Devin Townsend Project - Trainfire

[xyoursurprisex]

Devin Presley!

[Mikedrums95]

4:59 major chills

[ExposingXianity666]

Why is "Soulja Boy" tagged in this?

[tcb5677]

Devy going rockabilly , just love it aside of devymetal, one of my fav genre's of rock music. He pays respect to Elvis, Buddy Holly, Stray Cats and many others.

[patspat]

4:59 what a voice ! shes fantastic

[MiasmaSxE]

One of the most serene, beautiful, romantic moments of my life started at 4:47

Thanks Dev for this... This one goes to my soon-to-be-wife.

[Badasscyborg27]

This song is amazing, even more so because it's DEVIN!!

[000MidnightSun]

this song is sweeeeeet

[sproaty]

I was driving back home from work today and this kicked in and I burst out laughing. Great track

[lasoogneypubes]

Probably Devin's weirdest song ever lol. Johnny Cash sound singing about sexy 17 year olds with a twist of metal? WTF? I love it!

[symmetricevil]

i love this song sounds like its inspired by elvis presley amazing!

[Seligsuper]

It's Sex sees seventeen year old.

Moving me up and down the poll.

As in, when he was 17 he got into porn. And it was bad for him and such.

[Rotter99]

@Seligsuper damn it, I thought it was about jacking off over strippers

[AsaBay2]

@Seligsuper That part of the song instantly reminded me of the song "She's Sexy + 17" by Stray Cats. Weird...

[Punchoop]

Hey guys I just came up with a joke! You see there's 3 people who disliked the song right.. Right here's the joke:

3 SEVENTEEN YEAR OLDS IS NOT SEXY HAHAH SEE WHAT I DID THERE! Epix huh ?

[Rotter99]

@Punchoop How about 3 sexy seventeen year olds failed to tell Devin what he needed to know?

[campkadeyourself]

This is actually one of the first of Devin's songs I've heard. He does have quite a unique, across the board yet lovely heavy sound. Needless to say, it works wonders!

[AnalDan]

my brain explodes at 2:41

[otakujhp]

For some reason I like this song. For some reason I worship Devin. For some reason I have to go marathon his stuff now.

[Noir2129]

4:56 is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I really wish he would have made that into a song on it's own. It's just that damn good.

[josteinhaugen]

@Noir2129 I totally fucking agree with you man.

[AZLuvV]

Wtf? Devin trips me the hell out, man!

[2moonsrock]

This artwork is a real mindfuck.

[tcb5677]

Devy paying tribute to Rockabilly just love it!!!

[spectatape]

This might be one of my favourite Devin tracks to date. Ki is a masterpiece.

[rebel797]

Devin never ceases to amaze moi...its beyond being brilliant,i just waiting foe him to somehow try and flick a bugger @ me.... :)

[CyanideSovereign]

This is a long way from Strapping Young Lad.

[fishguru73]

This song is like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Yngwie, Vai, and Devin decided to have a jam session. This is what originality is about.

[Askebon]

I especially love the endbit when that BEAUTIFUL female voice completely embrace the BEAUTIFUL chords! Devin for the win!!

[crimsonstare]

I just got in from seeing this played live. I am indeed a happy bunny!

[Gauldoth]

Holy shit, this isn't anything like what I expected from Devin Townsend... and it's awesome!

[nsmith86uk]

I'm so fucking tired of "3 peeplses missed duh liek button, haha, derp derp." on every fucking video.

Yeah, we get it, STFU and listen to a good song already!

[MrResilire]

Does anyone else imagine a late 1800's train fight scene when listening to this song?

[Viterkim]

@MrResilire It's about his addiction to pornography so not not really

[CyanideSovereign]

@Viterkim Really? Who said? Source damit!

[Yony42]

Chorus...too good....

[TheLordFenris]

Kind of sounds like Devin Townsend was possessed by the Stray Cats.

[campoobutt]

@TheLordFenris I was just thinking this.

[contagion88]

Or you can win them all because I'm not sure of a song from him I truly dislike.

[Taud]

lol mkay devy rock n roll died a long time ago, he loves to do joke albums doesnt he ahahah funny guy

[KosmickFool]

OMG 1 PERSON MISSED THE LIKE BUTTON LOLOLOLOLOL

[rarimagiraffe]

Man, everyone's yelling at @Morganzo7 just cuz he's being truthful, and I agree with him. He's entitled to his opinion. Some of the songs are beautiful, some some come off as a little boring. There's no doubt that the man is a bloody musical prodigy, but some songs just won't be as good as others. You can't win them all.

[headshop]

Hey Morganzo7....you're a complete idiot.

[force39osborn]

Hahah interesting song, very outstanding.

