      I used to think to myself, especially in things like we will take you with us... how can you scream like that without wincing in pain at screaming from your throat like that. I'm glad to hear that he still has that tone, but there's more depth to it and you know that he's doing it right now

    fucking majestic album, this song is already a classic. Well done guys and Simone you sing marvellously, that song is hard to sing but you have done brilliantly for a live performance. Long live the new kings and queen of symphonic metal.

      @mariolorist7348 9 лет назад +2

      Ligeia Noire Don't have to. Look at the tiny little cameras, for instance on the keyboard of Coen and on the drumkitt of Arrien. With those little things it's impossible to record a sound as we hear it. Those things are put there only for the images. Compare the song as you hear it on the video with the sound on the album. It's exactly the same. Nevertheless is Epica live one hell of a band. Saw them twice this year (Groningen and Leeuwarden) and they are live awesome.

    • @LigeiaNoire
      @LigeiaNoire 9 лет назад +1

      Mario Lorist I guess they didn't have to do that, retrospect is not that good of a performance and they still put it on a dvd so...

    • @KevinGoetz
      @KevinGoetz 9 лет назад +27

      Mario Lorist You can't be serious. Even aside from the blatantly different EQ between the two, listen to the differences in Simone's phrasing, especially on the chorus. I'll give you this, her voice is most likely pitch-corrected judging from some of those robotic snaps, but this is definitely NOT the album audio. They most likely pulled the sound directly from the PA, brought the stems into a studio somewhere, and had a quick mix created from that.

    Something is wrong
    My strength has gone
    Thoughts are corrupting my mind
    I can see I perceive this ain’t me
    Something so strong
    My mood has swung
    I can’t get it out of my head
    I believe that my mind misleads me
    (We confuse)
    Is it a doubt you try to hide
    (Tangle and abuse)
    Just have an open look inside
    (We appear)
    It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
    (Memory stuck in your mind)
    Retrieve your balance
    Use your senses to observe
    (The essence of silence)
    Search for essence
    Find the silence within you
    (The essence is…)
    You’re searching and bursting
    There seems to be no cure
    When tension endures
    Delusions corrupting my mind
    I can see I perceive this ain’t me
    There seems to be no way
    When light fades to grey
    To get them all out my head
    I believe that my mind misleads me
    (We confuse)
    Is it a doubt you try to hide
    (Tangle and abuse)
    Just have an open look inside
    (We appear)
    It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
    (Memory stuck in your mind)

    Use your senses to observe
    (The essence of silence)
    Search for your essence
    Find the silence within you
    (The essence is…)
    Make a start
    Explore your heart
    When a persistent memory
    Penetrates deep in your mind
    Allow the silence to destroy
    Your thoughts in every kind
    (We confuse)
    Is it a doubt you try to hide
    (Tangle and abuse)
    Just have an open look inside

    To wipe your thoughts away

    Ariën doesn't get enough attention for his drumming, no where near enough. He's damn good in the studio versions like this but live, he's in a different universe, he does the funkiest, off the wall, off beat kicks but damn if he isn't amazing. Ariën and Isaac joining the band was one of the best thing's that could of happened in my opinion, their styles blend better with the rest of the group and really allowed mark to unleash all the heavier ideas he had wanted to do.

They were supremely tight musicianship-wise, and phenomenally entertaining....and good Lord is Simone freaking gorgeous ! STILL smiling 2 months later 😀

    This is a fucking awesome live version of the song. S. Simons in her angelic and majestic voice together with Mark's incredible growling. This is even better than the studio version😊

      Mark's vocals are actually death grunts, but doesn't matter that much.
