HEVYDEVY FORUMS

There are so many amazing moments that he's got vocally, but what are the BEST?

Some of my favorites from the top of my head:

Life - "I'll see you on the other side!"
Funeral - "AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M COMING HOME!" (that whole verse really)
Earth Day - EVERYTHING in the fucking pre-chorus, especially the final "IT'S A WAY / IT'S A WAY / IT'S A WAY / IT'S A WAY!!"
Nobody's Here - "Feels like there's no-BODY HERE!" (you know the part)
The Fluke - That crazy scream
Deadhead - Will you save me!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (my absolute favorite Devin vocal moment)
Random Analysis - STAY WITH ME!

Yours?

Tiny Tears - "And now I'm 29 years old, and I'm a million miles away"

Possibly his most moving line, it's delivery is amazing.

forward… eyes forward…

"Is the oldest wound that I've nursed along" Things Beyond Things
"Winter hides the dead, just like summer ends too soon.." all the intro of Dynamics
"Come back with me pleeeeease..." and all the words before that, is amazing how the man don't looses his breath singing that
The kingdom chorus

The very end of Storm or when the vocals first kick in on Deadhead.

Every line mentoined is amazing. I would like to add the performance in Death of Music. Especially:

"Don't die on me
Don't go away
When I need you here
In my need "

and the amazing ending vocals with no words.


And in Solar Winds, my favourite part:

"Say it again!
Say it again!
Words are useful weapons!
Say it again, and again and again and again and again and again!

Hey, Don’t let her down,
You’ve let her into my world...
Hey, you’ll never learn,
You’ve let her into my mind."

etc.

The chorus of Night. Every time I hear it makes me wants to punch things and cry at the same time.

The whole suite of Funeral, Bastard, The Death of Music, Things Beyond Things.

The climaxes of Storm, Kingdom, Dynamics, Om.

The chanty parts on Ki, Hide Nowhere, Down and Under.

Doesn't belong in this thread, but the last chorus of Force Fed.

Its gotta be ''Well it's gone, gone away'' for the last time on Solar Winds when all the harmonies kick in. Chills everytime

One of my favorites has to be that short-but-epic part in the latter part of Deep Peace when I sings "I feel it now, I feel it now." (I believe that is what he says...the CD booklet doesn't show the lyrics for this part of the tune)

"...Distractions" in Disruptr. HE DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING SOUND HUMAN!! DAAAAAAmmmnnnn. I can't get over that. And of course "BE A GOD DAMN MAAAAANNNN, BOY!" That'd pretty rad too.
Similarly to that, "...Burn" in Heaven Send.

Last couple seconds of By Your Command.

The Death of Music around 9:49 - My God.

Canada where he sings "on" in the first verse - so many layers of Devin.. just beautiful. There are many more, but those are just off the top of my noggin.

Tobylove wrote:forward… eyes forward…

Emphatically, yes.

"Cause in the winter time, when everything is grey, and in the summer time into the month of May..." That whole verse of Stagnant is amazing.

"Every day with my skies of grey. In my fields of green" That tune he sings to on Triumph is wicked, wished it carried on a little longer.

"Cant you see through me?! Can't you hear through me?! Just a moment in time..." Fluke

"GET DOWN THERE" etc

All of Truth, the choir vocals. So big.

"It's just entertainment, folks!"

The choir vox in the arpeggio part of Ki.

All of Almost Again, and the chorus of You Suck.

That's it for me

Although Almost Again isn't solo, I need to second that. Great vocals. The "With the speed of sound I will be found. With the speed of light..." part is just ffffccckkkkiingggg gaaahh!

Planet Rain.

quiet now, quiet now.. cause it's the end of the world!

I'm sorry...
