LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics & credits: Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe But still I go on, my hunger is strong Hoping that someone will grab my hand Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world Maybe it's too late？ No one can save me From all of the darkness and solitude Cry, like shadows of the night I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive Despite going through this hell Cause still my heart has hope No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart Reckless and fast, how long will I last？ Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear Hoping that someday I'll be repaid Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here Am I all alone？ Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing Hide, in shadows I reside I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go In desolated land knowing no escape But still I wish to live Just waiting for a somebody to notice me Before I fall down to depths of the abyss SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe But still I go on, my hunger is strong Hoping that someone will grab my hand Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world Maybe it's too late？ No one can save me from solitude Cry, like shadows of the night I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go In desolated land knowing no escape But still I wish to live Just waiting for a somebody to notice me Before I fall down to depths of the abyss Like shadows of the night I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive Despite going through this hell Cause still my heart has hope No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: miyako & LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Awakening From Abyss 10/25/2017 ---
Asami really stepped up her game in the live version in Tokyo as in many of their live songs. Her ability to sing the long vocal hold-outs that she brings to the live shows is what often adds to the live version superior..
The Metal Queens 👑 really rocking on this one. This is one of my favorites that was an early one I saw many years ago. M&M really bringing it with that guitar solo and Haruna crushing the drums. Glad you loved it. Live is also worth a look. I've had many reactors do this one.
The best band out there right now. Ma&M = perfection. Miho =Headbanger bad ass player. Haruna the Little big engine that is nuclear powerd. And the one voice Asami ❤️❤️
This clip was the first song that I saw of Lovebites, I saw a seggestion of five ladies in white dresses and didn't knew what to expect. But when the song started with that beautiful guitarintro I knew i was in for something special and the more the song went on the more I was amazed and when the back and forth on the guitar was going I was completely mesmerized. It was highly technical and so melodic at the same time, the solo was so well structured and especially at the end when you think it's over then Miyako comes in again, it was superb. After the song was over I played it three times more, I simply couldn't get enough of it. The singing of Asami, the drumming of Haruna and the bass of Miho and the two ladies on guitar, they were a perfect team.
That’s exactly how I felt when I first heard Lovebites! The intro just grabs you, and then the whole song keeps building. The guitar work, especially the back-and-forth, is insane. And when you think it’s over, Miyako’s solo hits you again-so good! The whole band is just perfect together-Asami’s voice, Haruna’s drumming, Miho’s bass. It’s hard not to hit replay after a song like that!
Another banger song! The environment, the black&white video, and the start of the Midori solo always brings to mind the Painkiller Judas Priest video (85M views ...)
Fantastic reaction as always..👍 Each of these Ladies is a Powerhouse in their own right 🔥🔥 but man together .. they are just Sooo Badass ..🔥🔥if they can’t make you smile then nothing will 👌🔥💪💪
A masterpiece of metal, and Midori's solo is one of the best I have ever heard. You have so much more amazement on the way from these ladies. Grats on 1k subs! 🤘🐺🤘
Song that helped get them recognized globally. Everyone is incredible. M & M are the best guitar duo I've heard ever. They are as close to flawless as you can get. Miyako at 5.58 just cmon. There's a live version that is also phenomenal.
One of my all time favorites by them. 3 observations: 1. Midori's smile during her solo is priceless 2. 5:59 - 6:01 - sexiest 2 seconds of guitar playing EVER 3. Haruna / Miho absolutely killing it during that build up before the solos start! Such a great face melter and just a year after they formed. To be this tight musically so early...holy smokes! 🤘
Totally agree! Midori’s smile during the solo is priceless, and those 2 seconds at 5:59-6:01 are pure magic! 🔥 Haruna and Miho really bring it in that build-up too!
Thanks for checking this out. This was the second MV they ever posted on YT, and the one that blew the doors off the world. Jaws dropped, faces melted, and Lovebites were on their way. The only crazier thing is that they nail this live, every time.
Awesome LIVE performance! Here is same performance in 1080p: ua-cam.com/video/kbbJZvgVVOs/v-deo.html The other link is a 720p screen-grab from their 'LIVE at Home II' preview of the full LIVE disk. 😉 🐺 dreg👁
My first LOVEBITES experience, I am embarrassed to admit I was disbelieving, Midori's "Allan Holdsworth-esque" solo being just "too good"! This mistake needlessly delayed my enjoyment of their other fantastic songs/performances. I've since become more 'fanatic' for LOVEBITES than any previous band and 4+ years on, not losing enthusiasm! I recommend a pair of 'prog' songs from their 2021 EP "Paranoia > Dystopia Symphony" includes [cc] lyrics but no Music Video or LIVE (yet): ua-cam.com/video/yu0NwiC18y0/v-deo.html (12-minutes) 🐺 dreg👁
No need to be embarrassed! I totally get that feeling - sometimes a performance can be so incredible, it’s hard to believe it’s real! 😄 Midori’s solo definitely has that jaw-dropping quality. I’m glad you’ve embraced LOVEBITES fully now! Thanks for the recommendation!
my first time I fell in love with lovebites, the melody part was really beautiful, and each of them gave an explosive performance, this song was the beginning of the birth of lovebites's fans, a.k.a. the wolfpack. anyway, thanks for the reaction. 😊 p.s. btw, have you reacted to the song lovebites, break the wall, I won't give you any spoilers, what is clear is that the song shows the basic essence of lovebites, what kind of band they are actually. 😊
Totally get what you mean-Lovebites just hits differently. That melody is so beautiful, and each of them brings such energy to the performance. You can really feel how this song helped bring the Wolfpack together! 😊 Thanks for the suggestion! I haven’t checked out Break the Wall yet, but now I’m really curious.
The live performance is a MUST WATCH. You'll see the difference, especially with Asami, as this lacks two of her most outstanding signature vocal leaps.
Love it, thanks for checking out the MV, A lot of great details to pick up on this video too, I love how much they emphasize the guitar solos. I'm sure most people prefer their Live videos and music videos, but they have a killer thrash metal track that is audio only. It is called "where's identity" on their new ep. ua-cam.com/video/j2miHR2YwT0/v-deo.html
Shadowmaker is one of my _first three songs_ I ever heard from LOVEBITES just before I was sold. Therefore I have a very special relationship to it. "Swan Song", "Shadowmaker" and "Holy War" - not necessarily in that order. Then LOVEBITES had my attention, and I watched every f....ricking LOVEBITES music video that I could possibly find here. After their fifth or sixth song, I just bought all of their records. 😂 And I never ever regretted it. Never ever. 😁 DE/GER
one song you should consider is 'scream for me' - a live studio version. the guitar solos in this are probably unlike anything you've ever seen. : ua-cam.com/video/46z-13l2oNs/v-deo.html
There are only a very few composers and/or songwriters whose songs are _timeless_ . Just take J. S. Bach ("Air"), "Antonio Vivaldi ("The Four Seasons"), Michael Jackson ("Beat it", "Thriller"), Queen, The Beatles. In my personal opinion, LOVEBITES belong into that category already. Timeless Metal.

