Lyrics: Overcast, the branches bare The autumn leaves have fallen I can hear the magpies laugh I can’t shake this melancholy And then the cloud breaks A ray of sunlight - Gloria! As if a promise. Some strange kind of euphoria... Dark phantoms of the past Some things are best forgotten Like Orpheus, don’t look back The best years are waiting for you And then the cloud breaks A ray of sunlight - Gloria! As if a promise. Some strange kind of euphoria... And then the cloud breaks A ray of sunlight - Gloria! As if a promise. Some strange kind of euphoria... And then the cloud breaks A ray of sunlight - Gloria! As if a promise. Some strange kind of euphoria... Euphoria... Euphoria... Euphoria...
This reminds me very much of another KJ classic (aren't they all?) Adorations... i mean, the atmosphere, song's structure and overall feeling is very similar. It's like Adorations but brought to this modern era ♥️👌🎶
Serious firepower, backed up by a not less powerful melody. I must say that I definitely like these non-usual metal/indus atmospheres developed by Killing Joke over the years, starting with ''European Super State'', ''In Cythera'' and this heroic pop rock song ''Euphoria'' with strong reminiscences from ''Love Like Blood'' which was my introduction to the band in 1984. Good ol' times! The introduction of electronics has also magnified KJ's sound. The rest of ''Pylon'' is a pure gem. God Bless You, KJ, for being unique and raising the resistance flag high!
@@MD-ru5vs yeah but usually their music is heavy and good for workouts and stuff. So interesting how they are able to do the exact opposite just as good.
killing Joke are one of the best bands to come out of England. I first saw them in the early 80's before Fire Dances and thought they were special. many of their songs are what people think. I was raised on KJ and I will die loving all their music. Long live KJ.
The influence of Killing Joke in lots of metal bands is unquestionable. Fear factory is a clear example. I´m glad to hear from the pioneers of many many of my favourite bands. Instant favourite!
Killing Joke is like a true, ver close friend to me - since I was 13 (when "pandemonium was released). Finally managed to see then live twice in recent years. Litterally they're one of the best & most unique bands ever! Thanks for the amazing high quality music all those years!
+VjetroP No, not really. I've got the full Killing Joke catalog and while their records sure are loud now - aren't all records - I do like their "in your face" sound. The 80s stuff was the 80s stuff and sure, Pandemonium sounded awesome, but that was then, the 90s, and this is now. My opinion.
J.M. Wolfman So the muffled sound of the guitars on the very disappointing PYLON seems to be ideal to you? I've read early reviews of FANS (not bribable hype-happy journalists) and the majority of them are not pleased with the album, rating it way lower than the previous half-dozen albums. And I agree with them. The band has become derivative and the growl vocals are almost not used at all which gives the album less variation and power. Geordie's riffs are unspectacular to the most part.
+VjetroP Well, since Killing Joke are self producing their albums, I guess you can only complain to them if you don't like the sound. Each to their own.
+VjetroP Many long term Killing Joke followers aren't keen on the latter day growling vocals. To be honest I'm not bothered either way. Listen to "I Am The Virus". It's got a bit of growl in the chorus. Apart from the three songs currently available from "Pylon", where did you hear the rest of the album and read the early reviews you speak of? Links would be excellent.
Finally KJ released lyrics to this song: Overcast, the branches bare The autumn leaves have fallen I can hear the magpies laugh I can’t shake this melancholy And then the cloud breaks A ray of sunlight - Gloria! As if a promise Some strange kind of euphoria Dark phantoms of the past Some things are best forgotten Like Orpheus, don’t look back The best years are waiting for you And then the cloud breaks A ray of sunlight - Gloria! As if a promise.
Killing Joke back on top form and sounding better than ever!...The two tracks I've heard from their imminent release 'Pylon', this one and 'I Am The Virus', are first rate and both album and tour are a must!
I remember many many moons ago hearing them FOR THE FIRST TIME one night on head banggers ball mtv and I was instantly hooked completely BAD ASS BAND I LOVE THEM....

I just got "Pylon", and I immediately thought "Whatever happens, I'm going to be fan of KJ for some more years..." Never a deception for more than 30 years...

To produce an album of such quality, with tracks of this magnitude, after 36 years of making music - respect, guys! It's fucking wonderful. :)
I concur!
I can't listen to this song too many times. Amazing.
Back to their classic mid 80s sound..Brilliant!
+zillionairemark yes indeed agreed !
I much prefer mid 80s Killing Joke over anything else they did. Euphoria, Cythera, Raven King, and Singularity are all welcome returns that period
immediate classic. I have goosebumps

