Townsend, Devin - Slow Me Down Lyrics

Accelerated Evolution is happy version of Ocean Machine.

Pop rock has never been so good

one of my least fave dev songs

This is why I love Devin. He can make super heavy and complicated records and be great at it, and he can also make songs like this and make it gorgeous on all levels. He can master anything, and that's why I consider him to be one of the best musicians alive today.

Lol, I fucking hate pop punk but I love this.

It's a good thing this isn't pop punk?

@jeleopard What is it then? It just gave me that vibe.

@Ziltoid TheOmniscient like an 80s style pop hard rock thing.

Dev does have a pop punk album called Punky Bruster - Cooked on Phonics, though, about a death metal band who decides to play pop punk to make money.

This is almost pop punk lol

+OmriSama Reminds me more of 80s hard rock.

I love you, John.

the guitar solo was recorded by John

thats true??

Bullshit.

John the Baptist? John Wick? John Doe?

John Dee

One of the best tracks by Devin.

didn't knew al yankovic was doing pop metal

arithmeticum yeah. He shaved his dreads off too

Thanks to this song I love all Devin's albums and I have widened my metal genre from strict heavy, power metal to progresive, grind, extreme  etc. 

i hope the lyric is good cause the musick sure do suck

Devin's music isn't really meant for people with an IQ lower than 80.

This song is my heart... describes a part of my life that changed it forever..

That is a smile on my face. Slow Me Down makes that happen.

Ocean Machine + Terria + City over this any day. Still a fantastic record though!

Considering how well-respected and critically acclaimed he is (On Sputnikmusic, Ocean Machine and City have an average rating only 0.2 points under the Beatles' classic "Abbey Road), I don't think "underrated" is the right word..

ive asked Devy twice to play at my wedding-this song in particular. I'm not getting married- i just thought i would check with him. He said no, he was too busy...Oh Devy....

Next album to buy, Accelerated Evolution!!

60th thumbs up from me. Total agreement. We're part of an elite group of people who get the privelege.

@bannedfromheavenAK47 cool story bro

Heavy Devies pop song whooop!

@nobulnkite3
i can so i like.........
not as good mind but i give it a solid old go!

@nobulnkite3 I can't. So I disliked.

Like if you can sing this song

nobelknight666 6 years and still no one

Take that like Bro

Hands down one of the best songs ever written.

fan:We dont need you anymore God. We have a new lord called Devin
God:Oh no! You cant pray for devil, its bad!!
fan:I said Devin.
God:Oops. well yeah... Devin is a god...

@TheUyouWant2be Live version of Kingdom

@TheUyouWant2be It's tough to pick the best Devin songs because there's so many! I'd say Bastard, Seventh Wave, Deep Peace, Bad Devil and Kingdom are the first songs that come to mind...

Only Devin can mix metal and pop, yet still sound fucking Godly

One of my favourite songs by Devin who is just a genius!! Just uploaded my guitar cover of it!! |m|

I'm from the province of Québec and I don't want to separate from the rest of Canada anymore....because I will not be from the same country as Devy if that happen ;0)

So poppy lol. So catchy though.

I love this song,so sweet and such an epic closer to the album:)

Sensitive side of a genius!
This song clearly is among the best Devin has ever performed!

Yeah thats the one, the part kicks ass where he just repeats "Never" with all those background noises. I love that he makes different vocal arrangements.

I listen to this everyday without fail.

also day 8: school

Have you heard of his work with Arjen Lucassen?
Ayreon: The Human Equation
He sings on day 3: pain, and day 15: father I think. He plays Rage on the album.

The metal magician, I love how he sings and growls with SYL. BUt this is what I like to hear, this and Storm are my favs.

just awesome

this is by far pretty much my favourite song ever. he's my hero.

Devy only helped with vocals on that new (and crappy) soilwork album....He produced natural born chaos though, and it's a fuckin masterpeice of melodeath because of Dev.

Hell yeah dude. His music has changed my life. Love all his work. His is a hero of mine. One of the most under rated musicains ever. Devin is amazing

I love this song.

It shows that Devin loves music. Hell, all his work, solo and side projects, show it. He is a diverse fun musician.

Those kinds of people seem to be hard to come by.

Steven Wilson is a diverse musician. Buckethead is also a diverse musician. Guthrie Govan is another diverse musician.

no problem :)
