When the word is out from the other side, she turns around
'Cause day and night she's waited patiently
Now a different kind of world out there is to be found
It's over now for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know it's the sign of the times
It wakes him up, he turns around
And now he's gone
He's been waitin' for this moment desperately
Now the time is right, he's turnin' back, he's going home
It's over now for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know it's the sign of the times
And every time it's on my mind
I feel so insecure it worries me to end up here alone
But every time I realize, I need her more and more, yeah
I'd never make it on my own, oh God
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know it's the sign of the times

😅💪❤❤❤🥳
Kee guitar 👍
So for all of you out there in the Tommy Johansson video community, I have a question. Has anyone of you heard anything from Tommy that he did not do better than the original musicians and singers? Is there anything this man cannot sing? Is there any guitar solo he cannot play and play better than the original? Is there any modern-day singer or musician more talented than Tommy? If there is I'd like to hear about him or her because I can't find anyone who even compares to the massive talent of this man.
Є, починаючий співак в Україні Іван Ворон❤
It's the way he belts them out, totally confident! I'm still waiting for "Love Bites", Def Leppard.
TOMMY JOHANSSON, ESTI BESTIAL ,BESTIAL BESTIAL DE BUN ,FANTASTIC ! FELICITARI! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dan Vasc has the singing skills even though Tommy is a tenor and Dan is more of a baritone. Victor the Guitar Nerd is the only I can think of that have the same level of talent as Tommy, but Tommy have it all (and is a goofy giant hug machine)
😂🎉🎉🎉
Europe is a totally underrated rock band! Everyone only knows the final countdown ( which rocks), every song on that album rocks. Their old material is killer too.
I agree 100% with you!
Absolutely!
I love Carrie. Always had a guilty pleasure thing with power ballads and it was one of my favorites. Would love to hear Tommy do that
@@purdhupley7864 love the guitar solo in that song, awesome melody and it fits perfect. Every track on that album is great. Heart taker and danger on the track are my favorites
Ok , but Europe is not underrated by me 🤘🏼🤘🏼🇧🇷
Ladies and gentlemen, the Swedish metal legend Tommy Johansson!!!⚡️😎😉
Ahhhaaahhh
@@anekwolfe 😉😉😉😂😂😂
Out Of This World is such a hidden gem in the treasury of rock and roll.
Викинг , ты просто чудо! Хочу чтобы весь мир знал и слушал тебя! Удачи!
Согласна на все 100
Hello Thommy whar a Voice... I decovered you this winter... Come soon in Swizerland next year !!! See on "Sion sous les Etoiles", in Wallis, our country by the montains... this year we shall hear and see ZiziiTop, and other groups. For 2 years Hurria Heep was by us, and Deeppurple, another year Status Quo, etc ... one day-night full Rock and 3 days other singers (french singers). Come, come, come 😊🎉❤❤
Tommy, I want more Europe ballads, please! Your voice is perfect for this...🎸🎶

Sign of the time of Europe is a really MASTERPIECE...Congratulations Tommy!
REAL MASTERPIECE.
Tommy makes everything better than the original he is the best💙💙💙💙🥰🥰🥰
Який талант! А вокал просто супер! Діапазон - бомба!
Without a doubt, Tommy knows how to make a guitar scream ! 😁
A monster of rock. Huge talent.
I didnt know this song from Europe....its really very good. And You´re brilliant!!!
Total Viking power. Great job.
Wow! I love that you choose a song by Europe, and played the solo on a Kee Marcello signature guitar! Kee is another great guitarist from Northern Sweden, so that you pays a tribute to his work is really fitting. And amazing guitar work as always! Keep on rocking, Tommy!
Thank you!! It’s actually not only a Kee Marcello signature guitar, it’s his actuall guitar that he used! :)
@@ReinXeed I guessed that, which is really cool! A quite unusual model as well! 🤘
Great comment!!
Kee Marcello's playing on the Out of This World album is incredible! Every solo was a masterpiece.
What brand is it? I've been trying to remember what it was forever.
How can anyone be so incredibly talented and yet so nice and down to earth? Thank you again, Tommy, for making my day! 🙂🤘🤘🤘
Humility is the key to greatness. Self satisfied people never improve. Most talented people are actually the nicest
Este sí que te lo alegra y todos los días😏
True
That’s very nice of you!! Thank you ☺️🙏
Best Cover Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandma from Finland loved this
Europe.. i loved this band in the 80s....Norum is one of my all time go to shredders .. seven doors hotel and Aphasia being in my top track list.. credit to you Tommy.. quality..🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ки конечно лучший,но здесь тоже хорошо
Non è Norum ma Kee Marcello
Sign Of The Times has one of the best keyboard intros of all time and an excellent melodic guitar solo, looking forward to hearing your interpretation of it Tommy
Kee Marcello is one of the greatest guitarist in the world!!
