Blind Guardian - The Bards' Song [With lyrics...]

[BlackT0othGrin]

i feel like im playing Skyrim

[GothicPower666]

@BlackT0othGrin I hear that :D ..seen these guys live in Melbourne there good

[Deetroiter]

If I recall right, a very close version of "modern english" was spoken in northern germany, some ages ago. i nor anyone else alive today was there, so all we can do is speculate and take a best guess.

This song is definitely bad ass. I wish I could play it on acoustic, I'd play it everywhere I go.

[darkwattie227]

to take us away from home......just as sam and mr.frodo, mary and pippen. not warriors.....just simple shire folk..........driven to a land that they should have never seen.....but they went just as well....becuse its true what they say.....though small in a way the hobbits are the strongest of all the races....

[cjhatesu]

This makes me think of Fat Neil.

[BoodaOfDoom]

epic, i can not stop listening to this song

[SMWhit3out]

Goose bumps every time.

[TheCrower666]

Who need the lyrics?

[MrsLegolas1]

@TheCrower666 people who dont speak english?

I just understand the song witth der lyrics Oo

[TheCrower666]

@MrsLegolas1 okay. you dont can sing the song without lyrics? Oo

[MrsLegolas1]

@TheCrower666 i can sing it without lyrics, but the first time i heard it i could´n understand the Text.

Soryy for my bad english :D

[TheCrower666]

@MrsLegolas1 Thats right. Yeah, my english is bad too. I hate this subjekt

[MrsLegolas1]

@TheCrower666 I dont hate is... i just dont understand it xD

[TheCrower666]

@MrsLegolas1 My point! But why we talk in english, instead of german? ;)

[darkwattie227]

@MrsLegolas1 the english language sucks dont it?.......it was easy for me becuse i was born in america but when i started learning other languages such as gaylic i reolized that the english language was one of the most pointless languages in the world.....its god awful......

[Blashyrkh1993]

@darkwattie227 Gaelic, that convinces me you can't speak shit.

[darkwattie227]

@Blashyrkh1993 look dude i dont care......i just dont fucking care.......speaking it and spelling it are two completly different things.....i call it irish in english so what ever......i know this is youtube and people correct other peoples spelling and after that its followed by a bag mouth comment becuse they think they are smarter or superior to others.......you reminde me of high elves......but you know what, im not here to judge.....im done anyway

[Blashyrkh1993]

@darkwattie227 Irish and gaelic are different languages, irish is just one modern interpretation of gaelic, as are welsh and scottish.

[darkwattie227]

@Blashyrkh1993 good smarts my high elven friend........you know more than me about its history

[Blashyrkh1993]

@darkwattie227 I would being british, all I'm saying is that I think you are being pretentious in this "I'm more Pagan/ anti modernisation" game some metalheads play, and you are probably chatting shit. But thats my opinion, if you are learning good for you, however nowaday Gaelic is one of the most pointless languages in the world. It sounds beautiful, but sadly nobody speaks it. In that respect english is much more practical.

[darkwattie227]

@Blashyrkh1993 then i think we got off on the wrong foot my friend......i can see where your going with this......gaelic may be pointless but im trying to get in touch with my irish roots........and when i get finished with college im going to move to ireland a see the place where my grandfather was born......i do it becuse of my irish heratige and it took me a long time to learn it

[darkwattie227]

@Blashyrkh1993 and it is beutiful isint it heh heh.......the closest language to elvish we have on this earth now a days.........

[Chladi666]

18 mal *Daumen nach unten* !!! WTF???

[MrsLegolas1]

best song ever o.O <3

[fornication4me]

Dunno why but every time i listen this song i remember Neverwinter Nights and Ultima online :)

[ArcaneMage54k]

I listen to this while playing Oblivion...

[PippoYoung96]

@ArcaneMage54k Me too!!!!! :D Incridible I found another person that do this :D

[ArcaneMage54k]

@PippoYoung96 Same here.I think that this is just the absolute RPG song.

[YorkGod1]

fucking love songs like this! I need to find more so if anyone knows of any like this song please tell me cheers!

[PaSvarteTroner]

there's only one song left in my mind, das triffts zur zeit komplett, pure magic

[weed451]

i never was interested in metal ...and i saw this song in wacken this year (on television) ...and fell deeply in love with it ... f*cking great song!!!

