[@AGCcachanilla]

PERFECTION.

[@jayhoppy2524]

My 40 year old heart has hardened through the years. Everything from being a soldier to the friends and family I've lost, the pains life has dished out, my peaks, my highs, I feel a flood of fucking everything, and it's so overwhelming in such a good way. My stone face has lit up, and tears have hit my eyes for the first time in what feels like years. I feel motivated. I feel empowered. A song, a fucking song, is creating this feeling... not a drug, not gambling, a video game, ... a fucking song! At sounds of the underground in Phoenix Az. July of 2005, one point Hevy Devy walked past me, within arms reach. I could have said something, but I didn't. I don't know what I could have said without sounding like an idiot. Okay, back to my seltzer water with a dash Himalayan salt.

[@davecrupel2817]

Music is an essential part of our happiness. It is the friend we can have that will never do us harm, like drugs or alcohol will. :)

[@frossbog]

I'm with you, brother. I can see and hear of great tragedy and not blink. But music like this... particularly THIS song... it makes my feel emotion in ways I haven't otherwise felt in a long time.

[@catherinemacleod4985]

I'm 68, and my wife of 28 years has been locked away from me for 8 months in assisted living, and this music is about the only thing keeping me sane and alive at this point. God bless Devin.

[@6hypnone]

Beautifully put

[@JPGRAPHX3]

same effect on me Brother, but, I never could have articulated it as perfect as you did! Cheers from a 47yr old Jarhead

[@thehiddenpaw7939]

One of the most beautiful, and moving songs ever created. It's like flying to heaven. It's like soaring across the surface of a vast golden sea. It's like plunging into the depths of space, at unfathomable speeds, to behold wonders untold. It's like every fiber of your very being has been set free. It feels like being embraced by the living embodiment of pure love, and acceptance, and it brings me to tears.

[@zzzzzz69]

The Hidden Paw very well written description :) This song also chokes me up

[@Disqualified_Identity]

Times infinity!

[@CJKrecsy]

I like that description. Sadly, my take on this is that of the expression of the deepest regret, and also that of utter soul wrenching pain of the affected persons - yet, there is always a hope or an offer of forgiveness and love

[@joepalladino9257]

ChrisW it chokes me everytime I hear it man.

[@joepalladino9257]

That is very eloquently putting it.

[@bender8100]

Devin makes me believe that there is a soul, somewhere ❤️

[@emmanuelborlet330]

3:20 - ''you lie to your soooooooouuuuul ...'' - love this moment ! Dev is just incredible.

[@wimpynz]

How genuine is Devin's smile at the end... always great to see an entertainer being equally appreciative and entertained by the energy around him

[@28Pluto]

Yes! I've met him a few times after shows, and he's always super happy to shake hands and share a hug and smile with everyone.

[@bazzaah]

He's Canadian so I think you can assume it's genuine.

[@craigrodgers4267]

Metallica proved just how good Metal and a symphony can go together...... Devin says 'Hold my beer'

[@dfro1982]

He actually said "Hold my vegan smoothie" but yeah pretty bad ass.

[@jimhaglund597]

s/m was horrible for sure... but then again, metallica kinda sucks ass...pre black album was decent, nothing after.

[@Kevin.Kelly.]

Kovenant did it better.

[@fdmmoens]

That those things could go together was something proven years before Metallica did it.. For instance Gorefest - Goddess in Black version with orchestra in 1995. Pretty sure they weren't the first ones either.. As for the rest, I agree :)

[@peterfarkas9857]

and Waltari

[@100percentofnothing]

That transition at 4:00 makes my eyes tear up every time. Devin is a true master of harmonies. 👏👏👏

[@jamesburris3397]

Peter Nolegård that's my favorite piece in the song for some reason. Such power. But everything Devin does is just flat out amazing.

[@aburlingham0915]

Absolutely agree. The lyrics make it all the more amazing.

[@Acruxus]

One of my favorite pieces of music period. Makes my hair stand on end every time, like I'm being lifted above the clouds and carried through a magical place.

[@vapsol]

I was literally crying during this one! what a performance...

[@brandmeow9014]

I like at the end where he tells them to smile, because he just demolished and rebuilt everyone's soul during that song.

[@karamichele3057]

All of these comments are spot on but this one really resonated with how I feel by the end of it when he's smiling so genuinely. Good job encapsulating the feeling so concisely. I fucking love all of you!

My favourite song in the world. I don't know if the Official or this Live version is better. I've listened to it a hundred times, and it never fails to amaze me. This barely squeaks by Funeral as my top song ever...and Funeral is nothing short of a masterpiece. Even after listening to it as much as I have, it still brings me to tears

[@natewhitehead7130]

every "screamer" ive ever heard losses a little bit of that "umph" they once had. This guy just seems to keep getting better and more versatile. The same goes to his performances. Truely amazing!

Gotta check out Spencer Sotelo! Listen to Lune or Satellite from Periphery for some solid high notes! Amazing composition as well.

Devin makes the most emotionally charged music I've heard in my life. I hate that I didn't discover his music until I was in my 40's. The first thing I heard was on KZbin. It was the Live performance at Royal Albert Hall. It was the first time I was ever moved to tears listening to music. I wish I'd found his music long ago.

[@jweezy15able]

Simply beautiful. I hope that orchestra went home that night proud, because that might have been the best orchestral team up I've ever heard, and I'm including No Leaf Clover and Alice in Chains cover of Kashmir in that statement (even though all 3 of these are spectacular)

[@hilariofernandes5299]

As someone who essentially only listens to popular (non-classical) music I think orchestras who play with pop/rock/metal artists are bored to no end the whole way through these concerts. I mean, they are used to playing much more complex and rich music, so I wouldn' t be surprised if they were just getting a paycheck there. I might be completely wrong, of course, but that's just my impression.

[@FlipperWolf]

Well, depends which band they play with, I'm not sure all the parts were easy for the orchestra which played with Dream Theater, same with Dimmu Borgir, some parts can be "tricky"
