I'm so obsessed with this song! I've been listening this a million times, It's just amazing, the vocals are so clean and strong, the changes are so harmonic. This song hits you right on your miserable heart.
Lida Fernández The blend between harsh vocals and cleans is so majestic. Melodies and chord progressions nail it. I wasn't an Amorphis fan, but this song got me into them.
Don't be an unpleasant piece of shit. Damn why must Romania have such cunts lol. The song is brilliant. Simply brilliant. It's among the best material from Joutsen-era Amorphis, and that's saying a hell of a lot.
You know that feeling when you've just discovered a band, and you're super digging it... and then you discover they have like 9 albums? Yeah, looks like Amorphis and I will be spending a lot of quality time together.
Only that they have 13 albums. And their time range is almost 30 years... They have renewed a lot during years, but there are familiar elements through the years too.
Well happy for you. It just amazes the amount of people who have only recently found out about bands like Amorphis, Sentenced, Insomnium or even Nightwish when they have been around for decades. It should not be about marketing but constantly trying to find new bands in the genres you like. And even how easy it is today with last.fm and Spotify that links you to bands to you propably like. Wasn't like that in the 80's and 90's :) Kinda pisses me off than people are so lazy but good that you found them out.
To clear out the story behind the lyrics: Wikipedia - Lemminäinen: Lemminkäinen or Lemminki is a prominent figure in Finnish mythology. He is one of the Heroes of the Kalevala, where his character is a composite of several separate heroes of oral poetry. He is usually depicted as young and good-looking, with wavy red hair. The original, mythological Lemminkäinen is a shamanistic figure. In the Kalevala, he has been blended together with epic war-heroes Kaukomieli/Kaukamoinen and Ahti Saarelainen. In one myth, he drowns in the river of Tuonela (the underworld) in trying to capture or kill the black swan that lives there as part of an attempt, as Ilmarinen once made, to win a daughter of Louhi as his wife. In a tale somewhat reminiscent of Isis' search for Osiris, Lemminkäinen's mother searches heaven and earth to find her son. Finally, she learns of his fate and asks Ilmarinen to fashion her a rake of copper with which to dredge her son's body from the river of Tuonela. Thus equipped, she descends into the underworld in search of her son. On the banks of the river of the underworld, she rakes up first Lemminkäinen's tunic and shoes, and then, his maimed and broken body. Unrelenting, she continues her work until every piece of Lemminkäinen's body is recovered. Sewing the parts together and offering prayers to the gods, the mother tries to restore Lemminkäinen to life, but while she succeeds in remaking his body, his life is still absent. Then, she entreats a bee to ascend to the halls of the over-god Ukko and fetch from there a drop of honey as ointment that would bring Lemminkäinen back to life. Only with such a potent remedy is the hero finally restored.
Amorphis is incredble. I've never seen a band go from death metal to melodic death metal with folk elements to progressive metal/rock back to progressive death and nail it every fucking step of the way. It's awesome to me they've been able to put out more mainstream friendly stuff without ruining the integrity of their music like many bands tend to do.
Yes, and they don't have in my opinion a bad album! Sure from the great Karelian isthmus to this was a long way but always worth to go! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy!
To those wondering about the lyrics, this is sort of a sequel to their classic 'Silent Waters'. It's a continuation of the same story from the Kalevala, where Lemminkäinen's body is pulled from the river of Tuonela by his mother; the bee essentially allowed the body to be brought back to life, with a drop of sacred honey.
If he didn't mention Tuonela I'd have literally thought they're doing an Egypt mythology album and the Bee was actually the Scarab in a sort of artsy approach (similar to how last one was about the Indian/Aztec culture) But damn, that's a good one.. Never realized how rich the storyline in Kalevala was.. Wish there were series of those :)
I always wonder if bands like this give themselves shivers while they're recording their own music and pieces start falling into place. This must be such an adrenaline rush to work on something like this. Incredible.
These lyrics are about me (and my protectors aka the kings/princes etc) and so are the lyrics to the song Silver Bride. I am the true/only Queen / Lady / Princess / Star / Goddess etc and I represent The Bee and The Silver Queen and The Silver Bride and The Queen Of Time! My protector Chip has been involved in the creation of most lyrics and movies (he and the ClA included lots of subtle references to me in many songs/movies and made many songs about me) and included 2 of my main symbols aka the Infinity symbol and The Triangle in many videos...
