How much fantasy and magic can you put into the song?
Tobi: yes!
Avantasia = Beautiful Metal
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo bro
Apoyo eso!!!
Harás alguna vez un video sobre alguno de susu álbumes?
Coño, Miguel de Lys
Encantado de verte por estos lares, Miguel. No sabía que compartiamos aficiones.
Tobi once again proves a master of melody. You immediately want to sing that chorus even though you don't know the words yet.
that´s the thing!!! i show those avantasia songs for my wife, wich is not into metal and shw says: wow! this guy know about chorus!
@@tonigeraci
That’s probably because I wouldn’t classify their modern stuff as metal. Especially the singles like this and mystery of a blood red rose. Sure, they have metal songs. But this isn’t one of them
@@RobertSmith-ow5kf and how would you classify them?
For me it’s metal. Not such judas priest, for instance, but metal nonethess. Metal is such a huge style that is hard to say that songs like those arent.
@@tonigeraci
I would say their modern stuff is more hard symphonic rock. Many of their songs have elements from bands like queen, journey, bon jovi, and meatloaf. However, they do have songs that I would classifiy as power metal and the metal operas were 100 percent metal.
@@RobertSmith-ow5kf Well, I would say it's not symphonic, since it has a verse-chorus structure and lyrics - it's operatic. It also contains metal-specific elements to the instrumentation... and most importantly, Sammet would seem to describe his genre as metal, which makes it metal. I could just as easily decide that the newer extreme sections of metal have deviated too far from Sabbath, Candlemass, Dio, etc, to be considered metal, and who would be right?
"The Moonflower Society"
(feat. Bob Catley)
Twilight falls, ghostly the hands
That reach out for you
Through the mist of these alien lands
Swallowed away on the road to forever
Like a storm the wraith of advance
Forced its will upon you
Sacred yesterdays, lucid and vast
For a blink of an eye it’s all coming together
Like a relic of a long bygone time
Moonflowers grow from the back of your mind
Hold on - yeah
Fire in the night
I see ghosts, spectres light around me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Fire in the night
One by one - pictures gather round me
Where those moonflowers used to grow
Lost no more - spectres gather round here
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Night by night - stare into the black
Where moonflowers used to grow
As I walk through the mist
Down the ruins of things that used to be
Silent remnants of magical times
A cabinet of curiosities
Old companions and past Christmas ghosts
Juvenile levity
Sacred gatherings, pictures of days
Swallowed away on the road to forever
A covert society buried in time
Once bent on survival
Now kicked out of line
Oh I hold on...
A fire in the night
I see ghosts - spectres light around me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Fire in the night
One by one - pictures gather round me
Where those moonflowers used to grow
Lost no more - spectres gather round here
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Night by night - stare into the black
Where moonflowers used to grow
And quite suddenly
Just as if somebody slammed the door
Halcyon days buried in halcyon lore
As silence prevails
Fragments come passing me by
Slipping right through
A crevice in time, oh
Fire in the night
I see ghosts - spectres light around me
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Fire in the night
One by one - pictures gather round me
Where those moonflowers used to grow
Lost no more - spectres gather round here
Vivid and stark, a blaze in the dark
Night by night - stare into the black
Where moonflowers used to grow
Thank you.
Thanks bro , I appreciate you 🙏🏻

The song is beautiful but the artistic direction made me fall in love. I loved the atmosphere, the colors, everything. Thanks for this Tobi, I needed it. I can't wait to listen to the full album.
Toby, you're the best
The animation is stellar. Just beautiful! It fits the song so well too ^_^
I camt get over the ring masters vibe. Dudes so excited
Gives me Tim Burton vibes.
@@john03ification Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.
funnily enough my favorite part of this song is that instrumental part starting around 3:10. It's so wonderful and so fitting with the video. A sense of wonder, mystery and excitement all at once in a couple of chords. It's like watching a top tier movie. 10/10
In my opinion, Tobias' voice sounds off. Almost like the vocal phrasing doesn't match with the cadence.
