I love how this song leaves everyone speechless. I love watching dgd reactions it's make me so happy. Thanks for keeping it up with them Hahahahaha Un abrazo desde España.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

It’s a good one! ¿Eres de España?

[@rafamorales8388]

@@SeanStaxxMusic yeaah all the way from the South of Spain, from Seville, your content is getting even here broo hahahaha

[@RushStriker9]

Facts!

[@astrozach7872]

They basically make a full movie/story in their music. You go thru all of the 5 stages of a story! Exposition: Setting the scene. Rising action: Building the tension. Climax: The exciting bit. Falling action: Tidying up loose ends. Resolution: Ending the story. I cry when I get to that falling action of this song… cuz it’s so beautiful and resonant.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Gotta love all those details put into it!

[@astrozach7872]

@@SeanStaxxMusic 100%!! Personally, I find that musicianship and look for that in music taste and makes it not about genre. Just about openness and creativity! Keep doing what you’re doin! Love to see the willingness to listen to other music!

[@blackpker124]

This performance was amazing

[@FGCJodcei]

HIM IS THE BEST BAND EVER

[@HYDN150]

DGD has been my favorite band since middle school bro. I'm 25 now and still listen to their shit almost everyday. Actually geniuses' when it comes to literally anything musical.

[@cloudywithachanceoflonk5567]

they usually do a musical rollercoaster with the final song on the albumn, for all their albumns. that musical uniqueness that you are hearing, is from Will Swan, the guitarist on the right in the video. he is literally constantly writing music; fans have dubbed is music its own genre, "Swan Core" dont get me wrong, every member of this band is on another level, but Will is the big brain behind the band. im pretty sure there was a little studio magic in this. they recorded a "live albumn" but they also played this show live, im pretty sure they synced up the audio from the live albumn version with this video, i may be wrong though. ive seen them 3 times live though, and they pretty much sound just as good.

[@allenhenderson6138]

But the three drumstick clicks aren’t on the album version

[@ryanhuffman7410]

This was recorded live. I can't remember if they used any samples, but if they did it was only for stuff like violins or anything they couldn't reproduce live by themselves.

[@freedortch9278]

Honestly I'm just here for the DGD reactions and I've got to say I enjoy your reactions more than most. This song was the final track off their 2016 album, Mothership. I'd highly recommend Evaporate. It's the final track off their 2018 album, Artificial Selection. It has a breakdown at the end with this medley that references some of their older songs. I know it's a tall order but if you want to appreciate it fully, the songs it references are: Surprise I'm From Cuba Everyone Has One Brain Me And Zoloft Get Along Just Fine And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman Acceptance Speech We Own The Night Tree Village The Backwards Pumpkin Song Alex English

[@ProjectileComet]

I'm here for the DGD reactions as well. I enjoy that he goes more in-depth with things besides "this sounds cool"

[@mattbenson2034]

Evaporate for sure!

[@itzshinogaming7930]

And prisoner 🥱

[@dancedagondance861]

This is the album closer for Mothership, and it's a trademark of theirs to really save something special for the end of an album. I would definitely recommend "Turn Off the Lights, I'm Watching Back to the Future, Part 2", which is the album closer for Acceptance Speech.

[@frozenandchosen]

Yessss the best album closer!! This one is a close second for me

[@BRNardy]

Evaporate is also one hell of an album closer, especially if you're familiar with older songs!

[@ballsackniggaqueen]

Turn of the lights pt 2 is my favorite song and what got me into dgd in the first place

[@El-ingobernable]

Some people will never understand why and how good DGD is. Im glad you did. And to me personally DGD can be listened to no matter what youre doing.... driving, working, takin a shower, working out 😊 Listen to the album version even if its without a reaction. Just check it out and compare it to this one. Oh they also have Inspire The Liars on Tree Sessions React to that one lol

[@truly_I_say]

You want to check out "nothing shameful" off DGDs new album! One of their best of ALL their albums truuuust! Then id look into blue dream, evaporate, strawberry swisher pt 3, their whole mothership album.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