[Azra3lth3ang3l0fd3ad]

An all die Schweine, die die letzten Tage in Wacken waren: Fickt euch!!!

Ihr habt es sooo verdammt gut Karten bekommen zu haben und vor allem alt genug zu sein! ;-(

Aber eins steht fest: Wenn ich erst 18 bin dann wird Wacken auf alle Fälle PFLICHTPROGRAMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[metaler551]

@Azra3lth3ang3l0fd3ad

ich bin 16... :D und ich war da und das mit pflichtprogramm ist gut mach das weil es ist einfach nur fantastisch

[bluudfall]

@Azra3lth3ang3l0fd3ad ich weiß wie das ist, hatte im märz das geld zusammen, geh ich auf die seite und da stand "sold out" -,-

[metaler551]

WACKEN yeeees it was such a-m-a-z-i-n-g

[michaeln87]

@metaler551 couldn't agree more with you

[Wraaaul]

@metaler551

:'(

[Deathborn2048]

So, musste mich nochmal vergewissern dass ich den Text noch drauf habe, morgen wirds gesungen auf Wacken, hehe^^

[n0ob0nst1lts]

GUYS THIS VERSION IS SHIT! There are MUCH better versions of this song!

[jimmybobs87]

@n0ob0nst1lts this is the original nob

blind guardian are amazing

[TheKokoBWare]

kann man für lieder eigentlich auch ne dauerschleife einstellen?

[Azra3lth3ang3l0fd3ad]

@TheKokoBWare mach doch ne playlist mit diesem einzigen Lied ;-)

hab ich auch gemacht :D

[crunch8D]

@Emrecakici what version is that?

[edb3211]

fucking epic

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Skalds and Shadows would fit perfectly right at the end.

[xKurokawax]

BG songs MUST be used for The Hobbit :D

[MrLor647]

I want this played for my funeral

[toliskokito10]

thumbs up for the epic "left" on 1.41 :)

[Samaeltehdestroyer]

@toliskokito10 why? did you say it?

[MeanMiniMice]

The song is good, not as epic as Curse my name, though. There's only one part I dislike: around 0:45, ''Let's sing the bards song'', sounds quite ridiculous and unnecessary extra to the song. Other than that part of couple of seconds, it's great!

[hubbapop1]

they are from germany

[tangerineGamer]

13 people can't see elves, hobbits and dwarves when they close their eyes

[Socraths85]

Thumbs up if you cried.. Just a little..

[Hyroism]

Blind Guardian songs should be used everywhere!

[Dindosaur]

Blind guardian song should be used in the next LOtR : The Hobbit

[mhevak]

@Dindosaur+1

[Alayni01]

all hail the modern day bards!

[ROTZGOERE11]

I like their lyric way to sing very much...sweaping away into a fairy tale...

[Sockenterry]

This song is abouts wild rough sex.

[Gogohax]

Extra epic live :)

[TheMourningBlade]

We cover this with flute instead of lead(2.) guitar. I think it sounds pretty nice..

Fantastic song by the way.

Regards from Turkey...

[Takinub]

Eternal Eargasm

[babycaf]

i thing the song to talk about exiles and they sougth to freedom

[babycaf]

i thing the song to talk about exiles and they sougth to frreadom

[FeDini]

lyrics don't mach perfectly with the song... they'r a little too late. and this is frustrating! D:

[chocolatehaemonculus]

This song plays in my brainbox when I walk around my college.

[Longbarrel24]

@chocolatehaemonculus Mine too dood. People tend to look at me funny though. What's in my head doesn't stay there. So I start singing it and apparently that's a no-no in today's society.

[chocolatehaemonculus]

@Longbarrel24 You're not alone my frendio!

[PisYCaca1]

Best Blind Guardian song EVAR, Power to the Power! :headbang:

[kiodmais]

Half of the views of this video are mine haha!!

[Abedeuss]

Studio version beats this every day.

[IAMEVILANDFIRE]

AMAZING¡¡¡

[hgaizka]

I think that every songs of blind guardian are better in studio version because in studio they score this epic sound

[stalker13331]

the studio version is better

[CZG3jls]

i have the T-shirt- 1:37

[CZG3jls]

i have the T-shirt- 1:37

[roadrunner030406]

Einfach nur unübertrefflich !

