    I never find a dirt poor robinsons song on purpose, they always find me.

    I cannot explain it, but the part where she sings "what if the dead are never truly dead" is so beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The sudden change of key definitely plays a role in it

    This is absolutely incredible. The changes in tone, the harmonies, the aggressive output to somber. There's just so much put into this. Vocals are equally as beautiful to the instruments. Please never stop, guys.

    Sometimes your song's melodies and harmonies are so fantastic I forget to actually hear the lyrics. And then when I process what they're saying I realise they're just as amazing as everything else 😂😂👏

    I discovered your band 3 days ago, at a party, someone added "enchanté" to the playlist. Im listening your songs since, discovering 2 or 3 per day. And Today i found this one..
    What a f***ing MASTERPIECE. OMG I'm shocked. When the chorus hit. I started to cry in the street, in front of everybody. Crying, AND smiling. I don't have enough words to say how i felt. Just, thank you. Thank you so much.

    OMG I love the song! I can't get enough of the first 30 seconds, and the rest of it is fanTAStic. It almost feels like the song is being sung by a villain.

    Besides thunderbird, this is perhaps the one I struggle the most with in terms of placing in the timeline. All the thematic pieces line up superbly, but it seems to fall on a watershed moment between the AI's rise to prominence, but early enough that flaws can still slip in somehow -- At least based on the references to the metal army marching on, about the individual sojourning, and the necessity of the duty remaining little known; To say nothing of the distortion at the end of the song.
    Definitely a puzzler I'm still not sure how to dissect, even after these weeks.
    Its good that your work is so thought provoking, even after all these listens through!

    I love this song, a lot, definitely one of my favorites (I love to sing along!), but this has been bothering me since I first learned the lyrics:
    "And through the forest haunted/I sojourn forward dauntless"
    Why dauntless when undaunted rhymes with haunted? Are the subtle differences between their definitions really worth not rhyming?

    • @dirtpoorrobins
      @dirtpoorrobins  2 месяца назад +1

      @@imgayareyou I did think of this. I prefer near rhymes over perfect rhymes when they are available. It feels more conversational and allows for surprises. But I agree, this one could have easily gone the way you’re suggesting.

    • @imgayareyou
      @imgayareyou 2 месяца назад

      I've never thought about using near-rhymes instead of rhymes. Thank you for clearing that up! It's been on my mind often enough that I once had a dream I had to sing Wax Cylinder Sonata, and I paid extra attention to make sure I said dauntless rather than undaunted, haha. I'll definitely be thinking about it the next time I try writing lyrics!

    This song is exquisitely poetic and powerful, one of the first ones that grabbed my brain from Deadhorse and wouldn’t let go. That said - tangentially, it occurred to me when listening to the Beethoven sonata bit at the end of this track that there are a lot of similarities between the sonata Pathetique movement 2 and (I realize how goofy this may sound, and I mean absolutely no disrespect to Beethoven!) that song the little mice sing to each other from “An American Tale”! So now I’m wondering both if this was intentional on the parts of the songwriters of “Somewhere Out There” and if there was any intent by DPR to evoke this at all, seeing as the mouse movie would be a contemporary film with “Return to Oz”? Probably a reach but that’s where my pre coffee brain is going…

      bffman200 there is. We haven’t discussed the story for the Deadhorse project yet. Our previous series was called the Raven Locks. We did a number of Facebook Lives where we told the story. There’s a sub reddit where someone has posted the links to these videos. Following us on Facebook helps as well.
