Everybody is crying to Darkness At The Heart Of My Love, this song made me shed a tear with how melodic and powerful those guitars were
Man, both of these songs got me filling a bathtub.
@@404sutibi7 I've listened 3 times and the way it sounds like the guitars are crying to the lyrics is making me sob
Agree! Darkness is my favorite. It’s just a beautiful melodic piece. Sheer genius! This one is amazing also!
@@rickysalinas23777 - sheesh man, try listening to "Supreme Majesty - Until the End of Time"....and then talk to me about guitars crying to the lyrics...
@@jimb2785 I love that too, this one just hits differently for me but to each his own
i got the chills when the chords for imperium started playing. what a perfect way to end a masterpiece. tobias is indeed a genius.
Same and still do. It literarly feels like the end of the journey ending as it begins once again. Considering the times were living in wich i get aaa shit load of refrenceses to it on this album imo, it still keeps you hopefull that bether days are ahead. This album is fkg beautiful 🤘🤘
@@WickedRaccoon16_61 absolutely! glad to still be alive to experience such brilliance.
Excellent songwriting to transition back to Imperium in the way they did. Pure brilliance and I too got the chills.
@@kn8ski saame for me man at least we have great music by a great band and meny other great bands 🤘🤘
@malcolm stacey fake what exactly? I suggest you go back to your K-pop and leave real music to us mate!
2:07 Sodo's solo gets me every time 😭
YEESS😍😍😍
It's Fredrik Åkesson playing all the guitars. The Ghouls don't play on the albums.
Is Tobias
ME TOOO ❤❤❤❤😍
@@Radiozo Yeah, you can feel the tangible leap in technical ability between Prequelle and Impera. Mr Åkesson is a phenom, and this is with all respect in the world to Prequelle, a fantastic piece of work.
Did not know what to thing about this band Ghost. Being 55 years old and growing up with Motörhead , Maiden, Sabath , Judas Priest I set my mind to old heavy metal . Then mid and late 80s trash metal came full force . Being "born' metal head I embrace it and love it right away. Like any style of metal. Have to admit that this band is something else . You love it or hate it. I choose to love it . It touches souls. Lost souls, abandoned souls, hoping for better souls .
Cheers to all Ghost fans
I'm 60...and love this.
55 and hell yeah - perhaps they fill a void for those from this era. I see Ghost as being very eclectic. They're all over the place with ballads like this and Call Me Little Sunshine but yet some riffy rock stuff like Kaisarion and Griftwood - heck yeah. Hey don't forget about the new Maiden stuff out there. Those guys are still shredding with Writing On The Wall.
Cheers mate🍻
You had me at Motörhead
Cheers my fellow Ghost fan
It’s late at night…but when you have ghost you have everything!
It's early morning with sunshine! Little Sunshine, lol
@@DaP84 some of us were waiting for the night to fall when everything is bearable….
This song makes me feel like a marionette
There is a bit of….. still of the night in there.
You can say anything you want and you can do anything you wanna do!
if that ending solo doesn't reach out and grip you by the very fiber of your being, you're dead inside and should seek help immediately.
True
Okay but can I be dead inside and still experience this sensation? Confused
Not really a guitar solo. You had me all amped up for some Reb Beach-style solo like at the end of "Witness".
Even the souls of the dead are moved!
If you don’t like Ghost ! you should seek help immediately
2:07 this part is literally the most beautiful thing ever
Their guitar solos are goated 😂😭
Well, maybe not LITERALLY, as that would be a matter of objective fact rather than individual taste.
@@shawarmageddonit typical ghost listener:
yes
@@SPINlXno, that’s a typical a-hole
I just wish I could listen to this song for the first time again... There are no words to describe how incredible this song and the whole album is. For me it's the best song they've ever written.
I've said this to people about He Is.
This is my first time listening to it
@@Admiral_John
Nothing beats He Is
Life Eternal comes close tho..
I wish that Bite of Passage was just included in this song, because it feels like one piece. I agree, I feel this is their masterpiece to date.
Thank the co-wroter Joakim Berg. His band Kent, that played from the early 90's until 2016, were the biggest band in Sweden and they were also huge in Scandinavia. They were sort of indie rock, they also had a more electro oriented period later in their career. Their frontman Joakim Berg is a great songwriter. He's got something special.
We’re summoned tonight for a divine cause
@@nickm8688 This Chapel of ritual.
