DJ REACTS! - Avenged Sevenfold - Cosmic

[@mitchellgoldstein1573]

I cried at the halfway point. Basically when the piano started playing. Didn’t know a song could hit me like that

[@ZAXDJ]

Yea Avenged did it with this one, so great 🥲🤘❣

[@chilli_soda]

Same here

[@delix787]

🖤💙🖤

[@thomasgoude8800]

Literally the best emotional moment I’ve ever heard within their music. It hit me so heavy at that exact point

[@elbegev8550]

and then it just ascends from there, that part after that little effect towards the end , just hit me like a ton of bricks , so heavenly

[@simonkauffman6056]

I share a sentiment with a lot of people who have listened to this song...i teared up. And like everyone else, i dont know why i teared up but im not ashamed to admit it

[@ZAXDJ]

It's really a beautiful song, it definitely invokes a deep feeling 😄🤘❣️

[@simonkauffman6056]

@@ZAXDJ it hit me and my friend eathan deep in the feels. So did life is but a dream. It felt so nostalgic for some reason

[@mastod0n1]

Never be ashamed to admit it. I used to hide my feelings all the time and it was so unhealthy. Now when I hear some music that moves me or a video that tugs at the heartstrings I embrace it. There is no shame in expressing those emotions and anyone that thinks differently can fuck off.

[@brandonb3273]

So weird, thought I was the only one. It just makes you think about life and death. Existential Crisis the band has stated. I'm 35 and on 5 pills for my mental condition of necrophobia.

[@simonkauffman6056]

@@brandonb3273 this song just really makes you think about these deep kind of thoughts and what not

[@DennGreenIII]

Ever since I heard this song, I have had this strange and strong sense of anxiety and unease. Listening to this album and this song in particular spoke to me in a very strange way, it's sticking to me in a way that none of their other songs, from any other album, has. Whenever i listen to this song i cry, it really hits me hard and makes me think of my family, my little 2 year old son in particular. Whenever i hear it, I just want to hug him. That feeling was stronger after I realized this song is about 2 souls existing throughout eternity, over and over again throughout different incarnations, and no matter what lifetime or existence they are in, they always find each other. In some lifetimes their relationship is rough, and in other lifetimes they "get it right." They are destined to be together, and even though their physical bodies don't know each other, their souls are always longing and waiting to meet each other again. I don't think this is an exclusively romantic love, and can be interpreted as a paternal love, and it just makes me think of my sweet little boy and how much I love him dearly, and how it has always felt like he was always meant to be here with me.

[@ZAXDJ]

That's hard to hear, couldn't be easy for anyone. But yes this album is very much about facing death and inspired from a DMT trip. Personally I have done very very similar self work with Shamans in the past as M. Shadows describes in the various interviews i've seen now. The experience a lot going to the deepest parts of yourself find true healing. So those emotions you are feeling are probably evoke as the song was intended to do. Sometimes giving into those emotions is the best therapy. Life is beautiful and at the same time we can feel so hopeless and have no control. But we're all in this together and I know for a fact there's many other people have felt similar 😁🙏🤘❣️

[@visionsvetarn]

Thank you for this comment. I have excactly the same feelings from this song. Every time I hear it, I think of my soon 3 year old daughter land the rough times we are going through together because of parental alienation from her mom. I will never stop seeing a bright future for me and my little girl though, and I will never stop fighting for her rights. The more I listen to this song, the more I accept life it feels like. Genius masterpiece.

[@frankdrebin259]

Thanks for sharing something so personal with all of us. It really touched me.

Hope you can share this song and your amazing comment with your son someday❤

This song makes the Earth brighter

[@mattynutrition9353]

Instant classic song. It is truly unreal how they have not just tapped into emotion, but dug in with a damn backhoe to the heart. This song is unlike anything I can think of in a few decades.

[@ZAXDJ]

Yea foreal 😄🤘❣

[@JackJack-qg5ml]

M shadow have a rock voice but it softly touch my heart 😢

[@clemthegoat8034]

The way the “there you’ll find me” part repeats in two different sections reminds me of I Won’t See You Tonight Part 1! Such a phenomenal song. So peaceful and impactful and beautiful. I had a feeling before listening to any of the album, just with it being the longest track and being called Cosmic, (I love space and loved The Stage lol) that it would be my favorite track and holy shit it delivered.

[@ZAXDJ]

Most definitely agreed! I've listened "I Won't See You Tonight Part 1" more times than I can count now, really is phenomenal 😄🤘❣

[@killer_elite97]

This album is honestly incredible with cosmic being my favorite song off it

[@ZAXDJ]

I love the album so far, I think it might become one of my favorites. Comsic was incredible 😄🤘❣

[@tannerbroadwell5488]

the lyrics are beautiful in this song it’s my favorite one by far. i get chills everytime i listen to it

[@delix787]

This song blew me away!! 😱😱😱 I WAS LIKE M. SHADOWS WTF MAN!? 🥲💙💙🖤😭🖤

[@TDD_Drums]

Having been one of my favorite bands since i was like 12 this album blew me away. This song is so beautiful it's just crasy to witness the evolution of this band over the years

[@robertonome2448]

I think itd be fair to say that this is their most emotional and illustrative rock ballad they've ever written. It truly feels like one's final moment of contemplation (in an optimistic manner) just before they die, and then, once the piano section ends (likely during their final breath, hence why the sensation of "relief" comes), they ascend (becomes quite clear with the huge ascending synth in the background) to the heavens and/or become energy (imo open to the listener's interpretations and beliefs) Also the guitar "screaming" constantly + quickly moving around back and forth in the vertical frets in the solo section makes it sound like the person's struggles and desperatly (and pointlessly) attempts of escape while the "reaper" comes to get them. They it ends when it finally does, in an abrupt but somehow calming transition to the piano section

