PAIN OF SALVATION - THE PERFECT ELEMENT

[MartinMindwork]

Where is the picture in 9:20 from? Thanks

[SiliconBlake]

I search shrewdly, secretly, and earnestly, almost daily for songs like this, And who doesn't. But please... This is really what it's all about.... A song that you can play over and over and over. And over. These don't come cheap.

[ironrushscorp]

this is the first pain of salvation song i have ever listened to

i got chills

[ArielAHSPlayer]

02:02 Eargasm

[DearLyns]

Cannot describe how it was to see this live after so many years longing for this moment.

[ciranno]

i just think that they have chosen the wrong name for this band.

[a7xislifeisrock]

5:05 - 6:00 ia powerful. Honestly... that part of the song gave me goosebumps all the time. And i listened to this song when i got pissed and took off for a run and i felt better... this song is amazing. his voice is the voice of a god

[dreampheater]

Hah, so I am lucky to live in times of so many good bands emerging from tha chaos. When I was listening to King Crimson years ago I thought this is the first and the last band of its kind. Than Dream Theater came and I thought the same. But later on I've discovered Porcupine Tree, Opeth, now this one, and feel even more hooked by... So exciting! ;)

[OtherSideOfFlat]

@dreampheater Prog ftw

[a7xislifeisrock]

@dreampheater Youre awesome! Every band you just named is kick ass! :) Have you heard of redemption? I think youd like them too :D

[tobysfig]

Hopefully seeing these guys and Opeth at Bristol in November. HELLYES.

[isciol]

Someone needs to make a video that has the song "Falling" then this. If you didn't know Falling is the prelude solo piece to this song :)

[MsFreesun]

VIDEO DELICIOUS!!!... YOUR LABOR... YOUR HEART HEALTH!!!... LAST BREATH QUERY!!!...SHARE HEARTS'''.... HEARTS FROM THE HEART.... WITH LOVE...

[MsFreesun]

BREATHING GRABBED HIM BY HIS LAST... WHO IS THE LAST RELEASE BREATH???... SIGNIFICANCE TO EARN NOTHING!!!... JUST ORDINARY NOTHINGNESS!!!... SHARE WITH HEARTS FREE INQUIRY!!!... HEART FROM THE HEART... WITH LOVE...

[freminick123]

What is the pic at 2:11? Is it the troy horse with an angel?

[bignoob54]

@freminick123 Yeah, that's pretty much it

[luisspartans]

In his head a thunderous

Cry of desperation

Tearing voices from his past

Scream for his attention

Behind those eyes a world explodes

No one there to save him

All pain that he's been passing on

Answers to his craving

Once more................amazing

[streamC]

What the picture at 2:32?

[JakyManoRossa]

1....... What??!

[overbest]

The outro is probably the best EVER, and the greatest emotional thing ever created... I mean it... This "Now youuuuuuu aaaare killing me" OMG, pure art.

[GottDerGewalt]

schwul!

[gaaraguy565]

I've always wondered (since I found this band), how in the world does Daniel take every human emotion, place it into one song, and make it amazing? That technique of his always gets me. Other bands may have talent, but this band had talent AND emotion. That, in my books, is what makes music so great. And so, PoS, I salute you!

[Talisdream]

You've done a great job of illustrating an amazing song! It's a fitting end to one of the most amazing albums ever recorded, in my humble opinion...

[007Pogo]

Freakin intense, give me gossebumps everytime o.o.

[rlevanony]

The pictures describe it perfectly.

[XGLDF]

Daniel Gildenlöw is such a genious!

His concepts, his music, his lyrics, his voice, his feeling!

I have met Pain of Salvation twice now, and they're such nice guys! It also seemed to be a possible thing to have Pain of Salvation playing at my wedding :D

[davemustaine87]

how people can even compare the new material to this?

[flashbackguitar]

@davemustaine87 idk. i like the new stuff a lot but it's more for like when i dont want to do some intense listen and i just want background music

[FUMETTISTA370]

IL MIO NUOVO CANALE E' FUMETTISTA370

[kremel44]

Que gran cancion!

Great song!

[ftbllaxmaniac]

like always PoS knows how to end an album, possibly the greatest musical climax of an album ever. This along with Remedy Lane's Beyond the Pale and BE's Maritus/Nauticus II are some of the most epic, moving, and driving songs ever written

[nivramrelyt]

This album definitely lives up to the title. Quiite possibly my favorite album I've ever heard.

[Hamashimura]

Holy shit...always,one of the greatest bands that walks on this planet...with constant changes,PoS makes the band that no "basic listener" can listen to,but those that do can only be awed by the complete harmony of their music...the mood,combined and expressed through vocals and instruments is just darn amazing,and that is what makes this band just amazing...You just sit and listen to those feelings expressed through instruments while being enchanted by vocals-every song is absolutely perfect...

[imperator1921]

what the frak does that mean he's got the best prog voice? the guys can sing literally anything, anyhow, anywhere and that has nothing to do with prog metal. PoS doesn't even play prog metal music. yeah, they got some influences but calling their music progressive is an insult toward the variety of influences they infuse their music with... geez

[LeeRLang]

@imperator1921 prog voice, or progressive voice, means he's able to adapt your voice to any style of music. Progressive music, is (in my opinion), any music which cannot be labeled as any single genre, because of its constant change. And so stating somebody has a good progressive voice is a huge compliment for any singer.

