Blackmore's Night - Will O' The Wisp Lyrics






Walking by the castle ruins
Lit my just the crescent moon
This night was the fairest fair
That eyes did behold

There the forest round us stood
On the outskirts of the wood
Was a path to lead me
Where I longed to go

With every step my heart beat fast
As if a doorway to the past
And dreams that weren't meant to last
Had come alive

And in that dark, the dead of night
I thought I saw a flickering light
Dancing in and out of sight
Singing this song

It lead me to the ancient rocks
Magic within mystery
In them every secret locked
For eternity

Then the lights, they faded out
But the magic still remains
'Though overgrown is the path
I still see the flame

    I would love to do an animation for this song, but I can't. :P I can be inspired to make a song, ;P but I need to learn how to make music, or just attempt at making it. BLARG! Idk what to do. I also liked "Just call my name" as well. o-o
    Also, looks like not a whole lot of people commented for years. :/

  2. C.... B....

    How come I can’t stop listening to this(or this group)?! It’s different and I love it!! Candice, you sing absolutely beautiful!!!!!! Please *never* stop making music!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  13. D.... ....

    Excellent, varieties of melodies and good story, very nice

  14. P.... m....

    Great music

  15. E.... ....

    Ritchie Is SUCH A BAD ASS I love him!!..

  16. I.... V....

    I enjoy this music so very much. It is so new and refreshing, and yet, seems so hauntingly familiar. Really Wonderful !!!

  17. I.... V....

    На Грузинскую Лезгинку Очень Похоже - Там Тарам ТамТарам Там :: Там Тарам ТамТарам Там :))

  18. V.... d....

    Ritchie clears teeth all the time, probably he made the video just after the breakfast..... :)...Nice

  19. B.... H....

    Holy Mary, her voice keeps getting richer and better! How, how, how?!?!

    And when is BN going to bloody come to Georgia so I can see them live?!?!?!

  20. D.... I....

    Love this song! Blackmore's Night music & songs literally reaches the soul as they take one back in time to an era of mystery & magic! 💞

  21. D.... L....

    One of the best bands I know.

  22. b.... ....

    Antoher Blackmore's Night's piece which sounds exactly alike the others...

    b.... ....

    blekfut is correct, I stopped buying their albums after Secret Voyage.
    It all got too repetitive for me. They made some great music but now they just keep re-cycling it. This song sounds like Fires At Midnight and 2 of their other songs I can't recall the titles of. And as for wearing shades whilst playing medieval style music, come on Ritchie what are you doing?

  23. w.... w....

    Seriously? Black and white? That's not art, it's just cheap.

  24. N.... G....

    Ritchie found his soul in this kind of music,this style sets him free,this music crashes all the borders around!

  25. �.... �....

    The best song ever i hear!!! Thank you my darling!! Your voys like angel song!!!!!! Come back in Russian Federation we miss you so wutch!!!! In 2014 so great!
    Come back and home again)))

  26. b.... S....

    This is the music Ritchie wanted to play! Candice wasn't even looking to be in a band when he started to play this type of music, it quickly became apparent though how perfect she was to take on the role of front woman!

    b.... S....

    except that she said she was working at a radio station and her dream goal was to be a successful singer. They probably both saw dollar signs in eachother's eyes LOL.

  27. s.... ....

    Outlander on starz should have them do music

  28. G.... W....

    Wonderful!

  29. w.... L....

    bonne music, belle voix

  30. G.... B....

    Ritchie Blackmore es el más grande guitarrista y el músico más inspirador de la historia del Hard Rock y también ha podido hacer este Folk Renacentista o como se llame... BELLÍSIMA MÚSICA!!!

  31. m.... d....

    medicine

  32. E.... M....

    Perfeito ❤️

  33. S.... L....

    ritchie blackmore played his guitar like a robot.... his face is so plain and cold

    S.... L....

    Surya Lintang not necessarily a bad thing, if you think about it :)

    S.... L....

    he don´t like studios....live there is more emotion

    S.... L....

    He's not in a studio on this video, you clown!

  34. 5.... ....

    LOVE THIS!! PLEASE, PLEASE make more songs like this.  Full of energy and spiritual components. Would love a full album of this kind of music.  If anyone could pull this off, Blackmore's Night can.  Deep into the Soul...beyond this world.

  36. M.... R....

    All these comments bhahahaha,a lot of you people need to lighten up,but then again this is YouTube everyone seems to have something up their arse about something,this is the music that he likes to do,if he didn't he wouldn't be doing it,and I highly doubt his wife Candice is forcing him,get the f over it,if you don't like it don't watch or listen its simple,I for one like it and yes people do care if I like it and they do care if others do as well,why? Because were not assholes.

  37. R.... M....

    Beautiful tunes, instantly improving my mood...

