Dan Deacon - Become a Mountain (Official Video) 

If anyone is afraid of dying, here's a beautiful quote from Dan... "i'm sorry you have such a strong reaction to those fears. i have no real advice other than to remember and take relief in knowing that there was a time before you were alive and there will be a time after you are alive. the time we are alive shouldn't be held in any greater tier. we only live in this particular stretched out instant that lasts as long as we can be conscious within it. for the living, death can only be whatever you think it to be, for it is not ours. if you think life is a preparing for some post-death reality, then live your life whatever way you feel prepares you for post-living. but, do you feel like your current, living self was shaped and framed by a pre-birth consciousness? i like to place pre-birth to life and and life to death/post-life in the same context. was i once just as scared about being alive as i have been about dying?"

I fucking love how the piano explodes into a beautiful multiverse of colors love you Dan Deacon

The man's just so happy to be alive

This guy is really fucking cool. I once went to a festival concert of his and at the same time a much bigger artist was playing at the main stage and because of that there weren't that many people at Dan's concert, maybe like 75-100. The concert felt as if we were all part of one family for some reason. Afterwards he just walked straight up into the audience, started talking with us, answering questions, making photos for like half an hour. This guy is the real deal.

This song feels like it's from both the 1700's and the 3000's

Dan is about to kill my ego.

Im offended that youtube waited 4 days to recommend me this when it knows damn well that im a dan deacon addict

I remember a time during a major low in my life, secure in my isolation and music, saw DD was touring through my area, I managed to get a friend to come with me. His live show uplifted me to level that I felt connected and safe with everyone dancing. As Dan does, he clears a circle in the crowd for a person to dance while everyone imitates their moves. It was the kind of healing I needed at that moment. I remember exactly how i felt afterward plus a bonus HIGH that lasted days

Dan, I hope you see this. Your music has changed my life. Given me hope. Made me cry for reasons of beauty and magic. Keep going. We love you. What you do is medicine and the world needs so much more!!!

Dan Deacon just gets better and better. I don’t know if we deserve him. I wish we did.

He is really one of the only artists that I know of who is dedicated to the well-being of his listeners. Both his music and shows make you really think about the present, and how each moment can be an opportunity to better your own life.

I very nearly cried in a noodle restaurant when this came on. Completely unexpected emotional reaction prompted by this incredible song. Euphoric and melancholy at once

this year has been one of the hardest of my life so far and i really appreciate the affect this whole album has had on my anxiety + mental health honestly. dan's music has basically carried me thru 2020... i remember the day mystic familiar came out i was having a tough time but i listened to it on the way home from school and i was dancing at the bus stop and stuff :) whenever i feel too stressed out or i need to calm down i listen to this all the way through and do a watercolour painting and drink some chamomile tea and take an edible or something. and it's so good. this is my favourite album to come out this year i wish i could tell dan how much it's meant to me

ready to cry at his show

The perfect song for a person that feels like their soul has broken the fourth wall of their own existence and has to persevere through the nihilism.

This should actually have 70 brillion views. It's pretty much my roommate at this point.

This song makes me cry of joy every time!

Now this is music you can feel. Nothing short of absolutely amazing.

Wow! hits home in good and bad ways, which really are all good ways. Deacon knows how to dig deep

Can’t believe I only first heard this song today. Yet sometimes music has its way of finding you when you are meant to hear it. Been really depressed lately and this song was like a musical hug. ❤️

This song changed my life.

Hustle brought me here!!

Thank you for the movie Hustle implementing this song into my life. This is remarkable.

one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a while, never been a dan deacon fan but these new singles really caught me off guard. Cant wait for the album to drop

Hustle 😊

~OK DAN..I'LL BECOME A MOUNTAIN.. I CAME DOWN OFF THE MOUNTAIN AND I'VE BEEN OCEAN SIZE EVER SINCE THE LATE 80'S WHEN PERRY & JANE'S ADDICTION TOLD ME TO.. BUT I FIGURE I'LL TRY THIS MOUNTAIN THING FOR AWHILE..THANKS DAN~

I listen to this at 1am last night and started crying tears of joy . Thank you Dan ..

I literally sobbed when I first heard it. Reminded me of Build Voices when I listened to it at my mom's funeral.

That Piano... like the tears of humanity falling on keys constructing hope for the future

Feel a little animal collective personally. Gotta love it. Really like this guys stuff

So beautiful. Makes me cry. I love Dan Deqcon and all of you who listen to him!!!

