[ThundyrDrum]

Has anyone else noticed that this song has the exact same melody line as the second part in Cantigas De Santa Maria? Just saying...

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@ThundyrDrum How dare you! How are you!  Just kidding. I haven't heard that other song and know very little about this band.

[ThundyrDrum]

@sw0rd0fadvers1ty oh i dare... lol. just pointing that one out, but still an awesome song, yeah? :D

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

@ThundyrDrum For sure! A very good song...

[ThundyrDrum]

@sw0rd0fadvers1ty too right. love the guitarish piano accordion medieval piratey awesome piratey pirate dancing pirate part in the middle. it reminds me of pirates for some reason...

[swedishmedievaltexan]

I love this song and all of Blackmore's Night songs!

[diadane85]

Schenker and Blackmore! My faves

[SmellyCumfart]

RITCHIE BLACKMORE1!!!!@!!!11!ONEOELEVE­LONE1!221

[andreszko]

Ritchie Blackmore is the best ever. The Supreme Master Of The Guitars!

[billiarboy]

yeah



[ishani859]

That's a very nice song, Love it .

[MrVosslerAzelas]

Blessed be to all the minstrels and the gods. May they shine down on you brightly.

[blerand91]

This is the best music ever.Never heard of Blackmore's Night before I happened to listen their songs especially Ghost of a Rose and Fires at midnight.I get very emotional listening to their songs.It's just great.

[MrKoreanDrama]

I play this whilst I roleplay on WoW.

[SigandGibbs]

@MrKoreanDrama way to pick the most unoriginal MMO on the market

[skltlmage]

simply beautiful

[mashui99]

One of my favorite Blackmore's Night songs. The electric guitar blends in so well with the folk elements. Perfect fusion.

[idalgo2065]

ахуительно! Кендиз и Риччи - молодцы!

[Wulfnor]

As is the Goddess!!!

[blawlashi]

4:46 - 6:33 .. is it just me or this is really one of the best guitar solos of all time?

[diadane85]

@blawlashi How does he keep this pace going, another great Blackmore solo, better and better

[auddintcc]

@diadane85 It's Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. After 40+ years of being a professional musician, I'd imagine he's capable of so much more than current players, especially in terms of diversity.

[cloudednox]

Thanks so much for uploading all this awesome music, adiabatka!

By the way, in case anyone knows Hetalia, don't you think this would in some way be combinable with Poland?

[hotmusic84]

assolutamente fantastici!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[magilord100]

r they wiccans

[mashui99]

@magilord100 Nope

[JasonLGrey]

This is the only song I've found that I can listen to repeatedly and never ever get tired of it. I've listened to this song since I was 13, only stopping at age 18 when my computer mysteriously deleted it and almost all my other music. About a week ago, guess what I found hiding out on an old external hard drive of mine? :)

[PaxTemplarium1991]

beatiful music indeed !1 im 19 and blackmores night is the band that keeps my will of learning classical guitar

[mbkitine]

@PaxTemplarium1991 : This is more than a guitar young man. Satanism is enclosed as a central package of this beautiful masterpiece...

[PaxTemplarium1991]

@mbkitine satanism ? how come?



[heroheidr]

@mbkitine : I'm going to ask you to explain yourself. I see nothing that leads me to equate this song with Satanism. So, please, elaborate.

[JJtronlady]

@mbkitine dude, wicca and Satanism are two different things.

[maniandpink]

Absolutely LOVE this song!! It's been on repeat for a while now. Just discovered Blackmore's Night, and they are my new favorite band.  Almost forgot how much I love this type of music. <3

[adiabatka]

@maniandpink This is my favourite too :)

[Blackcountry7777]

@maniandpink Right bostin ay it, cor blimey id love to see them live wocca wocca

[Yeekininedot]

Thank you for uploading!

[adamlong2501]

I don't enjoy how they do such a great job with this and other songs and then just Butcher it with that electric guitar. It's a shame. :(

[ElyOfIce]

@adamlong2501 What do you mean?

[vidgami46]

Such an incredibly beautiful voice. Usually I don't care too much for vocals and stick with instrumentals, but this is an obvious exception. Absolutely beautiful.

