Dance Gavin Dance - Carl Barker Lyrics

So crazy to think this was a song written in the 70s and was never released so they took it on. They said it themselves in concert last year

237 idiots

3:24 💪🎃

Still bumping in 2020

I hope the new DGD fans can appreciate this.

Of all the DGD fans. Tilian fans are the most open to all DGD eras

This album will always be known as “that one DGD album” that there was just something special about. Can’t describe why.

My buddy used to wear that black shirt on the left at the end all the time at work. I asked him about it one day and discovered DGD and never looked back.

Best hook of all time award goes to....

8 years later still my fav DGD song

whose doing that volta like guitar solar at 3:00?

You finished the chapter my guy, and it was 10/10 in my mind.
RIP D.G.D. with Kurt :(

If Galaxy Brain was a song

8 years later and this song still hits hard. Great work guys and continue growing!

This song make mah Hert wholesome

happenis

2019 and I’m disappointed I just now discovered how amazing this song is

I guess I still miss you...

Quoted this song in my fb status 8 years ago today, when I was 15 lol. Glad I found it again!

The price is wrong, BITCH!

John's vocals are so weak now; they should have just got rid of him. He seems like a great guy but he sounds like my little brothers when they throw temper tantrums. Dude sounds like a pre-pubescent little boy. Will's vocals are just so much more powerful and hardcore.

YOU'D ALWAYS SAY WE'D WIN THE LOTTERY SOMEDAY SO I WOULDNT HAVE TO GO AWAY, I SHOULD HAVE KNOW THAT I HAD IT ALL ALONG BUT I DIDNT KNOW TILL YOU WERE GOOOONE.

2019 and going on a nostalgia run.

Kurt is belong to DGD

It’s actually insane how many memories I have listening to this song and dgd. It’s almost as I can remember what I was doing and where I was every time I listen to this song. Some of the best experiences just sitting in a car with headphones.

"Jes-You, Jes-Me, Jesus".
well, fuck.
I don't know what that means but at the same time I kinda do.

Me every time I listen to this song: "That was sprite running down my cheeks, not tears."

it's 2018 and i still have this on repeat.

3:41 is great part of song

officially the greatest song i've ever heard, composition-wise

The screaming could use a little work, but the rest of the vocals are purrrre gold 😻

Dance Gavin Dance is A awesome Great Band.😎 🎤🎸🎶 Keep it going guys

I don't understand it but everytime I listen to this song I forget how to breathe, it's just so breathtaking. Had this song on repeat since March 2017.

Can anyone recommend me another one of their songs kinda like this one? Digging this song and wanna listen to something just like it.

Try out chucky vs the giant tortoise.

Try out Alex English, it's pretty good.

July 2018 anyone?

I didn't know till you were gone..

Tilian corrected their shitty vocals.

Still my favorite dance gavin song

best song on the album

Love this

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song. love love love

Deftones is a awesome band

I relate to this so much now

i love how the rhythm in the intro is panned on opposite sides for both versions of this song

The best song in my opinion

Dgd saved my life 😘

2018???

By the way guys I still love Tillian, lmao

800th comment,



I don't mind the swan screams as much anymore

i guess i still miss you

Your more than just a bathroom disease

I had this song stuck in my head all day at work today. "Just because you move your hips, doesn't mean that you exist. Just because you move your lips doesn't mean that you exist. Can we just take A f*^%#@!g break? 'Cause I feel like I have got nothing left, nothing left. I guess I still miss you. Oh well, it's me and you What else should we do when talking is for functioning people? I guess I still miss you, but talking is for functioning people. I guess I still miss you" Makes me think of my crush and our nonexistent friendship/relationship. My relationship with her is fictional and I think about her all the time. Makes me want to "break up with her", but I can't even do that because we don't talk to each other.

God..!!.. how i would love to meet another soul in my life that loves this song/band as much as i have in my fucking time on this planet.

Can someone please edit the childish screaming parts out of all their songs? They would be perfect then, since their musical and clean singing parts are on point.

GERntleMAN no

I have a new respect for Kurt after hearing this. He's good. I'm still a fan of Tilian, but Kurt is good af

And now this moment Idk what else to thiiiiink...

