THE SWEETEST | Band-Maid (Daydreaming)

[@christophermoorhead5827]

Only Band-Maid can rock a ballad this hard.

[@glacieractivity]

There are very few guitar solos that consistently make me tear up. Whatever amp Kanami was plugged into when writing this, it communicated directly with all the gods of the instrument currently jamming together in the afterlife.

[@sai1981]

Maybe my favourite Kanami solo. It just expresses the emotion of the song so brilliantly, you don't need to have the captions on or understand the lyrics, that solo tells you everything. Kanami pulled the same trick on Bestie as well.

[@MrBryanwithay]

I am headed into work and kind of in a bad mood and I figured I would check out one last Band-Maid video for a pick me up and BAM! Chase Carneson reacting to one of the best Band-Maid pick me up songs. I am ready to take on the world!!! Thanks!😁

[@ChaseCarneson]

This made me really happe. Glad it turned the day around a bit. You got this. Go smash it.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, Memorable, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- an unbelievable range of mid-tempo songs from the greatest hard rock band on the planet - Band-Maid. Thx Chase, for another great Band-Maid reaction!

[@himbo754]

And then all the acoustic versions -- Puzzle, the Christmas concert, Saiki's piano debut at Yokohama Arena, etc.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@himbo754 You're right, Himbo. Band-Maid's song list is an Endless Story of excellence! 👍😉🎀

[@Metal_Auditor]

I’m so glad you did this one! The one other older song I’d love for you to do is “Alone,” because it’s the first song they released where all writing credit went to the members.

[@justinbowe38]

Alone has a killer solo from kanami also

[@Jonas_S_]

This song is not in my top 3 of Band-Maid songs. It's not even in top 10. It has very special place of its own in my heart. Because it's a very special song. Genius songwriting. And Kanami's solo hits me every time. E-v-e-r-y time! 😍🥰

[@me262a1]

I hope one day they collaborate with a symphony orchestra. If they do, this song would be a great finale.

[@Davey-Boyd]

Can't believe you haven't heard this classic Chase! To me, it's a masterclass in songwriting. First time I heard it Kanami's beautiful solo coming out of the blue like that made me tear up. In polls of fans of their favourite Band-Maid tracks "Daydreaming" won consistently for some years running.

[@Kevin6059]

Will never tire of this song.

[@Parker--]

Once in a great while, some of the best bands ever find that magical spot for just a song the song is simple to grasp and instantly catchy that anyone can follow, but when you dig in, you really notice the rich depth and texture as the song weaves new threads in and out of the composition and realize there's so much more depth than one could imagine for something so easy to sing or hum along to. Band-Maid LIVES in that magical spot. They're the only ones.

[@sugaanessena3143]

One of their best. My list is ever changing but Daydreaming is always up there.

[@KittyKarenpoo]

My favorite Band Maid song. An absolute masterpiece where every single instrument is finding the right voice, tone, limitation and fit. Nothing ever the same. And my favorite Kanami lead.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Saiki has long since been the thawed Ice queen. The emotion & fragility in her voice on songs like "Daydreaming", "About Us" & "Wonderland" are there for all to see. But i'd dearly love to see Chase react to the acoustic double of "Puzzle" & "Anemone".🥲

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Ice Queen? Naw. StarQueen? Yeah! 💫🤩

[@lartranslation6929]

goosebumps

[@stevehall5128]

One cool thing (of many) about this song is that all the pro-shot concert videos of it give goosebumps in different ways. B-MDB-MT 😊

[@paulpetersen879]

Endless Story ever since I seen it from their 10th anniversary concert in Yokohama has shot its way to the top of my favorites list. Also the track Freezer is another one of my favs from the Maids. Well, actually hard to pick a favorite from their catalog. I guess whichever song I am listening to at the time is my favorite....

[@philproffitt8363]

A beauty!! I'm sure I wasn't the only one willing you to do this way back...knowing what a tonic of a song this is, for me any road, and thinking you coulda used it ❤ So uplifting to play loud in the car...Akane's cymbals are like bathing in unicorn tears. Kanami has said this was a most challenging but rewarding composition...some lovely live versions knockin around. Makes a Damn Good Day Mate 👌

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Can't believe you hadn't done this one yet. My #2 BandMaid song ... and thanks for doing the OMV

[@Charles-ce7ev]

Your analysis of Band Maid makes me feel even closer to them than I already am. And that is as close as family. Thanks Chase.

[@JayDavisAtHome]

Actually that was me. And I was surprised that you missed it. This is a much beloved song.

[@firstborn174]

Love her guitar playing on this track.

[@sjnix7044]

Wow! You’ve never seen this! That’s crazy. This is a top 3 song from them. Pure perfection. 👍

[@GaryHolloway-810]

It still happens you know. It proves the great Chase is integral in his beliefs as a reactor :)

[@blacklake13]

One of their best "slow" songs. MISA kills back there, and they slow-build to a great wall of sound on that final chorus.

[@TomRussell-cy6ll]

I can't believe you hadn't heard that yet.....How good is that !!!!!!!!!!! an absolute masterpiece by Kanami !!!!!!!

[@MusicMike747]

🤯 Chase Carneson hadn’t reacted to “Daydreaming!?” That’s what the mind blowing emoji was made for. Eloquent analysis as always 🏆 I’ve seen all your work on Band Maid material and I had assumed you’d hit all the biggest hits. Apparently not. So I reviewed your 28 videos again. There actually are some “Band Maid doing Band Maid things” videos left! Which one is the biggest, most 💥 🔥 song that is also worthy of your attention? “Moratorium,” LIVE of course 😏 Unless you’re in a sentimental mood and don’t mind crying for your audience. Then it’s the live version of “Endless Story.”

