Приєднався 17 лют 2017
As a Guitarist and Singer-Songwriter, Dustin Silva is a rare combination of technical virtuosity and raw, emotional intensity. A gifted guitarist and the youngest to attend Musicians Institute in Los Angeles at the age of fourteen, it took decades to get his songwriting and singing up to the level of his guitar playing. His songs have been described as a sonic cross between Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley and Radiohead. Heavy themes make up the songs. His unique perspective is informed by a chronic struggle with illness (diabetes, depression, OCD) and his mothers 20 year struggle with Multiple Sclerosis. His music is both cathartic and personal with lyrics that use evocative imagery to interrogate the nature of suffering and the journey back into health. His long anticipated, debut solo EP was released in Oct, 2023. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
Dustin Silva - The Water Went In - A Psychedelic Lullaby (Official Music Video)
The Water Went In
Video edited and filmed
By Dustin Silva
featuring Ellen Blazich and her Artwork (sculpture, Paintings, Drawings)
The Water Went in
written, performed, recorded, arranged and produced by Dustin Silva
Vocals, Piano, bass, electronics, heating vent percussion, homemade tape samples, Solina
Mixed and Mastered by
Nacho De La Riega
The water went in is the 7th and closing song and music video from Silva’s debut album, What We Leave behind released Dec 14, 2024. At its heart, The Water Went In is a psychedelic lullaby. It has a stripped down 50’s chord progression flooded with a unique bridge that mirrors the overwhelming nature of a spiritual experience. “I’m sorry, The water went in anyway it could… “ This is Silva’s oldest song and was written when he was in his late teens during and intense period of mental health struggles while listening to John lennon’s solo music. The music video features the songwriter’s partner, Ellen Blazich and shows her getting back to creating art something he has witnessed firsthand and is inspired to document. There are many candid shots in the video of art being made and it is loaded with symbolism. The Statue can be seen as the artists double, a saboteur or the inner child where creativity blossoms when given support. This video investigates what it means to create in a world that is constantly devaluing the creative act and how to surround your own world with grace and gratitude.

This is the best song I've heard in a long time 💘
That means a lot to me. Thanks for the kind words!
Beautiful video and song! I love the layering of images. Haunting.
All of these videos make me want to hear more about the story behind the scenes. So much emotion in these videos that are devoid of color, contrasting with so much emotion makes me think of a frozen flame. Manic intensity contained in soft melody, but it starts with cymbal monkey... Love it all keep it up Dustin!!
Can't wait to hear how this fits into the context of the album, dude is on another level
Great song! 😊
Great song!
Note: No cymbal monkeys were hurt in the filming of this video.
this recording is 😚👌
Beautiful!
Great song, Dustin!
Pathos and pitilessness bound together on a path to a reckoning.
So good! ❤
