There is something about Khan's voice , I don't care if he's fresh or burned out . There is some underlying emotion that is always present.Every words has emotional gravitas and it's never empty.
I dreamed about them reuniting and once they did I found out while I was working , It was quite a shock . Barely managed to keep my cool.
I'll tell you he's the single kindest guy working in showbiz. Every time I've chatted with him he's been world class.
2010: House on a hill
2020: Mansion by the ocean
Simone Simons disliked this.
2030: Palace on the moon
@@nirmalpaul13 lolll
@@victorcabanelas oh no, lol 😂
Both songs are great and both Elize and Simone are two of the best female vocalists in metal(along with others like Floor,Tarja,etc).
By no means do I ever intend to undermine the rest of the band, all 3 of them (Tore, Ignar and Arve are all exceptional musicians), but Roy has a special place in my heart. His voice always seems to help me control my inner demons and and lift my spirits! I will forever follow Roy on his musical journeys.
This is what we needed for a quality time during this quarantine.
We really need it, I loved this song myself.
Love at first "sight" :3 *.*
What quarantine?
Roy's voice is one of the few male beautiful voices I've heard. I mean there is something unique about it whether he is hitting low or high notes.
Roy Kahn 🙏. I have been listening to him for 20 years and will do it for the rest of my life!
The Mansion
Just like denial appeals to pain
She claimed his name to thrive
A virtuos kiss was all it took
To walk away
To leave the old behind
For he resembled all
The child that was forgotten
She may have had her doubts
The odds were all or nothing
Cause she wanted to live in a mansion
White and with a view
Be one with his world forever more
She wanted to live
In the mansion of her dreams
For all her friends to see
Be living happily
Two lives beside each other
Waltzing in disharmony
True love is hard to find
Whatever mourned
He shunned her cries
And looked away
To heal his heart
To find that love was far behind
And he gave her a deal
On a mansion by the ocean
If only just to shut her out
Cause she wanted to live
In the mansion of her dreams
No less
It had to be
Simple necessity
[Driving
Driving in my car
Down the highway
Shining like a star
No worry in the world
The road is smooth
The sun will set
And horizon turn to red
You feel you’re free
You’re rid of me finally
But you owe me just the same]
She wanders the fields
By the mansion
In lonesome majesty
With no-one else to answer for
She wanted to live
In the mansion of her dreams
Forevermore
Forevermore
As a fan of Kamelot ballads, this is one of my favourite songs from the album. The entire album is 10/10 though! My only problem is that it is too short :)
Same it needs to be longer 😭 it's all so good.
It's so soothing to hear Roy's voice. He's just like no other vocalist now out there.
It's actually hard to put into words how beautiful this is, so I'll just leave it at that. Congratulations Roy, Tore, Arve, Ingar, and Elize. This is one for the ages!
The best gift in this hard coronavirus times 🖤 Stay safe, stay home and listen Conception... This music is the peace for my Soul 😍❤ The voice and performance of Roy Khan is masterpiece 😍✨👑
Thank God Roy came back, one of the best ever! Also the band is great as well!
Khan's voice is just magic! I'm so happy he decided to continue with Conception!
Roy Khan's voice is such a unique experience. What a beautiful piece of art!
Elize was in 3rd grade during the Parallel Minds (1993) . Crazy to think about
I was a baby with less than 6 months when they released their last album in 1997, so I'm feeling pretty weird myself LOL
I wasn't even born😁
I was 1 year old
I was 3 xD
@@carin4139 well, that's fine to be young. Everyone gets older and dies though. haha
Never clicked so fast on a new video
I don't think a better song has ever been written
I just spontaneously teared up at how good Roy's voice is in the beginning.
Roy's vocals got so much stronger over the years with Kamelot. So much range and emotion.
Beautifull song. Love Roy Khan's voice, always full with so many emotions.
Elise is a Rock Goddess and Khan is one of the best in our lifetime!
Elize should embrace this side of her. So much beauty in her voice, usually drowned out by overproduced or overlayered noise.
