[@kapataunporter]

Thank you, now I can stop looping The Day That The World Breaks Down.

[@Blake101247]

Totally me (I've been also looping The Day That The World Breaks Down)

[@RafaAchnitz]

Our world loves your music, Arjen! Ayreon FOREVER! Brazil here!

[@AIgeneratedAlien]

AEEEEEEEEEE! BRASIL REPRESENTANDO!

[@omniviewer2115]

More lyric videos should be this interesting. Man, I'm loving this album the more I hear of it!

[@TheWaynejoyner]

thank you for kind words. much love went into making this video ;)

[@timothyissler3815]

How is the Ayreon mythos not a TV series or a movie yet?

[@barbaravance6774]

Ikr?!?! I'm really shocked it hasn't been. And it should be.💕

[@linabasilisk1955]

Because Hollywood and TV suck and seem allergic to awesome ideas. They sometimes slip up and let one through, but it's getting rarer. Thank goodness for books and folks like Arjen.

[@chocolatecookie8571]

Any Lord of the Rings will do or any Middle Ages movie will do. 😆🤣

[@chocolatecookie8571]

Plus Star Trek

[@chaos1010c]

I like how everyone has a title/role and then Paul Gilbert is just Paul Gilbert :P Great song mate!

[@erikrevier4053]

I haven't been this excited for an album in a long time. Can't wait for my copy!

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Mine arrived in the mail today! Short distance from the Netherlands to Norway... :D

[@pedroordonez7031]

did you order any special edition?

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Yes, signed "booklet-type" with the DVD.

[@pedroordonez7031]

Great, mine must be on the way then!! woohoo

[@Mordra]

1:50 "The Age of Shadows has begun!"

[@BaneOfXistence4]

When Hansi sings "I found our destination" it's quite reminiscent of the Age of Shadows chorus. I like that subtle nuance that Arjen does that spans all of his albuns.

[@j.s.173]

James and Hansi.. together! Wow, this is awesome! It would be fantastic to see both of them together live.

[@missdoom1]

It's nice to hear that there are also vocalists that don't scream their lungs out as well :) So much more dynamic! One does not need to scream to be a good singer :)

[@lenax7073]

Space opera has a whole new meaning now.

[@helenehoefman7469]

I was reading the morning paper...saw a second article about a certain Arjen Lucassen, who lives quite closeby....and thought I'd check it out...went to youtube...ordered the album..wauw! Compliments to all...what a joy!!

[@exyt451]

Those AAA animations are... waouh.. mindblowing ! Awesome job to you Arjen, and all the team with you ! Can't wait for the release !

[@TheWaynejoyner]

Thank you for your compliment on the graphics :)

[@exyt451]

;) You made it ?

[@TheWaynejoyner]

yup.

[@exyt451]

Congrats then ! That's very cool and pro stuff ! I'm working (as a hobby) on a sci-fi multimedia project too, and it'd be a "dream comes true" to have this kind of graphics for this project ^^ Arjen is lucky to have you ! :) Keep it up ! And good luck for the future :)

[@madDdog67]

So we get an amazing Paul Gilbert solo, followed immediately by Floor Jansen...dude, are you trying to KILL us with awesome? Seriously :)

[@Hamezzify]

Listened to this album for 3 years and that didn't occur to me until just now, holy shit

[@aprofessionalcitizen9030]

PAUL GILBERT got in on this? Hot damn

[@superduperbjarne]

"I am of the stars. I am called "forever". Eternity courses through my veins." I always thought he meant figuratively, but he literally has liquid eternity flowing in his veins

[@marcilliofagner3335]

Man, ayreon is the best metal project I ve ever heard.

[@wilsard]

i think this is more star one than star one is. if this had been an actual tv show or movie. gilbert's awesome solo reminds me of something i can't place, but it couldn't have been so great without the song you gave him to play over.

[@Beta4Life]

I can't stop listening to this album. Hard to say for sure after only two weeks of owning it, but there is a very real chance it is my favorite album of all time. My previous favorite was The Human Equation, haven't gone more than 6 weeks without listening too it all the way through since it was released. The Source seems like it is going to demand my attention even more often. Incredible work as usual for Arjen.

[@madderHare]

The single greatest live performance of all time in its entirety, that Ayreon: Universe. ARJEN! You shouldn't have stage fright, your fans love you

[@PedroGarcia-oz7ci]

First time listening: ok, this is nice. Second time: wait, this is really good. Third time: I FOUND OUR DESTINATION! NEAR THE STAR OF SIRRAH! A SPHERE DROWNED IN WATER! NEAR THE ALPHA PEGASI!

