Lyrics "Where do we go from here? When these words have been unspoken. We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain. The convoy is still, still and weeping, yet I don't feel anything, but these walls around. "And the candles on cathedral walls chase the weak light under the saints eyes, over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost. In your mourning you're alone, so alone." This silence speaks a million words, words of comfort so shallow. How I wish even for one tear, but for my heart it is too late. Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate. Where do I go from here? The guardian angels quiet and near, slowly turning away, for hell is surely here. Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot, carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut. I will follow you, earth to earth. I will follow you, ashes to ashes. I will follow you, dust to dust. I will follow you! How I wish even for one tear, but for my heart it is too late, when sorrow turns to hate. "And the candles on cathedral walls chase the weak light under the Saints eyes over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost. In your mourning you're alone, so alone."
I was a new StS fan when this premiered in 2012, and was really excited about it. Little did I know that only a few months later my dad would be diagnosed with cancer, and he would die a year later. I never thought this song would become so real for me … RIP dad.
Rest in peace, Aleah. May the stars caress your brow, may Juha somehow find strength in life after you and may we all remember to live life to its' full extent. I teach my kids exactly that, because of you.
My dad passed in 2017, and he loved Swallow the Sun; His fave band was Tyr, but StS was also high up. This is my fave StS track, and it was his as well, as it helped us both cope with losing my mom in 2010. When dad lost his fight with cancer, I played this at his service for my family, and everybody cried. He taught me how to play guitar when I was 12, and I couldn't have asked for a better father. RIP Padre, I still smile every time I hear this song, remembering your reaction when you first heard it.
My condolences. I lost my father earlier this year and I understand that pain. My dad was a drummer and taught me to play so every time I sit at the kit it's in honor of my dad
As a Nightwish fan stumbling upon this song for the first time. It was a pleasant surprise to see Kai, and a bigger surprise to learn Annette on vocals. I would have never guessed it was her, definitely a different sound that she had in Nightwish and The Dark Element.
@@entelechy2020 Hey no freaking way, me too. Actually, I've always thought the singer was the woman in the video, but it looks like she did the vocals in studio off-camera. I was listening this in Spotify and notice the credits to Annette, and I'm like, no freaking way. Been listening to it since it was uploaded. Is this the so called Mandela effect XD
I'm in my 40s and I thought the older I got the more I would probably listen to country music but my taste gets heavier as I age. Never got why people liked growls but I sure love it now even if I have to look up the lyrics. I'm so glad I found STS. Their music catalog is so good that it doesnt seem fair to other bands. If your new to them their music will take you places emotionally and it's awesome. I'm going through some things like we all do in life and I'm thankful to have their music right now to be a form of much needed therapy. I'm surrounded by people that say I listen to devil music and I feel sorry for them to be so happy with mindless beer joint songs. My brother would have loved their music. RiP
When I was younger I listened to stuff on the faaaaaaaaaaar extreme spectrum of metal, but as I've gotten older I find myself mellowing out a lot finding a niche with bands like STS, Insomnium, Ghost Brigade, Isole, Decembre Noir etc. Something about the dichotomy of those bands is fascinating to me. As for people who talk shit about your musical preference, it's unavoidable. Regardless of what you listen to some asshole out there is going to trash talk you for it. It's honestly entertaining once you stop letting it bother you.
@@HarrietBeaumont happened to me, used to listen to just metal but started listening to old country (not new bro country BS) when I hit my 30’s. I still favor metal over country though.
I'm also in my 40's and very spiritual. This music is very healing. It's great for shadow work. I hope you get the support you deserve . I hope you found your soul tribe 🙏🎩🌹
That's not Annette that's Aleah Starbridge from Trees of Eternity she died a few years ago Annette Olzen is from Nightwish she was the singer before Floor Jansen Tarja Turunen was the original vocalist of Nightwish tho.
@@thedeadpoet_33 I wish I could find another band like STS, too. You might enjoy the album "Fallout" by the band Slumber. Not quite the same, but definitely very melancholy.

