I'm from Ukraine, I've been listening to you since 2008. Thank you Jonas for being with Evergrey and the fans for so many years. We are waiting for you after the war in Ukraine 
I guess this beautiful sendoff has to do with the respect and admiration between the members of this amazing band called EVERGREY!!! They are trully beautiful people one can only admire!!
That send off to the drummer at the end was very impressive...the best farewell that may be given to a rock band member, just after a final performance. Hats off to everygrey
The last good album they release was The Inner Circle. they sucked after that. Sounds like auto pilot, garbage how the vocals sound. The dark despair and raspy vocals have been gone ever since. How a band can fall so hard is insane to me. Solitude, Truth, Recreation and Circle. 4 masterpiece albums followed by pure garbage. Makes me sad and ever grey every time I think about it :(
I can't complain. Evergrey are always delivering the goods by recording 100% extremely good music. They deserve more credit and respect than they do recieve. Evergrey rocks.
It's like echoes on the inside Your unspoken words It's like knowing without knowing Just knowing that it hurts It's like you painted a picture Without colors and inert You spoke without phrases And still hoped to be heard Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Just like the way of the water and the way of the wind A fallen rain will have fallen still Like the weight of the will there's a before and after And when you start to travel you've already left Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting
Sad, but it's part of life! Nothing lasts forever! If it really is a farewell, I wish you the best of luck, Jonas! You have been and will continue to be a part of my life in every moment I listen to your art. I'll follow you, in case you're embarking on a new journey! A big hug from one of your Brazilian fans! You have many here! And to everyone in the band, congratulations on planning a farewell that respects Jonas and fans from all over. I found it very beautiful!
Dizer É como ecos por dentro Suas palavras não ditas É como saber sem saber Só de saber que dói É como se você tivesse pintado um quadro Sem cores e inerte Você falou sem frases E ainda esperava ser ouvido Diga o que você quer Diga como você vê isso Diga antes que meu coração me faça deixar isso Diga o que você quer Apenas diga como você me quer Diga antes que eu me acostume com essa dor Assim como o caminho da água e o caminho do vento Uma chuva caída terá caído ainda Como o peso da vontade, há um antes e um depois E quando você começa a viajar você já partiu Diga o que você quer Diga como você vê isso Diga antes que meu coração me faça deixar isso Diga o que você quer Apenas diga como você me quer Diga antes que eu me acostume com essa dor Diga o que você quer Diga como você vê isso Diga antes que meu coração me faça deixar isso Diga o que você quer Apenas diga como você me quer Diga antes que eu me acostume com essa dor Diga o que você quer Diga como você vê isso Diga antes que meu coração me faça deixar isso Diga o que você quer Apenas diga como você me quer Diga antes que eu me acostume com essa dor
This one became one of my favorite Evergrey songs. There are so many amazing things happening here, like Hammond intro, verse riff, first part of Hendrik solo in Hendrix single coil sound and style and lastly the all mighty prog riff which I´ve found strange after first hearing but now I can´t make it through my day without it
Honestly I was shocked when I saw the ending, because for a few days we were wondering if he really was going. But now knowing how Jonas said he couldn't tour any more I understand. Really classy way to send him off. Let him say goodbye after an amazing song, on 1 on 1 terms with the fans. Really nice way to do it.
I've been listening to metal since I was very young (I'm 51 now) and I've never seen a send off for a band member who's leaving quite like this. Truly Evergrey is a class act. Much love and respect, and good luck to Jonas in his future endeavors.
Evergrey | Say It's like echoes on the inside Your unspoken words It's like knowing without knowing Just knowing that it hurts It's like you painted a picture Without colors and inert You spoke without phrases And still hoped to be heard Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Just like the way of the water and the way of the wind A fallen rain will have fallen still Like the weight of the will there's a before and after And when you start to travel you've already left Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting
I probably met Evergrey in 2004 when I was 13 years old and now at 33 I'm still here, they are one of my favorite bands. Thank you Jonas for everything.
