It's really impressive how this song can be very easy to listen, with so many AOR moments, but still prog as hell. Seventh Wonder is amazing!
I don't think that there are AOR here. It's more pop music because Tommy's voice .
@jasper426 Album Oriented Rock. It's those catchy classic rock bands like Journey and Foreigner
I'd say this is like easy listen option for Dream Theater.
I never get tired of this song. It gets better each time you listen. SW are technically so good, but they also have humor and emotional range, not just virtuosity.
I'm another Kamelot fan who made my way here… and I'm impressed. Way to go, guys. You are an amazing band!
I'm an Ayreon Fan who became a Tommy Karevik Fan, who became a Kamelot fan... and now has become a Seventh Wonder fan
Did you listen to Symphony X ? They stole great riffs from them. 😜
Usually not a fan of power metal vox but damn this dude can sing and has an amazing voice. It doesn't seem over the top like so many clean vocalists in the genre. You guys have a new fan.
Yep.
I just hate the ignorant people claiming good music died in the 80's and 90's
Great music is out there!
One of the best vocals of the world , what an amazing voice and what a wonderful singer who knows how to sing not just scream like crazy 😭🥰🥰
Still can't get enough of Tommy with these guys and Kamelot, absolutely incredible voice

Man that lead guitarist is something else
The drummer is my dad
Hey, Johnny boy! Best regards to The Legend!
No need to brag about me Illian!! 😁♥️
@@ille2595 Yes, there totally is!
Serious? What a Dad! 😊

i always loved how metal is, for the comon belief of people, being kind of weird always wearing black, singing devil songs and all that stuff which clearly is not always right, and then here we are, with a lot, A LOT of songs singing for girls to come back, or even love songs, and it is quite funny on live performances, at least here in argentina, when bands like kamelot, sonata arctica, nightwish maiden come to play there are plenty of big sweaty smelly men, singing their hearts out for this love songs, live long metal, and in DIO words, WE ROCK
+Agus G Its pretty crazy Metal has been given a bad vibe in modern culture ill give you a pretty scary truth from the UK in all festivals held in the UK there has been reported rapes apart from one, the Download Festival which is a rock/metal/punk festival we may be outcasts but we have morals and decency no matter what society thinks!
Argentina one of the best crowds ever, in december going to south america and of course going to argentina Bariloche I really want to go to tha place, any hints are more than welcome my metal friend.
"big sweaty smelly men", and fat, don't forget to say they are fat 😂
Those bands wouldn't be considered metal in the US. They're considered rock or classic rock, and so is Seventh Wonder who are considered in the same genre as Greta Van Fleet.
When you say metal to people in the US, they're thinking about death metal, black metal, and hardcore.
@@minniepax1654 then what do you call Progressive metals like Dream Theaters, etc, who are from the US too, which are far more advanced and faster than those where you can't even jump or shake your head.
A very special voice. Perhaps the greatest talent to come around in awhile.
progressiveness, skill, a little talent, drive and passion. these are the components to making great music; and these guys have it!
Haven't listened in a few years. Put it on today and I'm on number 8 in a row. I didn't realize I love this song! I keep saying just one more time. It is a special song. Thank you Seventh Wonder!
I've just accidently stumbled across this band.I am so glad I did.Fantastic!!
In a parallel universe, this is mainstream pop, the stuff you hear on the radio. Sad now ?
Anyone 2020 during lockdown
im 2020 no time capsule required. whats up?
That smile is killing me ❤😍
I'm listening this for the first time. I'm a big fan of Kamelot and I came here to check this out. I'm high af and I'm staring at the keyboard for several minutes and I don't know what to say. This is strangely f*cking dope! 🤯
At first, my gf introduced me this song, and I was like, "meh..." but now that she's gone... I just can't stop listening to.. Amazing song, by the way.
The bassline is absolutely lovely 💕
I'm from Malaysia fans, I liked every heavy metal genre especially power metal, progressive metal and symphonic metal. I liked Tommy Karevik's voice whether he's from Kamelot or Seventh Wonder because both of them are different bands, different styles and very technical amazing great singing voice, keep it up Tommy.
Tommy is amazing here and in Kamelot
+Neeko I find his style in Kamelot much more interesting, his using both high and low notes. I think Kamelot style actually makes his voice show it's true colors :D
:D i also love how he also keeps the emotion that Roy had so that old kamelot feel is still there ^^
+Neeko In an recent interview he said that he listened to all Kamelot tracks so he could play a bit like the "old Kamelot" but he also stated that he didn;t want to sing like Roy but to put his fingerprint
indeed and i have noticed that :) i gotta give Tommy a lot of credit for his vocal range.
