When the word is out from the other side, she turns around
'Cause day and night she's waited patiently
Now a different kind of world out there is to be found
It's over now for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know it's the sign of the times
It wakes him up, he turns around
And now he's gone
He's been waitin' for this moment desperately
Now the time is right, he's turnin' back, he's going home
It's over now for everyone to see
This is the way it's meant to be
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know it's the sign of the times
And every time it's on my mind
I feel so insecure it worries me to end up here alone
But every time I realize, I need her more and more, yeah
I'd never make it on my own, oh God
It's the way that we make things right
It's the way that we hold on tight
I know it's the sign of the times
It's the way that we make things turn
It's the way that we live and learn
I know it's the sign of the times

Europe is a totally underrated rock band! Everyone only knows the final countdown ( which rocks), every song on that album rocks. Their old material is killer too.

So for all of you out there in the Tommy Johansson video community, I have a question. Has anyone of you heard anything from Tommy that he did not do better than the original musicians and singers? Is there anything this man cannot sing? Is there any guitar solo he cannot play and play better than the original? Is there any modern-day singer or musician more talented than Tommy? If there is I'd like to hear about him or her because I can't find anyone who even compares to the massive talent of this man.

Dan Vasc has the singing skills even though Tommy is a tenor and Dan is more of a baritone. Victor the Guitar Nerd is the only I can think of that have the same level of talent as Tommy, but Tommy have it all (and is a goofy giant hug machine)

Kee Marcello is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. His tasteful and melodic solos that stay close to the choruses are brilliant. What a choice, Tommy. Can't wait Edit: You blew this out of the water, man. Just absolutely beautifully done. Love that you had one of Kee's guitars.

Gosh, Finally somebody thinks the same as I do... Keep Marcello was the the best 🎸in Europe ! I don't like the way John Norum behaved as a spoiled child, I don't like the way he came back in the band... And I really Don't appreciate the way his name is given at least 2 or 3 times during a Europe'concerts... ☹️😡!!! Did you hear the Kee Marcello "Shine on" album ???

@@stephanyengelen5292 Hey. I have heard everything Kee has released. I really like his playing both with Europe and solo. He's technical but also tasteful. He can absolutely shred, but he doesn't have to. I prefer him to John as well. Just a personal preference.
Tommy, I want more Europe ballads, please! Your voice is perfect for this...🎸🎶 
Sign Of The Times has one of the best keyboard intros of all time and an excellent melodic guitar solo, looking forward to hearing your interpretation of it Tommy
As a big fan of the band Europe all congratulations to Tommy!👍🤩 I got goosebumps!😉 The energy in Tomi's voice is unique!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tommy took me back to my teenage years!👌
Tommy you sound like you were Europes singer back in the day! At the same time you’re making this song your own but still staying true to the original! I love everything about it, the vocals, the yellow Marcello guitar and the overall sound! Amazing…again!! 💥🔥⚡️🎸
We want more !

Very much agreed! Joey has an amzing voice. Joey is one of the greatest, hands down. And Tommy does this very well.
I hadn't listened to this song for a long time because it is linked to the disappearance of a person I was very close to. Listening to your cover hasn't been easy for me but it's absolutely fantastic, but I admit I couldn't hold back the tears
Wow, that was a perfect combination between lovely and powerful. Like a sweet lullaby (the kindness and honesty in your voice) you can totally rock on (that melody!), thanks for such a beautiful interpretation! Btw, that's a gorgeous guitar. You and everything in this video... Awesome!! 🎶🎵🎼✅✅✅🏆🏆🏆🏆 Have a great weekend, Thanks for another amazing friday. Take care, greetings from Venezuela 😁
This song is amazing! Your vocal, guitar playing!!! Thank you for your beautiful music Tommy, Have a great weekend🤘🎶🎸💖
O man, i love this yellow guitar....😅 I love this voice...❤❤❤
This is a favorite song of mine 😍 This Friday seems much better now! Happy weekend everyone 😁
WOW! One of the old time favourites. Tommy has gone one notch higher. 👍
This is so insanely good! Nailed every part of this song. Kee's solos on that record were the perfect blend of melody and shred and you hit every bit of it.

That guitar is a piece of 80's rock music and it's absolutely fabulous. Thank you for giving us another amazing cover 🤩🤘🤘🎶🎶❤🎸
A monster of rock. Huge talent.
That vocal range 😍😍😍 oh my goodness ❤❤❤
I get so nostalgic listening to this. You totally recreated Europe’s music and made it even better! I’m brought back to my childhood in the 80’s, listening to Europe and playing with Masters of the Universe-figures
You nailed the vocal, Joey will be proud, thanks.
One of the most underrated Europe songs. And Tommy is a farking genius, everything he does is awesome
Another amazing cover Tommy, and that guitar is beautiful 😍
WOW AMAZING TOMMY!! GRRAZIE! BRAVISSIMOOO 🤜✌💪 Europe...I remember when they came to play at the Sanremo festival in Italy, I was 10 or 12 years old. The next day I was playing with my little friends and I said: "Did you see the festival yesterday? I like Europe!" And a little boy said, "What? The ones with the lipstick and the long hair?" And everyone started laughing...I remember it like it was now....I felt misunderstood and different...that was my first step towards becoming a metalhead!! ✌🎸🎶 At my parent's house there's still a Europe poster somewhere! 🕉🌻♥️
Now I can say that Friday has definitely become the highlight of my week. You do not only cover a song but you also turn that into a gem where you put all of your feelings and passion 🔥 Few artists can do that. The way you play Kee Marcello’s guitar then (couldn’t wait to see that) adds that magical touch to the performance. Good job Tommy, see you next Friday 🎸 P.S I love you keyboard, a black Yamaha like mine 🎼🎹
I'm an extreme metal person but love everything you do Tommy (Sabaton, Majestica, Golden Resurrection etc...). Oh and back in the day I saw Europe (80's) numerous times and they were excellent live, great cover too!
Outstanding cover as always, and I'm sure Kee Marcello will be proud to know you're the new owner of his custom guitar. Loved the transition you did from the Charvel to the Larrivee for the solo to reveal your new "toy", it sounds amazing🤘🏻🎸
Ну, просто это было шикарно! Молодец! 🎹❤🎧🎼🎸❤
I'm an amateur drummer and I have been into Europe since The Final Countdown album came out. Great rendition of this awesome song: great vocals and guitar solo !!! Greetings from Italy
Man you are great! You are a giant! I'm very very happy to hear this cover! This is Europe's best track, from their best album! Long live 80s melodic rock! You gave soul to this solo! God Kee Marcello will be very happy because there is hardly any other guitarist besides you who can play the solo like that! Once again thank you! Please do a cover of Joe Lynn Turner's strongest track Rainbow - Can't Let You Go! ❤
I love your Friday videos ❤! And you make me discover more musicians that I like to listen to 🎧🎸 I guess some algorithm at Spotify scratches its head and wonders where she is going now 😂
As always, I love my Friday dose of Tommy! You always put out a great video, no matter what song you're playing. We love your hard work and dedication to bring us pleasure. Keep them coming, Tommy! So excited about the 8th🎶🎼🎸🎤🎹✨️🤘🎸👍👏🥳🎉🎊🥂
Looking forward this 😍
Vero vero good !
I found myself looking for your video at 3 am in U.S 😅 But I guess I have to wait a little longer to get an absolute well produced, cover gem like this one. Thank you Tommy for making me fall in love with my music once again. ❤🤗
