Dude, you are probably the only person who's brought in the imagery of this song. I thought I was the only one who had images like this in my head. I'm at the second verse in this video and already you've described what basically goes on in my head when I listen to this song. Fuck yeah, man! [Edit: The second part of the song where you hear the chimes and bells; I always pictured a high mountain village, on this particular day it's overcast but still bright, Villagers are going about their business but today, they can't help but stare at the mountain. Something in the air just feels tense. As the song builds tension, they see the dragon emerge from its cave and unfurl its wings. Those who don't run are in shock. Once "the drop" happens, the dragon lets out a huge breath of fire and wreaks havoc throughout the course of the outro.]
Sir. You had me intrigued from the point that you noted the musical correlation between "dwell" and musical lingering. You have a unique perspective. I hope you put it to good use.
also funny you mention the drums sound like a lizard in that part, they have another song off their first album "Terra Incognita" called "Lizard Skin" and Mario the drummer does that Lizard sound really well on that track, it is also a great track to react to, no one ever reacts to that one, its a hidden gem for sure though, it is definitely one of their more brutally heavy songs though, you'll like it for sure
hell yea, double bass me up with this one! aight also a suggestion for the next time you record a new Gojira reaction, you should definitely check out Wolf Down The Earth by them, such kick ass guitar riffs in that song, especially twords the end the riffs become so hypnotizing and in a way kind of sounds like Really Heavy Classical Music, one of my favorites its always on repeat!
YES DAVE! Finally getting to some Gojira.! I'll say this - This band ruined A LOT of other bands for me. Their catalog is deep brother. Can't wait for another!!!
Did you react to live version of this song ? Because I am sure you will love it. I don't know if you uploaded it to your old channel but if you didn't please do it man.
