Thrice - Daedalus

[ryanderekdalos]

One of my favorite bands. Everybody can write awesome stuff. Trendy, hits, audience appealing, radio friendly, blah blah... but only a handful of bands can journey across the musical spectrum like Thrice.

[OhHiMeMatt]

Dustin has an awesome voice.

[1androo2]

this is the first song i thought of listening to when my cousin died...  pretty damn good song

[1androo2]

actually it's kinda weird, i had this song in my library for a year or two and never paid attention to it. One day i was playing on the computer and i was like 'wow, that's a good song.' so i listened to it for a few weeks, it made my playlist cut. then about 2 months later my cousin died and i realized why i liked this song. It's a long story.. basically i had premonitions of his death and i ignored the signs. there was even a sign that i literally saw and i ignored it. 2 days before his death.

[Tdop3guy]

@1androo2 lol. that was fucking hilarious

[1androo2]

@Tdop3guy lol

[hdez92]

SMOKEOUT 2012

[StormaBras]

This my friends... is fucking music! just awesome :')

[OhHiMeMatt]

Thrice is so amazing, they write songs about EVERYTHING. And every song has so much passion. That passion at the end, jesus christ.

[baseballbuckbuck]

i cried...



[BDKMusick]

I challenge you, nay, I DARE you to find a more passionate and beautiful performance of anything at all on the internet. Seriously.

[neji021]

@BDKMusick peace on earth by U2 right after 9/11 while rolling the names of everyone who died behind the performance was incredible, but this is amazing too

[TheModestMuso]

@BDKMusick Mumford and Sons.

[deftonesfan81]

WOW!!!...never heard of them but now that i have there awesome!!!

[dannynatmusic]

@deftonesfan81 I envy you! You can now discover one of the richest discographys in all music. 

[misscottencandie]

intense



[gabegambino]

I don't think Alchemy Index can ever be surpassed

[BtArocks3133]

@gabegambino I wouldn't say it needs to be surpassed. I love all of thrice's music for very different reasons. They bring something new to the table with each record, and I can appreciate the elements of their music in different ways. Apples and oranges.

[nhadley88]

God damn it DUSTIN YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING BAD ASS!!!!!!!

[fireinthewhole]

This is probably the most beautiful song Thrice has, and it is definitely in my Thrice top 5. Dustin's emotion during the "Oh Goooooooood" part gets me every time.

[joeydoit1423]

i really love the snare and tom sound in this! great song!

[LemonMerigueTie]

cant fake passion like that

[CasillasM2112]

@LemonMerigueTie It gives me chills seeing DK sing like that. Those are not hollow lyrics.

[666Meshuggah]

Amazing stuff by a band who really push the envelope

[dragonfire939]

such emotion....

[my28special]

Amin this is who you are, who I knew, I wish I still do! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!

[linkFOUR4]

awesomely epic@11:40AM



[thistimeitswar]

No matter how many times I hear this song, the end section (4:08) gives me goosebumps every single time.

[saltydalty123]

i just had sex with myself

[mattdolan]

Best thrice performance I've seen

[envy2330]

terriffic permorfance and of course, best lyrics EVER!!

[letsblowthisup]

4.58 - absolutely nailed it

[thelennmeister]

Ed's bassline at 3:30 = BONER

[ebusbani91]

great ostinato in this song

[crayonboxloco]

There needs to be a love button.

[Concept9221]

holy fuck, this is my first time ever listening to thrice. fucking love it.

[WonderExperience]

@Concept9221 Your life has just been changed. I hope you like never being able to listen to anything else ever again. I know I have...

[Concept9221]

@WonderExperience lol yeah ive only been listening to thrice and circa survive for the last week or so

[nickshel]

@WonderExperience Must be a pretty boring life.

[ChucklesTheSockSnake]

two people didn't steer clear of the sun

[timelessthee]

Oh Gods

[ChunkyChest]

complex time signature switch.. I like containing a weird 6:4 in a 4:4 hook..

