Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song - In the forest

[snakework]

This song is just wow. I can't describe it to you. Seriously, goosebumps every single time. It applies to so many things that I have gone through in life. Be that long lost love, friends dying, missing my family. This song gives me hope, and it brings such wonderful images to my mind. Kudos x1000

[omfgskyrim]

dude i feel for you loosing your mate and all.

[metalgear523]

Great, another flame war about religion. This is turning into a Disturbed music video.

[wildboy789789]

we need genetic cure to fix genetic diseases... but christians will fight tooth and nail to make sure everyone dies and meets jesus lol

[TheVistaLord]

@wildboy789789 that pisses me off,ill decide when i fuckin die,no offence to christains but im not leaving when they tell me to,if god wants it sure,but im not gunna let some nutjobs kill me before my actual time of death,so kiss my ass,ill die when the lord is ready for me,till then suck it

[wildboy789789]

@TheVistaLord im glad you feel that way... but i seriously think they will try to make genetic cures illegal... christians and especially evangelicals wont like the idea of humans living 300 years lol... but i dont care, me and millions of others will fight back

[TheVistaLord]

@wildboy789789 ooh yah ill join yah brother,im not gunna let them step one foot closer without some serious beatdowns coming their way,you can believe what you will,but when i die if i do meet god,ill be embarrised and ill apologize but im going to fight for myself and the life of others who will be fightingvaginest them,just because i dont believe doesnt make me satans follower or a haratic,it means I dont know what the fucks out there,get off your high horses bastards

[TheVistaLord]

@TheVistaLord ooh and another thing,you cant claim to do something in gods name...what did he just appear in a flash and tell you to do this and that,or say ooh god told me to do this,really? out of all the other people he chose you to tell to jump off a bridge,suicide=hell dumbasses, and you cant say people are just going straight to hell for not believing,first off god will give you a fair fuckin trial,this isnt the peoples court type of trial,a fair one to explain your actions,numbskulls

[TheVistaLord]

one last note, god wouldnt have givin free will if he wanted everyone to believe in him,explain that geniuses,he did this so we could believe what we chose to believe,and sure,it may not be correct,but he gives us a chance to correct it,its not tetris where if you miss that slot you lose the game,no think about it,a man like this has to have some rationality as well as acceptance for who we are,i mean were all unique you cant say ooh your going to hell and you sir are going to burn,your not god.

[TheVistaLord]

@TheVistaLord your not god you dont get to say who burns and who doenst..

[Taud]

@TheVistaLord No one burns, stop trying to scare the children!

[Coldcman]

If you are listening this song and you find it inspirating, then the souls of you and me are bound. Listen to the cover for this song made by Van Canto and you will not regret...

[Monacska1]

Hajdú lacim...kedves édesapája  szeretem a lelked .......ugy sajnálom nagyon örökké velem leszel lélekben mindig mindenhol de sajnos ez van!!!a munka harcosa vagy..és ez nem ...célok nélkül nekem nem:cry:

[nazisucksass]

Thumbs up for absolutely no effects on the recording!

[PiratkingLuffy]

49 peoples dislike their origins

[Smulborn]

Amazing.

[Rivendark]

Quite Bathory influeced, I like it :)

[FollowTheCookie666]

i cant describe my feeling in words about this song...im speechless.......

[10FROZEN10]

Wanna hear something REAL = This song is EPIC !

[Vicenterpp]

great music, your friend will remain our minds forever dud.

também sou brasuca, meus sentimentos pela sua perda camarada, que ele esteje em lugar melhor agora, no paraíso.

[mynameismatt2010]

What would you call this type of music? Like, the genre.

[alexaberryz105]

@mynameismatt2010 it's called 'acapella metal'

[trueblueaussiyacunt]

@alexaberryz105 acapella is vocal only!! acoustic metal maybe

[6Joker1909]

Masterpiece!!!!



[jjkillerbird]

Wacken 2011! \m/

[sniperfranky]

@jappieman12345 Blind Guardian DO have lots of publicity... every metal exp knows their songs.

[lofaces]

Muito bom!!!

[panzerdiniz]

=\

saudadesss

[darkadi]

j'adore cette chanson

[Lobitta504]

beautiful

[Floodwoman]

Love cette chanson!

[ThanosK20]

the song says it all,i have nothing to say!!!MAGIC!!!!

[mowmoh]

I love this. I want to listen to more of this kind of "Bard music". Where should I look for it? Can you tell me some song names, or artists?