In the song The Bee, they subtly referenced me as the flowers cold as ice, which is a secret reference to me the only being who reflects flowers and my perfect personalities (each perfect personality represents a different flower) and, this reference was included by Chip -- the song Ice Queen is also about me, and I represent the cold/ice and flowers and many other pure and interesting elements, myself being the most complex being!
MetalMystica Are you kidding? Bees have always been Metal as fuck. They sting you to death. They are mostly black, and they are noisy. Bees are awesome.
A bee gave a kiss of life to an important figure in the glorious Finnish Kalevala-saga - I salute this piece, it is absolutely something you could listen to again and again and again, and build castles in your own mind and let your honey flow...
Song gets better every another listening time. Especially like the "They build their castles in the heads of kings" and song is elevated to the next level.
Ikr? I love how you at first have growl + more heavy music, then it switches to light vocals + more symphonic, and then goes growl + symphonic with just hits different
Dude its not about bees, its about the Israel king who will rise from the destruction and will lead the chaos (the antichrist or Al-Dajjal). the black pyramid, hexagram hive, destruction and blind followers
This is the ultimate combination of two different worlds where Amorphis rules - the sweetness of nightless midsummer nights and the crushing power spiced with epic oriental influences...and Tomi's versatile vocal work seals the perfection!
Our life is also smoke, changeable like its clouds, as unique as sunsets and sunrises, as nature, which is so diverse, and every day you discover something new and bright. One of the most beautiful compositions! Thank you, I love you endlessly🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘👏👏👏
Very recognizable as Amorphis (fortunately) but the sound is bigger than ever before and the last 2 minutes are almost unreal. Beauty and power rolled into one. Looking even more forward to the new cd now.
yeah mikael has a good voice also. I think for the more depressive melancholic sound Mikael is better, but for a more uplifting testosterone pumping sound id go for Tomi
Actualy his growls seemed better on the previous album than on this song. And overall I liked his wet, gluttural growl on Eclipse more than the harsher, drier tone he uses now.
you know that feeling when your late to the party...yeah...I feel hella late to this party...I'm a Children of Bodom fan so why did I not listen to these guys sooner...I've heard the name for years...I did just get the Kalevala though, and maybe Ukko decided I need so good music reintroduced. Been ages since I've found a band I like.
again they did it. another shaking and eargasmic piece of work. They shouldn't stop making music. !!!! since l met their album " elegy" in 1997 l have been listening them with such joy and desire for their mesmerising melodies derived from finnish traditions. I greatly respect the honourable finnish people firstly because of amorphis secondly because of the way they established Finland from rocks and swamps just like the Turkish War of independence.
Im mesmerized! Absolutely amazing! Never a song has create such a great impact on me in a first listening! Epic ambience, powerfull tones, beautiful melodic lines and inspiring lyrics! Life will prevail always!
I used to listen to Amorphis during my college days. And years later, to this day, I still get chills down my spine everytime I hear his voice , specially the growls. Clear and perfect, that's how it is. It's so good to hear new songs from them! Greetings, from Mauritius Island. :)
But bees revives kings in the norse mythology? Bc I think the song says about bees nesting in the skulls of chosen kings and making honey. I don't catch how they revive them by doing that (I'm really trying to understand the meaning of the song)
These lyrics are about me (and my protectors aka the kings/princes etc) and so are the lyrics to the song Silver Bride. I am the true/only Queen / Lady / Princess / Star / Goddess etc and I represent The Bee and The Silver Queen and The Silver Bride and The Queen Of Time! My protector Chip has been involved in the creation of most lyrics and movies (he and the ClA included lots of subtle references to me in many songs/movies and made many songs about me) and included 2 of my main symbols aka the Infinity symbol and The Triangle in many videos...
It's a krime to misuse big terms that only reflect me the only God / Master / Goddess / Princess / Queen etc aka The Supreme Leader, and the misused terms must be edited out -- u are spreading misinformation, as the true meaning of these lyrics and most new lyrics are about me, and most lyrics contain secret references to me!
