"Opium" (Dead Can Dance cover)

I had so much fun and pleasure singing this amazing song and making this video!
I love Dead Can Dance music and singing their song makes so much sense to me!
Hope you like it too!

Lyrics:
Sometimes
I feel like I want to live
Far from the metropolis
Just walk through that door
Sometimes
I feel like I want to die
Reach out to the painted sky
A prisoner to the wind
A bird on the wing
Sometimes
I feel the ocean in my blood
See rain from the sky above
Her salt brine tears
And now
Those tears leave a taste on my tongue
Like the warm rush you get from
Black opium
Black opium
Sometimes
I feel like I want to leave
Behind all these memories
And walk through that door
Outside
The black night calls my name
But all roads look the same
They lead nowhere
They lead nowhere

[@missThemurtas]

Gracias!!!

[@crazy-4-cooking]

Mariangela, what an OUTSTANDING voice you have, so much expression, you 100% FEEL what you want to tell. DAMN that's good.
Thanks to your friend Beatriz for showing the video she did for you, alongside some other GREAT tracks (metal and non-metal) you sung. Now I am stuck to your voice.
During her stream the voices got louder to get you and Beatriz Mariano to do some collab, and then even mentioning the befriended singer Madeleine Liljestam. You 3 would blend perfectly together, by voices, musically and by outstanding creativity, to form some pretty interesting collabs :)

[@missThemurtas]

ohhhh thank you so very very very much! yes girl power!:)

[@adrim267]

HOW did You get Your hands on the original instrumentals WITHOUT the vocal? I can't find it anywhere :/

[@craigwillers1810]

I believe you can extract the vocal and separate it with a vocal extractor.