Absolutely brilliant with gorgeous female vocals. Beautiful women. Finnish metal is the finest metal on earth. Mind-numbing exquisite vocals. Cheers from the USA
This is still an incredible masterpiece. All members deserve a lot of credit, and I want to highlight Kai Hahto's performance because still many people think drummers are only there to keep pace and don't add much value to the music; they should pay close attention to what Kai does here
It's 2022 allready, but it never gets old and it still has the same affect.. heavy load of emotions & atmosphere. If you have lived some real life (ups and downs) you will get this song.
It's still my #1 song by StS. Even though they have a lot of gorgeous songs and I saw them live twice now. They don't play this one for many obvious reasons.
@@WeightOfTheOcean the girl who did vocals for the last albums lives in Houston and doesn't tour with them. They don't have female vocals with them and this particular song featured Aleah in a video and Anette as vocals. Neither is possible to recreate or bring to the tour.
@@maxmaxed2887 thanks for taking the time to explain to me! Appreciate it. They played Cathedral Walls once on the tour they just finished and Anette’s vocals were piped through. I wonder if they played it at the festival they closed at the tour with though?
I remember walking into a club in 2010, turning the corner and seeing this band playing. The first time I had heard or seen the song Falling World. I was blown away by it. Mikko was wearing the red Type O Negative Dead Again shirt and I knew this band would be unforgettable. Simply incredible.
Definitely this is the genre for Anette's voice, she sounds really good the melody of the music combines really well with her tone, sounds really good!!
Anette continues to prove that she is an amazing singers to the ungrateful haters that keep bashing her talent and her skills as a vocalist. Not only on Nightwish, but also in this video and with other artists, she always proved that she can pull out something absolutely staggering. What can I say...a great way to begin a new year! \m/
Those transitions.....they hit you different. What a glorious song. And it made me rethink about Annette.... Not in a good place in Nightwish, but on her own projects....DEFINITELY YES!!!
Anette is so talented.I really like her with Nightwish,both on Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum,but why don't they use this part of her voice on any song?It's wonderful!
If you think this song sucks then you obviously don't get it and probably never will. I love some of the most extreme bands out there,with tip top musicianship. This band is a different type of musicianship. Composition and emotion on a raw level.Not raw like Burzum,but the expression of emotions on a sincere level.
I never liked Burzum or Mayhem or any of those "old school" black metal doom metal whatever metal bands, but I agree with your comment. Doesn't have to be "extreme" to be good.
@@tlibito I really like the Filosofem album of Burzum (not so much the rest btw). I didn't even know about the drama untill recently. Music is personal taste so you got a incorrect and narrow minded view on it. MY personal taste does prefer Swallow the Sun way more because of the deep emotional connection the band obviously pours in the songs (a lot of doom bands got that trait), but that doesn't mean someone else has to agree.
Anette sounds so beautiful here. I didn't even recognize her. She sounds like Liv Kristine! Plus, Imaginaerum is a masterpiece. And I am a fan since NW's earliest albums.
Mikko has a stunning voice. I always tried to do that voice style change he does but fuck, my throat fails. All the band members deserve credit for this masterpiece
Maybe you are doing gutturals wrong (like using your actual vocal cord instead of a fake one). Indeed, he is awesome. I think you can train your growls if you put efforts into it.
@jussi __ that's what I'm saying. That's why they are called gutturals, they come from "guts". If you use your actual vocal cord instead of a fake one, plus wrong breathing, then you are definitely going to end up with damaged cords.
@jussi __ actually, Dio is an example of a belter. You can see it especially when he sings "Die Young" in Black Sabbath. To be he is at least in the top 5 of greatest metal signers
I just found the whole thing, never heard of this all. And I'm caught - in the heart breaking beautifulness of the voice of eternitity. The delicate dreamlike sensitivity - and powerless pain in the anger. Cannot stop listening, crying. RIP, You beautiful one

Gore singer. Most people call it harsh or heavy vocals. Growls, screams, yells, etc. It evokes a feeling and it's great to know the lyrics to the songs. Eventually you get an ear for it and can understand without lyrics.
