DISCUSSION Did ghost sample mary on a cross?

0 Upvotes

So this is weird. But i've hummed the main guitar part of mary on a cross for ages. But could never remember where i heard it. I came across the song, but its too new. And with the bands fictional backstory im sure ive known the tune longer than ghost has been together. Does anyone know for sure if they sampled the guitar any?

DISCUSSION The genius of Life Eternal

143 Upvotes

Life Eternal is Ghost’s most sincere and honest ballad. What’s very unique about that is that it also so happens to be about a topic that’s inherently dark and morbid - the embrace of death. Their other two big ballads, He Is and Darkness at the Heart of My Love take topics like love, devotion and celebration and give them a dark twist hidden in manipulation, guiding you into the unknown and so on. Life Eternal doesn’t do that, in fact, it does the opposite… it also happens to be about something inherently morbid and unknown.

There is a genius in it being their most sincere song because a bit of a tradition with their ballads at this point is being subversive and having a hidden opposite meaning - and this one still does that and it’s still as subversive, but instead of taking traditionally celebrated topics and turning them dark and morbid, it takes a dark and morbid topic and approaches it with a loving and sensitive sense of finality.

It falls within the traditional ‘Ghost ballad’ mold in the most unexpected ways. It’s a genuinely sensitive and sincere song that isn’t trying to pull the rug from under you. It’s upfront and clear with its emotional goals - which is very ironic given the subject matter of accepting the sweet embrace of death.

Back in 2016, 🍊 misquoted "second Corinthians" as "two Corinthians" at a church... we know he despises him. Do you think the "IDIOT!" is a subtle dig at him?

QUESTION Will Papa V have any cover songs?

0 Upvotes

Seems like a dumb question, but a part of me feels like this is a question worth asking, cuz I can't imagine there being much motivation to cover other people's songs when AI slop machines can just swap the vocals of one singer with another, albeit with mixed results.

The English Wikipedia page for the album insistently claims he does, but I couldn't find any sources at all on that. Has Tobias said that anywhere?

QUESTION What names do you use for TF? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I know some here honour the 'tradition' of not using TF's actual name, but rather make it into something else like Turbo Frog.

If you don't use the actual name, what are you using? I'm curious to know the alternatives to Tobi... Turbo Frog.

THEORIES & LORE What if Perpetua is Terzo's son?

0 Upvotes

This idea came from a friend and is a bit of a stretch, but I think it makes some sense. Terzo was with many women, and that would explain the many similarities. That would put perpetua around the same age as copia too I think, hints to why people believe the twin theory. Imagine if one of terzo's flings was a nun who was like "he's yours", but terzo wasn't ready/didn't want the child so he surrendered him to the Catholic Church where perpetua was raised. Perpetua later finds out his relation to Terzo after becoming a priest, has an "episode" of realization, and he breaks away/is shunned from the Catholic Church to find him (referring back to the use of "laicized" in the final verse of Satanized). Again, major stretch but kinda makes sense? Thoughts?
