Devin Townsend - Truth Lyrics

1:38 manemanemanemanemane <3

He should change his name to epic godsend

When God sends his most brutal angel vanguard to murder us all.

This sounds better then both album versions...

Beautiful!

Every Devy song has it's one the front runners. At 48 he's really grown into a beast of progressive rock. A true genius for sure

TURN DOWN THE DRUMS. Jesus Fucking Christ.

Haven't heard anything like this since Rush Clockwork Angels!!
Like It alot!!!

Devin, please! Make an album with David Gilmour and Peter Gabriel! It would be the Seventh Heaven;)

Well, that was pretty f'ing epic.

Ah drums and bazz , so nice, really good stuff!

I love that some of the symphony members don't really seem to be into it, some look like they are having fun with it at least and the kid on the piano is just openly digging the shit out of the entire show. ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

мощно, чёрт возьми!

truth is from infinity

i pee and poop instead of wump

Didn't like the low "Hallelujah"'s but apart from that, epic!

Это достойно Гимна галактики "Млечный Путь" на Вселенской презентации ...

Fucking REAL , Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! ! !!!! !!

1 word - EPIC!

Truly the Mozart of our time. His music is always larger than life itself

woow just woow

damn would have loved to have been there... instead of listening through this compressed mix D:

Being there felt like the most emotional dream. Still can't believe it was real. I wish it would have never ended

Anyone else remember the original version of this song back in 1999?

if all the people who bitch about the mix of this would know that Devin likes his guitars and vocals to be understated in his mixes. He has said so and acknowledges the echo as well. That's his taste. He's mentioned how his father would always complain that his guitar and vocals were too low in the mix and had too much echo. I wish this particular mix, youtube compressed as it is, had the guitars about 3db higher in the mix and that would do it for me.

just ordered the set so we'll see if the dvd adn discs sound a lot different than what we hear in this...

Dear Mr Townsend
Would you kindly consider a collaboration with the delightful Anneke Van Giersbergen and Anathema,it really would make me a happy person,much love...Tony :) xxxx

you are joking right ?

That quality tho

I love when metal bands use orchestra! 😍❤️❤️

They could have turned the kick up a little more

I, I, I!!!!
>dumdudumdumddumdum
I, I, I!!!!
>dumdudumdumddumdum
\m/

Well now that Neil Peart had to hang the sticks up, CRAP THIS DRUMMER IS #1 on my list, hell I'll even take a recording of his tracks solo , got Bonhem's power

EPIC!!!!!

This guy needs to be promoted!! everyone in this world who likes good music must listen to this guy

Sterile drums- way too high. Really wanted to buy this too : (

Wow - what a job.

I’ve been really sick and tired of the same old radio mix of the same over produced, commercialized bullshit “rock” or “metal” music out there. DTP is a goddamn breath of fresh air you can always come back to. I just wonder what would happen if Jasta would produce one. Could be fuckn wild?

definition of overkill. the audience is, or should be, there for one person on that stage. dev.

My biggest regret in my so called "adult life" is not buying tickets to this show when I had the chance :'(

This is spectacularly beautiful.

nice bowl cut mr piano man ;)

Must have been facken awesome to hear this in person.

Anybody that categorizes what they do as a "Project" is not operating on an a level that you could consider aesthetic. Artists write music. Artists record albums. Construction crews and land developers do Projects. He's taken Children's Music (Heavy Metal) and overblown it with a full Orchestra. You can see how bored the players are and nobody is looking at each other. They're phoning it in and there is nothing more boring than and uninspired orchestral performance. You absolutely can not hear them over the amplified Guitar and Drums.

That advertisement at the very end really knows how to ruin a moment.

@2:14 that rich voice in the background. Unreal!

Bloody awesome!

Old version of truth>this version

The sound crew really did a world class job, who ever mixed those drums deserves an award.

what an amazing sendoff for dtp. bittersweet, none the less

I am literally heart broken that I didn't get a chance to see the DTP live. It hurts when I think about it..But i couldn't make it to any of their concerts and all I have left is to watch these incredible performances and dream about them reuniting sometime in the future. I envy everyone who saw these incredible human beings live.

