+dustin steeves They look alike and sound alike. I don't think people are that far off. However, it doesn't matter. The music and the show is what matters.
+Xavier I'm the ultra noob when it comes to this band cause I just recently discovered them. Are all 3 Papa Emeritus the same singer? Would really apprechiate if you could answer me that question :)
+Gold Rush I think it's a safe bet to say that most people are aware that it's always been the same guy, but they like to play along with the band's mysterious identity gimmick. It really adds to their personality and makes them unique.
They probably did, this isn't recording from a camera, it's recording from the soundboard. If you really think there would be this little sound coming from a crowd, you need to get your head checked, it's not even possible to stay that quiet, even if you're not enjoying a show.
I wish I had been a Ghost fan during this era... I came in right as they transitioned from Meliora to Prequelle. No I'm not one of those "The current Ghost sucks" people and I love Cardinal Copia too, but there was just something about Papa III and the Meliora era ghouls (even after the lineup changes) that the current era seems to lack. Maybe it's because the first Ghost song I heard was Square Hammer, maybe it's because all these wonderful videos of the third Emeritus made me a diehard fan. I just wish I could go back to witness it all as it happened and even have the chance to see Papa live. Yeah I know it's all the same man under the masks, but the characters he portrays have enough differences and their own personalities that once you miss a frontman, you just can't go back. RIP Papa III, I wish you could come back for one final encore.
I heard this song on the digital station planet rock, and im absolutely hooked. cant believe ive only just found them. I like all their stuff, but Faith & Cirice are my top two. hard to pick. I'm 45 and I'm wishing for my goth days......
I just fell for ghost this last year.. just a great band but I wish like you I noticed them sooner but square hammer was mine and my 3yr Olds song.. he loves it... great voice
Man, this is awesome, divine, these guys are musical geniuses, Tobias without extra vocals, they play in such a way that no comment is needed. Thanks for everything.
I honestly do not know how Papa makes it through this song without a tear. I get chills and teary eyed simply listening to the song on my CD...as I know the REAL meaning of it. But on the flip side - - Papa sure gave a POWERFUL performance and so much respect for his brother in this performance. CHIIILS! I love this band so much! HAIL GHOST AND PAPA!!
@Austin Ivey idk man, the way I understand the meaning after watching multiple interviews is that his brother was his shining and his like without whom he could not see. His brother introducing him to music and rock n roll at a young age and sort of paving his way into the future. And also keep in mind his brother died just before opus released and I believe that last line refers to that. The "falling over the precipice" opposite is like rising out of nothingness and you sure know Ghost like flipping things around i mean just look at the logo lmao. But that's how I interpret it, a song dedicated to his brother but music is meant to be interpreted differently, peace love and hugs man! ✌️
These Acoustic performances really showcase TF's vocal talents and how far he's come in these past years. Papa IV is good, but Terzo is GREAT. Long live Papa III, miss you!
@@ricardocerezo7955 I assume so and the audience is probably also mesmerized. Tobias' voice, the acoustic guitars = mesmerizing, just as when I heard Opeth for the first time.
We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames. Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names. He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see. And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be. He is Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater. He is. We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed. The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void. He is He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see. And he is Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be.

My personal litmus test for the quality of a metal band's material is to listen to it done acoustically; so many acts can shred and scream but it all falls apart as soon as they need to tone it down. Not to say that the fully electrified songs do him a disservice or anything, but I love this performance cuz it really lets Tobias's vocals shine for the powerhouse they are. Great stuff, man
That’s really stupid. That’s like saying I test pop songs by listening to them in drop B tuning and death screaming. Acoustic isn’t the same as electric, even the cords are changed to make it sound good. You can’t just take a electric song and play it unplugged, I’ve played ghosts songs without them plugged in and they sound wrong because they aren’t made that way, these songs have the cords changed so it sounds normal and good.

