  • If i find anybody saying anything bad about my mate Ritchie then i will personally hit them with my 68 white fender - so make it good!

  • He can still play, and maybe he's always wanted to wear leggings, tunic, elf shoes and peasant hat.

    But I'll bet he was floatin out in the Rocksoff Nebula with his head on her boobs when she said "So we'll dress up medieval and I'll do the vocals, okay?"

    I'd say "Hell yeah, why not?", wouldn't you?

  • Soonpush, hopefully you'll soon push your idiotic, superficial self off the map.

  • i want a fucking metal coveR! :D

  • She's a sane Stevie Nicks.

  • very beautiful xD

  • I love Richie's hat in this one! Just would like to see the complimentary broomstick that came with it...

  • What the hell has gone wrong with Ritche ........... from Rock and Roll Dark Prince to this bland apparition of middle class conformity ................. Candice must be a great root for this to happen!!

  • @tellsome1else  She is !!

  • like the video!

  • Beautiful woman with equally beautiful voice. Astounding guitarist with a lot of talent, if a bit arrogant. What more do I need?! Oh, yes - a pair of hi-tech speakers and a key to lock my room so I could listen to them for as much as I want.

  • perfect song! and more perfect clip!

  • Just amazing!

  • Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night, Awsome, Love it...

  • Blackmore portrayed the musical approach as Mike Oldfield & Enya, however I remind it as Loreena McKennitt.

    Most people don't know that he directly makes Night's vocal melodies

    It's virtually Rainbow's soft rock version.

  • @soonpush MY ASS SOUNDS LIKE RAINBOW.HE SHOULD RETURN TO RAINBOW AND PUT HIS PANTS BACK.HE MUST BE BEWITCHED.

  • @masterpatricZeta3 Ha! Look at Candice. Listen to her. Ya blame him? Purple & Rainbow are ancient history

  • @beggindogs it might be but this is not rock at all.at least he can do a new band and sound like a man.this is boring after 2 cds.

    Thank's God Doogie never sold himself to this level.Cornerstone,Yngwie, and thousand more bands,Sorry to see this man now.Honestly.

  • It isn't strange at all. The song is written by Peter Grönwall, who is the son of Benny Andersson from ABBA...

  • I think it's both funny and interesting to hear how a legend like Ritchie Blackmore picks up an old forgotten Swedish song by a forgotten Swedish one-hit-wonder-90's-group, to make a cover of. However, I think this is a great song and I think they did a quite good job. I have to say that the original is better though. If you like this version, you should check out the original!

  • @Erotomania89 It kind of reminds me a bit of Abba, personally.

  • I understand some people refuse to want to let Richie grow up, That's one thing. But man, look at this crazy video!! the 3-D effects in it remind me of the big 80s videos, But better(?) Anyway Candice Night is so fine I guess I would want to be following her around all the time as well! Let the Man Be, he served you well for years!

  • @ssolo8 well said. he has done all the "peacock rock" as he calls it strutting all over playing flashy solos. As good as purple, rainbow were this is what he wants to do now and we all know Blackmore always gets what he wants....

  • Boring now. A few albums of this stuff was ok but it's so predictable now. For a guy who used to push the boundaries he really has dropped into safe mode. I love Ritchie to bits and i know he's older and doing what he wants which is fair play but i just wish he'd Rock Out one more time cos he's stiill got class no matter what genre of music he plays. DP Mark 4 anyone?

  • Blackmore´s Night took money for the cancelled concert in Svihov castle.

    Two weeks the promoter tried to contact BN to agree on compensation of the concert to their fans. Using the tickets from Svihov for the next concert was suggested. BN manager didn´t respond to e-mails and ignored phone calls although the full payment for the concert had been on BN bank account and all advance invoices of the providers´ had been paid.

  • @Pesakar sounds like the manager is a douche?