A great song by a great band♥I'm waiting ⏳with pleasure... 🎧💯Tommy sing it💣
🎹🎧👍🤍💙💜
O man, i love this yellow guitar....😅
I love this voice...❤❤❤
As a big fan of the band Europe all congratulations to Tommy!👍🤩 I got goosebumps!😉 The energy in Tomi's voice is unique!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tommy took me back to my teenage years!👌
Яка потужна музика. Вокал ідеальний. Талант. Люблю таких виконавців. Аж мурахи по тілу. Молодці!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm speechless, you are perfection!
sweden meets sweden😀 absolut perfect cover of this great eighties hard rock song🤘👍
Kee Marcello is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. His tasteful and melodic solos that stay close to the choruses are brilliant. What a choice, Tommy. Can't wait
Edit: You blew this out of the water, man. Just absolutely beautifully done. Love that you had one of Kee's guitars.
Gosh,
Finally somebody thinks the same as I do...
Keep Marcello was the the best 🎸in Europe !
I don't like the way John Norum behaved as a spoiled child, I don't like the way he came back in the band...
And I really Don't appreciate the way his name is given at least 2 or 3 times during a Europe'concerts... ☹️😡!!!
Did you hear the Kee Marcello "Shine on" album ???
@@stephanyengelen5292 Hey. I have heard everything Kee has released. I really like his playing both with Europe and solo. He's technical but also tasteful. He can absolutely shred, but he doesn't have to. I prefer him to John as well. Just a personal preference.
Absolutely another super performance from an amazingly talented individual we love you Tommy my friend keep on rocking my friend.
One of the most underrated Europe songs. And Tommy is a farking genius, everything he does is awesome
Tommy you sound like you were Europes singer back in the day! At the same time you’re making this song your own but still staying true to the original! I love everything about it, the vocals, the yellow Marcello guitar and the overall sound! Amazing…again!! 💥🔥⚡️🎸
What a absolute banger of a tune. More Europe please ☺️
Seriously lol
I concur - rock the night?
This is a favorite song of mine 😍 This Friday seems much better now! Happy weekend everyone 😁
♫ No matter what Tommy sings, every cover version is just awesome. ♫ 🤘😉🤘
Dude c'mon you absolutely nailed this man, congrats!!! 🤘🤘
Europe is one of my favourite 80s bands, so I expected a lot. I wasn't disappointed. Remarkable work! Really beautiful piano playing and the guitar cover is fabulous. I would also love to hear the cover of Rock the Night. 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Wow Tommy, finns inte ord att beskriva hur jäkla bra du är!! 🤘❤️
håller med Helene han är grym
@@Critical979
....det är grymt och beroendeframkallander....😅
Fantastiskt! Kan inte annat än bli ”Tommystruck”, du är så himla bra! Tusen tack för den👍🏻❤️
I absolutely love Europe! Prisoners In Paradise will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. Phenomenal cover man! You killed it!
Detta får en att inse hur jäkla grym röst Joey egentligen har.
Duktig Tommy.
Very much agreed! Joey has an amzing voice. Joey is one of the greatest, hands down. And Tommy does this very well.
Beautiful Song...Thank You Tommy....🎸🎶
With you Wonderful Voice, gives It a feeling of immensity, freedom and Happiness. 🌻
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times....
Those are meaningful Beautiful words
❤️🍀🌹
I get so nostalgic listening to this. You totally recreated Europe’s music and made it even better! I’m brought back to my childhood in the 80’s, listening to Europe and playing with Masters of the Universe-figures
Simplesmente sensacional a performance 😮🇧🇷
We want more !
A Europe cover! Finally! Kee's guitar?! It's soooooooo good! LOVE IT!🤩❤️
👀....😂
Ooh that 🎸🎸🔥👀 guitar, love this song, hold on 👍🎶 awesome 😎🔥❤️❤️❤️🎸🔥😎👀have a great day Tommy, Thank you for making our week special, your voice is phenom always!!!❤️❤️❤️With Love❤️💕
Tommy has magical abilities! After a totally gray morning, the sun comes out just in time for his Friday premiere! Thank you Tommy, for another amazing song and a wonderful weekend for you and all who are listening here! 🌞🙏😍
I hadn't listened to this song for a long time because it is linked to the disappearance of a person I was very close to. Listening to your cover hasn't been easy for me but it's absolutely fantastic, but I admit I couldn't hold back the tears
That vocal range 😍😍😍 oh my goodness ❤❤❤
O TOMMY É SUPERIOR! QUE TALENTO!QUE VOZ! VERDADEIRO STAR!HAPY!
