Dance Gavin Dance - Variation

[@DGDfan13]

When Jon screams and Tilian sings the same lyrics simultaneously is ridiculously good

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

It gives me chills, so good

[@DGDfan13]

Perfect band. Every album

[@illunis2355]

Datkidwiththestuff Incredible right?

[@DGDfan13]

dying. I've had this album on replay since they started streaming it haha

[@kymea10]

When they perform this song and they're simultaneously Singing I need to them to be staring each other dead in the eye.

[@TheChevre94]

This album is ridiculous, I don't think there is even a best song on it. They're all too good.

[@LaMereACaniche]

TheChevre94 Man I couldn't agree more, I usually listen to 2-3 songs on repeat but.. I've got the entire thing on repeat, if I really had to pick a favorite, I'd either pick variation, lost or awkward.

[@rebelkillswitch]

TheChevre94 well put

[@KareVSimms]

TheChevre94 I completely agree. None of the songs are weak. There are some I like more than others, but I cannot skip a song. They're all too great.

[@RayStunnaaa]

TheChevre94 ugh that's my problem I keep trying to pick a favorite but they're all my favorite. Like it's impossible to even pick lmao

[@camarosforcharlie]

There's actually only two good songs on it

[@rewcow]

1:33 This album is insane.

[@xM4XvPA1Nx]

Just got to that part and yes.

[@TheCharlieChitty]

If you're still not happy with Tillian after he was easily able to run alongside Mess with the same fierceness he has, then I'm pretty sure you just don't enjoy being happy.

[@iamemilyperry]

I couldn't agree more

[@TheSupernastee]

Charlie Chitty agreed

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

I enjoyed Tilian on Acceptance Speech and he really reinforces my opinion that he's a perfect fit in DGD. However... He far exceeds my opinion of his work in the band and cranks it way past 11 on this record. I feel THiS is their best record, musically, lyrically, and all sonic aspects. Tilian is just flawless on this and I'm really hoping he's a permanent fixture in DGD!

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

Jon's leaving?! Where did you hear/read this?! I hope not!!!

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

I don't think he says he's leaving, the closest to that he states is not wanting to be in the band forever if they're going nowhere in the music industry. I hope I'm not missing something here, I really don't wanna see Jon leaving again

[@aforanthony27]

I am a person that has outgrown this type of music. Ive moved on to more of an indie genre type of music. But i will always be in love with DGD. They never let me down. I hope this band never cease to exist.

[@getfunnyordiebombing]

How do you move on from a genre you must be listening to the wrong groups or something

[@abrahamharris310]

aforanthony27 I'm mostly the same. There's a handful of heavy bands i still like but DGD will probably always be a mainstay especially if they keep going in this direction.

[@gustavodeharo]

I feel you on that. Seems like most bands get really generic with their sound and lyrics after one or two albums. Not these guys, though.

[@getfunnyordiebombing]

It's all about that blue swan family and a handful of other great hardcore bands

[@LaMereACaniche]

Matt Franco For me, it's all about blue swan and A lot like birds. then I just listen to some of this and some of that. And yet my favorite band is Radiohead, go figure.

[@holdenhorvath1143]

After reading the comments on every song in this album, I've found 1 guy that dislikes this, and I've found zero comparisons to jonny or kurt. It's all just been straight love for the album/band. I love it.

[@BlueHairScare]

Holden Horvath this was defintely the album that was needed to solidify tilian's spot and shut up all the haters

[@ethanharrison5169]

FUCK TILLIAN is a good singer B)

[@BrainSeepsOut]

+Holden Horvath I know, right. This album is incredible, top notch quality top to bottom. It makes Happiness and Deathstar almost unlistenable by comparison.

[@dellortgamingvidz803]

+Austin James No spot in DGD is solidified, Tillian is going out soon whether you like it or not. He himself said there's no such thing as a permanent DGD singer.

[@dellortgamingvidz803]

***** Of course, I meant clean vocalist spots.

[@lil_microwave]

Saw Tilian say on a livestream that Tim wrote the breakdown at 2:42 had to come give it a listen. RIP Legend.

[@TheiTzBros]

That grungy intro. The heavier parts with Jon Mess's screams are amazing. Go DGD

[@TreverEdward]

This whole album is amazing, but this song is definitely a favorite. That chorus with Tillian and Jon is too good.

[@TreyDZd]

that intro was killer. This my be my favorite song off this album besides We Own The Night

[@rebelkillswitch]

TreyDZd YES we own the night! genius song

[@Hyperhydron]

3:15 just gonna leave this here

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

2:40 to the end has become maybe my favorite thing dgd has done. Mess is nuts. “Done by my HAAAAAANDDDD”

[@JiuJitsuTrashcan]

Jon and Tilian really work amazing together and this song they really really cut deep, their simultaneity on the chorus elicits the most emotionally haunting and chilling sensation out of everything they've ever done

[@aidanscovers]

More than a year later still under rated.

