I am a simple person. I see ghost, I click 😌
Haha. I am also a simple person, I like clicks :)
So, this song essentially closes out the first (instrumental) track on this album. They go very well together.
oh does it now? Once I've discover the full album I definitely need to personally go back and listen to the whole album in one go I think
@@scrupypov yeah, one of the main themes of the album is the cyclical rise and fall of empires, the first track, Imperium, is an instrumental track that simulates a nostalgic and triumphant anthem. Respite, with its use of Jack the Ripper imagery, inevitable demise, deception and dread reuses Imperium at the end to accentuate that cyclical nature of empires/life/eras
The Def Leppard similarities are probably why I like Ghost so much, I was 12 when Hysteria was released and I’ve played that for the past 37 years, daughter wanted to go to a Ghost concert 5 years ago and tbh I didn’t know much about Ghost but they helped me get through Covid and loved the fact that Joe sang Spillways with Tobias 🙌🙌
I definitely see the simmilarities betweene them, im glad it helped you through! I also love spillways, i dont know why it's just a fun addicting song for me
So the album (Impera) is about the rise and fall of empires, and this song being the closing song of the album is partly about the fall of the empire. The final part where it fades out matches the opening track (Imperium) on the album, which reflects the cyclic nature of empires rising and falling. As a song by itself, Respite on the Spitalfields is also about Jack the Ripper and the terror he inflicted without ever being caught.
A heavier song from Impera that still has some very interesting sound choices is Twenties. I'll be honest, it's a divisive song for some of the Ghost fandom, and you would probably know why after hearing it. Watcher in the Sky is one of the heavier tracks from Impera, as well. From the previous album (if you haven't already heard it) is Faith, which is quite a banger live.
That's quite a cool concept of everything going back around the same circles and such. Ohhh, I didn't realise it was about the Jack the ripper.
Weirdly I just recorded that today after being ill for a week lol, but as I'm playing catch up with everything it may be a week or so before the Twenties reaction comes out. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll add it to the list!
@@scrupypov No worries, and I'm glad you're enjoying Ghost!
This is literally my all time favorite Ghost song. It is saying something because their discography has no skips what so ever
They do have a lot of great songs! I think mine is currently spillways, that song just really hooked me in
Respite Of The Spitalfields is one of my favorite tracks by Ghost from the past few years (especially when it’s paired with the track before it on the album, Bite of Passage) I’m super happy it’s getting recognition even if I’m only seeing it months after the fact
From what I've heard i really enjoyed the album and im relatively new to Ghost, so it definitely deserves recognition. You've reminded me i haven't listened to this song in a while, so now I've gotta go do that!haha
Tobias said he aimed for a hysteria style for this album . Good ear mate
Yeah you can really hear it! and this is a great example of how they can do many styles
Even if (or because)its about Jack the Ripper,this will be one of my fav. songs for the rest of my life. For me its just perfect.
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, it's a great song!
Tips..Heavy = Messhuggah .. AOR = Pride of lions ..Youre doing amazing .Keep Up the good work =)
thanks for the suggestions I'll add them to the list. Thank you!
Best song of the entire album in my opinion. It has everything 👍
It is a very good song!
You need to listen to the first song in the album and you’ll see why they ended that way just like the end of an empire
😝 'Promosm'!
I had to look this up, are you saying "unsure of what to say, think, or do" or are you saying it as in "paying for subs, views or comments" because I have no idea as it came up with both when i looked this up