Smells of dead human sacrifices from the alter bed.
cringe
I love that album. Love them all
@@fftax444 yo mama
@@fftax444 oh no someone is making a ghost reference under a ghost song never saw that coming
Easily my favourite track on the album! Love this song!
Defiantly is. couldn't think of a better way to wrap up the album.
Makes two of us!
One of the co-writers is Joakim Berg. He had a band called Kent, it's way softer than Ghost but maybe you'd like them.
@@QueenJaneway Interesting! I'll take a listen! Thank you! :)
@@KaiRossBest Maybe try the song "den döda vinkeln", or "mannen i den vita hatten (16 år senare)" they only did songs in swedish so you know XD
The riff from 2:06 and onward is absolutely legendary.
I totally agree with you but sadly not alot of people are talking abt this part😭
Man this is just beautiful
That solo is fantastic
Riff hits soooo hard, just love the guitars especially in this song
So...finally a band that truly saved rock. I was waiting for something like this for many years, beautiful and powerful.
I said it to a friend yesterday
No
Yes i think the same. Ghost lifts up the true classical rock again. I love it!
Absolutly true
@Bear Peterson like diamonds in the sky 😉
Wtf the guitar work on this album is incredible. The rhythm, the lyrics. Amazing.
All the lead guitar on the record was played by Frederick Akkeson of Opeth just a FYI
Expect nothing less from Opeth's guitarist. This was his first album with Ghost.
The drums also pop out a lot more than other albums as well. This album made me realize that I couldn't name a single song by Ghost with double bass prior to this.
I feel that. Been playing along time. The dude playing lead has a lot of " sound " to his hands. It basically means all the pieces on this album kind of reach out in their own way when he stretches out. He is amazing. That feel is in his hands not in his equipment. From all of the other albums which I love them all. This lead dude has something different.
@@morbidghoul9654 It’s Fredrik Akesson from the band Opeth he’s absolutely incredible. It’s mind bending how good of a guitar player he is.
BEST Band of the 21st century...PERIOD!
I've been saying that for a long time
Why did this entire album make me feel so nostalgic? Like it felt like I'd already heard all the songs and I had come back to hear them again after years
It's like I died in the 80's and just came back to life, I don't know how else to explain it.
swedish melancoli
it’s because they wanted to simulate older rock while giving it some touches of newer stuff
@@luker2935 I was only 17 when I listened to the album for the first time
NO FR
As a swede. The last verse containing "we're leaving the city, so this is farewell" "one day we will come back" is a reference to Europes The Final Countdown. What a sweet nod.
Was hoping someone else would catch it! Everyone is focusing on the Whitesnake guitar riff, but that Europe nod right after it was awesome. Joey Tempest was a phenomenal vocalist
finally someone says that! its the final countdoooooown! that song brought me to heavy music in 1987!
@@TheGeorgStam there is a big threat to those respectful nods in music now because all the trials claiming you can own a rhythm, a lyric line or a chord progression. Be aware of those people that don't understand music is a tree.
He also used a distinct melody from a modonna song i think when he sings "i'll be the shadow" and "we will go softly". An then there is the riff starting at 2:30 which sounds like whitesnakes still of the night. The whole song is loaded with these similarities.
I'm so glad other people got the Europe/Final Countdown reference. When I first heard it I got chills and it brought me back to my childhood as that was a favorite song of mine. ❤❤
I don't think Ive ever gotten actual goosebumps 3 separate times in one song... The guitar solo, the drums from left to right.. the return to the opening of the album.. it's just so good
Same dude it’s crazy how good this album is
Same, goosebumps hit right at the beginning
@@theredbaron057 I got them at the beginning of the guitar solo, then when the drums flooded from left to right. Then when the recall to imperium started. Sooo gooood
You´ve said it all
Even the part that rips off still of the night
"Was quite a scene, wasn’t it?"
The agressive bitterness in his voice! As if it scratches the surface from deep within. Like when hate is held back by sadness. What a meticulously crafted song! LOVE IT
Congratulations on the Grammy win , this album is amazing.
Saw this performed live last night, and omg it’s like finding life again
I'm so jealous omg
When I saw this song live I started bawling 😭
This album is SO meant to played on a loop. You cant tell me its not when the end is literally imperium
It's like he says in kaisarion, "we're building up our empire from the ashes of an old", each one is built as the last one goes into the night
So true
Yeah, definitely. It has do with the cyclical thing Tobia's been talking about
*Respite On The Spitalfields ends* Ah man... *Imperium plays because you have it set to repeat all* :)
@@MrSincados me for the past week
Just listened to the album, truly great. Felt like a love letter to 80’s rock. This song is such a fitting closing. “I’ll be the shadow, you be the light. We will go softly, into the night”.
