ABOUT ME: This is my open-minded exploration into the world of Music. I am a huge music fan, who loves to listen and learn about music in just about all genres. This channel's goal is to feature Music Reactions, Music News Commentary, New Music Reviews, Concert Vlogs, Band Interviews and much more....#metal #reaction #music #symphonicmetal #charlottewessels #simonesimons #dopamine
Your pronunciation of Simone's name is about as close as any of us Americans can get. Think you have to be Dutch to get it perfect. 😂
Pretty good song. Liked their collab, along with Myrkur, on EPICA's "Sirens of Blood and Water" more, but this is still good.
When you say collaboration, the first name I think of is Lzzy Hale, she has done a ton of them.
For Delain, with Charlotte, check out "Nothing Left" or "The Gathering, ( both Live) and both feat Marko. And with new singer Diana Leah, "Moth to a Flame"
Thank you for the support on her name. Another friend of the channel suggested using her nickname “Smoon”. I might start using that 🤘. I have to check out all of your collab suggestions. Thank you my friend.
Music is not a sport for me so dont really think one can say one band is better. Can definitely say i prefer one over another, and thats just my taste (Like flavor on ice cream).
Quite good song, easily get stuck on my brain.
I agree! You said it better than I did. I don’t like how people try to make a competition out of it. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Europeans quickly come into contact with foreign languages and also hear words in a foreign language in the news. They are also more likely to travel to countries with a different language. This gives them a better feel for the language. The Romance/Germanic mix of English offers a good basis for being able to pronounce many languages, but neither English nor Americans can use this.
With Simone, I have given up on how to pronounce her. She pronounces it differently herself. She doesn't seem to attach much importance to it.
The metal scene is not big, within the subgenres there are even fewer and people keep meeting at the many metal festivals. This creates personal contacts and the short distances in Europe make it easy to work together (the USA has 34 inhabitants/km², the EU 109. The density is higher in Western Europe and that is where most metal bands are. The EU is like the west and east coast of the USA, without the states in between). Freedom of travel and living within the EU allows this cross-border collaboration.
English is the language in which they communicate. If you have a talent for languages, you will also learn the languages of the countries you often visit. Many people will be able to speak a little German because many concerts take place there and important record labels are based there too.
That makes a lot of sense. Another comment mentioned that as Americans, we have a better sense of Spanish, because we are closer to those Spanish speaking countries. I can say that I can pronounce most Spanish names, I guess that might be part of it. Thank you as always my friend for your insight
You did it the first time! That was really close! But if you feel like you're still struggling with her name, you can use her nickname Smoon :D Should be easier to pronounce. And as for the song, I maybe expected more. The video is super fun, I like the lyrics a lot, both ladies work great together and the operatic style backing vocals are awesome, but it somehow feels like a demo to me. Idk, I have a slight problem with the whole production/mix/sound thing on this Charlotte's upcoming record.
I love the nickname Smoon! I might have to adopt it. It would make things easier. As far as the song goes, I enjoyed it. I think Chasing Sunsets is the better song. No matter what I can’t wait to hear the full album.
I expected so much more from this song, I guess I ruined it for myself. It feels like it's building up to something, and the something never comes. Sweet bass tone though.
I agree with your thoughts on competition, I see it happening a lot these days, too. One pop artist or rapper is pitted against another, and I stumble upon rather psychotic twitter exchanges on Reddit about artist X vs artist Y, and most of the time I'm just completely out of the loop (I don't want to be a metal elitist, I just really have no idea about pop music and there are tons of singers who sound the same so I confuse them). Guess it's a PR thing to generate attention for them, but why not just let their music talk by itself...
I haven't seen it in the rock and metal scene in North America, but collaborations, features and generally helping each other is pretty normal. A great example is one of my top 3 bands, Amorphis, who recruited their current singer Tomi Jousen almost 20 years ago. Dude has said in interviews that growling was no problem for him, but clean singing was difficult, so Amorphis got none other than Marko Hietala to mentor him. So Marko has producer credits for the vocals on like 4 Amorphis albums, I think, and has done backing vocals for them. Just artists helping each other out. Of course I hope they paid him, but my point still stands :D
In America we do have collaborations, but it’s not as prevalent. Our collaborations are typically two completely different bands doing a collaboration. You rarely see two people in the same genre collaborating.There is definitely way more competition on the pop side of things.
I definitely need to check out Amorphis. I did do one reaction to them, but I didn’t post it, because I don’t think I gave them a fair assessment. It was a release for their live album that just came out. I expected to see the crowd or even hear crowd noise, but it wasn’t there. It felt like Covid, when bands would perform streamed shows without the audience. I liked the song, but the video felt awkward to me. I definitely need to check them out again.
@@MattsMoshPit1 Oh they actually recorded this live album and their previous one during covid, I think in June or July 2021. I'd be curious to see the reaction, but if you want live material from them with audience and good sound, there's the Forging the Land of Thousand Lakes live album, from 2011. "My Kantele" is a great song, probably my favourite Amorphis song. Otherwise, "The Moon" or "Silver Bride" are good music videos to check out, you can actually hear Marko H in the second one.
Awesome, thank you for clarifying the live during Covid. It did seem odd. Also I have added you suggestions. Let’s see how they go.
Nah, you're (Americans that is) just...well. weirdly not good with Germanic Languages, like Dutch, German, all the Scandinavian languages... , probably *because* 2/3 of the vocabulary is similar so it automatically can be read but *sounds* different spoken - but hey, US Americans are very much better than most of Europe with Spanish, I e.g. can *read* most of Spanish operating from my (classical, i.e. from the Principate, that's Tacitus, Caesar, Augustus and the lot) Latin knowledge but you much more likely actually *hear* it spoken in the Mexican dialect.
In other, less academically inclined but much more fun matters - the cooperation you mentioned is awesome in the European metal scene(s), I sometimes feel that Charlotte Wessels and Melissa Bonny have to be the queens of coops - I encounter them all the time in all kinds of projects, sometimes overlapping, and Feuerschwanz and Lord of the Lost maybe the *bands* in this regards... but that's probably just my limited horizon.
I think this is based on the fact that a lot of those bands and singers are in the EU, and we have "Schengen" (and that's includes some non-EU countries) - meaning open borders with no further limits or checks and the freedom to reside and work anywhere in the Union... so that makes cooperation almost laughably easy, more like cooperating with a band that's a town over - but that's just my theory.🤫
Btw.: did you see Gojira in the opening ceremony if the Olympic games? If not, check it out, it was...*very* metal🤘...
Best regards

Thank you for providing the understanding on my lack of pronunciation. It does make a lot of sense. I hear Spanish all the time. In our schools the main languages to electively learn are Spanish, French and German. I would say that the vast majority of American students take Spanish (because they say it’s easier). I took 4 years of Spanish including college and I still can’t speak it. I can understand a little, but I would definitely be able to pronounce Spanish names much better. As far as Gojira goes, I loved that performance. It was great for them. I am shocked but so many people over here are asking who that band is. So they have definitely moved to the next level with that performance. I am happy for them and this genre of music. Thank you for writing in my friend.
@@MattsMoshPit1 Foreign language teaching in the USA has a legendary bad reputation. It's not just your Spanish that is useless after years of learning.
It is very sad, isn’t it
