QUARANTINE PROJECT Part 10: A NEWER REIGN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Heyo, Dev here again…hope you're holding fast. This week starts with a song that was originally on the Sky Blue album, yet I was dissatisfied with the original mix back then, so I did a new mix of it on Twitch the other day. Here it is.
The song deals with loss. Mourning. It was written during a period of loss of some people in my world and a few close around me as well. Getting down to the intensity of it that I felt we missed the first time around was cathartic.
Another week ahead of us that is worth fighting for. Love to you and yours, stay strong.
Dev =)
A New Reign - Devin Townsend
Reign, far from the river
Reign, far from the garden
He won't suffer
I'm underwater...
I'll hold you
So while you cry, my love
I never wanted sorrow or pain
Yet here we are again!
He won't suffer,
I'm underwater
I'll hold you.
Now, why'd you die on me?
No words will come now.
Reign, far from the river
Reign, far from the garden
WHERE DID YOU GO?
I never wanted to be in this place, where you had to leave me cold
I never wanted to be in this place, did you have to leave me cold?
Reign, far from the river (please release me)
Reign, far from the garden
You won't suffer
You won't suffer
While underwater
I'll hold you
So why'd you cry, my love
I never wanted sorrow or pain
Yet here we are!
I will never let you leave my mind

this takes my breath away
Haunting, stunning, moving, powerful, absolutely beautiful talent...
This song is mesmerizing, melodic, beautiful, it is just awesome! One of my favorite Devin songs ever - and there are sooo many amazing Devin Townsend songs it is mind boggling. Thank you for making such amazing and meaningful music.
I really wish I knew what this one means.
Please for the love of god; put all of these on Spotify.
Devin Townsend. Single handedly keeping the stock video market afloat during Covid-19 2020 😂
Someone somewhere is now able to pay a days worth of rent.
First time Ive ever seen a 3200-0 ratio on a video.
Wow.
@@shr00mhead Now 8 people have ruined it. They probably clicked wrong
@@user-hu3iy9gz5j- probably when they reached the 1:56 mark. No understanding of Devin's genius
I'm just gona throw it out there...Give Planet Rain the same treatment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The world needs it.
Sky Blue has been holding me together this week. I never realized how amazing it truly is. ❤
I love both mixed, Devin.
Dev - I love you.
My favourite piece of the Sky Blue. Thank you Dev
I still am loving this a year later... Covid is still around but not as much Thank God!! WE can triumph through this. All of us. Rock on buddies and lovers of the Dev. Shine on!
"Sky Blue" is the most sonically and melodically beautiful album I've ever heard. Devin and Anneke are absolute perfection to me.
I've never really known where to start with Devin's back catalogue but this comment has helped me find an amazing album. Wow. Thank you.
Definitely one of his good releases of the last decade. CoC was the other.
@@Sun-Eater616 Start from the beginning chronologically. You can't miss. Reversely, if you start from the newest album first you might find a lot more weaker stuff.
@@Sun-Eater616 wow, you're very welcome. I'm happy to help spread the word. 😁🤘
odd i think it's actually one of Devy's worst sounding DTP albums
Music like this feels like I'm not hearing it with my ears, it's just part of my soul.
Same
Not a single dislike. Exactly the way it should be.
2.2k likes vs 0 dislikes. All people here have a good taste :)
Shhh, don't jinx it. Some idiot will dislike it.
Rip
@@DG-ys7dx nobody disliked it still. awesome
Ok, news flash. One dislike....ONE FRICKEN DISLIKE!!???!??. Ok, we're going to find this turd, bring the tar and feathers cause this boob is getting the turkey treatment!
Have you ever been in the middle of doing something and suddenly Devin hits you in the feels and everything else ceases to exist?
ooh love the new version, the original was already one of my faves.
This is the most powerful song Devin ever wrote in his life. Sky Blue is my favorite album of all time. I see I posted my thoughts before a few months ago but this song has not lost its effect on me. If I ever lose my wife or one of my sons when we get older I will not be able to listen to this song ever again. I am crying now just thinking about that kind of a loss and hearing the emotion in Devins voice and phrasing of the guitar.
Devin, your music has been a salve for me. I lost my wife and mother in law in two days almost exactly a year ago. This year has been so very strange, but your music has been so very cathartic.
Thanks for all you do. This fan appreciates it.
Don't know how everyone else feels, but Dev's music DOES tend to remind us that there is always hope if you look for it.
Solidarity and love to you, friend. I lost my dad last year and this album really helped me work through a lot of things I had trouble voicing.
I'm feeling bad for your lost loves. But you are brave to share with us your story, and you are a great person 100%. Devin for me was a moment of deep change like 2 years ago: "rejoice" had the right words and I was in the right place where I began to fight again. I did not have a family and lost my ex because of my illness. Epilepsy. So... Let's fight everyday my new friend.