Definitely got a 80s metal rock tradition,
Yeah I got vibes of White Snake, iron maiden Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. Just a bunch of different cues.
@@nathanlester9985 and Ed Sheeran , Jonas Brothers ,Justine Bieber
@@johnlee7479 wich makes it even musically superior
"A love letter to 80's rock". There"s no better way to describe this album :)
This song spoke to me in a time when I couldn't hear what my heart was trying to tell me. This song took a whole different meaning entirely, to me it helped me come to terms with my failing marriage. It helped me accept and move on. This whole album came at a time in my life when I absolutely needed it. But man was this song a little louder to my heart than the rest.
I went thru the same thing brother hope all is well. I couldn't muster to listen to this album for a while because it would take me back to thsy rough part of my life
I hope you Will be ok now dude!
I've had several Ghost songs hit me in the feels. Life Eternal being one.. and this one (only with this one I don't understand quite why ...yet. it's probably that chorus.. i mean c'mon! Then the guitar starts ripping your soul out.....😭)
I have only listened to German music for more than 8 years, a colleague told me to listen to Ghost. I finally had time to in 2020, before actually I had my new job lined up. Let's just say I'm not underwhelmed....
This might be super cheesy, but the soft background vocals and solo from 5:14 and on make me so emotional. It’s like a tribute to the Whitechapel victims
The ending solo with the tone change, Tobias harmony and guitar riffs make me weirdly nostalgic for the entire human race. Now who's super cheesy 👻
Not cheesy imo. That focused melody and guitar tone can absolutely bring me to tears. Also the lyrics are pretty devastating too. For as popular as they are, they're still terribly underrated.
Cheesy need not always be "cheesy", a good pop-hook done right has tremendous emotional effect, that's just brilliant songwriting...that's the point
Why do people act like being cheesy is a bad thing ?
@@TheFuryLz Probably because it implies a negative relationship with authenticity, and is often irritating in certain context.
Oh shit, that's the guitar riff from Imperium near the very end! Nice to hear it close out the album as well as open it up!
Fax great callback
So that we can seamlessly listen the album once again !
That's exactly what I thought. The album ends where it began. Brilliant move!
Very Pink Floyd concept, and I love both bands
@@TheDisturbedBaboon and again and again and again
That guitar solo made me cry it was so mystical
This moment is unreal 2:07, it puts a smile on my face, it’s so beautiful
When I first listened to Respite I got really emotional from it and cried. To me, it's truly one of their greatest, most powerful songs they've ever made. The varieties of this song(and album) with it's atmospheric melodies, haunting choruses and lyrical work literally blew both my mind and expectations away.
This song hit me so hard. I was crying too. It's just so beautiful, and epic on a scale that reminds me of Zenith in a way. Amazing album, and such an amazing, heartbreaking song to end it on!
i feel you. it brings me tears!
And lets not forget the mighty production making it sound like if it was released on 1988!
When a song touches your soul it follow you until the end of your days. This is one of these song.
most complex song on the album
There's a tenderness in the midst of a great cynicism to Ghost's best pieces. This one especially.
I feel like it’s Tobias’s way of saying, “Hey, it’s pretty shitty right now, but we’re in this together.”
Impera is hitting me like October Rust did 20 years ago...🖤🖤🖤
Oh boi a beautiful album.
That's the same thing I was thinking! Just an incredible work of art...🤘🖤
LYRICS
We're here in the after of a murderous crafter
The past is spun like a yarn and mangled
With flesh and blood and bones, I wonder
Did no one hear the distant thunder
The autumnal reaper, the stains of this creeper
Will last, the shine and the sham entangled
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces
For the dreams that you dreamt
Can become just as real
As the blood that was shed
With the slash of his steel
Now the street walking dead
Was quite a scene, wasn't it?
