From Summoning homepage: ''20.07.2013 Deepest respect goes to sonofavestal and 22valkyria for their fantastic fanmade videos On you tube. We salute you.'' True respect!!! Congratulations!
Most of the lyrics for this song are taken from a poem by Anne S. Bushby, 'The Soldiers Funeral', with the choir at the end taking lyrics from both 'Do not stand at my grave and weep' by Mary Elizabeth Frye and Tagore's 'The Gardener', for those curious.
Thank you! Such a wonderful act...well, I had to repay Silenius somehow for the tape of Minas Morgul he sent me some 15 years ago :) Never forget the true kindness. I salute the best band on planet!!!
My first time hearing this masterpiece. It caught my eye that there was a 270K summoning music video that I did not knew already. I am just blown away, the reverb, the guitar and the drums all mix together so smooth, and that voice, oh god ... I just hope someday some great tale ito be written just to hear Summoning tell it.
I'm always coming back to this song, blows my mind away! How can 3 people dislike this? But anyway it does not and will not change the magnificence of this song and band!
Summoning, oh majestic summoning, your masterpieces are happiness for the ears, a recreation for the mind, an event to share with fans, it is always a great pleasure to listen to you! Thank you for all my brothers!
one of the best songs on their new album. Pulled me into the depths of the Summoning spirit. Been a fan for over 20 years and on the verge of selling my soul to see them live someday. I never chose to be born in the US!!!! They will never come here and I can't blame them
I love Summoning, but I doubt most Summoning fans would say this: this is their best album. It's grand and gorgeous. I always thought they got off track with LMHSYF. The songs were so anthemic that I always thought they lost the Summoning mystique. It seemed to me like they were trying to cram albums into single songs. But this album is the opposite. It's like a long song, and every movement fits perfectly to tell a story. And some of the riffing is so beautiful, like in "The White Tower".
Well spoken, kinsman! I love several of the songs on LMHSYF(especially Farewell), but Old Morning's Dawn could well be their best album yet. I'm conflicted since I adore OB and it was the first album of their's that I bought, but perhaps Old Morning's Dawn is better? I hope we will receive the blessing of a new album in the years to come! hails \../
Hi SonoFavestal !!!! I hear now Summoning for a long long time! This is one of my favorites metal band. This band is just amazing. As others pretend to be the most fast, brutal, etc, Summoning is doing its stuff very slow, with incredible instruments. The real power !!! And your videos make this power greater, more incredible!!! Thank you for this work! Bravo (eeerrrr.... My english may be bad, I'm french.......... :( )
Once again... Thank you, for your Summoning videos,,, really, you've done something magnificent. Can't wait for the older stuff to image by you (like "A distant flame" or "South Away") I hope that soon Protector or Silenus will contact with you to become their official third member. Cheers! Thx a lot again! Hail!
A mortal reflection: Boromir's death, Valeria's death, Beowulf's death, childrens of medievial Scotland's death... but immortal music to awaken memory about fallen heroes.
I have no words for this amazing video. The song alone is in and of itself one of the Summoning's best song but, for me, with this video reaches perfection. It has everything, intensity, epic, wonderful landscapes and it's chilling. Congratulation, and keep up the good work ;) From Italy \m/
The Westbahn train from Vienna to Salzburg... It was autumn... Also it was foggy all the way, the mountains loomed from behind the misty curtains... There were villages, colorful brick houses... The train conductor bade me a nice journey when I told her I moved to the upper level so that I could have a better view... and as the train got nearer and nearer to Salzburg I saw many stony crystal clear rivers flowing between reds and yellows. It felt like a dream...
I'm sure you'll love it! I was disappointed at first with this album too, but as the time passed it grew on me and now I can't stop listening it! Fucking masterpiece!
Sounds a bit like Funeral March by Frederic Chopin. Same key, chords... well, I really enjoyed listening how you're devolving the same feelings and emotions, but refreshed. Great job Summoning!
not here for that reason, but what a heck of a video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! total cudos to them! cant stop watching.. Maybe they get their austrian balls re-attached and realize.. they do give a damn!!! lovin it since -91..
Can't stop listening, it's like the best elements of Marching Homewards, Long Lost, Farewell and Land of the Dead combined in one perfect beast of a song :) Song of the fucking year so far! ^^
I am still in my days of picking some of the songs from this album. Old Mornings Dawn, Flammifer. The White Tower & ofc Earthshine. Can't wait to see the day when I fall in love with the whole album like the rest of their albums.....
well thank you! I don't know what to say. I'm so glad my videos are thus popular, it's just unbelievable. so now I need to repay you all with another video and I promise I will, as soon as possible ;)
Mithril Melodies from the Shire. I still cannot help myself from picturing Wormtongue rocking the mic while the Ring Wraiths jam on strings and drum. White Handed Urakai, arms crossed stand guarding the stage while drunken hobbits and bearded dwarves, male and female, dance on the pipe smoke filled floor while others sit and quaff from their flagons and pints of MoonBrew.
haha I think not, that would be a hell of a lot job :) I'm still learning stuffs (special effects, production and that) and there will be more videos in time, but not all of them will be Summoning songs....anyway, thank you very much for appreciating my work man!!!
But after initial dissapointment, this and the White Tower have my blood running! And I haven't heard all songs yet. Also 7: 26 is downright perfect, reminds mer of farewell/land of the dead. And that's the biggest compliment I can give!
You made an epic video. Best track on this album! Thank you! Hail from Poland. I'll try to make your clip popular, among my fellow Summongers :) Respect!

