yeah exactlyy right. seems like such a secluded area, its like in the north, where there are a lot less people. i can imagine how much these boys missed such a tight knit community
I've only discovered Moon Safari in the last 4 or 5 months and i don't think I've heard anything this outstanding for 20 years or more! I've bought every album bar one of the live ones and i can't remember progressive music that has impressed me from every aspect... i feel privileged to have found this band...they are just so talented !
My new favorite band. This is so unbelievably amazing, I just can not get enough of this song, or any other one they wrote. This is just...outstanding. By God, none of the music on my favorites list compares at the moment.
Absolutely positively wonderful. The five thumbs down need their hearing checked. Just a phenomenal band, perhaps the best progressive rock band that nobody has ever heard of.
I have most definitely heard of Moon Safari here in the UK, and they are hands down my most favourite prog band by far these days and I am a long time fan of bands like Genesis, Yes and ELP. Moon Safari is up there with these guys as far as I'm concerned! 👍
Oops...pressed the wrong key...as I was saying, I'm a long time YES fans and always look for new Prog bands. I found a few over the years but no one compares to MS. These guys are awesome. They can sing, play and write creative music with beautiful melodies. Just love everything they've recorded so far.
Stunning!...love this track. Where on earth did this lot come from?...and how did they get so damned good in such a short time? This music is quite incredible - like the Flower Kings but without all the challenging shit!
TACK SOM FAN!!! Såg dem i Skellefteå på turnepremiären och det var en av de underbaraste konserter jag varit på! Och detta mästervärk var nog bäst på hela konserten! Nu sitter jag och väntar på att ep:n ska komma hem i brevlådan men får lyssna på den här än så länge :) Moon Safari, Skellefteås Stolthet!
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Anyone who says great prog ended in the 70s should listen to this masterpiece. And there's Big Big Train, Haken, Riverside, Mostly Autumn, Lazuli and many many more new bands who are making absolutely brilliant music.
now waiting for you all to produce a new album and have a great wish to see you all someday LIVE. prog on guys you all are the greatest modern generation progressive rock pioneers.
and of course those harmony vocals ...loved Star Castle more than Yes because they had a more accessible sound...it never went over the top..allthough I never minded bands that went over the top but for some strange reason Yes was not my cup of tea ( but I do have their first three albums and all of the Star Castle albums, also their come back releases which are still amazing )
This is really good. Also check out "Yasgur's Farm" and "Bluebells." This band has a really nice epic old-school prog sound that makes your soul feel good. Love it!
Hi Charles...they are coming back to the UK at the end of November 2014 on a double bill with French band Lazuli. Saw them at the Robin 2 in Bilston back in September and they were immense. My find of the year, and one of my fave gigs, right up there with Rush and the Neal Morse/Flower Kings/Transatlantic gigs. Hope they play this again in full!
Wow this song has got to have one of the most beautiful melodies i've ever heard in a prog epic. Thank you Moon Safari. You did good. You did DAMN good.
Lover’s End, Part III: Skellefteå Serenade(paroles) The mountain mob is on their way Downtown with the '208', To seal this summers fate Mary's on the city square, she flashes her engagement ring to anyone who cares All the poets are blunt tonight, As Bishop's arms gone dry The lonely lover's just arrived He's tearing every doorway down And invites the darkness again & Tunnel's out tonight All dressed up for one last bout With dreamy eyes They carry on as if nothing could break their hearts The streets are slitherin' like a snake And the shadows are standing guard beneath a killer moon Mary's dancing to the beat of the howling mob to Merchant st. One last retreat The promise of the southbound train Fades with every drink and dies with the rain & Tunnel's out tonight Stomp those high nosed bastards down in one last fight Today we'll make a new Jerusalem We'll meet again in cold december Another night noone will remember In the distance Mary's singing "This is my hometown, yeah this is my home til' I die" Under the cold light of God's street lamp, he walks alone the original supertramp King of the sticks, mayor of madness It gets us all in the end, in this part of the world Ol' Rubberfeet if you could see us now Five years have passed since your last bikeride The city's outsourced and the factory's shutting down Culture's been boiled down to a they all can sing, But they've stopped believin' the words Ol' Rubberfeet if you could see us now Ol' Rubberfeet we really get you now In this town the only movement Is by the driftwood down the river Let everyone and everything just drown in the dam and get lost in the deep blue sea Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay To those that didn't matter anyway For years I've said goodbye to this old town The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done The chic elite and all the punks meet Out on