Lyrics:
I've been misplaced in so many ways
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit
Yet here I breathe
Teeth still gleam from holy water
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
And voices sing:
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
All because we never had written a word."
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will i know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings
Sentimental or just confusing
We lost what we had but we took it back
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will i know when the morning comes?
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
And what will I know when the morning comes?
I'm not who you think I am
And even if I thought you'd known
I never would have told you so
And more alarming
I would have done the very same
Would have stole more than your name
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
I was in the wrong place
At the right time
And what's the worst I'd see
By giving myself to the earth below me
Not knowing how far I'd fall, by casting away the ordinary
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath here underneath?
There's that subtle smile that did me in
She moves...
An agony reminds where I've been
She breathes
"I'd never let this happen again."
Where's your heart?
Mimicking the patriarch
She's naive...

[@skylarl5545]

It is a damn shame that this band isn't more well known. I've said for a while that The Dear Hunter is one of the most slept on bands of all time, and I stick to that.There is so much passion and talent in this music. I know a lot of people who would dig them, but it just seems like no one has ever heard of them. It's a weird thing.

[@WhoaD614]

+Skylar L iv been following TDH since 2009, getting as many friends as i can turned on to them, and im still shocked they rnt more well known. works great for us cus when they come to ohio they play a small bar and i get to see them close up and chat with them after but still. people like kevin periera (who commissioned all the orchestral work on Act 4) have helped a lot in gettinng the word out on them. also there was a TDH song in one of the saints row game a few years ago i wanna say En Cauda Venum. as long as people like us continue to buy their music and support them they will keep goin. in pri 20 years TDH will be the greatest band that everyonne missed out on when they were in their prime.

[@JnK69]

So true, I just recently discovered them and so far I have shared this band with 4 friends who all enjoyed it. And why wouldn't one enjoy their music? It's amazing..

[@dizzydial8081]

@@WhoaD614 Very late but it's the same way I discovered them. I looked up the song from the game and was hooked ever since.

[@tz5832]

@@dizzydial8081 which game?

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

Yeah, I feel real alone. Especially because it seems people find them really mediocre or bad for some reason - 10% of the people I've shown them to think they're incredible, the rest think they're awful and I don't know why lol

[@WorldofIntenseArtie]

This was such a blast to work with TDH. This entire album was beautifully arranged and I got to play it. yas

[@ParityS]

Arturo Rodriguez What did you play?

[@WorldofIntenseArtie]

Flute and Piccolo. I was with the orchestra (Awesome Orchestra Collective -- look us up) that provided much of the orchestral background. It was a real treat to record and perform with them at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

[@RainingBluebellEmphenia]

THAT LITTLE PIANO REPRISE OF MUSTARD GAS AT THE END WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL Casey should honestly release a full version of that, it would be lovely

[@RainingBluebellEmphenia]

+Kyle Hagen I meant of just piano. I've listened to.mustard gas before, as you can tell by the _beginning of my comment_

[@RainingBluebellEmphenia]

Kyle Hagen Sounds like a personal problem, lmao.

[@madmanadam1]

Well we know the topic of mustard gas right. How the boy almost died and after he remembered his life. I love the short nod to it past the Bitter Suite I reprise. Because not only does it give him a huge flood of emotion upon seeing Ms. Leading but also it invokes how he felt when he almost died.

[@L0rdOfThePies]

All the reprises and repeated motifs have me by the collar by each time i “discover” a new one

[@biltrex]

I feel so sad that I've been deprived of The Dear Hunter until now, but overjoyed that I found them at last.

[@poopoogigolo]

Well, that was probably the coolest lyric video I've ever seen...

[@design9870]

Todd Jameson i agree with you

[@amerika420099]

You need to see soens music video... Its a news reporter and it's AMAZING

[@simonb.4617]

Besides the fact that this is one of the best TDH songs ever, kudos to whoever made this lyric video.

[@malcolmcooke7131]

It was Casey himself! He did The Revival one too!

[@NickConner]

Shut UP. What? Not normally a fan of lyric videos and was specifically impressed by this one. Why Casey you have to create so good!?!

[@kakamaru5]

The musical reprise in the middle just makes me wanna get up and dance.

[@sukeuryeong]

WalkUpSlowlyDownSmash It literally feels like that moment in a musical where the entire cast comes out for a huge musical number, I adore it

[@Tristriam]

That last reprise of act 2 gave me hardcore chills

[@zhine354]

Ryan Vandale I teared up, It felt so fucking great!

[@MichaelGrepp]

Lizer Zhiné Zecor you described my exact feelings, glad there are people who's souls appreciate soulful music

[@geddoe316]

[@tatecheddar]

Ryan Vandale This.

[@GibboPAL]

SeanyBoyT Unless the original poster was referring to the Bitter Suite I&II reprise straight out of the bridge.

[@BowserSpaceLaser]

it is my absolute favorite thing in the world when bands have musical themes that cross albums like this. this band will never not bop.

[@sevin10a]

"There's that subtle smile that did me in... ...She moves." "...An agony reminds where I've been..." "...She breathes..." "I'll never let this happen again..." "Where's your heart? Mimicking the patriarch. She's naive..." no amount of callbacks by any band i can think of would ever beat this.

[@Jiggerjaw]

Have you listened to Blomljud? Sola Scriptura? Remedy Lane? Doomsday Afternoon? If you love that level of cohesion, I would highly recommend the albums above. Also Visions, by Haken.

[@Affinity001]

Haken

[@stoverpix4558]

checking out Sola Scriptura and it's pretty great. reminds me of the old prog rock i grew up on. I'm hoping it doesn't get all christian on me. Sounds like it is. Tends to get a bit boring from a lyrical standpoint. Casey treats religion a bit different FYI.

