Dianne has one of the few truly dramatic operatic soprano voices in symphonic metal. I love her rich and full timbre. It's like hearing Puccini in metal, and it makes me wonder what genre Puccini would be writing for if he were still alive today.
@@Nightykk Yes that is what happened to Nightwish when Tarja left. I think Dianne and Tarja are the two remaining. Nightwish with Tarja had the best overall compositions.
I remember meeting Dianne after the concert with Xandria in Prague back in 2014. I was surprised by how down to the earth she is: she talked with fans, took photos, and really made everyone who approached her feel appreciated. So glad she's back. It's time for the fans to show how much we appreciate her too.
I met her post-show at the merch booth 2017 when Xandria and Delain were opening for Sonata Arctica! She took a photo with my friend and I - it was my icon for a couple years!! Really hope I get the chance to see her live some day, and hopefully sign some merch!
Such sweet and kind words, thank you both so much! And hey, without you there would be no reason to create my music, so yes: I will always be there to say hi!
I also saw her back in 2014! One of my first concerts and the first singer I ever met live. Such a lovely experience. What I remember the most was thinking about how tall she is (but that might be because I am super short lol). It was such a pleasant first experience with meeting singers. She was so sweet!
@@DiannevanGiersbergen This is not my case, in 2016 I paid for the meet and greet in Colombia to be able to meet her, she was my favorite singer up to that moment, I asked her for a selfie to which she replied "no, I don't know you" and she left. I didn't get to enjoy the rest of the concert, and even though I'm a fan and love their music, it still hurts to remember that moment.
Hi @@TheMaoarango, it saddens me to read your message. I do remember the meet and greet in Colombia and as far as I know we (the band and I) left no one out. I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you though! Maybe it was an organisational error (there was always crew managing this M&G for us)? I would however never say "no, I dont know you" and then not take a picture with you, thats simply not who I am. So maybe something was lost in translation/organisation, but you clearly feel sad too. I am sorry to hear that dear. I hope that there will be a next time in Colombia on which I can change your mind about me 😘
Yepp, I missed this since Tarja was kicked out from Nightwish (I love Floor too). Utterly loved the Xandria album with Diane, but frankly her voice sells the music 600 other fairly known bands can play. I hope she has now the (marketing..) power just get a bunch of nice guys around her instead of joining an established band and keep making songs like this. I'm in. Now I just want a Kamelot or Arch Enemy collab and she ticks all the boxes for me. 😈🤘❤ (wow, I still hate emojis...) :)
She's as powerful as Tarja or Simone. The star of immense power and force, glowing in blue and scorching in raging UVA/UVB, that's the right definition of a sympho diva. Sitara devi सितारा देवी
Dear Diane! The metal world owes you a lot. You are so much more than an industry could want. You are a phenomenon. Gratitude for being who you are. Thank you for your talent, the world needs you.
@@DiannevanGiersbergen Congratulations for this epic song!!! WELCOME back dear Dianne... I'm one of those guys who have heard this kind of music for years.. and next month I'm starting my classical singing studies.. Finally, after trying to be someone else.. But now I found myself into this music.. and into this song 😍... Let's get back to South America.. It will be a pleasure to meet you and talk about music 😊.. My best wishes for you..
People who read this comment please think about it! You 50% didn't 👍 this ,but is not so difficult ,and Dianne it's nice! But she's such a smart people besides singing great,she's a sympathetic person.She reads and like all the comments, although she doesn't hate to.She even answers many peoples .So give her a like , it's easy for you ,and it's nice for Dianne!
I've always loved how you dramatize a song with your face, your eyes, your arms...your whole body becomes part of the song's expression, it makes watching you perform live a fantastic experience, and this video showcases this perfectly!
Fantastic to see you doing this kind of music again after what Xandria did to you I was really hoping your health would recover and we would get to hear you like this again .... fantastic!!!!