+Nana if tommy sang and recorded fourth legacy and karma songs I'd be so fucking happy
They are amazing, great progresive metal band, they should come to México once...
This is seriously some beautiful masterpiece. Reminds me a lot of Dream Theater actually. The sound is incredible!
Technical Pop Metal. I'm not even mad. This is amazing.
hahahah agreed
Excellent description of this musical style. \m/ Seventh Wonder is allowed to make as many Tech Pop Metal songs as they wish.😁
nope...prog metal
@@useralberto Nope ! It's Chuck Testa !
It's prog
04:05 it is one of the best solos I've already heard
I'm straight and all, but... Tommy can be my alley cat any time!
haha that's so sweet
Haha, your comment just uplifted my foul mood! Thanks, mate, may you live long and proper!
Haha I love this comment
you'll have to share him with me tho haha
Tommy the cat
That voice! And that face! Damn, I'm so in love right now.
Wow, Tommy is such an awesome singer... doesnt matter wether he sings for kamelot or for seventh wonder.. his style is brilliant... and THIS Band deserves more support! Love Tommy..!
When I stumbled onto this song on YT couple of yrs ago...I was hooked...Looking forward to the next album...Soon I hear...
T Bartlett wgat do you think of it?
Wow this is the best quality music video I've seen in a metal band for a while. No cheap special effects, just clean playing fun.
Here on Seventh Wonder, in every songs we can see that he Tommy has more vocal freedom, he goes further tahn in Kamelot, where he has to fit what Kamelot used the fans to... I really enjoy both bands as far as they keep true to themselves and we can hear tommy in several types of sound
Agreed
I think it shows just how much range he has as a singer overall.
Robert MacIntosh
For sure. One singer that can achieve different sonorities, and keep real to itself shows how great he is. There are a few vocalsists that can play in almost any metal style or other style of music without we notice a major difference between types. One of the singers I most admire is Mats Leven, he can achieve a more harsh vocals, melodic ones, alternative ones, more elaborated and I like all his work. With Tommy Karevik is starting to happen the same, I like either Kamelot or Seventh Wonder, even in Ayreon he shows his quality
At the least the old tommy is not dead yet. His performance on Ayreon's The Theory Of Everything is truly remarquable..
I've got a broken heart and a broken smile
When I fall I get up even if it takes a while
Seeking shelter in the ghost of Elvis
And all of the magic Michael left this world
And I ain't leaving even if I know that
Sometimes I drive on the wrong side
Somehow I'm terrified
Some days I will stray inside to cover that I've cried
Being twice as sorry because I've lied
Such a sad looking clown
In a world upside down
Astray in the alleys of this town
There's but one little sun
Where she can safely run
When she comes undone
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat
You're my wire to the light
And my spark here in the still of the night
So baby let me stay where I'm at
In your sight I always feel alright
I'm right where I don't want to be
And it's a mystery
How the will to fit in is making me
A hole in history
And as long as I'm alive I won't be free
Sometimes I'm left on the outside
Somehow I got no pride
Some days I am trying to survive when I collide
Win an empty Jackie by my side
Such a sad looking clown...
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat...
Why me? I'm trying to find
A way to erase and rewind
Help me face my fears
Stay pulling strings my dear
Rule me like a puppeteer
Oh baby let me stay your alley cat...
Didn't even know there was a vid for this..
I’ve been a fan since the Great Escape Album came out. I saw y’all at ProgPower several years ago. You guys are the only metal band I can handle since I’ve become Christian. Hope you come to America again to play someday! 🙌 Thank you for sharing your talents with the world! 🙌
Such a well crafted and perfectly executed song.
Oh my god! You're awesome! I don't know what did I listen to before Tommy started to sing with Kamelot. This is what I'm looking for the whole day! God.. I even listened to Vivaldi today :O
This can be taken a step even further. Pop, in Pop Music, stands for Popular, and Metal today is Popular, so Metal is technically Pop Music.
What's the prob with his voice guys ? He's a freakin' great singer, and his voices matches perfectly with the song.. Saying that, you could not love his voice, but don't say he's a bad singer ;).
@QingLong90 i agree with u at one point, dream theater today sucks bad, but before 2002 they were the best ,the harmonies ,the vocals , the instrumental, everything was perfect.
If there are sweep arpeggios in the middle of a riff the song has to be good, and it was indeed!
Wow!!
This is the first time that I keep paying "all my attention" to the bassist !!
Just too awesome.....
But all of them are great !!