Some strange kind of euphoria...
And then the cloud breaks

As if a promise.
Some strange kind of euphoria...
Euphoria...
Euphoria...
Euphoria...
MagmaXtreme these are some of the best lyrics have heard in years. Some strange kind of Euphoria.
I dont think he sings "... and the cloud breaks", he sounds more like " i m standing closer "
@@MrAsaf1984 , I found "and then the door breaks" also: "and in the darkness"... Google it! 😬
@@firgul Nope,. Doesnt sound like he is singing that. Really mysterious case :) .
I heard "I think I doubt this".
No other band 35 years into their career sounds as good. Brilliant!
+ELECTRIC MAGAZINE RUSH?
permaveg
OK you're right, nothing can beat Rush, but KJ comes very close :)
+ELECTRIC MAGAZINE Their both unique in a world where originality is rare.
+ditimely Same with me.
+ELECTRIC MAGAZINE It's derivative and average.
This reminds me very much of another KJ classic (aren't they all?) Adorations... i mean, the atmosphere, song's structure and overall feeling is very similar. It's like Adorations but brought to this modern era ♥️👌🎶
A new Killing Joke classic
+hellisfnboring Their weakest since 1988.
+VjetroP I don't think so at all... I love it actually
+VjetroP outside the gate is amazing.. dont agree
+VjetroP definitely not.
babanguida
Not much weaker than Democracy, Pandemonium, 2003 album, or Extremities?

They not just speak about the truth but showing us that on the highest level of the true and Pure ART of music. Heroes.
I dont understand how and why but this song always brings tears to my eyes.
Yes because it is full of emotions,that is the power of KJ.
@@MD-ru5vs yeah but usually their music is heavy and good for workouts and stuff. So interesting how they are able to do the exact opposite just as good.
Literally, me too. Idk why either. It just HITS in the chest-feels (I said what I said)
Because it sounds euphoric.
Man up dude
Wow smooth voice Jaz is back! Reminds me of Brighter Than A Thousand Suns!
I remember winning their first LP in a card game, playing my best mate back in 1980, still my best mate now and still KJ grow on me....
killing Joke are one of the best bands to come out of England. I first saw them in the early 80's before Fire Dances and thought they were special. many of their songs are what people think. I was raised on KJ and I will die loving all their music. Long live KJ.
Just pre ordered the limited edition 2LP Deluxe Vinyl set of the album. Can't wait for it to arrive!
i love u guys please come again in Venice Italy
I actually feel depressed that I missed this band from the beginning. Making it up now, this is fucking epic.
what a riff, love it, pure Joke
The influence of Killing Joke in lots of metal bands is unquestionable. Fear factory is a clear example. I´m glad to hear from the pioneers of many many of my favourite bands. Instant favourite!
Wow! This is awesome! Driving hard but melodic.
Great! I love the instrumental part from 2:23, good old KJ sound returns.
KJ sounding better than ever...this is an impossible feat. And just in time for Halloween.
killing joke 36 years later, and still killing it........
they are still making great songs..don t dare to stop
Absolutely brilliant.

I tought this was from its 80s era. Brilliant.
Awesome... Killing Joke is on a roll. Sounding better than ever.
+J.M. Wolfman Does "ever" include only the last 5 years?
+VjetroP No, not really.
I've got the full Killing Joke catalog and while their records sure are loud now - aren't all records - I do like their "in your face" sound. The 80s stuff was the 80s stuff and sure, Pandemonium sounded awesome, but that was then, the 90s, and this is now. My opinion.

Great reinterpretation of Death Can Dance. Like in Paradise Lost music.
Minha preferida junto com Big Buzz

Oh my god... They`ve done it again.. Where do they get those melodies from..!!!
"..................Satan........" - Gaahl (in regards to melodies)
yes, Jaz picks up some perfect fills
spot on
oNE OF TH3 BEST BANDS IF I EVER HEAD
Belter of a song.
Jaz Coleman is one of the greatest unsung heroes of music.
Since Rush are done perhaps Alex or Geddy could do a guest appearance on the next Killing Joke album or tour. Everyone would be a winner.
This is the best they have sounded for a long time. Got the vinyl LP pre-ordered. Neighbours, beware on 23rd Oct....
Incredible as always.
wot a great pop song
I just got "Pylon", and I immediately thought "Whatever happens, I'm going to be fan of KJ for some more years..." Never a deception for more than 30 years...
incredible
Another KJ instant classic. Beautiful song. KJ should come to Brazil in this next tour. :-)
William Lages check their tour dates :)
fantastic !
Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!! KJ are back!!
what a hit !
I love Killing Joke!
hell yes. the best band around !
j adore KJ !!!
I 'll be glad to give my money for this album, just rad.
Heard this on radio 1 last night, don't even like rock but I'm loving this track right now
Wow - I wish we had radio that good around here......
+Martino1plus I swear killing joke are banned on all radio stations?
+aidencurl Naw I heard them on BBC radio 1 they have a rock sessions and this was in one of them.. Great song!
+
3 dislikes, wtf ,surely taking the p**s, this is the best!
Have been a long time fan since back in the day. Still such an amazing band!!
Awesome!
There is a god ... Great music is still made. Thanks Radio6 (my religion), Marc Riley in particular for playing this as I was cooking my kitchen ...
Saw them on the Pandemonium tour on 5 hits of acid, holy shit. I can't wait til January when they come thru again.
A great return to form. Awesome guys !
Hauntingly cool track :D
Killing Joke sempre inovando ao longo dos tempos, estou ansioso para escutar o novo álbum
Could have been a track on Nighttime, just love it!
What a masterpiece discovered today! 2022
Great track. Killing Joke still delivering the goods!