I've never really enjoyed this growling/screaming in songs, but somehow this song is different! I got chills throughout my body for the whole duration of the song. I think I'm in love.
This day has been so good so far. A full Auri album released, a new single from Kalmah and the best of all: new Amorphis! I was a bit dissapointed with Kalmah's new single, but this song... Oh my god, Amorphis never fails! This song sounds like Under the Red Cloud on steroids
If you asked me, guys, I would call The Bee one of the best Amorphis songs to date or perhaps even one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's magnificent! And the video is awesome.
I had tickets to see these guys with Dark Tranquillity. 2 different dates here in Florida but had to have surgery and didnt recover in time to see them. This song blows my mind it's so good. I was super depressed to miss that show because I havent seen Amorphis yet and wanted to see them with Dark Tranquillity one of my favorite bands. I wont be missing another show. I hope they decide to tour together in the States again. I hope it was a successful tour. Please buy their albums. These bands work so hard and have to tour relentlessly to make money. I hang signed vinyl covers as art in my house. Please support these bands by buying merch at the shows and albums.
Look up the story of Lemminkäinen from the Kalevala. Mehilainen (the little bee) is a small part of his story and most likely the inspiration for this song. : )
This is great..powerful, good melody, excellent words, nice and beautiful video, magnificent playing skills..this could be opera..and above all one of the best metal bands ever
I question the ability of a space bee to identify the skull of kings amongst the bones on the shore. I'm not too sure how effective it's tiny wings are in zero gravity of space either. I hope the other songs go into more technical details.
The bees are part of Finnish folklore called Kalevala and they symbolize life. With their honey mother of Lemminkäinen was able to bring her son back to life at the river of Tuonela. Since Amorphis is Finnish I think they took their inspiration of that story.
When watching a lyric video is not boring, there's a good chance that it's done by Amorphis. Great song, can't wait to check out the full album. Amorphis delivers again!
Tbh I believe Amorphis to be one of the best progressive metal bands out there. Not gonna do a wall of text but, they've held their artistic integrity together and written what they believe in w/o comprmise. Congrats on a long and fruitful career. Elegy ^_^
I was listening to it and was going to hit the like button again. I didn´t realized I already hit it instantly yesterday!! The intro is spectacular, those synths are amazing, and the contrast between the different sections is great.
My favorite part is "In the Night/ Of the River of Death/ Fly the silent/ Prince electors", don't know how to explain, but it sounds very mystical, maybe because of the chosen words and the allegory to a Finn story about life and resurrection. Great song.
This Band always amazes me again. So great Composition of Elements. Keep doing your magic work guys! Bees are indeed such mystical creatures perfect choice for a song I realize.
My friend just recently introduced me to Amorphis with this song. I love it. And the more I listen to their stuff, the more I love. So hyped to see them next month
"Cuando la pequeña desciende del paraíso, se arrastra dentro del cráneo escogido. Y cuando la pequeña invoca a las demás, se arrastran dentro del cráneo escogido. Construyen sus castillos en las cabezas de los reyes, traen vida... y la miel fluirá una vez más. "
Its gleaming wings will cut their way Through the silent paths of space Planets whirl, suns are lit Mountains fly, stars are dimmed When I see people who’s first language isn’t English manipulate it so fluently it makes me amazed! What a lyrical genius! Other than just telling a story, they paint a canvas with words!
I hear the 2 new Videos every day... and all Problems are gone😂😂I am Wordless... Love this clean Singing and the Crowls. a great Job you are done.. Amorphis❤️🤘🤘
My favorite re-tellers of Kalevala are at it again. An epic piece of literature made into metal songs of epic proportions. And this is one of their best, I dare to say.
