I don't understand how the hell Daniel Johns weaves those melodic lines and chords together. They seem like they shouldn't fit with each other in any logical way, but he makes them fit somehow. I don't know if he's just that much of a genius or if my ear is limited by being American. Our rock is deeply rooted in blues music, which has strict limitations. I'm assuming Australian rock isn't quite so tethered, and it's given Daniel the perfect paintbrush to create these elaborate melodies that get into my head and under my skin. Mind blown. And to think it's the same dude that wrote "Pure Massacre." Mind blown again.
I think it’s an antipodean thing (Wow, I hope that means Australia and New Zealand!). Neil Finn (Crowded House) has the same mercurial talent. They both use the waltz form. Worth checking out One All “Human Kindness” or Try whistling This “Sinner” and “Faster Than Light if you like this.
I came across this music years ago, and tripped balls to this song. Forgot about it for said years, and now that I've found the video ... still tripping balls.
All of Daniels work is different. Every project brings different sounds, imagery, and vocals. That’s how you know an artist is talented. If your work doesn’t show any diversity in your career, you failed in a way. If you don’t take any chances, or make mistakes, how can you grow? I admire his bravery despite the backlash. He found success so early in his career and still managed to grow and not just take the safe route.
this sounds like Eleven! I love silverchair and now I love the dissociatives too although it's a little late :) the whole album is just stunning, full of divine melodies
@TheNeonSquirrel “The name was Paul’s suggestion and it’s a name I really connected with. It means disconnecting the physical from the mental. That’s exactly how we feel about music and what we were trying to do with our music. It’s also the name given to a relatively new class of drugs that are named dissociatives, drugs like ketamine… What we’re trying to do with our music is create the kind of feelings in our listeners that’s close to the feeling you get on ketamine.”
Silverchair is my favorite band and Daniel Johns is my favorite Songwriter. I avoided this album for YEARS simply because I found the cover art off-putting. (I broke rule #1: Never judge a book by its cover). But I finally heard the album yesterday, and THIS SONG is now probably one of MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER. It almost feels like it's closely related to Tuna In The Brine, but also nothing like it at all. I can't believe I missed out on this...after all these years! I'm obsessed & have been listening on repeat all day!! 😭💖🔥💖💕🌟🌟🎶🎶 I feel so lucky to be on the same planet where artistic beauty like this exists! 💖🌟🌈
Two things 1. Is there an HD version of this? This is hard to look at. 2. I really really really wish they didn't cut out the outdo to the song. It's so good.
You're absolutely right. They are Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes from the Presets. It's funny that you mention it because I only just found out 3 days ago when someone commented on my Somewhere Down The Barrel video. Seriously freaky...
-This album is beatles + radiohead + a touch of Trent Reznor's genius -Check out Silverchair Young Modern for beatles + Bowie + Pink floyd. Just brilliant, but takes some getting used to. -last, search for "my mind's melody"...a movie with music by Daniel Johns
@cottoncase i read somewhere that her and the other unknown guy on the little rollercoaster won a contest; the prize being an appearance in a dissociatives music video.. i cant remember where i read it though
i think the line is completely literal. he's the kind of guy who would work that into a song. with silverchair on hiatus he probably just sat around, tending to his pets. just a thought.
Speaking of the people who are not in the band but in the video....wasn't there some sort of contest to be in a Disso video around this time. It just makes sense that those people were contest winners.....
I knew it as soon as i saw em, ow they have like all morfed into one band and joined on to silverchair cause both paul mac and Julian helped with young mordern heheh thats cool. Aussies best working together.
It sounds like he's singing about 'inner demons' "All of this time on my hands so far has gone to feeding my animals" I think he's... feeding his inner demons. The mental hospital beds "all of the time I was dead, limpless(?) in bed, sedated experiments" So yeah, I'd assume it's about inner demons.
na the girl in the cart isnt natalie, the three in that back cart won a competition or something on the radio to be in a dissociatives clip also, the character with the huge fringe is the singer of the presets
It's about lying around drinking cough syrup. The reference to being a vegetable, am I dead, buried alive, etc... are examples of the effects of dissociative drugs on the mind. He is talking about ROBOTRIPPING! Ha, I always knew he did that.