Honor to the Blind Guardian; this kind of song makes me weep

[Metalflamme]

@mowmoh check out where dragons fly by rhapsody.

[mordok9999]

Every time I hear one of Blind Guardian's songs, they take one step closer to becoming my favorite band.

[bitchofireland]

Long live the bards <3

[joren11111]

love that song very much



[89Obscure]

Power/folk metal at its best. Long live the bards.

[Schokokekseesser]

love that song

[1LacrimAlventO]

<3

[ElgartheWise]

This song, for me, is about the love for storytelling itself rather than the lust for fame and glory through being a successful writer. Awesome music and deep feelings.

[TheIrezasRise]

@ElgartheWise I hear ya :P

[raskullcastilla]

One of my best friends, Luis Miguel Pedroviejo, died yesterday because of a terminal cancer. This was his favourite song. We will always remember you!

It would be great if this comment was most voted so others can know about his fight against his disease, and how he died being only 17 years old. May this teach you that some people have REAL problems. Thanks!

(Sorry if my english isn't perfect, its my second language)

[ElgartheWise]

@raskullcastilla It is your duty now, as a friend, to remember him.

[raskullcastilla]

@ElgartheWise He died with a smile on his face.

[Tormentofprophecy]

@raskullcastilla that was truely touching and this song will remind me of this now, of the real problems people face.

my condolences on your freind's passing.

[heavygunz301]

@raskullcastilla He may be gone. But his song still remains, forever. Sorry for the loss man :(

[W0lfHK]

@raskullcastilla  I am sorry for your friend, i am sure he will be remembered!! peace

[Tene111]

@raskullcastilla Your first language is Spanish? (because your friend's name, you two might be Spanish or Mexican). I'm sure that this song sounded in his mind when he died, and he will be in a better place (at least better than this world).

We are all with you.

[vargmetallisk]

@raskullcastilla I agree with you man, in every place will have someone with more problems than us.

The people forgets that when you born the unique certain is that you will die, it's a natural law.

I mean it was hard to him fight against this disease, but now is over, if there is life after death, i wish him a great life.

By the way, english is my secon language too.

[taimtodie]

@raskullcastilla i'm sure he was a great.... man and all, but i fail to see why this song needs a story about a courageous battle against cancer, i understand it's horrible and all, taken my greatuncle and my grandfather before i could ever remember who they were, however, i don't believe youtube is the place, and i don't see why everyone needs to know why it's a real problem, just enjoy the music

not meaning to be a troll but damn

[Ash1982]

@taimtodie hmmm i think its ok to dedicate songs to people and let others know, but all opinions are respectfully taken on.

[Taud]

@taimtodie some people need to post something like that, not for their fallen friend, but for themselves so they can move on, i dont believe this is your video so, just let them deal with it however they have to, you dont decide that im afraid....

Im not trying to be a jerk either, the music is for everyone and if it helps someone move on you should understand

[RockabillyAnt]

@raskullcastilla May he rest in peace! ..

[metalgear523]

@raskullcastilla I'll remember him good sir. He'll forever remain in my heart and mind even if I didn't know him, as the song describes.

[zombiezombie1977]

@raskullcastilla sorry for Your loss:(((

[handbanana2408]

@raskullcastilla dude stfu no he didnt...stop the pity party

[Scarecrow545]

@raskullcastilla

I'm sorry to hear about your friend bud, even 9 months later. Music connects us all though =)

[Crowsinger]

Hey, look! I can post even a more useless comment than yours! I can play 1/3 of this on my beautiful guitar! Am I not a genius?

That's annoying. Just shut up and at least try to look smart for a moment. It could prove useful sometimes... who knows?

[tsrio711]

素晴らしい名曲。このバンドを知った時はまだ若かったなぁｗ

[Evildead74]

@jappieman12345 ..... Blind Guardian existe since 1984 and their are the biggest power metal group in the world ! do you think that they need some publicity ? mdr

[Zardikar94]

I like your clip much. Only thing i have to add is more forest pictures.

[ogrofrost]

esta cancion si es linda, que barbaros que son HAILblind guardian HAIL! these songs of hobbits dwarves and men

[ogrofrost]

esta cancion si es linda, que barbaros que son HAILblind guardian HAIL!

[iloveursis]

even beautiful songs have dislikes? damn, this is disappointing...

[Pauloopc]

fuck the haters

[NiYoUr]

This makes me wanna play tes4 oblivion.

[b00y4kk4]

47 negatives? fuck da haters!

[Floodwoman]

"I close my?"

