"So who the hell are you?" is always a good ice breaker with the ladies. 😆
Tommy can do whatever he wants hahaha 😂
And to Simone Simons yikes.
LOL
I mean her way of greeting was a slap on the ass...
Seeing Marcela dance like there is no tommorow fills my heart with joy. You go gurl!
Be all that Crossfit training - back on it!!
Arjen said he was kind of going for "sexy devils" with the parts of the furies... mission accomplished!! both of 'em!
Shut up many folks live long lives after being cancer free. Does she need to be vigilant of course but it doesn’t mean she will get cancer again.
@@tobymaxmax658 Just ignore the dude, he obviously has issues.
Marko Limić :
1- you go girl is a slang used by African-American guetto women (gangster)
2 - gurl is a transexual (female look with penis)
That's why Katy PERRY's song 《California Gurl 》she s wearing a wig and in California state there are more transsexual than in any other American state.
When you think about Perry is the daughter of evangelical pastors parents, and herself wanted to be a pastor too at one moment! Lol
Hahaha those furies dancing is 10/10
They were AMAZING...they did that dance over and over and over, and never complained. They got a standing ovation from the whole crew when that part was a wrap, for sure.
LOL ahahaha
Watching Marcela and Caroline dancing has temporarily cured my depression. 😭🧚🏽
Who knew they'd be so good?
If the Angel of Death really looks like Simone, i'm ready to go !!!
"You're cuter than the rest" Simone spitting facts in that
We need full Transitus movie - "Do it now, do it now, I think you know how" :D
and the stage version ofc! That would be a hell of a musical :P
This. I'd totally go to the Opera if that opera sounded more like this.
Actually Arjan is working on it. He's said it in a Dutch podcast last week. He's working with the legendary Dutch director Dick Maas.
Huh. Neat!

I always knew Simone was an amazing vocalist, but her comedic timing here was excellent. Love to see her doing more of that.
Tommy and Simone? In Arjen's mastery? Well YES YES YES
They both are AMAZING here!
@yerowww666 Ýep
Dragica, a cover/vocal mais bonita do youtube aqui ^^
@@GeraldoNunes91 aww thank you
@@DragicaOfficial 🥰💘😻🤘🎤 you deserve much more, love you!
Goddamit. I knew those weren't normal mushrooms.
"I was not expecting this, I really wasn't" 😲
Seriously, this music video is pretty awesome, maybe the best transitus video out so far. I think I'll re watch this at least ten times. Today.
Haha, that quote sounds familiar somehow, Paolo! Glad you like this one, it wasn't an easy one to make. Have fun the next 9 times!
@@ArjenALucassen Thanks Arjen! And thank you very much for such great album. Great music, great story, great arrangements!
Oh, my God, this is a dream come true......Tank's Arjen🤝
happy to see Marcela in excellent shape after what she has been through, great !!!
Thanks, Enrico! This was filmed before that, tho 😅
@@MarcelaBovio you did an excellent job on this record too, as in every collaboration with arjen and in all your other projects, you are a great professional, a big hug to you and your beautiful cat 😊
Enrico TheBluesman thank you so much! ❤️
@Marcela Bovio
I will always raise my glass and toast to the 10 years of Stream of Passion we got from you and Johan but I am happy to see you still around to grace us with your voice@'@!! Cheers to your good health & well-being!
I know love her voice and seems so genuinely nice plus she beat cancer hero above all
Simone... just... slapped... Tomm'ys BUTT! OMG xD I'm dead, but seriusly, this is amazing! Truly awesome!
Damn, Simone just gets better and better looking 😍
Hahah I didn't know our Marcela is also a great dancer! I'm amazed 10/10
I don't think she knew herself, Tugba! She and Caroline surprised everyone :-)
@@ArjenALucassen Caroline is magnificent too
@@ArjenALucassen I'm sure you inspired and made them dance with so much energy and fun
Türkiyenin gururu bee helal olsun tuğba
wow marcela has some devilish dancing skills
Tommy is DEFINITELY cuter than the rest of the line. Simone must have had a great day filming this!
