Tempus - Spellbound / Official Music Video (2020)

The medieval rock band Tempus has unearthed a seductive, fiery ritual culminating at the seasonal time of Samhain in the form of a new music video single. Their latest offering “Spellbound” truly reveals something mysterious and magical. Fans have previously associated Tempus with folk-oriented music, but the latest music video Spellbound reveals a heavier, more rock-oriented side of the band. The song fits into a medieval rock style in which the band is evolving towards as they currently work on their upcoming untitled second album release and follow-up to their 2015 debut album “Bílá vrána”.

The lyrics were created based on images and visions of the singer Linda Ravenna, who composed the music. Spellbound is really colorful in styles. Initially, it’s romantic and delicate before the song develops into a myriad of rock, celtic, and medieval elements. From its inception, the song was perceived as a representation of an old, lost ritual where people are coming together in nature to meet the souls of their deceased loved ones.
The official music video has been shooted in the summer of 2020.

Lyrics:
Have you heard the sounds of yesterday
Echo from the hidden trail
Dancing under nature’s doorway
Gather ‘round lets drink some ale

Shadows glowing from the moonlight
Spirits soaring all around
Drinks are flowing, hear the laughter
Leaving footprints on the ground.

I know you’re near
Warm like the sun
I feel your heart beat
With mine as one.
Prey to the dawn
As stars turn down
You really save me
Got me spellbound

Legends that will last forever
Stories carried as they told
Life’s a feeling, never fading
Learning from the days of old.

See you dancing in the shadows
Speaking to me with your eyes
Wordless whispers, see them glowing
Like the stars above the skies

I know you’re near
Warm like the sun
I feel your heart beat
With mine as one.
Prey to the dawn
As stars turn down
You really save me
Got me spellbound