the porch, where we're all just rubberfeet Burning the streets just like a wildfire You'd better burn all your maps to get out of this trap Ol' Rubberfeet our home has lost its soul Ol' Rubberfeet, no heroes in this show When autumn falls down like a curtain and all the roads are quite uncertain The dream postponed just weighs you down Face it my friend, you are stuck in this lonely town Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay Cheers to all the ones I wished away For years I've said goodbye to this old town The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done I heard you're leaving the city You're heading back north For years I have waited for you to come home But my bags they are all packed and I'm closing that door And the songs I gave you don't mean a thing anymore But you know that I love you I'm never leaving, this place is my home I hope you've sorted your life out But I guess you're alone I want to call you, but I'm much too proud I'll try to catch your face but you're lost in the crowd But you know that I love you Life is but a waiting room And I guess I'm still waiting there for you I thought that I was only passing through From the Sunlit hill to the Singing valley, I feel you everywhere Life is but a waiting room And I guess I'm still waiting there for you I thought that I was only passing by Some of us burn in beautiful ways Some do believe that these are the days I've wasted these years just looking back But I've saved my best lines for one final act - A bitter kiss off to the memories of you Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay And here's to everyone that found their way For years I've said goodbye to this old town The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done I close my eyes, I'm home at last and all of the lost boys are here by my side Your love's got me on the run, But I'm never leaving my hometown Your love's got me on the run, But I'm never leaving my hometown
Ya'll seem to be breaking into new areas, even while revisiting some earlier LE themes. I'm always slow finding out about new releases these days. But once I do I usually snatch 'em right up... usually in just a month or two.
especially this lyrics: "Life is but a waiting room And I guess I'm still waiting there for youuuuuuuuu" absolutely reeks of cheesiness but it's the best love song ever created regardless.
@@ChrisChoi123 As the title pretty much gives away the entire "Lover's End" suite is more about the memory of love that ended, at least somewhat, bitterly and that now has passed. " _A bitter kiss off to the memories of you_ "

I listened to this song in 2012 but forgot the name. After 12 years, I'm finally here
I will probably never find a band as beatiful as this
This is one of the most perfectly crafted pieces of music I ever did hear.
damn you guys know Moon Safari too? never would have guessed it from your music
Absolutely gorgeous! What a great song! Long live prog!
Damn, this song really makes me want to venture away from my small town to visit Skellefteå.
yeah exactlyy right. seems like such a secluded area, its like in the north, where there are a lot less people. i can imagine how much these boys missed such a tight knit community
I've only discovered Moon Safari in the last 4 or 5 months and i don't think I've heard anything this outstanding for 20 years or more! I've bought every album bar one of the live ones and i can't remember progressive music that has impressed me from every aspect... i feel privileged to have found this band...they are just so talented !
That is exactly how I feel. It took me 4 years to discover them, from first discovering rock through Bohemian Rhapsody about 4 years ago.
My new favorite band. This is so unbelievably amazing, I just can not get enough of this song, or any other one they wrote. This is just...outstanding. By God, none of the music on my favorites list compares at the moment.
I listen to this magnum-opus every day. Greetings from Brazil.
Do you still listen to it everyday?
@@ChrisChoi123 I listen this since 2012 /// hi from Russia!
America here listening in 2020.
Still in love in 2020... glad they reunited
@@teemuhyvonen1333 wait what, where did u hear this? when were they ever apart?
Outstanding this song! 👏
My God - this is the first thing I've heard by this band and it's instant goosebumps.
Reminds me of Camel, Genesis and all that's best in prog!
One of the most beautifil things I've heard in 40 plus years of being alive
So good I didn't want it to end! Those vocal harmonies are uncanny. And only $3.99 to download from iTunes makes me happy ;)
Absolutely positively wonderful. The five thumbs down need their hearing checked. Just a phenomenal band, perhaps the best progressive rock band that nobody has ever heard of.
They just thought it was the downloading sign !
I have most definitely heard of Moon Safari here in the UK, and they are hands down my most favourite prog band by far these days and I am a long time fan of bands like Genesis, Yes and ELP. Moon Safari is up there with these guys as far as I'm concerned! 👍
This is the song that plays at the end credits of the world

Truly lovely from start to finish...love it!!
The image fits the music so perfectly.. beautiful and serene
Stunning!...love this track. Where on earth did this lot come from?...and how did they get so damned good in such a short time?
