Easily some of the most beautiful work I've had the pleasure of singing. Immense gratitude to you Thomas for entrusting me with your art and much love to the TSFH community who has welcomed me with open arms. I am truly grateful ❤
Thank you for providing some extra vocal magic to this piece!! I heard you on Children of Time and was really surprised and captivated by your operatic solo here :D
Thank you for working on this. TSFH always chooses the most talented vocalists for their songs, and this is no exception. Hopefully you will work on more TSFH music in the future.
@@AudreyMusic Love your voice Audrey! I'm definitely going to check out your other stuff. Thanks so much for elevating this fantastic piece of music. I hope to hear more from you in the future!
I listen to this album nonstop in the car and I just smile when my 12 year old daughter joins in with the vocals! I love that she has taken an interest to this powerful music performed by brilliant vocalists and musicians. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world!!!!
im always surprised how he can create so many songs and they still dont sound the same. even for its genre there are sooo many different existing shapes...i doubt i will ever be tired of it
@@pal100000 In heaven, there will be an infinite amount of songs to sing to God and worship Him with. Tons of different instruments, and sounds we have never heard before, angelic tongues, etc. UA-cam testimonies talk of actually “seeing” the music as it’s played. If you think TSFH is good, it will be a 1,000x better in heaven.
Someone needs to produce a movie called "Bergersen" and use all of his music as the sound track. I wouldn't even care what the movie is about - I could be blind and still enjoy it :)
Absolutely, It always makes me laugh how many people misinterpret their name as meaning like two footsteps from hell, like almost at hell, not realising that "steps" is like "stages". :) yup, to be "two steps from hell" is to be in heaven.
@@Maya-11 ah yes, thank you for that crushing reminder of reality, when Thomas's lovely music was doing such an epic job of allowing me to dream and escape it.... :/
You want me to listen to a 10+ minute long Thomas Bergersen song with a simple yet profound name that's the same as the album title? Well that sounds amazing so don't mind if I do!
Every time I hear a new TSFH song, I rank it in the comments. With a gargantuan scale, powerful horns and soaring vocals, I give this one a 10/10. This is now tied for my favorite with High C's.
And so the adventure begins!! Traveling across the calm plains, the wild oceans and the silent mountains taking in the world's wonder in its full glory. The travels isn't with out its pain, goodbyes, hurt hearts and sadness... But that is only a small part. There is much beauty, happiness and love in the world. You just have to find or fight for it. And that travelers is what makes life exciting... And makes it worth living!!!
Without Two Steps From Hell, Couldn't have ever found myself, not just the deep meanings of Humanity, plus the millions motivation and purposes. How can we keep thanking and cherishing these life saviors. My Life will not be shaped without your music. Thank you Thomas. Thank you! . . Congrats on Chapter I. Its just warming up! All the love and appreciation. ♥
when you click on a tune, and 5 seconds in the music makes you automatically sit back in the chair, relax, close your eyes and dream away... that's when you know you're listening to a masterpiece. Sooooo glorious, epic, fantastic, majestic, powerful, euphoric. Bergersen does it again! 10/10 !
OH MY GOD. I can hear a lot of music styles in this video, from a lot of cultures around the world: Japan, Middle East, China, Europe,... and many more that I cannot recognize.
After listening to this masterpiece dozens of times, I realized that our humanity is like a river sometimes it flows faster and narrower, sometimes slower but much wider. Whenever humanity faces challenges, we get over them. We adapt to the environments and change them if we need. Whenever opportunities are up ahead, we grasp them and use our ingenuity and hard work to solve problems and achieve new heights. All the people in the world, no matter what race you are, which country you are in, how your past was like, we collectively as humanity will never yield to difficulties and challenges, we grow stronger to beat them. Everyone has a chance to do something good for the world. Thank you, Thomas!
The video's been done playing for 15 minutes now but I still keep tearing up in sheer awe and beauty just reflecting back on it. Thomas, everything you've ever created has been nothing short of magical, but this piece, this piece alone, truly has the power to change the world.