[@renevw5812]

Zoveel genoten van dit albums. Top werk en een hoop plezier te horen!

[@johnnykochanko8291]

I can see a major motion picture based on this song alone. Fantastic job Arjen!

[@StripedTheProtector]

Interstellar comes pretty close.

[@melawmoniac]

Would it be too much to ask if you can make a lyric video for the whole album? Haha, I just love them.

[@cristopherandrade5662]

X2

[@Eagna55555]

I must say no

[@anthonyhdz]

Con esos apellidos, apostaba 10 rojos a que sos tica. :D Buen comentario.

[@melawmoniac]

Estás en lo correcto jaja. Sí, Ayreon es toda.

[@anthonyhdz]

Que si que. Otro buen comentario, jajaja!

[@shanewells780]

I wish ayreon had a bigger presence in the U.S.

[@ancientruinsofficial]

I truly cannot stop listening to this album. thank you for getting such an amazing group of singers.... hopefully one day you'll be able to get Matt Barlow on vocals.

[@wisnu.andhika]

love Ayreon as always, here from Indonesia.

[@lilyzinhah]

Pronto, posso morrer feliz de ter ouvido meus maiores ídolos tocando juntos, Paul Gilbert no Ayreon para mim Foi algo acima de um sonho pra mim. ❤

[@demizarock3587]

The drill it's strong in this solo haha. Paul Gilbert it's one of my favourites musicians and now hear him playing with my favourite band it's an amazing experience, my brain has melted.

[@AlexisGitarre]

LYRIC VIDEO???? Most bands don't even come close with their normal videos. This is absolutely amazing! I'll definitely grab the record! Love your work Arjen! Thank you for your dedication.

[@68SYNTHMAN]

Wordless! Ayreon never dissapoint me on every new album!

[@God_Machine]

No way am I going to miss that full Paul Gilbert solo! As soon as the video finished, I went to Spotify to listen to what was edited out! Just ten more days until the album is released! Also, I'm getting the feeling that whoever designed the graphics for these videos must have played DOOM and Evolve!

[@TheWaynejoyner]

more like Mass Effect ;)

[@infernoCBR]

Yeah, that drive core looks pretty familiar :) Great job by the way Wayne.

[@TheWaynejoyner]

Thank you!

[@matiastomic6570]

Mega-master Lucassen, one of the powerest reason who i decided start to learn keyboard. Thank´s for your greats works ! ! ! !

[@BrandonBlume]

Interesting to hear the difference between the guess-the-vocalist demo excerpts and the final product.

[@Metalton95]

Four minutes and ten seconds into it, all I could think was "I'm SO ready".. how you can keep up since ITEC is amazing.. I became a fan before TToE and when it was released in 2013 it became my 2nd favourite album EVER! Amazing to hear you live up to your high standards Arjen!

[@CosmicNed]

Just got home to find my 2CD+5.1 DVD signed copy of The Source has arrived - definitely the best Ayreon so far imho... loving the big guitars in Surround Sound! Awesome!!!

[@alexvrazel734]

This is amazing! I'm really happy I pre-ordered "The Source" long time ago.

[@HowlingIronMetalBlog]

1:09 gosh, I love that main heavy riff so much

[@gilmarmagalhaes2669]

Straight from Almah - Beyond Tomorrow LOL.. jokes aside, the base guitar for the solos in this song is quite similar to the main riff here.

[@uhanam]

I get goosebumps when I hear Hansi Kürsch sing the the line "in the Star of Sirrah"

[@luispower1979]

Goosebumps on each bar of the song! Thanks a lot!!!!

[@apophisss]

i got chills the entire song omg and the CGI is amazing too

[@raullobleon8337]

Thanks for such wonderful music Mr. Lucassen!! Long Live Ayreon!

[@TarksGauntlet]

Star One and Ayreon collide!

[@TinoilPatatino]

Tarks Gauntlet possibly quite intentionally ;) bearing in mind the song title

[@KrisVonInks]

OMG, you're causing way too much excitement, Arjen! You're killing me here! Can't wait to have the album in my hands and in my head for eternity!

[@ZainaArekat]

Mr. L, you rock!

[@Space-Meat]

Вот уже более 10 лет я слушаю музыку Арьена в самые разные моменты жизни и видимо так и буду слушать до конца жизни. Балдеж!

