Higher is a painting in music, cinematic in scope and with a just incredible crescendo. One of Devins best in my opinion.

Wat.... It's weaker than the album version, for one. He is too worn out for a clean delivery of it, one can tell he's "fighting". I won't even get into other songs of his, that's more for the usual hypers who always mention the same and don't even care for anything else.

It's not singing, but I HIGHLY recommend his podcast series that he's been recording at home. It's here on KZread on his official channel (part of his "Quarantine Project" playlist). In each installment, he tells the story behind one of his albums, going in chronological order. His storytelling is honestly as good as his singing and screaming. He gives fascinating, reflective insights into his unique creative processes. It's fantastic.

It’s amazing how he can just shift gears from pitch perfect, operatic singing to a full on, war emergency power metal scream, and back, like throwing a switch. Its very impressive. I think Rebecca is getting to be quite the fan too ❤️

Devin sure is one of those artist that takes a lot out of you listening to. Such a journey not only in musically also spiritually. Ty for this reaction, I love how you react and your face and body really feels the music, so genuine.

Anneke van Giersbergen that has sung with Devin Townsend on tour and collaborated on several of his albums has an amazing voice. It's so beautiful in concert. I can recommend just checking out some of the vids she is on. Just for fun on your own time sorta thing. Such a beautiful voice.

Devin Townsend is fucking amazing.

Devin Townsend is a force of nature. You have quite a bit of that force yourself there Rebecca! Thank you for your videos. 😊❤️

I can’t thank you enough Rebecca. I had somehow missed Devin until you did your first video with him. Now I’ve listened to his entire catalog at least a couple times. I love his music and I love you for introducing me to it. I hope you’re having a wonderful day.

Not calling you a liar or anything, but his catalog is 25+ albums. Would be a remarkable feat to listen to them all multiple times. But if indeed you have, well played sir. He is truly in a league of his own with his talent and versatility.

Good to see some love for Ryan van Poederooyen, the drummer that often works with Devin Townsend. He makes tricky technical stuff seem so effortless.

i am always impressed on how you grab onto not only the vocal but the instrumental nuances..you are a very keen flower indeed.

and here's my appreciation for you. thank you for existing and being a constant source of happiness, light and positivity in my life. you are so wonderful. i love you

Devin is such a magnificent human being that we really don't deserve. I'm so happy that you did a video for this song!

Rebecca darling. You simply take my breath away. Your lovely energy, combined with your physical beauty and musical awareness, pull me into every reaction you do. You're such a gem. Thank you for doing what you do. : )

I love you Rebecca your responses are just so genuine.You have a loyal supporter.💖💖🖤

Rebecca, I love your reactions to Devin Townsend! I am a big fan of his and now a big fan of yours. It really touched me when you became emotional during his performances.....enjoy!

Great Reaction Rebecca 😃 have a wonderful day 😄👍

OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

I like how you can make something like the aggressive drumming sound cute haha. Love your personality, new subscriber ♥️

My favorite! The progression of this song is out of this world!

I miss live music so much. Can’t wait to see you again Devin!!!

Such powerful lyrics. FYI: I was the one that added the lyrics to this video. You're welcome. LOL. Love Dev and love your reactions.

Great to see Devi again...and seeing RVA makes every day a Friday.

...and... SO PLEASED to have you back reacting to this glorious musician Thanks for being here RVA :) xx

I'd love seeing you react to any Devin song where he sings a duet with Anneke van Giersbergen! Entertaining and enlightening video as always. x

I was in Manchester for this tour and it BLEW MY MIND

thank you for blessing us with more devy

Even my goosebumps had goosebumps! Great choice =)

Another great Devin video for sure, I'm surprised no one has really mentioned Stormbending live in Plovdiv. I personally feel that live version has alot of soul and emotional tug throughout that make you just go wow lol. Great video either way, glad you're still covering Hevy Devy!

Automatic like for Suki!

Glad to see you doing this one. This quickly became my favourite Devy song when Transcendence dropped.

OMG you're back with Devin :D

I was there that night, best show ever!

Keep doing more Devin Townsend. Just went to see him do an acoustic set in Las Vegas and it was glorious.

He's always got that wall of sound going that's so effective.

Blind Guardian - The Last Candle (Imaginations through the Looking Glass) Hansi's vocals are insanely powerful

I love watching you watch Devin...

