Divine Voices - Porter Robinson & Madeon Mashup Cover

[@maxdugganmusic]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the likes and positive comments on this. I made this when I was 18 and never expected anyone would ever hear it. I can’t believe it surpassed 400,000 views. I’m working as a film/ video game composer now. I’m not always as active on KZbin, but if you want to keep up with what I’ve been working here’s my Instagram and Spotify: Instagram: instagram.com/maxdugganmusic/?hl=en Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/4ec665C4wBKnsaflIOUHvo?si=-gKEk9wARQGlte0klw3CSA Also, noted about the metronome hahaha Everyone is half right. There are some parts where it being off beat was intentional (Ex. the section with “I’d rather give up and be happy”) and there are some parts where it isn’t. I think the sample I used sped up at certain points and I didn’t catch that at first. I was pretty new to music production at the time and didn’t know how to fix it haha Thank you again for listening to this. It means the world to me.

[@tazenya3640]

Always appreciate people trying out music production even if the result could be better, it's good the way it is. Good luck with your future endeavours

[@IsraelRuizGodot]

Just felt like commenting and saying thanks for the music!

[@timnguyen1374]

the 'offbeat-ness' may not have been intentional but i actually really like it, especially when 'happy' is a little delayed at 1:36, kinda makes it sadder for me

[@DemonCat_]

I love this song and how it go's from soft to upbeat relatively quickly. ^-^

[@pixelrose8078]

This was so soothing and sweet I had to just stop, close my eyes and listen.

[@darkcloud4445]

[@TheMagickConch]

I have this bookmarked and I come back to it quite often. This is probably my favorite cover.

[@maxdugganmusic]

Aww thank you! That means a lot. It's so cool to me that people are still revisiting this after all of these years

[@realmitheal]

hearing shelter at the very end is what made me cry 😭 very well done

[@simplestickland3367]

There's no off tone, There's only art.

[@adwardcooper7535]

That's right

[@T5473K9]

The melodic voices gave me chills, BEAUTIFUL!

[@christinatoo801]

Even if the offbeat tempo is unintentional I think it sounds better that way! It sounds much more unique which makes it all the more amazingly stunning!! Keep doing what you love no matter what, people will always hate. Don't let it get in the way because there are also people who love anything that you do and will always support you! We'll always be here for you!

[@zachy2314]

Max, don't listen to the people saying that the offbeat makes it worse, you made it so much better, you have real talent, keep working at it.

[@carlesv7219]

He has talent but the tempo is totally offbeat and it sounds pretty bad to me. If it's really an artistic choice, since it turns ok later on the song, it's ok because art is about this, trying to paint the world how you see it, not exactly how it is, but the start sounds pretty out of place to me.

[@cirlex5104]

So he shouldn't listen to criticism?

[@alex-jblack337]

This makes me so happy when i think about my grandma with this song on.. She is in heaven and i miss her..

[@shronk5530]

I love how this dude actually made porter's amazing glitch hop influenced melody even more glitchy

[@zachy2314]

But still better

[@StarCode1]

WILL THERE BE ANY WORD THAT BRINGS "BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, SURPRISING, WONDERFUL? IF IT EXISTS THEN I WOULD SAY IT FOR THIS SONG

[@annalise9910]

This is so good! I have a playlist that helps me work through panic attacks, and the tempo and feeling of this song makes it one that will totally help me. Thanks so much

[@Mopki3]

I once accidently opened KZbin link twice, without noticing. I was listening to this this sick off beat... But turned to be the second video being perfectly out of step for to sound good. I tried a dozen times to recreate it, and I managed a few times. It was like this effect here, but this is banging.

[@cadenmccormick7689]

Chills every-freaking-time... AMAZING! I haven't felt chills this hard since I first listened to Porter. I loved EVERY SECOND of this:))))

[@TheMagickConch]

Came back for another listen after a few years. I love this cover.

[@taylorking4358]

This is so intense! Love porter & madeon, keep making more music!

[@ASTRAnight]

This is badass! Love when Divinity transitions into 2nd verse of shelter. SO HOT!

[@apollo9617]

Everyone saying people are talking bad about it being off beat but all i see is support for it

[@genjishimada3498]

I like how they say “I’d rather give up and be happy”

[@projectorates]

NEVER FELT SO RIGHT

[@ジェス日本]

The “off beat “ tempo didn’t bother me 🤩💗

[@NeonMarble]

This is so fantastic. I actually really love the off-tempo-ness of the first section, I think it sounds really neat and I feel like making the tempos match would actually make it worse IMO.

[@cha_is_bored]

I feel the same dude everyone here is complaining about it but I find it so relaxant

[@DenShou69]

some people intentionally do off-beats and it still makes it dope! this one is a good example :D

[@djg43535]

i don't hear imperfections. i just hear passion... pure passion.

[@brook8340]

THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE IT AHHH

I love the more feminine voice in shelter its so perfect!

[@misteverett9589]

Love this!

[@Yipppppeeeeee]

I still ❤ this

[@kkburrut13]

I love the glitchy vibe the video and the song give me.

[@bobmoss]

the part where the theatre kid is in there is not very sicko mode

[@aschemattison8668]

I fucking love it. Dont listen to the haters, keep making good shit man. You need more subs!