Куда мы должны уйти отсюда? Когда эти слова будут не высказаны. Мы несём это бремя через призьму нежного летнего дождя Конвой все еще, еще и плачет, Пока я ничего не чувствую, но эти стены вокруг... И свечи на стенах собора преследуют слабый свет под глазами святых, над тобой и твоими разбитыми словами о тех, кого ты потерял. В своем трауре ты одинок, так одинок... " Это молчание молвит миллионами слов, слова утешения так не существенны. Как бы я хотел, даже на одну слезу, но для моего сердца это слишком поздно. Куда мне идти, когда печаль превращается в ненависть. Куда мне идти отсюда? Ангелы-хранители тихие и близкие, медленно отворачиваются, свидетельствуя, тому, что ад, безусловно, здесь. Каждый шаг к могиле- я разлагался.. неся твой белый гроб, мое сердце закрыто. Я буду следовать за тобой, земля к земле. Я буду следовать за тобой, пепел к пеплу. Я буду следовать за тобой, прах к праху. Я последую за тобой! Как бы я хотел, даже на одну слезу, но для моего сердца это слишком поздно, когда печаль превращается в ненависть. И свечи на стенах собора преследуют слабый свет под глазами святых, над тобой и твоими разбитыми словами о тех, кого ты потерял. В своем трауре ты одинок, так одинок... "
This is my first time actually hearing this band and his voice is soooo beautiful! As is the lady's...but when I heard those growls... I was so no expecting it xD but damn his growls are amazing!!!
The lady you're referring to is none other than Anette Olzon, former vocalist of Nightwish, which the drummer went on to join, and current vocalist of Alyson Avenue and The Dark Element.
When I first heard that Anette would be in this song, I thought: "Oh no...A pop song with Swallow The Sun? do not want!", but now that I've heard the song, I'm pleasantly surprised of how well she suit with these guys. It's a good song and it reminds me alot of good ol' Draconian.
For me this is the best band ever! They are masters in creating such a great atmosphere and I love the way they combine gloom, beauty and despair. This isn't just music, this speaks to your emotions...
Oh. I love this song, I love Swallow the Sun and I love Anette! But I wished Anette would sing a bit more in this, she matches this song so perfectly! Plans for a second colloberation on the next album?! d: In any case.. amazing job done here!
Absolutely! I despised her in NW because her vocal style was not matching to the band. But I was impressed by her performance here. As you pointed, this style is much more suited to her.
I actually think she did an amazing work on the "Dark Passion Play". Although it was an album already composed before she joined the band. The older Nightwish stuff were not suiting her style though -nomatter how much she tried. She is real joy again in this song to listen!
It's not only about the song itself, which is great in a more obvious way. This video is outstanding. The faraway looks in the band members eyes, totally immersed in the song; the coreographers movements and facial expressions; the simple yet dense interpretation of the actor (and Aleah); the black colour massive presence... It's mesmerizing, what a great video.
I listened to this song for the first time recently after my grandmother died. I cried so hard, I went into spasms. These guys capture what loss and sorrow feels like through guitar riffs. New favorite band. Always been a pretty heavy music leaning guy however these guys bring the heavy without taking away from musicianship. I love Swallow the sun.
En ole vielä hyväksynyt sitä,että elämä on kuolemista,vaikka kuinka menee päin helvettiä,ei vaan osaa. Maahisille kiitos mm. Te Swallow The Sun osaatte 😍
Oh! "Swallowwers" you bring out the best of me! Being "highly-sensitive" no problem but contribute to live! Thanx! Thanx! (working as an Artist now you inspire me endlessly!) Humanity will love you this! Yours completely, Romy (Germany).
EvilEmuEmpire I’m with you on that, and it seems growling could be more difficult, as it puts so much more strain on your vocals vs. just singing in the typical/conventional way.
