Ever so often I return to this song. It still hits me as hard as a teenager when I first heard it on a train platform on my way to my last year in high school. Going strong for 18 years and I realized I am now 36, have mourned, loved, laughed, raged, reconciled, promised, given up, pushed through, fought, lost, won, overcame so many things and the song still carries meaning and release after all these years. This is my song, this is my anthem and I will return over and over again until the day I pass and I won't regret a second listening to it.
@@mac11daddy6 How's that, exactly? The dude has his anthem, and some of us know exactly what he said up there, and echo every last drop of sentiment. Elitist? Not sure you know the meaning. People are allowed to run the gamut of emotions in life without being elitist.
NoSkates My past is much better than my boring: go to work all day, go to bed, wake up and do it again current life. I had so many amazing times I am happy to lived such a great life then.
I literally found this band 3 days ago and already I have 5 albums, probably gonna get more, and they are now one of my favorite bands. I really wish I found these boys a while ago, their music is absolutely amazing!
I actually became an IF fan through their 2016 album, Battles. Within a few months, I was listening to Colony and Whoracle. I love all their discography though. Each Album is good in its own way to me
I don’t understand why this is considered their bad song. this is one of the best they’ve made. Great music, composition and good vocals. My favourite of inflames.
@Some Kind of Master Exact, And IF did Only Great Music, xD They changed they style over the time.. yes they did, but theyre still one of worlds best bands an musicians.. 30 Years on stage these are LEGENDARYS IN FLAMES WE TRUST
'Cause this album was garbage back in the day... they changed a lot man after Whoracle... This is the closest they get to the so-called ''Nu Metal' crap... after many years it sounds good but damn I hated this album for like 10+years it's true
My sweet shadow was my nickname for my pup who has gone missing . I’m about to go into the woods before day break to find him. This song has always inspired me and continues to do so
In Flames: My Sweet Shadow lyrics: I'm selling heavenly sketches A world out of my mind Ready to explode in purity to fill the holes inside An ever moving stream with glowing rays of light Emotions tied to pass lies and I know I should let go Tamed with confidence of a brighter future I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out! Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more Another dawn collapses Do I need to be reminded A glimpse of my safe home A path to hide all anger I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out! Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more In circles I catch A torch carried by the immortal From depths that I created In vain echoes fade Burn out! Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more Fueled, Dark past lies cold For you I look no more
I know this is dumb and wont resonate with many people, but In Flames, and this song specifically, were the soundtrack to my first experiences with MMORPG gaming (FFXI and WoW) in the mid 2000s. This song takes me right back to the epic open world battles that would erupt. It felt so great to have half a server rush to a zone and fight in huge battles with songs like this playing. I miss it.
That's amazing. Me and my roomie were playing XI when Take This Life came on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball that was playing in the background. We both looked up from our games and that was how I discovered my favorite band.

