Don't worry about the Satan stuff, it's their gimmick and main theme through which they satirize and criticize the church and archaic social norms. Tobias, the mastermind behind the band is, in cact, oretty atheistic, or at least agnostic. Little Sunshine is actually a nickname used by Aleister Crowley, this is what the song hints at.
Well yeah, and even in them the Satanism is used as a tool for a deeper message, in Year Zero there is an existential and cynical analysis of the human condition masked as a hymn to the dark lord and Monstrance Clock is, and this is official, a feminist song which emphasizes female liberation from prudish traditions of the church and society
@@24fretsoffury That doesn’t necessarily mean that the song was written as a serious satanic psalm, dude. It’s perfectly fine for _you_ to interpret it that way, but Tobias for his part almost certainly wasn’t actually invoking Satan in order to destroy the world and wipe humanity from existence.
He's Swedish. It's very rare to find religious people here. If you meet a religious person here it's mostly a freshly immigrated person who is a Muslim. We are Christians by tradition not by believes. But atheists can have a fascination for Christianity, it's god and devil, just as a Christian can have a fascination for Greek mythology without believing it's real.
@@chrissibersky4617I wouldn't say were all atheists. I'd say most of us definitely believe in some kind of higher power however we dont belong to some specific religion and we dont dwell on it too much. We just got that "it is what it is mentality".
I recommend "Dance Macabre" and "Cirice" by Ghost. And all the other stuff. 😉 They are really great and very versatile. And Tobias has a very special voice.
You're right sometimes good music is just that, we don't always have to find deep personal meaning in it to enjoy it. Matter of fact it just occurred to me i have both Dimmu Borgir and Demon Hunter on the same playlist, lol.
You know? I can listen to a lot of these songs on various platforms, but I tend to do reactions... it's like listening with someone instead of just listening and staring at the wall..
This is the first time I have seen one of your vids.... I like what seems to be your primarily mono tone voices and dry hummer.... You two are funny.... Im a proud atheist myself and a huge Ghost fan... Ghost is very tongue in cheek.. There is a whole lore and fictional back story with the band, if you can even call Ghost a band... But if it wasn't so tongue in cheek and you really had motive to spread the word of Satan.. A good melody and a catchy course would be the way to do it...
Aleister Crowley was asked in court by the judge what to call him as he has many names he said “just call me little sunshine”. Little sunshine also refers to the morningstar
You MUST react to more of these guys. You GOTTA. They’re such a good band, especially live. If you can react to a video of them performing something live, like their recent Kimmel performance or the livestreamed show they did before their latest album dropped, you really oughta. I’ll watch it for sure. As for songs to recommend, for you two who aren’t familiar I’d recommend “From The Pinnacle To The Pit,” “Rats,” “Ritual,” “Year Zero,” (must stress for that one specifically not to be too put off by the Satan shtick; it’s no more real than a horror movie. It’s just for the theatrical value) “Spillways,” (I recommend you react to the Live from the Mausoleum performance of that song) and “Cirice.” Hell, anything in their catalogue is fair game. They’ve yet to disappoint.
It's not satanic....its all a metaphor and theatrical, Mephistopheles is a lesser demon who is responsible for collecting the corrupt souls. He is using it as a metaphor for his love for a woman....nothing will stop him from always loving her and being there for her.
Ive had the privilege of hearing this performed live and its an amazing experience . I even had tears i. My eyes . Im a satanist but a non theistic one so I don’t actually believe in the devil
This song is about Alistair Crowley… the judge called him satan in court and he answered that the name was Mephistopheles ,but the judge could call him little sunshine …”call me little sunshine”!
@@pjeffries301 You are only looking at a single facet of the whole production. Tobias Forge told Metal Hammer that: It’s the Devil, basically, speaking to the little person in front of his or her computer or in their little room, calling out for them, “I’m always here for you.” In this context, it’s not a good thing. Of course, meaning is subjective in art, but when you go around touting your interpretation as the true meaning and acting as though everyone else is some kind of moron I think we have already moved past that.

Speak for yourself, “Year Zero” & “Monstrance Clock” are two of my favorite Ghost tracks, and wickedly satanic, it’s really fun!

Ghost is the best new big band! It’s a rabbit hole! I hope you get to go through their catalog.
New they came out over a decade ago 😂
@@TECfan1 I know that. I’m just about their talking mainstream relevance….

Anyone who has struggled with addiction (to substances or religion) knows exactly what this song is about

Ghost "Bible" or "Rats"
Bible is a translated cover of the Swedish band Imperiets "Bibel."
Seen ghost live many times seeing them again on 9th April in Manchester uk
Aleister Crowley was asked in court by the judge what to call him as he has many names he said “just call me little sunshine”. Little sunshine also refers to the morningstar
Tx to reacting to Ghost 🤟 Got this song in my head for two weeks when it come out. So good 👌👻
Won American music award for best rock album a couple of weeks ago. 2022
OMG SATAN is in DSA?

Bear Mountain Park - Anodyne
Have a great day ❤️🤘
🤣🤣I've been practicing this quite a bit lately. Good timing guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥 Ghost (Tobias) has some great songs.
More GHOST! Try GHOST watcher in the sky next.
The "Satanic" aspect is just a giant troll. Look into the Tobias interview he talks about it.

You two are adorable
Thank you 😊
Cry out to Satan in your time of need he is there.
I think that is Matthew Modine's daughter in the video
That was pretty good. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺
Ive had the privilege of hearing this performed live and its an amazing experience . I even had tears i. My eyes . Im a satanist but a non theistic one so I don’t actually believe in the devil
Mephistopheles translates to Morning Star- Morning Star=Sunshine…. Hope that helps
Ghost Twenties please
I RECOMMEND " DANCE MACABRE, KISS THE GO GOAT) PAPANAIL, NEXT( SQUARE HAMMBER, YEAR ZERO, PRO MEMORIAL) PLIS
They're kind of like a new version of Alice Cooper to me.
am i the only dude ( except for Mike!) that likes Ginger a LOT?..😁🤣😍
No! Ginger is very popular with the boys.😅 - M

Hi guys sorry mi english is very bad is reconmmend Kiss the goat- ghost plis 🙏
It's an anti-drug song, Einsteins. They equate drugs with the devil.
Patently false. Tobias himself said it is about a power that be (in this case the devil) deceiving you.
@@spookyboilanny8842 Hmm... so the girl smokes the pipe, goes off the rails, dies, and crosses river Styx. OK.

Indeed. Well said. And thanks for the background on the song. - G