Richteru - Seja um Lixo Dude, you either need to get a dictionary or learn how to read. My comment is not about defining words, it’s about admiring someone’s talents and vocals. A growl is a low guttural sound, “usually” monotonous, for a lack of a better term. Singing, in the most conventional/typical sense, is what you hear most of the times, from pop to rock, and even metal; there are actual notes, ranges, and pitches, the notes can go very high, or very low, there are melodies, etc.. Growling is mostly, if not, only reserved for metal genres. Mikko started out as a pure “growler”, and then started venturing out into unchartered territory, “singing”, watch some of his interviews, you might learn a thing or two about him, and about “singing.” The only concession I will give you here is that growling is a type of singing/vocals, but I would never describe any of his growls as “singing”, because I need to make a distinction where he growls and where he sings. It would be so absurd of me to one day say, wow Eminem “sang” on stage last night and killed it, just to give you an idea of the point I’m trying to make ☺️
Kai Hahto on drums?!?! How has this astonishing band flown under my radar. I never thought I would find a band to stand beside the Holy Trinity (Wintersun, Opeth, and Strapping Young Lad). I am truly blown away! Just heard Lumina Aurea for the first time and it tore me to pieces. Don't know what it is about that song. I had chills and tears running down my face. Only other song that has done that to me is Lonliness (winter), but in such a different way. These guys are the real deal! What are they putting in the water in Finland?
Anette's voice sounds, as StS members said, angelical... almost the same angelical touch Liv Kristine had in ToT's beginnings, I like it I heard StS so long ago, but I didn't like them... however, I loved this song, and not just for Anette, the guy's normal voice is nice, and I like his growling part. The song has a nice melody, I think I'll give another try to this band, so much time I don't listen much doom... thanks for the song, feelings are flowing ;)
💔Aleah, Most Beautiful, loved always and so very missed since the moment you left this world. But most assuredly you are most precious of all things that FOREVER is made of... ❤️
Very well filmed/edited, great visuals, and the song is so melancholic and beautiful. The concept behind this song makes you appreciate it even more. Congrats to STS for this great piece of work.
My beloved mother just passed away in coma 2 weeks ago..😢 her burial was indeed a perfect one like her time was also GOD's decision...well I dedicate this song for her each time I recall her smile as a blessings from above the sky...😔
I honestly don't know how I hadn't heard of this song, even of this band before RUclips recommended it to me on Sunday. You know when you hear even a sliver of music that hooks you in and you get goosebumps and your heart flutters, that happened with the opening bars, literally the first few seconds of melancholy sounding, hope tinged with despair guitars I've been fully hooked since. Mikko has an amazing voice so soft and beautiful one min then all growly and demony and back to soft again, good to hear Anette doing this style, her haunting voice goes perfectly with this and the music itself is perfection, I would love to hear this as an instrumental version I wonder how well it would work like that. Keep hitting replay. 🖤
Such a nice ballad. Silky smooth string arrangements, lush synth pads, haunting guitar arrpeggios, beautiful chorus melody. And then something happens at 3:40 that cannot be explained.
CATHEDRAL WALLS SONGTEXT Where do we go from here? When these words have been unspoken. We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain. The convoy is still, still and weeping, Yet I don′t feel anything, but these walls around. "And the candles on cathedral walls Chase the weak light under the saints eyes, Over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost. In your mourning you're alone, so alone." This silence speaks a million words, Words of comfort so shallow. How I wish even for one tear, But for my heart it is too late. Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate. Where do I go from here? The guardian angels quiet and near, Slowly turning away, for hell is surely here. Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot, Carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut. I will follow you, earth to earth. I will follow you, ashes to ashes. I will follow you, dust to dust. I will follow you! How I wish even for one tear, But for my heart it is too late, When sorrow turns to hate. "And the candles on cathedral walls Chase the weak light under the Saints eyes Over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost. In your mourning you′re alone, so alone."
After all these years this is still epic. Every time I have broken my heart, I listen to this.
Same
We are not different
@Patrick Busch Profoundly, we break our own hearts.
You & I are one in the same then, after all.
I can't believe I'm not the only one who does this.
Lyrics
"Where do we go from here?

yes
Is the chick in the video Annete too? Looks different from Nightwish times
Aleah❤. R.I.P. 😢😢😢
its like the whole time you can feel the pent up anger and then it all gets released, and then goes back to normal.
