Townsend, Devin - Christeen Lyrics






Running, beyond the speed of sound
Calling, beyond the speed of sound
Say you love me, say you love yourself
Say you need me, say you care
Say you want me, say you want yourself
Say you want to be with me well

Christeen, that's all I ask of you

Falling, into the open doorway
Loving, what anyone else would loathe here
Say you're with me, say you're with yourself
Say you're lonely, say you care
Say you warned me, say you warned yourself
Say you want to be with me well

Christeen, that's all I ask of you

Are you feeling okay?
Are you feeling so much pain
That never goes away
Oh, we know, and we're feeling so much better than before
What's more, is that feeling isn't failing anymore

Townsend, Devin Christeen Comments
  1. I.... S....

    Co written by Ginger from the Wildhearts who is briefly in the video, very talented song writer, not to upset the Devin is a genius club though.

    I.... S....

    Ginger said his involvement with writing this was minimal and Devin did it more out of respect for Ginger. Pretty cool anyway.

    Oh!

    I.... P....

    Thanks.

    I.... P....

    That was only 99% correct.

  23. J.... S....

    Devin's voice 10 yrs ago was so different

    J.... S....

    +Jefferson Sales That's almost 20. The album is from 1998.

    J.... S....

    +Gregor K 20 years ago he was in strapping young lad, and had a full head of hair, AND a beard

    J.... S....

    +Gregor K also nice name XD

    J.... S....

    +Gregor Olson He's right, this song was released in 1998

    J.... S....

    Personally, I think his voice is so much better now (which is miraculous, considering the drinking, drugs and smoking he used to do, plus 20 something years of tours), but yes, it is significantly different.

  24. R.... F....

    So raw.

  25. G.... M....

    gotta go fast

  26. A.... B....

    ow ow ow ow ow

  27. E.... M....

    Still a great song (although Devin probably disagrees) !!!

  28. C.... B....

    As an authentic "Christeen" I love it!!

    C.... B....

    +Raw Angel Thanks! :-)

    C.... B....

    @Christeen Bowersfrol

  29. R.... C....

    c'est un génie musical tel Mozart à son époque

  30. P.... N....

    I love this song!! It's one of my faves c:

  31. J.... ....

    3:25 this is what i say when i stub my toe!

  32. M.... R....

    There's Music & then there's Devin Townsend.
    Love it, every aspect of it.

    M.... R....

    Saw DTP on Monday night and got him to sign my Ziltoid puppet.  Totally unmatched in live performances since forever.

    M.... R....

    Yaaaass!!

  33. S.... ....

    Infinity is a masterpiece.

    S.... ....

    Agreed.

    S.... ....

    It is but I wish it were a little more serious lyrically lol. That's one main reason why Ocean Machine and Accelerated Evolution are my two favorites by him: they're perfect musically, and lyrically, serious and about life's struggles and such. I don't mind humor but I typically listen to music for catharsis from life's frustrations via awesome music with relatable lyrics.

    S.... ....

    the first time I listened to Devin Townsend, I came across an article about him in the press. I bought the album infinity because I was curious. I sat in the car of my parents ... I took the CD in the car radio ... and at that moment my life changed.

  34. c.... f....

    Hevy Devy

  35. f.... ....

    me recuerda a no myth de michael penn

  36. G.... G....

    That guitar reminds me of Sonic Adventure. lmao

    G.... G....

    @Arctudus Chances are Devin did the same. He was a slow grower, I remember loving his current music in puberty and slowly growing into adulthood along with his artwork. Only I am fifteen years younger :-)

    G.... G....

    @True Cognizance it's so weird that I came across this comment as I used to do exactly the same! The sonic adventure dx soundtrack was my favourite from any game ever and now Devin Townsend is my favourite artist ever, weird since they sound similar huh? I also have Crush 40's (the band who performed on that game) self titled album and it rules!

    G.... G....

    @Garett Geho thank you. you just made this song 20% better.

    G.... G....

    Amazing comments. I also love Sonic Adventure and I do hear similarities :O

    G.... G....

    Garett Geho First Lyric "Running, beyond the speed of sound" so

  37. r.... N....

    awesome

  38. G.... ....

    *atmospheric

  39. G.... ....

    I love how airy and atmosphere this song is. Powerful.

  40. M.... u....

    Dang it Christeen, return his calls!

  41. n.... ....

    that is totally manly

  42. n.... ....

    i dont think that the amount of fans has got to do anything with originality of an artist. What determines if an artist is fake, to me, is the lifestyle of the band and fans.

  43. D.... K....

    Meeeeeeeegaaaaaaa!!!!!

  44. C.... K....

    This song makes me feel like such a girl. I mean, I am, but it makes me feel like it.

    Maaaaan.

  45. D.... ....

    Yes!! Yes, Of course I am kidding.. Did you ever get into the Hanson's? Mmmbop? Devin Townsend's "Demon league" and the The Hanson's "Mmmbop" Man, No comparison.. What do you think??

  46. I.... ....

    Are you kidding again!? Of course I don't!

