Tillian's Part: I swear to some god I just met you, and you're all I think about.
Jon's Part: THE FABLE BOUT MY ELEPHANT IS ELEGANT, GOT YOU TOUCHING MY ELEMENT, OH MY GAWD ITS GONNA FAPPEN.
I think the absurdity of Mess' vocals is my favorite part of dgd. How could it not be everyones with genius lyrics like "I couldn't wait to tap into the brain of my cat and let him know he's my widdle baby meow-meow-boo"
The dynamic between sing and scream lyrics in DGD has always been like that.
*DBM* - Jonny: "Bring back the fight tonight, all of these lies that I uphold for one false hope."
Jon: "Sit down, call off the cavalry, I'm stealing the jewels in a slow motion action replay. Bar fight, I invented chivalry, notch in my bed post, slow motion action replay."
*Deathstar* - Kurt: "If we could only be in different places, among the same faces we can't forget...in debt to the very distinction of love and hate; they're both in our hearts, we choose an imbalance. Oh, the thought we are the flaws that make us."
Jon: "I'm waiting to see if it comes to me or if it's tied to a safe that just hit the seafloor. Press the pressure point on my neck, my head will snap off and roll into the secret passage we built for escorting the rapist to the victim. Did you manage your time, do you know how I do? Downpour, downpour downpour downpour, oh the boredom involved in patience."
*Happiness* - Kurt: "When I stare at your face, are you even alive? We always knew we were never the best advocates."
Will: "holy fuck I'm impressed, too bad I don't have a pussy to plunge in as I sit here and stomach this. Here's a Nobel Prize, let's gamble our demise."
*DBMII* - Jonny: "Let's start it over, as I comb back and forth through the causes of my mistakes."
Jon: "you'll go far on the back of a potato making french fries in the snow. Then you'll steal, then you'll borrow, you'll be red, you'll be gold. Then you'll steal, you'll be right, somebody getting farther than getting to the better of the betting, alright."
Take a sip from the drain, the flavor tastes like nothing
Or nothing tastes the same cause nothing is never there
I know what I'm talking 'bout, believe the words in my mouth
'Cause I can say that it was all just a metaphor
Which song is this from?
@@Pleiades00 I made it up to simulate the writing process of DGD haha.
Little do you know, Will Swan actually invented the guitar, just short after Jonny Craig invented singing and Matt Mingus invented the drums.
Inventing drums and a rhythm was essential for the band, since they didn’t know how to write any music with Jon's screams only, which were invented WAY back in time. Some say Jon's screaming technique was inspired by Dinosaur noises.
and i told them i invented times new roman
you got them flipped around. dinosaur noises were inspired by Jon's echoing screams
Tilian and the descendant of the cave Jonny...
@@organicmilk5 amazing reply
Pretty sure Tillian created Singing and Jonny created the harvesting of the poppy.
I really hope this video gets the views it deserves like the old HTWL's. Hope this thumbs up gets the algorithm going, now that the DGD fanbase is so big.
we've actually been hashing out plans to get the ol' algorithm going.
Im here for dgd lmao
You forgot a step.
Where at the end of the song Will Swan starts writing another catchy song and you only.get it for like 45 seconds and its the part of the song you always wait for now... God damn.
Jeez, the whole mathrock community would be really upset
How to write like Erra? Also this one was really good, like the explanations and steps as goofy as they are really are what make DGD DGD. Fine job sirs👏
Generate hype. GENERATE hype. generate HYPE. GENERATE HYPE.
hahahah I thought he was going to say
"so that people can Dance along to the chords, but they can Gavin along to the melody of the notes"
Why is this so accurate and well made? Weird...
Hell yeah TCMC.
Matt M glad to see you're alive dude. Keep TCMCing
@@duradrian1 I love you too.
@@matthewpunk2012 I forgot to say it yet you still got it. What a man...
@@duradrian1 Veil of Maya is a universal language my dude.
How to write like Loathe
Now THERE's a challenge
I need to get back to listening to them. Will do right now.
beatdown + deftones(Saturday Night Wrist era)
@@xspartan346x don't forget the akira yamaoka silent hill ambience
Holy fuck this needs to happen
Was gonna see DGD in AZ the day this got uploaded but it was all cancelled due to the virus. Can’t wait for this to be over so we can all go to shows again.
