Hey it's the 77 year old grandma, As I understand it they wrote this song, I love it. It is fast becoming my favorite, right up there with Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to heaven. Don't get me wrong I am a great fan of Heavy Metal and hard rock, but when you ad even a small orchestra and choir to Rock you get Greatness beyond description. They definitely nailed it.
New meaning to the words Power Ballad. The video took my breath away and Melodys vocals somehow always bring me to tears. Her voice goes right to my soul. This was epic. Next level stuff. Can't wait to see what else they bring to the table on the new album Queen of Hearts.
I've had the pleasure of meeting this family and hanging out at a BBQ with them. They are amazing kids and super nice. BTW, both Melody & Abi have the most beautiful, gorgeous eyes you could ever hope to have! 🤘🦇🤘
Glad you guys enjoyed their new song. This is quickly becoming one of my favorites of theirs (along with "Mars" and "Nothing"). You mentioned how talented they are at such a young age, but can we also take a moment to appreciate their song writing abilities as well? That's a beautifully written piece from lots of angles, and to think that kids that young can write at such a level is amazing. You can also definitely see how they continue to mature and grow as a band from their earlier stuff. Have a good one.
I am astounded by "Sail Away." The band & sound engineering & recording ideas are marvelous.. There is some strange DNA articulations here. Liliac is one of my most favorite bands. With a hunger to see them. Ethan looks to be as a hero just bursting into the scene.
From what I understand, their father wrote the orchestral piece. The orchestra is not part of the family, just hired for the song. I agree though, this is probably one of my favorites. I think lyrically, it is one of their more mature pieces and a really well-done arrangement.
No it’s just a small orchestra they hired for the video, papa is part of the production of the video. This kids are freaking amazing they grew on me like only a few bands of today has done
This is the first song that I have heard in YEARS that is so powerful that it sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes! They continue to impress me more and more
Latest ballad and video off the Queen of Hearts album. The orchestra and singers are extras. :) Queen of Hearts album is set to released on the 31st of Oct. All great songs words and music composed by them (mostly Sam and Melody) from their review of each in 3 part videos.
This song always gets to me. Well done musically and the vocals are amazing!!! Just superb all around a 10 + rating. My newest passion is liliac!!!❤️🎤🎧🎹🥁🎼🪕🎻
I look so forward to watching these kids grow into their craft. They are so very good but still so very young. Imagine them in even 10 years, if they are already capable of an orchestrated, dynamic song like this!!! So exciting!
him playing on the tower of rocks reminded me of the video by Heaven and Earth Band I don't know what love is where Stuart Smith has his solo but he's actually on a rock above the clouds
I played this for a work friend as we often sit in our cars before our afternoon shift and bs. He is mainly a country fan but loved this song. He compared Melody's voice to Bonnie Raitt. I can hear it. I listen to all types of music being a child of the 60s. Never know what is going to come out of my phone. Lately it has been a bunch of Liliac.
I ponder this as a farewell song to all their friends & loved ones in California as they just moved to Georgia. It seems to apply to her words. Every one of them had their own collection of friends.
I have never nerded out on a band as much as these talented young adults. I mean it, I have not bought shirts, posters, nothing in years. But this band is just amazing, that they are this talented at such young ages, and obviously have been training for years. What kind of complaints do mom and dad hear? oh mom, I don't want to be a bad ass rock star that blows people away? Good lord what a great group of talent. Anyway, nerding out! I actually bought an autographed guitar from them, it's just a beginner guitar, but all I really wanted was them to touch it, sign it, and me have it so I can say, I loved them before they were famous. I hope to see them play, though I suspect they will need much larger venues than a club or pier.
Epic new signature song. One of these days they are going to skyrocket. Right now they're like the biggest best kept secret in the music industry. I'm glad I found them early in their careers.
Love when you guys do reactions for this band. Let me know if you have an interest in seeing them live 11/5/2020 in St Peters, MO. Drinks and tickets on me....I'll be flying from Arizona to Iowa then driving down.
Their dad was a vocalist in the 80's, music career didn't take off. Both parents are from the Transylvania area (no joke), hence the name of the band (Liliac). Which translates to "Vampire" if I'm not mistaken. Since you asked.
LILIAC has two meanings in romanian (spoken also in Transilvania): 1. the flower and the tree lilac. 2. bat, the bloodsucker. Name of the band reffers to the second.
I see a lot of Liliac lately which is awesome. But you guys. I've seen you do covers of enter sandman. But you haven't done Liliacs yet. Which is freaking awesome. :)
Very powerful voice like none other would like to see him do shine down through the ghost I think she would do it justice another great singer Brett Smith of Shinedown I think they can sing a song together and sound powerful be the best song ever
If DIO was the lead singer of NIGHTWISH = this song..lol Also makes me think a lot of a Doro Pesch metal ballad. Just bought this album this morning, can't wat to get it.
This is beautiful!! I love your reactions to songs. Can you Dancing in the dark by Liliac and Chain of Thorns by Liliac!! Please!! I just watched one of your videos and I love you guys!!! New fan!!!
I don't think any of these other folks are kin. lol You guys don't really say it here, I don't think but the fact that these kids "wrote" and perform all of their original songs is to me almost as impressive as their amazing talent. I enjoy your reaction videos especially when you do great youtube bands that many people might not know about. I also enjoy your music, I hope to come across somebody reacting to your kickass sounds, someday. Thanks for your own contributions to the rock world.