  • @Pesakar I purchased tickets for a marilyn manson concert in Sacramento once, they cancelled the show due to the Columbine Shootings. I never got my money back. It wasn't because of the band, it was because of the policy of Ticket Master, no refunds.

  • Good cover but not as good as the original

  • I LOVE YOU CANDY!!!

    *_______* BN 4EVER! ♥

  • When I first head this song, I loved it!

  • I think the song is great, Candice is talented & beautiful (possibly indeed Ian!) and I wish them both all the success & happiness in the world in both the Blackmores Night project as well as their marriage. Candice's lyrics are top notch insightful & inspired (though she didn't write this one) and Ritchie is a guitar God from way back. Can you blame him for turning away from real rock (which in my book died back in 1990) and after 30 years of been there & done that things do tend to get old.

  • This fucking sucks! Poor Ritchie...I guess all the drugs finally fucked him up for real this time!!!!!!!!

  • i think simon cowell bought blackmore and hypnotised him to be gay because he is a shadow of the man he was if his old self could see him 2day hed blow his head off i used to be a blackmore fan for a long time but after seeing this crap ive switched to led zeppelin at least were safe with jimmy page hes got a deal with the devil going on so i would be shocked if he ended up like this cant say the same for plant though his latest stuff is weird

  • Men Without Hats anyone?

  • @brianmckenna1111 LOL, Marty Stewart and Travis Tritt already did the "No Hats Tour" back in the 90's. With special guest Toy Caldwell.

  • ww, what an amazing meaning this song holds!

  • candice's big boobs were the only things that made me saw the video to the end

  • They're going to break into "The Safety Dance" at any minute.

  • Comment removed

  • ritchie did site abba as one of his favorite bands,,,this is pityfull.

  • Seriously, why is blackmore playing the scarecrow? couldn't he have been the tin woodsman?

  • We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind, 'cuz your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, they're no friends of mine..

  • Yeah, video sucks! But I heard their version of this excellent tune live this evening and it sounded very, very good! This video doesn't even show what a superb singer Candice really is. Go to the gigs to hear her -you want regret it!

  • How to make a dull song!. Are you going to do a cover, making it better!.

  • the corniest music video ever - omg, u can see the pain in ritchie's eyes.

    he was talked into this... he hates music videos!

  • a collaboration with Mike Oldfield would be interesting.  Maggie Rilley and Candice as a duo too.....

  • Who cares, this music i light years ahead of anything on commercial radio any time any day

  • for this woman i would change whatever she wants^^

  • Good music... But I'd say it fair to call the video weak. 

  • Composition, music, and singing are always great with these guys, but their lyrics have always taken a back seat, and are sometimes painful and even

    embarrassing. To be fair however, their popular stuff is not always their best stuff.

  • @fallenlester For your info composition and music is made by the Swedish group "One more time" composer Peter Grönvall , Benny Anderssons (ABBA) son. see orginal

  • uck! commercials. euw.

  • Dear Blackmores...i used to hang out at mannies 20 yer back for 30 min appropriate

  • well said.the man is a "legend" and that word is too often used in todays circles of cheesy pop stars and overpaid footballers.the man can play whatever he wants without having to please the masses. hes earned the right.

  • All these comments from those who think rap is an actual form of music, in other words, they know fuck all about real music. Ritchie Blackmore is one of rocks greatest guitarists, and Candice Night has a great voice, and she's nice to look at.

  • I would expect this sound from Taylor Swift ..this is as far away from the renaissance period as you can get. It's well executed, but clearly there is a conflict in direction of music. Renaissance music was very structured and thematic. The common goodly man did not step out of the boundaries of the Church and ruling Lord; while the low man would have robbed the traveling minstrel (or thrown their chamber pots at them).

  • I could do withOUT the vocals.

  • But his talent is SO wasted here!!!

  • Okay, I apologize for saying he "sold out" for a woman - on another post! He's still great - and obviously happy. And he HAS proven himself.

