Devin Townsend - Gato Lyrics

I was so stoked to finally, after seeing Devin live 6 times before, to hear them play songs from Ki. Was the highlight of the night for sure. Great show in Turku!

Same here, Roxy, Prague. Ki songs with Ché, oh my god.

So we've come....to this place.....😥

3:50 That's the Dark Crystal Main Theme.
Also used in his Strapping Young Lad song, "Skeksis".

La canción para Macri xD

Verónica Darrell mal

Almost every track on almost every album by Devin is at the very least good!!!! Often wonderful, not seldom brilliant. That is how good he is, and how far-reaching and diverse his talent is.

awesome

Man that symbol is cool. 

love BTBAM, love QOTSA, love DEVIN!

There is no one quite like him. Only one other artist matches the diversity of his talents, and that is the late, great Frank Zappa. But I actually prefer Devis, no matter how much I worship Frank.

agree. how about karnivool?

"Gato" is my nickname in real life : D

Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people I'm a bad, bad man.

Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people I'm a black cat man.

Maybe your taste in music just sucks. And so do your opinions in general.

*facepalm. I thought that's wat he said too but no, it's Cat people and fat people.

you like shitty music so i cant recommend a devy you would enjoy

"Cat people"
Dumbass.
Gato means cat

"Beware the black people, beware the black people"

Devin?! You bigoted son of a bitch!!!!

psychostew911 - where in the lyrics does it say that.

Please read below..

So you and I, we've come to this place
And never did I believe that I'd survive
Now what ever happens know that I'm about honor...
...honor among thieves (amen)
So you and I, we talk a little
About the themes and all the thinking, then I die...
...a little
whatever happened about honoring thy father, mother...

...honor me.

Backtrack easy, everything's easy...tell me again?
'Is it us or them, us or them?'
Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people and I'm a bad man...

So you and I, we talk a little...
About the fate of all those days and then I DIE.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOUR WORDS ABOUT HONOR?!?

...HONOR AMONG MEN!!!

Backtrack easy, everything's easy...tell me again?
'Is it us or them, us or them?'
Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people I'm a bad, bad man...

So you and I, we've come to this place
And never did I believe that I'd survive...this...
Now what ever happens know that I'm about honor...
...honor, honor, honor...

Backtrack people, everythings evil...tell me again?
'Is it us or them, us or them?'
Backtrack people, beware the vat people, prepare the cat people
Beware the bad people I'm a black cat man...

psychostew911 I heard beware the fat people lol

Really?

Devin Townsend >LEGEND!

@JordanECMusic She's also in the song Heaven Send.

Devin is my all time favourite artist.

Ché Dorval is the female singing in this song based on an interview with Devin Townsend. Google it and you will find it

@bovinemarauder sorry that voice is not Anneke's.

I love you Devin.

@alphaenemy
godsmack are indeed rubbish...wholeheartedly agree..

@Magyar126 lol, no...Sully's a hack. You should start talking to Devin Townsend fans to find better music than Godsmack. Seriously terrible artisan and musicianship in that band. Just awful.

prog your face off

@Radonwings I know that. But "ov" looks cooler. My lingo I'll do as I please with it.

EVERYTHING'S EVIL

i've got metal joints, beat me up for silver points

@jeebles1 That's the best part!!!!!

honestly going to see him at vagos but but but i don't like it too much *fearrrrr , might be something in my ears ...

HONOR AMONG MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

For those ov you unaware ov Wikipedia the other singer on Ki is Ché Aimee Dorval.

To those that do not know, Gato is spanish and means "cat", hence the repeated usage of the word "cat"

I love it! This is my famost sound! Deep is my soul!

@bovinemarauder False, it is Ché Aimee Dorval, a folk singer from Vancouver.

@Bovinemarauder I don't think it's Anneke ( fun fact: pronounced An-nuh-kuh) but then again, can't be sure :p

bass at 1:05 made me eargasm

@qotsa073 Ziltoid the Omnicient, Physicist. If you like crazy oldskool in yo face metal check out Strapping Young Lad. but I have to say, there is not a single song I know of Devin's that sucks, but I am unsure of your tastes as I have never heard this BtBam band.

@thorodinson89 I believe it is a girl called Anneke, not sure of the spelling, it is a European name. I think it is the chick that did the vocals in Addicted as well. Check out the remake of Hyperdrive from Ziltoid album. Don't take my word for it but I think it is the same chick! Peace

Seen him at Bloodstock few days ago,he was incredible.

@uchihunk Totally agree dude, I hope you have heard Ziltoid the Omniscient?

I noticed Hyperdrive is redone on Addicted with a girl on vocals. It is awesome but the original is better in my opinion! Maybe it was because I heard it before the Addicted remake!
Peace

I really love the laidback approach at the beginning...and then it turns into something of a masterpiece indeed:)

There is something just scary about this. Amazing.

Try Vampira or Funeral.

Che Aimee.

this is awesome!!! its chill brutality!!!

who is the chick singing with him at 1:43?

as long as you like DT in general and hate pop music then it's ok lol :D

Addicitve...

Man this stuff is calm; it also gives me a feeling of loneliness.

I love this song, and how it builds up to almost-metal, but never goes over the edge.
Can't wait for Addicted!

I find Coast is one of my least favorite hahaha I think Ki is the best...but that's just me :)

vocal melody between 48-55 is class

best song on album along with coast

Truly original refreshing music. Love it.

I think this song has to do with his inner spiritual position. Like hes talking to something that isnt there. God perhaps. Repenting a little on the guilty feelings he has about some of his music. Lying about image, building and perfecting the fabric of his sounds that he knows his fans will be moved by yet again. Seems to be acknowledging guilt to me anyway.

BACKTRACK PEOPLE, EVERYTHING'S EVIL

I LOOOOOVE this song, and the whole cd. I can not wait for the next 3 albums

Thats progressive.

there is one God.. and his name be Devin Townsend!

such a good song :P can't wait to buy this.

What a fucking great song!! Excelent.
