With the bewitch line - Tobias LOVES multiple meanings in songs, so the "be with/bewitch" definitely means the love song seduction angle, as well as the song's subject being literally bewitched.
The song is actually about a couple afflicted with the plague partying the night away before they die in excruciating pain.... yeah, Ghost is good at thematic discrepancies lol
Each of Ghost's albums have a theme, the album this is from has a theme of a plague hitting the world. This song is was inspired by during the black death, when the plague would reach town, the brothels and beer halls and what not would fill up with people getting wasted and getting their last joy out of life before the Plague wiped out the community. The album was released in 2018, and Ghost toured in support of the album with their last scheduled show taking place in March of 2020, days before the world went into full lock down for the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dance Macabre was my Spiritual Awakening. My friend invited me to the concert and i had never heard them I only listened to them once a bit to feel the vibe but i hadn't really till i went. I was vibing with a cold the whole time but this song came on, the disco lights, the confetti, the dancing, it all came together and I swore i felt something resonate in my soul and I was like. I want to listen to this band I want to love this band. Haven't stopped listening to them since February. I just have been slowly going through each album and just really appreciate the music and the lyrics got into the lore of the band. I want to go again but this time as a full fledged Ghost Fan. Anyway Recomendations: Circe, Spillways, Gheleh/Zombie Queen.
If you like the backup vocals, you should listen to Per Áspera Ad Inferi live. The female backup vocalists (ghoulettes) are so clear and it adds a whole new level to the song. The only reason I say live is because the ghoulettes are part of the new line up to mark the newest “era” of Ghost and the first ghoulettes to sing backup and play instead of just playing an instrument.
Great Review... Ghost has sooo many great songs but Dance Macabre ... boy, this one is truely a masterpiece where literally everything was done legendary correct
Tobias is a musical genius! Always has tongue firmly implanted in cheek! But is a musical genius! The way he can trow something down that touches your nostalgia yet bring something new to it!!!!
I love this song! The lyrics in the video were a little off, though. The backing vocals in the pre-chorus actually say "cataclysm" and "armageddon" instead of "like this" and "I'm lovin it".
I've being in my first ritual last year, and if you think this song is sick, ou have no idea how it is live... just can't explain, you need to live it! They closed the show with Kiss The Go-Goat, Dance Macabre and Square Hammer as the encore, and the crowd simply couldn't stop jumping!
I LOVE your reaction to Ghost songs, it's exactly how I felt when I first heard them. You should watch the music video, it's the birth of Papa Nihil (not literal birth) You know what would top this? Respite on the Spittlefields the last song on Impera, it's a masterpiece
the backup vocals are actually "Armageddon, not "I'm lovin' it". that would be hilarious, though! And yes, Ghost creates INCREDIBLY sexy music, especially with their guitars and vocals.
Once again super reaction brother ! Thnx for all these Ghost reactionz they’re a lot of fun . If you’re going to do some more Ghost I think He Is especially the official video is pretty cool and if you go all the way back to the beginning Con Clavi Con Dio is insanely great I would do one from the 2022 tour it’s totally nothing like this song it’s very heavy with a fckn insane bass line . I know you’re a Christian and I respect that so I can’t tell you the English translation then you won’t do it 😂 Btw good luck trying to figure out they’re genre they’re all over the place !
Here’s a definition “dance of death, also called danse macabre, medieval allegorical concept of the all-conquering and equalizing power of death, expressed in the drama, poetry, music, and visual arts of western Europe mainly in the late Middle Ages.”
Hey Rockout! Noticed the lyrics in the middle (around 2:58) are wrong! It’s “don’t wanna end like this (cataclysm) there’s a sting in the way you kiss me (Armageddon)” just thought you should know!
Adding to the rest of the comments, the "sting" in the way she kisses him is a reference to him becoming infected with the plague through sharing breath/saliva (I'm not too sure what the main via of transmission for the black death was, but it's a nice detail :) )
Dude! Love your reactions to Ghost. As far as the "satanic theme" watch interviews with Tobias Forge. He says it's all tongue in cheek so take it with a grain of salt. You really need to do reactions to the following Ghost songs. Life Eternal Watcher In The Sky Respite On The Spitalfields.
React to Watcher in the Sky! Amazing song. This song though is what introduced me to Ghost and I love it. Also give Life Eternal a react, you'll get the chills!
Clearly Ghosts best song for me... you have to love the music and Tobias voice fits it all perfectly... the words are not quite as satanic but still bewitching...hahaha.....They sort of have a Blue Oyster Cult sound.
This is not about the devil but about the black death. People figuring they could be dead by the morning so partying like it's their last night because it just might be.
Yep, this album was all about the plague, and this song is about a couple who who may/may not have made it through the night. AND... the video is also all about the introduction of Papa Nihil and Sister Imperator (aka Prequel... look for the Ghost chapters available on youtube, they're a riot!!!). I look forward to many more years of humour, a bit of ghoulishness (NOT referring to the Ghouls but they're priceless!!!), fantastic music, and AWESOME live shows!!!! (and forget about the Satanic crap, Tobias is far more Spiritual than anything, and recognizes that history isn't always accurate in books..... )
With the bewitch line - Tobias LOVES multiple meanings in songs, so the "be with/bewitch" definitely means the love song seduction angle, as well as the song's subject being literally bewitched.

i've been learning a lot about Ghost intentions and how their minds work and i'm loving it
Is just perfection.
There is no a bad one.
Every song, every lyric. Every sound. Is perfection.
This song was my introduction to Ghost and down the rabbit 🐇 hole 🕳 i went and never came out of. 😊
Mine was Spillways!! 🖤🖤

The bass makes this song dancetacuar and has everyone's buttons wobbling
You can’t help but dance to this song
Dance Macabre was my Spiritual Awakening. My friend invited me to the concert and i had never heard them I only listened to them once a bit to feel the vibe but i hadn't really till i went.