I don't think Tommy didn't mind his view ;)
@@Carrinthe I hope Oliver's still OK with his band mate Tommy! 😅
@@MarcdeVries1982 And Cobra is OK with Simone, chances are they'll meet sooner or later through the Kamelot / Epica families :P
@@bcbitchkkv True, true! I forgot Kobra. We'll know if Kamelot has new singer soon! 😂
@@MarcdeVries1982 LOL if that means more time with Seventh Wonder, then I'm ok with that (buuut I doubt they'd ever go full-time) :D
We all knew that Simone is an Angel, right ? 😍
The Angel and her two furies were easily my favourite characters on this album. I am so bloody thrilled this video exists!!!!
I am just happy to live in the same Era as you, @Arjen Anthony Lucassen!
The transition from familiar Ayreon/Ambeon trippy music and visuals to sassy jazz coinciding with Simone's hilarious entrance is GENIUS!!!
Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice is gonna love this when she reacts to it XD
Oh god yes, she needs to see it now I can't possibly wait.
I hope she make it quickly
The landscape looks like some post-apocalyptic high tech sci-fi extraplanetary wastelands. Amazing video, brings even another dimension to the story.
“Alpha”, I believe, is the word you’re looking for.
Cool huh, Havard? Check out Julius Horsthuis' stuff, this guy is really amazing.
So glad to see Marcela and Caroline this time, i was so sad when they were not included on the Human Equation video
Diablo Swing Orchestra vibes. Loved it!
Love the comedy in this one, great video for a great song! I put the whole album on repeat mode, can't stop enjoying the story! This latest experiment is a huge success to me. A big "Thank You" to everyone involved, you all did an amazing job! BRAVISSIMI, hugs (and muffins) from Italy!
Thanks again, Mattia! Ciao :-)
"time and space" from someone who knows a thing or two about those things. And Simone is really an angel of death to die for.
Seeing them playing the characters that they sing as is a real blast. That scene of the angel and Daniel plays out almost exactly like I had envisioned it upon my first few times listening to it. Fantastic video, Arjen!
A duet of the 2 lead singers of my 2 favourite bands in the whole-wide world, currently...
“ Well Hello There...” :-D
General Kenobi
@@Cloud575501 that was exactly my though. Well from her looks she could bei his daughter
Oh! That's nice! Tommy, Caroline, Marcela and Simone in one video-clip. Thank you Arjen!! 🤘🏽 Also, incredible music, as always!!
I absolutely love this, thank you so much for this!
Love them all, but man how gorgeous are Tommy and Simone together...
Sweet mother of all music videos!!! How do you combine sci fi with symphonic metal and musical/swing? Just WOW!
I can't wait to see all this in the theatrical live shows with the original cast...
It has to come true...!!!
Right... first the movie... then the Broadway tour... then the Academy Awards (please let me dream!) :-)
@@ArjenALucassen Exactly, that's what I meant. I see we understand each other.
Thanx for this great piece of music - once again.
Groeten aan mijn moeder's thuisland vanuit het zuiden van Duitsland.
Holger
Yea! A touring show like this!? Even if you can't get original album cast, there's great singers out there waiting to be discovered in this amazing touring show! Take it to TEXAS, USA PLEASE!
@@ArjenALucassen Go, get them all :)
@@ArjenALucassen Haha c'mon Arjen, saying "dream" looks like it's so far, but look, Ayreon got so far with great voices that every musician would love to work with, great melodies and great storytelling. Ayreon can go everywhere you want, this is just a goal.
P.S: When I saw this vid, I remembered the comments you made in "The Day That The World Breaks Down". You must be proud. You all rock!
Simone "Well Hello there". Ooof!!
Why am I thinking that Simone was basically playing herself here? :oD
Excellent piece, Sire!
Damn Simone is not just a phenomenal voice but so gorgeous!
If you look at her throughout her career, you can see that she gets MORE beautiful as she ages. At 18 she was a pretty girl, at 28 a beautiful woman, and at 38 a stunning angel.
So much for "the wall."
This is so cringworthy and awesome at the same time! I like it!
That's the point of the album alot of people seem to miss.