Shalom im from Israel love this guys so much 🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this song as like many of them are brilliant and amazing the lyrics are so deep Love you very much ❤❤❤❤
LYRICS Its like echoes on the inside Your unspoken words It's like knowing without knowing Just knowing that it hurts It's like you painted a picture Without colors and inert You spoke without phrases And still hoped to be heard Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting Just like the way of the water and the way of the wind A fallen rain will have fallen still Like the weight of the will there's a before and after And when you start to travel you've already left Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Say how you see this Say before my heart is making me leave this Say what you want Just say how you want me Say before I'm getting used to this hurting
The first Evergrey album that I had the pleasure of listening to was Escape of the Phoenix at the end of 2021. I liked the album's spectacular cover at first glance and decided to click to see what it was like. Best decision of my life. Since then, an instant fan. I also loved what I heard in A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) and now I'm counting down the days until the beginning of next month to listen to this Theories of Emptiness!! I'm not Swedish, but I liked the country's metal so much that in addition to Evergrey, I became a fan of 7 other bands from the country😅 If there are Swedes here in the comments, thank you very much for having such a gold mine of incredible musicians. I hope they continue to produce great bands in future generations.
Ugh. Had no idea Jonas was leaving. I know how much he was involved with production and behind the scenes of the band. Stable decade or so but sad to see Him go.
Evergrey never disappoints, I look forward to each release from these guys, congratulations, you joined one of my favorite bands, greetings from Brazil
It is an absurd that I have been a metalhead for 15 years, constantly trying to discover new bands and metal genres, and I only discovered Evergrey this year. These guys are so epic, they really deserve more credit and recognition
Similar when I first heard them 5 years back 😎 The most prolific and consistently brilliant band I've come across since Maiden in the 80's (Yes I am that old). These guys should be filling arenas, no question 🤘
Agreed! 4-5 yrs now a Fan, Thanks to a Goth Girl I met who told me about them. There isn't 1 bad song, don't have to flip through any songs, they All kick Ass! No matter what, I Will continue to support the band members of Evergrey for All the years to come.. Loyal means Loyal despite band member changes or whatever. I Love You guys! Keep it Rockin! 🤘🏻💀
@@BigD123749 Glad to see that post/msg. That Album is one of my faves too! That bassline on "Currents"..and other tunes! Every aspect of the band just Kicks Ass! The Lyrics and vibe of the songs just take things to another level! Long Live Evergrey! 🤘🏻💀
@BIGLou888 currents is nuts, the outro to that song is phenomenal, end of silence is a absolute banger too, but silent arc is probably my favorite, I still 100% hold that as my most favorite metal record ever, beating any of the other "bigger" names in metal by a long shot
While it sucks that he's leaving, that was an excellent way to let Jonas say good bye to the fans. With almost 20 years combined behind the kit for Evergrey, that's going to be a seriously tough seat to fill.
@@PetarMakesNoise Yes, I did. I didn't know exactly what that was all about, & didn't know he was leaving the band, nor why. The band abandoned their official website, & I am blacklisted from FascistBook for not being a commie twat, so I cannot follow what is up w/any band who doesn't use an actual official website.😒
I wish Jonas all the best. I hope Jonas will still write some for the band or with them. Maybe not touring will allow him to come up with some great stuff. Such a hard working non stop band and it just has to burn out some of the members to the point of no return.
I discovered Evergrey when Patrick was leaving, and Jonas were there, amazingly pushing forward the band with The Inner Circle drums, a pure, heavy, dark and tight sound. Alongside Hakansson, Kainulainen and Niemann, Evergrey got a rock solid "kitchen", and his way of playing fit so well... Is hard to say goodbye again, I'm thankfull I got to atend to a gig in Brazil and felt the massive sound echoing through my body, and I'll try my best to be there again this year. THANK YOU, for your soul in music, thank you Evergrey, for all the great stuff.
Same for me. Stil remember the "I'm Sorry" video when Patrick exchanges place with Jonas. Jonas is one of my favorite drummers of all time. He will be missed for sure.