Lyrics; A fire in the sky Ablaze the spark beyond the stars Its gleaming wings will cut their way Through the silent paths of space Planets whirl, suns are lit Mountains fly, stars are dimmed Its golden sabres tear through time In the night of the river of death Fly the silent prince electors On the banks of Tuonela Bleach the skeletons of kings Their skulls of sugar sickly sweet Their bones piled up on the shore On bed of mottled rocks Amid flowers cold as ice Pray the weak, the old, the poor And when the tiny one from heaven comes Crawls inside the chosen skull And when the tiny one it summons the others To crawl inside the chosen skull They build their castles In the heads of kings Bring life to the empty halls They build their castles In the heads of kings And honey will flow once more Once more In the night of the river of death Fly the silent prince electors And when the tiny one from heaven comes Crawls inside the chosen skull And when the tiny one it summons the others To crawl inside the chosen skull They build their castles In the heads of kings Bring life to the empty halls They build their castles In the heads of kings And honey will flow once more Once more
I'm addicted to this song like to honey! Curiously enough, Finland shares its Lemminkäinen myth with Egypt's Osiris. In Osiris's resurrection, wax was used for the phallus. In Lemminkäinen's resurrection, honey as an ointment. The Elected Queen is the oldest representation of the Mother Goddess. Well done, Amorphis! Kiitos, Suomi!
There has been many civilizations before us. There are artifacts that are carbondated to 300 million years, found in coal mine in use many years ago. MSM historians hate all that is older than 6000y ;) All pyramids around the globe was connected before Younger dryas.
Did you also know that the buzzing actually balances the hemispheres of your brain. So if you have anxiety or depression or anything like that, not only is this metal but you can additional benefit out of it :-) look up a breathing technique called Brahmari Breath
I fell in love with this bands music the first time I heard Brother Moon. Little did I know they'd become my favourite band so many years later. This song is absolutely epic. I think we're in for something really special with this new album.
I'm so obsessed with this song! I've been listening this a million times, It's just amazing, the vocals are so clean and strong, the changes are so harmonic. This song hits you right on your miserable heart.

Oh yeah me too and the words are just right the way it should be
YES! ME TOO.... IT'S TRUE!!!
Yes!

You have a lot to find out :)

Congratulations on having dug up this treasure. Don't know about you, but I can never get enough of their music \m/
Same first time hearing this band and holy fuck it's great
Well happy for you. It just amazes the amount of people who have only recently found out about bands like Amorphis, Sentenced, Insomnium or even Nightwish when they have been around for decades.
It should not be about marketing but constantly trying to find new bands in the genres you like. And even how easy it is today with last.fm and Spotify that links you to bands to you propably like. Wasn't like that in the 80's and 90's :)

For all us ignorant non-Finnish, this should be comment #1
has this something to do with the bock saga?
Hawester: Dude.. that’s a epic story!! 🤘😐
Kiitos!
@@huhmaa Thanks for letting us know the story behind this song.

its under that weird yellow thing
Wow Janzer ... thank you for this!!
Janzer Urzin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I always wonder if bands like this give themselves shivers while they're recording their own music and pieces start falling into place. This must be such an adrenaline rush to work on something like this. Incredible.
Thats exactly what i think while listen yo their music
Of course there is. That's why bands write music
I really hope they know how sexy they are. Am man. Still see this as sexy. Also a beekeeper so super sexy haha.
These lyrics are about me (and my protectors aka the kings/princes etc) and so are the lyrics to the song Silver Bride.

Its official, Bee's are now considered Metal! Great song!
MetalMystica Are you kidding? Bees have always been Metal as fuck. They sting you to death. They are mostly black, and they are noisy. Bees are awesome.
Here's a video of bees burning a hornet to death - doesn't get more metal: th-cam.com/video/K6m40W1s0Wc/w-d-xo.html
Long Live Metal! Long Live Bees! (we need them!)
Yeah but by that logic, "hip hip hooray" is now considered metal : |
Bees and whales oh my
A bee gave a kiss of life to an important figure in the glorious Finnish Kalevala-saga - I salute this piece, it is absolutely something you could listen to again and again and again, and build castles in your own mind and let your honey flow...
"let your honey flow" 💀
もうメロディーの裏でティロティロ鳴ってるキーボードの音色だけで涙腺にく～るう。
Asculta the bee official video este in engleza traduce :)
SAATANA PERKELE! FINLAND IS THE LAND OF THE BEST METAL BANDS IMO! GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL!
Go to Finland one day! You won’t regret❤ The atmosphere is just great. You will fall in neverending love. Metalheads everywhere you look😂
Meeting Amorphis is literally meeting a World I wasn't aware of. Thank you. Sincerely.
