Realized this video just had its 10th year anniversary. I still trying to producing lyric videos and some years after this I made two official lyric videos for Van Canto. never give up your dreams! (the cat is still doing well btw)
A different style of barding for a beautiful song. As much as I love Blind Guardian, I can't deny that this song is (almost) unbelievably splendid in a cappella. Bravo, Van Canto.
Van Canto is really addictive... and the female voice adds a plus to the song. Not that the original needs improvement, but this version is awesome too.
Oh man, these guys are incredible.. I'm only finding them today for the first time and I'm so happy! My new fav band.. they even cover some of my absolute fav tunes!!!
Just learned about this band from a friend on Second Life. Was listening to their rendition of "Final Countdown" and I spoke up. "Do they do any Celtic style music? They have the right voice for it." so he linked me to this song. Yep, perfect voice for it! This band has a fan. :)
This, and Fear of the Dark are my favorite Van Canto covers. Didn't really care for their versions of Master of Puppets and Paranoid, but I'm in love with this band. Like, holy crap these people have amazing voices that just blend perfectly together.
Me too, I would never heard of Van Canto propably. I like their own stuff too, 3 Sold albums for them! We all sing along to metal songs like that from time to time but they make it sound GOOD! This must be hell to perform live.
Coming back to Van Canto 10 years later and it still blows me away! I don't know the band well enough to identify band members, but the main guy singing has an incredible vocal range, any song he covers he is somehow able to tap into an uncanny level of impersonation What an incredibly talented group
*Now you all know* *The bard's and their songs* *When hours have gone by* *I'll close my eyes* *In a world far away* *We may meet again* *But now hear my song* *About the dawn of the night* *Let's sing the bard's song* *Tomorrow will take us away* *Far from home* *No one will ever know our names* *But the bard's songs will remain* *Tomorrow will take it away* *The fear of today* *It will be gone* *Due to our magic songs* *There's only one song* *Left in my mind* *Tales of a brave man* *Who lived far from here* *Now the bard songs are over* *And it's time to leave* *No one should ask you for the name of the one* *Who tells the story* *Tomorrow will take us away* *Far from home* *No one will ever know our names* *But the bard's songs will remain* *Tomorrow all will be known* *And you're not alone* *So don't be afraid* *In the dark and cold* *'Cause the bard's songs will remain* *They all will remain* *In my thoughts and in my dreams* *They're always in my mind* *These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men* *And elves come close your eyes* *You can see them too*
Wer sie noch nicht Live gesehen hat, selber schuld. Live sind sie noch 1000mal geiler. Ich sag nur Rockharz!!! Die geilste Band des Festivals, Stimmung ohne ende. Klasse Band! Und nett sind sie alle, nicht abgehoben, einfach so wie jeder Festivalteilnehmer, gut drauf.
Estos genios debieron entrenar toda la vida parapoder cantar asi. El Metal rompe fronteras, y ahora, nos sorprende con este elegante, innovador y formidable estilo. Van Canto, es definitivamente, una obra de arte genuino
***** I'm 7 feet tall and have the voice for it. Haven't played DnD in a few months though, but last time my brother's friend played as a small girl, so I decided to be the sexy voice inside her head that tells her naughty things. The fact that he had a spell to make his voice deeper made it all the more amazing.
First of all Blind Guardian is a awesome band and the bards song is one of the best songs I have ever heard. This cover is very good :) and van canto will come to my town 2010 to the Rocktower festival in lübeck .
I can just envision how you write the music sheets for these... BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM------ BARABARABARABARABARABARABARA-------- DUN-DUN DUN-DUN DUN-DUN------
@MeenToss Actually, Blind Guardian is one of the only bands that I believe doesn't use autotune. Hansi singing live sounds exactly the same, and even a little better, than album.
Such a great cover, such a great band! I've listened to them for several hours now (a friend of mine is live at the concert today, but unfortunately I had no time to join her...), so I have to listen here at UA-cam. Amazing, simply impressing... Greets, SD
Well, indeed it is very seldom to be able to actually talk out stuff in the comment section without one of the participants using bad language. So I appreciate that. And since we all love Spoony AND Van Canto, I propose we now are all happy and enjoy ourselves hand in hand!
I don't think the poster would, as this was a cover made by a (I believe Spanish) group called Van Canto. They have a lot of other great stuff you can check out too! I'd highly recommend their cover of Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark.
Adoro o trabalho da banda Blind Guardian. Adoro o trabalho do grupo Van Canto. Esse está maravilhoso, como sempre são os trabalhos de Van Canto. Gostei bastante do video, também.
tomorrow will take us away, far from home! No one will ever know oure names! But the Bards songs will remain! so true, so beautiful. Now i know whats gonna stand on my tombstone:)

