EPICA - The Final Lullaby (ft. Shining) (OFFICIAL VIDEO) 

Everyone talks about the Saxophone but no one talks about the man behind that shit! His name is Jørgen Munkeby and he created a monster band called Shining (Nor). Go and look for them if you want some more of those sick saxophones!

WOW!!! That chorus! That sax!! It's EPICA but it's also so very different. Fucking LOVE this!!

This song is just so good, Simone's voice is always amazing and Jorgen's voice just works so well with both hers and the song. I could listen to that chorus on repeat for hours!

That sax truly elevates this song

EPICA played saxophone in my dream once and now it became reality. Thank you EPICA!!!! Hopefully more songs like this....

Omg! I'm there in the 3:32 with the argentinian flag 🇦🇷 so happy to be part of that night! The new song was a blast, love it the blend 🤘

By far my favorite thing about Metal is how people can take literally any instrument or style they want and just toss it in, all for fun, obviously having a blast, and it'll sound really cool.

Blown away by this different sound from Epica.

Epica is definitely the best symphonic metal band - i cant get this song out of my head

She must be a vampire, she didn't aged a bit. Beautiful as always:) Queen of metal Greetings from Slovenia

This video makes me really want to see them live.

I somehow missed this release, just ordered the EP waiting for it by listening to it on the RU-vid. Another great release so far from Epica!

This should not work but it actually does and it is a masterpiece

Every thing dies, but we can sing this on the way.

WHAT A CHORUS ( The one that you turn the volume up and sing along!)

This song plays a movie in my head, it is truly epic! One of the only songs that can bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it!

Epica now is one of the most productive bands :) The new song sounds "epican" and fresh at the same time. Love the saxophone parts

Epica is Love. First time they have ever used a saxophone, like it. ♥ Especially the mix with Epica's usual sound (which have always sounded great) and the more heavier and progressive elements that even contains even some jazz aspects in the end. It proves that Epica have always managed to keep a balance between the usual symphonic sound and new elements which they're not afraid to try. ❤❤

This song made me wish I could have gone to the upcoming Epica concert with you but I will never see you again and you won't probably remember me soon despite it all. This song would be so awesome to experience live. I heard you say it's over now though :( Thanks for introducing me to Epica. I will never forget you, till the end.

Crazy how I missed this release, wish I had seen it earlier. Im just hooked. Love it ❤❤

Wow such a perfect duet!, those voices were meant to be singing together ;what an awesome song !

Got introduced to Epica when they opened for Sabaton and damn one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to!!

you over there with the Greek flag, you are the real MVP!!!

listening to this band feels like being in heaven

Sometimes when things is falling apart, they may actually be falling into place...so don't bother much...for nature knows better than you ❤️

So many familiar faces in the crowd, that's the ultimate present Epica could've given us after queueing for over 20h to get the front row. Damn, that was the best night of my life! Amazing song, I'm so lucky to have experienced it live - can't wait for the rest of the EP to be released

Damn. That sax had me dead! Great song 10/10

I discovered this song very recently and it is amazing! It is in my TOP3 of the best EPICA music!

This looks like a very exciting project, kinda of what Tobi has been doing with Avantasia all these years. Epica never ceases to amazed me, mad respect for these guys and for all their hard work

Please, I don't want to wake up and end this beautiful dream that is listen Epica. Since 2002 is just one band in my speakers, my headphones and my heart! Epica will live for ever!

Yep still the best

omg, this is my favorite song, from day when went to see Apocalyptica concert in Riga. Didn't know who Epica was before.. but at that night Epica blew my mind.. i'm kinda fan now.. :D thank you guys!!

That 🎷 SAX just put the A on EPIC in this video! Incredible performance 🤘🏼

Hands up my favorite song after 1000 times listening to it!

In Japan, there was a TV program where Japanese orphans left behind in China met their long-lost parents. Why don't meet them, Mi-san? Even after resuscitation, they are still alive. Their parents are still alive. Reunion is the civil law.

This is one of the best Epica songs in the past five years

Vamos EPICA!!! 🇧🇷

Please don't ever stop releasing new music we beg you 😍

I just heard this on the Metal TV channel and I love it.

Amo esta canción, después de la pandemia, espere tanto por verlos en Ecuador y no me decepcionaron, cada que sacan un nuevo video se vuelve mi favorito, simplemente son una banda genial. Cada dia se los escucha mejor

Almost all of the top symphonic metal bands would never be able to make something like that

I love how they keep evolving while keeping that Epica essence we love so much ❤

Hell, it's about time! Металлисты используют саксофон. Groovy. Краснокнижный зверь. Нужно больше соло на саксофонах в progressive metal.

back here because this song is still fire

Speechless......except for the saying I'm speechless part LOL I always expect EPIC from EPICA

I didn’t enjoy this at Tilburg but I’m notoriously slow to get into new songs. I’ve heard this a few times now and it rocks. Love it. Alchemy is pre-ordered. Roll on November

Taro Kono is a man who has been on many battlefields. Fumio Kishida is also honored as a battlefield sniper.

Behold the correct use of saxophone!

This song and watching the video just gives me so much energy, it feels like I'm right back into the pit

Mother of God!! What a video with all the people we were all the night waiting in 013!! Amazing vídeo!!