For the lost and mislead
Were promised seats by the pit
We will break away together
I'll be the shadow
You'll be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly
Into the night
We're leaving this city
So this is farewell
Goodbye, Seven Sisters
And Saint Jezebel
The moon in the gutter
Has a story to tell
One day he will come back
From the bowels of hell
He appeared to ascend
So we all stood there in awe
Now we have to pretend
We didn't see what we saw
When the curtain unveiled
To the sound of applause
That the king that we hailed
Was the Wizard of Oz
We will break away together
I'll be the shadow
You'll be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly
Into the night
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly
Into the night
Poet Laureate Extraordinaire ❤
The shine and the sham entangled . . .
I Am listening to this song rite now . Ghost is the best!!
@@donnacummings1061 Yes! Tobias Forge is a force of Nature! And his goul guitarists never disappoint with their harmonic electrifications❣️. Saw them LIVE this past summer and never felt more alive! Rock on!!! 🤘🎸🤘🎵🔥
@@shariblack4128 I agree . I would love to see them live.
Well. This is a masterpiece.
No
@@loriz2451 it wasn't a fucking question.
@@loriz2451 Agreed
It's like a yarn untangled.... I wonder did noone hear the DISTANT THUNDER!!!! It's Tobias!
It's absolutely magnificent, but without hesitation I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. We need to reserve the term 'masterpiece' for those few in a million among all artists. Although they did well enough that some ought to call it that, so that's a win.
What an absolute MASTERPIECE.
IMO one of the greatest songs Ghost has ever written. The combination of every single influence and sound that they have done, put in to one amazing song. Leave it to Ghost continuing to push the envelope further and further, and succeed every single time. Amazing.
Agreed
Been there since 2012... This is a really good song... Period.
co-writer Joakim Berg is a song-writing genius.
@@morbidghoul9654 Me too 2012. I'd heard about them through Phil and Metallica mentioning them/wearing shirts, ect.
@@TheChadTI I just pretty much showed up at this Gig for Deftones and they were there... Blew my fucking mind.
I don't think I've ever heard a song as beautiful as this in my life!!
@@VViCkEdVoMbAtIdAe Yes I know ! Even so, I'm referring to the music, rhythm, musical arrangement, backing vocals harmony and guitar riffs... well, you understand, right !!!
@@VViCkEdVoMbAtIdAe Jack the ripper is just a motiff of the song, it's more of a vehicle for the themes of the album like the rise and fall of empires, mortality, the cycle of life etc
Just. Can't. Stop. Listening.

Thanks 🖤🖤🖤
Basically the whole song is about the book of revelation told from the side of the devil.
@@lostless00 I thought it was also about Jack the Ripper, as he left his victims by the Spitalfields in London. I think he merged some themes. What a masterpiece
@@ScoiataeI Masterpieces do not mix themes, metaphors and link fiction with facts.
This was the most fitting end to the record. Around the middle of the 5 minute mark, Imperium starts playing. The old, corrupt empire has fallen, and we are again at the start of the record where a new one (hopefully better) is rising. This also fits perfectly with Tobias's view for the future, which is optimistic, as he has stated in a lot of interviews. An amazingly well-done song, and album by him.
and considering current events...
I take it way more cynical in that as the old empire falls the new one begins and starts the same cycle all over again
Musically, Styx did the same thing on the album Paradise Theatre. The album opens with A.D. 1928 and the theme, then the second to last song, Half-Penny Two-Penny, segues into the closer, A.D. 1958 and the theme. Good stuff.
@@swissmed4606 yes exctly. Heard of the Fall of Empires artworks by Thomas Cole? Pretty cool and suits the album
@@swissmed4606 Well it is more upbeat than the starting Imperium, so to me it sparks a positive vibe. But of course that could be the case as well. I just thought about it together with some stuff Tobias had said in interviews about having a positive outlook of the future.
this is one of the greatest songs i've ever heard. kind of has a november rain type of feel to it.
Oh shit I've never even thought about November Rain but you're 💯 right!!!
Yes agreed.......but this song technically blows November Rain to smithereens💥
the line "the moon in the gutter; has a story to tell" hits so hard!
I wouldn't complain if every album ended on a 7-minute epic track like this.
Its the rock ballad era of music LOVE IT
This might be the best saddest song. It was a graceful good bye to someone who realized their time had come. They know they're going to die or they're society is crumbling and a hoard is coming over the wall. Great song, goosebumps every time.
IMHO, Impera is an absolute Masterpiece
this is honestly one of the best ghost songs ever. it’s so fucking BEAUTIFUL i don’t know how to explain it.