You have LOTS of catching up to do! This yr. marks their 30th anniversary! 1st album "THE DARK DISCOVERY" came out all the way back in '98. Many great albums & songs, & many lineup changes too! Tom Englund is the only original member left.
Thank you Jonas for some amazing drum parts. I was hooked on Evergrey and your drumming style from the moment I heard your snare drum rudiments on King of Errors. So glad you had this moment at the end of the video. Class act .
Evergrey. What can I say. As I was immersed in listening to HAMMERFALL's masterpiece INFECTED back in May 2011. RU-vid recommended I listen to your version of SORRY. I was blown away to smithereens 😅 Then a year later I discovered WRONG and the Glorious Collision album. After that I was a fan forever. Stay well brothers and keep making the classics. Vale Jonas, you will be missed. Thanks for the memories ❤ from Melbourne Australia 🌏🦘
See You All at Sala Porta Caeli in Valladolid ( Castilla y León, Spain ), next november 2024. All the Best since then Evergreies !!!. ..I said. Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

Beautiful ! 🫶🏻❤️🔥 A GREAT video, and a beautiful farewell to our beloved Jonas! 🙌🏻 Obviously we wish him the best 💪🏻 and to continue enjoying this Band that I LOVE ! 🔥🤘🏻🔥 EVERGREY is INCREDIBLE! We are waiting for you in Buenos Aires! 🇦🇷
Farewell Jonas! Your drumming, ear for groove, and your ability to really elevate all the melodies are on par with some of the Swedish greats from all over the metal world. Your work on 'The Atlantic' helped me rediscover this band for the first time since hearing 'In Search of Truth', and has kept me here since! I hope to hear new music from you in the future!
Thank you, Jonas! It´s been an amazing ride! I learned about Evergrey when you just joined. It´s been a wild ride....and I hope they find someone who fits into the fold just like you did! Well, given the time, I think there´s already someone who´s practicing for the upcoming dates, in South America. "Say" is an awesome track. One of the best since "The Atlantic". Looking forward to the new album! I know, it´s gonna be fantastic!
Very emotive way to say goodbye to Jonas, the same way Patrick Carlsson handle the drumsticks to Jonas on the "I'm Sorry" videoclip. I would've love to see the new drummer on the video, it would have been a nice way to welcome him. Sad Sad Day! 😢
Great song! But now the Heavy Metal Evergrey world is in turmoil....WHAT'S WITH THAT FUCKING ENDING? Jonas NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jonas has been so important to the writing process, the sound, the unconventional timing and rhythms between what the guitars are doing vs the drums. This is a little bit of a blow tbh. I guess with the next video release we'll see who is there. I hope to hell he has big AF feet because the shoes he needs to fill are EPIC!! Thank you Jonas for your part in such wonderful Evergrey music over the years. HORNS UP, WAY UP FOR JONAS EKDAHL 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@felixtroche2226 difference is that this time it seems more clearly amicable. I'm guessing Jonas has other commitments that would make touring too problematic (Young kids? Can't afford it? Dunno). Similar issue to why Johan Langell left Pain of Salvation. I'm seriously bummed, as I was overjoyed when Jonas and Henrik came back, but this definitely feels like a happier departure. Jonas will be missed!
We all know what happens without Jonas!! It wasn’t terrible but I was happy to leave it behind us lol. See what I did there guys!? Jonas is so much more than a world class drummer. I don’t want to imagine my favorite band without his influence. Love you Jonas!
@@wesliggett2454 yet I madly loved Patrick Carlsson's drumming, the one who played on the two best albums in Evergrey's discography. and these two albums will forever remain the best albums in Evergrey's discography.
@@wesliggett2454 Hannes is more than a capable drummer, but, decided to join Sabaton instead. They are still friends. & Jonas & Henrik left before to get their Death metal band going, which I guess didn't go well. I don't know though, as I can't stand Death Metal.😒