I don't know, Daniel seems to be a bit deeper than that to me Animal rights just doesn't seem too 'song worthy' especially since if you listen the other lyrics of this song... they don't seem too animal related. I highly doubt he'd say "feeding my animals" with the intention of actually feeding animals. Like I said, he's deeper than that I'd like to believe. He wants you to find the meaning, so the fact he flat out says that line makes me believe there's more to it, you know?
it was a JOKE lol since everyone thinks he's high out of his mind all the time I do drugs myself. and I wrote that 8 months ago since then I've cahnged my mind about this band and I like more than half the cd now theres still a cpl tracks I dont like however but its all good
just because this is ORIGINAL and ARTISTIC doesnt mean is GOOD ... I never thought Id say this but Daniel Johns needs to lay off the drugs... But this band does sound better than new Silverchair (for what its worth lol)
UGH! Silverchair's "young modern" - CRAP This - double CRAPPOLA Jeez, it seems like Daniel went from not eating food for years to eating a shit-ton of acid & shrooms!! ~vomits~
call me a moron all you want I dont care I still like Silverchair alot better than this band... Is my opinion thats all... Daniels voice is still incredible beautiful and amazing in this band but... I dont like the MUSIC that accompanies his voice in tihs band.
@cottoncase I think I recall hearing or reading that it was Natalie Imbruglia. This was when they were married....I believe. Or at least when they were dating.
@cottoncase I thought I read somewhere that it was Natalie Imbruglia. But I can't be certain.. I'm pretty sure it was though. They were still married when this was made, and it kind of looks like her.

The progressions and melodies on this album are just outstanding. Never get sick of it.

Musical genius?
This generations Beethoven
Perfectly describes how it feels to suffer with a chronic illness. Depression can hurt worse. Will always 💟 Daniel Johns
I came across this music years ago, and tripped balls to this song. Forgot about it for said years, and now that I've found the video ... still tripping balls.
this happens to me every few months haha
Same. Discovered it in the middle of a deep ketamine dxm binge.

I know it might seem strange to make this comparison but Chester Bennington from Linkin Park tried to do the same thing and the fans tore him apart.
@@edmanr2010 oh yeah definitely. I can see the similarities.
“Dude, I just saw the weirdest music video ever made!”
I’ll see your weirdest music video ever made and raise you a Horror With Eyeballs.
Fine Slime by White Denim is close 😂👍
this video and song are just too amazing for words. perfectly captures that mood between being awake and asleep.
Dissociative trip.. After seeing "Am I dead? Buried? Alive?" I had no doubt, it was highly related to tripping on dissociatives ;)
Erm, Natalie that is, heh. Probably my favorite Dissociatives song, and an excellently trippy video. I love you Daniel and Paul, you guys rock!
I often, too, feel root vegetable 🥔
this sounds like Eleven! I love silverchair and now I love the dissociatives too although it's a little late :) the whole album is just stunning, full of divine melodies
This shit is fucking art. Literal beauty and perfection
NEED NEW DISSOCIATIVES
Eyeballs, Eyeballs... Everywhere Eyeballs!! ahhhhhhh... ha ha! Kicken vid, good work!
really goooood song writing.
haha it's awsome, daniel freaking amazes me all the time.

I bet you definitely feel root vegetable for putting it off so long 🥔
this needs way more views
é daniel cantando eu ja amo sem nem olhar ... essa musica e fantastica.
Two things
1. Is there an HD version of this? This is hard to look at.
2. I really really really wish they didn't cut out the outdo to the song. It's so good.
Whatever it is they're on...I want some. This song is awesome. "I feel root vegetable. Am I dead or buried alive?"
Wow, I wish we had a hd version of this
You're absolutely right. They are Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes from the Presets. It's funny that you mention it because I only just found out 3 days ago when someone commented on my Somewhere Down The Barrel video. Seriously freaky...
Great song, Nice vídeo! 👍👍👍
Awesome, great stuff.
-This album is beatles + radiohead + a touch of Trent Reznor's genius
-Check out Silverchair Young Modern for beatles + Bowie + Pink floyd. Just brilliant, but takes some getting used to.
-last, search for "my mind's melody"...a movie with music by Daniel Johns
máster class music
Just legend!
so how did this typical grungy dude get so abstract and eloquent?
because he is a visionary!
A year of chronically debilitating disease that nearly kills you at the height of a meteoric career, will do that to ya.
That's what this whole album is about. He was literally feeding his animals to stay sane and positive.
He got older.
Remember how young he was when Silverchair started.
He did dissociatives
love so much
thanks
I like how the "roller coaster" is made up of hospital beds.
excellent , musique et vidéo superbe
The nananana, reminds me some songs of Kate Bush... They're wonderful, very magical.
Fantástico
My dream is to see these clips in 4K
It's great.
linda melodia🎵🎶🎹
They need to play in Mexico with Tame Impala
Wow really? That's my favorite Silverchair song & I haven't noticed that at all. Which part?
@cottoncase i read somewhere that her and the other unknown guy on the little rollercoaster won a contest; the prize being an appearance in a dissociatives music video.. i cant remember where i read it though
With videos like this, who needs drugs?
Its still nice while on drugs though
It especially goes well with dissociatives... particularly dxm
hell yeah so rad
fantastic
Yeah, it is. I wasn't listening to it when I typed that... then I heard it after I listened to it...