A good producer makes a world of difference in getting the most from your talent. Roy and Elise have worked together enough now I have a suspicion he knows exactly how to get the best from her.
Please please please never and never stop singing Roy khan!!!!!!!! Your songs full My soul and heart! Never and repeat never stop singing!!!!
A perfect dose of Elize's voice 🤘 Beautiful ballad 💜
So glad to hear a piece like this on the new album. It would be a crime not having Khan sing a soulful ballad on any album.
Vuelvo y reiteró que gusto volverte a tener en el Mundo de la música gran Roy Khan.. Y que tremndo escucharte con Conception en estos tiempos oscuros para el mundo. :)
Y pensar que nos perdimos 8 años de esta magistral voz
concuerdo abismalmente contigo amigo, llega en el momento preciso esta genial agrupación
@@k4izer11 conception y vanden plas merecen mayor reconocimiento son fantasticas bandas.
Amazing! Beautifull! Powerfull sound and lyric! A masterpiece! Roy and company, you did it again!
Roy you are grand again!
Roy it's back! Thank you guys!
Esa voz es de un Dios 8 años sin ti jamás te perdonaré
Roy❤ love your voice, beautiful song 👏👏
I just close my eyes and ... it's marvellous!!! The voice of GOD
Wow...... wow.
La prodigiosa voz de Roy Khan te transporta a otra dimensión.
Me encanta esta canción ❤️❤️nostalgia cuando estaba en kamelot 😢 Roy Khan amo su voz es única 🥰
this guitar solo reminds me Steve Vai's "Gentle Ways"
pretty awesome!
Elize first and then tore jumps in the solo. Soooooo nice.
this song is outstanding
Spectacular. It wasn't my favourite after listening to the album a couple of times, but it's fantastic, and the addition of Elize Ryd is just perfect. What a fabulous album.
We light up a candle for hopes to be found, in our temples of gold we revive the chaos in our minds.
Eden echoes call the sultan to his feeble heart, his love for the queen being greater than she'll ever know.
Flying across the highlands, parting visions of what was once the Centre of our universe - now nothing but a melting winter Snow.
So we sing the anthem of life, and we Dont cry,
Cause after all we
Memento mori.
Amount of references hum :)
\m/
It's kind of like what Megadeth did in Victory
who do i need to credit for this?
Oof. Those feels 😭
Holy Hell Roy, you wrote an amazing story on this one and sung it beautifully. This is NOT just another version of "House on a Hill", it's a great piece.
My God it is so good to hear Khan releasing new music!
Roy Khan's voice is my absolutely favorite out of any singer I know. No other singer has as much emotion. I would marry his voice if I could. lol
Bellísima canción.
simply beautiful!
Thank you, I was dissapointed about Conception but this Song
Wauw, those lyrics, that voice, that sound, just wauw!
I love this one! ♡
Oh wow, I am stunned!!
Just amazing
Amazing! 😭🖤
Beautiful, amazing, awesome.
Omg its beautiful 💖💖
What a come back. 👍
Beautiful
my favorite so far
Amazing 👏🏼👏🏼
Guau!! Esta banda me sorprende cada día más!! Muy buena música; que genios!!
Breathtaking
It's só beautiful
I love this song! Hug from Buenos Aires Argentina!
Beautiful song!!! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Conceptions sound is hard to digest.why?
Because it sounds very strange and unique unlike the songs we listen to ..
Maybe a new trend is being set
Two incredible voices. 😷👍
Cuanta alegría tenerlo de vuelta mi estimado Roy.
I love Conception's new style of art covers. Brutal work!!!
Hi, Slavo 🙂 Cool to hear, thanx a lot! -A
@@arveheimdal66 WOW, one of my fav drummers answered me! A million hugs, man! Love you all in all of my heart!
Amazing as always Roy! May God bless you and your family.
"FANTASTIC"
Probably one of the best songs I have ever heard...