It gets better and better the more I hear it. Even with all of the death of the subject matter, the life force is still strong! I love this song.

Tobias is a musical genius! Always has tongue firmly implanted in cheek! But is a musical genius! The way he can trow something down that touches your nostalgia yet bring something new to it!!!!
The hands up and "already" as the song began. YES! this is my entire experience of getting into Ghost. like "omg already we jamming?!"
Josh, I think your Ghost reactions are awesome, glad to have you as part of this big happy Ghost family! Keep rockin bro 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@MetalJosh_ you're welcome Josh, there's not enough people enjoying good music, and people like yourself bring it!!!!!
The next one needs to be SPILLWAYS!
You have to go to one of their concerts before Papa IV aka Cardinal Copia leaves the band.
Stoked to see another Ghost reaction! 🤘
Other Ghost songs you might like are Faith, Cirice, Spillways, and Hunter's Moon.
Definitely consider listening to Kaisarion, Spillways, or Call Me Little Sunshine!
I love this song! The lyrics in the video were a little off, though. The backing vocals in the pre-chorus actually say "cataclysm" and "armageddon" instead of "like this" and "I'm lovin it".

The background lyrics are wrong. Where it says 'Like this, Yeah.' And 'I'm loving it', it's actually "Cataclysm" and "Armageddon"
Ooh you’re right, didn’t know that! !🙏🙏
this is so important to me; it does not say "like this yeah/im loving it" it says "cataclysm/armageddon"
That's my favorite part of the song . The Cataclysm / armageddon gets me so bad each and every time .
I LOVE your reaction to Ghost songs, it's exactly how I felt when I first heard them. You should watch the music video, it's the birth of Papa Nihil (not literal birth)
You know what would top this? Respite on the Spittlefields the last song on Impera, it's a masterpiece
Ghost opened for Maiden on the 2017 The Book of Souls tour - epic!
SPILLWAYS OR GRIFTWOOD BROOOO ♥
You gotta see their music video for this songs it's fantastic
This is pretty much a "party in the end of the world" song.
As in everything is going down, let's enjoy whatever time we have left
years ago i made a wedding playlist this is listed under "first dance"
That riff... that riff!!! Guitarists' kiss!! 👌👌
the backup vocals are actually "Armageddon, not "I'm lovin' it". that would be hilarious, though! And yes, Ghost creates INCREDIBLY sexy music, especially with their guitars and vocals.
FINALLY YESSS THANK YOU
good reaction but you have to react with their official video friend because it is a great job of the band their videos too
"Ghost: I dunno where you've been my whole life fam..."
Yep, feel that
You need to listen to Monstrance Clock or From the Pinnacle to the Pit next
Im still waiting to hear your review/reaction to the LA concert/ritual you went to in Sept 2023...would love to hear about your experience 😊
Couldn't agree more...pure masterpiece.
Great reaction bro, love the energy and the effects! Looking forward to more!
Omg thanks for doing this ghost song! It's my favorite, my other favorite is life eternal 🖤
Try Cirice. They got a Grammy for it
Thissssss

Wow I love the way you're digging this. They do make me so happy!!!👻👻😈😈🤣💖💖🎵🎵🎵
Everyone reacting to ghost be like.."man, we've been sleeping on the job..."
Absolute gold track here!
Hey Rockout! Noticed the lyrics in the middle (around 2:58) are wrong! It’s “don’t wanna end like this (cataclysm) there’s a sting in the way you kiss me (Armageddon)” just thought you should know!
I'm so glad there's more ghost requests! I absolutely adore ghost and you should definitely check out mummy dust!
Great Reaction. Love it ❣️🤘🔥

My favorite ghost song! Please do He Is. It's a little different but so good.
Dude! Love your reactions to Ghost. As far as the "satanic theme" watch interviews with Tobias Forge. He says it's all tongue in cheek so take it with a grain of salt. You really need to do reactions to the following Ghost songs.
Life Eternal
Watcher In The Sky
Respite On The Spitalfields.
It's a club song! Dance time!
React to Watcher in the Sky! Amazing song. This song though is what introduced me to Ghost and I love it. Also give Life Eternal a react, you'll get the chills!
Definitely recommend Kaiserion
Clearly Ghosts best song for me... you have to love the music and Tobias voice fits it all perfectly... the words are not quite as satanic but still bewitching...hahaha.....They sort of have a Blue Oyster Cult sound.
This is not about the devil but about the black death. People figuring they could be dead by the morning so partying like it's their last night because it just might be.
It's pronounced with the "bre" silent. Like corn on the cobb.
It pretty much ballad. A favorite, sometimes reminds me of the scorpions.
Cirice should be your next one! I think you will like it!
Next reaction( VOICE OF BACEPROT) band rock metal 3 HIJABERS from 🇮🇩 (VOB)FULL SET LIVE AT PASIWALI FESTIVAL10/23/2022 🤟 AMAZING THE BEST
I'd actually want you to react to this song live
Next reaction( VOICE OF BACEPROT )band rock metal 3 HIJABERS from 🇮🇩( VOB) FULL SET LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR 2022 🤟 AMAZING THE BEST 🤟🤟🤟
No love for the ghoulette on the tambourines?
Hear please the song of Ghost: Cirice
Yep, this album was all about the plague, and this song is about a couple who who may/may not have made it through the night. AND... the video is also all about the introduction of Papa Nihil and Sister Imperator (aka Prequel... look for the Ghost chapters available on youtube, they're a riot!!!). I look forward to many more years of humour, a bit of ghoulishness (NOT referring to the Ghouls but they're priceless!!!), fantastic music, and AWESOME live shows!!!!
