!! I have no words...

  • deze song gaat door merg en been een van de songs die die altijd blijven bestaan

  • This is the soundtrack that played when Devin created the world in 7 days

  • Comment removed

  • One of the greatest and most emotional songs ever. A huge musical climax and one of Devins greatest Vocal performances of his career.

  • geniaal zo geniaal... kippenvel

  • I think Devin Townsend is very hit and miss. However, this is a major "hit." One of the best songs ever for if I am in a strange mood and want a "trance" sounding song.

  • 5 people are contributing to the death of music

  • Devin is simply one of the most talented people in music today. This song is really one of his best, has been since Biomech was released. It's pretty much his "Echoes", I think. 

  • Five people eat children

  • Is this why yanks hate canadians? I don't blame blame them.

  • This is pure Art. Not just music ... I'm a metal fan, of course, but I listen to some other styles of music (not as much as I'd want to though)... and I think Devin Townsend is one of the greatest artists in music.

  • Don't die on me Don't go away When I need you here In my need.....

  • I've listened to this a billion times the past two weeks. Can't get it out of my brain.

  • Blows my mind every time I hear it.

  • Am I right when I say this is one of best songs ever created?

  • @KeitsiMusic You know you're right! :)

  • @ugyubugyu no nirvana never had the same production quality as this ;)

  • @KeitsiMusic Yes, you are. But Dev is one of the best musicians on this planet.

  • @KeitsiMusic YES!!!

  • my lobe has exploded due to this mind grenade!!!!!!

  • @Tj85016 OW! You hit me with a fragment of your mind. Watch that collateral mind damage of yours!

  • Most powerful song ever heard.

  • wtf I just saw the future

  • That is good stuff

  • Canadians can add great music on top of their hockey and health care, the little buggers. also a big fan of Jeff Waters of Annihilator, who is from Canada :D

  • This the kiddie's think lil waynes "i feel like dying" is trippy and musical...psh...fucking kiddie's...

  • @megaterra69 This shit is off the fucking hook!

  • this shit is like...spacey man...

  • why no one can make something as good as this now? its fucking sad

  • @fuclcjewtube He can still do it.

  • hell yeah 

  • Impressive !

  • This is such a fantastic song. The album arrived yesterday morning and I this is standout track for me. I think his vocals sound absolutely fucking brilliant, like a reincarnation of Dio or something, especially on the screamy bit at the climax, anyone who has heard Stargazer by Rainbow will know what I am talking about I think.

  • Powerful stuff

  • Listened to this as new years came in, with the vocal climax and hundreds of fireworks going off that I could see on top of this big hill. Awesome.

  • Dark night, this song, vol.MAX in big stereo's --> orgasm/heaven.

  • @RoisinT2 Hahah that is funny dude, I did the exact same thing few weeks ago! Rolled up one took a walk one night, listened to Bastard then let it play through to this! Oh my was it immense! Such a powerful song!

    Peace

  • @bovinemarauder

    Great, i knew i wasn't alone on that one.. that is how this masterpiece beyond anything, is meant to listen. IMO

    keep rolling

  • am choking for a shite

  • Those vocals at 8:33 are amazing!

  • 7:25-9:00

    Constant goosebumps.

  • I love it! Hope Devin and his band will list it on a playlist in Vienna. :|

  • Is that how his voice really sound at the end, with the long high note, or did he use some kind of equipment to amplify the echo of it?

    I'm going to check if he has done an live performance and if it sounds the same.

    Not to discredit his musical talent. Simply asking, and am curious.

  • @DOE671 im sure he's added effects to his voice. i can here sum reverb and stuff. but if u ever watch his live videos, his voice is just excellent and sooooooo powerful. so im sure that was like, all him. really wouldn't doubt it

  • @DOE671 Hey bro, I don't think Devy has done The Death of Music live before and he probably won't...unfortunately. He does use effects but their is only so much you can do to a voice. It sounds like Devin to me, he has an outstanding voice! This song cannot be explained by words, it takes a few listens but oh my is it powerful! Peace

  • this song sucks ... when it ends, lol.. 12 minutes were never so short !

    this is probably my favourite song ever, the vocals are soo emotional

  • @Alhambrattp Are you fucking nuts?