This music is quite incredible - like the Flower Kings but without all the challenging shit!
y16amp x they are from Sweden! Amazing musicians
Oh god this band just keeps getting better, great song :P
STOP GIVING ME GOOSEBUMPS ALREADY! :)

Moon Safari, Skellefteås Stolthet!
Masterpiece.
Love from Belgium....GREAT music! Love it!
Following the path that Yes discovered decades ago...
Heard this last night on EIMA and was instantly hooked! Shades of Flower Kings (no surprise there, maybe) but beautiful, compelling, emotional :)
Great stuff ... so glad I stumbled upon these guys!
On a par with the great epic suites of the great 70's Prog bands. Long live Moon Safari !!!
we're still here 2021
.....................A Love Song.
Wow! A musical master piece!!
Majestic and epic stuff it's fantastic !!!
They sound amazing. Too bad I live in Brasil, the land of the funk music.
You guys from Sweden are the luckiest people in the world !
I Love Angra.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Anyone who says great prog ended in the 70s should listen to this masterpiece.
And there's Big Big Train, Haken, Riverside, Mostly Autumn, Lazuli and many many more new bands who are making absolutely brilliant music.
Thanks so much for uploading this!!
now waiting for you all to produce a new album and have a great wish to see you all someday LIVE. prog on guys you all are the greatest modern generation progressive rock pioneers.
Ein fantastischer Longtrack... weiter so; go on like this!!!
Beautiful music. Love it.
Dude, your name is "Tormato".
Estoy redescubriendo MOON SAFARi Y SON REALMENTE MAGNIFICOS.-
My new favorite band!
Agreed! That was the worthiest $3,99 I've ever spent in my whole life!
They've gotten a touch closer to the Flower Kings sound. I thought their earlier stuff was lacking in guitar melodies but that has improved.
Red hot chili Peppers
Only not tone deaf
they have surpassed the flower kings in every way i think
아름답다.
magic happens after 19:33 that ending part and solo fukkkkkk heavenly godlike
I agree it's absolutely magical here
For me it's 5:38
Wow!...just - wow!!
YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
A person with music to touch synesthesia has described this song as like silk being pull across their face from the lower left to upper right.
For 24 minutes?
Fantastiskt stycke! Ska se dem i Alingsås i morgon... :-)
13:36 sounds like the theme on The Whirlwind by Transatlantic
yes it does, sounds like 1:30 of the song, from this video ua-cam.com/video/zIN0I8Cvotg/v-deo.html , for future reference
Those guys have listened to Starcastle. Nice work!
totally agree ..the synthesiser completely sounds like Star Castle.. loved that band ..love this also
and of course those harmony vocals ...loved Star Castle more than Yes because they had a more accessible sound...it never went over the top..allthough I never minded bands that went over the top but for some strange reason Yes was not my cup of tea ( but I do have their first three albums and all of the Star Castle albums, also their come back releases which are still amazing )
Indeed more Starcastle than Yes....i have this mini cd and it has slowly become one of my all time classics.
after 19:33 ..... magic
...wakacyjne wyprawy niebawem...
This is really good. Also check out "Yasgur's Farm" and "Bluebells." This band has a really nice epic old-school prog sound that makes your soul feel good. Love it!
heard Mega Moon on the free Prog magazine cd.Loved it!Just been on Amazon and bought the whole back catalogue!When are they touring UK?
Hi Charles...they are coming back to the UK at the end of November 2014 on a double bill with French band Lazuli.
Saw them at the Robin 2 in Bilston back in September and they were immense. My find of the year, and one of my fave gigs, right up there with Rush and the Neal Morse/Flower Kings/Transatlantic gigs.
Hope they play this again in full!
L O V E
this is good stuff

Update from a previous comment - reminds me of a cross between Starcastle and Neal Morse Spock's Beard.
Band: Moon Safari
Genre: Cute Prog
Put a jacket on and just enjoy the music. =)
流石、moon safariって感じの幻想的なメロディーとコーラス。
知名度もっと上がってもいいようなものだけど...
Does anyone have the lyrics for this song? Great tune!
Skellefteå Serenade? Vad kul. En tysk vän bor där i Västerbotten
What is the image still from?
hey, we use the same profile picture. weird lol
Yes! I heard this on the opening consert at Skellefteå, really exited to wrap my ears and soul around their new masterpiece!
