"Baby...I thought I'd come along for the ride." T.T fucking love this album so much, even though I can cry several times if I let myself get swept up in it.
Any good recommendations? As for me, I'm really a fan of "into the electric castle" album from ayreon. I also love Coheed and Cambria but their story line isn't as straight forward.
Man, I still want this album to be made into a stage play. it's awesome. so visual. also the reference to the San bernardino Train crash. '89 was not a great year.
Your socks on the wood floor The moment I'd hoped for I'm terrified to think you might be real I curl up behind you Fit my body to yours like a shell I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed I've been waiting for so long To touch you and sleep in your eyes And now as my heart's beating so hard I hold on and keep you at home in my arms They tried to console me But you're all the consolation I ever needed Years of smelling the clothes you left behind The photographs that seemed so far away I don't need them now You turn to me alive, awake, and blinking, baby "Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile 'cause I never left at all You check the clock, it's time to go You grab your keys and you're out the door I step outside and you're waving goodbye It's all happening again like before As you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside I knock on your window, you stop just in time Around to the other side I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride." I've been waiting for so long (Time slows, and I take your hand) To touch you and sleep in your eyes (I hold you as we lose control) Together our hearts beating so hard Hold on, baby, we're almost home
I know it's probably not what the writer intended, but I love envision the end of Save Our City (8:10), the priest is shouting and rousing people to fight with a Bible in hand (ready to actually fight), but a little kid, just as the demons are about to jump her, kneels and puts her hands together in prayer, and a gold shield repels the demon back. And you see tons of thousands of angels protecting while others destroy and beat back the evil with swords and arrows. Just absolutely beautiful song and amazing album. Absolutely sobbed when he says "I thought I'd come along for the ride."
Oh baby, baby, how I lost my mind Time is quite the killer when you're left behind The airbag held you 'til the engine slept At home your pillow cooled while the willows wept They come and go, love (Come and go but they, but they) But they're all the same (D-da, d-da, da da, da da) Even big bad bad boys get scared at night It keeps them safe (At home, baby) I'm gonna throw this rock down (Gonna throw it down, let it roll) Tonight's the night (Tonight) I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose 'em when I) Gonna turn back time Remember in the summer when I held your hand On the southern shore finding fossils in the sand Oh baby, maybe someday you will find me On that beach beside you again They come and go, love (Come and go but they, but they) But they're all the same (D-da, d-da, da da, da da) Even big bad bad boys get scared at night It keeps them safe (At home, baby) I'm gonna throw this rock down (Gonna throw it down, let it roll) Tonight's the night (Tonight) I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose 'em when I) Gonna turn back time Here we go They come and go, love (Come and go but they, but they) But they're all the same (D-da, d-da, da da, da da) Even big bad bad boys get scared at night It keeps them safe (At home, baby) I'm gonna throw this rock down (Gonna throw it down, let it roll) Tonight's the night (Tonight) I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose 'em when I) Gonna turn back time I'm gonna save your life
@@zapper42308 I was just singing that not long ago XD. I love that one too, but honestly, my new favorite is probably Air Conditioned Love, I love the vibe it has.
@@angelganon8213 I think he is implying listening to IV first really sets the tone, similar to how some movies end showing the final scene(s) at the beginning and then show us how they got there
As a huge fan of this album and it's storytelling. I wonder if anybody here has ever listened to "The Deer Hunter" It's very much in the same vein. It's five albums with a total of five acts. Telling a story of a young man raised in the wilderness coming to learn about living in the city and the crime that comes with it. Should definitely check it out.
Save Our City Song by Ludo Overview Lyrics Artists Listen Mr. Mayor, the mission burns The zombies are marching, they close on the square Families are cold, look down at their souls Huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall Faith in their God, that's all that they've got Across the room, beyond the pane The whole world is churning, bleeding and burning, hailstorms and ash The moon is as blood Over the soldiers who sag in the mud Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Little boy, I'm just a man, a mere civil servant Against this tyrant God I've allied with our King, salvation he brings Protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent But the dead walk again, this is the end Oh I'm just a man, my time has come Long live King Simius! May he deliver us from this nightmare! And with a blast like the sun His lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Fought and fell for our great king We burned alive and boiled The dragon, red and wrathful calls We rise and march once more Cursed in death, we starve for flesh Our skin is cooked and curled We'll eat our kin and smash them in In Hell, we'll grind their bones Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Save our city Keep our souls, Lord Through the rapture of this world Save our city (Fought and fell for our great king) Keep our souls, Lord (We burned alive and boiled) Through the Rapture [The mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window] (The dragon, red and wrathful calls) Of this world [and cries out from the ledge to the people below] (We rise and march once more, cursed in death-) (Save our city) There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight (-we starve for flesh. Our skin is-) (Keep our souls, Lord) Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right (- cooked and curled) (Through the rapture) Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls (We'll eat our kin and smash them in) It's time now to rise and fight! Save our city! Keep our souls, Lord! Rise now and fight!
Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the speed of light, the diagrams and haunted sleep on frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams, your garden grave, I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die, the cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you never breathed again. The circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber bands, I lose control, they snap, I fall through mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood, the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant trees, through heavy air a demon shrieks, what have I done? What hell is waiting for me? CHORUS I crashed before the birth of Christ, pterodactyls swarming You died in 1989, just wanna get back to that morning in May Keep you in bed, never escape, holding you close, Listen to you breathe the evening glow of fading light and cooling space. Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped the phone, the burning flares, the steam, your hair, bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere, like winter nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined, to hold and keep, like petals pressed in sheets, making love to moonlight in our sleep. But now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide, that massive screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth, it's standing just outside, I must get to my machine, I will bring you back to life, fix your ruined lungs, I'll undo what time has done! REPEAT CHORUS I carve your sweet name into the cave, I'm sure to die All my strife has been in vain The glaciers come and wash my words away REPEAT CHORUS
I like to imagine this ended with either the traveler using a device that teleported them back home or both of them in the hospital surviving the crash
He gets in the car with her and dies with her. If he stops her from dying, he creates a paradox, one that would ultimately result in mankind going extinct at the hands of the dragon and the tyrant God. Also, he chose to die with her because the people that sent him back to the morning in May only gave him one day with her, he's saying he'd rather die with her in his arms than live the rest of his life without her.
After the rapture when he's speaking to the choir of angels and they send him back, he admits he cannot stop her from dying and asks to be sent back for one more day. While he cannot stop her from dying, they never told him he could not die with her. Also another take is that they only gave him one day. So he had to die with her.
part I: broken bride 0:00
save our city 3:50
part II: tonight's the night 10:27
part III: the lamb and the dragon 13:18
part IV: morning in may 21:34