  • @GuitaristJoel

    no, are you deaf?

  • amazing song,amazing song,amazing song..i don't know what more to say..this song is a testament of the soul expressed in an intensity that is something i've never heard..

  • Uff. I'm totally surprised because I only knew SYL. I did not know Devin is so talented. Amazing.

  • Love this song, reminds me of burn by the cure, has that atmospheric feel to it, fuckin immense.

  • Who would win in a cage match- Lemmy, Devin Townsend, or Dio?

    (Trick question: They're the same person.)

  • @invertedchords Hey man, can you explain? I don't understand what subliminal messages you are talking about? Cheers bud

  • @bovinemarauder playing samples, quoting other well-known subliminal messages, in one song he quotes "spiring clean for the may queen" (stairway to heaven), always sounds like talking in the background. Go fuck a pig; is what Devin said to me through the power of love (for more on this refer to Huey Lewis).

    As you know, music that has subliminal messages are usually words recorded backwords, or worded so that they are intelligible when played backwards. The fact that Devin is somewhere, or...

  • Comment removed

  • @invertedchords I see what your talking about, he always has that kind of stuff in his music, a lot of the time it is hard to understand what the samples and talking in the background is, I will look into them he's an interesting dude.

    Your post got cut off but I know what you mean, his kind of subliminal is different than what I usually would think of the term with funny samples etc, but yet again I may not have conciously heard them....

  • @invertedchords lol shut the fuck up man

  • Kinda fruity but I like it. We all have a fruity song that we like xD

  • The 2 people that disliked this video were on a mad asid trip and were probably half blind and clicked dislike.

  • I most enjoy this song when listening to it while lying in bed at nights without anything disturbing. The "video" that comes up in my mind is so unbelievable and fantastic that I can only call this song "my personal audio drug"!

  • People clearly don't give Canadians enough credit.

    

  • @Scepticide Rush is my favorite band!!!!

  • @Scepticide look at justin bieber. he always gets what he deserves. tons of bulling and cyberbulling.

  • I think this is really exiting, you can hear his ambientinfluences but still he make it into a song and make it fit in on a more metalbased album!

  • This song can take me to my deepest dreams. When it ends and i came back to reality it really sucks.

  • @cocozaococozao123 You can run from the reality, but you can't hide from it ;)

  • I heard this track for the first time a few weeks ago, this song just got me, I just had a little cry. I just thought about my mother all thought the song. This song is just beautiful.

  • If music died and suddenly vanished, no matter what the human brain will always create some kind of music in our minds for as long as we live! Music will never die!!

  • Ocean Machine is without a doubt Devy's best "solo" effort.

  • @LicoriceLain I so agree with that statement!

  • @savinisbitch Right on, right on. Ziltoid is a close second for me, but with tracks like and "Voices in the Fan" and "Seventh Wave", there is just no competition.

  • 2112 part II

  • what a trip ! Mmmm

  • Ocean Machine: Biomech is the best album ever.

  • Fucking amazing song.

  • 0:52 when he comes in there it allways give me chills! Really emotional without being wimpy! The soundscape is just unreal and how refreshing hearing him using his talent for making ambient music and turning it into a song, 5/5 from here!

  • musica travolgi la mia anima e trasportala dove splende sempre il sole....

  • Damn! Can't make it louder... It just makes me want to make it even louder. And this version is louder than CD one.

    Powerful song

  • OMFG...