[tcb5677]

HE CAPTURED AND OWNED THE ROCKABILLY ORIGINAL

ROCK ON DEVY

[eatsandsleeps]

Devin channels Carl Perkins

[lordwindowlicker]

This is the best song from Ki, and that's saying a lot. I can't wait for Deconstruction, and Ghosts.

[eliten0Ob]

A really wild motown-feel in the start, but soon transacts into DT trademark style music. LOVE IT

[emu69emu]

Only messin, their not the lyrics, but if they were!! :) lol

[emu69emu]

Sexy 17 year old, Moving up and down the pole. Miley Cyrus anyone? Devin Nostradamus. lol

[Pixillatedd]

Ki is definitely an album for the more articulated listener. Trainfirrreee up and down the liiinneee!!!!

[musicalkaratekid]

i think this song is something beautiful...but so different in its own way.

[JamieT0]

Devin is just a frigging god when it comes to writing music.

[Lolpezatron]

I'm proud of you guys. I'm actually a friend of this video's poster and a giant fan.

[hissclick]

@Lolpezatron I don't understand why people pretend to troll. It is the most pointless use of dialogue on the internet.

[Lolpezatron]

@hissclick Then you understand neither humor nor futility.

[Lolpezatron]

God I Hate Devin Townsend. You call this music?

[GiantPixels]

@Lolpezatron

you need to be burned alive with getting raped by dinosaurs.

[Nimenoz]

@Lolpezatron I call you a fucking retard.

[o0portal0o]

@Lolpezatron well how about you go and listen to your toilet flush? It seems more to your taste.

:-D

[thelema3131]

hahahahaha fuck.

[bovinemarauder]

@Lolpezatron Yea its great music, lucky he hates you too eh!

[igdesaeger]

I hate Townsend a little more every day... When I've thought he couldn't beat his best choruses... This guy is way too cool.

[annxsbz]

Que buen tema! :P

[thelema3131]

this song is amazing.

[ManChiggerDude]

You guys have no idea how much this song just cheered me up after a shitty day of work. Or maybe you do. Devin Townsend is the man.

[thelema3131]

I do.

[Mel7vc]

@ManChiggerDude Yep he sure is. I love him and his music more than any other artist/music I have EVER heard. And he's the same age as me (I don't know why but that makes me feel even better!) And Tracy always gives a personal touch to the CDs you buy from them. I have had lots of signed notes and replies to emails over the years. Peace and love to him and his family.

[frippsfruition]

@Mel7vc Yeah I've gotten a few of those notes as well...saved them too!lol Definetly nice of them, who is tracy anyhow?...........on a side note I could listen to that ending all day long!

[Mel7vc]

@frippsfruition Hi, Tracy is Dev's wife and in charge of merchandise - well I think she still does the merch anyway. I think it's her that signs the notes with a "Thanks" Great service so rarely found these days.

[moroney88]

Never realised how much like elvis he could sound.

[PiratesFlying]

I totaly agree with you!

[BlindFaith418]

love this song!

[MrMongolozo]

This guy is seriously talented

[Noir2129]

The ending is so fucking good...He should have made one more track on the album starting off with the end. I replay it all the time, I get so pissed, because it's so damn short. Why did he give us one of the best openings to a song at the end of a song? FUUUUUK!!!!!

[theconjob]

The last minute of this song is possibly the most beautiful section of music I've ever heard

[bakplaat13]

Best track of the album by far.

[o0portal0o]

Trainfire is stuck in my head!

Oh no, I want a steam train time machine!

[rikkitimbo]

i wish a there were a whole genre of music like this

[capillarian187]

@ rikkitimbo There is, it's called THE DEV

[sylunatic]

rock n roll mate, my mum even jams her ass of to his lol!

[BetterThanYou11]

fucking mad song!!

[jonoortrev]

just another of his tracks that proves he can do anything he wants to perfectly, such a brilliant track!

[Layskrazy]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[CyanideSovereign]

Devin Townsend, the man who can tame raging MetalHeads.

[holmihabe]

to Anjohl

I´m proud that you did´nt broke our expectations and opinion about you - neanderthal man from stone age :) Hey,you've impressed us with your fondness for GayArt!

Hmm ,cool symbiosis - gay neanderthal...THE ONLY TRUTH about you and your so called "world-view"

The only truth here

[WidekMusic]

amazing song ! Love "Presley" parts :P

[great20]

The transformation this song makes in its final minutes is outstanding. 5/5

[holmihabe]

wtf? Many artists as Textures,Mnemic etc wouldnt be nothing without getting influence from Dev.

And your are not EVERYONE!!!

Go back to forest where you came

[Ph4nt0mL1mb]

totally agree with you man. totally! Devin was a great influence to all these bands that now many refer to as "original".