Congrats on the release of your first solo single, Dianne! Such an epic song! As always, your vocals are outstanding. And I love your gorgeous gothic dress 🖤
.....I'm gonna say this now. The two albums she did with her last band were stunning from what I've heard. But this? Dianne you were born to be a heavy metal solo goddess. WOOOOW
Dianne you are a True Warrior Princess. Going solo is not easy and yet u embark yourself ALONE and under your OWN NAME. That is not for cowards. That is for brave people like you. Most soloists go wrongly in different directions than the work they have been known for but here you show us you are still reigning the Epic Symphonic Metal world like no other. This genre is dying but you keep it living. Thanks for that. Keep on fighting for your career we are here for you.
Silence poor mortals ! The Queen of heart is reborn ! 👑 What a comeback, you’re stronger than ever ! Damn this is epic, it sounds amazing, the video looks beautiful and your outfit is on point, I love this blue dress 💙 I’m so happy for you Dianne, welcome back in symphonic metal 🤘🏻💙
This is the first time I have ever heard your voice and I love it! This song was in my RUclips feed and it intrigued me. You have such a powerful voice!
Melhor vocalista ao lado de Simone Simons. Dianne é perfeita na execução vocal e teatral. Eu realmente senti falta quando ela saiu do Xandria, ansioso por músicas assim ♥️♥️
This is the best symphonic metal I've heard all year...potentially the past few years. Your previous records pushed me to pursue a degree in vocal performance 10 years ago, and I am still singing today both classically and otherwise. Thank you for carrying the banner for the genre that I deeply love!
@@DiannevanGiersbergen Not many videos - I graduated in 2020 during the pandemic and spent most of my time studying opera repertoire. From 2021 till now I have grinded away on production and released a cover on this RUclips Channel. But I have a few private, more symphonic/power metal recordings linked in the description of that video now. I've removed links as I'd hate to drive traffic away from your awesome video/song and hard work! I was 16 years old when I auditioned and got into a YAP in Europe with the help of my voice teacher who was prepping me for college. My voice wasn't mature enough to sing full roles, but I was able to attend masterclasses and study art song in Novafeltria Italy. While there I traveled out to Masters of Rock as one of the friends I had met there told me about mysterious "Symphonic Metal" - luring me in with promises of Opera's huge vocals but with guitars. I was mesmerized, and we hoofed it all the way to Wacken after our rehearsals wrapped. There, I heard you perform Nightfall which tore open the gates. I couldn't have imagined anyone with an operatic voice like mine could actually be on stage as a rockstar and escape the tight corsets, lack of movement in scene blocking and frequently poor acting of the opera world. I probably would've quit if it hadn't been for introduction to this kind of music, but pressed on through a vocal education to hone my craft so I could sing along and eventually write music of my own. I tried to sing rock and other genres at that time, but my deep, dramatic soprano voice just didn't fit and I didn't have the technical aptitude to cross over at the time (And still am learning 10 years on!). So when I heard you, it gave me hope I could have the best of both worlds. And now you do it again and I feel 10 years younger again .Thanks for sharing this awesome work with the world :)
This song is a real joy to listen to, Diane's. voice is truly amazing.. I look forward to the rest of the album.

The sun is rising here in Mexico, so I woke up to find this beautiful surprise. I have to say, I needed to replay it a couple of times before knowing how to summarize how I feel, and how I feel is proud, I'm so proud of you Dianne. Time after time you've proven to be a top class singer, composer and creative. A sign of Dianne's approval means quality, it means passion and it also means freedom. It's a great way to start a solo career, usually the first solo single are kind of awkward for the separation from previous achievements, but this is very familiar and welcoming. Never stop creating Dianne, you have so much to give.