[WonderExperience]

@ChunkyChest It's sexy.

[Obzidian09]

These guys....... so incredibly brilliant.... no words can describe...

[Styrofoamism]

who could dislike this performance?

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

goddammit thrice, i just changed my pants

[twicky2293]

I love it when wonderful bands such as these use mythology/history to tell the story in a great song =)

[thrice302]

musink

[arches801]

Love the tone from those teles.

[jeremyp18]

I... I am just... I don't even know what to say, I'm just so blown away by this. Dustin Kensrue just entered my favorites. Bravo man, just bravo.

[mrmale]

Did i saied that it's the best live performance I've seen in the past 20 years?

[cheeser164]

The amount of emotion that Dustin puts into that performance is incredible.

[Zanzasan]

"A song that's too perfect for words." Yeah, I think so Thrice.

[jiggawatt79]

good stuff!

[poulinmax]

supragenious. jesus thrice save me.

[thrice302]

thrice the band to play at Conan O'Brien spread the word

[matadordepig]

beautiful song thirce the best band

[nuker110]

Epic. I respect bands, even if I don't like their music, simply by the fact that they are able to show emotion, both in the studio and during lives.

I love this song and Thrice certainly has my respect.

[outaken]

sends chills up my back everytime

[xXVIsidsinnerIVXx]

WoW, What a great Bass line!!!

[xXVIsidsinnerIVXx]

One of the greatest American band of my generation!!!

[Lemaster2316]

wow that was fuckin great..... for anyone who does not know The Melting Point of Wax is from icarus's prospective. 

[sudachinohi]

This is such a beautiful song...and seems to fit the story of Icarus/Daedalus so well.

You can always tell a band is talented when they're better live. ;p

[darknight0dc]

i wish the album ending was as raw as this ending.

[austintylermorris]

Thrice is indescribable! Simply brilliant! Every song of theirs is outstanding...neato great job!

[stower123]

woah why hasn't any commented on this since eleven months ago! Thrice I love you I still support you!!!!!

[slade114]

"Oh Gods!

Why is this happening to me?

All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free

And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me

I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings

Oh Gods!"

One of my favourite lyrics from all of Thrice's songs.

[neglectedurchin]

damn, he really got into it. i was afraid he was gonna jump at me or something.

[lanky5191]

@ThisCakeIsDelicious Hopefully not

[jesusdrummer4913]

Chills. Absolute chills. Thrice is the greatest thing ever to hit the world of music. They so adeptly capture emotion in it's most raw form and put that into such beatiful music that us listeners identify with and actually even FEEL the same thing. SO BRUTAL GOOD!

[Cheesenipp6]

Oh gods... the ending in this version was so... I cant even explain how amazing that was... Chills all the way over here!

[FPSdrewfoo]

dude holy shit

[laiban]

2 people are tone deaf...

[Lozreich]

fuckin best version of the best song. ever.

[somentine]

That gave me the chills.

[interpol218]

Is that Teppei??!! I've never seen him with short hair or a beard

[markbooyah]

every time I listen to this band I have to pinch myself

[kimby]

Thrice is life changing to me. From First Impressions to Now are one of the greatest things to happen to music.

[zanalsex]

Wow, got a new respect for this song and the band after the last part of the video. Talk about fucking committing emotion to the song.

[vinstermonster]

button-up shirts and beards and shit. man-law.

[illueia]

Oh god... I love this song... But I think this particular video is officially ruined for me because of Humon... The beards kept reminding me of the Oresund Song (or however you spell it)... Curse you Humon! CURSE YOU!!!!

[edvardpuz]

Tags: beards flannel

hahahaha

[cutsandbruises101]

wow this sounds better than the album version!

[toolfanify]

Amazing performance, gave me chills...did Dustin lose a son?