[Slaaneshi611]

@MrXAVIERDB I do love it and I agree so much with you. This is a masterpiece.

[Helena4204]

This song take a bigpipe?

[Wulfnor]

We burnt some fires a midnight for our Pagan Mabon (Fall Equinox) Rites last night. Under a big beautiful Harvest Moon. It's wonderful to be one with the sacred mysteries of the Universe!!!

Bright Blessing to you!!!

[adiabatka]

@Wulfnor Thank you so much! :)

[cessapower]

@Wulfnor I wish I could do the same. I live in an apartment in the city, I can only light a few candles...

[diadane85]

@Wulfnor God is good all the time!!

[weydenmann]

great song with the best guitar-soli in the last years ... I have tears in my eyes

[Succubus1982]

Amazing song. A friend recommended this band and from the songs I've heard so far I don't think I'm going to regret giving them a try!

[stopglobalswarming]

5/5. I like it.

[barwelltony]

beautiful vocals,wonderful guitar

[TheSymmachus]

Awesome freaking folk song! I definitely got into this song; Blackmore's Night is awesome.

By the way, since it has been discussed in the comments here, I am a metalhead as well yet still enjoy folk bands like this one, Death in June, Sol Invictus, Jethro Tull, Gryphon, and so on (the type of folk varies, of course, but you get the idea). I should listen to more folk music.

[adiabatka]

@TheSymmachus Do you listen pagan metal or folk metal too? I love that because it is metal and folk musin in one :)

[TheSymmachus]

@adiabatka I do listen to folk metal and, to not as great of an extent, pagan metal. Some of the bands I'm into are Korpiklaani, Orphaned Land, Skyclad, Eluveitie, Turisas, Primordial, Mael Mórdha, Uaral, Waylander, Agalloch, Ensiferum, Empyrium, Holy Blood, and so on and so forth. This type of music is a testament to how both metal and folk can come in a large variety.

[adiabatka]

@TheSymmachus Wow, you really know what is good ;) Have you ever heard some songs by Arkona? It is a Russian band with great woman singer :) My favourite song is Goi, Rode, Goi! If I listen this music (and also Korpiklaani, Eluveitie and many others) I am in the other world... The celtic instruments and great guitar in it... mmm, that's mine! :)

[TheSymmachus]

@adiabatka That is pretty cool. I have heard of Arkona, but I haven't checked them out yet. I think I will check out the song you mentioned after writing this comment.

[ethickca]

@TheSymmachus oo, i gotta lok up those bands! thanks! i love all forms of music, so i am always looking up new stuff!

[TheSymmachus]

@ethickca Cool, thanks for the interest.

[ushrit]

That solo...among Blackmore's very best. Only he can wrench such emotion out of an electric guitar.

[DancesWithJoy]

I keep hearing so many people say that metal heads are not supposed to like this band. This hurts my head! Why are people only allowed to like and enjoy one genre? Is this a law or something? I have been a metalhead since 1978 and if I did not love good quality metal I would not be able to love and appreciate and enjoy this band as much as I do. I hear more power in this than most bands that make my ears bleed. The extreme talent, versatility, and emotion of all the artists is rivaled by few.

[amethyst48]

@DancesWithJoy Some of us listen to everything. I love BN here, I listen to folk and pagan metal, Celtic, mongolian throat singing, tribal music from Ghana and Botswana, europop, classoc, oldies, bagpipes. You name I listen to it-mostly lol, I go with the flow and what I like. btw love the name u have

[amethyst48]

@amethyst48 btw I am 51 lol and a school teacher lol

[dragoo468]

great song good group even though this is off topic.....in the words of the great primus:"until all are one..TRANSFORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[vikingmetalownz]

Does anyone else think the melody is identical to Maria Virgin by In Extremo?

[DancesWithJoy]

@vikingmetalownz If the melodies are similar it would be interesting to see which song was composed first.

