I'm about 2 weeks into this band (random YT search of the word "ghost" for paranormal vids) and holy hell are they fracking awesome. Every album, every song available I've devoured endlessly and will continue to do so even after Lacrimus drops their new album here shortly. Very happy I've discovered this band.
I wonder if it is designed that way. Something about their music. Or maybe not. I'm not sure. Cause I've read that everywhere. Someone discovers Ghost and listens to All and I mean ALL their tracks. Even the E.P.s and special bonus tracks. I've never had that happen with any other band I listen too. I like a few tracks on a few albums and will listen occasionally when they pop into my head. But I've never just had the urge to listen to ALL their music, like with Ghost here. The only two other bands I've kinda had similar experiences with are Gorillaz and Foo Fighters. Gorillaz I own all but 2 albums and one Demo/E.P., and for Foo Fighters I own 5 albums. But I don't know... I could be reading too much into it. Especially with the subject matter of their music, it could just be good music. But I think there's some kind of conspiracy going on because of all the satanic themes and such. But really no. Cause I've heard people say they don't really like Ghost and others say they hate it. So... I don't know. Yeah... The more I think about it. I feel I am putting to much thought into it. Cause I've shown my brothers this band, and even some other family members. Some are indifferent about it. And some get a song stuck in their head sometimes. But nobody is foaming at the mouth for all of Ghost's songs. So I think I'm overreacting. Although I can tell you right now personally I would love to own all of Ghost albums, E.P.s, bonus tracks and all. That's probably just me then isn't it. Yeah I think so. Sorry if this sounds very rambly... I literally typed this as I was thinking it. So... It probably sounds very crazy. Oh well. I guess the moral of the story is. Some people REALLY like Ghost like us, some are; "Meh..." About it and others hate it, or say the band fell off. And there is no weird sorta magic in their music, I just personally thought so, cause of the subject matter and my personal beliefs. Alright! Your local psychopath is outta here! See ya!
Call me little sunshine is a quote from Alistair Crowley. Mephistopheles is Satan:s man on earth. The song is about him reaching out telling you that he always will be there for you. Do Kaisarion next.
@@brettbays7530 it's the devil tempting the person to give in to him, to accept his help and believe he is there to help, and it's a metaphor for how cults and religious institutions trick people into trusting them, it's very similar to another song of theirs, Cirice
@@kb1629 I said isn't exactly. When ppl assume Satanism they think sacrificing babies and believing in a physical Satan lol as far as their music goes, They're not trying to convert ppl...they point out the parody within religion and the rest is in fact theater
This song went to #1 on the Billboard rock charts. A song about calling out to Satan (ironically, obviously). It's amazing. My favorite songs by them are From the Pinnacle to the Pit (Satan), Rats (plague & probably Tobias' former touring band mates), Kiss the Go-Goat (set in the 60s), & from this album Darkness at the Heart of my Love. Oh and you should check out some live videos. They are incredible performers.
The live version of He Is from the Swedish Grammis and the live version of Cirice from their performance on The Colbert Show were the first two songs I heard after stumbling on their Enter Sandman cover. They're amazing.
Ghost has a very interesting catalog. As a Ghost fan I would suggest the following: 1) Cirice- they won a Grammy for this one in 2016 for Best Hard Rock/ Metal Performance. Similar vibe to Call Me Little Sunshine 2) Rats- Banger of a track with a pretty cool video. 3) Kaisarion - off the newest album. Lyrics based off actual events. 4) Dance Macabre - 80’s pop-metal vibe 5) From the Pinnacle to the Pit- song about the fall of Satan 6) Ritual - song sounds innocent, but the lyrics make it really dark and evil 7) Year Zero - basically hailing the rise of Satan 8) He Is - another interesting twist. Talking about Satan the same way people talk about God/Jesus
I love ghost cause they don't take themselves as serious people think they do from how they look. their latest album Impera is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend twenties for their heaviest track, then spillways, Griftwood and Kaiserion for more 80's tunes.
