The history of this song was Tobia’s grieving the loss of his older brother who tragically died. He hasn’t gotten over it. Sometimes when he sings it on stage you see he gets emotional. Sometimes turns away from the crowd. This, I feel, makes the song beautiful because it’s from his heart. Thank you Tobias for sharing your sadness with us! So much talent
I dedicate this everytime I listen to my son's father. He killed himself last year and I miss him. We had broken up but he was good and I wish we all had life eternal so I could tell him I miss him so much
my husband played this song the day we got married. we have extreamly different taste in music (I'm more of a folk person) he doesn't know this but when i miss him I like to go back and listen to this lol he makes me want to live forever sometimes I love my man 💘
This song is so haunting and extremely beautiful. The first time I heard it, I had my headphones almost full volume and i had goosebumps and tears running down my face in the dark. I don't cry anymore to this song, but it still grabs me by the heart like the first time. I love this song to bits. Cirice, Dance Macabre, and Witch Image the same aswell.
OKAY, satanist or NOT, Tobias is a great singer and songwriter. I do hope that GHOST continues to make great music, really, I've NEVER heard a bad song by GHOST ever.
Just discovering Ghost, but Satanism generally doesn't mean worshipping Satan. The devil is just a mascot for free will and deified as a mockery to Christianity. The tenants of Satanism are actually way better than the moral code you'll find in Abrahamic religion. It's pretty positive, unlike the death cults of Jadiasm, Christianity amd Islam.
Some people have said they think this is a love song. I myself, think that he has to be talking about death. No matter what this is about it’s still a beautiful song!!
Me too, this is absolutely a death song... about suicide. BTW, it's actually proven that when people are in love, they see things in a more positive way.
This makes me cry every time I hear it. To have that kind of connection with another is what dreams are made of. Damn you Papa. It pulls the heart strings and ties them into knots.
Eventually you will realize that he would not have wanted you to life in the shadow of his death. He would have wanted a care free life for you, because he truly loved you. You WILL recover like he always wanted you to do.
We just put our precious pug dog to sleep on Dec. 21, 2023. As I listen to this song and read the lyrics, the tears are flowing with a mixture of grief, love, & memories of the sweetest boy & companion I will ever know. 🐾😇🙏
Coming from a family of long time musicians, being an experienced guitar player, as well as an experienced sound reinforcement tech., I can truly say that these guys are one of the few true artists left out their that never fail to deliver what's expected. Absolutely amazing!
It's been a month since my mum died of bowel cancer and I'm sat here crying like a baby listening to this for the first time. But for the first time it actually feels like I'm properly letting go and it feels cathartic. I miss you mum. So much. X
Im only 16 and i lost 3 people along with my best friend in different ways, one cancer two passed away peacefully and my best friend took her own life, I understand what it's like honestly. But don't worry life will get better you just have to pull through
I love the way the line "If you had life eternal..." just sort of ends without finishing the thought, as if the speaker died while asking a question. I like to think the rest would have been "...would it be worth it?"
I end that in my mind with “…then we’d never have to miss each other.” This song makes me think about my late sister, so that’s why I think of it that way.
If Tobias never records another note, he's on his way to Valhalla. Just a damn genius for all time. In 10, 15, whatever years, Ghost will pass everbody except the Beatles in terms of greatness. There's no filler with this band. Every song is a hit and every song is banger. No artist this century and no artist since the late 80s, early 90s has affected me this deeply. My love for Ghost/Tobias is endless and boundless. There's nothing else left to say ❤
This is a deep song.. Can anyone truly love eternally? Can anyone long for another eternally? I think this list needs to be checked off before any get married.
My brother sent me this song before he went missing. He was found deceased a few months later. I recently reached out to a medium. She told me my brother is telling me to listen to the songs he sent me. I didn't tell anyone he sent me songs before he went missing.
@Induxvideos There are different kind of people in any profession and it wouldn't be fair to say "they are all this" or "they are all that". All human beings are different, and some mediums are probably trying to psychologically help other people. But you know, one could easily say to someone else "listen to the songs your brother sent you" without knowing anything about the reality of it :-/ when you have siblings, it can be expected that you share things together...you don't need to be a medium to understand that. I am doing general talk here, I am not writing about that specific medium. I don't judge people I don't know.