Watching a cat frolic and derp around outside in a forest is strangely calming and it's making me kinda happy.
It's fun to watch cats just be cats.
I felt the same way
1,000 points for the term 'deep around' x'D
+Comical its a positive song thats why
+Comical It's a khajjit,silly person....but yes a cat
fourteen years, this video has been here for us
Realized this video just had its 10th year anniversary. I still trying to producing lyric videos and some years after this I made two official lyric videos for Van Canto.
never give up your dreams! (the cat is still doing well btw)
Gotta say it's awesome to see that you are still around.
That's a helluva happy cat you guys have (run into) indeed! :3
Anton Ågevall I love this song
Your video got mentioned on reddit today wanted to tell you I enjoyed it very much and I hope you got a big spike of views 💖
The chorus is so powerful and beautiful. What an amazing classic.
A different style of barding for a beautiful song. As much as I love Blind Guardian, I can't deny that this song is (almost) unbelievably splendid in a cappella. Bravo, Van Canto.
IT took me like an entire minute to realize " HOLY SHIT. THIS IS ACAPELLA" OH GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
I love this version. it's beautiful.
Woah, at least one of the singers does a REALLY good Hansi impersonation.
Impressive stuff.
I love both versions of this a lot but for whatever reason the opening of this one plays in my head whenever i listen to the original.
Absolute best version of this song.
This song is fucking amazing!
i must agree
I can't believe I discovered this 14 years ago...I'm feeling old..I'm still here van Canto I still love what you guys give.
Van Canto is really addictive... and the female voice adds a plus to the song. Not that the original needs improvement, but this version is awesome too.
Oh man, these guys are incredible.. I'm only finding them today for the first time and I'm so happy! My new fav band.. they even cover some of my absolute fav tunes!!!
This cover is as fantastic as its vocals. I'm on my fourth listen.
Just learned about this band from a friend on Second Life. Was listening to their rendition of "Final Countdown" and I spoke up. "Do they do any Celtic style music? They have the right voice for it." so he linked me to this song. Yep, perfect voice for it! This band has a fan. :)
+1 for a group of people who can actually sing. What a concept!
Have you heard their Primo Victoria cover? Pure awesome!
Excellent cover. I love how he even left the whisper during 'there's only one song left in my mind'.
This, and Fear of the Dark are my favorite Van Canto covers. Didn't really care for their versions of Master of Puppets and Paranoid, but I'm in love with this band. Like, holy crap these people have amazing voices that just blend perfectly together.
Absolutely love this rendition, kept the power of the voice. Beautiful!
The human voice, such a powerful instrument.
Great voices....The cover preserves the epic atmosphere of the original song!
But the Original is Original !
He is DOVAH-KITTY: DRAGON-CAT.