No none of their family was there I don’t believe. They wrote this because they were leaving California and moving to Georgia, it’s a brand new life. It’s an awesome song!!
I've watched this a dozen times if I've watched it once. My favorite part of this reaction is watching Suzi Q get sucked into this song. Her face says it all...
So funny you should post that because I was going to mention the Bonnie-esque quality to Melody's voice. There are times when I hear Melody and think of early "It's a Heartache" Bonnie Tyler. But you are so right that Melody isn't a clone of Bonnie and has some other very unique qualities to her voice.
I'm watching your video like a dream... Someday I want my heart to reach you... Before I opened the channel, I got a good feeling from the unknown excitement at the door. Right now, at this hour, I'm just watching your video right here in front of my phone. How did you have such a wonderful talent that is full of the mysterious charm of your video? When the sleeping stars in the blue purple dawn sky were shining, I looked at your video and I felt like I was rowing across the Milky Way in a row of happiness, so it was very good. ? Do you know that my melancholy heart wants to be happy more and more after seeing your video that I met by chance? I enjoyed your video as beautiful as a star and happy as a dream. I hope your video will bloom as a flower in my heart and stay as a flower of undying love for a long time. A video on RUclips where an algorithm guided me My heart for a precious relationship. I would like to give you praise and support full of sincerity. No one is interested and my sad and lonely guitar and harmonica playing keeps going on and on every day, where and where will I stop? My dream of playing shows no hope at all, but when the blue dawn starlight illuminates my heart another day, I hold an old guitar in my arms and gently attach a cold harmonica to my lips. In the middle of the dark morning, I sit alone and play harmonica and guitar. When I first see your video that I met by chance, I can feel the beautiful love that comes from somewhere. Your video is so good that even the falling leaves are so good that it shakes and resonates with happiness. I think the video I'm watching right now is the coolest and the best.
This is my favourite song not only of Liliac I ment of all since a long time. I love this family and what they are doing 😍😍😍 Melody's powerful voice is sensational and a 🤘hammer🤘
Can't believe I watched another reaction to this song, it was their first time hearing Liliac, and their reaction was the band needs more polish, are they kidding, if that's what they got they should definitely give up reacting to music videos. My reaction was "they pissed me off big time". This young band is outstanding!
Can we just take a minute and say kudos to the drone operator? He/she was on point with it!!
If Liliac were a signed band..."Sail Away" would have won a Grammy for Best Video. and even Best Song.
I have "Queen of Hearts on CD...it's a "Must Have!"
All I can say is wow
Hey it's the 77 year old grandma, As I understand it they wrote this song, I love it. It is fast becoming my favorite, right up there with Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to heaven.

They have nailed the power ballad. 👍👍👍

A new level for LILIAC! Don't forget their new album Queen of Hearts (which includes Sail Away) Drops tomorrow 10/30/20.
I've had the pleasure of meeting this family and hanging out at a BBQ with them. They are amazing kids and super nice. BTW, both Melody & Abi have the most beautiful, gorgeous eyes you could ever hope to have! 🤘🦇🤘
their eyes are out of this world Gorgeous !! Melody has an angelic voice, beautiful too.
A very talented family with two beautiful girls and yep, killer eyes.
They get their eyes from Nineta, their mom. She has those same amazing eyes!!
Great reaction my favorite too. Liliac Rules 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The band is growing in front of our eyes improving with every song got full body chills with this one one of the best power ballads in years.
Great reaction, great video , awesome song!!! Barman: "What'll you have?" Samuel Cristea: "Solo on the rocks" lol
Glad you guys enjoyed their new song. This is quickly becoming one of my favorites of theirs (along with "Mars" and "Nothing").