TBH the instrumental part remind me Metal The Sims loading :D I love it
tobi needs to do more instrumentals
I'm hearing this song for the first time and I paid particular attention to that part and yes, it is indeed wonderful! I love it!
Hey! Remember me?
It's hard to explain but Bob Catley's voice is so emotional to me. It paints pictures, takes me places. Terrific song by Tobi.
Bob's voice is the reason I keep coming back to Avantasia. I mean, all their songs are great but Bob's ones are just magical. Tobi's melodies and Bobs voice is just perfection.
Still a golden voice, 30+ years since I saw Magnum. 🔥🤘
Bob Catley's voice works amazingly well with Tobias's.
@@ChrisPage68 the older he gets, better his voice becomes.
@@blackcitadel37 Oh yes!!!
Tobi if you can read this: I LOVE YOU, THNX FOR YOUR AWESOME MUSIC
I've listened to this song a few times, now. I get an 80's - 90's vibe/feeling from the song itself, and the animation reminds me of certain kids cartoons and claymation shows of the 90's, with a bit of Tim Burton thrown in
Yeah i also had to look in the credits if Tim Burton wasn't the artist. His Artstyle seems to be a strong influence
Tim Burton vibes i was getting also
Yes, Tim Burton´s influence can be seen in this animation, definitely. But it´s a nice film by itself.
I feel like a dash of Neil Gaiman too
You could sneak this song onto the soundtrack of Transformers: The Movie, and no one would notice.
This honestly one of my favourite music videos of all time.
2:45 to 3:35
for moments like these is why I will always love power metal
You and me both. The way it builds and builds before fully kicking in is sublime.
Avantasia's songs have always left a strong, distinct impression on me. I don't think there's a band around that captures such dark whimsical fantasy, bringing you to a realm of spirits and dreams, of fey creatures and moonlit nights. Wonderful. Pure poetry. The video enhances that so very much. What an excellent pairing!
According to Freedom Call, Metal Is For Everyone. This song - no, this entire ALBUM - shows us that the Opera/Musical Theater people are no exception. Man, this is amazing! Great work!
Stronger than the law, ey?
Tobi’s voice sounds for lack of better word stronger and younger and Bob is aging like a fine wine. This song is stellar.
Heh, the wrinklier the raisins are, the tastier they are)))
Sammet writing songs for him and Catley means epicness! I LOVE THIS!!!
I love it. Tobi is just a music genius. His Avantasia is 18 years with me.
Another masterpiece. Congrats, Tobi!
And Bob Catley....he's a living legend.
This is genuinely one of the best songs I have ever heard. That chorus is phenomenal!
90% of Avantasia songs have epic and catchy choruses. It's one of Tobias' specialities.
It's like something from a dream... The kind of dream you remember, and have flashbacks to throughout your life.
It's magical.
This song raised my spirit. Tobias is a total mastermind and this is a heck of a piece. I absolutely love all of it; the vocals, the lyrics, the instrumental and the video. Since this popped up on my Spotify, I give it a listen at least five times a day :3
This is such a beautiful song it's somehow epic and also someone sad especially when it's linked with the video. Also the video is beautifully animated but if I'm reading it correctly it's sweet that death gave him one amazing show as he passed on
God damn Avantasia you guys have done it again... each time I listen to the song I enjoy it more and more... Between Tobi and Bob Catley it just simply works
Tobias es un grande, de verdad. Los he visto por primera vez en Cartagena y quedé prendada desde la primera nota. Increíble directo, letras impresionantes y unas melodías que directamente te devuelven a la vida. Estoy deseando volver a verlos en directo, de las mejores experiencias de mi vida. Impresionante, gracias Avantasia por todo lo que nos hacéis sentir!
This is the best song about someone's clairvoyance awakening. And, sure, it's Avantasia's. Awesome!!!
