That moment when you listen to a song that completely reminds you of someone you're not supposed to be missing

[@ianmatthewkline8279]

This band was too good. It deserves a new comment; something left behind like a rose left on a grave

[@racoonslovepie]

I could listen to 3:02 - 4:02 on repeat for the rest of my life.

[@hisname_is_]

Touché

[@Inkpuddles]

+Princess Sophia Gah, I'm so in love that part it caught my attention, and seems like there is so much emotion in it.

[@Inkpuddles]

+Lee Do Makes my cheeks tingle haha.

[@iluvtheweeknds]

i feel the same about 0:00 - 1:00

[@zosfero]

3:02 from there on it's like the 2nd chorus to the song, it's fucking beautiful. I love everything put together in this song

[@eon6274]

I'm just about 30, but when in high school I read a book that I could never find again after returning it to the library. As I read it on my bed, I played this song and it etched itself into my memory to the point where I can only think of that book when this song rarely comes on the shuffle. It was about a single mother and her two teens who were twins, a boy and a girl, moving to a new small coastal town. The main plot was the boy falling in love and having confusing feelings about his best friend, only for them to share a night together before he disappears and ceases speaking to him and leaving him heartbroken. I can't hardly remember anything else about the book but I've been searching for it for a long ass time.

[@sovietredneck]

Tilian has the voice of a Greek god.

[@risingsamael9863]

dude i wish i had his voice.

[@iProDevon]

I am Cupid

[@MAsSiVeB0NG05]

Devon Foister Cupid is Roman, Eros is the Greek version

[@Unangelsufrido]

He surprisingly is amazing in both groups. I guess where Tilian goes, talent follows. He's amazing.

[@JasColeWood]

Was kind of upset when I found out Jonny was gone but this guy has a fantastic voice so I don't even care.

[@christianallen8391]

The drums in this song are mastered so perfectly

[@OnyxSkiesXIX]

Words cannot describe how much I wish Tilian was still in Tides of Man. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@gafuraskarov2814]

I know rise has a hell lotta metalcore bands that doesn’t make any sense in life, but they still got the best ones! Issues, DGD, PVRIS, SWS. Love rise so much

[@claudiaeatsbabies]

This song will forever be the song I find the hardest to listen to. I put all my feels into it and every time I listen to it it makes me sad and I cry. I love this song so much.

[@brittanyc3282]

i prefer tillian in tides instead of dgd... his sound is just way too different for dgd imo **2017 edit: I completely redact this statement. I still love tides tilian, but he has definitely formed his place in dgd

[@DanielMPlumb]

but when he plays live. he can hit any note he wants.

[@brittanyc3282]

Daniel Plumb but why not matt geise though? X(

[@TheDarkfire216]

***** how do you think they sound off? Personally the mix on instant gratification is amazing, and it appeals a lot to Tillian's personal taste of pop music that you hear on his solo project, while also maintaining Swan's style and the DGD sound. Acceptance speech had a heavier approach because I feel Tillian wanted to sing to the bands style to prove he could fit in their sound, and then the band started working with his style and found the sound you hear in Instant gratification. I am interested in your opinion because you might have noticed something I would definitely listen to those albums again to try and find.

[@alecdziuk6450]

I think he's good in Dance Gavin Dance when recording and writing with them. But when they play older songs recorded by either Kurt or Johnny I agree that he can't match up with the song right. But I think when DGD writes with him it's pretty awesome. :)

[@sparky37789]

Petition for Donovan Melero to do an album with dgd !

[@retaliationeffort2864]

The end of 2019 and listening to this and seeing Tilian with long hair is adorable.

[@ShadowCrowX]

I prefer their instrumental album, but this has some serious instrumental genius in it as well. And this guys vocals are pretty great

[@sjholmes101]

He's in the new Dance Gavin Dance album, too.

[@jarrodvickers1508]

I've seen you on multiple band videos that I've watched. You, sir, have good taste.

[@FormXO]

Tilian is so amazing.

[@Justumatangu2]

Formicity You’re so amazing

[@novavirus7497]

this song has a really interesting feeling to it. for the most part it switches between hopeful/sad, but especially parts like 0:27-0:37 sound almost threatening

[@QueenYanna18]

I feel like for every ten bands Rise posts on here, there's one incredible one. This is the perfect one.