Excellent Song As Always With Awesome Amorphis!! And Tomi Joutsen Is The Heavy Metal Master, The Metal God In Growling And Clean Vocals 🤘👊🤘
This is just an eargasm everytime I hear it
"And honey will flow once more" Well, Amorphis made that sound metal AF.
And honay
æ,
haha so true
Super. Metal 🤘❤🤘👌
Nice, pfp
Song gets better every another listening time. Especially like the "They build their castles in the heads of kings" and song is elevated to the next level.
Ikr? I love how you at first have growl + more heavy music, then it switches to light vocals + more symphonic, and then goes growl + symphonic with just hits different
So this is officially the most epic description I ever heard about bees.
Dude its not about bees, its about the Israel king who will rise from the destruction and will lead the chaos (the antichrist or Al-Dajjal). the black pyramid, hexagram hive, destruction and blind followers
@@ahmadyoussif8104 I don't think so
Ahmad Youssif You’re very wrong my dude
@@ahmadyoussif8104 for me as a Finn it is about Lemminkäinen and his mother from the epic poem of Kalevala. You should check it out.
And the synth melody is straight from 1 of the children of Bodom songs, realized this with my dad 1 day.
This is the ultimate combination of two different worlds where Amorphis rules - the sweetness of nightless midsummer nights and the crushing power spiced with epic oriental influences...and Tomi's versatile vocal work seals the perfection!
So true!!!!!
"You can't make metal about... bees!!!"
Amorphis: Hold my beer !
Feliciano Frontado Bees have always been Metal.
Listen to Butterfly Fx from Moonspell. They have a song called Can't Bee.
Feliciano Frontado oh shit
Yes You Can!!!!
Beads?
Our life is also smoke, changeable like its clouds, as unique as sunsets and sunrises, as nature, which is so diverse, and every day you discover something new and bright. One of the most beautiful compositions! Thank you, I love you endlessly🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘👏👏👏
Ive been growler my whole life. But Tomi goes into next level. And song is very creative and atmospheric as hell.
Very recognizable as Amorphis (fortunately) but the sound is bigger than ever before and the last 2 minutes are almost unreal. Beauty and power rolled into one. Looking even more forward to the new cd now.
Tomi is the lord of harsh and clean vocals
The way of Chi then Mikael is god or sth haha
yeah mikael has a good voice also. I think for the more depressive melancholic sound Mikael is better, but for a more uplifting testosterone pumping sound id go for Tomi
but having said that if you listen to his voice in Hallatar, Doom metal Band. He takes his voice to a whole new darker and deeper level
Actualy his growls seemed better on the previous album than on this song. And overall I liked his wet, gluttural growl on Eclipse more than the harsher, drier tone he uses now.
Bjorn Strid is the Lord of Harsh and clean Vocals
I've listened this song already like 20 times, it's so perfect. I love it ♥
Ximena Melodeath I'm doing the same hahahahaha
I can't help but loop it.
Yea, same here! I sitting here learning the vocal lines. LOL
The lyrics are especially good, up there with Come the Spring
Same! I found this song like one hour ago and i've already listened it at least ten times :D
you know that feeling when your late to the party...yeah...I feel hella late to this party...I'm a Children of Bodom fan so why did I not listen to these guys sooner...I've heard the name for years...I did just get the Kalevala though, and maybe Ukko decided I need so good music reintroduced.

Things that Finland should be proud of:
1- education system
2- Amorphis
3. Insomnium
You should add Insomnium to the list.
Before the dawn, insomnium, omnium gatherum..... Finish melodic death metal 😍
Just say the entire Finnish metal genre.
NIGHTWISH!
This is a real masterpiece
But bees revives kings in the norse mythology? Bc I think the song says about bees nesting in the skulls of chosen kings and making honey. I don't catch how they revive them by doing that (I'm really trying to understand the meaning of the song)
Wow
@Kermit but in Australia My bad. I always thought they were the same or at least very similar.
These lyrics are about me (and my protectors aka the kings/princes etc) and so are the lyrics to the song Silver Bride. I am the true/only Queen / Lady / Princess / Star / Goddess etc and I represent The Bee and The Silver Queen and The Silver Bride and The Queen Of Time!

