Awesome! Thanx for this song, amazing!!! (Alissa with the blue wig looks like Kate Perry) ^^

This album is going to be massive

[@pathhapp]

I love how Charlotte's band is, essentially, everybody who used to be in Delain. Lovely people all, glad to see them all still making music together.

[@RammmFan]

Charlotte is force of nature. and alissa is perfect duet

[@tamy7718]

Sim, elas combinam muito bem!

[@richardwinchester2418]

She’s harmonizing with the growl!!!!

[@Ghoztring]

How is it possible that none of the songs on this album are bad or even ‘fillers’? Each one is so original and unique. This is probably going to be the biggest album in the genre this year. No one is releasing such a cohesive collection where every single track is pure GOLD.

[@joelgaliciaramirez8356]

Thinking the same... Can't wait for the whole album. Charlotte's making such incredible job 🤘

[@BrunaAlvezBhertola-hz9mk]

Oh boy... ❤ this video reminds me of the classics from the 90s on MTV. The sonority sounds like grunge with gothic metal. This is pure talent. Congratulations Charlotte.

[@maanvis81]

I just love those riffs by Timo Somers!

[@DesertRainReads]

Beyond glad to see Charlotte is still making music after leaving Delain and this sounds like a heavier take on what they produce. Not to mention her voice is so on point. Goodness, this is awesome. I look forward to checking out more.

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

You blend very well together. Like Floor and Irene you look and sound like sisters. You always succeed in finding unsuspected melodies taking us on a journey. This really is going to be a fantastic album. It will blend well with my interior 😊

[@juanplopes]

The way the lyrics adapt Ode to the West Wind is simply fantastic. I've never seen a poem fit so well in a song like this. I just can't stop listening to this.

This entire experience from the Patreon preview with Alissa and the Beastlings yesterday to today’s KZbin premiere has been wonderful. Love the song & video and truly appreciate the effort Alissa put in to traveling to make the video with Charlotte & the band. The dresses are gorgeous and the icky ooze looks perfectly putrid 😳 Great job to all involved!

[@markymark8008]

Incredible!❤ The Obsession will be my obsession Album of the year😎

[@rbsanta2024]

absolutely stunning visuals cant wait for the album to release

[@unregisteredforall]

The main theme seems to revolve around the relationship with nature and the cycles of life, inspired by the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The voices combine a melancholic beauty with a visceral force. It is a pleasure to see Alissa White-Gluz make new gestures and also Charlotte, who since her video "The Exorcism" continues to increase them. Congratulations. THE BAD: Showing the guttural singing that Charlotte can achieve makes many of us here hope to see more of those gutturals in her next videos.

[@TheHenningway]

I can not come over how brilliant the keychanges are in this song and on the whole album. @Charlotte: You won a new lifetime-fan....this ist therapy to me, although I needed none...superb 💖💞

[@avsilnedrass]

LYRICS On whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion Loose clouds, like earth's decaying leaves are shed Shook from the tangled boughs of heaven and ocean Angels rain and of lightning: There are spread On the bluest of surface of thine aëry surge Oh, hear the black rain, and fire and hail will burst Panting like the waves, the flowers I'll be trembling at your powers Lift me like a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed Someone much like you Wild west wind breath of Autumns being Oh, from whose unseen presence, the leaves are dead Fleeing like ghosts from an enchanter, black and red Yellow and pale onto their dark and wintry bed Lift me like a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed Uncontrollable Drive my words over the universe Scatter from an unextinguished hearth Like ashes and like sparks Spirit and thoughts Uncontrollable Uncontrollable O, Wind, if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? O, Wind, If Winter, when the blizzard comes, can Spring be far behind? Winged seeds where they lie, cold and low Like a corpse in its grave until spring will blow Her clarion over the dreaming earth below Lift me like a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed Someone much like you Drive my words over the universe Scatter from an unextinguished hearth Like ashes and like sparks Spirit and thoughts Uncontrollable Uncontrollable

[@wolfeknighthawke4949]

All Hail these awesome singers and awesome tune and video. GREAT JOB LADIES!!!!!!!!!! Also song so true. More need to know what going on.

[@pheumann86]

What. The. F***!? 😮 Every song I've heard from your solo album so far is exceptionally "great" (as if that could cover it). I've been a metal head for more than 25 years now and I'm used to albums being two songs I love, one song I find annoying and the rest is between fine and pretty good. But with this album I find for one thing that no song is like the other, though there's a consistency of the best elements. And yet everyone of them is so great I keep listening to them on single repeat litteraly for days. I've very rarely had a whole album speak to me that deeply on a healthy emotional level as well as artistically. To me this is a truly exceptional masterpiece. You, Charlotte, are an extremely talented artist and a great, lovable person (loved your post about Lizzo btw. or rather about the hate you had to witness towards her in your post)! Thank you for letting us partake in this journey of yours ❤

[@brontiq]

Charlotte is serving us gold with every new song. And collabs we never knew we needed. Simply awesome 🖤🖤🖤

[@Hizkia_33]

Yes, another collab this year! Now we need Alissa to release a solo album with her and Simone and in the mix, and the circle will be complete, haha. Anyway, I'm so happy they ended up making this. It's so detailed and filled with great meaning. I believe it relates to pollution. With Alissa's calm expression, while displaying her rough vocals, it seems like it represents a two-sided feeling to that matter, while Charlotte represents innocent nature. There are those who do the polluting, and this part shows the ones who see harm being done, but do nothing to lessen it, and just take it is comes. That's my interpretation, though. I have to read the lyrics too see more. But yeah, that was quite enjoyable.

[@pavolridrich3434]

@@Noregrets281 😂 I used to listen to Manowar almost only, then Nightwish, then my one of the top Iced Earth and then it started... Power metal was and still is my most favourite but I have no problem with something interesting, like for example Behemoth or Dimmu Borgir or even Carach Angren 😂 but I need melody and some changes in album, I cant listen to bands that play death metal from start to finish whole album the same. But if it is like Amon Amart.. hell yeah . But maybe you dont know some of these, which I really love Rough Silk, (very interesting and I mean very, try Lucifer's Hotel) Walk in Darkness (try road to Babylon or Mists of Time), Demon and Wizards (you probably know this, iced earth and blind guardian together), Vicious Crusade, Pain of Salvation, Dark at Dawn, Rebellion, or even great musical Clive Owen and Oliver Wakeman Hound of Baskerville, I love this And my one of the best "composers" is Snowy Shaw, I really love everything from him, Mad Architect , both albums are simple masterpieces, his solo White is new Black is 10/10 for me, or his other projects Pagliachi opera, Opera Diabolicus etc... snowy is for me the musical hero :D Or very interesting band Two Steps From Hell , album Neon Nights, is really not metal but its great... Absolutely great is as well The Experiment No.Q , 3 albums trilogy and breathtaking... Rare exception from Italy 😂 Celesty (shame they broke up already) Amadeu Awad (2 great albums, he is called Arjen of East, kinda Arabic Ayreon) I can keep going 😂 but I dont want to bother you ... But maybe you will find something you will like. If you know something good, please let me know, something that is really not "common" ... Btw I cant stand Sabaton. .they are good, but 15 years, each song the same 😂
