The Dear Hunter "Lillian"

The Dear Hunter "Lillian" off of the album, "The Color Spectrum"

[@michaelcaboose5388]

She was stuck in pictures While he passed time in film Oh silly fame, why do you play? Frame by frame, day by day With reels changing over And dropping to the sides Oh, solemn soul see where you are And look to the sides what you discard Press your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie When the cameras roll, hide away your soul Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain But don't get stuck in something you hate Bring me the eyes of the earth Cut off the tongue of the world Keep the ends close in sight to the means that imply You're not living the life that you're worth Pressing your lips to mine, breathe in deep and lie When the cameras roll, hide away your soul Flashing your eyes to sell, lying to yourself Dodging truth form the start, hide away your heart Turn around forge a smile entertain But don't get stuck in something painful Something worse than nothing We could have been smart With the plot from the start Mistakes from the spark We knew it wasn't love Breathe in deep and lie When the cameras roll Hide away your soul Flash your eyes, forge a smile, entertain

[@not-a-worm]

Thank you

[@bensmyth450]

"But don't get stuck in something you hate" is such an excellent line

[@InfamousTrapper25]

Agreed. Violet has the best choruses i have ever heard in my life

[@GuardianOfDandelions]

I can't believe I found this from Saints Row 3. It's amazing what you find by the means that you would least expect. This is probably now my favorite Indie band, and one of my favorite bands in general.

[@maxwell8773]

GuardianOfDandelions i thought i accidentally put this song into the game’s radio... huh.

[@WVUCE]

Yes! I initially heard "In Cauda Venenum" in Saints Row the Third but I didn't get into the Dear Hunter until years later. I completely freaked out when I realized that I had been listening to one of my favorite bands for years before I even got into them.

[@arigentum]

@@WVUCE im a bit late to the party, but i dod the same exact thing.

[@bungersinyourarea]

Dear Hunter was in a saints row game?

[@Professor_Genki7]

Thats exactly how i found this band bro.

[@NickBrick]

Been listening to this album a lot lately. This, and Deny It All, are my favorites.

[@NightwalkReal]

Same!

[@PeknPikle]

For sure. All of Casey's work is brilliant, but choruses is where he shines.

[@jimmy0070077]

Honestly, one of the best songs I've ever heard. And Violet reminds me of the acts, especially time signature wise (This song has a lot of 3/4. with like a measure of 2/4 every now and then)

[@darkphoenix2]

I wish this song never ended

[@Devnul]

This song is so beautiful.

[@FluxKompasitor]

I'm just waiting for more tour dates so I can finally see them live. I need to feel this in my bones lol

[@BigBadBalrog]

This Body and this one give me goosebumps every single time.

[@LetoBeats]

The one dislike had to be an accident...this song is so powerful, and the mix on it is loud, crystal clear, and very dynamic!

[@envyassureddrummer]

Such a beautifully written song

[@Malanaks]

My Favourite song on the Album. Violet is amazing.

[@droptherapy2085]

I couldn't get past green and I regret not trying to listen past it earlier

[@TheDefiantBomb]

Their on tour with coheed and 3 man they all rocked the house of blues in Cleveland..damn shit was so dope

[@IntoRedOceans]

Simply amazing lyrics.

[@lapepimarsaille]

lovely song....i hope they ll be famous one day!

[@christyclarissemercier6359]

Showing up 9+ years late how fun

[@matthewflorio2705]

I feel your pain, friend.

[@baneXVII]

Seriously, I can't understand how major fucking music companies don't sign this band up! Artists with such imense talent, quality and creativity are like goldmines for them. If I had lots of money I would certainly invest on Dear Hunter. The world needs to know about them! \m/\m/

[@bensmyth450]

L take. It's not about money.

[@mrspiral13]

Exactly, for a band/musician to remain pure creatively, they must avoid big companies getting their hands on their creative process @@bensmyth450

[@branflakes325]

Absolutely genius.

[@KCPILETTO]

I cant believe how awesome the color spectrum came out...This may be my fave track though.

