Vocal ANALYSIS of Evergrey's newish single "Save Us" and Tom Englund's first analysis!

- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- I first heard Tom Englund's voice in Silent Skies and instantly knew I needed to delve more into his catalogue on this channel. This performance is flush with dark overtones and burly rhythms, with this ray of optimism that's constantly trying to break through. I was truly so taken back by this performance.
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Evergrey for the first time, performing "Save Us”.

#Evergrey #Reaction #TheCharismaticVoice
-------------
Thanks so much for having us! We really appreciate it and enjoyed it tremendously! And thanks to all of you watching and maybe finding out about Evergrey for the first time🙏
You have a great community here!
You guys deserve this reaction. \m/
Seen you at ProgPower and Houston ... You made my now wife marry me!
25 years I've been listening and you're still killing it!
Discovered you guys on Tank's channel and have been adding your songs to my playlist every since. One of my favourite bands now, only wish I had started listening to you sooner.
@@jamesboulerice4968 amazing! You’re more than welcome!
Evergrey are so underrated! Tom's voice is incredible.
The band have 27 year in the road, is not underrated
@@IVANCEDRICK underrated is nothing to do with longevity. Underrated is quality vs sucess or critical praise. I think many would agree that they are underrated.
@@mav4578 underrated only in your town this is metal not Pop music
@@IVANCEDRICK
That has nothing to do with whether or not they're underrated.
@@IVANCEDRICK No. I think in the scheme of things they ARE underrated.
Finally! One of the most if not the most charismatic voice in the genre. A special band and a special voice!
You will find that the majority of Evergrey's (Tom's) lyrics are deep, profound, honest thoughts from the heart. What you get is a piece of Tom's inner thoughts and feelings. That and the awesome music these guys perform is why I appreciate this band so much.
Oh wow, Elizabeth.....EVERGREY!!!!! Thank you for doing this!
Now you'll have to try "The Awakening/King of Errors" and "Weightless" among others - you'll enjoy the catalog for sure!
#spoiledbyScandinavianmetal
"Where August Mourns", "Weightless", and "Currents" have been on loop for the last few weeks. Evergrey is fantastic. Glad to see them getting some love!!
Underrated album but I just adore escape of the phoenix. Every single track is worshipable
Yes yes yes!!! I can't stop listening. Love it
Distance..
you forgot "in orbit" featuring flor jaansen.
Yes! Finally Evergrey and tom Englund. They have so many Great songs and he is easily one of the best male singers out there.
Wow! I never imagined Elizabeth would ever react to Evergrey! They’re such an amazing band, but they’re just not that well known here in the states. I’m looking forward to this! Listen to Paradox of the Flame, a wonderful duet with Carina Englund.
I had never heard of them till a few months ago but now i faithfully listen to them man its so good
You need to listen to Evergrey's song "In Orbit" It's a great duet with Tom and Floor Jansen.
You have 20 + years of Evergrey to go through. This band has been my favorite since 2003 and I’ve been lucky enough to meet them a couple times. Amazing band and they need a great review like this! Thank you! They should be a household name by now. I’m waiting for the album to arrive to see if I made the liner notes for the chorus of “save us” as they had fans send in their vocal takes to compile that chant.
Thanks for checking out Evergrey. I’ve always loved his voice. Been listening to them since I was 14. Nearly 35 now 😂
Check out Evergrey's "Recreation Day". Awesome song and album.
Yes, one of my favorite Evergrey's song. Must listen Elizabeth.
EVERGREY A Silent Arc. You won’t forget this song from them.
THIS!
Our Heaven's Dead, a Silent Arc. Such a great line. The whole album is of him mourning his divorce from his long time wife. Truly a great album. Currents is another great song.
Pleaseeeeeee
I saw Evergrey in Tallahassee, FL on May 28, 2006! I still have the ticket! It was with In Flames, Nevermore, and Throwdown. I remember it being a really great show and I was right up front near Tom. I had liked them OK before that but became even a bigger fan since then.