[PeelingThePito]

the perfect element = the perfect song

the acoustic interlude is breathtaking, the screams are full of anger and despair...

the album, especially this song, took me 2 years of occasional listening to hook me, but now is one of my "desert island" albums

[TheMutante02]

Great song and beautiful pictures !

[Hulloification]

@Flyghter666

I wish that were true, but as long as the walking abomination that is the pop gerne great bands such as Dreamtheater and Pain of Salvation have a little chance of becoming bands that future generations would like... It brings a tear to my eye thinking about it ='(

[Flyghter666]

One of the better songs of the best band on the earth. (for many generations to come)

[CUATERECTILIANO]

CARAJO CUATE ESTA ROLA MI ASE YlORAR DE EMOSION AL FIN Y AL CABO YIO NO ESCUCHIO LA ROLA SINO CE LA ROLA MI ESCUCHIA A MI LA NETA COMPADRE SIMPLIFICANDO HAY (O HUBO Y HAY) TANTOS "THE PERFECT ELEMENT" COMO LAS VESES CE CADA CUATE ESCUCHIO LA ROLA MULTIPLICADAS POR TODOS LOS CUATES CE LA ESCUCHIARON ACI CE CIGAN ACI PAIN OF SALVATION Y YIO Y MI CONTEXTO TANBIEN JEJE LA NETA SI CIEREN EMOSIONARSE NO OLVIDEN INTENTAR PREDISPONERSE CUATES Y DISFRUTEN CADA ESPIRIENSIA UNICA

[SageIceDragonX]

This is such a powerful song....its beautiful and the screams have such crazed emotion. Pain of salvation is really the poetry of my heart. I dont know any band who really connects so powerfully with my soul like they do. Ive been a fan for 8 years now and every time I listen, it never gets old. Their music will forever hold a special place in my heart.

[Moressea]

Wow! (:

[Sproeikoei]

The scream really gives me goosebumps =/

[tomcore67]

my favourite POS song . So full of emotions. It's just perfection.

[Flyghter666]

@tomcore67 Yep, that's why it's the perfect element (ok, I know it failed. Let me just have my laugh too (: )

[CyGabriel]

one of the best songs ever.. total perfection..

[olastrax2]

4:40 - 6:37 makes my day, everyday.

[IWillSexU]

6:40-08:10 makes mine... but it's the right thing to say is that 0:00-10:17 makes it.. ^^

[olastrax2]

completely agreed...i didnt like this album the first time i listened to it, but thank god i never throw one away after listening to it several times, the more i here it, the more i like it. 0:00 - 10:17 - epic.

[IWillSexU]

same here.. i wasn;t into progressive at the very first time I heard. but keeping listening to prog metal/rock i realized that " God Progressive is MY genre" =)

[whitesnake21st]

@olastrax2 That part always makes me cry. I've never heard something so beautiful.

[uKrease]

Ultimate win !!!!!!!

This song has such a build up....totally awesome !!

[Antalarion]

the picture at 5.50 looks Emo, but weirdly I like it, in that intense moment of the song

[drmplaya34]

This is the first video on youTube I have seen that works well with the song in the background. After seeing this video with this song, I don't ever want to listen to the song alone anymore. Bravo! Well done!

[NeQproductions]

no one like HE

[vetnep1968]

The more and more i listen to that mans voice i think damn he has the greatest prog voice of all prog bands. Daniel your the man.

[VoxBox2000]

@vetnep1968

No doubt about that

[GattlingGuitarGuru]

@vetnep1968 Correction: greatest voice of all bands :DDD

[theonemav]

@vetnep1968 he is great no doubt... but Tate's early work slays his vocals. Daniel is much better then LaBrie though...

[metalxmetal1]

@vetnep1968 Russell Allen is so much better!!!!

[smerfy01]

@metalxmetal1 oh god no...seriously russell allen is good, but come on man...daniel gildenlow has quite possibly everything you would want in a singer and then some. russell allen, mostly the same stuff over and over

[Ed0saurus]

@vetnep1968 exactly my thinking over the past years... even he made "some" changes in these new albums i still respect PoS...

... all those who say new albums are in good shape are partially wrong and they know it...

[SigDrums]

At around 4:40, perfectness is achieved.

[FlashDT]

I totally agree!! pure perfection!

[SigDrums]

Wow! I checked out your profile! You're a prog-head and a George Carlin(R.I.P.) fan! That's awesome dude! :D

[FlashDT]

hehe, you're surprised a prog-head has a sense of humor? ;)

[SigDrums]

Hehe, not at all. Just my kind of humor, we are a rare kind. ;)

[bishop529]

perfection, sorry

[SigDrums]

I know, I just wanted to make a point. Perfectness sounds more epic, if you know what I mean. ;)

[SSSavio]

I LOL every time I read perfectness. You are great. Cool song.

[SigDrums]

Hehe, I know it's not a word. ;)

[haugen86]

srsly one of the greatest song ever..!

[Corvo80]

Really wolderful video and song.

[IWillSexU]

I set my self on fire , to breed the perfect element..

my all time fav song.. =]

[Proghead88]

Oh yes.... musical and visual orgasm.

[Mihelino]

Where did you get the pics for this vid ???

love the song and Pics !!!!

[DTneedsroykhan]

Gave it 5 stars... This song is in my opinion their best song, along with 'inside'...