[MutedCry]

@toolfanify "this is the sequel to the melting point of wax which tells the story of how icarus flew too close to the sun and his wings melted because they are made from wax... but this is not from icarus' point of view but from daedalus, his father"

A quote I found on some site~

[alterguitar21]

thumbs up for Orlando Bloom on the drums. =)

[countingmoons]

what is it with beards and flannel these days?

[glydeuserhelp]

@countingmoons

2 years ago buddy

[daimingburai]

jesus fucking christ. this is my favorite song off the alchemy index albums and my god they do it justice here. the screaming at the end is just so powerful, seriously makes me teary eyed thinking about how much i love my son and how much i want to give him every opportunity to have the best life possible.

[steve8873]

That is just pure emotion poured into music right there. This is one of the few bands keeping me from losing faith in a world of shitty music.

[D3VYN131]

I want a beard like that.

[cachetband]

just by listening to the guitar in this song i think you can tell Dustin and Teppei are best friends haha

[cutsandbruises101]

@cachetband by looking at there flannels and beards you can tell they are best friends haha

[BackendofForever89]

this may be the most amazing live performance i have ever had the privilege of watching. hands down one of the top five most epic bands of our time!

[xcarlosssx]

i don't care what anyone says, thrice is the greatest band EVER. ever.

[ef6854]

Daedalus more like Gaydalus!!!!!! Cmon Guy am I right or am I not!!

[BtArocks3133]

@ef6854 Hmm...definitely not.

[hotsnakes1]

Greatest band ever.

Dustin looks like a lumberjack, hahaha.

[rohan87]

from 3.34 until the end is fucking EPIC!

[hardeho]

I agree with brickstacker37. For the fist 4 minutes it was, hey, they sound good live, and then the last minute kicked it up two notches and just blow you away. I get goosebumps every time I hear that last part.

[brooks450]

hey

[brooks450]

4:09 - 5:02 = pure vocal greatness. he puts emotion and character into his voice better than anyone else i can think of.

[OfDustandNations3]

All Said and done...Incredible.

[Obzidian09]

I am absolutely astonished by this vid.

Dustin is the best.

Thrice is the best, forever, and always.

[McHamst3r]

holy shit.... dustin hits all the high notes perfectly. so damn good

[CCMrJones]

naaah not perfectly but reeeaallyy good oO amazing

[CCMrJones]

nah its perfectly... im sorry :>

[makesomethingup615]

...goosebumps.

[dewwhore]

Intense.

[MasstahYodah]

and bonus points for matching bass and guitars

[Andyiron777]

Yo Beardfest. Lovin' it.

[cmnr17]

wow. just wow.

[neger8]

They don´t just play this song, they feel it. It´s so natural...

Wow... Just... Wow... Best band in the world!

[johnnyshivago]

WOW best fucking video ever. just rad as hell dude.

[pandaeater9]

this performance is the fucking best. goosebumps til the very end.

[lpsim580]

Ok every time i see this video i cry when Dustin screams from "and now you took the only thing..." and on. So intense..... Best vid of them playing this song.

[streetkarpftw]

Anyone have a link to bass tabs for the song?

[WingPen]

The lyrics are PHENOMENAL.

[yourdone900]

god thats so fuckin good.

[Jeffchio5]

oh god i know. i heard somewhere that this is the second part to the melting point of wax, but instead from the fathers point of view..it makes sense perfectly actually. but yeah amazing lyrics.

[ArtistlnTheAmbulance]

@Jeffchio5 Wow I just realized this right now! Thanks.

[freshlikeuhhhhhh]

Dustin looks like he just rolled out of bed, lol.

[Jeffchio5]

so indie..lol

[ToneeAYO]

@freshlikeuhhhhhh

he's not trying to impress anyone with his looks

clearly he's more about the music

[awakefromyourlife]

I love the intensity from 5:00 on..especially just at the end where the last note rings out.

Just brilliant.

[MuddyTonic]

This man is unreal.

[Slnsk]

5:00 almost brings me to tears every time I get there...

