Sorry, my fellow metalheads. I listen Eluveitie exactly because they are NOT Nightwish. I hated this song, for its simply not Eluveitie. It's something made for the hit parade of MTV. Tut mir furchtbar leid lüt, aber "A rose for Epona" isch eifach nid Eluveitie.
@tiagoinka ich liebe die abwechslung die annas stimme in die musik gebracht hat auch wenn chrigel natürlich die geilste stimme allerzeiten hat *neid*... und eluveitie waren schon auf vên verdammt eingängig, für mich macht das diese band aus, folk, schwedisch angehauchter todesblech und eine attitüde die eigentlich unglaublich radio tauglich ist...
@tiagoinka Then the answer is simple. Fuck off. You clearly don't understand the meaning or the story behind this song. Eluveitie are about Gaulish history. So this IS Eluveitie.
@headinjuredkeeper Don't think so. Chrigel said that they may not play many songs from the new album on their america-tour because the album won't be released at that time.
:(
Btw: Good to live in Germany, we'll get it earlier :P
I've listened to this song 30+ times today. I love it! I just close my eyes and I am put in a state of calmness. Thank you Eluveitie for this song...and all of your songs.
I've just noticed something silly about Youtube's algorithm. I have a Youtube bookmark, so I can access it easily but I didn't bookmark a regular youtube page but a video I watched at that time (a Final Fantasy VIII playthrough - a band scene). From there I go to my favourites or use the search bar. The weird thing is I suddenly got a lot of Final Fantasy VIII in the related videos. What the hell?
My idealized Eluveitie doesn't segregate their songs to metal and acoustic albums, but instead delivers the whole range of music the group is capable of on each and every album. Looks like they might be moving that way!
People need to understand that this is a concept album. If you want the Eluveitie that wrote Spirit, listen to Spirit for fucksake it didn't go anywhere. Once you take a meaningful look at this song you uncover how intelligent and emotional it is. Who cares if the intro sounds similar, there's a shit ton of music being made everyday, and coincidences like that happen are common. I like the direction the band is taking, it's refreshing and tells a story to millions that otherwise would go untold.
@turisas09 ye're right aboot telling the story but whit's the point? If ye ask me, I'm not so glad they're starting to produce so mainstream music like this track. It sounds like Evanescence or band like that. We have it NOW and no need for next.They've lost something.Where's gaulish, where's pure primordial folk metal?I wouldn't like to see how Eluveitie becomes a next weak band playing fans-friendly songs,'cause those previous were too hard for thair pussy ears. "Meet the Enemy" gives me hope.
@Inaegram How can you say they lost something? If you listen to previous albums the diversity is enormous. Wait till the full album release before complaining. Who knows how all their other songs are? I do agree with you, I hope they maintain the melodic death sound but the main focus should be folk. I like the powerful songs like Calling the Rain though. Still very excited for the rest :)
@Inaegram You must be the worst type of fan ever. Things change, and for Eluveitie it certainly hasn't worsened in any way. They're just different. You can't tell me you'll be the same in 10 years.
And you also have no idea what pop music and their fans are like. Most, if not all, pop music lovers would be incapable of comprehending and appreciating the story and the context in this beauty. Don't worry about them falling into the mainstream. You're just hating the change. Grow up.
an angel once came to earth... and that angel decided to form part of the band named Eluveitie, she plays the Hurdy Gurdy and sings on this song *_* .... really amaizing song, I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!
Very strong story behind this song, and the music just makes it even more powerful. I didn't like Meet the Enemy as much but I'm infatuated with this song right now. I can't wait to see them live again in a few months.
The few people I've shown the song, I had to explain to them that it wasn't about the horse from Zelda.
Thank you!!!!. I can read English but I can't to interpret it when I hear it. Now I know that is spoken in the song and see ... THE LYRICS, THE MUSIC AND VOICE ARE FASCINATING
POR CIERTO LO OLVIDABA... estoy enamorado de Anna Murphy =D
Thank you!!!!. I can read English but I can't to interpret it when I hear it. Now I know that is spoken in the song and see ... THE LYRICS, THE MUSIC AND VOICE ARE FASCINATING
I've listened to this a few times but wasn't impressed. What set me off at first is they decided to go with English lyrics. Gaulish is so much more unique and sounds better imo. The other problem I have is the song, mostly the chorus, is far too pop-rock for my taste, lacking both metal and folk. The only part of this song that I thought was great was the intro melody, which is apparently not even original. I still love Eluveitie though and trust that the album will as a whole will succeed.
A beautiful melody and lyrics... I can feel the desperate calling of this Helvetian woman through the centuries that have past. When music can do that, you know it's just...magical.
And as a fellow pagan I can feel her sorrow when it seems like her goddess has left her and her civilization. It's heartbreaking.
Shame they didnt atleast sing the parts in gaulish.. They really should, its a beautiful language. My oppionion: They should stay true to themselves and their sound, this sounds like evanescence.. Anyways, good to see band progress i guess :)
This is one of the best songs of Eluveitie. Not because it's heavy. This song is so good, because it's just beautiful. You can really feel with Epona. Not every good song has to be heavy.
When I listened this for the first time, without lyrics, it brought tears to my eyes. now I know the lyrics I can feel the song even more, I can feel the sorrow of the Helvetians even after two thousand that have past.
