ELUVEITIE - A Rose For Epona

[@masterkline]

I never heard folk metal sound so good. These guys nailed it.

[@red_rogue73]

Yes, they did.

[@IamDavven]

First time I've heard this band & song and I can't stop replaying it over and over.

[@ketogone4004]

Same here .

[@laurafxhd3522]

i too ^-^

[@yaboi663]

yes, me too ;)

[@marawhite3626]

Omf same 😁😁👌👌

Is it possible to hear a song in two days over and over again without getting bored? I'd say: YES IT IS ! ! !

[@ArcKing01]

When I hear this song, It actually carries that emotion to it that makes me want to cry. Not a lot of songs that do that

[@jedrekantkiewicz]

I don't know if I should feel this, but I'm proud of Eluveitie. They've developed their style almost to perfection. I love it. This song is a masterpiece goddammit!!!

[@brencaseresdiaz7415]

Do you feel the thorns? Do you see the tears? Do you see the blood shed in this fell war? Have you forsaken us? Have you forgotten our faithful men calling your name? While I stand before you While we perish While I lay down a crimson rose While holding hands Are forced apart While hopes bog like condemned men Were you there? The sky is falling on me As your hand's turning old and weak I'm giving myself up to thee A futile sacrifice gone sere In your nemeton These grey stone walls Are cold and silent As the fallen Mother gone deaf Mistress of shattered hopes And forever broken dreams Were you there? The sky is falling on me As your hand's turning old and weak I'm giving myself up to thee A futile sacrifice gone sere Epo, epo why hast thou forsaken me? Together we go unsung Into thy hand I commend my spirit Together we go down with our people Were you there? Were you there? The sky is falling on me As your hand's turning old and weak I'm giving myself up to thee A futile sacrifice gone sere Falling on me...

[@ragingsaviorkami9862]

​@@jankthunder4012 It does sound a bit broken, but when you go through the lyrics once, you can perfectly make out the words.

[@jimbo80982]

Every single time this song gives me goosebumps

[@MJMWF3]

I love this song!!! This voice ... unbelievable!!! Great!!! Awesooooome!!!

[@Eyrothath]

I don't understand why people are complaining, Eluveitie is known for playing slower, they aren't just metal, they play acoustic as well and it's natural for them I imagine to do different stuff and keep the traditional folk stuff in their music like this song here, they haven't sold out, they've grown, they are still a very new band actually and have come out with quite a few albums in such a short time, each one is a masterpiece..

[@JustinGotham-w3k]

Wait, people are? Bastards.

[@davidcalles605]

This is one of those songs that you hear for the first time and you know it will be a great song since first second of hearing it Esta es una de esas canciones que esuchas por primera vez y a los primeros segundos sabes que sera una gran cancion

[@felicia8086]

incredible vocal and amazing band. this is going of be one of my list of favorite band.

[@Almarea92]

I was at the Eluveitie and friends concert in Switzerland... When they played this song, my friend and I just stood there, singing along and nearly crying. That's just amazing!

[@embelmed]

Neta q hay veces q siento ENLOQUECER entre escalofrios que recorren mi espalda cuando escucho las melodias suaves de esta banda. ABSOLUTAMENTE GEANIALES, HIPNOTIZANTES!!!

[@brokencydeGirl100]

I wish they would make more songs like that.

[@thegreatSalu]

listen to 'call of the mountain'

[@ihansn777]

There is no form of plagiarism in any of there songs if any of you have ever read their stuff or listened to there descriptions of the music they use a lot of Celtic music that is centuries old and that has been passed down through time they just make it sound bad ass, and they use a lot of really interesting ancient historical writings and poems as well. So I'd just like to say thank you Eluvetie for the super kick ass history lessons and creating incredible music!

[@Aliamento]

I love Eluveite for this song - everytimes, they manage it, to write for a beautiful song also wonderful lyrics with a realistic background. I love it.

[@亚诺-d5h]

2021 y jamás superare esta obra de ARTE!!!!

[@tahiarahman2524]

It's 2022 buddy

[@TheodoraRon]

The lyrics of this song send a shiver down to my spine...... so epic.......My love to Eluveitie from Greece!

[@noemi_cajal]

She's such an amazing voice *-*

[@blackkakari]

She is not a voice.

[@noemi_cajal]

blackkakari She HAS (She´s) such an amazing voice ¬¬

[@SilverMoon459]

nole93092 LOL

[@blackkakari]

***** No. >: {

[@SilverMoon459]

***** Hey, Are you sure?

[@egilloli12]

eluveitie are soooo awesome i first heard them from a girl that i know from swiss and i cant stop loving this band

[@WinterSun90]

Anna's voice is just so special! I'd love to have another one of her scream (see Quoth the Raven) in the upcoming album!

[@BiOToCeL]

Cant find a word to describe what I felt listening to that incredible Song. This song is simply awesome....thanks for that! thanks a thousand times!

[@evanbelli3960]

First time listening to Eluveitie rolling. Favorite band ever. Even more sick than before. 4 life!

