Just imagine thousands of Ghouls and Ghoulettes singing in unison, *"SEARCHLIGHTS! LOOKING FOR THE WATCHER IN THE SKY!"* This song is meant to be sung live. Hands down, the best song from Impera. Thank you for another modern classic, Tobias Forge and co.
My top 5 songs from Impera: - Watcher in the Sky - Kaisarion - Griftwood - Spillways - Call Me Little Sunshine I'd love to know what are your Top 5 that made your ass wobbled and tickled your taint, fellow Ghouls/Ghoulettes. 🤘😈 nemA!
my ass shivered when he sung FOR THE LIGHT OF OUR SAVIOR, HIS MACHIAVELLIAN GRAAACE AND IN THE SHEEN OF HIS SPLENDOOR THERES A BETTER PLAAAAAACE holy crap te quiero mucho tobias
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST SINGLE. This song captured ghost’s evolving sound while maintaining the roots that we all fell in loved with. Nonetheless, Impera is incredible! 💀
THIS without even reading the comments, I see most people get it! ghost brings back 80s catchy, with interesting melodic guitar. catchy as fuck. nobody does it like this anymore! It baffles me, id rather listen to this than the same nirvana power cord radio rock.
It has some really good songs on here for real, but I think Prequel flowed together better for some reason. Some of these songs seems to be written far aprt. They are all great though!!
This is Hysteria for the 2020's. Every song a potential hit, an album you have to hear front-to-back. Killer guitars in the extended outro, this was absolutely amazing live.
So far none of the songs from the album appeal to me... I'll hold off buying it, but I'm afraid Ghost shifterd too much from "what I like" into "what sells to a broader audience".
*This song is the pinnacle of this new album, it have everything we didn't expect, from amazing eerie riffs, to the beautiful various ranges of vocals, Tobias never disappoints*
Honestly when the track listing was revealed a few months ago I felt like this would be the best song on the album, and it sounds pretty much exactly like what I thought it would. I assumed it would be essentially Ghosts take on Wheel in the Sky by Journey, but heavier. Very Impressed with this one
I completely agree! Production quality is also beyond this world. I'm blowing up the neighbourhood rocking to these outstanding tunes from my northern neigbours!
I love all aspects of Ghost but the bass has always been my favorite part, especially on the Infestissumam album (the album that introduced me to them in 2013.) That tone is so good!
Agreed. They did get a great tone on the bass. Overdriven and heavy AF. Although I wish it was more present in the Twenties song. To me, the lack of bass in that tune makes kind of thin sounding.
The thing about their records is that the songs are very catchy and after hearing them they get stuck in your head all day....hopefully the same thing happens with this record!!
Despite the gloomy imagenery, the satanic lyrics, the sinister costumes, Ghost actually music is so uplifitng and happy, makes more contemporary stuff sound depressing. Bad mood is gone away and I want to get drunk in a bar singing this chorus.
@@GaryGoRound-to7ld I've had the pleasure of seeing them twice now live. The whole show is a massive party. Square Hammer as a closer leaves no one sitting down. Everyone is up and dancing. Awesome energy in the crowd.
Ghost concerts are like a party and Tobias is known for comparing the shows to an orgy, which is why the energy for the music is high. I went to my first ghost ritual last month and it was incredible energy!
Fell in love with this song even more when it was finally added to their setlist. It was such a spectacle to witness live. And the lightshow just made it even better.
This is definitely one of my most favorite songs in this album. It has a sort of metal steampunk feel to it; super catchy and infectious. Rock on Ghost!
So Tobias and his Ghouls main goal is to revive the 80's Rock Metal soul. And its coolest attempt for that genre in this decade. This album is real masterpiece.
This is INCREDIBLE. The song writing skills on the new album are master class. I like how Tobias flexes some vocal muscle right in the right places. This album should 100% win at least one Grammy.
You know that feeling when you listen to an iconic classic album for the first time? This gives me that same feeling and that’s probably the best compliment I could possibly give an album.
3:37 Massive Spirit of the radio vibes. Like Rush, Tobias gets them all. From Metalhead to ProgRock fan... Kids need the old magic of a huge stadium production especially in these fucked up times. Back to the good old days when rockbands were heroes.
Absolute favorite track from Impera. Sounds like a cros between Triumph and something off of Ozzy's No Rest For The Wicked album. This is exactly what mainstream music has needed for at least 25 yrs.
Lots of nods to Van Halen and Def Leppard on the album I feel, and the choruses are blatantly singable and designed for arena rockers. Did not disappoint in concert
First album is GREAT! When they released the single Year Zero I thought "they cannot match this". Not only did they "match this" but they fucking obliterated it with Square Hammer. I thought "theyll never match this!" Not only did they match this but they fuckin blew it up with Rats and I nearly died. Then they do 7 Inches and i fully die. Resurrecting me is this masterpiece and I dont know what to expect.