By far my favorite from Part 1 Absolutely enchanting The use of different instruments from diverse cultures. Truly describes the beauty and splendor that Hummanity can give Well done Thomas, well done.
God, I have been spoiled with so much quality music from Thomas, Kevin punkin, amd Samuel Kim recently. I'm just going to vibe to all their music for all eternity
Oh my god. I clicked on this knowing I would love it. But GOOD LORD, this is now my new favorite. The scale, the orchestration, the pure amount of power!
This song once again showcases something I love about music. A song doesn't have to have deep lyrics to convey something. I'd even say that pure, powerful *sounds* can convey much more than words. And this album is, once again, a wonderful example.
Master Thomas I propose that you make a video on how you compose your wonderful masterpieces. How do you start and how do you put the choir and everything we hear in your beautiful music. Thank you.
This brings the heart and nostalgia of Illumina, Illusions, Dreams & Imagination, Skyworld, Welcome to Amaria, Two Steps From Heaven and Invincible in a single track! That familiar feeling but still original. All I'm saying is that this very track is HOME! Nothing else. Thank you for sharing your world with us Mr. Thomas Bergersen! You're an inspiration and got me into composing. Thank you Sir big time! 🙏
Beautiful. This combines all of Thomas’ styles and tricks. The soaring crescendos and deep diminuendos, the vocals reminiscent of both the Battlecry and Sun albums, and the neo-classical / Rock genre-fusion. Ethereal. One of the best tracks yet!
This song is intense. I mean, while you listen to this, you can feel how composer and all present elements brought the essence of the whole humanity's paths through history and time. This is a true masterpiece, I'm on tears. So beautiful, congratulations.
Listening to this song makes me feel like I am a superhero flying above a beautiful mountainous regions with glades and rocky streams. Absolutely magnificent
Томас вигадав нову музичну форму: велику симфонію вклав у короткий проміжок. Часто звучить як увертюра, але всі частини прослідковуються все таки окремо! Це як спочатку подивитись гарну екранізацію і сильно захотіти прочитати книгу. І не дивно, що Томас і «книги» пише! Поважаю академічний підхід, зачаровує. Дякую!
This reminds me a bit of Impossible, just for air/wind element, instead of water/ sea. I mean, it is a longer one with many different styles while always coming back to that one part it excells for!! (Just straight up amazing as always, espiacelly love the calm beginning which contains the main part already too)
This masterpiece from you... Was my partner for the whole last month.. I had exams.. And i was revising with it.. Imagine studying about the human body with TSFH!! ? U feel like cells are moving with honor and talking to you 😂.. Everything sounds different with TSFH ❤️ thanks a lot guys
Bergersen really pulled out everything, including the kitchen sink in composing this one. His creativity and senses of emotion and beauty are boundless!
Sublime !! J’adore 😍 , j’imagine quand je l’écoute, une chevauchée épique sur fond de temples asiatiques, c’est ce que cela m’inspire , vraiment magnifique. Très belle musique 🎵 encore une fois Monsieur Thomas Bergersen , chapeau bas.. ♥️🧜🏼♀️🇫🇷
I can't even describe how much I love this song! I got the album in the second day of release and I've been listening to it everyday since then. An absolute masterpiece!
TSFH never ceases to amaze me. Songs that sound incredible, are high quality, and are unique, are not something that we should take for granted. This is truly fantastic music!
I love the entirety of this track, but man, I could listen to that middle segment starting at around 5 min mark with the explosion of vocals on loop... absolute heaven
For those of us who have been listening for a long time, we can really hear some of the themes from your other works in this!! One of my favorites for sure. Edit: Gah, the longer this goes on, the more I hear! It's like a conglomeration of all of my favorite pieces by you guys! So amazing!!
Beautiful track, as always. Humanity really grabs my attention. The instruments go so well together. All songs evoke a lot of emotion, and each song is carefully put together. Beautiful rhythmical precision.
Thank you so much for the inspiration and courageous you guys gave me to keep me alive till today . If it weren't for the music I'm still burying myself deep with depressions . I found unlimited reasons for me to keep fighting and move forward with better future . Your music ignited my soul deep inside and it CREATED someone I'll become in the near future . Thank you Thomas and TSFH teams , my honor .

