Thanks Tim for the mention! A short but beautiful song, and I knew you would appreciate Simone’s voice. Cheers! P.S. Did you check Crimson Bow and Arrow? That’s a pretty interesting song and quite different from EPICA sound
The Solace System is an ep containing 6 songs. It happened to be that for their album The Holographic Principle Epica wrote 18 songs, but as they did not want to release a double album 6 songs did not make it to the album. The songs did not fit the main album's conceptual idea or did not get enough votes from the bandmembers. The 6 songs were rather good songs though so the band decided to release them later as a seperate ep. Two more songs from Solace System if I'm right have an animated video too.
When I listen to 'The Holographic Principle' album, I always listen to 'The Solace System' straight after, because they belong together, It makes an amazing 18 song masterpiece, just phenomenal songwriting 🙃
@@watchtheskies Yes they do indeed. As i recall Mark voted for Immortal Melancholy to be on the album instead of Once upon Nightmare as the ballad, but Once upon got more votes from bandmembers. Both are outstanding songs by the way.
Hi Tim, there is an alternative version of this song with piano, personally I like the acoustic guitar version best, but the piano version is definitely worth a listen
Hi Tim, this is the middle video in a three video anime story,
The first video is 'The Solace System'
The third and final video is 'Decoded Poetry'