  • I liked BM, but they just keep getting cheesier and cheesier. WTF is this? Something I'd expect to hear on teen disney.

  • @onceweekly

    lol This is very cheesy. But the guy can afford to do what he wants at this rate. He's a geezer what more can be said?

  • Blackmore definitely looks like GHEDDAFI!!!

    Hahahah!

    Much appreciation and respect for the LEGEND he will always be :)

  • fab

  • I really like their music. Ritchie Blackmore still knows how to write and play good music.

    Does anybody know where I can find a guitar pro Tab for this song?

  • This song is very pop. They forgot the meaning of the medieval mind: (

  • Ritchie could be making a fortune with Deep Purple touring arenas around the world. Instead, he is doing what he wants to do. He is a brilliant musician and has found the perfect partner in Candice.

  • In my opinion, Ritchie just keeps getting better and better. I am a rocker from way back (60's & 70's) and I loved all the hardcore stuff, but times and people change. You can love more that one genre of music and broaden your horizons a bit. There are some narrow minded people who just have to criticize a great artist to make themselves look "cool", but hey - it doesn't.

  • He HAS earned the right to play whatever he wants. But does he have to look like he's utterly mental as well ? Every time I see him, I think of Baldrick. "Lazy" was never like this !

  • you do all realize this is an ABBA cover,...

  • @velardur Actually no, it's a One More Time - Cover. But they have ABBA-connection in that Peter Grönvall is the son to Benny Andersson

  • @johlor80 ah yes,...true,...wierd, i have an ablum at home where the song is actually listed as an ABBA-song,...lol

  • @velardur Hmm..got to check my booklet when I get home too? :P But well, it's still a good song. Funny enough they seem to like cover swedish artists. Rednex, One More Time, Nordman etc. :)

  • I heard this uplifting song for the first time just yesterday. After you tipped me off that this is a cover, I looked up the original, and now I have two versions of a great tune! I love youtube. Thanks ^_^

  • anyway this band is good, some songs are nice, and importantly blackmore still rocks though mellowed..u rock \m/

  • anyway, this band is good..this song is ok, but i dont feel right to this song..blackmore rocks \m/

  • Comment removed

  • niiiice this is really good stuff i love it ....

  • i started playing guitar because of ritchie,i really like what hes doing now

  • This is my favorite video so far from Ritchie and Candice..... reminds me of Errol Flynn"s 1939 Robin Hood movie. Ritchie is a genius!

  • Candice has a gorgeous voice! What an amazing singer!!!

  • This is nice but the original by "One more time" is better

  • Wonderfull song. Love this Band, they are really Great...

  • This is an awesome video! I wish I knew how to play it!

  • One thing I have noticed about Ritchie after listening to him all these years, every album is distinctly different with new innovations and new sounds. I won't say that I like or dislike what I hear here, it is just different than anything I have heard come out of Blackmore's Night before.

  • @metalgoth Despite her age? WTF She's barely in her 40s. She looks damned hot for 40.

  • @pyrogator1970 For real. 

  • Beautiful and natutral at once, Blackmore's Night is if simple the only good music we have right now. Candice is all over this song for the eye-candy and Ritchie is delivering a thoughtfully composed and great-sounding melody.

  • Beautiful and natutral at once, Blackmore's Night is if simple the only good music we have right now. Candice is all over this song for the eye-candy and Ritchie is delivering a throughly composed and great-sounding melody.

  • Beautiful and natutral at once, Blackmore's Night is if simple the only good music we have right now.

  • This has got to be one of the worst videos I've ever seen.

  • @coreycaffeine

    I love that double neck acoustic lute too!

    An instrument for a Renaissance rock star!

  • Sick of these fucking ads

  • I tried but I just don't get it. It's bland, average and amatuer. The only possible explanation I have for this is that Blackmore lost his marbles and whilst he was trying to find them fell in love with the blonde lass who said "there,there Ritchie, it's alright, I can sing so let's go and make elevator music together" and thus t'was it born. Jesus, how the mighty fall.