[@swirle13]

well, its clearly rated somewhere around 98% liked, so I'd say you're wrong. It's clearly highly rated.

[@aidanscovers]

477k views is not a lot in comparrison to other bands even in the same genre.

[@kaelanmcdowell4543]

I mean this is the best song on the album in most people opinion. I think shark dad and the cuddler are pretty under rated in my opinion

[@emmarose2636]

I just found them and I fell in love with this song.

[@seth_capaldi]

5 years later still underrated

[@ignorantrelish]

This shit is powerful, i'm gonna say right now this might just be my favorite DGD song of all time.

[@jannananaa]

I blasted this last night while the sun was setting with my windows rolled down...it was a beautiful thing. So glad I have this album!

[@layplustfm5089]

try it when the sun is rising i cried it wa so beautiful

[@jannananaa]

@@layplustfm5089 word fam

[@benanonnimous9776]

I think this is the most serious feeling song DGD has ever made. This is really intense.

[@axy4714]

People You Know, definitely the most serious song.

[@kierhatch7322]

No doubt my favorite on the album! so groovy and im always shouting the chorus!

[@Titanner666]

You're always shouting the chorus? Didn't this song just drop? lol

[@kierhatch7322]

exactly dude I have a problem

[@RazorXXTreme]

Kier Hatch I don't see any problem, my friend.

[@Sn00chieb00chies]

Same

[@johnathancerda8976]

Yup song is just too sick!! Thats my problem

[@ibytepopsicles2312]

This song is what hooked me on these guys. The part where jon screams and tilians voice is in the background was just perfect to my ears

[@999sk1]

3:16 - 3:59 daaaaaaaaaamn

[@henrystp]

Don't know how anyone can hate on Tilian. Crazy vocals.

[@leahbeckie3565]

Best song on the album

[@kierhatch7322]

without a doubt! but eagle vs crows is epic as well

[@sneakyprawnn5239]

Kier Hatch and death of a strawberry!!!!

[@rebelkillswitch]

Kier Hatch eagle vs crows is bloody genius

[@Sbthegod]

but Lost is amazing and legend is too catchy too many good songs on this album

[@kierhatch7322]

Cesar Flores no bro variation or legend

[@cocobarbarian1510]

Rise records putting out dance Gavin dance new album made me so happy!!!

[@baseballhaha]

This whole album is critically underrated

[@Sidd-YouTube]

1933 days past, 3 albums released... And it's still my favorite song! Beat that

[@VulKard]

easy one of my favorite songs in my playlist

[@nVBlur]

seriously the best song from tilian

[@JustiNation]

That note he hits is ridiculously high for a man, I love it!

[@xUnknownProductionsx]

Oh my god @ 2:42

[@etrujillo152]

That part gave me an eargasm

[@no-qw4lz]

That part makes me headbang so hard it's not even funny, i love that part

[@jaxbixon7204]

such a soothing song I lov this band and I am just a kid

[@hopiecurry]

This is the first song from Dgd i listened to and its my favorite and i love it so muchhhh

[@lifehertz-]

2:42 the gutiar and jon mess life complete

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

So amazing!!!!

[@RiasLight]

Realist lyrics ever put together.

[@uph0ria480]

after years of listening to DGD, this album brings a new vibe while keeping the dgd roots. Forever a fan

[@Chiodos109]

I'm disappointed they won't be playing this live on the tour. This would be something else to experience live.

[@itsdholi]

Chiodos109 THEY'RE NOT? WHAT THE HELL

[@hannahdean6694]

They mostly did their old stuff but it was still a fucking awesome show c:

[@itsdholi]

Hannah Dean Yeah i went to the Massachusetts date i was so pleased

[@chromadreamcoat]

One of the best songs Dance Gavin Dance has ever made. Hands Down.

[@kevinhall1272]

dance gavin dance puts me in such a better mood they're really one of the my favorite bands of all time everything they do is perfection

[@phill1583]

Been listening since Zoloft. As long as Mess is screaming and Swan is ripping I will continue to listen. And love.

[@JustSomeDamnGinger]

I have to admit, dealing with a shift in sound again was jarring, and this album took me a while to really like, but this song really sealed it. The chorus is just fucking addictive.

[@JeffeiShred]

This is definitely my favorite song not just on the album, but in general right now. Too much awesome on this album.

[@0joeyw]

That chorus just made this my song/album of the year. Holy crap!!