This album brings great cheer to me. Always has an always will.

"You always said we'd win the lottery one day,so I wouldn't have to go away. I should've known,that I had it all along. But I didn't know till you were gone." One of my favorite lyrics of all time.

is it safe to say this could be one of the best songs ever written?

Its safe to say you dig the backseat

This song right here is personal on a whole other level with me. the kooing in Kurt's voice and the chorus bring peace too my ears and all the years and long walks I took with this song.

There is good songs, then there is this. Perfect. Dgd never fails too impress, rep Sacramento! Fuckin dope!

man i thought i knew what will was screaming but i was wrong

He is lol, Jon Mess wasn't on this album.

sanderstrebor they meant the lyrics

I don't think D G D ever had a bad song. Started listening to em' back in 2012-13 around that year

i liked Kurt the best

The funky ballad vibes into this one <3

theres just something so special about that chorus, the way it harmonizes together and Kurt's vocals give me chills every time...favorite song of all time.

1 Million! :)

You always said we'd win the lottery some day so I wouldn't have to go away

I wonder if he ever won the lottery?

I forgot how much I loved this somg

sooooo for years and years ive never really read the lyrics to this song. i always thought it said. but talking is for fuck shit and people. lol

So I only found DGD this mouth and have yet to find a song I don't love and now I have about 4 gigabyte on my phone dedicated to them

is that weird?

I guess I still miss Kurt...

I can't help but notice the supportive community of commentors following this band. On YouTube. Holy hell, kudos to this band for not having a bunch of douchbag followers!

I could listen to these guys all day everyday. They hit every musical desire and nothing sounds the same. Bliss in every chorus and chord!

I love DGD videos because no one is talking shit, haha. Rare for youtube or the internet in general. :)

Kurt is best

Tilian = best live
Kurt = best lyrics
Jonny = best mullet

Tilian better singer than johnny IMO, remember its also about vocal consistency and phrasing. and tilian has it all.

This has me dying hahahahahahaha

Matt = best beard

Jamie Anderson Kurt = bet singer

Xergius honestly Ive always liked johnny’s voice more than tilian since I never liked the more relaxed parts of the song lol. I listen to secret band a little more than dgd BUT my opinion ig:/

Who did the unclean vocals on this song? Doesn't really sound like Jon Mess' vocals.

Hanketsu Will and Kurt

@Aidan The Duck Cool, thanks.

I feel like if DGD have a magnum opus it'd be this. But damn they don't have a weak song on anything.

and now at this moment idk what else to think

you guys should play the tree city version and this version at the same time! it's awsome

I am a Tilian-era fan, but goddam this song is one of the best.

they made a version with Tilian and it's good but I prefer Kurt.

I completely agree. I am a Tillian fan all the way but the style of this song just gets me.

I guess I still miss you

This song makes me cry so hard.

Moo guy buy

I firmly believe Johnny Craig being in this band was garbage and the music was not at all good (well the instrumental and anything not Johnny Craig was good, just fuck Johnny Craig)

From a technical point of view, Craig most certainly has to be the most talented vocalist out of the three. He is a trash human being but certainly a far better singer than Kurt (no disrespect).

I just don't think him as a person or vocalist belonged in this band

@ProfoundChair I can kinda see what you mean, even though I love pretty much the entirety of Downtown Battle Mountain. Tilian's voice works well in this band, I gotta admit. The new stuff they keep pumping out is just unreal.

What is this? A rare conversation which doesn't devolve into people destroying other people because of their opinions on DGD vocalists? Who knew right?

Travis is a God

Why is are old fans of this band such assholes...smh...

they think they're cooler for being here during the different eras

Been a fan since '06, still no complaints here ;)

ITop such grammar lol

Cody Edwards Thisss

I fuckin love kurt but his not so much his live performance

I prefer this version...but what would be the most perfect is Kurt Travis vocals on everything else from the Tree City Sessions version. :)

<3 <3 <3

The guitar in this song reminds me of Charlie Murder. Any of you gamers out there may know.

Can we just take a fucking break!!!