It's evident who emerged the strongest after the last "relationship", so to speak. God damn it, Dianne. This is awesome! I was hoping as much, but it's just great when things actually turn out the way you want (:
First time I heard Dianne's voice was about 5 years ago while listening to Voyage of the Fallen. I was so blown away with her astonishing voice and the way she sings and made me every word of the song and how she transmit the feelings through her singing. And now, 5 years later, still gave me the same amazing feelings that I had when I first heard her! No words can describe the charm of this brilliant lady! This is absolutely awesome! Hope to see and hear more of your masterpieces in future❤️ Love from Syria ✌️
What a way to build hype for an album! Dianne's voice just SOARS here, with effortless delivery and angelic power and glory! Visually the video holds true to its fantasy theme very well. The armor, the costuming, the locations, everything is just so well presented and produced. The only thing I would say is missing from her ensemble here would be a sword and shield, maybe a spear. But, that a minor quibble. The song itself is a tour de force of symphonic metal majesty that takes no prisoners and hold NOTHING back! If this first track is ANY indication of what to expect when the full album is released, we're in for a SERIOUS album of the year contender here folks..... I'm calling it NOW!!!!
It's nice to have Dianne back doing what she does best. Those who know her from her previous bands know what she can do and how versatile she is. I realize it takes a big investment in time and resources to put something out, but it looks like this single is getting quite a bit of traction, with over 75k views in a few days! I look forward to hearing more from her soon.
Uwielbiam ten utwór. Zawsze kiedy wychodzę z kryzysu, włączam go i słucham kilka razy dziennie. Dziękuję Dianno. Już za kilka dni będę mógł cieszyć się tą piosenką, dziś jeszcze trwa nad moją głową burza. **PO BURZY** Zgasły światła, kurtyna opadła, echo szczerego aplauzu cichło w dali. Harmonia, jeśli była prawdziwa, czemu więc jestem tak przygnębiony? O zmierzchu, próżno marnowałem czas - czyż nie powinniśmy stanąć ramię w ramię? Jak żałuję, moje chorągwie opuściły mnie, pozostawiając wstyd i pustkę. Płyń, mroczna strugo, zanieś mnie ku brzegowi. Rozgrzej me serce, złącz moje kości, bo już dłużej nie zniosę. Po burzy, po bitwie, gorzki deszcz spływa. Pokiereszowany i złamany, nie zostawię słów niewypowiedzianych. Odwaga zatonęła w pogłębiającej się nocy, gdzie zamieszkałem. Demonizowany, zastraszony, wzgardzony, lecz oczy wciąż otwarte. O śnie, który tak kochałem, o wspomnienia, które zalewają mnie obficie, Obudź mnie raz jeszcze, tyran nie zostanie obalony. I tak więdniesz, a on nie odpokutuje. Porzuci nasz świat: ten nikczemnik dzierży miecz. Włada niebem, aż pióra polecą i płonąć będą na wieki, na wieki. Po burzy, po bitwie, gorzki deszcz spływa. Pokiereszowany i złamany, nie zostawię słów niewypowiedzianych. Odwaga zatonęła w pogłębiającej się nocy, gdzie zamieszkałem. Demonizowany, zastraszony, wzgardzony, lecz oczy wciąż otwarte. Klątwa na twoje królestwo, klątwa na twe piersi. Pozwól mi się zatracić - oddam wszystko, co mam, lecz nie porzucę swej misji. Zhańbiony, porzucony, samotna dusza, zalana łzami i zagubiona w mroku. Bez broni i zbroi, ledwie cień, obciążony strachem. Do ciebie, ukochana, żegnam się i przekazuję płomień. Nieś go wysoko - jasny blask wskaże drogę, gdy odzyskam swą pieśń. Po burzy, po bitwie, gorzki deszcz spływa. Pokiereszowany i złamany, nie zostawię słów niewypowiedzianych. Odwaga zatonęła w pogłębiającej się nocy, gdzie zamieszkałem. Demonizowany, zastraszony, wzgardzony, lecz oczy wciąż otwarte.