Not all heroes wear capes...
"Baby...I thought I'd come along for the ride." T.T fucking love this album so much, even though I can cry several times if I let myself get swept up in it.
If you haven't sung "Save our City" at the top of your lungs, you're missing out.
THE TRUTH!
i know right😆
More like this whole album
I sang save our city at my 12th grade talent show >.>
Save our city, keep our souls lord, through the rapture of this world.
This was my first exposure to storytelling albums, and frankly? it was a great introduction
Any good recommendations?

Armor for sleep - what to do when you're dead, is a great concept album
The thumbs down are people who’s lovers didn’t travel to the ends of time and space to save them
Man, I still want this album to be made into a stage play. it's awesome. so visual. also the reference to the San bernardino Train crash. '89 was not a great year.
Someone adapted and staged it, if you google around you should be able to find more about it
Forever in my top favorite albums. Genius.
My emotions dont even know how to deal with this. Stellar. Magnificent. Adjectives.
Oh man it’s been like 10 years since I last listened to this and it still goes hard
Your socks on the wood floor
The moment I'd hoped for
I'm terrified to think you might be real
I curl up behind you
Fit my body to yours like a shell
I smell your hair, oh love, I can't believe you
I squeeze you to make sure you're really here and I'm overwhelmed
I've been waiting for so long
To touch you and sleep in your eyes
And now as my heart's beating so hard
I hold on and keep you at home in my arms
They tried to console me
But you're all the consolation I ever needed
Years of smelling the clothes you left behind
The photographs that seemed so far away
I don't need them now
You turn to me alive, awake, and blinking, baby
"Back so soon?" you ask, but I smile 'cause I never left at all
You check the clock, it's time to go
You grab your keys and you're out the door
I step outside and you're waving goodbye
It's all happening again like before
As you're starting the car and I'm tearing inside
I knock on your window, you stop just in time
Around to the other side
I say, "Baby, I thought I'd come along for the ride."
I've been waiting for so long
(Time slows, and I take your hand)
To touch you and sleep in your eyes
(I hold you as we lose control)
Together our hearts beating so hard
Hold on, baby, we're almost home
A CLASSIC!! i love this so much. keep coming back to this.
SAME!!!
The reprise of the first part when he destroys the machine always hits me so hard.
Goosebumps. Every time.
It always GETS me so hard
on god
Found this 10 years ago. Still tries to make me cry
I always say I'm not going to cry when I listen to this. And then I always cry. 😭❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one. HAHA!
Podcastage Ayyyeee you're a fan too!? Cool!
Literally every single time I listen to this lol
Literally ALWAYS cry which is why I try to not listen to it often... Maybe like once or twice a year, and today is one of those times. 😭❤️
Same here 😭

