I don't know why but the "Te-Te-Telephone rings" is one of my most favorite vocal lines I have ever heard even though it is so simple it just fits perfectly with the song while also being really unexpected.
I really like that line because it embeds the sort of anxiety he has about picking up that call where she tells him that they should let their lives divide.
As a musician (which doesn't really mean very much) the line is pretty simple, yeah. But if I were to put myself into the shoes of Donovan coming up with these lyrics and the melodies and rhythms they exist in, I can't say I'd have came up with something so fucking perfectly fitting, fun to sing along with, and in my opinion just simplistically kind of gaddayum genius.
fantastic, as always. Blue Swan Records for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Swancore' is the best thing to happen to music, ever, period. BLOODY PERIOD!!
yangusis Swancore is a term used to describe the brand of progressive post-hardcore that Will Swan helps foster. Hail the Sun, Stolas, Adventurer, Sianvar, A Lot Like Birds, Eidola, and ofcourse Dance Gavin Dance are all a big intertwined musical family, with several of them being on Swan's record label, Blue Swan.
1missing you forgot I the Mighty! They arent on the record label, but they are good friends with Will and the guys in Sianvar, Stolas, DGD, and Hail The Sun!
definitely sad to say that they left Blue Swan Records for Equal Vision Records. I could definitely see them leaving Equal Vision for Rise Records later in their career if they do what Dance Gavin Dance did.
Every time that you leave my house, I fear that your truck flips or crashes I’m always assuming the worst It’s not healthy to be so fucking anxious and desperate My train of thought always derails All is calm at the moment Nothing’s wrong as of now, but my heart drops when the te- te- telephone rings “I’m not sure you’re the one.” Do you think that it’s time to let our lives divide? I’ll reflect where we met, back at the restaurant where we worked Remember our booth in the back room? Things were much simpler then Post college daydreams on Ivy Learning your curves in the bed All is calm at the moment Nothing’s wrong as of now but my heart drops when the te- te- telephone rings, “I’m not sure you’re the one.” If you think that it’s time then let our lives divide.
Dont compare to Circa or Green. These guys are on a whole another level of Musical Genius. All there Albums have Evolved their music but seem to keep that intense Lullaby ear candy ❤️ check out his other band Sianavar 👌 just as amazing
Even though I've seen them live once quite awhile back, I never realised Donovan's live vocals were so fucking incredible. I have yet to listen to their entire discography, so reply with any other calmer/emotional as fuck songs like this one please lol. If there even are any.
So, this one Relax/Divide; Made Your Mark; Never Kill a Mouse, Let it Kill Itself; Jane Doe; Words of Gratitude(Parents); the 'Fun' in Dysfunction. I know you posted this 3y ago now, so I'm a bit late(and you might have already done a deep dive on their discog by now), but these are my favorite of their more 'indie' kind of songs. Also, worth mentioning, Donovan's solo album Chelsea Park After Dark (or sumn like that) is definitely more of the slow, indie vibes
Everyone saying there's a difference between being inspired by circa and copying them, have it backwards. This is a straight copy of circa and AG. The intro, the melody, the "te te telephone", and most easily recognized, "so fucking anxious" is an EXACT copy of Meet Me in Montauks "so fucking boring." I love these guys, but it's hard to not see such a huge resemblance to circa songs. If you disagree, you're in denial.
Sounds like you have your head way too far up Anthony Green's butthole if you can't tell a huge fucking difference between this and anything Anthony Green has ever made.
Howling Owl "HE SAID THE WORDS 'SO FUCKING' FOLLOWED BY AN ADJECTIVE IN AN ACOUSTIC SONG HE MUST BE COPYING ANTHONY GREEN EVEN THOUGH IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MELODY!"
Jonjey2112 Sounds like you have your head way too far up HTS's butthole :/ A week later, I didn't even acknowledge you, and you had to comment again. Sigh... I'll continue to not acknowledge your denial henceforth. latah.
Howling Owl Yeah I watched the video again and saw your comment again and felt like it needed further logical dismemberment. I've been a fan of Anthony Green's since before he left Saosin. I've listened to Meet Me in Montauk a billion fucking times, and I've listened to this song a lot, and never once did I think that the use of "So fucking 'adjective'" was in any way a rip off of anything that Anthony Green has ever done. Donovan's voice is similar in tonal quality to Anthony's voice, that is where the similarities end. Hail The Sun's musical compositions are completely different, their lyrics and delivery of those lyrics are completely different, and while I'm sure Anthony Green has been an influence on Donovan I can guarantee there are plenty of other influences on this band. I'm so sick of it, on every single fucking Tides of Man, ALLB, Hail The Sun, Stolas, and Sianvar video there are nothing but "omg it's like Circa Survive and Emarosa had a baby that fucked Emery's long lost cousin, had a baby and then spliced it's dna with DGD's bastard son while jerking off to Coheed and Cambria's second album!" comments and they realllyyyyy get fucking old considering none of these bands rip each other off and they are are completely distinct sonically to any of the other bands named. Like saying Alice in Chains and Nirvana are the same fucking thing. Just fucking retarded, and it takes credit away from the musicians.
Howling Owl Can you provide some examples where hts copied "The intro, the melody, the te te telephone"? I listened to "Meet Me in Montauks" and there was no melodic similarity in those two phrases you compared. Also Circa Survive doesn't own the copyright to "so fucking _". If they did that would be so fucking stupid. If you disagree, you're in denial.
Don't watch this drunk you'll cry
lol
Alex McCullough he's not lying though.
Too late 😭
remove the 'drunk' word on your comment.
Dude, this song’s so beautifully sad, I gotta avoid it except for when I’m actually feeling it. Too bad, it’s so lovely..
I don't know why but the "Te-Te-Telephone rings" is one of my most favorite vocal lines I have ever heard even though it is so simple it just fits perfectly with the song while also being really unexpected.

