THANKS, YOU LEGEND. 🔥
The narrator at the start is Tom Baker who was the fourth version of Doctor WHO in the original BBC series.
For me he is still THE Dr. Who. Must be 50 years since I watched episodes of Dr. Who with him in the title roll.
🤘🏻
😮
@@erickvermeulen9734I agree!
Simone Simons ( Sea- moaneh See-mons) grew up with 4 older brothers in the southern most province of the Netherlands, Limburg.(You may know the cheese)
Aside from being beautiful she has a wicked sense of humor,and writes or co- writes
a lot of stuff for Epica. (f.i. Sancta Terra)
Good friends with Floor, they have done a few concerts together...
I love it.
Simone Simons, lead vocalist of Epica, will release in couple of weeks a solo album recorded with the Ayreon crew, called Vermillion. She released already a few official video's, In Love We Rust, R.E.D. and Aeterna.
THANKS for the heads up.
This Ayreon song is kinda paired with "Daniel's Descent into Transitus", where Simone reprises her role here as the angel of death, and where the video also shows you the two backup singers, Caroline van Westendorp and Marcela Bovio. You heard them in this video at the point where the video didn't show the people singing. Would be cool if you did that video as well!
Anyway, I think now you should also delve into Epica, Simone's band. A good start is "Consign to Oblivion" (live at Zenith in Paris), preferably. But many other good choices as well, such as "Unleashed" (live at Retrospect 2013) and parts 1 and 3 of "Kingdom of Heaven", part of Omega Alive (Epica's pandemic project, a concert done with no audience).
I have a huge Epica list to begin. Stay tuned for that.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
From the most recent 10th Ayreon album in 2020, Transitus. It is a concept album, but is one of the few records not connected to the main story arc spanning other albums.
Yes that beautiful voice is Simone Simons. Lead singer of the Dutch symphonic metal band EPICA. there were 5 music videos made for this album. "Get Out", "Hopelessly Slipping Away", "Talk of the Town", and "Daniel’s Descent into Transitus Medley" ("Listen to My Story") , are the other 4.
Highly recommend checking out EPICA. Suggest "The Skeleton Key" from the Omega Alive virtual show, or "Code of Life' live in Amsterdam 2023 at AFAS Live.
I need a miniature version of you for my studio. 🫠🤘 your requests are on my list, doll.
That Daniel's descent to Transitus is soooooo good.
The rhythm and chords at the beginning are very similar to the Doctor Who theme in which narrator Tom Baker was the fourth actor to play the part. Like this song, the Doctor was obsessed with the Human race as well and that's why he laughs and quips at the end of his narration.
My ex loves Doctor Who. But I'm unfamiliar as a whole.
Remember I mentioned Doctor Who in my last comment to you? The sonorous voice at the beginning is none other than Tom Baker who played the Fourth Doctor from '76-'81. The repeated four-crotchet bass beat beneath his voice is an homage to the Doctor Who theme.
I do remember. An homage to Doctor Who... that bears a closer listen for me... Thanks.
NICE!! 😆
And this was also performed live at the latest Ayreon/Star One concert '01011001 - Live Beneath The Waves'. ruclips.net/video/M8LCLo6csu8/видео.html
Another one (which is fun) from Transitus is: 'Ayreon - Daniel’s Descent into Transitus Medley'. ruclips.net/video/ozmTXh2CBWw/видео.html
And most definite check out some more EPICA
I truly appreciate the links.
Simone is a regular in Ayreon. Also she is lead singer in Epica. From the Retrospect live show, 9 years ago comes this song with an orchestra and choir and Floor as a guest singer. Aother iconic performance.
ruclips.net/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/видео.htmlsi=RUai2WlZUhwnuqtk
She's a breathtaking vocalist.
@@VocalCitizen If this is not already on your list, than it is time to correct this failure. 😉
Simone is a singer in Epica - symphonic metal band. You can watch her singing together with Floor Jansen.

But there are many absolutely fantastic pieces of Epica like :