Nice mix...yikes... :/

For those of you worrying about the audio quality, four things to bear in mind:

1. On EVERY orchestral metal project, there are parts where they want hints of things so certain instruments will sound quiet by comparison in areas. Hence the horns and percussion getting a big boost.

2. Truth, as per the Transcendence arrangement, is HEAVILY orchestrated so the orcgestra are, more or less, sorting MJPs synth. Mike is likely playing his parts as underlay for a guide, hence why the backing track is rather prevent.

3. The first song will ALWAYS have sound difficulty regardless of mix. The tech (both studio and live) will need to accomodate for the fact that it is the FIRST TIME some of these songs are played with every musician in it's entirety. The first song will be used as a balance.

4. The Transcendence songs have heavy orchestration in the backing track as is. They won't change a great deal of what is already on the track... but Stormbending and the rest of the set were fucking incredible.

Fret not folks. It was a blinder.

this is too beautiful to be described... genuinely amazing!!

Ok even if I can also argue on the mix here, I need this BluRay NOW

Wow.
--Just.....wow.

All hail Lord Voldermort

This would give a horn to a snowman 🤘🎸🥁

drum production is off the charts!

epic epic epic

Can Hardly wait for the release of the DVD. I have checked the track listing, and FINALLY, I get to see a live version of GAIA!!!!!!Awesome! ONe of my faves that he never seems to play

The Dev I know would never need an orchestra behind him, this is crap.

You know you’ve made it in metal when you have a backing orchestra and fog machines. 🤗

Check us out if you like Devin Townsend, and tell us what you think. Cheers :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kx6Iy9kvyg

MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY

Just pre ordered my copy of this. I CAN'T WAIT!

Can't wait to hear Deadhead!

using headphone and its awesome

Damn Epic Brilliant Genius Guys !... and Devin is the most incredible talented composer I've ever heard !...
Can't wait for the bluray !

Thank god the orchestra has been mixed right
After the gig all anyone was saying was, could you hear the orchestra at all?

god, this fucking sound!!!! so fucking perfect

The master becomes truth

Holy crap Dave is on the right?

looks and sounds amazing. when can i preorder?!?!

BILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Funeral", "The Death of Music", and "Deep Peace" with the orchestra.... my god that's gonna be amazing...

The orchestra wasn't around for the Ocean Machine half of the show. But they definitely had some gems...Canada, Om... DEEP PEACE <3

Dude's snare is fucking epic.

I love 1:05 ... "What? Hey, it's a gig!"

Just amazing.

Why is Dora The Explorer conducting the orchestra?

While it's subdued in the mix, I can definitely hear the orchestra, and they're fantastic.

* Top Show Intro ! Yes ! *

Simply WOW! New Fan now! Just heard this yesterday and selected it because of the cool album art cover, and curious and never heard Devin's band before, EPIC indeed! Crank this up on studio monitors, Awesome!

Can’t hear the orchestra 😔

Goosebumps....

That is all...now, continue with your orgasm....

Oh wooooooowwwwww

The best drum sound they’ve ever produced, live or studio.

2:26 right on snare

OMG
Jaw
Floor

I got that same Korg Triton taktile. I feel cool now.

This sounds so gorgeous!

The pianist drumming along at 1:19 haha, awesome.

I've spotted him too: I think it was hard to refrain from that :D

I believe this is the same guy who gesticulates noticeably when Dev strums the up-picked chord right as the vocals come in on "Deep Peace." You can tell he really feels the music as he's playing it and as it's happening around him

I just checked and, yeah, same guy:
https://youtu.be/ObDoiWo417g?t=30
Watch around 30 seconds in just in case my timestamp thing doesn't work

I cried. I need this back in my life. The trip to Bulgaria was the most amazing even in my life.

I just shat myself.

love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this song, love Devin, but the orch is so low in the mix you can barely hear it! Wtf!
