Lyrics:
You are a sun Goddess
Will you save me?
Hooray for you.
Hooray.
Now the rain it comes, the rain it blurs the grey line
...the grey line...the Greyhound home
You are so vicious (Hurt me, I can take it)
Cause it's all in the heat of the moment,
It's all in the pain
Sonar, sonar again...
It's on again, (got no wings...gossamer wings...) ...on again...
You are a sun Goddess!!!
Will you save me? ...babe...babe...babe...
Cause it's all in the heat of the moment
It's all in the pain!!!
So give in to the heat of the moment
Give in to the pain!!!

[@retrorenaissance9497]

this dude is having a religious experience

[@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel]

So did I the first time I saw this video and heard this song. I'd never heard it before up until about 2 months ago.

[@mementomori2839]

@@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel saaaaaame dude. I've listened to it at LEAST 40 times since then

[@TamerlanRespawn]

4:33 I think we all get that sudden chill reaction at least once when listening to Devin.

[@SockerConny80]

damn right!

[@RubenBuijs]

:)

[@16revelation]

and after 6:25..those screams!!..

[@tillsommerdrums]

I get them everytime really ! After watching the performance at least 10 times I still get the chills and watery eyes everytime he screams or switches back to clean. Devin just knows how to make music that touches your soul

[@Galacticat_]

Awesome! I've watched this performance probably 50 times and still get chills! You should do Bastard from the same concert!

[@GUTTERbOY001]

Agreed. This entire concert is great, but Bastard blows my mind more than anything else.

[@RubenBuijs]

Give it time,my friends :D

[@littleabigail4328]

Funeral into Bastard into Death of Music for the best experience.

[@chrissas3872]

YES. That version of bastard gives me chills, and the death of music. Just....uhhh. amazing.

[@Nimenoz]

Instant goosebumps every time I hear "RIGHT!" as the song starts. My god... Only thing better was seeing the Ocean Machine show in London!

[@Trener_Artem]

7:56 i actually started crying, im 30 years old, holy crap.

[@nightrava]

Me as a 37year old was crying as well... Just came from Plovdiv from his concert and I still can't get over it. One of the best things that happened in my life

[@xTsunnenx]

That makes two of us, friend. you're not alone

[@tripzville7569]

Devon knows how to push those cosmological universal God buttons

[@manoverboard2323]

итс окей брух

[@tylerdurden5593]

You wanna see a man crying, just show him this video. Even with guys that have no emotions on their own, Devin puts his own into them.

[@Pfel93]

I think what impresses me most about Devin is the fact that this is an hour and a half into an almost 3 hour set, and he continues to sing perfectly. Such an incredible performer

[@mementomori2839]

And he's sick there

[@Airlight]

Aside from the technically stunning singing, Devin has this extremely raw emotion that seems to just explode out of him, particularly during this song. Amazing.

[@mementomori2839]

This song is life changing. I can't get enough of it. There's nothing like it, even by them. The raw emotion is unreal.

[@allikitos]

I feel exactly the same. I didn't know a song can get so much emotion out of me. I found this song a week ago. Every time I've heard it up to now I tear up like crazy and I subconsciously stop breathing out.

[@andrewhart9310]

It's difficult to imagine songs can be written more perfectly than this. One of my all-time favorites.

[@snarkyboojum]

I'm 42, and first heard him live when I was 20. Loved your reaction and the honesty in the way you connected with his music. He's been one of my favourite musicians for over half my life. Rock on :D

[@mincentprice1041]

Wow - Ive seen this before and wanted to check it out with you. Man, this is a very emotional yet powerful version of this song The pipes on Devin are unbelievable. I'm 53 and my eyes start to get teary eyed. Great performance and great reaction my friend Thanks Ruben

[@pomat22]

Love your reactions man. Very genuine.

[@rockonileva]

This is Devin's song that i listen to the most! It's amazing how It's fluid, and aehtereal! But why not putting out a solo on that long instrumental section! It would be GREAT! An epic solo! WOW... Why? Because the song don't need it! It's just about feeling the energy and the paced rhythms! Perfect!!

[@TYFLOL]

Man I just can't get over how amazing his vocals are

[@ErikMases88]

Since this video was released, Devin Townsend has released a new version of this song that truly outperforms this one, it's the "live in plovdiv" version and it's truly amazing! His vocal performance is just on another level. I hope that you'd like to make a reaction of that video as well if you haven't watched it already!

