I'll forever love this song. Both versions. So magical, and I would love to see the original singer with this one together live. Honestly the two of them would create the most incredible vocal duo for this band. Both incredible.
Here I wander aimlessly Divided like a restless sea I remember Messengers Sifting through the boiling sand Looking for a shaken hand Wading through the mire But never find what they desire Hear my voice... calling A butterfly caught Invisible wall Keep away from light I'm speechless I'm fearless I keep myself from running low on air I'm a passenger I'm just passing by Walk with me I'm a passenger I'm not supposed to be here Roads in one direction All lead to where I'll be Here I wonder endlessly A story told uneasily I remember messengers Smell the scent of every season How dark they might be This ol' monster has its reasons I am finally free Stay with me... now See what you have done, creator There's no great escape Still hunger - I'm forsaken I turn to the messengers
This sent a shiver down my spine, it could not have been done more sublimely and beautifully. I would love to hear more acoustic covers, this band are a mature, intelligent, wise, soulful group of men.
I listen to you guys on the daily! I wish I had known back in the day to listen on RUclips vs buy CD's-TEXTURES should come see me and let me hear you all live!
Gran versión .. felicitaciones lamentablemente la era de Textures llegara a su fin...pero su música seguirá por mucho tiempo mas. Éxito a cada uno de ustedes en sus carreras gracias por la música entregada. Saludos desde Chile...... Great version. Congratulations unfortunately the age of textures will come to an end ... but your music will continue for a long time. Success to each one of you in your careers thank you for the music delivered. Greetings from Chile.
I love this, I love all the new members, but I can't help but feel it bittersweet that it's not Eric who's doing the vocals, just because his messengers is one of my favourite vocal performances, ever perhaps even. Nevertheless Daniel is fantastic as well!
Honestly, other than the screams they sound pretty similar. Both of their cleans just sound so much different because of one being acoustic, the cleans sound like the same person almost.