This song makes me think of my partner I lost. I think it's true that our loved ones communicate with us through things like music, poetry, books, films, etc... I'm sorry for your loss, I actually know your pain. I also almost lost my brother many times and I can't imagine your pain. I hope you have a dream about him. I gained a lot of closure when I got to see my loved one again in my dream. All the best to you 🤍🖤🌟✨🌙🪐🌌🌗
I Heard this on a radiostation yestersay night..i wanted it so badly, sounded like the awesome voice of ghost i searched it and poof there was a new album..im so glad i found it..Ghost is my fav band eternal...i love this song so bad its so Beautiful!!
15 years. I can still hear her name, still touch her soul, feel the longing. It really was forever. Moving forward is the hardest thing I do still. Till paradise, till we stand at the shores on the ocean of dreams, and stand together forever.
I have just heard the whole "prequel" CD again, and I must say that this CD By Ghost is the best whole CD that I have ever heard. Every song is just so damn good. I could listen to it many times and still just love it.
im so sorry for your loss. my cousin who basically grew up with me like a sister also passed a month ago and it's rocked our family. This songs a hard one to hear but I keep coming back to it.
Something about Ghost that I feel is under appreciated is how amazing the final song in each album is. Every album has an absolutely perfect finale that encapsulates their themes and styles so well while also feeling like a satisfying way to end.
Tobias Forge, he's the only official member of Ghost. The rest are hire musicians who are in contract while on tour. But Tobias records every note and plays every instrument in studio himself
I lost my Dad on Monday August 30, 2021. This song helps me get through every day. You might want to also listen to Mammoth WVH and his song "Distance" - I swear he wrote that one for me. Stay strong, that's what rock music does, It keeps us strong!
Hearing this beautiful song on a Saturday evening at the end of April 2022 for the first time, never heard of these guys before and thinking back to around this time 3 years ago getting close to the Saturday evening in May 2019 when I got a phone call telling me that my wife had passed away the lyrics just hit hard can't believe I am crying
I loved this song and when my Mom died a few months ago it took on an entirely different meaning to me. I heard his pain in his words. I understood them. This song has helped me get through the worst death in my lifetime. I played it over and over crying in the bath. I still cry and i still mourn but i saw that he didn't let death kill him. He didn't let it destroy his life and career
Tobias wrote all the songs and this one aswell. Vincent Pontare and Salem al Fakir provided backing vocals and keyboards. So they didn't write this as it says in the info.
You can say my name forever, forever, forever! Where's my soulmate? Eternal love is the only love I'm looking for! Great song! I think if I went to a live show of Ghost I would find who he would be!
I hope you'll find your soulmate. But love is tricky question and the answer is mostly unknown, we are being blinded and guided by that blinding light. We are grateful for what our mind tells us to find someone to be happily ever after loving someone. But you'll find your soulmate. Sometimes it happens without searching for anything.
To me, I feel as if this is a song from the point of Lucifer to you. Putting the thought into your head about an offer for your soul. It's rather beautiful. The moment of just letting go, would be to spend eternity in the company of Lucifer. Forever.
Hell yeah person under my comment. This whole album is fantastic. I don't worship the devil but the music's I listen to do😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭 love this to hell.😈
Over 2 years ago, I found this song when I fell down. And now it happened again and I heard this song by chance. I hope that in the next 2 years I will come and listen to this song again under better circumstances. This song really took my soul..
*So far, this the most beautiful song I've heard all year. Seriously! And it just so happened 2 b a Ghost song! What a funny coincidence that is since Ghost are one of my favourite bands!! :)*
I love these guys beriah'd it sounds like they took a time machine from the eighties and nineties and came to the present to make the same kick ass music
Religions and politics aside: This song is heartfelt, impactful and resonates with the beauty of both love, life and loss. Either way it goes, if there was a song that cried from a soul, it is this.

I dedicate this everytime I listen to my son's father. He killed himself last year and I miss him. We had broken up but he was good and I wish we all had life eternal so I could tell him I miss him so much
I want this song to be played at my wedding and my funeral
What song then shall be played in your eternal damnation? Just curious to hear.
@@9.6.3 idk something that says back off and let someone be themselves sounds good 🙂
Discussion ends where understanding ends.
