[@Sloimer]

By the end of this song you feel like you’re soaring above the skyscrapers.

[@Paincakes]

That's true. Also thanks for commenting, I loved your performance in Ghostbusters.

[@Sloimer]

@@Paincakes you got it - I’m literally a ghost so naturally I enjoy this band. I do try to fraternize with humans on occasion.

[@virgil5650]

@@Sloimer Haven't stopped by my house ya bastard!

[@Lazarus_Cardinalis]

Fadeouts can be lazy, but to me it seems like when Ghost uses one, it's for narrative purposes, in this case humanity searching for divinity with its advanced technology, and the search goes on and on, never getting closure

[@Paincakes]

Well said. I eventually came to that realization as well.

[@patrickmcduffie679]

It's also the last song on side A of the vinyl. Both Watcher and Respite fade out because they're the end of their specific side.

[@TECfan1]

Does Respite have a narrative reason? Maybe fading empires?

[@Lazarus_Cardinalis]

Yeah, the fall kf enpires, sprinkled wirh Jack the Ripper references, and I guess a lot of themes regarding nortality in general

[@Sloimer]

I thought the same thing.

[@jcossio7]

The guitar solo is a masterpiece!

[@bryanbrzezowski9951]

Pela is an amazing guitarist. The members of Ghost are supposed to be anonymous, but I know who he is. I’ve met him before and after shows and he is so friggin cool.

[@tims6141]

Your reaction was just exactly how mine was. It got better as it went on. Tobias is a self professed “control freak”….but he may also be a genius!

[@Paincakes]

Everything is so meticulously crafted for optimized head banging and the excitement keeps building and building, he must be insane.

[@lenbowers9780]

This band is unreal. so good,

[@Paincakes]

It’s like a gift for rock music fans.

[@eduardogreco4423]

It’s the best thing rock/metal music delivered in the last 15 to 20 years, it’s almost surreal how fakkin awesome this band is!!

[@juliemathias7509]

Second only to Maiden right now IMO.

[@JK-ld8cd]

@@eduardogreco4423 i feel the same way, how are they not huge?

[@MrScoreCrave]

The instrumentals in this song are mind blowing - I love it

[@klee350z]

This song is going to slap hard live! Can't wait for them to tour this album in the states!

[@CarlosBehrens3D]

Just imagine thousands of people screaming "Searchlights!". That's gotta be mind blowing for sure

[@kuromyou7969]

OMFS YES!

[@Hans_Lex]

Eh, very predictable and simple arena rock track. Nothing special here. Very repetitive and predictable. This is no ritual, cirice or Square Hammer. Even a Rats.

[@klee350z]

@@Hans_Lex yet here you are listening to it.

[@MuFaSaMoSi]

I'd pay a small fortune just to hear the solo live, best song in the album imo

[@huambo]

This is one of the best 80's songs ever written in the 2020's. Love it. It's also got a real Faith No More vibe going on.

[@juliegogola4647]

When you play some of the best songs by Ghost quite LOUDLY, and also when you see them play LIVE, it's almost like when you got strapped into that rollercoaster when you were young and ended having a blast.

[@HeathenRocker]

This band is f**king mind blowing.

[@GGibby]

I'm so glad you heard the Dream Theater vocal and riff/guitar influence. I thought I was going crazy when nobody else I mentioned it to could hear it!

[@majorfomo7895]

The fadeout on this song, for me, was perfect as it felt like I was listening to vinyl in the '80's.

[@PNW-Twelve]

These were the first reactions I watched when the album first came out and they are still the best.

[@Paincakes]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@GeekFurious]

If this song doesn't put a smile on your face then it's a you-problem.

[@catarinasantos8941]

Love seeing your reaction videos...it's so awesome to see the smile and excitement of clearly a true fan...this is exactly how enthusiastic I am about Ghost. This one went straight to my Top 3 of the album. I love it sooooo much, it's epic...I can imagine the crowd going wild over this live. 80's prog glam with a modern twist...Ghost keeps getting better and better with each album 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Paincakes]

Thank you for the kind words! I agree, this song is going to be pure insanity when performed live. Foot stomping, fists in the air, crowd chanting madness!

[@nahailyenvanakkor]

Yes, that part you're loving just makes me happy. It elevates the song to a whole another level.

[@morriemariani9646]

Absolute banger of a song...wouldn't change a thing. Fade out is done for a reason

[@sndrbrwr]

I love your Ghost reviews man, your reaction and face expression are priceless, had exactly the same with this song! Such a fantastic trip to the 80’s. Impera is wonderful.

[@lunareclipse00]

The song sounded exactly how I wished it would especially with the chorus and solos🖤🤩🤘🏻 But his vocals in the last verse before outro tho😱

[@Paincakes]

Me: The perfect song doesn’t exist. Tobias: Hold my beer.