The first time I heard this I dismissed the lyrics as just another song about 'Satan' based on the past material. After watching the video "I" interpret this differently now. I hear a song about drug addiction. Sunshine or Yellow Sunshine is LSD. Mephistopheles is confused by most as a metaphor for Satan however Mephistopheles was a demon, that 'demon' drug reference is self explanatory. "call out in the middle of the night", craving "light up in the middle of the day", in the video the pipe is representative of smoking heroin "Ease up to the hunter from the prey", seeking the fix and becoming its victim "And transform indefinitely", death "Even when you're dead and gone, You can always reach me", I have a friend that's an EMT. They revived an OD one night and the guy immediately wanted a fix when he regained consciousness. As I said, this is just my interpretation, everyone hears what they want.
This makes total sense as I’ve thought the chorus has such an Alice In Chains sound to it… tie in with Layne/heroin. It’s like psychedelic grunge metal.
It’s a pleasure to hear something that sounds like it belongs in the eighties. Great melodic band could imagine them doing a concert with Bon jovi ,skid row, guns and roses that kind of sound . There right up there with these bands and would have fitted right into that melodic type of rock.
Love your analysis of this band. I am not a satanist by any means so I have some similar reactions to their music as you do. I love how they've never taken themselves too seriously. I think it's a means of interpreting spiritual warfare and I think this band is a means of tapping into complex concepts that no band has ever tried to tap into before. It's fun and it makes first time listeners laugh because there's really nothing else like it.
@Taylor OBrian What are you trying to say? I really do not care about religion in the slightest. If anything, Ghost mocking it makes me like them more.
I really suggest watching more interviews with this band or band front man. I really believe people really need to relax and realize that this is a gimmick. A genius one at that. A genius one that is working. Ghost is also a really great band with great rhythms, melodies, harmonies and groove. It is hard enough to make it in the industry these days and Ghost was smart enough to figure out how to brand themselves marketable. To bad the internet was not available (in the 70's) to catalog all the things said about KISS when they came out. It is all extremely similar.
They recently released a video for Spillways, which is super catchy and melodic. Tobias has a lot of fun poking christianity, especially catholicism, in the eye, which is one reason I love this band.
I finally got to see them live back in January. Best. Show. Ever!!!! Love Papa and the Ghouls! As for other tracks to check out, I recommend the following. Year Zero Mummy Dust Cirice Kiss the Go-Goat From the Pinnacle to the Pit Faith Rats Monstrance Clock He Is
Favourite Ghost song for me is "Respite on the Spitalfields" (last song on the new Impera album). It's about the terror caused by serial killer Jack The Ripper in East London. It's fantastic! The production on this album is ridiculous. Every instrument is crystal clear. The song ends with the same guitar loop as in the opening track "Imperium", completing the circle. Perfect!
I know Tobias has said this is about Jack The Ripper, but for me that song is really describing the fall of an empire. Empires usually fall apart from the inside and go out with a whimper rather than a bang. "Nothing ever lasts forever, we will go softly into the night". And then at the end you hear the melody from the opening track, so it feels like this empire has fallen and another one is about to start. Killer song, Ghost are just awesome.
When I first hear a song that I really really like I get goosebumps on my arms like crazy. Just curious if you also get physical reactions to good music?
You would like, "He Is" from Ghost. It's exactly like a church song but with this same type of twist. Tobias has a Jim Jones thing going on in the video.
Your reaction was mine exactly when I first listened to Ghost Especially their earlier tracks from their first album, I just was chuckling or laughing cause of the absurdity. I wouldn't say I'm a Christian, as I don't go to church, and I haven't really read the bible(which I should.) But I do believe in God and all that is associated with that. And I just see this as a silly Band, trying to rile people up like back in the 70's and 80's. Especially if you see their character designs, and lore and music videos. Just edgy as all Hell. And I think that's all it is. Just a show. But to people who don't know, especially if they are pretty religious. I bet it would freak them right out. My Grandmother loves this band. My Mom is a bit iffy, my middle brother says it's alright, and my littlest brother likes a couple songs. I do think it is all a show, so don't take it to heart. Most certainly if you are religious like my family. Just don't take it to heart and know where you stand.
“Bible” is a cover they did from another 90’s punk band, but its honestly one of the best songs and it sounds like it was their song from the beginning
Love that line you can call me even when you are dead and gone 😂 love ghost I'd recommend a song but this video is a year old you probably no all there stuff now great reactions 😀
For people that think they are promoting Satan, it's more of a ruse. They are really calling out organized religion in general. Just a few swapped words and this song could be played in church. But beside all the "Scooby Doom" lyrics and image, they write smart, catchy and memorable songs with amazing consistency. Their live shows are amazing.
