My son is 4 years old, special needs child waiting for a major brain surgery with many other conditions that affect his daily life. Right now he's seeing his differences and has many triggers that could upset him, the only thing that calms him down when he's upset is listening to your music. Right now his favourites are Dreamland, Youth, Heat Waves, Gooey and Tangerine 🌹 thank you Glass Animals for helping my son get through his challenges. Big hugs! We love you!
It's truly supernatural when an artist simply keeps getting better and better rather than losing themselves and what their music can embody. This is pure gold.
Dave I doubt you will see this. I'm a paramedic that has went through a terrible separation during my training. I find myself in a deep rock bottom hole more often than not, and contemplate things that I probably shouldn't plaster on the internet. But your song "Your Love (Deja Vu)" has really helped me realise that my thoughts of love and what I thought was permanent isn't always the right thing. You've helped me realise that life goes on, even with all the pain. I'm around pain quite a bit every day, yet I couldn't realise my own internal pain until I observed your art. From one musician to another, thank you. Have a wonderful and fulfilling life. (ps. My daughters are also obsessed with your music. My 2 year old won't go to sleep without your zaba album playing)
Hold your head up, you have 2 beautiful daughters and no matter how hard things are just stay strong for your girls. I've been where you are and believe me it's hard at first but each day you begin to accept it the easier it becomes, you might not see it now but you'll grow stronger and stronger, this is the beginning.
That's really cool that your little girl loves Zaba so much, that's adorable, lol. ☺ Fortunately, I'm able to say that it's the same around here, lol ☺️ I have 5 kids, been doing this by myself with them for a lot of years, now, and they ALL love GA's music, one of us plays them every single day, my youngest daughter sings Pork Soda whenever she sees anything with a pineapple on it, now, lol, it's very awesome! GA has songs on almost every f'ing playlist my family has, and that just points to how very well I run this shit around here, I think, which, clearly, is run pretty damn well! ☺️ 🎵🎧🎹🎸🎶🎻🎤🎛️🎚️🎷🎼
He's such a genius. My brother took his life during covid and we just had his memorial. I kept telling myself "after the memorial things will be better" but grief doesn't work like that. It only becomes more manageable. Never better. This album is just getting me through it. ❤️
@@goeeey That's so nice. This album just was like the soundtrack to my pain for awhile. My brother died and my boyfriend fell out of love with me. Like he literally stopped loving me because of who I was as a person and this album helped me so much. It's comforting to me now. I just bought one singular ticket to their Seattle show. It's just exciting. I am so fucking stoked to see them live. It's amazing to feel excited by anything again so I am doing better. My brother wouldn't want me to be sad or unhappy. He wouldn't want me hung up on somebody that treated me bad. He wouldn't. It's shit but it's better because I'm a lot kinder to myself now than I ever was. It sucks to say anything is better after someone kills themselves because it's not better. I'd rather have my brother but I'm doing the best I possibly can because I know that's what he would want. Thanks for saying that.
I feel like this song has been with me since I was a child. I know that this song is new and original, yet there's something so dear and familiar about it.
Good! That was the intention! I'm pretty sure I read this album was made after their buddy, the drummer, had a serious head injury. And he Dave found himself daydreaming and finding solace in nostalgia.
@@frickfrack7075 thats literally how i felt about heat waves one year ago and i kept asking people if it is a new song or if its been around for a while cause i feel like i heard it on the radio and it was in fact a new song
This song is so ethereal and beautiful. Everything about the lyrics, artwork, and vocals just truly touch my soul (also I loved how half the credits were just Dave haha the work ethic on that man tho)
Got to be like the most productive person ever during the quarantine. Recorded 3 music videos (Nearly completely by himself) Did multiple covers Marketing Physically produced merch Probably loads more I'm missing
Whenever I hear their music, it feels like they've taken me into their arms and cradled me like a baby. Hushed me down and told me that everything's gonna be okay. They're a real inspiration
Get ready cause I have a feeling they’re going to drop a whole new album and tour dates this year 2024. They didn’t tour last year AND did the ten year anniversary of Zaba last year (which was only 9 years) which they said was because “they had a really busy year coming up in 2024.
you've had too much of the digital love you want everything live, you want things you can touch make it feel like a movie you saw in your youth make it feel like that song that just unopened you
you were 10 years old holdin hands in the classroom he had a gun on the first day of high school you want something bizarre, old conceptual cars you want girls dressed in drag you want boys with guitars
@@marcusantonius8048 I feel like it has a different vibe, and tbh GA do best when they don't collab. But still, every other song is an absolute bop and deserves to be known.
"You've had too much of the digital love You want everything live You want things you can touch" Literally describes all our current lives perfectly...
