Devin Townsend – ‘Gratitude’ Single Premieres

Devin on the newest single: “Gratitude” is an easy music within the vein of “Life” or “Stagnant” (from Ocean Machine: Biomech and Terria, respectively) that acts as a easy option to proceed the theme of PowerNerd. Throughout the making of this album, there have been a variety of hurdles that we went by way of as a household, and the tendency to take a look at one’s lot in life from the vantage level of being a ‘sufferer’ appears to be a simple gap to fall into. I wrote this music throughout a really troublesome time, but the thought of gratitude is just not meant to be ironic in any method. I’m grateful for the teachings, I’m grateful for the swings and roundabouts of life, I’m right here for it. Retaining equilibrium throughout difficult instances is a job in and of itself, and in a sea of nihilistic ideas, having one’s inventive output as a tangible expression of gratitude is in some ways the entire level for me at this stage. In any occasion: I really feel like I’m dumb as a rock, and life is so unbelievable and absurd, that I simply really feel the urge to say ‘Thanks’ for all of it. If the standard of people that encompass me and this work is of any indication, we’re pointed in the best course. Thanks =)”