"Ghost'' is promoting Satan. That's their whole thing or "Schtick". The anti-pope taking over as the voice of Satan on Earth as the pope is the voice of God on Earth. Tobias said they're one of the few bands that don't write songs about Satan. They write songs for Satan. Now when you get down to the band members that's different. None are Satan worshipers however Tobias is a Satanist and so is Per Erikkson. The others all have their own views on religion.
Good thing he wasn't in the middle of drinking his Coca-Cola when Ghost sings even when you're dead and gone you can always reach me all you gotta do is call meeeeeeeLITTLE SUNSHINE 🌞
I am a new fan and call me little Sunshine is the first cut I ever heard then it was Mary on a cross, I love the 80s early 90s feel that they have brought back.
Cirice, Stand by Him, Zombie Queen, Hunters Moon, Year Zero, Rats, Square Hammer, Twenties, Darkness at the Heart of my Love, Respite on the Spitalfields, Body and Blood, Dance Macabre and Life Eternal are all good
Ghost is my favorite band and I wasn’t even a metalhead. Since you already heard square hammer, call me little sunshine, dance macabre, & spillways I’d say listen to Rats, Pro memoria, Kiss the go-goat, mary on a cross, elizabeth, see the light, mummy dust, cirice, hunters moon, from the pinnacle to the pit, year zero, he is, enter sandman (cover), nocturnal me (cover), missionary man (cover)
Full Lyrics for Ghost- Call me Little Sunshine for the people who havent seen the lyrics Call out in the middle of the night For when else would I hear you? Fall out in the cold starlight I can save you if you do You will never walk alone You can always reach me You will never ever walk alone Call me Little Sunshine Call me, call me Mephistopheles Call me when you feel all alone Just call me Little Sunshine Light up in the middle of the day For how else could you see me? Ease up to the hunter from the prey And transform indefinitely You will never walk alone You can always reach me You will never ever walk alone Call me Little Sunshine Call me, call me Mephistopheles Call me when you feel all alone Just call me Little Sunshine You will never walk alone You can always reach me You will never ever walk alone You will never walk alone You can always reach me You will never ever walk alone You will never walk alone You can always reach me You will never ever walk alone Even when you're dead and gone You can always reach me All you gotta do is call me, call me Call me Little Sunshine Call me, call me Mephistopheles Call me when you feel all alone Just call me Little Sunshine Call me Little Sunshine Call me, call me Mephistopheles Call me when you feel all alone Just call me Little Sunshine
Ghost has always been confusing to me because their look and sound are so out of sync. I first heard this song on Jimmy Kimmel live one night and I absolutely love this track. I don't think they have anything else that sounds similar but I dig this one.
Because I am absolutely free to do what I want with my imagination, i made this (if u judge me, i don't give a fk!)[i love to transform this song in a enternal war] Alfa & Omega - My beloved ray of sunshine Call out in the middle of night For when else would i hear you? (I never ever invoke you) (I'm always here, to hunt you) Fall out in the cold starlight (I'm here on the thick fog of the night) (Sharpening my Claymore,ready to chase you) (My little sunshine...) (My loved one) (Soon you will set) I can save you if you do (You are so weak, no one will follow you) (I'm so ready to slay you) You will never walk alone You can always reach me You will never ever walk alone (I walk in the dense fog of the night) (Always serching for you) Call me...little sunshine Call me...call me Mephispheles (My beloved ray of sunshine) (Soon you'll be set) (For the glorious end) (Don't be afraid) (Don't be afraid) When you feel all alone Just call me Little sunshine (No one will call you) (Pathetic creature of MINE) (Soon i will end you) Light up in the middle of the day For how else could you see me? (U little creature be afraid to face me) (U will soon start to melt down) (My beloved ray of sunshine) (I will give u the sweetest kiss of death) (Ohh my little,little sunshine) Ease up to a hunter from a pray (I look at you like a predator looks his prey) (I promise you, no one will worship you again) Transform idefinitely (Yes! I am your eternal pain) You will never walk alone You can always reach me Call me...little sunshine Call me...call me Mephistopheles (Don't be so shy to taste my blade), (In the end,i promise i free you) When you feel all alone Just call me Little Sunshine You will never walk alone You can always reach me (Don't be so shy to taste my blade), (In the end,i promise i free you) You will never ever Walk alone You can always reach me You will never walk alone You will never ever Walk alone (Don't be so shy to taste my blade), (In the end,i promise i free you) Even when you're dead and gone You can always reach me (Now my sweetest sunshine) (it's time to taste my flaming sword) (Just close your eyes) (I promise u no pain,u will be dead and gone) All you got to do is call me Call me...little sunshine Call me...call me Mephistopheles When you feel all alone Just call me.. Little Sunshine (Now,i look at your ashes, laughing) (Blown by the wind after My Earth) (I raise my wings) (Spreading the light) (Im the justice) (Ohh,sweetest child of mine) (Your hells is just a history) (When u feel alone and gone) (Always u can pray Me!)