What an incredibly talented group
Tribute to my Bard in DnD. Brox the Half-Orc Bard! You died young but you died loud and in style!
Boybandhair so he was a heavy metal bard? Did he join the 27 club?
R.I.P.
That is the best way to go.
Ahh a fellow strange bard, I am a teifling bard known as arathor
My bard will never die! x)
*Now you all know*
*The bard's and their songs*
*When hours have gone by*
*I'll close my eyes*
*In a world far away*
*We may meet again*
*But now hear my song*
*About the dawn of the night*
*Let's sing the bard's song*
*Tomorrow will take us away*
*Far from home*
*No one will ever know our names*
*But the bard's songs will remain*
*Tomorrow will take it away*
*The fear of today*
*It will be gone*
*Due to our magic songs*
*There's only one song*
*Left in my mind*
*Tales of a brave man*
*Who lived far from here*
*Now the bard songs are over*
*And it's time to leave*
*No one should ask you for the name of the one*
*Who tells the story*
*Tomorrow will take us away*
*Far from home*
*No one will ever know our names*
*But the bard's songs will remain*
*Tomorrow all will be known*
*And you're not alone*
*So don't be afraid*
*In the dark and cold*
*'Cause the bard's songs will remain*
*They all will remain*
*In my thoughts and in my dreams*
*They're always in my mind*
*These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men*
*And elves come close your eyes*
*You can see them too*
Van Canto is just incredible. Never thought they could be good at a live concert. Saw them last month, it was just awesome
Wer sie noch nicht Live gesehen hat, selber schuld. Live sind sie noch 1000mal geiler. Ich sag nur Rockharz!!! Die geilste Band des Festivals, Stimmung ohne ende.
Klasse Band! Und nett sind sie alle, nicht abgehoben, einfach so wie jeder Festivalteilnehmer, gut drauf.
Long live the Spoony one.
bum bada bum bum bada bum bum bum bum bum bada bada bum bada bum bum bada bum bum bum bum buuuuuuuuuummm!!!
Wow, the voice is so fucking amazing, i´m seriously speakless....
Estos genios debieron entrenar toda la vida parapoder cantar asi. El Metal rompe fronteras, y ahora, nos sorprende con este elegante, innovador y formidable estilo. Van Canto, es definitivamente, una obra de arte genuino
All my bards sing this in DnD
Bren Tenkage Mine will soon do that as well
Bren Tenkage as they should
***** Nice.
***** I'm 7 feet tall and have the voice for it. Haven't played DnD in a few months though, but last time my brother's friend played as a small girl, so I decided to be the sexy voice inside her head that tells her naughty things. The fact that he had a spell to make his voice deeper made it all the more amazing.
The spooniest of the bards favorite song
Only Blind Guardian give me the feeling of awesomness with this Song.
First of all Blind Guardian is a awesome band and the bards song is one of the best songs I have ever heard.
This cover is very good :) and van canto will come to my town 2010 to the Rocktower festival in lübeck .
I can just envision how you write the music sheets for these...
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM------
BARABARABARABARABARABARABARA--------
DUN-DUN DUN-DUN DUN-DUN------
Love this version. The original holds a very special place for me, as it was really my gateway into power metal. Still, awesome cover.
I am totally amazed by this cover. The spirit of BG in 5 vocals together. Awesome!
I can't stop listening to it! And now I'm singing along! GAH!!!
i love this song is so peaceful
This reminds me of Smooth McGroove. I think it's a combination of the vocal style and the cat.
@MeenToss Actually, Blind Guardian is one of the only bands that I believe doesn't use autotune. Hansi singing live sounds exactly the same, and even a little better, than album.
Since its a "Blind Guardian Cover" the questions answers itself.
Its a Guardian song covered by Van Canto in a brilliant way.
I adore this version.
I swear this sounds like Hansi. Amazing cover.
Such a great cover, such a great band! I've listened to them for several hours now (a friend of mine is live at the concert today, but unfortunately I had no time to join her...), so I have to listen here at UA-cam. Amazing, simply impressing... Greets, SD
man this song its really awsome when blind guardian plays it, and with this guys it multiplies by 10!!!! really like this cover!!! awsome
It's amazing how much he sounds alike Hansi
Maybe because both singers are German x3
Tales of a Brave Cat :P
We need more songs like this. You can almost feel the emotion
15 years and I can still hear the “Hail and well met” after this song. RIP Counter Monkey
A Spoony Bard brought me here.
Did this Spoony Bard by any chance have a robotic companion?
And is he by any chance insane?
SiGhast The Spoony Bard or that peculiar, bespectacled fellow in the lab coat who is never too far from the Spoony Bard?
sozaj
He was too busy upgrading himself internally
***** Oh.
WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE
I love this song. It's one of my favorites on the album
one of the best collection of voices ever to be heard of, fantastic
Tandem the Spoony led me here.
Nice to see the crazy cat ladies have found UA-cam.
They ruled the internet for a long time actually. The internet is full of cats!
Well, indeed it is very seldom to be able to actually talk out stuff in the comment section without one of the participants using bad language. So I appreciate that. And since we all love Spoony AND Van Canto, I propose we now are all happy and enjoy ourselves hand in hand!
One of my favourites! Just wonderful!
Mmmm. You did a wonderful job of covering this.
This is smooth as butter.
I don't suppose you have the sheets available anywhere?
I don't think the poster would, as this was a cover made by a (I believe Spanish) group called Van Canto. They have a lot of other great stuff you can check out too! I'd highly recommend their cover of Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark.
DivisibleByWaffle van canto is a german group......
So they are! Thanks for the correction - I can't seem to keep bands straight anymore.
DivisibleByWaffle i love how you handled that.
"You spoony bard!"
Impeccable, from a technical point of view. Perfect polyphony. Not an easy thing to achieve.
Definitely my favorite song they've covered. Love it!
Who's Adventure cat?
This is truly an awesome cover, but with Hansi on vocals, its simply 1000 times as powerful and beautiful
Excellent vocal cover + footage of cat adventure = pure genius. Kudos.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
What's the point of lyrics/subtitles that cannot even keep up with the song?
❤❤❤
Great song.
Great band.
One of my favourite videos ever!
So so so great!
better than original lol
nope
nope
nope
nope
yep
that cat is God

Genious, saw them end of 2007 and love them! they're so awesome!
Amazing voices! This is awsome!
simply beautiful

So amazing good - love it. Favourite !
Glad this video is still available 🙂
...Why have I only just yesterday found this song? I can't stop listening to it. I just keep hitting replay... Love it. So. Much.
@DesertOfLight

MAy the World Be the Path to the Adventuring Cat! May the Ways be allways opened to you Mighty one!

Blind Guardian was first. Last year, they did an updated version of the song on their album, Memories of a Time To Come.
Adoro o trabalho da banda Blind Guardian. Adoro o trabalho do grupo Van Canto. Esse está maravilhoso, como sempre são os trabalhos de Van Canto. Gostei bastante do video, também.
Truly original and inspiring ! Especially with such an epic song !