@@novustalks7525 i can agree with this. For me they have a good song every now and then but nothing like their past albums. They dont make much hard music anymore i.e Year Zero/Cirice/Rats
Remember the superlong stream before the release of Hunter's Moon? There was a looping gif of some city and the searhlights. Guess they were looking for the watcher in the sky
This song is so good. I love that ghost constantly explores and questions the authority of the church and religion with thought provoking lyrics and insanely addicting riffs.
Not to sound like a musical nerd but after the solo when the chorus goes to G instead of C, you realize Tobias has written one of THE classic rock anthems of our time. Picture 60,000 people in an arena and singing this while the stage search lights go crazy! I think I just ca.... never mind.😆
These kind of details make a great song... I noticed that also.. it gives more emphasis and make the ending more epic! that kind of arrangements were common in the 80´s hard rock... hands down!
I tell you, Ghost is going for stadiums. This song and full album is a masterpiece. The songs cannot get out of my head. Tobias said he want to be as big as Rammstein - i think it's very soon.
There’s a reason Papa IV was revealed in Mexico! Watching the live concerts there you guys really have a lot of energy and hype! But so does reno Nevada 😎
After the first 2 beautifully crafted and strange albums, they reached the top with “Meliora”. “Prequelle” wasn’t the album i felt it could have been with all the drama with ex members at the time probably contributing to that. BUT this, here my friends; is Ghost reaching for the highest of the high, and actually getting there. This is greatness!!!
@@zemocon2868 I can appreciate that people could be of that opinion. It's just as valid as mine. Just for conversations sake, I think that "Meliora" was the first time Tobias's vision of the perfectly crafted Ghost album was as close to being realised as he originally envisioned. "Prequelle" I felt, while brilliant in parts (and I actually enjoy it more in hindsight now that "Impera" is out) I feel was a clouded and affected work. IMO it didn't have the same sense of being captured and taken to another realm, or on a journey that "Meliora" and now, "Impera" has. "Prequelle's" highs were as high, but not as often. The twists and turns were there, but less surprising/more predictable. The album is really good, I can enjoy it now, where I couldn't before for awhile. It felt like one big missed opportunity. Thats where what was going on around the band at the time IMO creeped in and affected the work it became, a flawed masterpiece. I find "Impera", to me, the album"Prequelle" could of been under a different set of circumstances. "Impera" captures everything that was great about "Meliora", expands upon it musically and conceptually, then exceeds expectations in every way. I have followed Ghost from the beginning and will until the end, regardless of where it goes. Bands like this are rare and I'm on for the ride for all the highs and lows.
Tobias for this album and Prequelle is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. That stream last night was epic....people complained for only 4 songs, could of had nothing
Best song on the album hands down, reminds me of an 80s action montage. Incredibly catchy with a great riff. Honestly think this is one of the best songs they've ever written
This sounds like it’s straight out of the late 1970’s. Ghost is absolutely amazing! Impera sounds like the love child of Meliora & Prequelle. It’s only one day old and it’s already an absolute classic! #IfYouHaveGhostYouHaveEverything #Impera
Tobias mentioned he was aiming for that killer Def Leppard production and songwriting and I can actually hear that now, not aping them but shooting for Hysteria level production and he pretty much nails it, even Joe Elliot said he has this album on regular rotation now, that's gotta feel pretty good for them to hear that.
This is a start to finish masterfully helmed album. The excellent songwriting paired with this elevated musicianship is exactly what Ghost needed. The choice of hiring Fredrik Åkkeson from Opeth was brilliant. I listened to the whole thing on viny last night. I'm just blown away. Tobias is really recapturing the magic of 80's metal/rock with a fresh take. All the best elements of their sound from previous records have been dialed up to 11. Ghost has a whole is like a homage to this lost era of rock/metal, and with their incredibly unique sound it's really cementing them as a worthy successor like no other band in recent years. Excellent work Tobias! My faith in Ghost has been restored since the fallout after Meliora. Prequelle doesn't come close to topping that album, but this album is up there.
I've been anxious all day except for during the livestream ritual, downloading my pre-ordered digital copy of Impera, and listening to this release. Ghost cures my mental illness 🖤🥀💀👻🤘
An instant classic. This new album is epic in every. TF is proving to be THE prolific musician of modern times. Different genre of course, but almost reminds me of the run the Prince was on from 82-88. Could literally do no wrong.

