Devin Townsend - Ih-Ah! Lyrics






As everything in life, comes together now
I need your mind
And everything is light, I remember now
I see you rise
And all the lonely things, seem to want to change
I'll sleep on it tonight

Ih-ah!

We don't even understand
Something's going on
We don't even understand
So how could this be wrong... ah!

Ih-ah!

I'm so in love with you
How could I?
Ever be untrue
I'm with you
With everything I do
God I love you
I love you

We don't even understand
Something's going on
We don't even understand
So how could we be wrong

We don't know or care
Somethings always there
We see it's in our own hands
But we just don't understand

  1. A.... J....

    This needs to be on pornhub

  2. A.... J....

    I think I climaxes

  3. B.... ....

    Bonkers genius

  4. A.... J....

    Ahhh love this song. Wow. Just wow

  5. R.... R....

    Sounds like a Mexican woman having an orgasm Ahhh Eeeee Ahhh Eeeee

  6. M.... C....

    O-Zone in the chorus anyone?

  7. H.... B....

    Eh-oh i love it!

  8. J.... H....

    Hands down the best song on Addicted!

  9. j.... ....

    Hi everybody, just a (stupid) question, what does « ih ah » mean?
    Thanks :)

    j.... ....

    I guess just a voicing you make, of a human emotion etc. Like onomatopoeia can be mimicking a voicing of an animal for example. Bark, meow...

  10. T.... S....

    Screw homework, I listen to Devin!

  11. m.... ....

    sunday bloody sunday

  12. A.... U....

    Why this song isn't a pop radio hit I will never know? This song is perfect. Devin is brilliant. The music industry sucks dick.

  13. P.... C....

    40 people have no soul

  14. B.... F....

    llevo escuchando esta canción desde la primera vez que oí entero el álbum, es increíble que me recuerde muchas cosas por las que pasé a lo largo de que le dediqué las escuchadas a esta y su álbum. Siento que el tiempo ha pasado y esta canción ha sido mi medicina para enfrentar las cosas difíciles en los últimos años. Grande el Sr. Devin Townsend, siempre seguiré su música hasta su retiro o hasta que la muerte lo separe de su portentoso talento.

  15. G.... S....

    *screams*

  16. M.... K....

    Not hot on Addicted to be honest, but this is a great song (although the title track, Supercrush and Hyperdrive are pretty good as well).

    M.... K....

    Dude, Awake!! and Numbered! slay.

  17. V.... S....

    this song will always make me cry. it has such a special place in my heart

  18. S.... T....

    i love it but in a secret shame way. was so feckin delighted to her him play it live

  19. c.... ....

    Contemplating this for my wedding aisle song....

  20. E.... S....

    If it sounds similar to other songs, it’s because it’s literally the most overused chord progression in pop history.

  21. c.... w....

    Girlfriend just introduced me to to this like oml it's amazing

  22. I.... M....

    This is what pop.should be!

    I.... M....

    Ih ah ih ah ih ah ih ah

  23. t.... ....

    Sounds like Comes and Goes by Greg Laswell (08)

  24. D.... P....

    This is not the same!

    I was such a big Strapping Young Lad fan, but now Devin's gone soft.

    D.... P....

    Listen to Juular, please

    D.... P....

    Gone soft? You mean found himself in a far happier place in his fucking 40's?

    Oh but no, I guess his family should be brutally murdered and he should get back on the drugs and booze so you can have some more "hard" music.

    D.... P....

    Find his own comments on his earlier music, then you will understand. Gutted i won't hear another SYL album after those words i fear. Sure check Juular out, can't wait for his unhappiness, even i know that sounds and is wrong to say. Maturity, music will take a hit or miss, go for it attitude. I'm sure something else was to be said....

    D.... P....

    To be honest if you are a strapping fan you will love this song, and every thing Devin makes. He is just a true musician and we all shall appreciate that he is here, on this planet.

  25. B.... T....

    So beautiful. One of top 5 favourite tracks by devy

    B.... T....

    If I had a worst songs by artists I like list, this would be near the top.

  26. m.... w....

    This Song its perfect

  27. J.... K....

    beautiful -- imagine sitting on a mountaintop and watching the sun rise to this song

    J.... K....

    With the one you love...

    J.... K....

    I know what my weekend plans are now!