Did tsfh just answered and liked your comment??
@@louis.a9121 ikr? A very, yet appricitate occurance
Incredible, you managed to have TSFH and Audrey Callahan BOTH reply to you.
im always surprised how he can create so many songs and they still dont sound the same. even for its genre there are sooo many different existing shapes...i doubt i will ever be tired of it
Just wait until you hear the singing of praises to God in heaven.

Someone needs to produce a movie called "Bergersen" and use all of his music as the sound track. I wouldn't even care what the movie is about - I could be blind and still enjoy it :)
People would come 10% for the movie and 90% for the music
And Nick Phoenix ? ._.
It would probably star him in some capacity. Maybe as the protagonist? Or even the antagonist?
He'd be my first choice of OST composer if I ever made a movie
This is just a silly way of saying you enjoy his music...
The most epic thing about this..... It's only Chapter ONE!
Yeah and we can listen to more!
Six more Chapters to go, and Chapter Two will be released in November, it seems.
Wait! there is more than this???
@@adityoutomo9296 yes my friend now go nuts
@@adityoutomo9296 Chapter II is coming in November. And there are a total of 7 chapters to Humanity :)
If perfection doesn't exist, what is this music...?
Not sure why this isn’t two steps from heaven??
Perfection does exist, we just call it Thomas Bergersen.
@@Inkydee1976 because listening to it makes you feel like storming the gates of hell
Perfection may not exist, but Excellence exists.
A step above perfection
You know its extremely good when there's no bad song in the entire album
thank you! you're too kind! 😄
@@TwoStepsFromHell-Official THOMAS YOU'RE MY HERO lol
You mean there's even one two steps from hell album with a bad song in it?
@@maikenelissen3767 yeah, as far as im concerned, there are only good, better and supreme TSFH songs. The lowest level we have here is "real good"
a perfect album does not exi....
Hell is bad
One step from Hell is Earth
Two steps from Hell is Heaven
thats a good way to put it
Absolutely, It always makes me laugh how many people misinterpret their name as meaning like two footsteps from hell, like almost at hell, not realising that "steps" is like "stages". :) yup, to be "two steps from hell" is to be in heaven.
Nowadays it looks like Hell is on Earth !

That's a Wrap has also been one of my faves :)
@@Pramerios I know, right? It was the first TSFH song I ever heard.
This song shed a tear in my eye. Gonna cherish this song forever.
Ah, good choice. I have about 15 songs I too would rank in the 9.5 to 10 area of scale; High C's and this both are in it
Feels like a trip around the world! European horns, Spanish guitar, Mongolian throat singing, Chinese instruments, and so much more! Humanity
7:05 return to Earth? How humanity has advanced, and from there, where will humanity go?
And so the adventure begins!! Traveling across the calm plains, the wild oceans and the silent mountains taking in the world's wonder in its full glory. The travels isn't with out its pain, goodbyes, hurt hearts and sadness... But that is only a small part. There is much beauty, happiness and love in the world. You just have to find or fight for it.

Thank you Thomas. Thank you!

