[@loukispetrides4821]

I only recently discovered Devin Townsend. Jesus Christ where has this guy been all my life? I've been binging his albums for weeks. What a genius

[@romebigred2]

I only discovered him about six months ago. I totally relate. So much brilliance hiding in plain sight.

[@jeffreyalmeyda3598]

He is such a gifted artist, I shake my head in disbelief sometimes.

[@Qwerty-ks8dn]

You discovered him just as he's starting to record rubbish. But there's always his amazing back catalog to check out BEFORE this rubbish album Empath and its awful cheesy music.

[@Lectric_Blue]

@@Qwerty-ks8dn This is your opinion, NOT a fact. Empath was conceived, written and recorded by Devin for Devin himself, not for his fans. It's music that describes a journey. That journey was and is Devin himself. We are not supposed to like it, it's not for us. He has done loads of albums for those 'other' reasons, but this is not one of them. If fans like it, great. A lot of fans like anything and everything that their idols put out, and that's ok too. Personally, I find it hard to connect with Empath. It doesn't resonate with me, but I do love 'Why?' For me it's the best track on the album. But...... that's my opinion, and no, it's not a fact either! ;-)

[@Qwerty-ks8dn]

@@Lectric_Blue Are you copy-pasting what Townsend's been saying in all the interviews? You need to read between the lines more. You're suggesting he made all the other albums for "others" and that is asinine. The most you could say this of is "Sky Blue" and "Transcendence", definitely not the other albums. Besides, since those two albums are 50 times better than "Empath", perhaps we can conclude he's better at writing music for others than when he's being overly self-indulgent and undisciplined.

[@jonsweeney4347]

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this video since Ive seen it, and the subsequent...twentyish times I've rewatched it. There is INTENSE, profound meaning at the heart of it. There's a concept in alchemy (and also jungian psychology): “in sterquiliniis invenitur," latin for "in filth you will find it." In other words, the idea that what you need to find will be in the place you least want to look. Our guy here gets a brief hint of what the void really is (unfiltered by the ship's window) and throws himself headlong into the center of it. And what does he find when he reaches the center of the void, the thing that everyone else is running away from, is scared to face head-on? He finds HIMSELF. And he embraces that part of himself that lies at the center of what he initially wanted to escape, and becomes more than he was before, what he truly is.

[@safarfsaf]

Yup.

[@andreacuppoletti3907]

Mr Devin said that this song talks about an existential crisis

[@jackieradley1025]

I get stuck on the feeling of understanding what it's like to be stuck somewhere you don't want to be (the ship/with these people in the video) and then the free feeling of him dancing on the exterior when he breaks out. Like anything is better than here. I'm likely projecting (shocker) my own feels here.

[@sev4944]

Bro that is the best summary of the song I have seen

[@ryleighs9575]

This song and the video are going to stick with me for a long time. It hits a little close to home, but that's never turned me away from a piece of music.

I love it so much it makes me sick. It centers me amidst manic episodes/attacks and I cant be more grateful

[@sgtraytango]

Even on his songs that i cant quite understand fully, you can tell he pours everything hes got into his music whether i enjoy certain songs or not, hes giving 110 percent.

Devin as an artist is bittersweet. Part of you wants everyone to know who he is but at the same time you want his music all for yourself.

[@Endisupertramp]

I get what you're saying but I want everyone to enjoy his music. The only part that is non-negotiable is exactly that, that it's enjoyed by people. I don't really mind when some piece of music gets to be mainstream if it's because people are enjoying it, the only thing I mind is when people see music the same way the see fast food or rather as just another mindless consumable here for that short-lived dopamine hit.

I said the exact same 2 days ago. I just wish I hadn't ignored him 10 years ago. I think it's almost a thing of musical maturity where people get on the wagon when their ears are ready to absorb greatness.

[@martonandorka]

Don't get overwhelmed. I'm a composer myself, believe me it's so far from Bach and Mozart like Earth to Saturn. It is indeed a great little song but nothing more. It takes only about a few hours to compose such an easy song. The orchestration was really well made it take a bit more time but that is it. It is the vocal part which way nice, but in terms of artistry it is not even the same league.

Devin has transcended being just a brilliant musician and songwriter...he's crossed over to a whole other plane of artistic amazingness!

[@Ksamenk]

This song is a tremendous piece of art

[@balazsszentesi6360]

Devin represents the definition of being an Artist! In real meaning!

Saw Dev live in Manchester last night and this was the highlight! The whole crowd joined in and it was beautiful. I got the biggest goosebumps

Last mushroom trip I did this summer... had uje stomach pains and kept singing this in my head repeating that it was all going to be fine and that people have been doing this for thousands of years.... thnx Devin for your soothing voice and amazing calming song!

I seriously don't know how Devvy will top this album. Empath was what he promised it to be, the culmination of his musical experience.

[@alexgriparis1940]

I'm sure Devin could do a modern day Fantasia building a film around an album.

Best album of 2019. I wish this shout up the mouths of the people who says rock is dead

[@nilomusico]

I never get tired of hearing and watching this clip. A lesson in singing and musicality for all future generations of this world. Congratulations and thanks Devin! My ears and my soul asked me to tell you that.
