    I think Tobias would love this reaction channel. You guys are A+ on with the theory, lyrical analysis, and humor every time. Nobody ever catches the “bewitch/ be with”. 😉
    Also! Tom Dalgety was the producer for this album. He was nominated for a Grammy for his production work on this album.

      It's kind of funny that I can tell when someone hasn't watched the more than 3 minutes of the video because they complain we didn't catch the bewitch/be with pun! :)

    And yes it is Tobias on the solo. He records everything himself and only uses the band for live shows

    Fun fact. Tobias originally thought that this song wasn't for Ghost but was perfect for someone else and try to convince his writing partners to give it away. But they said it's a Ghost song and they started to work on it together and sure it's a real gem. Prequelle is a theme album about The Black Death and is best listened to from start to finish but every song has so much quality you could listen to them separately also. Dance Macabre deals with when they got the disease they party and dance all night because they're going to die and wants to go out happy.

    The Swedish thing really lends a unique element to the sound overall. The vocal harmonies. He unabashedly digs ABBA, and their influence is all over those harmonies.

    This is one of the most fun rock songs I’ve heard in a very long time. As a musician I really appreciate the brilliance of Ghost. Ghost is resurrecting Hard Rock for a new generation and making it cool again.

      I agree, but sadly it looks like they are listening on Spotify. Spotify truly has the worst quality of music. Their algorithm for discovery of new music might be top notch, but the quality is just not good.

    To answer your question. Tobias plays all guitars on the first four albums. (Except nylon guitar on Helvetesfönster and the solo on Year Zero. But on the upcoming Impera album Fredrik Åkesson from Opeth has takes over that part because Tobias just doesn't have time. Fredrik and Tobias are friends. You need to understand that Ghost is only Tobias Forge. It's not a band it's like Alice Cooper or Ozzy Osbourne.

    Tobias said he wrote this song about living during the black plague. Some folks partied like there was no tomorrow. Hence the party sound.

    To be fair...
    Tobias has an outstanding ear for melody... From vocal harmonies to guitar solos he just has a gift that plants that melody straight into your mind...
    The cover of
    "if you have ghosts" is a perfect example of how to create a melodic masterpiece from an obscure song but also make that cover a musical gem at the same time 🖤🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻

    My friend Invited me to one of their concerts back in Febuary and i only listened to a few songs to get a feel and i could tell i would like them then waited. I enjoyed their songs but this Song resonated something inside me. I knew that they just skyrocketed up my personal favorites Bands. Watching this song live is an experience.
    But I've been watching your reactions (specifically to the Ghost ones atm) and I like your breakdowns of them. You put into words of what my hindbrain picks up on. And I'm Glad your enjoying them and their unique style.
