Tobias is a songwriting genius. It is a shame non-metal lovers will never be able to recognize or appreciate his abilities. I listen to all forms of music. In power metal he overshadows most in the singer/songwriting/passion departments
Lyrics : Rousing from dreams, craving for someone Wept himself to sleep He's waiting for a sign from above Where is the love ? The hourglass in pieces, dashed to the wall The future is over Tomorrow's been slipping away And nothing remains He'd known it won't last forever She'd go ahead for a while When you open your eyes When you gaze at the sky When you look to the stars As they shut down the night You know this story ain't over When you open your eyes When you gaze at the sky When you look to the stars As they shut down the night You feel this story ain't over Where is the candle in this lonesome night ? Angel why are you so wayward Abandoning me, try my belief When life is not words and tongue is not answers And we only can't see a reason Why would it mean that it's not meant to be He'd known it won't last forever She'd go ahead for a while When you open your eyes When you gaze at the sky When you look to the stars As they shut down the night You know this story ain't over When you open your eyes When you gaze at the sky When you look to the stars As they shut down the night You feel this story ain't over ...
Sean Reddy I hope you don't mind it I totally steal that idea! Good way to make sure I marry the right person too, if she won't put up with that we aren't going to do well.
This song confirms it, Tobias absolutely must write an actual rock-opera Broadway play or something. His penchant for that type of bombastic, unforgettable melodies are totally suited for the stage.
i always listen to this song when i'm down or feeling hopeless... the chorus alone gives me strength to hold on and reminds me that its gonna be more to life! =) this song is so rebuking, somewhat rejuvenating... luvit!
i found this band yesterday and now they're my new faves, this is on of my favorite songs by them along with another angel down and lay all your love on me
sei la mia ragione di vita....sei il miglior cantante del mondo....avantasia e la cosa piu' bella che ho mai ascoltato....sei un dio...sei il mio dio...by paolo ava from italy
This song is one of the best of Avantasia. With Bob Catley they did something magical. I saw and heard them last year in Budapest and this one became the most beautiful moment of that night! :)
I concur. I listen to Edguy when I'm in a playful or excited mode. When I want something more mellow and more uplifting, Avantasia simply can't be beat.
A perfect song when you're writing something emotional, as now when i'm writing a history in Word. It's amazing the sensation it can gives you this kind of songs when you are doing something like that.
What a pearler! Bob at his best again, and in the live version his voice just STANDS OUT!! I'd LOVE to see this done at the Robin 2 in Wolverhampton, such an intimate atmosphere with the best acoustics for a small venue i've ever seen and to top it all , home turf for Magnum too...go on Bob, get Tobais and the blokes and those mega sexy backing singers over here...I DARE YOU!!!
ESTA CANCION ME RECUERDA UNA CHICA MUY ESPECIAL, LLEVO COMO 6 MESES QUE NO LA VEO Y NO ESTOY SEGURO DE VOLVERLA AVER, PERO CADA VEZ QUE ESCUCHO ESTA CANCION ME HACE RECORDARLA, LA CONOCI EN UN LUGAR, TODO PARECE UNA HISTORIA, ESTA CANCION ME LA DESCRIBE, ES MAS, CREO QUE EN ESTA CANCION! LA HISTORIA NO SE AH TERMINADO, GRACIAS TOBIAS TU SI QUE ERES UN BUEN MUSICO, GRACIAS POR ESTA POESIA TOBIAS ERES EL MEJOR......
sin duda una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado o tal ves la mejor! gran voz de Tobias Sammet de las mejor que he escuchado junto con la de Luca Turilli :D
Luca Turilli es guitarrista amigo, el cantante es Olaf Hayer (tambien cantante de la banda sueca Dionysus) menos en Luca Turilli´s Rhapsody que canta Alessandro Conti (cantante de Trick or Threat)
this song is awesome!!!!!! i cannot believe it its beatiful tobias sammet its a great musician out of edguy and metal have a magic touch for wrotte songs (sorry for my bad english)
My god... I gotta get some of this groups albums... Just found them recently... Kinda shakes my musical taste up, it as become quite stagnant as late... thanks for posting
He is most famous for being lead singer of Magnum (English power metal/rock band). He also has a few solo albums out which are more of a rock flavour. His voice is very distinctive and always reminds me of an English Meat Loaf!
This is Melodic metal as it should be , playing with emotions , i listen to Avantasia from the beginning on, and of course Edguy , and many other melodic metal bands .
i was watching a college humor video and this was related apparently. idk how. but i love this song. i found out about avantasia a few years ago and ive been dying to see them in america. rather excited about the new album sammet is working on!
Great song, great singers, great musicians, great band!! Bob Catley is even better live, and what can i say about Tobbias Sammet!?!?, he's definitley a genious, best thing that could happen to metal and music by far lately!!!!!
When this song finishes playing I say "The story ain't over" , and click Replay
Me too