This is the best song I’ve ever heard
This song is so beautiful...I've been a fan of Ghost for about 3 years now, went to my first ritual a week ago. I'll never stop being in awe of this band, immediately after the ritual I wanted to go to another, and another..Not only are they talented musicians, but incredible performers and above all, a FAMILY. It's clear now that they've grown to have a beautiful bond with each other, and I couldn't be prouder of Tobias and all that he has done. They really outdid themselves with Impera, can't wait for many more years.
Now that's the kind of Ghost comment I love
Have you seen them play miasma live? It is so beautiful looking and sounding, still today i can't put into words the feeling o got. This band is on another level.
Give this man a Grammy for Best Everything and a Broadway stage. 10/10. No notes. #SWOON
Thank you Ghost. You don't just sing random rhyming lyrics, but lyrics with meaning, stories and history. I love pulling apart your songs with my man and the discussions it leads us to have. Another awesome song!
Hell yeah man I fuckin missed the early release like an idiot 😔
How many bands can do that? Gojira?
@@Shirtsaysshirt Be'Lakor
Think of this for a second - English is Tobias Forge's second language, and he still writes better lyrics then so many people who grew up speaking it... The guy's damn good.
You should dive into Tool.
Your head will explode.
This is Cirice of the album ... absolute masterpiece!
Go to 4:50, turn up all the way, close your eyes and just FEEL the music. It bring me to tears every single time, it is just pure bliss❤ Thank you Tobias
Yes it is. They played this live on the last tour cycle. We had been out there for several hours and when the ghoullettes started singing the end we all were in a form of ecstasy, truly religion without guilt.
Your so right 😮❤
I cried at 540 of the song 😢😢
This album has shook me to the core. Unbelievable. So many emotions. Masterpiece.
"I wonder, did no one hear the distant thunder?"
Cirice reference?
Guess they couldn't hear the thunder that was breaking in their heart.
easily one of the best songs on this album 👌🏻
nah bruh, it is the best song on the album.
One night when I was 18 I was walking in my hometown in Florida at 2 a.m. I walked into a cemetery and in the back was a decent size duck pond. It was a full moon night. The moons ambient light was one of the most beautiful sights in my entire life. To see the moons reflection off the duck pond and the illuminations of the gravestones. The sky was the perfect dark velvet with many stars blending the scene. This song reminds my of that scene and how beautiful Gothic nature can be. So beautiful I stayed for 2 hours. I couldn't leave. As such wonderful things in life nothing last forever!
Ghost fills my chest with so much emotion. This song is an excellent example where it feels like my heart is soaring. I love this so much omfg.
Same
Omfg 😂😂
Still can't put into words the feeling i get. The more albums they put out, the more proud i am to be a ghost fan 🤘🤘
A really emotional and great closing for this perfect album.
[Verse 1]
We're here in the after
Of a murderous crafter
The past
Is spun like a yarn and mangled
With flesh and blood and bones, I wonder
Did no one hear the distant thunder?
[Verse 2]
The autumnal reaper
The stains of this creeper
Will last
The shine and the sham entangled
Like salting earth with tears of Jesus
He sliced and diced our dreams to pieces
[Pre-Chorus]
For the dreams that you dread
Can becomе just as real
As the blood that was shed
With thе slash of his steel
Now the street walking dead
Was quite a scene, wasn’t it?
For the lost and mislead
Were promised seats by the pit
[Chorus]
We will break away together
I'll be the shadow
You'll be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
[Bridge]
We are leaving this city
So this is farewell
Goodbye Seven Sisters
And Saint Jezebel
The moon in the gutter
Has a story to tell
One day he will come back
From the bowels of Hell
[Pre-Chorus]
He appeared to ascend
So we all stood there in awe
Now we have to pretend
We did not see what we saw

[Outro]
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly into the night
the most important comment ever!!!!
Kudos for the people who saw the brilliance of this album on their first listen. I hated it at first, but after my second time I fell in love with it. They say that albums that grow on you are the best, and here I am to confirm. A gorgeous masterpiece, absolutely wounderful. This album has been on loop for me for the past three days and it will be for weeks to come. Thank you Tobias for yet another banger of an album.
It's always the same with Ghost. First listen you're like, 'meh, not bad'. Then it clicks and you can't stop listening to it.
