    • @mastod0n1
      @mastod0n1 Год назад +1

      Kiss The Go-Goat, Dance Macabre, and Square Hammer were the encore songs when I saw them live. I think confetti was shot over the crowd during Dance Macabre and the whole amphitheater was dancing and moving. Very very fun show and I can't wait for them to do another show in my area.

    @The_Keh27 Год назад +19

    Every album has its own feel to it (which I'm assuming is why they go through different "Papas" through their career. The first song I heard by them was Dance Macabre when it appeared in a randomized spotify playlist and I loved it. Though didn't get into Ghost until a few years later when I met someone who is OBSESSED with them. Then I listened to the whole discography, and became a fan myself. I love how you get so into the music that you start dancing. Also appreciate that you wait to give your thoughts instead of pausing every few seconds (aside from the obligatory copyright pause).

  • @limozeen61

  • @1337rofl
    @1337rofl Год назад +5

    Nice video, as always! One of the ideas behind Square Hammer was that Tobias wanted an "opener", or a "Stadium opener". Seeing Ghost playing at an stadium opening with this song was absolutely awesome. So much power, and the audience went from 0 to 100 in one second!
    You should also check out Kiss the go-goat. Funny video :)

  • @K1bogam1
    @K1bogam1 Год назад +1

    Add "Hunter's Moon" pleeeeeeeaaze
    I've been to too many metal shows to list, but the production and quality of the Ghost show I went to blew me the hell away and made me an instant fan.
    I recently got an apartment and deliberately chose the bottom floor so my son and I can do the stomps Ghost does to Hunter's Moon while we jam on our guitars to it. This was more important than the frustration of hearing the noisy folks upstairs... You gotta cover a good live version, tho.
    Also yes, "Rats" is absolutely fantastic, and at the concert the light show went all amber each time they said "rrrratss" and my recent exe's name is Amber, so I get a chuckle now every time I hear it. 😂

  • @marionpoliquin5102
    @marionpoliquin5102 Год назад +19

    In the litteral text of the song, it is about asking someone to become an open and dedicated satanist. In the broader sense I see it as a call to commitment: the song is saying that if you really stand for something you should be able to support it openly and directly. It's asking people to stop being hangers-on (Hiding from the light, Sacrificing nothing) and moochers (Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine, You call on me for powers clandestine) and to really commit to the cause that's important to them and to give of themselves (That you're ready to stand right here, right now).

    • @alexion2001
      @alexion2001 19 дней назад

      Not disagreeing with the literal text as it certainly fits the occult/Satanist theme but I do want to point out that in a religious context "swear before the Devil" has about the same meaning as "swear before God" as breaking either vow results in eternal damnation.

    When Papa goes out on stage and people see him, they know *HES THAT GUY* and pay attention to him so much. The way he captures any audience so easily is almost terrifying!! When I first heard of them too, given their aesthetic, I expected heavy stuff! Seeing you groove to this song was super cute as always 😭Another song I suggest is "Rats" for good reasons!! 🐀

  • @dennypayne
    @dennypayne Год назад +3

    The intro to this song is my ringtone :-) And the chorus is such a MASSIVE hook - my fave Ghost song. "Ritual" and "Year Zero" will give you a good sense of earlier Ghost. But if you want a great deeper cut, I'd say go for "Respite on the Spitalfields."

  • @kenithsweet7956
    @kenithsweet7956 Год назад +16

    On the square" is a phrase commonly used by Masons to indicate honesty, fairness, and uprightness. When a Mason says "on the square," it means that they are acting in accordance with the moral and ethical principles of the fraternity, and can be trusted to be truthful and dependable.

    • @mickeyrube6623
      @mickeyrube6623 Год назад +4

      Exactly. It is used in all kinds of common English dialects. To "square up" means to divide everything evenly in a deal. It also means to fist fight in a proper way, is not a street fight, but fisticuffs. A square is a tool also used by masons, architects, engineers, graphic artist etc, to make sure everything is... well, square. Hard to believe this needs to be explained... it's as common as using words like "blind" to not literally mean blind.