Simply… Thank you, Elizabeth for taking the time and sharing your musical insight into Evergrey and specifically Tom Englund. Jonas, Rikard, Henrik and Johan are all extraordinary musicians that amplify his vocals in each of there own ways. Rikard with those keys and electronics in the pauses, stitching the raw elements together. Johan does his part in laying down the best progressive groves for all the power and energy to dwell. Henrik co-leads with the voices of the guitars to match the harmonies/melodies with the octaves and can quickly go back and forth from the raw to the soaring heights of Tom’s vocals and Rikard’s prophetically timed keys (much like Vikram in Silent Skies). And then Jonas… the musical talent he has in his soul is beyond words. He conducts from the drum kit and powers out the directions for all the band members to take place in a very intentional way. And like you pointed out… Tom creates these amazing lyrics that lead, but also invite Us to be a part of in a full and vulnerable way. He really accepts all of Us as who we are in this space and encourages Us to be part of the bigger story. Again… thank you for highlighting Evergrey and Tom. All of them have been creating amazing albums for decades now and they deserve to be recognized so much more for what they bring to all of Us. This episode of your channel meant a lot to me personally. I’m sincerely grateful, Elizabeth.
Evergrey - I'm Sorry, Trilogy of the Damned, Wake of the Weary, Solitude Within, December 26th, Mark of the Triangle....their back catalog is full of amazing songs Elizabeth. Hope you react to some of them to compare the evolution of their sound, Tom's vocals, production values etc. ❤
Mark of the Triangle and Dark Waters
@@kimchi2780 I feel like we could just say everything they've done Elizabeth should react to lol. So much great material across their discography!
@@jeffbudd7678 Totally! I'm more of a fan of Pre-Torn stuff but I still enjoy the newer stuff. Nothing can top those first 4 albums.
Fun fact: "I'm sorry" is actually a cover from another Swedish artist called "Dilba" who was quite big in the late 90's. Altough, Evergrey's version is unbeatable.
@@Brutaliator you are correct sir. In fact Dilbas version was the longest reigning #1 single on Swedish radio ever, at the time.
Evergrey is such a diverse band, atleast 2 more songs must be done and thank you for doing this! Tom sings with passion and you can hear it in every song 😊
And now I think you should check out Evergrey's "In Orbit" with Tom and Floor Jansen. 😉
Great idea! The combination of those two amazing voices! Maybe the most talented and amazing voices in the whole music industry.
this song isn't such a banger like Save Us
Which is indeed an amazing combination, however I would recommend Tom singing with his wife the song "For Every Tear That Falls" on their live DVD a night to remember.
@@suk4ed it is save us? :D?
That track is amazing
If no one has already posted this the fact that the “save us” choir is comprised of fan submitted audio clips is insanely cool & unique. This band is awesome. Highly recommend Eternal Nocturnal from 2021. Easily one of my favorite singles in a loooong time.
And live audience
I wanted so badly to do a submission for the choir but I was overwhelmed with a house purchase and moving at that time. What a fabulous way to include the fans!
I sent in a voice clip for it! So cool!
There's a guy in this thread somewhere claiming he's the sole person shouting "save us" 😂
Thanks for noticing those Harsh vocals. Those were actually mine. The band had an open audition for fans to submit vocal lines Rather than trying clean vocals, I decided to do something different and used my harsh ones. It was the first time I've done anything like that, since I am very shy about my singing. But to participate in a song for one of my favorite bands, I couldn't resist. I have been a fan of Evergrey since 2001, and they never cease to amaze with their songs. I highly recommend checking out Midwinter Calls, and Blindfolded, in that order. Thanks for the great reaction as always, you made my day with this one!
Bravo, dude!
No, they took every person who submitted and blended it all together for the "gang" vocal effect.
I'm not sure I believe you. 🤔🧐 🤥
Send goloi. Buhysh
The first time I heard this song. I was blown away how they wrote and composed this song. Too deep !!!
There's a "Universal Choir" in the Save Us parts, fans that were invited to record them singing it and sending it in. Those were included in that part.
You really, really need to see them live! Best band in the world 🤘🤘
Finally! I can stop slipping Evergrey into every recommendation for your channel. Nah, just kidding - I’ll only do it slightly less often. You should check out “The Beholder” which James Labrie collaborated on, or “In Orbit” featuring Floor Jansen. Tom’s involved in a lot of other great projects, like Silent Skies, which is just his magnificent voice backed by piano (I’d start with Horizons or Distance, which is actually an Evergrey cover)
Yes! 'In Orbit' with Floor !
