Video directed by Dennis Andersson and David Andersson.
GHOSTS
Take this roof away from me.
I’m staying here till something picks me up.
Call the boy we used to see running wild until he had to stop.
Ghosts were rising high in the air.
They’ve been hiding for so long.
All these frightened eyes you have spared.
They’ve been scared all along.
Take this sertraline relief.
I’m down but I have fled the enemy.
Shake some prosperous belief.
We’ll steer towards its immortality.
Boy, believe me.
Boy, believe me.

[@carlosenriquesierra9044]

Discovering VOLA was one of the best things that happened to me during the lockdowns.

[@volaband]

We are happy to heat that Carlos:)

[@dirtpipedan]

I discovered my body

[@juliuswaxman3758]

Same. I watched one of Adam's playthroughs on Meinl's channel, checked out the band, and been a fan since. So many unexpected and downright weird combinations of sounds and genres that almost seem like they shouldn't work, but somehow they do. It's something special to be able to write a song that's both heavy and pretty.

[@VictorNaine]

I agree 100%!! And it's still in ̶V̶O̶L̶A̶ vogue.

[@deniznarin]

Me too

[@ajb-drums]

This album is a like a masters course in progressive minimalism.

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Well said!

[@gomaaren]

This is such a contrast to Smartfriend, makes me really excited because that means I have no idea what to expect from the rest of the album!

[@moran_riv]

A beautiful contrast between Vola´s classic sounds and Ghosts. This makes me feel excited about the new album.

[@gardhul]

Same feeling here... Now can't really wait!

[@quietri0t]

Exactly what I thought. People complaining about the song being so straight Forward Need to hear the full record before judging :).

[@lemankurtz8950]

That is Versatility. I almost wrecked my jeep when I first heard "we are thin air" 😨

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

I'm going to guess that the album stood up to your expectations. It exceeded mine, I can't stop listening!

[@renatoalberico4102]

Spotify brought me here I was listening leprous and suddenly this song started. Beautiful,just what i was needing.

[@duanebonney]

Same thing happened to me!

[@Kcirdehd]

Leprous is sick as well!

[@stri8ted]

Shia Labeouf is killing it on the drums

[@zekidpaddle1739]

Just Drum It !!!

[@sergioprasca8850]

Hahahahahahahahahaha i thought the same hahahahahahahaha.

[@CliffConway]

haha i laughed so hard at this

[@AndersHunter]

Из актёра в музыканта... "во уважаю браток" XD

[@MikusLorencs]

Also Theon Greyjoy on bass

[@increase8849]

You guys will have a genre named after you. Seriously unique.

[@Joshdvrx]

Cerebral brain blankets ... um core Love this album. I've been thinking about how to describe it myself

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

The core of the appeal of Vola to me as a Composer is that they draw from what worked before and combine it with what works now in a perfectly balanced formula. They know when it's time to focus on melody and when it's time to amp up the complexity level. I only know of one other band that accomplishes that to a significant degree and they're another of my favorite bands: The Contortionist.

[@marting4941]

Umm Karnivool? Lol.. there's a new band from UK called Wheel aswell. Just to add a few more amazingly hektic bands to your playlists 😀✌

[@badradish2116]

i vote we call this blanketcore. or volesque.

[@beatlejuice-me9me]

cosmic metal?

[@elBanananas]

This song is the definition of good vibes

[@1halfface]

This is The best song i have listened to for a long time,Beautiful Synth,complicated drums,great vokal and The chorus is so good Greatings from Norway

[@volaband]

Glad to hear you like it:)

[@Yakkers]

I don't know what it is, but this song makes me feel something I haven't felt in an incredibly long time. Much love from the US! I hope you guys can make it here someday.

[@volaband]

Very glad to hear that! I hope we make it there too:) All the best, Nicolai, VOLA.

[@VinAnrba]

Like a sense of peace and relief?

[@makeupmakeupmakeup7471]

They're such a good band. They have some upcoming US dates soon in a few places. They'll be in NY on November 22nd. I'm hoping to catch them, hope you can too!

[@Yakkers]

@@makeupmakeupmakeup7471 Yes! I'm going to the Boston one!