I've never really enjoyed this growling/screaming in songs, but somehow this song is different! I got chills throughout my body for the whole duration of the song. I think I'm in love.
Cant stop listening. This tiny one has crawled inside my skull.
Thats the best part man🤘
How is it possible a band to remain sooooo damn consistent (and even improving) with every single release...this album is mine!!!
This day has been so good so far. A full Auri album released, a new single from Kalmah and the best of all: new Amorphis! I was a bit dissapointed with Kalmah's new single, but this song... Oh my god, Amorphis never fails! This song sounds like Under the Red Cloud on steroids
Yep! New Arkona, Orphaned Land, Auri, Kamelot and now this!
Yea, the new Kalmah was a little weak but still blows away the new Dimmu! Can't wait for the new Amorphis!
ToastedCigar kalmah's new album was fantastic!
Maybe the most addictive song in the metal genre I have heard all year.
the Best Sound of the World........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That intro is the best thing I've heard yet this year.
If you asked me, guys, I would call The Bee one of the best Amorphis songs to date or perhaps even one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's magnificent! And the video is awesome.
Finnish mythology & metal is great combination
FUCK YES!
This band on another level
The best and most beautiful growling in today's musical world. I admire Amorphis and Tomi Jutsen vocals
Niilo Sevänen???
I had tickets to see these guys with Dark Tranquillity. 2 different dates here in Florida but had to have surgery and didnt recover in time to see them. This song blows my mind it's so good. I was super depressed to miss that show because I havent seen Amorphis yet and wanted to see them with Dark Tranquillity one of my favorite bands. I wont be missing another show. I hope they decide to tour together in the States again. I hope it was a successful tour. Please buy their albums. These bands work so hard and have to tour relentlessly to make money. I hang signed vinyl covers as art in my house. Please support these bands by buying merch at the shows and albums.
Brutal and Soothing... Respect to this band.
Here's hoping that this is a concept album, because I really want to know more about this cosmic insect swarm of glorious undeath.
A Human well, the artwork is completely made out of bees and honeycomb shapes, so there's a decent chance it is.
My best guess is that it'll be like UTRC: not really a concept album, but all the songs feel like they're taking place in the same setting.
Look up the story of Lemminkäinen from the Kalevala. Mehilainen (the little bee) is a small part of his story and most likely the inspiration for this song. : )
Superb Amorphis song. They always raise the bar. Always one more step. One of the top 5 best rock bands on the planet for several years.
I have just discovered Amorphis and they are the band I have been looking for my entire life
Amorphis is back with an eargasm ! 👍
PORN - Industrial Rock / Gothic Metal
This is so amazing that for the first time in my life i'm really waiting an album to be released.
It's ridiculous how good Tomi is. Those growls are on a different level. I fucking love this band.
They’re still writing about Finnish folklore, I love it
This beautiful song makes me cry. Heartbreaking chorus. AND WHEN THE TINY ONE... T_T
Thank you for this song
Max, 28 y.o.
As brutal as melodic. Very original, they understood how metal is working. Great job guys, you deserve more celebrity.
Love the subtle Arabic undertones. They never dissapoint damn them!
Bob in the riff
Do you know any other bands or songs that have a similar Arabic feel to it? I know for example Melechesh - Multiple Truths, but then not much more!
@@SterlingVanlaere try Myrath and Shokran, they both have that Arabic (Prince of Persia vibes) feel to them, although they are quite different.
@@SterlingVanlaere try King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. Myrath is also great as someone else here suggested.
@@SterlingVanlaere
(Not a band, but a specific song) Tirehtööri by Turmion kätilöt has what I'd call an Arabic feel to it (at least in the beginning)
listened to this song probably no less than a thousand times, and it still gives me goosebumps
Incredible! You can always count on Amorphis!
This is one of my top ten songs of all time. I never get sick of it. So damn good! 🎉
that old argument of "not putting synthesizers in death metal" becomes dead after listening to this song, imho
try nightwish and epica
Amorphis do what they want, giving a f*** if it's metal or not. The result is always awesome music. :-)
@@babatoa or children of bodom
In which part is this death metal?
It's basically the point of industrial metal, have they ever heard of rammstein? Eisbrecher?