Call me little sunshine is an interesting and biblically correct pseudonym. Satan was called the Son of the Morning. Morning Star. Before his fall, he was a beautiful and celebrated Angel.
Ghost songs? "Cirice", "Rats", "Dance Macabre", "He Is"....... all catchy! but then what did you expect? Doom and gloom? Hellfire and Brimstone?.... They leave that to the priests!
That's why I love Ghost - they make worship music, but for the devil, but it's not sincere as it's to mock organized religion. They love the iconography and pageantry of religion, but their message is how harmful that can be by showing what happens when you subvert it. They sing for demons with the voice of angels, and the music is masterfully composed as well. They may not do banshee shrieks, death growls, blast beats or a lot of headbanging, but they're metal af in spirit.
If your still looking at this thread. Year zero, monstrance clock, and cirice are all amazing tunes by ghost.... A little older I know, but Ive been a fan of them a long time. Kudos
Nice reaction!..Definitely think there's more to this song than what people see and it's in the lyrics too. The video shows the uphill grind of life, when tragedy strikes ( devil biting the carriage connection) she resorts to a substance ( opium it looks like) to deal with the trauma ( light up in the middle of the day). I personally think it's about a substance addiction leading your life to hell...with an addiction you never walk alone..you'll rely on it to be with you. Ghost tie in Mephisto a demon who collects souls who past over from corrupted life paths. I only like 2 or 3 songs of theirs before this..but this is a masterpiece!!❤️
I haven't seen it yet in any comments, but "Little Sunshine" is probably a metaphor for "Lucifer" aka "the morning star" or "the light bringer"...which would be pretty clever and not unexpected for the quality fo work Tobias puts out in his writing.
Apart from absolutely STUNNING music, there is only one, ONE thing you can "expect" from Ghost - and that is the UN-EXPECTED! 80's style rock, out & out Disco Rock, Techno-Rock, they do it all. Here, however..? Tobias & Co. threw down the gauntlet, as it were, and TOTALLY went off the rails ('scuse the pun)! I have seen "Steam-Punk Rock," Satanic (classic & otherwise) Rock, but NEVER Satanic Steam Punk Metal! You couldn't be more correct - This, like everything they do, came out of nowhere. Nice work!
Your realization made me realize it is probably very much about drugs ☺️ Light up in the middle of the day. Even the devil is all twisted out of reality
the live version of this song has something that is marvelous : the backing vocals
Agree, Jimmy Kimmel live is soo superb
Live version is AMAZING!!
Not a big fan of the live backing vocals but great performance nonetheless
Yesss... The backing vocals ❤
I like the live more
This is my first time hearing this band. Digging this track. Going to dig deeper now!
Try Kaisarion!
I recommend Ritual from their first album, Cirice and Absolution from the third and Rats and Faith from their fourth!
Th band's lyrics usually take jabs at churches and cults manipulating people with a dash of philosophy and self irony to make it spicier
@@Lazarus_Cardinalis Heard Ritual in 2016... the whole album is a gem
Be careful.......
I'm about 2 weeks into this band (random YT search of the word "ghost" for paranormal vids) and holy hell are they fracking awesome. Every album, every song available I've devoured endlessly and will continue to do so even after Lacrimus drops their new album here shortly. Very happy I've discovered this band.
I feel the same, bro!
Yes, my niece and her husband (both musicians) turned me onto them. They are fab, I am listening to their back catalogue!