@@9.6.3 you and your religion are annoying THIS discussion has ended now
same tho
my husband played this song the day we got married. we have extreamly different taste in music (I'm more of a folk person) he doesn't know this but when i miss him I like to go back and listen to this lol he makes me want to live forever sometimes I love my man 💘
I hope y'all are still doing good
@@noballs719 still married and seeing ghost with him in Illinois on tuseday 💝
“When I miss him” IS HE DEAD????
That sounds so right ❤❤
This song is so haunting and extremely beautiful. The first time I heard it, I had my headphones almost full volume and i had goosebumps and tears running down my face in the dark. I don't cry anymore to this song, but it still grabs me by the heart like the first time. I love this song to bits. Cirice, Dance Macabre, and Witch Image the same aswell.
I am a 64 year old woman I Just Love This My Husband died in June I JUST LOVE THIS SONG
Rest in peace.
Rest In Peace!
Miss, my condolences. RIP. Stay strong.
@@termotanque4911 Nice name.
Rest in peace, his soul forever walks in green pastures waiting for you
the harmonies in ghost songs just get me
OKAY, satanist or NOT, Tobias is a great singer and songwriter. I do hope that GHOST continues to make great music, really, I've NEVER heard a bad song by GHOST ever.
Ghost was never a satanist band, nor Tobias. Just read some of his interviews. :)
Yes ghosts connection with satan/ imagery is only tongue in cheek. But I agree they’re music is incredible. If you can see them live, they’re amazing!
Peras peras tho..
Its a theme, it doesnt mean they are satanic, and even if they are it doesnt matter, they make beatiful music
Just discovering Ghost, but Satanism generally doesn't mean worshipping Satan. The devil is just a mascot for free will and deified as a mockery to Christianity.

So fucking beautiful tobias is such an incredible singer and songwriter
I AGREE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR TOBIAS WROTE THIS HIS VOICE IS AMAZING AND UNCHALLENGED BY ANYONE , FORR PEPEGA!
Besides the fact he doesn't write any songs and the ghouls did all the songs , he just sings
@@LittlePyroYTB not sure about this. What Ghouls? Now the line up is total different from the beginning of the band. I think Tobias is the songwriter.
@@marklawless8829 Yeah i did not do my reserch right . He dropped the ghouls and writed the Cardinal Line-up alone
I agree my bro, when I die I want this to be played!
Some people have said they think this is a love song. I myself, think that he has to be talking about death. No matter what this is about it’s still a beautiful song!!
Me too, this is absolutely a death song... about suicide. BTW, it's actually proven that when people are in love, they see things in a more positive way.
Why can't it be both? Sounds to me like it's about the singer's true love being on her deathbed.
@@Smapti “I appear missing” by QOTSA is a lot like this song. It’s a song about death.
Id say its both imo
i totally agree with you. The lyrics pretty much says it all in my eyes!
This makes me cry every time I hear it. To have that kind of connection with another is what dreams are made of. Damn you Papa. It pulls the heart strings and ties them into knots.
My older brother just recently passed away. I will never recover from his death. I dedicate this song to him. R.I.P. Samuel Salazar
Eventually you will realize that he would not have wanted you to life in the shadow of his death. He would have wanted a care free life for you, because he truly loved you. You WILL recover like he always wanted you to do.
Same with my sister.
RIP Samuel 🌹

Beautifull song - that March, on the 22nd, it was mine and my husband's wedding song.
THAT IS SO CUTE OMG
Hello darling I love to dance with you again to this
Epic
Great song, you've made a great choice.
Probably their most underrated track
This has to be one of the best looking lyric videos i've ever seen. Such smooth animation.
It's been a month since my mum died of bowel cancer and I'm sat here crying like a baby listening to this for the first time. But for the first time it actually feels like I'm properly letting go and it feels cathartic. I miss you mum. So much. X
Im only 16 and i lost 3 people along with my best friend in different ways, one cancer two passed away peacefully and my best friend took her own life, I understand what it's like honestly. But don't worry life will get better you just have to pull through
Lost my dad from bowel cance too, 11 month ago. Stay strong ❤
Have these guys made a bad song? Just discovered this band from a friend and literally everything is fire.
No.
I love the way the line "If you had life eternal..." just sort of ends without finishing the thought, as if the speaker died while asking a question.