  28. G.... T....

    Axis of Awesome should add this to their 4 chords set

  29. G.... S....

    No words 😍

  30. D.... ....

    This guy is so fucking brilliant. I saw him with Between the Buried and Me and Fallujah and he stole the show.

    D.... ....

    He is playing in Indianapolis with Opeth and Gojira in May I can't fucking wait!

  31. J.... D....

    Saw this last night at sacramento and it was epiiiiic 😭

  32. P.... A....

    amazing tune! Devin is a true genius

    P.... A....

    One of the few, if there even is such a thing.

  33. J.... ....

    Did you guys know, in the live version with Anneke, from The Retinal Circus, the guitar plays the second chord differently.
    There it's Fmaj7sus2 instead of Fmaj7, which sounds better imo!

    J.... ....

    What does that actually look like in Open C?

    J.... ....

    This is one of the most nerdy comments I've ever seen....... Glorious 😂😂

    J.... ....

    What the fuck xD thanks dude

  34. t.... b....

    1:02 love this song, but i can't help thinking of miniature donkeys on the chorus. And that's alright http://justcuteanimals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/baby-miniature-donkey-animals-pictures-cute-pics.jpg

  35. r.... ....

    Knowing he performed this on the Retinal Circus with Anneke a part of the show.. its just so Goddamned perfect.

    r.... ....

    I wish they record the studio version both of them :'(

    r.... ....

    Right, knowing it was not Anneke makes me so un-gay...

    r.... ....

    I'd do devin and i'm not even gay.

  36. M.... ....

    Best lovesong forever!!

  37. L.... G....

    *~* getting an orgasm...

  38. D.... C....

    barbara Wilson. were u on LSD? I was the first time I heard it. n I cried too. powerful.

    D.... C....

    Desmond Cotrell I was too

    D.... C....

    @David Rodriguez oh yeah yeah

    D.... C....

    @Void Alone oh yeah yeah

  39. A.... A....

    this song is so perfect♡

  40. J.... C....

    whats with the 11 dislikes mang, this is a fucking brilliant song.

    J.... C....

    +Jayjayjay Ceeceecee justin bieber and nikki minaj fans

  41. w.... v....

    I get it now!
    So the crayons symbolize simple things in life, as they are for children and children don't complicate things. So the colours are different addicts that people have. Green I think is music, since Devin's music is incredible. I think the blue is love, it's not as important as music, but music and love and be connected since people "LOVE" music. And the red I think is real problems, since it is the lowest, Devin didn't want the real problems to be as big an issue as "love" and "music" is to people. So what I am saying is that you need to stop worrying about crap and just listen to music. The words: "we don't even understand", indicated the fact, that the mysteries in music/lyrics. and in "everything in life". is a mystery. 

    Love music, Love Devin Townsend's work.

    w.... v....

    @PikkaBird Purple is a combination of red and blue. I think it means that problems (red) can be solved with love (blue). Such hippie...

    w.... v....

    If you read the discography page on Devin's website, he says that the underlying theme of Addicted was that you can become addicted to literally anything and that the process of addiction is started by one's inability, or fear to deal with the roots of the cause.
    Also, the songs are so "absurdly positive" because there's no acknowledgement of life's problems, like an addiction.

    w.... v....

    Red is Strapping Young Lad
    Blue is Devin Townsend Band
    Green is his new project.

    You can look for new meanings but this is what the cover originally stood for.

    w.... v....

    Plus, Dev's usual self-deprecation. I can imagine Dev definitely describing himself as the kid in class that ate the crayons.

    w.... v....

    You should be an English Literature teacher because your ability to overanalyse is some of the best (worst) I’ve ever seen.

  42. L.... T....

    gawd I love ... this song  .

  43. C.... F....

    Too real...

  44. M.... ....

    This song reminds me of the time I turned into a dinosaur and ate three teenagers who were having a picnic beside a pond. Great memories!

    M.... ....

    Lol. Randumb.

    M.... ....

    A nice long soft poo

    M.... ....

    Goddamn comment section is a nest of stoners

    M.... ....

    Yeah, thanks for eating the guy in the middle, he was a total prick!

    M.... ....

    Megafayce Me too.

  45. j.... ....

    This is a nice song.. :3.

  46. K.... H....

    what I walked down the ailse to

    K.... H....

    I don't remember marrying you

    K.... H....