You really should go back to the old stuff. You really must to do "For Every Tear That Falls" from "A Night to Remember". It's moving and beautiful. It's a duet with his ex-wife, who is a really great singer also. If you want to focus on just Tom Englund's vocals, check out "Waking Up Blind" from the same concert.
That live version of “Waking Up Blind” is an emotional sledgehammer.
Man this is right up my alley.
Once again a little mad at myself for not having checked this band out sooner. This is a tremendous track.
One of my favorite singers and bands! Big Kudos for doing this Tom is amazing vocal and amazing person! Definetly recommend doing interview with that wonderfull human being!
I've been obsessed with evergrey for months. Obsessed! And I kept thinking, I wonder what the charismatic voice would think of this... and here it was the whole time! ❤❤ idk what it is, but I can't stop listening to them. It's exactly what I've needed.
Thank you for your reaction videos, and especially for your love of music and singing! Being a nurse, I'm very grateful for the many times that you have brought some bright and joyful moments to my days during these past two tough years! All the best for you and your family of three! 😊
Tom is honestly one of my all time favourite singers. Evergrey are so amazing live in concert.
Elizabeth, you always turn me onto new music. Thank his for you!!!
So cool to see Evergrey on the channel! I’ve been a fan for a little over 20 years & have always loved Tom’s voice. Found Silent Skies a few weeks ago and have been digging that was well.
Well done analysis 👏🏼😁 My favorite song of their is End of Your Days - kind of a deep cut, but epic level of riff + hook 🤘🏼😑🤘🏼
It’s a dream come true that you made a video about Evergrey and Tom! I have been especially loving your Queensryche and Kamelot videos, and I jumped with joy when I saw this on my feed!
This is so cool! I couldn't put it into words myself, but you've just explained perfectly why I love this song so much!
And to think, Tom was a guitarist only until his vocalist quit. My personal favorite song that shows off his range is The Impossible. It's perfection.
Awesome song!
Do a reaction to Evergrey's song For Every Tear That Falls. The emotion is amazing not only his voice but her voice as well
One of my all time favorite Swedish metals bands. Been listening to them since the beginning
Finally! You're taking on Tom Englund. I've been trying to shout him out to you for years (my recommendation has been the song Wrong, which best showcases how well he can express grief).
Finally!!!!! Been recommending them since you first started this channel. Some of the most underrated metal musicians in this band. Henrik and Tom are absolutely amazing guitar players. They are all great musicians. Been listening to them since I was..... 21. I'm going tu be 45 soon.... Geeeeeeeeeeezus time flies.
I sense a tea time chat with Tom coming at some point. I haven't heard Elizabeth geek out like this in a while, and there's a lot to talk about when it comes to Tom's vocals.
That would be awesome
Thought that myself, there shouldn't be a problem getting Tom aboard the idea, he's been doing tons of press in Sweden the last few weeks.
Floor has a great interview with Tom on her YT Chanel about mental Health and the time he took away from the music industry he is an amazing person and so compassionate
@@glendawatson331 I think I've watched that one. Is that the one where Tom spoke of getting a university degree when things nearly fell apart?
@@gustaveriksson113 Tom has generally been quite receptive towards doing interviews with RUclipsrs, so I agree it should happen. Being on tour might make it a little more difficult though, but should be possible.
Thank you so much for this vocal analysis. I wanted to learn more about of Tom's vocal stylings. What an amazing band. I was introduced to Evergrey in 2003. I vividly remember my friend Trevor and I listening to their record "The Inner Circle" for the first time. That was our intro to Evergrey. The vocal melody in their song "In the Wake of the Weary" blew me away. I remember telling my friend Trevor "Wow! Listen to that! What powerful emotions he's expressing." Never in my life have I ever heard a metal band with THIS MUCH TALENT!!
Absolutely loved your analysis of Evergrey! I love love love Tom’s voice and think he doesn’t get enough credit for his skill and songwriting. I never would have considered the choices they’ve made in their vocals and found your analysis so fascinating. If you like this song you should check out their next single Midwinter calls which I think the vocals are even better. Keep you the great content, more metal 😊
The Charismatic community is now the place I come to to find great new music with amazing singers
What a brilliant band. I've been listening to them probably for 15 years or more. Tom and Henrik are two of the best guitarists. And damn, that voice. So heartfelt and bluesy.
