  • Chris would you let me draw you naked while you read a lovecraft book <3

  • @MsTwatWaffle Yes,yes I would.

  • I miss SW. Chris pls come back.

  • love all chris hall does

  • seen them live in h-town loved it

  • This band is kick ass. They make scream sound greater.

  • its been 7 years since I last saw The Dreaming >_< I remember being around just a hand full of people at the whiskey to see them, good times ^_^ the band was better with the original members.

  • Chris is awesome!!!!! I'm gonna hear more 'bout The Dreaming.

  • Hooray for using the demo version the because album version had its soul sucked out.

  • I remember when Deigo(guitar player in vid) used to bring his gear to work so he would shoot strait to the venue rite after work

  • i know your such a pedophile

    having 17 yr olds dancing around your ankles

    good job faggot feet

  • I can't believe it took me all these years to find Christopher hall's band. Stabbing Westward is what got me started on music back in 98. All because of a video game. Such a shame they are no more but this will have to do.

  • Download these Dreaming songs, from the 4 EPs before the album "Etched In Blood".

    That is a great album, but these songs here are just breathtakingly AMAZING, honestly you will all love them.

    let me know what you think when you hear them.

    Check out piratebay to download them

  • *-* jinxx I love you

    ~fangirl mode~

  • gotta love chris hall

  • This song fits Me perfect ;)

  • Stabbing Westward - The Dreaming

  • fucking great song....for all the cruel, unsteady bitches out there....

  • NOW I know why I listen to Porcupine Tree!

  • All the guys are super hot!! I've met them several times, and they are really nice too. Their combined musical ability has the potential to take them far. They really need to come back to des moines ia soon!

  • I like it.

  • One, AHHHHMAZING song. Two, Hot band. Three,Replay, Replay, Replay.

  • i will always love them.

  • playing at the Whisky tomorrow...should I go ?? lol seriously should I I don't know this

  • is that Meghan Mayhem?!?!?!?!

  • For my girl.

  • Wasn't jinxx from BVB in this band?

  • @Zeldaslave yes he was

  • @Zeldaslave Yep.

  • this is just as good as stabbing westward 

  • fuck i heard he got fucked on the stabbingwestward thing

  • @EDOM666DEVORE How so? What exactly did ya hear?

  • @GunToThaHead his old record label coloumbia switched to koch and members left cause they were being assholes this is not a fact just rumor

  • @EDOM666DEVORE I dont know but I met them all at a club, got their autographs and everyone in Stabbing Westward was cool to everyone but Chris. He was a jerk to a couple of people, which was uncool but I still like his music.

  • lame

  • @philippeMU gay

  • wtf he was better in stabbing westward fker

  • Fuck, I was hot in the video :) j/k lol.....

  • their drummer is a really cool guy

  • Here's my question: When the chick was a bitch during that first webcam session, why the HELL would the guy deal with her crap ever again? Anyways, great song, great band. Go Chris Hall!

  • @RazelG 'cause she's hot!

  • chris hall hated stabbing westward they never got along says he

    thats a 1reason why they parted

  • saw them live someone needs to sign them soon there freaking great live!!

  • To clarify some of the comments below: This was the original version called Beautiful which was released on the original Dreaming EP from 2004, re-recorded on Etched in Blood as "Ugly". I personally have always liked the original am glad that they perform the song live as you hear in the video.

  • We are playing with them tonight...

  • holy hell this rocks!

  • chris hall rules

  • If you all like this try stabbing westward, its the singers old bands, but damn i hope these guys get lucky. Theyve been touring on there own without a lable for a few years now. They really deserve a signing

  • i know im gonna get racked over this but im just not feeling it... feels forced and poppy. musically it feels like a Filter rip off and vocally feels fake to me

  • I hear ya, I'd have to listen to more then just this song but Stabbing Westward's tracks seem to have a lot more substance then this.

  • i love the dreaming. but i've always wonder'd why the video for this song has a different version of the song than is on the cd. i prefer this version acctually but it kinda bugs me when i get the words mixed up due to the fact that theres two different versions

  • Love this song and the band =) <3

  • Stabbing Westward and The Dreaming are both Awesome - they do awesome versions of their songs - some more punk-rock, some more electronic / industrial and others acoustic - Chris is an incredible writer and his singing is great because it sounds really good whether he is singing or shouting. I love these bands and I'm sure anyone with good taste will do too.

  • i think Stabbing Westwards heavier stuff is awsome but i don't like there slower stuff

  • @DavidDeath57

    Definitely enjoy both bands, although Stabbing Westward remains one of my favorite bands even after 8 years of their dismantling. I hope the Dreaming would tour Florida soon, I missed them the last time they did.

