Devin Townsend - Blackberry

[BenjyGoodrich08]

My goal in life is to write something as beautiful as this album.

[yoseiki]

amazing this comes from the same person who brought us Strapping Young Lad as well!?

and just as brilliant...

[brittneymuniz]

this song always reminds me of cruisin down 66 through the loopy turns and big mountains. :P

[MrDnbhead]

i love devins music everything he writes has so much depth and emotion + everyone writing comments on here is in a happy mood from the great music, can't compare his songs to any other artist and for that he has my most respect, keep up the good work, we are your fans and we grow more and more hungry for your music. :D

[VexusFlytrap]

That's weird, first Devin Townsend thing I listened was Deconstruction... and now this. Glad to see there's some variety.

[Pellefather]

As much as I love Devin, Deconstruction is too freaky for me. Ghost though is fantastic, my favorite of this year and possibly one of my very favorites among his many albums :)

[CannibalCorpse909]

I love ya Dev, but i gotta say.... Ghost > Deconstruction.... Nothing fucks with Ziltoid though!

[Andinator]

sounds like it could be on terria

[slocrostic87]

i use ghost for my afternoon meditation..and it is great:)))

[biffington]

this is beautiful, does anyone have the tab for this?

[Wakesphere99]

Suggested this song to a girl I have feelings for, merely because its amazing and I enjoy sharing Devin's music.

She thought I was expressing my feelings through song.

I now have a girlfriend for the first time in 8 months.

The power of Devin, man.

[kassikorva]

@Wakesphere99 I request the highest of fives :D

[TheHuntress144]

this is MUCH better than Deconstruction

[aleroblues]

I had this song randomly come into my head this morning. Gotta love Devin! I haven't really listen to main stream music in years. Also he is on tour! I can't wait!

[PcCAvioN]

@aleroblues Mainstream...?

[aleroblues]

@PcCAvioN I met that I haven't listen to main stream music, Dev is FAR from that! :D

[NoelHull]

It just doesn't get better than this, ever

[TheShadowPantha]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I simply don't understand how Devin can make this kind of music.

[gold46dragon]

Speaking as a mad lover of chaotic, bombastic music - like Deconstruction, but with more orchestra - I find this to be the absolute best soft music I have ever heard.

EVAR.

[damnbacon88]

What key are the frogs in?

[AstraVex]

@damnbacon88

B# Minor.

[damnbacon88]

@AstraVex I see what you did there.

[TheBrianhj]

wtf is this pop shit? if anyone else made this album it would be disregarded as indie pop shit. oh, but since devin created it it's genius

fuck off

[Yesman812]

@TheBrianhj Like how you said fuck off and you're the one commenting on here lol

I can kind of see where you're coming from when you say it's poppy. Regardless, this still feels very Devin Townsend-y to me with the layering, the vocals, the emotional richness, etc. But whatever bro, you're entitled to your own taste in art.

[NukeMTV]

@TheBrianhj What kind of "hurr durr indie" artist would use this amount of layering, or post-production in general? Actually, I'm not entirely sure why I'm bothering commenting on this. People who disregard "pop" or "poppy" music immediately are pretty much all knuckle-dragging BR00TLZ metalheads anyway. There's a difference between "commercial bullshit" and "pop-sensibility". Devin's always had the latter, even back in SYL.

[gold46dragon]

@TheBrianhj All I know is it's amazing :)

[ozena52]

@TheBrianhj You're wrong.

[ozena52]

@ozena52 Also when was the last time you heard banjo, vocal harmonies and synth co-existing in a pop song?

[bravehat1]

@TheBrianhj You know it really is a shame that folk can't just listen to the music, calmly state that they dislike it or like it and carry on with their lives.

And for the record, I ain't ever heard indie pop shit that is even close to this good.

Plus it sounds more like Trampled By Turtles than indie pop shit, and they're country.

Just sayin' bro, just sayin.

[CharlieChanization]

One of my best friends died in a car crash 5 days ago, and this song is my link to them. Every time I hear this song, I think of her and I thank Devin for giving me something so beautiful to remember her by. Thank you Dev.

[ManChiggerDude]

@CharlieChanization Sorry for your loss brother, at least you can take solace in remembering her through this masterpiece. Keep truckin'.

[ItsNotMyBong]

@CharlieChanization I lost the love of my life some time ago; I'm brought to tears by this song every time I hear it.

[JoeyThe14th]

@CharlieChanization sorry to hear about it man ):

[Cataclysm31]

@CharlieChanization All the best to you my mate, music is the best medicine in times of need :)

[meshugeah]

finally Dev with banjo!

[axelflow1]

perfect!!!

[ezmodeon]

I'm getting a heavy Elliott Smith vibe on this track. Devin Townsend's new stuff is astounding.

[TheOvermaster]

I could listen to Devin Townsend songs for the rest of my life and never get bored.

[Afghanistam]

bud-wei-ser

[pinoa7x]

Best songs from this record : Fly,Ghost,Feather,Blackberry,T­exada

[heretic707]

How is this not more well known?

[Code3Patriot]

This song has been giving me goosebumps all day long. Words can not do justice to sense of wonder and beauty this song projects. Thank you Devin Townsend for restoring my faith in good music.

[syzrs]

@Code3Patriot and his lyrics make it even better vibe imo.

[KingStibroz]

Please, tell me who other guy uses croaking of frogs to create atmospheare? I guess nobody. Devin is simply awesome.

[Seligsuper]

@KingStibroz The guy from New Order used it in The Perfect Kiss...

:3

[Arthounot]

@Seligsuper I think the other way around? Was New Order not disbanded before this came out?

[Arthounot]

@Seligsuper I think the other way around? Was New Order not disbanded before this came out? New Order disbanded in 2007. This song is from 2011?

[Seligsuper]

@Arthounot Your lack of logic confuses me. How does the year have anything to do with a band using frogs for atmosphere.

[Pager1991]

@Arthounot Why do you think the songs were created in 2011? Dev played parts of multiple songs in the "Unleashed" video that appear on Deconstruction and Ghost, which was posted to youtube in 2009...

[Arthounot]

@KingStibroz I did, but i am not popular. :)

[Havokreator]

@KingStibroz Incubus, in the song aqueous transmission.

[alvprok]

@KingStibroz

He already did it in the song hypergeek also some birds sounds. check it
