Arch / Matheos - Tethered (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@mikearmstrong6736]

This song is beautiful beyond words, although Mr. Arch didn't seem to have any trouble coming up with some of the most memorable and clever lyrics I've ever heard. Just brilliant musically and lyrically.

[@metalbladerecords]

This is a re-upload! We were informed by the director of some small issues with the playback that have been corrected. Thanks for tuning in and spread the word about some really amazing prog metal!

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Amazing prog metal indeed! This is the best record I've heard in ages and more than worthy of purchase! Thanks Arch / Matheos and Metal Blade for making this classic happen!

[@capoditutticapos19]

guys, please release the lyrics for this album. i'm sure a ton of thought was put into them, but much of it is undecipherable from john's singing.

[@robertbishop5357]

Please encourage them to tour.

[@Iwillalwaysskipad]

I'm loving this album. Best of 2019 so far. John and Jim both still at the top of their game musically and lyrically.

[@costantinoandruzzi2219]

Indelibly into my heart Inscribed your love a lifetime ago Still all so near and so far away Seems like forever and a day And one by one I will climb the stars Up to the heavens where you are To hear you whisper again Till then our love remains ethereal And I don't want to sleep I can't bear another awakening, dawn breaking my heart You said what's meant to be will always find a way But it wasn't meant to be this way We touched the flames of infatuation Till incantations of the sirens brought the rains Our entangled flaws tethered us together The warm glow of the embers still remain You and I lying under the evergreens Sunbeams breaking through to kiss your face Snow-laden boughs, mare's tails and silhouette clouds The cirrus canvas disappears before our eyes Such is life What the universe unveiled In the same breath it rescinded and took it all away I'm afraid that in trying to forget It's really letting go and I could never I pray for truth, for light, and for the way There's nothing to behold since you went away There once was a fool that said time heals all wounds But I believe forever is too soon The horizon kissed the sun goodbye As the tides of a dream Pulled me back to the shallows Mesmerizing tangerine skies fade away And I don't want to sleep I can't bear another awakening, dawn breaking my heart You said what's meant to be will always find a way But it wasn't meant to be this way To this hallowed ground Your tears of stardust rain ethereal Till I find my way to you Our love remains ethereal We touched the flames of infatuation Till incantations of the sirens brought the rains Our entangled flaws tethered us together The warm glow of the embers will always remain Till then our love remains ethereal

Awesome stuff! John Arch is still one of the most awesome singers ever, in my opinion. Glad to see those two guys working together again, too.

[@toddvandell85]

John Arch still has a great voice and he'll be 60 this month.☺ And still writes lyrics.😉 Jim Matheos always writes great songs. I'm glad they're playing music together again. This is wonderful. They sound great. This is the original Fates Warning lineup reunited with a different band name because Ray Alder still currently sings and tours with Fates Warning. (Like Heaven & Hell was Black Sabbath recording and touring with Ronnie James Dio, while still touring and recording with Ozzy as Black Sabbath.)

I wanna look like that when I’m 60👌🏼He doesn’t age

[@davidratliff9084]

I really dig the original FW line up. Nothing wrong with the current, but the original is untouchable. Glad to find out they're still at it. John Arch is one of my favorite singers Ever since I first heard FW "Night on Brocken" back in the day..

This is by far the best song I’ve heard in a long time. The video gives the music an awesome dimension. I wish Arch /Matheos would tour with an acoustic or semi-unplugged set.

[@brentl.5350]

LouieV Lopez I’ve often thought the same thing. I would give anything to hear an acoustic version of Guardian.

[@The-Endungeoned]

Why would they tour with an acoustic set?🤔🤔Arch/Matheos albums and Awaken the Guardian for that matter are grandly based on heavy and complex giutar-work

[@VerasVictoryMusic]

@@The-EndungeonedI really liked the acoustic version of Firefly on the morning tv show. Plus if I had a close seat I could better figure out the chord progressions. 🤘🏼

My favorite song on 2019's best album. It's not that there weren't other great albums - there were plenty. What a beautiful song. The voice, the lyrics, the mesmerizing guitar work... a true modern metal masterpiece.

[@ktompa77]

Ι will only say that upon the first listen of this and Kindred Spirits, I literally started sobbing (especially with the latter). It is far more difficult to fall in love with an album so fast and head over heels, like I did in my youth, but my God can these two pull my heartstrings and feed my brain like noone else (well ok, Ray, Quorthon and EMPEROR too 😁). I wish at some point they would play again KIT or a similar fest with this project (and then FW would headline with another ATG celebration). ......and then I woke up😂

[@stevenvalenti3722]

It's a beautiful song. The words are like poetry. And the way John sings is like he's talking and reading but sung. It's a very strange way that he sings I find. Don't get me wrong I really like his voice and he is a great singer. But I've listened to this album and I really like the music alot. But the verses he sings in the way that he sings them go on too long. It's like he's ramblin on far too long on the verses. Just to many words in a song that goes on and on and on. It's almost like it is never going to stop. It's one of the strangest ways of singing I have ever heard. That's about the best way I can describe it. I wanted to really love this album. But I'm sorry to say his style starts annoying me after a few songs. And I really like his voice. That's sad part of it. I wish I could really like this album.😑

[@chewypc]

As always great music from Matheos. I'm just not a fan of Arch's voice. He has always sounded nasally and whinny to me. I know lots of people love him, but just not for me. I still tune in to hear Matheos music, but I can only take Arch in small doses.

[@grindcoremaniac]

It took me a few listens to get used to his voice too. It really grew on me though.

[@glenhuey5390]

First time I heard him back in the 80's I thought, whoa that voice is different, but love the music. Let the spectre within sit in my tape deck for months and started realizing that his voice is doing just as much as Matheos' guitar. His choice of timing with harmonies and chorus are like none other out there. Takes some spins to appreciate but once you get hooked you can't get enough of it. I do find it odd that people like Robert Plant get a pass on their "whinny" voice who do much less with their vocals, but Jon always gets this disclaimer. Not a dig at you chewy as I have heard this same complaint from many people.

[@chewypc]

It isn't a matter of getting use to his voice for me. Arch isn't something new to me. I've been a fan of Fates Warning since the 80s and have all their albums. I'm not saying he is a bad singer either. He clearly has lots of range and talent. There is just something about his tone and delivery that has never worked for me.

[@benedictdonald4338]

that's my opinion on the guy from Blind Guardian. I own every album, love the music, but the vox are borderline painful. So small doses it is.

[@katgasiorek2915]

I'm not a huge fan of his voice either but I think he sings beautifully on this track.
