Dance Gavin Dance - And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman (Tree City Sessions)

But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet, down
Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet
Duck down, then hide, behind the file cabinet, down
Without ever letting go I knew you'd gone astray
Stranded here in this cold atmosphere.
Waiting for the lifeless words to come from your mouth
Enduring every sound
This is not why the cast is hollow
Sending the rats to follow
Under the weight of all these eyes
Fry
But now you know that I am cold
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
And now I am found
(Take me out now, I've dropped the mast down)
I lay without understanding
I don't know why I feel this way
Oh lay down girl take my world
I know why I can't see your face
I've placed every mole there is to place on your wasted body
Oh, lay down girl and take my world
I know why I can't see your face
As the window left shattered now
We saw the withered body try to shout
You thought the price of your life was devout
And told us some things you can't live without
And was this what was best for us
And was this what was best for us
Just let it show (Rest where you ought to be)
(Block out your misery)
I'll bring you far (Wait for the call)
Well I'll go for it (You left in the hallway)
I'll beg you when you know (People they change)
(And I would still be ashamed)
I'll beg you when it shows (To let the weight of the world)
Well I'll go for it (Rest on your shoulders)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I'll die for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
I don't believe the lies (I'll fight until the war is over)
It's staged for you (I'll fight until the war is over)
(I'll fight until the war is over)
Left at my feet rests the soul of my brother
Vengeance will fall for the deeds of another

[@liammitchell1163]

Not one comment has acknowledged how Jon fucking killed this! Jon Mess just can't sing bad, and that's why he's my favourite unclean vocalist :D

[@WeAreGiftedOG]

definitely

[@timvancourt7213]

Jon Mess kills everything he touches. He's like.... a magical godlike black death..

[@jackbuchanan6441]

I never liked Mess before Acceptance Speech - he changed the way he screams and has since become my favorite unclean vocalist as well =]

[@MullilluM]

Very well done, Tillian does this justice. Original will always hold a place in heart, but I'm glad that he can sing their back catalog as well as he can. Many other bands who get new vocalists, can't pull their old ones well, good to know DGD doesn't have that problem.

[@strawberrireli]

Agreed.

[@playandDIEproduction]

but the intro!!! messed it up

[@MagicMan1gaming]

That's because Tillian wasn't on drugs or drunk when recording

[@edgarrangel2064]

+Magical Entity 😂😂😂😂👍You are Right

[@vinny1537]

He couldn’t even hold the note on the last “I can’t see your face” he blew it for me after that

[@Sngwritingisfeeling]

As much as the original tracks hold a place in my heart, I don't think anyone but Tillian could've done this so phenomenally well live.

[@endar2401]

I really prefer Jon's screams in this version. Shows how much he's improved. Or just a nice style change. Since other people are saying...I'd like to input that I think Tillian did a great job, and it's nice to have this recording. Of course Jonny's original is something really special.

[@hexmaniacalexis]

I love Tillian's voice so much! Jonny and Tillian have such different vocal styles, and it's super cool to hear them remake this. The only complaint I have is the lack of gospel/soul vibe Jonny's voice has. But I understand they're two different people and Tillian is doing his thing, and I love it!

[@d3th_2_all]

@Michael Benbow Jonny's voice sounded the exact same live. He has an amazing powerful and soulful voice. Tillian just doesn't have that power that Jonny does but Tillian does have more range. They both have strengths and weaknesses

[@erickbonilla5754]

I also believe he sang this way in this song because they had to record more songs cuz it was a live performance not like a recorded song lol if nit this version would definitely have more effect to it

[@bobdigital8160]

The feels man, hands down favorite song back in 07. Love hearing Tilian sing as well!

[@euph0ria_fitteds]

More like a Surprise I'm From Cuba! cover. I need "I BELIEVE THERE'S MEANING NO I BELIEVE THERE'S NOTHING" in Jon's new vocals

[@euph0ria_fitteds]

ヴェイパーウェイヴvaporwave i definitely really love Jons old vocals. I actually get angry when people dont lmao and I totally see what you mean, its such an original gem and im definitely not saying id prefer it to the old version, I just think itd be really cool to see!

[@machinewashableOG]

So how does Will still remember these songs and play them flawlessly?

[@official_liquidmetal]

I know this is a year old but I still thought I'd shed some light on it as a musician. Trust me, after enough rehearsals, playthroughs, trying to record and even writing it it's pretty much engraved into your brain

[@iffpsv2752]

@@official_liquidmetal also Will probably practiced it before the recording sessions, but probably not much because he wrote it damn near 15 years ago and he’s only gotten better since then.

