Anneke's voice and the instrumental parts create a sound with an undertone of melancholy, sadness, joy and a longing for something intangible from another, profound reality. What an epic song from The Gathering.
2019.....I’m 49 years old....how in the hell did I make it this far and NOT know anything about this band? I feel like I’ve been missed something very important....this should’ve been played on the radio, instead of the crap that’s been fed to us for the last 40 years!
Idk your country but the Gathering was well known in my country and they even play some songs on the radio, not top 40 hits shit but it was present like other "alternative" bands at that time, today i agree with you, radios sucks mayor ass in term of the music they play
It's 2022 and I'm glad i finally found them.. was a huge Theatre of Tragedy fan since I was 12 yo, glad to find another slower doomier band w/ strong, clear, classically trained female vocals, Anneke expresses the spirit within music & voice as instrument. Wish I'd heard of them decades ago but I live under a rock!
It’s because Anneke is so spectacular that it’s easy to forget how brilliant the rest of the band is. René Rutten is a magnificent guitar player and songwriter.
Yeah, but she alteranted their whole style... They were death metal or something really heavy as far as I remember. "A king for a day" for example - had it on a tape too. Cassette*
@@somegirl558 Yea Their first album is "Always" Also i consider their best album is also "Always" As far as i remember it wasnt Anneke's influence. Anneke joined the band after second album. Bart smits left the band via musical differences while they were writing second album.
I'd like to take a moment and thank the universe, and Anneke's parents, for creating this woman and the gift she shares with the world. Her voice is intoxicating no matter what style she is singing.
Oh boy you're in for a ride. The Gathering is something special and one of The Netherlands finest bands. Never put the same album out twice, very adventurous
This song is from their fourth album, Nighttime Birds. Try that one and the third, Mandylion, for a test taste. Also, their first album is amazing if you like early nineties doom/death metal.
@@MrScum76 I agreed with the OP until I read this. Now I agree with you. Anneke IS a goddess. This woman has always been amazing. But her and Devin together? Oh man. 🤟🏻😳
La conocimos en persona en Santiago de Chile, año 2004...desde Temuco, viajamos a verla al ex Teatro Providencia...febrero....a tablero vuelto...dos días seguidos...impactados con la gente aca...
I also like the strange sounding keyboard. It adds an interesting sound effect blending with bass/guitar. I like he guitar sounds both clean and distorted. Man, there was some good bands in the ‘90’s but I missed this one. Oh well, I heard them now and I am glad I did, thanks for the vid.
Es la mujer mas hermosa del mundo, con la vos mas hermosa del mundo, aun hoy a sus 40 años se conserva igual de hermosa, fue, es y será por siempre mi amor eternamente platónico, porque el amor real de mi vida es mi hija de 6 años.
whoa... takes me back.... Saw them live 3 times when Anneke fronted the band... Such a fantastic singer and the atmosphere she managed to create with the rest of the band was magical. Her voice moves me...
One of the greatest bands ever. One of the most talented and beautiful women in history. Adoro a The Gathering y a Anneke desde mi adolescencia, son parte de mi vida, los amo. Espero vuelvan a México pronto.
This was my first song I heard from this fantastic band, I immediately fell in love with her voice and beauty ... today almost 2018 I still listen to this song. Anneke is a goddess in this fucking world.
False eyes are staring Disrespectfully and untrue The burden that we are carrying Is way too much for me and you Sometimes it is better to lay Don't you think? I'm evaporating A veil of smoke is what I am Your thoughts will take on their way To grow old and to be certain Sometimes it is better to lay Don't you think?
Anneke is the goddess... Saw The Gathering live 3 times with her on vocals. I was transported to another plane... Her voice is divine... And I saw in earlier comments that I said similar things lol :D
Es y será una de las mujeres más bellas y con una de las voces más hermosas del rock. 22 años ya de este show, me recuerdo haberlo tenido en VHS, siempre será mi amor de adolescencia annekita!
conseguiram destruir tudo que era bom, se ao menos se preocupassem em manter o que foi construído em décadas, séculos, mas nem isso... nos últimos 20 anos parece que tudo virou ruínas e não tem perspectiva de salvação a curto prazo
This song make me remember one of the greatest loves of my life... Hi my love, wherever you are now...listen, Anneke is still here...and she is still singing for us, like she did one beautiful time...i still miss you sometime...
*The beauty of a woman will always be mesmerizing, blinding.* *Especially in today's modern, rotten and deranged world.* *2020 and here I am remembering when I was 16 years old listening to this cassette.* *Amazing.*
Gracias por subir el vídeo y poder disfrutar de esta hermosa música y por supuesto, de la belleza y encanto de su vocalista .... Anneke. Saludos desde Chile.
A glorious song with a wonderful voice and a wonderful girl. And for a moment i feel something magic and unbelievabel in my heart! I don't now what it is, but it's so wonderful!
Cada que vuelvo a ver un video de Gathering con Anneke me vibra los sentimientos. La voz y el prodigio de cada instrumento hacen cada canción sublime, gran grupo The Gathering. Quiero darle un like y descubro que ya lo hice previamente.
Great great band. Never had the chance to see them. And Anneka. You can find love, convince yourself that is enough - I have - but honestly nothing could ever compare. Then and now she is perfection personified.
Anneke has always had that beautiful voice, Rene is so underrated as a guitar player. Rene is the Edge and David Gilmour mixed together. What an underated guitar player. Listen to what he's doing here. Unbelievable.
I don't think I've ever been so moved emotionally by music than when I listen to the gathering..annekes voice is beautiful. Love hearing her with Devin Townsend. The perfect duo
One of the most beautiful solos ever, its talking back to her, like she wanted something bad but it couldn't happen unless she just let it go to the higher energy and as she lets go , the world starts going to work making it happen as her now stresses stop the natural flow of life and its constant ever giving to us, like the guitar slowly on its way to triumph the situation for her as she sleeps. All your hard work pays off, but u have to let go of going on automatic over stressing eventually or overworking because you did so much of it on your own,,,we must never forget the millions of things that we cant see that brings every second of life to us, every experience.
I'm glad I saw this at an older age so I can appreciate her now I wouldn't have liked this back then she's absolutely wonderful breathtaking and her vocal ability and her presentation and is also very pretty on top of it all perfect showmanship
A voz dessa mulher é assustadora de tão bonita: timbre foda, personalidade, em uma mulher igualmente carismática. Que banda, vale destacar, todo mundo tocando muito bem. Uma das melhores coisas que o rock/metal produziu nos anos 90.
Was here 2 years ago, amazing: now I’m going through a divorce. This actually makes me too a happier place. Thank you.? This again is again amazing. I know it’s not the same. You have no idea. Again cheers from Canada.
The Gathering is the best! Music has always been a huge part of my life. Theres something about them that no other band can touch. To you people with thumbs down, you don't deserve anything
2024 !!! And still alive in this crazy world 🌍 😢
Easily one of the best voices ever in rock/metal.
Аннеке и Floor
The best
one of the best smiles too