Exactlyyy
Puuure art
This is why i love STS and moonspell
Simple, real, natural ... sometimes gets better than any super talented solo player

absolutely!!!! i was shocked as well, this is beautiful. she should definitely do more of this style.
Anette continues to prove that she is an amazing singers to the ungrateful haters that keep bashing her talent and her skills as a vocalist. Not only on Nightwish, but also in this video and with other artists, she always proved that she can pull out something absolutely staggering. What can I say...a great way to begin a new year! \m/
This really captures finnish mentality, calm and furious at the sametime. Gotta love this
Клип очень эмоционален, пробирается холодом и тоской. А от женского вокала вообще бугры по спине. Очень круто.
This song is absolutely frickin beautiful.
These female vocals is so magically!!!
Those transitions.....they hit you different. What a glorious song.
And it made me rethink about Annette.... Not in a good place in Nightwish, but on her own projects....DEFINITELY YES!!!
The dancers added a powerful, unexpected element to a video both bleak and gorgeous.
Anette is so talented.I really like her with Nightwish,both on Dark Passion Play and Imaginaerum,but why don't they use this part of her voice on any song?It's wonderful!
Anette shines in "Imaginaerum"
Aleah R.I.P, angel.
+Natália Castro Awesome body!!!!
Gloomy Grim thank you!
The vocals in this tune are like the tide that keeps rolling back and crashing in
Good God, what a roller-coaster. Pure art and totally an eargasmic masterpiece.
Couldn't have said it any better. Love this band.
The opening melody of this song is composed of magical beauty unparalleled in the history of Metal...
If you think this song sucks then you obviously don't get it and probably never will. I love some of the most extreme bands out there,with tip top musicianship. This band is a different type of musicianship. Composition and emotion on a raw level.Not raw like Burzum,but the expression of emotions on a sincere level.
Damn, you said it all, perfectly, thank you, i don't have shit to add to it, other than BUY THIS !!!!!

I never liked Burzum or Mayhem or any of those "old school" black metal doom metal whatever metal bands, but I agree with your comment. Doesn't have to be "extreme" to be good.
@@tlibito I really like the Filosofem album of Burzum (not so much the rest btw). I didn't even know about the drama untill recently. Music is personal taste so you got a incorrect and narrow minded view on it.
MY personal taste does prefer Swallow the Sun way more because of the deep emotional connection the band obviously pours in the songs (a lot of doom bands got that trait), but that doesn't mean someone else has to agree.
Oh, I get it. And I'd love to "give it" to that beautiful chica too.
This song is underappreciated. This album is underappreciated. This band is underappreciated. A+ material.
Anette sounds so beautiful here. I didn't even recognize her. She sounds like Liv Kristine! Plus, Imaginaerum is a masterpiece. And I am a fan since NW's earliest albums.
Yea its studio....annete always sound almost great....in studulio
@@pedjavukmirovic6770Take your hateful ass out of here. You’re everywhere bashing the woman. We don’t need that negativity.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Kai is gettin it. Love his expressions while playing.
Mikko has a stunning voice. I always tried to do that voice style change he does but fuck, my throat fails. All the band members deserve credit for this masterpiece
Maybe you are doing gutturals wrong (like using your actual vocal cord instead of a fake one). Indeed, he is awesome. I think you can train your growls if you put efforts into it.
@jussi __ that's what I'm saying. That's why they are called gutturals, they come from "guts". If you use your actual vocal cord instead of a fake one, plus wrong breathing, then you are definitely going to end up with damaged cords.
@jussi __ actually, Dio is an example of a belter. You can see it especially when he sings "Die Young" in Black Sabbath. To be he is at least in the top 5 of greatest metal signers
@jussi __ I'm from Russia originally. Are you from Finland? Your name is Finnish
Such a beautiful and haunting song at the same time
I just found the whole thing, never heard of this all. And I'm caught - in the heart breaking beautifulness of the voice of eternitity. The delicate dreamlike sensitivity - and powerless pain in the anger. Cannot stop listening, crying. RIP, You beautiful one

So much passion ...
