lyric video
music video - Розваги
Played this for a fanatic Christian at work one day and I guess he didnt catch the lyrics 'cos he turned to me and told me how beautiful it was. Asked me who sang it and admitted it could be played at his church. I think he was excited to introduce a new hymn to his congregation. He kept listening then asked me, "did he just say he's the spite that made me be?" and I said yes....and he kept staring at me...then asked again who sings this and I told him GHOST and he had the weirdest look on his face. I think i hurt him deeply, as if I tainted his soul. We never spoke of God or music again.
You should have said "uh I don't know i didn't hear it"
Well you made more for him then every brainwashers ever done for him :)
Thank god for makeing me an ateist ;)
And yet the song has nothing to do with what you're talking about...It can be misinterpreted about Satan but it's about the suicide of Selim Lemouchi, guitarist of The Devil's Blood who was friends with members of Ghost.
Great story bro😬
Hahahah
"¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡I'M SO EXCITEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*instantly starts slow acoustic guitar*
Alex's brain: excuse me?
I read your comment excalty at the same moment it happened on the video xD that was even more funny
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA metoooooo
*listening He Is*
When you wanna seem like a good christian but Satan is your lord.
Or if you wanna sound like yoda
Oohh my like is the 138th. Punk Rock points.
LOLOLOL This is a Chic-fil-A drive-through safe song
@@miamazingness HAH!!
Yes this is my new favorite song as I've been trying find something beautiful like this for my Lord Lucifer
Tobias has said in interviews the chorus is about his older brother, and a friend who both sadly passed away.
"He's the force that made me be?"
@@Stella-vp5zg Oh I thought he was talking about incest or something like that.
i think you're thinking of life eternal
So glad I already knew the jumpscare at the beginning was coming
Me not. I almost shit my pants because of this shit xD
@@servonic5401 Now we can understand that you are too young
what jumpscare?? lel :D
I wasn't ready :'(
I was a child the first time a saw this video...And nobody got me with it ever since
GHOST
YEAR ZERO
REACT TO IT
NOW
PLEASE
YES!
It's ok.
Y u s.
Yeah, he should've gone with Year Zero.
"And we are falling
over the precipice"
Gives me goosebumps every single time.
Omg me too!!!
I was just writing this on another of his videos - I learned the word "Frisson" the other day which basically is that sudden thrill/joy/excitement feeling we feel at certain parts of songs (and other things of course). Ghost are masters of this in every damn song whether intentional or not.
And I love that line too...frisson for me every time 🙂
For me it's The disobedience that holds us together. Great song!
As a devout Christian, I always feel really weird listening to this song because I love it so much
Don't want to be cynical or a twat, but why?
Why does that matter when listening to music - I'm honestly interested.
I'm a quite outspoken atheist and I have no problem enjoying some clerical music. I listen to pegan influanced music and some hyms.
I enjoy the music and for that I don't need to "subscribe" to the lyrics.
If I listen to - for example - the heathen hammer by Tyr - I don't think "oh wait they sing about a type religion I don't follow" I think, damn that's a nice rythm and song.
Same for example for "all around my - flyleaf" (which is according to the singer a hym of meeting YHWH.
If the music touches me (so to speak) I don't care for so much if I subscribe to the underline philosophical statement.
Yes Ghost is quite up front with the imagery, but it's only music.
Why, if you had read your book you wouldnt. Satan is the good Guy atleast far less evil Then the ‘good’ Guy.
I also had to unpack my feelings about this song for a bit and what I love is that it’s a pastiche of all the crap that goes on around organized religion... but what’s challenging is it mocks aspects of religious ceremony which can be really nice. So what it comes down to is intention, you know? It’s not just about the performance but the belief. AND THAT MAEKS THIS ACTUALLY AN INCREDIBLE SPIRITUAL BALLAD. Not because it’s hailing Satan, but because it forces a mainstream Christian viewer to reflect on their own religious practices and see what has genuine value and what is just neon and fog.
Alberich I also am a Christian, here are my thoughts on Ghost and their music. Just because the band seems to have a Satanic message doesn't mean you have to buy into it. However if it makes people look into the meanings and history of organized religion I'm all for it. This is from a life long Metalhead and the son of a Minister.