  • @VRRA4

    Good to see there are others out there with great taste in music too! :)

  • @DavidDeath57

    Thanks for the complement.

  • song is called Ugly... not beautiful.

  • It was originally called Beautiful but they changed it to Ugly on the album

  • whats this video about ? O.o

  • I like like both bands they both have good music and good lyrics

  • I don't understand why if people don't like the Dreaming and love Stabbing Westward they look up the Dreaming and make negative comments. Stabbing Westward is over So move on or don't listen!

  • Yes,CssSnake6 I have.I know you don't know me but i am not a poser.i don't talk shit about what i don't know.Christopher Hall's voice is NOT suited to sing,especially emo.I've just realized that i don't respect him as a person.He asks fans to helpl buy a tour van..meanwhile he and his wife own a photography business(google Tam Khuu Hall if you don't believe me..)and they make 1,500 per session.They have the money to buy a van(Tam is part of the band since she's their photographer,.)Greedy SOB.

  • Also, Chris failed to get into a music school and he became the singer in SW because he "lost" to Walter in a coin toss.

  • Stabbing Westward were awesome, this certainly is not a continuation of that, I don't know if I'm a fan of the Dreaming yet but this song grows on me the more I hear it.

  • I cant deny the guy has a great voice that translates well over to the dreaming...but just not as deep, dark, and personal as stabbing westward

  • i fucking love stabbing westward, man christopher you should have called me to do your music video, i would have done a kick ass job

  • ive seen him live.. twice :D their better than the videos of them live! the quality kind of sucks on youtube...

  • Christopher can't sing.He can't carry a tune.I saw him om youtube singing "happy birthday"and he couldn't even sing that.For a song as short and redundant as that,thats sad.He looked like he was drunk,though.I used to love and respect him but if his drunk MARRIEd ass ever did that to me I'd kick him in the shin.

  • have you not listened to him when he sings the acoustic versions of their songs?

    he is an amazing singer.

  • Thats what electronics are for... and I think its pointless to listen to lives on the computer it sounds worse and theres none of the excitement of being there...

  • Great band, great music, great people!

  • @Matthew77 Great girls, XP

  • I like it! And Chris is just as beautiful as ever (no pun intended)

  • I don't like it. xD

    Stabbing Westward is way different. This sounds too mainstream.

  • Mainstream? I am sure that you have heard the Garbage that is currently marketed as "Rock Music" (some Punk, Emo, and other miscellaneous Bullshit).

  • exactly what i was thinking!

  • He still sounds fucking good, this is my type of music, i was a big Stabbing Westward fan, i was kind of pissed when they broke up, SW last album was not bad, not loud enough like there other stuff, but i really like the new band, i wish fucking radio would play this kind of stuff, but they dont, thats way fucking radio sucks, they play fucking shit music, lol, but The Dreaming is good stuff, people need to listen......

  • This is an AWSOME band

  • I saw these guys live at the Whiskey last month after my motley little band played. These guys were alright. I was expecting more from their guitarists, but realized after the second song it was all too industrial. Not my style of music. I wont rag on them because I still respect their style, but I do have on thing to say about one of their guitarist: HE NEEDS TO LEARN TO TONE IT DOWN A NOTCH! It's cool when you jump around the stage, but not when you fall off! lol

  • I dont care what people think, i think the new band sounds fucking good, i love hearing new music, how many albums do they have out???

  • just one, they're making another one though

  • I can't understand how this is emo?

    He basically singing about relationships being torn, breaking apart or hatred. And also, i think the SW was a great band, they had their moments to shine and they did. When they broke up, Chris still searched for the light, he hasn't yet gotten there but he is damn near close. And also, if you don't like the music what's the point listening to it and then bitch about it, if you want to bitch about keep it to yourself, you attention seeking whores!

  • You know why SW broke up? Chris defintely has the best voice! With some good songs and some luck hel get far!

  • They broke up because they argued about the way the sound on next release after Stabbing Westward would have sounded. I think maybe Andy wanted a more Industrial sound on that album and Chris wanted a more rockier sound, probably something like that, only a thought thou

  • @HAW112 It's actually pretty much the other way around. Andy wrote the poppier songs and controlled the softer sound on self-titled, while Chris and Walter wanted to return to SW roots more industrial ala Ungod. Andy is a good drummer, certainly technically speaking, and he had a few good songs, but he also pretty much tore the band apart. Love The Dreaming, but the one thing that's missing a bit is the role that Walter played.