[@Alan-yr6hj]

oh gosh Cosmic did bring tears... beautiful piece definitely the best song in the album

[@ZAXDJ]

Really is, I think just by the sheer amount of people I see that have been moved in such a deep way (Myself included) just proves that. I'm so happy about it 🥲🤘❣

[@Slider712]

The strings at the end get me almost every time. So hauntingly beautiful

[@ZAXDJ]

[@ZAXDJ]

When I thought one of my favorite bands couldn't get any better, love it 😅🤘❣🔥

[@Kbtoy789]

I was thinking the same while listening to this. Quite possibly their best song ever. A masterpiece through and through.

[@munchenonyou3774]

This song is beautiful. Love every bit of it to pieces. Reminds me a lot of my lost brother. Cant wait to hear others reactions to it

[@ZAXDJ]

Totally agreed. I'm glad you can find something like this to feel that connection. Very moving 😄🤘❣️

[@poggerwhite]

I was at work when hearing this for the first time, and i just stopped what what I was doing and took it in. I teared up, idk what it was, but I felt like a little kid hearing Avenged Sevenfold for the first time again. At least that's the best way I've been able to describe the feeling

[@mortythemort]

Pogger White I couldn't agree more! This took me back to the first time I had heard Avenged. It also gave me a similar feeling to when Fiction came out, and hearing The Rev's voice. Or even So Far Away.

[@nass419]

​@@mortythemort It's the piano part in the middle of the song that hits so hard remind Fiction

[@ZAXDJ]

Yea I think a lot of people feel the same way. I can't stop listening to it now. It does tug on some nostalgic heartstrings and is really a beautiful song, couldn't ask for more 😄🤘❣

[@michaelsteinbach]

When we're born every bit of us comes together from millions of sources and when we die, those elements are redistributed. The singer lists all these beautiful places, telling those who loved him where he can be found when he's gone.

[@xandercrow]

It’s bittersweet to read that everyone in the comments felt like I did when I first heard this song. I was tearing up at the halfway point while going to work just feeling a sense of calm.

[@ZAXDJ]

Yea it really does bring that feeling over you, by the end of the song I'm in a full state of bliss 😄🤘❣

Haha that's where I found my self with this song after the recording. I was like, I need some lyrics and to unpack that whole adventure I just went on for bit. I'm definitely down to, I want to give each song some breathing room too. Cosmic was A LOT, in the best way 😅🤘❣

Brooks Wackerman gives them an identity that they haven’t had since The Rev. He was the perfect addition to the band

[@ZAXDJ]

Absolutely love the Rev and Mike Portnoy for filling for them during that rough time. But I couldn't agree more, Brooks is a phenomenal drummer

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

I don’t know, but I just can’t get around feeling like the part where M Shadows has the extreme effect on his voice would have been sung by James if he would be still around :( When imagining how that would sound, it would actually fit pretty well too.

[@ZAXDJ]

Yea, I loved the backing vocals. R.I.P. I'm sure it would have been amazing

[@delix787]

I’m disappointed in some avenged fans claiming they have been diehard fans yet, they act so surprised that A7X are always different per album. How can you call yourself a fan but you’re still shocked that they always experiment every album? This is not news to anybody lol. They stated they don’t want to give the same material back to the fans because they believe it’s insulting to give the same thing back over and over and over again. I don’t get why a fanbase wants to sit there and claim a band doesn’t try anything new and when they do, you take back what you said and you instantly say you want them to sound back how they used to 20 years ago, and when they do that. YOU take back what you said again and you want them to be more original. Honestly, make up your goddamn mind!! 😬

[@ZAXDJ]

💯 I can't see a true fan of this band not liking this song, if at least not just appreciating the art. But if you are expecting a band that's been around for over 20 years to sound exactly the same or make the same exact music all of those years later is not likely, and honestly refreshing to my ears that it wasn't just a copy and paste of what works. Because we know they can make what works simply, but they went the extra mile, love it 😁🤘❣️

Best song on the album (that's not saying much) I thought hail to the king was as bad as it could get. Nope! 🥱

Well this is as different from Hail to the King as you're probably gonna get from A7X. They could have stopped by now, i'm still glad they are still at it periood. But to each their own, and can definitely understand if this song or album isn't your "cup of tea". But maybe it will grow on ya lol, thank you for stopping by 😄🤘❣️

[@craigwhiting777]

You know friend, I'm not as much the "hater"as I probably come off as. Avenged Sevenfold was so successful with their usual style of music that I'm sure they are enjoying doing something different. The same thing with bands like Metallica and Megadeth "selling out" and playing a more commercial sounding style. This new Avenged Sevenfold is definitely not my cup of tea (except for Cosmic, I really like that one) but as you said, each to his own. What I'm hoping is maybe the next album will be a go back to their roots style album. Metallica and Megadeth always say they are going to do that. They never do. 😂. Who knows, maybe Avenged Sevenfold will fulfill part of my wish list and be the first band to make a heavy metal polka album. lol. Peace out and keep up the good work.....👍

[@craigwhiting777]

By the way, though I said this album and hail to the king sucks (they do!) I'm not one of those fools who think anything after waking the fallen is a sellout. lol. I liked the stage. This song is pretty good, but c'mon guys, the rest of the album REALLY sucks! Can I get a what what?......✌️