[@laughingbuddha2948]

Saiki an ice queen? I'll tell you , if it comes with such a warm and lovely voice, the Titanic was a small price to pay.

[@Prophet12]

Thanks Chase. You can never tire of listening to a Band-Maid song. There is so much going on underneath the main melody, you can hear somewthing new every time you listen. I recorded this live in Boston. If you are ever interested, check it out.

[@hiawatha.g]

Well, I have around 150 favorite Band-maid songs, but this has long been one of my favorite favorites. When they do this live there are no dry eyes in the house. Simply amazing.

[@phaeron]

I just had to check if today is my birthday. 🤭 Ever since your first video on B-M, I've been looking forward to hearing your opinion on 'Daydreaming'. Why? Well, #2-10 on my list of favorites by these ladies is taken up by the entire rest of their catalog, and to this day, for me, the undisputed #1 is this song. So even though today is not my birthday, thank you for this wonderful gift. 🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♂ _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊

[@elliott8339]

Thanks for the reaction. Your comments are spot on. These ladies know how to stir my soul. This song moves me every time I hear it…causing tears of joy to flow uncontrollably.

[@u28one]

Again another great review. Akane’s drumming is some of the best of any song, so in the pocket

[@stimproid]

You have done quite a few Band Maid reactions/reviews, however given their sizable catalog….tis just a drop in the bucket 😉

[@Pelamaal]

The Kanami solo all others will be compared to. Music perfection.

[@JuanSan66]

Good job sir!!. Thank you.

[@VegetaRabbit]

Kanami played a new intro for this song, that is quite beautiful, at the Yokohama concert. New into for Daydreaming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o57Ni5qan9Rjqdk

Please check out the live version(s) of Day Dreaming. I think you will enjoy it.

[@crabuki1273]

Thumbs up for Chase!

[@gilthylaiste7991]

I have to say I was on the fence about them but then I saw them at their special show with The Warning and honestly I’m sold. I’m on a deep dive on their music to prepare for the next time I see them live so I can really sing along.

[@ltrskltr]

This is most emotional guitar solo I’ve ever heard and my favorite from Kanami

[@thissailorja]

That Band Maid out does U2 in their style!!! One of my favorite songs!!

[@1947dd]

Hey my friend, Enjoyed listening to this one again with you. As far as lyrically, its a love song (essentially). See you on Friday afternoon!

[@ChaseCarneson]

MY DUDE!!!! Thank you for this. Really appreciate it.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Congrats for the suggestion & the shout out Mr Davis.🤗

[@piotrrudak5392]

Chase, you definitely should react to Dirty Loops - "Work Sh*t Out". I'm pretty sure you will fall in love with this band right away.

[@SamuelR007]

This song is so great. The way it hits during the building up to and into the sole just.... right in the feels. Every. Single. Time. Kanami's guitar reverb/echo whatever it is (I'm not a musician) is super reminiscent of the way The Edge of U2 like to do some of his song. Even though Bono can suck it from the back, the guitar work is pretty great. If, when Saiki sings, "Feel my soul" and you don't feel it in your own soul... at that point you should stop listening. This isn't the song/band for you.

[@stealthcabbie1336]

Daydreaming..... A Band-Maid Classic.

[@bishopsteiner7134]

wow, a bit boggled this one slipped by so long..it's a top 5 favorite Band Maid song for me. Seems to juggle hope, longing and unrequited love... and then all the anguish and desire just explodes in Kanami's searing solo.... which is such a beautiful contrast to the song up to that point. And then after one more soaring chorus, it ends in that melancholic longing...... I think that may still be my favorite Mincho solo because of how emotive and raw it was.

[@chrisbergsten1429]

Ohhh, Arizona time is tricky because AZ doesn't do DST! So part of the year they're out of sync with the rest of their timezone. XD Daydreaming is still pretty high on a lot of fans' favorite lists. I think of it as a sneaky showoff song for Akane... most people focus on Saiki or Kanami, but IMO Akane is the one driving a lot of this song and her choices are so unexpected. I always look forward to the explosive solo, of course, but after that, those few off-beat cymbal hits popping off like fireworks over the last chorus!

[@greylocke100]

Slight bone to pick with you Chase. Now that you have reacted to the studio version, you NEED to react to both the Zepp Tokyo version and the Yokohama version. Trust me, you really really really NEED to react to those two versions as well.

[@stevehall5128]

I must agree. Freakin' feels galore on those with an audience and the stage presentations.

[@chuckvelten5337]

I don't know the behind the scenes workings of your channel. But so many other reactors have viewed this with no cover up of the video and no issues from what I understand. Good luck.

[@luimanprivatni8030]

Good old Chase... I know that feeling when your hands fly up in the air, and splash in... delay.... They are masters of false buildups. BD have only two speeds in gearbox: fast and faster... Looks like hound dogs, even in balady songs: "steady...steady..." but eventually they run away anyway

[@stevehall5128]

Honestly, the "build up in the bridge only to bring it waaaaay down and then just ERUPT" is such a trademark move of theirs that it should get boring, but they make it both interesting and transcendent every time.

[@lurkmerchant]

If you think this is sweet, check out Anemone. I bet most people suggest the live acoustic duet performance of Saiki and Kanami, while admittedly beautiful, you can't miss original electric version. 😢😢😢 Page, Mirage, Wonderland...so many mid-tempo gems there.

My interpretation of the lyrics. Woman, in the early morning, lying half awake next to her old former lover, daydreaming about them getting back together. Wondering if he feels the same, "feel my soul" and afraid to wake up and find it was all a dream.