@@benambrose8895 True, it is deliberately burlesque / campy. My pet theory as to how it fits in the Ayreon universe, is that it's one of the messages sent back in time, but ended up in the brain of a Victorian writer of gothic horror (as played by Tom Baker), who interpreted the story in this way instead of the way Ayreon (the minstrel) did. Hence '1884' instead of '2084'. A fire instead of a nuclear war, etc.
Thanks for this! The Angel of Death and the Furies has been my favorite bits so far. That part where "They are all alike
They die
They plead for their life
They lie
Then break down and cry"
is absolutely awesome! It's been stuck in my head for 3 days now and I'm loving it!
Thanks Arjen!
"well, hello there"
General Kenobi
Love how smoothly it goes from creepy to silly to sci-fi, just the right mood for the album. Also a great visual representation of Arjen's music
Shout out for MARCELA BOVIO and CAROLINE WESTENDORP as the wraiths! Their backing vocals really stood up on this album! The best parts!
Wow amaziing stuff, what i wouldn't give to see the whole album done to this quality.
Thanks! Yes, same here... it may come true!
I love this sassy Simone! Also, so nice to see her and Tommy working together. Metal beauties :)
At this point, tied with HVMAN :||: NATVRE (Nightwish) as my favorite album of the year. Everything surrounding Transitus has just added to an already great album and even after multiple listens still never gets old. Great work on another masterpiece of theatrical metal.
I was thinking the same. Human Nature may still have the edge in my book, but well :)
It's the line at 013 Tilburg for an Ayreon concert...... :P
No one could enter the St. Jozef church, while we waited for the concerts :D
Haha, good one! Well, in that line everyone would go the 'the good place', he he :-)
@@ArjenALucassen yea that is so true! and worth waiting in line for!
Cheesy as hell but I love it, especially that Marcela showing all kinds of sass 💚
The dance section 3:25 onwards is giving me a bigger Austin Powers vibe than I ever expected from Ayreon
0:00 Daniel’s Decent into Transitus (Storyteller: Tom Baker)
0:27 Fatum Horrificum: Graveyard (without lonely wind soundscape)

Every day I wake up to a strange new world. Today it just got a little more beautiful.
Dare i say.... nice!
Two words I didn't think I'd see in the same place: Ayreon and Choreography, wow
Like always, the ladies are lovely as ever. And honestly Tommy looks good in that suit. Also wonderful music!
MARCELA, Se nota todo el trabajo que ponés detrás de las producciones de Arjen, y para un oído entrenado, no pasa desapercibido, quienes realmente son los que les dan ese extra a cada producción, tu trabajo es genial detrás de cada disco y en cada aparición en vivo, junto con M.M, mis dos grandes heroes de todas las producciones, GRACIAS MARCELA POR TANTO, TQM, UN ABRAZO DESDE ARGENTINA !!!
Tommy should go to Broadway with his looks , voice, and charisma he could be a star
I'm quite sad that the pandemic made it impossible to finish up Transitus as a complete movie but this video here makes me even more thirsty for it in the future! And I know that you are trying everything to finish this up, Arjen. Thank you for this great journey on Transitus!
This song and video is kick ass! Love Simone's vocals.
One of my favorite songs from the new album. Simone as the angel of death is truly stunning!
Still Arjen's finest work! Nothing else comes close. Everything comes together in this masterpiece of Arjen's pen, Simone and Tommy are casting perfection in these roles and the mix is fantastic - alive. Bravo to all involved!
Arjen, I bet you’re beaming from ear to ear seeing rolling credits at the end!
Haha, right Stephen! I'm already having secret Academy Award dreams :-)
This song deserves a better visibility!
The world needs Furies & Great Beyond poster 😍 (or at least hi-res wallpaper ;) )
My Star Wars fan heart exploded when Simone said 'Hello there!'
There is only one word for that masterpiece.... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious thx!!!!
Hehehe Me encantó ese lado pícaro de Simone 😁 Gran vídeo y gran canción. Daniel y las furias 😈😈 estuvieron fenomenales.