[capillarian187]

How are BTBAM headlining a tour that has Devin Townsend in it? Bullshiat.

[WatchMaster23]

@capillarian187 I was at that show a couple days ago. It is weird to think that BtBaM was headlining, but they both put on an amazing show so I'm not complaining =)

[capillarian187]

@ WatchMaster23 Lucky! I don't doubt that they are a fantastic band. I just feel that Devin Townsend outperforms them in everything: composition, talent, versatility.. Maybe it's because they are closer to what the definition of 'progressive metal' has become in the last 8 years or so... It would be a shame if that were the only reason.

[WatchMaster23]

I see where you're coming from, and I'd definitely agree. Devin is just nuts and he's proved how good he is through and through. I would have loved to see him play more, it was an absolute shame he was only there for 5 or 6 songs. Might try and see him again if he ever comes back to Toronto.

[xyrxes1]

if you don't like it, fuck urself and piss off with your pitiful comments no one here cares about

[JesterIF]

I hope you were not serious, or I'll seriously consider slitting if I were you.

[Anjohl]

Sorry, I had no idea you were fudgepacking Devin. Sorry if the truth about your bum buddy hurts, just like his tiny cock in your tight asshole.

[JesterIF]

Unique artists won't please everyone's ears. I'm sorry your tiny brain can't understand that.

[NihilCBR]

@JesterIF Couldn't agree more. Same goes for Tom Waits, who happens to be my favourite musician.

[Chiznitz]

@JesterIF I'm sorry your self-entitled ass can't grasp that either.

[JesterIF]

@Chiznitz Errr...the fuck is your problem?

[KapitanIptan61]

Phenomenal artist ! Awesome song !

[cloudmx]

that beginning there sounded like an elvis song. and the tempo is very reminiscent.

alright, and that total change at the fifth minute is fantastic.

[Vynredner]

It's probably been asked already, but does anyone know who sings from the 5:00 mark on?

[Vynredner]

Nevermind, her name is Che Dorval.

[SPARTANN09]

@Vynredner

Che Dorval

[SPARTANN09]

@Vynredner Whoops, didn't notice that the question was answered - sorry mate!

[zarehara]

wickeeeeeed

[TonyDickinsonBG]

A bit unexpected from Devin, but just as brilliant as everything else he's put out. This song is fantastic.

[earworm]

yeah I always get goosebump in the 5th minute, so dreamy

[sentient07]

the fifth minute let my heart melt.

[Stackbarrel]

5th minute!!!! AAAAAhhhh... such a beautiful part.

[shanewesleygtr]

this totally reminds me of elvis hahaha. i think its great, though. definitely makes the cd worth buying.

[get62477]

in the 2:48 area when he says the word line... sick

[SR802]

Ok?

[get62477]

down the line...I guess I just love how he sings it...

[coheedisamassacre]

good stuff , i hope gene does some drum work on the heavy album that he does!!!

[Seanvampire]

I really love this album. THis song shows that Devin can write a song in any genre of Rock and have it be great.

I also noticed that he has been working with alot of female vocalist recently

[gande27]

anyone know who does the support vocals in this cd? adds so much more to gato and heaven send as well as this one! just amazing

[buxtonfist]

Here name is Che Dorval.. You can check out hear solo stuff on here myspace page. She has solo album that should be completed by the end of the summer.

[itowedin]

5:00. What do you say to something like that?

[quesefodam10vezes]

its.. a magic last minute.

[Stackbarrel]

fantastic!

[zarbicore]

Absolutely amazing album, love Devy

[XxAcousticSamuraixX]

He can make any style of music just freaking rock!

[o0portal0o]

Oh my god Devy!

No words to express how awesome his new stuff is!

[Morganzo7]

This is my favorite song off of Ki.

Not to be a downer, but is anyone else not really impressed with Ki? I don't like all the whispering and the drums leave a lot to be desired.

[Michaelfreakincombs]

At first I only thought a few of the songs were truly great. Then I ended up going on a trip to the virgin islands a couple weeks ago and really, really connected with this album. The space given to the drums adds a lot of depth to the album. I also like how it's not too technical and mainly focuses on conveying a mood the most subtle way possible. From start to end this record is hands down my favorite from him. Personally, I believe his career has been building up to these projects.

[123JoeD456]

Yeah i brought it not long after it came out, i listened to it and though 'yeah that was pretty good, but i still need to get into it more'. I'm gonna listen to it tonight , should help me get to sleep real easy.

