I touch the string
though the harp may not sing
still I dig the sky
for sun sparks to guide
down below there's a land
with an ominous hole
dug deep in the sand of belief
A million doves
orbit round the Earth
with tears of blood
dare the virgin
take integral birth
From the void I am born
into wave and particle
in the uncreated light
emerged an oracle
A million doves
orbit round the Earth
with tears of blood
slay the dragon
take integral birth
Weep no more
noble silence
usher my way home
A million doves
orbit round the Earth
with tears that flood
line in sand erased
we are but one
cosmic cavalcade
we are but one
time has come
I take integral birth

Masvidal is strong as a rock. He lost two friends and found forces to create this beautiful homage for Malone and Reinert. Thanks for sharing your pain, your love for your friends and life itself.
♥️
My deepest, most sincere sympathies to Paul Masvidal. Lots of respect for your force to continue!
Schuldiner too 🙏
Well said. Sean was a massive inspiration to me on drums and when I heard he passed, it was like losing a friend I never knew.
Hard to imagine how Paul felt, glad both Sean's can live on through their contributions to music. ❤
All musicians of Cynic were personal heroes for me as I grow and became a musician. Thank you, Paul for sharing this with us. May their souls rest in peace.
Didn’t need to comment you said it all! 100 percent
Amen Brother
Grande Sean Malone 👏🏻🙏🏻
inspiration. thank you paul.
I am a drummer who played with Sean in a band called Multi-Color House, in 1988.
I couldn't appreciate what he was doing at that time because I had never played with a bassist like that.
I considered him to be a frustrated lead guitarist that got stuck with a bass.
(He was 18 and was still evolving)
Now, in retrospect, I very much appreciate his style.
R.I.P. Sean
Lmfao, frustrated lead guitarist that got stuck with bass. Why is that so funny 🤣
R.I.P. Sean Malone and Sean Reinert. You are immortal in the heart of music itself.
do u know why Reinert died?
@@4mper619 he had heart issues.
@@ЧеловекУмный-ф8с and now ours are broken 💔
Very impactful. Putting down his bass at the end was a sad, symbolic touch.
😭😭
Cried when I saw that.
Yeah that part right there ..ugh 😢
sad and touching at one moment
yup - that hit me too
Fuck. Totally made me cry. Can almost feel what he was going through in his playing. Such a huge loss. Brilliant minds are often in the darkest places. Never be afraid to talk to someone, there's help out there
same
Same.......
Same
Hear hear
I lost my dad when I was five now seventeen I miss him so much I just want him back
Rest in peace to both Malone and Reinert, I have no idea who I would be if I didn't listen to cynic and death. I'm a 16-year-old guitarist and I've had struggles with depression, anxiety, and suicidality my whole life, and unfortunately, I lost my first love to suicide last year and spent the rest of the year recovering in treatment, I always felt so alone. In December I found out you both passed away, and I was miserable for the next week, but there was a part of me that felt validated, my hero Sean Malone was going through similar things I was going through, but unfortunately didn't make it out. I realized that if I killed myself, all of my dedication to music was for nothing and I wouldn't be able to continue to make music that I love ever so deeply. Thank you both for just existing and doing what you love to do.
Take care. Hope you recover.
Hope you're all right mate. release some videos please, we want to see you playing! cheers, keep it up
Take care mate. We just need good guitar players 🥹
I won't lie, i discovered Cynic yesterday. I always been such a huge fan of Death, my favorite album is Human even after listened it more than 500 hundred times... I discovered this band yesterday, and im really glad to know that my favorite drummer played in this beautiful band, Paul is such an legend too. Love you guys and love this beautiful song
Ya I gave focus a listen last year even tho death is one of my favorites and cynic is great. Just amazing amazing musicians and people that blessed the world with their music
It seems to me that only now i realised that Malone really had gone. I guess i was in denial with the fact that such an "super-human" like he could just die. I always had this picture of Sean being this serious musical intelectual who is above every other bassist in metal (even his looks would tell me that) and now to think that he was as human as it gets it kinda teaches us , in a rough way, that talented and gifted people are still people and mental health is so serious that it can get the best out of a HERO like Malone. Everytime i comeback to my suicidal thoughts i will remember Malone and , as a matter , out of respect for his life and legacy, i will live my life in its entirely.