This is great..powerful, good melody, excellent words, nice and beautiful video, magnificent playing skills..this could be opera..and above all one of the best metal bands ever
I question the ability of a space bee to identify the skull of kings amongst the bones on the shore. I'm not too sure how effective it's tiny wings are in zero gravity of space either. I hope the other songs go into more technical details.
cosmic bees do as they please
The bees are part of Finnish folklore called Kalevala and they symbolize life. With their honey mother of Lemminkäinen was able to bring her son back to life at the river of Tuonela. Since Amorphis is Finnish I think they took their inspiration of that story.
I just found funny you take the lirycs as is, like, it's clearly a metaphor and your' re joking around... XD
Liked the music... was greatly puzzled by the lyrics ... thanks for the insight. Looking forward to seeing these guys later this year!
Your comment as one reason: you don’t know AMORPHIS
When watching a lyric video is not boring, there's a good chance that it's done by Amorphis. Great song, can't wait to check out the full album. Amorphis delivers again!
The Bee, or not The Bee, that is the question:
The Bee, that is the answer
The Bee
To be a bee or not to be a bee
To suffer the slings and arrows of crappy metal...
Steven Berkowitz
The fuck is wrong with Amorphis?
No the answer is 15
I can’t believe I get to see them live this October! I’m literally counting down the days 🎉🎉
No Words in this world can't describe how beautiful is this song .This is maybe one of the bests songs of decade .
is not easy to use the word "perfect" to describe a song, this is the time to use it: just PERFECT!
Who are these guys and why am I just finding out about them now? This is awesome!
These guys or all who have ever been in the band?
Absolutly love this track, perfect song, perfect melody and brutality, only for this song, this could be album of the year. Hail to
Amorphis.
Tbh I believe Amorphis to be one of the best progressive metal bands out there. Not gonna do a wall of text but, they've held their artistic integrity together and written what they believe in w/o comprmise. Congrats on a long and fruitful career. Elegy ^_^
I absolutely love it! Is AMAZING! It blows my mind! Been listening Amorphis since the 90`s and this is one of my favourites ever!
German Enrique Gavarrete Velasquez
Holy crap they've been around since the 90's? I only found them a couple days ago!
Darren M You should give a try and listen their first albums like Tales From The Thousand Lakes, is a masterpiece.
Same here...😁 I been listening to them since the 90's.
aquariuslalo We are old (maybe not much) 😂✊
One of the most consistent bands going awesome album
I was listening to it and was going to hit the like button again. I didn´t realized I already hit it instantly yesterday!!
The intro is spectacular, those synths are amazing, and the contrast between the different sections is great.
Viimeinen laulu
Why can't we hit the like button on this at least a hundred times?
Every one speaks highly of Tomi's vocals, which no doubt are amazing. But I think Santeria's key playing is what make this band really special.
Entire album is a metal masterpiece from start to finish. Unbelievable...
Purely epic song. Love it. Lovely blend of melody and heavy vocals.
My favorite part is "In the Night/ Of the River of Death/ Fly the silent/ Prince electors", don't know how to explain, but it sounds very mystical, maybe because of the chosen words and the allegory to a Finn story about life and resurrection. Great song.
Man am I glad I already snagged tickets to see these guys (with Dark Tranquility, Omnium Gatherum, and Moon Spell) in September!
Ryan Marr hell yea! Tampa for me woooooo!!!! Saw them last year and it was amazing
That sounds like a recipe for a great night out!
This Band always amazes me again. So great Composition of Elements. Keep doing your magic work guys! Bees are indeed such mystical creatures perfect choice for a song I realize.
1st listen: Are they singing about... bees??
2nd listen: THEY BUILD THEIR CASTLES IN THE HEADS OF KINGS!!
And honey, will flow once mooooooooore😂 i never thought bee's life could be described in such a bad ass way.
This is just perfect tune for alarm clock!! First 45seconds mega easy wake up❤
My friend just recently introduced me to Amorphis with this song. I love it. And the more I listen to their stuff, the more I love. So hyped to see them next month
"Cuando la pequeña desciende del paraíso, se arrastra dentro del cráneo escogido. Y cuando la pequeña invoca a las demás, se arrastran dentro del cráneo escogido. Construyen sus castillos en las cabezas de los reyes, traen vida... y la miel fluirá una vez más. "
Пробирает до костей! Отлично, ребята!!!