Just absolutely beautiful song and amazing album. Absolutely sobbed when he says "I thought I'd come along for the ride."
Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right.
And I call this one, "insta-tears."
Thank you for posting this in full. I love this story
Listens to album for first time.... furiously begins writing out movie script
This is really beautiful; my drama teacher says he proposed with one of these
the last track I couldn't help but imagine my husband the whole time and it makes me cry
Oh look, I'm crying.
This looks like going to be great movie. Wow. I am going to see it.
*uncontrollable sobbing*
Almost 2019 and still belting this shit out...
is 2019 and it still goes hard as hell
2021 and still listening
2022
Heard this song way back in high school and I never felt the need to cry then... what is this :'(
Oh baby, baby, how I lost my mind
Time is quite the killer when you're left behind
The airbag held you 'til the engine slept
At home your pillow cooled while the willows wept
They come and go, love (Come and go but they, but they)
But they're all the same (D-da, d-da, da da, da da)
Even big bad bad boys get scared at night
It keeps them safe
(At home, baby)
I'm gonna throw this rock down (Gonna throw it down, let it roll)
Tonight's the night (Tonight)
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose 'em when I)
Gonna turn back time
Remember in the summer when I held your hand
On the southern shore finding fossils in the sand
Oh baby, maybe someday you will find me
On that beach beside you again
They come and go, love (Come and go but they, but they)
But they're all the same (D-da, d-da, da da, da da)
Even big bad bad boys get scared at night
It keeps them safe
(At home, baby)
I'm gonna throw this rock down (Gonna throw it down, let it roll)
Tonight's the night (Tonight)
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose 'em when I)
Gonna turn back time
Here we go
They come and go, love (Come and go but they, but they)
But they're all the same (D-da, d-da, da da, da da)
Even big bad bad boys get scared at night
It keeps them safe
(At home, baby)
I'm gonna throw this rock down (Gonna throw it down, let it roll)
Tonight's the night (Tonight)
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose 'em when I)
Gonna turn back time
I'm gonna save your life
A opera concert I would actually attend.
How is this not animated yet?
The most beautiful love story
I wish I hadn't read the explanations of the ending in the comments because now I'm crying
Honestly this is my favorite album by Ludo
But my favorite song is Scream, Scream, Scream.
Mine is skeletons on parade🔥🔥
@@zapper42308 I was just singing that not long ago XD. I love that one too, but honestly, my new favorite is probably Air Conditioned Love, I love the vibe it has.

3:50 When the Cleric multiclasssed to bard
mfw the dm gives me Finger of Death at level 2
Not crying
My preferred listen order, and how I introduce people to this work of art:
Part IV
Part I
Part II
Save our City
Part III
Part IV
Why do you play part 4 at the beginning and the end?
@@angelganon8213 I think he is implying listening to IV first really sets the tone, similar to how some movies end showing the final scene(s) at the beginning and then show us how they got there
Here's how I do it: I show the album as Ludo made it to people and they love it.
@@Cocoboco13 endless paradox loop...