Pure beauty ❤
No..im not crying!!!
The Mansion? The theme reminds a bit of 'House on A Hill.' And Elize sounds a bit like Simone Simons as well
the house is on a hill, and this mansion is by the ocean
Kamelot vibes. Incredible.
The old Kamelot, at least. Go figure. Kamelot is nothing without Khan.
Elize is fantastic on this one. Also that part at 2:15 reminds me a bit of "Queensryche - Silent Lucidity" probably because of the strings.
What an amazing song, Roy Khan is DIVINE!
demais , quanto mais ouço, melhor fica... parabens pelo som
such a good song :)
I really want to hear this live. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the crowd.

Дуже дякую! 🇺🇦 = Thank you very much!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Esperando para el sub español alexita! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@franfranfrancantero2903 Listo! ;)
I honestly wasn't getting very excited about Conception because it seemed to me that Roy wasn't reaching the same power and emotions in his voice that he had with Kamelot. But this song changes that.
Have you heard Feather Moves?
It's just a different type band, but I understand what you mean
You are the best composer of the world ❤
Yes
Along with Waywardly Broken, this is a masterpiece!
bad ass solo.. I mean fucking so tasteful
Wow! The emotion! I can't get enough of Roy's voice. Who is the female vocals? Just as amazing and so well paired with Roy. Love this song so much.
Hi Julie! The female voice is Elize Ryd from the Swedish rockers Amaranthe. Glad you like it! 👍
@@roykhan2570 OH wow! I didn't know her name. I love them! Thanks Roy!!!!! 💚
Él grandioso Roy Khan desde inicios en Conceptión y Kamelot hasta hoy te sigo un capo
Hi guys, I have a question for Roy. How much time did you need to write those vocal melodies? I’m also wondering about how you thought of the falsetto parts in the choruses? It’s really unique and amazing!
Hi Mario! Rumor has it that Elton John thrashes ideas that don't make a song within 15 minutes. Can't say we work by equally strict rules, but some melodies simply come more easily than others. The melody for "The Mansion" was one of those. The main elements were in place after a few takes and we are still very happy with it. Falsetto came naturally. I really like breaking between head and chest voice within the same line or word. I'm afraid there is not as much thought behind it as you may think...or I may wish :))
Holy shit, Khan himself responds! Tate was my favorite male metal singer until I discovered Roy. Thanks for being you and blessing us with your instrument!
Tirita Kamelot!!!!
reading the lyrics, i imagine an hunted video like a mysterious movie with her walking the mansion alone for years and years and years
This question is for Roy - How was it singing with Elize Ryd on the same song again? Amazing song btw! :)
Hi Enes! Elize has always been a wonderful singer. Loved her voice from the first time I heard her on Amaranthe's "Hunger" and had a blast performing live with her several times. Elize has a very powerful voice, but I also love it when she takes it down like she does on "The Mansion". Looking forward to this part every time I listen back to the track.
@@roykhan2570 thank you so much for replying!! You've made my day ☺️
Oof. Shivers!
Best song on the album!
Won't be surprised if someday he ends up back in Kamelot not that would be a bad thing
I'd probably faint if that happens. I was crushed when he left, and burst into happy tears when I found out he was at least going to be singing again with conception
🤘😷
Hei, folkens!
Tore, I read that the original melody came to you during a walk in Sweden, but were you inspired by something you saw on the streets? Do you still have the original audio from your recording? :) PS: what a beautiful solo!
Roy, the way you wrote about vanity and especially your performance was amazing. How did you feel when Tore came up with his idea for this song? Also, I've seen some fans wondering if The Mansion is like an "answer/sequel" for "House on a Hill". Any thoughts on that? :)
Arve, your drums are always well performed and can definitely bring the necessary weight that the music needs. Do you remember the moment when you heard the song after Elize sent her vocals?
