    i'm coming back every other year only to realize again that this is one of the best things ever on youtube.
  • @stickman_band
    Not enough love for Ché Aimee Dorval in the comments here! Her voice blows me away, every time I hear her sing! The two of them together is why music is the real magic. Two special people here!!
  • Devin Townsend Logic: "So while I was writing an inhumanly complicated album called Deconstruction I would be so mentally exhausted by the time I got home, that I'd spend the evenings writing one of the most ridiculously beautiful (double)Albums any human ever has or ever will.."
  • @Gibson343088
    I never realized they wrote and recorded the album seperately. That explains so much, I mean that feeling of lonliess and distance IS the album. That's beautiful, and one of those things about music that's just pure magic.
  • @johnadkins5918
    Twenty minutes ago I was watching a Bill Bailey comedy sketch and in the comments I saw a mention of the name Devin Townsend, my life will never be the same.
  • I'm just falling down the devy rabbit hole now. God I love his comments section, so much positivity. The Internet is rarely a repository for happiness, but I always find it here ❤️
  • @thomaskinsey3424
    Watching their feet keeping time is fun, shes on the 1s and 3s and hes on the 2s and 4s, so interesting how people internalize rhythms differently
  • That moment when a Prog Metal guy writes a better Country album than anything that's come out of Nashville in over 50 years.
  • @tonynecas4825
    What a fantastic duo. Absolutely delightful music.
  • @FrancisGrant1
    How am I only finding out about this now?!? WHY ISN'T THIS MORE POPULAR???
  • @LSfan22
    This version of "Bones" is the most devastatingly beautiful thing I think I've ever heard
  • @ArisAlamanos
    Mind completely blown - thank you Steve Vai for giving this man a chance to take over the music world.
  • @brnperes
    Listening to stuff like this makes me realize how much I love music.
  • @TFOLLT
    This is what heaven must sound like. Such great meditative relaxing music, I'm at a loss for words.
  • @judygarland7611
    JUST DISCOVERING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER SEEING SOME OF HER STUFF ON HER CHANNEL OR OTHER. MAY I SAY, THIS GIRL IS OFF THE CHAIN MAN. SHE PARTNERED UP WITH THE RIGHT DUDE, AND THIS MUSIC IS SO SUPERB. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS MUSIC AND CREATING THIS VIBE. I FEEL IT IN MY HEART AND SOUL. FROM NYC BROOKLYN, THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY OLD HEART.
  • @miked4382
    It's repulsive that this has a little under 200,000 views. Devin and Che are an immaculate force to be reckoned with.
  • @TheDamnBeast
    "Bones" made my brain explode. Ché looks ridiculously beautiful.
  • @squashedmike
    Why does this music make me cry?!?! It's just so beautiful!!
