Dear Hunter, The - Waves Lyrics

The intro is so similar to intro to "The Carnival of the Animals: XIII. The Swan." I was listening to it to help me concentrate on a few big work projects and it blew my mind. Love it!

Who Else found this because of REDDIT?

Goodnight! (01:34) school tomorrow at 07:00

This song reminds me of simpler times and old friends. 😓 Love this album though.

and ı meet The Dear Hunter. Thank you Spotify!!!!!!!! <3

Even tho the vid isn't acts related all that much (though the red hair makes me think of Ms Leading's red dress which technically isn't Canon) the camera is totally a reference to Casey's song Camera

I'm so sad that after 4 years, this video still has less than half a million views. :(

Was listening to this song (album version) on shuffle, and magically the ending of this song connects perfectly to the next song which is Deftones - U,U,D,D,L,R,L,R,A,B,Select,Start.

This band is so underrated

400,000 views? how is this not topped up?

The only thing this video is missing is Peter Dinklage dressed in Victorian costume, thoughtfully nodding in the affirmative

Waves

The Dear Hunter

I thought that I knew love
But it was just a wave crashing over us
And in the breaths between the ones we meant to breathe
I had my head under my feet
You knew the way things were
You knew the way they would be
We knew exactly how it'd end

Strays on a stale sea
Oh anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath
Water rushed up from the boards below
So I started slicking my hair with the kerosene
You knew the way things were
You knew the way they would be
We knew exactly how it'd end

And I'm preparing for a burial at sea
But I can see the lighthouse
Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me
'Cause I can see the lighthouse

I was screaming that the ship was sinking
But you were telling me to just keep drinking
Corded in the parts again
Arms and legs at the bottom of the ocean
And the thing that made it so much harder
Was the fact that you were someone's daughter
I knew the way things were
I knew the way they would be
I knew exactly how it'd end

And I can see the lighthouse
And I'm preparing for a burial in sea
But I can see the lighthouse
Yet I'm praying that these waters don't take me
'Cause I can see the lighthouse
Yeah I can see the lighthouse

I thought that I knew love
But it was just a wave crashing over us

Opens with millennial whoop..nope.

I'm not crying you're crying

the actor is so incredibly hot in this

I just can't express in words what I feel when I listen to this masterpiece of an album... INCREDIBLE!!!! I can't even say what my favourite song is, every single second is absolutely overwhelming! Art at its best!!!!

The video is barely taller than an ad banner..

Try not to cry when singing along--

--cry everytime

There is no other band that has hit me like they did since I first heard Porcupine Tree!!!

This is good, really good.

One of the best albums of all time!!!!!!!

This is so emotionally powerful. Incredible songwriting and performance. Pure art.

Sounds similar to Of Monsters and Men.

This is one of those songs that is so good.. that when you're alone and have a few minutes to completely zone out..you tear up in between waves of goosebumps, as the hair on your arms stand up..

This band is well on their way to being huge. Like, really huge. Great music.

These guys and the Reign of Kindo are absolutely awesome! Can anyone recommend any other bands that have a similar sound as these guys? Keen to expand my listening ;)

sigue así, quien quiera que seas...

love the Dear Hunter's songs

Hey, Henry's come to see us!

gold team

You guys are seriously underrated. I really hope the tour with btbam did some great things for you guys! You won a fan in me because of it!

This song is really hitting me right now after breaking up with my girlfriend of 2 and a half years. Some seriously genius songwriting here.

love you guys, thanks SO MUCH for going out with BTBAM and leprous. i may cry if you play this song. see you tomorrow night...

This band needs more recognition. I just now found out about them. A perfect band

Fantastic album in my collection, greetings from Italy!

Toledo me trouxe aqui

Am I the only one who is thinking Life is Strange?

Hi-ya,
dope film!
have a nice evening :D

Hey,
breathtaking movie!
have a good evening :)

Hi,
Dope movie!
have a nice evening :o)

I'm waiting for my lighthouse.

How does this video only have 313K? I swear half of them are me.

This song is perfection.

seeing them for the second time tomorrow...twice in a year... thank you coheed and dear hunter. I am so amped for this.

How can this beautiful song have only 300k views?