I love this band so much, it's one of the most underrated metal groups of all time in my opinion. You should definitely listen to one of their ballads like "The Paradox of the Flame", which is a gorgeous duet between Tom and his wife Carina!
So happy you did Evergrey. Loved it!👍
Evergrey are just amazing. I first discovered them in the early 2000s and have been in love with the band ever since. Fun fact on the side: Tom is another one of the great singers to have been on Ayreon :) I'd love to hear your take on their song *For Every Tear that Falls* . Tom sings it with his then wife Carina. There's a great live version from their DVD release A Night to Remember. Highly recommended.
Other great Evergrey songs:
*The Masterplan*
*Ambassador*
*Recreation Day*
*King of Errors*
And finally, one of their most powerful songs *When the Walls Go Down* . That one is an instrumental, so no vocals per se, but there are samples from a Sermon playing. Extremely powerful piece of music!
Elizabeth, you realize you have to do lots more Evergrey now right, and get Tom on for a teatime chat! Also check out Darkwater Alive Part II, they are not dissimilar in their sound and VERY underrated. LOVE your analysis ❤!!
Thnx Elizabeth, another great vid, as always! Known the guys (well at least Tom) for over 20 years already and I'm now even more stoked to fly to Gothenburg this Friday to see the boys in their hometown for the release gig of the new album. Would be great if you could do some comments on their 'older' material.
More EVERGREY Please! There are soooooo many great heartfelt songs that are heavy on emotions in an amazing way by Evergrey.
I haven’t heard of this group until now - I want to look them up . Thank you!!
Please dive into the back catalog! Evergrey is such a phenomenal band. One of the few that haven't put out a bad album. Love that you finally did a video for them!
evergrey is amazing. thanks for checking them out!!!!
Evergrey is one of my favorite bands, i will recomend you guys to see the dvd concert "A night to remember" from them, saddly it's a little old dvd and image quality is kinda bad, but its totally a night to remember.
In 2019 i was at Wacken open air super hyped to watch them live for first time, but their concert got suspended due to thunderstorm.
I was lucky the same year they came to Chile, production was less than half of WOA and the place was so tiny that the sound bounced a lot on the walls, but it was still great.
In case you haven't seen it yet, there's also the live album "Live before the aftermath" which comes with blu ray of the concert.
@@insparks782 no i haven't yet, thanks
Found Tom through Silent Skies album Nectar, then I dig into him like you did. I’ve played the new Evergrey album at least once a day since it’s release. Just a phenomenal singer.
Looots of thanks for finally getting to Evergrey, Elizabeth :) You might also be interested in reviewing EVERGREY - In Orbit (feat. Floor Jansen) ;)
Evergrey have a fantastic back catalogue and like Seventh Wonder I have no idea why they aren't huge around the world
This group is so talented and i just heard them for the first time about a year ago and ending up buying all their albums afterwards.Toms voice is so amazing and so is his song writing .
Such a great reaction. I was just listening to Evergrey one of these days and hoping you'd react to them one day and that day came faster than I could have imagined! I love Tom's voice, he has one of the most emotional voices in metal and I hope more people get to discover Evergrey. Now here's hoping you react to Haggard's Eppur si Muove one day too!!!
I just smile and giggle uncontrollably every time.
At last! Evergrey, and Tom, are phenomenal! You have plenty to look forward to if you dig into their catalogue. And Silent Skies is amazing as well.
Now the only singer you have not reacted to that I would love to hear your opinion on is Matt Barlow from Ashes of Ares, former singer of Iced Earth.
I just wrote a comment how she's been crossing off many of my favorite bands and wondered what would be next. Iced Earth was who came to my mind. I would definitely like to see that!
@@aesbj9228 Dracula would be a great choice for a reaction. However, I'm worried that she might stay away from IE due to Jon's involvement on jan 6th. It's a shame as they wrote a lot of awesome songs and Matt is such an emotional singer that I think she would love. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
So happy to see you reacting to Evergrey AND pointing out the lyrics. Tom and company have some of the deepest, amazing lyrics I’ve ever heard. My absolutely favorite band.
Great video as usual, can you please reach to either Evergrey-Broken Wings, or Guano Apes-Open Your Eyes, both are hauntingly beautiful and rich with emotions, unfortunately time seems to have forgotten them, and both deserve modern recognition in my opinion. I love your videos, keep it up.
