Kellin Quinn - Uneasy Hearts dgd acoustic demo

before the song was called "uneasy hearts" and we were looking for a singer, this is a little gem that came out of that period of dance gavin dance. guitar part written by will swan. played by zachary garren in this version.

[@zachyg]

this was kellin's demo to join the band. this is his version of the song over me playing some of the song on acoustic guitar. kurt ended up joining and wrote his own version. that's why theyre different.

[@TheLowest]

Damn didn't even realise he wasn't playing guitar. The style sounds exactly like closer 2 closure

As a die hard DGD fan, I'm very glad this didn't happen. Although, this sounds pretty cool, he wouldn't fit any other DGD material.

[@AeroBigDick]

Him and Tilian have similar vocal ranges.

[@rosettastoned7164]

+How About No That's true, but I think Tillian sounds more DGD than Kellin.

His voice can range higher than most girls; thats not a flaw. its talent.

[@yungtraplord1077]

This is meaningless, hes a tenor of course he can sing high but as a baritone i can hit the same note i just dont sound very womanly doing it

[@danjor5749]

@@yungtraplord1077 I think Kellin Quinn's vocal color is the best part of his singing. It's not just that he sings high, but he genuinely sounds very feminine in a way that most other tenors in emo don't. It's awesome.

[@IanAberbach]

so glad they picked Kurt Travis

[@knucklebutt420]

I've loved dgd forever honestly and I know this is pretty old but I used to listen to sleeping with sirens all the time, and knowing that this is a thing and hearing his own creative interpretation of the song and his ability to make it his own is incredibly impressive. Contrary to most of the negative comments, he adapts his voice and the guitar riff to a creation of his own and it turned out rather beautiful in my opinion.

[@GuilteTV]

Damn, parallel universe DGD is fire too

[@piperfournier5477]

I thought this was a joke at first 😂 shocked to say the least, it does sound very not of this specific timeline we're in rn.

[@Richerodt]

As much as I don't care for Sleeping With Sirens, I actually enjoy Kellin's voice. It would've been interesting to say the least.

[@Poland209]

I played literally 1 second of the song and 1.) I freak out over how beautiful it already is 2.) I start crying...I don't think i can listen to the rest of this song without freaking out >.>

[@Roxy-zt5rb]

You needed to calm down 9 years ago 😂

[@comicog3]

Honestly not the biggest sws fans, but I would love for kellin to be a dgd vocalist for a while. He's got a great voice, and they'd probably do some nice rnb inspired music.

[@alexandersterling3228]

Overall, yeah I'm glad they didn't pick Kellin. That's not to say it wouldn't have been interesting to see what DGD would be like with him. Like, I just think it would be really interesting to hear him write vocal parts for Alex English or Me and Zoloft.

[@davidshuman987]

Was Kellin is sws when he almost got in? I never knew he was even a choice.

[@tylermcdonald9372]

Menthol Boy No this was back in 2008 he was practically nobody

[@D.A.R.C.I.]

@@tylermcdonald9372 damn, i never really thought about how young sws was at all

[@thehurrytheharm]

I don't think Alex English or Me and Zoloft would exist (or at least exist as they do now) had Kellin joined the band. He doesn't have the stream-of-consciousness, non sequitur, surreal writing style that's a Dance Gavin Dance signature

[@brittanyc3282]

this is cool and everything, but can you imagine the mass exodus of fans leaving dgd if kellin Flippin quinn became the new singer lol

[@Dayzzd]

Brittany Caron I wouldn't fckn leave. I would love to hear some dgd with kellin

[@hamon_master1390]

+Rob Garcia well you're a doodoo head

[@Trotskers]

Kellin Quinn was a nobody when he recorded this and when he would have joined Dance Gavin Dance. So no, I don't think it would have purged the DGD fanbase. In fact, I think him being in Dance Gavin Dance would have been a fucking phenomenal thing, because like it or not he is an insanely talented singer who just happens to sing pretty shitty pop music these days. Sleeping With Sirens first album has some decently heavy shit on it and great vocals throughout all of it. Even their second cd still has some decent songs, after that it's been all shit tier though. But still, we got Kurt Travis who is also amazing. I don't think he's on par with Kellin as a natural talent voice-wise, but certainly far beyond in terms of lyrics and melody. And now we have Tilian, who is better than both of them. (Opinions and shit)

[@felipe8511]

by that time nobody knew him and his band but im glad he didnt made it anyway, because he was absolutely trash live back then

[@alexmurphy8576]

I think you mean Tilian, not Kellin... Oh wait...

