STEVE HACKETT - Love Song To A Vampire (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@nelsonsoucasaux2751]

Along a 44 years amazing career, since Genesis "Nursery Cryme" ( 1971 ), Steve Hackett has been, undoubtedly, one the best guitarists in the world, both on the electric and acoustic work, as well as great composer in many different kinds of music. Eternally highly inspired and with lots of wonderful ideas, he also remains the personification of the true spirit of Genesis in the 70's. What else to say about a great genius ? Steve, many thanks for 44 years of wonderful music and guitar playing !

[@chuckseventys6648]

Nelson Soucasaux Right on the $$$ Nelson!

[@nicktidik7673]

Nelson Soucasaux Amen

[@elegiac1701]

Could not agree with you more Nelson - he has carried the torch.

[@Rucky888]

"Steve Hackett, Suppers Ready, Todmobile" search and enjoy

[@juanjoviadero9760]

Amen

[@metalbearuk]

I've been into rock music since 1976 and I don't know how it's happened, but I've never heard a Steve Hackett track before until I was guided to 'Wolflight' as a KZbin recommendation. My jaw literally dropped when I heard that track, bought the album then heard this.Talk about blown away. Have now ordered his back catalogue and got a ticket to see him later in the year. It's great to be excited about music again.

[@troublesomecorsair]

metalbearuk You got tons of music to catch up on. Voyage of the Acolyte, Defector, Spectral Mornings, Guitar Noir, Darktown, and Beyond the Shrouded Horizons are some of Steve's masterpiece albums. Hope you enjoy the show!

[@riclevine5983]

You are about to embark on a WONDERFUL journey!! You WILL enjoy it!!

[@katemurphy1915]

metaldaduk I recommend Spectral Mornings: the title track specifically.

[@frankpetermann9366]

I hear him and Genesis since i was 15 and started to play guitar serious and he was and is a great influence for me.

[@MrJeremy9835]

@metalbearuk i am the same as you but discovered only in 2020/2021

[@Beticovnz1]

Please never stop creating these masterpieces! Wolflight is amazing, I hope we can have more Hackett songs for many years to come.

[@juanjoviadero9760]

¡¡¡Ojalá!!! I wish that!!!

[@juanjesusviaderoandres6910]

It's hard to find in these days any composer/musician like Mr Steve Hackett. Top quality music. Thanks a lot, sir.

[@paulrreed5235]

The genius that is Steve Hacket!!!

[@ladyblackstardust390]

I'm happy to hear Steve singing. I love the tembre of his voice. It was several decades ago I enjoyed dinner and an evening of discussion with him through a mutual friend. The resonance is still in my mind's ear. It's the same way I gravitate to the unique tone quality of Steve's guitar work. Some have it, and some don't! Provocative song on classic themes of life, death, love and longing. Way to go Steve.

[@stevehodkin7408]

This is a song all about getting caught up in a relationship with a narcissist. A vampire that sucks away your spirit or soul rather than your blood. Excellent work as always from Steve Hackett.

[@sylvieferland3317]

[@pauljpboers2497]

Steve, Amanda and other contributors: PHENOMENAL

[@charlesnolan7602]

I purchased STEVE HACKETT, "WOLFLIGHT," within days of it's release, April, 2015. The first potential song of the album for me was track #5 "Corcyican Fire." In May, 2015, I purchased a concert ticket to see STEVE and his great band, play the ACHOLYTE to WOLFLIGHT tour at the Scottish Rites Auditorium, Collingswood, NJ. Over the summer, WOLFLIGHT continue to grow in appreciation for me. In October, 2015, I got a call from a Prog friend- "a famous Prog guitar artist and his band needs a driver for 2 days to drive from Wilmington- Lynn Massachusetts, and then back to the Keswick, theatre, Nov 18-20th....you, available?!" Yeah, who is it?! Ha-ha...yeah, wow! So your driver to the stars, drove the STEVE HACKETT band, and, one WOLFLIGHT concert turned into 5 shows in 6 nights, and the HIGHLIGHT of the set EACH night was, "Love Song to a Vampire!"

[@grenadre682]

wow

[@grenadre682]

wow

[@grenadre682]

wow

[@DanthraX2112]

fuck u I hate you! in a good way lol

[@Rucky888]

Please go onto Reddit and write a full page about this. What a treat!

[@Audioholics]

Steve Hackett put on his best live performances in years this weekend. I really enjoyed his solo stuff and especially old Genesis. What a great guy and musician!

[@ShamanartsFlorida]

+Audioholics indeed he did, I saw him on Friday night at the Capitol Theater in Clearwater,.....with his Mom in attendance...

[@Audioholics]

Yep I was at the same show! Went to Franks Pizza afterwards. Small world :)

[@matthewharper8933]

Between this one and the title track, I'm completely sold! Great stuff!

[@fm6ct]

Another great sounding album for Steve.