  • his vocals at 8:36 gives me chills

    the fact he can change emotions so fluidly and take the listener on an epic journey is beyond talent

    absolutely amazing

  • Thank you for showing me Paraplux here that I knew! It is simply sublime and relaxing; A wonder more about Earth

  • try singing along to this playing at full volume when ur all alone and when the sun is rising... im in tears man :')

  • Devin Makes me relax.. with having epilepsy i find listing to him puts me in fucking kick ass peace of mind!!

  • amazing amazing geniaal!!!!!

  • its raining here.and this music haunts my halls...

    its like entering to anther dimension

  • we better take dna samples of devin townsend

    and create a legion of devin townsend musician..to replace the shit that we call musician these days

    the world would be a better place..damn right!

    devin for president!

    no! fuck noh! devin for god! yeah.hell yeah!

  • @theghostparticle He already is God, man.

  • This version sounds 10,000 times better than mine! :/ Where could I find this one?

  • Soundscaping rocks

  • chills 8:20

  • eargasm

  • i try to find words for this masterpiece..O.O

    Unfuckingbelieveable!!

    thank u Devin :)

  • this song surrounds me with a post apocalyptic atmospheric feeling, its so immense.

  • This song takes me to the beginning of the universe and back.

  • so i didnt like this that much. why not?

  • All i know is that when a song gives you goosebumps for it's 12 minute duration.... the song is incredible. He looks way more badass without the skullet now that he's got a shaved head.

  • i know it doesnt seem like it, but this is certainly an epic closer to the ocean:biomech album....if you listen really closely it sounds as if dsevin is finding new ways to promote his musical talent...and when he sings....well that another story entirely:D

  • *Speechless*

  • This is one of the most amazing and powerful songs Ive ever heard... I always used to ignore it because it started off slow... but wow... this is one of my favorites Devin has ever done.

  • Comment removed

  • This song to me i could cry :)

  • OMG

  • This is a masterpiece

  • Does anyone know where they're walking at the end? Some sort of boardwalk or harbour?

  • Somewhere in Japan I believe

  • beats the piss outta dream theatre

  • No need to compare.

  • holy shit, I've gotta get some of these albums. Can only imagine what it would sound like on a proper sound system.

  • SUCH AN UNDERRATED ARTIST!!!!! Amazing piece of emotion here

  • Devin has more musical talent in his Skullet than most "artists" that the record companies hype these days.

  • @RiderAndKallen It's not hard to pull that off... But Devin doesn't pull that off... He takes that concept and fucking destroys it...

    Devin > God

  • @Irish0400

    All these Devin > God comments are stupid.

    God is the creater of music. How can you even compare Devin to God when the source comes from God. If Devin is this good then you haven't even hear

    the likes of what God can create? These are truly foolish statements.

    If your not an believer of God. I don't really care. I won't be having an debate on

    whether he is or isn't. Just standing up for my God.

    Devin is great. This song is beautiful. One of the best i ever heard.

  • @DOE671 I am not religious, but dude... That was a joke... No need to take all this shit seriously...

    No, I personally don't think god (real or not) can be given credit for everything... That's like having a kid and taking credit for him/her becoming a film star... It's asinine...

    But once again, it was a joke... If you really didn't care about whether or not I believed in god, I personally don't feel you would have brought it up...

    But yes, nonetheless, excellent song...

  • Ok. What you think is noted, and accepted, as your belief. I respect it. That would explain why you made that comment. Which I now know what you believe.

    It is an beatiful song. And such an song can make you think its godlike. In that sense i feel what your saying. Because it is. If you were joking so be it. I do speak my mind whenever I so choose despite consequences. But out of respect for you, and of your desire. It is done unto you as you have requested. No more God talk.

  • @DOE671 Ok... I was just saying that it was a joke not meant to be taken seriously...

    And out of respect for you and your beliefs, as I wouldn't hate you for something small, I will keep all talk regarding religion to myself as well... Have a good day, nonetheless...

  • @Irish0400

    Thanks. Appreciate that. Our respect for one another is as beautiful as this song.