Where do we go from here?
When these words have been unspoken.
We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain.
The convoy is still, still and weeping,
yet I don't feel anything, but these walls around.
"And the candles on cathedral walls
chase the weak light under the saints eyes,
over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost.
In your mourning you're alone, so alone."
This silence speaks a million words,
words of comfort so shallow.
How I wish even for one tear,
but for my heart it is too late.
Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate.
Where do I go from here?
The guardian angels quiet and near,
slowly turning away, for hell is surely here.
Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot,
carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut.
I will follow you, earth to earth.
I will follow you, ashes to ashes.
I will follow you, dust to dust.
I will follow you!
How I wish even for one tear,
but for my heart it is too late,
when sorrow turns to hate.
"And the candles on cathedral walls
chase the weak light under the Saints eyes
over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost.
In your mourning you're alone, so alone."

flies away - with coffin of course ;-)
because every gore singers are like yea everybody must understand what im singin even the not english speaking personssaaarr!
Gore singer. Most people call it harsh or heavy vocals. Growls, screams, yells, etc. It evokes a feeling and it's great to know the lyrics to the songs. Eventually you get an ear for it and can understand without lyrics.
@@justinbrewster2012 i will never understand growls without lyrics, but i absolutely love them.
Куда мы должны уйти отсюда?
Когда эти слова будут не высказаны.
Мы несём это бремя через призьму нежного летнего дождя
Конвой все еще, еще и плачет,
Пока я ничего не чувствую, но эти стены вокруг...
И свечи на стенах собора
преследуют слабый свет под глазами святых,
над тобой и твоими разбитыми словами о тех, кого ты потерял.
В своем трауре ты одинок, так одинок... "
Это молчание молвит миллионами слов,
слова утешения так не существенны.
Как бы я хотел, даже на одну слезу,
но для моего сердца это слишком поздно.
Куда мне идти, когда печаль превращается в ненависть.
Куда мне идти отсюда?
Ангелы-хранители тихие и близкие,
медленно отворачиваются, свидетельствуя, тому, что ад, безусловно, здесь.
Каждый шаг к могиле- я разлагался..
неся твой белый гроб, мое сердце закрыто.
Я буду следовать за тобой, земля к земле.
Я буду следовать за тобой, пепел к пеплу.
Я буду следовать за тобой, прах к праху.
Я последую за тобой!
Как бы я хотел, даже на одну слезу,
но для моего сердца это слишком поздно,
когда печаль превращается в ненависть.
И свечи на стенах собора
преследуют слабый свет под глазами святых,
над тобой и твоими разбитыми словами о тех, кого ты потерял.
В своем трауре ты одинок, так одинок... "
This is my first time actually hearing this band and his voice is soooo beautiful! As is the lady's...but when I heard those growls... I was so no expecting it xD but damn his growls are amazing!!!
this used to be my track of choice for a long time, saw them open for kreator and accpet
And he's attractive! Hehe
Yep, that style of gutterals is pretty interesting. It's a nice, deep, wet sound.
Uor smile is so shining
The lady you're referring to is none other than Anette Olzon, former vocalist of Nightwish, which the drummer went on to join, and current vocalist of Alyson Avenue and The Dark Element.
This song is so haunting. I love it.
When I first heard that Anette would be in this song, I thought: "Oh no...A pop song with Swallow The Sun? do not want!", but now that I've heard the song, I'm pleasantly surprised of how well she suit with these guys. It's a good song and it reminds me alot of good ol' Draconian.
For me this is the best band ever! They are masters in creating such a great atmosphere and I love the way they combine gloom, beauty and despair. This isn't just music, this speaks to your emotions...
Oh. I love this song, I love Swallow the Sun and I love Anette! But I wished Anette would sing a bit more in this, she matches this song so perfectly!
Plans for a second colloberation on the next album?! d:
In any case.. amazing job done here!
Swallow The Sun's music is by far the most beautiful in Metal nowadays. Can't wait for the whole album.