[TheBazman111]

This band i like because of the medievil sound and fantasy lyrics though i really should'ent because i am quiet a hardend metal and hard rock head but the music is great and candice isa quality singer i think this band helped out mr blackmore he did not seem to have much of a direction of where he was going musically so it helped him settle down

[adiabatka]

@TheBazman111

I listen metal too, but I love this music very much :) We don't need to have only one music style if we like other things too :)

[KimOfDrac]

@TheBazman111 they also mix gypsy and pirate music :) it's wonderful and unique

[dragoo468]

@TheBazman111 yeah considering over his life hes been in at least 3 bands so he does need to calm down

[Angloth]

@TheBazman111 its very easy to listen to metal and get sucked into listening to only metal. i was like that for around 2 years, but ive opened myself up alot and have found thousands of great bands!

[Jasonbobdude]

There are tons of fantasy-themed bands, but you don't hear many with this kind of medieval sound. It's really great and unique. I should probably buy this entire album...

[UrkraftVonTodholen]

Search "Quem a Omagen Da virgen"

[tirnanog80]

imagine, a fire, two driads which sing this beautiful song during a Beltaine festival... I know I'm Italian but it's a unique emotion!!!

[EmilBlueLime]

I feel alone allot but while listening to this music I feel a bit better about life.

[adiabatka]

This music can heal everything, because it takes us to another world of fantasy and magic, and Candice Night sings these songs with love and happiness, so you feel better when you listen to it :)

[Eugenia288]

Hello friend! I agre with you, i feel kind of same feelings when i listen to Candice she is really fantastic sometimes i think here what the happiness of love makes with people they can bring it into the world, share it with another people. I feel much better too and energise myself with some positive things and imagine, imagine, imagine of someting good.

[alinbrunetu]

@EmilBlueLime why do you feel alone ?

[tigerglory]

This song chears me up when I feel a bit alone or sad :), Blackmore's Night is really good!

[SuperSTEPHEN1989]

THIS IS ONE BEAUTIFUL SONG WOW

[DaughterOfTheSon93]

joooooj ja ne mogu da verujem... zimi sve kidate... ja sam vash velik fan... mlogo ve hajem x)

[trutz666]

Ritchie and Candice are fantastic musicians, so is the band. It is bringing peace to us, same peace has brought Candice to Ritchie

[eftstraaga]

Great song great solo!

[TheBlackBoots]

This song is a masterpiece!

[iheartseptimusheap]

cool song.

[azzr1978]

this is not my type of music but i gotta tell you this is awesome celtic(irish) music is getting bigger and bigger

[tigerglory]

I love Blackmore's Night, cover or not, they're awsome :D

[Alicondracon]

Beautiful music. I love Blackmore's Night.

[TiaVampire]

My favourite Blackmore's Night song.

[billyboyd94]

Beautiful, beautiful music!

[Marleywen]

most beautiful song ever!!!!

[zinaku]

Get their concert DVDs, you will NOT be dissappointed! Lyrics and Melodies that happily haunt you for weeks on end. Even better to listen to before or as your heading to a RenFaire.

[m0hdx]

awesome song...

[MrCeall]

i am a teen in the states and i have always love the celtic feel but this song creats image into your mind this is more that music to me this is an emotion portrayed

[blahmehmonda]

Good lord, Richie has always been one of my favorite guitarists, I think this is my new favorite band.

[jonybeam]

Welcome to the fold ye friend,it's never too late.The 6 studio albums BN have produced are beyond brilliant particualrly the first 3 and as for live wll they are simply amazing.go see em as they are touring the US in the next few weeks.

[bloozemc]

just saw them last night in orlando and as you say....amazing....she is wonderful..as is the band..ty for the welcome

[SilverWolfMoon]

They have 7 studio albums...

and it's now the perfect time of year for #6 "Winter Carols" :)

[jonybeam]

yes your correct though i don't consider winter carols to be anything more than a covers album albeit carol covers with the exception of a couple of tracks.good album all the same mind

[SilverWolfMoon]

I don't see how a mix of traditional carols and their own Winter themed songs count as a 'covers album', especially considering that they include a variety of covers on all their albums...

[jonybeam]

because all but two tracks ARE covers that's why.the other albums have all but two at most that are not covers.can you see the difference or do you wish me to go into more detail?!!