Lyrics :
Rousing from dreams, craving for someone
Wept himself to sleep
He's waiting for a sign from above
Where is the love ?
The hourglass in pieces, dashed to the wall
The future is over
Tomorrow's been slipping away
And nothing remains
He'd known it won't last forever
She'd go ahead for a while
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You know this story ain't over
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You feel this story ain't over
Where is the candle in this lonesome night ?
Angel why are you so wayward
Abandoning me, try my belief
When life is not words
and tongue is not answers
And we only can't see a reason
Why would it mean
that it's not meant to be
He'd known it won't last forever
She'd go ahead for a while
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You know this story ain't over
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You feel this story ain't over

Ben Mazar you sure know how to copy and paste
Loved this track so much that I had it played at my wedding as we left the registry office.
Sean Reddy I hope you don't mind it I totally steal that idea! Good way to make sure I marry the right person too, if she won't put up with that we aren't going to do well.
theTenthlife go for it ! Hope it works out for you .
+Sean Reddy Nailed it
It's about a break up though! 😂😂😂
Bob Catley, The greatest story teller of all time. Awesome
+Barry Lee You're spot on! It doesn't get any better than Bob Catley. All his years in Magnum, his solo albums and Avantasia...just amazing!!!

I always have to cry when I hear this song. Thank you Tobias, Thank you Sascha

This song is one of the best of Avantasia. With Bob Catley they did something magical. I saw and heard them last year in Budapest and this one became the most beautiful moment of that night! :)

He is most famous for being lead singer of Magnum (English power metal/rock band). He also has a few solo albums out which are more of a rock flavour. His voice is very distinctive and always reminds me of an English Meat Loaf!
Probably, the best love song of the Heavy Metal...
he rocks and no scream nedeed, no electric guitar nedeed, that's what i call a singer ... awesome song
кто от MetalFamily ?))
ребят, дайте инфу, кто находил трек в апл мюзик или саундклауде ? нигде не могу найти(
Да пребудет с нами РОК ! всем мир !
Блин да зайди на рутрекер, да скачай всю дискографию. Там только the metal opera чего стоит
Que perfeição! !!
This is Melodic metal as it should be , playing with emotions , i listen to Avantasia from the beginning on, and of course Edguy , and many other melodic metal bands .
Adoro essa música!!!!
Tobias does touch ones soul!!!!!!!!!!!
i was watching a college humor video and this was related apparently. idk how. but i love this song. i found out about avantasia a few years ago and ive been dying to see them in america. rather excited about the new album sammet is working on!
Música maravilhosa.
O que é mais foda é que avantasia canta melhor ao vivo
Un deleite ver mujeres con excelente gusto!!
Verdade cara, quando eles tocam ao vivo é tão bom quanto em estúdio.
Just saw them yesterday Mann what a concert!!!! x3
this is fn brilliant....how can anyone dislike it ?
One of my first Avantasia Songs ♥
Great song, great singers, great musicians, great band!! Bob Catley is even better live, and what can i say about Tobbias Sammet!?!?, he's definitley a genious, best thing that could happen to metal and music by far lately!!!!!
Well, I'm still here listening to it almost every day, I guess that counts for something :)
Me gusta Avantasia! Muy muy bien!!!!! Yo amor Avantasia.
great song. Tobi is amazing
The story is over for my best friend, one of his favourite songs of this band.. RIP old friend
😔😔😔
Almost 500,000 views. Of course Avantasia deserves many million more views, but still a nice number :)
Awesome song!
beautiful music... that's true art !
a wonderful song!!!
AGREEEEEEEEE
Nice song & arrangement music....
Great song,, magnum brought me here x
great song!!! shows the talent and variety, creativity from sammet!! avantasia rules!
Es la canción más dulce que he escuchado en mi vida...
Wonderful Music!
Another classic then...Crying time makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck, and so does this, something truly special eh?
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my second favorite song from avantasia first is The seven angels... :)
Me enamore de esta canción
so powerful! I love it!
i cannot tell one song from avantasia that i don't like... their all great songs.
I have to agree with all the comments that this song is beautiful. This song is made for Bob Catley's voice.
Nope, yet I came across your comments several times. Seems like someone has good tastes in music :-).
Tobias knows how to make music ( I mean REAL music ), simply as that.