[@markcampbell2491]

I can't describe the feelings triggered from this song. Happiness, nostalgia elation. Vola is incredible, can't wait to see you live in the UK

[@KaNe1493]

I'm gonna be honest. When I first heard the intro I wasn't convinced. Coming straight after Smartfriend this had me worried but as the song progressed the more it grew on me. I'm loving the vocal melody in the chorus and the synths. I'm digging this sound for the new album but it's probably safe to say with Smartfriend that the new album will have its heavy songs too along with a few more surprises!

[@indigodsm8429]

That chorus is phonetic magics. Wonderful

[@LeeGion_981]

This should be a massive hit, like radio play hit. So catchy and uplifting.

[@armanjilpas4997]

Extremely underrated band. These guys are amazing.

[@Altrucent]

Definitely different from Smartfriend, but I totally dig this!

[@niclepage]

Golden chorus

[@Ben19888]

Just watch this music video and after this the one from These Black Claws. I love the huge contrast between the two!

[@xspartan346x]

This sounds like a Katatonia song with synths. i love it.

[@emptycloud2774]

Oh, you absolutely nailed it. I was thinking Wilson. But, I was thinking of Katatonia!

[@Matt-ku4pu]

Yeah I always thought these guys had that Katatonia-esque sound! It’s great!

[@aureliomoreira3860]

sounds like a djent katatonia

[@Quinceps]

You love things that sound like others?😅

[@etsat1]

This song is one great song.

[@flowerforvase]

I wasn't this much excited over a band like this since forever... I'm in love, really. Thank you so much for making this kind of masterpiece, please never stop! You're awesome! Love from Brazil 💕

[@eltonsantana2019]

Uma fã br de VOLA! Eles merecem um reconhecimento maior.

[@tadjioliveira1351]

@@eltonsantana2019 eles precisam vir pra cá, tem fã clube oculto aqui 🤣

[@baileydicus7716]

Gotta love melodic songs from heavy bands!

[@danielvazquez7889]

Vola is one of those bands ever present in my playlists. This song Is just awesome.

[@VictorNaine]

Hard to explain how I fell in love with this band 1,5y ago.

[@user-pq6ju1yc6v]

Amazing song!! ... greatings from Italy

[@volaband]

Thank you Amitrano!

[@wimcalleeuw8098]

I was told to check out VOLA during a concert of SOEN in Tampere, Finland. I keep coming back to their music, it's prog metal with a magic twist. Love it!

[@dag221]

Easily the best band I've run across in the last five years. Heavy yet melodic with great hooks and songs. Looking forward to more music in the coming years !

[@annihilationb.6488]

I’m addicted to that song!

[@Opeth12341]

What a song! My son's been singing it non-stop!

[@satanthedevil3674]

Mr. Krabbs *Yes I was wondering if you can play that song again. The one that goes boop boop bop boop boop bop?*

[@MarkGonz123]

This had me dying of laughter

[@lachezaryordanov6874]

Discovering you, guys, relatively soon I have found this piece of perfection to be the best uplifting song, I've been experiencing for a while.

[@savxxslavomir3079]

Masterpiece. Melody? And why not. There's never been a shortage of that here, and that's lucky.

[@memberwhen22]

Idk what it is about VOLA but everything about this group resonate with parts of me, unlike others that just make music I enjoy.

[@michaelmaage]

I love this song too... What a great and underappreciated band!

[@anasouza2787]

A friend presented me to this band last month, and since then I've been in love and completely hooked. I listen when I wake up, during the day, and when I go to sleep. Thank you for the masterpiece there created. Don't be long in coming to Brazil

[@volaband]

💙

[@freymay682]

I loved so much this song!!! It is so beautiful! It was amazing to discovered you guys!!

[@Reakerboy]

How many times have I listened to this song? I've lost count 🤣 Amazing, we need you guys to come to the UK in 2022.

[@tntanto2]

Har næsten lige fundet jer og jeg elsker jeres musik❤

[@karnivool1000]

I've been following since monsters and I have to say..... this song hits me deep. It describes how most people really are on the inside but are too afraid to share how they feel kind of like a ghost. It's sad, but in a good way. I love you vola, keep being real

[@oonst011]

Found these guys on Spotify while searching for more Prog. Blimey, brilliant. This one, Napalm, Alien Shivers, Inside Your Fur. A real keeper.