Everything dies Mirror, mirror on the wall Who will be the one to destroy us all Mirror, mirror, can't you see? It's written in the stars that it's you and me They're gonna burn this world down to the ground Guns are going off, can't hear a sound Toxic in the air, I can hear you pray Will you stay with me? Can you hear what I say? You said, "Let's live forever now" But that was yesterday I guess it's time to say goodbye The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby It is time Don't you cry Say your prayers Wave goodbye As the darkness comes down The world ends and everything dies Mirror, mirror on the wall Do you think we can survive this all? Mirror, mirror, can you hear? They're coming for us, it is what we feared They're gonna tear this night up at the seams Lies are all around, nothing's what it seems Tear gas in the sky, I can't breathe Will I see you again? Will you remember me? You said, "Let's live forever now" But that was yesterday Now blood flows and fills the sky The stars begin to fade I hear you say, "It's over now" There's no time to cry I guess it's time to say goodbye The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby It is time Don't you cry Say your prayers Wave goodbye As the darkness comes down The world ends and everything dies You and I will find a way out here tonight Ooh (You said let's live forever now) So here we are, hand in hand (Everything dies) Watching the world end (It's now, everything dies) (I guess it's time to say goodbye) The rain is pounding down on us, from a broken sky (Everything dies) But we will live somehow (It's now) I hear you say, "It's over now" But there's no time to cry I guess it's time to say goodbye The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby Bye It is time, have no fear It's the end, it is here Say your prayers Wave goodbye - as it ends And everything dies

I'm just here to say that I'm here for SHINING. Respect to Epica for collaborating with class acts for this album though 🤘🏼

You have been here for me Epica and I will always be with you..🖤

VIVA EPICAAAA!!!! 🇸🇻

You guys have perfect harmony. I love yall ❤

I need much more sax in metal

I'll need to listen a few times to properly process the song, but it's highly encouraging to see the band experimenting; the Alchemy Project looks intriguing.

This video is FREAKING INSANE, congrats guys.

Absolutely obsessed with this song

Just when you think it can't get any better than this the sax part hits.

Just saw them last night. I have to say my views of this band have changed for the better. The sheer talent and chemistry blew me away. Epica is starting to win me over just a bit. Great stuff!

If there was a theme song for surviving the Apocalypse this folks is it. So epic and so much power in this song. Its like an energy source to listen to and i can't get enough so been playing this like daily the last week.

It's awesome how Simone Simons sings better performing live than studio version. By the way, the whole band is amazing! Cheers from Espirito Santo, Brazil!

Saburo Ishikura's wife is Hiromi Kumazaki. His eldest son is Nikau. His eldest daughter is Anna Nose.

The song is beautiful, Epica never disappoints. Shotout to the videomakers, they've all made a magnificent job: the video is hypnotizing, very well made and perfectly syncronized with the melody and in certain parts with the lyrics 🤘🏻

thats a collaboration I did not see coming...

I can't get enough of this! A whole month listening and watching every day multiple times

Thanks 🤠

Thanks for sharing. Great band!!!👍

What I really love about Epica is the fact that they are continuously giving us new music/new stuff. Take my moneeeey! 🤩🤩

I'm sorry to have just discovered this group, but we have energetic days ahead. Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷

Epica is one of my favorite bands of all time, ever sine 2004, but this is song Crestfallen by Soilwork. Another _great_ band. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but let's give credit when credit is due, either way. You're both incredible.

Epica's synthesizer is the deputy head priest of a Buddhist temple in Moldova. His home in Japan is a temple. No heir. Synthesizer's second son is the heir. Inabaji Temple.

So now we have an Epica Sax Guy.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever listened too. It's no wonder why Epica is 1). My favourite symphonic metal bands and 2). A true metal delight

Unless I'm wrong, she was totally drawn to singing and dancing with him, and Jorgen himself.

Money isn't power people are power money no matter the amount it means nothing without people

Great song and great footage of the 20th anniversary show. Was sooooo lucky to be there. 😁❤️ Great evening. Watched also the livestream two times. Hope that it will be released on Blu-ray and dvd. Thank you for this video.

I'll never be this cool, no matter how hard I try. :)

Wowwwww

Freezer resuscitation. 270 years old. Niwa-san is 180 years old. Niwa-san's younger brother is Shintaro.

I would Always love to hear more male clean vocals in Epica ! This song is amazing 👏 😍

Hope they will play this amazing song during their tour in Brazil this year!

Kishida doesn't know that change who talking to, it becomes criminal law.

so good

And Epica's keeps proving why it's the best symphonic metal band ❤️❤️ WHAT A SONG, I'M SO ADDICTED

never seen sax played in heavy music...thats really something awesome

Great song, funtastic!!!!!!! 👏👏👏

Guauuu, que dos voces. Ha quedado espectacular.

Poland loves you

It's a very good song. It's also a good thing that it's only for an EP and not a full album. EPs are for fun, whereas the main albums ideally should be full of an "EPIC" feeling.

Komori Makoto's mother is the second daughter of Emami Shun Salami's eldest daughter. His father is the second son of the Count of Arabia. He is powerful.

Amazing song

❤😍🌹🎼🎶A Simone deu um show de musicalidade e técnica no dueto. 🎶🎸🎤🎼 O Epica é uma banda de gênios da music e do metal 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶😍❤

You are simply by far the best symphonic metal band in the world! Love you Epica, forever and ever! 🖤🤘🏻
