DIIV - Taker Lyrics

those bends at the end is genius

Elliot Smith style vocals.

Shit's so dark. Exactly how I feel like these days.

This song takes me to a time in my life where I wandered around freight train yards in the snow alone.

The part from 2:51 - 3:04 is the best thing ever

Am i the only person who hears here riffs from Iron Man by BS???

Not only you xD

Saw them live in Dallas. It was an amazing show. Whenever I start thinking there's not as many good bands around anymore I find gems like DIIV

This band makes my soul wanna travel to a perfect world

Love this new album.48 years old ,and im blessed there are still solid bands making the greatest sounds.

sounds like blur and super heaven ,radiohead mixed

Loving this new album. This track has all of the feels of Slowdive, MBV, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned Starflyer 59. Quite the maturity expected from such incredible musicians.

Shoegaze es madurar

Isn't that the first half of Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' riff?

Thought the same 👉👍

So no shit now, my buddy messaged me this song and I've got candles burning and shit. The electric lights go out about midway through the tune. I'm not panicked. I glance out my window during the first real fall night of October and see the Moon ascending. Cold sunlight reflecting upon my eye.

Not a bad follow up....Plagiarising Sonic Youth this time 'round I see

the vocals are SO duster

what a song, shoegaze is back again yesss

not really....its just these guys and maybe 2 other Brooklyn bands

@Gravity do u think the world needs more shoegaze ?

@Josh Orange how about, stop 'bringing things back' and actually create original new rock subgenres? No hate towards this band, they're not bad. But their sound is nothing new. All I hear is a new generation of bands looping the prime years of alternative rock, which were the 90s imo. No wonder rap and electronic music are far beyond rock's popularity nowadays. Sounds like they're artificially keeping something alive which is maybe better off dead. The zombie that is Nu-gaze is taking in precious limited resources which could be used for beautiful new things to grow.

The first riff sounds like Black Sabbath's Iron Man.

it makes me feel like a turtle walking so slowlyyyyyy

Siamese dreamy

Surprised nobody called it yet, but this totally a Starflyer 59 rip

very jason martinish

sounds like True Widow and Nothing love child.

Beautiful. Thank you so much DIIV😍

Yoooo❤️

Man this is fucking great. I digged the more surfy style stuff but this is incredible. I agree with all the comparisons in a good way. Slowdive,whirr etc reminds be of sandy when whirr was still whirl

VOYAGER HAHAHA

So excited for this new album...

🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼

If you like this you should check out the band Narrow Head

narrow head are soo good

@michi pelle yeah they definitely deserve more attention.

Heavy, slow and ethereal. Just what we needed. Hope the new album goes that direction.

Lyrics

You watched my lips make
The promise I betrayed
The years I lived in vain
Chasing the pain with pain

Stand down

There's oil in my name
My tongue flickers like a wilting flame

Lay it all out
The path of wreckage that I cut
All in want of what?

Who were you to believe?
Your lying eyes or me?
I won't let them tie to you
The shit I put you through

Stand down

There's oil in my name
My tongue flickers like a wilting flame

Lay it all out
The path of wreckage that I cut
All in want of what?

Damn , Zach let it fly on this one. Stay well

At the end, I completely fade

depressed and sloppy such disapointing when your listen at the first album and even the second one... we ll see for this one

This is a great song. It's like MBV meets
Slowdive meets Modest Mouse

new diiv is so dark

viciante

Ohh grungy-gaze! Sounds amazing!!

Sooo good! Wanna hear the new album.

Y'all are like the peanut butter and jelly of musical atmospheres and lush beautiful soundscapes.

You guys are among best artists in the world right now.

Check out Drab Mayesty if you havn't Yet. They're breacking the scene too

So, time passes and from the previous albums 80s post-punk/new-wave (perhaps some shoegaze) we go to full-blown 90s shoegaze and grunge for this one. Its like all these modern indie bands re-construct the history of alt-rock. No complaints though, i guess no-one ever topped and surpassed these musical movements so the only way forward is through the past. I love it.

Buying my tickets tomorrow to see you guys December 👍✌️👽👽👽

check out narrow head peepz

trve widow

@RSTvisual WHAT YOU MEAN?

Soniic Youv

My Bloody Valent'Diiv

sounds like nirvana but ok

If only the vocals were a little up. Good song still

shoegaze's life

Reminds me 2 deftones

WHO ARE YOU 2 BELIEVE

This is a really good song.

90's vibes <3

reminds me of unwounds last album somewhat, which is high high praise

diiv keeps getting better

qqq biennn los pibess

So damn hyped for this album! Seeing them in Chicago 10/18. Bucket list concert for me!

10/4 will be the 3rd time I've seen them live. I'm pretty sure they'll be playing almost entirely new stuff we haven't heard before, but the first two times I've seen them were some of the best shows I've ever seen.

Love this guys! Thank you obrigado!

31.8.19

great single.
Cover reminds me of Carnavas

completely, first thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail lol

heavy drugzz

Fuckin' amazing. A+. Off the Richter scale. I love these guys.

Love love love. Yes, heavily 90s influenced. But enough interesting diversions and twists & turns to make it something singular and exciting.

Did they take this pic from the Silversun Pickups "Carnavas" album cover? 🤔

o shit this slaps

this is like an expanded version of the closer on their last album Waste of Breath. at first i didn't care much for the two new songs but they sure have grown on me

Just got to know DIIV and it's love at first sight.

If only I could meet you in my dreams, full of sorrow, dread and sadness, we could listen to DIIV together. Estevam ❤️

Nothing

Just WOW... !!

Sounds nothing like DIIV, nor does it show Zach's genius songwriting from the first two records.

The riff is from "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath

the year is 1991...

There were so many tracks that I am a fan of in the last album, but this one sounds a tad dreary and dark.

gem vibes

real shoegaze song!

good luck and stay cool buddy

Damn this sounds so good!

Niiice....

heavy diiv, its happening guys

So isn’t this the cover art from silver sun pickups just zoomed in and cropped?

my smashing valentine!

Espero con ansias el nuevo disco, los dos singles apuntan a una nueva dirección muy interesante. I felt some deftones plus ride in this one, nice turn, you are amazing guys.

The art reminds me of the album cover from incubus - make yourself

This hits hard

did anyone else hear the song "iron man" in this?

The cover looks like Carnavas - Silversun Pickups.. Excelent

guido0 it does yes !

A stunning and brilliant new Diiv track

Posies + Catherine Wheel + Red House Painters
Totally dig!!!

Que chingones han sido desde el principio. Grande DIIV

I keep seeing in the comments that people expect the old diiv sound. If you think that way you will just be disappointed. Just enjoy it and and appreciate the new music they have now as they have clearly matured in their sound. I’m loving what I’ve heard so far from this new album. Diiv never disappoints.

Well put sir!

Tão boa pqp 😍♥🇧🇷 thanks for the music.

New stuff sounding tight! MBV + Sonic Youth + Whirr, a great vibe

True Widow as well

Wow! They're doing it again.. Another great album. Love the sound

Yes! :)

so hipster

I love it how when people get scared of something creative and beautiful that isn't commercialy motivated they call it hipster because they need to give it a negative label otherwise they will have to face the reality that they are incapable of creating something even remotely close to being as good