Hi 👋, What amazing voice, and dramatic display, beautiful scenery, I am listening to this on my Transmission line loudspeakers 📢 cabinets, 150w , Phil from the moulin
In this video I see a fighter, a warrior, a winner. Just like the lyrics describe. Wonderful song, wonderful video, wonderful dress and wonderful voice! Nothing less than wonderful, here!
I met Dianne through Banda Xandria, hearing her voice, her Soprando Dramatico is impressive, very talented, I love her so much and the parts that I love to hear from her voice are these 01:0702:1603:45
Simply magnificent! One of the best voices in metal today, thanks Dianne for an excellent song,I have the honor of be in one show at Las Vegas when you were on tour with Xandria. Congratulations 🎉
Hi Enos, thank you for finding your way to my solo music! I love having you hear and hope you enjoyed the show in Las Vegas, really enjoyed our tour through the USA!
Listening to Dianne van Giersbergen first solo release #AfterTheStorm. Even though she teased for weeks with clips here and there, she did deliver a masterpiece to my ears! The depth of her voice made you visualize it like you were there in person experiencing the creativity of one's mind! Thank you, Dianne, for the music and for putting up with my antics in your posts! lol John #SlackerApproved 2/14/2023.
This come back is amazing, best surprise of the year, missed you so much Dianne ♥ Can't wait to hear your future song, and maybe to see you on stage, it would be a dream come true !
Simply epic Dianne. I’ve always loved your voice and this new song is a masterpiece. Please make some more of your own music and let us show our appreciation ❤
Dianne, I have been waiting to hear your beautiful, powerful and majestice voice again for a very long time. Finally now here! Greetings from Thailand.
Oh, how much I missed your marvelous voice in a new song. I'm so happy that you're moving ahead, after all that happened to you in Xandria. And this song is quite a headbanger so, good for you and my very best wishes for you!
Congratulations, my dear Dianne. I truly love the song. The video is amazing. You look beautiful with that blue dress. The lyrics are powerful. The part from 3:33 to 4:54 got me goosebumps. It was definitely worth waiting. 👏🏻💙
Hurray for the one year anniversary! Dianne, Ma'am, you are truly an amazing young woman. I listen to you almost daily. Yes, I suppose I do have a midlife celebrity crush. Lol.
Loved the song and the music video, she looks so stunning in blue! Love the way she's so dramatic when she sings, makes everything more intense. Sending congrats from brazil 💛💛💛💛
It's very very beautiful! Dianne thanks for this track! I adore you from 9 (now i'm 11 years old) . Greetings from Russia. We are waitingfor you in Moscow come please! It's a pity you can't throw photo,I drew the coverof your album on a denim jacket. Love you .❤️🤘
Wow! What a comeback! What a triumph! Congratulations Dianne! I don’t know exactly what I just witnessed. This style fits you perfectly Dianne - the operatic singing, dramatic acting, gothic warrior dress, fantasy location - everything is perfect. The whole concept is simply Dianne. You have done a number of really epic songs before with Xandria and Ex Libris, this one is certainly right at the top with the best, if not the crown jewel. I have to give credit to Joost too! Wow. He is an audio wizard. The songwriting is out of this world, and so is the production, and let’s not forget the playing of the band. I wouldn’t expect anything less from such top musicians. Will you be doing a crowdfunding to launch your album? I’d definitely want to support this project. Also, if you are still working on the new album, do you think it may be possible to do a duet with Manuela Kraller? She is also starting a new project as ANAYA. I think it will be amazing for fans to hear you two sing together. I don’t mean to dig up things from the past, but it is so nice to see how you have both risen stronger after being through similar experiences and are forging your own ways forward. Regardless of the past, I actually do think your voices will be a good match, since they are soprano, but quite different in tone. Not sure about the technical classification of the two voices (lyrical, dramatic, spinto etc.) but Dianne is slightly brighter and more dramatic in my opinion, whereas Manuela’s classical voice is quite dark for a soprano, but with a lot of power and Manuela can also sing softer pop and also in a rock voice. Simply an idea… But what ever plans you have for the future as a solo artist and collaborations I know it is going to rock. Congratulations once again! I really look forward to more. I wish you luck and know that this new chapter in your life will be very successful.

