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 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.
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.
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.
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! 🤯
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 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! 🙌
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..!
+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
+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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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
***** 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!
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!!! 🎶
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!
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.
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...
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 ;).
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
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/
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.
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!
+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.
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.
Man that lead guitarist is something else
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. 😜
Basically... He sounds like an angel and I enjoy everything about this band.
ColonelOfIntellect bandS
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.
Yep.
I just hate the ignorant people claiming good music died in the 80's and 90's
Great music is out there!
I'm another Kamelot fan who made my way here… and I'm impressed. Way to go, guys. You are an amazing band!
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've just accidently stumbled across this band.I am so glad I did.Fantastic!!
My favourite of their songs. Such great vocals.
Such a well crafted and perfectly executed song.
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.
Still can't get enough of Tommy with these guys and Kamelot, absolutely incredible voice
X2
A very special voice. Perhaps the greatest talent to come around in awhile.
I love them❤
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 😭🥰🥰
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 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! 😊
😄
That voice! And that face! Damn, I'm so in love right now.
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! 🤯
The bassline is absolutely lovely 💕
They are amazing, great progresive metal band, they should come to México once...
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!
This is seriously some beautiful masterpiece. Reminds me a lot of Dream Theater actually. The sound is incredible!
These guys definitively deserve more attention than what they get....
In a parallel universe, this is mainstream pop, the stuff you hear on the radio. Sad now ?
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! 🙌
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..!
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
Anyone 2020 during lockdown
im 2020 no time capsule required. whats up?
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?
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
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 !!
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.
This is one of my favorite songs.
04:05 it is one of the best solos I've already heard
been 6 years since I heard this song...still its one of my favorite's ....
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

This is just straight up get in the car and drive, good rock and roll.
I wish more metal had vocalists like this guy.
Try Teramaze
I love this fantastic band! Thanks for the video! 👍👍😍
Guitar/keyboard solos have a very Rainbow - Rising vibe to them. Fantastic!
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.
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
excelente banda,excelente vocalista,lo pude ver en la gira de kamelot,es increíble.
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
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
never heard of them before, actually sounds very good!
Älskar denna!! En av de bästa låtar jag någonsin hört...
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
The whole band just so perfect and nice....rock on!!! Listener from Malaysia!!!
Gosh those Vocals.. damn.. this is so incredibly heartbreaking good!
Tommy is awesome!

I think it shows just how much range he has as a singer overall.
Robert MacIntosh

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..
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
progressiveness, skill, a little talent, drive and passion. these are the components to making great music; and these guys have it!
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?
This is one of the best metal-tracks, I've ever heard!!! Impressive skills, beautiful chords - a genuine masterpiece.
Didn't even know there was a vid for this..
What a nice and nifty band. Very good!
If there are sweep arpeggios in the middle of a riff the song has to be good, and it was indeed!
Their most perfect, divine and glorious album
Тhanks guys for the music. This is a European - "Dream Theater".
*****

im great Kamelot fan, but this band is magnificent :) keep up the great work guys
His voice... I love it!!!!!!
Wow this is so huge.. What a masterpiece
Tommy's awesome.
And the song, too.
And the band, too.
Love you guys, ahah
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!
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.
Their sounds reminds me to Europe…great band!...
Rodrigo Millan Reminds of Italy somehow
OMG They remember me to that band too.
Seventh Wonder we are waiting for you guys in Chileeee!!
I hear the influence of the band Saga in this song. Great tune.
great band ! wonderful musicians! all of them!
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...
I absolutely love this song
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
I see this EVERY DAY!! epic song
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 ;).
Fan va bra. Det görs för lite sånt här nu för tiden.
amazing
Amazing musicians, awesome song!
wOAH! This is very good!
"smelly cat, merol cat. what are they feeding youuuu?!"
I am shocked ... just beautiful .... brilliant !!!
I am happy that there are musicians!
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
All time favourite!!
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
Everyone is talking about GOOD music.. So relax.. we are all safe here, together :)
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.
this song is epic cant stop listening to it
Same! I'm on number 10 in a row!
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/
So refreshing with smooth sound and tone. Great work Seventh Wonder.
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.

+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.
Couldn't agree more mate. Been a fan of these guys for a while now and singer aside, this bad incredible!
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.
WHAT a vocalist!
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.
