Snow White and Rose Red:
--------------------------------------------------------
Rose Red, Rose Red, Rose Red
Snow White, Snow White, Snow White

You used to call me Rose Red
How could I ever forget?
Full of love and passion you said
Now I'm full of hatred and filled with dread

We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend
And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand

Rose Red, Rose Red, Rose Red
Snow White, Snow White, Snow White

You used to call me Snow White
A snowflake shining bright
Full of serenity and light
Now my heart is suffering from frostbite

We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend
We are one, we could do anything if you just hold my hand
We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend
And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand

Rose Red, Rose Red, Rose Red
Snow White, Snow White, Snow White
All the tears that I have shed
When they took you away, Rose Red
I cried myself to sleep each night
Since we were forced apart, Snow White

We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend
We are one, we could do anything if you just hold my hand
We had a bond that was stronger than they could ever comprehend
And you know that people fear what they don't quite understand

Rose Red, Rose Red, Rose Red
Snow White, Snow White, Snow White

This s actually a very good study of contrasts.  The two singers work very well together, and their differences help highlight each others strengths.  One thing is clear - while both are trained and very talented, Zora's training is more modern and Ulli's training is more classical.  That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with either of them.

I cannot believe people are arguing the sisters / friends / lovers aspect.  The two of them are clearly magical creatures, and our mere mortal designations don't apply to them.  They share the names of the fairy tale sisters, but it is clear this isn't the same tale.

Opera singers: whats next?
Progressives: *metal opera, dude*

[tiberiussugarplum]

Snow white and rose red are sisters. They have nothing to do with snow white and little red riding hood. It's a German fairytale by the Grimm Brothers..

[zaggora]

Now we know why the red queen wanted her roses red. She wanted to make sure White could find her and not feel lost.

[sweetlullaby]

I love this genre. just discovered YOHIO's Nocturnal Serenade last night and this song was recommended by YouTube as well.. I'm so glad

[mattkingsbury]

It constantly amazes how Blackbriar can tell such beautifully-haunting stories---in this case, a true fairy tale---in just under four minutes. Love the "Grimm Brothers fairy tale" theme in this; the combination of Zora and Ulli is truly captivating.

[lol-hxmj]

Unpopular opinion: This is probably the only song that still works whether the two mains are a couple or sisters

[diogovarzim]

Zora and ulli have this opposite vocals that make such a perfect sounding contrast

[blivion]

Chilling flames engulf the entire world. Pitch-dark flower, set into bloom! Appear now, Black Rose Dragon!

It was beautiful, btw...

[honieworldtv]

I need their voices on a Disney soundtrack or something. These vocals are HEAVENLY ❤️🤍

[friendswiththeghosts]

I always start crying at 2:58, when Ulli Perhonen as Snow White seems to be screaming "Rose Red!!" It makes me feel emotions I haven't felt before.

[Andrzejef]

Anatomy of this song -
1) Intro
2) Goosebumps
3) What? It's the end already?
4) Replay

For those who do not understand the source of inspiration, this is, unsurprisingly from a Brothers Grimm tale, Rose Red and Snow White (different from the other Snow White) are sisters who talked with a bear

[Lady_of_Winds]

both characters are fitting so well! Ullis angelic voice and white hair, Zoras smoky, witchy voice and red hair... you both were born to be Snow White and Rose Red! ❤

My 4 year old daughter watched this video once and has been humming it and singing for 2 days straight. She loves you🌹❄

The sory of Snow White and Rose Red:

Snow White and Rose Red are two little girls living with their mother, a poor widow, in a small cottage by the woods. Fair-haired Snow White is quiet and shy and prefers to spend her time indoors, doing housework and reading. Dark haired Rose Red is outspoken, lively and cheerful, and prefers to be outside. They are both very good girls who love each other and their mother dearly, and their mother is very fond of them as well.

One winter night, there is a knock at the door. Rose Red opens the door to find a bear. At first, she is terrified, but the bear tells her not to be afraid. "I'm half frozen and I merely want to warm up a little at your place, " he says. They let the bear in, and he lies down in front of the fire. Snow White and Rose Red beat the snow off the bear, and they quickly become quite friendly with him. They play with the bear and roll him around playfully. They let the bear spend the night in front of the fire. In the morning, he leaves trotting out into the woods. The bear comes back every night for the rest of that winter and the family grows used to him.

When summer comes, the bear tells them that he must go away for a while to guard his treasure from a wicked dwarf. During the summer, when the girls are walking through the forest, they find a dwarf whose beard is stuck in a tree. The girls rescue him by cutting his beard free, but the dwarf is ungrateful and yells at them for cutting his beautiful beard. The girls encounter the dwarf several times that summer, rescue him from some peril each time and the dwarf is ungrateful each time.

Then one day, they meet the dwarf once again. This time, he is terrified because the bear is about to kill him. The dwarf pleads with the bear and begs it to eat the girls. Instead, the bear pays no heed to his plea and kills the dwarf with one swipe of his paw. Instantly, the bear turns into a prince. The dwarf had previously put a spell on the prince by stealing his precious stones and turning him into a bear. The curse is broken with the death of the dwarf. Snow White marries the prince and Rose Red marries the prince's brother.

This is the the saphic metal I was looking for

[johnathonsiwiec]

Voices are hauntingly beautiful. Reminds me of the Fae world in all actuality.

[aubreyackermann]

I think they were goddesses or spirits of some variety, who represent a duality. Separating them was like separating life from death: they look like opposites, but they need each other. Taking one away would break the world.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Blackbriar is the best