[avendesoran]

@Morganzo7 If you give the song a full listen through, it develops and tells a story and the music fits. imo I think the drumming is phenomenal, it has complicated dynamics and articulates the mood of the song perfectly

[musicalkaratekid]

@Morganzo7 thing is, devin admitted in an interview that 'ki' was one of his most relaxing and calmest creations,so all the whispering and the laidback drums probably contribute towards the overall feel of the album. i admit its not his best,but it still is an amazing achievement to have had:)

[soccer4lyfe8]

@Morganzo7 For this album Devin said he was going to hold back because it would be a different to do so. His last album is going to be his heavy stuff.

[pancakemasta6]

its amazing how devin can write in any style yet still mantain his signiture sound

[LazerRage]

I second that, he knows how to blend styles very well :)

[skylinegtt84]

i couldnt agree more with you

[ltftw]

Elvis?

[TomasuSA]

how stunning is the section from 4:58. when i heard it listening through the cd i had to keep replaying that section. at the right moment it can tug your heart strings

[masterlowsferatu]

I'd second that.. one of the most truly beautiful moments i've ever heard in music form.

[ElJucifer]

was jus about to leave a comment to the same effect of that lol

her voice is truly incredible, enchanting. jus fucking awesome.

[theconjob]

Lol, this guy amazes me with the range of stuff he can write.

[RoswellMantellGrudge]

j'adore le bref passage de chant: 5:00!

Dans le style du bonus de Synchestra.

[z1ko]

This is the new Vampira. I love how Devin can seriously write ANY genre of music. It's probably why he is by far my favorite musician. It's just a shame I won't be able to buy this album until it's realeased in the US. Alot of my friends are like "LOL JUST GET IT ON LIMEWIRE FO FREE" But I can't do that to a god....

[MusicMarried]

LOL! sorry, hitted the wrong target when i would give you a thump up ;) well, can only agree with you! he is amazing! can think of any others who got my respect as a musician like he gots! and cool to hear you give god the respect he diserves and buy the shit! :D

[DAntiprodukt]

Pull it from limewire until it comes out, then buy it from the store. You get your music, god gets his money.

[FormerlyMrBean667]

Quote of the year, man.

[BetterThanYou11]

@z1ko he's so cool man

[salmacis81]

2:53 - 3:03 looks like Devin would be doing falsettos. Is that correct?

[infinityjak]

Nah buddy, I'm pretty sure it's the female vocalist Ché Dorval

[lilmanweeman]

this has surprisingly almost an older country sound to it in the beggining

but still really good.

[Spotfarm666]

It's more of an old rock n roll feel as opposed to country. Very Elvis-esque, into a very swingy chorus kinda thingy? Still epic that he can make that work!

[jvgfy]

this should be released as a single. it's fantastic

[Mega0800]

OH YEAH!!!!! This is one of the best songs of the KI. Gato, Distruptr and Coast are also GOOD!

[ChimpityChoo]

Who is the female vocalist? I know I've heard her before

[Mega0800]

Ché Dorval is the Female Vocalist

[tobylove666]

Move me,

How in the world we gonna make everything alright?

How in the world we gonna make everything on time?

Train burning, all night burning...

Trainfire...

Trainfire up and down the line!

[tobylove666]

Sex sees seventeen year old

She don't tell me what I need to know

Train upon the quantum, a Kai, the string theory...

Trainfire up and down the line!

Trainfire, trainfire, trainfire...

So, you called my name

Left on a weary road beyond your ways

May all the other colors of your name

...go.

[Andinator]

You can tell Devin's songs for this album turned out exactly as he wanted them to. Brilliant stuff.

[JulianValentinHansen]

great to see someone are more informed than me! :)

[JulianValentinHansen]

well! you must have good ears! ore you must be devin townsend himself?

[SSHGL]

nah dev announced the lyrics on his forum, and his youtube name is poopynuggeteer

[SYL701]

killer...bout time Dev, thank you! =)

[Antifuzz1]

im in love with this song, maybe not the lyrics but the song itself. so cliche

[JulianValentinHansen]

Devin are still a balled old pervert :P With a little elvistwist ;D Sexy seventeen year old! Hell yeah! In the heavy part it sounds like a mix of Synchestra and Infinity!

[sheps999]

"Sex sees seventeen year old"

:)

[Link10893]

When I heard this single track on the preview of Ki, I really, really didn't like it.

And it was the only one I had my doubts about.

But holy shit it picked the fuck up at times.

[SceleiMcflaps]

I dunno, I kinda liked the ol' timey feel.  Then he picks it the fuck up.

[tobylove666]

why the hell didnt he wrote a full track with the end song pfffffff :( cant wait to put the cd on my player !!!

[TheLB2k6]

lol @ tags

[Michaelfreakincombs]

lawl i forgot i did that

[dreamtheater1957]

Got my foot tappin!!! fucking awesome!!

looking foreward to hear the rest of Ki

[sentient07]

who ever expected devin will make a rockabilly song?
