Blind Guardian - Dead Sound of Misery

[@FlyingCowStudios]

"The blood of sirens, on my hands I can't wash away.." Moments like that in music, especially in power metal are the reason why I listen to music. Truly.

[@kyuubikid7971]

I fucking love this song. I love that it has to do with the title of the album. "A twist in the myth" Fly is all about the magical and amazing parts of fantasy and dead sound of misery is essentially that gritty and realistic part of having to kill the fantastic creatures that pretty much terrorize the land.

[@MetalTalkPodcast]

Why is this not on Spotify? Such an amazing song. I actually prefer it over to Fly, so dark, even painful. Those poor Sirens.

[@TheTenaciousMaster]

Asking myself the same. I was looking for it to add to a playlist of mine but coudn't find it

[@cthulhumcswagger8659]

After listening to Fly many times, this song legit scares me. As if something evil infested and corrupted it.

[@AveSk1ba]

Have the same feeling :D

[@prawtism]

opposite for me :D Fly seemed so off from the beginning :D This is so beautiful

[@matrixarsmusicworkshop561]

Lol. Ill find out

[@mrosskne]

@@matrixarsmusicworkshop561 Find what out?

[@alphacritter5398]

@@mrosskne this song is about Babylon, fly was about peter pan

[@RougeMephilesClone]

I came upon this having listened to "Fly" countless times. Wasn't prepared for what I'd find. The album lived up to it's name, alright.

[@theironwilledninja]

This song is meant to be an opposite of Fly. Where Fly is about Peter Pan or Finding Neverland, hence why it's more upbeat (if it can be called that lol). This one is meant to showcase a more mythical Apocalypse setting, which is why it has a slightly different sound, as well as darker lyrics compared to Fly. I love this band so much.

[@prawtism]

Funny that this is the bonus track, because it's so much more sophisticated and has great harmonies.

[@Voc_spooksauce]

Man...the lyrics, the instrumentals, the vocals, how many parts of most songs sound like a whole orchestra singing togheter....Blind Guardian really is from *The Otherworld*

[@fuutaroututor8661]

I love how melancholic and gritty Dead Sound Of Misery is. A great contrast to the joyful atmosphere of Fly.

[@joao2271]

Wtf this is one of the best tracks of the album and is not on spotify

[@mikeprado30]

Life is sad 😕

[@Athan0503]

FYI: Dead Sound of Misery was PURPOSELY made to sound like "Fly". Why? It's the same song. BG was so intrigued with Fly they wrote another song on the melody, using alternate Lyrics and playing the song in another tune. They went from playing it in a major chord (Fly - Sounds like a "happy" song), and Dead Sound of Misery is in a minor, so it sounds "darker" or whatever you want to call it. I love the chorus in Dead Sound of Misery more than fly :P

[@InsertCleverNameHere0]

Well, compared to Fly, one could call this track a...twist in the myth...

[@justinsheppard539]

Um..I just saw this and i dont know what to say.

[@miarose5156]

I just saw this and went ahhhhhhhhhhhh! honestly never thought of this before 😂

[@jaidentrey7517]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother recently :)

[@drakeamir5885]

@Jaiden Trey yup, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

[@Cry4Tanelorn]

Dark, let's do it now Bring in the sirens, cut out their tongues, do it now! Ignore their cries!

[@mikeprado30]

Now cross the door and leave it Nothing went wrong

[@mkall]

the blood of sirens on my hands i cant wash away

[@mikeprado30]

Still it pours and stains our land In bitterness so cruel

[@rainmaker113]

they had an awesome riff and brought it into two differant directions, i wouldnt want to make the choice either, its best to let the fans have everything

[@realitygutter9694]

It's simply the alter ego of the song "Fly". It's obvious they did it for the twist, and just because they could! No mystery here, just inspiration and joy.

[@GetAnotherShrink]

Hehe, I love this little twist. One could say, there's something nice for everybody, a joyful song about Peter Pan, and this kinda wicked but catchy thing... And both are freakin' epic.

[@alphacritter5398]

PaganAstronaut it's about the whore of Babylon, read the lyrics bro

[@DrizztDoUrden1234567]

hahaha i love the intro, it's so great. LIVE LONG BLIND GUARDIAN \m/

[@ilokan1]

you are best of all power metal bands :D

[@TheMrCabbage]

Love it! Somehow draws Fortress from Heroes III to my mind making the song even more enjoyable

[@roxterat]

I know that one, though this does not reminds me of that one.. :3

[@ravciozo2137]

Ah, I see you're a man of culture, as well

[@bAcHnEsSmOnStA]

I

[@darkwanderer3310]

I love both versions!