When I first heard this song I thought the line was "You've had too much of a dead gentle love" and it made me cry I guess "digital love" is good too though
i love that there are references to the songs on the album here it's all so incredibly loud (that worst thing you said) your love (all you've done in bed, all on memorex) tangerine (make it feel like a movie you saw in your youth) space ghost coast to coast (you were ten years old, holding hands in the classroom, he had a gun on the first day of high school) waterfalls coming out your mouth (you want girls dressed in drag, you want boys with guitars) waterfalls coming out your mouth (you float in the pool where the soundtrack is canned) helium (you go ask your questions like "what makes a man?")
You go ask your questions like what makes a man could reference Melon and the Coconut “doing school runs in a four by four, I make pancakes and waffles, I could be a stay at home G.I. Joe.”
@@thrust_vectoring_spitfire I can see it, I just never considered that because I assumed that I don't wanna talk was written after the release of the original dreamland album
@@simple_tutorial1 True. But maybe they meant to add DWT to Dreamland originally, since they included it in later releases of the album. Who knows? Another cool thing, "You float in the pool where the soundtrack is canned." Could also fit Hot Sugar, since the song alludes to the pool a lot and the overall vibe of the song feels cartoony and old-timey.
It still amazes me these guys aren't a lot more popular than they are. I always feel like they're superstars or something but for some reason people only know a few of their songs. Most sleep on the rest of their amazing shit. This song is so good. I wish it had millions of views, but at the same time it makes me feel like Glass Animals is a little secret just some of us share.
Yeah I think we should all start a gathering and the only way to get in is to truly love glass animals and show up for the first time with a different shoe on each 🦶
I remember listening to Glass Animals in 2017 but like you said, i was one of those people who only knew a few songs. I only ever listened to Pork Soda and The Other Side of Paradise. I started listening to their music again a few months ago and im glad to finally be able to call myself a fan and i know more than just 2 songs now lol. Some of my favorites being Your Love, Domestic Bliss, Youth, the list goes on. I guess you can say they are becoming somewhat popular now. Pork Soda and The Other Side of Paradise play a huge role in most of my memories from 2017 so it's nice that more people have started listening to them recently.
Pulling down backstreets, deep in your head Slipping through dreamland like a tourist Pulling down backstreets, deep in your head Slipping through dreamland like a tourist That first friend you had, that worst thing you said That perfect moment, that last tear you shed All you done in bed? All on Memorex All 'round, 'round your head, all 'round, 'round your head Pulling down backstreets, deep in your head Slipping through dreamland like a tourist Pulling down backstreets, deep in your head Slipping through dreamland like a tourist You've had too much of the digital love You want everything live, you want things you can touch Make it feel like like a movie you saw in your youth Make it feel like that song that just unopened you You were ten years old holding hands in the classroom He had a gun on the first day of high school You want something bizarre, old conceptual cars You want girls dressed in drag, you want boys with guitars Pulling down backstreets, deep in your head Slipping through dreamland like a tourist Pulling down backstreets, deep in your head Slipping through dreamland like a tourist You see Kodachrome, you see pink and gold You see Mullholland glow, you see in airplane mode All 'round, 'round your head, all 'round, 'round your head All 'round, 'round your head, all 'round 'round your head You float in the pool where the soundtrack is canned You go ask your questions like, "What makes a man?" Oh, it's 2020 so it's time to change that So you go make an album and call it Dreamland
It’s actually a teaser for their new album!!!!!!!! I’m pretty sure at least. An album about a time Dave had a friend in the hospital and he kept thinking of things from the past because it was too hard to look forward
Keira Taylor That friend is their drummer Joe, who almost died after a car hit him on his bicycle. Joe had to relearn how to play drums from the ground up after he recovered, talk about resilience! Really excited for this album.
There will apparently be a whole song about that line, if I read Dave's statement correctly: "So…here is the title track, and a video I made for it in my house. Each line asks a question that’s explored in a later song. It’s not a banging single (the next one we’ll drop slaps!) but the words here could be considered a table of contents for the album as a whole. A little peek into what’s coming. I put every ounce of my soul into this album. It’s the most ambitious and challenging thing we’ve done by a distance. The album is called Dreamland, it lands on July 10th, and I can’t wait for you all to hear it. Love, Dave x"
a singer, song writer, beauty queen, gaffer, cam op, focus puller, cam assit, pa, set designer, art director, art assist, dolly grip. We all stan a legend.
As someone in the film industry that has actually had to lay dolly track before, I’m so sorry, that looked like it took forever by yourself. We usually need like four or five people. This was amazing. Hold on, man. We’ll get through quarantine.