Man, i've never took death of a musician as hard as i did when i heard Malone is gone.. And i agree with everything you stated about Malone.. He was a musician first.. Redefined the role of bass in metal as a result.. Everyone is playing fretless basses everywhere now. His touch is irreplaceable.
Superbly stated.
Me too man. Ill take that oath with you. I don’t think people realize how fickle life is. I go out of my way to excel and to help people to do the same because things just stop one day. And so, I hope to burn as bright as Malone for the rest of my natural life, and as a tribute.
Sean setting his bass down at the end was powerful. RIP
Not having Malone in Retraced was a fatal mistake in an otherwise flawless discography. This is the best version. How can one man be so importan?
"Love every sound" - Sean Malone
Thanks for everything Sean.
Paul Masvidal Argentina is waiting for your soul and Art!!!! 🥰
Cynic is part of the soundtrack of my life.
RIP Sean Malone, and Sean Reinert.
Rip, Sean Reinert. Rip, Sean Malone.
I am 35 and have listened to this band for half of my life. It’s hard to find proper words to explain this thing. You can lose your friends, your wife, your love, but music will be with you forever. It’s like a best friend. Looking forward to seeing Paul with Cynic at a gig.
His fretless sound like a salute from other world to us. R.I.P🖤
I just heard about his passing. I loved his Gordian Knot music. The song Grace with hit even harder when I listen to it now. What a sad loss! Rip!
RIP Sean M. and Sean R. Cynic is my favorite band of all time, and those 3 guys are some of the most beautifully talented musicians the world will ever know. It is saddening to know that I will never hear new Cynic music. I am so sorry to Paul, he lost them both in the same year. Much love, healing and peace to you, Paul. I know it must be extremely hard. 💛
It's been tough on Paul, but he has actually announced he been working on new Cynic material on his Instagram. Definitely a bitter sweet thing.
The new song is awesome. Has a slightly 'haunted' feel, undoubtedly due to the loss of the Rhythm Section.
I know there is new music coming, but it definitely won't be the same Cynic. I will surely still support Paul in his endeavors. I'm sure the new stuff will be amazing, just not the same if you know what I mean.
@@dnbwu83h82wn28unbinb the new album was Paul saying goodbye to both Seans, the cover was made by Martina Hoffman (Robert Venosa's wife) as a tribute to her dead husband. The music is magical, Im sure bot Seans are there in the recording studio playing next to Paul playing you just need to hear with your soul. Its a masterpiece and probably the last Cynic album. But as Paul finalizes his mourning maybe we can wait for Cynic Mk2 or ReCynic or wathever he might call It.
Schuldiner, Reinert, Malone... Paul Masvidal is strong as a rock.
Cynic is immortal. Thank you paul for sharing this. You represent all that's good and precious in the music we share our passion for, and deserve every single inch of love, respect and tears we manage to return to you.
I couldn't watch this back when it was first released. Since I finally could today, I guess I'm a little further along grieving the magnificent talent that we lost when Sean Malone left us. Still hurts, but it was worth it. That fretless work is utterly sublime, and a sublime take on a great tune.
Sean Malone you touched my heart thanks for every single song you played. You're in a better place doing great things. Descansa en paz hermano. 🙏🙏🇲🇽🇲🇽
RIP Sean, this band has gotten me through some dark times in my life. I want to thank you Paul and the rest of the band for creating such great music, it has helped me a lot through my life.
RIP Malone and Reinert - tears are flowing and goosebumps in my cheeks and arms my favourite song that will always be engrave one the deepest of my core and my whole being. May their light shine forever in your eyes and their music echoes forever in our hearts! What a piece. Cynic my heart love, the band that shakes my soul
Huge loss...
This is so sad to hear... R.I.P Sean. you leyend, amazing human being.
