Patricia muchas gracias por tu comentario, en efecto es una pieza maravillosa. La interpretación es magnífica y en efecto hasta difícil nos ha resultado poder explicar lo que Epica genera con su música. Estamos preparando también la reacción de Arcana... y como spoiler solo diremos "JOYA". Saludos!!!
The musical piece Epica did was an already existing musical piece called Danse Macabre. Epica was asked by the second most visited themepark in Europe called Efteling to reimagine the musical piece Danse Macabre for the opening of their new dark ride also called Danse Macabre. They just added the Ghost In Me title.
Thanks for your comment, we hope some day we have the chance to visit that theme park. And talking about the music and the video, we think that the combination is a masterpiece
Danse Macabre refers to the Dance of the Dead, typically shown in medieval art as a demon playing music on Halloween night to lure the dead from the graves and they dance to the demon's music until sunrise. Song is a collaboration with the Efteling's (famous Dutch amusement park) new ride, Danse Macabre. It is a replacement for a previous ride called the Spookslot (Hauted Castle). In both rides Camille Saint Saens symphonic poem from 1874 plays. Epica has incorporated the melody from that piece in this song. When Spookslot opened in 1978 Kate Bush did a 20 minute special for Dutch TV from Efteling, including her hit song Wuthering Heights which was recorded in the Spookslot. This video has a bunch of callbacks to that special including the gravestone with Epica's name on it, Simone's white dress, and her and the kids walking across a terrace. Regarding the blue and yellow contact lenses. The lore behind the attraction is that in 1876 (Oct. 13th -Friday) there was a music competition in the Abbey of Kaatsheuvel which is the building that is the ride. Conductor Joseph Charlatan and his orchestra played Danse Macabre and one by one the orchestra started dying mysterious deaths around the Abbey. Turns out they have been killed by the Het Onnoembare (The Unnamable), a shape shifting monster that usually appears as a black kitten with one blue and one yellow eye. At the entrance to the ride their is an animatronic black kitten with the mis-matched eyes. Simone is wearing the contact lenses to show she is the Het Onnoembare luring the children to their death where they will haunt the Abbey forever, dancing to the orchestra playing the Danse Macabre.
Thank you for your comment and also for the explanation. We didn't know it was about an attraction, the video is marvelous, but to be honest probably we missed lots of references because we didn't know all those things that you wrote. In deed we thought that the cat it was related with the new movie Coraline hahaha we didn't have any idea. We really appreciate the explanation!!!
No me canso de escuchar este tema, es increíble todo lo que hace sentir Epica. Excelente reacción