[@ernestoreveres8780]

One of my favorite song so far from the whole album , I’m still hesitate a little bit if buy it or not the vinyl version album … but I will only because of this song , the riffs , the sound , the vocals the lyrics. Everything in this song is pure perfection . Remains me a little bit of a soundtrack from those 80s science fiction movies from John carpenter . I think Tobias is not so bad after all . I listen this song over and over again is so good . This song has a lot influence from bands like : quiet riot , Dokken , skid row , Ratt , great white, Motley Crue , and Europe . I think Tobias not only create a terrific song but also he create a authentic masterpiece that will last from many , many years . So saying this : Watcher in the sky is a wonderful heavy song from The Whole band . I love it

[@Paincakes]

I agree 100%, it’s a beautifully executed modern tribute to 80s glam rock.

[@AgentLemmon]

Even if you are sort lukewarm on the music, you should buy this album for the artwork and art booklet alone

[@wallywest2360]

I got it on vinyl and it's great. Whoever he got to produce the records did an awesome job, one of the better sounding records I've heard in a while. This will vary some of course but mine has very few pops and clicks, it sounds almost CD like in terms of how clean it is. And yeah, the booklet that comes with it is nice.

[@ernestoreveres8780]

@@wallywest2360 I just recently got my copy of the impera album vinyl version on target and it’s one of the best artwork I’ve ever seen in a long time , it comes whit a poster of ghost artwork and the art book , I’ve have a lot vinyl records but ghost always surprised me whit their artwork and covers absolutely blast .

[@AgentLemmon]

@@wallywest2360 Don't know his name, but it's produced by the same guy who did Meliora. You are right though. It sounds great.

[@AndyCrimson]

I'm happy you liked this one! Upon first listen, I was hooked on this one. It's a great track IMO

[@Paincakes]

This song is perfection 🙌

[@InvUnk]

as of right now this is my favorite track off this album it reminds me of so much great glam metal meets something like Fates Warning the depth and layering in some of the tracks is amazing

[@newbiexo]

Can't wait to see this one live. Along with "Spillways" an early fav on a brilliant album.

[@melovemusic69]

Dude once again you reacted the same damn way I did. It's an amazing 80's style which I was a teenager throughout most of the 80's so yes , up the 80's. Literally banged my head back and forth and beat my music chair to the beat. Love it. It's a great album. Didn't care for the song after Watcher in the Sky.

[@Paincakes]

🤘🤘

[@jayt717]

80’s glam is where my ❤️ lies. 🙌🏻

[@helzapoppin9810]

Absolutely my favorite track of the new album.

[@PNW-Twelve]

When you said "this is perfect! It just get better and better!". I really felt that 😂

[@Paincakes]

lol right? haha

[@virtisconsole12]

First time I heard WITS I was blown away - very much 80's influenced and Prog at the same time, Tobias is really a guy that grew up listening to classic metal, can hear a lot of influences in his music. All of this stuff is heavy and yet melodic which makes it so good., the guitar in this song is dirty and the harmony lead is so good almost maiden'esq bass line is right there and the song just has great punch to it - it needs to be cranked... Spillways is just as good - another great album

[@CarlosBehrens3D]

Loved the video man, I had the same reaction when I heard the guitar solo haha. It's just amazing how the guitar starts, then another guitar and the bass, that moment is perfect. Super 80s vibe

[@Paincakes]

I can’t handle it lol

[@PNW-Twelve]

I still play this song in my car, sound up, windows down, while at stop lights in busy Portland traffic. Because everyone needs to hear it lol.

[@bobbyo5358]

The intro…. GOD DAMN!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@Darthbrandon81]

The part of the song “communication is key”, reminds me of a part of the queensryche song “jet city woman”. So awesome!

[@boatboattmmrp9950]

The bass in this album just fits so well

[@methoz777]

this whole album is soooo good!!!

[@Paincakes]

For real tho

[@JohnnyF71]

Spot on with the Dokken reference. Also reminded me a bit of Vinnie Vincent's Invasion, if you remember them?! Proper 80s hair metal revival on this one! Not sure what's wrong with fadeouts tbh...if the song demands it, don't fight it! Anyway, this is the standout track of the whole album for me...sensational from start to faded-out finish!

[@Paincakes]

The fadeout fits the song's theme. As a musician it triggers me because if I want along with the song I can't fade out with it haha

[@JohnnyF71]

@@Paincakes 😂 I hear ya dude! I play a game with fadeout endings when I'm playing along...it's called 'guess the live ending'...Just keep on playing until you reach the point where you think it'll end when then do it live and play how YOU think it will (or should) end! It's fun 😊

[@reneelivingston7366]

I know this is over played… but I cannot get enough of this song!!!!!!!!!!!! I blew a speaker damn it!

Never heard of this song but I’m listening to it now. Very cool, thanks for sharing!

[@gunnar368]

They released the wrong tracks as singles. They should be "Watcher in the Sky", "Spillways" (I love it), "Imperium/Kaisarion", "Respite on the Spitalfields" and "Griftwood" (that piano breakdown, come on) as well. "Call me Little Sunshine" is a great track but maybe not as a single (and not with that video). "Darkness at the Heart of my Love" is also single material if you ask me. So basically all the tracks except for what they released. : )

[@kuromyou7969]

I'm not sure they always get a choice in that. Might be what the label wanted.

[@gunnar368]