Nah "fucking" was more unexpected for a really calm song
John Schultz me too... Keeps me at peace
@@KLBoringBand alright I'm definitely crying after that comment. In the most non-sarcastic way, thank you lol.
As a musician (which doesn't really mean very much) the line is pretty simple, yeah. But if I were to put myself into the shoes of Donovan coming up with these lyrics and the melodies and rhythms they exist in, I can't say I'd have came up with something so fucking perfectly fitting, fun to sing along with, and in my opinion just simplistically kind of gaddayum genius.
The awesome moment when a band sounds like they do on record
You should hear them live. Amazing.
Acoustic full length album, please.
RickyMOSH Impossible. Those Acoustics wouldn't be able to handle it.
fantastic, as always. Blue Swan Records for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Swancore' is the best thing to happen to music, ever, period. BLOODY PERIOD!!
Swancore? This is progressive post hardcore lol.

swancore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After five years, till this day it’s the best live version so far. The vocals are amazing.
Damn dude serious feels this song hits home...
Every time that you leave my house, I fear that your truck flips or crashes
I’m always assuming the worst
It’s not healthy to be so fucking anxious and desperate
My train of thought always derails
All is calm at the moment
Nothing’s wrong as of now, but my heart drops when the te- te- telephone rings
“I’m not sure you’re the one.”
Do you think that it’s time to let our lives divide?
I’ll reflect where we met, back at the restaurant where we worked
Remember our booth in the back room?
Things were much simpler then
Post college daydreams on Ivy
Learning your curves in the bed
All is calm at the moment
Nothing’s wrong as of now but my heart drops when the te- te- telephone rings,
“I’m not sure you’re the one.”
If you think that it’s time then let our lives divide.
This is the most beautiful thing in the history of things.
except double stuffed Oreos you can't beat that
oooh you might just be right.
Wait. Could you imagine listening to this WHILE EATING DOUBLE STUFFED OREOS!?
Where are you guys hiding Anthony Green? but seriously, this is amazing
+Jonathon Simmons my exact thoughts tbh
I heard this band for the first time and thought, holy fuck he's in ANOTHER band
Jonathon Simmons he is a better version of Anthony
auhuahuhaeuhauhahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahah
Same thoughts. lol
you know the feeling when you need a song injected into your fucking bloodstream? damnit! this is it
His voice is heavenly
I'd really, really like to see this on Spotify as many of acoustic versions of songs I like. Sad to know that it will not happen
Hits deep. I love this song already. I love it even more acoustic. Simply beautiful 🙌🙌
Definitely sounds like a young Anthony Green. I'm pretty jealous.
Dont compare to Circa or Green. These guys are on a whole another level of Musical Genius. All there Albums have Evolved their music but seem to keep that intense Lullaby ear candy ❤️ check out his other band Sianavar 👌 just as amazing
And now Nova Charisma. Donovan is my favorite musician of all time, constant bangers
I didn’t know he was in Sianvar
Holy macaroni they sound amazing!
Damn, this is an unreal live version.
Saw them live, I came.
Same I saw them on Thursday with a friend of mine in vegas
schlimp laron *went
Relax and repeat
This song is just perfect
So nice
so much passion..
Love it so much.
Even though I've seen them live once quite awhile back, I never realised Donovan's live vocals were so fucking incredible. I have yet to listen to their entire discography, so reply with any other calmer/emotional as fuck songs like this one please lol. If there even are any.

Amazing glad I discovered and witness your live performance at NSN thanks for signing my CD please comeback to south Texas
Dead messages acoustic please
Omg... I love you guys to death. Tears of joy no lie.
la chimba su voz es la misma que de estudio.
this song makes me melttt
Those live vox got wayyyyyyy better holy moly
GORGEOUS
How does homeboy sound like Anthony more than Anthony? Hahahah. Solid vocals.
Who the fuck would dislike this.
hes gotten much better at singing since the last live videos ive seen
It's cool seeing a band play seagulls and breedloves. Oh and it's cool seeing bands have fuckin awesome music.
Yaaaas
Oi
This song makes me very sad
Seagull S6 oh yeah.
Tabs Please?
Id really like some tabs. I want to sing this to someone, and the tab on ultimate guitar feels off..
Dude I gotchu
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/hail-the-sun/relax-divide-tabs-3176933
I tabbed the way that I play it. Lemme know what you think
"tears"
Anthony Green... Is that you?!
CHORDS PLZ
I feel like this was the first take
Sounds like Anthony Green to me. Lol reading comments about progressive post hardcore makes me laugh.
love mee
chords plz lol
This sounds a lot like Saosin and DGD.
+Evan Giammona if you like them, you'll probs like Circa Survive too since Anthony Green has this kind of voice also
Old Saosin fuck with Fiore and Dance Gavin Dance.
They could have added a bit more reverb lol.
Im not sure you're the one
anthony green anyone?
i came
We listened to his vocals for the high notes... wHAT ARE YOU worth if you can't hit it live?
Sadly, he a joke.
I think the vocals are pretty solid
I'm not sure you're the one...
He sings close to the register of anthony but he does not sound like him much. Let that Anthony green thing go
he's flat in many parts of the song probably why the downvotes
So no autotune and he still hits all the high notes. Epic.

I love this song, but I’d rather him sing in a lower octave for acoustic sesh, sounds too empty and nassely imho.