E Holt I should have read your comment before I posted. We see things the same way. Enlightenment to any subject is a good thing. Yes I listen to bands that have darker messages but in the end I am strong enough in my own faith not to buy in to it.
Ghost - Year Zero
Yes!!!
*Ghost - Rats*
Rats!!!!!!!!!!
🎶 *Them Rats* 🎶
Yeah but the Cardinal's dance moves are devilishly devine
I love how excited Alex gets when he hears a GHOST song. Being the obsessed fan I am, this is me 24 hours a day!!! KEEP DOING MORE GHOST VIDEOS PLEASE!!!
There is no such thing as an obsessed Ghost fan. Only proper Ghost fans. :)
This is the first time I actually watched the music video, can't believe how hilarious and it is.
"Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater" == Our father from below, our bountiful mother/teacher
There's at least three Satanic references in the lyrics: the beast with many names, morning star, and "shining light" (Lucifer was the brightest of God's angels before he fell). They also say in the song "he is insurrection, he is spite," and "he is... disobedience".
(As an aside: "Dis Pater" was originally the Roman god of the underworld, and his place in Roman culture was later subsumed into their adaptation/ripoff of the Greek Hades, ie. Pluto, the god of wealth and ruler of the dead. But in the context of this song, they're obviously not referring to Pluto, but to Satan.)
Lucifer (luxferre) is literally "light-bringer" since (in the christian myth) he gave "reason" to humans.
Also The Beast With Many Names is another reference
Naw I've been taking Latin for multiple years. It means "Our godly father, our nourishing mother."
@@georgebailey9231 The word godly is nowhere to be found in these lyrics. You need to put these words into context. Nostro = "Our". Dis is a negating prefix. Pater = "Father". And given that the "Lord's Prayer" is called in latin the "Pater Noster" you can see with the negation that the oposite of god is meant.
Did you know that Lúcifer wasn't the devil but some Roman or Greek soldier?
Ghost Dance Macabre!!!
This is a must!!! Make sure you watch the new video!
Dance macabreeee foreverrr
Yes this
Oh and year zero 🤘🏻
We are the ghost fun club 🤟🤘
Pretty sure Tobias is mocking those phoney "power of touch healers"....and church in general
I just saw Ghost last night live and it was pretty amazing to hear an entire theater singing this along with them.
Ghost - Dance Macabre next please! Love watching your reactions 😁
Yesssss, Dance Macabre's the dopest video.
😍😍
con clavi con dio and year zero by ghost are 2 of my favorite songs. Dance macabre is ok but I miss the old ghost :(
Dance macabre is bae
Daniel, what else must I hear by the band?
Ghost- Faith!!! One of their heaviest songs and one of my personal favorites..really great!
So good, prob my favorite, if The Light compelled me to pick one.
Faith is BAD ASS!!!
Year Zero is my personal favorite from Ghost. I’m a massive fan, seeing my second show this year when they play with Nothing More (another one of my favorite bands)! I don’t think my girlfriend will be able to contain my excitement as we drive down to see it!
*Alex:* That was extremely suggestive.
*Me:* Chuckles as he waits to see the rest.
Pause the video, click here: 3:14
Press the . button a few times until you see an image jump up.
That is one of the people who this video is about (Tony Alamo), and why Papa is dressed the way he is.
Choppytehbear1337 I was actually wondering about that. I had never seen the music video before, so when I noticed a little flash of something I was like woah what was that?? Thanks for clarifying!
4:06 also
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope 🤘(and yeah, this whole song is pretty much a parody, Tobias is funny as hell)
Noah Barnhart FUCK YES YO!!
Or Eyrie or Intra Venus. I think he would be into either of those. And of course, Painters of the Tempest, pt 2: Triptych Lux.
@@Phalse13 Usually I request Intra Venus, but I was feeling adventurous today lol
Yes!
React to Secular Haze and Monstrance Clock by Ghost ...epic stuff!
I guess you mean "monstruous cock" 😂
fun fact, the song is not about satan, it was originally written about his mother (and titled She Is) but tobias ended up changing the lyrics up a bit and renaming it to He Is. it's about his older brother.
