Dear and the Headlights - Daysleeper

[@derrickohdamn]

Last time I saw them, I yelled for them to play it even though they never do. Ian broke his guitar string, and then without hesitation, busted out Daysleeper. It was pretty magical. I may be the only person who's seen it live.

You're not bud

[@kayannaknight5565]

They'll always be lovely

[@elliedavies8184]

DominicDeAngelis came from your story hahah

[@shelbysmith3316]

I remembered every lyric like it was just yesterday 🥺

[@PO-si4ty]

Yes!

[@chocolatemilkhotel96]

Dath has super uplifting songs and so intensely sad songs. Theyre one of the rare bands who can perfectly capture these two extremes. I just hope the happy songs came after the sad ones. I hope all band members are living happy lives. Theyve brought me so much clarity and love!

I may get old, but this one won't.

[@jillian6845]

i really never know how to put it but this band keeps me alive. my anxiety tears me apart every day but their music can just magically calm me down. i hope they come back some day.

[@cicirenee2530]

pls, add on spotify, pls pls pls. found this song decade ago and I want to have it pop up on shuffle every, damn, day.

[@CarrieCMP2012]

The most gut-wrenching song I've ever heard. God dammit I love it. I'll never forget this band

Listening in 2020. Still one of my favorite songs ever. The intensity. 👏👏👏

[@criminon_]

Listening in 2022, still after all these years.

[@Straton_of]

still pretty good in 2024

[@pookie061197]

Dear and the headlights will forever be amazing. Amazing lyrics along with music. I very much wish i could say keep up the good work. Too bad they aren't together. At least this way we all will cherish their albums they do have.

[@mickeymoru]

I haven't head a band this good in a while, it's nice to hear good music. I've known them for a while and usually I'll go through phases where they're all i listen to. Then i abruptly stop, but the things is that I always end up coming back to them. They're just that amazing

[@MindyJoyNutterYoung]

One of my favorite DatH songs. Talk about goosebumps.

[@KittyCatComa]

I can't believe it's been almost 20 years. One of the best bands ever created.

[@LarxIIhelps]

And them not being a band makes me so sad. Makes me wonder what could of became of them and how many songs they haven't made that could make me feel feelings I usually don't feel.

[@randypipesh9912]

Ian and Mark made a new band called “The Gentle Hits”

[@haylecouch1306]

Not the same as they use to be though .... their lyrics and sound was on a completely different level than most bands during this time.

[@niallaptz]

This song gets me every time.

[@niallaptz]

Kill my heart...I'll fix it up

[@PsychosisFire]

Can't find this anywhere on Spotify! Really annoying. Thanks for posting on here though, love this song.

[@MessiahNerves]

[@liberalus0]

absolutely adore this song. love how he comes back and screams.

[@racmarjim]

Not a day goes by without me listening to DATH.

[@cicious]

This song just never gets old. It's just so gooood n_n

[@rustyrim17]

definition of a rarity. definition of perfection. thanks DATH yet again.

[@deonzoss]

R.I.P. dear and the headlights. one of my favorite bands of all time. its a shame they broke up.

[@Skirzik]

This song was squeezed from some legit lemons

[@zeek4605]

We miss you Ian. Please make more music.

[@HabibiSpice]

Pssssst check out The Gentle Hits

[@zeek4605]

@@HabibiSpice The Gentle Hits aren't the same. I need more Dear and The Headlights esque music.

[@HabibiSpice]

zeek it’s the lead singers new band and I think the drummer or bassist is also from DATH, but there’s nothing quite exactly DATH esque, trust me I wish

[@forgetnumberone3335]

So raw, not often do you hear a song that feels like this.

[@meagana8218]

I'M IN LOVE ❤ After all these years.

[@TheStoryWeLive]

swear the emotion the instruments brings is just fucking amazing, and to top off with the lyrics and the story in the lyrics just makes this song by far one of the greatest along with other just not recognized, but i like it like that :)

[@horseridinggrl54]

definitely the one of their best songs.

[@CammyPeace]

i love this, listen to it every morning.

[@mitchellejones524]

Camille Gayle-Olsberg still?

[@spicyprophetz8247]

i did too 2005-2007 now it haunts me

[@Tori_TLCR]

I've never heard of this band. I stumbled upon I'm Not Crying, You're Not Crying, Are You? and then clicked this. I'm intrigued.

[@elysiumalien]

I'm so glad I got to see them in concert once, I just wish I could once more now that they're gone

[@forrestpowell786]

Love this song, definitely one of my favorites from them.

[@idonteatcheetos]

nice. first time listen here and i came across this from a topshelf records video and to be honest i didn't expect it to be this good. i will give their other songs a listen to later

[@Calder90]

So sad that this band broke up, and I never got to see them.

[@iPeacexx22]

i adore this band and this song. :]

[@Bearslikejaimie]

Been listening to this song for 7+ years, so glad I still have it saved because it's just as good now as it was then.

[@DaSolo363]

[@captain_chaos6703]

[@huronwarriors]

Talked to the drummer last year at Warped Tour for about an hour about drums and playing in different bands and such. Great guy, pretty sure they're playing again at Warped Tour and pretty sure they'll have more people watching them than last year.

[@susanpugh9132]

Still....still my favorite.

[@PsychosisFire]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@juicegoblin5931]

She isn't trying to be inspirational, she's just expressing how this bloody good song made her feel.

[@shalama123]

[@brrittany138]

[@Iuzz85]

what a day....i was searching for something different.... and found it :)

[@cb-dh7pf]

Haven't seemed haven't seen happy it's gonna come to me When it does I don't know where I'll keep it at all In my room where I sleep to keep away bad dreams In my heart, I don't know Loneliness takes up all that space And when I'm feeling low I'll take out my check book and buy a new car Oh that sweet distraction, that comfortable discontent, I'm in love Andrea's in the room kicking her shoes off Sing along, singing along Shaking our blues off we sing I've come up with a plan so brilliant Times Square, mid-day Thoughts are directed in every way And so I'll keep my eyes on the billboard ads displayed Kill my heart, no fix it up Oh those sweet distractions, inviting discontent, I'm in love.

[@andykins118118]

if you check out their merch page, there's a ton of old demos and stuff available for free download

[@Mcpf15]

@thesweetdistractions They played this when they played at CDU at FSU. Except, only Ian Metzger played the song on acoustic. It was a great show.

this song holds a special place in my heart. almost killed myself in 2012 and this song was the song i was listening to but i turned my car around so I'm still here but this song speaks to me on so many levels

[@xxParachutexx]

I have the same reason for being to attached to this song. I was in a very dark place for a few years and this song kept me going. Now that I'm better I still listen to this song because it reminds me of that point in my life and I become so grateful that I was able to overcome that. I am grateful to this song.

[@hockeypuckering]

Sorry to everyone who has emailed me and messaged me for this song. I am going to be posting a video of this song in the upcoming days with a link to download it. Thanks.