[@SirAthanasius]

Great Song

[@Athan0503]

No problem, i spent quite a while figuring this out as i was wondering myself when i first heard the song :P

[@quinnmasters8775]

I've always wondered why this song is so similar to Fly

[@Anetron1]

@Sunny D it's not just tuned down, it's played in the minor key as opposed to the major key of Fly.

[@DarkGriffon898]

Masterpiece. As Fly.

[@kylekatarn5964]

Well this is certainly different lol. I absolutely love how the guitar sounds on this version, it is a lit brighter in the mix than in Fly.

[@재호김-p9j]

One day, there will be a time when the home is equipped with a hero-like computer ghost security system that completely destroys the reality of evil spirits that unexpectedly emerge indoors !!

[@GetAnotherShrink]

It's a kind of reference to that song, but listen closely and you'll hear the atmosphere is totally different :>

[@dunkelgelb7744]

Listen to Traveler in Time enough, you end up in a legit parallel dimension, and hear this

[@rticante]

The most impressive thing is that these lyrics were completely freestyle, as Hansi himself said in this Q&A on reddit (www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/2uvpxn/comment/coc7u2e)

[@TheDeadNut]

3:52 OH FUUUUUUUUUCK IT SOUNDS SO FUCKING GREAT

[@MirandaAzazel666]

You're a smart cookie. :) But yeah, that does explain the difference. Thanks. :D

[@Sazalamel1]

@llamacarlito thanks, that sounds awesome xD

[@prawtism]

Anyone knows why this track is not on Spotify?

[@joao2271]

Its a bonus track

[@pop5_]

Also it's Not on Deezer :(

[@prawtism]

@@joao2271 pain. Best track on the album imo

[@FallenWhiteSaber]

This might be good to analyse, was thinking of using some sort of variable bgm schtick

[@Ziyaduzza]

you're right, the intro is better than Fly's...but Fly after 2 minutes is just so much better xD at least thats my opinion :D

[@champFichtnerBourne]

@Hazlett5551 yeah me too. The sound in both is epic, but the lyrics from "Fly" is more inspiring I think =)

[@caralhotuk]

@ir0nsquire Its the darkest version!

[@Guardianoftheblind11]

This isn't just similar to fly. This is a remix of fly. And very on-purpose, it's a bonus track lol BG can do whatever the hell they want for bonus tracks

[@ir0nsquire]

@caralhotuk lol i agree there but it always seems to me that they never want to repeat their same patterns...or was this done on purpose?

[@abyssalnights6409]

Hydra Dominatus...

[@elennarin]

Absolutely love this song and prefer it to Fly.

[@capt_zo]

2 people did not ignore the cries of the sirens LOL

[@_BlazingRush]

God damn it I love this one much more than Fly.

[@ManDeathMagnetic]

@MaxGoldhand no, they are similar but it's other song. For me better is Dead Sound of Misery.

[@kormskanner]

It's meant to be an alternate version of Fly... Not that BG are slacking.

[@svabicurda]

1:51 sounds like he says : Yes I'm on bird I'm exploring Badlands the time is right to move furthermore XD

[@ir0nsquire]

K, this is exactly like Fly.... 0_0

[@Stritex1]

it sounds like an anti-fly song

[@eslwgpg1226]

Better than Fly. Wish this they’d play this one live

[@daviddiazreyes8283]

No se si es verdad esto que me ha sucedido del pie,o es mentira, o es que os habeis hecho oidos sordos,¿y ya veremos no?. En realidad no se quien ha sido, si ha sido el de la ortopedia o que pasa por pedro por mi casa,o no se.

[@SuperDanisama]

misma cancion distinta letra

[@defnist47]

Very similiar to Fly into.

[@caim4611]

bring down Paris!

[@madcat789]

This sounds a lot like Fly.

[@androidparapc7733]

is basically the same song, but in another tuning and with other lyrics

[@jardlex007]

es muy parecida a fly ._."

[@guardianofstupid]

lol

[@PS3Fan487]

Man, I dunno I feel like this coulda been a looot better for being an anti to Fly. The rhythm of the lyrics isn't much in unison with the music as I've familiarized with most BG tracks

[@MetalSEGAKid1990]

this is the same song as fly WTF?

[@Hazlett5551]

i personally likke Fly better

[@ashrasmun1]

Horrible song. Reused melodies and lyrics that are just badly sung.

[@PBandas]

"Reused melodies" There is a reason they are reused.