Incredible... Love it!
Yeah, this song is written by Melody herself. which makes it even more amazing

No it’s just a small orchestra they hired for the video, papa is part of the production of the video. This kids are freaking amazing they grew on me like only a few bands of today has done
I think it is more not as they hired but invited people from their fan community .
The violin player they focused on to the right of the conductor is their mother. She is a member of the orchestra that is in the video.
This is the first song that I have heard in YEARS that is so powerful that it sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes! They continue to impress me more and more
Best rock ballad in 30 years!!
Now that's real music!
Thank Wolf Hunterz🤘🐴🐎💿📀💽💾🎥📷📸📻📺📡📽🔊🔉🔈📱🚪💡🖊🖇🎬🎨📰🛰🔭🔬🎧🎤🎶🎹🎶🎹🎶🎹🎟🎻🎺🎷🎸📚

They killed it as usual.

This is my favorite song, its perfect for that night when you are alone with a glass of wine just dreaming
This group is the best group I’ve heard in a long time all the song to me are number one you’re awesome band love you guys
Look up Liliac Family rock band sizzle reel. It shows the parents and all the kids with a little Liliac history.
This family has so much musical talent it's ridiculous lol
him playing on the tower of rocks reminded me of the video by Heaven and Earth Band I don't know what love is where Stuart Smith has his solo but he's actually on a rock above the clouds
This is one of my favorite songs by Liliac band from shawn Overton.
I think i'm on my 3rd time through the new Liliac album that dropped today. Blowing my mind how many bangers can be on one album.
Liliac vertigo from Woodstock ga
yessss liliac!!!

I see a lot of Liliac lately which is awesome. But you guys. I've seen you do covers of enter sandman. But you haven't done Liliacs yet. Which is freaking awesome. :)
Yeah that was great. They need to do more ballads like this.
They are amazing
Mama Liliac was even playing the violin...on the right side of the front row...
Very powerful voice like none other would like to see him do shine down through the ghost I think she would do it justice another great singer Brett Smith of Shinedown I think they can sing a song together and sound powerful be the best song ever
i love watching you two fall into the music as it starts.whats up whf.
In the back drop is the chorus that was hired for the video
Suzi Q your eyes are hypnotic!!! Lucky guy, dang!
They are freaking awesome man that guy can play a guitar he is only like 21!
Liliac is making rock fun all over again! :D
Chain of Thorns is amazing as well
If DIO was the lead singer of NIGHTWISH = this song..lol Also makes me think a lot of a Doro Pesch metal ballad. Just bought this album this morning, can't wat to get it.
NO only the 5 kids in the band Dad is their Manager Producer and mom is their BIGGEST Promoter
Yep, You are the best 🤘
You said it! Slash moment! Ive been saying this song is november rain style! Pure genius!!

Hey Old school Nwerds did an interview with poppa liliac!
This is the best band I’ve heard in forever- I’m not up to date having kiddos, KISS was my favorite, then later in life DISTURBED, yawl are amazing
I've watched this a dozen times if I've watched it once. My favorite part of this reaction is watching Suzi Q get sucked into this song. Her face says it all...
Mom and dad are from Romania. Dad is from Transylvania.
That wasn't a family reunion! lol
PLEASE Liliac......more ballads
Melody's voice is like Bonnie Tylor. But Melody uses her higher voice with pitch.
So funny you should post that because I was going to mention the Bonnie-esque quality to Melody's voice. There are times when I hear Melody and think of early "It's a Heartache" Bonnie Tyler. But you are so right that Melody isn't a clone of Bonnie and has some other very unique qualities to her voice.
If you have not seen their version of Enter Sandman it is recommended as Abigail really whips her hair.
sail away deep purple
Actually the rock pile solo isnt exactly slash, its the lead guitarist for Tears For Fears-Shout.
The string section are friends and acquaintances
Look up papa liliac he’s they’re dad and manager/ music producer is pretty awesome!

Who's on the piano in sail away
Ronnie James Dio's voice lives.🥰
You might be seeing the next Floor....
You guys need to do a reaction to Master of Puppets by Liliac.