This is my favourite element of reaction videos: when an artist you love but listen to a lot has become somewhat normalised, and then the reaction enables you to listen with fresh ears and be reminded just how amazing and special they are \m/
Oooh I love it when this community introduces me to a new artist. Time to go listen to more
My absolute favorite band and I'm so stoked to see you covering them. Channel favorite Floor Jansen actually guested on a couple of their songs from their Storm Within album! "In Orbit" and "Disconnect."
The reason I love so much this guy's singing, is because I find him kind of unpredictable, imaginative and resourceful. I don't know how to explain it, but as listener you expect him to go certain way with his voice and he always does something beautiful and tasty, something extra that will keep your attention.
I appreciate you! :D
Awesome video! Evergrey is a great band. You have to analyze some song from Pain of Salvation! I suggest “Sister”.
Of course yes. I remember like it was today, Pain of Salvation playing Be. Sister is also amazing.
Forgot to add that while this was the first single they released from the new album it was the last in the story. They released all three in reverse chronological order so to get the complete story you should watch Blindfolded, Midwinter Calls and then Save Us. Hope you check out more of their songs in the future 👍🏻😃
One of my favorite bands. Amazing live, amazing on record.
Elizabeth, you’ve only gone and done it-you’ve taken the lid off the Evergrey Box! No going back now, there’s so much goodness to come if you look into their music further!
I’ve been a fan for years and caught them live once. Just outstanding. And so underrated. Why don’t more people know about Evergrey?
Tom and the guys in this band have pure talent. Thanks so much for your reaction. Lovely to listen to and watch, your enthusiasm is so lovely and infectious!x
Evergrey is a truly underrated band that has been around for a long time. Tom is a true professional. Glad to see you enjoyed them. Hope you explore more of their catalog.
You’re in for a hell of a journey with this band.
I've been an Evergrey fan since I moved to Sweden (from Denmark) almost 20 years ago and I simply LOVE it all :-D
Unbelievable you did find Evergrey 👏🏻 You really do a nice review week every week. I love the mixture of to sum it up great music not mainstream radio music. And that's why I am always waiting for your reviews. Thanx for the time you spent to do these reviews. And of course it would be a commen of me, if I wouldn't ask for a review on Skunk Anansie or Nina Hagen. Naf said
I just knew she'd dig these guys!
FINALLY! Thank you for listening, I've been telling you to check them out for a long time! This is a happy day!
Englund owns the most beautiful voice of metal. No grunting, no screaming, no overacting.
Woo! I've been waiting for a Tom/Evergrey reaction for awhile now lol. Fun fact about this album, the "chorus" parts are actual recordings of fans singing! First heard of Evergrey from Ayreons 01 album back in 2008, and been hooked ever since. I've got to recommend I'm Sorry or A Touch of Blessing
I am so incredibly THRILLED that you are exploring Evergrey, one of my absolute favorite bands! Tom Englund's vocals are fantastic!
Evergrey is my favorite band of all-time. "Save Us" just never did anything for me after many listens. This video changed my perception. The chorus in particular awesome!
Thanks for the breakdowns. Always love your excitement at all types of music and voices. One Suggestion for a Reaction: Twelve Foot Ninja - One Hand Killing
Tompa is an original vocalist for sure, he's soulful and melds his lyrics into the music flawlessly! Thanks for the video reaction!
I'm a huge Evergrey fan..."Save Us" is mind-blowingly epic. Its an anthem for sure....wow
Woah, you brought my attention to Evergrey and I love every song of that album! They're now right next to Soilwork for me which is another underrated band. I think their song "Dreams of Nowhere" would be a worthy contender for an analysis. 🙂
Their use of dynamics and contrast is masterful
Yes!!! One of the best band in my 3 best. Fantastic music with great vocals!!!
Essence of Conviction is one of Tom's best demonstration of his glorious voice.
The best comment I read about Tom Englund was „Tom‘s voice is so emotional, if he would sing about burnt toast, you would feel it“
You should also check out ‚Silent Skies‘. Vikram Shankar on piano combined with Toms voice doing magic together. They covered Eurythmics „Here comes the rain again“, a song I never liked, and made it fantastic and I love it.
