- Hopelessly Slipping Away (feat. Tom Baker, Cammie Gilbert & Tommy Karevik) from the Ayreon album Transitus.
Order: lnk.to/Ayreon
This album is incredibly diverse so I really couldn’t choose just one track because I wouldn’t want people to get the wrong impression of the overall mood of the album. So we decided to make a video for both an atmospheric track ‘Hopelessly Slipping Away’ and a rocky track ‘Get out! Now!’
‘Hopelessly Slipping Away’ features Tommy Karevik (Kamelot) and Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber) on vocals. It’s a haunting track with analog synthesizers and violin, and it slowly builds to an epic climax with marching snares. In this video we see the ghost of Daniel (Tommy) hopelessly trying to reach out to his beloved wife Abby (Cammie) who clearly feels his presence but can’t see or hear him.
LYRICS:
[The Storyteller:]
Abby returns home, wracked by guilt and shame. Daniel's last cries of
"Why? Why?" echo endlessly in her mind. She is broken. Hopeless.
Inconsolable. It seems to her that there is only one way out. But then… a strange sensation comes over her...
[Abby:]
Am I imagining you're near?
I feel you all around me
Can you let me know you're here
Please set me… free
[Daniel:]
How innocent you are
If only I could let you know
So near and yet so far
So warm and yet so… cold
[Abby and Daniel:]
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away
[Abby:]
My time on Earth is through
I've nothing left worth living for
I yearn to be with you
I ask for nothing… more
[Daniel:]
I came back to let you know
I'm sorry I ever doubted you
But you must try to let me go
And start your life anew
[Abby and Daniel:]
I feel you slipping away
Hopelessly slipping away
I feel I'm slipping…
Hopelessly slipping away

Tommy and Cammie could sing the phone book as a duet and I would be enchanted. A dream duo in a cast of stars.
What's this strange sensation? I'm a croissant... and this song is buttering me
XD
You must be on cannabis to be this accurate
This comment section is now complete. Go home folks.
😂😂😂
Last time I was this early, everybody died!
They got better!
Smart
LOLLLLLLL
The catchiest, darkest song I've ever heard
"everybody is dead Dave"
I don’t understand how Oceans of Slumber haven’t gotten more recognition after this.
I’m so proud of them, yet they seem to be overlooked
I'm so happy Cammie is really making her mark on the scene right now. I saw oceans of slumber opening for epica and I was absolutely blown away by her!
Recently discovered Oceans of Slumber, I agree she is amazing. Her and Tommy, goosebumps.😁
My first encounter with her... all I can say is, wow!
Totally agreed, Ellie, my aim exactly!
shes about to get a new band
@@nahadoth2087 because almighty god sent me to set her free, im kinda like moses , but different, im matthew john gotti, shes prayed for help , so now she has it, satan knows theres nothing he can do about it bc hes in his final days before eternaly being in jail, satan. (reek) has 6 years left and aowes the almighty god, im just a soldier following orders.
Scifi themed prog metal with Tom Baker narrating and Tommy Karevik on vocals? UM...YES PLEASE
Cammie and Tommy’s vocals work amazingly well together. Great combination!
OMG! Tom Baker's voice it's amazing! When their voices get mixed, literally chills and loved it! Want to hear them all!
I still can't get over that you got Tom Baker to do narration. His acting is so gooooooood.
TOM BAKER ladies and gentlemen. What an addition. His voice gives me chills. Of course, Cammie and Tommy are great, but Mr. Baker is still the WOW factor of this album. Can't wait to hear the rest!
Oh yes, Zel, what a voice and delivery! And a true gentleman. Recording him was an amazing experience.
Tommy's voice is such a gift to the world. =O I'm also blown away by Cammie's voice I'm off to find everything I can about her. Beautiful song, Arjen.
Try Oceans of slumbers with this songs : Winter, The Banished Heart, Turpentine, Suffer the Last Bridge, Nights in white Satin, A return to the Earth below
Thanks Helena, glad you enjoy Tommy and Cammie! And yes, Nana has some great recommendations here to hear Cammie's voice.
So glad to hear Cammie's voice in this way. She is gifted, she sings with calm and with intelligence. Tommy..... a fabulous effort as well . Like wine together. Arjen the hipster has done it again. As the bible says to let go and let God, Music says let go and let Ayreon....
Thanks Darold, not worthy here!
Absolutely agree! What a song!
Cammie and Tommy sound so good together and Tom Baker is just priceless.