    Really late and soppy reply for you, I know it'll sound really weird - I was actually considering suggesting this as a first dance song to my girlfriend, as we both love Devin and his art, and I'm so glad someone appreciates this song like I do and has used it at their wedding. I hope it was a wonderful time for you both and you're enjoying a wealth of happiness, as this comment has made my week and this song has so much sentimental value. Awesome stuff 😁

    K.... H....

    4 years from your comment, and it's still something so many can relate to and would still do.

    K.... H....

    oh fuck i thought you meant in the grocery store... im an idiot

  47. M.... P....

    my fella's and my song :)

  48. a.... ....

    This song is absolutely magnificent

    a.... ....

    atrumluminarium listening to it live and dancing front row in front of the man himself with my wife is one of the highlights of life

  49. 8.... ....

    I'm addicted! to Devin Townsend's genius.

    8.... ....

    corny. but he does have an addictive quality

    8.... ....

    me too^^

    8.... ....

    @Megafayce You could almost say it's an effervescent quality.

    8.... ....

    @87in7 and boom goes the dynamite

  50. G.... ....

    Had a migraine for 4 days straight. It just went away while listening to this song. Not even kidding! It just can't be coincidence!

    G.... ....

    this is not the first time I see a comment like this under a Devin song

    G.... ....

    It's not the first time I've heard of his music affecting more than moods either. Especially a lot of material released after about 2007. It feels like some kind of healing happened for him that influenced him to share that positive spectrum of life with people and give strapping's atmosphere a rest for himself (even though strapping was great too)

    G.... ....

    Ghosts would probably also be good for that.

    G.... ....

    Gallopeermeneer the power of devi 🤘🤘🤘🤘

    G.... ....

    You need a cat, watch Studio Ghibli movies, read philosophy or poetry, watch old movies...

  51. f.... ....

    cant handle the feelsssss, how could i not know this. sooooooooo goooooooood. this guy is genius

  52. �.... �....

    Dan Balan)

  53. n.... ....

    love it <3

  54. b.... ....

     mm   goood song

  55. B.... ....

    *Meshuggah

  56. n.... ....

    fuck man devins one of the most original fuckers around, plus he has so much songs its impossible to not rip off anymore

  57. S.... D....

    Scroll to around 7-9 months ago. there you will find some talk of this "ripped" talk

  58. G.... S....

    So much love for Devin !!!! What an artist

  59. N.... T....

    oh, and Meshugga, We all rip off Meshugga

  60. B.... M....

    I love this song... Don't know why... But, God I love this!!

  61. j.... ....

    It sounds like a major version of Fade to Black, I think that's what they're referring to.

    j.... ....

    More like "the day that never come"

  62. N.... G....

    Best
    Love
    Song
    Ever

  63. S.... ....

    This thing of Ih-ah! being ripped off from Metallica, is that just because James Hetfield finishes a lot of lines with "Ih" and "Ah" or have I missed some critical Metallica song?

  64. K.... B....

    Ripped off Metallica? Please, U2 played that riff in 1983. And there's nothing wrong with that

  65. j.... ....

    Devin even actively admits that he rips off Metallica a lot XD

  66. z.... ....

    love this song. :)

  67. G.... ....

    Devin: "Ih-Ah"
    Average listener: "yo dev, this is ripped from metallica"
    Devin: "we dont even care"
    Average listener: "seriously bro, look i can even find another song it sounds like you ripped off"
    Devin: "But we just don't understand"


    the moral here kiddies is that its for you to listen to, to enjoy, to try to relate to a part of your life. not scream to mommy that he stole you favorite bands plucking strum line.

  68. j.... ....

    Seriously. I just saw him on Saturday and god damn, the pit swallowed the better part of the crowd. I even moshed with my girlfriend. Shit was intense.

  69. A.... F....

    Or Strapping Young Lad ones lol

  70. l.... ....

    I saw Devin Townsend live.. Holy fuck.. Comparable mosh pits to Cannibal Corpse or Decapitated..

  71. C.... ....

    Devin Townsend lovers! Check out the cover of Ih-ah! we just put up on our channel. We put our own unique twist on it! Hope you enjoy!

  72. I.... P....

    They both start on the same chord in different octaves (A minor), and have a similar picking pattern and rhythm. And it's extremely common pattern. The similarities end there. After the first chord, the each move in different directions. Devin plays Am-F-C-C9, Metallica plays Am-Em-D7-Am. So yes, they are very different. They sound similar enough to be worth pointing out that one reminds you of the other, but not even close to enough to claim one ripped off the other or something.