Anneke is priceless, one of a kind for 25+ years in my life
Anneke is a queen. No bullshit, she is the greatest.
when I want to be infinitely happy and sad at the same time, I listen to Anneke's haunting voice.
Same here my friend....
@@kentwinstonmedia Yeah...
Wow. Just wow
Join the club
2019.....I’m 49 years old....how in the hell did I make it this far and NOT know anything about this band? I feel like I’ve been missed something very important....this should’ve been played on the radio, instead of the crap that’s been fed to us for the last 40 years!
you and me both. just hit fiddy recently. radio still plays CRAP I hated 30 yrs ago.

Todo dia eu me deixo envolver por essa melodia

Thats a fact, absolutely, thanx so much for your words - greetings from Bavarian Mountains 🤘🤘🎸🎸
True, also few bands can (or care to) put together such flawless live performances, consistently.
the girl of all dreams
casaca taca. I will say. " All of us" .... We are so many lovers of anneke
She is so beautiful. I cant stop watching her
I would like to go back to the 90s
She got a positive, uplifting aura. Makes you watch her with your mouth open :) I feel like the hobbits who first saw Galadriel :))
Or Gemli
The beauty of the sound reflected in her face.
25 years and I never get tired of this song...
looking at her and listening that voice...makes you forget about the problems happening outside in the real and sad world.
agreed!!!
amen
Same here!!!
I'd like to take a moment and thank the universe, and Anneke's parents, for creating this woman and the gift she shares with the world. Her voice is intoxicating no matter what style she is singing.
Anneke is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was stunning back then. Now too old for me.
No, dude, you are too young for her :))))))))
Qñ
Brings me to tears every time!!..
This is perfect. How could i not know about this? This is perfect.
you know nothing my little jhon snow...

Until I found this video I had never heard of this band. The singing is absolutely awesome, with outstanding music. The whole song blew me away.

When she dances is so marvelous...
Tan linda :3 .. su voz, su personalidad, su ternura, su carisma sobre el escenario ...ahhh..me enamore cuando la vi por primera vez :3 :3
Uma das maiores vocalistas de todos os tempos ! , inigualável Anneke !
Eu acompanho a banda desde 1996
Mi Anneke preciosa, se le ve tan joven, tierna y carismática, y a la vez muy imponente con su performance... Definitivamente es la #1 para mí
19 years still remember .SUPER
my first love at the teeneger days:D
+Oz Bey Yeah, she's mine!
Oz Bey el mio también me encantaba quería una novia así... Me 2 and Liv Kristin.. They are my teenagers loves
Fight you for her!!!
Cmon guys... everybody was mesmerized by her aura way back when
ad now, at 40th..
Wow what a breath of fresh air.. what the hell was that??!!! Vocalist is another level all together
Can't believe I just now discovered this on My90sTV (TV emulator). I was 17 in '97, but somehow I missed on this soul-gripping piece of music....
I had knew them in my youth but never listen to... Even I were listening to gothic metal music. Maybe I were you young to appreciate to their music.
Una bella voz que me transportaba a otros lugares cuando tenía 17 años! Hace 17 años precisamente!