  • @patrick2976 another possible explanation doesn't involve Ritchie at all.... :-)

  • come on what the shit , deep purple richie blackmore with this, oke fortience with soldiers. but this , come on were is the wild rock starr.

  • Poor Ritchie ,after making some amazing music with DP and Rainbow  he turned into dwarf :p

  • Sorry for doubleposting :(

  • The original song search for One more Time - Highland

    But Blackmore/Night is doing a great job with this song.

    Love the sound they give us.

    Love the sound they give us.

  • its just genius, more i listen more i like this song. обожаю эту песню.

  • she is gorgeous. from her voice to her breathtaking appearance. richie is one hell of a lucky man...

  • Can anyone explain why the camera goes in and put of focus over 6 times throughout the video? It's a great song. The focus thing is distracting.

  • @VF31Rules I know what you mean but chances are that is all they had to work with in the editor's room and I am sure they did not want to take the time to go out and reshoot that scene.

  •  loved it , Wish they come to Cardiff Wales.v_v

  • БлагоДарю! ))

  • never underestimate the power of the _____ it reigns supreme.

  • Generic song and one of the worse videos I've ever seen.

    Ritchie is a total genius and Candice is still super hot, but this band is becoming kind of an embarrassment.

  • Blackers is the Master

  • very good glad a facebook contact put this up on his wall have now found a new groupe to lisen to.liked blakemore in deep purple what a change in musical direction brilliant well done richie and candice

  • Comment removed

  • jё_ёjj song is gooooood♪

  • "Despite her age" (metalgoth). How old do you have to be to be "pretty".

    She is in her 40's for goodness sake!

  • i dig this music an i grew up on deep purple.Very smart man being touch with the nature.

  • Nicely done, and fills a nice niche between Tull and Steeleye Span (or maybe Clannad)

  • Great tune, i'll be humming it for weeks.....

  • The song is goood, but the video...

  • Pretty cool song ! I’m 11 years old and did some blackmore’s night guitar covers. If you wanna check ‘em out…. Cheers from France.

  • Lastly, this music isn't bad at all. Yeah, it's different, but it's still good. He's not repeating the same old tired stuff he's played for years, he's still creating good music. Props to Ritchie for not standing still.

  • For all those who think Ritchie has either sold out or lost his marbles for playing this music, you are so wrong.

    To begin with, he has earned the right to play whatever he wants to play, seeing as he created the single most recognizable riff in guitar history. Yeah, the riff from smoke on the water.

    Secondly, all one has to do is look back at DP album "The Book of Talisyn"(sp), to see he's had a bit of an obsession with celtic/folk/medevil music for 40 years. Look at DP, then at Rainbow.

  • You don't know that "Autumn Sky" sold 100000 copies during it's first week in Russia.

    "Village Lanterne" also sold 100000 copies in Russia.

    Blackmore's Night always made chart success in Germany from 1997.

    "Shadow of the Moon" sold 100000 copies in Japan.

    I don't think that he was good guitarist, but I think that he is good business man.

    Blackmore is considered as rich man because he gets enough royalties yearly, after having sold hard rock records' 100 million copies in the world.

  • @mashui99

    Blackmore was essentially studio session musician from early 1960's Outlaws, Heinz, Glenda Collins. Currently 66 years old, he clearly want to concentrate on only album productions, so he quite dislike hard work live performances.

  • @StarsnBars64 I think its the perfect venue for him to showcase his talents! Been listening to this band for years now, its such good music!

  • @StarsnBars64 SOTW more recognizable than Link Wray's Rumble? You gotta be bullshittin' me, mate.

    Blackmore's Night is a good idea, and I respect Blackmore for actually attempting something. Problem is, that band's concept has really worn itself thin by now.

  • @StarsnBars64 You dont have to earn the right to do what you like.