Dianne has one of the few truly dramatic operatic soprano voices in symphonic metal. I love her rich and full timbre. It's like hearing Puccini in metal, and it makes me wonder what genre Puccini would be writing for if he were still alive today.
Thank you so very much, especially for the Puccini referrence. I always say his music is 'honey for the ears', there's nothing like it 🙏❤️
😮Wow! The one and only TCV giving a comment 😁👍 But, this song deserves it for sure! And maybe... a future analysis 😊❤ ???
he would probably keep throwing it in the bin after hearing how good this song is
So you're going to cover this song in a video? I'd love to see that!
TheCharismaticVoice and Dianne 😀. For when the video reaction?
I'm glad there's still someone that keeps the opera stuff in the genre alive now that almost everyone is abandoning it.
Could not agree more!! Well you can rest asured, this is my thing and always will be!
you said what I wanted to say. also thank you DIanne for not going trendy !
Opera must never die! And I thank our lovely Dianne for continuing to show how wonderful it is 🤘
Symphonic metal with that opera feel
@@Nightykk Yes that is what happened to Nightwish when Tarja left. I think Dianne and Tarja are the two remaining. Nightwish with Tarja had the best overall compositions.
What a pleasure it was to make this video for this stunner of a lady and epic song! Happy release day, dear Dianne!
Great work together ❤
Recorded in Luxemburg??

This song is a real joy to listen to, Diane's. voice is truly amazing.. I look forward to the rest of the album.
The sun is rising here in Mexico, so I woke up to find this beautiful surprise.
I have to say, I needed to replay it a couple of times before knowing how to summarize how I feel, and how I feel is proud, I'm so proud of you Dianne.
Time after time you've proven to be a top class singer, composer and creative. A sign of Dianne's approval means quality, it means passion and it also means freedom.
It's a great way to start a solo career, usually the first solo single are kind of awkward for the separation from previous achievements, but this is very familiar and welcoming.
Never stop creating Dianne, you have so much to give.
Aaaaw thank you for such a sweet message Alejandro! You gave me goosebump when reading it. Thank you for supporting me like you do!
So glad Dianne is putting out new music. As everything she does, this song is fantastic. Can't really wait for more 🤟.
Much love, Dianne.
Aw thank you so much 🥰
Oh my god, I'm gonna play this a million times!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely epic 👌👌
After hardest days this song bring me so much happiness. Congratulations dear Dianne can't wait for the album released
It's evident who emerged the strongest after the last "relationship", so to speak. God damn it, Dianne. This is awesome! I was hoping as much, but it's just great when things actually turn out the way you want (:
Aw thank you so very much, your message made me smile 😊
First time I heard Dianne's voice was about 5 years ago while listening to Voyage of the Fallen. I was so blown away with her astonishing voice and the way she sings and made me every word of the song and how she transmit the feelings through her singing. And now, 5 years later, still gave me the same amazing feelings that I had when I first heard her! No words can describe the charm of this brilliant lady! This is absolutely awesome! Hope to see and hear more of your masterpieces in future❤️ Love from Syria ✌️
Que música espetacular!!
Amei demais!!
Dianne maravilhosa,voa que o céu é o limite para você!
What a way to build hype for an album! Dianne's voice just SOARS here, with effortless delivery and angelic power and glory! Visually the video holds true to its fantasy theme very well. The armor, the costuming, the locations, everything is just so well presented and produced. The only thing I would say is missing from her ensemble here would be a sword and shield, maybe a spear. But, that a minor quibble. The song itself is a tour de force of symphonic metal majesty that takes no prisoners and hold NOTHING back! If this first track is ANY indication of what to expect when the full album is released, we're in for a SERIOUS album of the year contender here folks..... I'm calling it NOW!!!!