Ingar, Crest of Darkness doesn't have any ballads like that, but your bass definitely matches slow music. Do you have a favorite ballad in the melodic metal scene? Oh, congratulations on the 25th anniversary this year since the release of the first CoD release. :)
PS: I released a video review about State of Deception on a brazilian metal channel (HeavyTalk) of which I am a part. Many people mentioned that they heard the album after watching it. Happy to promote Conception's music! I hope we can do an interview there soon. Would be great! All the best guys! :) ua-cam.com/video/aI_2wniJb50/v-deo.html
Hi John, thanks again for your interest and kind words 👍
I remember this well, Roy had sung the lead track before and when I heard Elize I immediately realized that this was what he was looking for 🙂 Take care! -A
Hi John, thanks a lot for your support! It was nothing special I saw that I can identify as triggering the ideas, sometimes music just occurs without no special event or sight to hit it off. I think walking and movement may also stimulate the brain and trigger creativity. I still have the recordings I did on the iPhone somewhere. All the best, Tore
Thanks a lot John for your congratulations regarding the 25 years anniversary!
It's true that we don't have any ballads in Crest of Darkness, but there are some quite moody and atmospheric songs on most of our releases, but on most of these songs the bass doesn't really have an important very role.
But I like playing songs like The Mansion quite a lot, and the bass ended up to be quite nice.
Favourite ballad.... hmmm... That's not easy. I guess I'm not mostly into the most typical heavy rock ballads. If I have to choose one song I'd say Dead Babies by Alice Cooper. It's such a wonderful song! ...and the bass track (especially on the original recordings on the Killer album) is just fantastic. I wouldn't say it's very moody, but it fits the song perfectly!
Hi John! On first listen I particularly remember the mid part giving me this weird dreamy feeling. As you also mentioned the song has an absolutely fabulous guitar solo. Out of all the wonderful solos Tore have played during his career this may quite possibly be my favorite. "The Mansion" is not a sequel to "House on a Hill", but thematically they are definitely related. Best, Roy
Questions:
I am not going to be very original in my question.
I'm curious to know what story is behind the lyrics.
And on the other hand I would like to know if there were more options for the female voice or it was always Elize.
Thank you very much for your music !! ... and if you accept suggestions ... how about a live stream concert? Until April 2022 it seems very long to enjoy with you !!! ... 😄🤟 🥰
Hi Sonia! It's about a girl that chooses material values over true happiness. As for the female voice on the mid part; I originally tried this melody myself with a high and shiny falsetto, but it simply came out a little...eeehhrm...too female. Given the songs' lyrics it became even more obvious. Elize was the first singer we thought of for it, and the only one that was ever asked.
Streaming may well be an option at some point, but the fact that the band members live in different countries make things complicated as long as covid rules the nations. See you out there somewhere when this shit storm is over! Pardon my French ;-)
@@roykhan2570 Thanks for your reply Roy.
Nothing to forgive ... it is what it is. (shit)
Anyway, I hope to see you soon in the real world !! kisses from Spain.😘
I want to know the number of cds they sold just to know the fan base
I don't have compliments to describe T.T
Who started the idea of this song and how it was? it's my favourite on the album
Hi Alberto! Tore is the main man behind the chords and instrumentation of this song. At some point we "took it to the mountains" where we rounded things up and I eventually laid the melody down. Glad you like it, man! I really like it too!
@@roykhan2570 wow really nice to know It directly from you! It made my day, thanks🤗 take Care and hopefully see you performing live in 2022!
Glad to hear you like it Alberto! As Roy says, I made the foundation, but the final result is due to our good songwriting collaboration.
@@tore_ostby thank you so much! It is a Jewell of a song🥰
#art
oh and that 3:00 is sweet
I would like to know what's the message behind the song, what is it about? And what inspire you to write it.
Hi Alexandra! It's about a girl that chooses material values over true happiness. The inspiration source is somewhat personal ;-)
Thank you so much for the reply. It made my day.
Greetings from Mexico :)
Does anyone have the lyrics to that song? T.T
My English is bad, I couldn't understand it properly.
Anyone help me please.