BAHHAHAHAHAHA💀💀💀
If Lucifer is his older brother, then yes, it's about his brother.
The Morning Star is another name for Lucifer, not Satan and definitely not his older brother.
@@kiillabytezTobias said in an interview that it’s about his older brother and friend. Both who died. It’s not like this dude pulled it out of his ass.
You're spot on with your initial feeling that it's meant to feel like a hymn, and in that sense it IS ironic/hilarious/awesome. I can NOT get enough of this song AND VIDEO! They continue to nail it on the head with their tongue-in-cheek commentary on Western religion. Unbelievable
Devin Townsend - Kingdom (Live at EMGtv) or Deadhead (Live at Royal Albert Hall) !
One of very few artists that are 10x more fun to watch live than to just listen to the music of
I've been commenting Deadhead live for ages. Hope he does it. 😃
@@GarethAlan81 Yes Yes he has to do this. I laughed so hard, it was my first time hearing Devy. Loved it
He looks like a black metal Elvis tribute act with those sunglasses
It is supposed to be Jim Jones like as well as a spoof off of the morning TV evangelists with the faith healing/banishing demons. Except in this case being that it is Ghost its more like putting them in people rather than pushing them out.
I thought it was meant to be tony alamo
All the shots of him wearing the sunglasses wasn't the singer. He was on tour when the video was being made so his stand in wore sunglasses.
It was in reference to Tony Alamo
Definitely getting gospel Elvis vibes. I think they made his "sideburns " bigger to evoke Elvis.
Ah, I love this song. The dig at evangelical divas, and Jim Jones in particular, is too good.
This is actually my favorite ghost song, i even learned it on guitar, its super simple and sounds so damn nice lol. Excited for you to do more nightwish my man!
Ghost-Faith
Death - Voice of the soul
His face at 6:02 😂😂 I think we know that he saw! Please react to “If You Have Ghosts” by Ghost
As soon as I saw it was the official video I was like hmm he is going to have to censor the video, and I was about as surprised as he was at that moment that he did not.
@@nithia It's only that the shirt is partially see-through and not just actual naked boobs so I doubt that UA-cam would make an issue of it.
Yes the live one
His face!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Magical
Don't know what's better.. Tobias lyrical mastermind or Ghouls genius playing!
Tobias had nothing to do with this song creatively. He is just the singer.
@@wyattsunkel1048 Yeah, I know. It was one of the Ghouls. I was talking in general
Tobias plays every instrument on the record
@@GODHATESADOPTION except the drums. That's Ludvig Kennberg.
@@wyattsunkel1048 sorry not true. Ghost is only Tobias.
Interesting fact about this song... Though it was released on the Meliora album, it was written for an earlier album but the song was pushed aside until Meliora. It was also originally named and written as "She is" and was renamed for the new album.
Love this song dude! Thanks for reacting to it :D
Love this track, glad you finally got round to it
I’m seeing Ghost in two weeks and I can’t wait!!! Perfect timing for a Ghost Reaction Alex!
You should react to "Dance Macabre" by Ghost, "All Nightmare Long" by Metallica, or "Devil's Bleeding Crown" by Volbeat. Or just do a mega episode and do all three, not sure your ears could handle it though Alex, that's a lot of awesome in just three songs. Keep up the good work.
Addison Small ALL THREE OF THOSE ARE REACTIONS IVE BEEN WAITNG FOR. He really needs to start listening to some Volbeat.
Please react to:
Kamelot Liar Liar
Arch Enemy- World is yours
The songs have meaning and heck ton of energy.
"Blast some Ghost outside some churches"
I'm wheezing. 😂😂😂
THANK YOU ALEX for shining light on Ghost. I'm a super fan and found your videos binging on Ghost videos...I love that you love them!!!
