Heartwarming / Devin Townsend

• A minor one, but Ziltoid keeping a picture of himself with his wife and child on his desk in ZTV 2 is pretty sweet.
• So much of his solo work is full of these:
  • "Universal Flame" from Z2 finishes with a truly inspiring verse.
  Though you feel you're far gone
  Never to love again
  Remember to have faith now
  The sun will rise again!

  • His son requested that he close the Royal Albert Hall concert with this song, and you can tell that Devin, his son and everyone else in the building is absolutely loving it.
  • From the same album, "Before We Die".
  You shall be always with me
  You'll be the light that guided me through
  And we may see each other soon
  This is not goodbye...
  • The whole of "Divine" from Epicloud.
  • This verse sung by the choir at the end of Epicloud.
  So you will know by the light
  Your hands and all that they write
  Take comfort in knowing your fears are gone
  Fears be gone, I believe in love!
• The utter joy on Devin's face throughout the whole Royal Albert Hall concert. He's having the time of his life and it's obvious he just wants to jump into the audience and give everyone a hug.
  • Towards the end of the concert, Devin gives this simple yet very heartelt speech:
  "I wanna tell ya, honestly this is not some hippy bullshit, but really, I've been doing this for twenty five years and that's why we do this. You guys can do this, too. So, if you're in a band, just keep at it. And you know what? Worse shit has happened to better people, just keep doing it guys, 'cause it's worth it. You have to be compromised with your team, man. You gotta have great people around you. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you so much for this night!"
  • "Dimension Z". As the narrator says, it's the whole world singing together in celebration of their survival of the poozer invasion.
• "From The Heart" off Transcendence is made of this.
• "Spirits Will Collide" is a very uplifting song with lyrics about how You Are Not Alone. The YouTube comments on its video are full of people who claim it's helped them through the lowest points of their lives. The video is also heartwarming when you realize who the scrawny red-headed kid is: It's Devin, and the song is the kind of music he's been wanting to make without interference for years, and he finally can make it after 20 years of genre-hopping, breakdowns, and band-changes.