In October of 2016 my best friend dropped dead. I wasnt a big ghost fan but he always tried to convince me.. I listened to this for about 3 days after.. He was a great dude.
Very interested to know if he's had operatic vocal training. His voice is beautiful, he doesn't take massive inhales inbetween lines, even the ones he holds for a long time. All that screams opera training to me! My Grandparents both sang opera & both funnily enough loved metal! It's funny to listen to a band & have your Grandpa nodding along then randomly say "That young man is a talented singer, he's worked hard on that voice!" Tobias is clearly very dedicated to Ghost & offering incredible performances, I'd love to know!
Regardless if you disapprove of what he's singing about. This is a beautiful sounding song. The melodies, riffs, and when everything is added on the track from the studio. Everything just blends so perfect. Just my opinion. Cheers.
Exactly. The blended guitars and the Rock opera style vocals and stylings blow me away. Just as the guitars and vocal harmonies blew me away on the acoustic version of Rats. Amazing!
I’m a Christian. I love this song. Absolutely love this band. I was told about them before my friend played it for me and I did nt care it’s phenomenal
Noticed the masks haven't you? They are ghouls masquerading as humans. They wear ghoul masks to make people actually believe that there's a human underneath. Think Team Fortress 2 Spy double agent wearing a spy mask.
I love the acoustic version, you can really appreciate Tobi’s great voice and the ghoul’s great guitar playing, WOW". Thanx for downloading this awesome video👍👍

Idk why but the shot of the Ghoul having a drink absolutely sent me, it looks so cursed💀
Am I the only one who just absolutely adores his body language? He's so majestic and glorious 😍
it's majestic and hypnotic... 💖
It is perfect
You looks majestic ;)

@@ryancyan9309 hahaha.some of these guys.....
He really put his heart into this performance
my god what a performance. Absolutely beautiful
+keasy84 tobias has beautiful voice and the only SINGER who makes me feel something.
+winston norrris lol @ all you people who keep thinking it's Tobias.
+dustin steeves They look alike and sound alike. I don't think people are that far off. However, it doesn't matter. The music and the show is what matters.

Papa's voice sound awesome in this one.
+Xavier I'm the ultra noob when it comes to this band cause I just recently discovered them. Are all 3 Papa Emeritus the same singer? Would really apprechiate if you could answer me that question :)
Gold Rush Idk, have you spotted any difference between Papa I, II and III's voice? I haven't.
***** I researched. It's always rumored to be Tobias Forge
Gold Rush SHHHHH,
+Gold Rush I think it's a safe bet to say that most people are aware that it's always been the same guy, but they like to play along with the band's mysterious identity gimmick. It really adds to their personality and makes them unique.
My beloved and unforgettable Terzo.
I don't mind people recording. But where I'm from, when the frontman invites you to sing, you sing.
Exactly.
Fr I was thinking the exact same... great minds lol
They probably did, this isn't recording from a camera, it's recording from the soundboard. If you really think there would be this little sound coming from a crowd, you need to get your head checked, it's not even possible to stay that quiet, even if you're not enjoying a show.
The crowd is partly muted.
Unreal. Too busy holding their phones to even give Nameless Ghoul applause after the solo.
I wish I had been a Ghost fan during this era... I came in right as they transitioned from Meliora to Prequelle. No I'm not one of those "The current Ghost sucks" people and I love Cardinal Copia too, but there was just something about Papa III and the Meliora era ghouls (even after the lineup changes) that the current era seems to lack.

I just fell for ghost this last year.. just a great band but I wish like you I noticed them sooner but square hammer was mine and my 3yr Olds song.. he loves it... great voice
This right here 💋🤌🏼
REALLY miss Papa III 😔🥺🤘
I need more acoustic versions of Ghost's songs!! Tobias' voice really shines in acoustic settings. :D
Tobias Forge has an excellent singing voice
Man, this is awesome, divine, these guys are musical geniuses, Tobias without extra vocals, they play in such a way that no comment is needed. Thanks for everything.
Amo!
We need a album with acoustic versions!
Papa is one extremely talented guy!
Evelyn Blackheart oh yess
when papa says sing it! you fluckin sing it you dont record with your damn phone!
Ungrateful bastard
Satan Damn right!
@@trashpirate9743 cause this is soundboard audio so it would on ly be instruments and the microphones
Yep
Exactly! Ugh.
I honestly do not know how Papa makes it through this song without a tear. I get chills and teary eyed simply listening to the song on my CD...as I know the REAL meaning of it. But on the flip side - - Papa sure gave a POWERFUL performance and so much respect for his brother in this performance. CHIIILS! I love this band so much! HAIL GHOST AND PAPA!!
By the REAL meaning, I assume you are referring to the death of his brother? If not tell me please, because that's what I heard it is about.
yes please enlighten us all
@Austin Ivey idk man, the way I understand the meaning after watching multiple interviews is that his brother was his shining and his like without whom he could not see.

