Everything you'd live and die for Reasons leading you through here Perished matriarchal bonds Failing innocence of love When the world beckons your approach It swallows you whole You'll believe what you're led to believe In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible Wait to see what you're meant to see The veil lifts when you expose your soul Pray'd I would leave this place someday Joined to alarm from long ago now unconcerned Euphorically floating upon wax wings where is the sun? I still see her face; her beauty, her grace Transfixed like a light in front of me It follows my soul And swallows me whole You'll believe what you're led to believe In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible Wait to see what you're meant to see The veil lifts when you expose your soul Left, right, left, right... His branches reached so far before His leaves were bold extremities with great control Wasted along; he died alone You'll believe what you're led to believe In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible Wait to see what you're meant to see The veil lifts when you expose your soul She's inanimate, bloodless elegance Fatal fascination breeds a bloom of misery Helpless hiding tongues, bathed in revulsion Here lies possibility wilting premature But the right hand hates the left and the sea's upset with the sky So we press on in spite of the spite Happiness is a knife when the worlds on its side and your minds on fire Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found Begging my god to make the wheels go round Eat so much but I never get full Earth opened up and swallowed us whole
@@pratt9182 yeah the dear hunter is on spotify! sadly act 2 is missing quite a few tracks :( they used to be available on spotify so i'm assuming it was some sort of rights loss on spotify's part? still a shame. makes listening to the series way more disjointed
At first I was was all upset that The Receiving End of Sirens was gonna be at Bamboozle on the day I'm going, but then I realized The Dear Hunter was. So I gave them a long-overdue listen. And realized that this s just as good. :3
I personally have never paid any attention to one direction but I don't like anything I've heard. I respect people for what they like, even if I think I have better taste, but I think everyone feels like that. I guess that's what individuality means. People on UA-cam are very expressive of their individuality (and willing to oppress unto others said individuality).
Some people don't know true talent (Justin Bieber and One Direction fans.) But luckily, I do. Therefore I shall continually listen to Casey's beautiful voice until I die. I can never thank his cousin Luke enough for showing me this orgasmic music.
by the way as a music lover i enjoy some justin bieber and 1d songs. wouldn't by any stretch call myself a fan but i like some of their stuff. and yet i'm still here. just throwing that out there
Ha ha ha talentful... you directioners and your limited grasp of nearly everything, one day you'll be big boys and girls and instead of saying "...& I love the dear hunter" you'll just say "i love the dear hunter!"

this song makes me cry, it's honestly the most beautiful song i have ever heard in my entire life and i could never get sick of it.
This song is where I got hooked to the story. I didn't really notice the whole story he had been building up until this point.
it follows my soul and swallows me whole.
This album is gold and is super underrated. The story telling alone, I mean...
Ugh so many good songs. I've never had so many favorites from a single person. Ever.
Everything you'd live and die for
Reasons leading you through here
Perished matriarchal bonds
Failing innocence of love
When the world beckons your approach
It swallows you whole
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Pray'd I would leave this place someday
Joined to alarm from long ago now unconcerned
Euphorically floating upon wax wings where is the sun?
I still see her face; her beauty, her grace
Transfixed like a light in front of me
It follows my soul
And swallows me whole
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Left, right, left, right...
His branches reached so far before
His leaves were bold extremities with great control
Wasted along; he died alone
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
She's inanimate, bloodless elegance
Fatal fascination breeds a bloom of misery
Helpless hiding tongues, bathed in revulsion
Here lies possibility wilting premature
But the right hand hates the left and the sea's upset with the sky
So we press on in spite of the spite
Happiness is a knife when the worlds on its side and your minds on fire
Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found
Begging my god to make the wheels go round
Eat so much but I never get full
Earth opened up and swallowed us whole
One of the most complete and beautiful songs in modern music.
Why dont people know this band... I feel suspicious about peoples taste of music... Such a master piece ❤
This song should get a price for the best intro ...
Prize* and yes it should :D
and outro
well... you got act 3 n 4
yeah definitely. Nice profile pic btw
And best outro
WOW! I just caught the middle guitar solo follows the same note pattern as the start of Evicted.
I love how he uses certain motifs as foreshadowing, flashbacks and even character queues. Excellent writing!
2017 and this song still hits the feelings.
Brandon Moreno It's 2018 for me, and I couldn't agree more
Are you the UFC fighter?
2022 mate, damn. Time really flies don't it?