Johnny and Kurt had the best locals. I will take them over Tilian any day! He sounds like a little girl lol

tilian is better than both of them put together cunt

+dan wright are you on crack? Jonny and Kurt rocked my socks. Tilian sounds like he belongs in pierce the veil. I loved him in tides of man, but I dont like him with DGD.

I agree .

After hearing both versions, I prefer Tilian's honestly. He nails this song. Nothing against Kurt

oh god no. Tilians vocals sound like sleep I sirens. too girly for me! I love both Johnny and Kurt in the band but I cant stand the past two albums. The first one tilian put out wasnt BAD but it wasnt great and the second album he put out we own the night...yeah it sucked ass.

oh god no. Tilians vocals sound like sleep I sirens. too girly for me! I love both Johnny and Kurt in the band but I cant stand the past two albums. The first one tilian put out wasnt BAD but it wasnt great and the second album he put out we own the night...yeah it sucked ass.

Probably because you've just discovered dgd recently. Tilian is good, but he gets over saturated VERY quickly I think. I really wish he could have went with saosin or emarosa, as those were perfect fits for him

+Shiv3rMeTimberz i disagree completely. So far 3 albums with a 4th on the way and I still love Tilian. I hope he sticks around for a while.

Late to the party, what I don't like about the Tree City version is that Tilian doesn't sing the backing vocals that Kurt's put in there (I can't ever finish this chapter). It makes this song. TIlian is a far better singer than Kurt from a purely technical perspective. Kurt seems to me to be a better song writer, and is able to deliver his emotion better. He reminds me some what of Geoff Rickley of Thursday. Awful singer, but really knows how to bring out emotions to his songs.

Who screamed on this album? Did Kurt do it all?

+Savanna Frederick lol? Jon left the band after their self titled album and rejoined after happiness.

Will Swan performed uncleans on this album.Mess had left the band.

You must be new here. Jon left after Deathstar aka Self Titled, due to college, lyme disease, as well as Eric Lodge leaving. Will does all the screamed vocals on Happiness. Look up videos from when they were touring off this album.

Will did, I think. Jon left for some reason? (I learned a lot today. This, and, that Jonny sung for DTBM2. (ithoughtitwaskurt)

Each singer has a distinct voice.How is this even possible lol

Is it just me or does DGD seem like a super underated band

Devon McGrann *laughs in 2006 scene kid*

Star Maynard lol same

I'm glad they're not, there's be a whole lot of normies and it would get looked over and other Dgd listeners would click the same way we do now

Its just you man!

It is pretty underrated compared to many others and clearly dgd is better but others got super success..Seems dat' way

I miss Kurt

We all mis him. I hope he team up with Zach in some project and create another masterpiece.

Zach helped kurt make his everything is beautiful solo record and kurt also sings on two strawberry girls songs (zachs band)

Eternity Forever now, too. ❤️❤️❤️

da scarecrow which album did Zach help Kurt write?

this song has made my day everyday for 3 years straight

That's really quite special. You should see about flying down to see Sean Hall at Foundation8 or whatever, see if you can get a geometric design centered around the forest. :P
Check out his stuff on Instagram at least. It's all perfectly designed stuff. Sacred geometry etc

Lucas Jenkins dude i fucking love owls, only creature that can stare at a soul

Foxes are similar for me. They beg the soul, instead.

three years and a half in total, no kidding

So much feels for this song ❤

jonny craig will always be best than tillian, tillian just sounds too soft and girlish for this band

Johnny had no impact on this album, and neither did Tillian lmao

+Ashley Lawson *yawn* good to know

+Nelly Perez all Kurt Travis homie best Dgd vocalist

"jonny will always be best than tilian"

i can best grammar too nelly

You'd always say we'd win the lottery someday so I wouldn't have to go away, I should have known that I had it all along but I didn't know til you were gone. I used to sing that with my boyfriend all the time. I sadly lost him to a tragic accident in 2013 :( this song gets to me.

Amie Phillips this should be the top comment cause it's real as fuck, and because the Kurt and Zach era albums were the best two DGD albums and they'll never be topped.

Taylor say some shit like that about my boy tilian and you'll be the tragic loss of 2017

ps sorry for your loss rip

I'm sorry, Amie. I hope things are okay.

I'm sorry hon.