Congrats on Chapter I.
Its just warming up!
All the love and appreciation. ♥
Congratulations!
💘
Same here!
Totally agree 😄
11 minutes? He's spoiling us.
I want more 😏😏
More like our fandom unleashed him? ;p
I find it tends to be much longer if I leave it on a loop. Which I do. Every time I listen to it.
when you click on a tune, and 5 seconds in the music makes you automatically sit back in the chair, relax, close your eyes and dream away... that's when you know you're listening to a masterpiece.
Sooooo glorious, epic, fantastic, majestic, powerful, euphoric. Bergersen does it again! 10/10 !
A blockbuster movie in 11 minutes of audio. Featuring Audrey Callahan!
woop woop! Thanks so much! I completely agree, it's easily one of the prettiest songs I've been asked to sing
I never thought it possible that music no words could tell such a rich story.
That's why music is the true universal language.
Yeah... imagination is limitless~
Try Carl Nielsen and Grieg!!
That is the language that we are all can understand even we speak different language.
Sometimes, the title's all you need.
Let the mind do the rest.
That drop at 2:48, gives me chills everytime.
Wow. Just... Wow.
This is what steve jobs said right before passing on....he also said wow oh wow when he saw the afterlife. His last words
love it
6:20...the Erhu...beautiful. Thank you Thomas for such great music. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany!
One of the most beautiful songs you've ever written, in my opinion.
right
Wow. Zers. The epicness doesn't waste any time, doesn't it? Not even one minute, and it goes full epic on us! Me Likey!
OH MY GOD. I can hear a lot of music styles in this video, from a lot of cultures around the world: Japan, Middle East, China, Europe,... and many more that I cannot recognize.

Well said
I wouldn't complain if all his songs were this long. More to appreciate
The video's been done playing for 15 minutes now but I still keep tearing up in sheer awe and beauty just reflecting back on it. Thomas, everything you've ever created has been nothing short of magical, but this piece, this piece alone, truly has the power to change the world.
5:18 best part epic of music all time
Just In Time for Humanity
It is so beautiful
By far my favorite from Part 1
Absolutely enchanting
The use of different instruments from diverse cultures.
Truly describes the beauty and splendor that Hummanity can give
Well done Thomas, well done.
Ladies and gentlemen. Thomas has reached the top, and is only halfway up.
Think about it.
It sounds a lot like Empire of Angels in parts...
IT'S AWESOME
Exactly!
Welp, I guess I'm not alone
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! STAND UP! AND PAY RESPECT TO THE MASTERS OF EPIC MUSIC! TWO STEPS FROM HELL AND THEIR GRAND MASTER: THOMAS!

Oh my god. I clicked on this knowing I would love it. But GOOD LORD, this is now my new favorite. The scale, the orchestration, the pure amount of power!
So underrated, can be placed so easily near "Emerald Princess" and "Enchantress"
Perfect sum up for Chapter One !
This masterpiece totally deserves the title of HUMANITY ! 🥰🥰🥰
I cannot describe the beauty of this song!!!! I shall never get tired of it!!
Thank you soo much Thomas bergersen!!
I know the song came out before his passing, but @ 7:05 is just the perfect tribute to Morricone, and I bet he would have loved hearing it.
Which piece exactly do you refer to?
It is, isn't it?
@@unknowntimelord9557 none in particular, just his help in creating the Spaghetti Western genre of film.
Just imagine having the opportunity to witness this magnificent glory live. You will have lived a thousand lives.
I love the callbacks to Magic of Love (7:05) and Deliverance/Return to Sender (7:58)!
This song is a masterpiece. This deserves 100m views. Absolutely incredible. My favorite song from TSFH.
Words can’t express the supreme loveliness of this 💕
One of the Best songs ever made.
Honestly. Masterpiece after masterpiece.
I may start calling Sir Thomas the Piece Master.
This song once again showcases something I love about music. A song doesn't have to have deep lyrics to convey something. I'd even say that pure, powerful *sounds* can convey much more than words. And this album is, once again, a wonderful example.
9:05 absolutely gives me chills, definitely one of my favorites.
You never stop surprising me Thomas.
It is also great to hear some "Epic" songs !
yes. Yes. YES! HAHAHAHA YAAAAAAS!!! WONDERFUL SCORE, BRILLIANT! Filled me with goosebumps!!!!
Gracias Gracias Gracias. Hermosa melodía!!!!