Same, brother.
Thank you Devin.
It's so angelic and beautiful, Christian musicians could learn a thing or two from Dev....it's like I'm at church!
My Grandpa is dealing with several illnesses and he's in the latest stage of his life. Thank you for your music, Dev. Lots of love. I mean it.
Forza Leonardo!!!!!
I don't see the relevence, but I wish him well.
This beautiful song, come to us, at the right time.
Isn't coincidence.
Thanks Devin. 😘😘 from Italy
Sky Blue is one of my many favorite records - Dev & Anneke and another of the many facets to Dev's evolution. I wish this manna from Heaven was around in my youth. But as an old man - I'm probably the biggest fanboy of the bunch. I can't believe we get to see Ocean Machine - that would never be possible without this long break in live shows. After 6 years, and miles of comments and pages - I have never come across any fans that aren't beautiful people. There's something very special in this community
This and Rain City are some of my favorite songs by him, this album is seriously underrated.
I love Rain City !
Universal Flame tho
Oh yes. I looooooove Rain City
I doubt it's underrated, fans generally love the album.
I didnt like Rain City for a long time and then one day I had the CD on in the car and it just clicked. Loved it ever since.
Dude, if you read this, I hope you have at least a small inkling of how these "Quarantine Projects" are helping us stay on the right side of sane, not to mention being one hell of a huge inspiration to the musicians on here.
Thank you.
Much agreed.
Not only musicians.
cheers, a scientist.
Thank you Quarantine.....this is the actual version
That part at 1:56 hits so insanely hard
Just wow. I absolutely adore this track. I've probably listened to it ~50 times today. Thank you for everything, Devin!
Yeah, this is miles better, instant goosebumps!
I am so grateful that I accidentally found this masterpiece.....Lots of love from🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Lost for words really......Thank you so much.
Whoa. Chills.
Thank you, Devin Townsend
Thank you again Devin .. you are something to look forward to in the day.. As always , Much respect!!
Jesus Dev this is beautiful.
Thank you Devy! Always the best!
What can i say ....
Devin's voice is from heaven for sure .
The HARMONY of that high pitched singing, keys, and devins low tone with the powerful delivery of drums... makes for a phenomenal experience!
Whoa! Heavy!
The man is glorious!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Why the actual fuck doesn't this song have 1 million trillions of views?
The original already sounded fantastic, but this is on another planet😍😭
😍😍😍 I will never let you leave my mind...
THANK YOU ,DEVIN! WE LOVE YOU! Your MUSIC heals hearts and souls!
Sky Blue is my favorite Devin Townsend album. The songs are beautiful. And I found it through a good a friend. It was a great bridge between a terrible part of my life to a great part of my life. It will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks Devin.
I bought Z2 without listening to it before and I was amazed by Dark Matters, but Sky Blue really blew me away. It made me open my mind to a new kind of music I never thought I would find in this place. Ah, and Universal Flame is one of my favorite songs ever... not just Dev's... like EVER
I'm really loving this unique series so far. Thanks Devin for sharing your music along the journey. We are all in this together.
Thank you Dev ❤
Just gonna say, i cant be the only one wishing for a remastered version of 'Deep Peace'? That live version at Plovdiv still gives me shivers...
Brings a tear everytime. So beautiful
Devin, I... I have no words.
Thank you
This new mix is incredible. Thank you Dev' ! 😍❤️
Who woulda thought that in 2020 Devvy is still the #1 metal youtuber?
He deserves number 1. Heafy deserves 2.
Well, he ain't dead yet.
My grandma died last month and this song reminds me of her. It is very beautiful. Thank you Devin, as always
Lil Who condolences bro
@@Prog4Prog Thank you very much ^^
Never ceases to amaze me.
You still haven't released Anneke have you?
Hahahaha
#FreeAnnie
Beautiful song!!! Noooiiissxxzz 🤟
So beautiful.
Thank you Dev! This is majestic.
Devin...This Song, and most of Empath are keeping me from blowing apart. Iv'e been off from work, my wife and I able to survive here in the states because of augmented unemployment which will soon end. I was laid off and not sure if they want me back. I feel sort of stuck even though they've opened up the country, I stay concerned about COVID. I get up every morning, make espresso and breakfast with the wife...and proceed to write heavy music on guitar, although I mainly play Bass. Thank You so much for all the Amazing Material and the Quarantine Concerts. God Bless You Always!
This is so fucking good!
Thank you for my daily dose of feels. Amazing.
I can't believe this didn't make it on the sky blue album, to think we would have never heard this if it weren't for what was happening right now. I'm glad good things like this are coming out of this hysteria and sadness, thank you Devin.
