    Obligatory sob story inbound:
    Like so many, the Kingdom reactions got me interested in this dude.
    Towards the conclusion of lockdowns, had just lost the job, and personal issues piled up exponentially.
    There was no money, no love, no hope, and no idea on what to do...
    I waited until wife and teenage daughters weren't home...I decided that my continued existence on earth was unnecessary. I was ready to go, i turned on RUclips very loud..."Kingdom " had just ended, i put blade to skin and began pressing...
    Out of seemingly f*cking nowhere...Almost Again started, i began to wipe the tears away (much like I'm doing now.).
    :Something," about this song mesmerized me...the blade remained in place...so, i restarted the song again, then a 3rd time...not only did i drop the weapon, but it seemingly fell off the face of the earth.
    I know this is just the blowing up process..I know Devin or his band will never read any of this...maybe my story can inspire someone else, about to make that same decision...
    Goddammit
    Thank you, Devin...this song most definitely saved a man's life...
    From the bottom of my repaired heart......
    Thank you, Devin.😢

      He has an incredibly unique voice. One part that is rarely brought up is that he has a lot of "improper" techniques, like holding thin or nasal vowels. It's very rare to see a combination of incredibly talented and professional with stuff that would make any vocal teacher slap you. Also, a nice touch is that his vibrato is pretty much always matched to the song's rhythm, usually in 8th note triplets. In this one specifically, his vibrato is faster than usual, 8th notes with a faster than his average bpm, or 16th notes if you base the tempo on his vocals.

But, it helped me. Devin love you, and this was an awesome moment to share with my family, he knows the name but doesn’t get into your music. When we watched your stream, he was amazed ,just keep on keeping on. 😂 you are an amazing person and very inspiring, I show ppl your music they not like it at first, but man they humming stuff after and I laugh at that.