Its gleaming wings will cut their way
Through the silent paths of space
Planets whirl, suns are lit
Mountains fly, stars are dimmed
When I see people who’s first language isn’t English manipulate it so fluently it makes me amazed! What a lyrical genius! Other than just telling a story, they paint a canvas with words!
From what I know Finnish is a lot more complex and expressive than English. I've listened to like half of the Kalevala runes in English.
I hear the 2 new Videos every day... and all Problems are gone😂😂I am Wordless... Love this clean Singing and the Crowls. a great Job you are done.. Amorphis❤️🤘🤘
I've got a good feeling we could have another Skyforger/Tuonela coming up
Tuonela is my favorite album of all time, I would LOVE that!
Those two albums are by far their best imo
Queen of Time is definitely at least at the level of those albums
My favorite re-tellers of Kalevala are at it again. An epic piece of literature made into metal songs of epic proportions. And this is one of their best, I dare to say.
Lyrics;
A fire in the sky
Ablaze the spark beyond the stars
Its gleaming wings will cut their way
Through the silent paths of space
Planets whirl, suns are lit
Mountains fly, stars are dimmed
Its golden sabres tear through time
In the night of the river of death
Fly the silent prince electors
On the banks of Tuonela
Bleach the skeletons of kings
Their skulls of sugar sickly sweet
Their bones piled up on the shore
On bed of mottled rocks
Amid flowers cold as ice
Pray the weak, the old, the poor
And when the tiny one from heaven comes
Crawls inside the chosen skull
And when the tiny one it summons the others
To crawl inside the chosen skull
They build their castles
In the heads of kings
Bring life to the empty halls
They build their castles
In the heads of kings
And honey will flow once more
Once more
In the night of the river of death
Fly the silent prince electors
And when the tiny one from heaven comes
Crawls inside the chosen skull
And when the tiny one it summons the others
To crawl inside the chosen skull
They build their castles
In the heads of kings
Bring life to the empty halls
They build their castles
In the heads of kings
And honey will flow once more
Once more
The female vocals into the intro, the lyrics and the mystery behind the bee makes me shiver.
Tomi Joutsen still has his both voices! Awesome to change voice in live, just seen week ago, better than best!
and honey will flow once more ..... absolutely brilliant ...... Amorphis helps me get through long days in the office
I'm addicted to this song like to honey! Curiously enough, Finland shares its Lemminkäinen myth with Egypt's Osiris. In Osiris's resurrection, wax was used for the phallus. In Lemminkäinen's resurrection, honey as an ointment. The Elected Queen is the oldest representation of the Mother Goddess. Well done, Amorphis! Kiitos, Suomi!
There has been many civilizations before us. There are artifacts that are carbondated to 300 million years, found in coal mine in use many years ago. MSM historians hate all that is older than 6000y ;) All pyramids around the globe was connected before Younger dryas.
Killer track, can't wait for the new album !
Did you also know that the buzzing actually balances the hemispheres of your brain. So if you have anxiety or depression or anything like that, not only is this metal but you can additional benefit out of it :-) look up a breathing technique called Brahmari Breath
I fell in love with this bands music the first time I heard Brother Moon. Little did I know they'd become my favourite band so many years later. This song is absolutely epic. I think we're in for something really special with this new album.
What a way to wake up. 🐝
Tess - Beeee yourself. 🐝
I have a bee in my brain.
"Once more." it buzzes.
And so I click Replay.
Holy shit they did it again! The hype for the new album is real!
They never make a bad song. Never.
Haha, hezký den :)
Amorphis is the only band where I just preorder every new album, never been disappointed.
Beekeeping will never be the same. Amazing.
I don’t know what to say....I love this song......so freaking good.....went to amazon bought CD and vinyl versions.....just blown away
Killer Song. Absolutely amazed. Can't wait to preorder the vinyl.
Can't stop listening to this masterpiece
I'd consider myself a moderate amorphis fan, and I can say honestly with no exaggeration that I listen to this maybe three times a week.
I love how this have so clearly got inspiration from Kalevala and the tale of Lemminkäinen