[@rosieruggiero3805]

imo jon’s unclean vocals are 100x better in the newer version

[@carsonIewis]

Oh, not even debatable.

[@1kiloh]

Carson Lewis completely debatable. I like his old unclean vocals more.

[@MyoticTesseract]

ヴェイパーウェイヴvaporwave You can have your preferences, but I’m just glad he’s not fucking up his throat like he was a decade ago.

[@DailyScratcher]

yup...07 we are almost at our 10 year reunion. Jesus

[@OceannaHussey]

Tilian's lower register's raspy/rough Bryan Adams-esque voice on this track is what I live for.

[@mpk6664]

4:29 that drum part is gorgeous

[@G00dJ0bR0bb]

Dance Gavin Dance lucked out with Tillian. He matches pretty well with a lot of old DGD.

[@2000Doriyas]

He really does, sounded flawless when I saw them live, wish his voice was recorded/mixed like this more often on the albums he sings on

[@ACIDICcitric]

Jonny the stunning beautiful voice of desperation and Tillian the beautiful voice of hope

[@erikadee8668]

The last 20 seconds. .The chords are SO good!

[@ahiwalter9153]

the way the studio recorded the instruments are amazing as well

[@AyoGabos]

what an absolute banger. band sounds tighter than ever.

[@psycho4346]

tillian's vocals will never be as strong and powerful as Jonny's but he isn't trying to replace Jonny he's bringing his own style to the table. and I love everyone Jonny, Kurt, And Tillian ❤

[@7Metal7Monkey7]

Aren't strong and powerful the same thing

[@coolshiz7319]

[@Typicalskinner]

Blown away. I had my hopes high for this specific song...and Tilean crushed it.

[@evanoliver1918]

Tillian has a unique voice, not knocking him. But Jonny and his soul made this song and album. That can't be replicated

[@datNERO17]

+Evan Oliver Well, thats to be expected, Johnnys songs are made for his voice the same as Kurts songs are made for his own voice, and Tillians songs are made for his. Still think Tillian nailed it though :)

[@jackbuchanan6441]

Jonny has a soul? That's funny because most people who've worked with him have said the man doesn't deserve to have the singing voice he has. The only thing the asshole has going for him is his singing voice but he can't get a band to deal with his shitty personality.

[@nickegofficial]

What does anything you said have anything to do with the fact that his singing talent cant be matched ? His voice is just soulful.. he puts his emotion into his music.

[@jackbuchanan6441]

Fair enough - Jonny's singing talent being "soulful" is a matter of opinion. I do not find it so, but I understand other people do. My opinions of him as a person probably make it difficult for me to really care about his singing abilities...

[@harleycrouch8814]

Evan Oliver jonny literally got piss drunk, went to the studio and sang jargon. They went back and match words to the nonsense afterwards to produce the "lyrics"

[@MrDjLights]

The one tcs that does the song justice

[@hydrogencarbonate7944]

I think he did just as well. it's not going to sound exactly like Jonny. two different singers..for this being recorded live is pretty amazing

[@hydrogencarbonate7944]

Daily Scratcher yea of course but its my fave song with jonny so im saying its quite the change he did great

Jordan O'Dea My mom is cool too, you're right.

[@replikkant]

wrong. mess sounds infinitely better here than on any of the old studio recordings, and tilian killed all of the kurt/jonny stuff as well (but i guess liking him more is just down to personal preference). i, for one, would listen to the TCS versions of carl barker, zoloft, spooks, or lemon meringue tie much more than the originals... so much so that they seem like the main versions to me now lol.

[@replikkant]

[@bobphillips5617]

I know I'm late to the party but Jonny is undeniably amazing on this song. Completely irreplaceable. That said, Tillian came as close to making it his own as he possibly could. This is incredible! Just one little step behind the original. Maybe if there was some post prod work to make it "albumy" then yeah, he might take that next step but damn, that would be tough.

His voice makes me cringe. Johnny is better. They have like at least 15 songs that I can put up with his voice but other than that I skip through it. He’s not touching Johnny Craig’s voice at all. Even the guy who replaced him in slaves. He can sing yes but no where near his voice either.

I rarely comment on this stuff but I still have to say that personally, I really enjoyed this whole album. No, you can't "replace" the original, nor can you "improve" on some of the originals, but you can bring your own style. No, it's not Tillian's most comfy style, but I think he still kills it.
