Node of Scherzo this song is old. Off their 3rd album with its namesake. I like the update to it. It's mostly stayed true to the original surprisingly since they've greatly changed their other remakes.
Yes, they do, they never stop for me too. They will remake 3 old songs , for their recopilatory(re recording) album for their 20th anniversary , "Vestige of Scratches". I am very excited about that. I'm not asking the band to outdo this, or to repeat this masterpiece, but oh geez do something close. haha . The remakes will be "Beautiful Dirt", "Fukai" (I'm very excited about this one personally) and "The IIID empire".
one and only band that ever existed, that's gonna remake a song 3 times and make it better each time. I'd be a pet if I hadn't engrained them in my heart 13 years ago.
Kyo has said over and over again he wasn't proud of their older music. Unraveling was just an EP/mini album. Dum Spiro Spero was one of their most creative works yet in my opinion, it's one of my favorites, they're just discovering themselves.
I discovered them sept 2017 right before I got divorced and falling in love with the music Dir en grey and Sukekiyo made it so easy and therapeutic . After two years I still can’t explain oh it was such a good trade. (-) stay negative
I love the original and I love the remake! I'm so happy that Dir en grey want to play their older songs and also enjoy remaking them! I think it's wonderful that they haven't just discarded their earlier albums because many of the fans still enjoy those albums!
UltimateTMF3 he is the best drummer in asia for the last 20 years. the sound of percussion is certainly world class and the variation of drumming style for every song he play is absolutely outstanding. only danny carey from tool is better than shinya in my opinion. except danny we can't see any drummer in this style is better than shinya. maybe martin lopez can be compare to shinya but i think shinya is still better than lopez.
Risan Upara Well, that's a bit of an overstatement. I mean, Dir en grey has been a personal favorite of mine for years now but you can never tell for sure who's the best. There's just simply too many good bands out there and many good drummers themselves vastly differ from each other in terms of style.
Imagine if they really did manage to do a version every bit as long one day! That'd be pretty damn crazy and deserve its own release just like Art Of Life.
What I love about this song is that it manages to retain the whole atmosphere and feel of the original 'macabre' (as well as the original album), whilst managing to incorporate their new sound. Amazing.
...and ever. of all the many songs across genres and artists I cherish and hold deer to my heart, if I ever had to represent myself with one song, it would be macabre.
For people complaining about prices and special additions and VIP etc... duh. They dont make money off of albums like they used to because it leaks onto the web. Including this song. Sure, share it; if you can afford it then buy it. I always enjoy listening but I am broke for a while so... yay for leaks. And believe me I make up for it every time they play near me... VIP, merch, etc... and I have to save for months. Do I mind? No. Because that is how they make their money. Any smart band would do the same.
The art used in here and for Omen is by Zdzislaw Beksinski, awesome surrealist painter from Poland. His works are amazing and used quite often as cover art in music :)
@@temmi_ hearing is the last sense to go, and some people hallucinate when they die. I like to think that I would still technically be able to "hear" after brain death or hallucinate that Im hearing it
This is a fantastic remake of the original, as they pushed the more avant-garde segments further and made the soloing even more epic. All of Diru's longer songs are the best!
For me, this is their second best song ever made, a little bit below Vinushka, but that's really close. What a beautiful melody. I also love the lyrics and the thematic behind the song. I'm listening to that band especially for songs like this one, I've never found something similar elsewhere, this is really unique. Also, it's quite interesting to listen to the first version of that song and compare it to that one: there's been some huge progress in terms of instrumentals and vocalizes !
One of their best and most ambitious pieces, in my opinion. But still, for me the best part is, thanks to this video I was introduced to the Mega Artist Zdzisław Beksiński. Thank you +Douglas Ferreira!
Haven't heard their songs in years so here i am revisiting some of my favourite DeG tracks only to find out they've remade one of my favourites! This version is fkn great!
TheaSAMA yeah because it's mostly still the same unlike than the utter trash they made of Unknown.Despair.A Lost god so much disappointment with that remake
It's much more than a remake. It's an expansion. And I absolutely love what was added. It's totally not gratuitous imo and really further evolves the song.