The guitar riffs after the bridge take this song to a whole different level. And the wailing behind the outro is giving serious Dio vibes. Chefs kiss, this song is perfect.
This song is a true masterpiece. The first couple of verses epically chug along, then the bridge comes and melts my face, the chugging then resumes with the final chorus, and finally we have the blissfully glorious extended outro. It is a fact, Tobias and co. are masterminds of their craft. I would say that this is the best music I've heard in decades, but even decades ago music wasn't as good as this!
The way they can make the trash and power metal vibes sound even better than a lot of legendary bands is insane. The musical range of this Ghost is on another level.
The ability to hit that lower note at the end of the verses is incredible, its clean and smooth transitions everytime. Fantastic songwriting, I enjoy these much more than mantra songs
Just imagine thousands of Ghouls and Ghoulettes singing in unison, *"SEARCHLIGHTS! LOOKING FOR THE WATCHER IN THE SKY!"* This song is meant to be sung live. Hands down, the best song from Impera. Thank you for another modern classic, Tobias Forge and co.
Agreed and yesss beautifully said and thanks Tobias 🙏

Love it.
definitely! glad i wasn't the only one thinking that
Well Ozzy is one of his fav singers
oh ya man !
He sounds like Weird Al
Better then Ozzy and weird Al
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST SINGLE. This song captured ghost’s evolving sound while maintaining the roots that we all fell in loved with.
Nonetheless, Impera is incredible! 💀
Yes truly right, I wrote a similar comment without reading yours first
100% Agreed, this would be amazing as a first single.
I agree Sunshine was awesome but would’ve fit better in the album!
Couldn't agree more. This might be the best cut on the entire album.
I like that it wasn’t. Such a great surprise when I first put the album on!
great news . Ghost won last nite at the 2022 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS for IMPERA!
FAVORITE ROCK ALBUM!!!!
Love the fade out at the end. No band does that these days. It so 80's sound its awesome
It's the best band out there that really captures that 80's vibe. It's literally like being teleported back to the time I grew up in. Love it!

Usually new Ghost songs are a "grower". I loved this with the first listen.
HAH I still think about him doing that bit daily and giggle over it.
I'm really not sure about this album. Maybe it will grow on me but it seems too poppy or butt rock and not the good butt guilty pleasure butt rock.
So far none of the songs from the album appeal to me... I'll hold off buying it, but I'm afraid Ghost shifterd too much from "what I like" into "what sells to a broader audience".
Would you say an "oof oof" to a "RUFF RUFF"?
@@walking_contradiction92 wtf is butt rock lol
The only problem with this album is its too short. Damn you Tobias give us a longer album! Otherwise it's a masterpiece.
He did say it may be back to back album cycles because covid slowed down this release...maybe we'll get another one in a year or something!
just wait for the usual cover EP that comes out a year after a main album release
I fucking heard this song in a dream
I have this gut feeling that another Album will be released within 6 months . Tobias wasn't sitting around doing nothing for the past 2 years .
Skip the double, and triple disc and go straight to a quad!!
*This song is the pinnacle of this new album, it have everything we didn't expect, from amazing eerie riffs, to the beautiful various ranges of vocals, Tobias never disappoints*