  • @DOE671 Hey... Live and let live, as they say...

  • @DOE671 I am not religious, but dude... That was a joke... No need to take all this shit seriously...

    No, I personally don't think god (real or not) can be given credit for everything... That's like having a kid and taking credit for him/her becoming a film star... It's asinine...

    But once again, it was a joke... If you really didn't care about whether or not I believed in god, I personally don't feel you would have brought it up...

    But yes, nonetheless, excellent song...

  • @DOE671 keep your religion to yourself ok

  • @RiderAndKallen he can never be understood by most of the people who like mtv music,this is the problem,his music attracts people with a sensitivity that is more accurate...he is a genius

  • This song is a tribute to the soul of music.

  • Just got this album today (along with Ki and Addicted). Such an amazing song. Probably the most emotional sounding song I've heard from the Dev.

  • iv been listening to this guy for about a year now and i still cant get over how amazing he is. each new album and song has something different yet still absolutely perfect in its own way.

  • The death of music. the song alone captures the meaning of the title. the starts song is at such a basic beat....slow..and with Interwoven sounds and voices in the mix behind it. the song alone gives the feeling that Music, if it were something organism like...is at a struggle to live...on its last breathes before Decaying.

  • great song song ,but what are the lyrics actually about? pls respond if u know..

  • Hihetetlen ez a zene..

    Ilyet készíteni... Nincsenek rá szavak.

    Thank you Devin.

  • A must-listen to budding young metalheads everywhere.

  • the emotional power in this song is fucking ridiculous think about whats behind the music and the microphone.

  • @ledoosh True! all the sound in it!! It's just MUSICAL!!!

  • one of greatest moments in music history...incredible song

  • It's one of his best. How could you even think that?

  • Lol if this song sucks to you.. then how the helllllllllllllllllllll are you a BIG devin fan.. a big devin fan would love whatever he makes.. wether its pop, jazz or even blues

  • @sybow If you were a big Devin fan, why would you be such a mindless tool to automatically enjoy everything he puts out. What if he randomly made an album like....oh I don't know, Kanye West crap? (not saying he would)

    Would you enjoy it just because it had Devin's name on it?

  • @PorcupineFloyd68 Cause the energy of devin is in it. If he would make kanye west crap it would own all hiphop and rap instantly.

  • @sybow Ok, you're not exactly getting it. Let's be hypothetical for a second.

    Devin decides to make an album, and it is absolute crap. Let's ignore your ideas of his energy and just say that the album is worse than Hannah Montana. Would you enjoy it just because it still had his name on it? Hopefully not.

    You can be a big fan of someone, still use your brain while listening to their music, and find things you don't like. Instead of mindlessly enjoying everything -

    That's what Disney fans do.

  • @PorcupineFloyd68 Nope I wont. But devin cant make such music so its obvious I didn't get it like that =]

  • @sybow lol dude if you only knew how rediculas you sound yeah totally if devin came out with teletuby elevator music i would be his # 1 fan!

  • @TheUyouWant2be But he wouldn't make that kind of music ;)

  • @sybow just sayin and its not the artist you should be obsessed or in love with its the music that counts the artist is a regular human being just like you and me i hate it when people are like " oh i wonder what john travolta is eating for dinner " or " hey did you know amy lee uses mary kay make up"! WOW WHO FUCKING CARES lol....

  • @Morganzo7 too bad

  • Hypnotising... it's like a lullaby relating our deepest sorrows. Great! i love Devin!

  • great song one of the best musicians!

  • this is fucking amazing

  • devin townsend is fucking brilliant. His music has so many dimensions and so much depth. SO much respect for this man!

  • Comment removed

  • speechless... This brings so much emotions..

    Devin is a genius!

  • LMFAO

  • Cette musique me penser au film "le grand bleu" et en l'ecoutant je ne peut m'enpecher de revoir des scène du film dans ma tête. Magnifique.