[@Jasonsz510]

I have seen him live a couple times now. Once opening for Gojira and recently as a headliner. Literally the BEST concert I've seen. Absolutely amazing live

[@inklanois]

I saw the shudder of chills you had after the first verse. So true. Same here.

[@TonySmith-kt8qh]

Love this dude during aftermath. His reaction vids are epic.

[@emmanuelavilavaldez3399]

I loved your reaction and totally empathized with you. I've been fortunate enough to have discovered Devin over 15 years ago and he keeps blessing me with these wonderful musical experiences. The guy is so "godlike" I even named my son after him.

[@athendemosh8001]

yes. its been a journey for me for over 20 years. Dev and I are only a few months apart and so are our sons. Its funny but the albums that came out from syl to solo stuff kinda matched, most of the time to what I was feeling. Terria fucking knocked me big time. The line 'and I'm 29 years old and I'm a million miles away' just hit me, really hit me on first listening. What an awesome artist. He covers all the emotional range I require.

[@tfoxen7518]

Found Devin Townsend when looking at Opeth' tour schedule - then found you. Never want this song to end. Addictive pleasure.

[@mincentprice1041]

Thanks for everything, Ruben! It's always a great time and great music with genuine reactions and thoughts

[@MaajkTarkir]

I discovered Devin thanks to you. Man that guy has an angelic voice.

[@joepalladino9257]

This song gives me major goosebumps

[@KitteeChaos]

I just saw him play this live last night and holy shiiiiiiiit. Definitely Godlike.

[@SweetestOlePea]

Favorite Devin reaction so far because of the emotion behind it. 💜

[@yeslikeabauz]

Best real reaction there is on youtube, fucking love it and i sure as hell feel with you

[@derickpouliot5548]

That is the correct way to react to this song. Rock on man!

[@PonchoRamirez1989]

Holy shit that must of been an awesome concert to attend, I am sadly going to be travelling on the 22nd when Devin is here in Sydney where I live :( I've never been a live music type of person but he is one person i MUST make an exception for one day.

[@sextinaaquafina]

You can see Ruben eargasm several times here. 😂😂 Gotta love it!❤️❤️

[@Fishgod1216]

This performance is great, but I think the live studio recording is amazing. That solo at the beginning throws you into a world of passion only Devin can emit. I don't remember if I recommended this song, but: 'Archetype' by Fear Factory

[@RubenBuijs]

You did...and I promised I would do it :D Wednesday my friend!

[@Fishgod1216]

Oh, i'm sorry about that! And great!

[@spammaps4420]

You should definitely listen to the Drapery Falls by Opeth

[@tes420]

Hell yeah...Classic

[@TheAskald]

I love Opeth but I've never understood the fuss about The Drapery Falls. I also really like it (I should be around 30 listens like the whole BWP album) but to my ears it doesn't have its place in a Opeth Top 10. Very good but not godlike.

[@Holler86]

do the death of music live at royal albert hall its pretty amazing.

[@lucamartinezbergamin8804]

Yes please!!! It's so amazing!

[@ibd1977]

must do...must do!!!

[@timmie2k3]

This, so much. And especially considering he busts out one of the single most amazing vocal performances I've ever seen over 2 hours into the concert just boggles my mind.

[@bendog69]

Really enjoy your reactions, and I noticed that chill you got at 4:33 as well. Whether you're reacting to it or not, go back and listen to the whole second half of the Royal Albert Hall concert. The songs were chosen via a poll of his fans and are equally masterful to Deadhead. It's a special concert for sure.

[@Nas_Khan]

Awesome reaction as always!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BillyWilliamson]

Shaking off the chills at 4:35. Yeah, his voice does that.

[@regwattfunkylist]

Great choice, so jealous you'll be seeing them soon..This whole concert is amazing. The sound production is top notch. I agree with some others, maybe you should have a Opeth, Gojira, Deven Townsend weekend. God knows they have so much music to go through, it would be quite a journey!

[@samB_o]

7:37 the ascendance is truly amazing, I don't know how he does that with his voice...

[@ossamawilson8804]

Porcupine tree - Arriving somewhere but not here

[@shawnsmith8558]

Yes!

[@fegyi001]

+1

[@TYFLOL]

best song by them imo, they have a very nice live video

[@SockerConny80]

Treat yourself Ruben, just watch the whole Live at the Royal Albert Hall. I have no doubt your gonna enjoy every second. I know i did!