[@Cellenium125]

the drummers beat in the verse is sicccckkk. A+ to that man

[@zampha2065]

Coming to see you guys in manchester next week. I'm remembering my dear friend who passed away at the end of August. We used to go and watch metal bands together, so it'll be me and a ghost on our final date. I can't think of a better band to celebrate with.

[@father042]

That synth riff is ridiculously catchy

[@quietri0t]

So good and the bass-sound differs from the Warwicks and fits perfectly

[@FusionHowie]

I'm so thankful the algorithm gods sent me to Vola! Amazing Band ! I didn't want the song to end... It took Porcupine tree many years to reach notoriety, I hope Vola gets the exposure it so deserves! I just purchased tickets, they are coming to the Detroit area! I am telling everyone I know! Peace from Detroit MI.

[@harryrammer]

Rocking it on Ainsdale beach! Watch out for stray golf balls lads🏌DUCK!!

[@kotecalder8180]

The keys are beautiful in this song, lots of really gorgeous layers

[@videoformeandyou]

Love this song... Love VOLA... Love their musical world... Listen to VOLA is happiness... Hope to see them soon high in charts... Thanks guys for your music

You know how there are Bands that create music wich makes you feel ok and soft and loved. Ya. Your that Kind of Band. Heard you first on summer breeze. I Was actually asleep but for some reason woke up and heard Ruby Pool. It Was like angles singing. It Was pure magic. I tracked the Song and wow. All of your Songs are absolutly amazing. Keep going!

[@shadifakhouri]

I love it, when you can enjoy each and every instrument! Drums are nice ! Bass is amazing ! Vocals are awesome! Love you guys

[@einaren5262]

It's nice to see Theon Greyjoy playing the bass

[@dianapiticari1711]

Posada Rock 2024!! 5 years had passed since I discovered and saw you for the first time and I'm even more in love with your music than I was before. I have to admit that in these 5 years your work became better and better, releasing banger after banger! Keep going!! So honored to see you again! Hope you return soon! ❤

Vola has that feels good vibe

[@volaband]

We try:)

[@kierman]

This album is gonna have variety! Can't wait!

[@juliagriffiths8550]

Saw this band at Liverpool Grand Central Hall supporting Anathema last night. Opened with this song. Only had 30min slot and were great.

Thanks Julia! We're coming back to the UK in September:) Hope to see you there! All the best, Nicolai, VOLA.

Amazing dynamics on drums. Loving it

[@freezingmoon5663]

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the band of 2018. They rocked my year, and the new album is just what I needed

[@DerrickSchneider]

Total 80s vibe. Love it

[@drummerblade]

I could see this song being "the one" to finally blow them up worldwide. It's short, easily digestible, and catchy, which means it could be played on pretty much any radio station. I hear stuff played on U.S. stations that is similar to this but most of it is simplistic crap. I would LOVE for this song to make VOLA a hit in America, because then they could get the funding to actually play here.

[@matthewroberts890]

I cannot stop listening to this song. The entire album is sublime, but this song in particular is perfect. There's something about the atmosphere that reminds me of Minus The Bear or Explosions in the Sky and their ability to generate an entire mood just off just tone and melody.

[@marionunes86]

The intro got me thinking this wasn't really my cup of tea then after 3 or 4 spins on the album i have this song completely stuck in my head. And i gotta say i love it.

[@shaunbukhuth4410]

[@NM-dx6zw]

I was in denmark july 2019 and this album was the soundtrack of that trip. saw some beaches like that in the video. especially one nice beach near Skaelskör in Sjaelland. Inmazes also a masterpiece. after this shituation i'd love to see and hear you in helsinki. Oh, and bring your fellow danes anubis gate with you please! cheers.

Simply stunning, guys!!! Inmazes was my personal album of the year and looks like you’re making it again!

Love your sound, hopefully will see you live one day! ❤️

Note to self and with utmost respect to both bands, I can hear the verse in Icon from Panther album, I guess Gildenlow got inspired by Vola, or it's just a happy coincidence.