The live version is even better than the studio
Magisch. Unerklärlich. Überirdisch. Diese Musik wünsche ich mir im Himmel :-)
False eyes are staring
Disrespectfully and untrue
The burden that we are carrying
Is way too much for me and you
Sometimes it is better to lay
Don't you think?
I'm evaporating
A veil of smoke is what I am
Your thoughts will take on their way
To grow old and to be certain
Sometimes it is better to lay
Don't you think?
É impossível não se apaixonar por essa mulher.
Eu acompanho a banda desde 1996
She seems to be full of the joys of spring and she's actually rocking it! Love her 5:25
thanks to who records and save it till today, its beautiful
can't stop listening again and again...
i'm in love
Anneke is a goddess
Anneke is the goddess... Saw The Gathering live 3 times with her on vocals. I was transported to another plane... Her voice is divine...

Annekita? Thats cute...did you make that up?
@@pietjebell6572 annekita Chilean way 😂
I`ve seen The Gathering the first time on the Bospop-Festival 1996 and the voice of Anneke blows my mind away!
Wie ich diese Stimme liebe..keine andere Frauenstimme hat mich jemals so berührt wie ihre..vor allem bei diesem Lied.
+DesTeufelsLiebe
tatsache
Anneke is and was definitely one of the best and most beautiful female singers out there! She looked amazing back then in 1997!!😍😍😍😍😍
Bons tempos. Ouvi demais esse álbum.
saudade do meu passado...
conseguiram destruir tudo que era bom, se ao menos se preocupassem em manter o que foi construído em décadas, séculos, mas nem isso... nos últimos 20 anos parece que tudo virou ruínas e não tem perspectiva de salvação a curto prazo
já foi faz tempo
Conheci as musicas deles esses dias
Melancolia da porra !!
Muito Massa .
Her voice was blessed by an Angel, su Voz fue bendecida por un ángel
This woman ❤
I was young once ago, too. I love the Gathering since I remember ;)
This song make me remember one of the greatest loves of my life...
Hi my love, wherever you are now...listen, Anneke is still here...and she is still singing for us, like she did one beautiful time...i still miss you sometime...
I love this woman! She is the best, so perfect in voice, songwriting, beautiful lyrics. A wonderous woman!
Her voice is an incredible journey from an oriental fairy tale.
As if the sacred books of the past had found a voice.
*The beauty of a woman will always be mesmerizing, blinding.*
*Especially in today's modern, rotten and deranged world.*
*2020 and here I am remembering when I was 16 years old listening to this cassette.*

Best compliment to the Guitar Master Rene is that i have read. Really a criminally underated guitarist. Thank you sir ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🎸
Although she is 48 now,her smile and voice makes you happy
Beautiful woman in a beautiful band with a beautiful voice and this is something peculiar about the promising music by the gathering
Siempre fue mi modelo a seguir esta mujer, es perfecta ❤️.
Stephanie Duarte Barragán porque es sencilla, bonita y no intenta dársela de vampiresa, es ella misma. 😊

Young and incredible talents!
And then, God create to Anneke van Giersbergen, the rest is history...
Seriously? Nothing to say about René Rutten??
And still is^^ I love Anneke & Sharon on 'Somewhere'.
I don't think I've ever been so moved emotionally by music than when I listen to the gathering..annekes voice is beautiful. Love hearing her with Devin Townsend. The perfect duo
She does a song with the band Novembers Doom called “What could have been.” It’s great too even if she is supporting their singer.
Goosebumps...what a voice...
Met her a few times,she's beautiful in every way

I just couldnt agree more with you... Time runs! Thanx guys for these damn good memories, you're part of me. Anneke's an angel on Earth.
I love this performance. Incredible. The Gathering forever.
I'm glad I saw this at an older age so I can appreciate her now I wouldn't have liked this back then she's absolutely wonderful breathtaking and her vocal ability and her presentation and is also very pretty on top of it all perfect showmanship
This band creates music that’s amazing. No one better today. Look at the TG25 concert. ( someone put al the vid’s together to one show)
What a great voice and great band such talent
She is so beautiful. Her voice makes me love her, she is so beautiful.
great song, full of somber, great feeling with atmosphere. wish I could have easily this them in Europe.