I saw In Flames in Boulder Co in 2014 and they played their set, which was amazing, and then left the stage, after a few minutes they came back on to play this as an encore. This is my favorite In Flames song so them capping off their show with this made it the best concert of my life.
This was the album that opened the gateway to the rest of in flames and metal back in 2004/2005. The songs for my adolescent years lol I never thought Soundtrack was a bad album.
Very clean transitions! I remember hearing this on the radio in 2012 way past its time and singing the words in my head so I wouldn't forget to look it up once I got home.
@@ScottishMech nono its not their cover i heard first. I meant the cover done by Andreas Valken(i think...just search acoustic and you will find it!) Maybe there is also a in flames acoustic cover but i dont know
One of my all-time favorites. I interpret it as self-forgiveness and releasing the person you were. You still reflect on the past and understand it made you who you are now, but you're longer guided by it. Whatever you're going through serves as the fuel. "My sweet shadow, to you I look no more."
Because "popular" music has duped the majority into thinking that "artists" who buy their songs and put them to computer generated bass beats/finger snapping, is cool.
I remember listening to this song while on a road trip with my late brother I was 17 then and everytime I close my eyes and remember that trip and being with him. He really has become my sweet shadow I feel him around me always
01:20 Everything is on fire in this bridge before the chorus. The lead guitar (no rhytm guitar), the drums, the singing, the backing track, the lyrics... Even the cymbals sound like something is burning! I still remember the summer of 2004 when I spent 24/7 listening to this album. I was 18 years old. It was hot and In Flames was hot and I used to scream out loud in the middle of the street singing along. The nostalgia is immense. If I had to choose one bit from In Flames and trade all the others away, I would pick between 01:20 and 01:28. I FOUND A FLAME IN THE BURNT OUT ASHES!!! Long live In Flames!
I saw In Flames twice and both times they ended with this song. Just hearing that outro, the lights going down and everyone cheering them on stage was just beautiful. Easily the best ending to a concert I have ever seen.
Soundtrack to your escape . A quiet place was the first I heard from this . mad album. But this is something else. Shadow my sweet shadow , to you I look for more.
This song tho... makes my soul come out of my body. This is deep meditation to me, when i need to think, when i need to bring back the man and the warrior within.. Thank you for this
I’ve seen In Flames live 4 times. One time they actually played this song at a show at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, probably 13 or so years ago. I kept screaming “my sweet shadow” and when they actually played it, I totally lost it. This band never lets you down during a live show. Forever my favorite metal band! They played so much music from Jesters Race and Lunar Strain too when I saw them last year ❤️
The synth backing to the main riff in this song, which fades in the outro, made this the perfect concert closer for a number of years. The image of the five dudes taking bows onstage while the outro to this song continues in the background, and the crowd screams, will always stay with me. What a metal epic.
I first listened to this song when I was in high school. This was the first song from In Flames I ever listened to. To this day, this is still not only my favorite one from In Flames (my favorite band), but also my favorite song in general. And I listen to a lot of music!
This song changed my life for the better for ever. I saw them some times live at their prime. Arvikafestivalen in Arvika, local gig in my hometime Karlstad, Metaltown in Göteborg. It resonates so well with me and so many others. Long Live In Flames.
Same. I moved on to something more mainstream and now coming back to the melo-death scene is like finding a whole new world. Just as refreshing as it was back in 2006 when I first heard it.
:D it always reminds me of those awesome times when I did not know english and every lyrics of a foreign band was an exercise in figuring out a russian-sounding close version of it
Been a fan since day one. Seen them several times live. This song is awesome and powerful. They are the best, and I will forever be a fan. My favorite song from them.
This song will always be my favorite metal songs. My taste in music is every where these days, but when it come to my favorite metal song its this one ✌️ still listening in 2023. It's been a hell of a ride, yall. Shadow, my sweet shadow ❤️
In flames we trust
Still banging head in 2024 🤟🏼
Hell yeah
Yussss
hell yeh they finish with this on there 2024 tour insane what a great ban d
Their very fkin best song till this day! 🤘

these new shores burn
Elitist much?

That ending is so perfect for this song. makes me sad, reminds me of the past...
Look to your shadows no more my friend, all that matters is right now!
Yeah you right,, when was the Real in Flames
Then listen to old In Flames.
The past sucks. Spend as much time away from it as you can.
NoSkates My past is much better than my boring: go to work all day, go to bed, wake up and do it again current life.
I had so many amazing times I am happy to lived such a great life then.
Still just as epic after a decade. Suspect I’ll be back in 2030 as well.
See you then :)
We can hope so INFLAMES WE TRUST !
They only recorded this video in 480p def? Sad.
As long as it doesn't burn out until then
A decade? This song was released in 2004!
This track will always hit hard when you need it
When? If I'm deaf?
Hopefully blind
"Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more" Fantastic.
0:40 "I'm selling ham in this kitchen!"
After all these years I still can't unhear it!
2024 people where you at!?
Here we are
WE OUT HERE!!!
Rock FOR EVER
Here 🤘
Right here my G, rocking In Flames at least once every day
Saw them live in 2005 at Ozzfest. This song takes me back to high school. I am 35 now and this song still rocks.
The current tour has vip meet and great for under $200. Can't wait until Sept 28th. Going to ask about this song.
2:30 ”Where the fuck is my cake?” xD
HAHAHA
Never noticed that!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL
OMG 😂😂
omg hahaha. That's amazing that you heard that. Now 2:30 will forever be hilarious.
k, so at 1:34 he says "Don't box my scone!". We need to fill in the rest of the lyrics to make this song about baked goods.
I literally found this band 3 days ago and already I have 5 albums, probably gonna get more, and they are now one of my favorite bands. I really wish I found these boys a while ago, their music is absolutely amazing!
They are still legendary,I grew up listening to them. I still can’t get enough. They helped with my depression.
Same here lmao
I started with Ordinary Story on spotify lol then got curious. It's still my fave.. Great taste they kick ass🔥🔥🔥
I actually became an IF fan through their 2016 album, Battles. Within a few months, I was listening to Colony and Whoracle. I love all their discography though. Each Album is good in its own way to me
Better late than never bro
I don’t understand why this is considered their bad song. this is one of the best they’ve made. Great music, composition and good vocals. My favourite of inflames.
Maybe their best 30 songs are before Clayman album lol
pls show me those ppl who say this song is bad ....
Literally one of In Flames BEST song EVER!!!!!!
@Some Kind of Master
Exact, And IF did Only Great Music, xD
They changed they style over the time.. yes they did, but theyre still one of worlds best bands an musicians..
30 Years on stage these are LEGENDARYS
IN FLAMES WE TRUST
'Cause this album was garbage back in the day... they changed a lot man after Whoracle... This is the closest they get to the so-called ''Nu Metal' crap... after many years it sounds good but damn I hated this album for like 10+years it's true
I love how they go hard 0.5 seconds in, no intro just shredding, it just sets the tone for the entire song even though there are softer parts later on
2021. Still pure dope 🌹
My sweet shadow was my nickname for my pup who has gone missing . I’m about to go into the woods before day break to find him. This song has always inspired me and continues to do so
At 13 years old me to now 31 still with the flames.
True loyalty
The passion in this song is unreal
In Flames: My Sweet Shadow lyrics:
I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity to fill the holes inside
An ever moving stream with glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to pass lies and I know I should let go
Tamed with confidence of a brighter future
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain echoes fade
Burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Fueled, Dark past lies cold
For you I look no more
Thankyou
I've always thought that he is selling hell in this kitchen lmao....