I also wasn't a fan the first time I heard it, I'd been listening to a lot of thrash metal the last few months, so I think my brains had expectations were skewed by thinking Imperium was an intro and It just wasn't what my brain was expecting when Kaisarion started playing. I had to put the album away and revisit a few days on a cleaner and more open mind. And yeah, when got back to it it just sorta popped with how brilliant every track is.
2:07 this may be the best musical moment in the entire Ghost career, and i'm not kidding
Yeah it's like an exact take of Whitesnake
Really does give you that timeless feel doesnt it?
That and the final chords of the song. Every time I get chills.
@@bowenclark exactly!!
It is SO GOOD it makes me cry and ascend dude.
My favourite song from IMPERA album... ♥
This album makes me proud to have a Ghost tattoo 🤘
Same for me 🙂🤘🤘
same !! except it’s a reference to Hunter’s moon (bats flying past the moon on my leg)
Easily ghosts most underrated song
My favorite Ghost song of all time tbh
This is perfection. The layers, the guitars, lyrics…. I’m blown away!
This has come to be one of my favorite ghost songs. The music, the lyrics and theme, everything's too good.
That outro gives me such a great feeling of nostalgia. I love Ghost so much.
Nothing like this song exists. Utterly incredible. Absolutely phenomenal. By the Emperor, blessed is this time to be alive.
this album has no business being so good. holy shit.
I can't stop listening to this song, I've listened to it like 20 times now.. it's so beautifully done I can't seem to help myself 🥰❤
the ending of the album with darkness at the heart of my love, griftwood, bite of passage-respite on the spitalfields is one of the strongest endings to an album I've ever listened to.. absolutely brilliant
Hearing this song live at Re-Impera Tour was absolutely amazing
Adding the opening to the end of this song just put it over the top. Felt like this album was an epic journey. Listened at least 7 times today
This song is insanely well written...
I really feel like the people who don't like the new album are so one dimensional, and I feel sorry for them that they can't let songs like this one touch their soul. Tobias is a genius, how the lyrics tie into the actual music and they speak to each other in a way very few bands can accomplish. I mean the guy puts songs on his album with NO words that are pure magic. If you can't see that, feel that, and respect that, I really feel bad for you. As much shit as our world has been through the last few years, I gladly accept this gift from Tobias. It's beautiful. Just beautiful.
This song is fire so thats where we stand there. In total agreement. Besides this song and call me little sunshine this album is trash. So how does a shitty album make me one dimensional? You know when the best time to become a ghost fan was. And its not just cause its where i started but actually makes the most overall sense. Melioria more specifically cirice. That was when you wanted to be a fan at. Why some may ask. Its right where you love the satanic awesomeness but arent stuck on it having to be strictly satan all the time. Prequelle is by far the best put together album therefore making it the best album period. Even though you have multiple huge huge songs that by themselves are the best song compared to any single on prequelle. You cant beat how well prequelle was done in every aspect. This album i almost cried because its that terrible but this song alone is enough to make the entire album worth the money but then its backed with call me little sunshine. Honestly this album shoulda been a 2 song wait 3 song lp and call it a day. So no you are one dimensional thinking everyone who hates the album is one sided. No dude its cause this album is fucking terrible and its sad that only two songs are sry 3 songs title track included are worth a damn. We waited like what like 4 fucking years for bullshit. And tobias owes each and every fan a fucking blow job from his own mouth to right this injustice. Its even worse given the fact he took bullshit and made his bull shit awesome by taking such an awesome song like this and the other two songs and mashing it into an album. Tobias owes this song a fucking blowjob for doing this to it.
@@bobdole8375 nah, the album is good. You're just a drama queen.
@@bobdole8375 that's a lot of words for "i don't like the direction this band is going to"
Why does everyone like kissing Tobias hairy arse all the time , what about the nameless ghouls who are talented too !!
I love it so much. But I suppose people are allow their own opinions, unfortunately. Hahaha
The way the closing guitar melody bookends with the opening Imperium track is so satisfying...
When they opened with Imperium at the concert I could not hold my tears back. Such a beautiful and powerful melody. This song is something else
This song is the most beautiful creation the world will ever hear! CHANGE MY MIND!
How is this song not the most famous of the entire album!!!!
i broke down when the chords for imperium started playing in respite. absolutely the best way to end an album. tobias is a genius.
I know Opeth's Fredrik Akesson lent his guitar skills for this album, and don't know if he performed on the whole thing or just certain songs...but this is definitely one of them. Very Opeth-esque towards the end. Absolutely breathtaking song. My ear holes are extremely happy.