I love me some new DDG

[@natalieh325]

These guys have been one of my fave bands for nearly 15 years. They’re so damn good!! And this is one of my fave DGD tracks ❤️

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

So good! Inspire the liars is my fav right now

[@natalieh325]

@@SeanStaxxMusic have you checked out much of their older stuff? As much as I love Tilians vocals, imo all their clean vocalists have worked in this band. Downtown Battle Mountain 2 is my favorite album - Jonny Craig’s a dick, but there’s so many bangers on that record! Their self titled second album, also, with Kurt Travis, is amazing!!

[@pacorojas8122]

Same, I’ve been listening to them since I was 15, I’m 30 now! 😂 It’s crazy how long they’ve been around for.

[@natalieh325]

@@pacorojas8122 🤯

[@skinWalkman]

Great reaction to a fantastic song. This song deserves more credit for its lyricism than it does. Attacking both sides of having an affair is something that hit me very deep the first time I heard it. Knowing that, this song cuts that much deeper with every listen. Being able to not only feel the pain, but to understand what drives it forward.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Yea it definitely gets more meaning after a few listens

[@Materogringo]

The clean vocalist says that part of the reason for the transition music - the melody at the beginning, its something they do live between songs - is because he doesn’t love talking between songs, it gets him out of his groove and makes him anxious. He mentioned that in a recent interview he did with (i wanna say) revolver mag?

[@sarahvaldez5973]

They are the best band live! I haven’t missed one show in LA/San Diego. Worth the money the time and the energy is amazing. Speechless every time.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

They sound so good! I’d love to catch em live one day 🤘

[@sarahvaldez5973]

@@SeanStaxxMusic they are in tour now. If you follow them on Instagram they post their tour dates.

[@eyewhittness3012]

This is one of their best performances! Another amazing song off this album is Chocolate Jackalope; it's a wild ride.

[@kirsh2036]

Interesting band. Thank you for introducing this. 🖤

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

No problem! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@DatHombre]

This album actually was recorded in studio and they just recorded this on top of it. Twas confirmed.

[@_JonLeal]

You should check "Uneasy Hearts Weigh Th Most" Live to! Its a real banger!

[@coltonditsworth4586]

I second this completely

[@cameronmullins2407]

I would say what sets DGD apart is the contrast between the singers that works so well together. It’s such a catch 22. Also, please please PLEASE react to Die Another Day by them.

[@680south7]

Elder Goose by them is one of my favorite songs of all time

[@Depot608]

Elder goose slaps yo

[@jonathankenneweg5033]

Awesome reaction dude, glad you chose the live version! DGD is great live, ive seen them 5 times before and they killed it every time. You can pick any DGD album and the first and last songs on it are always bangers imo. Super hard to choose just one to recommend lol but Summertime Gladness has an incredible vibe, its super groovy!

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Nice that’s what’s up! They sound so clean live

[@dominicklima8082]

To see them live is an experience

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

I bet!

[@katmannsson]

So I literally just looked up DGD to throw their new album on in the background and tripped into your reaction videos and having been a fan of DGD since 2008 It just brings me so much joy watching people discover DGD

[@mostlybros4386]

So glad you did the live version. I've listened to this version of this song on spotify the most since the Tree City Sessions 2 album dropped. So friggin good.

[@sofiat8067]

Wow. I was feeling very anxious before I watched this video, but I focused so deeply on the song that my anxiety got lost for a minute. Definitely can relate to that you don't wanna listen to this song while working out or driving. This song is like one of those movies that you have to watch carefully or you'll miss the plot. Awesome song.

[@FalleniLy]

DGD - Blue Dream I just binged all your DGD reacts cuz theyve been my favorite band for about 10 years now. I notice that they are all Tilian era DGD, but the band has had 3 different clean vocalists over their 10+ year time as a band. The song I suggested above is their first vocalist. If Tilian is the pop, their first vocalist, Jonny, is the RnB. Def give the time.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

I’ll add it to the list! Thank you

[@voodoo2plus1]

The studio version man. You’ve got to listen to it.

