Longing for the end
Can’t play pretend
When you’re all alone in a crowded room
Wounded on the road
Left in the cold
When will I see through the light
Wounded on the road
Left in the cold
When will I see through the light
You’re at the start of the end,
Feels like you've done it all
To stay away from these demons you battle,
All alone x3
I know it's hard to forget the pain, and leave it all
So let go of your fears,
You’re not alone,
I’m right here.
And I will tell you to hold my hand, cause together we could stand.
You’re at the start of the end, feels like you’ve done it all
And though you try to pretend, to fit in on your own
I know it’s hard to forget the pain, and leave it all
So let go of your fears,
You’re not alone,
I’m right here.
And I will tell you to hold my hand, cause together we could stand. - Видеоклипы
Hey guys! Sorry we didn't make it to the premiere, would have loved to have your guys reactions live but we're on tour in the US right now.
Here are the lyrics for you all!
Longing for the end
Can’t play pretend
When you’re all alone in a crowded room
Wounded on the road
Left in the cold
When will I see through the light

You’re at the start of the end,
Feels like you've done it all
To stay away from these demons you battle,
All alone x3
I know it's hard to forget the pain, and leave it all
So let go of your fears,
You’re not alone,

And I will tell you to hold my hand, cause together we could stand.
Amael is like II from Sleep Token. He takes this masterpiece, which is a beautiful, melodic, ethereal, ear-pleasing song, and he says "Oops, I just recorded the track for a total banger!"
We DESPERATELY need this Gospel version streaming on Apple Music! And the music video! Amazing work!
I don't understand why they didn't add this direct version to the EP, it sounds much better with the gospel vocals.
Iyo
You have to really appreciate that this band writes, mixes and masters their own music to create these incredible and unique sounding compositions. These levels of technicality in their writing, playing, singing, and the overall 'feel' to their music in my opinion is a rare commodity in the music industry today. They're absolutely killing it!!
It is pretty cool that they produce their own music. I think the snare and kick on this song sound better than the previous songs. Sounds more like real drums.
The boys from Periphery produce their songs too, yk
Erra did that up until their last album.
wish they had a producer to be honest.
true authenticity in a washed out scene
Put this version on Spotify, that ending is absolutely amazing.
Fantastic! Camille has a beautiful voice! NOVELISTS COME TO BRAZIL! 🇧🇷
Irmão, moro fora e os vi na Suíça... sensacional, tenho certeza que vão tocar no Brasil logo menos igual o Spiritbox.
Po tomara que venham mesmo, esperando isso desde 2012 kkkk COME TO BRAZIL NOVELISTS, WE LOVE YOU
aqui em casa todo mundo escuta eles
querendo ou não USHAUHUAHUSHAUSHUA
@@Fabandy88 uma pena que nem todos vão poder pagar para ir no show! mas é incrível que estão voltando com o ROCK nos eventos
A Camille respondeu um comentário da Patotinha do Core dizendo q logo menos, tem q agitar as redes sociais de organizadores pq eu tbm quero mto essa banda aqui ♥
Saw them in Atlanta with ERRA and they should NOT have been an opening band, it was one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. I will forever support this talented group of people!!
Yeah I thought they’d at least be the second opener of the night. Wasn’t a huge fan of this new era of novelists until seeing it live
Im going june 2nd mainly to see THEM!!! I cannot wait.
I was there are the masquerade that night. They were better than the other 3 bands. Incredible performance
@@W1seOwl7 I agree!!!!!
I was there too! They killed it
I am 40 years old. I have been suicidal since 14 years old. I never acted on it because I did not want to hurt my parents. I then had kids. I couldn't leave them either. So I have stayed. Now, my parents are dead and my kids are adults. I can finally go. I know they will be ok. I have been battling this for a few years now. I'm just so tired of fighting it.
I needed to hear this song. Thank you. I am goin going to stay.
im a simple man, i see novelist and i clicked but i see camille and im in love
We vote this the best video and song of 2024!
your music is the tops
Novelists are the definition of talent. I love this band so much. Can't believe it took me this long to run across their music. Metalcore, folk rock, alternative, they somehow manage to make it all sound so damn good together.
And rnb gospel jazz too❤😊
Folk rock? What?
They are diverse in music
3:58 That ending just emotionally obliterated my soul 😭😭😭 it's so powerful and beautiful holy shit
Those first few seconds of Camille singing in her lower register was the instant hook in this song for me. Beautifully haunting, melancholic, somber, and so full of hope all at once. Another amazing song Camille and Novelists!
Would like to hear this version on other streaming platforms! Please!??? This is sooooo cool!!!
This song is absolutely beautiful. Perfect for a man like me with a beautiful wife who literally saved my soul. The power of a woman’s words can change your life. Thanks for such an incredible song!
The metal giants from France are amazing and unique. Excellent musicianship
Her voice is absolutely amazing, i'm so happy the band is getting better and better. Keep going!
