As always thanks for being here! We're able to offer you this sneak peak via the Metropolis Records Soundcloud account! Please be discrete about this link as it's meant for you loyal Patrons!
We hope you enjoy this new recording. We've tried to keep the charm of the original, but also give you the quality it deserves!

Thanks so much,

Thanks for the idea, bought it myself after reading your comment:)

I by no means speak for the band but I recall from a past livestream I watched not too long ago that it would have to be up to the label to have vinyls done in general. The band itself doesn't handle the physical release of the music, at least not directly from what I understand.

I purchased all of their albums on Amazon digitally in my case, with the exception some of the EPs since those aren't on Amazon, I had to buy those on bandcamp instead. Under Your Spell I actually own twice digitally since I pledged for it on PledgeMusic at the time. I had to buy that on Amazon since they stopped supporting uploading your library of songs you already own to Amazon. I still can't believe PledgeMusic shut down. I was actually shocked to find that out.

I really hope you guys release this on vinyl! It would make be great for a 7 or 10 inch single. It's just as magical as I remember the original being!

I purchased the "NeverEnding Story" song from iTunes on Monday. While I was there in iTunes... I decided to finally purchase the albums Violet and Looking Glass from the band. I am now complete in owning their albums (digitally).

That would be cool, but I imagine the band would have to have the assets of the old version of the song and Metropolis Records would have to be on board to produce it. It is a big jump in recording however, since the old version of the cover sounds like it could be from the Nothing and Nowhere era.

Just went ahead and bought it on Amazon. I don't know how much of the money goes to you but I hope most of it does. Thank you again for remaking this!

This is absolutely amazing. despite the time that has passed between recordings you didnt lose the magic and love that you put into this cover <3

2021-03-18 09:25:43 +0000 UTC
Absolutely incredible work everyone, and I mean incredible! You all never fail to impress. It's amazing how you've given the song its own unique spin without diverting too much from the original one you did back in the day. I think I'm definitely gonna be replaying this to death all day π
ππ
2021-03-18 09:20:01 +0000 UTC
Freakin INCREDIBLE! Absolutely gonna have this on repeat. Ever since I heard the original version, I'd hoped that one day there would be a re-recording and this just delivers in every conceivable way. Vocals? Stunning. Instrumental? Magical. Me? Shook.
2021-03-18 08:41:13 +0000 UTC
I love it! Thank you!
2021-03-18 08:20:19 +0000 UTC

This is so beautiful! The new vocals are perfect, and shows how much you've guys have grown since the first recording. I really hope we can download this soon!
2021-03-18 07:52:08 +0000 UTC
Beautiful!!! The original is amazing but this improves on it immeasurably! This made me squeal and giggle in delight, and cry a bit too. I can't stop listening to it - it's so nostalgic because the film was a big part of my childhood and it makes me think of that, but it also takes me back to when I first discovered you on the internet so many years ago. It's as dreamy as the original, and I love how Chibi's vocals are much more clearly audible than the original. The new guitar and synth is soooo good. I love you, you're the best band ever! <3
2021-03-18 07:30:22 +0000 UTC
You guys nailed it!!! Phenomenal!
I've listened to the original, and the original cover done by you guys and I have to say, the rerecording is done really well, you've accomplished the goal to capture your original cover of this song. I say this is even better than the first time you guys recorded the cover, so huge improvement over that! Chibi's vocals really shine in this version too, while in the original cover I felt like her voice was a bit buried behind the instruments. If this track is available for purchase this Friday I will buy it! I can't wait to listen to this in my car coming home from work!

How funny i was just listening to the original and thought how cool it'll be if TBM did a cover π
2021-03-18 04:58:36 +0000 UTC
Is it bad that I desperately want you to cover "As the World Falls Down" from Labyrinth? It's been a fantasy of mine for many years now. Haha.
2021-03-18 04:54:07 +0000 UTC
This sounds soooo gooooooood!!
2021-03-18 04:48:42 +0000 UTC
Awesome! I love your covers
2021-03-18 04:48:03 +0000 UTC
I remember my sister made me a mixed CD of your material (this was circa 2008) and oh my god it sounds just like the original only better because it's new and the sound quality got better since, what, the early 2000s? (Although those early demos have a certain charm about them, no?) Thank you for this. π
2021-03-18 04:47:43 +0000 UTC
I freaking love this! Better than ever!! β€β€β€β€

In tears listening to this. It takes you back to that warm, safe place when you were a child. Safe, but you were still allowed to be afraid, and in the end you knew everything was going to be ok.
2021-03-18 04:29:02 +0000 UTC
Love! Such a fantastic take on an amazing song!

2021-03-18 04:10:12 +0000 UTC
Are you guys going to share with us how you were able to pull this off? Years ago I inquired about the demo and was told by various band members that you just did it for fun and it could never be a 'real' song due to legal/copyright stuff. I'm glad you were able to somehow safely navigate that to bring back a favourite, an anthem of hope during a time where we could all use it!
2021-03-18 04:09:29 +0000 UTC