[@skippy7865]

This might be my favourite Dance Gavin Dance song to date

[@jeremydelancey78]

thank god I finally got around to listening to new DGD, my face is melted. Whole album is easily in the top 3 best albums they've ever done, and I especially love how there's like zero hate in the comments, as crazy as that is. So much love

[@crzymanjones1]

To me, this album changes the whole game im every aspect. I know there's lots of haters, but to me there isn't one thing wrong with this album. Near perfection!

[@joelvillanueva3550]

I love Dance Gavin Dance. I barley discovered this genre of music maybe 2 years ago. Its mind b lo blowing

[@BlueHairScare]

that slight southern metal twinge jon throws in at 2:52 is so badass. his flow is perfect in this album

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

Yeah I am obsessed with that part!

[@uhokai]

Hands down my favorite song on this album

[@GarrisonHunt]

Everything you could want in a song

[@bagirassegaff4099]

one of the best chorus with cleans and screams i have ever heard!

[@heatherg1983]

two years later and it still sounds like the first time :)

[@jennashirley172]

THEY ARE SLAYING WITH THIS ALBUM

[@SilversteinRescue]

This song is seriously unbelievable. Goes sooo hard.

[@OrmondBeachSkatepark]

One of my favorite songs on the album

[@JUIC3MYMOOSE]

Omg all songs just drop holy THANK YOU RISE RECORDS

[@damonbaird1173]

Too good, favorite track along with lost right after. 10/10

[@gleds92]

Loving all the positivity in the comments! I think DGD are doing a great job of pulling our strings... Acceptance Speech: Tilian accepts the position of lead soft vocals. Instant Gratification: DGD immediately make all their fans happy with their new direction.

[@absolutfx]

Holy Shit. This song actually made me feel a breakdown which I've never really felt with DGD ever. Thank you friends

[@Leekcorp]

Two seconds in and it had already become one of my favourite songs ever.

[@iAMiRex27]

Underrated song

[@Yervy]

Tillian & Jon doing the gang vocals sounds so awesome

[@dismonarch5634]

The transitions sound phenomenal

[@spartaan1181]

I hate that I didn't find these guys till a couple weeks ago! So many songs I could have been listening to!

[@athenaland6093]

My brother got me into them a couple months back and now we're going to see them at Warped Tour, I am so happy and excited

[@jcloudy8508]

This album will practically be all im listeni.g to this month

[@krazygirl700]

I keep trying to listen to the whole album but for some reason I always end up back here to this song

[@Will_of_Asgore]

I literally only heard the first 6 seconds of this song and hit the like button. DGD, you guys are amazing.

[@MrExiled91]

Can't stop wont stop been on repeat since its release idc what people say about it its the best album so far!

[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-3116]

Most underrated song on Instant Grat for sure!

[@rodrigorigaud3259]

Am I the one addicted to this song? It sounds amazing!

[@rawabatman1822]

me too

[@pikman911]

no, im hooked also

[@boof0569sm]

I love this song and love this band. I saw them live the other night with The Contortionist. Such an epic show.

[@RoyBelmont]

Does this song count as a drug?

[@RukiD_]

I just recently stumbled upon this band and this song alone has got it in my top 5 favorite bands of all time

[@mraudiss]

Jon's lyrics during the breakdown are about self pleasuring himself.

[@xTreyray]

Best band I've ever fucking heard. Been addicted for 3 years. I'm hoping for a few more albums. Please lol. These guys changed my view of music they're fucking rad.

[@JimIntegrity]

So hard to pick a favorite song off this record. Too good.

[@ethanoliver1874]

This song is all around, perfect and always gives me goosebumps!

[@tayerose2080]

in love with this whole album.

[@Swansen03]

Tilian.. is talking about the life of the soul and what humans do typically in our society... "We lie cold Damn up the river we can go slow We don't wanna know Dull down our senses Become numb" we push our souls from our bodies so we no longer feel, just an empty ego in a body. River, the flowing of life through us, metaphorically. "Under indecision We become so dependent On the rush of the moment Sanitize my head" which then leads into a situation like this, where we are never sure truly of our decisions, but constantly look to some exhilarating experience to 'escape' to, aka, the rush of the moment, could be anything, even a movie. "We take our time Ignoring all the signs Living in fear of our lies Never bad enough to break it or good enough to feel right Been in overtime half our lives " this is mostly literal.. we have plenty of signs telling us to do otherwise, but, we are to scared or attached to senseless things and ignore what we feel, the 'signs', and, therefore, live in fear of what we are, and our lives. in 'overtime' burning ourselves up for no reason. this type of thing is a common theme among music, but you know, i guess that should be obvious as a creative expression of one's being.

[@troubledrainy978]