I like to think the rest would have been "...would it be worth it?"
Thank you for expressing what I wanted to say but couldn’t find the words 😌
I end that in my mind with “…then we’d never have to miss each other.”
This song makes me think about my late sister, so that’s why I think of it that way.
If Tobias never records another note, he's on his way to Valhalla. Just a damn genius for all time. In 10, 15, whatever years, Ghost will pass everbody except the Beatles in terms of greatness.

My love for Ghost/Tobias is endless and boundless. There's nothing else left to say ❤
Oh Queen already took their rightful place too
I agree, he's such a genius.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
This is a deep song..
Can anyone truly love eternally?
Can anyone long for another eternally?
I think this list needs to be checked off before any get married.
My brother sent me this song before he went missing. He was found deceased a few months later. I recently reached out to a medium. She told me my brother is telling me to listen to the songs he sent me. I didn't tell anyone he sent me songs before he went missing.
Soory for your loss.
I'm so sorry I hope and pray that whomever did that gets paid back thousand fold
Sorry for your loss, hate to be that guy but psychics and mediums are bullshit artists.
Your brother lives in your heart.
Forever and ever.

This song literally gives me chills- ive never experienced that with any song in my life
My wife and I danced to this as our first dance at our wedding :)
My fiance plan to have our first dance to this song also ❤️❤️ congratulations
@@lisaozenich congrats to you as well!!
My man and I will be at our wedding too :)
@@hubbahubbacole super congrats!
Can we talk about the fact I've heard no one talk about this song and this shit slaps the heart man
It does
Well, we are talking about it here:) POP music will NOT have songs like this one.
Brought a tear to my eye while taking my morning shit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best comment of the day...no, best comment of the year!
😂😂😂😂😂
Did you wipe nice and good
Lmao that was unexpected 😂
I need a one hour loop of just this song.
Loop video dislike this comment
1:56 that note does it for me.... it sums up the whole ghost for me and brings back memories from summer of 2016 when i started listening to ghost
I Heard this on a radiostation yestersay night..i wanted it so badly, sounded like the awesome voice of ghost i searched it and poof there was a new album..im so glad i found it..Ghost is my fav band eternal...i love this song so bad its so Beautiful!!
There's something about the way he sings that last "if you have life eternal"
15 years. I can still hear her name, still touch her soul, feel the longing. It really was forever. Moving forward is the hardest thing I do still. Till paradise, till we stand at the shores on the ocean of dreams, and stand together forever.
There are no words to describe this song. It's just beautiful.
Abba influence is hard to deny here. Great track.
I have just heard the whole "prequel" CD again, and I must say that this CD By Ghost is the best whole CD that I have ever heard. Every song is just so damn good. I could listen to it many times and still just love it.
It's been a damn while since I bought an actual CD and I can say this one was sooooo worth it. Every song worthy of being a single.
Yeah dude this song hit hard this year, held my mom's hands until she passed, this is just such a real song
im so sorry for your loss. my cousin who basically grew up with me like a sister also passed a month ago and it's rocked our family. This songs a hard one to hear but I keep coming back to it.
I always loved this song, but after learning about Tobias' brother's death I'm convinced it has even a deeper meaning.
One of the best songs I ever heard period.
The lyrics are amazing. This song is one of my favorites by Ghost. Along with Faith.
This man truly does have a beautiful voice, as soon as he starts singing and immediately Cuts right through me😲😱😭
the instruments sound sooo so beautiful, but my GOD his VOICE.
I love this song from the bottom of my heart❤️❤️ I want this to be played in my wedding and funeral
Energy says more than narrative. I love this song.
Something about Ghost that I feel is under appreciated is how amazing the final song in each album is. Every album has an absolutely perfect finale that encapsulates their themes and styles so well while also feeling like a satisfying way to end.
I see them for the first time live in august and I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!! 😊
This song is so beautiful
Drums are absolutely AWESOME!!!
I never expected to be close to tears from a song...
His Voice is magical!!! I get goosebumps!!! I want to meet him so bad!
I had goosebumps the first time I heard the lyrics. Who in Ghost wrote the song?
Tobias Forge, their frontman.