[@stevenlornie1261]

That end riff was a nice kick. Great song, got me sold!

[@EM-fd8xe]

I had the great fortune of meeting Steve Hackett a few years ago. He is a lovely wonderful gentleman. I told him I love this song and the video too.

[@khandrum]

Best music to come out from the past to present the genius of Sir Hackett

[@LucicPower]

Has he really been knighted?

[@paper-art59]

Beautiful song! The refrain reminds me In the Court of the Crimson King

[@gabrielbailleux]

Yes, you're right. It's my favourite song of Steve, with shadow of the hierophant.

[@asammler]

Bit of "Layla" at 4:42

[@javierf55]

This is a clear reason of why Steve Hackett has Andres Segovia as one of his biggest influences. Great peace of pure finest art

[@rexcowan9209]

I might have expected Hackett to have faded a bit but his technique is on top of his game. Maestro performance.

[@Quasibabe1]

Influences, yes. Equal? No.

[@davshaw5]

Not many people who can make music like this.....anymore.

[@virgolasette]

Ma quanto è geniale quest'uomo?

[@volodymyrvsahdneek5065]

I love how Steve can go from classical guitar to soaring electric seamlessly and make it work. I agree, I heard the "In the Court of the Krimson King" influence here, but that's OK, its an awesome tune to use as an influence ! I am glad there are still some artists who are creating in what we use to call the art rock / classical rock vein, although some call it progressive rock. So true also about some relationships being essentially vampiristic ! Wonderfully involved composition. He is also one of the only players that is so skilled at both classical and electric guitars and is so tasteful with both, and possesses the most haunting vibrato ever !

[@frankpetermann9366]

Genesis has a picture on the wall from"in the court of the crimson king" in the rehearsal room because they want sound like K.C..

[@juanjoviadero9760]

Genio de genios, compositor entre los más grandes. Thank you mister Steve for your work. If you want to be transported to another time and place, no doubt you need to hear him play. La mayor de las reverencias y el mayor de los respetos a este gran hombre.

[@ewa-z]

This music is poetry. Great story, expressed in sound.

[@highinfidelity72]

Another great video! I'm very glad that Steve's new album Wolflight is getting all the attention it deserves: it's a masterpiece indeed! I can't wait for the forthcoming tour!

[@stevesmith3990]

It took me a while to get into this album, not sure at first. Now I think its one of Steve's best for years, great video too.

[@LaughingCadaverFilms]

Superb....He and Peter Gabriel should do one more album together !!

[@chuckseventys6648]

***** They should and could.

[@cheloveker]

For goodness sake, never. Gabriel is fucking pop-musician, theatre on two legs, Hackett is musical genius. For instance, Phil Collins is musical genius too even if he is pop-musician.

[@pechugaslarou3433]

@@cheloveker Boy, get a brain, please.

[@pechugaslarou3433]

@Efe Cosmico Sledghammer is a hommage to the rhytm & Blues Gabriel love, not exactly 'a pop song'... And if it was... what a masterful pop song is!!

[@BassGoBomb]

@Efe Cosmico I think, possibly NOT .. or has a narrow viw of music' .. What Peter did was 'popular' not necessarily pop .. and, like Bowie, he furthered 'pop' out of all recognition .. It's not 'Puppet on a string' huh!!?? I'd add Family Snapshot to that .. The shooting of Kennedy in narrative form, in a song, from the shooters perspective ... clearly a 'pop' sensibility..lol

[@DeVipressZephoria]

Been learning a lot about Progressive rock. My love for John Wetton (Asia, King Crimson, UK), lead me to Mr. Hackett...oh, my. This is why Progressive is my favorite genre...my God. Beautiful and crazy....just like I like it!

[@gwensciora8516]

if you like this .. you may want to join my facebook page and listen to my radio show on jan 16.. Steve Hackett and Lorelei McBroom preview his new album.. show honoring the life of John Wettton on Jan 30th wusb.fm NY - WAXX TRAXX TO THE MAXX.

[@tillywitch6]

I dont know what to write....this takes my breath away......

[@williammunney5618]

Thought I would find you here..your taste in music is like you….divine

[@anastasiapedersen1]

Same effect. It knocks the air out of me

[@gabrielbailleux]

Il n'y a pas de mot assez fort pour qualifier cette pépite. Magnifique, génial ne suffiraient pas. Steve, vous êtes vraiment un génie et le meilleur guitariste de tous les temps.

[@perryfairman1278]

One of the best pieces of music I have ever heard. Completely entranced by this song (on many levels) from an album I ordered, mainly because I already liked Steve Hackett's work and because the late great Chris Squire played bass on this track. The album, Wolflight I had never heard a single track from (like several of my albums), but a choice I will certainly never regret, absolutely awesome track, as is the whole album.