[MuddyTonic]

genuine, why do I think this song is about his son dying. Is there truth to that?

[terrabomb]

Um...it's about Icarus dying if that's what you mean. It's kinda the twin to melting point of wax in that it's both sides to the Icarus and Daedalus story from Greek Mythology. If that's what you meant. Then yea, you are correct.

[kringring]

yeah, the way he sings this song it seems like it was his son who passed away.. especially the part close to the outro... it seemed to be that this song means a lot to dustin.

[kringring]

very intelligent

[aunteyeme]

thrice is so underrated, theyre AMAZING

[brickstacker37]

WOW!!!...This version of the song was GOOD...until it got to about the 4:30 mark. Then it reached a whole nother level. THRICE IS PHENOMENAL!!!! The best band ever....There is not a song they have recorded that I do not LOVE! and that I don't take a lesson out of. They are so meaningful and deep and sincere. Amazing.

[otakuploader]

Out of curiosity, what did you happen to take from the album Identity Crisis?

[darknight0dc]

@brickstacker37 I love 'moving mountains' that song is amazing.

alot of people dont like the alchemy index & vehissu, but I actually like the newer calmer stuff more than their older stuff (like identity crisis)

[vegasmedic911]

Wow! if you don't get chills with that ending you don't have a soul. This is my favorite performance by thrice. I love them for their real emotional feelings while playing and this is about as emotional I have ever seen them play!

[insanitysreason]

@brickstacker37 check out melting point of wax, you'll like it, if not 4 the song then the lyrics. its the same story but from icarus' point of view and, atleast i think, it reinvents the story from a cautionary tale 1 of freedom and testing limits 2 find out wats real and wat isn't.....plz excuse the short hand typing =P

[brickstacker37]

@insanitysreason Yea dude, That's really my all time favorite Thrice song. Probably their most inspiring song ever in my opinion.

[7hrice]

I like this, but would take The Melting Point of Wax over it anyday

[matttheknife]

the drums have some of the best sounds ever. C&C is amazing

[bowhunterdxt]

Thrice is AMAZING!!

[deadmentalenotales]

WOW i can say this is one band that changes but gets better and their sound just FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!Thrice never dissapoints

[walters0919]

in my opinion this is one of the best songs ever created

[RoyalzDevil]

4:34 - 5:04

SOOO much fucking emotion! LOVE IT!

[FormOfBeard]

i seriously can not get enough of this song. especially this version of it (myspace transmissions)

[Maphia44]

amazing.

[AmbulanceProductions]

Songs like this are the reason I place only the Beatles before Thrice.

[Gmoreno89]

if you think about it tho.... (and I Love the Beatles) but ALOT of their songs were corny and poorly written...then they had songs like Elenor Rigby and Hey Jude.....thrice has nothing but meaningful songs

[AmbulanceProductions]

Yeah but the melodies are still amazing in their early stuff, and you have to look at the times in which the Beatles started. Music hadn't really come into it's own yet and they really brought it. If Thrice had come out in 1962 I think that they would have been doing the same stuff, it wouldn't be nearly as meaningful as their albums are.

[7hrice]

Thrice covered Eleanor Rigby and it was so sick.

[streetkarpftw]

that bass riff is awesome.

[minoviatemata]

fuck, sing as in the disc

[pandaeater9]

this song is fucking brilliant

[666LoudMouth666]

I love this song!!!^^

[ned2one]

wow so I'm not the only drummer who accidently hits the rim of his rack toms hahaha good times ^_^ this band is freaking amazing

[zacfarrox3]

fucking. brilliant.

[bitcheleugene]

Dustin.. You are a blessed man.

[dejaflu]

Epic.

[WonderExperience]

Best Ending EVER

[rodriguez256]

yup

[youmefriend722]

The emotion that Dustin expresses in the last couple lines... amazing.

[iloveshaughnie]

that is the greatest ending ever

[mortalschecter]

Best band ever.

[achavez78]