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT U ALSO DID REACT VIDEOS FOR GHOST, I'M SO HAPPY RN
Do some Sabaton bruh! Ghost division, Shiroyama, anything :D
INTO THE MOTHERLAND THE GERMAN ARMY MARCHED
Epica - Sancta Terra live with Floor Jansen
The biggest surprise I experienced at my first Ghost concert was how funny they are! I’m not a die hard fan that knows the whole “story” I just wanted to see them cause I liked their music. Was a wonderfully pleasant surprise to laugh so much. So that you laughed makes total sense
I saw Ghost live this past weekend and it was hands down one of the best nights of my life #ghostismyreligion 🖤💀
Arch Enemy - You Will Know My Name
Too bad Alex has only been listening to mainstream metal bands for a while now
POWERWOLF - ARMY OF THE NIGHT 🙏
Demons are a girl best friend too!!!
As far as videos go, this one is solidly among the best.
I cant express how much I love this bands execution of concept. If you watch thier interviews the satanic cult aspect is a show and alot of thier songs are about almost completely different concepts but they make every word and feel fall into the base satanic cult concept because they are extremely clever
As soon as I heard this song I went and learned how to play it on the guitar. Super catchy song
While She Sleeps - Silence Speaks
100x yes
Thanks for the video idea Alex 🤣
Thank you. I find this amusing as well. I absolutely love it.
DARK TRANQUILLITY - LOST TO APATHY
Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!
40:1 by Sabaton
M. Schultz II live
Tobias Forge is a funny frickin man especially live in concert some stuff he says is not appropriate for children at all
The wife and I have our tickets to see Ghost on October 11 and are extremely excited!! Love the great reactions. As you would say, FIRE, bro!!
Sick video again bro! Now for my 4th attempt asking for Volbeat!
Volbeat... Volbeat.... VOLBEAT!!!! Would love to see some RED FANG too... (BEST VIDEOS EVER)
@@SenninEcchi I would just love to see Alex get groovy and boogie 😉
I'm sure he will get there and I can't wait. Until then, i will keep asking, every upload! Haha
Hell yes Volbeat!!! Literally ANYTHING!! Such a fantastic unique sound!
Apparently the song is actually about/a reference to Tony Alamo.
Blair Bird it’s both, Satan and Tony. The video was definitely inspired by Tony Alamo cults in general
@@wearytravelerx1 yep and one of those individuals actually exist.
yes it is! And there is two moments in the video when they sing "he is" where they show a picture of him (its hard to spott but at 4:06 you can see the picture flash on the screen.
this music video is so hilarious. and youre spot on with your review
Don't think too deeply when it comes to Ghost's lyrics and imagery, it's just theatre, and more importantly, fun!
Slipknot - Eyeless.
Steel Panther - Death To All But Metal (ft Corey Taylor)
Eating ain't cheating, is there best one man 😂
Yeah dude! That song have some strong lyrics!
SHit yes!!!!! Of Fat girl! Or Community Property!
I loved the "I'M SO EXCITE- o.o" moment xDDDDDDD
I love this song really hard, honestly. I discovered Ghost thanks to you and for that, I'm eternally grateful.
React to Year Zero next please *-*
I have been listening to this band for a few years now and their whole act is very well thought out. The songwriting is no short of brilliant. I have seen them twice in concert and they are absolutely awesome. Listen Loud, Listen Often: GHOST!
Ghost - Rats / Mummy Dust pls :D. Like if you want him to react to it ^^
Mummy Dussst 💓💓💓
Arch enemy - the world is yours
GHOST - Dance Macabre! Your reactions are so great!!
I used to roll up to church listening to SLAYER
Dream Theater - Under a Glass Moon (LIVE score)
Dream Theater - The Glass Prison
Metropolis part 2 whole album🤔🌚
React to Opeth Ghost Of Perdition Live at the Roundhouse
It's a must bro
every time I see this comment on these videos I have to go listen to that song again.
He definitely needs to do a better one than the one he already listened to.
Alex your facial expressions had me cracking up ! Nice review ! Do more Ghost ! Review FAITH ! You wont be disapointed !
The genius for me in this video is how they hit all the marks in satirizing televangelists. The guy pocketing the offering had me rolling!
Nine Inch Nails - Closer!
Ghost by the band badflower. Going to keep requesting it until you do it! Lol
Watched Alex videos for a bit. If I ever meet him and he doesn’t bring this energy 💯 to all these react videos.
