This song isn't even a grower, it's awesome immediately First listen: *First Chorus hits* Me: :) *Second Chorus hits* Me: *VAAAAAALKYYYYRIEEEE, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE!*
[Verse 1] Wait You're holding your breath and not your ground, we're here again With a head full of war, you need it to fill the fight in your hands So scream at the wall, an echo calm spits back to say "I will not falter" Wait Pacify, survive, time's no symmetry You rattle the cage but to be still is not to be weak And you'll never run until you've got the strength to be on unsteady feet [Refrain] Collide Breathe with me Peace is not your enemy Call for the Valkyrie [Chorus] It's not impossible It's just the end of your reach This is not forever Valkyrie The song inside us all This is it You and me We bleed impossible [Post-Chorus] Oh, it's alright Can't you see the wonder in the wait? It's never too late It's alright now Gravity is growth, we're not there yet Can't you see the wonder in the waiting? It's alright [Bridge] Choose the way Unafraid and the wait hasn't even begun Together we choose the way (We choose the way) Collide Choose the way You can fight for the quiet, the old war Together we choose the way (We choose the way) Collide Choose the way The alive will strive to sever Untethered, we choose the way We're not there yet [Verse 2] Clinging to the weight of the world To static, the martyr to pride But you are the war The spite and its author You and I were born unready To stumble, to see Peace was never your enemy Go on and call for the Valkyrie [Chorus] It's not impossible It's just the end of your reach This is not forever Valkyrie The song inside us all This is it You and me We bleed impossible [Post-Chorus] Oh, it's alright Can't you see the wonder in the wait? It's never too late It's alright now Gravity is growth, we're not there yet Can't you see the wonder in the waiting? Oh, it's alright
A good anthem for the Indo-European race at this point in time, we need to be patient and hold out until our time comes again. That time is coming very soon.
IMO one of the very best, second only to BTBAM. Never could get into Haken as much, even though they're always super solid and I love many of their tracks. Think I listened to Dream Theater too much as a kid lol
@@DREADDWELLER Dream Theater Portnoy era is the GOAT for me - BTBAM is following very close thereafter with Opeth, Steven Wilson (marco, guthrie), Porcupine Tree and Haken in tow. I just got into CH and the Tide the Thief... is definetely my favourite album so far. All three of these new singles are contending for their top 10 best songs which makes me beyond hyped for this new album. Give Haken some time to click. The Architect is the song that got me really in to them. The mountain takes some time to digest but opens up to become one of the greatest prog albums ever made and oddly enough the crystallized EP is one of my top picks from them as well.
voxextremos22 Pure reason revolution just released a new album too. Also, gazpacho and airbag should both have stuff coming out this year too. The rest of the world may be shit right now, but the prog music is on point.
Crackbreaker haken is absolutely amazing, but I get they arent for everyone. Airbag is very pink floydish, gazpacho is dark melancholy music. Katatonia is also melancholy but doomy metal style. Pure reason revolution is a lot of great music and has both a female and male singer. All good stuff, all different, all beautiful.
That's very true, and don't @ me if you don't like the singer, this guy is a rockstar I wouldn't see him doing anything else than this. He definitely is talented and has charisma. Absolutely love this band 🤟
I saw in an interview that he doesn't use pitch correcting at all in this album and on In Contact. He has an amazing voice. My favorite vocalist in the whole prog genre for sure. If you haven't, you should check out the video "Jim Grey Isolated Vocals" as it really showcases the subtle harmonies that sometimes get lost in the whole picture.
@@MrAtrandom Wow that's really cool to hear. Many artists use it and it's understandable as the album needs to be good, but hearing that he doesn't use it just gives him more credibility for me. Such a good band of musicians.
This band just keeps blowing me away. This is unreal. Like after the 3 releases I'm heavily anticipating the album now. This song is so good, its stupid.
The best song writing part is that the chorus almost sounds like it's going to be a let down compared to the verse, then that groove just carries it on and the melody brings it to a resolution with the groove and the guitar meets up it up with that glorious lick after it's prechorus lick. It's just fingerlicking good.
This is EPIC. I can barely fathom how they play the start- the pace and timing of those guitars and drum riffs at the beginning!!! WOW!!!! Great lyrics. This band is not like others. I saw them at the UNSW roundhouse last Saturday night. EPIC
Recently discovered these guys and was fortunate enough to see them a couple of weeks ago. What an awesome unpretentious band they are! Can't wait to see them live again 👍🎸🎶👏💯😊
to the boyz in Caligula's Horse I say: this is godly! I can only imagine how good this will be live! am also waiting (im)patiently for some drum and guitar playthrough. The song hits hard at first listen already. Am super hyped for the whole album.
First song i ever heard from CH was Turntail I did not like it at first but listened to it three time sin a row. This is what great bands are all about it takes some time to get to know them but once you are hooked you are hooked!! Massive band!!
@@diegorivas5632 the new album has a long song too, called 'the ascend', I hope it will be as good as Graves At this point if you want you can check out my band Within Progress, we have released and EP and a single, we are now recording our first LP
Ahhhhh I fucking love this so much! Really brings me back to the first time hearing Caligula's Horse and I'm falling in love with their music all over again.
never listened too much to CH other than a few tracks here and there, but digging this. Giving me heavier Karnivool vibes and this is 100% okay with me 🤘
Treated to a solo just over 2 minutes in. So nice. All the songs so far from the album are different but very CH. Cannot wait for the album to release.
I am loving Duck’s guitar wankery. It’s very pleasing to the ears. Jim’s voice is angelic as always. I am so keen for this album!! Tick counter going and everything.
Valkyrie Wait You're holding your breath and not your ground We're here again With a head full of war You need it to fill the fight in your hands So scream at the wall An echo calm spits back to say "I will not falter" Wait Pacify, survive Time's no symmetry You rattle the cage But to be still is not to be weak And you'll never run until you've got the strength to be on unsteady feet Collide Breathe with me Peace is not your enemy Call for the valkyrie It's not impossible It's just the end of your reach This is not forever Valkyrie The song inside us all This is it You and me We bleed impossible It's alright Can't you see the wonder in the wait? It's never too late It's alright now Gravity is growth, we're not there yet Can't you see the wonder in the waiting? It's alright Choose the way Unafraid And the wait hasn't even begun Together we choose the way Collide Choose the way You can fight for the quiet, the old war Together we choose the way Collide Choose the way The alive will strive to sever Untethered, we choose the way We're not there yet Clinging to the weight of the world To static, the martyr to pride But you are the war The spite and its author You and I were born unready To stumble, to see Peace was never your enemy Go on and call for the valkyrie It's not impossible It's just the end of your reach This is not forever Valkyrie The song inside us all This is it You and me We bleed impossible It's alright Can't you see the wonder in the wait? It's never too late It's alright now Gravity is growth, we're not there yet Can't you see the wonder in the waiting? It's alright
Rodrigo Ambriz Im thinking the opposite. I fucking live for these gorgeous covers they keep putting out on Spotify for the singles. The art for this album is some of the greatest album art I’ve ever seen. I’d actually almost prefer If they’d release each song one by one without an “album release date” and just give each song its own cover.
So i like the song overall, the melody, instrumentals and lyrics but there is one thing that threw me off that I just can't get use to and it's at 1:57. The melody starts at 1:47 and when it hits at 1:57 (it's never toooo) it broke that whole melody. Other than that I like the song.