Donalex Corfgutip it’s never going to be over, no more shows, only death and destruction awaits us
I was going to see them Mar 12. Literally canceled a few hours before doors opened... very sad.
Went into this with a terrible attitude, and the song completely changed my mind. Fantastic job.
That intro was gas
Hey! My name is Matt and I’m making a film for my schools film club. That song at the end would absolutely be perfect for the music to the film. I can’t use anything copywrited and I have to have written permission for uncopywrited music. If you’d be interested in letting me use it, with full credit to you, that would be so sick!
Bump, would love to see how it gets used if permitted
All of Cloudkicker's material is under creative commons 3 which means anyone can use it any time. Could be worth checking that out
@@OmegaPiSquared Yes, but is any of it inspired by Will Swan?
Did you do it
Did you do it
Such an underrated channel. Funny shit, super talent and really clever. Thanks for all the high quality videos you put out.
I am here because of Based Algorithm. Fan of DGD since before Kurt got Look over there'd.
I shared it, I went to the next video, realized I hadn't done enough to actual help the engagement, so hey have a like and a totally arbitrary comment that Im making >solely< for benefit of the algorithm. Thumbs up, Great riffage.
I would love to see a How To Write Like Revocation
That was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. The Swan chord just changed my life. Subscribed 👍
This feels a bit more like strawberry girls but I still love it
concept same band lol
Strawberry Band’s guitarist used to be in DGD so it makes sense. The demo sessions of he and Will jamming out for DTBM2 are breathtaking.
@@Mrblonde62495 Strawberry band lmao I love that, but yeah Zach is a god and still features on one DGD song per album so the interchangeability is very much there
swancore
I love strawberry girls! wish they had lyrics kinda
"Alex English, standing by. Me and Zoloft, standing by." 🤣🤣💖
for the next “How To Write Like (Blank)” you should do Berried Alive
I knew it, blood on the dance Gavin dance.. iconic sound there was no mistake
missed these
As the final song played, I put each singer of the parts they'd definitely have and it's basically spot on for DGD song.
This is my favorite band and this was totally awesome! The instrumental sounded more like Royal Coda lol But still a space jam
Rico Suave fr
Your nickname is the truth
This was so good. The song at the end gave me huge DGD vibes. Great job!
A day before his came out, I found myself searching the internet and youtube for this exact video, and you come out of nowhere and post it. What a legend.
i actually like it, its awesome. happy that youre back
Absolutely loving the final fantasy themes here. Loving it.
This was a well-explained video and I love what you made out of it.
+1 for wearing a Royal Coda shirt in the final. WOOT!
This, you earned a like and a sub for your attention to detail. This type of content about dgd is what I usually gravitate towards to and I was excited before viewing. Thanks for this!
YESYESYESYES VOV IS BACK VOV IS BACK
Heylookitsnoah !
VOV VOV VOV VOV
❤️
NAS NAS NAS NAS
I have one gripe with this video. 2:40
Will Swan's Happiness scream vocals were fantastic, and it's a shame we don't even get an occasional verse from him anymore.
I'd love to see a how to write like counterparts
Holy shit! VOV How to write is back!? I hope you will once and for all do The Algorith
Everything about this series is great: the intro, edits, sense of humor and the whole concept. You've got yourself a new sub. Cheers from Québec tabarnak!
Cheers!
Honestly, been waiting for you to do DGD since the very beginning. WOOT!
Also, if you're into swancore, Happy Hour, Pulses., and Cat Company all have that sort of sound. It's always interesting to hear how heavily influenced some bands have been by DGD
Matt Mingus is a legit drum wizard who’s as good at what he does, as Swan is at what he does. A lot of the reason DGD sound so great is the mind meld those guys seem to have between them. They transition between styles so effortlessly. I think the drums were a little double bass happy. But I can absolutely see this being a DGD song.
Loved this, good work
That intro was cool as fuck! Keep up the great work guys.
Dude this was so good.
wellllll done.
As a DGD fan, that was fantastic. Definitely felt self titled vibes. Thanks!
this was incredible!
I’ve never seen your videos before but DGD has been my favourite band for a few years now and I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Well done sir you have a new subscriber
Natalie S welcome welcome to the channel! :)
This sounds like chon without vocals lmao. I love it
Michael Casco chon doesn’t have vocals
I’m talking about the song play through. I know they’re instrumental
@@WinterVibrations he means "without vocals, it sounds like Chon"
Jamie Lobley ohhh lol
Didn't they have a lot of tracks with vocals on Homey?