I'm about 3 months in and absolutely 💯 LOVE this band. Got tix to see em Aug 12! Can't wait!!

Oh and you should check out some live videos. They are incredible performers.
From the Pinnacle to the Pit and Rats are so great. Dance Macabre, Witch Image and Life Eternal are also among my favourites.
Actually the song calls to Aleister Crowley
@@GregMeije Oh yeah, "Little Sunshine" is totally a reference to Aleister Crowley and his trial.
Respite on the spital fields is also amazing
BY FAR THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN!
I think you would seriously dig the videos for "Cirice", "He Is", and "Dance Macabre". All total bangers with wild videos!
The live version of He Is from the Swedish Grammis and the live version of Cirice from their performance on The Colbert Show were the first two songs I heard after stumbling on their Enter Sandman cover.
They're amazing.
Ghost has a very interesting catalog. As a Ghost fan I would suggest the following:
1) Cirice- they won a Grammy for this one in 2016 for Best Hard Rock/ Metal Performance. Similar vibe to Call Me Little Sunshine
2) Rats- Banger of a track with a pretty cool video.
3) Kaisarion - off the newest album. Lyrics based off actual events.
4) Dance Macabre - 80’s pop-metal vibe
5) From the Pinnacle to the Pit- song about the fall of Satan
6) Ritual - song sounds innocent, but the lyrics make it really dark and evil
7) Year Zero - basically hailing the rise of Satan
8) He Is - another interesting twist. Talking about Satan the same way people talk about God/Jesus
Dance Macabre is my fav. Just solid, driving, beat, that just carries you with it.
I think that list is just about perfect, all it needs is "Square Hammer" and "Mummy Dust"
@@thefuzzman Per aspera ad inferi
I would add Spillways, Mary on a cross (live from Tampa) and also Kiss the Go-Goat
I love ghost cause they don't take themselves as serious people think they do from how they look. their latest album Impera is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend twenties for their heaviest track, then spillways, Griftwood and Kaiserion for more 80's tunes.
They became my favorite band a few years ago. True musicians playing some of the best music today.
Best band of this decade, simple 🔥
Definitely. Maybe last decade as well.

This is probably very true. They are so freaking good! I simply don’t understand the hate they get. They are the best!

I havent been this happy to find a band in...decades.
The first time I heard this I dismissed the lyrics as just another song about 'Satan' based on the past material. After watching the video "I" interpret this differently now.
I hear a song about drug addiction. Sunshine or Yellow Sunshine is LSD. Mephistopheles is confused by most as a metaphor for Satan however Mephistopheles was a demon, that 'demon' drug reference is self explanatory.
"call out in the middle of the night", craving
"light up in the middle of the day", in the video the pipe is representative of smoking heroin
"Ease up to the hunter from the prey", seeking the fix and becoming its victim
"And transform indefinitely", death
"Even when you're dead and gone, You can always reach me", I have a friend that's an EMT. They revived an OD one night and the guy immediately wanted a fix when he regained consciousness.

@Taylor OBrian What are you trying to say? I really do not care about religion in the slightest. If anything, Ghost mocking it makes me like them more.
Love your reactions to Ghost. They’re catchy as hell (so to speak) , and they crack me up, too.
I'd recommend Kaisarion, Ritual, Griftwood, or Year Zero by them. But honestly, so many of their songs are catchy as hell.
This is one of those songs you can’t stop playing over and over and never get tired of it.
I am almost 58 years old and I just love everything about this band
After watching Mary I fell into these guys hard. Brings me back some old 80’s metal. The make up reminds me of King Diamond.
I really suggest watching more interviews with this band or band front man. I really believe people really need to relax and realize that this is a gimmick. A genius one at that. A genius one that is working. Ghost is also a really great band with great rhythms, melodies, harmonies and groove. It is hard enough to make it in the industry these days and Ghost was smart enough to figure out how to brand themselves marketable. To bad the internet was not available (in the 70's) to catalog all the things said about KISS when they came out. It is all extremely similar.
You really need to get some adult stuff
Finally Ghost!!!! You also did their song Faith.
They recently released a video for Spillways, which is super catchy and melodic. Tobias has a lot of fun poking christianity, especially catholicism, in the eye, which is one reason I love this band.