[@jakequidit9525]

Its creatively done. :)

[@febews48percent45]

i just came here to read peoples thoughts and i discovered an entire war ground of off-beat good vs. off-beat bad

[@tatubolado5510]

"A sea of Divine voices"

[@Alkaide]

Why do people says the OffBeat is bad? It sounds so noice~~ :>

[@ted-from-ohio]

Guess it just depends on your ears. It's just a little bit off but that can bother a lot of people. Wish it didn't bother me

[@cirlex5104]

Can't really say why it bothers me. It just does. If it was more off beat it would be fine. But making it just a little off beat makes it sound like its a mistake.

[@benjaminolsson2162]

"I'd rather give up. And be... happy..." That's my favourite part. To me, the pause before "happy" feels like a sort of "who am I kidding". A sigh of exhaustion from putting up with it all. I want more from my life that will probably ever be possible and keep chasing what feels like the end of the rainbow. The end always over the horizon and forever beyond my grasp. I've been depressed for the vast majority of my life now and wish that I could just be happy with what I've got. That I could leave the past behind and stop dwelling in it. That I could stop dreading the future for what it might have in store for me. Just being in the moment and take the days as they come, without my mind wandering to the past or the future and filling me with anxiety... Giving up on trying to control every outcome as to not repeat past mistakes. As if that is even possible... Who am I kidding... I'll probably always be like this but hopefully I'll be able to accept it one day. That is why the offbeat speaks to me. That's why it makes it better. It's flawed in a way that ads an extra layer that I can personally relate to. But each person have their own perspective and I can see why some people dislike it. I wish they could hear my version and take away something positive instead of something negative from how the song is made and get a better experience from it. Sorry for the long comment.

Al comienzo me desespere pero al final lo goze!!!!

[@iguess2739]

Oh shid! went to change song as it ended and I didn't even realize that this was not PR & Madeon, but some dude's version.

[@salvadorcanvas6878]

Lyrics: If I fall Down on my knees Wondering for What we could be If I could Try a little harder I would succeed (oh, oh) I'd rather give up And be happy Lean into my side Never felt alive Call the chants inside (We will wait for this, we will wait for this) Lean into my side Never felt alive Call the chants inside (We will wait for this, we will wait for this) Lean into my side Never felt alive Call the chants inside When I'm older, I'll be silent beside you I know words won't be enough And they won't need to know the names on our faces But they will carry on for us And it's a long way forward, so trust in me I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us Until you're gone. __________________ And there you have it, the lyrics. As the uploader (Max Duggan) said (read video description), it's a mashup cover of 4 songs, these are: Home - Madeon, Divinity - Porter Robinson, Sea of Voices - Porter Robinson & Shelter - Porter Robinson & Madeon. Oh, also, "offbeat"? what the heck are you talking about? it sounds amazing! Well done Max Duggan, thanks for such a beautiful piece. Best regards.

[@Icyangel10]

This sounds really nice, I really how the bit with Home at the start sounds Did you edit it to sound like it was calm & over piano like that? I’ve never heard the song sound like it else where & just curious cause it makes the song sound all calm & stuff before it picks up after.

[@maxdugganmusic]

Thanks so much!! I wanted it to be really impactful when the Divinity sample started playing, so I tried to keep everything pretty quiet and calm beforehand while slowly fading in the individual instruments. I thought it would make a cool stylistic shift. Glad you liked it!

[@delictorlusamm.2157]

I Don't Get it Where is the offbeat everyone was talking about all I hear is a beautiful soothing music cover of Porter and Madeon ^_^

[@carsonlove531]

Yeah, tempos are off in the beginning. Most notably, "happy" at 1:36 comes at a really awkward time, but it would probably be fixed if the tempo issue was corrected. Everything else is great though, from 1:37 on, this is an AWESOME mashup :)

[@samlovely9930]

I think that it was on purpose because it makes it sound sadder when it has a long pause

[@noname-sk6zk]

*yes.*

[@HeliPotter2000]

HEART!!!!

[@KenserNut]

I relistened to this and yeah, the offbeat sounds at the beginning seem to go great with the song :>>

[@tryydent2598]

Keep it up!!!!

[@nataliogrande9924]

No sé porque, no puedo escuchar está canción. Es hermosa y con una calidad de audio que no suelen tener estos mashup, pero simplemente me pone demasiado triste y nostálgico 😭

[@silsfigora9558]

>:3 i love this!!! tho it does make me feel a bit sad

The best part is Shelter IS a Porter/Madeon mashup

[@sumbumscreen1666]

@hayan tempo is not off... what are you talking about

[@omgeelizabeth]

❤️

[@Maxou515Channel]

Same here, the off tempo makes it better for me!!!

[@maazsaleem3279]

I actually enjoyed it, didnt bother me at all.

Do you know where I could get that background? The link in the description doesn’t work.

[@Beam3178]

oh god the dinging sound being only slightly off is so distracting. Sounds nice but makes it hard to concentrate on homework :(

[@simonpaschal5009]

Nice, but the BPM is off and it's killing me AAAHSUADSDIWOS

I like the idea...the excution could be better because it's off beat.