[LnrdRckstn]

Wow, look at some Frank Frazzeta paintings while listening to any of their songs. It fits.

[LnrdRckstn]

Are those Frazzeta paintings? They sure have the same kind of texture and color schemes as well as medieval fantasy theme.

[SpaceDan3000]

I always thought it was "now you honour the bards and their songs". Is it okay if I still sing it my way?

[Killteam290]

HIS GERMAN ACCENT SHINES THROUGH  A LOT MOR IN THIS SONG THAN OTHERS

[wilhelmspw]

@Killteam290 and this is what i like most.

[PS3ownsALL14EVER]

@Killteam290 and its good so

an german accent is very cool

if i speak english is have it to and im proud on it (or how 2 say it)

[Wereboy]

i would sell my soul to sing like him or do anything possible to do so... to bad im a baritone damn genetics!

[metalrules211]

why bg are not famous??i mean their songs are great and the singer is badass!!1

[iAsahi]

song : great

sound quality : nice :)

volume level: good :)

subtitles synchro : little too slow

_

good work uploader ^ ^ ( and they didnt deleted it for 3 years so far :) ^ ^

[YorkGod]

This is amazing and so enjoyable to sing!

[MrMrMetalfan]

Usually I don't really listen to Blind Guardian... but when I do it's just fantastic = )

[bennett6000]

i love this version but the version made by Van Canto kind of made this song better in its own way but still i love both version almost equaly

[1150LaLeggenda]

I - fucking- love -this -song

[6Death6Whisperer6]

wer braucht schon "In Dreams" wenn amn den hier hat :)

[FrozzenNinja]

Crying...just ...crying =.)

[pascalder333]

Best song ever from Blind Guardian

I love it

[MrLennyMe]

I remember seeing a video made over this song where two guys were fighting(With swords), some kind of anime! 0: Any ideas? - can't find it now. :(

[Shenanigasm]

@MrLennyMe gay

[janderheidi]

blind guardian the best band ever

[greeksamis]

this song must be used as a soundtrack for the movie "The hobbit"..it is so epic..!!

[AxtractA]

Great Song, Hansi sings very well.

[MrAugustus88]

a psychedelic folk song, bravo it has nothing to do with disco-rap and metal crap so premminent in our days.

[belthizor]

They should make a movie about a bard and use some of BG's songs as the soundtrack

[ManiacFromGreece]

They are the only band that live are btr than CDs.That is because all ppl at their live sing together

[GMNimloth]

@ManiacFromGreece not the only band, have to add iron maiden in that list too. :)

[johnthegreek178]

@ManiacFromGreece Και οι Iron Maiden και οι Metallica κάποτε (το κάποτε πάει μόνο στους Metallica), αν και για εμένα είναι ακόμα καλοί.

[Pups19191919]

I love this songs

[LeMonDee2]

Thé Gréat Music .!!!!

[nodeterin]

This song always takes me back to the only place, which was my home, to my 'nodetian' home, where we made one song a year, one song to be sung by us all, one song to tell one of our stories, the stories that we were. We used to say that if we get seperated one day or if our everything was taken, our song's will always remain and we'll be immortally living on in them...

Now we are separated, all over the world and our home is taken away

but our songs will remain!

[mrbh71]

hi .. i like yours comment and !!!! i will try to make it blues or soft rock song ..and i will leave all the words same as lyrics song >>is that ok ?? thanks

[nodeterin]

Oh, thanks, it is just a past I did really live...^^

Which song do you wanna make blues or soft rock???

[mrbh71]

i think it will be mix blues rock song ..i just start when i will finish i will let u know ok ..bye

[nodeterin]

Ok, now I'm excited to see, where this is going! ^^

[ironwolg]

that's a very cool idea

[s1lphatos]

BG songs should have been used in LOtR.

[maggotfrom1993]

they should have made something but for some reasons it has been cancelled

[Hverglemer]

@s1lphatos

definetly!!!

[PaladinMika]

@s1lphatos best comment posted on youtube

[s1lphatos]

@PaladinMika lol thx :p

[bigGus355]

@s1lphatos There is still time we petition them for "The Hobbit" (the movie) =)

[JumperGR]

@s1lphatos you do realise that these songs were created because of LOtR!