Who else gets Pink Floyd vibes with Ayreon? I know I do, one of the many reasons I love Arjen and his music :)
The final solo instantly reminded me of pink floyd 😍
Soooo True! Thats why i like it
Indeed and also Jesus christ superstar!
THEORY TIME!
What if "Into the Electric Castle" takes place in Transitus? Not physically, but what if the Forever are somehow abusing the system and threw the eight humans into this place between life and death? I know Transitus seems to be a place for the dead, but it's not quite afterlife either. And I doupt the Angel and the Furies are dead either, so I'd suggest it's a in-between, like the name suggests. So, the Forever would've 'captured' the souls of the characters from ITEC, and sent them to the remnants of planet Alpa this way? The ones that die during the journey really die, and continue to afterlife, and the surviving ones go back to live on Earth? But it goes on! What if all these characters are the reincarnation of the same soul? We know from "The Universalt Migrator" that Futureman shares the soul with Ayreon, and they are also one of the Time Telepathy scientists. It's also suggested that Mr. L is part of this shared soul thanks to his visions. And with this, I think the Prodigy from "Theory of Everything" is also in this group (even though the album isn't offically connected to the main Ayreon lore, much like Transitus - this is just my theory) - his visions would be resulted by some after effect of Time Telepthy, or Waking Dreams from the Forever - or maybe those are the same technology in the end? Maybe the Dream Sequencer is also the same, and humans learn it thanks to the notes left by the Prodigy - people might not understand the theory of everything, but they could figure out parts of it. Daniel is also in this mix, just another version of the same soul. And, of course 'Me' from "The Human Equation" would be a part of this... And we know a Forever has lived his experiences using the Dream Sequencer, which means their souls are connected! That way, we can link all these characters and their souls to the Forever/Alphans - maybe Forever of the Stars also shares a soul with this group? However, the Forever are not dead - so maybe the souls can multiply, or the Forever really have no souls, as a long time after effect of liquid eternity? And maybe the Prophet from "The Source" is/shared the soul with Forever of the Stars, explaining his prophetic abilities? They'd be waking dreams from the future! And because all souls originated from the Universal Migrator, and Futureman becomes the New Migrator... The circle is completed! They're all the same soul, in different times, different places... When Futureman dies, the last human soul is freed, and as the New Migrator he is able to return them to the Forever, allowing them to feel emotions again.
What do you think? Did I solve the Human Equation? ;-) There are some holes/unclear parts, and lots of it is just hyphothesis. And I'm not saying this is official or something Arjen intended, again, it's just my theory I came up with because I'm way too obsessed with Ayreon. (I promised to Arjen I'd explain my theory, hope he sees it here.) Thanks for reading, and please add your thoughts! (Even if you think this is stupid!) Cheers, my fellow Ayreonauts, and many hugs!
Hmmm, that's an interesting theory... however, can I just comment with "MUFFIN"?
Mattia Galliani I FORGOT MUFFINS FROM MY THEORY! 🤦🏻♀️ Yes, the Universal Muffin is the true answer to the Human Equation. After all, weren't the albums called The Final Muffin, Actual Muffin, Into the Electric Muffin, The Universal Muffin (part 1: The Muffin Sequencer, part 2: Flight of the Muffin), The Muffin Equation (The Theater Muffin), 0🧁0🧁🧁00🧁, Theory of Muffin, The Muffin and Muffintus? Not to forget Waves of Muffins, Pools of Muffins, Strange Muffin, Fate of the Muffin, Muffin Machine (On this perfect muffin), Lost in the New Muffin and Gentle Muffin. Did I forget something? Anyways, thanks for reminding me, hugs! (Let's have mufgin later.)
@@AinoHiat There's also a missing chapter from the Human Equation... Day 21: Muffin! XD
I like this theory and it makes a lot of sense to me.
Haha, I knew you would come up with some very cool theory, Aino!
Amazing, Julius is a fractal genius
Fract.
What a magnificient delight for my ears
That album, those voices...wow!!!
You guys are the most spectacular group of artists I have ever heard of. Keep up the great work!
Amazing album from every1involved
Always a pleasure seeing Simone and Tommy in action! Fantastic song and video!
