I know you want to be a youtube hipster and are looking for gratification. But don't force your opinions and emotions onto other people. That's what Hitler, Stalin and Mao did. Namaste.

Some songs are just born to be played live. This is one such example. I would love to see something like this on the Grammys so those in the crowd could be left speechless.

[@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.

[@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]

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

[@jeremythornton433]

Best rock voice in the world!

[@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.

[@Punishment_for_Decadence]

Devin should be performing with an orchestra all the time. Superb!

[@toprak3479]

It's expensive

[@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.

[@777aslar]

I can’t believe music could sound like this!!! I’m in tears.

[@vapsol]

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

[@J155P]

Failure is the one that broke me down. But powerful DVD none of the less. Once again devy never ceases to amaze and blow minds. ✌️

[@digibath84]

same here ❤️

[@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!

[@TheColognican51213]

Usually I listen to death and brutal death metal, but I discovered this record and it remains one of Progressive Metals only albums that I really fell into love with. I don't like DT or any of those other bands, but Devin has a big place inside of my musical heart!

[@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 :)

This man, been listening to him for decades, he always seem to impress me, Live hes even better then on records, its insane, hes one musical genius!

[@natewhitehead7130]

[@K3nseiii]

Goddamn, Devin is a musical genius. Proud to be alive while he's making music!

[@chrissnow6655]

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

[@DatFaceDoe]

Thank you Devi for helping with my depression, love you always!!!💜

[@tobydobo4080]

Literally one of the most moving music experiences I have had in years. Tears of joy, pain, and freedom all in one song.. How did I ever miss this? 2020 not so bad after hearing this.....now to listen again.

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"