There are many virtuosos on different instruments out there and very few like Johansson, who can play and arrange all instruments for a song and sing all parts in a magnificent way. But real spice to Tommy Johansson's work is added by nailing every possible tone, especially guitar tones. It is highly noticeable that he dedicated a time and effort to get 1/1 tone of every song, just listen to this one, empty rooms, burning heart, separate ways... he is without doubt best cover maker on YT!
PS: His appearance reminds me a bit of Mattias Eklundh, probably due to a swedish style :) Keep on rocking Tommy!
You nailed the vocal, Joey will be proud, thanks.
Majestic voice , Majestic performance , and the selection of songs is really out of this world .... Thank you Tommy
WOW! One of the old time favourites. Tommy has gone one notch higher. 👍
Mein 58 jahre altes Herz....ist sehr berührt ❤.. Deine Stimme geht bis ins....Sele😊
WOW AMAZING TOMMY!! GRRAZIE! BRAVISSIMOOO 🤜✌💪 Europe...I remember when they came to play at the Sanremo festival in Italy, I was 10 or 12 years old. The next day I was playing with my little friends and I said: "Did you see the festival yesterday? I like Europe!" And a little boy said, "What? The ones with the lipstick and the long hair?" And everyone started laughing...I remember it like it was now....I felt misunderstood and different...that was my first step towards becoming a metalhead!! ✌🎸🎶 At my parent's house there's still a Europe poster somewhere! 🕉🌻♥️
Ну, просто это было шикарно! Молодец! 🎹❤🎧🎼🎸❤
Absolutely love this.
You are sent by God with your angelic voice..Awesome

Dear Tommy
You always create such wonderful songs for us!
It turned out fantastic.
Thank you ☺️
Yes, but this is a Europe's song.
@@Amaiaolazabal580 I know..🥰
But every song from Tommy sounds different from the original. He puts his heart and soul into the production and that makes every cover unique.🔥🎸❤️
@@mariannagajdosne7121 That's for sure! Astonish versions
I used to be a Europe fan many years ago. And I thought that Joey Tempest had the best metal voice on the planet (he's still a great singer) ... Then..
Well, things change... 😉
You're voice is made for this kind of songs! 🤘 I'd say you nailed it!!💪
Btw, awesome Sabaton show in Lund!!🤘🔥 I had soo much fun! 🤩 I think my boyfriend had a good time too on his first Sabaton concert. He was a bit shocked though, when everyone around him started to jump... 😄
Outstanding cover as always, and I'm sure Kee Marcello will be proud to know you're the new owner of his custom guitar. Loved the transition you did from the Charvel to the Larrivee for the solo to reveal your new "toy", it sounds amazing🤘🏻🎸
Bro thank youu for this- Europe is so underrated
I'm an amateur drummer and I have been into Europe since The Final Countdown album came out. Great rendition of this awesome song: great vocals and guitar solo !!! Greetings from Italy
Oczywiście też jestem fanką Europe ,gdybym nie patrzyła na video nie rozpoznałabym głosu, bardzo profesjonalnie,chętnie posłuchałabym na żywo na koncercie .Nie wiem czy grasz ze słuchu czy czytasz, nutyale gra na instrumentach ,gitara idealnie tak właśnie mają chodzić palce po gryfie gitary,aż radość gdy patrzy się jak grasz idealnie ,to brzmienie prawdziwe ,mocne .Pozdrawiam i bardzo kibicuje dalszym osiągnięciom i karierze muzycznej bo widać że realizujesz swoją pasję, ktoś kto kocha muzykę i zatraca się dla niej na każdym etapie życia, dostrzega ile serca ,uczucia wkładasz w każde wykonanie .Super ,że czytasz komentarze bo chcielibyśmy tego więcej i więcej, abyś wiedział jakie wywołujesz w nas emocje gdy możemy posłuchać Twojego głosu i dźwięku .Niech one dopingują cie do dalszej pracy i nie zatrać się w tym biznesie .
Wow, that was a perfect combination between lovely and powerful. Like a sweet lullaby (the kindness and honesty in your voice) you can totally rock on (that melody!), thanks for such a beautiful interpretation! Btw, that's a gorgeous guitar. You and everything in this video... Awesome!! 🎶🎵🎼✅✅✅🏆🏆🏆🏆
Have a great weekend, Thanks for another amazing friday. Take care, greetings from Venezuela 😁
Vero vero good !