Save Our City
Song by Ludo
Overview
Lyrics
Artists
Listen
Mr. Mayor, the mission burns
The zombies are marching, they close on the square
Families are cold, look down at their souls
Huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall
Faith in their God, that's all that they've got
Across the room, beyond the pane
The whole world is churning, bleeding and burning, hailstorms and ash
The moon is as blood
Over the soldiers who sag in the mud
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture of this world
Little boy, I'm just a man, a mere civil servant
Against this tyrant God
I've allied with our King, salvation he brings
Protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent
But the dead walk again, this is the end
Oh I'm just a man, my time has come
Long live King Simius! May he deliver us from this nightmare!
And with a blast like the sun
His lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture of this world
Fought and fell for our great king
We burned alive and boiled
The dragon, red and wrathful calls
We rise and march once more
Cursed in death, we starve for flesh
Our skin is cooked and curled
We'll eat our kin and smash them in
In Hell, we'll grind their bones
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture of this world
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture of this world
Save our city (Fought and fell for our great king)
Keep our souls, Lord (We burned alive and boiled)
Through the Rapture [The mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window] (The dragon, red and wrathful calls)
Of this world [and cries out from the ledge to the people below] (We rise and march once more, cursed in death-)
(Save our city) There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight (-we starve for flesh. Our skin is-)
(Keep our souls, Lord) Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right (- cooked and curled)
(Through the rapture) Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls (We'll eat our kin and smash them in)
It's time now to rise and fight!
Save our city!
Keep our souls, Lord!
Rise now and fight!
Save our City is a pump up song for me believe it all not haha
Fifteen years I raged against the constant C, the
speed of light, the diagrams and haunted sleep
on frozen sheets, in bed, my dreams, your garden grave,
I'd climb inside, hold your bones and slowly die, the
cooling space inside your chest, my broken bride, you
never breathed again.
The circuits fail, the cosmic strings like rubber
bands, I lose control, they snap, I fall through
mist to mud against my face, the taste of blood,
the world is strange, the stinking earth and giant
trees, through heavy air a demon shrieks, what
have I done? What hell is waiting for me?
CHORUS
I crashed before the birth of Christ, pterodactyls swarming
You died in 1989, just wanna get back to that morning in May
Keep you in bed, never escape, holding you close,
Listen to you breathe the evening glow
of fading light and cooling space.
Like motor oil down my throat, I couldn't speak, I dropped
the phone, the burning flares, the steam, your hair,
bits of glass, they sparkled everywhere, like winter
nights, the stars, the ice, all intertwined, to hold and
keep, like petals pressed in sheets, making love to
moonlight in our sleep.
But now above the pits of tar, in a cave I hide, that
massive screaming thing with wings of reaper's cloth,
it's standing just outside, I must get to my machine,
I will bring you back to life, fix your ruined lungs,
I'll undo what time has done!
REPEAT CHORUS
I carve your sweet name
into the cave, I'm sure to die
All my strife has been in vain
The glaciers come and wash my words away
REPEAT CHORUS
Love this So much! edit congrats on almost 100 subs
Girls: Boys don't know true pain and sadness!

TheRiceandCake such optimism
...his machine gets destroyed when he defeats the Dragon. He gets sent back by “god” or whoever to see her one last time.
He says that he can't save her life in Part III. His machine, too, is destroyed. They die together.
This not being on Spotify or other music services is an incredible crime. I wonder if they aren't proud of it or something?
it is in spotify tho
Same with me
Scott Alexander
So what happens next? Does He get in the car with her? Does he die to? Why did he not stop her from leaving?
He gets in the car with her and dies with her. If he stops her from dying, he creates a paradox, one that would ultimately result in mankind going extinct at the hands of the dragon and the tyrant God. Also, he chose to die with her because the people that sent him back to the morning in May only gave him one day with her, he's saying he'd rather die with her in his arms than live the rest of his life without her.

My least favourite part is 27:17
Still so fucking tasty
Someone told me this is a Christian band. Is this a Christian album with band members who are Christian?
It is not
LMFAO.
is he saying “prolly gonna turn back time”? like he thinks it might not work? lol
Think so yeah
I'm gonna go out, fire it up, honey (I'm gonna lose'em when I)
Gonna turn back time