[@Ando33]

I will never understand why people will listen to garbage like Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber over this, that shit takes no talent. Anna has an amazing and powerful voice and Eluveitie has makes music that actually has meaning to it.

[@Ando33]

+Rachael Tomlinson Taylor Swift can fuck off.

[@losingmymind611]

+GruffyMann I'll never understand why people can't comment on a video they like without feeling the need to fill that comment with negativity about other artists, instead of positivity about the band they are enjoying.

[@Ando33]

losingmymind611 all other artists can fuck off m8

[@losingmymind611]

I hope you become a happier person some say.

[@cyrusardyn]

+GruffyMann Why listen to emotionless techno beats when you can hear synchronized guitars and drums and get the same amount of hype and dance value. If not more.

[@iceskater1]

I'm completely obsessed with this song! I must have listened to it a million times now. :)

[@lucasmargain4933]

En un mot: génial

[@jcrawler5424]

Still love this song after so many years😮‍💨

[@piotrchmiel2317]

I want extended edition of first 23 seconds :(

[@zZxPur3xFigg]

Red Games try looking for celtic music, listen adrian von ziegler, you'll spend weeks listening this kind of music ;)

[@gwarfiend9717]

Celtic folk music is what you are looking for.

[@ScyonNeon]

This song legitimately has me hypnotized.... Cannot... stop... listening.....

[@oldguyrips535]

Princess Zelda's appointed knight, Link, would like to speak with you 🤣 All kidding aside, this is an excellent song 😍

[@Rapterr15]

Wow. this is the first time I've heard this band and this song was great. I'm checking out Slania and so far so good. I always love stumbling upon something new.

[@ravenzaphara5513]

Someone told me this song was about link's horse from Loz... and it didn't make sense to me. Thank you, youtube comments, for teaching me that Epona was a Gaulish goddess of horses (and other domesticated animals?).

[@rainbowfuzz9574]

I had the exact same problem

[@charlesmclaughy3400]

+rainbowfuzz links horse in LoZ is named epona

[@VolaraNyghte]

+Charles Mclaughy true but this song isn't based upon LoZ. For main commentor: Epona is also the protector of donkeys and mules (anything of the horse family) and the Goddess of fertility

[@Bricta]

Raven Zaphara, She's the goddess of fertility.

[@isaiahstevens-old-8587]

Raven Zaphara epona from zelda was named after the goddess said by Nintendo

[@brysonfreeze]

I literally cried once I understood everything. Amazingly Beautiful, there's nothing more you can say. The whole historic quality and beauty of vocals mix perfectly in this sublime song. 3

[@camiromano3975]

Curti muito bom !

[@KecingeR47]

ai no

[@RhewBleiddiad]

Her voice is awesome and really se has worked a lot with her voice and she has many vocal capabilites!

[@Kubuluno]

Reminds me of the Witcher songs.

[@phoxius]

[@Kubuluno]

+phoxiuz hmm, k

[@metalkiller1995]

I just saw them live yesterday in quebec, they were just amazing! And they played that song! And after they played, while children of bodoms played i saw the singer and i talked to him!!! :D

[@baileychasteen8466]

Epona as in the horse from Legend of Zelda?

[@DarthMilotic]

Epona as in the celtic goddess.

[@baileychasteen8466]

Kevin Larsen oh, that would make more sense.....

[@Aegl1n]

LOL hahahaha xD

[@andreifrancisco3850]

Epona is actualy the celtic and roman godess of horses

[@baileychasteen8466]

Andrei Francisco still involves a horse lmao

[@CrowGigantor48]

Ever since I first heard of this band from my brother... I drowned in the beauty of their songwriting.

[@rosemoore786]

I think of Metropolice by Blood Stain Child, anyone?

[@ninjaviking4073]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Rv3TRIPS]

I didn't really enjoy BSC but I still enjoy the vibe they give off so I don't mind this comment lmfao. Enjoy bro rock it out.

[@elrzulffio1]

omg, this is the best possible birthday gift, thank you guys!

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

Do any other Eluveitie songs have as much female vocal presence as this one?

[@TheTH3SS]

EpsilonX call of the mountains

[@moraes95]

Omnos, Alesia..

[@orvallossenberger6141]

Slania's song

[@slaykanat]

[@Creepzza]

As I've said in a previous song by them, they just get better and better. Thank you, Eluveitie

[@hichannd5190]

Horsie?

[@baileychasteen8466]

I thought the same thing at first lol.

[@hatebreeder141]

I just fell in love with this voice...

[@julianowak4731]

kocham

[@ATKDat123]

Amazing!!! The catchiest song I've ever heard from Eluveitie!

[@Lianoth]

"Release USA/ world February 28, 2012." So is the USA an alien planet? It seems to not be a part of the world.

[@Sycamori]

Album releases often have different release dates in different regions of the world. They're just saying that it releases everywhere on the same day.