Thank soul, this song is really wonderful, the ability to deliver such a subtle and so podersos issue to get a taste for the unimaginable of mind is something worth to live greatly. I'm a fan of Santiago de Chile. Hopefully someday I hope to see them all I value friends, thank you very much, here I have known at least 50 people who love them. A warm hug Jaime Reyes P.
Wow. Blown away, incredible acoustic version of my favorite Textures song. An entire acoustic album of Silhouettes or Dualism would be mind-bogginigly awesome. The piano was beautiful and his voice is something else. Can't wait for the new album, whenever it comes!
Holy crap, I hope this means there are a whole bunch of acoustic versions coming. I'd love to hear tracks like "Awake" and "Stoic Resignation" arranged like this. Completely enamored right now.
Another Fabulous Band! very Melodic and heavy (usually... this an exception). Melody is Much needed BACK into Metal. especially Vocals that can sing a range of styles. Very Jazz influenced I believe. Nice Work Acoustically!!!
This is probably my 100th time listening to this... It's just so good. I would love more acoustic sessions like this. I'm sure we all would. Do it Textures
Finally a face to that awesome voice my only regret is that I didn't discover this awesome band sooner I was fortunate to catch the final gig awhile ago but have enjoyed Textures ever since F**king astounding work of musical marvel!
Even though I listen to a lot of different genres and great artists, Messengers is definitely the most relieving Song of all time for me! A true masterpiece in composition, songwriting (lyrics) and also sound (talking about the studio version)
Amazing, love this song. I've cranked this and screamed it out loud in my car for years. It's refreshing to hear Daniel De Jongh do this. Thanks so much!
What a touching masterpiece! I always loved Messengers. Especially the synth work in this song was so atmospheric and wonderful...man, I'm lost for words for this song. Very, very great work! Great video, editing, cutting, just everything. Simply perfect!
This is absolutely magical!
+Daniel Tompkins I enjoy listening to you sing as much as this Daniel too!
+Daniel Tompkins Daniels rock. Cheers!
DAMN, DANIELS!
gosh!
EVEN DAN COMMENTS HERE!!! OMG
come back, Textures ! come back, Textures ! come back, Textures !
please...come back.
I would never not mourn their departure 😢 my favorite band since 2008
in the end....they will☺️
And they are back!
They got back like 2 weeks ago or something
I'll forever love this song. Both versions. So magical, and I would love to see the original singer with this one together live. Honestly the two of them would create the most incredible vocal duo for this band. Both incredible.
This accoustic but also the plugged album one : a musical masterpiece. .. come back, Textures !
Here I wander aimlessly
Divided like a restless sea
I remember
Messengers
Sifting through the boiling sand
Looking for a shaken hand
Wading through the mire
But never find what they desire
Hear my voice... calling
A butterfly caught
Invisible wall
Keep away from light
I'm speechless
I'm fearless
I keep myself from running low on air
I'm a passenger
I'm just passing by
Walk with me
I'm a passenger
I'm not supposed to be here
Roads in one direction
All lead to where I'll be
Here I wonder endlessly
A story told uneasily
I remember messengers
Smell the scent of every season
How dark they might be
This ol' monster has its reasons
I am finally free
Stay with me... now
See what you have done, creator
There's no great escape
Still hunger - I'm forsaken
I turn to the messengers
goosebumps every time
Beautiful Lyle Mays/Vince DiCola-esque piano playing.
Please at some point in your incredible career, release an acoustic album. This is just unreal!
Agree! That would be great!
This comment did not age well. :(
So sad to see this comment 😭
any day now guys
This sent a shiver down my spine, it could not have been done more sublimely and beautifully. I would love to hear more acoustic covers, this band are a mature, intelligent, wise, soulful group of men.
I'm still loving this video. Messengers is my favorite song. Both singers are perfect on this song. Past and present.
This version gives me chills! It'd be sweet to see Textures tour on Silhouettes with Daniel
Just thinking that I'll never get the chance to see you guys playing live, it breaks my heart so much 💔
I listen to you guys on the daily! I wish I had known back in the day to listen on RUclips vs buy CD's-TEXTURES should come see me and let me hear you all live!
I listen to them on a lady

MARVELOUSLY PERFECT!!! Please, do Acoustic versions to Circular, Awake, Reaching Home and Stoic Resignation! Greetings from Brazil!!
I love this, I love all the new members, but I can't help but feel it bittersweet that it's not Eric who's doing the vocals, just because his messengers is one of my favourite vocal performances, ever perhaps even.
Nevertheless Daniel is fantastic as well!
Agreed. Love his vocals on it. So perfect. I can hit repeat on that song.
I also agree with this comment but still Eric is the man.
Honestly, other than the screams they sound pretty similar. Both of their cleans just sound so much different because of one being acoustic, the cleans sound like the same person almost.
AWAKE!! DO AWAKE!!!
so and now EVERYONE can hear how talented textures is .
Manly. Tears.... Have been shed
Here I wander aimlessly
Divided like a restless sea

There's no great escape
Still hunger - I'm forsaken
I turn to the messengers
World class!

The singer is amazing!!
Great song 🎵 😊
this acoustic version of messengers was very amazing! it's incredible the voice of Daniël de Jongh is very similar to the voice of Eric Kalsbeek!
Wow. Blown away, incredible acoustic version of my favorite Textures song. An entire acoustic album of Silhouettes or Dualism would be mind-bogginigly awesome. The piano was beautiful and his voice is something else. Can't wait for the new album, whenever it comes!
Consonant Hemispheres pleaseeeeee
the depth of this is phenomenal
I always loved the energy in this song
Holy crap, I hope this means there are a whole bunch of acoustic versions coming. I'd love to hear tracks like "Awake" and "Stoic Resignation" arranged like this. Completely enamored right now.

Nice Work Acoustically!!!

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
Seriously impressed. Great performance. A great song transcends styles and genres.
This is probably my 100th time listening to this... It's just so good. I would love more acoustic sessions like this. I'm sure we all would. Do it Textures