See you in eternity. ☄️
Hearing this live was one of the powerful musical moments I've ever lived. I feel so sorry for both Sean :c
..On September 11th, 2016 i lost my best friend, Rob Delugach.. For weeks after he passed I couldn't get this song from my mind. It haunted me for months and months.. Maybe even over a year or more.. Upon seeing this.. I had to try and watch it. The moment, Reinert appeared i cried like a fucken baby.. Rest in peace Sean Malone.. And you too my dearest brother Sean Reinert..
I got to see Sean play at a Thorougbred Music Store Clinic in Clearwater. I had heard his name. He actually blew me away. Playing his Kubicki I seem to recall. So sad to hear of how he passed. RIP Sean. Beautiful player.
Presenting Sean as the amazing musician he was will always be a beautiful tribute. Rest In Peace, homie.
On friday when I read what had happened to Sean Malone, I felt shocked and my soul just couldn't handle it for a second.
This year has been hard to get through and I contemplated suicide more than once.
At my worst, I spoke up and told my cousin about it, and he really helped me to get out of that mindset.
I still have good days and bad days like everyone, but damn, the passing of Malone and Reinert hit me hard.
I get chills everytime for poor Malone thinking he could have gotten more help, but I also rejoice in thinking that he's no longer in pain.
His amazing musicality will always inspire me to be better every day and I will be dedicating my next album to him, where I will be talking of my own suicide as a concept.
It will follow a narrative and such.
Rest easy, Sean Malone.
And see you on the other side.
Thank you for everything.
Glad that you chose to speak up! Please, never choose any other way.
Please get this version on spotify... it's so good
His eyes always looked like he was sad. RIP to all souls who gave up before reaching happiness.
Shit this makes me sad. Sean was my favourite of all. I'm not a musician, but play bass regularly and he's compositions were always my inspiration to what i wanted to achieve as a player. Damn it hits hard. He will be deeply missed. A big hug.
I listen to this whenever I need to feel something and just crumble. This is the most powerful bass performance I've ever heard; the solo is simply perfect.
One of my heroes in music is Sean Malone, his work on fretless bass will prevail for eternity, thank you for everything Sean.
Very powerful performance. This should be officially released on an album, the sound and performances are top notch. Sean was such an exquisite composer of lines that burst with emotion and propel the song in the most beautiful ways…
Hey paul,
It's 3:40 in the morning right now, I just came back home from backlining a gig and stumbled here by chance. Might be a little incoherent and emotional.
A little more than a decade ago when I started learning bass my teacher decided to get me to learn this song, which is how I was introduced to cynic.
It's hard to describe how important you guys were to me growing up, how your music led me to the career I picked.
Thank you, and big love ❤️
You are fortunate to have a teacher who is guiding you with such powerful, beautiful, and outside of the box music.
So beatiful and sad at the same time💔
R.I.P Sean Malone and Sean Reinert.
I normally do my meditations with Ascensión codes (It helped me a lot to survive the pandemic thats why I am very grateful to cynic) but strangely Integral started and I couldn't not have this feeling of joy and pain again.
Please Paul play this song the 7/02 in Quebec🙏🏼!
One of the most beautiful songs of all time. Thanks for these treasure.
R.I.P Sean Malone and Sean Reinhart
You're gone but your music will remain forever 💙
Just the voyage of existence! All is transformed, pain is an illusion as dead, let's celebrate the life and the legacy of this great musical beings that travels into another dimensions.
Thanks for all Cynic.
Illusions leave no mark, friend, and pain very much does. It is up to the individual, however, to decide if that mark will be beautifying or condemning. Pain can change a person in profound ways. But how one processes it determines how that pain manifests. Sometimes it can be a useful tool. Other times, it can be a hindrance. Strive to use it as a growing experience. The alternative is destruction of self.
Listen to how all of his notes bloom
No other bassist like this man
I understand and can deeply relate with why Sean felt he needed to leave. But so much sadness has been left behind. Sean I pray you found peace for all eternity.