    • @madraven3346
      @madraven3346 Год назад +1

      Yes. And "on the level" reinforces the point, "are you speaking plainly and directly"/"are you leveling with me"

    • @reddragonbrass
      @reddragonbrass Год назад

      You are correct in fact Tobias Forge is a Mason he claims not active he belongs to a lodge in Sweden in fact there is some controversy over a court case there Research if you wish, I belong to the fraternity myself and although there are Masonic references in the video and the song there is allot that doesn't fit, MASONS DON'T PRACTICE SATANISM. Square hammer is not referenced in Masonry. On the Square and on the level "may we meet on the level and part on the square."

    I'm 51, lifelong metalhead, no idea how many shows I've been to. Saw Amon Amarth open for Ghost this year-two of my absolute favorites-it was one of the best nights of my life. The energy at a Ghost show is just different. I don't know how else to say it.

  • @michaelwheeling7422
    @michaelwheeling7422 Год назад +1

    The lyrics are about Free Masons rituals the square and the level are carpenter tools. A square hammer is used in the ritual of rebirth. A person climbs into a coffin, it's nailed down with a square hammer. Then the lid is opened and there's rebirth when the person steps out.

  • @horizonblack
    @horizonblack Год назад +4

    I am, in fact, on the square and level. Ghost is gospel for those inclined. This may be a nod to the Freemasons. The square and level are building tools, and a metaphor/idiom for being honest. The mention of the shrine could be the Shriners, and Baphomet has a place in their lore.

    • @matthewharrison679
      @matthewharrison679 Год назад +1

      That's it exactly. In Freemasonry you have to believe in a "Higher Power" and the Swedish Rite (which, I believe, Tobias Forge is part of) it does not specifically exclude the devil. So this song is about declaring your intent, that you are swearing by The Highest Power you observe...

  • @Stupha_Kinpendous

  • @Clairevoyante
    @Clairevoyante Год назад +2

    I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that the chorus is a wink and a nod to Masonic Lodges at which you would apparently have these sentences said to you ("are you on the square, are you on the level"). The devil sentence is added for spice and plays with the Satanic theme of the band, and I think it's a brilliant choice for lyrics!

  • @buzbom1

    I love that you noticed he checked his hair after the bats flew by. This was the second song I heard after hearing "Rats" on the radio earlier that day.
    Needless to say I spent the rest of the day into evening traveling down the Ghost hole, and "It's a long waaaaaay down".
    That's a line from the third song I listened to: "From the Pinnacle to the Pit" If you like bass drivin rock songs, that one is awesome.
    If Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, and yes the master of macabre stories, Edgar Allen Poe(you mentioned) were still alive I'm sure they'd have Ghost on their song list.
    From the Pinnacle To The Pit, official vid. ruclips.net/video/6A-IoOEPbUs/видео.html&ab_channel=GhostBCVEVO
    Again, Tobias loves his classic early 1910's to the 1920's dystopian futuristic films. Hence one of his newest "The Twenties".
    A song that looks at the the decade of unrest, corruption, and the future rise of Hitler who tried to take over Germany and was imprisoned. That's how he met his future right hand men. The Prohibition in America(law against any and all alcohol) started 1920 for 13 crime and death filled years. Lead mostly by Al Capone. It also can be compared to what's going on now around the world during these 2020's.
    Genius.
    Anyways, lol, I'm rambling on here.
    Great reaction 🤘👍🤘

The energy of the band overall is outstanding in this live version.

    100% agree on the poetic aspect. Tobias' lyric writing has so many levels and references. On the video - I don't know if anyone else remarked on this - but go to 6:12 of your own video, and you'll see a red cardinal. That is a secret sign that Papa III (aka 'Terzo', who did Square Hammer) would be replaced soon by Cardinal Copia...

    I highly recommend Ghost's videos for Danse Macabre, He Is, and one of their very recent covers Jesus He Knows Me.

    Year Zero and HE IS, are both a must when it comes to this band, it only adds to the image and compliment the band further!