Hilarious is EXACTLY what Ghost is going for.
I finally got to see them live back in January. Best. Show. Ever!!!! Love Papa and the Ghouls!
As for other tracks to check out, I recommend the following.
Year Zero

Rock on, Laura. My brother turned me on to this band recently. I have got to see them live someday. Much love from Florida Laura. 🌞☀️🌞☀️🌞☀️🌞☀️🌞
You really REALLY ought to try reacting to more of their stuff, particularly live performances if you can find them.

You are the mirror of my first time listening to this song!
Hunter's Moon has been my personal favorite song lately. You should listen to it.
"Spillways" and "Griftwood", live from their new album release party, you will love it
Unfortunately, they haven’t done Griftwood live yet.
Oh man, you would LOVE the song and video for He Is lol
Its a kickass tune still circulating.
you should do Cirice. its a band favorite. Tobias has an interesting story about the song
😍🙌
They are kind of the Coldpay of metal with the way the harmonize. They are brilliant in concert.
Coldplay??? Not even in the same category.
I love this guy's laugh, it's so genuine!
When I first hear a song that I really really like I get goosebumps on my arms like crazy. Just curious if you also get physical reactions to good music?
Love your reaction when you realized what the sing was about! 😂 Love your laugh!
I loved your reaction, and you were fast to track Tobias joke on that "even when you dead and gone" xD
Btw, this whole record is really good.
You would like, "He Is" from Ghost. It's exactly like a church song but with this same type of twist.

I wouldn't say I'm a Christian, as I don't go to church, and I haven't really read the bible(which I should.) But I do believe in God and all that is associated with that. And I just see this as a silly Band, trying to rile people up like back in the 70's and 80's. Especially if you see their character designs, and lore and music videos. Just edgy as all Hell. And I think that's all it is. Just a show. But to people who don't know, especially if they are pretty religious. I bet it would freak them right out. My Grandmother loves this band. My Mom is a bit iffy, my middle brother says it's alright, and my littlest brother likes a couple songs. I do think it is all a show, so don't take it to heart. Most certainly if you are religious like my family. Just don't take it to heart and know where you stand.
Watcher in the sky is insane by ghost especially when the solo kicks in!!
“Bible” is a cover they did from another 90’s punk band, but its honestly one of the best songs and it sounds like it was their song from the beginning
It features the great Freddie akkesson from opeth on guitar.
I'm sure these songs have already been suggested, but please check out Cirice, and Year Zero. Awesome tracks.
Love that line you can call me even when you are dead and gone 😂 love ghost I'd recommend a song but this video is a year old you probably no all there stuff now great reactions 😀
Year Zero is a must from them. Great reaction as always.
Spillways, Rats and Cirice
For people that think they are promoting Satan, it's more of a ruse. They are really calling out organized religion in general. Just a few swapped words and this song could be played in church. But beside all the "Scooby Doom" lyrics and image, they write smart, catchy and memorable songs with amazing consistency. Their live shows are amazing.
"Ghost'' is promoting Satan. That's their whole thing or "Schtick". The anti-pope taking over as the voice of Satan on Earth as the pope is the voice of God on Earth. Tobias said they're one of the few bands that don't write songs about Satan. They write songs for Satan. Now when you get down to the band members that's different. None are Satan worshipers however Tobias is a Satanist and so is Per Erikkson. The others all have their own views on religion.
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr What you are saying is just not true. Tobias himself as rejected this exact line of thought.
@@ianwakers Your just mad because someone knows more about Ghost than you! Your wrong!
The both of you are SO wrong. I've proved this over and over. Tobias has been a Satanist since high school. Your ignorance is astounding!
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr
No, they’re mad because Tobias never claimed to be a satanist, yet your comment says otherwise.
Good thing he wasn't in the middle of drinking his Coca-Cola when Ghost sings even when you're dead and gone you can always reach me all you gotta do is call meeeeeeeLITTLE SUNSHINE 🌞
Ghost has been sucking me in just due to their songwriting. I know they are Satanic but I can't stop listening to them. Dance Macabre is insane!
I am a new fan and call me little Sunshine is the first cut I ever heard then it was Mary on a cross, I love the 80s early 90s feel that they have brought back.