Man you are great! You are a giant! I'm very very happy to hear this cover! This is Europe's best track, from their best album! Long live 80s melodic rock! You gave soul to this solo! God Kee Marcello will be very happy because there is hardly any other guitarist besides you who can play the solo like that! Once again thank you! Please do a cover of Joe Lynn Turner's strongest track Rainbow - Can't Let You Go! ❤
Талант!!!👍🏻👏🏻
The kee Marcello guitar swap was a very unexpected and nice touch.
His guitar *definitely* ended up in the right hands! ...And that transition to it was *so* brilliant and perfectly done! You're an absolute legend, Tommy!
Another amazing cover Tommy, and that guitar is beautiful 😍
I love your Friday videos ❤! And you make me discover more musicians that I like to listen to 🎧🎸 I guess some algorithm at Spotify scratches its head and wonders where she is going now 😂
Tommy's voice is a out of this world...
That guitar is a piece of 80's rock music and it's absolutely fabulous. Thank you for giving us another amazing cover 🤩🤘🤘🎶🎶❤🎸
This song is amazing! Your vocal, guitar playing!!! Thank you for your beautiful music Tommy, Have a great weekend🤘🎶🎸💖
Looking forward this 😍
Out of this world song... Out of this world band (EUROPE)... Out of this world cover... The best Europe's song cover EVER...
Wow!! Gilla👍gilla👍gilla👍 Otroligt bra!! Tack för denna fantastiska sång och musik !! 🤘 🎶 🎸❤️
Tommy, i'm fed up of you....every cover you make makes feel like i'm totally useless and have to give up music.....you're just so brilliant...
Awesome 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥
Lo sai vero? Che sei un grande? …Io sono cresciuta con Europe e ancora oggi li ascolto e vedo ,nei loro concerti ❤🤘🏻
Helt suveränt , så himla otroligt bra låt ! Tänk att man har blivit så Tommyberoende ! Tack för ännu en Underbar Fredag Bästa Herr Johansson 🔥🤟🥰
Nytt bra ord...Tommyberoende. 😁
@@CarinaLenita Eller hur , och inte vill man in på någon avvänjning heller 😅
@@ingerbjorkman6373 NEJ! För hundra gubbar! Absolut inte! 😆
Äntligen en diagnos!! 😂 Det är så illa här så t o m barnen klagar... Och Tommy -spellistan bara fylls på! 🤘 😁
@@lionfromthenorth4580 Ja Fredagar är heliga numera mellan 11.30 - 12.30 ! Stör ej skylt på ytterdörren , Persienner stängs igen , Fasta telefonen , luren av ! Är så tacksam för min diagnos 🤟🤣
Joey Tempest would be proud !!! ( and a little scared 😅 ) DAMN YOU KILLED IT !!
Great song and beautiful guitar. Beautiful singer as well.
I'm an extreme metal person but love everything you do Tommy (Sabaton, Majestica, Golden Resurrection etc...). Oh and back in the day I saw Europe (80's) numerous times and they were excellent live, great cover too!
This guy tommy the only Thing you can Do is too ❤️Love Him He's amazing 🤘
KILLER Brother,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Thanks So Much So Much
I found myself looking for your video at 3 am in U.S 😅
But I guess I have to wait a little longer to get an absolute well produced, cover gem like this one.
Thank you Tommy for making me fall in love with my music once again. ❤🤗
SUPER VOCE ! INCREDIBIL ! TOMMY JOHANSSON, ESTI DEMENTIAL DE BUN ! FELICITARI!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now I can say that Friday has definitely become the highlight of my week. You do not only cover a song but you also turn that into a gem where you put all of your feelings and passion 🔥 Few artists can do that. The way you play Kee Marcello’s guitar then (couldn’t wait to see that) adds that magical touch to the performance. Good job Tommy, see you next Friday 🎸
P.S I love you keyboard, a black Yamaha like mine 🎼🎹
Awesome to see that one of kind Kee Marcello Custom Larrivée guitar. Lter on in video. Congratulations to ownership! Hey! Break Free is an awesome Europe-Kee Marcello tune, an outtake tune which never made it to an album. Please cover it!
Outstanding!!!!! Joey has amazing power and range and you really hit those high notes beautifully!!! Greetings from Australia
PAZZESCO !!!!!! fantastico da fan degli EUROPE ti faccio i miei più sinceri complimenti !!!!!🤟