[@quad7685]

So true

[@svenmammel4430]

Might be the greatest song of all time

[@nottocr8tiv3]

another underrated band

[@APromisedFavor]

I remember in 2012 browsing for bands like fall of Troy and this popped up and I knew Tillian was going to go places.

[@MyLittleFantasyWorld]

The end part gives me serious chills

[@JEFFREYNARD]

I don't know anything about this band, or the members. I just clicked on this, and I love the music, regardless of who is or was or could be in the band.

[@dancorcoran7515]

This is the one album Reach Records put out this year that didn't disappoint me.

[@Yikes.lay6]

Soooo prettyyyyy 🖤🖤🖤

[@Number37TE]

Kinda reminds me of Circa Survive for some reason

[@frutoish]

My favorite song by these guys. Such an amazing band.

[@casiolamb]

First time listening to the original version, and it's got a great feeling to it.

[@codyskyrimvolen]

meh doesnt lift a finger to this, pretty dissapointed tbh

[@koreee_alexx7905]

You know it! loll

[@nearconversion7487]

Agreed. Got a buddy who says his work in DGD far surpasses this, and I completely disagree. I generally don't care for DGD's directionless lyrics and how they bounce around genre's in one song too often. This is Tillian's best work so far IMO, though his solo stuff is also good.

[@savfrederick9238]

Korey Kline Yeah but I don't listen to them anymore, tilian doesn't match their funk

[@SunkDream17]

I was living in Detroit at the time I first heard this song. I would listen to it while speeding beyond the limits set along M-1. I gave her up. Best decision I never made.

[@puffpuffdustbunny]

I'm so obsessed with this song.

[@arice9695]

Explains my feelings so perfectly

[@PandaLubs]

i cant get enough of 0:30 to 0:49 ...like the guitar is so unf

[@BlakePlaysWoWxD]

current favorite band, i cant wait to hear their new stuff!

[@SarahLovesParamore6]

I feel like this is their best song. By far.

[@Pyrexiac]

This song gives me nostalgia of feelings I used to have for this girl

[@HyperZombieWEASEL]

I am SO glad I accidentally clicked on this link. This song is awesome!

[@itsgreenblackman]

This is my favorite song. Ever. Period. 3:00 is just beautiful!

[@TehBloodyYank556]

The same was said about Kurt before he joined. And DGD is very adaptable if you compare the DBMs, DS and Happiness. IMO he'll do nicely.

[@davidcc235]

My best friend taught me this song the first time we smoked weed 9 years ago... I still think this song is fuking amazing

Omg my first time was 9 years ago too lol

[@LeAmericain]

It is weird, because when I hear DGD i think of a distinct sound that Kurt Travis and Johnny Craig both had, but Pearson just sounds different. But, I always have faith in DGD to put out some rockin shit

[@safecampdee]

Still one of my favorite songs 😍

[@SharpShocks]

Actually Pearson left this band on 12/20/10 if my sources are correct. What an opportunity Pearson has been given to be able to work along side the likes of Swan, Mess, and Mingus. But I don't think Pearson's recruitment to dgd is official just yet. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Its meaningful music thats all you need to know

[@Urconcernsarnt5heard]

whats the category and why isn't this band popular

[@hamada7797]

You were impatient, I was a fall back. A dirty mistake, you never called back. You were salvation, I never told you I always had a notion I would fall in love with you. You were a call girl, I was your gentleman A faint illusion of your simple plan. I was salvation. You never told me you always had the notion that you knew What we could be.

found them thanks to tuneglue...love the sound

he may have gotten his inspiration from anthony green, but he did it better, and you can't deny that.

[@BigBadBalrog]

I know them both well, but I don't see how one inspired the other. It would be cool if you could elaborate, though. I love Tides and Anthony but I've never seen any connection between them.

[@TheTemplarBunny]

Does anyone know any artists (even electronic) That sound just like the parts from 0:13 to 0:24? I need some artist that have the quite soothing, yet happy and awesome sound. Thanks ahead of time if you find any ^O^

[@BigBadBalrog]

*hear* And why are you posting that here? Tides and Anthony Green aren't all that similar.