I had a break up and used skyblue as my motivation album to get exercising and lost 15kg! 94kg to 79kg. For 4 months every day i listened to this straight!
This song strikes deep. Words from my husband as he and I tear up through this song. I downplay the word song. This is artistry at it's core. I love Dev and all he does for the world. And for himself. Rest well my friend. Be well. And stay strong. You empower many and move even more. WE love you Dev. Thanks brother, for the music and love.
🎶💧🎶
Sky Blue is amazing. Period.
This version is so much better than the original it's unbelievable. You can clearly see how and where Devin wanted to go with this song and that was quite absent in the original mix. Excellent job, Dev! Absolutely loved the stream too!
The original was perfect Devin.
This is a perfect alternative.
Thank you! And take care.
I agree. The original still feels more emotional for me though.
Right? I had no idea something so perfect could get even better...
Perfectly said.
I prefer the original, at least for now. On first listen the vocals get drowned out in some places, among other nitpicks. This had some cool added things too, though. Either way song is still great so hey
Beautiful
This has a much more "Accelerated Evolution" sounding mix, which I really like in terms of dynamics and impact. The original Sky Blye album (as most modern metal albums in general) sound a bit too tight to me. The drums sounded weak. This sounds gigantic and properly Townsendy :P :)
Kostas Gerontis I got that AE vibe from this too. You can really hear the arpeggios much more clearly in this mix.
Drums sound progressively weaker and more castrated on DT's recent output. He clearly doesn't want to be heavy anymore - even in the rare times when he is playing heavy stuff.
@@Qwerty-ks8dn doesn't always equal 'bad'. Synchestra had some of my favorite drum sounds, and the drums are arguably light on that album. Mixing is a game of compromise.
don't you feel the artist's heart? Devin is making this project to make us forget about this global crisis. The virus is the beginning of a new stop. We will have years and years of depression. So I think you should consider Devin as an "angel", not as a musical factory
Spot on
A beatiful piece driven by currents of vivid emotion.
Devon! We need a song that will inspire hope! I know you can provide us with it! Please give us a little, Good Sir!!
Love love love it🖤🎶 So very beautiful
Never realized how powerful that bridge was.. The wall of sound is pure and real in this mix.
Easily my all time favorite track from Dev. It was so amazing seeing you work on this on Twitch. Being able to see the project file and how everything is working was a wet dream.
Such an important song to me. Thank you, Dev.
Man, this sounds great. Devin’s greatest asset is the overwhelming catharsis he seems to infuse in nearly every song, Sky Blue is one of my favorite DTP records, I really love the pop elements throughout. Lots of love to Devin and this wonderful community :)
If it ain't Moose the Goose. The best blast beater in the world.
ZS Music suuh my dude
@@MusaTariq25 Suhhh
@@MusaTariq25 What are you doing around these parts? We dont take KINDLY to white folk 'round here *spits*
Who woulda thought you'd ever touch this again. One of my absolute favorite deep cuts. Thank you Devin
Goosebumps. Every time on the break.. where did you go?
Awesome! Damn, this sounds big AF! This is nowadays Ocean Machine to me. Love it!
Thank you Dev
This song is magic.
Wow, a remix done exceptionally well. Compared to this one the old mix sounds more trivial and fleeting. This one is heavier and more important. Well done Dev and thanks for doing this.
Oh man now I want an entire Sky Blue album with this mix. I love it.
One of my many many favorites!
This takes my breath away.
Sky Blue is such a beautiful album. I'm very happy with the sound of this new mix.
Some things are so universal to all of us. The pain of loss is one of those things. That being said, it is quite literally relieving to have someone expressing it through art. Expressing things in a way I can't voice myself, turning something inherently hurtful into pure beauty. It is relieving. Artists who are able to be Real like this are so essential.
Top notch, the video reflects the beginnings of the corona crisis.. mid section is drowning out Anneke's vocals though.
Just listened to Terria, you're brilliant Devin. Thank you for all this good music and inspiration.
That was so good Dev, thanks for your work, it helps right now.
One of the best songs off Sky Blue. Don't know about you guys, but Sky Blue is one of my favorite albums from Dev.
I Suk at Geetar! Same here. As much as I love death metal, this guy puts melody in like no one else. Sky Blue is amazing and there’s spine chilling moments from start to finish.
And just like that I have a new favorite song.
Thanks Dev, it's amazing!
Love you, Dev!
This is stunning. One of my favourites
WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOOOOOOO :D!!!!
Thank you for this Dev
The feels 👌
Sky blue is the masterpiece!
Hey mec ! Ca fait plus de 20 ans que je t'envois des bisous, et plus de 20 ans que tu motives les musiciens que nous sommes. Plein d'Amour à toi, portes toi bien ! Still wanting to compose with you. This is clearly a fundamental objectiv in my life. So see you Sir Devil TownSound !