  • omg lol. I saw these guys at Sonic yesterday and they looked out of place with their little Van and a mini-wagon thing on the back lol.

  • His music really progressed. I like it better the stabbing westward.

  • is that the same chick from the video of So Far Away?

  • Christopher Hall

    Im gay becouse of he xD hahahaha

    sorry for my eng

  • I like SW and I like The Dreaming after listening to a few of their songs I referred SW's sound more, but Chris' voice seems to me a bit better in this band, it's a bit more take command, but it still has his style in it I first heard Save Yourself by SW when I was what 7 maybe? anyhow, it really stuck in my head, and I uncovered the band again recently and found he made this band so I checked it out, but SW is gone The Dreaming is still here, so yeah, kinda like NIN, but not really... good

  • damn I had this demo a long time ago

    I liked it better. I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but the demo sounded more raw like SW stuff :(

  • You can get this same version on itunes!...its on the soundtrack to elektra:the album! Just bought it for a buck!

  • This song is called "Ugly" not "Beautiful". Stabbing Westward was better but I still love this band. Everyone should get thier CD!

  • its ugly know but before it was beautiful they just didnt update it i think they know

  • its still funny that the noobs that barely started listening to the dreaming still have no idea who SW is lmao...

  • IM going to agree with you 100 percent..

  • did you just say noobs....

    lololol

  • hahah i know, people at my work are like who the fuck are these guys lol. and they loved stabbing westward.

  • no disrespect but the dreaming is not as good as stabbing westward. Lost his edge but still sharp enough to cut.

  • I think eveyone needs to face fact that SW is dead and gone. I love SW but its gone...stop comparing this band to them and accept that chris still writes amazing songs. This is not SW no but its still damn good. Just accept it for what it is. If it wasnt Chris and it was some other singer than i believe that people would love it but because SW had such a following of die hards they cant give this a chance. And its sad..

  • Loved SW. Good to see Chris is still at it.

  • please can you lisin to the song and if you dont like it the fuck off and lisin to your crap rap yu twats evey one has ther own tase in music and im starting to get pissed of at you cunts so fuck off if you dont like it and if you do like it then just lisin

  • I saw them open a show with Displaced at the Masquerade for FLAW.. this was hands down the weakest fucking band live. They all looked like trannies with terrible guy-liner and black and blonde hair flat ironed and teased. The lamest cocksucking faces they all made in between sets.. pure garbage. I had to see if it was just as bad in their official video and the answer is "almost". Fuck this sound and everything it stands for. I wish god was real so he could smite these queefs. May they die soon.

  • you are awesome and i agree with you completely

    except the part about them being queefs, they are actually ANAL queefs

  • cool song!

  • Fucking AWsomeeeeeee song!!!! I love it! x

  • "ABSOLUTELY agree :( this is EMO MARKETED. It's not the music I hate, it's this lame emo image - Chris has pretty much sold out his artistic crediblity now and is an industry whore trying to grab some cash. Breaks my heart" ~ well said!

  • Mmm computer guy in this vid is tasty looking. XD

  • it sounds like emo ...wtf happend to stabbing westward ?:(

  • ABSOLUTELY agree :( this is EMO MARKETED. It's not the music I hate, it's this lame emo image - Chris has pretty much sold out his artistic crediblity now and is an industry whore trying to grab some cash. Breaks my heart.

  • but this is fuckin' SAD :(

  • Great Video and I only hope that they make one for "Let it Burn."

  • People shut up how stabbing westward is better and blah blah.

    Heres a fact. Chris CREATED stabbing westward that was his mix of music. That was his creation.

    Does this make a big difference that he decided to create another band.

    Like i love stabbing westward... But this to me is still the same sh*t.

  • You mean cynical, right?

    Stabbing Westward is the better band, but Chris' voice has greatly improved from the SW's days.

  • english mother fucker... do you speak it?

  • Im very disappointed with this project... I loved stabbing westward..this doesnt do chris hall justice

  • I LOVED Stabbing Westward, but you have to admit that Chris has an awesome voice, besides this song ROCKS!

  • I never knew Chris was in a new band until like today ha

    Anyhow this is ok, but nothing will be as great as Stabbing Westward's first three albums. When you got such a distinctive/inventive and heavy sound like that and go completely in another direction (ie. the s/t) it is hard to embrace it.

  • My Brother filmed this music video... he is good friends with the band!

  • Miss SW...they had more....power

  • I AGREE!

  • ME 2

  • no doubt sw was awesome, love their songs... but the dreaming aint to shabby ya know?