I’m shattered with tears running down my face listening to this, so very sad for the loss but so very grateful to have heard sean at all in my life
Altough I consider myself an avid follower of "the metal scene" in general, for somehow I just learned about his passing. Sean and Sean were instantly two of my favourite musicians after I heard Death - Human and Cynic's first album respectively. Such talend. I wish Paul and Seans' families all the best and all the strength. Sad day.
Just when I thought this song couldn't get any more beautiful. Rest in peace Sean.
This is beyound touching and beautiful. RIP.
Sorry I could not finish this one... I am at work now and don't want to burst into tears.
A real friend Mr Masvidal Is . What a Beutiful way of pay tribute and say goodbye to a dear friend.
Amazing tribute. Sean Malone is my first influence on bass. I was shocked to hear that he passed away. But his legacy will live through his music and his fans!!! Thanks for sharing, Paul!
I'm sorry you felt this way Sean. I wish we could've given you the help you needed.
Still so heartbroken. So thankful that their music will be an integral part of the rest of my life and I can enjoy them the rest of my days.
Such a beautiful song. I'd never listened to Cynic before - such a shame that his death was my introduction. :'(
oh man, if you're digging his playing, you should check out Gordian Knot stuff.. He also did an OSI record, and performed with Paul Gilbert and Portnoy live, there are videos of that. he was such a brilliant, dedicated musician. he's my favorite bass player since i've first heard of him in 2008, and he'll surely remain one.. RIP
Check out Our Oceans and Exivious if you dig his style (and this style of music), metal with heavy influence from jazz and fusion
Holy fallout, Humanoid, Kindly bent to free us, the lion's roar, Carbon based anatomy and the 2nd half of Earth is my witness are just a few examples of his incredible playing with Cynic .
Malone and Reinert's drum and bass cohesion is beautiful, too.
you've got some amazing albums to discover, one of my favorite bands ever
Focus
Traced In Air
Carbon Based Anatomy
Kindly Bent To Free Us
Now there's more Malone than just there. But you got homework it seems.
Im currently on the bottom of it all, trying to think why am I suffering, the meaning of all this pain, and like this band, its hard to understand, but thats the magic of it all, the journey, and I could not keep moving without your music, Paul, you are a legend, I want to be as strong as you, thank you for the gift of music
RIP Sean Malone - Sean Reinert
Thank you for posting this. The best Eulogy for what the man was... 😥💜
My brother brought home "Focus" back in the early 90s and it made a lasting impacting on me. So terribly sad to lose Sean Malone after we lost Sean Reinert not long ago. Your music will not be forgotten...
its not easy to tell how awesome sean was,no word can describe it..
this breaks my heart with the same intensity it fills my heart with hope and beauty
We have so much love for you Sean. Cynic has and always will be such a massive influence on us.
Bawling my eyes out. Thank you for sharing. A true Titan and sorely missed by the world. Thank you for sharing ♥️
so sad, i was so elated on meeting paul in boston, that once i did, i took a breather, took about 10 minutes, came outside, and my best friend told me i had just missed the seans hanging out in front of the venue. i was heartbroken then and even more devastated now that i didn't have a chance to meet them. RIP to the goats
i haven’t cried in a long time and this really brought me to tears rest in peace one of the best rhythm sections in music history
Rest In Peace Sean Malone and Sean Reinert. Two of my musical heroes gone too soon. They’ll forever live in our hearts 🖤.
Man, Sean Malone was one of the many greats made me want to play bass, even have his instructional books he's written. I took his his death pretty hard. RIP Sean Malone and RIP Sean Reinert.
brought a tear to the eye.
Some of the deepest and most innovative musicians of the XX century. We love you.
A piece of my teenage years is gone way too soon 😞😞
Three prog gods together playing such beautiful music! Only one remains now... So sad.
I've tried to watch this video several times since it was posted, and I just can't do it. From note one of Sean Malone's playing, it just makes me so sad. He was such a brilliant human and musician, and to think that he and Sean Reinert are no longer with us to share their gifts is just too much for me to make it through the video right now. Thank you for posting this.