You Arjen f** genius!!! I love all of your creations! Cheers from Argentina
Simone ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is incredible! 😍
It's nice to see all these artists slightly out of their comfort zone (musically) and yet deliver it so effortly. I enjoyed the video.
Already OBSESSED with this album Arjen!!!! I dream one day to hear the powerful voice of the spanish singer Monica Naranjo too in an Ayreon album!!! 👏🥰 🔥🔥🔥
Well, hello there! It may have taken a while to get into it, but this is now my favourite track of Transitus together with Talk of the Town and Message from Beyond. I only wish Marcela had a solo moment, she does an amazing job on the choirs but her voice is so unique, I never get enough of it.
Btw: I bet the ass slap was 100% Simone's cheeky improvisation.
What I like about this album is the inclusion of these "paranormal" elements, like the angel and her furies.
And since this is in the Ayreon universe, that means that The Forever not only managed to reignite their spark by creating the humans but they also entertained beings from the beyond.
But there are so many possibilities, like this being another "Electric Castle" situation, or another of the stories seen through the dream sequencer.
I think what makes this album so different from the others is exactly what makes it so special and fit so well with the universe. Because it ignites the spark of speculation, which in these type of interconnected stories is exactly what compels the listener/reader.
Nothing short of amazing. I loved this album from the instant I heard it. This video was mind-blowing.
Mr. L, whoever coded those shaders is a math wizard and needs to be promoted.
"Fascinating, perplexing, and endlessly entertaining" is how I describe my feelings towards this video. I can tell that this wasn't the easiest video to make but I must say that it's definitely a job well done 👏 Thank you Arjen for this beautiful video!
5:38 That's a fantastic oniric landscape and guitar solo. I love that!
Valla que gran video!!!
Siempre me impresionas Marcela!!! Saludos desde leon gto!
The furies are the protagonist in this clip! Love them!
I think this might just be the first time I've seen Simone's ear..
In all seriousness though, love the song, love the video. Can't wait to hear more
Great job!!! Fantastic video, production, direction, singers perfomance....and wonderful music!!!
What a great, fun video! Looks like everyone had fun working on it, too! I really like the whole album! Congratulations Arjen!
I love this so much! Tommy and Simone compliment each other so much! I have a very similar style of singing!
And Simone really did grope the butt of her husband's band's lead singer XD.
That was awesome! Ya really gotta love the work everyone puts into an Ayreon album, let alone the music videos. :)
What the, how do you even come up with this? Arjen, you really outdid it with this video - definitely one of the most, shall I say, psychedelic things you've done (second perhaps only to the video for Pink Beatles in a Purple Zeppelin). Best possible singers chosen too. Absolutely amazing, 10/10 for this. Now please release videos (or movie?) like this for the entire album, pretty please?
Now I want the movie and the stage musical! I couldn't believe it when I saw the words Great Beyond in lights as that was something I imagined happening in the song!
Telepathic aliens, and now angels... T'is a strange universe...
Also this MV must have been very difficult to shoot. How many attempts to not explode in laughters? It's a very cool video... dare I say... Nice! (Ayreonauts now have a password to recognize each other. XD)
Masterpiece! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 THE GREAT ALBUM!!!! Thank you, Arjen!
i loved the album thanks Arjen fantastic video btw
Thank you so much for putting this video, this song, this album, this universe together
Marcela and Caroline got the moves!
Those horns...they're so epic! An edited version of this song could easily be the best 007 intro/theme song ever. How bout that?? :D
Ok, jokes aside.Besides being a killer track, this video is pretty awesome. Well done Arjen!
I am SOO exited to see another one of your uploads :D
That was beautiful !!!!
Can't wait to see and hear the entire album))))
What an amazing mini-movie. And godammit! Those old comic books, colorful and corny super heroes became millionaire movies and TV series. And here is an entire "Universe", just "waiting" to be fleshed out and expanded in all its potential. I wait for the day The Dream Sequencer, T.H.E, 01..., The Electric Castle and more will "transmutate" into something like that. It has SO much potential. I mean, it is already happening with all those amazing live performances. Now imagine these stories told as entire "TV" series, mixing musicals, storytelling and today's CGI... just... wow!