  47. J.... ....

    So that kid next door's incredibly bad punk band is the most talented bunch ever?

  48. D.... ....

    Truly, I agree with you.. Do you like lady GAGA?

  49. I.... ....

    You're kidding, right? The music with the most substance has some of the least amount of fans... It's been that way for decades now. Most of the mainstream music is a essentially a product filled with "artists" (*cough*) who "write" (*cough*) music that conforms to what is popular or trendy. There is very little creativity and art in the mainstream.

    The music with the most fans is basically the worst of the music that is out there. Long live the obscure artists who make true art!

  50. D.... ....

    Why, what on earth do you mean?

  51. I.... ....

    It sure leans that way in this day and age!

  52. D.... ....

    Think so?

  53. I.... L....

    a Masterpiece. This man is a genius.

  54. D.... ....

    Dammit Devy, put some fuckin' clothes on.

  55. L.... H....

    And this fills my, "Naked-Man-Singing-Poppy-Yet-Badass-Tune", quota for today.

  56. A.... C....

    I'm... I'm just so grateful for these almost 4 minutes of intensity and happiness... I grew up listening to this and still I think It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Devin is a genius.

  57. R.... D....

    It's because he's naked.

  58. m.... ....

    haha, now i hear it! Thanks :)

  59. J.... Y....

    great music,great video!

  60. M.... ....

    Female vocals? It´s Devin! :D

  61. I.... ....

    Ever since the god damn movies came out, I see people comparing artists to characters from Harry Potter. Fuck Harry Potter, Fuck Voldemort. Fuck the books too.

  62. l.... ....

    So fucking fresh like a cold mojito

  63. K.... C....

    genius!

  64. G.... A....

    I'm a genius then ahah

  65. F.... ....

    Thank you Devin for making me being able to dedicate a crapload of love songs to my girlfriend while sticking to metal \,,/

  66. m.... ....

    getting the devin townsend infinity moth tattood on my right shoulder!

  67. m.... ....

    Wonder who does the female vocals in this song /around the "Say you love me" part etc./

  68. G.... ....

    I was under the impression that everyone found him attractive

  69. S.... W....

    favorite moment 2:37-2:50

  70. A.... S....

    thats pure awesome :)
    i don't listen to this guy enough!

  71. J.... M....

    Am I the only one here who finds Devin incredibly attractive?...

  72. F.... ....

    Yes, this was Devin Townsend & The Wildhearts (credited as performing the 'sonic booms').

    Two of my favourite acts for the price of one.

    Greetings from Shitsville peeps :)

  73. M.... C....

    sin lugar a dudas DEVIN = GENIUS

  74. M.... ....

    why is this guy so fucking good :(

  75. P.... ....

    2.37. Epic

  76. C.... ....

    Ginger sighting at 0:55. I wish they'd collaborate together again.

  77. d.... ....

    This is beautiful

  78. G.... W....

    Holy crap... Phantom of the Opera.

  79. E.... A....

    I'm not sure if I can tbh

  80. E.... A....

    Ginger!

  81. S.... ....

    ^ This is what the music industry is serious lacking!

    I saw SYL in Corpus Christi TX about 6 years ago, it was a huge concert. (sounds of the underground) and aside from GWARs stage theatrics, Devins humor as soon as they got on stage was the best part of the entire day.

  82. S.... ....

    he's naked...i'm ok with this.

  83. n.... ....

    I can definitely hear Ginger's influence on this song.

  84. A.... ....

    I must be one talented son of a bitch, then.

  85. D.... ....

    The Max Planck of rock and roll

  87. M.... J....

    I came back to this thread, sadly. You really struck a nerve in me, even though your initial comment had NOTHING to do with my initial remark. Why are you questioning why atheists do stuff? Shouldn't that be a question you ask yourself? I would think you could ask yourself "If atheists can get up in the morning, love others, and be productive in society, of what use is my staunch belief in God, and what benefit is that belief if others can do the same without Him?"

  88. S.... ....

    Most underrated musician ever...

  89. J.... ....

    This song was co-written by my all-time favourite person ever, Ginger Wildheart. Seriously, check the Wildhearts out if you haven't. Devin played guitar for them live in the early 90s.

  90. �.... ....

    デヴィンのヌードはいりません

  91. T.... ....

    @harriejbgoode you're right :)

  92. H.... N....

    @TrendCrush666 its the other way around, steve o looks like Devin Townsend
    !

  93. A.... A....

    I'm sad :( My idol has only 500 000 views on youtube whereas Lady Gaga has 500 000 000 :(

  94. T.... ....

    i only just realise how much he looks like steve-o n this video

  95. 6.... ....

    @ElMightyMasturbator Mass effect is cooler than Skyrim but not cooler than Devy...my opinion XD

  96. M.... L....

    if i ever become a famous movie producer or whatever im going to make an epic sci fi movie and this song will be used at the credits haha its just so cool, cooler than skyrim.

  97. M.... L....

    @NickySixThirty Voldermort aint got beans on Devin, he will just unleash ZILTOID !!