I can't stop coming back to this.
you're always welcome ❤️
Straight through the heart. Thanks for sharing this. I'm out of words but a rush of feelings.. and tears... RIP Sean ❤️
Wonderful tribute...such a beautiful song. May his soul be at rest.
Just when I thought there couldn't be a better version of this masterpiece. You'll always be my hero Sean
An amazing musician, and a true innovator. Even when I wasn't actively looking for his music, I still found his playing or influence in so many places, and that's just a surface-level indicator of all the people he reached. There are many people who will continue to explore the boundaries of music and art, and as they do so, I'm sure Sean's music will be ringing in their mind.
The most beautiful fretless melodies, please release the bass sheets/tablatures for the fans. We want to interpret Sean and remember him forever.
I still look up to these fallen hero’s. His 5005e fretless sounds absolutely incredible and I dream of having my own one day!
Paul what you all achieved will influence generations to come and resonate forever within the motions of a universe. In those moments of darkness and introspection, I hope their legacy blesses you with strength and you heal.
Please know it has and always will be, an honour to have listened, watched, studied, reflected, meditated and played along to, a part of the journey!
So much love Paul! I brought a Godwin A5, my first fretless. One of the first songs i want to work on is veil! Am getting the hang of vibrato!
Man this video exudes emotion. R.I.P Malone and Reinert
They are eternal, within us and without us. Rest in peace.
this one still hurts.
This song makes me cry no. .. So emotional, so inspired. Love u Paul, love u Cynic. 😍
Вечная память!
I got the *90,000th view* 😁! I know because it was 89,999 *before* I played this, and *after* _a couple of replays,_ it refreshed to 90,000 😀!
Gracias por todo Sean Malone
I hadn't listened to Cynic's music in years.
As I was about to go to bed, for some strange reason Sean's name popped into my head and I felt compelled to pull up some video of him playing... it seems like the universe pointed me towards this tribute.
I have fond memories of this song; had I thought of it a day earlier I would have missed this.
This hits me hard. I have discovered Cynic when I was a teenager and for almost 30 years their music was present in my life. Being a drummer myself, I have always admired Sean Reinert's artistry and precision and Malone's exceptional bass performance and unique tone. Knowing they are both gone is like I have lost two great friends.
Fuck this hurts.. beautiful, sad and everlasting. RIP bass god, hope you found peace 😢
Feels like: The world needs no more songs… This song shall be the last one :‘( Perfection…
It's so hard for me to perceive how someone who was loved by so many took his own life. I guess that a lot of things are so hard to perceive in this world. I hope he is in a better place now..
We ll Never forget the Magic touch bring by your music R.I.P the two Sean from Cynic
Why? Why did you leave this world too early...? I miss you and I want to listen your play again. I miss you... miss you...
I'm 39. How did I just find this band? ❤
Damn... a whole new dimension to a song I already love in all its forms. Sean's playing was beautiful here. My sincerest condolences for both Seans' passings... amazing musicians
Nádherná muzika.Pořád tomu nemůžu uvěřit,že už Sean Malone není mezi námi.
Donde quiera que estés Sean, muchas gracias por tu música y la pasión que pusiste en ella. Tu legado es invaluable y seguirá inspirando a muchas generaciones, nunca te olvidaremos.
Here I am sitting at work when I see this article appear in my news feed. Begin reading and in literal tears at work... had to step outside to gather myself.
Cynic has been my favorite band since Focus. Malone and Reinert my favorite rhythm section. Their losses have left a hole in the music world, and in many hearts. This bass playing is beautiful... I don't know if I want to learn it as I'm sure it'll bring me to tears. But what better way to honor Sean Malone? Let his notes resonate within and through me.
RIP Sean Malone and Sean Reinert.
this is the most moving and beautiful song i've ever listen. I could not imagine how much difficult this was for Paul you are really a strong man
Couldn't help it, I cried. It's so sad how both Seans passed on way too early.
Rip Sean, best bass player ever imo, Perfect track and when he puts the bass down, just.. :(