Hi there Elizabeth, Evergrey fan here thank you for your reaction it’s a blessing that you have discovered them, I’m so happy about that ok but your journey doesn’t stop there you must react to part2 Midwinter Calls and the grand finale Blindfolded all three songs are based on a story!!!
And here’s a list of other videos you must check out as well:
1 A Touch Of Blessing
2 For every tears that falls (live version)
3 King Of Errors
4 Distance (Evergrey version)
5 All I Have
6 Weightless
7 Where August Mourn
8 Eternal Nocturnal
9 A Paradox Of The Flames
And my two favourites Leaden Saints and Run
Thanks regards Nicholas Hebert😊🤘
Evergrey! my favourite band. Found them when they released album The Inner Circle (a masterpiece btw.) in 2004 and never looked back. They are the band I saw live the most and I can't wait for the upcoming tour.
Silent Skies had completely passed me by. Thank you for this reaction, as fascinating as always and as a bonus, I'm in for an epically melancholy afternoon!
Glad to see Evergrey get some exposure, especially with a new album coming out. However, Inner Circle, The Atlantic are so damn good, that I think there were plenty of better options, vocally and as a song in general, to check out. I hope she gets back to them soon.
Thank you so much! I learned about EVERGREY when they just released "The Inner Circle" in 2004. I fell in love immediately. Please, do yourself a favor and listen to all of their records, espacially the last three, and, of course, the latest, from which this song is taken from. Everything Tom has done in his career is outstanding.
It´s amazing how you make your audience appreciate the music and the vocalists even more. Your way your explaining everything you experience, is just amazing. I love how much you enjoy yourself and express your emotions. I just love watching you do what you do.
I discovered Evergrey about the same time. I think it was the video to "A Touch of Blessing" that was my first exposure to them. They haven't really released a bad album, and they've done a great job of remastering some of the old ones. They are in, I suppose you'd call, a "golden era" at the moment. They've pretty much hit it out of the park with every release since Hymns. Criminally underrated considering just how good their music is.
@@insparks782 Yup. It was definitely "A Touch Of Blessing" for me. The video, the dramatic...then the whole album...I was hooked. Great musicians, criminally underrated. I´ve been to every possible concert they gave, snice I know them, met them a few times, and in close contact on every social media possible. Promoting their Music whenever possible.
I first encountered Evergrey with the Inner Circle album and Tom has been one of my favorite melodic voices in metal ever since. Awesome to see this analysis. You should check out the song In Orbit that featured Floor Jansen, their voices work really well together
Hello . Band Evergrey always provides a new story, reading books and listening to this band's music is a real journey. Just get on with it!
You're great with your comments, too. It's always a pleasure for someone with such a musical education to make great comments , I wish you all the best !
Revisiting this in October 2023 just to say Evergreys 14th studio album is in the works and I for once am super amped for it!
Hello i m very happy to see you reacting to Evergrey and specially Tom. I followthis band from the start. Tom have is own project with silent skies and it s very beautiful to heard. Also i one day you want tontake a look to 2 bands with very good singers: Sleep token (singer is unamed) and Tesseract ( Daniel Tompkins) . Have a good day. Ciao from France
I’ve been listening to Evergrey for years. The instrumental and vocals are all amazing. Saw them live too, nice guys. Very talented band for sure!
I'm so glad you got around to Evergrey. Easily one of my favorite bands, and one that doesn't get as much love as it should. Evergrey, and especially Tom, are incredibly evocative and emotional in their music, and I hope that you take some time to explore them. I only have one song to be aware of, and maybe to avoid entirely, because it's from the perspective of a man who loses his daughter in (presumably) an accident. As an expecting mother yourself, it could hit pretty close to home. The song is called "The Dark I Walk You Through," from the album Monday Morning Apocalypse.
Again, thanks for checking them out. 🧡
Great review. Long time Evergrey fan. They way you broke down how Tom emphasizes and manipulates the ends of words made me realize it's one of his signatures and why his vocals are unique and so damn good. Tom's an interesting person as well, you should hook him up for an interview.
Hi Elizabeth, please make some time available for a new Evergrey analysis! Their new album is AMAZING and you will love the opening track and first single of the album "Falling from the Sun". Evergrey's music is trully amazing, they never, never, disappoint....and the vocals from Tom are magnificent as always.
