The Neverending Story The Neverending Story

Comments

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.

Spirit

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.

Spirit

Bought it on bandcamp!

GIE

I would kill to hear this live.

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!

Spirit

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

Will this be available on iTunes?

This is beautiful! I'm so happy that you revived this magical track! Can't wait to see everyone again.

Awesome re-recording guys! There’s some serious magic going on here, with a three dimensional sound that is just incredible! Fantastic work!

Brian Pasternak

I think you would rock an 80s-90s cover album!

Still my favorite from my childhood excellent job guys!

This brought back memories of playing my VHS tape of the movie after coming home from school. Awesome re-recording of the song. This made my day.

I always hoped y'all would rerecord this like so many other fans! LOVE!

Omg I'm so in love with this πŸ’œ

Love this so much! Thank you! πŸ’œπŸ–€

Oh my god, it is beautiful, magical, whimsical, carries me back to my childhood....I so needed this, thank you.

Beautiful rendition as always! Just like your version of "I Think We're Alone Now". Fantastic!

My sister and I listened to the old version yesterday and now I can't wait to show the new one to her! :) so excited for what you guys are working on now!

It's definitely worth a release on Vinyl! One side the old cover version, other side the new one! Instant buy! Btw; What a great cover!!!

Thank you so much for this! What an absolutely stunning remaster! As always, a work of art from the band!

I love it. I like how the vocals are louder in this remake. Thank you so much.

I did not need to be hit with emotions this hard while driving on my way to work 😩😭😭 this was everything I wanted and MORE from a remastered version of this cover

I have been waiting for this since I heard you're original demo when I was back in High School. This made my life. <3

IT ROCKS!!!

Amazing stuff! Brilliant job guys! I agree it would be great if you made a limited edition 7 inch single for it

This sounds sooooo amazing, it brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much, you guys are truly the best πŸ’œ

It’s soooooo gooooood! I would love to have this on 45 vinyl 😎

I was pretty excited, having already listened the original version many times before and this cover is well done, really love it πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Un Matthieu Parmi d'Autres

I was 14 when this movie was released and it affected me deeply. This cover is everything I could have ever hoped for. <3

Thank you!! made my day!

I'm so glad you guys redid this, it sounds amazing!

ohmygoood I woke up to this πŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ–€ I think I like it even more than the first version back in the day πŸ’œ

This is everything I hoped it would be. πŸ₯²πŸ’œπŸ‡

Love love love love it! Thank yall for everything yall do

Loving this fantasy βœ¨πŸ§™πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

That’s awesome! Solid cover!

Exactly what i needed today!!! Absolutely love it!!! πŸ–€πŸ’œ

Made my day, thank you!

Thank You.

I legit cried happy tears and was smiling the whole time hearing this. It’s so beautiful! You all are so amazing and thank you for releasing this to us early! πŸ’œπŸ–€

πŸ₯° Always loved this cover, love this version as well. Thank you for this!πŸ’œ

Aaaaah so good! Thank you for sharing with us πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Siggy

Thank you so much for this :) Its beautiful and as always so amazingly done by you guys. You are just the best.

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 πŸ˜…πŸ’œπŸ’œ

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.

I love it! Thank you!

Omg!!! Just what I needed today! Thank you TBM!!

Andrew Patton

Amazing!

James Lewsey

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!

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

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!

Spirit

Dreamy... And on my birthday too!! 🀘❀️

Thank you so much!!! I always wanted to hear this for so long! This band is so amazing! <3

Benjamin Fox

I am so emotional after hearing this! On repeat πŸ’œπŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ’™

Natasha Grace

After all these years... finally, it arose. Really takes me back to the good old days. πŸ’œ Thank you! Canny artwork btw!

Omg its beautiful, listened to it on the way to work at 6am here in England its made my work day alot better πŸ˜€ what a way to start my day ! Amazing πŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ–€

What would be even better? You guys playing this live!!! Something to look forward to when we can gather for concerts again. Thanks for this cover

Mike Leon

Omg best early birthday gift ever ❀️❀️❀️❀️

Fantastic! You guys never disappoint!

I cried too, reminds me my childhood

Wow it sounds soooo beautiful!! πŸ˜πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ–€ I love it!

I actually burst into tears when it started playing πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Ohmygod 😭😭😭 Beautiful πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

How funny i was just listening to the original and thought how cool it'll be if TBM did a cover πŸ’œ

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.

This sounds soooo gooooooood!!

Awesome! I love your covers

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. πŸ’œ

I freaking love this! Better than ever!! ❀❀❀❀

Fantastic!

Huge rush of nostalgia listening to this! Y’all sound better than ever πŸ–€πŸ–€

Ray Allen

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.

Love! Such a fantastic take on an amazing song!

Beautiful!! Thank you TBM! πŸ’œ

Thank you for this beautiful cover!

It's March 18th as promised :)

YEEESSSSSSS!!!!

Yasss, 1:10 am here in Brazil, this early present? πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ’œ I always heard this song on YouTube, and now we have that beautiful and polished song, Chibi's voice is so clean and soft, and that fucking Keyboards that I love so much, You guys are so genius 😍

Awesome! I love it πŸ˜β€οΈπŸ‘πŸ»

It’s 4:10am in the UK and I found myself wake up suddenly and within seconds you posted this. Never has waking up randomly felt so good. That was so beautiful.

I just love it so much. Thank you for this. Beautifully done. πŸ’œπŸ–€πŸ¦„

πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œAmazing!πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Wow! I love this!!!

πŸ’œkillin’ it!!πŸ’œ

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!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I CAN'T STOP SMILINGπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ

Incredible and moving

you are the best band. Los amo