[PiratessArranell]

One of my favorite songs of all time...Hail Bards of Blind Guardian!

[Smoit04]

If Blind Guardian and Rhapsody of Fire teamed up and made songs, God himself would come down here to listen.

[Taud]

@Smoit04 I bet he would buy extra tickets for his buddies Santa Claus and the Boogie man too.....

[55manoslis]

Seriously. What kind of people could have pressed the dislike button. That's not possible, so that's the proof hat aliens are between us.

[55manoslis]

Epic band and an epic song. There are no words to describe the feeling this song gives me every time i listen to it.

[Johnnynano]

why is it i cant find the following version of this song? Believe its the hobbits version. I love this vers, but i prefer the heavyness of The Hobbits version. both versions rock, as they should. BG for Eternity!

[kargusderfuchs]

oh doppelt so schnell

[aznkriss133]

the van canto cover is quite good hahaha

[GIwillo]

@GasSnake2003 lol, begging bitch!but i will give u one! :P

[breathingreflection]

@GasSnake2003 I thumbed you down because this comment, by mentioning his name, amounts to advertising for that person, and is itself a begging for thumbs up.

[theturbocow]

@GasSnake2003 Oh, the irony.

[MrColekins]

@GasSnake2003 Lolz, thats a contradiction! because you're begging for thumbs up! Also, I hate people who manage to get thumbs up for saying useless shet!

[kr0kant]

@GasSnake2003

Haha....you're begging for thumbs up too xD

[KLsketches]

@GasSnake2003 u atm asking for thumbs up..ironic

[mothmantis0708]

Even though I'm home alone, I want to hold up my lighter SO MUCH right now!

[eragon19711]

they used to say that a bard was the one who had seen every kind of magical creatures,blind guardian was also a mytical creature...how awesome is that right?

[TheSalem777]

47 posers, they dont know nothing

[zombiedog77]

What is it with people and scrounging for thumbs up? Does it really raise your self esteem that much that you need to encourage me to click the thumbs up button. Don't you know that every time someone hits the thumbs up button a starving child in China dies?

[TekyroTriforce]

@zombiedog77 Isn't China like really overpopulated anyway?

[jappieman12345]

if blind guardian would have a little more publicity, they would be known all over the world!! that's what I like about them, they don't care about being famous, they only care about the music!!

All hail the Bards. All hail their music.

[RockabillyAnt]

@jappieman12345 I expose ANYONE I can to Blind Guardian!

[Duskson]

@jappieman12345 Well.. actually they are known all over the world. Just stop living in a cave ;).

[jappieman12345]

@Duskson: maybe they're known all over the world, but they're are not as famous as other bands, you don't see them on TV, you don't hear them on the radio (or at least this is so in europe (except for germany))

[Duskson]

@jappieman12345 Well then simply listen to the right stations ;). Certainly they are not main stream like 10000000 other great bands.. but everyone who is at least a bit into metal knows them (no matter if he likes em or not). ;)

[Zardikar94]

@Duskson stop living in cave lolololololo ahahhaha ROFL

[ElgartheWise]

@jappieman12345 They are known all over the world. I feel they have all the publicity they deserve. They have done some awesome work, but it's not like they 're the greatest band ever or anything.

[metalgear523]

@jappieman12345 In the metal world they are very publicized. However, I thank God they have little publicity among non-metalheads. Then we'd have annoying fanboys and fangirls giving us a bad name.

[Krigarkaj]

@metalgear523 Word

[IXIBloodshedIXI]

47 people got ganked by a bard. Thumbs up if you agree!

[CordylusRhodesianus]

My dream is too sing this song live with the crowd on a Blind Guardian concert

[persiasand]

@CordylusRhodesianus Thats what I did in November :)

[CordylusRhodesianus]

@persiasand That's fucking awesome!

[bloodyrockfire]

leave the shining technological beauty by side and meld into this fascinating realm of the mother nature;amazing song

[STCgothic]

@bloodyrockfire This song has nothing to do with mother nature, A bard is was someone that played music in the middle ages for money. Obviously this bard sings about mid-eval fantasy tales just like blind guardian.l

[bloodyrockfire]

@STCgothic I understand,that was my interpretation at the moment;at least the feeling this song transcends you into

[bloodyrockfire]

@STCgothic I understand,that was my interpretation at the moment;at least the feeling this song transcends you into

[monkey815518]

ive always wondered this.... why do people care about thumbs up?

