The way Tommy delivers the, "Miss Angel told us..." line is pure storytelling through singing. Definitely one of the best vocal performances I have heard.
you are right..so many men leave their marriage because of problems in it, and then they complain they see their kids once in two weeks. I chose to stay even though my marriage was hell - but I got to see my boy everyday, and got to do things dads do with their kids. I will get to relish moments and gorgeous days as well as problems we had to fight through till the day I die. Dads should not take the easy way out like they do these days...
My father was a musician one of the big few in the state and I saw him struggle and we lost touch and I resented him for a long time this song hit home multiple times now that he's gone the crushing weight of all he held up this song drives me beyond tears.
Because the song puts you in contact with sensations from when you were younger. Every man, even the tougher ones, gets moved when facing feelings from early ages. It's like a momentary transformation.
Bravo man!!!! Seventh Wonder wrote one of the best concept progressive albums. I am 26, and although i was raised by Queensryche, who are the kings in that kind, i found myself stuck in this album for about 3 months in unstoppable playback! I really wish they come in Greece. They were on tour with the other norwegian favorites, Circus Maximus, but i didnt have the chance to go abroad to see them :( Congrats again!!
Hi Vampirereconsint. Since then I bought the album and have listened to it nonstop. ;-). The enitre album is beautiful and this is also one of my favorits!
Incredible Band!!!! I wish that progressive was more accepted in the states instead most of the junk that is all over the radio. Thank you Siiiiiiiilje for this vid!!!!
The entire concept of the album is centered around a man and his family. The man has been in a coma. Some of the songs are from the man's perspective in his coma, and others are from his family, such as his wife or his son. This one is from his son's perspective. This has been one of my favorite albums for years now. c:
The structure of the song is pretty interesting, the ending kinda caught me off guard the first time I listened to it because I thought I was going to kick into a higher section of the song but it just ends there.

I just heard this song for this first time. This is a perfect example of how great lyrics can be as a story-telling art. The song can seem so innocent, but the "glass by mamas bed", "I finished first, I turned in blank" and "when she does, the Muddy water helps her smile a while" told the story from the childs perspective perfectly, leaving the rest for the (grown-up) listener to figure out..
I don't get those two references - "glass by mamas bed" and "the muddy water helps her smile." Do you know what they mean? I assume the muddy water could be alcohol, but not sure.
Not Katatonia, but KAMELOT! ;=) I think his voice is extremely unique and wonderful: emotional, yet strong! I am so glad that he will be the new voice of KAMELOT! ;=)
The only bad thing about this song is that it's too short. Other than that it's just another great example that metal bands can write meaningful songs. This is freaking awesome.
es una pena por los que no hablamos muy bien el ingles porque asi no le entiendo bien a la rola, por esta banda estoy aprendiendo el idioma y lo que llego a entender de la rola me fascino, un gusto que existan bandas como esta puro metal progresivo
So cheesy?Mercy Falls is one of the best albums ever and is an emotional roller coaster with the story it tells.You should listen to all of it before you start calling any of it cheesy.
kai i love you and i don't want you to ever feel like i don't love you or just want you to come to shows because i want you to carry equipment.you're more to me than just a roadie.i know that my shows bore you.i'm not mad about that.the last thing i want you to do is push me away.i want to be there for you,i want to just be around you.to me you are amazing and i always felt that way.you are never a disappointment to me and i couldn't ask for a better son.
I agree with dumbox1. Seventh Wonder and Circus Maximus are the best progressive metal bands out there. I like Mercy Falls, but I think their previous album, Waiting in the Wings, is better. Both great freaking bands.
well you might wanna check that dislike bar then cuz some idiots disliked it. i dont think some metal fans understand some singers like solo melodic songs like this
7 years late lol but its because the dad is in a coma so the son will turn the radio on so he has something to keep him company while he is in the coma.
The muddy water helps her smile- good lord this is beautiful and devastating at the same time
I'm Sorry for my bad english, but...
What is a Muddy water?
@@luizcsf1 It's a sort of poetic way of saying alcohol
@@marfaretlillian1 oh, thank you.
@@marfaretlillian1 Margaret? Oh my God, i love your Lego Kamelot
That little sigh he does toward the end breaks my heart every time...:(

He is outstanding.
I've never seen my father. A sad song, and beautiful too ...
Something amazing...
He's vocal is PERFECT...
I wanna cry.. this was so F*****G good..
Boy shut yo sensitive ass up

Just dropped by this song by accident. I remembered my step son, his mom and I broke up. I miss him dearly
thinking about my own father while listing moved me to tears still crying
I couldn't imagine a day without my son. I lost my father as well. Beautiful song and incredible band!!
Cried several times thinking about died father :(
man i'm a man but this breaks my mind to tears

Honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard...and I'm 37 and heard ALOT of music lol. Seriously incredible band and song.
One of the best short acoustic songs in existence. The variation with the vocals is spine tingling.
Flawless vocal. As an aspiring rock singer I would love to have half of this dude's ability :-)
\m/
totally agree :D him and roy khan
Incredibly evocative. This song is capable of showing everybody their sadness upon the loss of a parent..
Not every ballad or piano symphony needs rainomood, this song is perfect as it is.
"If she finds out that IIIIIIII've been bad..." Damn that's awesome.
Three people have no soul. Simply beautiful!
I love this song and the whole album.
Hi Vampirereconsint. Since then I bought the album and have listened to it nonstop. ;-).
The enitre album is beautiful and this is also one of my favorits!
so teary right know. my parents broke up and my dad is gone, like hes dead.
Tommy! Best voice in the world...

