Legend says when the moon is full in the city of Wacken, voices of the crowd can still be heard as they echo through the night and the enchanted musical spirits gather once again.
I once felt in love with a beautiful girl because I discovered that she knew how to sing this song from beginning to the end (and because I later discovered that she was a big fan of Blind Guardian). We used to sing The Bards Song together everytime possible and the loudest possible. We had a five month love affair, and it was one of the happiest periods of my whole life. Well, time passes and I don't know where she is now, we lost contact, but I will always remember her because of this song. You'll be forever in my memory, L.G.
Son: "Dad, why is my sister called `Rose`"? Dad: "Cause your mom likes Roses." Son: "Oh, I see. Thanks, dad." Dad: "No problem, Blind Guardian - The Bard Song Wacken 2011"
from time to time i search this video and embrace one of the perfect moments of my life. Standing there and singing this song with over ten thousand other fans as loud and with so much harmony like i never heard it ever again. I hope everyone has the same good feeling when they think back or watching this video
Fui professora de inglês....como eu amava....conheci essa música através dos alunos ...ganhei um CD....e claro ...a equipe q apresentou o trabalho...passou em inglês....bons momentos. Fui feliz...e sou.Vera
Wow, so many people joining this terrific song, knowing it word by word and even keeping the pitch in tune! This is magical! Great song and great fans, really.
Nope we're completely fine. We just love great music and classic performances like this one. Maybe you need to see a doctor for not getting chills during this
Now You all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave Noone should ask You for the name Of the one Who tells the story Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And You're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves Come close Your eyes You can see them, too
bloody hell it's almost 10 years ago when i stood in this crowd. i was only 18 years old and this was my first Festival. i loved this song, i knew the lyrics and i still love this band. Everytime i come back to this video i get the same goosebumps like back in the day at wacken 2011
Bard song and Valahalla are my favourite songs to see in concert, the crowd practically sings the whole thing, and just the vibe and the participation of EVERYONE makes it awesome
My childhood was forged through so much powerful emotion listening to BG. Their music carried me through fantasy. Saw them in my first live metal show in Athens in 1994, most emotional concert I've ever been to, sang the bard's song with tears in my eyes. Still love them so much after 20 years
I saw Blind Guardian for the first time ever in Calgary December 2010 in venue with maybe 500-1000 people. When they played this song it brought a tear to my eye. Everyone in there singing along with it is like nothing I have experienced in person at a concert before. Seems like it doesn't matter on the venue this song just plays really well live
Watching this makes me so glad I’ve lived to know this precious song 🙌🥺 wish I could be at a Wacken some day even though I would not listen to blind guardian play 😢
This is what he says before the song starts: »We have got to step on the gas a little to get through. A piece that is often anticipated, I think tonight is no different. I hope that I don't have to do a lot ...«
This band is EPIC not just because of the lyrics, but because of the sound. Listen to Blind Guardian's live music! When oo you hear the entire stadium singing louder than the band at any other concert? Do you hear the audience get into it like Blind Guardian's audience? No I don't think so!! *These songs of hobits, dwarves and men - and elves come close your eyes...*
came here just now. played that song in my christian-rock-band back in the day's. just remembered the song, still can play the intro on tha git. immedietly clicked on that video. gives me the chills. the good old metal days. :)
They probably won't be at Wacken 2014. They're playing a few gigs in May I believe, but they're confirmed to be at 70,000 Tons Of Metal. They're the main reason I'm going.
I just recently discovered this band and I'm filling up my phone with their music. This song is amazing! I must have all the songs! >:D But seriously, Blind Guardian is my new favorite band.
they way you feel connected to 50k people when you are standing in the crowed and sing along with them ...thats one of the most incredible feelings one can have...i love it =)
The quintessential metal ballad...I truly believe that no other metal ballad epitomizes all that is epic and grandiose about metal as perfectly as this song does...it's like something that was written in another time and place and somehow found it's way here...Bless these guys for this song.
Man das ist verdammt fantastisch, das Publikum ist erstaunlich und klingt verdammt gut zu, was könnte man mehr verlangen. Bitte beachten Sie, Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache, ich bin Englisch.
I had been dreaming for 5 years to see blind guardian at wacken, this year I finally could go, thanks alot wacken for one of the most awesome experiences of my lifetime, and see you all at wacken 2012!!!
Düşünüyorum da yirmili yaşlarda bu konsere gitmiş olsam, nakarat kısmını bağıra bağıra beraber söylediğim insanla şu an evli olsam ve çocuklarımıza bu şarkıları dinletsek... Şu an bir kafede tek başıma bu şarkıları dinleyip hayalimdeki hayatın çok çok uzağında olmak yerine...
Bu şarkı beni başka bir dünyaya götürüyor, kendimi medeniyetlerden uzakta salt bir doğanın içinde çayırların ziyadesiyle ormanların temiz havasını solurken hissediyorum
FUCK EVERYTHING, JUST SING LOUDLY WITH ME: Now You all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song Ref.: Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave Noone should ask You for the name Of the one Who tells the story Ref.: Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And You're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves Come close Your eyes You can see them, too
When people ask me why I want to go to Wacken and travel more than 7,500 miles from El Salvador to Germany, I show them this video. No more arguments afterwards.... See you in 2020 brothers and sisters. Rain or shine /m/
I wasn't a fan of Blind Guardian. But I was there, and it was one of the most intense moments in my whole life.
Same! ❤️ I still love watching this video once in a while.
lucky u
Amén my brother! U.U
Same, it was just awesome ❤️
I was there too ❤