[s1lphatos]

@JumperGR of course :)

[iskclifton]

@JumperGR No they were made Because of Sel Marllien a book that takes place before the hobbit

[wheresanykey]

@s1lphatos They nearly had been, but BG didn't want to write songs for the film (for what reason ever) ;)

[sarris777]

@s1lphatos maybe they wiill be in hobbit the movie, if and when they make it :P

[champFichtnerBourne]

@s1lphatos Actually they were going to be, but because also they wanted to record another album they couldn't

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

This song takes me to the same place as The Battle of Evermore by Zeppelin. So amazing.

[BardSong89]

Bards of the world unite!

[MoonIMover]

@BardSong89 I'm not sure what that means, but I agree anyway!

[betterthansex123]

it means bards of the world unite... what is ambiguous about that?

[99lolpurenoob99]

nice vid 5/5 i love this song

[Klindza]

So much better than the other version...

[nodeterin]

Yesssssssssss!

[DatYpsi]

nice work :)

[tersans]

great song!

[MoonIMover]

This is a lovely song.

The only reason I rate it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the rather abrupt ending.

[afareni]

This will be my children's lullaby someday.

[Alphabetanomitron]

I SO agree! When I have kids I'll sing it to them!

[afareni]

:/ Git yer own metal lullaby

[Alphabetanomitron]

pfft! Not like you own it!

[Alphabetanomitron]

Who are you calling dumb bitch? You better watch your mouth you rude little shit.

[afareni]

-YAWN-

La la la.

[marchak]

um considering that if you showed this song to anyone where im from they will call you a retard for calling it a metal lullaby, sadly blind guardian is simply not famous enough in north america to be noted even on the radio for concerts, but i bet one song will make it to radio one day and their fame will explode here :P and this song should be free to anyone as whence you learn a tale its meant to be shared is it not ? :P

[afareni]

That made no sense.

[marchak]

its meant to be shared to anyone by anyone: P

[afareni]

ok?

[Toodles43]

Apart from Mirror Mirror, and Then There was Silence, this has to be my favorite song from Blind Guardian.

[Metallian]

This used to be my favourite song... One of the first favourite songs too as Blind Guardian was one of the very first bands I started to listen to! Feels now like it was ages ago...

[GUIterebs]

Epic song

[Deetroiter]

I find powermetal, especially Blind Guardian, interesting. Interesting in the fact they can be so nerdy into dungeons and dragons type of shit, yet they rock 10x harder then most other "rock bands" out there. Bands that are so called "rock" like Staind, Nickleback, etc...can't hold a candle to how hard these guys jam out.

[kaufmabr]

i think part of it is the fact that they are so into it....they put all they can into making the songs...and you can tell that they have passion for what they do

[DeathReaver10]

this was so awesome at Bloodstock

[konlad1990]

If only more of their songs were like this one.But the other songs are OK too.

[cheata2]

the bards song the hobbit is the metal bard's song :D their diffrent but really good

[RogueTerenasEU]

Quite a shame an actual bard's song doesn't sound as good as this lol.

Still epic though.

[joshua61991]

these guys are probably hardcore geeks but their music is really interesting to listen to.

[Ninjistic]

Who gives a fuck if they´re geeks, its not a negative thing.

[Masteroftuba3]

why does it matter? that's like people not listening to lil wayne because he isn't smart. Intelligence shouldnt interfere with music

[DarkTerror212]

I think it should. Because the most people, which aren´t smart, are talking about sex and how hot a girl can be.

[UltravioletShanghai]

In fact, they usually make amazing metal, but this song is indeed great, too. They also have a bard song, which sounds quite different already. This is only "the song about the bard's songs"... Really great..

[maskeiron]

goosebumps from beginning to end...

[Djinnlover]

love this song ^-^ I even sing it in the shower XD

[vampiros843]

masterpiece

[AFRODITI4EVEREVER]

one of the best songs i have ever heard...!!!!<3<3blind guardian are great....!!!

[HelofOZ]

stunning song I just can't seem to stop playing it.Hel.xxx

[Augenatic]

I love this song to death.

[kyara93]

das lied ist voll cool=), ich mag son mittelalterlichen Rock :-*^^

[BIUUftr]

blind gaurdian is the perfection of humanity, this song only proves that

[Cta278e]

Lord of the rings rule

[greekHopliteYo]

Blind Guardian Kai 3ero pswmi...ton ioulio oloi ekei

[Eksilewsh]

[xtistis88]