[@YamiJai]

Tbh this isn't that bad but I would have been weird if he officially joined DGD in glad they went with Kurt because his voice went really well with the era of DGD he was in if Kellin was in it it probably wouldn't be has good like the lyrics Kelin chose for this song isn't my as catchy as how Kurt made it but it would have been interesting to hear a full studio album with Kellin in it but I probably wouldn't like it but I would have been interested in hearing it

[@NsiderCustomrobo13]

Why are you guys talking about Tillian? The description says this was before the song was titled, meaning after Downtown Battle Mountain and before the self titled (Deathstar). They ended up going with Kurt Travis, this was long before Tillian.

[@SleepTalkMetropolis]

Hearing this just feels dirty.

[@shawnwoods4369]

its not bad but it'd be weird if he was in dgd

[@erikapettway4670]

Shawn Woods ik everyone keeps saying they wouldn't want Kellin to be the singer but the thing is I don't think he was ever meant to. I think this was just an audition for the second singer in uneasy hearts. Kurt was a lead but if you listen to the actual song you here there's a second person in there.

[@RugMunchKing]

Erika Pettway that is nic newsham in uneasy hearts he was offered the lead singer position of dgd but decided not to join. he became good friends with the band and thus was featured on uneasy hearts. kellin did try out to be the lead of dgd but they declined him as he didn't have the kind of sound they were looking for

[@codymicheal99]

I wish he'd make a full cover of this tbh

[@bunnysniper007]

I keep coming back go to this every once in a while. So good. Would love a full version of this on spotify

[@gr8_chalupaking_]

Not bad. Sounds like a high pitched Johnny Craig. Real r&b style. Never really listened to sleeping with sirens but this was really good.

[@intergalacticmemes1731]

It's like his voice fills a hole in my heart. I don't really know how to explain it

[@nicknniejonasfan]

do you ever listen to this and feel like your ears have been blessed? because i do, he has a beautiful soft pitched voice.

[@joshlizaola5619]

I'm so glad this never happened don't get me wrong he's amazing but he's definitely not Dgd material

[@xsergioaldayx]

Thanks to this demo I found out about dgd I used to be a huge sws fan. And I checked out a lot of songs that kellin was in. After I found this one I liked it a lot. Then thanks to my friend I found out about Kurt's uneasy hearts and fell in love with the band. I think the band would've done great with Kellin since he is a high pitch singer just like tilian. But kurt was the right choice and self titled & happiness are my favorite dgd albums. Zach, I'd be so happy if u kurt and will started a project together 😭❤️ If not then I'd be happy if u made a song with royal coda Or more strawberry girls x kurt Travis songs

[@eliasion]

just when i think i cant fall in love with kellin more than i do this song comes to my ears this is amazing

[@Whergy]

I really can't stand sleeping with sirens. But Kellin gets props from me for this. Kinda shows of the jazzy quality of his voice here than seems to be lost in Sleeping With Sirens. The dude's talented.

[@Jong-JongDomo]

As a long time DGD fan, been through 3 vocalists, I can say that if Kellin made it, they can write songs for his voice as good as the previous and current DGD songs. It's DGD you know.

[@SideCharacterEXE]

I'll be honest, I'm glad they went with kurt but alot of folks are really dawgin on kellin here man. I think hes got the vocal prowess to really make some cool dgd songs. I think people automatically assume hes just gonna dumb their style down to something more basic or something but I doubt that would've been the case if this had panned out. Remember this was just a demo with an acoustic. He can get really raw at times with his voice.

