Reaction to and Analysis of Majestica's "Ghost of Marley"

[@rosswhite5975]

The album is phenomenal. So clever how its written. You will love it. In case you dont realise, Tommy is also in Sabaton but Majestica is 'his project' in that he writes the majority of it and also sings, plays guitar and keys etc.

Great thing about this album is that all band members have a lead vocal role playing characters from the book ( along with some guests). Chris is a fantastic vocalist and so is the new guitarist Petter Hjerpe (he replaced Alex Oriz who had to leave the band because of a bad burn injury to his hand)

In Tommy's cover of Gary Moore's Murder in the sky, Chris joins him and amazes with his strong vocals.

This has to be my favorite cover so far. Chris and Tommy just sound so great together.

[@suzybailey5501]

Now that's what you call a mashup of songs 🤯! I smiled all the way through, I only really have one word, BRILLIANT!

[@mariapettersson4583]

The whole album is wonderful! Would be nice if you also reacted to "Ghost of Christmas past” and ”The joy of Christmas” both of which have music videos 😀

[@FamousGirlfriend]

I agree!

[@rogervikstrom2005]

Love your analysis of songs 👍 Can’t wait for Ghost of Christmas past, my favorite from the album, also shows Tommy’s drawing skills.

[@Jasper_Tree]

Yay! I’ve been very much looking forward to your reaction to Majestica! I really appreciated your analysis of this David, there’s so much going on in the video and the music so it was awesome to have you pull it apart and highlight some of it 🙂

YESSS, YESS, you certainly need the Mmajestica album in your life. Best Christmas album.ever. Chris Davidsson is an excellent vocalist and basist. He has done several duets with Tommy on Tommys covers as well.. Chris has his own band beside his work with Majestica, called Wizdoom. They share the same sense of humour. The artwork is done by Tommy himself. He is an accomplished artist besides his musicianship. There is an official video for most of the tracks of the album, not all. One is an animated video by Tommy. On the channel of the Majestica there is a calendar of the Christmas Carol. Every opening of the calendar is a short BTS of the production. When they released th album they had a kind of musical theatre stage prformance. You can see them try out wardrobe and rehearse. Go for the extended version of the album, extra songs. Tommy has.kept close to the Dickens lyric in his arrangments. For a New Years Treat, check out Tommy and Majestica in Father Time. You need to draw up the lyrics. They sing pretty fast there, but the song will give you a hearty laugh. Tommy is 1.95 cm appr 6"5.

NThere are 2 musical themes recurring among the carols you might be unfamliar with. Swedish Carol Midnatt råder/ At Midnight Tkzbin.info/www/bejne/g2SYlaeDmtegg7csi=mxDJBqVshZyz1AdO Felix Mendelsohn Military March nr 1 op 51 which Disney more or less nicked for one of their Silly Symphonies; Santas Workshop from 1932. This cartoon has been sent on Christmas Eve television every year since 1959. All living Swedes immideately thinks Christmas hearing it. It pops up in Ghost of Marley and other places And I'm fond of Muppets Christmas Carol.

PPS The red/white guitar you see hear, together with the white he use in She's Gone are the 2 Gary Moore handbuilt replicas a friend made him. He recently aquired a. true original from Gary thst he uses in his covers of Gary Moore Murder In the Skies, where he once more joins up whit Chris David..

The artwork on the album cover is made by Madeleine Andersson.

[@suwall]

Lovley reaction!🎉

[@rianavermeulen4316]

Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤ Tommy ❤❤❤

[@carinapersson5539]

Absolutely super reaction and analyze! Will love follow you enjoying the rest of this glorious album! 🎩👻

You will have ache in the face from all of that smiling 😂 Great reaction/analysis as always. Here is a playlist with all videos for the extended version of the album it is one of my absolute favourite albums of all times. It is genius. kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_mR_Yd-1xbAGhLOQQYBwfSIRTQHDMemTb4&si=clrDTQK8fAeX18dv So please please do more of these. Make sure to buy the extended album. They have a making of advent calendar on their own channel answering some of your questions and the last video from the album has a full credit.

[@nikk0666]

Tommy Johansson doesn’t do anything by half. Even his home made videos are top notch. He was born to be a musician and master vocalist.

[@CapriUni]

Thank you for your analysis. There's so much going on, I think I'd be overwhelmed just watching it cold. (Also, go give yourself a present and reread the original novel. There's a reason Dickens is credited with single-handedly reviving the celebration of Christmas as we know it today; Back in 1848, Scrooge was in the *majority* opinion among people in government and business. That changed when Dickens' novella became a hit)

[@marita.n6125]

The album is a masterpiece! ✨🔥

[@finnmccool2851]

Oh PLEASE... who cares what time of year it is, just continue on with this. I can't imagine anyone complaining! Besides, I can't wait a whole year to hear your thoughts on the rest of the album. So interesting, you pull out so many things that I would have never noticed so thank you! Love it! Happy New Year! 🎆🎉

Amazing Majestica and Tommy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nikk0666]

Would love to hear your breakdown of Tommy’s version of Phantom of the Opera.

[@merryrose6788]

Tommy wrote this "A Christmas Carol." One of the best films is the version with Alister Sim, 1951. Majestica's is icing on the cake:) Many people celebrate Christmas till Feb. 2, Candlemas, the traditional season during the Old English Christmas court. So, your timing is great!

Great reaction again David. Majestica has more than these Christmas songs, which I really love, and one great is their kind of a tribute to Helloween. On this song they also featured Uli Kusch (former Helloween drummer). Just watch and enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6WcfpRnjMRjras