Cirice, Stand by Him, Zombie Queen, Hunters Moon, Year Zero, Rats, Square Hammer, Twenties, Darkness at the Heart of my Love, Respite on the Spitalfields, Body and Blood, Dance Macabre and Life Eternal are all good
You have an awesome voice, dude. You should get a job in radio.
Cirice is amazing and so is Hunter's Moon. I enjoyed your reaction and would like to see you try another Ghost song.
React to Ritual and Monstrance Clock those two are bangers for sure!!!
Ghost is my favorite band and I wasn’t even a metalhead. Since you already heard square hammer, call me little sunshine, dance macabre, & spillways I’d say listen to Rats, Pro memoria, Kiss the go-goat, mary on a cross, elizabeth, see the light, mummy dust, cirice, hunters moon, from the pinnacle to the pit, year zero, he is, enter sandman (cover), nocturnal me (cover), missionary man (cover)
T, long time sub here, you have to do an entire ghost marathon. You could easily knock out 10 videos while having fun. Cheers.
Ever since i found them in my youtube rcommended i have loved them, this album, Impera, is my first ever vinyl that i have bought
I recommend Spillways and Life Eternal. They're very different songs, but they're still pure Ghost
The song 'Spillways' from the same album is also an absolute banger.
Full Lyrics for Ghost- Call me Little Sunshine for the people who havent seen the lyrics
Call out in the middle of the night
For when else would I hear you?
Fall out in the cold starlight
I can save you if you do
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
Light up in the middle of the day
For how else could you see me?
Ease up to the hunter from the prey
And transform indefinitely
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
Even when you're dead and gone
You can always reach me
All you gotta do is call me, call me
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
Call me Little Sunshine
Call me, call me Mephistopheles
Call me when you feel all alone
Just call me Little Sunshine
Mark Bryant turned me onto these guys. Mark has it all. Markus rockarailious. Thank you..
Ghost is like if Slayer had a baby with Abba
Dance Macabre was the one that got me into Ghost
Ghost has always been confusing to me because their look and sound are so out of sync. I first heard this song on Jimmy Kimmel live one night and I absolutely love this track. I don't think they have anything else that sounds similar but I dig this one.
Ghost album Imperia won American music award for best rockalbum 2022.
It's a reference to something said by Aleister Crowley in court, IIRC. He referred to himself as 'little sunshine'
Because I am absolutely free to do what I want with my imagination, i made this (if u judge me, i don't give a fk!)[i love to transform this song in a enternal war]
Alfa & Omega - My beloved ray of sunshine
Call out in the middle of night
For when else would i hear you?
(I never ever invoke you)
(I'm always here, to hunt you)
Fall out in the cold starlight
(I'm here on the thick fog of the night)
(Sharpening my Claymore,ready to chase you)
(My little sunshine...)
(My loved one)
(Soon you will set)
I can save you if you do
(You are so weak, no one will follow you)
(I'm so ready to slay you)
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never ever walk alone
(I walk in the dense fog of the night)
(Always serching for you)
Call me...little sunshine
Call me...call me
Mephispheles
(My beloved ray of sunshine)
(Soon you'll be set)
(For the glorious end)
(Don't be afraid)
(Don't be afraid)
When you feel all alone
Just call me
Little sunshine
(No one will call you)
(Pathetic creature of MINE)
(Soon i will end you)
Light up in the
middle of the day
For how else could you
see me?
(U little creature be afraid to face me)
(U will soon start to melt down)
(My beloved ray of sunshine)
(I will give u the sweetest kiss of death)
(Ohh my little,little sunshine)
Ease up to a hunter
from a pray
(I look at you like a predator looks his prey)
(I promise you, no one will worship you again)
Transform idefinitely
(Yes! I am your eternal pain)
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
Call me...little sunshine
Call me...call me
Mephistopheles
(Don't be so shy to taste my blade),
(In the end,i promise i free you)
When you feel all alone
Just call me
Little Sunshine
You will never walk alone
You can always reach me
(Don't be so shy to taste my blade),
(In the end,i promise i free you)
You will never ever
Walk alone
You can always reach me
You will never walk alone
You will never ever
Walk alone
(Don't be so shy to taste my blade),
(In the end,i promise i free you)
Even when you're dead and gone
You can always reach me
(Now my sweetest sunshine)
(it's time to taste my flaming sword)
(Just close your eyes)
(I promise u no pain,u will be dead and gone)
All you got to do is call me
Call me...little sunshine
Call me...call me
Mephistopheles
When you feel all alone
Just call me..