  38. J.... G....

    beautiful is not the right word for this song: down right ADDICTIVE is better, i CANNOT STOP LISTENING!!!
    thank you, Blackmore's Night for your beautiful music, you will forever have a fan in me!!!

  39. V.... ....

    band relly need to work on their facial expressions... Candace is the only one in the mood

  40. A.... M....

    Would anyone be able to recommend music similar to this, with a celtic/renaissance vibe???

    A.... M....

    Hisperion XXI for medieval music..Loreena McKeenit for celtic music

    A.... M....

    Candace or Candice looks like she's channeling Loreena McKennit in every video I've ever seen of Blackmore's Night so far.

    Not that that's a bad thing.

    For those who think Ritchie's talent is wasted here, Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio was originally going down the road of Renaissance rock.

    Go back to Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rainbow Rising, and Long Live Rock'N'Roll and see if you don't agree.

    Ritchie's idea and RJD helped with the Renaissance lyric vibe.

    Ritchie's just fleshing that vibe out further here that he began all those years ago with Ronnie before Rainbow got commercial and got bigger hit songs.

    A.... M....

    Eluvietie, Faun, Within Temptation, Nightwish

    A.... M....

    Circle of Bards ( Poland ) , Nolwenn Leroy ( she has a fantastic album "Bretonne" ) , Clannad , Saor Patrol , The Dubliners ( The Dublin Legends ) , Paddy and the Rats , The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats , Loreena McKeenit

  41. a.... b....

    Richie is now 70 finds it hard to play hard rock music now also has arithrus in his hands this is the music he loves and do's it well

    a.... b....

    Aaaaaand we're back to rock. At this point I think Ritchie's just trolling us.

  42. y.... s....

    it′s beautiful…ヽ(´ー`)ノ

  43. R.... ....

    Garbage. Ritchie has fallen so far. Sad.

  44. S.... G....

    Ritchie... awful end...

  45. j.... p....

    🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🐣

  46. s.... ....

    I also wish Ritchie would reform Rainbow and resurrect Light in the Black and Stargazer!!

    s.... ....

    standel178 he did

  47. T.... ....

    Beautiful, dramatic!

  48. N.... G....

    Ritchie explores unexplored combination of sound,music and voice.I think he's not following only one direction in music.you can feel rock,folk and many other styles just in one track.Moreover he makes you dream while listening to music like this one

  49. s.... l....

    "...we gonna do Stone'enge tomorrow night?"

  50. A.... L....

    seems this vid is all about her and they are hoping to make money off his name
    sucks imho

    A.... L....

    +AFei Lee That's his wife, they've been together for a very long time. Ritchie has stated before that some of his roots and inspirations come from Renaissance and medieval music. He was the one who got Candice (His wife, the girl singing) into it. He introduced her to this type of music and they started making this type of music together a very long time ago. Get your facts straight.

  51. A.... L....

    the girl ruins it..

    Wow, Luna. way to go girl, isn't Candice the second wife, or am i mistaken. but yeah, i remember them from almost years ago, i listened to them in High School, that was '02-'06

  52. t.... ....

    Is anyone else thinking of The Buried Moon?

  53. t.... ....

  54. c.... ....

    Great track, I personally have a lot of respect for Ritchie exploring different genres of music, even if Blackmore's Night has been going on for a while now. A lot of the other greats of rock have stagnated because they never progressed and explored new ideas as musicians, which is a damn shame.

  55. 1.... ....

    Ritchie is so ashamed of this piece of Crap that he didn't promote the record. He is being sued by record company for advance. Stop chasing the Fairies, Trolls and Bed Wenches Blackmore! http://ultimateclassicrock.com/ritchie-blackmore-sued-by-label/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=newsletter_4572276

    I suggest that you leave RB to mind his own business.

  56. l.... ....

    Love it ♡

  57. �.... �....

    Great song!!! I wish you continued success... thanks for what you have.... all super!!!

  58. �.... �....

    This medivial music is amazing

  59. A.... K....

    Blackmore's night sounds as usual. Please, Richie go on with Rainbow!

    A.... K....

    Anja Konersmann he did

  60. B.... d....

    beautiful awazing song

  61. M.... R....

    WELCOME RAIMBOW!!!!

  62. M.... W....

    Who makes these videos? Can´t tell if its humor or not?

  63. E.... E....

    AS WONDERFUL AS BEAUTIFUL... OH !

  64. T.... A....

    I wish Blackmore was still on Deep Purple

  65. D.... M....

    Typical Ritchie, looking all disinterested

    D.... M....

    yeah LOL

    D.... M....

    Nah, he’s just cool.

  66. L.... D....

    Great song....but what a horrible video production!! I hope they got it for free....

  67. J.... L....

    Not typically my cup of tea but this song is awesome!!!!

  68. E.... G....

    I only watch this sh!t cause Candice is hot.

    E.... G....

    ...and, out of your league of course ...

  69. �.... �....