LOVEBITES - Shadowmaker lyrics & credits:
Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
But still I go on, my hunger is strong
Hoping that someone will grab my hand
Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
Maybe it's too late？
No one can save me
From all of the darkness and solitude
Cry, like shadows of the night
I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
Despite going through this hell
Cause still my heart has hope
No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart
Reckless and fast, how long will I last？
Dancing like puppets, I'm empty inside
Fighting the fear, and grieving the dear
Hoping that someday I'll be repaid
Only my echoing heartbeats can prove that I'm here
Am I all alone？
Even a faint light is too bright for me, I can't see a thing
Hide, in shadows I reside
I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
In desolated land knowing no escape
But still I wish to live
Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
SOLO: midori / mi-ya / both / miya
Caught in the noise, my thoughts are destroyed
Trapped in the silence, it's so hard to breathe
But still I go on, my hunger is strong
Hoping that someone will grab my hand
Stranded by moonlight I realize the cold of this world
Maybe it's too late？
No one can save me from solitude
Cry, like shadows of the night
I tremble like a heartless soul, no place to go
In desolated land knowing no escape
But still I wish to live
Just waiting for a somebody to notice me
Before I fall down to depths of the abyss
Like shadows of the night
I carry all the pain inside to justify why I'm alive
Despite going through this hell
Cause still my heart has hope
No matter if I'm torn apart, I'll play my part
Before I drown with secret thoughts of my heart

I've made up my mind and will listen to the live version for you guys! I'm excited haha!

I have to check out the live to this for sure! M&M remind me so much of Zacky and Synyster and I just love that
The best band out there right now. Ma&M = perfection. Miho =Headbanger bad ass player. Haruna the Little big engine that is nuclear powerd. And the one voice Asami ❤️❤️
That's why they call her Little Big Engine she is relentless
She is ruthless and just doesn't stop lol amazing drumming

Really like the way this video been shot. Close ups of the guitar necks and their fingers just flying across the fretboard.❤
Yes! The videography is incredible 🤘
Yes, this is the best guitar work of all times!
AGREED!

Yes, It's probably my favorite so far! I can't wait to hear more and thank you so much! I wouldn't have made to 1k without Wolfpack! 🐺🤘
Midori and Miyako’s favorite song to play! 🎸🔥🎸🔥🤘
Haha really??? Those solos are just jaw dropping

Great review dude. This is my favorite Lovebites MVs or can be of all the MVs.
Thank you so much! I'm still listening to it today and those solos are just to die for

Careful, you only have about 48 LOVEBITES songs to go!
I don't want it to go away lol 48 seems so short but yet super exciting!

my first time I fell in love with lovebites,
the melody part was really beautiful,
and each of them gave an explosive performance,
this song was the beginning of
the birth of lovebites's fans,
a.k.a.
the wolfpack.
anyway, thanks for the reaction.
😊
p.s.
btw,
have you reacted to the song lovebites,
break the wall,
I won't give you any spoilers,
what is clear is that the song shows the basic essence of lovebites,
what kind of band they are actually.

Thanks for the suggestion! I haven’t checked out Break the Wall yet, but now I’m really curious.
This song easy 9/10, the solo on this song.....out of scale.
The solo work on this song is on repeat!
The live performance is a MUST WATCH. You'll see the difference, especially with Asami, as this lacks two of her most outstanding signature vocal leaps.
I'm def going to check it out now!! Thank you!