Little Sunshine
(Now,i look at your ashes, laughing)
(Blown by the wind after My Earth)
(I raise my wings)
(Spreading the light)
(Im the justice)
(Ohh,sweetest child of mine)
(Your hells is just a history)
(When u feel alone and gone)
(Always u can pray Me!)
Love how you get all freaked out. What is so funny? All uncomfortable! lol
Dude. This is the 3rd rock anthem they have made!
Cirice is very good, definitely heavier. It will give you an idea of their evolution musically.
If you want the real Ghost experience, hear them live. Mary on a cross is a great song by them.
I thought they meant the devil is referred to THE MORNING STAR (little sunshine) who knows?
This song cost me 200$ into speakers replacement 😕👻
Call me little sunshine is an interesting and biblically correct pseudonym. Satan was called the Son of the Morning. Morning Star. Before his fall, he was a beautiful and celebrated Angel.
I remember the first time I heard this song I was like wow I gotta listen to more ghost
One of my favorites aside from Alice in chains...great bands
One of my favorites is Hunters Moon and Dance Macabre I saw them in concert and they are amazing
Ghost songs? "Cirice", "Rats", "Dance Macabre", "He Is"....... all catchy! but then what did you expect? Doom and gloom? Hellfire and Brimstone?.... They leave that to the priests!
You have to do "YEAR ZERO"!!! BUAH HA HA HA HA!!!
That's why I love Ghost - they make worship music, but for the devil, but it's not sincere as it's to mock organized religion. They love the iconography and pageantry of religion, but their message is how harmful that can be by showing what happens when you subvert it. They sing for demons with the voice of angels, and the music is masterfully composed as well. They may not do banshee shrieks, death growls, blast beats or a lot of headbanging, but they're metal af in spirit.
If your still looking at this thread. Year zero, monstrance clock, and cirice are all amazing tunes by ghost.... A little older I know, but Ive been a fan of them a long time. Kudos
best react ever from this one
Nice reaction!..Definitely think there's more to this song than what people see and it's in the lyrics too. The video shows the uphill grind of life, when tragedy strikes ( devil biting the carriage connection) she resorts to a substance ( opium it looks like) to deal with the trauma ( light up in the middle of the day). I personally think it's about a substance addiction leading your life to hell...with an addiction you never walk alone..you'll rely on it to be with you. Ghost tie in Mephisto a demon who collects souls who past over from corrupted life paths. I only like 2 or 3 songs of theirs before this..but this is a masterpiece!!❤️
Fuck! Now I gotta watch the video again. I never paid attention to that, omg!
A master class in song writing
I haven't seen it yet in any comments, but "Little Sunshine" is probably a metaphor for "Lucifer" aka "the morning star" or "the light bringer"...which would be pretty clever and not unexpected for the quality fo work Tobias puts out in his writing.
i recomment you listening to year zero or mummy dust, i think you'll like those songs a lot
Apart from absolutely STUNNING music, there is only one, ONE thing you can "expect" from Ghost - and that is the UN-EXPECTED! 80's style rock, out & out Disco Rock, Techno-Rock, they do it all.
Here, however..? Tobias & Co. threw down the gauntlet, as it were, and TOTALLY went off the rails ('scuse the pun)!
I have seen "Steam-Punk Rock," Satanic (classic & otherwise) Rock, but NEVER Satanic Steam Punk Metal!
You couldn't be more correct - This, like everything they do, came out of nowhere. Nice work!
If you want a Ghost bible hymn, check out "He Is" 😂
This I why I subscribed!
Little Sunshine is also a play on lucifers name meaning, lucifer Morningstar, light bringer.
This song is always on my rotation. Something about it and the dark groove hooked me…Satan? Maybe…😉
Pendulum To The Pit, Meliora, Rats....they have great songs. Check out the live video of them doing If You Have Ghosts....
Your realization made me realize it is probably very much about drugs ☺️ Light up in the middle of the day. Even the devil is all twisted out of reality
Their cover of the Beatles "here comes the sun" is a fun listen.