Afternoon Rebecca 😁. Ahhh some Devy for my ears? Your a sweetie! Thank you! Watching you go from sorta not sure but going with it to utterly enthralled is a joy to watch. Devin has huge power and his range is ridiculous. The musicianship is gobsmacking....a total performance imho Yup Devy is Canadian ( I seem to like Canadian rock lol.) Finally...I wholeheartedly agree with your summation 😁. Another great vid, and wonderful reaction. Thank you

imagine being at that concert, THAT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE

The finale to Higher is so exquisite, particularly at this performance it brings tears to my eyes. I would recommend trying something completely different by Devy, I recommend "Ih-Ah" from "The Retinal Circus", you get Devy with a softer smoother tone and Anneke in unison melting your heart with a stunning rendition of a song which I only thought was "meh" when I heard the studio version.

Just saw his show in Tucson...OMG it was legen... wait for it...DARY!!!! have got to find another venue close by to see another show. No kidding people, if you ever have an outside chance of seeing one of his shows, do it!!!!

Love your honest opinion

Seeing your video and watch you smile and hear you talk is all that matters.... Oh!! And the songs too... 😘

I was at this concert, one of the best I've ever been to

Please do more Devin Townsend reactions. These are the best.

You always blush when you hear Devy!

First time i'd seen this performance too, love it

You look extra beautiful today. Great insight and vocal critique. Devy Grace live from the Retinal Circus is amazing with Anneeka and Dey both intertwine in another epic song

Those are real singer and she is real singer coach. But more than that she is so bella, hermosa, so cute all the reaction when she hear or see she make reaction that she look so cute OMG thanks x your videos Rebecca.

love u...your videos are awesome!!!!!!!!

"Where are you going to take me now?" I thought the answer to that was pretty evident Rebecca!! Higher - of course!!!!

Oh Ancient Roman Theater in my home town Plovdiv. I was there that night. It was a great show. That song is from first part when they play with Plovdiv's philharmonic orchestra and chorus. In the second part of the concert they play whole Ocean Machine album. Thanks :)

Still one of the best reactions on the sum of the first 25 years of Devins music and performance quality.🤘🎶🖖

I love this song. Starts off so beautiful and gets heavier as it goes. The choir here is great but I miss Anneke on this one. You should listen to Devin's song "The Death of Music" (Live at the Royal Albert Hall). One of the best vocal performances from him I've seen.

Love your channel

I concur Sweet One! Your face says it all! He overwhelms me, phenomenal singer but too intense for me. Blessings, Pam

I am a Dimash fan but the moment I realized that you do reactions to Devin was like a winning on the lottery cuz I mesmerized his concerts I attended

Rebecca, you HAVE to hear Devin Townsend’s Stormbending. His highs are unbelievable!!!!! It’s such a beautiful song, it’s what turned me on to his music. Seriously, check it out!

love you!

Definitely a fan of the cat. Love you!

Goosebumpcity.com - I'm always awash in goosebumps at the beginning and by the time he yells "life is beautiful!" I'm weeping. And to think Empath came after this .... Higher is brilliant but Empath takes it above and beyond

You wonderful, quirky, eccentric beaut - thanks for picking up my Friday afternoon!! Soooo many more that you need to do - Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the Green; Blind Guardian Nightfall (live - Imaginations through the looking glass concert); Skid Row - Wasted Time; LOST HORIZON - HIGHLANDER (THE ONE) (plss!!) and a ton others! Keep them coming!

I love her reactions! I truly wish she would react to Failure! from this show. He has so much voice control, and amazing guitar work in just one song.

Your Suki is a Boss Chonk! Precious! Very interesting reaction, good to learn things, well done and keep up!!!

"It's like a book within itself." Yep, exactly! He's telling a story that's going through stages. You can hear it if you follow the lyrics, too. The music and the lyrics are playing off each other.

Man I was there and it was sooooooooo magnificent

Devin Townsend has just the perfect voice for the orchestra and choir accompaniment. They amp his performance up from amazing to absolutely Homeric! Of course, orchestra and choir does that for almost anyone, but only the best get that kind of treatment and he definitely deserves it. You should get an orchestra and choir too. Can you just imagine? You'd have to change your name to Madame Rrrradiance or something and it would be perfectly sublime!

Suki is so precious :D

His voice is just magic! How you say it his range is amazing. Devin keeps on lurking on the side of Dream Theater at times. Well in a matter of pure voice performance, he would fit in any way.(on a side note you look terrific Rebecca).

Thank you for continuing to look at the less obvious stuff X

What's amazing is, I remember him saying in an interview once that he has never taken a vocal lesson before. He gets the sounds he does by "sheer force of will" and just stumbled upon a technique that works for him.

Right on time.

Hi Rebecca great to see you reacting to Devin again. I love your reaction to him. 😊 Your next Devin reaction should be the funeral, bastard, the death of music video from royal Albert hall. Its a bit long, but it is a masterpiece. 👌