The Skeleton Key ruclips.net/video/mrppEWGl_ss/видео.htmlsi=GOF7n7Yow8UAIUoG&t=418
And many more but I leave them for real Epica funs because I'm crazy Nightwish one😁
I concur
A "Must See" ...!!!
I have a list now. You're a doll. Thanks.
🔥
Heard.
Go Simone!!!!!!!
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
This one is taken from Ayreon's latest album sofar, Transitus. Instead of a rockopera as a lot of the other albums are Tranistus is more a musical kind of thing. Transitus was planned as a movie initially but covid got in the way and the movie plans were skipped. So Arjen didn't want to leave all of it on the shelves but decided to release it as an Ayreon album. There was also a brilliant comic book that went along with the album to tell the story. There are 3 more video's from Transitus available on youtube. Arjen found it difficult to pick songs as this album flows fluently from one song into the other, it's one whole story, very enjoyable though. Yes, the singer is Simone Simons, lead singer of the band Epica. ( a band you should dive into also I suggest) She worked on several occasions with Arjen on Ayreon albums and live shows. Later this month her first solo album will be released and the music of that album is written by Arjen. 3 songs already released .😉
I LOVE LOVE LOVE background comments like this.
You are hereby awarded 103,477 cool points. Screenshot this thread. They could come in handy one day.
As others have mentioned, this is part of the Transitus story. I'm sure it's on your list, but watch Daniel's Decent into Transitus with Simone and Tommy Karevik from Kamelot. Their duets are great.
If you haven't watched it yet, watch the first release from Simone's solo album that she did with Arjen called Aeterna. You'll see and hear many similarities to this song.
I love the suggestions. Thank you!
Makes my job so much more efficient.
Arjen recorded the whole Transitus album as a comic book, divided into chapters! You should react to all the songs of this Transitus album in comic book video
I likely will. I'm in for the long haul.
A beautiful and emotional song by Epica, the group Simone is part of, is "EPICA feat. APOCALYPTICA - Rivers (Live At The AFAS LIVE)". Thank you for your reactions.
I have started an Epica list.
💕💕💕💕💕💕
the father in Transitus is played by Dee Snider (twisted sister)
I came up on Twisted Sister... lol
Check out Simone as lead singer of the band EPICA ! Begin with: Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO). that's a nice opener ! MUST DO AND SEE !
I will start an Epica playlist.
Hi VC, you should definitely check out Simone's band EPICA, they are incredible, here is a great song and performance from a show last year in Amsterdam 🙃
EPICA - Unleashed (Live At The AFAS Live)
I have a METRIC F*CKTON of Epica links.
Gonna tackle those this week and into the next.
Nice 🙃
Also nice ...EPICA - "Code of Life" (Live At The AFAS Live)
An EPICA list has been started.
DARE I SAY NIICEE!! yes its a great concept for a song, the dark angel describe how they look at humans, they confuse, but their passion consumes us.. well human aint to logic always, they can go in many directions, and not always take the right steps, and some make a good show..lol
Simone Simons often do seduce you.. i speak as a man.. woth voice or look, she is one of my favorire singers..
Arjen Lucassen once described Simone as a human, why got a dry sense of humour, and make him laugh.. and she is defienly a woman, she also got her own makeup line, and love shopping..
I have re-watching this video several times and have found nuances and subtleties that have continued to enhance the experience. It's amazing work.
The asteroid belt between Mars & Jupiter would be a great place for an alien ship to hide in disguise.
🧐 fascinatingly accurate
Lovely Simone 😍
Isn't she, though??
This one. EPICA - Kingdom of Heaven Pt 3 - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) (OFFICIAL VIDEO). etc. etc. etc.
Thanks. 👌
Simone is awesome but for me it'll always be Marcela Bovio (one of the Furies providing background vocals here, not seen until the Daniel Descends into Transitus video). Loved her since Stream of Passion (another Arjen project band from like way before this).
I'm doing a Marcella Bovio tune tomorrow... first one!
Tell you more about Simone, you ask? Here... these two videos tell you everything you need to know about Simone. Well, OK, not _everything_! They don't show you her metal side, but they're a good, well-rounded starting point: ruclips.net/video/SPo49WKBOYw/видео.html AND ruclips.net/video/nhtOORYTGx8/видео.html
I LOVE LINKS
@@VocalCitizen These two will knock your socks off! 😀
ruclips.net/video/QYwb3FTH_z0/видео.html Ayreon and Simone together again on solo album Simone
I love links. 💜
So, you like Floor. You like Simone.
Well, check out the 2 of them together. This is Epica's retrospective concert/tour .
Song, Sancta Terra.
ruclips.net/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/видео.htmlsi=Cv7sic2nTuwSWcTW
You're a doll. Thanks for the link.
Do yourself a favour, look into Marcela Bovio. She works a lot with Arjen/Ayreon and is a fantastic singer herself. She does a lot of the backing vocals (also in this track + many others & all the live shows).
Simone Simons lead vocal of Symphonic Metal band Epica, best friend & former room mate of Floor Jansen. Epica is like the heavier cousin of Nightwish. Mark Jansen founder of Epica was a band mate of Floor Jansen while in After Forever a Dutch Symphonic Metal band . Please check out Code of Life live at AFAS.
I absolutely will. Thanks for watching!
Simone was NEVER a room mate of Floor Jansen
Simone simons of Epica, Floor's college roomie, i think. Cry for the moon is one masterpiece of theirs, besides all of it, other noteworthy songs are consign to oblivion, final lullaby, sancta terra, others i cant think of titles for lol.
Awesome thanks. ON THE LIST
Floor and Simone have NEVER been room mates and were NEVER at college at the same time
@richardwest6358 like I said, that one I wasn't sure about. I know they're friends.

I am not sure if you would like to see Arjen sing but this link should send you to the song amazing flight from the concert Into the electric castle and other tales. He is singing as the hippy. Arjen is just so modest about himself but he is better than he thinks he is. And it’s a great song
Retrospect was a one off concert with a full symphony orchestra and choir for Epica's tenth anniversary - there was NO TOUR
I thank you for the link. I want to see everything this man has created.