    Слабый клип

  70. K.... ....

    This voice....nobody can fight with (i mean many of volk and symphonic singers etc) Only to stand on the podium one

  71. r.... G....

    Nice. LIke it.

  72. L.... V....

    Those medieval sunglasses... Why did they spend money making this crap of a video. Could've been just a lyric video with still images or something.

  73. m.... ....

    blackmore is my idol, but he looks comical with sunglass

  74. R.... ....

    Blackmore looks bored as hell, LOL

  75. F.... ....

    Nice, now get back with Rainbow and Rock out, Richie!

    F.... ....

    Frankopinion he did

  76. S.... B....

    Why didn't they name it Anachronic shades?

  77. J.... ....

    Hey Ritch, cool shit. Now grab a fucking strat and save the world!

  78. R.... ....

    she has such a captivating voice.

  79. G.... H....

    Lute and shades.....typical medieval combination

  80. R.... R....

    Does she change his diaper for him? He's SEVENTY she's 44. Come on. His penis doesn't work, she's hot. She needs the D. Do the math.

    R.... R....

    You're projecting, Rob. See a urologist, he might be able to help.

    I'll bet Richie has no problems in that department. He looks like he takes good care of himself, and, as Groucho said, "You're only as old as the woman you feel."

  81. S.... ....

    Was waiting for blackmore to whip out a strat and rip a solo.

  82. L.... E....

    too perfect

  83. A.... D....

    excellemt music, awful video

    A.... D....

    +Abrahán De Labastida green screening the band into stock footage and "animated" photographs in AfterEffects doesn't really cut it for me either.

    A.... D....

    they have been to real castles and played shows at them. Maybe couldn't find suitable footage for a montage or something interesting.

    A.... D....

    agree. black and white is lifeless. Color brings life an would sure enhance the music. Music as medicine is compromised here.

  84. P.... ....

    blackmore must be high as fuuuuuck

  85. G.... M....

    Musical magic !!!!

  86. j.... ....

    This is good music! Rock on Earl!

  87. T.... S....

    very cool...
    But it is so weird and funny to see Blackmore dressed as a middle age man wearing sunglasses!

    T.... S....

    +Tomas SB Really? He's 70.

    T.... S....

    +RobNKriista Rowles I think he meant a man from the middle ages, not a middle aged man.

    T.... S....

    +ShaggyDawg exactly!

    T.... S....

    +ShaggyDawg He has passed Middle Aged Man into the "Ole' Man not a Rockin'".

    T.... S....

    @1stSaintsFan
    True, middle age ends at 60!

  88. �.... �....

    Напоминает ВИА Песняры , молодец В Мулявин , гений.

  89. s.... ....

    Once more, Lord Ritchie and Lady Candice continue to enchant my ears with their melodies.

    Splendid work, once again; I look forward to claiming the album for my own, soon

  90. D.... S....

    leads me to a dark side of our history!!!!!!!!!!!

  91. T.... M....

    Good song and good video.. I just wanna tell 2 things to the producers: 1. Why the sunglasses?? It makes lose ambiance to the video... 2. The guitar string... Looks horrible hahaha... Whatever I just wanna listen the complete disc... I know most be so great :)

  92. E.... D....

    Beautiful song..

  93. s.... t....

    Who thought that one of the best and famous guitar players in the world would end up in such low budget music videos it's like Pacino acting in B movies...............

  94. m.... ....

    The quality of the video is at odds with the quality of the music. I think that Ritchie needs a new Production Manager.

  95. a.... ....

    What a waste of talent and energy. Some other musician can make this beautiful song and rhythm but we expect unique rock and riff from that goddamn guitar .WAKE UP MAN!

  96. J.... M....

    Wonderful. One of my Favourites. This Album has more Celtic Folky influences than previous Albums and has Less Rocky moments!

  97. j.... ....

    I was half expecting some hobbits to come out and dance around a miniature Stonehenge monument ala Spinal Tap.... Not a fan of this crap. The girl is hot though.

  98. s.... ....

    Good song albeit with a cheesy video that looks like it was made in 1982. And Ritchie Blackmore has all the charisma of a pile of wet leaves. Having seen him live, he's pretty much always that way from what I can tell. But the dude can play guitar.

    s.... ....

    +sunsin1592 No Charisma? Ritchie is without doubt the Most charismatic man to play guitar ever! When he's on stage Everybody's attention is on him! He doesn't need to jump round to have everybody captivated. Off stage he is a uniquely Intelligent funny man with many interesting stories and a gentle mild mannered persona! Don't believe all the nonsense written about him!

    s.... ....

    +JON MILLER Agreed

    s.... ....

    Nope I've heard from people that have met him in person, including my dad he is NOT social, gentle or interesting. He told this one guy he would only give him a blackmore t-shirt if he took off his deep purple shirt and burned it. He refused and was not allowed a shirt, for real lol.