The original and this song are two different masterpieces. I heard the original when I was 11 in 2006, and I’m listening to this in 2020 when I’m 26 for the first time. I really like both
@@Diflatte i mean it wasn’t the weirdest thing I listened to at that age, I listened to other minor visual kei bands which I would argue were more “menhera” 😂 but early-mid deg was definitely my gateway to all this
Dir en Grey are only getting better & better. As for Tue Madsen's work on their recent releases, I could not be more satisfied with his work. Their last several releases have been more than amazing. Though comprised of mostly of remixes, I cannot say that I have seen any other bands remake their songs in a way that Dir En Grey has, to sound as completely different tracks. They can still offer up a different song [new music] even with the same song. Even remade several times, still sound new
It's the direction they started taking at The Marrow of a Bone and completed with Dum Spiro Spero. The Unraveling was basically a sweeping transformation of all their old songs into this new style. What kills me is I love both styles independently, but I'm not sure I prefer this being a permanent change.
Steven Dixon that would be relevant perhaps if Dir en grey was Death metal but considering their not and how diverse each one of their albums is within multiple genres I Don't think that applies.
Steven Dixon As an extreme metal guitarist that's been listening to and writing death/doom/black/thrash/etc. for 20 years, I feel Dir en Grey has easily and solidly been in the camp of what I would call death metal for the last two or three albums. It's quirkier and it's unique, but it's definitely death metal, and in a lot of ways is very much heavier and edgier than the couple thousand death metal bands still doing the same thing from the early '90s Florida scene.
Paul Smith I feel compelled to concur with your statement, as a long time fan of Diru, spanning back to their glam/Visual Kei days. I love watching this band and its respective members evolve.
You’re so lucky! I wish I could’ve seen DeG and they came again last year in December I think but I wasn’t able to see them cause I was broke😭😭 I still am
Tue Madsen knows EXACTLY what he is doing.. He's not only a producer yet had been playing music himself for many years. Anyone saying otherwise has obviously not been immensely involved in music. Anyone who has been involved in music & that has a "true" appreciation for music, will undoubtedly agree. I've been amazed with Tue's work on these newer releases, as well as with the work of Akira Yamaoka on DEG's recent release of RINKAKU [Eternal Slumber Version]
I'll also add that using a new chord progression in the final chorus with floating acoustic guitar melodies, rather than clean electric guitars, was a great idea. It gives the chorus a sombre, reflective air and leads into the spectacular outro section; ending as the piece began, followed by the huge 'symphonic' riff. I don't understand how a previous fan of Macabre could not only dislike this, but hate it. I'm not sold on Kasumi, but I think the other remakes are good, not great, but worth it.
I don't have a clue of the lyrics to this song, and probably won't for a while, but I will say that regardless, this piece has moved me emotionally and psychologically. This is them at their best without a doubt. I have to also give a nod to you, Douglas. For posting this audio clip with an image from the portfolio of Zdzeislaw Beksinski. I feel the majority of his work can be personified by this piece of music. Beksinski himself may have hated anything doing such thing, but he was a fan of rock music. I wonder had he still been alive would he have discovered the music of Dir En Grey? Thanks again for sharing this video, Douglas. It really is a great song that I feel only grew more powerful with this remake.
if im not mistaken, is about a butterfly getting out of its shell to fly free, at that moment the first break appears, and the butterfly realizes that there's something threatening its life and well.....the song is awesome, btw
I wasn't a fan of the new Obscure, but this is mint. Dammit this band is still a favorite, 15 years from when I first heard the original version of Clever Sleazoid
Un-fucking-believeable. Dir en grey, once again, you cease to fucking amaze me. I was expecting the main tracklist for the EP to be better, but this fucking track, and the unplugged version of Unraveling and The Final, make up for all of that. This definitely blew me the fuck away. You never fucking disappoint. Never.
I appreciate the part around 11:00 and ongoing so much, too. I have always liked "Macabre", but this version became an extremely dear song to me. I want to breathe it in - into every single cell.
All i have to say is WOW! I've been a dirty en gay fan since i was a lad, hearing this remake mind fucks me. I am so use to the old Macabre. and this new version just blows my entire universe away. This song reaches a Spiritual level of Infinity. Thank you Dir en Grey.