  • i agree

  • ME 2

  • stabbing westward definatly better but this is catchy and i still love his voice...although he looked better before and could he have picked an uglier bitch for this video?

  • yes theres plenty of uglier girls in the world..lol

  • This ROCKS! I miss Stabbing Westward though...

    Oh well, this is equally as cool!

  • the band kicks ass and i love there CD oh and the song is called ugly not Beautiful i'm not trying to be a bitch or any thing just thought you would like to know unless you all reayd knew

  • the song is Ugly (Beautiful), and it was on the soundtrack to the movie Elektra where it was only known as Beautiful, the Dreaming then re-recorded that song and titled it Ugly (Beautiful)

  • Amazing song, too bad the band hasn't been signed to a record label yet, come on you corporate idiots, look whats around you, The Dreaming gets over 2 million views on their myspace page a day, so 2 million fans already, 2 million copies of their album would be sold. Meaning more money, they should think more

  • Ayone here know why SW split? Seemed like they were gonna get a real breakthrough with so far way?

  • Anyone who describes them as "the new Stabbing Westward" is either an idiot or never listened to Stabbing Westward. This song is more like SW than most of their The Dreaming's new stuff, but the majority of their new stuff doesn't resemble SW at all either musically or lyrically.

  • ill agree musically but lyrics are still chris being chris

  • i saw these guyz in milwaukee they are pretty good good luck guyz

  • Great song!! Chris is still great! Not as good as in SW but still great!!!

    The vid is not very good, though, but the song!! It's great!!

  • Its amazing how different chris sounds between this and Ungod. At least the song still sounds good.

  • This is truly fucking sad, I really enjoyed stabbing westward so much. It just shows that he was in it for completely the money. Now he's emo!!?

  • i know, where did chris go!?

    he looks great both ways though, the the music from SW was GENUINE!!!!

  • NO SHIT! That's what I said. I mean, he looked

    WAY better before, and he was better off in SW, but apparently that wasn't good enough for him...

    :(

  • NIN drummer!!!

  • thats not the NIN drummer. By the by, The Dreaming is amazing on a different level than SW, you can't really compare them.

  • ROFLMAO!!! omfg u fucking shitty dumbfuck retard!!!! THE DREAMING IS STABBING WESTWARD U DUMBFUCK AND THE DRUMMER IS FROM NIN!!! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • Hah! I think your comment displays your mental capacity so I will avoid pointing out your ignorance, but the drummer is Johnny Haro, former Ecoline Crush and Stabbing Westward drummer, never NIN drummer.  Dork.

  • hmmm, weird, on the internet i found information that the dreaming was just stabbing westward it didnt say that stuff. sorry

  • god so glad that chris started a new band... its just like stabbing westward! WOO

  • imho, their basicly the new stabbingwestward

  • man i want this somg lol XD

  • Oh Chris Hall - I really like this song, but he's a bit old to be rocking out with jail bait in this vid.

    Oh who am I kidding? I'd probably still sleep with him. He's so awesome on stage.

  • Probably?

    Psht, I would.

  • Go to The Dreamings myspace page They are on tour till april. Look up a show near you and go support them. THEY WILL EVEN HANG OUT WITH YOU. I saw them on Feb. 15th and got pics with them

  • I love this song. It does reming me of Stabbing Westward!

  • I really miss stabbing westward, this song is okay, but ungod owned

  • ungod from 1992, wow, you must be old:p

  • I guess that makes me old too!:-D I also thought it owned,a s well as WBB&P and Darkest Days.

  • hmm... this is the first song i'v heard by Christopher Hall's new band, and this song sounds ok, but this video lacks in originality. i wonder how their other songs sound. i'm gonna check em out right now

  • the new music from The Dreaming is cool but this vid is terrible. Seems cheaply made. I think this song is on their album so maybe they'll make a better vid for this song.

  • I like "the dreaming". It is good to see Christopher Hall performing music again, He has a great, original voice...I find this video kind of boring but the song is pretty good.

  • Stabbing westward was industrial metal and the dreaming is more like alternative metal or emo/hard rock. They are both really good bands. My personal favorite is stabbing westward.

  • Hey Guitargod, are you just randomly going through Dreaming and SW vids to spread propaganda? I don't know Christopher Hall and in all probability will never know him. So why would I care what your opinion of him is? I just like the songs...

  • I'm a diehard SW fan, however The dreaming is pretty awesome band which is better than alot of stuff out there.

  • Personally, I think his overall look was more appealing in Stabbing Westward.

  • Stabbing Westward's dead. Chris is emo.  Still pretty rocking, although I do like industrial somewhat better.
