This was essentially the song that drew me into DGD, I'll never forget it. There are very few songs that I instantly fall in love with, and this was one of them, but I didn't yet know the entire new realm I was stepping into. At the time of discovering this band, I was feeling so much pain in my life from low self esteem, anxiety, and such, but this band's sound helped me get through it. DGD has such a whimsical melody of funk, groove, and soul that puts them in so many genres other than just post hardcore. The band's weird lyrics and fast paced sound gave me a musical "high" that would get me through downy days, and I indebted to them; they helped me keep my sanity intact, and helped me not care about the pains of life as much. Dance Gavin Dance is my favorite band, and I love every one of their songs. I know there is a stigma of post-hardcore with some people, but DGD transcends labels. Whenever I am sad and down I just turn on this song; bathing in nostalgia I can shout, "MAKING FRENCH FRIES IN THE SNOW" and be all better. Thanks guys!
J theJust please go onto the lost in vegas channel and request this song .I need some back up commenting on there videos for them to react to this song
My grandma's a multi faceted musician and I showed her this and she said it's unbelievable how far song writings gone. Went on to describe the hits of her time being made of only 4 chords..the only music she saw it comparable was jazz and she said the time changes are the craziest thing she's heard in a while.
I was 12 when my sister showed me this band. I’m 26 now. I would jam DGD in high school and even had a friend who played acoustic versions of them at lunch and we’d all sing. I miss those days dude!!
The drastic difference between Jonny and Jon is just everything and I love it. Jonny: Give it, give it, give it all, slow it down~ Jon: YOU'LL GO FAR ON THE BACK OF A POTATO
I just started listening to DGD at the end of last year, and since then, it's been an absolute treasure going back through their discography and history thus far. Thank you to everyone who brought them to where they are now, that bought tickets (possibly macbooks lmaoo), that lent a hand in any way but especially thank you to WILL'S MOM for giving birth to one the most badass guitarists of our fucking time!!! 🔥
@@beavass true but they sound similar. Like I've only until ng ow heard this song with Tillian but as soon as it started I kne it wasnt him like immediately, but it's still amazing none the less
This. A million fucking times this. 👍🏻 That's why I've always loved Jon Mess's lyrics. They mean something and mean nothing at the same time; it's subjective, like a Rorschach test.
You assume most lyrics have a single dimension because that's as far as your tiny noggin can comprehend. Even the most popular pop music has theme and rhythm. If you think these singers of counterculture dont draw inspiration from other music you silly af.
this song started it all. it came on pandora, i screenshot it, bought it, fell in love, and bought all their albums. This is my favorite band. I can't wait to see them live again
When I was a teenager I listened this song so many times.. Yet after 7 seven years I found an old tweet of mine in which I mentioned this song and immediately had to come back and listen it again. So many memories hail down on me now..
Nah you have to fuck with her. When she says things like that. You have to pretend to be angry slap your leg and say "Mom you're old! You just don't understand!" She'll be so confused. Then tell her you were joking.
I personally see it more prog-rock than anything mentioned. Prog rock transitions through many sounds without sounding awkward. I don't know many bands that could pull off that transition and sound completely flawless
Nah its what makes this it goes from lovely to hard to chaos and then almost funk. Showcasing all of their skills in one song. The whole song was blues like funk from the jump though. Super dope song. I would aspire to have such a lovely voice as this its unique.
This song was just at the right moment of my life. Life was moving so fast, falling apart but so knew and yet held together by my strength all at the same time. This song was the glue at that moment that helped me.
THIS is the best song of DGD. Its Got great vocals.. its got great screaming.. deep message.... its got a slow/fast tempo.. and the best transition in flow..
Still one of my all time favorites by these guys, they never get old! One of the few bands that can not only survive multiple member changes but actually capitalize on it.
Not sure where you hear Jazz. You could have picked almost any other genre and been more correct 😂 edit: a year later, I find a forgotten comment made out of ignorance and arrogance. I won’t delete this (for now) so the rest of the thread makes sense and to serve as a reminder to others that if you happen to be ignorant, best not be arrogant.
@@alexhalsell1991 tbh I have no idea what was going through my head when I wrote that. I’ve since educated myself.

