TESSERACT - April (LYRIC VIDEO)

[@XtremeKillah101]

oh cool tesseract did a cover of kmacs song

[@Vall619]

Tbh i prefer the original

[@VioletAOP416]

Yeah I mean kmac did a nice version but it’s not one of those times where you can act like he did better than the original. Dan’s just got the perfect interpretation of this song, especially with the grit he adds to his voice in the latter half.

[@Vall619]

@@VioletAOP416 yeah, you're right. But if it wasn't for his cover, i wouldn't know TesseracT, so i am happy he did it

[@alex2alven]

I knew of the band but never gave them a chance until kmac made me come here...

[@amonronin8759]

The man kmac brought me here.....heard his and had to hear this....very noice

[@joebell859]

this song is actually really dark considering how softly it hits the ear. its still an absolute masterpiece. I love the part where he says "ill never say a word of this. I swear" the instrumental part that corresponds with these lyrics always sends chills up my spine

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

For those who don't know, this song is about sexual abuse. Dan Tompkins was a policeman, and this song is based on one of the criminals he faced ;)

[@Hellion6325]

he was a policeman? .____.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

Yep :P

[@Hellion6325]

do you have source on thislol

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

Hellion6325 There was an interview in which Amos stated that Dan was a policeman and that April is based on one of his experiences :P Unfortunately, I don't remember the website :/

[@sleepmakeswavesband]

Damn TesseracT have so much awesome potential. You don't just hear djent in this, you hear Crimson, Floyd, Tool - they're pushing for those same heights as the greats. So exciting it is just the beginning of their career and I can't wait to see where these guys are in a couple of years.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

this aged well! You guys are awesome as well! Been a fan of both you and Tess for years now, keep up the great work!

[@limpan95951]

@@franlovelsimic8421 Lol same here. I was surprised to see this comment. :)

[@looksirdroids9134]

Djent isn't a genre

[@HaroldnolikeGerald]

I hear abuse and domestic violence unfortunately

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

​@@HaroldnolikeGeraldyeah cause thats the theme of the song Genius, it's bassed on a real case the singer encountered on his former years as a police officer

[@briangriffin2829]

"I live tonight through methadone highs." Wow! I was on methadone maintenance for 5 years. I listened to this mind-blowing band almost every day for the last year, on the way TO and FROM the methadone clinic. TesseracT has moved me emotionally ever since I first heard them. Synergy?? maybe....

[@ernestof6697]

Nursing student and fellow Tesseract lover here. Just read your comment and it peaked my curiosity from a professional point of view. Looking for real-world input on the shit im learning about. Im aware its two years late, but how is life post methadone treatment? any changes in daily life? habits? cravings? appreciate the input man, and godspeed to you

[@ngaromakiparata7284]

Hey I just turned 24, have been off methadone for almost a year after 3 years mmt + 3 years of downtown use prior. It hasn't been going very good, my friends gave up on me while I was still on it, my family aren't very supportive, and I have had 3 major accidents ( broken left radius, right elbow, and fractured spine) but I am eating healthy, have most range of motion back and start uni in 6 days studying classical composition with piano so hopefully I meet some more friends there. I think a huge thing you guys should do is try and get your patients to eat enough healthy food and drink plenty of water, as well as exercise; It's made all the difference in my recovery. But yeah I do think about opiates every hour of my life and drink 3-5 bottles of red a week. Just try to stay compassionate and push your patients forward as my case managers were stuck in the 9-5 drudgery mentality (not trying to take the blame away from myself). Let me know if you want to hear my music or read anything I've written. Ciao

[@chickenpermission1656]

@@ngaromakiparata7284 I'd love to hear some of it man

[@fmilton20]

I know it's 4 years later. Hope you made it through the fog Brian.

[@HerrSheeps]

Stay strong, brothers. If in doubt, music will get you through. I wish you both well.

[@thedebapriyakar]

Thanks Kmac. You're a god.

[@badgirlshoney5893]

His voice is quite angelic 😊

[@scottsmith8162]

This music makes my brain secrete serotonin.

[@Remy_o0]

This song always touches me. Still one of their best songs in my opinion.

[@montyparata3507]

Absolute fucking masterpiece. This band has helped me through years of suffering with addiction and depression and i always come back. Love these guys ❤

[@adam872]

This is terrific. Really atmospheric and menacingly heavy at the same time. The clean guitar playing is fantastic.