[@RubenBuijs]

I am saving it for my reactions...but believe me,it's difficult not to watch....

[@SockerConny80]

As much as i like your vids i still think that id be happier knowing you got to enjoy it just for the love of the music. Feels a bit like we're robbing you of a profound experiance.

[@malteadotas4]

Man who the fuck needs drugs when you have Devin's music? Daaaaamn

[@cemuponmarz]

"Fallujah - Abandon", you won't regret it mate!

[@olemoudi]

I love the way you fell the music and love it more that you react this way to Devin, my "all time" favorite since I heard his voice in Steve Vai's record "Sex and Religion"... (My avatar is an homage to his own logo...) This year is the 20th anniversary of his "first" album "Ocean Machine: Biomech" and there is a song in that record that is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard from him, "Thing beyond things"... So soft but powerful at the same time. But for me, the record that changed his mind and his way of singing and performing is "Ki". I fell that you would love that record, specially "Heaven's End". I f$%&#ng love your channel and keep reacting!! :)

[@DingoSupreme]

This one also gives me goosebumps! But Night also does, the live one from the same concert, i recommend it man! Groeten!

[@mrgzola25]

hi mate you need to react to the death of Music Albert Hall. unless you've already seen it. I found Devin townsend recently and saw him live. what an absolute find. genius....

[@JMEAUS22]

Since your on Devy at the moment PLZ PLZ PLZ do 'the death of music' from Royal Albert hall it's another mega epic from the Dev

[@MindFreak2020202020]

You could do Devin Townsend Saturday and we would all be happy I am sure. He has so many amazing songs it would be well worth it.

[@RubenBuijs]

I am REALLY considering such a thing at this moment....

[@ErenionAncalima1]

Anathema - Untouchable part 1 and 2... GO !!!

[@ErenionAncalima1]

KINGDOM!!!!!

[@Kipex]

Periphery - Make Total Destroy. One of the more recent bands Devin has actually toured with. Nolly from Periphery also helped record and mix the latest Devin record. Give Periphery a listen!

[@dmytrobravchuk2064]

"masterpiece" - true!

[@lukasgraesslin]

"March of the Poozers" from Devin live at the Royal Albert Hall is also great.

[@ibd1977]

AYREON...AYREON...AYREON...AYREON...AYREON...AYREON The Day When The World Breaks Down

[@niilaheikki]

From this very same show, Death of Music is the one for me. Its different, but its so epic, so beautiful.

[@alexstrommer9690]

Great reaction man!!! i like your reactions videos,specially metallica from seattle 1989.G luck,cheers from Argentina dude ImI

[@jaopbr1]

Cool, I suggest other song of Devin Townsend. The sound called Christeen. Thanks.

[@breenalmighty1697]

I was at the show it changed my whole life

[@Grunik1618]

Try Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize!

[@kevinkuypers]

The live version is amazing !!!

[@chevyfreak1453]

Please... This is Devin dude!

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

Try another Dream Theater Song! I say Hollow Years from Budokon!

[@georgereader8878]

Please!!! Do a day decaded Devin Townsend.

[@janliebens9621]

one of the best reactions! If i see you on graspop ill buy you a beer

[@nickminkin20]

dem goosebumps haha happens with everyone

[@griselame]

Beauty is a convoluted word these days, but it really applies here. Total and unabashed beauty from start to finish...

[@martindionne7291]

Godlike? Absolutely...

[@TheSunBurnsBright]

The only thing that ruined this performance for me was the audiences inability to clap in tempo during the middle section. Otherwise godly performance by Devy

[@tweevers2]

check out his live version at a guitar Clinic - Melbourne, 2014....hes goes to even higher notes at the end...check out his funny last tour daily vlogs and also his studio vocals track recording sessions videos to see his brutal voice on its own

[@hugomagalhaes7477]

Love your videos man

[@HazardousDeath66]

Great reaction. This song is sick \m/

[@HazardousDeath66]

I'm still recommending Bleed by Meshuggah

[@Nopulu]

7:56 yep, that's pretty much the standard reaction to devin hitting that note

[@BerryOonincx]

Tot de 15e! Hopelijk zie ik je in Eindhoven, doen we een pilsje tijdens het napraten over wat een perfecte show het wel niet was :D

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

You would love Devin Townsend - Failure.