Blind Guardian concerts are really something magical
I never liked their CDs, but this has to be among the best performances ever.
Verdomme... Kom ik je weer tegen op RUclips :v
Roel de Jong beetje late reactie maar... LOL!!!
Roel de Jong Lol nederlands hier :D
Absolutelly. I hope I get the chance to go in one some day.
2:30 Still the most epic metal guy ever...
So true
i know him! I'm a friend to the most epic metal guy... whooheeeee
He looks more Metallica fan...
Never listened to a performance so good. This song is eternal.
A masterpiece! And the people singing together is the most beautiful thing that I saw!
They do not sing. They pray.

Wow, so many people joining this terrific song, knowing it word by word and even keeping the pitch in tune! This is magical! Great song and great fans, really.
I got chills 7 to 10 times during this. This is truly unbelievable.
so did I. I have chills as I'm typing this
Nope we're completely fine. We just love great music and classic performances like this one. Maybe you need to see a doctor for not getting chills during this
i get chills whenever Hansi stops to let the crowd sing then starts smiling and singing with them
1:16 that feeling when you realize just how beautiful the song you created really is.
You won the internet lmao
Thank you!
Pandora Sentire true that dude
Now You all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs
There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
Noone should ask You for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story
Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
Noone will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And You're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men
And elves
Come close Your eyes
You can see them, too
why writing the Lyrics?
EVERYONE KNOWS THEM!
In case anyone new to the song gets lost in here.
@@Megalomaniakaal he's right. Im trying to learn the song.
Gosto dessa música....talvez pq eu sou uma fada.Nas festas infantis eu era a Fada Estrelinha.....Vera
@@AlterSchwedeWieGeiltem pessoas q gostam.Eu gosto quando tem a letra.Vera
As an Irishman we have millions of songs to sing, but hey, The Bard Song, is top of my 50+ year old list!!! Amazing!
Blind Guardian feat. the amazing Crowds at Wacken.
This is why Wacken is the best.
bloody hell it's almost 10 years ago when i stood in this crowd. i was only 18 years old and this was my first Festival. i loved this song, i knew the lyrics and i still love this band. Everytime i come back to this video i get the same goosebumps like back in the day at wacken 2011

This is magical, and give me goosebumps. Hope to be soon in the crowds again....
These guys have helped me keep my hopes up through a lot of bad stuff.
You're not alone, so don't be afraid of the dark and cold
You know when a performance is awesome when 80% or more is sung by the crowd
this is the first time knowing this band and this song is very emotional and gave me chills damn
I watch this every now and then. Any everytime its just amazing

I didn't know what I was missing all this time............ Oh my God how can this song be so magical?
The world would be a much more peaceful place if there were only people like this crowd
Mensch, wie die Zeit vergeht, das letzte Mal hab ich euch noch bei Giga WoW gesehen. Super Performance!
2:30 viking style
larsheuker Fuck yeah! jajaja he need a beer!
i loved this guy xD
+Ψωμάς he's a fucking legend ;)
Skål !!!
Indeed -because they're Germans
Now THIS is a crowd! I would really love to be at Wacken some day, too bad my house is worth just about less than a daily ticket.
My childhood was forged through so much powerful emotion listening to BG. Their music carried me through fantasy. Saw them in my first live metal show in Athens in 1994, most emotional concert I've ever been to, sang the bard's song with tears in my eyes. Still love them so much after 20 years