My understanding is that he did all of the guitars, working off Tobias's demos.
Fredrik is next level. Great guitarist.
When Imperium comes back in for the outro, I shed a tear or two. It is a piece of art.
This is actually my favorite track on the album.. it's just so fucking good, gives me chills.
I never thought a Ghost song would make me cry. I am glad I was wrong. What a beautiful finale.
Possibly the most beautiful song ever written
I love it when an album makes it difficult to pick a favourite song... and Impera makes it exceptionally difficult as even the "weaker" tracks are not weak by any standard, just that others are a bit more inspired than the rest. Pure brilliance. The best album I've listened to in many, many years. No amount of praise is too big for this...
The world needs Ghost! It's the reneissance of Rock, Hard Rock and Metal! Love it!
There are no words to describe all what this song makes me feel, a mix of emotions, I would like they never end, so I listen to it over and over. Thank you Ghost for taking me out of this horrible world.
The whole album is just amazing
Ghost is one of the few bands that get better with each album. I can't wait to see what they do on the next one!
One of the best closing songs on an album ever!!! Brings me to tears. Thank you Tobias.
The return to Imperium at the end with the chorus singing the melody in tandem just brings tears to my eyes. It's the perfect end to the album but more than that. The hopefulness in the sorrowful playing let's you know that it isn't the end. But the rebuilding, the rebirth. Hits deep if you're coming out of a depression and now you're looking to start over. Amazing 🖤👏👏👏👏
Que pedazo de canción! Es ESPECTACULAR! Amo que Ghost apueste por esa nostalgia ochentera...
espectacular, y sin perder su propio sello que los identifica

Tobias es un excelente músico realmente
Exactamente lo mismo que pensé, Darlene! Esas guitarras suenan como si fueran de la era gloriosa de Whitesnake en los 80's!!!
2:06 that guitar solo with keyboards and drums put together makes an unbelievable piece of music. During listening of this part i ascended to heaven.
Que puta obra de arte
Puta obra de arte do cacete!
satan couldn't have done it any better?
Todo el album es magestuso
If we have Ghost, we have everything.
A melodia dessa música (e de outras da banda) toca fundo na alma.
Absolutely
Been a fan of Ghost since 2016. They always have amazing music! The guitars, keyboards, harmonizing vocals, they are truly talented. I love that they have roots in old school rock and have definitely carried out their own vision. Thank you Tobias!!
This instantly becomes one of my favourites tracks of Ghost. I really love this one.
Heavy 80s metal influence all through this record.. I love it. This songs marries with Still of the night by Whitesnake 🤘
Yes! I thought the same thing!
I can hear some final countdown in there too.
Don't compare it to trash bands like Whitesnake. Especially don't call them metal. Whitesnake, Poison and other -> glam rockers killed the metal scene at the time and it was up to Grunge to come and wash away this trash. Go and watch document "who killed heavy metal".
@@lxdead5585 no no, don’t take it as a comparison, go listen to still of the night, about half way in when it slows down and it leads into a bridge the riffs are comparable. I just love music PERIOD. Ghost is a one of a kind band, really can’t compare them to anyone. But every band has influences, and this particular record has an 80s twang to it.
@@lxdead5585 Whitesnake was nothing like Poisen, Enuff z Nuff, Faster Pussycat, Warrant (oh God...Warrant. Talk about garbage) and other "hair bands". David Coverdale had real talent. He even had a band with Jimmy Page. Even Ozzy had huge hair sprayed, teased hair in parts of the 80's but I would never put him in the same category as most hair bands. Most of those run of the mill, generic "hair bands" came from the L.A. Strip scene. Whitesnake was a British rock band.
Why can’t I stop listening to this song over and over again? I’ve been a casual Ghost fan over the years, but after finally giving this album a listen I am absolutely won over. What a great rock record. This track is easily the best on the album, it’s just dreamy and rich, and has a quality to it that I can’t quite describe. Ghost is saving rock music, I really hope they continue churning out more stuff like this. Rock on!
You know you lived through the late 80z if you got that “Still of the Night” vibe at 2:32. Love it. \m/
yes yes yes yes :D
I didn't,but I got it too.
@@ginjordom6065 \m/
Yes! First thing that came to my mind 😁
Heard it on the way home today and couldn't place it. Thank you.
Me: So what genre is this song?
Ghost: Yes.