[@Kratsac]

you can´t go wrong with Hansi Kürsch and James LaBrie.

[@frederickdavison4954]

definitely not with Hansi, but James can be hit or miss (his ayreon work is great, but some of his dt work is a bit off) Russel allen is hard to go wrong with as well

[@0oOMaureenOo0]

Or with Russel Allen, Jorn...

[@ClaudiaHernandez-tv9ct]

Agree with Hansi.

[@necroplastful]

Or with any one singing on this fucking record! Its off the charts!!!!

[@nastasiacr3676]

OK wait a minute. I found my old ayreon album (01011001) and started to listen to old songs yesterday, I remembered today how I loved another album that I don't physically own, so I searched ayreon on KZbin and saw really recent uploads. Is this a new album???!?? With Hansi again as well? Oh my god I loved both of them in Ayreon songs I'm so excited I need to check it out. What a great coincidence this was!

[@GeeVanderplas]

Nice cameo of the Narcissus :) Oh and a great song too!

[@reindeerfinn9249]

It’s awesome when Ayreon meets Avantasia in Tobias Sammet’s lines. Feels like coming home ❤️

[@osmarreyes2925]

Arjen you really are genius! Can't wait anymore to hear the whole record!

[@m3na9]

The lyrics mirror Atlantis, as well as when Humans had to leave MARS because of an environmental cataclysm we caused. Humans are visiting the themes that we grappled unsuccessfully with in Atlantis; and like your lyrics say, we have saved our race more than once before by letting many more of us die (be left behind). I still struggle with piecing this together, only because No One alive can or will Ever 'die' (unless sent to the Central Sun for soul recycling, ...but this is an extreme step rarely taken, is the impression I have gotten). I guess the answer to my struggle is the fact that many former Atlanteans are walking the Earth today -- and they .. many of them... are shattered by revisiting a pending cataclysm that is altogether beneath our waking consciousness(es), if you will. There is more to say. I may come back and edit this to add more. Blessings to All.

[@tioreilly625]

This really has the potential to be my new favorite Ayreon album (currently its 01). I swear it feels like Arjen was skimming through my iPod and was like "ok, that singer.....that one....ooh that one too....oh I like him....gotta have her.....oh yea, him too!"

[@nikkinielsen8140]

Only ten more days.

[@daaoem]

You got that right! See you next week's Friday or so!

[@Dymundback]

Maggy did a flawless job at covering both main verses.

[@Thevanderoy]

Thank you Mr. Arjen for your great music, can't wait to get my hands on your new album! Greetings from Portugal!!!! You Rock !!!!

[@Keltaani]

Oooh I remember Floor's and Nils' part from the guessing games :D My goodness, this album can't come soon enough...

[@mshnamte85]

I'm so glad that Paul Gilbert had a beautiful and melodious solo here

[@metallizedmind4363]

It is very satisfying to feel the spirit of Star One in Ayreon. Nothing but a simple pleasure.

[@Kneu4]

With all these legends together couldn't be better

[@stephrs1754]

Gorgeous visuals, killer bombastic music, and phenomenal vocals! The album is sounding more and more amazing with each song! Well done yet again! :-)

[@Manowar24]

Another Masterpiece from this great album!! Venezuela here!!

[@MysticLycium]

Epic!! As always :3 The guitars are *so* heavy here, I love it!!

[@arseniikvachan]

This is what humanity will listen to in 100 years

[@thanatos_razl]

ooh I'm reminded of 'Out of the White Hole' with the mention of Sirrah. I love the depth and emotion each singer can bring out. From Russell's desperation all the way to Floor's certainty at the end. Also great referencing lyrically to earlier work. You've always been a great inspiration for when I'm having a bad day. I just put on an Ayreon song and I feel better. I can't wait! 9 more days!

[@therobbersdaughter2700]

I listen to "the Source" right now and can already say, that this album is basically amazing, as always .... ! You and everyone who worked on in it did a really great job ! ^-^ Thank you for this piece of art :)

[@roydragon64]

Absolutely amazing! All these pictures of apocalyptic future and space represents perfectly the Ayreon's music and atmosphere! Best lyric videos of the internet! :D

[@TheWaynejoyner]

Thanks Roy, worked hard on bringing this awesome to life :D

[@GuitarJammer]

Floor is the closer for all the epic songs on this album. Probably because she kills it every time!