[@AstroNiels]

Eergisteren stuitte ik per toeval op een videoclip van Devin Townsend Kingdom (EMGtv), ik werd overrompeld! Deze versie van Deadhead was het tweede nummer van Devin Townsend dat ik hoorde, en ik weet niet hoe vaak ik er de afgelopen twee dagen naar heb geluisterd..

[@pinchenick]

4:34 I feel you mate.. I feel you..

[@RickGrimesS5]

Nice video! krijg altijd kippevel van dit nummer! en t spijt me maar ik blijft t vragen, maak n reactie video van detox - strapping young lad :D daar zie je devin in zijn jonge jaren ;)

[@RubenBuijs]

Volgende week zaterdag..beloofd!!

[@RickGrimesS5]

:)

[@wots36]

Hé Ruben, nu nog een eerste reactie op 'Grace' samen met Anneke van Giersbergen :-) of March of the Poozers of zo....:-)

Atlantis Chronicles "Upwelling - Part I" (Official Music Video - 2016, Apathia Records)

[@shawnsmith8558]

Listen to Gorguts? Obscura?

[@lowangomalley9122]

7:58 - Eargasm achieved!

[@gabolujan]

wintersun - sons of winter and stars live @ sonic pump studios

[@OmarChouikha]

How about trying something really different? There is a Tunisian Jazz musician that reminds me of Devin (in terms of vocals), try Dhafer Youssef- Blending Souls & Shades (to Shiraz). It's a mindblowing song/performance you'll surely like it!

[@lewismitchell9010]

Hey Ruben, react to avenged sevenfold, god hates us at rock am ring 2011

[@thordiesel6.7]

I really enjoy your reaction videos and how much you enjoy the music. This one especially, I had a similar reaction the first time I saw Deadhead live in Royal Albert. "Godlike" is the perfect word. If you ever have the time to make such a video (Lol) I'd actually love to see a reaction video to the Devin Townsend Live at Albert Hall full concert. He starts with the whole Z2 album and then does a whole fan requested track-list set after. It's a around 2 hours 40 min long, but damn if it's not an amazing 2:40 hour experience. Absolutely fantastic. Here's a link to it if you ever want to experience it! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnapmHqDnK2SicU

[@BerryOonincx]

Ruben please try As i Lay Dying : An Ocean between us :D

[@451dskots88]

"Godlike"... Enough said.

[@GotMeStumped]

Pleeez react to Funeral and Bastard live from RAH ! 🇨🇦🤘

[@ENTERPLAYSTUDIO]

Weer een mooie video Ruben!

[@RubenBuijs]

Dank je wel!!

[@swinnburn]

My arse hurts!!

[@Lolquake]

Check out Love? By Strapping Young Lad. Awesome song, and hilarious video. I think you'll love it.

[@leerv.]

You look like you just creamed your pants after those final verse screams, my friend. Hey it's ok, I needed a towel my first time too. :p

[@5000dennis_nature]

[@The_McGlock]

I still don't understand why all you vocal coaches chose this video... this video is his literal masterpiece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIaQeINqZrGYibs

[@RoninWaffle]

I don't know what it is, but something about the Royal Albert Hall seems to draw this type of performance out of artists.

[@mw6160]

You look like you transcended about halfway through to a higher plane :p

[@RubenBuijs]

I did...and I loved it :)

[@mw6160]

subscribed, man :)

[@odedeliyahu1756]

hey bro try out trivium i think you will like them

[@tes420]

Older Trivium was good but they are total shit now IMO

[@odedeliyahu1756]

tes420 true but still I think he will like it

[@odedeliyahu1756]

i must say im not so fan of them live , i saw them twice and i like to hear thier music and not wathc them live so much . did you like them ?

[@RubenBuijs]

I did...but I haven't really listened to them since...

[@odedeliyahu1756]

ok so here are some songs i will hroup them by albums: Down From The Sky - good mix of clear and growls but mpstly growls Throes of Perdition - song they close thier shows Shattering The Skies Above - more agressive alot of grwols and screams In Waves - on this album they they started using alot more clean vocals with the growls Built To Fall - vocals getting more clean Silence In The Snow - vocals changed to be more melodic and cleaner but honestly my favorite song is the epic 11 minute long : shogun just a rollercoster of metal !!

[@Mrkandela]

react to Buckethead Ruben. Buckethead - Soothsayer or Buckethead - Nottingham Lace

[@davidthompson662]

Strapping Young Lad - Love? I beg of you lol.

[@RubenBuijs]

Tomorrow :D

[@davidthompson662]

Nice :D