[Bitteboo]

enchanting epicness ftw zomg

[TheTyJak]

2 words= EPIC AWESOMENESS

[kamp86]

brb gonna take a walk in the woods

[xXflixkingXx]

einfach nur ....

....EPIC....

daumen hoch!!



[noirafaith16]

@TheDrummer1969 haters make people famous.Just enjoy the epic music,k?:)

[ck0019]

man every time i smoke i listen to this song its like a ritual =) BG Forever! VALHALLA will meet us in the end!

[LinkinPark1712]

This song is soooooo awesome thumbs up for this brilliant work

[cloudhugger123]

who is 'he' people it is so confusing please please explain it is driving me crazy

[SenshiofWolves]

@cloudhugger123 He who must not be named (apparently), is Justin Bieber.

[retrothefox]

"His" name will never pass my lips again. Instead, I shall listen to the likes of Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Skillet and Nightwish, because they are all utterly awesome :)

[TheCrazybastard1]

Well this is the ANTI-metal militia. It is a group of true metal fans who are confident enough in our own fucking taste of music that we don't feel necessary to "attack" other genres. We like metal to like metal, and not to bash other people

Also, everytime someone clicks on a justin beiber video, you give him more views and money, fuck that. watch a real metal video and support that

Copy and paste this to metal videos and thumbs up, lets keep metal in metal !

[TheKorozon]

Tommorow will take us away...

Far from home, no one will ever know our names...

But the Bards' songs will remain...

Tommorow all will be known,

...And you 're not alone,

So don't be afraid of the dark and cold...

'Cause the Bards' songs will remain... they all will remain...

[Tyrsglory]

this song makes me want to go back in time and listen to a old bard

[TheSealerthebandit]

Ok...who is this "he" you all speak of?

no...I'm not asking "his" name in case you guys want to hate me, but what did "he" do that make this world collapse?

[nidjog]

@TheSealerthebandit

even in the forest whe can hear the whining of "the cursed boy whith no balls" who is obviously gay but still has tons of jailbait bitches who want to cuddle him

him with the gay haircut (and not the one who shines, but that other gay fag)

[TheSealerthebandit]

@nidjog I see...

Thanks for your wisdom.

Is a great use to us all for we shall all send "him" curses to oblivion...

[SerSevar]

dreaming..

[weltenpilgerer]

i find the original better

[Warzenwurzel]

@weltenpilgerer das isses original du wurst :D

[weltenpilgerer]

@Warzenwurzel aber es gibt noch ne andere version, nich der hobbit, sondern ne andere art, ist auch auf der dvd imaginations through the looking glass drauf

[martha1985]

This is so magical, words can't describe how much I love this song.

It just brings back the memories lost long ago.

[FaramirCl]

Wonderful song.

[WiththeFaceinTheSand]

[fuckinglesbians85]

[powermetalfreak81]

[PS3ownsALL14EVER]

[TheAmeader]

@IanGainsborough Try, Born in a morning hall, mirror mirror, the hobbit,and Valhalla, as blind gaurdian firsts for you you wont be dissapointed

[greetz2metal]

[blickluke]

[SomeSchmuck1]

Hey, quit all the talk about some talentless brat. I just saw this band in NYC and they wanted the audience to sing this song for them. I didn't know the lyrics so I need to study up for next time!

Less crap, more lyrics!

[davidd866]

the only good whit 2012 if the world go under that are then bieber die

[Warzenwurzel]

gooooosh guys don´t mention beiber here! if you speak of music u don´t like, u´r not better than the annoiing beiber-fans.

\m/ O.O \m/ remember.... Valhall awaits us, not them!

[asarum98]

the "dislikes" is "his" fans..

.. They who thumbs up, lnow real music - METAL!

[penguinofhell]

We need "his" name to disappear from all metal videos.

Uploader, please delete all comments regarding him.

Commenters, only discuss the epicness of this band, and recommend some other awesome metal bands. M'kay?

Thumbs up so everyone can see. This applies to every metal video.

[Taud]

@penguinofhell I agree brothers, from here on, his name will never be spoken on this video, this will b a haven in which "he" is never referred to by name, and we can enjoy the bards song in the forest..... free from "his" tyranny perhaps one day the world will be free....

[ElgartheWise]

@penguinofhell Justin Bieber

[ozmasterflash]

@ElgartheWise AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHH *world implodes*

[powermetalfreak81]

@penguinofhell  im with you all the way my brother he must be bannish from all blindguardian songs on youtube

[fodmunkio]

@penguinofhell I agree, all this Justin Beiber nonscence is spam, and it appears seemingly in every video..
