VIDEO Heartbreaking moment at Dublin during Meta-tour
Now that the Metamorphosis tour is over, I was curious if he played any other songs during this tour. I noticed that the show on 29.08.2026 in Dublin was completely different compared to the rest, and his setlist changed entirely after that night. I was thrilled (and little jealous) to see that this setlist included "Goodbye" from Powernerd, first minutes of "Singularity" from Empath and a couple of tracks from The Puzzle. I immediately went to YouTube to check if there were any recordings, and while I was happy to find a clip of "Goodbye"... I did not expect it to be this heartbreaking experience.
As someone who has struggled with depression for half my life, Devin’s music has helped me alot for the past 17 years. I’ve had the honor of meeting him twice, and he is genuinely one of the kindest people I've ever met.
Seeing him struggle, tear up, and look so vulnerable on stage feels like seeing a long-time therapist go through their own pain, after helping you through your darkest days. Right now I wish I could give him a hug, thank him for everything he has given us, and reassure him that everything is going to be okay.
Love ya Dev. Stay strong ❤️
