BRIAN DAVID GILBERT - SEE THE DAY (LYRIC VIDEO)

[@boodles25]

What kind of mad lad makes a song in 7/4 time I love him but he is Chaotic

[@raynova8055]

Beth Woodward some say it’s 3/4 then 4/4 (every other measure)

[@apotato3334]

What cosmer ray said, and it is symbolic of the fusion between the comfortable 4/4 of the first few dance videos, but the uncomfortable 3/4 of the partner dance. It shows how he has accepted the strange with what he is good with creating.... this

[@potatoindespair4494]

You can think of it as 7/4 or as alternating 3/4 and 4/4, it's really just a matter of preference

[@apotato3334]

potatoindespair shhhh it’s fancier if you say 4/4 and 3/4. Besides what’s better than trying to look smarter than you are

[@Nannada1212]

@@apotato3334 ah, like you're doing? It's literally a song that's broken down like that based on the series BDG made. They're right. Go watch it.

[@justinmontana3710]

This song actually has a really comforting melancholy to it. Like, the feeling of the song is sad, but not in a tragic way. It's more the kind of sadness that comes a from returning to normal after a really good time; a sadness in comparison.

[@cactus_juice3217]

I think of it as the opposite; it feels to me a lot more like finally emerging from the pits of depression. Not in a hopeful way, mind you, but in a more "oh shit, I'm okay???? Damn" kinda way, if that makes any sense.

[@PhilfreezeCH]

A melancholic peacefulness maybe?

[@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice]

@@cactus_juice3217 Well I think you're BOTH right! It's about having high hopes that have left you in despair, then finally coming to a stable middle ground ready to start afresh. Which is of course the journey the protagonist takes in the series! I can't really think of a kind way to put it but it feels like "baby's first depression", that dealing with depression is new and he hasn't learned how it works yet, and it feels like it'll never end, so there's an element of surprise when it's over.

[@joelaposata3851]

I think of it as the steady but flagging sadness that comes as you heal from deep grief. The scar of it will stick with you forever, but you’ve healed and can move forward, aware of what you’ve lost and how you’ve recovered all the same.

[@blinkfilms1]

The only song that consistently makes me cry in the best way

[@maiat4876]

This song made me cry the first time and I was a fool to think it wouldn’t happen again

[@kitkatelife8014]

Especially with the art, this song reminds me how I felt at the end of a dark night I had when I went to the window to watch the sunrise. I felt a quiet little peace, and hope.

[@BlueBeetle1939]

Thought this was gonna be funny but I'm crying what a treasure BDG is

[@vexations_on_discount]

It’s even better with context, it’s part of a seven part series called “Dances Moving”

[@wyvernscale9634]

I keep coming to this song. I don't exactly know what it is, but I keep coming back, and I'll try to explain it. This song is both melancholic and supremely happy, and I don't know how it struck that cord. It has the feel of someone who just came from the worst valley in their life, still miserable, but able to see the light of day after a long, dark night. It's the feeling after a grand adventure, when you're settling back into normal, but the peaks and valleys of your journey still echoe in the back of your mind like the old ghosts of a story told long ago. It's the feeling of listening to a song written in 7/8, basically

[@calyneedshelp7228]

I love this song so much, it gives me so much joy every time I listen to it. Thank you for making this 😊

[@pizzachu2281]

I'm fairly sure I have a form of seasonal depression; it's really hard for me during the colder months. This song, in both its warmth of sound and meanings of its lyrics is the same feeling when I get out of that 4-month funk. It's so... clear. Like if the sky itself was replaced with an oil painting of the sunrise, feeling the ambient warmth of a summer but with the coolness coming off of the lake.

[@ari638]

I know this comment is a year old but I just wanted to say I know exactly how you feel. It's so good when spring hits, but it's not worth the struggle of winter. Anyway, I came here to say that it's worth trying some remedies out, they're cheap and help me enormously, winters went from a time where I could barely feed myself and keep clean to a time where I feel a bit less happy than other seasons. I settled on a SAD lamp (around £20 for the cheapest) and some vitamin D supplements (couple quid for a bottle of 60), but see what works for you! It is well worth trying them out to make half your year easier

[@NotIMPOSSABLANK]

i just realized how great this song would be to cover with how simple it is

four years is a little bit late but do you have a high definition version of the background? it looks beautiful. The song is beautiful too; one of my favorites of all time also: thank you for directing me to the bandcamp version of this song! I've always been somewhat partial to the original Dances Moving version as opposed to the one in the Silo album on spotify, but I could never find the full version!

theory: the song’s time signature (7/4) is a reference to episode one where brian says the step touch works in counts of four with the step touch sorta representing his life before the move or probably his relationships with friends and his love interest

[@dijjidog]

the song was made by the altogether band not just bdg