[@stevenhunt1648]

Wow this sounds a lot like Karnivool.. I've listened to a lot of TesseracT but never this and the similarity's surprising! I like it

[@DeathDelver]

I was here before kmac, but i now have a greater appreciation since kmac. ❤

[@erictalbot723]

3:08 to 3:45 my god that groove!!! so much groove!!!!

[@twinny_mi]

Anyone coming from Kmac I love his cover so much but I can never get enough of Daniel Tompkin's voice. I wouldn't say I prefer the cover as much as I respect it

[@downfabio]

..soft and djently.. This is the genre of Tesseract

[@nicopillay4059]

The juxtaposition of writing beautiful music and singing painfully dark lyrics over it. Also Thanks Kmac for bringing us here

[@freezingmoon5663]

This is devastatingly beautiful

[@lullabies2violaine]

I freaking love this song. This is a masterpiece.

[@ffta707]

♥ItsKara♥ 5 minute long masterpiece... hmmm.... yeah... not possible. good song though

[@lullabies2violaine]

ffta707 IT'S A MASTERPIECE. :C

[@auracle6184]

ffta707 What, in your opinion, is the minimum length of a song for it to be considered acceptable?

[@mealfortwo6932]

+ffta707 4:49 masterpiece actually :)

[@thedudeabides]

Progressive Music is still alive!

[@derekcx]

Here is the wikipedia version: "Djent is an 'underground' genre of Heavy Metal. The word "djent" is an onomatopoeia for a heavily palm-muted, distorted guitar chord. It is considered to have been inspired by tech-metal band Meshuggah. Typically, the word is used to refer to music that makes use of this sound, to the sound itself, or to the scene that revolves around it. Its meaning is the subject of much debate, and there is some controversy in regards to its classification as a new subgenre"

[@606867]

Soft and Djently

[@jennifergreathouse4128]

Always my favorite part :)

[@KarthikSankaran]

"I live tonight through methodone highs" Beautiful vocals right there! I'm glad Daniel is back with Tesseract!

[@ben156]

This song got me through some hard times... Not even a djent/prog guy either. Here I am, back here after 4+ years of not hearing this song. Still has the same impact.

[@spacemonkeyzass]

Can't say I have a favorite song on the album. There are so many awesome songs. But, as with most the others..THIS ROCKS.

[@PieroMinayaRojas]

Reminds me of The Last Vigil by Meshuggah

[@CurtisCCoomber]

Seeing these guys tonight!

[@CurtisCCoomber]

They were awesome!

[@TrotskysBeard1917]

Seen them supporting Karnivool. Both bands are great live.

[@lolh4x]

I saw them with BTBAM and Animals As Leader, it was the best show I've ever been to.

[@littlefatdozer]

You can compare them to whoever you like but to me, they have their own sound, and that sound is fresh and awesome.

[@blackberrybunny]

I love this song. Just learned of this band. I don't care for their other songs, too metal for me, but this song, THIS SONG MOVES ME. So thank you to whoever made this video for supplying the lyrics and the graphics. It just made it mean that much more to me. Thank you.

[@blackberrybunny]

He's not? I didn't know that. The singer is what made this song so good!

[@mejte]

If this song moves you, then their album called Altered State is gonna make you fly, believe me. (Today's news: their previous singer, Dan, is back)

[@blackberrybunny]

I will check it out, thank you!! I knew that had a couple of albums, but I didn't know which one would cater to me the way this song did. ;-) I didn't know their singer had left and returned. Is there a story behind that?

[@mejte]

Molly A. Block in their statement the reason for parting ways with their current singer, Ashe, was that 'they had found theirselves in different places, creatively', whatever that means.

[@jamesjay159]

He's back with the band.

[@woundedcrow4606]

[@DF59821]

The first 17 seconds really, REALLY reminds me of 'The Last Vigil' by Meshuggah. Anyone???

""A deep engrained lust for possession Modern sundowns break me I like to watch things burn down soft and gently I need to watch her abused 'til I'm satisfied Never... never See tonight through bloodshot eyes I'll wait 'til you can see me here Left so long alone Undressed tonight forsaken skin You mean nothing nothing No you mean nothing to me Won't you feel bad while you're trashing out? Makes me feel sick to know she's had enough Time and time again You see tonight through bloodshot eyes You mean nothing nothing No you mean nothing at all I'll never say a word of this I swear I swear Never... never I hope you know I live tonight through methadone highs This life is over""