Video was released on a full moon, I love this
Sounds beautiful and very different with the original Avantasia touch!!! Congratulations to the mastermind Tobias Sammet. Such a nice song, can't wait to the new album come out
Nice surprise, Catley usually contributes on some epic singalong compositions, and I bet it's no exception this time.
in love with this design
Bob's voice is beyond compare. Someone turn him into a vampire please I want him to live forever.
It's wonderful to hear again the classic and powerful sound of Avantasia!!!
TOBI SAMMET what a Master of Epic Music! 😎
Very cool song! Has some Broadway meets metal vibe like mistery pf the blood red rose. Also very nice video, thought it was very Tim Burton´s style, but also felt familiar and thgought about Jess Cope who made several videos of Steven Wilson. Went to look for the director and BINGO! It was her!! The style made remember of Drive Home and Routine videos. She is great. Loved the colab!
Love how whimsical and playful this is for being so spooky and mysterious in aesthetic. Absolutely delightful and enchanting. Makes you want to just join in!
Now there needs to be an avantasia cartoon on a streaming service.
Bob and Tobi's voice combination belongs to the sublime 😍
I love the fact that the guitar riff is straight from the orchestral piece at the end of The Great Mystery. So fitting for Mr. Catley
You sure? I dont hear the similarities

@@frenchbaguetteoui
Okay yeah i can hear it now. I pulled up the wrong part of the song lol
First time I saw video I instantly remembered Edgar Allan Poe literature! Interesting approach to be honest. I love it!
totally in love with everything new that Tobi has come up with
Bob Catley em alto nível como sempre! Tobi sabe construir histórias incríveis que emocionam..
Pena só sair em outubro, tá maluco, vou morrer esperando kkkk.
@@kgn512 somos dois kkk, já não aguento mais
Somos três kkk
@@claudiamella6037 ainda bem que não vi essas single, se não eu ja estava doido... eu so vi a música com a Floor assim que lançou.
difícil eu não gostar de uma canção que o Bob esteja envolvido, são todas muito muito boas de se ouvir ^^
1 million views let's go
Fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this. The music was superb and imagery sublime. Well worth the wait. Just when you think Avantasia can't get better, Tobais lifts it up another notch. Thank you Tobi can't wait for the Album release :) x
Dat 80s Magnum Vibes… I love it!!! Thanks for your Music!
WHAT A MASTERPIECE THIS SONG AND ITS MUSIC VIDEO ARE!!!!.........EVERYTHING ON THIS VIDEO IS INCREDIBLE AND IT'S BASICALLY THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO I'VE WATCHED SO FAR THIS YEAR!.
What can i say you can't go wrong with the legendary Bob Catly and Tobias Sammet singing my fav Avantasia song for awhile.
Fiquei imaginando o Andre Matos no lugar do Bob Catley cantando com o Tobias.. Gosto de clips animados, ficou muito bom.
So happy to know that a new Avantasia album will be released!! Moonglow was amazing, and Moonglow tour just the best I've been *_* This new song is great and the pictures are sooo poetic and beautiful! Reminds me Tim Burton universe with a bit of Wonderland... (just like Toby's look on the Moonglow tour, by the way)
Thanks Tobias Sammet for your work and your art, thanks to all of the artists who are part of this project!
Тобиас, долгих лет жизни тебе. Ты талантище! Edguy и Avantasia это 🔥 металл мира нашей современности, мелодичность, невероятная! Твоим друзьям, Ханси Кюрху, Jorn Lande, Mikel kiske, Rony Atkins,Amanda, Bob catley, всем большой респект, ну вы супер! В каждом альбоме незабываемые треки. 👍
Согласен.
I absolutely love the art style of Avantasia. I can't quite place where I recognize this particular art style, but it's very reminiscent of my childhood
Might be from the opening from the 1988s aerobic championship!?!