F.R.E.A.K.I.N A.W.E.S.O.M.E. The song itself. The vocals. The samples. The idea of the mucic video. The production of all this. A freak in master piece. Love it.
This really has that signature novelists emotion and melody. This is so interesting and so good!
Camille's voice is something else! There is no female metal artist that can clean vocals like her ❤️
I definitely hear Hayley Williams in her vocals xd
@@SOYUSE she did say Hayley Williams was a big influence on the knotfest interview she did recently 👌🏻
@@lbdrumming4423 and that's cool!
@@SOYUSEagreed dude 🙂
Courtney LePlante
What an incredible addition to the lineup! Camille's voice is absolutely spectacular.
Novelists are an instant-click for me. Absolutely stunning!
She keeps winning me over, just a whole new dynamic the band needed
She's so good live too, I just saw them in Houston last week and they were incredible! Got a picture with her and an autographed t shirt that's going up on the wall!
The evolution of this band has truly been incredible!
The amount of creativity Camille has brought into the band is astonishing, that is what the band was lacking for so long: identity.
Matteo gave it plenty identity, and was clearly vastly superior.
@@nichan2475 after Souvenirs the band was starting to turn into Kroegercore with him, that's why we have Sal3m now.
now that's a load of bs
@@ReprogrammedToHate Don't know what you are trying to express.
I've listened to this song maybe a good 1000 times already, and that last act of the song still still gives me chills every time.
Wow this is a movie soundtrack - such a beautiful evolution for the band!
Love all the Novelists eras but love so much Camille voice.
What a talented band! Love you guys!
Camille needs to stay with this band for a long long time 🤘
Fire!! I wish the whole band was in the back too the whole band as a whole is perfect!
can't stop listening to this maserpiece. shout out to novelists
I am so on fire for Novelists. This band continues to impress me with their instrumental talent, song composition, melodies, energy, and innovation. I love how big of a swing they took with this music video and it is so unlike the endless copycat metalcore bands in the scene today. 100% kudos to these guys, they have such a promising future and cannot wait for the album!!!
Couldn't have said it better!
I so agree!! I'm actually one of the rare fans who really started to like the band on the previous singer. It's absolutely bananas I think I might like this incarnation even more!! I really wish they would put out a record and do a PROPER album rollout though. The new single every few months is cool, but I really prefer albums, and this is why. Albums are snapshots into that specific time period of said band. These songs are so sick right now I'm dying to hear a complete record of THIS sound. A lot would argue that this new way of doing singles makes a ton more sense as you can be way more calculated with it. See what's working, see what people are digging and fine tune it on the next track. I'm for and against that as I actually agree with that sentiment as it does make sense! I'm against it though because I think it might actually take away more than it gives. The best music isn't ever tailor made. It happens out of people connecting at a moment in time artistically and creating something out of that. I LOVE seeing bands progress from album to album and I miss that when it's just singles.
this girl plus this guitarrist... amazing ! realy!
Camille‘s voice fit‘s perfect… simply a masterpiece, emotional, unique and hard. It‘s cool, that the band gives her the space in the (also) very nice video.
Goosebumps all the way to the end!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely love what you guys have been doing lately! This world needs art like this. Thank you!
Version gospel for studio plz
That ending is spectacular 🤩
Absolutely incredible! Novelists have so much variation but stays Novelists. Camille's voice is stunning
Camille is so enchanting. ❤🦄
I absolutely love this band. Such amazing talent and a supreme dedication to the craft. Blessings
You guys are absolutely amazing, I can’t wait til your new album comes out. I’ve had mourning the dawn on repeat 😊
thanks for visiting TEXAS!!! You all were amazing and need to come back soon! I got six songs that night, next time we will get twelve.
I was a little sad how short their set was, but they still absolutely killed it. Camille is a beast.
Saw them in San Antonio. Best band on the lineup. I said what I said.
@@AMusicalPsychosisagreed. I was there too! Luckily I recorded some of it, it went by so quickly!
@@AMusicalPsychosis Idk if I agree with that since that lineup was pretty stacked (Make Them Suffer especially), but I was so glad to see Novelists do such a great set.
Can this be a coincidence that my lifetime idea was fulfilled my this amazing modern metal band?? i always wanted to do live performance type video. and you nailed it guys. i think this is the way all music should be released. this is amazing. i adore this divine sound of you guys
This one is my favorite of the last few singles, absolute kino vibes.
Loved so much that it is with live vocals, just amazing! I hope to see more of these, and of course, AWESOME SONG! I WANT THIS ALBUM GUUYSSSSS!!!
Camille has one of the best voices I've heard
I'm shocked this hasn't hit 100k yet. This song is a fucking masterpiece and this band is a legend. The band has always been amazing, but this new vocalist takes them to new levels baby!!! Fucking love this!!
I agree 👍💯
Amazing voice, amazing song, amazing coreography. ❤❤❤
Absolutely shredded this song! Shows how powerful Camille clean vocals truly are! Let's go! Novelists doesn't miss a beat!