MACABRE 「The Chrysalis Dream of a Swallowtail Butterfly’s Wings」 You dream of spreading your wings to the wind So ready to become a swallowtail You’d look so beautiful bound up in my snake skin …a daydream Rain pours into the ground, gurgling Unable to move or see anything Becoming bait and waiting for the spring to come …mouth open The insect, pupal stage, pumping it's wings Ready to fly out at any moment You look so cute now that you're finally grown up You who fell in love with all the flowers You’ll sip and sip on the sweet honey nectar Your desire… so that you don’t even notice me… …with fangs out- [I bloom ablaze at your love Towards the escargot and foie gras; intimate delicacy] Oh you, shaken, my beloved pupa That precious chrysalis had to be broken Don’t flutter your dirty wings and shake me from inside… …my stomach. . . {Your wings torn away Scattered, shaking, broken -what did I tell you? That my snake skin will feel nice… Don’t you just love it to death?} 「Beautiful captive mermaid, swimming in a pool of gastric juice Although your wings have been removed the pupa will grow them too…」 Spread those wings I saw while you were dreaming Soon enough, finally the wind can hit them My favorites - round and long just like the ones you have {Your wings torn away Scattered, shaking, broken -what did I tell you? That my snake skin will feel nice… Don’t you just love it to death? Life- A repeating answer Around and around As your twisted, warped and bent self Starts to fester and melt Shall we mix together as one?} 「As you are, I suppose I will allow it -but don’t you be a cruel and savage being You're forgetting to eat the legs lying upon the ground… ….no leftovers, please」
For anyone that reads this: it’s my own variation rewritten from multiple translations of the song in its different phases. I matched Kyo’s phrasing and melodies so that it can be sung in English the same way, and hopefully does his lyrics justice in telling the story the same way he intended. Please feel free to use this for your own covers or just for singing along! If you’d like to hear my own rendition, I’ll be posting it to this account soon after I perform it live. Follow and look out for it; thank you for supporting amazing music.
Thanks for posting this. It's one of my favorite songs. I recently bought the original album this is from but, I've had it for quite a while now. I'm on a quest to have all of their albums in physical format lol
I have their older music and still listen to ALL of their music, alternating between the old and new.. Yet I have to say, that I have no regrets in purchasing every release since Uroboros, Uroboros Remastered & Expanded, Dum Spiro Spero & DSS Limited Edition, as well as RINKAKU Limited & The Unraveling Limited. I had purchased both the regular & limited versions of these releases & find myself listening to these newer releases more often now. They've a lot of new fans since these released.
They still keep doing it. It's best to block the comments section rather than having your eyes infected by a cancer after reading comments like "It's more better than the older ones" and shit.
I thought I'd throw my hand into the music politics of this comment section. New DeG is fucking sick and nobody can contest the fact they're just getting more skilled as they go along. But I have a soft spot for the original macabre. IMO it felt more coherent around the breakdown. There's a lot of ideas floating around the remake and it just doesn't have quite the same flow. It's a new song. Which is great, the parts I like stand out from the original and I fucking love them. And I have bias towards the familiar. The remake's just kind of all over the place with its tone. If it fits the lyrics better... well... I'm a gaijin that only hanashimasu's English.

MACABRE (THE UNRAVELING Ver.)
作曲︰Dir en grey
作詞︰京
羽を広げて飛びたい君は揚羽の夢見る
蛇革似合いそうだね
ガラガラの雨に打たれ 身動きが出来なくてね
餌に成り春を待つだけ 口が開く
蛹から羽を広げ 今にも飛び立ちそうで
可愛さ余った君はもう 大人ね
花に恋をした君は蜜を啜り啜っては
僕に気付かず そのままで
牙を剥く
愛咲き乱れ エスカルゴとフォアグラの君に
愛おしい蛹の君が 薄汚れた羽を見せて
僕をフリフリ振ったね 胃の中
バラリグラリ薔薇バラの君
羽はもげて 蛇の皮が似合う様な?