[@2thuggg]

Lol I love this version as well ! Dgd is great at picking amazing vocalist! If kellin was a part of dgd, well that just adds a different amazing chapter!

[@michaelabernal93]

While I admit dgd would've been weird with Kellin, this is still a nice demo. I don't like him, but Kellin's got a killer voice.

[@sjholmes101]

There's nothing that special about Kellin's voice, to be honest. He's just a guy with a normal vocal range, just a lot higher and a lot less lower.

[@Ward413]

Spencer Holmes Dude even if you removed all the high range parts from Kellilns songs, there are still some Sleeping With Sirens songs where he sounds great mid - deep. But thats just like... my opinion, man. Hah.

[@sjholmes101]

Kellin's vocal range is high like most hard/metalcore vocalists. Not saying anything bad about it. Jonny or even Kurt had better rangers than him, no doubt. Plus, you're attempting to say Kellin Quinn is good on a DGD video :D

[@EagleRafter]

Spencer Holmes Johnny may have had rougly the same range, but Kurt didn't even come close dude. Kurt was a good lyricist, but saying he had as much range as kellin (who's gimmick is a high voice) is just wrong, lol

[@sjholmes101]

If you think Kurt Travis, the singer of ALLB and DGD has a worse vocal range than Kellin Quinn, you are on the wrong band's video.

[@carlofrancisco609]

Damn, Kellin would've been crazy in DGD. God... I'm imagining it now and sounds amazing...

[@LAMMMERSS]

Just lovey,.....still kickin it 2019

[@JuicyBropPop1996]

in the description it clearly says guitar part written by Will Swan which is the guitarist for DGD and kellin just put vocals over it

[@corpseparty7889]

Idk this shit as a full song .... Banger

[@zachyg]

@amnehzm it wasnt a cover, it was just a demo for our band (dgd) at the time when we were looking for a new singer back in late 07/early 08. i recorded a guitar part we had for a new song and sent it to him to see what he thought and he recorded over it.

[@Ashhllleee]

This is perfect! Kellin continues to amaze me!

[@electriczombie17]

@zachyg wait, so what made you guys choose kurt instead of kellin? I love kurts vocals but i was just wondering

if this wasn't a DGD song and Kellin Quin Made it out of the blue you would have to agree its pretty Freakin Awesome:)

[@dutyboy20]

this is bossy zach! thanks for sharing indeed. loving this acoustic too much . mad props -fc

[@DontThinkOnit]

@DeusLightning So this is originally a Dgd song only because of the guitar kellin merely wrote new lyrics over the guitar^_^ I love them both

[@plue__]

This is so great but in a much different way from the other one. Kellins voice fits this acoustic version so well.

[@pd9432]

these are the lyrics, im not sure if they're 100% correct cause i did it by ear another day another week another month I been gone so long home seems good to me if you see what i see constant faces empty spaces drilling holes in the songs that i sing (vocal run) i can believe im right here with you right now, matter a fact I (vocal run) the only thing that i need is this road up under my feet we take to the streets you cant drown us out sing low x3 we take to the streets you cant drown us out sing low x6 sing low oh sing low you got to sing low oh sing low

[@americamesss1692]

I know this comment is 5 years old but I’m pretty sure he’s saying “sing love” and not sing low. You can hear him emphasize the “v” more towards the end

[@NathanHatesYoutubeHandles]

I personally think this piece sounds amazing for just a "what if."

[@NightmareSnake]

Even though obviously Kurt Travis was the right choice, this sounds pretty good. I'd love to see this actually get a full version maybe. Perhaps as some sort of special recording for a DGD B-Sides & Rarities album. That'd be the best place for it.

He also does the clean vocals, which he is why he is famous, kindof like Denis Shaforostov from Make Me Famous, or Tyler Carter. If you disagree then why do most of the comments in every song have to do with Kellin Quinn's clean vocals? He does scream, but he's not that great at screaming. If he was, he would be more recognized for that. I do know what I'm talking about.