Great piece of symphonic metal! Dianne, you are amazing. I'm so happy you are still singing for us!
I really love about Dianne that she can show multiple emotions at once and how expressive are her eyes
Hey thank you! What is music without emotions right? It's the thing that drives us to create art!
Incredible single Dianne ! Time to form a touring band and do some shows and share your awesomeness with the world again !
I cry with happiness. I love your majestic and dramatic voice so much. so much happened in my life under the songs in which you participated.
Then let my song be a light in the darkness for you Lilit!
Simply stunning. Thank You so much for Your music, Dianne!
Really good, thank you for keep singing for us, listening you from your joining to xandria, and waited for your new songs, happy to hear you
Thank you for your continued support! 🙏
A powerful return from one of the best voices I’ve ever heard. Glad you’re back, welcome beautiful Dianne😭💜
Dianne a best vocal in the world,love your voice since 2016,thank you so much Queen,best singer of Xandria
Your voice is stunning Dianne! Truly a voice of a lifetime ❤❤
Aw thank you so very much 🥰
I couldn't agree more 🙂
Lindo demais. Dianne é uma cantora incrível e merece todo o sucesso do mundo. Essa música e clipe ficaram perfeitos!!!
It's nice to have Dianne back doing what she does best. Those who know her from her previous bands know what she can do and how versatile she is. I realize it takes a big investment in time and resources to put something out, but it looks like this single is getting quite a bit of traction, with over 75k views in a few days! I look forward to hearing more from her soon.
Uwielbiam ten utwór. Zawsze kiedy wychodzę z kryzysu, włączam go i słucham kilka razy dziennie. Dziękuję Dianno. Już za kilka dni będę mógł cieszyć się tą piosenką, dziś jeszcze trwa nad moją głową burza.
**PO BURZY**
Zgasły światła, kurtyna opadła, echo szczerego aplauzu cichło w dali.
Harmonia, jeśli była prawdziwa, czemu więc jestem tak przygnębiony?
O zmierzchu, próżno marnowałem czas - czyż nie powinniśmy stanąć ramię w ramię?
Jak żałuję, moje chorągwie opuściły mnie, pozostawiając wstyd i pustkę.
Płyń, mroczna strugo, zanieś mnie ku brzegowi.
Rozgrzej me serce, złącz moje kości, bo już dłużej nie zniosę.
Po burzy, po bitwie, gorzki deszcz spływa.
Pokiereszowany i złamany, nie zostawię słów niewypowiedzianych.
Odwaga zatonęła w pogłębiającej się nocy, gdzie zamieszkałem.
Demonizowany, zastraszony, wzgardzony, lecz oczy wciąż otwarte.
O śnie, który tak kochałem, o wspomnienia, które zalewają mnie obficie,
Obudź mnie raz jeszcze, tyran nie zostanie obalony.
I tak więdniesz, a on nie odpokutuje.
Porzuci nasz świat: ten nikczemnik dzierży miecz.
Włada niebem, aż pióra polecą i płonąć będą na wieki, na wieki.
Po burzy, po bitwie, gorzki deszcz spływa.
Pokiereszowany i złamany, nie zostawię słów niewypowiedzianych.
Odwaga zatonęła w pogłębiającej się nocy, gdzie zamieszkałem.
Demonizowany, zastraszony, wzgardzony, lecz oczy wciąż otwarte.
Klątwa na twoje królestwo, klątwa na twe piersi.
Pozwól mi się zatracić - oddam wszystko, co mam, lecz nie porzucę swej misji.
Zhańbiony, porzucony, samotna dusza, zalana łzami i zagubiona w mroku.
Bez broni i zbroi, ledwie cień, obciążony strachem.
Do ciebie, ukochana, żegnam się i przekazuję płomień.
Nieś go wysoko - jasny blask wskaże drogę, gdy odzyskam swą pieśń.
Po burzy, po bitwie, gorzki deszcz spływa.