I don’t even remember leaving this comment, and I’m definitely embarrassed by the arrogance.
@@AnEnemyAnemone1 It’s awesome to see that you have grown that much! We all mature as the years go by. That’s awesome by the way you seem like a respectable awesome dude!
You can hear the instrumentals now, so there goes that crowd of haters forever. It was well worth the near 4 year wait DGD. You guys created a masterpiece; I commend you all.
i always imagined that he has a video or picture of the girl and can only tell who it is because of the color of her eyes in the picture/vid lol. Presumably she's cheating on him
I remember first listening to this song like my senior year of high school? Lol years later, and my friends were all singing along to it because they grew up and loved it. I was nodding, and just vibing, and as the song just kept going I kept finding an additional aspect to the song that was so awesome. The main singer sounds so damn great and different than what I'm used to hearing. That guy just mentioned a potato? Then there's a funky part? Ends with the guy calling his girl asking for her eye color? I thought this song was just so damn great, and it's one of my personal moments in my life that I'll never forget. Loved the song, and what the group accomplished early on and even their material later on. Honestly kind of underrated but still what an amazing experience I had 9 years ago
Fucking great song, Jonny has never been more on point. And he totally sounds like he's tripping on something at the end during that phone call. The way he said, "fucking" was just too obvious lol
Smawg Vinnykay I disagree. I think by 2011 he got to the point where it did effect his singing. He was so hooked by that point and when you do lots of H it makes your throat dry and raspy so I consider this to be the low point of his career for sure.
On azlyrics, the lyrics for (Then you're right, somebody getting farther than getting to the better of the betting, alright?) is "Then you're right in sah dah getti fah da getti tah the betti tah righ [x2]" hahahahaha. I can't even
I don't mean this rudely but if they re released this song but completely edited out the screaming it would 100% top the fancy billboard charts and bring a lottt of notice that unfortunately this song deserves but never really got.
This will always be one of those songs that I could listen to for hours and hours straight, and I'd never get sick of it; belching "I don't know what id dooo-oh-oooo if I ever loooooossst youuohoh"
The first 5 seconds of this song always bring me back to 2012. When I was still a CSR. The silent part of the city where I always stroll every night, the boarding house where I used to rent, my gf who became my wife. The first 5 seconds melt me.
CAN I ASK FOR A FAVOR would you maybe listen to my friends bands new demo. It's called Escape-Vital Mentality it's on soundcloud they have like a dance gavin dance mellow vibe.. pls check it out 🤟🏼❤❤
Mannnn. I woke up this morning and I don’t know what made me think of this song. I haven’t heard this song in over 10 years. Makes me tear up thinking how simple life was in 2012. I was 19 working at the movie theater. I played the shit out of this song and i remember everyone hearing the screaming in my headphone like 😳 lol

Honestly I think DGD is one of the only bands that can have different vocalists and still be as equally kick-ass with both of them.

Confusing lyrics are the best because they can mean whatever you want them to mean which helps more people relate on different levels.

to be honest I don't even know
Possibly on of the best songs ever, I definitely love the switch of flow in the song. Pure genius man.
smoking blue dream to blue dream feels like you're swimming in the sound waves 💙
Savannah Rose the intro slides like gold butter to my ears when smokin' blue dream
my favorite strain.
Tim was at another level on this record. Such a great talent lost too soon. Rest in piece, man...
I always go to this to show people solid ass bass. The only one who could ever keep up with will
Wait he did the bass on this record? When did he join?
@@Hollowism He joined on happiness though i think Eric Lodge returned for the making of this album. So its not Tim playing rather its Eric.
It's Eric Lodge who's playing the bass in this album Tim rejoined during Acceptance Speech era

@@Destrie XD
The first time I heard it, I replayed it ten times. The clean vocals remind me of 90’s R&B.
Has been my jam for atleast 7 years man.
Aron same 🥺
i played this song in the car and my mom said it was weird cause it went from screaming to disco music 😂
Lmao. She's not hip enough to get it. xD
Shes not smokin that blue dream to understand jk
Should have told her that disco has come very far.
Nah you have to fuck with her. When she says things like that. You have to pretend to be angry slap your leg and say "Mom you're old! You just don't understand!" She'll be so confused. Then tell her you were joking.

Golden era when this album released 🔥
this song is helping me through a real tough time in my life
Same here, currently going through it
Smooth soulful voice juxtaposed against the sporadic screamo breaks makes for a unique blend.

How was it?
Soo how was it??
Been listening to Dance Gavin Dance for years now 😩
I can listen to them for days straight and not get tired of them, its amazing
Seriously dude. they're freaking amazing 💗
Steven Diaz
Jonny Craig tho. ❤️
Steven Diaz Honestly can't get enough of him, it's been years. Emarosa also 😩
Is and will always be the best DGD line up
I love every song that DGD has ever come out with. Doesn't matter who sang it, Jonny or Kurt! I will always be a fan of this band :)
One of my favorite songs, keeping it on repeat lately. Love to vibe to this song
why does nobody ever talk about how nice will's riffs are
Great question
Son Of Robot has one of my favorite riffs of all time.
Sounds like you're the one who wasn't talking about them.

Kid, you're proving my point.
I don't typically listen to dgd but this song is one of my favorites. the leads vocals towards the last half is amazing.
holy shit at 2:43 every time it goes into that transition I always think of this magic place there mysteriously going to.
me too
something's wrong with us
hehehe
yaaasssss omfg
Cesar Corhrea As
absolutely thats the best part of the song
Blue Dream weed is delicioussssssssss
one of the best strains out there for sure. As DGD is one of the best bands out there.

Just listened to tree city sessions two. Nothing will beat the original. This just has way more soul.
I agree 100%! 👏🏽

@@strawberryshortcake1258 I agree with you my fellow, they all have their own voices, and they’re all DGD

love how it goes from jon mess's pyschotic adrenaline rushing screaming to the calming rythmic beat of jonny craig's soul singing lol
My first dgd song. I'll never forget this.
something tillian can never compete with. he could never sound this mind blowing. jonny kills it
they'll literally never top this record, Jon knows it and I think it eats at him

isn't Jonny always tripping on something?
He has a problem
Smawg Vinnykay
No doubt about that. But he has scammed his own fans before into giving him money over the internet, that's pretty fucked.