[@mcwethy122667]

Can"t wait to go see them tomorow!!:)

[@technicality1]

The Dear Hunter in song form.

[@siddarthsanjay]

Casey writes the best choruses everr...oh god.

[@Sambodden107]

Has anyone listened to this high..you can picture everything he's saying, and the sound 10X more amazing...I got lost in this song.

[@bybrightcandlelight]

oh yeah. it's the best song to listen to during that time. it's perfect

[@geddoe316]

lol

[@viso4528]

+Sam Bodden Fairly certain you can get lost in a lot of things when you're stoned, from what I hear.

[@ramblersm]

+Sam Bodden precisely what i am doing right now.

[@hanserfratz]

i dont need to get high to get lost in this song

[@SevenStepsAway]

cannot wait for my vinyl to arrive!!

[@patelkrishna750]

The show choir from John Burroughs High School "Powerhose 2013" did this song it was amazing :)

[@chadwickdavis4554]

Any video of that ? I'd love to see it if so .

[@CHALKBARDZ]

i'm so glad that i found the dear hunter. the color the spectrum has to be my favorite album by far (along with act III) and this is one of the many songs that i can never get out of my head and i'm actually okay with it! now, i know i'm gonna sound all quirky and what not but bear with me here. i'm only 13 and prefer this kind of music, as in indie rock and such as compared to the popular stuff you hear on the radios non stop. it's all repetitive and not very original, while this group really hit the nail on the head when it comes to originality and keeping it fresh! (call me quirky if you must) honestly, i don't think i've ever found a band that could calm me down completely with just one song as well as keep me super motivated to actually want to do stuff with my life, like drawing for example. about 95% of my ideas for doodles and such originate from these songs in some way, shape or form. i apologize for my rambling and sounding all mushy and such, but the amount of love i have for the dear hunter is overwhelming to me! if you made it down to here, howdy!

[@jalendrosen9108]

I'm glad you found something you like, and I'm always glad to see this fantastic band get a new fan. That said, I always advise people to keep an open mind about music and musical tastes. There is plenty of music out there and a ton of it won't appeal to many people but that doesn't mean it isn't music or that it's bad music, it's just not music that appeals to you/them/whoever. There is so much out there and you may one day find that some of your favorite songs belong to genres you're not generally a big fan of and I've always thought that is one of the beautiful thing about music. If you keep an open mind, music that you love will find you, whether it's popular or obscure. Anyway, I realize no one asked my opinion but if you managed to read through it I appreciate the consideration.

[@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1]

There should be more waltz in rock music PERIOD.

[@ceepaymo]

these guys deserve to be more famous than 3,863 views per video.. fuck that

[@SvrakaMagpie]

This is so good I'm tearing up right now, I'm so so happy they continued making this amazing music!

[@federz666]

COME TO BRAZIL!

[@yodamvpplayer]

Violet to white is the normal dear hunter range of music and improved upon from Casey, this color spectrum feels like an experiment for him to do something really different and make the albums progressing in song organization, progressiveness, writing style according to their colors. Older fans may enjoy the later albums because it reminds them of the same unique style the dear hunter introduced with act 1 and evolved in act 2. This project was something unique I could only attribute to tdh.

[@zebekias3]

Incredible tune

[@Mat23]

I agree. I find Violet very similar to the previous three albums

[@virus-eiiz]

this song is so fucking tragic and beautiful, tdh's music is so unique and lovely

[@xXshadow187Xx]

Very underrated song.

[@tylerturan9753]

Thanks, @kitty0706 for shining light on this amazing band. Rest in Peace

[@idapwnone]

it's one guy playing everything except drums

[@Longshotz5798]

Tyler Turan Wait, which kitty video had Dear Hunter?? I love his stuff, I must have missed it!! He introduced me to so much music, tho

[@thebaddest4226]

i love how the lyrics were written by a guy at my school. And they bought them from him! Good job Austin! :)

[@wsupani1181]

Cheyenne Travis Woah really??? That's awesome

[@irisforsyth7288]