Just received my copy yesterday, and today when I drove to work I sang til my own ears hurt. Fantastic album!

I fell in love with Tommy's voice
That voice...stunning.
Perfect Song
i miss my father so much
thnkx for the post, this is my favorite progressive metal band
seventh wonder ils sont trop fort!!!! magnifique album !!!!
şayet buraya bir Türk geldiyse tüm saygımı ve sevgimi onun üstüne adıyorum...

This is song lullaby for every generation! 😊

simple Wow this is one of the best ballad i've heared :'(
Karevik is da man!
don't wanna play another day without you :'(
I know right? The only other song I have ever heard that almost moved me to tears like this was, "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogleberg.
Love this song, he sure can sing!
first time i was touched so much from a song i almost cried [honesty]
Love this song.
Lovely
Can't stop listening this..it's like from other universe
@llavmorts I was on a concert with them last weekend x) They're amazing! I looooove them
daddy is here for me!for everything
When the kid has to leave, he leaves the radio on for his comatose dad to keep him company.
Magic...
Beautif song!
This song is the best song
I love this song :3 My friend showed it to me now I'm addicted to SW :P
Two persons with good taste for music.
Really great :')
muy buen tema, un saludo de argentina =)
Not Katatonia, but KAMELOT! ;=) I think his voice is extremely unique and wonderful: emotional, yet strong! I am so glad that he will be the new voice of KAMELOT! ;=)
The only bad thing about this song is that it's too short. Other than that it's just another great example that metal bands can write meaningful songs. This is freaking awesome.
It's like a song split in two, with two different perspectives (Tears For Father / Tears For Son).
his voice is perfect.. 0.0
The new kamelot,with such a voice he deserves;-)
es una pena por los que no hablamos muy bien el ingles porque asi no le entiendo bien a la rola, por esta banda estoy aprendiendo el idioma y lo que llego a entender de la rola me fascino, un gusto que existan bandas como esta puro metal progresivo
I bet now you master this language.
Manly tears!
I cried. like, I actually cried.
This is the best
Dad, I miss you
Great video :)
I forgot completely ... Therefore now I know the meaning of the songs as well. :-)
I cryed
I want Roy Khan sing this song so badly right now, it's beautiful !!
I have only Mercy Falls;( I have to find previous album!!!!
My dad died 6 months ago. God- that hurt.
So cheesy?Mercy Falls is one of the best albums ever and is an emotional roller coaster with the story it tells.You should listen to all of it before you start calling any of it cheesy.
@Siiiiiiiilje A video is being recorded for the new album
This is the song
kai i love you and i don't want you to ever feel like i don't love you or just want you to come to shows because i want you to carry equipment.you're more to me than just a roadie.i know that my shows bore you.i'm not mad about that.the last thing i want you to do is push me away.i want to be there for you,i want to just be around you.to me you are amazing and i always felt that way.you are never a disappointment to me and i couldn't ask for a better son.
My god this is good! Feels like I have goitre....
Goddammit ! I need more tissues.....
💖😭
Im bleeding over this track
..cause of the glass my mama SPILLED.
Why must the song end so soon! I wish there was an extended version!
The other short ballad (Tears For Son) is kind of a continuation with the lyrics bringing a new perspective.
kamelot fanboys everywhere.... seventh wonder is awesome btw
I agree with dumbox1. Seventh Wonder and Circus Maximus are the best progressive metal bands out there. I like Mercy Falls, but I think their previous album, Waiting in the Wings, is better. Both great freaking bands.
The lyrics makes much more sense when you know the story... and gets even more beautiful
I'm curious how he'll sing a. Ballet for Kamelot....it won't be be like this I'm sure, but its great he has different styles
@0zzyQsbourne Just search for it, I uploaded it a few days ago.
whyyyyy does this song has to end :((((
He'll definately keep Kamelot fans going over a great voice and a sexy man. He'll never be able to replace Roy, but he'll still be great.
OMG SOOOO AMAZING LIVE!!!! btw johnny is going to leave the band because he will have his 5th child or somthin like that
I thing the replay button is starting to feel violated.
>,> will he be able to really fill the shoes left behind by Roy Khan. hes got a voice but will it match the vocals of roy
id like to know if the song has a truly story
Best part is obviously 1:22
Gives me shivers everytime.
@Hauntingful
I meant think, not thing! Damn it.
the radio is to drown out the sounds of his parents fighting
Are you sure? I would think that Jereplofje is correct, when he says it is to keep his comatose dad company
well you might wanna check that dislike bar then cuz some idiots disliked it. i dont think some metal fans understand some singers like solo melodic songs like this
I dont really get the line
"ill turn the radio on"
is it so they dont hear him cry or....?
7 years late lol but its because the dad is in a coma so the son will turn the radio on so he has something to keep him company while he is in the coma.