Omg, the video is so beautiful ❤️
Hello dear
Everything about this song is great. Bob's voice is absolutely stunning. Video is beautifully made too. And I heard, that Floor Jansen will sing on this album too. My dreams will come true..
i listened to it over 200 times already and i preorder the album especially when i saw that Floor jansen is on it too
Very nice, GJ folks of Avantasia. I like the Tim Burton vibes you got going on too, it's awesome =)
I was thinking the same thing about the Tim Burton influence.
side note at 3:30 they actually got the boots accurate for a victorian time period with balmoral button boots! nice detail that the animator(s) threw in :)
Another masterpiece i expected no less, so hyped for the new album, The music video is beautiful, dark atmospheric and the instrumental truly captured the essence of the song the magic mystery and excitement. Bob Catley awesome as always, fantastic track.
If anyone had ANY doubts as to whether or not this new Avantasia album was going to be any good; their fear have just been completely washed away! The first single was simply sublime, but this song is even BETTER in my opinion. Tobias has spent nearly 3 years putting this masterpiece together and the time, energry, effort, and EMOTION are all paying off in spades now. Absolutely infectious, catchy, thoroughly enjoyable, and instantly memorable. This is going to be a new Avantasia classic song and an immediate fan favorite if performed live. Bob Catley once again shows his iconic and legendary prowess as a vocalist and just helps to elevate an already amazing song to a completely new level.
Avantasia never disappoints, beautiful song!
Great single and video. Good old Tobi...he can't fail!!!!! Can`t wait new album!!
Fantastic, in the literal sense! Such a "Musical" song that still does Metal. I love how Tobias brings in legends like Bob Catley.
Bob Catley always present, niiice
I keep finding that my favourite album is always Avantasia’s latest. Looks like Moonglow is about to get relegated to second favourite album. Is there any other band as consistently brilliant as Avantasia? Not a bad record at all.
Sounds very medlodic and opera
Avantasia sounds like magic, adventure, beauty and fantasy. Great video, I love it 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤.
Had the pleasure to watch this song live yesterday (,the day of release)!
Tobias & Bob - a perfect team. Can't await to see you at Wacken Wednesday ...
Oh my god another MASTERPIECE from one of the greatest bands of all time! Tobias, you’ve done it again! Can’t stop listening to this - can’t wait for the rest of the album! I’ve been following you since Metal Opera!!! Amazing
Okay, nothing can beat moonglow for me, but DAMN can you get close! This easily became one of my top 5 favorite Avantasia Songs!
When i tell you guys this easily one the best albums of the year i mean avantasia has proven again why they are absolute amazing band Tobby creation surpass with every avantasia album that comes i swear this man out does himself every album!
Bob Catley is pure magic, what a song, so enchanting background, so Avantasia!
Tobias never disappoints
The orchestra build at 2:58 and carry thru is very proud and triumphant I DIG IT
Awesome song and the animation is super cute 🥺
This one will always stay with my life ... I just cant have enough of this tune, voice and riff .... Keep up this Vibe forever guys ;)
Hello dear
Its me or have influence of Tim Burton?.... Love the artwotk and the song, the riff is catchy... 😍🥰
Tim Burton meets Dr. Seuss.
Cant wait to hear the full album. Avantasia makes your dreams come true.
This is going to be great! My favorite band of all time! Avantasia! \M/
Muito triste o Brasil não ter tido um show completo. Queria tanto ter ouvido essa música ao vivo. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hello dear
That chorus has total 80's Pop vides. Like the Bangals or Bananarama.
Oh exciting 😮😁🤞
Epic 🔥👌🤘
Que música incrível! Tobi entregou TUDO e Bob Catley, como sempre, traz uma contribuição absurda! Que música e animação mágicas! Ansiosa para me emocionar com esse álbum novo, assim como aconteceu com todos os outros kkkkkk e quero saber toda a história que esse álbum vai contar
I don't know when I've loved a song as much as the video before.
this song and album are testament to why i fell in love with avantasia, back when you guys released 'dying for an angel'
🤘🤘🕯🕯🤘🤘🕯🤘
keep the flame burning!
keep on keepin on!
This is Lovely My all Time Favorite Songs New Album Can't Wait to Hear That One Tomorrow So Stick Round.