[@akitheredwolf9541]

+Stover PiX Well, I thought it always had Christian tones. However, I think Casey does it in an interesting way by not focusing strictly on the Christian themes straight up but hiding them in allegories and metaphors. The main focus is always on the Boy's life. Nevertheless, it's great music whether or not there is a religious message or not.

[@Mooseplatoon]

Casey may be very areligious but it's clear that Christianity has a big influence on his imagination (side-effect of growing up in our society, I suppose).

[@ParityS]

Casey writes the story, lyrics, music, and he makes these videos? Holy shit dude

[@PhillipFry3000]

Also, he built some of the guitars the band plays.

[@kyleweeksy]

This deserves 100x the amount of views it has

[@Theogvineofthedead]

GodDamnitKyle agreed sadly the majority of musically dull humans would rather here the idiotic mumblings and incoherent rap beats of "artists" like future and designer :p it's sad but at least we understand and love good music with a creative melody and enchanting story telling :p but really, am I the only one that thinks popular music really says a lot about the intellect if the majority of society? it sure says a lot to me lol

[@bugcurserecords]

God fucking damn that shit is beautiful

[@MaxDeVincenzo]

Well said, well said.

[@3runvaggos]

4:40 to 6:05 is just pure musical joy 🤯

[@amalene]

Wow just imagine if all of the acts were animated together like this...

[@grimdivine9677]

I love the album artwork. The music really goes well with it. There needs to be s short animation film with The Dear Hunter doing the score.

[@Mooseplatoon]

The reprise of Bitter Suite I is one the best parts of the album, which is saying a lot as it's consistently fantastic. It neatly reintroduces Ms. Leading while highlighting that Hunter has become the sort of deceitful person he rejected her for being in the first place. First she took advantage of his ignorance, now he in turn is taking advantage of The Lover.

[@Rock-bb8pq]

I could not agree more

[@joshrobledo8234]

Yes! I remember listening to Act II for the first time before they were signed to Equal Vision and wondering "Why aren't musicians like THESE guys big?" And now everyone will see. They'll all see.

[@monique_angele]

This band has some of the best music I've heard in a while. So creative and inspiring artistry. Amazing music!

[@kaitlindoesarts]

I have got to stop listening to The Dear Hunter songs for my first time when my family is home because I am incapable of reacting in a normal manner to them. I mean- can you blame me?? That reprise of The Bitter Suite I is HAUNTING.

I really hope the rest of the album is individual like this.

This is easily, from start to finish, one of the Top 10 albums ever made!

[@blabitybloo]

This phenomenal song and the brilliant "Waves" surely must entail an excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT Acts album in our near future, people!

[@cucamongaduke3600]

The very best way to listen to this album is straight through; beginning to end; flame to fire.

[@gamma1777]

They are truly the best band no one has ever heard of. We are the lucky ones who get to spread our love for this band. To our friends, and to our families so they shall hear the masterpieces written and played by The Dear Hunter.

[@justinmorency5381]

I've waited so long.....and they delivered with a full-on eargasm.the ending nearly had me in tears

[@gr7606]

I've never seen them live, but it would be great if they started to incorporate visual backdrops in their future shows. It makes sense to me, especially within the context of the four acts because there seems to be a theatrical feel to it.

[@JohnSmith-nl2dr]

Seen them live and loved it absolutely. Still just a small band they will get there soon. Just go and enjoy it 👍

[@rodrigomillan3861]

Sounds good, new to the band…the singing is great

[@MikauGuitar]

Rodrigo Millan I suggest trying out Act II and the Color Spectrum next.

[@rodrigomillan3861]

Thanks, I heard Act II was the one to go for...

[@markormandy]

Rodrigo Millan The Color Spectrum is awesome, each of the EPs has 4 tracks and a different mood/approach based on the color, they display so much fucking diversity in one album, though it is like 34 songs or so... Black is my favorite of them. These guys are some of the best songwriters of all time imo, criminally under appreciated.

[@rodrigomillan3861]

Mark Kram Right, I had never heard of them until Conner Green from Haken suggested them to me. Thanks!!!

[@markormandy]

Rodrigo Millan Ah I saw that post too! Big fan of Haken/Conner

[@spencercowan8862]

One listening to those harmonies and I'm dead in the best way possible

[@wylenmusic4026]

that was absolutely incredible

[@tatenaibenbusi]

I guess this will be their masterpiece, like Coheed and Cambrias "Good Night, Apollo, I'm Burning Heart IV". Astonishing, especially the classical parts and how well they fit into the song.

[@mmurphy3608]

[@monarchsquadron8649]

*”Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness. Im assuming that’s the one you are referring to being they have 2 albums called Good Apollo

Everyone needs to check out Agent Fresco. Super talented band from Iceland, who have that similar alt/prog rock sound. You will not be disappointed. Dark Water, Pyre, See Hell and The Autumn Red are good listens.

[@svartsjokolade]

Yeah! Agent Fresco is a great band!

[@MattF012]

so, i picked up my copy of the record and, much to my dismay, there weren't any moving lights in the background, or changing colours like there is in this video at the very end. talk about misleading advertising. i haven't been this upset since i found out gushers don't actually make your head huge.

[@LostSound]

I got introduced to this video and band I’d say somewhere around 4 years ago? I’m very sad that this video, let alone the band, aren’t more well known. This was the first song from them that I ever heard and it still holds up. It has so much life and talent with the transitions, wordplay, the whole lot basically. I wish KZbins random algorithm would push this video out more so more people would at least watch this video in particular, cuz whoever edited this absolutely nailed it!