Front man and founder
Tobias Forge, he's the only official member of Ghost. The rest are hire musicians who are in contract while on tour. But Tobias records every note and plays every instrument in studio himself
This takes me back the day my dad died, 16 june 2018. miss him still every day
I apologize for your loss. My father passed last year and I also get taken back with this song as well. Stay strong my friend
@@eddieflores635 stay strong my friend. It hurts every day. I wish you all the best, but the memories will stay a lifetime.

Cant imagine missing the one or ones you love if you had life eternal. Once in a while just say their names one more time so they can live again...

i havent been so big fan of ghost but i think this is one of the most beautiful and amazing songs from 2010's
I agree Melissa. When my father died, this song was the one that I kept hearing in my head, and I played at his service.
I loved this song and when my Mom died a few months ago it took on an entirely different meaning to me. I heard his pain in his words. I understood them. This song has helped me get through the worst death in my lifetime. I played it over and over crying in the bath. I still cry and i still mourn but i saw that he didn't let death kill him. He didn't let it destroy his life and career
I just hear this song for the first time because a friend recommended it and he was right, this song is soooo good and I love it
OMG!! I never heard of them.. Till my sister seen them open up for another group.. Absolutely LOOOVVVEEE THEM!!! 💚🎶
Tobias wrote all the songs and this one aswell. Vincent Pontare and Salem al Fakir provided backing vocals and keyboards. So they didn't write this as it says in the info.
Satan be like... "Would you let me touch your soul-forever?"
#praisethelord > #notme
This is just a beautiful song to grief to
This is Beautiful
Almost as beautiful as you /j
You can say my name forever, forever, forever! Where's my soulmate? Eternal love is the only love I'm looking for! Great song! I think if I went to a live show of Ghost I would find who he would be!
I hope you'll find your soulmate. But love is tricky question and the answer is mostly unknown, we are being blinded and guided by that blinding light. We are grateful for what our mind tells us to find someone to be happily ever after loving someone.
But you'll find your soulmate. Sometimes it happens without searching for anything.
This song is so beautiful it invoked tears.
This is the song I want to play when I die.
This for me is about love put out to someone. Right in the feels. Amazing song
I'm awestuck....no words can describe
This is well put and very pretty. Plus I love ghost
To me, I feel as if this is a song from the point of Lucifer to you. Putting the thought into your head about an offer for your soul. It's rather beautiful. The moment of just letting go, would be to spend eternity in the company of Lucifer. Forever.
Our energy will be as one. Forever.
Hell yeah person under my comment. This whole album is fantastic. I don't worship the devil but the music's I listen to do😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭 love this to hell.😈
This is the moment of just letting go.
yup thats what the song said.
holy shit this is such a cool song and one of my favourite ghost songs I've listened to
I think of my Dad the entire time I listen to this. He passed away in early 2021.
Over 2 years ago, I found this song when I fell down. And now it happened again and I heard this song by chance. I hope that in the next 2 years I will come and listen to this song again under better circumstances. This song really took my soul..
Banda maravilhosa!!!
Have to hear this song EVERY DAMN DAY!!! 🖤🎼🖤🎼🖤🎼🖤
*So far, this the most beautiful song I've heard all year. Seriously! And it just so happened 2 b a Ghost song! What a funny coincidence that is since Ghost are one of my favourite bands!! :)*
I love these guys beriah'd it sounds like they took a time machine from the eighties and nineties and came to the present to make the same kick ass music
Beautiful! Just beautiful! Well done ghost!
Awesome!Ghost are the best nowadays!
Ghost is one of those rare bands that come out and your like wow
Beyond superb. ❤
This beautiful song probably means different things to different people. That's the sign of a song which will endure.
Bless you, you beautiful, unholy bastards. You’ve given me a song to write to. Guess I decided right when I looked up more of your music tonight.
:3
Religions and politics aside:
This song is heartfelt, impactful and resonates with the beauty of both love, life and loss. Either way it goes, if there was a song that cried from a soul, it is this.
Tobias is a genius.
He is my idol.
beautiful song, and nice lyric video..
Others try to be the fastest one, the noisiest ones...Ghost do the most difficult thing...write good SONGS.
I love dis song ❤️
J'adore ghost
This song makes me cry always :(
Merci pour ces années Fufu \m/ pleins de réussite pour toi DarkFuneral