[@Rasnafa]

Mr Lucassen, it's not 2016, it's 2017 :D love u long time

[@LS-bf7mk]

Rasnafa i think the album was made in 2016

[@Rasnafa]

The other videos say "2017"

[@ChrisdeHaan]

Rasnafa the other videos at one time said 2016 also. Not sure if Arjen is trying to see how much we are paying attention or not.

[@TheRockOffice]

He is just backdating the songs :D

[@kevboard]

I bet that dirty hippie Mr. L is responsible for it! xD too stoned to remember what year it is :) take your meds, it's 2017

[@tobiassheline6850]

This is one of my favorite albums/songs by you Arjen. Love your work and support you. Ayreon Forever!

[@rutgerhoekstra1666]

this song is so nice and the solo from paul gilbert fits so well

[@weird_cds8206]

Only a few more days till I have this beautiful, autographed CD in my grubby little hands! CANNOT WAIT!

[@brianasciak1668]

one of the most heaviest in this album, can't wait for DVD. wished i was there. Thank you Arjen for making my days cosmic

[@raphaelnunes7153]

Impossible not to like this production, it would be much more crazy to see a show in Brazil with Arjen

[@pahema472]

AAL's musicality never ceases to amaze me. Extraordinary.

[@thamasteroneill]

This video is being featured on nu.nl a dutch news site. You are getting some love from the media it seems.

[@juanestebanparraos3763]

I'M ECSTATIC, I think I've never seen so much talent in so few minutes. Star of Sirrah!!!

[@sasasimic8380]

This master peace is getting better and better and better and better and .....

[@ricardodevilee5078]

I received the album today! Can't wait to listen to it on my drive home.

[@ThisPunyHuman]

Last year: Replay this again and again and again This year: and again and again and again...

[@mgammeren]

and again and again in this year.

[@JVVZiin]

just release it already! omg

[@IrisCornelydeBoer]

Amazing theatrical song Arjen! And I mean involving Alpheratz into the story gives it that extra layer that you always give your work. You do your research. Hats of to you.

[@fabioc.9682]

exactly! this album is absolutely brilliant

[@HastyBacon]

Upon viewing this for a third time, I just realized that at 3:47, the room in those few frames is an area from Fallout New Vegas. It's the Brotherhood of Steel bunker in the Hidden Valley. That's awesome!

[@chocolatecookie8571]

Paul Gilbert, amazing. And Arjen also with his brutal riffs and unique guitar sound.

[@diegodeathbat6466]

The song is incredible, Greetings from Mexico :D

[@leonoliverrmusic]

Awesome! Couldn't expect less from you, Arjen. Can't wait for the album!

[@jabberwocky666]

The main riff it's just too awesome and when it really kicks in @1:09 it just gives me goosebumps. Russel never fails to deliver and the chorus by Hansi and Tobias is just mind blowing. Excellent work by all other the vocalist as well. Looking forward to the Ayreon concert in September, on two different days! yey. Thx Mr Arjen one more time for this great piece of music

[@redsed1565]

One of the best ever😊

[@justzephyrin6598]

Another masterpiece from the genious one calls Arjen Anthony Lucassen. I can't wait for the full album release.

[@Tminus31]

I've noticed a recurring theme in the three songs we've heard so far in that Floor seems to make a dramatic appearance near the end of the song

[@TerranigmaQuintet]

Well she is rather famous for ending songs on an epic note. :P

[@kevboard]

all the little nods to past albums ^_^ and of course the short Everybody Dies part :D

[@demonicparadise7521]

Arjen I love your music soo much i listen to entire albums on repeat. i love most of all that you tell a story in your music and i hope one day i may have the honor of singing on an album.

[@Roundhay2718]

Amazing to see this live!

[@RippinRegJackson]

It's getting better and better :D

[@Nomen_Latinum]

Fantastic nod at Into the Electric Castle at 4:19-I just had to look up the original album art and compare them side by side.

[@mayariarusha5162]

The Source is such an awesome album, love it

[@Timzdametal]

I'm calling it. My mind is made up. This is my favorite Ayreon album ever.

[@gpersefone]

Woohoo!!! Hansi the astronomer, just like me :)

[@tristanroberts]

loving the shoutouts to the binary Y album. Looking forward to a return to the main saga

[@rickoswald7423]

I ordered the 2cd/dvd I will wait for it to arrive and at that time give it a proper listen. Can't wait! nobody makes music like Arjen. a musical genius imho.

[@benoitthouy247]

Ayreon meets StarOne in some ways ...

[@samo6886]

Vice versa

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Without your music I would be totally lost.Simply perfection.