There’s something unnerving about the chorus, that grabs me- it sounds screwy- it sounds slightly distorted & uneasy. & I love how it does. It especially sounds more distorted the second time it hits- more distanced, more echoed- Almost as though you heard someone calling your name just as you are waking up Was the sound you heard real or imagined? This is how I feel about the production of The chorus & its echoings It does feel like a warped dreamland 👌✨🙏
It sounds like purgatory. It sounds like a bad dream with confirmation that things aren't okay but things will get better if you give it time. It sounds like a bittersweet memory from years ago that means something good in the future. It sounds like making lemons when life gives you lemonade. It sounds like... magic.
Like your living in nuke town frozen like a plastic doll very aware of the madness around u and completely unable to stop them. so u just wait till they all destroy each other and themselves. We all emerge as amazing butterfly sea dragons, and heal the earth and live as one again
Sleep paralysis. I also find the reverb effect style little bit creepy. Lots of shiny wet tiles, harsh chlorine smell, and Pennywise coming out of the shower drain.
I listened to this song on the car ride to pick up my cat from the vet for the last time. It felt like it captured how I felt, where nothing felt real and it was all a dream. It still feels that way, and this song makes me cry everytime, but I've found that listening to songs like this help to process the grief. It doesn’t make it go away, but it helps me feel and understand it. Just sharing just in case anyone else had a similiar experience and maybe needed to know they're not alone. Wonderful song as well
This song will forever remind me of a warm, lockdown day with my balcony door opened wondering what would become of us! That is where I was when I first heard it. Beautiful track.
am French and I am a fan of Glass animals since the first second I heard one of their songs. I have no words so much this band is extraordinary! France loves you 💕🇫🇷
This makes me more sad about the fact that Sziget Festival is cancelled, and I can't see you live this summer... BUT this video is absolutely brilliant! Dave you're a true handyman.
This is incredible - the song, the atmosphere and especially how you've set everything up. Laughed out loud at the sight of the drill with the rope dragging you :D
This song brings such an immense wave of calm to me during this pandemic. I can't thank Glass Animals enough for creating such beautiful, ethereal music.
On April 12th 2020 I was sitting in my bed in my underwear eating Cheetos playing the Sims. On April 12th 2020 Dave Bayley was being a got-damn GENIUS.
WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT IT PANS WHEN IT SAYS “all around your head” THE SECOND TIME I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW IT MADE ME FEEL THIS IS MAGIC I LOVE IT SO MUCH :0
Saw these guys live in Sydney last month. Honestly Dave Bayley is one of the kost down to earth performers I’ve ever seen play. So appreciative and thankful for his fans support
I still remember the exact moment and emotions I felt when I first listened to this song during the covid lockdowns. Can't believe it's been 4 years!!! Was feeling nostalgic for their older music videos after the drop of ILYSFM
The timing of this feels spot on. This album release gives me something to look forward to when all the days are running together. This time will make a strange backdrop for making memories with this album, but knowing we didn’t do it “alone” will feel incredible. Thank you Glass Animals for carrying on these past years.
Still cry at the end. Thank you Dave for your creativity, your courage …and your love during one of the most frightening times in our collective lives. 🥺🙏🏽❤️
I hate the memories glass animals makes me relive. I feel like a stranger around some of my most beloved friends. People i used to brag about being in my life; People who quote me but dont speak of me. I felt like i was in a dream for a few years. When it all came crashing down i was in bed and i remember literally feeling like a weight jumping my chest. Like a relief valve bursting. I literally felt my personality and mood change and my nativity literally fall from my grasp. Something clicked that i didnt want to click, a dark fire I shared with someone in the shadows faded away but it left a wasteland in MY dreamland. I feel like the dream is no more and i care as much as i should and as much as I was made to care. Thank you glass animals your music compliments my complex yet simple life. It makes my drives better. My depression better and worse. But It's just music and life is meant to be lived and your music is so good it sometimes makes me blur the lines in my own life. I feel like a hiatus is in order.
Watching Dave evolve from Golden Antlers all those years ago to this new Dreamland has been one of the most amazing experiences. I remember watching Dan Smith from Bastille evolve from Irreverence and Foe into the latest album (even if I'm not so much of a fan of their newest music). I feel so humbled to have been able to watch them all like this. To be able to go on this incredible journey with them. How did I get so lucky to watch my idols evolve from the very beginning? I must be living in a Dreamland.
I'm studying to be a firefighter. A few weeks ago I told my friend about this dream of mine and her support encourage me. When I was walking back home the same night I talked to my friend this song started to play in shuffle mode, I looked my back and saw the lights of the firefighter truck going up the avenue as I walk
Idk if anyone is gonna see this and i hope so but Tysm your music is therapeutic to me it's just so calming and relaxing in a way, but also unic and tripy idk how to describe it. Just thank you