2023 and still does. Listening since it came out
2024 and the song still hits hard
It's freaking amazing to see literally every comment be positive. THIS SONG IS SO GOOD!
With everything that happens.. Hunter should *never* have boarded that train...
Easily one of my favorite songs!!!
6:14 - 7:20 is absolutely glorious
wish this song was still on spotify 😔 act 2 just isn't the same without you baby i miss you every day
It is on Spotify !?
@@pratt9182 yeah the dear hunter is on spotify! sadly act 2 is missing quite a few tracks :( they used to be available on spotify so i'm assuming it was some sort of rights loss on spotify's part? still a shame. makes listening to the series way more disjointed
@@pratt9182 Oh Wait thank u for this comment it mustve come back within the past 3 weeks!
Best song on the album
the chorus is glorious
hard agree
hard fucking agree
Great song!
I feel like this song would be an awesome James Bond intro...
Anyway, it's just super fucking good...
I keep hearing "Left leg, Left leg" 3:06
This songs awesome!
This is the best song off all their albums. GNARRRRRLLLYY
7:45 onward is my favourite part. Something about has just captuted me.
Thank you for expressing your individuality. I respect it, and will not argue with you (because I can't think of a snarky come-back).
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO EXPRESS THESE FEELS!
At first I was was all upset that The Receiving End of Sirens was gonna be at Bamboozle on the day I'm going, but then I realized The Dear Hunter was. So I gave them a long-overdue listen. And realized that this s just as good. :3
I think that was one of the most mature UA-cam comments I've ever read.
You sir, are a rare breed.
The beginning of this song sounds like Spyro The Dragon music.
I EAT SO MUCH AND I NEVER GET FULL!!!!! This song rules!
THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!
teeemooon!!! muy bueno...
Al fin,un fan que hable español :'v
This is my favorite part: 7:58 to 9:30.
EPIC FUCKING SONG.
i was there!
I love you Casey✨❤
BECAUSE IT'S FUN :D
Best

5:35 onward, though.
0:00 onward, though
I DON'T KNOW! JUST KEEP ON DOING IT!
@crazychris93 WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING
I like cake with poppy seeds!!
Explore the spectrum.
I try
The intro reminds me of elevator music or a game show. lol
i like turdles!
@grantmandu IDK BUT IM YELLING TOO
I just shit myself 6:15
don't you know that
YOULL BELIEVE WOAHOHOO WHAT YOUR LEAD TO BELIEVE IN HE HAANNDS OF GHOSTS WERE NEVER RESPONSIBLE
THAT WAS OK
@abbyangel64 I'm not hating, I just have a different view of talent than you do.
Some people don't know true talent (Justin Bieber and One Direction fans.) But luckily, I do. Therefore I shall continually listen to Casey's beautiful voice until I die. I can never thank his cousin Luke enough for showing me this orgasmic music.
by the way as a music lover i enjoy some justin bieber and 1d songs. wouldn't by any stretch call myself a fan but i like some of their stuff. and yet i'm still here. just throwing that out there
YELL LOUDER, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
You're such a fairy.
STOP YELLING
Ha ha ha talentful... you directioners and your limited grasp of nearly everything, one day you'll be big boys and girls and instead of saying "...& I love the dear hunter" you'll just say "i love the dear hunter!"
Ah yes bc people can't like more than one band/musician
...wat
If you have Ghost, you have everything.
Ugh so many good songs. I've never had so many favorites from a single person. Ever.
Everything you'd live and die for
Reasons leading you through here
Perished matriarchal bonds, failing innocence of love
When the world beckons your approach, it swallows you whole
You'll believe what you're meant to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Prayed I would leave this place someday
Joined to alarm from long ago, now unconcerned
Euphorically floating upon wax wings, where is the sun?
I still see her face; her beauty, her grace
Transfixed like a light in front of me
It follows my soul, and swallows me whole
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right
His branches reached so far before
His leaves were bold extremities with great control
Wasted along; he died alone
You'll believe what you're meant to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
She's inanimate, bloodless elegance
Fatal fascination breeds a bloom of misery
Helpless hiding tongues, bathed in revulsion
Here lies possibility, wilting prematurely
But the right hand hates the left
And the sea's upset with the sky
So we press on, press on, press on, press on
In spite of the spite
Happiness is a knife
When the world rolls on its side
And your mind's on fire
Don’t you know that happiness is a knife
When the world’s on fire
Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found
Begging my god to make the wheels go round
Eat so much but I never get full
Earth opened up and swallowed us whole
(x2)