True respect!!! Congratulations!
Nice man. Greetings from 2022! COVID hasn't killed us, so let's enjoy some good music! Don't forget to pour a pint for me and for summoning! Enjoy 🙂
wow
"Don't grieve for me
I'm not there
I am the gentle autumn rain
Hold up my lamp to light your way
Farewell to thee..."
Beautiful.
No, it's not beautiful... IT'S PERFECT!!!
it's beautiful, it's perfect, it's poetry!...
This shit ALWAYS gives me one hell of a Goosebump

Thank you
That's exactly why I came there. Thanks, mate.
Greatly appreciated, thank you
Where can i found them?
That's one of my favorite songs. It's to good, to call Summoning just a Epic Black Metal band. Summoning is the definition of epic.
From the heart for all Summoning fans. Best regards!
today I finally continue work on new videos...in the next months you can expect not just one, but few new videos...hope you'll like them ;)
sonofavestal Definitely looking forward to seeing them!
definitely looking forward to them. you have great talent in portraying imagery to compliment the flood of emotions that black metal captures. cheers.
Thank You
Damn you, nature! So beautiful...

I'm so in love with that song 😍
it's raining a lot today. I'm at my window; listening to this 👌
I couldn't help but think of Quorthon in Valhalla nodding his head in approval to this song.
That's exactly what goes in my mind too..
Hail to this most epic comment! \../
I'm always coming back to this song, blows my mind away! How can 3 people dislike this? But anyway it does not and will not change the magnificence of this song and band!
A true masterpiece. Whenever I listen to this song I feel like I've been through a journey in the cold forests of Scandinavia.
The best way to start a day after a bad night... It sounds full of life. ♥
Como pode o ser humano criar algo tão belo assim? obrigado Summoning
Realmente belo ...
An amazing warrior ode. Thanks for the person who made such an amazing work. Thanks for feeling the song like a true warrior soul.
A Intro dessa música é sensacional. Música perfeita.
Summoning, oh majestic summoning, your masterpieces are happiness for the ears, a recreation for the mind, an event to share with fans, it is always a great pleasure to listen to you! Thank you for all my brothers!
C'est un très beau vidéo ! Une très belle musique à écouter lorsqu'on est triste ! Gloire à vous, Summoning !
Безумно красиво и эпично!
RIP to my boyfriend Eric finnerty. I still feel you through nature.
Beautiful song ! This video is great ! A tribute to Nature and medieval-fantasy movies !
one of the best songs on their new album. Pulled me into the depths of the Summoning spirit. Been a fan for over 20 years and on the verge of selling my soul to see them live someday. I never chose to be born in the US!!!! They will never come here and I can't blame them
This is the most beautiful video I have ever seen

DUNGAELF GoldSmith I think Stronghold is their best album and this takes a close second...and Oathbound I liked more than LMHSYF
Youre right, this is a great album, i listen to it everyday
you're crazy or a brandnew fan, nothing beat minas morgul or dol guldur and like most great bands their early stuff is the best.
beyond my vocabulary to explain the depth of emotion.. beautiful
Daaamn... Old Mornings Dawn is 10 years old already?
Still the best album. Old Mornings Dawn and Stronghold.
Excellent, excellent job. The beautiful footage, and imagery perfectly compliment this song. I love it!
+1 to you!
My friend this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched! Thank you for your efforts in making it, much appreciated!

I have to salute summoning for all of their art! I often listen to this song when out in nature, hail from Norway
Lumnos cover it's very great! It's avaiable on the UA-cam, from the album Gratitude and Honor.
too awesome for words other than this song and 'Old Morning's Dawn' are my two favorites of all time on their latest masterpiece! FOREVER SUMMONING!
Incredible video for an awesome song! Excellent work!
You are an earthshined being. You are enlinghtened and your vid is absolutely beatiful. Thank you!
Amazing band from Austria & great video!
The place where I live, it rains a lot. The track is a homage to this amazing place we live in.
çok harikulade bişeymiş
This video, this song, this band... masterpiece.
Excellent work! Summoning inspires my music so much, such a great band.
I have no words for this amazing video.
The song alone is in and of itself one of the Summoning's best song but, for me, with this video reaches perfection.