I’d be ok
Get that bread
Couldn't stop myself laughing at work watching your reaction to this.
EPICA- universal deathsquad PLEASE
goddamn fuck yeah
Please do Sabaton - Screaming Eagles
Absolutely fantastic choice.
Oh please no.... why Sabaton....😭
Fluppie haha Sabaton
Yes Sabaton
God tier
I love the Benny Hinn “tribute “.
Ive waited forever for you to check this out lol i Absolutley love this song its genuinly really beautiful and shows that they can do slower type songs very well such a nice riff and really showcases tobias's vocals i love the music video as well lol lots of shade to the church but its great please you gotta check out dance macabre then year zero
You got the point exactly :)
Alright Alex I’m back to spam your comments telling you to check out Eluveitie after watching in silence for a bit. “Inis Mona” or “Rebrith” could be good starting points from different eras in the band. Though I’m sure any other suggestions will be good too since I truly do enjoy all their music.
"it's interesting because it's kind of like what the hell?"
Yes.
Perfect interpretation to the song/video! (c: Ghost are wonderful...
I really wish I could go back and play this in Catholic school.
Cirice would be even cooler that for
Behemoth, Xasthur, Leviathan, Cannibal Corpse, Whitechapel, Carnifex... all the blood curdling shit that could be played to get a nuns panties up in a bunch and you’d want to play Ghost...
@@toyotaecw Well, why not? Ghost's "He Is" is more subtly subversive. It sounds like a contemporary Christian song... until you listen to the lyrics. It makes fun of the hyper-religious bullshit by copping their style, rather than being more abrasive. That's the entire point.
(Don't get me wrong. I like death/black metal, too. But sometimes, it's good to have stuff that kind of glides past your ears... until you hear a phrase that makes you go "Wait... what?")
Melissa Treglia If the entire point is to trigger someone, don’t be subtle about it. That’s my philosophy.
@@toyotaecw
It's not to trigger someone.
I would rather know what it is and my teacher say "Oh.. how nice you are finally listening to Jesus music!"
Then one day she figures it out and has the biggest flipout of the year.
I suppose that is still triggering someone. But it's different and more fun exposing the hypocrites. Maybe for "Gods" work?
I saw them live last Friday night🤘🏼
Ghost - Cirice ---> best song I discovered through this channel. I went ahead and heard almost all of their music including HE IS. Thank you.
ya gotta peep Rats and Dance Macabre by ghost. theyre bangers for sure. keep up the awesome work man, love these reactions
the wtf face at the beginning of the song was $ lol
Absolution by Ghost
I haven't heard all of their songs yet, but this is easily my favourite.
i cracked up watching the video when i first saw it, and i just relived it watching you watch it. lmaoooo love it bro. hilarious. pisses sooooooo many people off. Ghost #Troll
React to Avantasia - The Scarecrow (The Flying Opera)
The video is based on Jim Jones/the Jonestown Massacre, look it up.
Seems much closer to Tony Alamo to me
I would say a cross of Jim Jones, Tony Alamo, and generally any morning TV evangelists who pray on peoples faith for money. But based on the sexual tone (other than it fits for the whole Ghost church thing already) I would agree it is closer to Tony Alamo over all.
Actually there’s picture references of Tony Alamo in the music video. Cardinal even referenced Alamos shades in the video
Saw Ghost last Saturday here in PHX. If you ever have the chance to see them live, Alex... do it. They put on a great show.
Dude you reached to ice Nine Kills before and you need to hear either American nightmare or me, myself and Hyde. Both fantastic songs
Epica - consign to oblivion live at the zenith
Not sure exactly what times, but they flash a picture of Tony Alamo on the screen a few times in the video as kind of an Easter egg
It's easier to see if you slow it down
timestamp bc I'm not watching a 5min video slowed down 4 times so ill be sitting here for 20min and you could just as well be lying and then I would have wasted 20min

Awesome one of my favorite Ghost songs part of my unholy trinity He Is, Monstrance Clock, From the Pinnacle to The Pit
Lol when the song started he goes from "IM SOO EXCITED" to "huh??" Instantaneously
