Definitely not about drones/UFOs. It's about trying to use science/technology in order to try and find some sort of God like figure AKA The Watcher in the Sky.

She was spot on regarding the fadeout. I thought the same thing that based on the lyrics this fadeout made sense. I love this song and the whole album is amazing.

@jimcestaro7194 2 года назад

Tobias Forge said in an interview "This reverts back to the imperial world of Flat Earth Society members, basically. The narration is calling upon the scientific community to use whatever science we have here within this empire to stop looking at the stars and look for God instead. Can we reverse the tools that we have to watch the stars to communicate with the Lord? And is there any way to scientifically prove that the world is actually flat? Because it looks awfully flat from where we’re standing. So it’s a song about regression"

@creaturegrace 2 года назад

i personally believe the fade out lasts as long as it does because its supposed to represent the eternal search for the watcher in the sky

@FlameImperishable 2 года назад

Good point!

@magnusblomqvist966 2 года назад

True. Tobias knows what's he's doing.

@kydryo777 2 года назад

This album is like a compilation of the best of the 80s - early 90s. It's got rocking tunes and ballads. It's got everything that made 80s rock great. This and Spillways is probably my favourite off the album.

That full neck chord at the beginning of the two phrases in the pre-chorus is absolutely massive and fills the entire air with like a sonic wall.

Call me Little Sunshine is my favorite song off the album! But I love all the songs.

I owe you guys an apology. When watched your first video I was like I don’t know about this. Now I’m checking and rechecking my phone hoping to see a notification for more of your videos. Awesome reactions and having fun as well.

Wow,thank you! Full disclosure, we are complete noobs at the RU-vid thing so our first videos were our first attempts! Hopefully getting better with more experience!

Subscribed. Love your style guys. It is genuine, not fake or acting. She nailed it, you can almost imagine the search lights listening to the track. (I also like the fact you can hear your kids in the background, being a father myself this was also one aspect that I like).

@bradcorrigan1495 2 года назад

I'm just commenting on everyone of your videos at the point. I'm obviously a huge nerd for this band. I love his ability to write songs that could have double meanings. For me, this song is Satan inflicting the thought into people that with so much bad happening to people in the world, where is God? How could he let this happen? If he's everywhere and watching everything he is failing. It's the inevitable cynicism that starts to creep in when you start asking yourself those questions. I love that it fades out because to me it implies they're forever searching for God but never find them.

@Andy-hb8kl 9 месяцев назад

You need to try out Status Quo, massive band all over the world, except USA! But, I believe minor keys is their thing. Don't do any songs after 1981, but the 10 years before that, they were awesome.

@Galufsilenius Год назад

Guitist for Opeth did guitar work for the album so that's why the guitars sound fantastic

@Onyxthefem 7 месяцев назад

Watcher in the sky is about using the technology we have to look for god instead of looking for answers in space

@matthewharrington5526 2 года назад

That ending to Burden from Opeth I think is classic. But if you think of it, it’s like the detuning is its own form of a burden on the guitar.

@FlameImperishable 2 года назад

or a burden to my ears. Honestly, I wouldn't mind so much if that acoustic passage wasn't so freaking gorgeous. But because it is such a beautiful acoustic melody, it feels sacrilegious to desecrate it with nonsense. :)

@geezberry8889 2 года назад

@johnbon6 2 года назад

My new favorite reactors! So glad I found you guys :) Am I the only one who gets Ultimate Sin/Jake E Lee era Ozzy Osbourne vibes on this song? Also get a Savatage "Strange Wings" feeling in the outro. This is my personal favorite song on the album, although I love the whole thing.

@FlameImperishable 2 года назад

Wow thank you so much! I can totally see Ozzy singing this!

@stephenpetrovich2383 2 года назад

this is an 80s Arena rock anthem song...i can hear hints of Ozzy and hints of Dokken among the influences in this song....just expect to hear the crowds chanting along with the chorus

@jarethshaydes6001 2 года назад

If you haven't already checked it out, I'd recommend listening to "See the light" from ghosts album Prequelle. I'd like to hear your take on it

@mikewilson858 Год назад

This a song that as soon as I heard I knew they had to do it live. Your right about that almost siren sound. You can envision something like WWI or II with the searchlights probing the sky for Zeppelins. Like you gotta do that live with search lights at the arena.

@daniobri11 2 года назад

watcher in the sky is in Tobias's own words about how we could basically reverse evolution could happen through means of science basically flatten the earth and stuff like that witch in the time period would've been taken as pagan or basically witch branding....witch he basically found funny

Hey guys. Have you ever checked out Epica? Dutch Symphonic progressive metal band . I’d love for you guys to check out their newest album Omega

@FlameImperishable 2 года назад

Yes! Simone is fantastic! But I kind of wish they’d stop with the death vocals. For me it’s always been the weakest part of the band. But yeah I do love their music!

@IRanOutOfPhrases 2 года назад

Haha, just got done commenting on another video you guys did w/ Ghost where fade-outs were dismissed. And I made the same exact point Jennifer made :) There's definitely a time and place for them.

@akshay5295 2 года назад

You guys do it in one shot. No cuts. I like that. I know avoiding silences or pauses can be tricky but I wouldn't mind if there are some. It's more realistic.

@FlameImperishable 2 года назад

Wow thanks! Yeah I’m conflicted on whether we should start editing or just keep it casual. Thanks for the feedback!

@mattynutrition9353 2 года назад

I hear A7X influence on this one. Very very good, but I'd put it lower than any of the other major songs on this album. Song writing, production, and cohesiveness is top notch. Ghost FTW.

@mattynutrition9353 2 года назад

You should definitely react to Helvetesfonster (instr) / Life Eternal from Prequelle.

@simeondobrev5835 2 года назад

Yeah, it's very guitar focused, and that "solo" reminds of something Synsyster Gates would play.

@Lazarus_Cardinalis 2 года назад

Watcher in the Sky with Diam.... wrong song

@SubZtx 2 года назад

Man some editing would have made this song perfect. The chorus just gets grating in the last 2 minutes. It repeats 6 times before the fadeout even really begins then it sounds like it goes on like 10 times if you include those. He doesn't even change his vocal style any, it is just over... and over and over. Cut it down to two and then have it fade 2 more then I could listen to this song on loop. Need to make my own edit in Audacity. 😏

@FlameImperishable 2 года назад

A fair point!
