    LOVEBITES - Glory to the World lyrics:
    Everything around us will fall into dark
    When you keep on looking into the sadness
    Nobody in this world may ever be free
    My hearts will shiver and I can't take deep breath
    But rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light in this world
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
    Standing in nowhere and searching for meanings
    A sleepless night haunting us like a shadow
    A blur in the future, the fear of unknown
    There will come a time where we can leave everything behind
    Breeze are running through the land and endless to the sky
    Together we will make it through this deep night
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Time will come where we feel the love and the reason to be me
    SOLO: midori / miyako / both
    And rains will end, and nights will pass, griefs will purify
    The dawn will come and bring the light and lead us to a new world
    Grace to my heart, Hallelujah
    I know you really care for me
    So I leave everything in your hands
    You'd walk with me all the way
    Learning to love yourself
    It is the greatest love of all
    Wherever you go, this world that we breathe together,
    Nothing more precious

      Maybe, Joel seems to know his audience pretty good. Judgement Day is a great choice. Hammer of Wrath is only a good choice if you think the person would like a heavier sound. Some people don't like thrash metal, so you really have to have a good idea of what the person likes to choose which song to show them.

    Judging by the comments, people with such different musical preferences listen to Lovebites and everyone finds something different in their music. Such a phenomenal group. Personally, I consider Glory to the World one of the best songs of the band, and this music video is an audio visual masterpiece. From the first to the last frame. The live performance of this song in Heavy Metal Never Dies 2021 is not very successful. After all, this is one of the most difficult songs to perform live. But in Knocking At Heaven's Gate 2023, they handled it superbly. And this is another demonstration of the greatness of Lovebites.

    Joel, you are a great guy and I love your channel. Look at every guest you have. And I hate to criticize. But, this was not the best choice, was it? For this guy? OK, they shred, but the rest is Disney, as he said. But anyhow, he took it right and gave compliments where compliments were due, the skills. But will he explore more? Probably not. Did he like it? Probably not. Anyhow - we are all very grateful for your work to spread Japanese (and Mexican) music to all your interesting friends.

And I assume Joel said to him off line that they have less polished stuff. Personally I have a kind of love/hate to this video. Their playing is top notch. But there is too much production IMHO and also too much hint of religion. I know, and many knows, that the building it was filmed in was not a church. It just looks like one. It is a wedding ceremony building - remember, they are not Christians in Japan. They are Shinto and Buddhists. But, the vibes of religion is there. And so is the orchestral music that is as far from metal as you can imagine. And then there is that totally incomprehensible story line with that guy that finally sees the light from the Disney castle after having crucifixion wounds on his hands and feeling miserable.

      @@rolandkarlsson7072 1. There are about 9,000 Christian communities in Japan. The total number of Christians in Japan is about 2,500,000. The population of Japan is approximately 125,000,000 people. (This is official data).😊
      2. MV "Glory to the World" was filmed at the 'Casa d'Angela' Christian Chapel, which is used as a Wedding Ceremony Hall (Yokohama).
      3. To understand the plot of MV, you need to know the pre-history of the events that preceded the writing of 'Glory to the World'. Judging by your comment, you did not want to find out. Sorry. Nothing personal. 🤗
      Song "Glory to the World" written in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic swept the world, when millions of people began to get sick and die. The world plunged into the darkness .
      The Covid-19 pandemic came to Japan a little later than to Europe and America. The Japanese also began to get sick and die. The Japanese government declared a state of emergency. Due to the state of emergency, many Japanese were at home in self-isolation.They could not go to work or do business and suffered financial losses. Many people become depressed. The LOVEBITES National concert Tour was interrupted. The band was only able to play 3 concerts in February 2020, the remaining concerts (February, March, April) were cancelled. In one of the interviews, Midori reveals that the LOVEBITES technical support team suffered greatly (there was no work, all concerts in Japan were banned,, work in the studio was sharply reduced, etc., ect)
      4. “This guy” ... This is Jesus Christ who came into our World to ease the suffering of people and give hope for deliverance from the pandemic (from an interview with LOVEBITES).
      In the Music Video, the director added : the Church, the reincarnation of Jesus Christ in our time, bloody stigmata on the head and palms, a large glowing cross (Christian!) above Asami's head (after the second verse, before the guitar solos), Angels who sing (at the end of the song), Jesus goes to the church where they play LOVEBITES.
      The director added all this to enhance the positive impact of MV on peopleto convince that faith in the best (for religious people - faith in God) will help people survive all this horror that was associated with the pandemic.
      'Glory to the World' - this is a Hymn to the World (Humanity), which will go through the trials that have fallen to its lot (Covid-19) . This is a call to believe that dark times will end, millions of people will stop dying and life will be reborn. This song was written by LOVEBITES to support people (including his fans) in the most difficult moments, instill in them faith and hope for the best.
      From a music magazine : "Glory To The World is a track that Haruna also found inspiring, telling us it “had the grandest and most powerful first impression on me after listening to the demo. We (LOVEBITES)wrote this song hoping that it would cheer on the World in its current situation ”
      5. What you call "orchestral music" is synthesizers/keyboards. Sorry, but in symphonic metal this is the norm. The song 'Glory to the World' combines progressive and symphonic metal.
      From the review on EP : "The 'Glory, Glory, to the World' EP is about to be released as a physical product and it explodes with the icy power of metal madness that needs to be heard to be believed. The song 'Glory to the World' has a vast uplifting symphonic chorus and a twin guitar lead break section that would turn the likes of Maiden and Priest green with envy."
      6. This is not a Disney Castle. This is the Church in which, according to the plot of MV, they sing the song LOVEBITES.
      It's not just light. Jesus goes to meet the shining cross from the church (the light in the shape of a cross, which was above Asami's head)

      @@GrayFox14 Thanks for taking the time for the extensive answer. My main response - it should not be necessary to make an extensive research before you diced if you like or not like a piece of music. Your information give interesting explanations, but Darrin Perry that looked at this video had, of course, no such information. And that is probably true for 99.9% of those looking at this video. I guess you are quite unique in your knowledge.
      And yes, I guessed it was Jesus, which you confirm. Does not make it more interesting for me. The story is then even stranger IMHO.
      Regarding Christians in Japan, yes I know they are a minority. They are 1.5% obviously. Regarding Chapel Casa d'Angela, it is a wedding venue. There are lots of Christian wedding venues in Japan. And, of course, they also need to be Christian churches. But their main usage is wedding venues. In Casa d'Angela there is also a restaurant. I have no idea whether you need to be Christian to get married in such a wedding venue.
      Regarding symphonic metal. Yes, this is symphonic metal. And I like symphonic metal. And I also (kind of) like this song, or at least most of it. But, there is too much that is not metal IMHO, in particular in the quite long introduction. Its beautiful but boring. Also, several people that have reacted to this video have had doubts regarding Lovebites, if it was something for them, which I think is the strongest argument against using this song as an introduction.
      Now, Darrin is also called Mayhem Jesus for some (for me) unknow reason. Maybe he is religious? And Joel then thought it would be appropriate? I do not know.
      Anyhow, all this is not in particular important. Joel is doing a great work.

He does this consistently with Lovebites and Nemophila lately.. He'll do 10 Nightwishes, Warnings and Ren to just one of Lovebites or Nemophila, and just with them, pick some random song that even he has never heard of..He screwed up once with an early "Warning" song, and even admitted it, but apparently with Lovebites and Nemophila, he just doesnt really care. .Just no thought process beyond having an insider give bands a listen..