This is even better and more chilling heard in the context of the album
Absolutely! First time i heard this on youtube i found it "ok", after listening to the album it chill the bone!
I read the comic book that came with the album and the songs made so much more sense. This is definitely my favorite song on the album but, like every concept album, it needs to be heard in the context of the album as a whole for its impact to be completely felt.
You'd recognize this as Ayreon right away even if you didn't know and just heard the song. Awesome. Thank you Arjen.
This is as Ayreon as it gets! Just freaknig amazing!
Not aware of that myself, but I definitely see that as a big compliment, thanks!
Man, Cammie's vox giving me PURE shivers, this sing us so ethereal and beautiful. I can't wait for the full album 💚
Absolutely the same, especially in the first verse I'm having goosebumps all over the place and then that low note on "near"... just wow! I can't remember having such an emotional reaction to a song on the first listen in a long time, my eyes actually got a little watery...
@@gordon5064 Same. Her voice makes me so emotional.
Tom Baker was a great addition, his voice is so captivating
Helena
Totally agreed, Smol, a childhood dream come true to work with my hero!
Oceans of Slumber's album 'Winter' is one of my favourites ever. Cammie just wonderful.
a gem
Ayreon is the one of the few I'm placing a pre order on, because I simply trust that it'll be an amazing flight, time beyond time!
Thanks for the confidence, Tante, I'm honored!
Same.
I am such a huge collector of physical media; however, to keep from totally running out of space I chose a few years ago to go all digital for music except for truly special releases. Ayreon albums are one of those "special" releases I always get physical, and go all out on as well. I pre-ordered the $100 version of this that has the 4 disc earbook album (signed by Arjen), a shirt, a comic book, and I THINK something else I am forgetting about?
This was lovely. Cammie and Tommy's voices compliment each other so well and this ballad is so very beautiful. I think it's one I'm going to listen to on loop hahaha!
Cammie Gilbert, my ears thank's endlessly.
Ok, even though I was expecting this song to be like Get Out! Now!, it is a good one too.....I didn't know Cammie Gilbert and wow!, she's really an incredible artist!.
The Master is BACK!
Her voice is amazing.
Tommy sounds so much better with Ayreon, then with Kamelot; he is the wauw factor of the last Ayreon albums. One of the best vocalists who ever lived
Just listen to Seventh Wonder, and be amazed!
"The Great Escape" is, on top of being a 20+ minute masterpiece on par with A Change of Seasons & The Odyssey, a monster of a vocal performance from Tommy.
@@bcbitchkkv Their previous album was even better tho.
lol yeap Arjen always makes vocals shine in tge best way
Tommy best performance:
Seventh Wonder > Ayreon > Kamelot
@@Cotramjoxxx yep seventh wonder: letting loose side + lots of funk and groove. Ayreon: letting loose. Camelot: restrained by the formulaic music. Even though he's my favourite vocalist and I used to really like kamelot I haven't got into kamelot with Tommy (but I think it's the kamelot instrumental)
This is the Ayreon I've been waiting for since the The Human Equation. Sublime.
My favorite song of the album, Cammies voice is so angelic . And Tommie is doing Tommie stuff :)
Favorite song on the album, Tommy and Cammie's voices together are magic!
This dude is the only one left who produces good music in 2020.
Wow.. that is a big compliment indeed, Lithium! Ouch... suddenly feeling the pressure now :-)
I cried my eyes out listening to this (as I always do when I listen to something new from Ayreon for the first time) Mmmmm so stunningly beautiful! xxxxxxx
My god, I’m already hooked and in the zone!!! Amazing song and first time I hear Cammie...... wonderful!!!! ❤️🤘❤️
Cool, Erwin! Sure it won't be the last time you hear Cammie!
Mais uma vez voltar e ouvindo essa obra prima ❤
OMG her voice
Hail from Brazil
I love how Arjen builds things up musically, whether in part of a song (e.g. the bridge of 24 Hours) or as a whole song, like this one, Day 9: Playground, and The Dream Dissolves. Also, I love Cammie and Tommy's harmonized parts here!
I love this song!
Man, I like those analog synthesizers!...👌👌👌
Cool, Jaap! This is mostly the Roland Super Jupiter MKS 80. Powerful synth!
I refrained from listening to any pre-release tracks such as this one. Now I've listened to the whole album about 10 times since Tuesday and this song is really starting to feel special.
I admire your discipline
Mr. Lucassen has done it again. My copy already pre-ordered. He has an ever flowing force of music in his veins. He is a musical master mind. I will always look up to him.