Pokiereszowany i złamany, nie zostawię słów niewypowiedzianych.
Odwaga zatonęła w pogłębiającej się nocy, gdzie zamieszkałem.
Demonizowany, zastraszony, wzgardzony, lecz oczy wciąż otwarte.
Es un completo placer escuchar una voz tan majestuosa y con una buena propuesta en el Metal Sinfónico, gran canción! Un abrazo desde México! ❤🇲🇽
💚🤍❤️
Yea!! What he said!!
Afortunadamente la vi en vivo en Argentina. Es una DIOSA!!! una diva, su voz es increible, de recordarlo todavia se me pone la piel de gallina.
Qué suertudo o suertuda eres!
I have been waiting for you to reappear on the music scene again. Omg what a reappearance what a powerful song. Bravo
Aparte de cantar bien es muy hermosa y las mejores piernas del metal sinfónico
Hi 👋, What amazing voice, and dramatic display, beautiful scenery,
I am listening to this on my Transmission line loudspeakers 📢 cabinets, 150w ,
Phil from the moulin
At last! My favorite female vocalist comes back! You are a miracle, Dianne! Waiting for full album!🥰😍🤩
This is absolutely brilliant, it feels epic and warm at the same time. Dianne’s voice sounds so awesome, she’s at her absolute prime.
GOOD TO HAVE HER BACK! Awesome to hear from her still have that talented voice.
Absolutely amazing... can't believe the YT algorithm took 2 months to put this on my feed. Anything you do should be front and center immediately.
Aw thank you so very much dear! Happy to hear that my song found you in 'the end'. Stay tuned for more!
My queen! A masterpiece as a first single is not for everyone, right???
Thank you for giving us this gift! You’re a true artist ❤️🖤
In this video I see a fighter, a warrior, a winner. Just like the lyrics describe.
Wonderful song, wonderful video, wonderful dress and wonderful voice! Nothing less than wonderful, here!
Well that put a wonderful smile on my face 🥰
Simply WOW! I needed this woman back in my life.
Well here I am hahaha! Happy to be back ;)
I missed your beautiful voice. Welcome back Dianne! I can't wait for the full album ♥
I met Dianne through Banda Xandria, hearing her voice, her Soprando Dramatico is impressive, very talented, I love her so much and the parts that I love to hear from her voice are these 01:07 02:16 03:45
Vocals, beauty and character summed up in one word...enchanting.
Simply magnificent! One of the best voices in metal today, thanks Dianne for an excellent song,I have the honor of be in one show at Las Vegas when you were on tour with Xandria. Congratulations 🎉
Hi Enos, thank you for finding your way to my solo music! I love having you hear and hope you enjoyed the show in Las Vegas, really enjoyed our tour through the USA!
Marvelous work from a marvelous lady!! A pleasure to have your return be an absolute joy to watch and listen to 🤘🤘🖤🖤
Aw thank you so very much 🥰
Listening to Dianne van Giersbergen first solo release #AfterTheStorm. Even though she teased for weeks with clips here and there, she did deliver a masterpiece to my ears! The depth of her voice made you visualize it like you were there in person experiencing the creativity of one's mind! Thank you, Dianne, for the music and for putting up with my antics in your posts! lol

Simply epic Dianne. I’ve always loved your voice and this new song is a masterpiece. Please make some more of your own music and let us show our appreciation ❤
Well with that promise of support who am I to refuse ;)
This song is so good; can't wait to hear more. Also, Dianne's voice at 4:33 when she sings softer is so beautiful. What a wonderful tone to her voice.
I love this video!! The music and Dianne’s voice is amazing with a wonderful band! So beautiful!!!
Dianne, I have been waiting to hear your beautiful, powerful and majestice voice again for a very long time. Finally now here! Greetings from Thailand.
Oh, how much I missed your marvelous voice in a new song. I'm so happy that you're moving ahead, after all that happened to you in Xandria. And this song is quite a headbanger so, good for you and my very best wishes for you!