[jonybeam]

once again and this is my final comment to you.all but two songs are not composed by blackmore and co therefore making it covers album no matter who wrote the music previously be it hendrix/tull/handel satan or anybody else (even you god forbid).finito

[SilverWolfMoon]

Repost:

They are *TRADITIONAL* carols, which is very different from usual 'covers'. Hence, refering to it as a 'covers album' is rather misleading. Many bands cover traditional songs, but because those songs have no definitive original artist {and/or author}, they are regarded differently to standard covers.

Also, their other studio albums contain a mix of cover, traditionals, and 'trad interpretations' {Ritchie's re-workings of trad tunes}.

Oh, and "Village Lanterne" has 4 covers...

[jonybeam]

God almighty you sure can pick an argument with a nun can't you!!pointless discussion this so think whatever you like cause you seem a pretty boring person to me,cheerio

[cyberlitro]

this is a really masterpiece

[an4st]

masterpiece

[Hesiona69]

Wonderful... ful of dreams :o

[tanio84]

<3 *_*

[KayariOfMidnight]

As much as I love Blackmore's Night (and I really do love them) this is undoubtedly their most wonderful work.

[prup3]

Fires At Midnight I stood out here once before With my head held in my hands For all that I had known of this place I could never understand On the hills the fires burned at midnight Superstition plagued the air Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight The stars are out and magic is here I wished on the seven sisters Bring to me wisdom of age All that's locked within the book of secrets I longed for the knowledge of a sage

[prup3]

On the hills the fires burned at midnight Superstition plagued the air Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight Stars are out the magic is here The stars are out the magic is here So, the sisters smiled to themselves And they whispered as they shone And it was from that very instant I knew I would never be alone While on the hills The fires burned at midnight Superstition plagued the air Sparks fly as the fires burned at midnight Stars are out and magic is here

[prup3]

The stars are out and the magic is here Many stars were forgotten Many faded and became ghosts Still my sisters glittered down from heaven Always there when I needed them most And on the hills the fires burned at midnight Superstition plagued the air Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight Stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here I stood here once before

[prup3]

With my head in my hands

For all that I had known of this place

I could never understand

On the hills the fires burned at midnight

Superstition plagued the air

Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight

Stars are out and magic is here

Stars are out and magic is here

Stars are out and magic is here

Stars are out and magic is here

[Kasiya85]

<3 not more!

[ELmariachi303]

this is a great and powerful song

[sarleenka]

nádherná písnička!! :)  nejhezčí od BN!!

[allhopersareassholes]

A skvěle zahraná je na koncertě Paris Moon :)

[Brandz771]

Is this Song Refrencing the Forgotten Realms world ?

[Valmy77]

No this is based on a poem written by the Medieval King of Castile Alfonso the tenth. The seven sisters are the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades.

[simonitro]

It's one of these songs and moments to give me a reason why I love this band.

Their music is sweet and addictive and better than any drug or drink and by the end of the day, you're a happy camper.

Blackmore's Night Forever!

[BuanCeol]

no words .. only magical experience .... I wish you would feel it too :)

[adiabatka]

I feel it so too ;) It's one of my favourite songs by BN. I see many magical things when I listen it. I love their music and texts, it's perfect!

[BuanCeol]

noo vidím že můžu psát česky :D  jo máš pravdu :) BN jsou prostě úžasní :)

[adiabatka]

To teda jo... Kolikrát mě inspirují i k psaní různých povídek a pohádek :) A hlavně se při tom poslouchání cítím úplně jinak... strašně fajn :)

[BuanCeol]

Máš pravdu .. já se cítím mnohem uvolněnějc a nězatěžuju se všedníma věcma, takže kráásná relaxace :) a ke každé písničce co od nich znám mě napadá alespoň jeden příběh :) je to prostě síla ;)

[CzechMetalHeart]

Blackmore's Night sou parádní jako fakt klobouk dolu před Ritchiem a jeho tvorbou....:) tohle sou písničky u kterejch se parádně usíná a nebo přemejšlí... :)

[VincentDeMontmirel]

Magnifique...

[RitchieBrinckmore]

Don't drink and drive, don't smoke and fly. Listen to this instead.

[yellowzor]

[Oxynidus]