廻り廻る廻った答え繰り返して
繰り返されて行く命を
曲がり曲がる曲がった君は溶け爛れて
一つに成り 混ざり合おうか
「きっと人魚の様に胃液のプール泳ぐ。」
「きっと揚羽の様に蛹は羽生やす。」
夢にまで見たコノ背に
貴方似の真ん丸い
お気に入りの長い羽を
物陰に隠れている
貴方も出ておいで
大切なのは気持ちだけ
そうでしょ？
廻り廻る廻った答え繰り返して
繰り返されて行く命を
曲がり曲がる曲がった君は
解け爛れて一つに成り 混ざり合おうか
Cold Rain
蜘蛛の上に乗る貴方は
涙を這わせて
目紛るしく空と土と螺旋城で命を宿す
「犠牲心、貴方は正しい?」
Masochism ＋ Sadism
慣れない貴方の腕にしがみ付き眠る
怖くて眠れない夜 貴方が恋しい
側には情もない 朽ち果ての未来と欲
運命の蜘蛛の糸分かち合おうか、ただ…
さよならは一度だけ、何故此処に堕ちた…
銀の眼が輝く巨大な貴方、嗚呼…
貴方なら許せるわね 残酷な生き物でも
脚を地面に忘れたわ 残さないでね
ゆらりゆらりゆらゆら揺れ
偽りの無い一途な眼に瞬きすらも忘れ、思う
一心不乱
貴方の中、噛み砕かれて行く季節ね
ありがとう

MACABRE
「The Chrysalis Dream of a Swallowtail Butterfly’s Wings」
You dream of spreading your wings to the wind
So ready to become a swallowtail
You’d look so beautiful bound up in my snake skin
…a daydream
Rain pours into the ground, gurgling
Unable to move or see anything
Becoming bait and waiting for the spring to come
…mouth open
The insect, pupal stage, pumping it's wings
Ready to fly out at any moment
You look so cute now that you're finally grown up
You who fell in love with all the flowers
You’ll sip and sip on the sweet honey nectar
Your desire… so that you don’t even notice me…
…with fangs out-
[I bloom ablaze at your love
Towards the escargot and foie gras; intimate delicacy]
Oh you, shaken, my beloved pupa
That precious chrysalis had to be broken
Don’t flutter your dirty wings and shake me from inside…
…my stomach. . .
{Your wings torn away
Scattered, shaking, broken
-what did I tell you?
That my snake skin will feel nice…
Don’t you just love it to death?}
「Beautiful captive mermaid, swimming in a pool of gastric juice
Although your wings have been removed
the pupa will grow them too…」
Spread those wings I saw while you were dreaming
Soon enough, finally the wind can hit them
My favorites - round and long just like the ones you have
{Your wings torn away
Scattered, shaking, broken
-what did I tell you?
That my snake skin will feel nice…
Don’t you just love it to death?
Life-
A repeating answer
Around and around
As your twisted, warped and bent self
Starts to fester and melt
Shall we mix together as one?}
「As you are, I suppose I will allow it
-but don’t you be a cruel and savage being
You're forgetting to eat the legs lying upon the ground…
….no leftovers, please」
For anyone that reads this: it’s my own variation rewritten from multiple translations of the song in its different phases. I matched Kyo’s phrasing and melodies so that it can be sung in English the same way, and hopefully does his lyrics justice in telling the story the same way he intended. Please feel free to use this for your own covers or just for singing along! If you’d like to hear my own rendition, I’ll be posting it to this account soon after I perform it live. Follow and look out for it; thank you for supporting amazing music.
Thanks for posting this. It's one of my favorite songs. I recently bought the original album this is from but, I've had it for quite a while now. I'm on a quest to have all of their albums in physical format lol
How have I not appreciated this until now?
I have their older music and still listen to ALL of their music, alternating between the old and new.. Yet I have to say, that I have no regrets in purchasing every release since Uroboros, Uroboros Remastered & Expanded, Dum Spiro Spero & DSS Limited Edition, as well as RINKAKU Limited & The Unraveling Limited. I had purchased both the regular & limited versions of these releases & find myself listening to these newer releases more often now. They've a lot of new fans since these released.
DIR史上最長の曲
10:30 からが好きすぎる
This is a masterpiece.
This is pure Art.
Masterpiece
I LOVE IT. this new version is amazing
dir en grey's music and Beksinski's paintings are the best combination
yes, i adore them as they were and as they are now. i guess our passion towards their music is powerful then others.
京様愛しています🦋🦋🦋
That was 13 years after the original... Another four years, and we'll have one as long as Art Of Life.
They still keep doing it. It's best to block the comments section rather than having your eyes infected by a cancer after reading comments like "It's more better than the older ones" and shit.
I love covers. And a band making covers of its own songs!! :D
I thought I'd throw my hand into the music politics of this comment section.
New DeG is fucking sick and nobody can contest the fact they're just getting more skilled as they go along.
But I have a soft spot for the original macabre.
IMO it felt more coherent around the breakdown.
There's a lot of ideas floating around the remake and it just doesn't have quite the same flow.
It's a new song.
Which is great, the parts I like stand out from the original and I fucking love them.
And I have bias towards the familiar.
The remake's just kind of all over the place with its tone.
If it fits the lyrics better... well... I'm a gaijin that only hanashimasu's English.
0:00-16:18 OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD.
I almost lost it at the extension..Goddamn I love you guys!