Anette sounds like Liv Kristine here. I think her style is better suited for these softer, heavier genres. Rest Calm proved that.
Absolutely! I despised her in NW because her vocal style was not matching to the band. But I was impressed by her performance here. As you pointed, this style is much more suited to her.
I think so too. I didn't really like her vocals in Nightwish but she sounds great here.
I agree with you, but "Imaginaerum" on it's entirety is brilliantly sung by her.
Indie Side of Gaming Agreed. Imaginaerum is a masterpiece to me.
I actually think she did an amazing work on the "Dark Passion Play". Although it was an album already composed before she joined the band. The older Nightwish stuff were not suiting her style though -nomatter how much she tried. She is real joy again in this song to listen!
It's not only about the song itself, which is great in a more obvious way. This video is outstanding. The faraway looks in the band members eyes, totally immersed in the song; the coreographers movements and facial expressions; the simple yet dense interpretation of the actor (and Aleah); the black colour massive presence... It's mesmerizing, what a great video.
zosisrockmetal
The female vocals are by Anette Olzon. I couldn't believe it myself first for she indeed sounds like Liv Kristine here.
I miss their old-style chord structures but this album is growing on me. This song is just wonderful.
I listened to this song for the first time recently after my grandmother died. I cried so hard, I went into spasms. These guys capture what loss and sorrow feels like through guitar riffs. New favorite band. Always been a pretty heavy music leaning guy however these guys bring the heavy without taking away from musicianship.
I love Swallow the sun.
En ole vielä hyväksynyt sitä,että elämä on kuolemista,vaikka kuinka menee päin helvettiä,ei vaan osaa. Maahisille kiitos mm. Te Swallow The Sun osaatte 😍
wow, I love Annette´s voice :)
There is no other band that conveys pain at this level. 💔
Such an intense band, love and miss you guys!
This masterpiece breaks me.
That was massive and brilliant. Swallow The Sun and My Dying Bride both kick ass!
Тоска по тому, что было когда-то забыто... Молодцы! Блестяще!
Это плач по Алие Стедбридж. Царство ей небесное. Ушла в 39.
It's basically a long time ago synchronisation of sitting and standing up between a couple of friends.
A voz da Annette me lembrou muito a Liv Kristine
Ela é incrível
JUHA RAIVIO! One of the best composers of this genre. Definitely 'reminds me of what could never be forgotten!". BROKEN MIRRORS!!!!!!!
Who's listening in April 2024 ❤

Oh! "Swallowwers" you bring out the best of me! Being "highly-sensitive" no problem but contribute to live! Thanx! Thanx!
(working as an Artist now you inspire me endlessly!) Humanity will love you this! Yours completely, Romy (Germany).
Wow... Mikko and Anette are amazing during the first half...
Then It's pure doomy, melodic bliss
Cannot wait for the new album
For me personally one the most emotional, beautiful, powerful and melodic metal songs. Thanks guys 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful Aleah... you're a missing supernova in the pale dark world.
I can’t stop listening to this song, so well put together and done well, being a keyboardist I feel every verse
STS has a way of sincere expression that is, quite frankly, a level above any other modern metal act that I am aware of.
Check out Insomnium. STS has actually worked with them and they're one of the best melo-death bands in my opinion. They're also Finnish!
Check out "Daylight Dies" as well. I recommend songs like "Dismantling Devotion", "A Life Less Lived" and "Solitary Refinement"
Possibly my number 1 favorite songs and videos.
My favorite band. Aleah R. I. P. Angel
This is so dreamy.....beautiful. ❤
CHILLS EVERY FREAKING TIME
this going to be listened till the end. . .
This song is awesome!! Not only can Mikko growl, he can definitely sing as well!! One of my favorite bands, thanks for posting!!
RavenPoe1849 yeah, it seems that most people can only do one or the other well, so props to him, I can’t do either :)
Dude, Growling is singing '-'
EvilEmuEmpire I’m with you on that, and it seems growling could be more difficult, as it puts so much more strain on your vocals vs. just singing in the typical/conventional way.