EXACTLY IS MASTERPIECE
This entire album is a jaw dropping masterpiece. Guitars, drums, vocals, backup vocals, etc etc etc. Choir. All on point and amazing

The thing about their records is that the songs are very catchy and after hearing them they get stuck in your head all day....hopefully the same thing happens with this record!!
Infectious……👻
id venture to say Ghost has mastered music as magick.
Happening right now.
That'll happen when the choruses takes up half of the song. Definitely master hookers right here.
Despite the gloomy imagenery, the satanic lyrics, the sinister costumes, Ghost actually music is so uplifitng and happy, makes more contemporary stuff sound depressing. Bad mood is gone away and I want to get drunk in a bar singing this chorus.
When asked Tobias has said that he wants the shows / music to be a celebration more than what the usual black / death / metal bands do...

These parts of their songs is exactly why I love Ghost
I absolutely concur
Totally agree
Agree. Pure magic ❤
This is definitely one of my most favorite songs in this album. It has a sort of metal steampunk feel to it; super catchy and infectious. Rock on Ghost!
echoes of Meliora in that way as well
That song is pure goosebumps.
Good steampunk metal is very much needed !
I got that Steampunk vibes throughout the whole album jsjs
So Tobias and his Ghouls main goal is to revive the 80's Rock Metal soul. And its coolest attempt for that genre in this decade. This album is real masterpiece.
A bloody banger straight from the 80s! Absolutely phantastic track!!! Tobias Forge has yet to disappoint!!
This is INCREDIBLE. The song writing skills on the new album are master class. I like how Tobias flexes some vocal muscle right in the right places. This album should 100% win at least one Grammy.

Entirely agree. Masterpieces as a string of pearls on this album.
3:37 All the song is amazing, but here is perfection!!!
Found these guys on Spotify a couple years back with Dance Macabre. I've been I'm love ever since, definitely my favorite band.
The album is a such a masterpiece! Very 80s.
I kind of get 80's Ozzy Osbourne vibes from this one! Tobias seems to be writing more old-school style riffs lately too!
100% reminds me of "No Rest For The Wicked" era Ozzy-Zakk Wylde!!
@@pdurbin22 YES! Immediately thought the same!
Fire in the sky? Can’t you see my castles are burning?

What an absolute monster of a track & what an album. Ghost are going to rule the world.
Absolute favorite track from Impera. Sounds like a cros between Triumph and something off of Ozzy's No Rest For The Wicked album. This is exactly what mainstream music has needed for at least 25 yrs.
Guitar dive bombs, tapping, harmonies...Love that 80's heavy metal vibe.
This should be all rock, or more than just one group nowadays, And I STILL don't hear this on the radio, but I know they have a few times.
Lots of nods to Van Halen and Def Leppard on the album I feel, and the choruses are blatantly singable and designed for arena rockers. Did not disappoint in concert