I just didn't feel like spamming more... =x
I dunno, but it sure looks like she's enjoying the ride :-P
Genius
Hey tippy film clip, I am just wondering you know the musicans in the film clip are two of them the Presests? cause they look a whole lot like em.
Bring Silverchair back!
@kickerzin Lyrics have been added. Enjoy.
Watching this while high on a dissociative is weird as fuck, but very enjoyable lol
I love anesthetics
i think the line is completely literal. he's the kind of guy who would work that into a song. with silverchair on hiatus he probably just sat around, tending to his pets. just a thought.
does anyone hear any "Mr. Bungle" in there?
I got it, it reminds me also oasis, in something.
Speaking of the people who are not in the band but in the video....wasn't there some sort of contest to be in a Disso video around this time. It just makes sense that those people were contest winners.....
Interesting
It's still on youtube. Astralwerks has it in his profile.
Type: "Astralwerks Somewhere" into the search bar.
pow ficou massa esse video diferente mas muito bom
Hahahah, true that, my friend :-D
Ótima muisca
I knew it as soon as i saw em, ow they have like all morfed into one band and joined on to silverchair cause both paul mac and Julian helped with young mordern heheh thats cool. Aussies best working together.
well it is her.
Eat your heart out,Mgmt!!!
No comparison to mgmt
Not related at all
I have no idea what the lyrics mean, but this song is very catchy!
It sounds like he's singing about 'inner demons'
"All of this time on my hands so far has gone to feeding my animals"
I think he's... feeding his inner demons.
The mental hospital beds "all of the time I was dead, limpless(?) in bed, sedated experiments"
So yeah, I'd assume it's about inner demons.
na the girl in the cart isnt natalie, the three in that back cart won a competition or something on the radio to be in a dissociatives clip
also, the character with the huge fringe is the singer of the presets
240p? where are we? Narnia?
wWOW this video is tripping XD
It's about lying around drinking cough syrup. The reference to being a vegetable, am I dead, buried alive, etc... are examples of the effects of dissociative drugs on the mind. He is talking about ROBOTRIPPING! Ha, I always knew he did that.
Who is the lady with black hair?
Well I'd be enjoying it too if it was with them!
can you add the lyrics to the description?
This, my friend... is one mind-fuck of a song :-)
who else would it be? the rest are all band members....
Best era, just after Diorama. Jeezus.
I don't know, Daniel seems to be a bit deeper than that to me
Animal rights just doesn't seem too 'song worthy' especially since if you listen the other lyrics of this song... they don't seem too animal related.
I highly doubt he'd say "feeding my animals" with the intention of actually feeding animals.
Like I said, he's deeper than that I'd like to believe. He wants you to find the meaning, so the fact he flat out says that line makes me believe there's more to it, you know?
1:00 music reminds me of Age of Empires
jumpy tune =?
Certainly resembles her
Parts of this song are very similar to Tuna in the Brine. I guess it's hard to write hundreds of songs and not have some of them sound the same.
Hey I wanna be your friend....
I think it´sonds a little bit like cristmas =D
But it´s a cool sound :)
it was a JOKE lol since everyone thinks he's high out of his mind all the time I do drugs myself. and I wrote that 8 months ago since then I've cahnged my mind about this band and I like more than half the cd now theres still a cpl tracks I dont like however but its all good
I think they vanished then
really?
it doesnt look like her at all but
well i guess kinda with the black hair
how do you know that?
who needs drugs !
just because this is ORIGINAL and ARTISTIC doesnt mean is GOOD ... I never thought Id say this but Daniel Johns needs to lay off the drugs... But this band does sound better than new Silverchair (for what its worth lol)
These lyrics still make no sense after all these years
Daniel has talked about how he pretty much wrote the Dissociatives lyrics stream of consciousness. So they can't be expected to make sense at all. :D
forget about all the troubled times
could also have something to do with his pro-animal rights stuff, him being a vegan and everything.
UGH!
Silverchair's "young modern" - CRAP
This - double CRAPPOLA
Jeez, it seems like Daniel went from not eating food for years to eating a shit-ton of acid & shrooms!!
~vomits~
ehh i duno
im not saying its not her but it certainly doesnt look like her
call me a moron all you want I dont care I still like Silverchair alot better than this band... Is my opinion thats all... Daniels voice is still incredible beautiful and amazing in this band but... I dont like the MUSIC that accompanies his voice in tihs band.
I definitely agree.
@cottoncase I think I recall hearing or reading that it was Natalie Imbruglia. This was when they were married....I believe. Or at least when they were dating.
@66sssss Amazing.
@cottoncase I thought I read somewhere that it was Natalie Imbruglia. But I can't be certain..
I'm pretty sure it was though. They were still married when this was made, and it kind of looks like her.