[@mikeymaff8074]

a masterpiece of a song

[@defleplady]

seeing this music live....GOOSEBUMPS!! UNBLELIEVABLY STUNNING...MUST SEE!

[@MrAdamSears]

The chorus reminds me of "In the Court of the Crimson King" with all those "Ahhhhs". But I like it.

[@Zestyclose-Big3127]

it actually reminds me more of Genesis' Seven Stones

[@edamix3184]

What the f*...

[@mikeymaff8074]

extremely so.

[@guatopo1985]

Genesis was a lot influenced by King Crimson...

[@robertoravasi1050]

bello

[@arcoflight]

Wonderful song, great artist, glad he is still creating and crafting...

[@batphink2655]

Beautiful song like SO many Steve has but I didn't know he could sing this well ,he has a very soothing voice!

[@Marctull66]

My favourite piece from this album. Magnificent. Impossible to be played live on stage in this arrangement, I guess, but nevermind. Finally, Steve does some long tracks and he's found the inspiration to make them great.

[@avivintagestereo6005]

Amazing!!! BRAVO MR HACKETT!!!

[@lynnpacione-holman4161]

This song....just so AWESOME. So wonderful to hear Steve playing so well (and even singing decently on this one). :D

[@zulzappa9125]

. . am beginning to get hooked to this eerie song

[@MrFritzinger]

This song and how Steve sings it reminds me of Renaissance's beautiful song Kindness At The End, sung by Jon Camp!

[@naturamorevita]

Grazie di cuore Steve Hackett, bellissima e colma di emozioni profonde, completa di grande tecnica nel suo insieme armonico indissolubile, stupenda

[@VerticeAlto]

Cosa ti piace di più dei Genesis? Fa piacere vedere qui qualche Italiano!

[@stevetobin7495]

i had no idea this guy was this good...wow, and his new album is superb

[@drevilrodrigues]

WOW 3 on 3, today become to knew 3 artists to start following, brilliant

[@arasob1]

You came to me at a dark hour in time Your lips tasted so sublime You drink in my hopes, my bleeding heart You promised me a brand new start You told me I wasn't born 'til we met My life before a distant regret You said that my friends were no good for me You claimed only you could set me free Each time you enslave me To your deepest desire Once again I sing a love song to a vampire You demanded my undying devotion Took over all my emotions But you were away for many a night Secretly living another life I searched for a real love, I ran away And found a warm place to stay But I heard your cries, your anger, your lies A flash of your eyes pulled me back inside Each time you enslave me To your deepest desire Once again I sing a love song to a vampire Weaker and colder each time I retuned Desperate to please I never learned The door was unlocked but my heart was in jail Caught in the web of your spell I must finally stake my claim Re-take my own life once again Set me free, let me breathe I'll shed the sunlight on your deceit Each time you enslave me To your deepest desire

[@juanjoviadero9760]

arasob1 thank you!!

[@juanjoseviaderorivas5998]

Many thanks

[@1968arthur]

Incredible song

[@mattparkman]

This song makes me happy for so reason.

[@FryskFS]

Stille love Hackett's work!

[@wayulooktonige]

Fangtastic! Steve has returned with another classic. Made sure I voted this for prog anthem of the year. Do I get a 'look alike' point for Tony Banks appearing at 4.45?! Perish the thought . . .

[@ksjoyjespeace]

I saw Tony too !!!!!

[@dougmccowen]

Very nice. Steve as always the guitar work is great. Great to hear you sing more, I like your voice fits with the music and Amanda well what can you say another great talent, beautiful voice. I very much liked the video too. I have your signed album just waiting for the right time to sit back and listen to it, watch and hearing the video make me want to play it now but must get sleep work comes early tomorrow morning. Thanks, Doug

[@icyou4344]

Douglas McCowen Amanda always performs wonderfully. Steve gets lots of love, but the talented artists he works with are amazing, too.

[@jamesoncreek]

Basses and choirs from Chris Squier RIP.

[@icyou4344]

Rodrigo Mendieta Amanda Lehmann, Jo Hackett's sister sings backup. If Chris Squire is singing, it must be very quiet, although his bass is far back in the mix.

[@antster1983]

Chris Squire is only credited as playing bass guitar on the album sleeve.

[@amarok5048]

Amanda Lehman, yes

[@TheIndibush]

His last recording..

[@j.juroska8638]

Krásná skladba - Hacketta sleduji skoro 50 let! Vždy vynikající, poctivý.

[@jurek.r7521]

Absolutely Amazing!!!

[@fabiodolci847]

This is one of the most beautiful and haunting song ever written...drama, amgst and extreme beauty all blended together....anyway i guess Mr.Hackett has a secret fetish for the 1st album of King Crimson,,,listen to the chorus and then say it back

What finishes many fine artists is they run out of ideas. Steve is the reverse. Still musically fresh and inventive.... Usually 4/5 goosebumps moments per cd