Pat’s “retaliation” vid 😊
@@Jaguardragoon exactly this
I don't think people realize how legendary this is. I feel bad for those who only listen to mainstream music.
Well, I think it depends, In flames is pretty mainstream in Europe
@@ruiplas yeah, but back then it wasn't.
One of the greatest metal bands that need more recognition....
The funniest part I that this is relatively a mainstream band in metal world.
been a follower of this band since my old friend introduced me to them back in '04. Badass

Thank you, man
I listen to this song for years, never checked the lyrics (and english is not my first language) but now, I can say that they are cool!
In flames lyrics makes my hair stand on end.
I can't believe I've been listening for over 20 years!! Thank you for this awesome music
I know. I was so stoked when my mom bought me this album when it came out lol!! rock on brother.
Its 2023.. I'm still here with these guys. This is my favorite song by In Flames.

saw them a few times, this song seemed to hold a special place in their hearts as they encored it multiple times on different tours :) love it

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER AND BEST LIVE THANK YOU TO MY MATE AZZA YOU GOT ME INTO THIS KIK ASS BAND & KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK INFLAMES ROCKS🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

The golden age ended after Clayman

It ended when Jesper left.

Long time ago, this song got me into In Flames. I still think it's one of their best.
This song.. simply unforgetable!
Can you imagine the director for this video? Gasoline!!!! I need more Gasoline!!! Bigger, bring me the Sun!
🤣
Songs like these are immortal.
Who's headbanging to this in 2020 ?
This song changed my life for the better for ever. I saw them some times live at their prime. Arvikafestivalen in Arvika, local gig in my hometime Karlstad, Metaltown in Göteborg. It resonates so well with me and so many others. Long Live In Flames.
One of the best ever
This song is what got me into In Flames 12 years ago, never got bored of listening to it because it's incredible!
In flames music is just undescribable, nothing else on this earth can do what their music does to me
This is how metal music videos should be
Yea I agree with you as Metal is a concept not Satan worshipping.
Garbage of video but good music
Yes this is on point
Which metal though? There are literally hundreds of sub-genres each with their own style.
Personally, I think this video is kinna dull.
You need you need to get out more
Seeing them this week awesome
I love how filthy that beginning is. Super dope!! love in flames
Does any one else just come back to this masterpiece and just flashback from 2003. Was my favorite song
"Fuueeeled..these new shores burn" 🔥🔥🔥
simple but the best video clip i ever watch. love this song and this video good chemistery. my sweet shadow for ever guys
00:40 "I'm selling ham in this kitchen"
Damn, now every time I listen...
+Mark Perrott haha ;P
shit man now i cant stop laughing😂
+Jim Jordan Listening to this song for years and you made it surpass my wildest dreams.

Alright, I've listened to this under a Colorado night clear sky. Makes sense to my soul.
The feel this song gives is masterpiecely mindblowing!
No need for complicated arrangements
This will always be my favorite song.
2019, still one of the best songs ever :)

Still my favorite band after 13 years
Been a fan since day one. Seen them several times live. This song is awesome and powerful. They are the best, and I will forever be a fan. My favorite song from them.
Great video clip and underrated song
They've always had some of the best guitar tones out there