"Let me tell you, 'Become a Mountain' by Dan Deacon, it's tremendous. People are talking about it, they're saying it's fantastic. The beats, the sounds, they're really something else, let me tell you. Dan Deacon, he's done a great job, really tremendous work. It's a winner, folks, believe me. You listen to it, and you'll see, it's the best, absolutely the best. And that's coming from me, and I know good music, believe me." -Donald Trump (probably)

Harmony flavor from Phillip Glass combined with Dan Deacon's voice. Truly love it!!!!

Just discovered this guy this morning.....this is amazing

this is one of those songs that makes you want to be alive again, and to wake up in the morning.

the bridge made me want to come here and type 'I'm about to cry, I'm emotional, it's morning'

This song is incredibly amazing. It's the only song I know that sounds like this-

This might be my favorite song I’ve ever heard 😢

Wow, I remember in graduate school 2004 writing my thesis late one night listening to random weird songs on you tube. Then some wacky Dan Deacon song played, hooked every since

this is great!! can't wait for the full album!

Damn he just keeps getting BETTER!!!! This is so freaking beautiful. 2:37 🤩🤩

This song makes me feel like actually starting again after really hard moments, thanks Dan Deacon for being my companion in the distance, you inspire me a lot with your music

I rose up Tired in my flesh Getting old now I'm so lucky Yet I forget I'm still hungry For the future On this day before me Will I seize it or scroll? All of time Is right here Is right now I've got this feeling Almost all of the time I've got this feeling Like this feeling ain't mine Mystic familiar It already knows I see it waiting for me to explode Close your eyes And become a mountain Become all around you Become the skies, become the seas Open your eyes And remain the mountain Breathing in deeply Feeling the day change with the breeze All of time Is right here Is right now I've got this feeling Almost all of the time I've got this feeling Like this feeling ain't mine Mystic familiar It already knows I see it waiting for me to explode I rose up Tired in my flesh Getting old now I'm so lucky Yet I forget I'm still hungry For the future On this day before me Will I seize it or scroll? All of time Is right here Is right now I've got this feeling Almost all of the time I've got this feeling Like this feeling ain't mine Mystic familiar It already knows I see it waiting for me to explode

One of best song of all time

Can't even begin to describe what this song means to me

That mystic feeling, waiting for me to explode. Thanks, Dan my man.

this makes me feel infinite

It's so weird that music can form a lump in your throat

I've never really gotten the appeal of Dan Deacon. I've tried several times, but his music has never connected with me. I didn't _dislike_ it or anything, it just...left me cold. This, however, is fucking marvelous. I love music than can be simultaneously intimate and expansive, especially when it doesn't feel engineered to do it. I'll definitely be picking up this album when I can.

Honestly surprised hearing one of my favourite Dan Deacon songs in a TV commercial

This is an incredible composition. Wow!

Exactly what I needed this morning. Thanks for your gifts, Dan.

Thats one of the most beautyfull BlackMIDIs ive ever heard.

This song got me through 2020 and I’m glad I’m still here :)

It's like a beautiful combo of When I was Done Dying and the America Quad-series. Absolutely amazing, Iooking forward to future works.

This is the first song I listen to just about every time I get in my car to go to work….i usually listen to the whole album too

Very reminiscent of "All We Have is Now" by the Flaming Lips to me which is a good thing.

That player piano 👍 🎉

in love with this guy

this is simply a masterpiece

Can't wait to hear live in Atlanta!!!

This reminds me of Soft Bulletin era Flamig Lips

Needs more piano

This is life changing. Thank you Dan.

Love you Dan

now THAT'S what's i call music of the //FUTURE//

Pure ART

Steve Reich / Mort Garson vibes. Yes, please.

This reminds me of Electric Light Orchestra and I love the piano, man that had to be a lot of work!!!

What a beautiful piece about spiritual growth! Great job, Dan

Thank you Dan, you save my life.

This sounds fantastic! Really looking forward to the album!

This pairs beautifully well with Jon Kabat-Zinn's become the mountain meditation.

This song is very important to me.

Has Dan Deacon ever been on Duncan Trussell's podcast? This song is beautiful.

Excited for the new album to be released and the tour that follows!

dan deacon's music has been a key whenever my manic depression starts talking to me in a weird voice. i put it on, get my bike tires inflated, and i am looking at trees again and i am back to more than fine.

My chair, my problem.

Discovered Dan less than a week ago, loving the music.