This band was the finding of the century for me. As an old timer YES fan, I've
The most musical of all prog-kingdom bands brilliant musicians & vocal expertise fabulous harmonies ...I could go on & on
you guys are one of my greatest music heroes. love from nepal
11:53 of this song is literally the intro of The Truth Will Set Your Free!!!
Wow this song has got to have one of the most beautiful melodies i've ever heard in a prog epic. Thank you Moon Safari. You did good. You did DAMN good.
A incredible song .... Best progressive, thank you from Italy
Lover’s End, Part III: Skellefteå Serenade(paroles)
The mountain mob is on their way
Downtown with the '208',
To seal this summers fate
Mary's on the city square, she flashes her engagement ring to anyone who cares
All the poets are blunt tonight,
As Bishop's arms gone dry
The lonely lover's just arrived
He's tearing every doorway down
And invites the darkness again
& Tunnel's out tonight
All dressed up for one last bout
With dreamy eyes
They carry on as if nothing could break their hearts
The streets are slitherin' like a snake
And the shadows are standing guard beneath a killer moon
Mary's dancing to the beat of the howling mob to Merchant st.
One last retreat
The promise of the southbound train
Fades with every drink and dies with the rain
& Tunnel's out tonight
Stomp those high nosed bastards down in one last fight
Today we'll make a new Jerusalem
We'll meet again in cold december
Another night noone will remember
In the distance Mary's singing
"This is my hometown, yeah this is my home til' I die"
Under the cold light of God's street lamp, he walks alone the original supertramp
King of the sticks, mayor of madness
It gets us all in the end, in this part of the world
Ol' Rubberfeet if you could see us now
Five years have passed since your last bikeride
The city's outsourced and the factory's shutting down
Culture's been boiled down to a they all can sing,
But they've stopped believin' the words
Ol' Rubberfeet if you could see us now
Ol' Rubberfeet we really get you now
In this town the only movement
Is by the driftwood down the river
Let everyone and everything just drown in the dam and get lost in the deep blue sea
Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay
To those that didn't matter anyway
For years I've said goodbye to this old town
The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done
The chic elite and all the punks meet
Out on the porch, where we're all just rubberfeet
Burning the streets just like a wildfire
You'd better burn all your maps to get out of this trap
Ol' Rubberfeet our home has lost its soul
Ol' Rubberfeet, no heroes in this show
When autumn falls down like a curtain and all the roads are quite uncertain
The dream postponed just weighs you down
Face it my friend, you are stuck in this lonely town
Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay
Cheers to all the ones I wished away
For years I've said goodbye to this old town
The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done
I heard you're leaving the city
You're heading back north
For years I have waited for you to come home
But my bags they are all packed and I'm closing that door
And the songs I gave you don't mean a thing anymore
But you know that I love you
I'm never leaving, this place is my home
I hope you've sorted your life out
But I guess you're alone
I want to call you, but I'm much too proud
I'll try to catch your face but you're lost in the crowd
But you know that I love you
Life is but a waiting room
And I guess I'm still waiting there for you
I thought that I was only passing through
From the Sunlit hill to the Singing valley, I feel you everywhere
Life is but a waiting room
And I guess I'm still waiting there for you
I thought that I was only passing by
Some of us burn in beautiful ways
Some do believe that these are the days
I've wasted these years just looking back
But I've saved my best lines for one final act -
A bitter kiss off to the memories of you
Here's to all the friends that couldn't stay
And here's to everyone that found their way
For years I've said goodbye to this old town
The sky's covered in fire, now I'm done
I close my eyes, I'm home at last and all of the lost boys are here by my side
Your love's got me on the run,
But I'm never leaving my hometown
Your love's got me on the run,
But I'm never leaving my hometown
Talk about multiple EARgasms!!! Thank you very much Adultguj.
Много лет слушаю, и каждый раз наворачиваются слёзы после 14:36.
For me it's exactly one minute earlier at 13:36
amazing song. better than BTS for me. thx. Greetings from korea.

Tack för att ni la upp den här! Jag köpte skivan i Alingsås, men UA-cam är ju så himla bekvämt. Fantastisk bild också!
It's not fair that I'm in a video with more views. This deserves all the love in the world. I'll have to buy it ASAP.
Thanks for uploading this, the sound quality is superb! I hope they have an epic on their next album, they're amazing.
last third or so of the song.... so sphincter clenching.... in a good way..
Love this song... I've ordered it just a few minutes after watching this : )
track is all awesome, btw best part is at 12:00 till 14:00 imho
Nevermind, I got them from Tobias.
