Therion - Summer Night City [Better Quality]

I'm uploading it in HQ soon by the way, stay tuned.
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
In the sun I feel like sleeping
I can't take it for too long
My impatience slowly creeping
Up my spine and growing strong
I know what's waiting there for me
Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
Lots to take and lots to give
Time to breath and time to live
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city
It's elusive
Call it glitter
Somehow something turns me on
Some folks only see the litter
We don't miss them when they're gone
I love the feeling in the air
My kind of people everywhere
When the night comes with the action
I just know it's time to go
Can't resist the strange attraction
From that giant dynamo
And tomorrow
When it's dawning
And the first birds start to sing
In the pale light of the morning
Nothing's worth remembering
It's a dream
It's out of reach
Scattered driftwood on the beach
Waiting for the sunrise
Soul dancing in the dark
Summer night city
Walking in the moonlight
Love-making in a park
Summer night city

Judging from the number of Swedish metal groups doing covers of ABBA songs, Swedes must be massively proud of them. This video is absolute gold! The portrayal of such ancient times (I don’t know what era this is) with the train journey etc is just mindblowing and comfortable to watch. The most amusing aspect of it is seeing the old men at the beginning singing along to the chorus. I never appreciated Therion until now since I enjoy epic symphonic metal more than ever today.

This originally appeared (I believe) on an album of heavy metal tributes to ABBA, with all different bands doing different ABBA songs. Most were kinda bland, some seemed more like parodies.This one -- THIS ONE -- not just the best on the album, one of their own best ever, and no matter what you might think of ABBA, better than ABBA's original. And this video just makes it so spectacularly surrealistic and spooky. Just a brilliant piece of work.

[@vhalkyrion]

El otro día estaba platicando con unos amigos y surgió la pregunta: "¿Alguna vez has escuchado un cover que esté mejor que la versión original?", después de analizarlo y debatirlo llegamos a la conclusión de que "un cover mejor que el original" es demasiado subjetivo ¿Cómo defines eso? ¿Qué lo hace ser mejor? ¿El artista, el género, en qué año salió? ¿Que te guste más a ti la hace ser mejor? La pregunta se replanteó y quedó: "¿Alguna vez has escuchado un cover que te guste más que la versión original?" Y ahí ya podemos responder...definitivamente este tema entra en esa categoría.

[@armandogarciaromero]

El cover tiene más elementos que son : coros ,y los vocalistas son más expresivos la música es más inspiradora y muestra que ahí la iniciativa de crear algo conocido es convertirlo en una obra maestra.

[@mariagotica8569]

ME GUSTA QUE EL COVER TENGA ELEMENTOS DIFERENTES AL TEMA ORIGINAL,OTRA PERSPECTIVA. OTRAS VECES ES IGUAL AL ORIGINAL,PERO LA INTERPRETACION ES MEJOR QUE EL ORIGINAL,YA QUE ALGUNOS MUSICOS SON BUENOS CREATIVAMENTE Y OTROS INTERPRETATIVAMENTE. NO POR NADA,MOZART SUENA "DIFERENTE" EN CADA ORQUESTA,A PESAR DE EJECUTAR LA MISMA PARTITURA

@@mariagotica8569 Leyendo tu comentario sobre interpretaciones de covers parecidas a la original pero con la escencia del artista que hace el cover me viene a la mente la versión de "In the heat of the night" que hizo To/Die/For, esa también para mi es un 10 de 10.

[@pennyrobinson9772]

Yeah this song and this video are both just stunning. The effect is quite surrealistic and subtly creepy. Ya know what I just noticed, is that a WOLF under the piano at the 4 minute mark?!? Know what else is weird, I first found this ages ago, probably off of Napster or one of those early file-sharing services, and it never played in anything but regular 4:3 aspect, so along with everything else weird about it, I was also seeing it all scrunched up! I just figured that was part of the intended effect! It was only a couple of years ago I fiddled with the ratio on my VLC player and realized Oh maybe it IS supposed to look normal after all! Another fun fact -- this was a song on an album "A Metal Tribute to ABBA", with a number of songs covered by different metal bands. I may be wrong, but this is almost the only one that doesn't sound like it's more of a parody -- well maybe that's too strong a term --- maybe "hipster ironic" or "tongue-in-cheek"'. Also, and I know this is subjective, also let me state that I DO like ABBA! -- I think this is the only song on that album which -- dare I say it? -- BETTER than the original.

[@LoudnessJP]

That metal tribute record should be done again but with metal musicians that actually puts in the effort to make the heavy metal cover worthwhile, making it their own just like Therion does in a brilliant way in this video. Most metal musicians love ABBA so i don't know how they could release such a sacriligous

[@desaturated-firefox]

@@LoudnessJP Might be a sign of the times, my impression is that the tolerance in the metal scene for unironically liking pop music has grown a lot. Used to be that most metal covers of pop were done more to say "This song sucks bc it's pop, but it could be good if it were metal!" Nowadays Amberian Dawn can make an ABBA tribute album.
