      +Daniel Tompkins I've been an active music listener (and on/off musician) for over a half-century, and find your work among the best I've ever heard. Such passion, control, versatility - this video alone is a tour de force. Definitely the best vocalist I've heard in the past few years. Kudos, and keep it up, sir.

    All the vocal dissonances in this album are spine chilling, Polaris is a masterpiece

    There's something quite mesmerising about how still Dan stays when recording, great recording

      +BLFilms I don't know how he does it, when I sing a song with this kind of emotion I do some kind of physical movement to express what I'm singing without even thinking about it.

      He's often like this live too. He will just strike a pose and stay there for a while. Or at least when I saw them.

      His voice used to be so thin, and almost whiny, but now it's full and as beautiful as ever. I love One and his vocals are great on that album but this is just.... I can't even explain.

  • @itsmouldyinthefridge

    Absolutely phenomenal writer, and vocalist. Tesseract are my favourite band, and I listen to absolutely everything but chart music. The way the lyrics paint the picture, but also invoke thought, is genius. The word play, the word choice, the placement and melodies, are all absolutely perfect. Not to mention the rest of the band, holy s***. Just absolute true talent in intelligent young men. Love from Milton Keynes! ;)

  • @lordofrephaim1824

    Wowwww, I just lived my dream watching this. I havent been this into a band in close to a decade. 20 yrs of drumming and this music really captivates me, perhaps maybe the most I've heard in my entire life.

    Watching in 2021. Probably one of my favorite TesseracT songs, but there are WAY to many to chose from... This was a phenomenal performance.

  • @GoreDefex1
    @GoreDefex1 7 років тому +1

    Unbearably talented vocals. I wish any of my lead singers in any band I have been in could be this good for even just one song... So many times in my living room singing so loud I can't speak the day after just to even attempt to get this kinda sound and the guy barely moves or has to try. I am on a month long Daniel Tompkins bender right now going through every single body of work that exists and its just all amazing. That's not the right word its too simple. Voices like this come along a few times in a generation and I just feel lucky to get to witness it. I am so glad for every single piece of music he has made because once its released and I own it no one can take it away or erase it from history so I can now feel comfortable knowing I have it forever.
    Discovering Tesseract was easily by far the best accident of my entire life thus far and trying to sing along with Daniel is next level shit. Hopefully it doesn't offend him to say I love all the singers of Tesseract but theres just some serious magic to this guys voice.

  • @danielmaiermusic94

    Your smile's giving me
    All that you know
    I'm your design
    Voices explode in the dark
    Don't shoot the messenger
    It's not our fault
    Your words weighting me down
    Smother me
    I'm your design
    Do you know
    I'd take the empty road?
    But it's too dangerous to explore
    Is your world
    Much safer than before
    Because I don't feel whole?
    Destroy entire worlds
    Destroy entire worlds
    Enter into the sound
    I'll behave for you
    Casting fear into doubt
    I was made for you
    Apathetic interaction
    Another distraction
    A lack of compassion
    For the weak you don't see
    Hopelessly I
    Can you see the flood?
    Can you feel the urgency?
    Can you see the sun
    Set behind the willow tree?
    Apathetic interaction
    Another distraction
    A lack of compassion
    For the weak you don't see

    Damn... I think I may like this vocal better than what's on the album... hard to say for sure tho
    Also... some of the note choices in the vocal melody is just like... ugh it gives me chills...
    I got scared when TesseracT released an album with actual colour on the cover, but... still amazing

    • @dzamija922
      @dzamija922 8 років тому

      It's a little more up-front so you can hear it better, although that's really just a matter of taste. I like it more the way it is on the album, but both are equally cool

    @wardbox 9 років тому

    Amazing. You can see the thought process behind your notes. You can tell you're playing your vocal cords like an instrument. Lots of singers don't have this ability. It's so well calculated. Kind of like a Stanley Kubrick film, nothing is there on accident.