This sounds like it’s straight out of the late 1970’s. Ghost is absolutely amazing! Impera sounds like the love child of Meliora & Prequelle. It’s only one day old and it’s already an absolute classic! #IfYouHaveGhostYouHaveEverything #Impera
Way more 80's I'd say!
80s
Ok, late 70's and early 80's
More like Metallica meets Ozzy Osbourne.
70s jajaja
Tobias mentioned he was aiming for that killer Def Leppard production and songwriting and I can actually hear that now, not aping them but shooting for Hysteria level production and he pretty much nails it, even Joe Elliot said he has this album on regular rotation now, that's gotta feel pretty good for them to hear that.
I wish to inform you that.....whoever does your album art work is FANTASTIC 💯💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love Ghost 🔥🔥🔥🧨
Zbigniew M. Bielak 🖤🤘
Kinda has a little Iron Maiden vibe to it
I was going to say iron maiden and tool mixed
This album art reminds me of that famous Aleister Crowley photo
@@jonnyleeg4058 funny you mention that, cause this song gives me Mr. Crowley vibes.
That harmonized arpeggiated guitar riff at the end…. Omfg! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
I called my cat Tobias because of you, cause he s smart and talented.
This is a start to finish masterfully helmed album. The excellent songwriting paired with this elevated musicianship is exactly what Ghost needed. The choice of hiring Fredrik Åkkeson from Opeth was brilliant. I listened to the whole thing on viny last night. I'm just blown away. Tobias is really recapturing the magic of 80's metal/rock with a fresh take. All the best elements of their sound from previous records have been dialed up to 11. Ghost has a whole is like a homage to this lost era of rock/metal, and with their incredibly unique sound it's really cementing them as a worthy successor like no other band in recent years. Excellent work Tobias! My faith in Ghost has been restored since the fallout after Meliora. Prequelle doesn't come close to topping that album, but this album is up there.
I've been anxious all day except for during the livestream ritual, downloading my pre-ordered digital copy of Impera, and listening to this release. Ghost cures my mental illness 🖤🥀💀👻🤘
We are all waiting for this song to be included in the European tour setlist
We really, really, really need it in the setlist for sure !
This one and darkness at the heart of my love 🫤 and we need respite on the spitalfields as the final song
At long last we have a new Ghost album!!
Listening to it on iTunes right now. This is epic!!
An instant classic. This new album is epic in every. TF is proving to be THE prolific musician of modern times. Different genre of course, but almost reminds me of the run the Prince was on from 82-88. Could literally do no wrong.
[Intro]
Searchlights
Searchlights
Looking for the watcher in the sky
[Verse 1]
Evolutionary the optics for us
To get answers as to why
We signal to another dimension
That we stand here ready for reply
[Pre-Chorus]
Communication is key
When you unlock to believe
Can you see what I see?
[Chorus]
Searchlights
Looking for the watcher in the sky
Searchlights
Looking for the watcher in the sky
[Verse 2]
The kaleidoscopian visions we've seen
Tell of bloodlines of top notch
The predestinated will dispatch
While your realm has rotted on our watch
[Pre-Chorus]
Communication is kеy
When you unlock to believе
Can you see what I see?
[Chorus]
Searchlights
Looking for the watcher in the sky

Looking for the watcher in the sky

[Bridge]
For the light of our savior (Savior)
His Machiavellian grace (Machiavellian grace)
And in the sheen of his splendor
There is a better place
Let us go
[Chorus]

Looking for the watcher in the sky

Sick lyrics too. Total banger.
Thank you for posting lyrics so we can enjoy as the song plays! 🤟
Thanks 🙏🏻
I have to search forever for these every time! Worth it!
"Let’s Go !" not "Let us go"
The guitar riffs after the bridge take this song to a whole different level. And the wailing behind the outro is giving serious Dio vibes. Chefs kiss, this song is perfect.
Not close to Dio.
This is officially one of my top favorite Ghost songs!
This song is a true masterpiece. The first couple of verses epically chug along, then the bridge comes and melts my face, the chugging then resumes with the final chorus, and finally we have the blissfully glorious extended outro.
It is a fact, Tobias and co. are masterminds of their craft. I would say that this is the best music I've heard in decades, but even decades ago music wasn't as good as this!
Definitely my new favorite song rn hands down 👻🤟🏽👻🤟🏽
What a drumming and those Siren like guitars ❤
Best song I’ve heard on this album so far
Every song they've made never fails to make me fold
love ghost. Went to one of their performances during the tour. So glad they're still crankin out songs
Ooooooooof onions
The way they can make the trash and power metal vibes sound even better than a lot of legendary bands is insane. The musical range of this Ghost is on another level.
Me neck hurts from all the head banging 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They NEED to play this live
Getting a very big Blue Öyster Cult vibe from this song, very cool!
I thought the same with Cirice !!!
Serious Ozzy vibes here.
SEARCHLIGHTS!!!! Damn this is so incredibly catchy. Another total banger from Ghost!
One of my favourites from the album.
The way the verses flow is an absolute marvel, hands down my favorite part of this song.
I would love isolated vocals for the bridge at 3:12 absolutely love that part as a Ghost and Def Leppard fan.
Wow, so far I am loving all the songs coming from this new album! This is great!
The ability to hit that lower note at the end of the verses is incredible, its clean and smooth transitions everytime. Fantastic songwriting, I enjoy these much more than mantra songs