Screw all who say the opposite, Tommy has an amazing voice
It's an objective fact that he has an incredible studio and live voice. One of the best in the genre and is still consistently underrated
"Tommy has a bad voice" Said no one ever.
Khan will always be my favourite Kamelot singer but Tommy delivers Kamelot songs to a level which Khan did which is why I love Tommy being Kamelot's singer because he keeps the spirit alive.
Guitar/keyboard solos have a very Rainbow - Rising vibe to them. Fantastic!
what I meant to say is just that being a metaller or whatsoever doesn't mean appreciating just "true metal", but appreciating every kind of music AND particularly liking a metal style/genre/band
excelente banda,excelente vocalista,lo pude ver en la gira de kamelot,es increíble.
been 6 years since I heard this song...still its one of my favorite's ....
Bass players will always be underrated :/
im great Kamelot fan, but this band is magnificent :) keep up the great work guys
Never heard Kamelot or heard of Seventh Wonder until a few weeks ago. Now I'm glad I went to that Nightwish show!
I love no matter how they write their songs, they all sound like SW songs. Their style is what I have been waiting to hear after DT & SX have been stale
This is slowly becoming my favourite band.
in a perfect world this band would be bigger than Celine Dion! Seventh Wonder may your name be sanctified
Because your taste is the testament of quality and everybody else is just plain wrong?
I love this fantastic band! Thanks for the video! 👍👍😍
Wish this song and The Great Escape was still on Spotify. Why’d they take it off?
Edit: Also their bass player is just the biggest positive vibe ever. Just having the time of his life! Freaking love that energy!
It's back on spotify now
@@Zorra102 Thanks for letting me know! I actually saw it get re-added about a month ago or so. I got super happy that I could listen to these again!
Tommy's pop vocals drive me crazy! i love his voice so much!!
As for the band, got no words for them! they are too amazing
This is awesome! how could i never hear that?
+alevd14 Yeah, just saw this now also, great players, and the music is very melodic, awesome
Verry
I wish more metal had vocalists like this guy.
Try Teramaze
Gosh those Vocals.. damn.. this is so incredibly heartbreaking good!
Tommy is awesome!
to quote a Nightwish post, "old fans love Tarja, new fans love Anette, real fans love Nightwish" Old fans love Khan, new fans love Tommy, real fans love Kamelot
never heard of them before, actually sounds very good!
Everybody who's saying his voice is too stale: shut up, his voice is true pureness.
Тhanks guys for the music. This is a European - "Dream Theater".
*****
I'm with you on that one. It's really refreshing to have this vocalist's super clean voice accompany awesome riffs and chord progressions. He's got a lot of range. Usually you don't think of progressive metal with such a vocalist, but it's such a cool sound of it's own, I'm instantly hooked. Can't wait for more!
These guys definitively deserve more attention than what they get....
Ótima banda , bem montada , esses primeiros solos e acordes me lembra muito circus maximus e dream theater
A fusão perfeita do prog metal
Parece mais uma "copia" do solo de Sea of Lies de Symphony X.
Que progressivo é esse? Vi vários álbum da banda, o guitarrista é excelente. Tem um show ao vivo também.
Galera o que acham de Riverside?
Nossa, falou tudo. Total Circus Maximus mesmo. Valeu por lembrar dessa banda, vou até ouvir :D
Saw Kamelot last week in new orleans...Was the greatest thing I had ever seen.90% of that is because of Tommy,he has an incredible stage presence..an incredible voice..he can hit notes that Khan cant anymore and he is a very nice guy.Ive loved Kamelot for many many years and thought the band was going to be doomed after losing Khan.But Kamelot couldnt be any beter than it is now.
My brother, my friend and I went to see Kamelot just to set Tommy as well. We got VIP and dressed up in these Great Escape outfits. Tommy took a picture of us with his phone. 😊
I hear the influence of the band Saga in this song. Great tune.
ive been trying to find this song for sooo long, had the riff stuck in my head for ages, it finally came to me when a clip of me playing the riff came up on facebook after 7 years
I like Tommy much better in Kamelot where he looks more badass and mysterious and in this band he's more of an ordinary guy. Of course, his singing is fantastic in both bands.
I think the same :)
Laura G Wait a minute...Thomas from Kamelot, from Tampa? I knew him back in the early Kamelot days. I lived in Tampa . Goddamn, I wondered what he got up to since Kamelot. VERY glad to see him doing well and still blowing everyone the fuck away!