Just amazing; I can't find words to express my feelings. Novelists is an outstanding band.
i wasn't expecting such a beautiful song 😱🖤🖤🖤
France dropping hits in different styles: Novelists, Alcest… pure art this song and the videoclip!
Absolutely incredible song writing and performance! This era of Novelists with Camille is so good
Again an amazing new title that got me really emotional! Camille brought the band to a whole new level. Can’t wait for more !!!
I just can't stop listening to this song
This is AMAZING.
Love the overlapping of genres, it works so well!
How could this band get better and better as time passes???
We need this version on Spotify.. !
Merveilleux! Ça me rappelle Monochrome. Camille et le band devraient refaire cette chanson. C’est un chef d’œuvre ✔️
Ha mon avis, ils ont définitivement fait une croix sur ce qu’ils étaient avant… maintenant tous le groupe, l’image, le son… tout est orchestré autour de la nouvelle chanteuse… c’est définitivement fini l’époque de Monochrome, souvenir etc… 😢
@@juliencrtx4790 effectivement, le band veut aller et va de l’avant mais au fond de nous on souhaite tous des rééditions de cette époque légendaire.
@@kevenrivard8719 ca dépend, si c’est pour refaire l’album « a la version » de Camille… perso ça ne me dit pas du tout.. au contraire, jspr qu’ils toucherons pas aux chefs d’oeuvres que sont leurs premiers albums. Désolé, j’était très très fan de Novelists et je suis très déçu de ce qu’ils sont devenu.
You guys are absolutely killing it rn. Please don’t stop! This feels like the days of Novelists I loved back with Noir. Camille you rock!
We need monochrome in your voice camille plss ❤❤❤
All the songs with Camille have been great but this is just another level. The songwriting hit a new peak here, the way everything ties together is stunning. Just wow. The vocals in this.. I mean the whole thing but 3:50 onwards is pure gold.
I love the old Novelists, but Camille joining the band is so cool: She can sing, she can dance, etc. You guys are so fkin great artists!
Love you!!!😊
Le son que je préfère depuis ce changement. J'ai du mal à croire que ça a duré 5 min. C'est passé tellement vite que j'en redemanderais. 🖤
Tremendoooooooooo ! a ver cuando se pasan por argentina ! ! ! !
Camille is amazing her lows at the beginning of the song so on point 🥵
Mind blowing 🤯 Novelists is freshness at all levels
Vivement des concerts en France ! 🤘🏻
WHAT did I just witness?! My goodness. New fan alert.
J'aime tellement quand les bands font des chansons pour ouvrir les sets de concerts ! Generalement you can feel it and you dream about it.. then..!
Camille and the band. Thanks for this. Song of the year for me. Oozes melody, it has technicality and the choir addition makes it next level.
Camille your voice is so amazing so also is the music love u❤❤ keep it up wishing you the very best in your upcoming songs can't wait to hear more
I really LOVE this song!
Wow, first time hearing this band and Camille has some absolute pipes on her! Wow.
Just another banger from new novelists 🔥🔥🔥
Camille, I love you forever, this wonderful 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Dropping by again to say I love absolutely everything about this.
when this popped up, i knew id listen to it about seven times without thinking but it was more than that
you guys are amazing. can't describe my feelings, this is a pure art. thank you so much.11!!!!!!!
Yeah... Melodic Novelists is the OG
once again, i can't stop listening to this song, this band , such an amazing band an voice ... hope the best on this band i love it 😍
El comentario en español que estaban esperando. Camille, te amo! Novelist, por favor nunca se separen.
I didn't even realize these guys were Christian. I like them even more now. This song is amazing
What makes you think they're a Christian band?
@@iamrichlolthey aren’t?
@@Prunejuice928 i never said they were
Christian - they are not.
I think I understand. The gospel is a music style, not a religion.
One of our band influences thanks for coming to Houston. Was nice to meet y’all guys 🤘🏼
Amazing band! ❤
Amazing 🤩 thank you for this masterpiece
Gospel backing vocals ❤
Bordel que c'est du lourd ! C'était sur que ce line up la, ça allait pondre que des pépites !
В минулому році Novelists стали для мене відкриттям. Банда просто вогонь, дуже унікальна серед груп схожого напрямку.
👏👏👏
My favorite band 😍🤘🏼🔥
honestly,, spectacular, your live sound is unbelievevable, massive team effort im guessing,, but whoever manages your soundscape,, that person,, needs a HUGE bar of chocolate because their possibly the best sound engineer ever! they make you go next level
5:16 "Music written, recorded, mixed and mastered by NOVELISTS" ;)
Love it!
🥹 It's so beautiful! Absolutely love it and the other singles. And the vocal performance 😩👌 You guys were amazing in Las Vegas last night! Thank you!!
My favorite band of all time
This is straight heat🔥
Need this version on Apple Music please 🙏 that ending is amazing
Beautiful ❤
YES!!!!! THIS IS THE ONE I NEEDED TO HEAR!!!!!
Incredible!