Even if you discount that album we still have Ecco and Can't Wait as two tracks with really prominent vocals.
I have never heard the term swan chord before. I've tried looking all over the internet but no luck. It's perfect
loved the additional band history as much as the tutorial. in fact, i was sad that you stopped short.
Finally! He is back
Love this you are extremely talented
Aaand that's how Summertime Sadness was born.
How to play like DGD while wearing a royal coda tshirt!! Dam you a Swan fan for real
Entertaining video, totally spot on 🤣 Subscribed!
Very nice!

17:24 - 17:52 tillian
17:53 - 18:09 kurt
Totally worth that intro! SUPER
👏👏👏 this does really sound like DGD!! Great Job!!
I hear the most similarities between what you wrote and their track Summertime Gladness.
I was thinking the same thing lol
This is amazing
this helps me for my progress
I thought I was listening to a new DGD song at the end there 👍 good shit
Nice job 👏
You nailed it, it sounds like them
I can literally hear the vocals from mess and tilian somehow. My brain somehow came up with the lyrics and contrast vocal display between both guys 😅
HTWL Minus the Bear!
Fantastic job on this btw
damn I knew jonny had drug problems but I didn't know he outright scammed his fans... that's sad :(
frank unodostres Please explain what???
@@5HITBOX something involving macbooks. He said he had a bunch for way less than retail value. People sent him money expecting him to mail the laptops to them in return, but guess what? He never sent them because he didnt have any. He was scamming for drug money.
Well he got kicked out of Slaves (band number 4) for missing their touring being high as fuck on heroine. You’d think he’d figure it out by now
Joshua Whitley He was doing really well for a little bit which was the result of Slaves second album “Beautiful Death” which I believe a lot if not most/all of the songs on the record were about him trying to deal with what he had done while on drugs as well as dealing with the demons from his family life growing up. He was clean for around two years before relapsing again unfortunately
Sean McCadden As far as you know. Once an addict always an addict. It’s very easy to lie and hide these things from your loved ones. And he doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to honesty. As far as I’m concerned, he never stopped.
Wait I'm 15 seconds in the video and you're saying Dance Gavin Dance in Math Rock?
WTF I would say it's Post-Hardcore, don't you think?
Love the Final Fantasy Tactics music in the beginning.
i loved the part of storytelling
The menu select was rad 🤙
Instant sub good job
How to write like The Acacia Strain
Love these how toos
With a name like that, the next video is MEANT FOR YOU!
Thanks bud
you are awesome!
Rock solid homie
Nice
I can definitely get behind this. Subbing for more quality content my dude!
this made me realize how much dgd take influence from the fall of troy
Doppelganger will forever be the greatest album
Will has mentioned FOT as an influence
The Fall of Troy is terribly underrated.
Listen to the band Push Over! It’s Kurt and Thomas Erak!! (DGDxTroy)
@@tylermeyerhoff8774 Wait. What? I didn't even knew about that. Thanks for the info!
I want a copy of your original song at the end so I can listen to it and do vocal warm ups with it. I love it. It sounds like something they'd have put on Happiness or Deathstar. Defeinitely has the Kurt Era vibes. Anyway, Great Video man.
Glad you're back. Do HTWL I am abomination yo.
this is amazing
update: the heavy part rips
How to write like yuth forever please!!!
You, good sir, have my sub.
nice job
Subscribing cause of that intro cue
Wow that was dopee
11:18 lmaoo that slurp sound
yo this intro is super dope
These Afterburner songs keep getting better and better
Bruh fkn nailed it!
Dope asf
Been listenin to them since mothership, and i just now learned 5:36 THAT WILL CREATED A GENRE??? GOD DAMN THIS MAN IS A GOD
Thank you Jesse Eisenberg, I learned a lot.
the first chord section, the “will swan chord” section, and the step seven chords are all the same chord. it’s a major seventh chord, very distinct to swancore yeet. hearing chords described in fret numbers is helpful for beginners but knowing an ounce of music theory would be nice 😅
sick video. sick kiesel
Yess
Bro you need to get Victor Borba on UA-cam, he does a really convincing Mess AND Til
Sooooooo when we getting this hot spicy mix? Cause that shit was fire🔥
The wood of the fretboard is very pleasant to see
Instantly subscribed. Such good production quality right off the bat
VOV I've missed you UwU