Congratulations, my dear Dianne. I truly love the song. The video is amazing. You look beautiful with that blue dress. The lyrics are powerful. The part from 3:33 to 4:54 got me goosebumps. It was definitely worth waiting. 👏🏻💙
Thank you so very much Jose! Means a lot to read your kind words!
Hearing her voice is so nostalgic. Love it!
Miss Dianne slay as always. That dress, that powerful vocal and that majestic song. pure masterpiece , my queen!!👑
The queen; you never disappoint, always coherent with your music. I love you beyond how words can Express
Wow, was für ein epischer Song! Mega! 🤘🖤🤘
Hurray for the one year anniversary!
Dianne, Ma'am, you are truly an amazing young woman. I listen to you almost daily.
Yes, I suppose I do have a midlife celebrity crush. Lol.
Aaaaw well Im honored that I am your (musical) crush Douglas 😊
Thanks Dianne For This Amazing Song! I can't wait To Hear The Album ❤️
Dianne never disappoints. Amazing video and voice as always.
Loved the song and the music video, she looks so stunning in blue! Love the way she's so dramatic when she sings, makes everything more intense. Sending congrats from brazil 💛💛💛💛
Ah well thats what a dramatic soprano does best I guess 😉. Thanks for your support!
This is absolutely fantastic 😍
The voice, the emotions and the acting truly make this feel like an epic tale ☺️
Господь услышал наши молитвы! Дианна возвращается!
All heil to our glorius queen of symphonic and power metal🤘
Ксандрия без Дианы ничто. А вот Диана без Ксандрии ничего не потеряла! Я тоже очень рад! Я ждал этого момента!!!!
Оой Б... ещё один свидетель второго пришествия аленького цветочка, т.е. Дианы🤦♂
@@thedevil5667 так должно было случиться! Сердце говорило мне об этом.

It's very very beautiful! Dianne thanks for this track! I adore you from 9 (now i'm 11 years old) . Greetings from Russia. We are waitingfor you in Moscow come please! It's a pity you can't throw photo,I drew the coverof your album on a denim jacket. Love you .❤️🤘
Wow! What a comeback! What a triumph! Congratulations Dianne!
I don’t know exactly what I just witnessed. This style fits you perfectly Dianne - the operatic singing, dramatic acting, gothic warrior dress, fantasy location - everything is perfect. The whole concept is simply Dianne.
You have done a number of really epic songs before with Xandria and Ex Libris, this one is certainly right at the top with the best, if not the crown jewel.
I have to give credit to Joost too! Wow. He is an audio wizard. The songwriting is out of this world, and so is the production, and let’s not forget the playing of the band. I wouldn’t expect anything less from such top musicians.
Will you be doing a crowdfunding to launch your album? I’d definitely want to support this project.
Also, if you are still working on the new album, do you think it may be possible to do a duet with Manuela Kraller? She is also starting a new project as ANAYA. I think it will be amazing for fans to hear you two sing together. I don’t mean to dig up things from the past, but it is so nice to see how you have both risen stronger after being through similar experiences and are forging your own ways forward.
Regardless of the past, I actually do think your voices will be a good match, since they are soprano, but quite different in tone. Not sure about the technical classification of the two voices (lyrical, dramatic, spinto etc.) but Dianne is slightly brighter and more dramatic in my opinion, whereas Manuela’s classical voice is quite dark for a soprano, but with a lot of power and Manuela can also sing softer pop and also in a rock voice. Simply an idea…
But what ever plans you have for the future as a solo artist and collaborations I know it is going to rock.
Congratulations once again! I really look forward to more. I wish you luck and know that this new chapter in your life will be very successful.
Yeees , I am so happy the song is doing so well. People recognize quality 👌 Good job and keep surprising us like this!
Thank you so very much! Have you also already heard me new single "Unleash the Siren "?