You played such a beautiful show at Midalidare rock in the wine valley! Love you, Tobi and friends! Your amazing music makes me cry of joy!
I see ghosts spectre's all around me, that single line, that melody, takes me back to the 90's theme song for some cartoon I used to watch as a child I can't put into words the feelings it brings!!
I need the rest of the album
Desde The Metal Opera, el talento de este tío como compositor es incontestable. Tiene una habilidad innata para hacerte sentir algo especial con su música... Desde que vi el estreno sabía que estas dos bestias iban a ofrecer algo distinto y mágico a su manera. Menuda noche nos hicieron vivir en el Leyendas hace unos años... MAGIA.
Nunca mejor dicho. La calidad de Tobías cómo compositor es de otro planeta, me animo a decir que hoy en día es de los mejores, si no el mejor. A pesar de la diferencia de estilo, me hace acordar a Steve Harris de Iron Maiden, todo lo que hacen es sublime.
Yo creo que puedes apreciarlo en Teather of salvation o Vain Glory Opera, por citar discos de Edguy previos a la salida del Metal Opera 1. Sin duda lo que ofrece es algo especial.
@@cesaryepesgomez7671 Exactamente!
@@cesaryepesgomez7671 En efecto. Me ceñí a hablar de Avantasia, pero sin duda Theater of Salvation, Vain Glory Opera o Mandrake, son todos ejemplos de esto mismo. Sin ir máss lejos, el tema homónimo de ese álbum, Theater of Salvation, es uno de mis temas favoritos. Eso sí, creo que consiguió elevarlo a la máxima expresión en The Metal Opera, partes 1 y 2. Esos dos álbumes son directamente de otro mundo. Qué maravilla.
@@FlaskFlash Esses álbuns q vc citou são realmente incomparáveis. Estas músicas atuais, incluindo esta aqui são lixos perto das músicas q mas foram feitas por Tobias. RIP Avantasia!
Tobias is such a genius
Journey vibes good song here
Lost Avantasia out of sight about five years ago or so and found this again, its so epic!
this one is pretty catchy
Tobi at his best. A real HESSEBUB. Fantastic Epic Metal Song. 🤘
I admit at first I didn't get it. The song is FANTASTIC, one of the best 80's like tune I heard in a long time! But the video seemed off. But give it a try or two to get the meaning of it and it shines!
This is an absolute masterpiece of an artistic creation! Thank you!
This song is actually really cool! I have never checked Avantasia out much before this, but the song is awesome, great chorus and melody, the video is creative and artistic… it’s just an all around fantastic piece of music!!
This one reminded me of Runaway Train, it's one of Avantasia's best songs in my opinion, if you're looking to hear more.
@@donsmemoryvideos50 ok, that song is actually really good. 👍🏻 (not that I went in doubting) 😉
My favorite is Devil in the Belfrey
Most of The Scarecrow is amazing
Welcome to the Avantasia family. I discovered Avantasia when I was twenty thanks to RUclips fourteen years ago. Avantasia's music has really saved my life.
Que fantástica voz de Bob "Storyteller's Night" Catley...Tobias Sammet lo hiciste otra vez, pura magia!!!!!
On a storyteller's night.. absolutamente!!!!!!!!
Anxiously waiting ❤️
I have been listening to this song almost nonstop!, it's a truly magical masterpiece that Tobias has done, i can't wait to hear the whole album this is just soo perfect,
Everything, as always with Avantasia, could be represented on any album.
I think my greatest writing ambition is to write the story of Avantasia because the characters, themes and the world Tobias has created is second to none.
Amazing! This band is so perfect at every track they release
Awesome, I love Avantasia!!!
hermosa canción , hermoso videos. AVANTASIA siempre es y será un placer de escuchar. Mi banda favorita
Completamente de acuerdo contigo, nunca un grupo me ha hecho sentir lo que siento con avantasia
@@ionanderaltunaiparraguirre1744 Así es. Avantasia es de otro planeta!! Tobi un genio ❤️🔥