    Yeah and for all the deep hard-rock blackmore fans - Go and see the live show - It is an absolute rockandroll Kickass Show. Blackmore will always be Blackmore!!

  • @lizardking4u

    This is still "real music" even if you don't like. Yet I don't like it, not this song, or the album it's from. It just sounds too pop, I preferred some of their earlier stuff really.

  • I've made a lyrics vid to this song ;-)) seen on my channel.

    I love their sounds and her voice. Keep going Candice ;-)

  • This song is composed by ABBA Benny´s son Peter Grönwall and his wife Marianne

  • Why not? Very romantic and finely.

  • I've been looking for this song for over 5 years! Finally i've found it! I love it!

  • Another good song well fit for Candice's voice.

  • It's a poor copy of Men Without Hats !

  • @davebest2001 are you bloody insaine

  • BRAVO!!!!

  • I'm enjoying this latest one. They are very interesting and the scenery is incredible in many of their videos.

  • @dtunzzlistener This is my home land (Czech republic). And Castle in this clip is Karlštejn.

  • @prott100 You all have an incredible rich history all over that part of this world. I have not been there in many years but I've seen a number of castles. High on my list to see again some day if I can.

  • @dtunzzlistener Thank you, my land and my culture is curious history . But our memories is uniquely .

    Sorry my English is very bad .But i like acquaint with you. Where are you from? My name is Party Dj Tomi.

    I am Wedding Dj in my land. My Profi Email is (partydj.tomi@email.cz)

  • Candice and Richie have been making Renaissance music for about 15 years now, and it's one of the only things that keeps me sane. For those of you that are not rennies, you'll never understand, do not leave negative comments, this music is beautiful, it embraces faire... A place that takes us back to a simpler time, a place where we can let our imaginations and dreams flow, escape reality and be accepted and smiled at by everyone, being in this frame of mind is something to be embraced, Huzzah!

  • I love this song!!! thanks mr. Blackmore! XD

  • no no no, her voice is beautiful but the original with One more time is much better! This is not a modern song, you have to have the 80's(or early 90's :P) cheesy electric sound and overpowerful beat!!

  • Ritchie Blackmore please get back to DP or Rainbow again!!!

  • ♥♥♥♥ *-------* ♥♥♥♥ I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEE BLACKMORE's NIGHT!!!!

  • Krásná písnička :-)

  • @ NotoriousApocalypse: Ritchie is doing what he loves to do, what he wants to do. Do you really blame him for being lucky?

  • Lets marching on! Tigers to the front! Lets go and free Berlin...

  • Stormbringer anyone?!

  • Krása! Vždy když slyším zpěvačku této kapely, mám pocit plný nadšení. Jsem vděčný za to, že vůbec tato kapela vznikla!

    PS: VŠEM, KTEŘÍ MÁTE BLACKMORE'S NIGHT RÁDI PŘEJI, ABY SE VÁM NADÁLE LÍBILA, PŘÍJEMNÝ POSLECH!

  • @Thornthori Keyboard problems? Hate it when that happens...

  • I didn't know people wore renaissance outfits in 90s sitcom credits. Is this sabrina?

  • She sounds like a club singer man! Ritchie rules the world though!

  • Comment removed

  • Blackmore's Night é incrível... E ninguém diz a verdade quando odeia eles ;D

  • WOHOOOOOO!!! I LOVE BLACKMORE'S NIGHT! *---* ♥

    CAAAANDICE!! WOHOOOO!!! :D

  • Is it just me, does this song, not have some "Safety Dance" over it ? :)

  • Despite her age, she is very pretty ^^

  • @metalgoth34 Her age? She's like 40 years old.... That's still in her prime. She's gorgeous, and I'd find myself extremely lucky to be with a woman who looks like this goddess.

  • @deathbladeselite well considering i am only 14 years old

  • @metalgoth34 not pretty...HOT!

  • @d0inurm0m No...Pretty