Wow... I'm not worthy, Örjan! Nevertheless I will read your comment again. And again :-)
That's great and Cammie's voice is so amazing!
That woman voice! God!
Beyond beautiful.
I lost count of how many times I replayed this song's audio before the video premiere and yet I come here just to be driven to tears ;~;
Wow... cool Issela! Great video, huh?
This song is mcheckin gorgeous I'm completely in love
Okay, let me guess - the next thing our hero knows, he's on a strange, ruined planet and an ominous voice goes: "Welcome... You have entered the cranial vistas of psychogenesis..." And then they'll go on an amazing flight in space. We know the drill! ;-)
Sounding excellent, Arjen and the folks never disappoint! Very interested to see how the story will unravel, we're in for a treat! Thank you Arjen, and everyone involved! Hugs!
Brandon Barnwell I think the Knight would make the most sense... Wait... It would make a lot of sense, hahaha! :"D But yes, he's also the prodigy and the opposition leader, obviously! ;-)
No it's the listener that goes on an amazing flight
Haha, I'm sure you will find a way to connect the sagas, Aino!
im so happy
A strange sensation came over me while listening to this song...
Chills through my spine
Very beautiful song
Kippenvel, wauw, love it ❤️
Cammie Gilbert voice it's so beautiful. Love her since Oceans of Slumber. I can't wait to hear more. Tommy is amazing too again. Arjen you are a genius 💛
Thanks Bree! Yeah, I'm so proud of Cammie and Tommy :-)
Beautiful. I have chills. Cammie's voice is so resonant, and she and Tommy are perfect vocal matches.
Beautiful!!! Amazing!!!
Arjen, thank you so much! You leave us desperate for more.
Cammie and Tommy sound great together. Hope the album will have enough room for Cammie's wonderfully versatile voice. She is otherworldly.
Man what a gorgeous visuals, enhance the beauty and emotions of the song.
Agreed, Véronica, I'm so happy with this video! They couldn't have done a better job.
Gorgeous.
Just stunningly beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful.
Wonderful!
Well done!!!👏👏👏
Beautiful song!!
I can’t wait to hear this album
omg yes im so excited!!!
Wow as always we are pleased to hear and see Ayreon music
Love it
Hey Lucassen, if you're reading this, you've perhaps created the best intersectional prog-adjacent rock opera acts of all time. Ayreon, as a project, is musical, technical, lyrical, and spiritual genius. Thanks for blessing the world of music with your work.
I’m so pumped!!!
Fantastic Arjen. Love it!
Hello from Greece,,, well down...!!!!
just beautiful
Ooh my heart. I can't wait to see it ✨
Absolutely beautiful song
Those premiers made my day. Thank you so much!
Oh my, this music, these voices and video. Now time waiting for album will be hell....
I'm out of words... it's amazing!!!
ohhhhhhhhh this one gives me chills....
No wonder Kamelot could manage to make wonder came true with such an enormous singer... The female part is also far beyond criticism.
Arjen has been listening to some Gustav Holst for sure ;)
Everyone keeps telling me, but no! Really! Listened to it now of course and I love it :-) Ravel's Bolero could definitely have been an inspiration.
Wow...beautiful! Canot wait to get my hands on the entire album!
This entire album is a master piece !
Maravilloso!! Siempre espero tus nuevos trabajos Arjen...saludos de Chile!
What a beautiful song.
Perfect!!!
Really amazing - Great !
Holy sh*t, what a fantastic song this is!
Beautiful! Great job, Cammie!
Another BRILLIANT album!!
Thanx, Arjen!!!!
Amazing
Woooooooo Ayreon Premiere!!! 😁
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cammie!
I can feel beneath the waves vibes. And I love it.
Here take my money!!
Cammie is new to me but wow her voice has so much emotion, really liking this album so far. Tommy sounds much more emotional here as well, vs his usual powerhouse style. I’ll will be making my preorder very soon.
Check Tiara 3 parts, that is really emotional! Also Check Oceans of Slumbers
In seventh wonder tommy sounds emotional on many songs! Hes great!!🤘
Dude! Simply amazing!
CAMMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is amazing. Everything I expected and more. Cammie is wonderful, Tommy is awesome as ever, and Tom ... Tom! A masterstroke by Arjen. I love it!
Thank you for the music, Ayreon!
Can't wait!
Fantastic .i love it.the kind of music who can take us to others dimensons i just love it
Omg, so wow. I just sit speechless and breathless... Wow...