So was I... came from Australia for Wacken... and this was one of my favourite moments :D
das Konzert war der absoute hammer und das lied war der höhepunkt. See you wacken 2012!!
the best live song ever....the best voice ever....
Whoever wrote this melody is fuckin genius
Hans did
***** genius
***** I missunderstood. Hans wrote the lyrics. Im not sure about the melody.
My question was who particularly in the band composed the melody..
Andre Oberlich, their guitarist. He shares writing credits on most songs from the band
This is what he says before the song starts: »We have got to step on the gas a little to get through. A piece that is often anticipated, I think tonight is no different. I hope that I don't have to do a lot ...«
Gänsehaut! Einfach Episch!!!!! Die Stimmung ist einzigartig.... So eine Crowd wünscht sich jedes Festival... Es lebe Wacken! !!!!
This band is EPIC not just because of the lyrics, but because of the sound. Listen to Blind Guardian's live music! When oo you hear the entire stadium singing louder than the band at any other concert? Do you hear the audience get into it like Blind Guardian's audience? No I don't think so!! *These songs of hobits, dwarves and men - and elves come close your eyes...*
came here just now. played that song in my christian-rock-band back in the day's. just remembered the song, still can play the intro on tha git. immedietly clicked on that video. gives me the chills. the good old metal days. :)
Ele pode parar e apreciar que o publico cante por ele, literalmente o respeitável publico esse do Wacken, um grande publico em um grande festival.
Lucas Duarte Imagina a emoção do Hansi ouvindo essa galera cantando pra ele uma musica que ele mesmo fez.
What a crowd...
I'd sacrifice various limbs (Probably one of my tentacles.) to've been there.
Vehementi tentacles? AHHAAHHAHAAH
I'm still waiting for them to be confirmed for Wacken 2014.
I want them to be there so bad.
They probably won't be at Wacken 2014. They're playing a few gigs in May I believe, but they're confirmed to be at 70,000 Tons Of Metal. They're the main reason I'm going.
Felix Padilla It's all good, They're coming to Stuttgart I just found out so that works too. :D
"Ich hoffe das ich möglichst wenig zu tun hab." Ja Hansi! Diese Pause hast Du Dir redlich verdient!
such an epic crowd. i`ve got chills down my spine listening to all these people singing.
Ein Genuss war es , und danke an Blind Guardian für soviel gute und schöne Musik bis heute.
Blind Guardian stirs up so many emotions man it's hard to handle at time
When I was Hansi Kirsch, I totally would start to cry in the moment when everybody in the crowd is singing the song. Sooooooo awesome!
NO HAY NINGUN DIA DEL AÑO Q NO ME PONGA ESTA CANCIÓN. Y SIGUE PONIENDOME LOS PELOS DE PUNTA...ENAMORADO ME TIENE!!!!
I just recently discovered this band and I'm filling up my phone with their music. This song is amazing! I must have all the songs! >:D But seriously, Blind Guardian is my new favorite band.
+PooleParty24/7 Good decision! ;-)
Welcome to Power Metal. Now go check out Kamelot, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Rhapsody of Fire, Edguy, and many others:)
they way you feel connected to 50k people when you are standing in the crowed and sing along with them ...thats one of the most incredible feelings one can have...i love it =)

the passion in everyone's face, so beautiful to see
Listening to this song makes time stand still...
much praise to these most excellent musicians. enjoy this song thuroughly
Gänsehaut bei dem Song, immer und immer wieder
Man das ist verdammt fantastisch, das Publikum ist erstaunlich und klingt verdammt gut zu, was könnte man mehr verlangen. Bitte beachten Sie, Deutsch ist nicht meine Muttersprache, ich bin Englisch.

I've never heard a crowd so fucking lively before. They were so singing with so much power.
Eddie Sullivan yeaah we' ll be there

One of the most amazing songs ever...
WHY HAVE I NOT FAVORITED THIS YET?!
I've never seen such a responsive crowd. Amazing
I love you every single one of that crowd.
This song always gives me chills
Seeing all this crowd, I still believe in humanity!
i was looking for you for a long time, now i found myself
What can i say but this song is just perfect :)

Well, he is Hansi Kursch after all.
All 100k of them
this song always makes me feel happy.
Ich hab so eine Gänsehaut bekommen es ist echt krass.
Ich wäre so gerne dabei gewesen sowas gibt es glaube ich nicht sehr oft :)

I listen to this song every day. It makes me feel good
Yalnız değilsin.

I usually don't like power metal and have never gotten super into this band but you can't deny the crowd interaction in this it warms my heart
Incredible.
Ich war dabei einfach nur gänsehaut pur! :)
I was there, it was like being with other 75000 friends singing together, one of my best memories of my life
So hyped to see them a week from now at the exact same festival!

4 minutes of pure awesomeness..
So I'm seeing Blind Guardian tonight.... Will this happen? I hope to god it does!
+metalmaniacmat It ALWAYS happens! ;-)
oh god, heard this one 1994 live in cologne. was the same atmosphere as here. great song
Brings a tear of most epic joy when i sing this Beauty!!!
ALL THE DUDES FISTS IN THE AIR❤