[@SheetFiber]

usually, USA needs to be specifically mentioned to make it clear it's the center of the civilization. don't take it seriously lol

[@Lazzie_the_Psilocybe_Deity]

SheetFiber4488 I hate my countrymen for the fact that are so greedy and wasteful. It is not the law of the land. Gaea is not happy

[@Mustekalan]

Not to mention one HELL of a voice, and the talent to use it

[@Noxes13]

Accidently "covers" like the intro from BSC can happen, when the melodies are as simple as this. I talked with the songwriter. He stated that it is neither stolen from BSC nor a cover of any folk song. He didn't know about BSC until the question's about the intro popped up on the internet.

[@JoseCom11]

What does Bsc means?

[@Noxes13]

Blood Stain Child. Search for Metropolice and listen to the intro.

[@teratoma.]

lmao bullshit

[@Noxes13]

Yeah, your comment indeed is bullshit.

[@teratoma.]

You aren't that bright, aren't you? He's lying and you're a gullible idiot if you believe him. This is an obvious ripoff and thinking or believing anything else is dumb as fuck. I still like the song, but I won't deny the obvious facts.

[@mmlink]

Listening to this song over and over again :)

[@MTLNCK52]

Love this song! It's the first time I heard it! Great song!

[@Nightrise24]

Wow great song Eluveitie just gets better and better!!!

[@bondbruno]

Yesterday... in Belo Horizonte, Brazil... Anna make me shiver with this song. Beautiful, incredible and AWESOME. Thanks, Eluveitie.

[@gokukevind]

Saw these guys yesterday in Toronto they played this song. They also play Inis Mona the crowed went crazy when it came on.

[@TheArmyofHades]

the instrumental part of the song is simply perfect

[@reversemyopia]

How come this beautiful song doesn't have 1 Billion + views??❤️

[@1stonewall]

Quite possibly my favorite Eluveitie song already!

[@HeathenCrusade]

Amazing song! USA needs more bands like them....

[@marklowerson2581]

Anna's voice is amazing, but that man has lungs of pure GOLD!

[@dethdactyl7687]

I remember my first concert... this band came on, they started playing Rose For Epona, everyone was moshing during the first verse... her voice during the chorus was so powerful, even the most brutal of all metal heads stopped moshing, and of course I had to rush home to change my pants after the concert. \m/

[@leaderOFlosers]

Great song... FANTASTIC vocals!

[@DominusVoide]

When i saw them live for the first time in Feb they played this song it was great

[@hyyjij]

When I saw 10 years ago, that hit me right in the feelings

[@Untha1]

I really love this band and of course this wonderfull song THANK'S A LOT ELUVEITIE!!!

[@767Prototype]

This is the best Folk Band

[@jerre437]

First reaction; i've never heard a better song (just a feeling at this moment). Eluveitie will hit charts with this! its sooo catchy!

[@CuriousOnlookers]

Fucking exquisite. The combination of pretty vocals, delicate folk and a little bit of a djent/tech death tone almost never happens, but it's one of the most beautiful things I've heard.

[@Skitad]

Definitively one of the very best songs ever !

[@ThatGuyFrom84]

This has a very beautiful, haunting melody to it. Thank goodness I get to see them live Feb. 3rd. I look forward to it!

[@hexenmeister5163]

Esta cancion la escucho una y otra vez y la sensacion al oirla es la misma. Me encanta !!

[@justsomepaladin9847]

I love these vocals, the highs are just so good 👍

[@guynaiman]

That's one great song indeed... really touches me in the chorus... "The sky's falling on me...", excactly my feeling nowadays...

[@skatethemovement]

By far my favorite song of all time.

[@saoirsejensen8223]

oh my god... Eluveitie needs to tour in America... love them so much

[@chrissveeofficial]

Unbelievable track! One which really opens up human nature and clears Your mind!

[@Tiborka666]

Her voice is just stunning!...Eluveitie rullz the folk metal industry!

[@Vaan40Productions]

[@WhoaMadFrolic]

At first I didn't care for this video. With each listen it gets exponentially better. Can't wait to see y'all in Charolette this Saturday!

[@SGRev1]

Coverkillernation reviewed the upcoming Eluveitie album, and not having heard of this band, I decided to check them out. I've already heard a few tracks, and so far, they're really good! A Rose for Epona is my favorite song of 2012 so far! Can't wait to hear the whole album when it comes out.

[@JonarudoSaiga]

I LOVE YOU!! since 2007!!

[@devilpanic]

@DruidoftheBlackSun I'm Celtic and I absolutely adore this song.

[@Thereover17]

Only a goddess could produce this Voice

[@TheYoufuckingfuck]

I found a reply to this question from Chrigel Glanzmann on the forum on the official eluveitie webpage. He said, that it's not copied from this Blood Stain Child song neither a traditional tune. It's just a simple melody which he composed and it sounds similiar to Metropolice randomly.

[@SuperMetroid555]

Amazing and Beautiful Folk Metal Balad Amazing Work guys

[@masterofpuppets717]

This song is beautiful, I'm nearly crying.