I love Summoning! The video you've just made to this song is awesome. Thanks for that!
Must be the best song I heard, also with images of my beloved Chile
Great video with great music and lyrics ! Epic and brilliant as usual . Love you SUMMONING !!
I remember you from Flammifer. Excellent work, thanks a lot :D
This is ridiculously fitting. Must have taken you hours upon hours to create this, thanks
in my final hour, this song and this video will surely be among the last thoughts that pass through my mind, whenever it may be!
wonderful video, you made it perfect for perfect song, thank you!
so mystical and fantastic
Feeloning - Feelshrine
I think you did an amazing job putting this together. its beautiful and still grim and frostbitten.
thank you.
I'm sure you'll love it! I was disappointed at first with this album too, but as the time passed it grew on me and now I can't stop listening it! Fucking masterpiece!
1:52 "And all the chocolate-sparkle drops"
You're welcome !
5:24 Lost in chocolate shake.
Damn you
😂😂
Goddammit I almost stopped registering "and all the trumpets' mournful blasts" for at least a minute.
Man, you did it again! FANTASTIC!!! Summoning/Napalm Rec should hire you and you'll make videos for ALL Summoning songs hahaha
Sounds a bit like Funeral March by Frederic Chopin. Same key, chords... well, I really enjoyed listening how you're devolving the same feelings and emotions, but refreshed. Great job Summoning!
Have you heard the Edgar Allen Poe poem, The Conqueror Worm, read by Vincent Price, set to Chopins Funeral March? Do yourself a favor ;)
not here for that reason, but what a heck of a video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! total cudos to them! cant stop watching.. Maybe they get their austrian balls re-attached and realize.. they do give a damn!!! lovin it since -91..
Can't stop listening, it's like the best elements of Marching Homewards, Long Lost, Farewell and Land of the Dead combined in one perfect beast of a song :) Song of the fucking year so far! ^^
актив не досчитался еще одного😢😢😢😢😢…..
Really fantastic video again by you :-)
Cheers from Sweden
what a damn awesome video to one of my favorite Summoning songs. you rule! thanks for the vid!
I fall in love with this footage, please do something with "Might and Glory" . Another astonishing song.
Such a phenomenal song, the video fits it very well.
I am still in my days of picking some of the songs from this album. Old Mornings Dawn, Flammifer. The White Tower & ofc Earthshine. Can't wait to see the day when I fall in love with the whole album like the rest of their albums.....
This is the best Summoning video i've ever seen!
Good work!
yep, actually several of them. there are also clips from 13th warrior, braveheart and kingdom of heaven...glad you like it!
i love this song but i have to say dude you nailed this video so hard it gave me goosebumps, more please :D
Incrível, saudações do Brasil !!!
This is beautiful.
I gotta say, you nail summoning vids.
This song is so mesmerizing I couldn't do anything but sit and think about life while listening over and over again!
Hail SUMMONING!! \m/
Great job, just amazing!!

Once again, great work. It would be nice to see your work with some of their the older stuff too.

That was awesome! Brilliant editing skills mate
Awesome.
beautiful
Mithril Melodies from the Shire.
I still cannot help myself from picturing Wormtongue rocking the mic while the Ring Wraiths jam on strings and drum. White Handed Urakai, arms crossed stand guarding the stage while drunken hobbits and bearded dwarves, male and female, dance on the pipe smoke filled floor while others sit and quaff from their flagons and pints of MoonBrew.
I'm still loving this song
nice video man, i'm impressed!
Great video... favorite immediately.
haha I think not, that would be a hell of a lot job :) I'm still learning stuffs (special effects, production and that) and there will be more videos in time, but not all of them will be Summoning songs....anyway, thank you very much for appreciating my work man!!!
so gorgeous
Perfect..!!!
LOTR... Boromir :'c Awesome video dude
Just pure epic masterpiece!
I love the vid as much as I love the song
But after initial dissapointment, this and the White Tower have my blood running! And I haven't heard all songs yet. Also 7: 26 is downright perfect, reminds mer of farewell/land of the dead. And that's the biggest compliment I can give!
best clip i see in my life
You made an epic video. Best track on this album! Thank you! Hail from Poland. I'll try to make your clip popular, among my fellow Summongers :) Respect!
Tineless epicness!
well thank you! I'm studying video production, editing and special effects, so giving my best...
Amazing! Pure art!
Awesome video for the great song
Great, now I want to fall in a battle.
Thank you for making this vid. My soul shiver.
great song🤘🤘awesome