@cheezyandgreasy but he wrote this song to his wife. he talks about it in this interview ua-cam.com/video/iA6S2hhwN8o/v-deo.html&ab_channel=VÄRVET
Something about the song is so comforting to me. I feel so safe when I listen to it
Though he does not desire adoration - we desire to give it.
We need more songs like this for him.
Who, exactly?

***** Satan
hybridamerica I want to quote this for Papa
Papa's voice and the guitars are on point! Can't WAIT to see them live in April!
I know! April cannot get here fast enough!
Where are you?I am seeing them in april too!! I'm going to Omaha neshow!
Shoowww***
+Moria Funck I'm seeing them in Baton Rouge.
Ooo! Okay
HIs pure voice shows what an amazing singer HE IS
still one of the best recordings of that song on youtube. His voice is gorgeous on this version, holy cow.
I don't care how many times I hear it...it gives me chills every time!
Am I the only one who now wants to see a performance of The Phantom Of The Opera with Papa Emeritus as The Phantom?
agreed
Oh my god I would kill for that. He sings in the perfect pitch for it too.
totally agreed!!!!!
Matthew McClain Tobias Forge make a the phantom of the opera 💖
the papa of the opera is there inside my mind
These Acoustic performances really showcase TF's vocal talents and how far he's come in these past years. Papa IV is good, but Terzo is GREAT. Long live Papa III, miss you!
I'd love ghost to put an acoustic album out there, this gives me the shivers! It would sell like hot cakes!
The acoustic version is so peaceful
Papa's put all his heart on this performance.
Hoping for a acoustic album,It would be Awesome!
It brings tears.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen
papa sings so pure and clear
I just started listening to this band a few days ago and I'm completely obsessed!
Tiffani Moreno te amo
same here, just 2 years apart from you
Same, but 8 years apart from you
Same here about a month ago.. they are one of those bands that come along every so often and you just can't stop listening to them.
Been listening since the beginning n can't stop listening. 🤘💀🤘
This is my favorite version of the song on UA-cam. So beautiful.
I love it when great bands do things like this. This version is wonderful.
the high notes at the end are on point!
His voice sounds amazing in this.
They are so awesome live, probably one of the best live bands, just crowd is horrible
They are enjoying...
@@ricardocerezo7955 I assume so and the audience is probably also mesmerized. Tobias' voice, the acoustic guitars = mesmerizing, just as when I heard Opeth for the first time.
Damn, a Tear just dropped.
I know right, it's like a beautiful fallen angel, singing.
That's what just happened to me
We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames.
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names.

He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see.
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be.
He is

And we are falling over the precipice.
These guys are amazing. They will go down as one of the great bands of this generation.
If I would have had the blessing of seeing this in person I would have been in tears at this performance.
I remember when this first happened... Those were some good good good times... I miss the simpler days...

Love that voice and the message that comes with. ✅
I'd love to see these guys live. Really talented musicians and songwriters. Great stuff.
Magnificent piece of songwriting here
Incredible. Such a strong voice. Not to mention the guitarwork.
I think I'm in love with this guy😘
Duel guitar and his amazing voice, yea this is going on repeat. 👌👌
If you see them play this song live in person you'll understand. It's a beautiful experience. ♡
This acoustic version makes a fantastic parady of many a contemporary christian worship song.
Total package voice, actor and moves brilliant! A little Bowie stage performance thrown in.
His voice is so amazing, that combined with his stage presence, they're one of my for sure!
holy shit this is beautiful. I cried.
He's just perfect.

Tobias has said he has absolutely no formal vocal training. So his voice just sounds like that 🫠
His voice ... Smooth as butter. Ugh... Making me melt. 🥵
Papa's voice sounds even better!
+Cannibal Bunny Of course! Because he's getting younger all the time :)
because the mask is more light weight and thinner so it somewhat moves with his mouth allowing better sound
+UpInSmokeBaby its paint
+Mr.bunny Slippers it's a mask 😂 they hide his real face. look closely
+UpInSmokeBaby is it hah they made it really really really fucking thin this time....although i do believe its always the same person
This song warms my heart and soul
Ghost is a musical experience.
I love that man so much ❤
I like when he switches is vocal range.
Papa Emeritus is an angel I swear
Angel of lucifur
A fallen angel ❤

that´s blood and tears from the innocents or ptobably jack daniels or wine, who knows