+Zentmeister Actually he sings for both, SW released a new song for the next album with him providing lead vocals ;)
+Laura G
I disagree. In Kamelot he always looks rather unnatural, because they keep airbrushing the hell out of him in videos and promotional materials. He looks like your typical run out of mill "mysterious vampire goth", and while I applaud the direction they took in their latest stuff, it still feels like they are trying too much to make him the next Roy Khan. In Seventh Wonder he's just doing what he does best in the most natural way. No fake persona, no adhering to stereotypes or the legacy of Roy Khan. Just pure Tommy Karevik and his progressive metal. Also, the beard. Yeah.
Rex Talbot Good insights. Yes, I think photoshoping and gothic style is too much. But when considering live shows then it's a matter of taste.
This is one of my favorite songs.
I was sick of heavy metal until I heard this! fresh!
Phil Moufarrege this is progressive metal tho, check dream theater and symphony x, you will probably like them
This is not heavy metal...
Listen to Circus Maximus Isolation album, also great band.
You should look up metal genres.
You'll uh... Probably get less sick of metal in general. :|
Guys, Phil was referring to the "big tent" definition of the genre, not a specific sub-genre or style. But anyways, Phil, glad SW brought you back to the family. \m/
They have something special that's for sure... but some of Kamelot's songs just chill me to the bone. And maybe I haven't listened to Seventh wonder enough to say that about them YET, but for now my heart belongs to Kamelot.
Oh that's bad. I'm liking this way too much. Gonna spend the following days listening to all their song ... xD
OH NOES :-O
:D
I was just at Kamelot's concert in Atlanta, and I asked Tommy when the next SW album would be released. He said next year, so fingers crossed!
Wow this is so huge.. What a masterpiece
I've loved Seventh Wonder ever since this song came out! 💙 I hope after this tour with Kamelot, Tommy will take a break and you guys will bring SW back full force! Love your amazing and unique prog music!!! 🎶
Their sounds reminds me to Europe…great band!...
Rodrigo Millan Reminds of Italy somehow
OMG They remember me to that band too.
His voice... I love it!!!!!!
Tommy's amazing. My jaw dropped open when I learned he never had formal training and was a fireman of all things.
Please, can't we stop with the Tommy/Khan comparisons? Tommy and Khan are very talented musicians in their own right and I love them both. Khan is gone and complaining won't bring him back, so what more can we ask for than a fantastic replacement like Tommy? He sounds great in Sacrimony and the live videos I've seen so far; I'm so stoked for Silverthorn.
I'm into Prog-death metal and I really want to say... this is pure beauty :)
I dont understand people saying that this is pop. Its just (in my opinion) a more catchy metal-song. And people saying kids dont like this type of music are wrong. Im 12 and i love this kind of music, pop and rap is for normies lol
sloobie “pop and rap is for normies” please don’t fall into that snobby way of thinking. music is music.
This is one of the best metal-tracks, I've ever heard!!! Impressive skills, beautiful chords - a genuine masterpiece.
I hope that in the next Kamelot album they let him go all out but without the overproduction on his vocals.
Yes! Hope so too.
Everyone is talking about GOOD music.. So relax.. we are all safe here, together :)
amazing
i listen to this song since released and everytime i cameback here i double press like button for the sake of liking, i can't believe it's almost 8 years ago , dont get me wrong i have the album but i like the music video.
Is this Tommy I didn’t recognize him at first he’s in my top ten favorite male vocalist.
Yes, it is his main band tehnically.
The whole band just so perfect and nice....rock on!!! Listener from Malaysia!!!
Awesome song, sounds a lot like circus maximus imo
No,they aren't.
Circus Maximus are different.
He said they "sound like" Circus Maximus not "They are" and he is correct.
Its the same vocalist? Always thing was kkkk
That band isnt Circus Maximus kkkkk try close your eyes kkkkkk and now? Kkkk
Their most perfect, divine and glorious album
wOAH! This is very good!
"smelly cat, merol cat. what are they feeding youuuu?!"
He has a good voice
Adult oriented progressive power metal? I love it!
Teenager Oriented Tech Metal
I love this song and Tommy as well ♥
Tommy is kinda attractive... lol
KIISwitch try supper sexy
He is hot
Kinda? He's hot af
@@yasming3979 I would say the same hahahahaha
Agreed good lord he’s hot.🥵
Gosh, this song takes me all the way back to freshman year of high school. First song I ever heard from these guys, back in 2011 when this had, like, 200,000 views if I remember correctly. Hard to believe I've already grown up since and been waiting this long for their new album.
how in the fucking hell is the bassist sweeping !
Check out Walking Tall ;)
Found these guys vioa ProgRock&Metal PRM radio. I love the musical composition and the vocals!!!