  73. a.... ....

    A great, yet not so subtle tongue in cheek rip on pop ballads.

  74. P.... F....

    its a different pattern entirely, are you joking?

    i can play both songs

  75. E.... P....

    he's not saying it's completely different, and in what you just said, you ended yourself...you said a few extra notes, implying it is in fact not "literally the same"

  76. T.... O....

    prachtig zo prachtig mooi!!!!!

  77. S.... ....

    The intro sounded a bit like it at first but then changed, i totally agree with you though, Devin is a genius!

  78. B.... H....

    Youtube is the home of butthurt, post something that someone doesn't like and they'll just twist your words and add new ones in there until it sounds like what they read in their head. Same thing happened to me when I said I didn't like the breakdown in a song, just got loads of kids telling me how I'm such a faggot for not agreeing with their opinion of one breakdown and how my youtube name makes my opinion invalid. Children, eh?

  79. T.... N....

    They are literally not the same.

  80. T.... N....

    Because Metallica changed their sound to make more money. Devin just does whatever the fuck he wants.

  81. c.... ....

    It's just a simple riff, no one's ripping off anyone. Metallica sucks anyway, Devin doesn't need to draw inspiration from the most overrated and washed up band in existence.

  82. T.... N....

    The opening guitar riffs share a passing similarity.

  83. m.... ....

    Again I don't see why that automatically makes it a good thing?
    I don't know many albums that sound similar to Risk, doesn't mean it wasn't absolute garbage. Metallica simply haven't been able to create as good a music with their change in influence. Change can be good, but only when executed properly. Devin Townsend knows how to create varied and wonderful music across genres. Metallica not so much. I judge all music on it's merits, not on a pre-existing infatuation with a band.

  84. m.... ....

    Eh, I obviously understand the similarity with the intro/chorus, but it seems a bit inane for someone to draw comparisons between two drastically different songs for what amounts to be a riff that actually deviates a fair amount...

    I love Metallica, they're my second favourite band of all time (behind Megadeth), doesn't mean I like all of their albums. I personally thought Death Magnetic was a pretty mediocre if not terrible entry to their catalogue.

  85. P.... ....

    Oh god, you really don't see the similarity with the intro on The Day That Never Comes? If not, congratulations, I think you just got blinded by your own fanatism :)

    I love Devin's works, but I see no reason in hating on Death Magnetic. No matter how sell-out or whatsoever Metallica is, it's a reason they became on of the greatest metal bands on the planet.

  86. e.... l....

    seen him 3 times each show was epicness!

  87. C.... S....

    The song doesn't really remind me of it, the intro sounds really metallica-y to me for some reason, but I don't know what song i would compare that riff to.

  88. R.... ....

    That's the best description of Devin that I've heard of. Well said, mate :)

  89. L.... A....

    I know what he means. The opening arpeggio is similar.

  90. A.... M....

    My brother is taking me to see this guy tomorrow night... I am now incredibly excited...

  91. p.... ....

    With some other music videos, I have posted comments like... 4 (insert witty thing here) don't like this. but with devin I'm just like... WHY??? HOW CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS???

  92. S.... ....

    I missed his set at Download, but I got to meet Devin Townsend.

  93. D.... L....

    This song really comforts and explains something im going through right now with a girl. Thank you Devin.

  94. B.... B....

    Greg Laswell - Comes and Goes ...original

  95. Z.... ....

    I see the similarity, but exact replica is a stretch and a half. They're both pretty awesome though, thanks for saying it and thus introducing me to new music :)

  96. L.... C....

    The guitar part in the beginning sounds a similar but not exact to that in "Ih-ah!"

  97. 2.... ....

    M boyfriend showed me this video. I'm loving it!
    I love this song, love the whole music! I can't get over Devin Townsend. <3 <3 <3
    It makes me feel so dreamy and bliss...I think that's cuz of the whole dramatic sounding background and the harmonic voices. Gah! I'm going to keep listening to this till I'm sick of it!...WHICH IS LIKE NEVER!! <3 <3 <3 Thanks baby, I love you to much.

  98. c.... m....

    this song is so beautiful. im totally in love with mr devin :3

  99. j.... ....

    I'd hesitate to call Devin JUST a genius.

    Musical mad scientist seems WAY more fitting. Especially after Deconstruction.