Too profound and beautiful... It almost hurts

YouTube needs a love button. For real.
Why can't these guys be more mainstream...its imperative that they are.. the world actually needs this.

Just heard this song on NASA 3rd Rock radio o/

A little Arcade Fire vibes here, pretty song.

why do i get a bioshock games "vibe" from this?

God I wish the receiving end of sirens didn't break up. He is great

Beautiful song from the first note to the last one.

A Masterpiece

I came back to this song after like 2 years. I forgot how much I loved it

Im sorry guys. I saw The Dear Hunter open for Coheed and Cambria years ago and thought nothing of it. You guys have matured in to something unreal. Im sorry it took so long, but I get it now. Im here to stay.

This band was amazing at Denver, and they are awesome, there is no doubt about that.

why does this not at all seem similar to the music featured earlier, the first acts and such - cue the scene from #tusk about the new nordiques

i love the dear hunter💞

That Actress is beautiful. Just saying

i recently discovered the deer hunter after i was watching a neal morse video i saw them in the suggested videos section so i clicked and I am utterly impressed act 1-5 of what ever the album is called is awesome I love prog rock so they are right up my alley what a gem XD

Who is the girl? I tried looking everywhere but I can't find out who she is. I need to know for, uh, research purposes.

Is that Miss Leading?

This songs makes me cry everytime.

this song got me through a tragic relationship. but these days I embrace it anew

TDH - Best new band of the last 20 years.

Good song.

Wait, does she push him into the lake?

one of the best albums ever created, in all honesty

"Cause I can't see the lighthouse"

"I thought I knew love, but it was just a wave crashing over us.."


Bioshock vibes, so many Bioshock vibes.

At one point he also mentions "Burial at Sea" which is a DLC for Bioshock Infinite

I dont know where was I? Why I did not discover this band before? This Band deserves more views, subscriptions and publicity. Please share their music as much as you can.

This is like my Stairway To Heaven, I honestly think its the best song ever written lol...

Heard about you guys on The Attack! Awesome group.

I absolutely love this song. It's definitely one of my favorite songs of all time. Amazing melody, lyrics, instrumentation, and musicianship.

cant endorse this band enough , amazing vocals and catchy ass rythums. everyone needs to let everyone else who these guys are. Keep up the good work DH.

Okay, is it "I can" or "I can't see the lighthouse"? Because all the lyric sites conflict. "Can't" makes more sense to me.

I always thought that it was "can" because he says it as though he is preparing to die at see, however there is a slight chance, a hope, that he could make it ashore. "I'm preparing for a burial at sea, but I can see the lighthouse." "I'm praying that these waters don't take me, 'cause I can see the lighthouse."

Yeah I think you got it right Paul. He's suggesting he's preparing for the end when he says "and I'm preparing for a burial at sea", but then is second-guessing himself when he says "but i can see the light house", like it's a beacon of hope.

this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

my sis showed me this band and I ❤ it

We need to all share this on FB- Get these guys some real coverage

Amazing

eu amo essa musica e acho ela muito bonita

Realmente é sim... gostei da outra música Glória, mas as outras são uma viagem.

LOVE!!!

anyone here because of Meg?

That's the actress of the video? Just curious

Thank you greek guy!!

I'm suffering through a broken heart now and the dear hunter or Casey always ends up making me feel way better, you've helped my life so much and I just wish I had the chance to make that kind of music for someone else

if only I could listen to this forever ^-^

This is pleasant.

I find it kinda sad that bands have a hard time making befitting music videos for their concept albums. Because they need music videos for distribution but the songs are mostly supposed to play off the imagination. As soon as Act 6 comes out I DEMAND A PLAY, CASEY.

I would put money in a kickstarter for a 6 act miniseries. Somebody get Netflix over here.

UPDATE: sorry the money wasn't in it.

I'm still waiting for the Coheed and Cambria "Amory Wars" rock opera.

Looks like we're getting that play you asked for.

@Samuel Bastos act VI is still possibly gonna happen it's just not an album

You guys are my favorite band! Love this so so so much:)

wow this is some reallyl boring anglophile indie music

Eric Gasa or maybe you just don't like tasteful melodies? Listen to some of their other stuff, it's more adventurous.