Richteru - Seja um Lixo Dude, you either need to get a dictionary or learn how to read. My comment is not about defining words, it’s about admiring someone’s talents and vocals. A growl is a low guttural sound, “usually” monotonous, for a lack of a better term. Singing, in the most conventional/typical sense, is what you hear most of the times, from pop to rock, and even metal; there are actual notes, ranges, and pitches, the notes can go very high, or very low, there are melodies, etc.. Growling is mostly, if not, only reserved for metal genres. Mikko started out as a pure “growler”, and then started venturing out into unchartered territory, “singing”, watch some of his interviews, you might learn a thing or two about him, and about “singing.” The only concession I will give you here is that growling is a type of singing/vocals, but I would never describe any of his growls as “singing”, because I need to make a distinction where he growls and where he sings. It would be so absurd of me to one day say, wow Eminem “sang” on stage last night and killed it, just to give you an idea of the point I’m trying to make ☺️
@@RavenPoe-bz7qx ok, mate. Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. Have a nice day!
Kai Hahto on drums?!?! How has this astonishing band flown under my radar. I never thought I would find a band to stand beside the Holy Trinity (Wintersun, Opeth, and Strapping Young Lad). I am truly blown away! Just heard Lumina Aurea for the first time and it tore me to pieces. Don't know what it is about that song. I had chills and tears running down my face. Only other song that has done that to me is Lonliness (winter), but in such a different way. These guys are the real deal! What are they putting in the water in Finland?
Anette's voice sounds, as StS members said, angelical... almost the same angelical touch Liv Kristine had in ToT's beginnings, I like it
I heard StS so long ago, but I didn't like them... however, I loved this song, and not just for Anette, the guy's normal voice is nice, and I like his growling part. The song has a nice melody, I think I'll give another try to this band, so much time I don't listen much doom...
thanks for the song, feelings are flowing ;)
💔Aleah, Most Beautiful, loved always and so very missed since the moment you left this world. But most assuredly you are most precious of all things that FOREVER is made of...
❤️
Emotional Song and Video, Amazing.... took my breath away... the breakdown is just ..... WOW.
Very well filmed/edited, great visuals, and the song is so melancholic and beautiful. The concept behind this song makes you appreciate it even more. Congrats to STS for this great piece of work.
whoah I never expected Annette's voice to sound almost like Liv Kristine's , she fits in for a doom metal band..🤩
Who is liv cristine?
@@pedjavukmirovic6770Omfg 😂 Get educated
thrifted a cute swallow the sun jacket now i gotta listen to their music!!! sounds amazing
My beloved mother just passed away in coma 2 weeks ago..😢 her burial was indeed a perfect one like her time was also GOD's decision...well I dedicate this song for her each time I recall her smile as a blessings from above the sky...😔
So much more than money can buy, a forever lost treasure. Simply, art fulfilling its purpose with a duo we can now only regret!
I honestly don't know how I hadn't heard of this song, even of this band before RUclips recommended it to me on Sunday. You know when you hear even a sliver of music that hooks you in and you get goosebumps and your heart flutters, that happened with the opening bars, literally the first few seconds of melancholy sounding, hope tinged with despair guitars I've been fully hooked since. Mikko has an amazing voice so soft and beautiful one min then all growly and demony and back to soft again, good to hear Anette doing this style, her haunting voice goes perfectly with this and the music itself is perfection, I would love to hear this as an instrumental version I wonder how well it would work like that. Keep hitting replay. 🖤
Such a nice ballad. Silky smooth string arrangements, lush synth pads, haunting guitar arrpeggios, beautiful chorus melody. And then something happens at 3:40 that cannot be explained.
Can't stop watching this. I'm addicted to it. Amazing song and an amazing video that makes it that much better.
I was introduced to this band today by beautiful friend when I asked her whats her favorite band
WOW such a surprising but beautiful combination! I'm really happy that STS and Anette got united with this song.

Where do we go from here?

Thank you
So said she passed away so early. Love the combination of the two voices. I love to watch the video everytime I listen this song.
Old but gold 😎
