Imagine someone getting introduced to devin townsend through this song. "Aww, it is such a sweet song. The guy has such a calm and melancholic voice. I should give a try to all his songs on a rainy day to calm myself"

They maybe listen to ghost because people told them it’s really nice. Then they get curious and think the name strapping young lad sounds like something fun. Then... well they get their face melted off. That’s a symptom of listening to syl, literal face melting.

@umokay1991 Жыл бұрын

Goddamn it's impressive how dynamic his voice is. He has such a powerful voice, but he can also do stuff that's quiet and soft really well. That's not as easy as you'd think, a lot of vocalists who sing loudly and with gravel/fry the way Devvy does aren't able to access those softer tones because their louder, fuller singing voice harmed their vocal chords so they're missing a little range of the softer tones, making them near impossible to sing unless you have incredible control over it.

Anyone that wants to see how good a singer they are try singing this. Sing it as it is presented here with emphasis on subtlety and see if it sounds good. There are a ton of singers that overly rely on volume, projection, vibrato, and/or dramatic shifts to hide that they don't know how to make a note stand on it's own. You'll know if you are one of those real quick when you try to sing this.