[@johnwadd444]

Saw them live, sound exactly like the record if not better. Insane.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

That’s awesome! I’d love to see em

[@tophfb]

You should also checkout Bilmuri (he features on DGD song “Into the Sunset” which I also highly highly recommend) but his songs kind of utilize some trap beats blended incredibly well with the rock/post hardcore sound. His songs “lifeisgood” “postalmondclarity” and “asurprisetobesurebutawelcomeone” all have some jazzy saxophone elements thrown in that would melt your mind, no doubt. Or, “fluorideinthehardseltzerwater” features Jon Mess (DGD unclean vocals) slaps like a mf

[@El-ingobernable]

Bilmuri* I'm sure you meant to put that since the U and I keys are next to each other lol

[@tophfb]

[@bleakminded1658]

This man this is raw raw raw me yeah this guy don’t mess around he even got coaches to help him sing better while talking to myself as if I was right beside you watching the video with you 😭

[@_tokii__]

You got to do Eagles Vs. Crows, that song is criminally underrated and I believe it would be right up your alley. Please check out Turn Off The Lights, I'm Watching Back To The Future Part II, underrated as well, you'll love it.

[@EetYajKundorp]

I know this video is a little older (May 2021) but have you checked out Jonny Craig's solo stuff? He used to be the "clean" vocalist in DGD before he had some substance abuse issues and was kicked out. I think you'd really like him; he's got an old soul/R&B vibe to him. Check out "All That I've Become". Love the channel BTW!!

[@camisado92]

I saw DGD live for the first time back in May (after being a fan since their early albums) and it was just as good as I hoped it would be! They put on an amazing performance! I just wished that they could have played every single one of their songs that I like lol!

[@michaelsapp6675]

I could listen to the last section of the song on a loop for an hour straight

Self Trepanation is an experience of a song I think you’d like. It’s by DGD

[@tophfb]

Instant thumbs up, glad you went with the tree city version!

[@BRNardy]

I know you probably get overwhelmed with people suggesting other songs by then, but I couldn't help but notice that you really like Tilian's vocal runs. So with that in mind, I would suggest Deception (great runs on the intro and bridge), Chocolate Jackalope (great runs on outro, and also a small rap verse), and Lyrics Lie (great runs on bridge). Also, Eagle Vs. Crows has the guitarist Will Swan rapping as a major element of the song!

[@marcussmith5470]

[@YwKSniping]

Just to clarify as far the live or studio comments - they spent hours recording multiple takes on the bridge and then they took the best parts and made a final version- so not true live but it isnt a studio recording either take a listen to some of their true live concert stuff, its very very solid as well, tilian loses his voice a bit usually but screamo guy sounds the same as studio the whole time

[@MsArrika]

I don't watch a lot of live versions, especially the reactions because it's few and far between when the live performance does a song and the artists justice, and more so when speaking about rock music and the subgenres. They tend to be underwhelming for me to say the least. This specific performance, not a single negative point to be noted as far as I can see. Right out of the gate Tillian was on point. Personally, i could enjoy DGD sans the heavy vocals. Their instrumentals are all they need to blow your mind and then add Tillians vocal range into that mix? The heavy vocals for me are just add an uneeded element. In summary, it's safe to say DGD is severely underrated.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Spot on 💯 they’re one of the best sounding bands when it comes to live performances.

[@Kirkules44]

It’s actually not live, it’s pre-recorded in a studio. The first tree sessions record was live.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Damn 🙁

[@stevethepirate9256]

This was actually recorded live on the bridge and is not the same version from the album. Someone else said that they may have done multiple takes on the bridge, I’m not sure about that. Multiple takes would make sense since wind and other ambient noises could have been problematic. But if you compare this version to the TCS2 studio version, there are definitely some differences.

[@tehzinhu]

I don't think is 100% raw

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

i don't like this live performance because they were all really tired singing up to this point in the livestream
